White Lotus star Carrie Coon hints she has open marriage with husband Tracy Letts
The White Lotus star Carrie Coon appeared to hint that she and her husband, Tracy Letts, have an open marriage in a new interview.
The 44-year-old actor spoke candidly about the dynamics with her partner, whom she's been married to since 2013, during Monday's episode of the WTF with Marc Maron Podcast. She confessed that she and Letts don't get jealous easily, so they often talk about other people they're attracted to.
'It's nice to be in a relationship where we can always talk about, 'Well who are you attracted to on set?'' she explained. 'He notices every single woman on the street, and he always tells me who he has a crush on. It's fun. It's interesting to know what your partner is into.'
Maron then interjected to ask: 'But it doesn't ever go over the line?'
In response, Coon replied: 'We don't really like lines. Lines are really boring... Life is short. Finite!
'... [Letts] would never begrudge anyone the human experience,' she said. 'He's embraced being a person of appetites and acknowledging we have these proclivities.'
She went on to share her issues with the traditional expectations of monogamous marriage.
'Monogamy is sort of something we've imposed on ourselves, we were supposed to have babies and die at like 30,' she said. 'And that's not how life is anymore. So you have to kind of be open-minded about what engages you in the world, what sparks your imagination, and what your passion is.
'I think if you're willing to stay open to that, you're living more of a full life. And I don't think either one of us would want to keep the other from living,' she added of her relationship.
Coon's comments quickly gained traction on X, with one person resharing a clip of the segment on marriage with the caption: 'Finding out Carrie Coon and Tracy Letts have an open marriage has been a really great way to start my week.'
Coon and Letts met in 2010 while starring in the Broadway production of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? They got married three years later before welcoming their first child, Haskell, in 2018. They also welcomed a daughter in 2021, but have yet to share her name publicly.
The Gilded Age star has previously gushed about how grateful she is for her marriage while reflecting on some of the past relationships she'd been in.
'I have a healthy, happy marriage. When I was younger, let's say I didn't always conduct myself with integrity in my relationships. Now I've found a partner who I can be truly honest with, I never want to go back,' she told The Guardian in 2021.

Sherri Shepherd FINALLY reveals star who allegedly grabbed her in confrontation at Denzel Washington's Othello
Sherri Shepherd is revealing the identity of the actress who allegedly accosted her at the opening night performance of Broadway's Othello back in March. The 58-year-old actress and comedian previously claimed earlier in March on her eponymous daytime talk show that an 'unnamed celebrity' had allegedly grabbed her arm and whipped her around to confront her over 'shady' comments they said she had made about them. However, the play's opening night — which stars Denzel Washington as Shakespeare's title character and Jake Gyllenhaal as Iago — provided cover for the unnamed actress, as there were plenty of stars in the audience, including Jennifer Lopez and Angela Bassett. But Shepherd claimed during a Breakfast Club interview on Tuesday that the woman who physically confronted her nearly three months earlier was the actress Nia Long, 54. Representatives for Long and Shepherd haven't yet responded to request for comment. 'It was Nia Long. I don't know who [she] had me confused with,' Sherri alleged. 'The only time I've ever talked about Nia is when she went through with her partner [when] there was infidelity.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Breakfast Club (@breakfastclubam) She was referring to a 2022 scandal in which Long's then-fiancé Ime Udoka, a former NBA player who was then the head coach of the Boston Celtics, was revealed to have had an affair with a female employee of the Celtics association. The team announced he was to be suspended for the entirety of the 2022–2023 season over the inappropriate relationship, and Long later criticized the Celtics for allegedly never contacting her to see how she was holding up after the team publicly confirmed her partner's affair. Shepherd said on Tuesday that she 'supported' Long's position during the infidelity ordeal, and she added that Long 'deserves to have a good man to be with her.' 'I have no idea who she thought was shading her, but it was not me,' she continued. 'I have no beef with Nia. I'm a fan of hers.' When Shepherd first revealed the negative with an actress, she said being grabbed and castigated in public left her feeling 'upset,' but she claimed she offered to meet with Long in the women's bathroom at intermission to hash out their differences. However, she allegedly waited 15 minutes in the restroom without Long ever showing up. 'You don't get to pull me and turn me around like we're in a doggone cartoon and then walk away,' Shepherd said on The Breakfast Club. But when she was asked why she would make public claims that could stir up more controversy for her, Shepherd said that coming clean also benefited her professionally. She clarified that she didn't initially mention Long's name, and said the other stars at opening night made it difficult to single out any star. But Shepherd said her other career as a stand-up comic benefits from the buzzy confrontation. 'Everything that happens in my life is material for me. And my stage, my comedy stage, is the talk show,' she explained. 'So I got on stage and I just talked about it, and I said, "You know, this happened."' She reiterated that she had invited Long on her talk show to discuss what had upset the actress, and she insisted that she doesn't 'like to tear down people.' 'I honestly was just confused,' the 30 Rock actress continued. 'And I also don't like when you touch me and you pull at me. I don't like that. She grabbed me and spun me around. '[But] I'm cool. I'm so cool. It's done,' she added. 'I would love to talk to her and just clear it up.' When Long was initially wrapped up in her former fiancé's cheating scandal, she was publicly supported by several celebrity friends, including Snoop Dogg, Community star Yvette Nicole Brown and the sports journalist and political commentator Jemele Hill. Long shares a 13-year-old son, Kez, with her ex Udoka, and she also has a 24-year-old son, Massai Zhivago Dorsey II, whom she shares with her ex, the actor Massai Z Dorsey, whom she dated from 1999 to 2001. The couple were engaged for 10 months before going their separate ways.

