Little Women Star Saoirse Ronan and Husband Jack Lowden Expecting Their First Child
Saoirse Ronan and Jack Lowden are expecting their first child together, sources close to the couple have confirmed. The Irish Independent revealed the joyful news, which comes less than a year after the couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Edinburgh.
Ronan, 31, and Lowden, 34, reportedly couldn't be happier about the upcoming arrival. The couple first met in 2018 while filming Mary Queen of Scots, where Ronan played the title role and Lowden portrayed her second husband, Lord Darnley. Their on-screen chemistry quickly blossomed into a real-life relationship.
Lowden has openly praised Ronan in past interviews, calling her a 'force of nature' and a 'brilliant leader.' Ronan echoed the admiration, telling Harper's Bazaar that his praise meant more than anyone else's. In a 2023 interview with British Vogue, the Little Women star said she had 'always wanted' marriage and children, and felt ready to embrace motherhood without sacrificing her career.
The couple currently reside in a €2.8 million home in Islington, north London, with their terrier, Fran. Ronan also owns a coastal cottage in Ballydehob, west Cork. Together, they co-produced the 2024 film adaptation of The Outrun, in which Ronan starred. She described Lowden as 'a lot calmer' and her 'voice of reason' in creative collaborations.
While they haven't appeared together on screen since Mary Queen of Scots, Ronan recently teased a possible future stage project with Lowden, saying she'd convinced him it would be 'a great idea.'
From child prodigy to four-time Oscar nominee, Ronan has long been a standout talent in the film world. Now, as she prepares for motherhood with her equally accomplished husband by her side, this next chapter promises to be one of her most rewarding yet.

Bills quarterback Josh Allen shows off new ring following marriage to actor Hailee Steinfeld
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Josh Allen's broad grin was familiar. The wedding band on the quarterback's ring finger was brand new. As much as Allen hoped to talk about the Buffalo Bills on Tuesday, the newlywed couldn't escape questions about his headline-grabbing marriage to actor/singer Hailee Steinfeld in Southern California on May 31. 'We're back to football,' he said, before pointing to his ring finger. 'Got some hardware now. So, good to go.' Allen was otherwise short on details as part of his longstanding bid to maintain a semblance of privacy, even though pictures from the outdoor wedding were posted on social media mere minutes after the couple exchanged 'I do's.' There were pictures of Steinfeld wearing a strapless white gown walking down the aisle, the couple sharing a kiss, and Allen, in a black tuxedo, posing with friends and Bills teammates. It wasn't until being asked about what the past four months have meant to him — in which Allen was named NFL MVP in February, signed one of the league's richest contracts in March and got married in May — that Allen finally opened up. He called Steinfeld his best friend, and said she makes everything easier. 'That was the most important decision I'll make in my life and I made the right one,' Allen said. Western New York and the NFL have a new power couple, both of whom happen to be from California and began dating two years ago. There's the 29-year-old Allen, who in seven seasons has set most of the Bills scoring and passing records. His star has continued to rise while he has transformed the Bills into an AFC power, also building his profile through various national commercials. And then there's Steinfeld, 28, who first gained fame by earning an Oscar nomination for best supporting actress for her role as Mattie Ross in the Coen brothers' 2010 remake of 'True Grit.' She has since enjoyed numerous starring roles, most recently in the movie 'Sinners,' while also branching out into music. Amid the buzz, Allen brought the focus back to football as Buffalo opened a three-day mandatory set of practices. The quarterback skipped the team's voluntary sessions last week. Aside from taking his familiar spot leading the offense on the field, Allen spent time after practice being filmed to measure his footwork and mechanics. It's something Allen does several times a year to ensure he's not picking up bad habits. 'Making sure we're staying on top of those things and if there's something that we need to tweak for the better, we are going to try to do it,' he said. The same could be said of Allen's unflinching approach to dealing with the spotlight. Coach Sean McDermott credits the quarterback for staying true to himself. 'What I've seen is this truly genuine, authentic person who, yes, is in the limelight, yes, is one of the top players in our league, and maybe the top player in the NFL,' McDermott said. 'But he is so authentic, so down-to-earth, so relatable. I think that's really the connection and the cool piece about Josh is because he is who he is.' And yes, McDermott was among those in attendance at the wedding. 'I was very grateful to be there, No. 1,' McDermott said. 'Two, it was what you would expect of a wedding. Just great to see, and two really special families coming together.' AP NFL:

