Dancing with the Stars 35 Dancing with the Stars eliminees Ezra Sosa and Julia Stiles have made their partnership permanent with matching tattoos following their emotional elimination from the competition.

Ezra, 25, shared a photo via Instagram Stories on November 3 showing Julia getting tattooed by artist Christian Delacruz, following through on a plan the friends had discussed earlier in the season.

Julia had already heard about Ezra's tattoo tradition before they were paired, telling E! News in September that she had watched Dancing with the Stars many times over the years.

Ezra said the idea of getting ink together came up early, although they hadn't settled on what the tattoos would represent.

Ezra has made a pattern of getting tattoos with his Dancing with the Stars celebrity partners. In 2024, he got the word "Nothing" in honor of Anna Delvey, then joined Jordan Chiles for matching "Just Married" tattoos.

The pro dancer shared a longer tribute to Julia on Instagram on November 4, posting a video of her watching one of his Dancing with the Stars performances before they ever met.

Julia had shown him the clip to prove she was a longtime fan, but Ezra said it captured his first appearance on the show. He reflected that Julia later became "my partner, my best friend, and one of the most important people in my life."

Julia's time on the show also included a tribute to her late 10 Things I Hate About You co-star Heath Ledger.

Ezra praised her for continuing to show up through difficult days and said that while he had entered the competition hoping to teach her about dancing, she ended up teaching him about life, love and friendship.

"I wish you could see yourself through my eyes. I wish you could see how much you've grown, how brave you've been, and how much you've accomplished," Ezra gushed.

"Even on the hardest days, you kept showing up, kept fighting, and kept giving your whole heart. Somewhere between the rehearsals, the laughter, and the tears, you became so much more than my dance partner."

Ezra said his favorite part of the experience wasn't a particular dance or score, but getting to know Julia and becoming her friend.

Ezra added that saying goodbye was difficult because they wouldn't get to experience those first moments together again.

"But if I could go back, knowing every high, every low, and every tear we'd shed, I'd do it a thousand times over," Ezra noted.

"I love you, Julia. always. And if fate ever lets me find you in another lifetime, I hope I get to be your dance partner there too."

Julia and Ezra's scores climbed as they found their rhythm on Dancing with the Stars. They opened with 18 out of 30 judges' points for their quickstep routine and eventually worked up to 33 out 40 points for their memorable jazz number on "Super Bowl Night," which was a nod to her starring role on Save the Last Dance.

Julia and Ezra's highest individual score was 36 out of 40 points on "Dedication Night," when they had performed a contemporary routine to "Can't Take My Eyes Off You."

They hit a setback on "Horror Movie Night," scoring only 26 out of 40 points for their Argentine tango, but bounced back with 33 out of 40 points for their paso doble on "Disney Night." The couple was eliminated eight weeks into the competition.

Industry News : Whitney Leavitt to star on her own Hulu reality show after 'Mormon Wives' exit
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives alum Whitney Leavitt is returning to reality TV with a Hulu series of her own.

Hulu has ordered an untitled series starring Whitney, 33, that will follow her as she balances a growing career with family life, Deadline reported.

The project also involves Jeff Jenkins Productions, 3BMG, and Leavitt Media House, reuniting the #MomTok influencer with some of the team behind The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

Whitney hinted at the news on Wednesday, November 4, posting a video with the caption, "See you soon."

The Broadway performer also shared Deadline's headline about the series on her Instagram Stories.

The new show comes after Whitney announced she was leaving The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, where she had appeared since the Hulu series premiered in September 2024.

The show follows the women in the viral MomTok community, and Whitney became one of its most recognizable cast members, in part because of her clashes with other women during the first season.

Whitney shared the news of her departure in May, during her final performance as Roxie Hart in Chicago. She announced it onstage while still in character, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

And in an August interview with People, she called the series an important chapter in her life and said, "[It's] time for that chapter to end. Regrets? Plenty. But I wouldn't change a thing."

Whitney has continued taking on television and stage roles since then. She and her Dancing with the Stars pro partner Mark Ballas reached the semifinals on Season 34 of Dancing with the Stars in late 2025.

After the competition ended for them, Whitney told the magazine she missed dancing and seeing the cast in the studio, and described leaving as a "breakup" she was still healing from.

In September, she was also announced as a contestant on the next season of The Traitors, which premieres in early 2027 on Peacock. Her husband, Conner Leavitt, had a shorter run on Dancing with the Stars, where he was eliminated on the first night of the Season 35 competition this fall.

On Broadway, Whitney is preparing to return as Sandra Dee in Just in Time, opposite Jeremy Jordan. The six-week engagement at New York City's Circle in the Square Theatre runs through January 10, 2027.

Whitney told People that seeing Jonathan Groff, who originated the role of Bobby Darin, perform in the musical helped spark her interest.

"He's the best of all time," she gushed.

Her previous Broadway run as Roxie Hart also had a notable finish: Chicago recorded its highest weekly box office gross in the production's 29-year history while she was in the cast.

But Whitney credited the cast and crew for the show's success, saying, "It was a group effort to be able to do that because we all pushed really hard to market it. How can we find creative ways to get people to come and see the show? I'm so happy I got to be a part of that."

Meanwhile, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' sixth season is going to look much different on Hulu.

Taylor Frankie Paul and Mikayla Matthews both previously announced they won't be returning, and Layla Taylor and Miranda McWhorter hinted in September that they may be done with the show also.

There has been tension amongst the fifth-season cast of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast for months. Taylor apologized for belittling her co-stars' achievements earlier this year.

