Grace Van Patten and Jackson White's Relationship Timeline
We still don't have an official release date for Tell Me Lies season 3 (sorry!), but I can tell you this: the show's stars, Grace Van Patten and Jackson White, are still thriving IRL. Based on Carola Lovering's novel of the same name, the Hulu series follows the twisty, toxic love story between Lucy Albright and Stephen DeMarco—which is, thankfully, nothing like the very sweet, very real love that has blossomed between Grace and Jackson. Since hard-launching their relationship on Instagram soon after the premiere of season one, the two actors have kept their romance pretty private, in fact, that you may not have even realized they were dating. However! During a recent interview with Elle, Grace confirmed that she and her 'real-life boyfriend' Jackson are still going strong. Let's take a moment to review their cute showmance from the beginning, shall we? Tell Me Lies premieres on Hulu, and it isn't long before dating rumors start circulating about the two leads. Tbh, Grace and Jackson don't do much to dispel the rumors. During an episode of the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, Jackson teases the possibility of an off-screen romance, confessing that he has 'a huge crush' on his costar. 'All I'm saying is that I'm obsessed with her because she's fucking amazing,' he gushes. He goes on to add, 'She is the fucking coolest, most grounded, amazing person IRL that you'll ever meet.' Grace, for her part, plays it a lil more coy. When asked by Entertainment Tonight about her real-life relationship with Jackson, she says, 'Fans should just leave it up for mystery, keep it fun. Who knows?' Grace and Jackson show up at the CFDA Fashion Awards looking veeeeery coupley: And in case there is any lingering doubt about where they stand, Jackson shares photo booth pics from the event on his Instagram Story, with an emoji strategically placed over what looks like a photo of them kissing: The next day, Jackson posts a cheeky photo of himself and Grace touching tongues to his grid with the caption, 'if we kiss can we get a s2 @hulu.' Side note: Grace posted the same pic on her own IG that same day, captioning it, '…just in the lick of time.' Love a coordinated hard-launch. The two hit up the Vanity Fair Oscar Party together looking chic as hell. Jackson drops this cute selfie on IG, along with a video of Grace in a go-kart. The caption: 'Florida couple steals go cart trophy from 9 year old birthday boy.' The couple is spotted at Paris Fashion Week and gets snapped at the Hermès show. Actor Katey Sagal (who, fun fact, is Jackson's mom both on the show and in real life) appears on the Broad Ideas podcast and reveals that Grace and Jackson have been dating 'since the audition'—which is way longer than people thought! According to her: 'They have been [dating] for two years.' In-ter-est-ing! During an interview with Only Natural Diamonds, Grace provides rare insight into her relationship with Jackson, talking about how well they work together both onscreen and off. 'I love working with him not just because he's my boyfriend but because he's so talented and giving and present,' she says. Not long after, she and Jackson are spotted at the US Open looking v cute and in love. Ahead of the season 2 premiere of Tell Me Lies, Grace admits to People how 'trippy' it is to work with Jackson 'because we are together in real life, and he knows me better than anyone.' She also makes it clear that she and Jackson are *very* different IRL than their onscreen counterparts. 'We're wildly different,' she says, 'thank goodness.' During an interview with Elle, Grace talks about filming season 3 with her 'real-life boyfriend,' noting, 'With us, there's no block; it's just full taking each other in, because that's what we're used to.' Oh, and she also reveals that she and Jackson started dating before he even officially landed the role of Stephen. 'We didn't know what was going to be more complicated—if he did get the part or if he didn't—but we didn't care,' she explains. 'We just couldn't help it.' Season 3 can't get here soon enough!!

And for 'Paradise,' he has three seasons in his head,' Brown said during a June interview with Deadline.

All Weaknesses of Xenomorphs in Alien: Earth & Past Movies Listed
Despite being apex predators, Xenomorphs in the Alien franchise have many weaknesses, and Alien: Earth seemingly confirmed another one in its second episode. With this rare weakness added to the canon, there are now more ways to take on the mighty Xenomorphs. Here is a list of every weakness the Xenomorphs have in the Alien franchise. List of all weaknesses of Xenomorphs from Alien: Earth and before Electricity Electricity is the latest weakness of the Xenomorph revealed in the recent Alien: Earth episode. Apart from the weaknesses shown earlier in the films, this is another factor that can subdue the extraterrestrial creature. Alien: Romulus previously teased electricity as a weakness. The new series confirmed that electricity can temporarily, or in large quantities, permanently disable the Xenomorph. Morrow subdued the alien with a prolonged bolt of electricity from a taser in the second episode of Alien: Earth. Bullets Despite being very strong, the Xenomorphs are not bulletproof. However, using bullets against them can still be complicated, as their blood is acidic. As seen in previous movies, their blood can melt through human skin and even spacecraft, making the use of bullets or explosives risky when facing this creature. Space The relatively safer weakness of the apex predator, ejecting the creatures into space, has been one of the more reliable methods of killing them in the Alien franchise. Alien and Aliens focused on this method. Though Alien: Romulus depicted how space may not be enough to completely kill off every Xenomorph, it remains among the most effective ways of eliminating the creature without collateral damage. Extreme Temperatures Extreme temperatures have also been a recurring method in the Alien franchise for killing Xenomorphs. From flamethrowers to extreme thermal heat, Xenomorphs struggle to survive in such conditions. Alien 3 had a memorable sequence where the prisoners tried to drown the Xenomorph hybrid in molten lead. Though it did not kill the creature immediately, the use of cold water afterward caused thermal shock that killed the Xenomorph. The first two episodes of Alien: Earth are now streaming on Hulu.
