Young Sheldon and Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage star, Montana Jordan, who plays Georgie Cooper, has tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend, Jenna Weeks. The couple exchanged vows in a romantic 'classic cowboy' themed wedding on June 21 in Texas, surrounded by family, friends, and some of Jordan's co-stars.
Montana Jordan, best known for playing Georgie Cooper on Young Sheldon and its spinoff, Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage, is now a married man. The 22-year-old actor tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend, Jenna Weeks, in a Texas wedding that blended country charm with elegance.
The couple exchanged vows on Saturday, June 21, at Dove Hollow Estate in Texas, surrounded by around 200 guests, including Jordan's co-stars Emily Osment, Rachel Bay Jones, Will Sasso, Jessie Prez, and Raegan Revord. The wedding followed a 'classic cowboy' theme, with French chandeliers, soft ivory florals, and candles.
Weeks described their vision to People as 'country but elegant,' and Jordan happily let her lead the planning, calling it her 'perfect day.' The couple shared that they wanted to make the ceremony 'memorable and intimate,' with a strong emphasis on family and faith. The couple privately exchanged handwritten vows before a ceremony officiated by their hometown pastor, which included a communion ritual to reflect their Christian beliefs.
Weeks looked radiant in a Valentini wedding gown, describing the experience as feeling like a 'real-life princess.' She later changed into a shorter, more dance-friendly dress. Jordan also swapped his ceremony look for a more relaxed outfit, which was Wranglers, a pearl snap shirt, and worn-in cowboy boots.
Montana Jordan and Jenna Weeks' first dance was to 'Tennessee Whiskey' by Chris Stapleton, followed by traditional mother-son and father-daughter dances. For those unaware, Jordan and Weeks first met in 2021 at a Cody Johnson concert in Nacogdoches, Texas. They were both 18 when their families brought them along, and from that moment, their relationship blossomed. Jordan proposed in January 2025 on the land where they plan to build their family home. The couple already shares a daughter, 13-month-old Emma Rae.

Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon Share Special Moment at London 'F1' Premiere During Glamorous Red Carpet Appearance

Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon made their return to the red carpet as a couple The pair attended the European premiere of F1 in London, on June 23 The couple opted out of matching ensembles for the premiere, but they shared a special moment as Ramon fixed the actor's tieInes de Ramon helped keep Brad Pitt looking sharp on the red carpet. The couple attended the European premiere of F1 in London on Monday, June 23. For the occasion, the actor wore a two piece suit in a deep forest green shade. The 61-year-old actor's suit consisted of a double-breasted jacket with gray buttons and matching slacks. For a dapper touch, Pitt added a white collared shirt, worn open and accessorized with a satin scarf in a lighter green shade. Pitt completed the look with his recently cropped buzzcut, brown aviator sunglasses, and brown dress shoes. At one point in the evening, Ramon, 32, helped Pitt avoid a fashion mishap, when she straightened his tie as they posed for photos. When she wasn't helping Pitt with his errant tie, Ramon dazzled in a embroidered beaded gown from Fendi, which featured micro-crystals, sequins and knotted duchess straps detailing paired with a matching Nano Baguette complete with its own beaded fringe that shimmered as camera lights flashed. The jewelry designer accessorized the look with diamond-encrusted huggie hoop earrings. The couple had a few subtle PDA moments on the red carpet — at certain points, the pair was spotted holding hands, and Ramon was spotted fixing Pitt's neck scarf.

