Who Is Aimee Lou Wood's Boyfriend Adam Long?
Aimee Lou Wood finally put to bed all the endless rumors about her and Walton Goggins being in a feud, and now the internet gets to obsess over something else: what looks to be a new relationship between her and Adam Long. While Aimee is pretty private about her personal life (she dated her Sex Education costar Connor Swindells for years and was completely low-key about it), she and Adam were spotted kissing in London. The Daily Mail has pics if you're looking for proof, and honestly they're super sweet. And I mean, sure, these two could still be super casual. Or this could be step #1 of them going on to have a serious relationship. Either way, clearly the time has come to get to know Adam—unless you're a Happy Valley fan like me, in which case you are more than acquainted, ahem. Aimee and Adam are starring in the BBC's upcoming Film Club together, where they play a couple. Per BBC's synopsis: Adam is probably best known as playing convict Lewis Whippey in the acclaimed British detective series, Happy Valley. The 34-year-old has also starred in Spike Island, Bancroft, Dunkirk, The Thirteenth Tale, Vera (another British mystery show), The Kill Team, Masters of the Air, Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue, and Day of the Jackal. Kay, mostly just sharing this as an excuse to note that Aimee commented an enthusiastic "YOU DID IT!" on this photo: Yes, Adam has Instagram, but it's mostly low key and doesn't give much away about his personal life: Meanwhile, his interviews are few and far between. But if you want to get a sense of his personality / vibe / cute accent, there's this old interview from Tribeca Film Festival circa 2019. According to IMDb, aside from Film Club, Adam is starring in a movie called The Trial about three brothers who "face a ruthless gangland trial after their heist goes disastrously wrong." Looking forward to seeing him in it! But mostly to analyzing his vibes with Aimee Lou Wood in Film Club.

Former 'Bachelor' star Vanessa Grimaldi says she had a second miscarriage: 'My heart aches for the baby I never got to meet'
Vanessa Grimaldi is opening up about her second miscarriage. On Monday, the former 'Bachelor' star took to social media to share her feelings and 'grief' while navigating her second pregnancy loss. The 37-year-old Montréal native shared a photo of herself to Instagram, drinking a Tim Hortons Iced Cappuccino along with her thoughts on the 'complicated' grief she's experiencing. 'This is my second miscarriage. Saying that out loud still feels surreal. Especially finding out during my ultrasound. Again,' she said. 'It adds another layer to the grief, one that's heavier, more complicated and harder to put into words.' Grimaldi said she's been finding comfort in her 2-year-old son Winston's bedroom. The former reality star said she was so 'grateful' for her son, who she shares with husband Josh Wolfe. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vanessa Grimaldi (@vanessagrimaldi30) 'And at the same time, my heart aches for the baby I never got to meet,' she said. 'I keep thinking about Winston as a newborn. All the firsts, the sleepy snuggles, the tiny milestones. I imagined getting to live through those moments again.' Grimaldi said her 'mind feels foggy' and that she's been doing her best to keep busy instead of 'sitting too long' with her grief. 'Grief is strange,' she added. 'It sneaks in, even in the middle of gratitude.' She added that her husband brought her an iced cappuccino, something she had avoided since she found out she was pregnant. 'It feels simple, but also like the first small step back to myself.' She concluded her post with a message of 'love and comfort' to other women experiencing loss. 'And maybe the next time you're sipping an iced cappuccino you'll be reminded that you're not alone in this. I see you, I'm grieving with you.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vanessa Grimaldi (@vanessagrimaldi30) In the caption of the post, Grimaldi shared the statistic that 1 in 4 known pregnancies end in miscarriage. That number could be higher, since many women can miscarry before they know they're pregnant. Eighty per cent of miscarriages occur within the first trimester (before the 12th week of pregnancy), however, the term applies to pregnancy loss before the 20th week. Pregnancy loss after the 20th week - the halfway point of a full gestation- is considered a stillbirth. Grimaldi's post earned an outpouring of love from followers, many of whom have also dealt with pregnancy loss. "Such a beautiful post. I have two angel babies. My heart is with anyone who shares the same loss and grief. God Bless," one follower wrote. "[I] so needed this. I too am going through a miscarriage," another said. "No one talks about this and the heartache and tribulations of grief! Hang in there... focus on you and Winston." "I had one myself in January and the pain is still so profound," someone else said. "Do all your crying, you're entitled but get right back up and carry on for your family, especially your son. I had my miscarriage on the day of my daughter's second bday. When I look back on her pics, my smile is there but my eyes are not." In 2024, Grimaldi shared that she had experienced a miscarriage via social media. 'I knew I wanted to help other women feel less alone in their miscarriage journey,' she wrote. 'I know the shock, the pain, the confusion, the feeling of hopelessness and uncomfortable 'When are you having another?' Conversations all too well.'

