Did Monica And Anthony 'Ant' Wilson Get Married? Couple Hint At Courthouse Wedding
That is, if fans and friends of singer Monica and artist manager Anthony 'Ant' Wilson are correct in believing the couple just quietly tied the knot.
The pair, who went public as a couple in October 2023, did everything but blatantly announce their nuptials, with the 'Angel Of Mine' singer sharing several snaps via Instagram Monday (Aug. 4) of her and her partner looking dapper in black and white formalwear, captioned, 'Two Hearts [black heart emoji] One Love … FOREVER,' tagging Wilson. The BMF executive producer's comment on her page further fueled speculation, as he made mention of a 'courthouse.'
'S/o to everybody at the courthouse that got us in and out without a problem,' he wrote, with Monica adding, 'They were amazing!' See the post and Ant's comment below.
While the words 'wedding' and 'marriage' are never mentioned, fans and friends of the couple are reading between the lines, and offering their congratulations to the happy couple.
'YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sooooooooo happy!!! Two of my fav people!!!!!! Love wins!!!!!!! Love you!!!,' wrote La La Anthony within Monica's comment section, with Pierre 'P' Thomas of Quality Control Music telling the songstress of her beau, 'Mo I ain't never seen him smiling like this. Happy for yall.'
Ms. Tina Knowles offered, 'Congratulations!! you look gorgeous [fire and heart emojis] much complete happiness to you and your husband you so deserve it,' while Miami rapper Trina simply wrote, 'Congratulations, so beautiful!'
The semi-announcement comes ahead of Monica hitting the road with co-headliner Brandy for their highly-anticipated The Boy Is Mine Tour. Mo recently said of the upcoming trek, 'This tour is a celebration of our history, our impact, and the fans who have grown with us. Brandy and I have been on our own unique journeys, and coming back together in this way is a reminder of the power of respect, strength, and real music. We're giving the people what they've been asking for, and doing it with grace, love, and purpose. God's timing perfectly aligned us.'

Gerry Turner secretly dated this ‘Golden Bachelor' contestant after Theresa Nist split
Gerry Turner's journey to love continued after Theresa Nist. In fact, the 73-year-old secretly dated another 'Golden Bachelor' contestant following his divorce from the New Jersey native, 72, in 2024. Turner and Nist first got engaged at the end of 2023 on the show before exchanging vows on a TV special in January 2024. But by April of that year, the exes announced in an interview with 'Good Morning America' that they were divorcing. 10 Theresa Nist with Joan Vassos, Susan Noles and Kathy Swarts. theresa_nist/Instagram 10 The ladies of 'The Golden Bachelor.' joan_vassos/Instagram While on Wednesday's episode of the 'Bachelor Happy Hour' podcast, hosts Susan Noles and Kathy Swarts asked Nist about her ex-husband's dating history. 'Theresa, I think you know, Gerry dated Christina from our show for a while after…' Noles claimed. Christina Kempton was another contestant competing for Turner's love on the series in 2023. 10 Christina Kempton on 'The Golden Bachelor.'

'I'm actually the one who suggested he go out with Christina,' she revealed. 'We're all on the same page. They went out for, like, six months,' Swarts chimed in, which surprised the finance whiz. According to Kempton's bio from the 'Golden Bachelor,' the then-73-year-old is a retired purchasing manager who lived in Sierra Madre, Calif. 10 'The Golden Bachelor' contestant Christina Kempton.

