Young Sheldon star Emily Osment files for divorce just months after wedding
Actor Emily Osment has filed for divorce from her husband, musician Jack Anthony Farina, after less than five months of marriage.
The 32-year-old Hannah Montana alum filed the petition in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday, citing irreconcilable differences.
The couple wed on 12 October and separated on 7 December, according to court documents.
They do not have any children.
This was the first marriage for Osment, the younger sister of actor Haley Joel Osment, who made his breakthrough in the psychological thriller The Sixth Sense.
She rose to prominence playing Lilly Truscott, the best friend of the title character in the Disney Channel series Hannah Montana, played by Miley Cyrus.
Osment later starred in the sitcoms Young & Hungry and Young Sheldon, and currently appears in the Young Sheldon spinoff, Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage.
The news of the divorce was initially reported by TMZ.
Farina is a DJ, music producer and singer-songwriter. He releases music on Soundcloud under the name Farina.
Osment has previously said that Hannah Montana, which ran from 2006 to 2011, changed her life.
However, she previously revealed she has never watched any episodes of the teen sitcom.
'I can't even tell you whether I've watched it at all — is that terrible?' she said when asked on the Chicks in the Office podcast, adding that there was an exception.
'I remember watching the premiere because they had a party for us on stage,' Osment said.
'And I remember that was such an interesting time, because we had no idea what it was going to be, that it was just going to be this sensation that, like, swept the world.'
The actor also recalled times spent with Cyrus and how 'everything changed' after Hannah Montana aired on TV.
'Miley used to come with me to my school dances and, like, nobody knew who she was and then immediately everything changed,' Osment said.
'And that was very strange.'

ADRIAN THRILLS reviews Miley Cyrus' Something Beautiful: Miley channels her inner Pink Flloyd for ambitious concept album
Verdict: Fearless but flawed The latest Miley Cyrus album certainly comes with a lofty billing. The former Disney Channel TV star claims that Something Beautiful is a concept piece that explores themes of healing, transformation and finding beauty in darkness. It's 'an attempt to medicate... a sick culture through music,' says Miley. And there's more. Supposedly influenced by Pink Floyd 's 1979 rock opera The Wall, and Alan Parker's surrealist 1982 film adaptation of it, the album is accompanied by a feature-length promotional film. It opens with an overture, titled Prelude, in which Cyrus intones a few spoken words about a railway journey in which passing landscapes are 'swallowed into the distance'. Later, two clattering instrumental interludes disrupt the flow. She came in like a wrecking ball. Is she now giving us her free-form jazz odyssey? Not quite. There are moments where the 32-year-old edges beyond what might be expected from a mainstream star. But, aside from a handful of songs addressing an uncertain romance, there's no real concept here. Something Beautiful is essentially a slick pop record with extra bells and whistles. Like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera in the 1990s – and Sabrina Carpenter and Olivia Rodrigo more recently – Miley has used Disney's all-round showbiz training as the springboard to a music career. She first made her mark playing fictional pop star Hannah Montana in the teen sitcom of the same name, but has matured into a raspy-voiced singer with an impressive range. As the Tennessee-born daughter of country star Billy Ray Cyrus (and goddaughter of Dolly Parton), she sings with a distinctive Nashville twang, and even took a detour into country on 2017's Younger Now. Something Beautiful, however, skips more haphazardly between genres. There are strong moments – but also a fair amount of filler. The best tracks arrive early. Sung with a Stevie Nicks-like huskiness, More To Lose is a heartache ballad. The title track is a soul song slightly spoiled by bombastic guitars. Built around a piano riff in the style of Abba's Dancing Queen, End Of The World finds Cyrus seeking a remedy for bad times by throwing 'a party like McCartney'. It's the big pop moment on an album that isn't exactly stuffed with bangers. The second half pivots to generic dance music. Walk Of Fame, a duet with Brittany Howard, frontwoman of the Alabama Shakes, is an energetic 1980s electro-pop pastiche. Every Girl You've Ever Loved contains a spoken-word cameo from Naomi Campbell. The idyllic love song Golden Burning Sun looks to the strain of 1970s soft-rock that helped to turn Harry Styles into a superstar. Despite all the grand statements, and an album sleeve in which Miley is draped in vintage Thierry Mugler couture, there's nothing as memorable as 2013's Wrecking Ball, 2020's Midnight Sky or 2023's double Grammy-winning Flowers here. But you can't accuse her of lacking ambition. LITTLE SIMZ: Lotus (AWAL) Rating: The BRIT-winning London rapper delivers a typically eclectic mix on her sixth album, embracing Latin rhythms, Afrobeats and finger-popping funk while adding more playfulness to her thoughtful, introspective storytelling. Working with new producer Miles Clinton James and Adele's string arranger Rosie Danvers, she nods to Amy Winehouse on humorous hometown playlet Young, and sings candidly on the piano-led Lonely. Michael Kiwanuka supplies intricate guitar on the title track. I Forgive You (Verve) Rating: The Oscar-nominated Wicked actress looks to add 'pop star' and 'singer-songwriter' to her impressive CV on this second solo album. Embracing soul and R&B without abandoning her roots in musical theatre, it places her spectacular voice front and centre. Divided into four acts to chronicle an evolving relationship, it opens with anguished ballads before the mood lightens on breathy bossa nova She Said. The trip-hop flavoured What You Want reiterates her range and power.