People News : 'Love Is Blind's only Season 11 married couple has already filed for divorce
Love Is Blind Love Is Blind Season 11's only married couple, Sarah Williams and John Shannon, had already filed for divorce months before their season debuted on Netflix.

Sarah, 34, filed for divorce from John, 33, in Massachusetts on June 4, citing an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage as the cause of their split, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.

The filing reportedly listed Sarah and John's wedding date as March 27, 2025, and revealed that they were living separately by April 15, 2026.

Sarah asked to legally restore her maiden name and requested that the couple's assets and debts be divided.

The timing puts Sarah and John's breakup in the spotlight ahead of Netflix release of the season's reunion show on Sunday, November 8. Netflix began releasing Love Is Blind's Season 11 episodes for streaming last month on October 14.

In a preview for the reunion, Nick Lachey -- who co-hosts Love Is Blind with his wife, Vanessa Lachey -- asks John, "I'll ask you point blank, did you cheat on your wife?"

Their relationship had drawn attention from the start. In the pods, Sarah reportedly overheard John describe her as one of his "bottom" choices. Later, they clashed over healthcare and politics, including their views on vaccines and abortion.

Sarah told Us Weekly in October that the episode showed only part of a much longer discussion. She said she understood viewers' reaction when she watched the scene back, but felt she and John had come together and "met in the middle."

Sarah also said she could have accepted an answer from him that did not match her own values. Sarah wished viewers could have seen more of the conversation, which she described as positive and part of the reason they continued their relationship.

John addressed the disagreement in an Instagram post on October 16. He said he supports "a woman's right to choose" and does not consider himself anti-vaccine.

He also clarified that he does not believe abortion should be illegal, and said his latest vaccine was for shingles, which doctors recommended before he began treatment for multiple sclerosis.

John added that he appreciated the kind comments people had made about Sarah. Their conversation, he said, had lasted an hour but was cut down to about 45 seconds for the show.

Despite the early disagreements, Sarah and John were the only couple to wed during Love Is Blind's Season 11 finale, which was released on Netflix on Wednesday, November 4.

People News : 'Mormon Wives' star Jen Affleck files for divorce while pregnant with Zac Affleck's child
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Jen Affleck and her husband Zac Affleck are calling it quits on their marriage.

Jen, 27, filed for divorce from her husband, 30, after seven years of marriage on Tuesday, November 3, People reported.

Jen filed the paperwork in the Fourth Judicial District Court in Provo, UT.

Jen and Zac met on a Mormon dating app in 2018 and got married in June 2019. They welcomed three children together: daughters Nora, 5, and Penny, 1, and son Lucas, 3.

The pair announced in June that they're expecting their fourth child together.

Jen and Zac are both going to appear on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County spinoff, which had been announced by Hulu in April 2026.

Jen told Us Weekly in August that while she initially hesitated to film a Mormon Wives spinoff, she ultimately decided to do the show because it's "important" to her to show viewers "what happens and how hard it is" to struggle with postpartum or prenatal depression.

"I hope that anyone who's gone through any form of depression watching the show can relate [to] me and can kind of feel seen because it was hard showing up," Jen shared this past summer.

"It was hard sharing and it's also really vulnerable having to share the darkest seasons of your life. But I think in doing so, as long as it's helping someone, that's all I care about."

Jen has been open about her own experience with prenatal depression, and she told the magazine that she was "feeling way better" at the time.

"Definitely seeing more of the light at the end of the tunnel now that I'm not deathly ill and sick and on bed rest," Jen explained.

"I have always struggled, specifically the first trimester of every pregnancy. It's interesting because I never was a person to really struggle with depression throughout my life."

The original The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives series documented Jen and Zac's ups and downs over the past five seasons.

On Season 5, which filmed in early 2026, Jen and Zac were shown arguing about her desire to be an actress.

During one tense scene, Jen claimed Zac had threatened to divorce her if she accepted an acting role with an on-screen relationship. Zac also wasn't onboard with Jen posing for a Sports Illustrated photo shoot, calling it a magazine for "creepy old men who want to masturbate," according to People.

"At the end of the day, I want to feel like I have agency in our marriage and that you don't control me and that I can make this decision," Jen reportedly told Zac on the show.

She added in a confessional, "Having this conversation is making me realize I don't know if I'll ever be able to go after what I actually want. It's making me really question what our relationship will look like in the future."

When Jen is set to star on the Mormon Wives spinoff, Season 6 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is going to look much different when it returns to Hulu.

Taylor Frankie Paul and Mikayla Matthews both previously announced they won't be returning, and Layla Taylor and Miranda McWhorter hinted in September that they may be done with the show also.

There has been tension amongst the fifth-season cast of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast for months. Taylor apologized for belittling her co-stars' achievements earlier this year.

In addition to her role on Mormon Wives, Jen also competed on Season 34 of Dancing with the Stars in  late 2025.

People News : 'The Bachelor' and 'Dancing with the Stars' alum Melissa Rycroft breaks silence on second DWI arrest
Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars Melissa Rycroft is speaking out about her mental health after being arrested on suspicion of DWI for a second time in just over a year.

The Bachelor and Dancing with the Stars alum, 43, shared a personal message Tuesday, November 3 on Instagram, acknowledging how the recent arrest has affected her and revealing that she's seeking professional care.

RELATED LINK: 'THE BACHELOR' FRANCHISE COUPLES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER?? (PHOTOS)

"First, please know how deeply ashamed and embarrassed I am, especially knowing how much this has affected my friends and family," Melissa began in her written statement.

