Racy new sighting of newly-divorced celebrity couple
Well, that's one way to get over your ex.
US reality star Alexia Echevarria and her newly-ex-husband Todd Nepola have been spotted on a beach in Miami, Florida, looking a whole lot closer than their recent divorce news would suggest.
Real Housewives of Miami star Alexia, 57, and her 52-year-old real estate broker husband were seen kissing and cuddling on the beach, just a month after confirming that they'd finalised their divorce.
But here's where things get confusing: In a statement issued to People last month, Alexia confirmed that while their marriage was over, their relationship was not.
'After thoughtful reflection, Todd and I have reached an amicable divorce settlement,' she told the outlet.
'While our marriage has legally ended, our relationship has not. We continue to love and support each other as we navigate this next chapter,' she added.
'We appreciate the understanding, love, and support from our family, friends, and fans.'
The pair were married in December 2021 and filed for divorce in April last year – but in November, Alexia told fans at Bravo Fan Fest that they were still 'trying to figure things out.'
'We're still working on getting better and getting stronger and figuring it out because we really do love each other a lot,' she said.
The pair aren't the only celeb couple to rekindle their romance after filing for divorce.
It was recently revealed that Grey's Anatomy star Eric Dane and his wife, actress Rebecca Gayheart, had quietly called off their divorce, some seven years after they'd filed.
Gayheart had initially filed for divorce in 2018, citing irreconcilable differences, but the New York Post reported last month that both stars had signed a motion to dismiss the divorce petition.
They'd earlier sparked rumours of a reconciliation when they were spotted holding hands in public in 2023.
News that they'd cancelled their divorce came as Dane publicly revealed he's been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, and assured fans he had his 'loving family' by his side as he deals with the diagnosis.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's relationship is on the rocks, source says
There are rumours bubbling that Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's relationship is on rocky ground. 'It's over,' one source told Page Six. 'They are waiting till her tour is over before they split.' Perry is currently in Australia on her Lifetimes tour, which began on April 23 and runs through December 7. The pair first met in 2016 at a Golden Globes after-party. They got engaged on Valentine's Day in 2019, and welcomed daughter, Daisy Dove, in August of 2020. Sources have told People that stress over the poor reception of her new album, 143, has caused 'tension' in the stars' relationship. 'Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album,' a source told the pub. 'It made her very stressed. Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension.' Another source told the magazine, 'She was also disappointed in some of the tour reviews. It's put stress on their relationship.' Spies tell Page Six that Bloom was spending time in Miami, Florida, last month. The couple previously split for a year in 2017. Perry addressed the past break on Call her Daddy, in 2024, saying, 'We weren't really in it from day one. He was because he had just done a huge time of celibacy, and he had set intentions. I was fresh out of a relationship, and I was like, I can't do this anymore. I need to swim in a different pond, but I had to do a lot real work.' That same month, the pop star told People, 'Orlando and I, when we argue, we argue kinda hot and fast and then cool really quickly. It's like, 'La la la la la, I love you. Alright, let's move on.'' 'We are fire, fire, fire, and so [Daisy] sees all of that,' she continued. 'He's a real sage. We both have parts of ourselves. There's two parts of us, our highest good, and then our carnal, material self. Ego. When the ego is running the show, then it's like, 'Whoa.' But when that's in check, then we're both something else.'' The couple have previously said that they've turned to couple's therapy. In 2023 the Pirates of the Caribbean actor opened up about their challenges in Flaunt magazine, saying: 'We're in two very different pools [for their work]. Her pool is not a pool that I necessarily understand, and I think my pool is not a pool that she necessarily understands.' He added: 'Sometimes things are really, really, really, challenging. I won't lie. We definitely battle with our emotions and creativity.' 'I think we're both aware of how blessed we are to have uniquely connected in the way that we did at the time that we did. And there's definitely never a dull moment,' he continued. Bloom and their daughter attended the Dark Horse singer's recent 11-minute trip to the edge of space on the all-female Blue Origins flight where she kissed the ground upon landing. Page Six have reached out to the couple's rep.