Passenger's life changed forever after chance encounter on flight: ‘Meet-cute fantasy'
It wasn't exactly love at first flight — but somewhere between the airplane aisle and window seat, a little turbulence turned into a whole lot of sparks. When Los Angeles native Megan Meza noticed a 'cute' guy approach her row on an April 2022 flight to London, she immediately began fantasizing about an airplane romance between her and the handsome stranger. Little did she know, the man would be Brit Freddie Gershinson, who would eventually become her husband-to-be. Advertisement Los Angeles native Megan Meza noticed a 'cute' guy approach her row on an April 2022 flight. meggymeza/tiktok 'I immediately thought he was cute. I saw him pause near our row, and I thought, 'There is no way he is going to sit next to me',' she told the Daily Mail. 'So when he put his backpack on the seat, I couldn't believe it. It's like every single girl's dream to have the cute guy sit next to you in some meet-cute fantasy. Advertisement 'And here it was suddenly happening. I actually texted my mom (who was sitting in a different row) along with my sister and friends, being like, 'CUTE GUY IN MY ROW. SOS.'' Initially, Meza was too nervous to chat up the six-foot-two stranger, but when he dropped his AirPods and couldn't find them, she piped in with advice to look at the row behind. While she 'had no other expectations,' the pair spoke for six hours during the flight, speaking over the woman sitting between them in the middle seat. 'At this point, I was like, okay, this is fun and flirty. Like he had every opportunity to go back to his music, but we kept chatting,' she dished. 'I [couldn't believe I was] having a connection with a total stranger,' she said, adding they stopped chatting when the cabin lights dimmed at night. Advertisement The couple got engaged in 2024. Megan Meza/Instagram But Gershinson was determined to keep the conversation going. He passed over his phone, asking, 'Have you got a boyfriend?' in the Notes app. Meza quickly responded 'No' with a smiley face. Advertisement After the flight landed, the pair exchanged phone numbers and the Brit said he returned to London 'with a smile on his face' because of her.' 'At that point I was like — I have never met a man who is so confident and upfront with his emotions and it sucks that I will probably never see him again,' Meza said. 'We continued to text immediately after the flight. About three days after we met, he called me and said he hadn't felt a connection like this before, and wanted to see if I would come stay with him in London [after my family vacation].' Unable to adjust her return date, Meza returned to the U.S. but told Gershinson that if they were still texting in the summer, she'd visit him. Three months later, after they called each other 'every day' on the phone, she returned to London. 'On the third day [of the trip], he took me to meet his parents for tea, then surprised me with an early birthday dinner, and then we met his friends for drinks,' Meza revealed. 'It was that night I thought, I can't go back home and that be the end of it. Everything was too natural – his family, his friends, our connection. 'He was so intentional, kind, and so confident in who he was. So that night, we had a long talk about all of it, and we made it official. His words were, 'I like you too much to not try to make this work.' So we did.' Three years after their meet-cute, the happy couple is getting married. Meza urged singles to keep an open mind because you'll never know when you'll meet your happily ever after. Advertisement 'I saw a man who I thought was very cute, and I used that as an opportunity to have this 'yes' moment on a plane where it's like, I'm never going to see him again. What do I have to lose?' she told PEOPLE. 'Dating is a drag and with Freddie, I never felt like we were playing games. If I had known this was waiting for me, I wouldn't have wasted another day crying over boys who didn't deserve the tears,' Meza added. 'So don't lose hope. The right person is out there and it would have sucked to settle and never have found this.'
