Here's the latest celebrity news today! From Renée Zellweger's inspiring Hollywood hiatus to Jessica Simpson's heartfelt separation and Andrew Rannells' journey into stepfatherhood, discover the uplifting and personal stories of your favorite stars.
Renée Zellweger Opens Up About Her Hollywood Hiatus
Renée Zellweger, the queen of charm and relatability, has always had a way of capturing our hearts on the big screen. But between 2010 and 2016, she did something many Hollywood stars rarely do—she vanished! Yes, the Oscar-winning actress decided to take a step back from the glitz and glamour, leaving us all wondering, Where in the world is Renée?
Now, at 55 and thriving, Zellweger is giving us the inside scoop on why she took that well-deserved break. During a fun and heartfelt British Vogue chat with her Bridget Jones's Diary co-star Hugh Grant, she spilled the tea. Renée admitted she was growing tired of her career’s hamster wheel—playing similar roles and losing herself in the process. So, like the boss she is, she hit pause.
And what did she do with all that time? A LOT. While we were binge-watching reruns of Bridget Jones, Renée was out there rescuing dogs, studying international law (casual), writing music, building a house, and even starting her own production company. Talk about a glow-up! She also spent precious time with family, rediscovering the joys of everyday life far from the spotlight.
But let’s not forget, Renée is Renée. It wasn’t all work and no play. She used the hiatus to reflect, recharge, and, frankly, live her best life. “Sometimes you need to step away to see who you really are,” she said. (Preach, girl!)
Fast forward to 2025, and Renée is back in full swing, reprising her iconic role as Bridget in the upcoming Bridget Jones: Mad About You. This time, the story explores how Bridget is navigating the complexities of modern womanhood—and let’s be real, if anyone can make messy, chaotic life moments relatable and laugh-out-loud funny, it’s Renée.
Now living in sunny San Diego with boyfriend Ant Anstead, whom she met in 2021, Renée seems happier and more grounded than ever. Whether she’s hiking with her dogs, enjoying the ocean breeze, or cooking up something fabulous (yes, she’s a foodie), it’s clear she’s loving life.
Renée’s comeback is proof that taking a break isn’t giving up—it’s leveling up. And if her journey teaches us anything, it’s that sometimes the best way to move forward is to pause, reflect, and make room for what truly matters.
Welcome back, Renée. We missed you!
Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson Part Ways After a Decade of Marriage
Jessica Simpson has always been known for her larger-than-life personality and heartfelt honesty. That’s why her announcement about separating from her husband, Eric Johnson, after ten years of marriage was both surprising and deeply personal.
In a statement filled with grace and sincerity, Jessica shared that she and Eric have been living separately and navigating a challenging chapter in their lives. “Eric and I are focused on our family,” she said, emphasizing that their children—Maxwell, Ace, and Birdie—remain their top priority.
The couple’s love story began in 2010, and they quickly became one of Hollywood’s most adored pairs. From their dreamy wedding in 2014 to their sweet family moments shared on social media, Jessica and Eric have given us a glimpse into their life filled with love, laughter, and parenting adventures.
While their separation is undeniably tough, Jessica’s resilience shines through. She’s no stranger to navigating life’s ups and downs with a positive outlook, and this time is no different. Fans have already started flooding her social media with messages of support, praising her strength and dedication to her kids.
Jessica’s journey reminds us that relationships evolve, and sometimes parting ways is the best way to move forward. For now, she’s focusing on her family, her booming business empire, and her continued growth as a woman and mother.
Here’s to Jessica embracing the next chapter with the grace and style she’s known for. We’re rooting for you, Jess!
Andrew Rannells Steps Into Fatherhood Like a Pro
Andrew Rannells, the Broadway and TV star with a megawatt smile, has taken on a role he never expected—stepdad! And it’s safe to say he’s absolutely nailing it.
The Book of Mormon alum met his boyfriend, actor Tuc Watkins, in 2019, and along with Tuc came two adorable kids who’ve completely changed Andrew’s life. “Parenthood wasn’t really on my radar,” Andrew admitted recently. But life has a funny way of surprising us, doesn’t it?
Now, Andrew’s days are filled with school drop-offs, pancake breakfasts, and plenty of laughs. He’s not just a stepdad; he’s Super Stepdad! Whether he’s helping with homework or introducing the kids to Broadway classics (start ’em young!), Andrew has fully embraced his new role with enthusiasm and love.
It’s heartwarming to see how Andrew has blended into Tuc’s family, proving that love, in all its forms, is what makes a house a home. And who knows? Maybe there’s a musical about modern family life in Andrew’s future.
For now, we’re just thrilled to see him thriving—on stage, on screen, and at the breakfast table. Bravo, Andrew!
