Adria Arjona shares sweet birthday tribute to Jason Momoa as his series Chief of War Debuts
"Happy birthday mi amor," Arjona wrote. "There's nothing I love more than doing life by your side. So here's to one more year of being wild and free and to forever growing young. Love you so much babii." The Hit Man star also praised Momoa's latest project, the Apple TV+ historical drama Chief of War, which premiered the same day. "Excited for the world to watch what you've poured your heart and soul into for the past years," she added.
Fans responded warmly to the post, calling the couple 'beautiful' and praising their chemistry. Momoa himself commented, 'Te amo mi amor. Luckiest man alive.'
The couple made their relationship public in May 2024 when Momoa shared photos of them together during a trip to Japan. Since then, they've frequently appeared in affectionate posts on social media.
Chief of War, a nine-part series starring and co-created by Momoa, focuses on true events in Polynesian history and features a predominantly Polynesian cast. The first two episodes are now streaming, with new episodes released weekly.
Adding to the buzz, Momoa recently shaved his iconic beard for the first time in over six years, ahead of filming Dune: Part Three. In a video shared online, he dedicated the transformation to director Denis Villeneuve.
Momoa was previously married to actress Lisa Bonet, with whom he shares two children. Bonet filed for divorce in early 2024, officially ending their marriage.

Taron Egerton explains why he turned down Wolverine role in Marvel's future X-Men plans
Taron Egerton has addressed long-standing fan speculation linking him to Marvel's Wolverine role, confirming he has no plans to join the MCU as the X-Men character. Speaking during promotion for his Apple TV+ series Smoke, Egerton shared why he has chosen to pass on the opportunity. Appearing on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Egerton acknowledged the ongoing support from fans, calling it 'lovely,' but distanced himself from the idea of taking over the role made iconic by Hugh Jackman. 'There was a moment… where I thought, 'That'd be cool,'' he said. However, he explained that Jackman's return in Deadpool & Wolverine felt appropriate and added, 'Quite right too.' When asked if he would reconsider if offered the role now, Egerton replied, 'They are some big shoes to fill… I don't know that I want that much attention on me, frankly.' He emphasised his preference for his current level of fame, stating, 'I'm very comfortable with the level it's at now, where I get asked for a selfie maybe a couple of times a day.' In a separate interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Egerton said he finds the fan support flattering but added, 'No one is ever going to accept anyone in that role other than Hugh Jackman.' With Marvel reportedly planning a new X-Men lineup following Secret Wars, fans continue to speculate who will take on key roles.

Miguel Harichi ends friendship with Louis Russell over Love Island drama
Miguel Harichi, best known for his time on Love Island USA, has spoken publicly for the first time about his apparent fallout with fellow cast member Louis Russell, amid growing speculation involving his girlfriend, Leah Kateb. In a detailed Instagram post shared Saturday, Harichi expressed disappointment with individuals he once considered friends, criticizing them for fueling online negativity about his relationship. Without naming anyone directly, he called out those allowing social media to drag Leah's name into drama and made it clear that both he and Leah want no part in it. The speculation intensified after Leah unfollowed Louis on social media earlier this week. Many fans linked the move to Louis's rumored relationship with Huda Mustafa, who was recently spotted with him at the Weapons movie premiere. However, Harichi clarified that the unfollow had nothing to do with any alleged romance. The speculation was fueled even more after photos from the event went public, but Miguel emphasized that whatever Louis and Huda may have going on, he has no interest in being involved. 'Leave Leah out of it,' he wrote, underscoring his desire to keep their relationship separate from ongoing online narratives. Ultimately, Harichi confirmed that he is cutting ties with Louis Russell and reaffirmed his loyalty to Leah. He concluded by saying that reality TV drama like this belongs online, not in their personal lives. Harichi's statement highlights how post-show dynamics between Love Island USA cast members continue to unfold under the watchful eye of fans—and how navigating real-life relationships remains a challenge long after the cameras stop rolling.
