'Yellowstone' star Josh Lucas marries Brianna Ruffalo in Vatican City 10 years after divorce

Express Tribune5 days ago
Josh Lucas, known for portraying a younger version of John Dutton in the hit series Yellowstone, has married television meteorologist Brianna Ruffalo. The couple wed in a ceremony held in Vatican City, marking Lucas' second marriage—ten years after his 2014 divorce from writer Jessica Ciencin Henriquez.
The news was first reported by Us Weekly after Ruffalo shared the announcement on Instagram on July 18. She posted a photo of the couple with the caption, 'Mr. and Mrs. Incredibly blessed to receive this sacrament together inside the heart of the Catholic Church and holy city.' Lucas responded in the comments, writing, 'I love you! Easily one of the greatest days of my life. I am so so grateful.'
The couple began dating in 2022 and got engaged two years later. The engagement was publicly shared in June 2024, a year before their July 2025 wedding. In the announcement post, Lucas wrote: 'For the last 2 years in Every Way and Every Day this beautiful soul has made me and my life better, deeper, and more whole. I am so grateful and thrilled she said 'Yes.' I WAY love you, Brianna.'
The couple's announcement drew warm responses from fans online.
'Guys, I have no words… you are beautiful, inside and out,' one commenter wrote. Another added, 'Here's to a very happy and beautiful life together forever!'
Lucas shares a son, Noah, with his former wife. Beyond his personal life, he gained recognition for his role in Yellowstone, which concluded in 2024. In an August 2024 interview with Tell-Tale TV, Lucas said he was eager to join the show after reading the script. 'I was in awe of being there… because of the horses and the land,' he shared.
Their Vatican City wedding marks a personal milestone for Lucas, complementing the closing chapter of his work on Yellowstone.

Ms. Rachel refuses to work with creators silent on Gaza

Popular children's YouTube creator Rachel Griffin Accurso, widely known as Ms. Rachel, has publicly declared that she will not collaborate with anyone who has remained silent on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. In a July 24 Instagram post, Accurso criticized content creators with large platforms who haven't spoken out about the Israeli military campaign in Gaza, which has resulted in tens of thousands of Palestinian deaths since Hamas' 2023 attacks. 'I will always choose kindness, but I will never understand your silence,' she wrote. 'Especially from those with so much privilege – the uncancelable – who still remain in the shadows.' Best known for her educational YouTube series Songs for Littles, Ms. Rachel has built a following of nearly 15 million subscribers by teaching young children basic concepts through songs and visuals. Her recent advocacy, however, has drawn backlash from pro-Israel groups. In April, StopAntisemitism called on authorities to investigate whether she was promoting anti-Israel propaganda. The group accused her of spreading manipulated images of Palestinian children and labeled her a 'Hamas propaganda amplifier.' In an interview with journalist Mehdi Hasan on Zeteo, Accurso defended her stance, saying, 'It should be controversial to not say anything.' She emphasized that her advocacy stems from empathy for children, not antisemitism. Accurso has partnered with Save the Children and continues to highlight Palestinian stories, including that of a 3-year-old girl injured in an airstrike. 'Kids feel I care about them deeply, and that's why I have this platform,' she said. Despite criticism, Ms. Rachel remains firm in using her voice to support Gaza's children.

Travis Kelce drops unseen Taylor Swift pics from their secret escapes

NFL star Travis Kelce just made his relationship with Taylor Swift even more official by sharing a personal Instagram post filled with never-before-seen photos of the couple's private life together. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end uploaded a carousel of intimate snapshots capturing their time spent during his offseason, writing, 'Had some adventures this offseason, kept it.' The images show Swift and Kelce enjoying cozy moments together, including ski trips and sun-drenched vacations, giving fans a rare glimpse into their typically low-profile romance. This is the first time Kelce has posted private photos of the pop superstar, marking a major public milestone for the couple, who began dating in 2023. Swift previously went Instagram official with Kelce in June 2024, when she shared a photo of the two posing with Prince William and his children at her Eras Tour stop in London. According to a source speaking to People, the relationship has hit a new stride. 'They're incredibly happy and in sync,' the insider shared. 'This kind of downtime is rare for both of them, and it's really allowed their bond to deepen.' Swift and Kelce reportedly split their time between Nashville, New York, and quiet vacation spots, including Big Sky, Montana. As Kelce begins NFL training camp, Swift is expected to support him more regularly now that her Eras Tour has wrapped. Their two-year anniversary is just weeks away, and this latest post shows that the couple is stronger—and more open—than ever.

I'm done with people trolling me: Alizeh Shah

Alizeh Shah took to Instagram this week to share a deeply personal and emotional account of her experiences in the Pakistani entertainment industry. Framing it as her final attempt to reclaim her narrative, the Ehde Wafa star opened up about years of harassment, exploitation, media ridicule, and what she describes as a toxic, patriarchal culture that repeatedly tried to silence her. "I'm going to expose every single person who did me wrong," Shah declared in a series of video stories. "I'm done with people trolling me, making fun of me, and making memes out of me. You guys have no idea how difficult an actor's life already is." Her testimony comes amid renewed online scrutiny following the resurfacing of a 2022 interview with senior actor Yasir Nawaz. Nawaz described Shah as difficult to work with and claimed he would never collaborate with her again. His comment reignited public criticism and triggered a wave of trolling that, according to Shah, significantly contributed to her retreat from the spotlight. While Shah did not name Nawaz directly, the timing and tone of her stories clearly suggest that her comments are, at least in part, a response to the narrative that interviews like these helped fuel. 'Not an accident' Among the most emotionally charged moments in Shah's video was her retelling of the now-infamous ramp fall at Bridal Couture Week in 2021. In a viral clip, Shah is seen stumbling while walking alongside playback singer Shazia Manzoor. At the time, she had dismissed the incident as an unfortunate mistake, even thanking Manzoor for her support. Now, however, Shah claims the stumble was no accident. "We had to go right. This lady pulled me and dragged me on the floor," she said, replaying the clip to support her claim. She further alleged that Manzoor had inappropriately touched her throughout the walk and made calculated attempts to cause her fall. What hurt even more, Shah said, was how the incident became a punchline in the industry. She called out host Juggan Kazim and influencer Jannat Mirza for publicly mocking her by recreating the moment. Clips she shared showed both Kazim and Mirza laughing and reenacting the fall on camera. Shah said she chose to stay silent at the time to maintain professionalism, but now admits the betrayal and public ridicule deeply wounded her. Shah also addressed a separate incident that grabbed headlines in 2023 — when she was accused of assaulting a fellow actor and throwing a lit cigarette at her. Shah says the truth was distorted beyond recognition. "She pushed me. I didn't fall. And then she slapped me. I was in shock," Shah recalled. "She started telling everyone that I threw a cigarette at her." Shah says she asked the crew to replay the footage since cameras were rolling — but no such incident was captured. In frustration, she admits she threw a sandal at the actor, but denied all other claims. She was discouraged from filing a police report, as it could delay or damage the production. The next day, she says, she woke up to headlines branding her violent and unprofessional. To support her account, Shah has now shared an old interview of actor Sami Khan, in which he confirmed witnessing the slap during the shoot. "I stayed quiet at that time because I was weak. It took so much time for me to heal from this lie and speak up," Shah wrote.
