Anna Camp Claps Back at Comments, Defending 18-Year Age Gap With Jade Whipkey
When LGBTQ+ outlet Pink News dropped footage of Anna and Jade's red carpet debut at the Los Angeles premiere of Bride Hard, the comments section was flooded with critiques surrounding their age gap. The headline on the social post revealed that Anna is 18 years Jade's senior, which sparked a debate.
'Just cuz they are gay doesnt excuse the weird ahh age gap,' one person wrote, while another said, 'Regardless of celebrity or gender: if a 42 year old is with a 24 year old, it's about power or control, even on a subconscious level.'
Other folks came to Anna and Jade's defense. 'Many don't understand that being a controversially young girlfriend is the lesbian dream,' one person joked, while another referenced Anna's Pitch Perfect co-star, Rebel Wilson: 'Almost every pitch perfect bella coming out as a queer is so important to me.'
Anna then left a comment to defend her and Jade's relationship. 'Thought I'd jump on here since I follow @pinknews and just say I've dated men exactly my age and Jade is FAR more mature than any of them,' the You alum started.
She explained, 'We have more in common than anyone else I've ever dated and can literally talk about anything and everything ♥️ Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I'm wishing everyone well :) Especially this Pride month 🌈.'
Another person even pointed out age gap relationships have a different dynamic in queer relationships, saying, 'Age gaps in queer relationships are very common and don't often elicit the same power imbalances as hetero relationships given we live in a patriarchal society that prioritises men being in power and women being objectified.'
They continued, 'Healthy queer relationships don't prescribe to those heteronormative gender dynamics. 👌 these two humans look so bloody happy and I'm ecstatic that more and more women are discovering who they are and finding true happiness ♥️.'
Before soft-launching her romance with Jade earlier this year, Anna married Michael Mosley from 2010 to 2013 before she wed her Pitch Perfect co-star, Skylar Astin, from 2016 to 2019. People has also reported that Anna was romantically linked to drummer Michael Johnson from 2020 to 2024.

Freakier Friday: Lessons In Empathy For Mothers And Daughters
What if your biggest assumption about your mother was wrong? That's the premise driving Harper's story in Freakier Friday. She believes Anna's life is one long sacrifice, a trade-off between fame and family. She fears she is the reason her mother gave up her dream. But the body swap shows her something else entirely: Anna didn't lose; she chose. She loves her career. She thrives in it. And she loves being a mom. That realization shifts everything. This is what makes the sequel resonate. At its core, it's a story about empathy, perspective, and the danger of assuming you know what another person wants or needs. Why the Sequel Matters The 2003 version with Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan was a mother-daughter comedy about clashing personalities. This latest chapter expands the chaos. The body swap isn't just between Tess and Anna. It now involves Harper and Lily, Tess's soon-to-be step-granddaughter. That decision opens the door to something broader. It's not just about a mother and daughter learning to understand each other; it's about what happens when multiple generations are forced to see life from another point of view. Some critics have praised it as heartfelt and funny in outlets like Entertainment Weekly. Others, like Time, argue that it leans too heavily on nostalgia. Both are right in their way. The story doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it does offer something families will recognize: how often we misjudge the people closest to us. The Essential Lesson At the center is empathy. To love someone deeply, you need to stop making assumptions and start seeing their reality. That's true in families. It's also true in leadership. "When you have empathy for another person or you understand their daily struggles, it can change communication," explained Dr. Greg Gomez, LMFT, DSW, the Clinical Director of The Oasis Rehab. "You can connect better with them. You understand what they are going through. You understand the pressure they are facing. You understand the fatigue. This strengthens relationships." That insight applies as much to a teenager and her mom as it does to a leader and their team. What Mothers Model Without Realizing It The film makes a strong case that leadership starts at home. Harper doesn't realize until later that her mom's problem-solving, resilience, and adaptability are leadership skills. They weren't presented as lessons. They were absorbed through observation. "Mothers often solve daily problems creatively," added Gomez. "This teaches their children how to solve problems as well. They also model resilience. Daughters often watch their mothers' faces and overcome difficult challenges." That modeling often happens quietly, through setbacks, late nights, or difficult decisions. Harper thinks her mother has given something up. In reality, she's been teaching her daughter how to lead. Seeing Beyond Assumptions Jenny Beckford, a Family Wellbeing Consultant and Parent & Teen Coach, told me, "When we truly take time out to understand someone's daily challenges, whether it's a teen navigating identity or a parent juggling emotional stress and financial stress, we shift from reacting to responding. In both family and leadership roles, having empathy becomes a bridge as it softens communication, fosters trust, and allows us to lead with compassion rather than control." That could describe Anna and Harper's transformation. At first, they are reacting to each other with frustration. By the end, they are responding with compassion. The Weight of Perfectionism As A Mother The film also brushes against another truth: the pressure daughters often absorb from their mothers. Clinical psychologist Dr. Andrea Mata noted that mothers frequently model perfectionism, even if unintentionally. "Society expects women to be perfect, and it is causing anxiety, depression, and burnout. Mothers are expected to work a 