Miley Cyrus Says Dad Billy Ray Is 'Finding Happiness' in His New Relationship With Elizabeth Hurley
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Miley Cyrus is leaving the family drama behind her, or at least she's trying to. The singer has been in promo mode as she celebrates the release of her new album Something Beautiful, and during a recent stop by The New York Times' The Interview podcast, Miley opened up about her relationship with her dad and even addressed Billy Ray's relationship with Elizabeth Hurley. Speaking about her sometimes complex relationship with her parents, Miley said that she 'took on some of [her] mom's hurt' when Tish Cyrus and Billy Ray divorced in 2022, which led to her estrangement form her father. Miley didn't even thank Billy Ray in her Grammys accptence speech, fueling more rumors of a Cyrus family feud. But now that her mom is married to actor Dominic Purcell and Billy Ray is dating Elizabeth, Miley says she feels like her 'adult self has caught up.' She continued, 'My mom is like so in love with my stepdad Dom, who I also just completely adore. And now that my dad, I see him finding happiness outside of that too, I can love them both as individuals instead of as a kind of, you know, a parental pairing.' 'At first, it's hard,' Miley said of seeing her parents back in the dating pool. 'The little kid in you reacts before the adult in you and go, 'Yes, that's your dad, but that's just another person that deserves to be in his bliss and be happy.'' This show of public support comes about a month after Miley commented on the family feud and announced that she and her father had reconciled. 'My dad and I have had our challenges over the years. Now, in my thirties, family is my priority above all else. I'm at peace knowing bridges have been built and time has done a lot of healing,' she wrote on her Instagram Stories. Billy hasn't commented on his renewed family relationships, but he has been very public with his new love. Elizabeth and Billy Ray hard launched their on Instagram six weeks ago with an Easter post featuring Billy Ray wearing green bunny ears and kissing Elizabeth on the cheek, and they've been posting about each other ever since. No word on whether or not Miley's hung out with them yet, though.

Jessica Alba's Full Dating History Is Full of Celebs
Jessica Alba is living her best life following her split from Cash Warren, by which I mean she's "channeling chill, breathwork, friendship and selfcare" as a summer 2025 vibe. But there's also evidence that Jessica is dating again thanks to the fact that she was spotted kissing an International Man of Mystery in London—so now seems like a good time for a deep dive into her relationship history. Starting with some rumors. Jessica and Mark were rumored to have had a fling in 2003, at least according to websites like Whos Dated Who. But for what it's worth, there's no hard evidence that they were actually an item (I mean, they were photographed together ^^^, but), so moving on to another rumored man in her dating history... According to E! News, Jessica and Derek briefly dated in 2004. However, this was an extremely "early internet" era when things like DeuxMoi didn't exist and pap pics hadn't quite yet reached fever pitch. Meaning Jessica and Derek weren't photographed together, so if they did date, it was entirely under the radar. Jessica and Cash were together for a full 17 years before splitting up this past January. The exes (who remain on good terms) met on set of The Fantastic Four, where Jess was playing Sue Storm and Cash was working as a director's assistant. They married in 2008 and went on to have three kids—who are pretty much all grown up now! Jessica filed for divorce this past February and announced the news on Instagram, writing, "I've been on a journey of self realization and transformation for years - both as an individual and in partnership with Cash. I'm proud of how we've grown as a couple and in our marriage over the last 20 years, and it's now time for us to embark on a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals. We are moving forward with love and kindness and respect for each other and will forever be family. Our children remain our highest priority and we request privacy at this time." A source recently told Us Weekly that "Jessica and Cash are still intertwined with their business ventures and the kids," "talk often," and remain "good friends." In fact, they celebrated Easter as a family back in April. Jessica and Alex Edelman were speculated to be dating when they were photographed leaving the Vanity Fair Oscars Party together, but a source told E! News that they barely know each other. Ahem: "They are not dating. They met walking to their cars at the end of the night and he offered her his jacket because she was freezing before they went their separate ways." Jessica was spotted kissing a "mystery man" during a walk through Regents Park in London in mid-May, and a source told The Sun that "They looked very intimate. They were hugging and holding hands as they walked through the park together. They rented out some deck chairs and they were sitting on them kissing. It looked very much like a new relationship." That said, an insider then told Us Weekly that "[Jessica has] gone on dates, but she isn't seeing anyone specific right now. She's having a lot of fun going out with her girlfriends and being more spontaneous. She's embracing all the attention she's getting." All done! You are now an expert in Jessica Alba's relationship history, as you were.