"I want to share something personal, and to be honest, I am very ashamed to share it, but I can't hide it anymore. I've been struggling with my mental health for quite some time now."

Melissa admitted her mental-health battle has actually "completely overwhelmed" her.

"I've tried to hide what I've been going through by putting on a smile, but behind the scenes, things have been much harder than anyone realized or that I have let on, even to my family," Melissa continued.

"No excuses at all, but I'm finally admitting that I need help. I've fought this for a long time on my own, and it's time to admit that I can't do it anymore."

Melissa confirmed that she's getting "professional care" right away.

"This is so hard to say and the shame is still very much there," she noted, "but I'm ready to feel like myself again, for me and for my family. They have stood by me through all of this, and they deserve honesty."

Melissa pointed out that her family deserves to see her at her "best" and so she's "working toward" that for the sake of everyone she cares about.

"Please have some grace with me, if you have it in your heart, as I focus on trying to get healthy, and please respect my family's privacy as they navigate this with me, too. Thank you," Melissa concluded.

Melissa was arrested on suspicion of DWI after allegedly hitting an ambulance and leaving the scene in Texas. Her arrest came two months after she pleaded guilty to a previous DWI charge.

According to a Southlake Police Department press release obtained by People, officers responded at about 5:50PM on Saturday, October 31, to a hit-and-run involving a fire department ambulance. The ambulance was stopped at a stop sign when another vehicle allegedly struck it and left the scene.

Officers later found the other vehicle's driver and identified her as Melissa. She was charged with DWI, second offense, driving with an invalid license and causing an accident involving more than $200 in vehicle damage. No one was injured.

Melissa was booked, once again by Southlake police, into the Keller Jail on November 1. Her bond was set at $9,000, according to jail records obtained by People. TMZ was first to report the arrest.

The new charges follow a separate crash and arrest in September 2025, when Melissa's Cadillac Escalade had struck a tree.

Witnesses had reported seeing the vehicle being driven erratically before the crash, but no other vehicles were involved and no injuries were reported.

Melissa admitted on Instagram in October 2025 that her life really sucked at the time, and she added, "I'm struggling, but I'm trying to march forward."

She pleaded guilty to DWI in August 2026 and received 20 months of probation instead of jail time. She was also reportedly ordered to pay $2,000 in fines and court costs, complete 36 hours of community service, take a DWI education course and undergo a substance abuse evaluation.

Her probation conditions included abstaining from alcohol and illegal drugs, using a camera-equipped ignition interlock device in her vehicle and submitting to drug and alcohol testing.

On The Bachelor's 13th season in 2009, Jason Mesnick proposed marriage to the former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader and the pair got engaged.

However, Jason dumped Melissa on The Bachelor: After the Final Rose in favor of his runner-up -- and now wife -- Molly Malaney.

Melissa then quickly entered into a new relationship with her former boyfriend Tye Strickland, whom she had previously dated on and off after meeting three years earlier. The couple subsequently got engaged in June 2009 and wed in December of that year.

After her rejection by Jason, Melissa also accepted an offer to join Dancing with the Stars' Spring 2009 season as a last-minute replacement for injured Access Hollywood co-anchor Nancy O'Dell. 

Melissa finished the DWTS competition in third place behind Gilles Marini and eventual champ Shawn Johnson. She later returned for Dancing with the Stars: All Stars in 2012 and won the season.

Melissa and Tye share a daughter Ava, 15, as well as two sons, Beckett, 12, and Cayson, 10.

Melissa and Tye briefly starred on a reality show of their own titled Melissa & Tye on CMT in 2012.

Melissa also held down different jobs over the years, such as an entertainment news correspondent and co-host of ABC's former Bachelor Pad spinoff.

People News : 'Survivor 47' alum Caroline Vidmar marries longtime partner Austin Young
Survivor 47 Survivor 47 alum Caroline Vidmar and her longtime partner Austin Young tied the knot on Halloween after more than 12 years together.

Caroline, who finished seventh on Survivor's 47th season, and Austin got married at Monserate Winery in Fallbrook, CA, on Saturday, October 31, surrounded by 150 guests, People reported.

RELATED LINK: 'SURVIVOR' COUPLES NOW: WHO'S STILL TOGETHER?! WHICH SHOWMANCES SPLIT UP? (PHOTOS) 

The couple described the celebration as "California autumn meets Italian vineyard," with pink accents and whimsical details giving the day a lively feel.

Guests dressed in formal attire for the wedding and then changed into Halloween costumes for the afterparty.

Among those celebrating were Survivor alums Andy Rueda, Anika Dhar, Aysha Welch, Gabe Ortis, Genevieve Mushaluk, Kyle Ostwald, Rachel LaMont, Sam Phalen, Sierra Ammerman, Sol Yi, Stephanie Berger, Sue Smey, and Teeny Chirichillo.

The date was apparently a happy accident because Caroline and Austin had their hearts set on Monserate Winery after their first venue tour, and Halloween was the only Saturday the winery had available in Fall 2026.

"Getting married on Halloween has become our favorite happy coincidence," the couple shared with the magazine.

"It definitely wasn't something we planned for. We fell in love with Monserate the moment we toured it, and it was the first and only wedding venue we visited. So even though the only Saturday in fall they had available was Halloween, saying yes was an easy choice."

Caroline said the holiday soon became one of her favorite parts of planning, especially because it gave the couple a chance to add surprises for their guests.

"We knew we wanted a wedding that was uniquely us, and part of that is sprinkling in fun surprises for guests," she said. "Having our wedding on Halloween gave us the perfect inspiration."

