Heather Rae El Moussa Addresses Friendship With Christina Haack
On July 9, the Selling Sunset alum posted a sweet tribute for Christina's birthday on her Instagram Stories and shut critics of their friendship down in the process.
'It's crazy how far we've come & most will never understand how we are friends,' Heather wrote. 'I'm grateful for our relationship & our ability to rise above the noise! Cheers to you & can't wait to celebrate you! Xo.'
While things are all good between the trio now, they weren't always on the best of terms. Christina—who was married to Tarek until 2018 and shares two children with him—got into a heated argument with Heather during a soccer game in 2022.
At the time, a source told E! News, 'Heather and Christina haven't been getting along lately and there's been overall tension between both couples. Christina feels Heather oversteps her boundaries when she parents her children and Heather doesn't feel like she gets enough respect from Christina.'
They've worked out their differences in favor of a smooth co-parenting experience since then. In January 2025, Christina told E! News, 'We've had our ups and downs, but mostly we've been great co-parents throughout everything. All three of us love these kids more than anything, so we've always made them a priority.'
These days, the Flip-Off co-stars are so close that they even trade clothes. Back in February, Christina wore one of Heather's stunning gowns as she hard-launched her relationship with Christopher Larocca on her Instagram Stories. 'Thanks for lending me the gorgeous dress @theheatherraeelmoussa,' Christina captioned her post.
Heather originally wore the embellished red dress for holiday portraits with Tarek, which she shared on social media in December 2024.
Love that they flipped their relationship dynamic into something special!

New Reports On Justin And Hailey Bieber's Relationship
Justin and Hailey Bieber are reportedly having the best weekend after the release of his seventh studio album. On July 11, Justin released a surprise album, Swag, featuring guests like Gunna, Sexyy Red, Lil B, Cash Cobain, and more. Dijon and Eddie Benjamin were also featured on the album and worked alongside Justin on the production. It's been more than four years since his sixth album, Justice, and the EP Freedom, and it was well worth the wait because Swag is an album reportedly made on his terms. It's an experimental blend of pop and R&B that's personal, raw, and dare I say — swaggie. According to a source obtained by People, the 31-year-old Grammy winner and his wife, the founder of Rhode, are in celebration mode in honor of the album's creation — a project that rose from the ashes of a tumultuous last few months of rumors and speculation. "Hailey was by Justin's side for the whole creation of the album," the source told the publication. "Everyone knows Justin as a star and a performer. They now get to know the artist that Hailey has known all these years." Justin apparently had a new creative process where he got to "run his own show" by selecting his producers and musicians, and only used "stripped-down" live vocals. "Hailey supported Justin to follow his artistic instincts," the source adds. "She helped him to trust himself and do what Justin knew he wanted to do as an artist." People reported that the source felt like Justin could create the album he wanted after significantly changing his career, regaining control of his creative direction, and parting with his former manager, Scooter Braun. On July 12, Rolling Stone reported that Justin had no regrets parting ways with his former manager. Justin and Scooter had worked together for over 15 years before ending their business relationship in 2023. "Breaking away from Scooter Braun and his team has been something that Justin has wanted for so long, and now that he's fully free, he could finally share this album with his fans and with the world," a source told the publication. "Having full creative freedom, sadly, is something new for him as an artist," the source continued. "Not having to stress about creating the perfect single, or perfect album, allowed for him to create the best body of music he's ever made." While Justin's busy celebrating his release alongside Hailey and their son Jack Blues, Scooter supported Swag in a post on his Instagram Stories. "Been having a beautiful start to the weekend and been getting a lot of texts about how I feel about Justin's new album," Scooter wrote. "So I will just leave this here.. This is without a doubt, the most authentically Justin Bieber album to date. It's beautiful, raw, and truly him. And that matters." Scooter continued, "I've had the privilege of witnessing his growth for almost two decades. Along every journey, there comes a time when an artist fully steps into their own — and that's what he's done here. He's poured his soul into this project, and you can feel it in every single run.""The way he chose to release it is just as intentional as the music itself — and I'm happy to see him do it this way. I have played no roll in this one, but as someone who's always believed in him, I'm incredibly proud and impressed and genuinely enjoying the music," he said. On July 10, another source told People that Swag was supposed to be a "darker, more vulnerable and less polished" album compared to his previous work. But, dark and vulnerable doesn't mean it's "depressing." I've already listened to the album five times with no skips. Justin took back control of his narrative from all the gossip, speculation, haters, and being constantly stalked by paparazzi. Congratulations, Justin! The album is 🔥. We reached out to Justin and Hailey's team for further comment, and we'll let you know if we hear back.

Johnny Gaudreau's sister reveals ‘anxiety' over getting married 11 months after brothers were killed on eve of wedding
Katie Gaudreau, the sister of Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau, married Devin Joyce on Friday, 11 months after their wedding was originally canceled following the death of her two brothers, who were struck and killed by an alleged drunk driver while biking the night before the ceremony. In an interview with People, Katie Gaudreau opened up about the 'anxiety' she dealt with while planning the wedding, changing the venue from its original location because 'two essential pieces of our day' — the Gaudreau brothers were going to be Joyce's groomsmen — wouldn't be there and settling on a place that'd allow people to stay overnight. 'I wanted a space where we could all be together the night before — somewhere we could sleep over, wake up together, and just be, without having to leave or be separated,' Gaudreau told the outlet. 'I was having a lot of anxiety about everyone leaving the venue after the reception and something happening, so I wanted a space where we would all be together.' 5 Katie Gaudreau (c.) with brothers Johnny (r.) and Matthew (l.) at Matthew's wedding.

Since then, tributes have poured in from around the hockey community, such as with the NHL honoring Johnny Gaudreau during the Stadium Series game — hosted by Columbus — last season and Team USA giving him a locker in the team's dressing room during the 4 Nations Face-Off. And Katie Gaudreau wed her childhood sweetheart Friday with a 200-person ceremony at St. Mary's Church in Gloucester City, N.J., followed by the reception at The Bellevue Hotel. 5 L-R Devin Joyce, Johnny Gaudreau, wife Meredith Gaudreau, and Katie Gaudreau.

'Back then, we were preparing with so much love and excitement. I remember the way John and Matty lit up — how genuinely happy they were to celebrate Devin and me. Their joy was radiant, effortless and contagious.' Gaudreau told the outlet that her brothers were honored in small ways throughout the ceremony, including with her father Guy Gaudreau and Joyce donning custom suits with pictures of the brothers lining the inside. Her bouquet also featured 21 standard roses and 13 spray rose blooms in a nod to the numbers that Matthew and Johnny wore, respectively, while playing hockey. 'Their love didn't leave,' she said, acknowledging that she felt and honored 'both the sorrow of their absence and the beauty of their presence' at her wedding.
