‘Yellowstone' star Josh Lucas ties the knot with meteorologist Brianna Ruffalo inside the Vatican
The 'Yellowstone' star, 54, and Los Angeles meteorologist, 34, tied the knot inside Vatican City.
'Mr. and Mrs. Incredibly blessed to receive this sacrament together inside the heart of the Catholic Church and holy city,' Ruffalo wrote on Instagram on Friday.
The weather woman's sweet words accompanied black and white shots of her and her groom kissing, walking out of the chapel, and posing in front of the beautiful building.
Lucas replied in the comments section, stating, 'I love you! Easily one of the greatest days of my life. I am so so grateful.'
The pair exchanged vows in a private ceremony in Italy. Lucas donned a classic black tuxedo, while Ruffalo opted for a lace, strapless gown.
In a second post, the blushing bride shared a close-up of herself and her partner on their special day.
'We are grateful to the many people who helped us get to this moment in the Catholic Church,' Ruffalo penned. 'I am so thankful for Father Winters at the parish I grew up in, and Sister Angelica at the archdiocese of Los Angeles- as well as several others within the archdiocese.'
She added, 'We also absolutely couldn't have done this without our stellar wedding planning team who coordinated with the Vatican. Thank you for making our wedding day so beautiful and easy Thank you P & J team.'
Lucas took to his own Instagram to gush over his nuptials.
The 'Sweet Home Alabama' vet gave followers a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes of their wedding with adorable Instagram pics.
In one shot, Lucas is casually leaning his hand against the wall as he smiles at Ruffalo, who is holding a white laced umbrella over her head.
A second snap, in black and white, shows the actor fully leaning up against the building as the media personality struts by.
The 'Palm Royale' star and news anchor began dating in 2022, before getting engaged in June 2024.
Lucas popped the question while on a romantic getaway in Italy last summer.
'Almost 2 years ago this fall, and with no expectations, Josh walked into my life,' Ruffalo wrote on Instagram at the time, 'and we knew almost immediately we had each found our person in a way we've never experienced—on every level.'
'This was the easiest and best question I've ever answered,' she continued. 'So, here's to forever with my love, my best friend. I can't wait to keep living this life with you.'
Lucas echoed his partner's sentiments, writing in his own post, '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. Thank you to our families and all the people and places that made this come true. I am absolutely aware I got crazy lucky.'
Lucas was previously married to Jessica Clencin Henriquez from 2012 to 2014. The exes share son Noah, 13.
In 2022, the actor spoke about having his mini-me on set in Montana while filming the western 'Yellowstone.'
'To bring him on set and have him there, we had a great day, a rather, I must say, humbling day for me,' Lucas told Entertainment Tonight. 'It was the scene early in this season where I knock a guy out.'
On the series, which ran for five seasons from 2018 to 2024, the 'Firm' star played the younger version of Kevin Costner's John Dutton.
'My son was sitting at the monitor,' Lucas continued 'I walked up to the guy to punch him and, frankly, I tripped. My hat fell off and I dropped my gun. My son screamed from the monitor. He was like, 'Dad, you're a fool!''
Although Lucas has largely kept his son out of the spotlight, he did share in 2019 that Noah's first kiss was with a fellow A-lister's daughter.
Noah shared a smooch with Luna, Uma Thurman's daughter, while their parents were worked together in the 2017 Broadway show, 'The Parisian Woman.'
'Backstage, [Noah and Luna] had their little playroom, and one day we opened the playroom and they both like popped up from behind the couch, both of them. And they were both obviously so nervous,' Lucas explained while on 'The Late Late Show with James Corden.' 'Luna, Uma's daughter, walked out, and I took Noah and was like, 'What's going on?''
'He was like, 'I think, I guess I just had my first kiss,'' the actor added. 'Think about that — your first kiss is backstage behind a couch in a Broadway theater.'