RELATED LINK: 'BIG BROTHER' SHOWMANCES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER? WHICH COUPLES HAVE SPLIT UP?? (PHOTOS)

For the welcome party, Caroline put together a clue-based trick-or-treat game. Guests played "find the guest" bingo using facts they had submitted about themselves, with candy as the prize. Anyone who finished that game could try another one on the wedding day, following a riddle to a final prize of Italian candles.

Caroline wore a gown by Monique Lhuillier for her big day, while Austin sported a Michael Kors tuxedo. 

When the bride walked down the aisle, a custom piano version of "In My Life" by The Beatles played, which was a meaningful choice considering Austin used to send Caroline his favorite Beatles love songs when he was a college freshman and she was still a high school senior.

Caroline also chose to wear her mother's wedding veil before realizing that its lace almost matcher her dress perfectly.

"It felt surreal that we separately chose an almost identical lace for our wedding day 30 years apart," she said.

During cocktail hour, guests took part in the winery's first-ever wedding guest wine tasting with caviar. Dinner included a choice of braised boneless short rib or sesame-crusted tuna steak.

Engaged guests also found Ring Pops and a note from Caroline and Austin at their seats, congratulating them on their own upcoming weddings.

The couple served a vanilla bean wedding cake with whipped cream frosting, alongside lemon bars, millionaire bars and chocolate chip cookies for dessert.

Caroline and Austin said neither of them had spent much time imagining a wedding day before they started planning one and their celebration ended up feeling like a "massive party more than 12 years in the making" and a "dream we didn't know we had."

The pair first met in high-school Spanish class and grew closer while traveling to Model U.N. conferences. After a year of friendship, they began dating following a conference at UC Berkeley, where both would later attend college.

Austin proposed marriage during a surprise trip to Laguna Niguel, CA, a place that reminded them of the cliffs near their hometown of Palos Verdes.

"It's surreal that we've been with each other for almost half of our lives," Caroline said. "We're so grateful to have grown up together and become even closer over these past 12 and a half years."

"We've been each other's life partners for such a long time," she added, "and we're thrilled to start the next chapter of our relationship by officially becoming family."

RELATED LINK: 'THE AMAZING RACE' COUPLES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER? WHO HAS SPLIT? WHERE ARE THEY NOW? (PHOTOS)

Caroline was a 27-year-old strategy consultant from California when she competed on Survivor 47. She served on the jury and ultimately voted for Rachel LaMont to win. Rachel won in a landslide vote, with runner-up Sam Phalen only receiving one vote.

People News : 'Bachelor in Paradise' alum Tanner Courtad finally addresses Julianne Hough dating rumors
The Bachelorette 20 Bachelor in Paradise alum Tanner Courtad has addressed rumors he was once romantically involved with Dancing with the Stars co-host Julianne Hough.

"That was short-lived, but it was fun," Tanner, 33, shared during the Tuesday, November 3 episode of the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast.

RELATED LINK: 'DANCING WITH THE STARS' PROS AND THEIR SIGNIFICANT OTHERS: WHO'S DATING OR MARRIED TO WHOM!? (PHOTOS)

Tanner recalled attending a live taping of Dancing with the Stars' 33rd season in early December 2024, when former The Bachelor star Joey Graziadei was competing as one of the celebrity contestants.

"I was going to Dancing with the Stars to support Joey, and I was sitting in the front row, and [pro dancer Ezra Sosa] came over to me, and he goes, 'Hey, our host thinks you're cute. Can I give you her number?'" Tanner recalled.

Tanner was apparently stunned -- in a good way -- about the request.

"I look back at [Bachelor in Paradise alum] Justin Glaze. I'm like, 'Did you hear that? Is this a prank?' I thought Justin was in on it or something," Tanner explained.

"But no, we chatted. I actually met her out in the parking lot. We talked for a couple of minutes, decided to go on a date and talked for a little bit."

Tanner also revealed that he and Julianne "went to the park with her dog, got some sushi, [and] hung out for the night."

Tanner said he and the pro dancer and actress were "spotted by the paparazzi" when they were picking up their sushi dinner.

At the time, Just Jared had published photos of Julianne and Tanner enjoying dinner together at Sportsman's Lodge in Studio City, CA. They were also photographed walking Julianne's dog.

"It was very short-lived," Tanner repeated of his relationship with Julianne.

"Julianne's great," he added, "but it was never anything more than just, like, a single singular date."

RELATED LINK: 'THE BACHELOR' FRANCHISE COUPLES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER?? (PHOTOS)

The podcast's co-hosts Rachel Recchia and Charity Lawson asked Tanner if Julianne was the one who had decided their romance wouldn't progress past one outing.

"Yeah, I think so," Tanner replied. "I blew it, guys."

After Tanner failed to receive Charity's final rose on The Bachelorette's 20th season, he looked for love on Bachelor in Paradise's ninth season in Summer 2023.

During his Paradise stint, Tanner dated Rachel as well as Kat Izzo and Davia Bunch. He also made a move on Jess Girod, although their attraction to each other never became something serious.

Tanner ultimately left Bachelor in Paradise single.

Tanner and fellow Bachelor in Paradise Season 9 star Olivia Lewis sparked dating rumors in December 2023, but they may have just been friends. Tanner was later spotted with Brittany Cartwright in August 2024 amid her divorce from Jax Taylor.

According to Tanner, however, he was "always just friends" with The Valley star.

"Brittany's great. When I first moved out to L.A., I knew nothing about reality TV. I never watched Vanderpump Rules. I went to the sports bar. It was called Jax's. I met this owner named Brittany," he shared on the podcast.