Turner, meanwhile, revealed in April, per TMZ, that he's dating a retired school teacher named Lana, who also lives in Indiana. 10 Christina Kempton poses with her grandson Landon. 'I really am happy for him,' Nist, who's also dating, stated on an episode of 'The Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous Podcast' in June. 'And if he had to find his person by going this circuitous route, then he did, then it was successful. He found someone that really suits him, and that's wonderful. So I think it worked out the way it was supposed to work out.' While on the mic, Nist also addressed rumors that she and Turner split over his cancer diagnosis. 'It was a zero factor, zero. Absolutely. I was just so surprised that he even said that,' she detailed. 'I knew about the cancer a long time ago. And the way Gary presented it to me was that, 'The doctor said that I'm going to die of old age before this cancer gets to me.'' 10 Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist tie the knot. Disney 'He bluffed it off, like it really wasn't that important,' continued Nist. 'And he had no symptoms, and he still doesn't. So we never had a conversation that said, 'Oh my gosh, you're sick. I can't stay with you now. I have to leave.' That never happened.' In December 2024, Turner revealed he's been diagnosed with a blood cell cancer, Waldenström's macroglobulinemia, claiming it played into their split. He also admitted that he and Nist each wanted to live close to their families in different states. 10 Theresa Nist and Gerry Turner pose together. Disney via Getty Images 'When you are hit with that kind of news and the shock wears off after a few days or a few weeks and you regroup and you realize what's important to you, that's where you start to move forward,' Turner told People. 'And I hope that people understand in retrospect now that that had a huge bearing on my decisions and I think probably Theresa's as well.' 'They interviewed him the day before they interviewed me,' Nist explained on the podcast. 'And right before my interview, they contacted me, and they said, 'Hey, we want to talk to you right now, because Gerry just came out and said that his illness was the reason you broke up.' And I go, 'What?' I said, 'No, it wasn't that.' There was zero conversation about that being in it.' Although at the time, she did believe that Turner thought he was telling the truth. 10 Theresa Nist sports a pink mini dress while out in the summer. theresa_nist/Instagram 10 Theresa Nist and Gery Turner pose in bed. goldengerryturner/Instagram 'If that was the reason, it was in his mind only, never discussed as a reason. He said it was a factor that weighed heavily into my decision. And I would imagine Theresa's, too,' Nist confessed. 'He just imagined. But it had nothing to do with it. Nothing. I would have never left my husband over in illness. I stayed with my husband, Billy.' She noted, 'I mean, for years he was sick, and he passed away at home. He was in hospice. I mean, it was really pretty bad. But I would never leave … That's just not me. That wouldn't happen.' In September, Nist made it clear she harbors no ill will toward Turner. 'So Gerry and I have spoken,' she exclusively told The Post. 'We don't speak regularly. I would say I wish him all the best, and I can see that he has so many friends, and I'm so happy for him that he does.'

THE LONG WALK Social Media Reactions Call It Brutal, Soul‑Wrenching, and One of King's Greatest Adaptations — GeekTyrant
The first wave of reactions for The Long Walk has landed, and if the early praise is any indication, we're looking at one of the strongest Stephen King adaptations to date. Directed by Francis Lawrence ( The Hunger Games franchise), this chilling and emotionally loaded dystopian thriller is hitting audiences right in the gut. Based on King's first written novel, The Long Walk tells the story of a cruel annual event where 50 teenage boys are forced to walk non-stop across a dystopian America. If their speed drops below three miles per hour, they're executed on the spot. There's no resting, no turning back, only walking until one is left standing. That survivor wins and will never have to worry about anything again. Critics are calling The Long Walk 'brutal,' 'soul-wrenching,' and 'one of the best Stephen King adaptations' ever made. They've praised the film's intense emotional weight, its shocking moments, and the powerful chemistry between leads Cooper Hoffman and David Jonsson. Many described it as 'visceral,' 'gripping,' and 'unforgettable'. While fans of King know how hit-or-miss his book adaptations can be, Lawrence appears to have cracked the code here. Social media is lighting up with overwhelmingly positive reactions after the first screening. This adaptation has been a long time coming. Over the years, directors like George A. Romero and Frank Darabont tried to bring the story to life but never made it across the finish line. Now, Lawrence, working from a script by JT Mollner, has finally delivered. The cast features Cooper Hoffman, David Jonsson, Garrett Wareing, Tut Nyuot, Charlie Plummer, Ben Wang, Roman Griffin Davis, Jordan Gonzalez, Joshua Odjick, Josh Hamilton, with Judy Greer and Mark Hamill rounding things out. Hamill takes on the chilling role of the Major, and he's credited Mike Flanagan for nudging him into darker territory. According to the cast, they walked close to 300 miles during filming to capture the true physical and emotional toll of the story. The Long Walk opens in theaters on September 12