Blake Lively gushes over new 'role model' singer in an apparent dig at Taylor Swift amid rumored feud
Blake Lively has heaped praise on Cynthia Erivo following her showstopping performance at the 2025 Tony Awards, hailing the singer and actress as a 'role model' amid her supposed fallout with Taylor Swift. Wicked star Cynthia, 38, kicked off the acclaimed awards at New York City 's Radio City Music Hall on Sunday with a powerful original opening number that paid tribute to all the nominees and the shows currently lighting up Broadway. Following the sensational scenes, Blake, 37, took a moment to publicly celebrate Cynthia's talent and branded her 'unreal.' Alongside a clip of the new Tony's host's vocals posted on her Instagram Story, Blake gushed: 'This. Human. Is. Unreal. 'The talent, beauty, elegance, strength, pipes, whimsy and mischief in every single details. Performing lyrics that were written in real time so there was no way to have practiced the final version. 'The courage and confidence it takes to do this is one of countless ways @cynthiaerivo shows what it looks like to be a role model. 'On screen, on stage, and off.' 'And most simple but meaningful of all, Cynthia is kind,' Blake added. 'What a show. Congrats @cynthiaerivo & @thetonyawards.' Blake's heartwarming Cynthia tribute comes as rumors of a reported rift between her and longtime friend Taylor, 35, continue to swirl. Last week, a source told Daily Mail that Taylor is leaving Blake's texts, calls and emails unanswered. It was recently reported that Taylor has iced out her friend of 10 years, due to feeling 'betrayed' and 'exploited' by Blake. 'Even though Taylor has totally cut ties with her, Blake hasn't with Taylor,' the insider claimed. 'She's been reaching out to her with texts, voicemails and even emails begging to mend what they once had. Blake isn't giving up on trying to get her friendship with Taylor back on track. 'Taylor hasn't responded to any of Blake's pleas. She's ignored all her grovelling excuses. The missives explain there must be some misunderstanding on Taylor's part and that she would never do anything to harm their ten years of closeness and personal secrets.' Blake stands accused of unwantedly dragging Taylor, godmother to her three daughters, into the ongoing legal battle with her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni, 41. In January, Taylor was named in various legal documents - with potential humiliations including screenshots of alleged texts from Blake in which she referred to herself as 'Khaleesi' (a character from TV series Game of Thrones) and to Swift as one of her 'dragons.' Then, last month, Taylor was dramatically subpoenaed as a witness by Justin's lawyers. 'Days later, however, the subpoena was withdrawn, after the singer's 73-year-old father Scott Swift reportedly provided evidence to Justin's attorneys detailing how Blake's team had allegedly tried to coerce Taylor into making a public statement of support for the actress. It is understood that Taylor has no plans to make amends with Blake amid their continued fallout. 'Taylor obviously still means so much to Blake, but Taylor's totally done with her and as of right now, no requests will mend their bond as far as she's concerned,' the insider added.

Channel 4 viewers say unique sci-fi drama compared to Black Mirror 'has to become a series'
One viewer called the drama a little miracle Channel 4's latest venture into YouTube drama has been received with mixed feelings, branded as a vexing iteration of Black Mirror but with a 'preposterous twist'. Entitled BETH, it marks the broadcaster's debut digital original series. As of yesterday (June 9), viewers have had the opportunity to delve into the narrative through various mediums. Audiences can access the drama via Channel 4's own streaming service, divided into three bite-sized episodes ranging from a mere 7 minutes to a modest 16 minutes each. Alternatively, the whole piece is assembled into one single episode for free on YouTube, delivering a succinct total run-time of 35 minutes. Given these concise formats, it's perhaps not a shock that the mind behind the project, writer and director Uzo Oleh, has previously confined his filmography to short films. In the leading roles are Nicholas Pinnock – set to feature in Long Bright River – and Australian model Abbey Lee, reports Surrey Live. They portray Joe and Molly, a couple flourishing in success whose long-held aspiration to parent a child eventually materialises; however, their joyous event turns their lives upside down. As Joe discovers a shocking truth, he grapples with the dilemma of safeguarding his family or disclosing his findings to the world. Although BETH has just started making its rounds among audiences, early critiques and feedback are beginning to surface. Notably, a review by The Guardian was less than flattering, labelling BETH as "a frustratingly unfinished Black Mirror." They continue to critique: "Channel 4's first YouTube show about a couple's IVF woes looks stylish, but at just three 15-minute films, it feels wildly rushed. TV this brief needs to be perfectly formed .... and this is far from it." They further comment: "Beth is a very stylish and confidently directed piece, with fine performances throughout – especially from Pinnock, though he also benefits from having the most to do. But the script needs to be tighter and work harder so that we aren't left feeling as if we've just watched the beginning of a Black Mirror episode." In another review, The Independent pans the finale as 'preposterous', skipping detailed spoilers: "I won't go into spoilery details here, but there's a ginormous twist, which is not only poorly executed, but actual pay-off is pants. I'm no doctor, but I'd say there's a six per cent chance of it inspiring awe." Nevertheless, they manage to recommend the show, saying: "But you should still check out Beth because, when it's good, it's a little miracle." The sentiment of value for the viewing time wasn't lost on others either, especially given its concise format. On social media, one audience member expressed: "It's great to see Channel 4 breaking new ground by commissioning digital dramas. Beth is a meditative and delicately told story by Uzo Oleh of a couple's attempt to conceive." Another viewer expressed their desire for the digital drama to be a precursor to something bigger. Commenting on the show's YouTube channel, they enthused: "Amazing Brother...I love it. This has to become a series".