If The Bear has inspired you to explore Chicago's fine-dining scene, try these restaurants

This article was produced by National Geographic Traveller (UK). From beef sandwiches to Michelin-star-seeking menus — TV show The Bear's fictional restaurant has given us a story arc that, in many ways, mirrors the real-life culinary history of the city it's set in. Just as the Original Beef of Chicagoland was transformed from a sauce-splattered sandwich bar into the show's titular fine-dining venture, so too has Chicago evolved from a meatpacking capital to one of America's pioneering food cities. One upon a time, fine dining in the Windy City mostly consisted of steak and potatoes. Then in 1987, Charlie Trotter opened his eponymous restaurant in Lincoln Park. Using French and Japanese techniques and lots of fresh vegetables, Trotter — like The Bear's chef, Carmy — was determined never to repeat a menu. He transformed Chicagoans' idea of what fine dining could be and influenced the next generation of chefs. Charlie Trotter's closed in 2012 (Trotter's son has promised to reopen it later this year, following a successful pop-up venue in the restaurant's original location on Armitage Avenue), but today, inventive high-end restaurants in the city abound. Here are a few of the very best. Meals at Alinea are playful and have helped the 20-year Chicago establishment become the first restaurant in the city to earn three Michelin stars. Its executive chef, Grant Achatz, made a cameo as himself in the third season of The Bear. Photograph by The Alinea Group Alinea, Lincoln Park Chef Grant Achatz was a Charlie Trotter disciple before he turned his attention to molecular gastronomy. Meals at Alinea are playful, featuring vapours, gels and balloons, food masquerading as other food and blocks of nitrogen-frozen dessert that diners get to smash. Now 20 years old, Alinea was the first restaurant in the city to earn three Michelin stars and has become a Chicago classic, but the kitchen maintains its capacity for wonder and delight. Tasting menus from $325 (£240). There's plenty of fresh produce on Atelier's ever-changing menu. Many of Atelier's dishes reflect the immigrant communities that continue to build the city. Atelier, Lincoln Square Atelier's ever-changing menu embodies the Chicago area itself. There's plenty of fresh produce raised on local farms or foraged from Midwestern forests and fields, but many of the dishes also reflect the immigrant communities that continue to build the city. And that's how diners may find themselves eating foie gras served on a bagel with boshi agrodolce (a Japanese and Italian-inspired sweet and sour sauce) or a Korean carrot salad made with locally grown purple carrots: a true taste of the Midwest. Tasting menu from $175 (£130). Bavette's, River North Bavette's is a throwback. The restaurant itself is hidden, speakeasy-style, in a basement, a nod to Prohibition-era Chicago (though today without the obvious gangster contingent). And the menu is filled with old-school classics: seafood towers, martinis, wedge salads and all manner of steak, from the humble steak frites to a whopping 32-ounce porterhouse. And naturally, this being Chicago, there's pie — try lemon meringue or chocolate cream — and hot fudge sundaes for dessert. With the dim, romantic lighting, eating here feels like you're getting away with something. Three courses for around $150 (£110). Cariño's menu looks similar to those of nearby taquerias: tacos, empanadas, quesadillas. But look closer and notice unusual ingredients, imaginatively deployed. Photograph by Kelly Sandos Photography Day of the Dead décor found at Cariño. Opt for the eight-course taco omakase (chef's choice), served on tortillas crafted from house-made masa dough. Photograph by Kelly Sandos Photography Cariño, Uptown At first glance, Cariño's menu looks similar to those of nearby taquerias: tacos, empanadas, quesadillas. But look closer and notice unusual ingredients, imaginatively deployed. That quesadilla, for instance, comes not with the usual carne asada (sliced, grilled steak) or marinated pork al pastor but pumpernickel, Oaxaca cheese and black garlic. The ravioli stuffed with huitlacoche (corn smut fungus) — also known as Mexican truffle — is a particular revelation. Or opt for the eight-course taco omakase (chef's choice), served on tortillas crafted from house-made masa dough. Tasting menu from $200 (£148). Indienne's tasting menu is available in vegetarian, vegan and pescatarian variations. Photograph by John Burger Indienne, River North As one might guess from its name, Indienne features South Asian flavours in French-influenced presentations. Here, malai (cream) chicken is transformed into a mousse and served with truffles and a