"She's from Kentucky and she's bubbly and nice. So we started talking, and then I posted a picture with us on Instagram. And my mom DMed me and was like, 'How do you know Brittany Cartwright?' And I was like, 'How do you know Brittany Cartwright?'"

Tanner joked about how he's "an idiot" who doesn't watch much reality television.

"The media just ran away with the story. It was never anything more than a friendship with us," he said.

"But Brittany's great. And her friends are awesome. It was always just a friendship. There was never anything more there."

Julianne, meanwhile, was previously married to Brooks Laich between 2017 and 2020.

Before Julianne and Brooks finalized their divorce, Julianne revealed how she's "not straight" but still believes she will eventually have a husband.

Featured Galleries : 'The Amazing Race' Couples Now: Where are they now? Who's still together? (PHOTOS)
The Amazing Race 39 The Amazing Race has been airing on CBS for 25 years, which means viewers have seen dozens of engaged or dating couples race around the world during that time.

Dating, engaged and married couples have always been considered a threat to other teams on The Amazing Race due to the quality of their pre-existing relationships and knowledge of each other's strengths and weaknesses.

In most cases, the team dynamic of being life partners proves to be advantageous on any given season.

"If you've got a really strong male partner and a really strong female partner, those are almost -- that is a team right there that is super, super hard to beat because they are always going to complement each other, and they're going to be really good at being able to separate tasks," returning Season 31 The Amazing Race racer Art Velez told Reality TV World in 2019.

"You get two guys out there and you've got to dance, you know, two guys trying to dance is not going to happen."

Over the seasons, viewers have watched some dating couples get engaged on the show while others at least gush about how working together on The Amazing Race made their relationships stronger.

People News : Charity Lawson celebrates tropical 'The Bachelorette'-themed party with familiar faces
The Bachelorette 20 Charity Lawson celebrated her upcoming wedding to Dotun Olubeko with a Bahamas getaway, where some of her fellow The Bachelor alums joined her for a weekend inspired by the show that brought them together.

Charity, 30, and Dotun met and got engaged on Season 20 of The Bachelorette, which aired in June 2023 on ABC.

The New York-based couple continued to fall in love and deepen their relationship in the real world, and they've been in the process of planning their wedding for a while now.

One of Charity's wedding events was a big&nbsp;party over Halloween weekend with a particularly fitting theme: "The Bachelorette's bachelorette."

The ladies spent the weekend at the Grand Hyatt Baha Mar, an oceanfront resort in Nassau, People reported.

Charity celebrated with Kat Izzo, Gabi Elnicki, Jess Girod, Mercedes Northup and Kylee Russell, along with other close friends and family members, including her sister Mia and future sister-in-law Teju.

"It's crazy when, as a little girl, you think you can envision what these moments look like, but you can't because they will always surprise you in the best ways," Charity told the magazine.

The venue was decked out with roses, red balloons, hearts and candles, along with a cardboard cutout of Dotun.

A custom lace sign and a bar sign reading "Will you accept this cocktail?" brought more Bachelorette touches to the party, while some of the bridal attire read "Mrs. Olubeko."

Charity said having all of those women in one room was "a moment in time I want to stand still in."

The group swam with pigs and sea turtles, spent a day on a boat, took a cooking class, went dancing, shared meals together, and had an impromptu karaoke session. They also stayed in for games and stories on the first night of the trip.

Kat pointed out that the group had returned to the same location where Zach Shallcross' Season 27 of The Bachelor was filmed nearly three years earlier, almost to the exact date.

Jess shared a photo of Charity walking arm in arm with her friends, joking, "The bride laughing while crying = successful weekend."

And Gabi also noted that "many tears were shed," adding, "She's literally the cutest crier I've ever seen."

Charity said the celebration made her "that much more excited" to get married, adding, "To celebrate these moments with these girls will always be the best memory."

Back in May, Charity shared wedding-planning details on the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast and how she wanted to&nbsp;book a three-week honeymoon in Tanzania.

That same month, Charity and Dotun celebrated the three-year anniversary of their engagement.

Charity revealed in February 2026 that her bridal party is going to be reserved for family only.

She also teased three outfit changes for her wedding: a "timeless and traditional" dress for the ceremony, a "flirty, festive and high-glam" look for the reception, and a cultural outfit change that will make Dotun's Nigerian family proud.

In January 2026, Charity confirmed she and Dotun had set their wedding date, although she said they wouldn't be publicly revealing it.

Charity and Dotun said they got the ball rolling on wedding planning in April 2025 after admittedly putting the process "on pause" in 2024 because they felt overwhelmed.

Charity explained that she and Dotun wanted to take their time with the wedding because they didn't want to get stressed out.

In addition to her journeys on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, Charity also competed on Dancing with the Stars' 32nd season and made the finals.

Featured Galleries : 'Survivor' Couples Now: Where are they now? Who is still together? (PHOTOS)
Survivor 51 Survivor has been airing on CBS&nbsp;for 26&nbsp;years --&nbsp;and with&nbsp;single, attractive castaways competing on each season, it's not surprising love has sometimes bloomed on the reality competition!

Survivor debuted on CBS in Summer 2000 and Survivor 51,&nbsp;the franchise's 51th season, is airing on the network this fall.

Survivor is best known for its thrilling blindsides, complicated strategy, and memorable physical and mental challenges, but what would the game be without its showmances?!

"Power couples" develop&nbsp;on the show whether they be intimate or friendly connections. A power couple is almost always viewed as a huge threat in the game, however sometimes the castaways don't care because they're desperate for a little companionship.