DJ Khaled is Changing Men's Grooming With This Partnership
DJ Khaled has partnered with Rewind It 10, a beard dye brand launched by Carolyn and Jeff Aronson and Fat Joe, turning personal grooming into a message of confidence and business growth. Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Social media puts every aspect of our appearance under a microscope, and insecurities are more visible than ever. You're not just worried about coworkers noticing a bald spot or a grey patch — everyone can see everything about you online. But as any savvy entrepreneur knows, small problems can spark big opportunities. Rewind It 10, a beard dye brand, is capitalizing on that very tension. By partnering with music and entertainment mogul DJ Khaled, the brand is turning a confidence crisis into a growth strategy — boosting self-assurance for customers while driving its bottom line. All he does is win The best celebrity partnerships happen organically, and this one is no exception. Khaled was already a Rewind It 10 customer before he became a spokesman, using the product regularly. "I use this product every day — especially when I get a haircut," he says. "Back when we were making it, they let me test it out, and they even gave me one to use before my official box was ready." He likens the dye to a favorite cereal or sneaker — something you reach for without thinking twice. But for Khaled, the product itself is only part of the draw. What really attracted him to Rewind It 10 was the team behind it. The brand was launched in October 2023 by beauty mogul Carolyn Aronson, entrepreneur Jeff Aronson and Khaled's fellow music mogul Fat Joe. "Fat Joe is my brother," Khaled says. "He's supported me since day one, so when he brought me the chance to help sell a product I already love, it was a no-brainer." Khaled also has deep respect for the Aronsons and the empire they've built in hair care, calling Carolyn "the queen." Carolyn, a Puerto Rican-born entrepreneur, turned her experience as a hairstylist and salon owner into a global brand. She founded It's a 10 Haircare in 2005, best known for its Miracle Leave-In product, and has grown it into a $500 million-a-year powerhouse. Her husband, Jeff, serves as CEO and president, bringing leadership experience from roles including Titan Fighting Championships and Arco Property Management. He joined It's a 10 in 2017, helping scale the brand alongside Carolyn's vision. "What they've built is a winning team," the All I Do is Win rapper says. "And I believe winners should work with winners, and create more winners." So far, Khaled's beard dye has lived up to the standard he set with that 2010 hit, becoming the best-seller in Rewind's celebrity ambassador line, which also includes Travis Kelce. 'Major Key' alert Khaled has built an identity on catchphrases, one of the many reasons the Rewind team wanted to work with him. From "We the Best" to "Another One", the man figured out long ago how to apply classic marketing techniques of short, memorable slogans to the social media age. For his "Real Black" beard dye, Khaled landed on "Why fight time when you can rewind time." "When I come up with something like that, it's not a slogan — it's from my heart and soul," Khaled says. "Rewind just enhances the glow God gave us. Like a fresh haircut — do the full works, let the barber do his thing. Music, fashion, lifestyle — it's all art, and barbers are artists too." But key to Khaled's success isn't just his knack for catchy slogans — it's his immeasurable, infectious self-confidence. And that's precisely what Rewind is trying to sell. "Confidence is beautiful," Khaled says. "It's a divine power that tells you, 'Yo, you can do this,' and reminds you who you are. Once you build that confidence, it's only going to help you in everything you want to accomplish." For Khaled — and countless others — looking good is a crucial part of that confidence. But it's not just about turning heads. It's about maintaining a level of excellence and, as he puts it, "upkeeping the blessings God gave us." "We're talking about beards and looks, but I see it deeper than that," he says. "God made us beautiful either way — haircut or no haircut — but it's like having a beautiful house and not trimming the grass, watering the plants, or taking care of the mango tree. You've got to upkeep it. Same with the beard and the hair — that's the best way to break it down."
