Yes, that was tennis pro (and Drake's ex) Serena Williams in Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show
Not only did Lamar come through on his many teases to perform his Drake diss track "Not Like Us" during his big performance, but he even brought out tennis superstar and Drake's ex Serena Williams to dance on stage for the moment.
Williams appeared briefly but, oh, so memorably. She executed a Crip Walk, which was something she performed on the tennis court in a meme-making moment. She also posted behind-the-scenes video and photos of herself getting ready backstage, as well as de-costuming afterward.
"Let's go Super Bowl halftime??! I died a little!" Williams wrote on Instagram.
In a separate video shared to social media, she acknowledged backstage after the halftime show, "Man, I did not Crip Walk like that in Wimbledon. Ooo! I would've been fine!"
Williams garnered attention elsewhere during the Super Bowl when she took to Twitter/X to show support for Taylor Swift, who got booed by rowdy fans at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans when she appeared on the jumbotron. "I love you @taylorswift13 dont listen to those booo!!" she tweeted.

It's no secret Drake and Lamar have been beefing as of late, but...damn. Drake and Williams were linked from around 2011 to 2015, according to reports, and she later became a subject of his 2013 track "Worst Behavior." More recently, Williams, who is married to Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, danced to Lamar's "Not Like Us" and made fun of Drake briefly during the 2024 ESPYs. So the slings have been mutual.
At least for now, though, someone should call time of death.

Jordon Hudson and Bill Belichick's ex, Linda Holliday, attend same Nantucket party months after holiday clash
It seems the ice has thawed in Nantucket. Jordon Hudson and Linda Holliday were spotted at the same Massachusetts fundraiser on Saturday, roughly eight months after Bill Belichick's current gal pal and his ex-girlfriend, respectively, clashed at a holiday affair. TMZ reported Monday that 'no issues were seen by partygoers' at the Boston Pops on Nantucket soiree, which is 'believed to be [Hudson and Holliday's] first public run-in' since the Nantucket Dreamland encounter last December, when Holliday confronted Hudson. 5 Bill Belichick and girlfriend Jordon Hudson in February 2025.

Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Holliday — who split from Belichick, 73, in 2023 after 16 years of dating — told organizers at the December 2024 gathering she felt Hudson's 'presence was inappropriate, since the event was widely advertised as a party headlined by her daughters,' and asked a staffer to 'remove Ms. Hudson from the premises,' according to an incident report obtained by TMZ in May. Holliday and two others confronted Hudson on the dance floor, and when a staffer approached Hudson about whether 'she thought it was a good idea to be there,' the former college cheerleader defended herself, stating she hadn't done anything wrong. 5 Linda Holliday and Bill Belichick dated for 16 years before their breakup was reported in 2023.

Cristiano Ronaldo gave Georgina Rodríguez a ginormous engagement ring
Soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo and longtime partner Georgina Rodríguez announced their engagement on Monday. And after nearly eight years together, Ronaldo did not go with an understated approach for the ring. Seriously, calling the engagement ring "huge" is selling it short. In an Instagram post, Rodríguez — who was first seen publicly with Ronaldo in 2017 and has two children with the Portuguese star — wrote in a translated caption, "Yes I do. In this and in all my lives." Photos: Ronaldo and Rodríguez through the years The photo was taken in bed and included a look at the stunningly humongous diamond ring as she held hands with Ronaldo. As for how much that ring costs, there is no public information on the price or carat count yet. The Daily Mail did liken the ring to the 30-carat, $5 million ring that Jeff Bezos bought for Lauren Sánchez.