9-5, chaperone field trips, organize Pinterest-worthy parties, cook four-course meals, have immaculate houses, flawless makeup and hair, and be dressed to the nines. It has only gotten worse with social media." That burden feeds the misunderstandings between Anna and Harper. Harper sees her mom's juggling act as a failure. In reality, it's survival, and often a quiet kind of success. Leadership And Being a Mother in Action Gabriella Pomare, author of The Collaborative Co-Parent, framed it this way: "When you step into their shoes, conversations stop feeling like battles to win and start feeling like puzzles to solve together. As co-parents, we often think the other person just doesn't get it, but when you imagine their 6:30 am chaos of packing lunches, finding lost socks, and calming a teary child before an early meeting, you stop judging and start problem-solving. The same thing happens in leadership: when you understand someone's reality, you can tailor your communication to their needs instead of your assumptions. It builds trust and makes space for cooperation." It's an observation that echoes throughout Freakier Friday. Once Anna and Harper trade roles, neither is focused on "winning" their disagreements. Instead, they are solving problems together. What Daughters Really Learn About Being A Mother The truth is, daughters are always watching. They observe how their mothers cope with stress. They watch how they speak up, how they soften, how they keep going. As therapist Kiana Shelton of Mindpath Health shared, "Mothers often model resilience for their daughters without even realizing it. Mothers often navigate a lot of emotional labor and have been modeling resilience for generations. To me, as a clinician and a mother, this is leadership in its rawest form. It's raw creativity to thrive in spaces often not designed for you to thrive in." That resilience doesn't always look glamorous. But it leaves an impression. What Freakier Friday Leaves Us With So what can this film teach us? That empathy is leadership. That resilience is modeled in everyday moments. Making assumptions about the people closest to us often leads to unnecessary pain. For mothers and daughters, the message is simple: perspective changes everything. You don't need a body swap to see it. You just need to listen differently and lead with empathy. Freakier Friday might be wrapped in comedy and chaos. Still, its message is one worth remembering: leadership begins with empathy, whether you're a mother, raising a daughter, running a household, or leading a team.

Thousands gather to celebrate third Pride by the Harbourside
THOUSANDS of people gathered on Whitehaven Harbour to celebrate this year's Pride event. The third Pride by the Harbourside took place on Saturday with a parade led by the deputy lord lieutenant for Cumbria and the MP for Whitehaven and Workington, Josh MacAlister. A free concert was then opened by Eurovision icon Sonia and performances followed by boyband 911, Danish Eurodance group Cartoons and English house music duo Freemasons. The parade at Pride by the Harbourside (Image: Colin Johnston) Also taking to the stage were pop and dance artist Jan George, vocalist PJ Taylor and local acts including Logan Paul Murphy and Stella the Fella. Along the harbour were food stalls, information stalls, and a variety of family-friendly activities. For the first time, Rosehill Theatre hosted a community stage. The event, organised by Proud and Diverse Cumbria, attracted between 8,000 and 10,000 people to the harbourside. The parade at Pride by the Harbourside (Image: Colin Johnston) Glenn Anderson, director for Proud and Diverse Cumbria, said: 'It was fantastic. There was so much colour, so much vibrancy. The stallholders did tremendous trade. 'Most importantly, from my perspective, we provided an environment that was good for the mental health wellbeing of vulnerable and isolated people. That's our job done. 'The number of people dressed up, wearing glitter and carrying flags, there were thousands of people who were there associated with our event, not just visitors. That's a great thing because it evidences the need for these safe spaces to be created. The event brought colour and vibrancy to Whitehaven Harbour (Image: Colin Johnston) 'I equally wish to point out that Cumberland Council are doing a very good job addressing the rights of minority people. 'I have to publicly recognise that we have achieved some of the goals that we wanted to. I have to thank the people who are in power for listening that we all wanted was equality and parity. 'It's getting to the point that maybe the next event doesn't need to have a label. I don't want us to be segregated in any way. We are part of the community. Our focus going forward, is to continue integrating into the community. Josh MacAlister, the MP for Whitehaven and Workington, gives a speech at Pride by the Harbourside (Image: Josh MacAlister) 'Truly thanks to the harbour commissioners for allowing us each and every year to bring some colour and vibrancy to such a beautiful, historic, scenic location. We are extremely privileged that they grant us permission every year to do that. 'Thank you to the leader and deputy leader of the council, Mark Fryer and Emma Williamson, who have been great champions and have done what they pledged in their manifestos.' Josh MacAlister, MP for Whitehaven and Workington, said: 'It was an honour to help open the celebrations and to stand alongside so many friends, families, allies and neighbours in support of our LGBT+ community. The colour, the music, the joy, and - most of all - the sense of togetherness made me proud of what Pride represents. Josh MacAlister, the MP for Whitehaven and Workington, at Pride by the Harbourside (Image: Josh MacAlister) 'As Cumbria's first openly gay MP, I'll never take for granted the progress we've made, or the importance of events like this in showing that whoever you are, and whoever you love, you are welcome and valued here. 'Thank you to the organisers, volunteers and everyone who made the day such a success. Here's to many more years of Pride by the Harbourside - and to carrying that spirit of inclusion and equality with us every day of the year.'

