Did Bon Iver's Justin Vernon and Cristin Milioti have a baby? Truth about photo that has fans confused
The image, styled like a family portrait, features Vernon seated with a baby on his lap, while Milioti stands behind him with her hands on his shoulders. It was first seen in the behind-the-scenes book for Bon Iver's 2025 album SABLE, fABLE.
Despite the intimate composition, there has been no confirmation of a relationship or shared parenthood between the two. Milioti, known for How I Met Your Mother and The Penguin, has made several public appearances this year with no signs of pregnancy. Neither she nor Vernon has addressed the image directly.
The image's inclusion in SABLE, fABLE materials appears to align with the album's artistic themes rather than reveal personal developments. Music site Stereogum and discussions on the Bon Iver subreddit suggest the photo may be conceptual, contributing to the emotional storytelling behind the project.
In a recent interview with the New York Times Popcast, Vernon reflected on personal milestones and unmet expectations, stating, 'Boohoo, I thought I'd have kids, a wife, and that kind of love in my life. But I'm healthy, I'm happy. I have love in my life everywhere I look.'
Milioti's previous collaboration with Bon Iver includes a 2021 cover of '715 Creeks,' reflecting her long-standing admiration for the band. Her appearance in the new album's visuals may be a creative continuation of that connection.

Batman Part II begins filming this spring with Robin in script and darker story direction confirmed
The Batman Part II is set to begin filming this spring, with its theatrical release scheduled for October 1, 2027. The news was confirmed in a letter from Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav to shareholders, where he also emphasized the company's long-term plans for the DC Universe. Zaslav noted that DC Studios' 10-year roadmap includes upcoming shows like The Penguin, which ties into The Batman universe. Meanwhile, DC Studios co-head James Gunn is 'already preparing to write the next installment in the Super family,' sparking fresh speculation about future Superman-related projects. While The Batman Part II moves ahead under director Matt Reeves, Gunn is expected to build on the foundation of Superman and the upcoming Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. The connected universe is likely to feature returning stars including David Corenswet, Milly Alcock, Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, and Krypto the Superdog. According to Jeff Sneider a well-placed source familiar with The Batman Part II described the newly completed script as 'worth the wait,' calling it a 'big swing' for Reeves and co-writer Mattson Tomlin. The sequel is expected to maintain the dark, grounded tone of the 2022 film, which grossed $772 million worldwide, while taking bold creative risks. Most notably, the character of Robin is said to appear in the script—an addition sure to capture attention throughout Hollywood. The source added that everyone at DC Studios is enthusiastic about the direction the film is heading now that the script has been turned in. As production ramps up, fans can expect more news about casting and plot developments in the coming months, as Warner Bros. and DC Studios continue to expand their ambitious cinematic universe.

Jimmy Olsen spin-off series rumored to explore DC villains in crime anthology format
A new rumor suggests that DC Studios may be developing a spin-off series centered around Jimmy Olsen, played by Skyler Gisondo in the 2025 Superman film. The report, originating from insider ApocHorseman and shared via DCU Leaks on Discord, claims the series would take the form of a crime anthology. Each episode is said to feature a different villain from the DC Universe, with Olsen serving as the host and central narrator. The series would mirror recent successes like The Penguin, which built on Colin Farrell's portrayal in The Batman and earned critical acclaim and award nominations. This approach reflects DC Studios' growing focus on expanding its cinematic universe through character-driven spinoffs. Under the leadership of James Gunn and Peter Safran, the studio appears committed to diverse storytelling formats and genres. Olsen, a fixture in DC Comics as Clark Kent's loyal friend and photojournalist, has starred in several titles like Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen. Known for his involvement in strange and adventurous plots, he has long been a beloved secondary character. In the 2025 film, Gisondo portrayed Olsen with a mix of classic charm and new elements, including a past relationship with Eve Teschmacher. His performance received praise for strong chemistry with the ensemble cast. According to the report, the rumored series would explore DC's criminal landscape through the lens of Olsen's investigative journalism. This concept aligns with Gunn's stated goal of blending genres and telling fresh stories within the DC Universe. While the series remains unconfirmed by DC Studios, its reported concept fits naturally within the studio's broader efforts to diversify storytelling under its Chapter One: Gods and Monsters slate, which includes Superman, Supergirl, Swamp Thing, and Clayface. If greenlit, the Jimmy Olsen series could offer fans a compelling new angle on the evolving DC narrative universe.