Riley Keough praises Stevie Nicks' 'great idea' for Daisy Jones and the Six follow-up
Riley Keough thinks Stevie Nicks has had a "great idea" for a second season of Daisy Jones and the Six. The 36-year-old actress played the titular singer in the TV adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid's novel of the same name - which was inspired by Stevie's band Fleetwood Mac and their Rumours album - and she suggested she's keen to reprise the role again after the Edge of 17 hitmaker previously admitted she'd pitched a suggestion for another storyline. Riley told People magazine: "I think that anything Stevie Nicks comes up with is a great idea, and she's wonderful. I love her so much. "She's the sweetest. She's amazing." Stevie, 77, revealed last October that she had pitched a second season idea to Riley and executive producer Reese Witherspoon, and while they "loved" her suggestion, they had been too busy to act on it. She told Rolling Stone magazine: "I wish that it could go into what if … had Billy come back after Billy's wife died and knocked on her door, and they decided to make that last record that I always hoped that Lindsey [Buckingham] and I would make. That would make a fantastic second season. "I talked to Reese and Riley about it, and they loved the idea, but everybody's so busy. Riley's on her way to becoming a big movie star. But maybe one of these days, they'll do it. "Until I saw 'Daisy Jones and The Six', I would have never thought it was even possible to emulate our life." Stevie had expected to "hate" the programme and originally didn't plan to watch it. She said: "I didn't even want to see it, because I thought I was going to hate it so much. I had Covid when I saw it. I was in my condo in Los Angeles, and I can remember saying, 'Am I just watching my life go by?' " Stevie felt the drama was very well cast and she was sad her bandmate Christine McVie - who died in November 2022 aged 79 - passed away before she got chance to see it for herself. She said: "Riley doesn't look like me. She's much snappier than me. I couldn't be as snappy as her in Fleetwood Mac. Christine and I couldn't do that, because we were the peacemakers. "Riley could be totally s***** and a smart a** and totally arrogant, because she wasn't even in the band, and they weren't even nice to her. So that was the biggest difference. "But as far as her character went, it was very similar to me. And I instantly wanted to call her and meet her, and I did. "I thought Suki [Waterhouse] was a great Christine — in her Englishness and just the way that she dressed. And you know what I was really sad about? That Christine didn't get to see that, because she would've been so tickled by her. "And I thought Billy [Sam Claflin] was spectacular. I thought he captured so much of Lindsey that it was creepy. He had the curls and that dark handsomeness that Lindsey had. "One of my favourites was Camila [Morrone]. I thought that Camila and Daisy were a really good combination of me, the two of them put them together."

Julia Fox 'loves' women being honest about cosmetic procedures
Julia Fox wants women to keep being "honest" about their cosmetic procedures. The 35-year-old star has been open about the surgeries she's had in the past, and she argued people are "setting an unrealistic bar" by not speaking candidly about going under the knife. She told PEOPLE magazine: "I love it. I think we should be honest. "Women set the bar for each other and I feel like if you're setting an unrealistic bar [if you're not honest]. "That's really great for you, but what about all the girls that are so impressionable and feeling like 'Wait, why don't I look like that and what's wrong with me?' " The 'Uncut Gems' actress insisted that being silent about undergoing cosmetic procedures can set an unrealistic beauty standard. She said: "It's like, girl, none of us look like this, you know what I mean? "Like, we all look really different without the surgery and without the fillers and without the makeup and all the things we do and the face tapes and the wigs and the tanning creams. "The list goes on. On and on and on." Julia also pointed out that it's "really important" for girls to know "there's nothing wrong" with them. She added: "You're perfect the way you are and this is all smoke and mirrors, sweetie, you know … it's such a beautiful message." In the past, Julia has opened up about undergoing liposuction and Botox, and while she wasn't ruling out more procedures in the future, she wanted to embrace her natural body. She told Elle magazine in February 2023: "I'm, like, saggy—like, things are not sitting the way they used to. But it's like, I am not gonna do a damn thing about it." Back in 2022, she hit out at anti-aging products for "lying" to people about stalling the natural effect of time. She said on TikTok: "Getting old is f****** hot. It is sexy. "It is probably the sexiest time in life actually because being pretty and hot in your twenties is the f****** trenches and I'm not going back there."