Not only have Survivor viewers watched castaways -- who haven't showered or brushed their teeth in days or weeks -- kiss and cuddle on-screen, but they've also witnessed many showmances develop into real, sincere relationships outside of the show.

In several cases, these romances even turned into marriages. In other cases, however, the dynamic was mere lust on a deserted island.

"We were caught on-camera many times. I'm sure there was a lot of footage that would not be suitable for home viewers, if you know what I mean! It was jungle love, man," Ozzy Lusth told Entertainment Weekly when asked about his hot and steamy showmance with Amanda Kimmel on Survivor's 16th season.

Since it's hard to keep track of all the Survivor lovebirds, Reality TV World has taken a look back at the&nbsp;hottest&nbsp;and most memorable showmances.


<H2>What happened to Survivor's showmance couples? Who is still together, and which Survivor couples have split up and are no longer together?</H2>And what about the off-screen Survivor couples that happened once the castaways returned home and met up in the real world??

People News : 'The Golden Bachelor' star Mel Owens breaks his silence about Peg Munson breakup
The Golden Bachelor Mel Owens has spoken out after his The Golden Bachelor Season 2 winner, Peg Munson, announced their split and claimed she had ended their relationship.

Mel recently took to Instagram and posted a selfie at the gym.

RELATED LINK: 'THE BACHELOR' FRANCHISE COUPLES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER?? (PHOTOS)

"Stay positive. Stay strong. Stay golden," Mel, 67, captioned his post.

He added, "And Stay Bizzy...#bachelornation #fyp #fypage #workouts #inshape."

Fans rushed to the comments section to ask Mel what went wrong in his relationship with Peg, 63.

But one person argued, "Mel doesn't owe anyone an explanation of every detail of his breakup. Just because someone is in the public eye doesn't mean they surrender their right to privacy."

Mel replied, "Amen. Thank you."

Mel also thanked some people for their kind words" and clarified that his hard work in the gym doesn't mean he's on a revenge or "breakup diet."

Mel and Peg dated for about a year after they filmed the show.

Peg announced her breakup with Mel in an Instagram video on October 21, which she captioned, in part, "Sometimes love is real, but the outcome isn't what you hoped for."

Peg began in the video, "I just want to take a moment, and I really want to thank everybody for being there on this journey with me this past year."

"And I'm really sorry that I haven't spoken out sooner," she added, "but it's been a really difficult 30 days for me."

Peg, a retired firefighter and bomb technician, said she had found what she was looking for when she competed for Mel's heart on The Golden Bachelor's second season in 2025.

"As a lot of you guys know, I went on The Golden Bachelor hoping to find love, and I did. And you know, for that, I'm grateful," Peg shared.

"I did have to make the difficult decision to step away from the relationship, and you know, sometimes even when there's love, it just doesn't turn out the way that we hoped."

RELATED LINK: 'THE BACHELORETTE' COUPLES NOW: WHOM DID 'THE BACHELORETTE' STARS AND THEIR BACHELOR PICKS ULTIMATELY END UP WITH?! (PHOTOS)&nbsp;

Peg did not disclose the reason behind her split from Mel, but she said she's looking forward to her next chapter.

"I'm just focusing on healing my heart and just focusing on myself and my health," Peg explained.

Peg also wished Mel "the best of luck" and thanked fans for their support throughout her journey on the ABC reality dating series.

"I'm very grateful for the experience," Peg said.

"I'm grateful for the memories and most of all, I'm grateful for you guys along this journey with me and all the wonderful DMs that I've been getting, and all the messages that I've been getting and just all the kind words of love and support."

Peg reiterated her appreciation for fans in the caption of her Instagram post.

"Thank you for standing beside me this past year. Your kindness means more than you know," Peg wrote.

"This is not the end of my story. It's the beginning of a new chapter. Stay tuned and follow along for more."

Peg later teased that she'll share more details about her relationship with Mel on a podcast she's launching with fellow The Golden Bachelor alum Terri Alani on November 14.

Mel, a former NFL linebacker who played for the Los Angeles Rams, selected Peg as his winner when The Golden Bachelor's second season was filmed in 2025.

Although Mel presented Peg with a 3.5-carat diamond ring during the Final Rose Ceremony, according to People, he stopped short of proposing marriage and instead expressed his commitment to their relationship.

When the season finale aired in November 2025, Mel declared that he was "in love" with Peg, who confirmed she felt the same way.

By the time the finale aired, Mel and Peg had already continued their relationship away from the cameras. The couple repeatedly said in podcast appearances in recent months that their connection had grown and their relationship was thriving.

While Peg had previously said she and Mel were discussing marriage and what their dream wedding would look like, she confirmed in late September on the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast that she'd reject Mel's marriage proposal if he asked her.

Peg's revelation that she'd turn down Mel's marriage proposal raised eyebrows and made some fans question if there was trouble in paradise. After their breakup, those suspicions appeared justified.

Casting News : 'Dancing with the Stars' pro Britt Stewart addresses quitting rumors after another early exit
Dancing with the Stars 35 After another early exit on Dancing with the Stars, Britt Stewart is addressing rumors she may quit as fans renew calls for the pro to get a celebrity partner with dance experience.

Britt -- who has yet to reach the finale in seven seasons as a pro on Dancing with the Stars -- said that when she saw The Sun&nbsp;story claiming she wants to quit the show after a string of early eliminations, she thought about what her presence in the ballroom means to young fans.