"The Summer I Turned Pretty" Trivia And Easter Eggs
The Summer I Turned Pretty is one of the most significant teen shows of the decade — and with Season 3 coming out soon, it's the perfect time to dive into the show's behind-the-scenes lore. Here are some interesting facts and Easter eggs you won't want to miss... Lola Tung and Chris Briney, who play Belly and Conrad, had to do their chemistry test over Zoom back in 2021 when the series was in pre-production. And they nailed it! 🔥 Lola fractured her foot while filming the very first episode of Season 1. "We were filming the flashback scene," she revealed. "We were running around the table and I jumped to grab the muffin from Sean and I landed weird and fractured my foot." The show is set in Cape Cod but is filmed in Wilmington, North Carolina, which is a hotspot for teen TV — iconic series Dawson's Creek, One Tree Hill, and the more recent show Outer Banks were also filmed there. Jenny Han, who is both the creator of the show and the author of the books it's based on, has a cameo in each season — in Season 1, she appears at the deb ball, and in Season 2 she's a customer at the gas station. Keep your eyes peeled for her in Season 3. Taylor Swift features heavily on the soundtrack for The Summer I Turned Pretty, which is a nice full-circle detail, considering Jenny Han says she listened to Taylor's album Fearless on loop while writing the original books. Some of Belly's looks in Season 1 were directly inspired by Olivia Hussey as Juliet in the 1968 film version of Romeo and Juliet. Lola Tung went to high school with two of her co-stars — David Iacono, who plays one of her love interests, Cam, and Sean Kaufman, who plays her brother, Steven. The three of them attended LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts. The cast seems to have as much fun on set as their characters do — between filming, they do things like play baseball, play chess, game, go on picnics, and have pillow fights. Although they do have tense moments too — Chris revealed Gavin Casalegno, who plays Jeremiah, didn't talk to him after he went "too far" filming a Season 2 scene where Conrad is mean to Jeremiah and Belly. Chris apologized and made up with Gavin. Gavin credits spending all his time at the beach playing beach volleyball and swimming in the ocean with giving him such incredible curls. Jenny Han says she drew on the movie Beaches for inspiration for the platonic soul mates story of Susannah and Laurel. Laurel's memoir being named It's Not Summer Without You is not only an emotional tribute to Susannah, it's a nod to the title of the second book in Jenny Han's original series. There's a small moment in a Season 2 flashback where Laurel knocks over letters Susannah is writing to her sons — foreshadowing a mix-up with them that is a major plot point in book 3 and, presumably, Season 3. Season 2 had all female directors across its eight episodes. Zoe Cassavetes directed Episodes 1 and 2, Isabel Sandoval directed Episodes 3 and 4, Sophia Takal directed Episodes 5 and 6, and Megan Griffiths (pictured above) directed Episodes 7 and 8. In the final episode of Season 2, both Belly and Conrad are bathed in warm light in the motel, while Jeremiah is in the cool lighting — suggesting Belly's heart is ultimately still with Conrad. The Season 3 teaser poster visually references the movie Sabrina. The characters actually go to see Sabrina at the drive-in in Season 1. Like The Summer I Turned Pretty, it's about an "ugly ducking" who gets a glow-up and is pursued by two rich brothers she's grown up with. Many fans believe the poster is a hint that Belly will definitely choose Conrad in the show, like Sabrina chooses Linus (Humphrey Bogart's character). Are you Team Bonrad or Team Jelly?