Titan: The OceanGate Disaster OTT Release- When and Where to Watch, What to Expect and More
A year after the ill-fated Titan submersible mission ended in catastrophe, Netflix is bringing the story back into the spotlight with Titan: The OceanGate Disaster. Directed by Oscar-winning documentarian Mark Monroe, the film investigates the 2023 incident that left five people dead after their deep-sea expedition to the Titanic wreck site went fatally wrong. Titan: The OceanGate Disaster release date and where to watch Titan: The OceanGate Disaster will begin streaming globally on Netflix from Wednesday, June 11, 2025. This comes after its world premiere at the Tribeca Festival on June 6, 2025. The film has already drawn attention for its gripping trailer and serious tone, and pieces together never-before-seen footage, audio recordings, and internal documents to reconstruct one of the most disturbing deep-sea tragedies in modern history. Titan: The OceanGate Disaster plot and trailer In June 2023, five individuals boarded OceanGate's Titan submersible to visit the Titanic wreck site, paying USD 250,000 each for what they believed would be a historic journey. Less than two hours into the dive, the sub lost contact. Four days later, hopes were extinguished as the U.S. Navy confirmed an implosion had occurred. This documentary investigates how it all went wrong—and who knew it could. Titan: The OceanGate Disaster exposes the internal warnings that went ignored, including safety test omissions, design flaws, and the company's decision to use carbon fiber instead of standard titanium for the hull. Engineers' concerns were dismissed by OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, whose vision of 'disruptive innovation' prioritized commercial fame over passenger safety. One expert likens the experience of boarding Titan to 'stepping inside a bomb made of Play-Doh.' The passengers—Rush, Hamish Harding, Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, and Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet—were casualties of this venture built on ignored warnings. Internal footage and interviews also reveal how those inside the company feared retaliation for speaking up. The Titan: The OceanGate Disaster documentary ultimately uncovers how a company that sold extreme adventure collapsed under its own reckless ambition. The OceanGate corporation ceased operations shortly after the incident and is now the subject of lawsuits and public scrutiny.

Weinstein jury set to keep deliberating after tensions spill into public
NEW YORK — Jurors in Harvey Weinsteinn'ssex crimes retrial appear to be moving past some interpersonal tensions and focusing on one of his three accusers as deliberations stretch into a fourth day Tuesday. At the end of Monday's session, jurors requested to start off Tuesday with electronic copies of emails and other evidence pertaining to Jessica Mann — the accuser with arguably the most complex history with Weinstein. During days of testimony, Mann said the Oscar-winning movie producer raped her in 2013 amid a consensual relationship that continued for years afterward. Weinstein's lawyers emphasized that she kept seeing him, accepting invitations and sending warm messages to him. Mann said she 'compartmentalized' the pain he caused her. Weinstein, 73, has pleaded not guilty to all the charges in the case. In addition to the rape charge, he's accused of sexually assaulting two other women, Mimi Haley and Kaja Sokola. Weinstein didn't testify during the current trial, but maintained through his attorneys that he had completely consensual encounters with his accusers, who wanted his help building show business careers. Weinstein was one of the movie industry's most powerful figures until a series of sexual misconduct allegations against him became public in 2017, fueling the #MeToo movement and eventually leading to criminal charges. The jury is made up of seven women and five men. Their closed-door discussions began Thursday and apparently have been fractious at times. One juror asked Friday to be excused because he felt one member of the group was being treated unfairly. Monday began with two jurors giving contrasting takes on the atmosphere in the deliberation room. First, the foreperson complained to the judge, prosecutors and defense lawyers that some jurors were 'pushing" others to change their minds, talking about Weinstein's past and going beyond the charges. The foreperson didn't specify what was said. Trial evidence has included some testimony about allegations outside the scope of the current charges, such as mentions of the groundswell of claims against the ex-studio boss in 2017. Weinstein originally was convicted in New York in 2020 of raping Mann and forcing oral sex on Haley. Sokola's allegation was added last year, after New York state's highest court overturned the 2020 conviction and sent the case back for retrial. Meanwhile, Weinstein is appealing a 2022 rape conviction in Los Angeles. The Associated Press generally does not identify people without their permission if they say they have been sexually assaulted. Sokola, Mann and Haley have agreed to be named.