RELATED LINK: 'DANCING WITH THE STARS' PROS AND THEIR SIGNIFICANT OTHERS: WHO'S DATING OR MARRIED TO WHOM!? (PHOTOS)

In a recent interview with Cosmopolitan, Britt, 37, recalled meeting a young Black girl at the show. The girl told her she was amazing, and her mother later explained how much it meant to her daughter to see Britt perform.

"[The girl] came up to me and said, 'You are amazing, good job,' and I said, 'Thank you so much.' I gave her a high-five," Britt&nbsp;recalled.

"But her mom then followed and said, 'Every time my daughter saw you go on the floor, she just, like, gasped. You being in the ballroom means so much for us and for my little girl.'"

Britt joined the DWTS Troupe in 2016 and became a pro in 2020, making her the first Black woman to hold the role. Her last three seasons ended by Week 3, and this season, she and her celebrity partner, musician Tyler Hanson, were eliminated during "Yacht Rock Night," prompting fans to call for "Justice for Britt" and urge the show to give her a "ringer."

"When I see something like that [discourse], I just think, you know, that girl would be so disappointed in me if I don't accomplish what I want to accomplish," Britt told the magazine. "I know I haven't accomplished all that I could."

Britt was visibly emotional when she and Tyler were eliminated from DWTS' 35th season, but she insisted she was "sad" and "disappointed," not angry.

"It is hard when you are a person who wears your heart on your sleeve. I pride myself on my authenticity, and so you just saw all parts of me in that moment," Britt said.

"But, you know, the show must go on. I allowed myself to process all of my feelings, and I am still showing up every week, and I'm so grateful for the opportunity that I have. All of us pros go through it, and that's why we're able to return each and every season—because we keep going."

Some of Britt's DWTS partnerships have become especially meaningful to her. She married actor Daniel Durant, her celebrity partner on Season 31, in August 2025.

But when it comes to fans asking for a "ringer," Britt said a celebrity's dance background doesn't always predict how far they'll go in the competition.

"It's so interesting, because I don't think that there is a 'ringer' anymore," she said.

"I think sometimes you have someone who comes on the show that you think is going to be absolutely incredible, and they just don't connect with our audience, or vice versa."

Britt explained that she puts more value on a partner who is invested in the experience and willing to connect with her as they work on their dances.

"What I do know is that for me, as a pro, I love to have someone who wants to be there and who can go deep, because the more that I can connect with someone, the better I am at storytelling," Britt noted.

Britt also said she puts pressure on herself to make every dance -- and the overall experience -- special for her partner each season.

"I do put a lot of pressure on myself. I take a lot of responsibility to make each and every single dance incredible and to make sure that the journey for my partner is fulfilling and enjoyable, and I'm still working on separating the result from the process," she shared.

She wished viewers had gotten more time to see Tyler relax into the competition, especially since his work ethic impressed her throughout the season.

"He really dives into whatever project he's working on, and so he did that with Dancing with the Stars," Britt insisted.

"And I felt like right when we got eliminated is when he was starting to allow himself to enjoy it. I just wish that the audience would have been able to see him really relax into the process a little bit more because I truly believe it would have been a beautiful journey for him."

While Dancing with the Stars aired Disney Night on Monday, November 2, the show will return to its normal Tuesday-night schedule beginning on November 10.

People News : 'Bachelor in Paradise' alum Joe Amabile completes New York City Marathon after brain surgery
Bachelor in Paradise - Season 7 Bachelor in Paradise alum Joe Amabile crossed the finish line of the New York City Marathon on Sunday, less than three months after undergoing brain surgery.

The Dancing with the Stars alum, 40, shared a video from the finish line on Instagram, where he held up his medal and reflected on the timing of the race.

"88 days ago I was waking up from brain surgery. Today, finishing the New York marathon," he said before kissing his medal.

Joe also posted photos and videos from the day, including a clip of his wife and Bachelor in Paradise co-star, Serena Pitt, getting emotional as he finished. He called the race his slowest marathon yet, but also his biggest personal achievement.

"WHAT A DAY! My worst time yet and my greatest accomplishment at the same time," he wrote.

Serena, 29, celebrated her husband in the comments, writing that she would never forget the day and that he inspires her and many others. She also shared a video of herself and former The Bachelorette star Kaitlyn Bristowe cheering for Joe along the course.

"I can't even put into words how proud and inspired I feel today! AND how happy I am that it's over!" Serena shared, adding that watching him finish just 88 days after brain surgery was an indescribable feeling. "You are my hero and I love you so much."

Joe previously told Us Weekly that deciding to run the marathon helped him regain a sense of control after being diagnosed with a brain tumor. He underwent surgery in August to remove a blueberry-sized tumor from his left frontal lobe.

He said he had initially wondered whether he was done running marathons, then decided to take on the difficult New York race.

"Recovery hasn't been, as you would imagine, the easiest, but overall, I'm doing good," Joe said.

Two months after undergoing brain surgery, Joe opened up on the "Off the Vine with Kaitlyn Bristowe" podcast about the moment he was told he had a lesion in his brain. The news followed his full-body MRI scan with Prenuvo, with whom he and Serena had a partnership at the time.

"We're on our way to [a friend]'s birthday party, and I either get a text or an email that my Prenuvo results are in and they are trying to schedule a call with me for the morning. And I was like, 'Okay, that's weird,'" Joe recalled.

Serena agreed it was odd because she had also done a Prenuvo scan and hadn't heard anything. Serena also realized that receiving a phone call in 48 hours was an extremely fast turnaround.

"[Prior to the scan], they said, 'It's probably going to be five to seven business days, probably next week [you hear from us].' And it was, like, 9PM at night," Serena explained.