'Severance' leads Emmy nods
Apple TV+'s dark sci-fi office drama Severance on Tuesday led the contenders for the Emmy Awards, television's version of the Oscars, with a whopping 27 nominations. The Penguin, HBO Max's Batman villain spinoff series, came in second with 24. Two satires — HBO Max's skewering of the rich, The White Lotus, and Apple's new Hollywood cringe fest, The Studio — tied for third with 23 nominations each. In the comedy categories, behind The Studio were two past winners: Hacks at 14 and The Bear at 13. The announcement from the Television Academy marks the official start of the race to the 77th Emmy Awards, set for September 14 in Los Angeles. After last year's record-breaking 18 Emmy Awards for Japan-set historical epic Shogun, this year's drama competition looks to be more nuanced. Severance, in which employees of biotech company Lumon have their memories surgically separated between their "innie" work lives and their "outie" personal lives, is clearly the early favorite, with star Adam Scott a nominee for best actor. But he will compete with ER veteran Noah Wyle, who leads The Pitt –—HBO Max's take on the travails of a Pittsburgh emergency room team during one 15-hour shift, effectively filmed in real time. "It's ER on steroids!" Deadline awards expert Pete Hammond told AFP of the show, which earned 13 nods. Also competing for best drama honours are Disney+'s Star Wars offshoot Andor, Netflix's The Diplomat, HBO's apocalyptic video game adaptation The Last of Us, Hulu political thriller Paradise, Apple's spy drama Slow Horses, and The White Lotus. Scott and Wyle have stiff competition for best actor: Oscar winner Gary Oldman in Slow Horses, Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us) and Sterling K Brown (Paradise). Scott's co-star Britt Lower is a nominee for best drama actress, alongside Bella Ramsey (The Last of Us) and Keri Russell (The Diplomat). The White Lotus earned a slew of acting nominations in the supporting categories. The Penguin is competing for best limited series honors against Dying for Sex (FX) and three Netflix efforts: buzzy teen murder saga Adolescence, Black Mirror, and true-crime saga Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. Adolescence breakout star Owen Cooper, who plays a 13-year-old British boy accused of murdering a female classmate, earned a nomination for supporting actor. Monsters, the story of a pair of California brothers in prison for killing their parents after what they say was years of sexual and physical abuse, earned acting nods for Cooper Koch, Javier Bardem and Chloe Sevigny. Comedy newcomer In the comedy categories, new series The Studio, a satire starring Seth Rogen that eviscerates the film industry, emerged as a clear favorite. Rogen also wrote and produced the show, which earned acting nominations for Ike Barinholtz, Kathryn Hahn, Catherine O'Hara and six guest performers. Hacks — starring Jean Smart as a stand-up comedian who locks horns with her dysfunctional millennial assistant — won for best comedy and best actress in September last year, and is nominated again in those categories. The Bear, a dark satire set in the Chicago restaurant world, took the top prize at the previous ceremony (held in January 2024 due to Hollywood strikes), and its star Jeremy Allen White has two trophies for best actor. Beyond those three, other nominees for best comedy series are ABC's mockumentary-style sitcom Abbott Elementary, rom-com Nobody Wants This (Netflix), Hulu's Only Murders in the Building, Apple's Shrinking, and FX's vampire laugh riot What We Do in the Shadows. Harvey Guillen (What We Do in the Shadows) and Brenda Song (Running Point) unveiled the key nominations in a livestreamed ceremony. Voting members of the US-based Television Academy will then have a month to catch up on their viewing before final-round voting begins in mid-August. The September 14 gala will be hosted by comedian Nate Bargatze.