9 'Old-Fashioned' Wedding Traditions You'll Only Find In The South
From old superstitions to comical customs. Wedding tradition in the South is nothing to be messed with. It starts the moment we say 'yes,' and it ends well after we say 'I do.' Everything in between is a flurry of celebration (including dozens of bridal showers), planning (there simply must be deviled eggs during cocktail hour), etiquette (starting with hundreds of thank you notes), and traditions that we've kept going for generations—and don't plan on stopping now. Here are 9 old-fashioned wedding customs in the South that we heed and cherish. Classic Southern Wedding Traditions Burying the Bourbon Perhaps our favorite Southern wedding tradition is one rooted in superstition: burying the bourbon. No one quite knows the origin of this tradition, but legend has it that if you bury a bottle of bourbon a month before your wedding, you'll have good weather on the day of your nuptials. It has to be bourbon (not whiskey), and it must be buried upside down to ensure the best possible weather for your big day. Customarily, on your wedding day after the 'I dos,' you dig up the bottle and share with your family and wedding party, or stash it away for a special anniversary. Cake Pulls If you've ever attended a ceremony down South, specifically in Louisiana, you've likely heard of one tradition that's baked right in: the cake pull. It calls for good-luck charms being attached to dainty ribbons and placed under the bottom layer of the cake, to traditionally be pulled by bridesmaids or loved ones (particularly those who are single). Many of the most commonly used charms have specific meanings. Pull a hot air balloon, and you're destined to live a life of adventure and travel. See the twinkling of a star charm, and all your wishes will come true. And if you're lucky enough to find a butterfly on the end or your ribbon, you can count on being forever beautiful. This tradition is often performed at the reception, bridal shower, or the bridesmaids' luncheon. Wedding Parades Particular mostly to Louisiana weddings, the second line parade is quite the celebratory tradition in which a brass band and parasol-wielding newlyweds lead their guests, who wave handkerchiefs or napkins, on a festive jaunt through the city (or around their reception venue). The musical parade is a lively way to send newlyweds into their married life with a little fanfare. Themed Groom's Cakes Partly thanks to the classic film Steel Magnolias with its 'roadkill armadillo' cake, outlandish groom's cakes have become a tradition that the South has fostered to new heights, with themes including SEC teams, hunting (deer antlers and all), state flags, bourbon, and anything else a Southern groom might adore. While we didn't originate the tradition (it comes from Victorian England), and others have certainly caught on, we've always put our own spin on it. Hilariously Large Wedding Parties As in, you'll see bridesmaids and groomsmen stuffed at the altar by the dozens at some classic Southern weddings, outnumbering the nuptials you'll attend elsewhere. This more loosely prescribed tradition stems partly from our big Southern families full of siblings and cousins, as well as partly from how Southerners are polite to a fault—and don't ever want to leave anyone out. Expect even larger bridal shower guest lists, and stiff competition during the bouquet toss. Southern Wedding Etiquette Customs Thank You Notes We Southerners are practically professional thank you note writers—heck, we'd even go as far to almost feel obligated to write a thank you note in return to receiving a thank you note—and it's especially beholden to wedding gifts and well wishes. While that might include dozens, or hundreds, of handwritten notes from the betrothed couple to guests—on monogrammed, embossed stationery, no doubt—it's so relevant to our etiquette-driven Southern culture that we'd deign to include as a wedding tradition of sorts. As we all know, there will be gossip if you don't send them out. Game Day Screens Sadly, this isn't our favorite Southern wedding custom. But when it comes to college football, Southerners don't play around—and game day is a very serious matter. If a couple makes the decision to have their wedding during football season, or even worse chooses the day of a crucial match-up or rivalry game, they must be prepared to expect to lose a few guests or to give the rabid football fans among the guest list what they want: a big screen with the game on at the reception. Who knows, you might just hear the bride and groom belting out battle cries. Southern 'Formal' Dress Codes Also in line with similar dress codes such as 'cowboy formal' or 'Texas formal,' this dress code allows for a little more wiggle room befitting of the locale and guest list, where cowboy boots are almost always appropriate at weddings, whether it's a casual backyard wedding or a black tie soirée. Yes, even with a tuxedo. (In that case, black cowboy boots would be preferable.) However, in recent years, festive dress codes such as this have become more widely used to encourage guests to dress 'fancy' without being afraid to show their personal style and Southern roots. Flower Girls and Ring Bearers As it turns out, including children in a wedding ceremony—complete with frilly frocks and seersucker—is quite the Southern thing. In fact, inviting children to weddings at all is more of a Southern practice than in other regions, as a big Southern wedding is treated almost like a reunion of sorts, little kids and great-aunts and all. While some might see children at weddings as an etiquette debacle, Southerners don't see it that way. Everyone's welcome. As long as they're formally invited, of course!

Ellie Goulding flaunts toned physique in multiple bikinis during sun-soaked Italian holiday
Ellie Goulding is living it up on her European vacation. The 38-year-old "Lights" singer posted a series of photos on Instagram from her Italian vacation, captioning the post, "Carbs IT." The carousel of photos not only featured the singer sightseeing but also a few bikini photos. In one photo, Goulding can be seen lying on a lounge chair poolside, while wearing an olive-green string bikini. The star can be seen basking in the sun as she held open a book in one hand. Another photo showed Gouldig reading the same book, this time dressed in a black bikini, which she paired with round black and gold sunglasses. The post also featured a selfie of Goulding in the same black bikini, as she posed for the photo indoors. She also took some time to relax on the beach, as she posed for a photo on a dock in the ocean, while wearing a brown bikini with a black pattern design on it. She gave the camera a slight smile as she held a tropical drink. Other photos in the post show the singer enjoying the beautiful views of Italy, exploring the city's ruins, as well as the architecture and the art. "Italy looks so good on you," one fan wrote in the comments section. Another added, "drop the lifting routine ellie omg," while a third chimed in with "Stunningly beautiful." Goulding recently performed her cover of Elton John's hit, "Your Song," at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos' wedding reception in Venice, Italy. Opera singer Andrea Bocelli's son, Matteo Bocelli, also performed at the reception, singing a cover of Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling in Love" as the newlyweds' first dance song. This isn't the first time Goulding has sung her version of "Your Song" at a famous couple's wedding reception, as she previously performed the song at Prince William and Kate Middleton's second wedding reception after they tied the knot April 29, 2011, in London. The Prince and Princess of Wales shared their first dance to Goulding's cover of the famous song. Goulding made headlines in August 2023 when a video of her getting hit with a firework during her performance at the Victorious Festival in Portsmouth, U.K. went viral on social media. "To those asking I am ok! Pyro didn't hit me directly in the face. Face is intact. Love you thank you x," Goulding wrote on her Instagram stories following the accident. A video from the performance shows Goulding attempting to shield her face from the rogue firework, and she could be heard exclaiming, "F---," before going on with the show. The incident occurred while she was performing her song "Miracle," which she collaborated on with Calvin Harris, when one of the on-stage pyrotechnics malfunctioned and seemed to hit her in the face.