Joe learned the next morning that he had a brain lesion "the size of a small grape [or] a large blueberry." He said he did everything in his power not to throw up.

In September, Serena shared on the couple's own "Not Married To This" podcast that they were "definitely in a state of shock" after learning about Joe's malignant brain tumor in July.

"It was really scary running around to different hospitals and doctors felt incredibly overwhelming and impossible at the time that we first got your diagnosis," Serena said.

Serena said she was able to speak to Joe right before he went under general anesthesia and could "see the panic" in his eyes.

"That's also when it hit me... You were really scared, fairly so. I was really scared," Serena recalled, adding how saying goodbye to Joe in that moment was "really tough" for her.

Prior to the surgery, Joe had been warned there was "a slight chance" he'd wake up and be temporarily paralyzed.

However, that didn't turn out to be the case, and Joe said the surgery "went great" and they ultimately "got it all."

Joe also seemed to recover quickly from the surgery. Despite experiencing some speech issues and light sensitivity, Joe said he was discharged from the hospital on August 6 and stopped taking heavy painkillers six days later.

Shortly after having 23 staples removed from his head in late August, Joe revealed on social media that he ran over three miles and hoped to participate in the 2026 New York City marathon.

Going forward, Joe said he'll have to continue taking an anti-seizure pill every day "to put the bad cells to sleep."

Despite the challenges that are still ahead of Joe, his doctor, Dr. Alexandra Miller -- the chief of neuro-oncology at the Perlmutter Cancer Center -- recently said on Good Morning America that he has a "good prognosis" and "it was a really good thing and very lucky that he was able to find it early."

Joe found fame when he competed on Season 14 of The Bachelorette starring Becca Kufrin in 2018.

After being a Night 1 boot, Joe returned for Season 5 of Bachelor in Paradise, where he fell in love with Kendall Long.

After Joe and Kendall split, Joe looked for love on Season 7 of Bachelor in Paradise in 2021 and found it with Serena.

Joe and Serena quietly tied the knot in a New York City courthouse in 2022 before having a bigger "magical" wedding for family and friends in South Carolina in September 2023.

Joe also previously competed on Season 27 of Dancing with the Stars and placed fifth with pro Jenna Johnson.

People News : 'The Bachelor' alum Melissa Rycroft arrested on suspicion of DWI again two months after guilty plea
The Bachelor 13 The Bachelor alum Melissa Rycroft has been arrested on suspicion of DWI after allegedly hitting an ambulance and leaving the scene in Texas.

Her arrest came two months after she pleaded guilty to a previous DWI charge.

RELATED LINK: 'THE BACHELOR' FRANCHISE COUPLES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER?? (PHOTOS)

According to a Southlake Police Department press release, officers responded at about 5:50PM on Saturday, October 31, to a hit-and-run involving a fire department ambulance. The ambulance was stopped at a stop sign when another vehicle allegedly struck it and left the scene, People reported.

Officers later found the other vehicle's driver and identified her as Melissa, police said. She was charged with DWI, second offense, driving with an invalid license and causing an accident involving more than $200 in vehicle damage. No one was injured.

Melissa, 43, was booked into the Keller Jail on Sunday, November 1. Her bond was set at $9,000, according to jail records obtained by People. TMZ was first to report the arrest.

The new charges follow a separate crash in September 2025.

Southlake police reportedly said Melissa was arrested after her Cadillac Escalade struck a tree.

Witnesses had reported seeing the vehicle being driven erratically before the crash, but no other vehicles were involved and no injuries were reported.

Melissa broke her silence on the arrest and shared on Instagram in October 2025, "Life really sucks right now and I'm struggling, but I'm trying to march forward...but thank you for the sweet words in what seems like a world of negativity."

She pleaded guilty to DWI in August 2026 and received 20 months of probation instead of jail time. She was also ordered to pay $2,000 in fines and court costs, complete 36 hours of community service, take a DWI education course and undergo a substance abuse evaluation.

RELATED LINK: 'THE BACHELORETTE' COUPLES NOW: WHOM DID 'THE BACHELORETTE' STARS AND THEIR BACHELOR PICKS ULTIMATELY END UP WITH?! (PHOTOS)&nbsp;&nbsp;

Her probation conditions included abstaining from alcohol and illegal drugs, using a camera-equipped ignition interlock device in her vehicle and submitting to drug and alcohol testing.

On The Bachelor's 13th season in 2009, Jason Mesnick proposed marriage to the former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader and the pair got engaged.

However, Jason dumped Melissa on The Bachelor: After the Final Rose in favor of his runner-up -- and now wife -- Molly Malaney.

Melissa then quickly entered into a new relationship and reunited with former boyfriend Tye Strickland, whom she had previously dated on and off after meeting three years earlier. The couple subsequently got engaged in June 2009 and wed in December of that year.

After her rejection by Jason, Melissa also accepted an offer to join Dancing with the Stars' Spring 2009 season as a last-minute replacement for injured Access Hollywood co-anchor Nancy O'Dell. She finished the competition in third place behind Gilles Marini and eventual champ Shawn Johnson.

Melissa returned for Dancing with the Stars: All Stars in 2012, and she won the season.

Melissa and Tye share three children together. In addition to Ava, 15, Melissa also gave birth to son Beckett, 12, and son Cayson, 10.

Melissa and Tye briefly starred on a reality show of their own titled Melissa &amp; Tye on CMT in 2012.

Melissa also held down different jobs over the years, such as an entertainment news correspondent and co-host of ABC's former Bachelor Pad spinoff.