cheese emulsion, while the pani puri (fried wheat or semolina shells) arrive at the table covered with a dome made of buckwheat pastry. The tasting menu is also available in vegetarian, vegan and pescatarian variations, making this a good choice for those with dietary considerations. Tasting menus from $135 (£100). Chef Noah Sandoval's tasting menu physically takes diners through different areas of the restaurant, such as its Oriole Lounge, before they finally settle into their seats in the dining room. Photograph by Garrett Sweet Oriole, West Loop At Oriole, a meal is a journey, both physically and literally. The first few courses of chef Noah Sandoval's tasting menu take diners through different areas of the restaurant before they finally settle into their seats in the dining room. And while the menu itself is always changing, Sandoval's commitment to fine ingredients like wagyu and caviar and his willingness to play with flavours and textures remains constant. If you want to settle in after all the excitement, stay overnight in The Loft, a furnished apartment above the restaurant. Tasting menus from $350 (£260). Smyth, West Loop Married chefs John Shields and Karen Urie Shields apprenticed at Charlie Trotter's and Alinea and honed their skills in Smyth County, Virginia, before opening Smyth, which recently became Chicago's second restaurant (after Alinea) to earn three Michelin stars. The couple combine high-quality ingredients with impeccable technique to create an ever-changing menu of exquisitely composed dishes that look like they came straight from nature. Try the likes of enoki mushroom croustade, Vermont quail with malted milk bread and rainbow trout with barbecued papaya. Tasting menu from $420 (£310). Plan a trip to Hermosa to enjoy a dine-in Cambodian lunch or a 12-course Family Meal dinner. Photograph by Lissy Poeut Hermosa, Hermosa The Chicago restaurant that most resembles The Bear is probably Hermosa. It started off as a neighbourhood sandwich shop in this northwest Chicago district, and by day, chef Ethan Eang Lim still serves the likes of Cambodian-spiced fried chicken sandwiches and Italian beef banh mi (filled baguettes) to take away. But with some advance planning, you can enjoy a dine-in Cambodian lunch (Thursday-Saturday) or, even better, a 12-course Family Meal dinner. Booking ahead is essential as the restaurant only has two tables, and dishes vary depending on the season and diner's dietary preferences can be taken into account. But you can expect more of that fried chicken, plus grilled pork salad, a seafood tower and Mama Lim's kwa kgo, a fermented beef sausage, served with green curry. Family dinner costs $325 (£240) based on 10 people dining. To subscribe to National Geographic Traveller (UK) magazine click here. (Available in select countries only).

Relationships Between Celebs & Normal People That Didn't Work Out

We've all heard the fairytale stories about A-list celebrities who settle down with non-famous people. Matt Damon, George Clooney, Margot Robbie, and Jennifer Lawrence all fall into this category of stars who've found love away from the buzzy Hollywood dating pools. And recently, while listening to Ariana Grande's iconic divorce album, Eternal Sunshine, I found myself thinking: What about the celeb/normie relationships that didn't end so well? So, without further ado, here's a roundup of celebrities who dated — or even married — non-famous people, only for it not to work out in the long run. Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez Speaking of divorce albums, Ariana Grande was first linked to her future husband in early 2020, when TMZ published footage of her making out with 'a rando at a bar.' That 'rando' turned out to be a real estate agent called Dalton Gomez. Ari and Dalton announced their engagement in December 2020 and married in May the following year. However, the marriage did not last the test of time, and their split was made public in July 2023. Ariana has not talked publicly about the divorce; however, her Eternal Sunshine album included a number of hints as to what may have gone down… Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart is our ultimate lover girl, so you better believe she's tried dating a normie. Jennifer hit it off with Casper Smart in 2011 when he was a backup dancer on her tour, and they wound up getting engaged the following year. During their on-and-off relationship, and Casper faced a lot of scrutiny over their 18-year age-gap, and by 2016, they'd called things off for good. Earlier this year, Casper was charged with operating an illegal marijuana grow operation at his home in LA. Meanwhile, is still Zac Efron and Vanessa Valladares OK, this might be one of my favorite A-list/normie romances to date. In June 2020, Zac was living in Australia and met a local girl called Vanessa Valladares while she was working at a coffee shop. Like something out of a book, the pair struck up a romantic relationship and were photographed together numerous times — she even celebrated his 33rd birthday with him in October that year. However, by April 2021, People had reported their split, saying that Zac had been the one to end things. Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth Reese met talent agent Jim Toth at a friend's house in early 2010. She was seen introducing him to her famous pals in May that year, and by December, they were engaged. They married in 2011, and in 2012, they welcomed a son named Tennessee. Reese and Jim announced their divorce just days before their 12th wedding anniversary in 2023. A source told People at the time that the pair had become 'two very different people,' describing Reese as 'headstrong and focused,' while Jim was more 'laidback.' Lady Gaga and Christian Carino Lady Gaga was first linked with her talent agent beau in 2017. Gaga and Christian Carino made a number of red carpet appearances together and even got engaged. Notably, in 2017, Gaga said that many of her past relationships seemed to end whenever she hit a big career milestone. Fast forward to February 2019, and, amidst the global hype for A Star Is Born, People confirmed that Gaga and Christian had split. A month later, she won an Oscar, and now she's happily engaged to another non-famous guy, Michael Polansky. Ariana Grande and Ricky Alvarez Welcome back, Ari! After meeting him as one of her backup dancers in 2015, Ariana dated Ricky Alvarez for about a year. He wasn't famous at the time, although he soon found himself in the headlines as the mystery man standing next to Ari in the infamous 2015 video of her licking a donut. The pair broke up in July 2016, and while the relationship may not have been that long, Ricky was one of Ari's select few exes who got a shoutout on her 2018 hit, 'thank u, next.' What a legacy. Sydney Sweeney and Jonathan Davino For years, it felt like people were always asking, 'Who's the random guy that Sydney Sweeney is engaged to?' Well, that random guy is called Jonathan Davino, and as it happens, they're not engaged anymore. Sydney and Jonathan were first linked in 2018 and got engaged in March 2022. The Euphoria star was always very private about her relationship, although she did once deny rumors that Jonathan was 'the heir of a pizza company.' ('He's a business guy. He's from Chicago,' she clarified to Glamour UK.) Reports that the couple had split surfaced in March this year, and in May, she confirmed that she's single. Jessica Alba and Cash Warren From one newly single actor to another, Jessica Alba filed for divorce from Cash Warren in February this year, ending their 16-year marriage. For context, Jessica and her future husband met on the set of Fantastic Four more than 20 years ago when Cash was working as an assistant behind the camera. They tied the knot in 2008 and share three children together. Rumors of their split first started bubbling up in early January, and Jessica confirmed the news in a statement a few weeks later. Britney Spears and Sam Asghari Britney Spears met Sam Asghari on the set of her 'Slumber Party' music video in 2016 when she was one of the most famous people on the planet and he was cast to play her love interest. They went official with their relationship in January 2017, and in the years that followed, Sam was by Britney's side as she navigated her conservatorship battle. After her conservatorship ended, Britney and Sam tied the knot in June 2022. However, just 14 months later, sources confirmed that they'd split. And finally…Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn OK, this is more of a bonus mention, because whether or not Joe Alwyn was a normie when he and Taylor started dating in 2016 is up for debate. However, it's certainly fair to say that he wasn't that famous at the time. During the six-year relationship, Taylor talked (and sang) openly about how Joe's 'normal way of living' helped her change her viewpoint on fame. 'The idea of privacy feels so strange to try to explain, but it's really just trying to find bits of normalcy. That's what that song 'Peace' is taking about. Like, would it be enough if I could never fully achieve the normalcy that we both crave?' she told Rolling Stone in 2020. As we now know, Taylor and Joe's 'normal' way of life eventually stopped cutting it and the couple split in April 2023. Today, she's in a comparatively far more public relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce, and Joe is certainly more famous than he was a decade ago. Can you think of any I missed?
