The Post reached out to Willow's rep for comment.
In 2021, the 'Whip My Hair' singer revealed that she identified as 'polyamorous' on an episode of 'Red Table Talk.'
Polyamory is defined as engaging in multiple romantic relationships with the consent of all partners involved, per Psychology Today.

'With polyamory,' Willow explained to her mother and grandma, Adrienne 'Gammy' Banfield-Norris. 'I feel like the main foundation is the freedom to be able to create a relationship style that works for you and not just [to be] stepping into monogamy because that's what everyone around you says is the right thing to do.
'So I was like, how can I structure the way that I approach relationships with that in mind? Also, doing research into polyamory, the main [reason] …why divorces happen is infidelity,' she added.
Her famous parents married in 1997; however, in 2016, Jada dropped a bomb when she admitted she and Will had been living separate lives for at least seven years.

Despite their different paths, a slapping scandal and an 'entanglement' with a different partner, the actress vowed they would never get divorced.
'I made a promise that there will never be a reason for us to get a divorce – we will work through whatever and I just haven't been able to break that promise,' Jada said in the 2023 interview. 'We live separately.'

Sydney Sweeney wears denim in social media return, but doesn't address American Eagle ad
Sydney Sweeney returned to Instagram this week (in denim), but she didn't address her controversial American Eagle ad. The "Euphoria" star, 27, took to the social media platform Aug. 13 to promote her 2023 film "Americana" which is now airing in select theaters two years after it was first released. Sweeney – who plays an aspiring country singer Penny Jo Poplin in the flick – captioned the post, "A few years ago I filmed this little movie with some friends and now you get to meet penny jo." She then posted a photo carousel Aug. 15 on the film's release day with a behind-the-scenes look at her personal life, posing in blue denim jeans and a white top. American Eagle breaks silence on Sydney Sweeney jeans ad controversy "Duval diaries," she captioned the post, seemingly a nod to Duval County, Florida. Sweeney owns a home in the state. The images included Sweeney with a group of men and platter of alcoholic shots, posing with a separate group of women, and preparing to sing karaoke with a friend. The Hollywood star has remained mum on the ad backlash, avoiding any public statements to the press or her fans about the incident. On Aug. 1, American Eagle spoke out and doubled down on their ad after days of discourse about the ad campaign in an Instagram post. "'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story. We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way," the statement read. "Great jeans look good on everyone." USA TODAY reached out to reps for Sweeney for comment. The marketing campaign courted controversy after social media users argued that the phrase "great genes" paired with a blond-haired, blue-eyed star echoed eugenic ideas — the discredited belief in improving humanity through selective breeding. In one of several videos for the campaign, Sweeney, clad in a denim-on-denim fit, dabbles in some wordplay, telling cameras: "Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color." "My jeans are blue," Sweeney said in the video. The fall 2025 denim campaign ends each promotional video with the tagline, "Sydney Sweeney has great jeans." Contributing: Caché McClay

Selena Gomez Shares Candid Summer Photos With Benny Blanco and More
THE RUNDOWN On Friday, Selena Gomez shared a new carousel of photos on Instagram from her summer, including intimate photos at home and with her fiancé, Benny Blanco. The carousel opened with a stunning picture of Gomez in a pale pink slip with red lace detail around the neckline and hem. She had her hair down and wore a pair of red frame glasses. In the background, Gomez appeared to be watching an episode of How I Met Your Mother. In the photo with Blanco, Gomez is having dinner outside with the music producer and their friends, enjoying a massive plate of oysters and prawns, as well as some cold white wine. The singer included shots promoting various Rare Beauty products, plus scenes from working at home and hanging with pals in the backyard and at events. It seems like it has been a spectacular few months for the Only Murders in the Building star. In the comments, Blanco wrote, 'wait … i'm gonna marry u.' Last weekend, Gomez shared photos with Blanco at the wedding of friends Lil Dicky and Kristin Batalucco. Blanco worked with Dave star Lil Dicky on his show and they have remained close friends. For the event, Gomez wore a sleeveless red halter dress with a mock turtle neckline and a fuzzy black coat. Blanco wore a dark blue suit over a black button-down, open at the neck to reveal his layered gold necklaces. Gomez captioned her carousel of pictures from the ceremony and reception: 'About last nights wedding 💒' She and Blanco have been engaged since December 2024, but on the August 7 episode of the podcast Therapuss with Jake Shane, Gomez shared that the wedding is not happening anytime soon. 'There's so much happening at the moment,' she explained. 'He's working on some projects that he has to wrap up, and we just have things we want to finish and our own personal endeavors before we get into all the nitty-gritty. I just have really never felt so sure about something, and I also don't want to jinx it by saying that.'