With Her Debut Album, JADE Says ‘There's Nothing Holding Me Back' From Spilling Truth
Prior to this year's festival season, JADE had already performed on massive stages for countless fans — but never by herself. As such, appearances at 2025 U.K. festivals like Glastonbury, Mighty Hoopla and Radio 1's Big Weekend required plenty of prep work. 'When I first started rehearsing, I was like, 'Oh, s–t. I actually have to sing the whole of every song,' ' says the 32-year-old pop star, who spent over a decade in the best-selling girl group Little Mix. 'I had to train my body and breath work. And then there was my internal challenge, since I'm my own biggest critic. I was like, 'What do I need to do to show everyone that I am great on my own?' ' More from Billboard Addison Rae & Her Producers on the 'Different Energy' of Their 'Magic' All-Women Studio Sessions Alison Wonderland Calls Out 'Loser Behavior' As Trolls Swamp Her Social Posts Luke Combs Says Garth Brooks Once Bought Him a Ford Bronco Raptor as a Thank You Gift: 'I Was Just Kinda Floored' JADE's debut solo album, That's Showbiz Baby!, answers that question: Due out Sept. 12 on Sony Music U.K./RCA Records, the 14-song project demonstrates the breadth of Jade Thirlwall's taste as a pop student and skills as a wide-ranging vocal dynamo. Last year, JADE made her dramatic solo debut with 'Angel of My Dreams,' a complex synth-pop firecracker that earned critical raves and became a top 10 hit in the United Kingdom. The single hinted at her complicated relationship with the music industry, after Little Mix won The X Factor in 2011 and then relentlessly recorded albums and toured before going on a hiatus in 2022. In January, promotional single 'IT girl' — which included lyrics like 'Sign on the line for me/Baby, smile, but don't show your teeth/Say goodbye to autonomy' — made those feelings about the group's micromanaged run explicit. 'We all know what it's about,' JADE says of 'IT girl,' which she regrets not making a proper single. 'It's got a certain cheekiness — I'm a laugh-at-my-trauma kind of girl, and I really enjoy writing music that ruffles people's feathers because that's what art should do. Those are my experiences, and now that I'm on my own, there's nothing holding me back from telling that truth.' JADE started thinking about the tone of her debut while Little Mix was wrapping up its run and signed solo deals with Full Stop Management and RCA in early 2022. She felt an urge to continue the group's momentum and immediately return to the spotlight, but found that all her early solo material sounded like Little Mix songs. 'Part of me was conditioned to be on this hamster wheel with the group,' she says. 'It was essential that I took a good two, three years to figure out who I am.' During that time, JADE linked up with producers like Cirkut, Lostboy and Mike Sabath, translating 'the art of compromising and teamwork' that she learned with Little Mix into studio sessions with multiple points of view. To establish her own, she drew inspiration from the styles she loved growing up, pre-X Factor: Motown, Clubland, musical theater. She also pulled from Madonna and Janet Jackson, pop icons with a knack for reinvention, as well as Gwen Stefani and Girls Aloud's Nicola Roberts — former group members who fashioned bold sounds on their own. As a result, That's Showbiz Baby! balances bugged-out pop experiments like 'Angel of My Dreams' and 'IT girl,' thumping dancefloor fare like 'Fantasy' and 'FUFN (F–k You for Now)' and glimpses of JADE's personality that she never had the opportunity to showcase within a group setting. 'Glitch' pushes JADE toward futuristic R&B while exploring her own insecurities, while 'Unconditional' is a clear highlight that illustrates the album's ambition. Blending disco shimmer with aggressive guitar, JADE describes 'Unconditional' as 'Donna Summer meets MGMT' and is dedicated to her mother, who has battled health issues as her daughter has become a pop star. Following a few more festival appearances in August, JADE will embark on her first headlining tour in October, presenting That's Showbiz Baby! across Ireland and the United Kingdom. She says the goal of her live show is to present herself as more than 'Jade from Little Mix' and that the reactions from her recent festival crowds have been beyond encouraging. 'I've loved being onstage again and performing songs that I've written from my personal experiences,' she says. 'The live shows in particular have shown me that I really can do this on my own and enjoy it.' In that regard, That's Showbiz Baby! is just the first step in a long-term plan: JADE already has song concepts for her second album and visual ideas for upcoming eras. Like Little Mix, her core fan base is in the United Kingdom, but she wants to expand outward and become a major force in other territories. After more than a decade of tireless work within a girl group, JADE understands she must prioritize originality and authenticity as a solo artist — but also knows she possesses the fortitude to achieve her goals. 'I live and breathe pop music,' she says. 'I can't imagine doing anything else.' This story appears in the Aug. 16, 2025, issue of Billboard.