Miley Cyrus fans outraged after Hannah Montana star reveals shocking ban imposed by Disney
has revealed that she was barred from performing Hannah Montana songs after leaving Disney. In a candid interview on the Every Single Album podcast, the 32-year-old pop icon confirmed a long-suspected fan theory that she was prohibited from singing any music from her Disney Channel days. 'After I left Disney, I wasn't allowed to perform any of the Hannah Montana music. It's not like I wanted to, I mean, performing 'The Best of Both Worlds' between 'We Can't Stop,' and 'Wrecking Ball' wouldn't have really made sense,' the singer said. 'But it was still sad knowing those songs have my voice, my face, and I wasn't allowed to sing them. 'But after being inducted as a Disney Legend, I was given permission to perform those songs in the future, which is pretty cool.' Fans on Reddit were shocked to learn the Flowers hitmaker was banned from singing her own songs. 'Not The Mouse keeping Best of Both Worlds from us,' someone joked. 'That's wild because it would mean she was the only person on the planet who couldn't (since you don't need permission to make your own covers of songs, whereas you do need a license to use someone else's recording),' a person observed. Another added: 'If she went on a Hannah tour I would hand my money over so fast. To this day I remember how heartbroken I was that I never got to see her in person, I loved her.' 'I would love to see her do a Super Bowl halftime show including Best of Both Worlds,' someone suggested. 'I can't imagine what it feels like to come full circle and sing these songs while holding all of the power. She deserves this,' another user praised. 'Disney's control over its talent is wild. She deserved more creative freedom,' a person said of the company. 'This is crazy! I didn't know she wasn't allowed. I ADORE Hannah Montana's music so I hope we get to hear her perform them live in the future!!' a stunned fan wrote. A person simply wrote: 'Disney sucks for that.' has contacted Disney for comment. The restriction was lifted after Cyrus was honored as a Disney Legend in August 2024, making her the youngest-ever recipient of the award. The award is presented to a Disney Legend, an individual who has significantly influenced the company and left their mark on the industry. During her emotional acceptance speech at the D23 Expo in Anaheim, she reflected on her journey with Disney. Miley dedicated the award to her alter ego Hannah Montana from the hit Disney Channel series that ran from 2006 to 2011. Speaking of her breakthrough role she said: 'I had gotten a taste of what my life could be, and from that moment on, I did not want anything else. 'A little bit of everything has changed... but at the same time, nothing has changed at all. I stand here still proud to have been Hannah Montana,' she said. Later in her speech, she said: 'In so many ways, this award is dedicated to Hannah and all of her amazing loyal fans, and to everyone who has made my dream a reality. To quote the legend herself, "This is the life."' Miley recently surprised a small audience at a TikTok-hosted event by performing 'The Climb' live for the first time in years, per People. The performance was part of a listening party for her new album, Something Beautiful, and was met with an emotional response from fans. 'I'm not singing 'The Climb' but I could,' she teased in a TikTok of the moment. Her pianist Michael Pollack started playing the chords and she started to belt out the lyrics. Briefly, she stopped to ask the crowd, 'Is that the right word?' and 'Do you know the chorus?' As she finished and the crowd applauded, Miley said her drummer and boyfriend Maxx Morando had 'been waiting since middle school to play that song.'

Nicola Peltz's gratitude over 'beautiful people' in her life amid Beckhams rift
Nicola Peltz - who has been at the centre of speculation about the alleged Beckham family rift - paid tribute to three people in her life in a post on social media amid the rumours Amid ongoing rumours of a rift with her husband Brooklyn Beckham 's family, Nicola Peltz has expressed gratitude for "beautiful people" that are in her life. The actor shared the update with fans on social media this afternoon. Nicola, 30, paid tribute to her "team" in the post on her Instagram Story earlier today. She was seen posing beside three people, one of whom is a celebrity hairdresser, in a photo shared with her followers on the platform. The Transformers: Age of Extinction star looked in good spirits as she took the selfie in a mirror alongside the trio. Nicola wrote in the caption: "I love my team so much. I'm so grateful to have such beautiful people around me." They are just three of the people in Nicola's circle, which has attracted attention lately. It was reported earlier this week that she has a "fast-growing posse of A-list friends," according to a source that spoke to Closer magazine. It was also suggested that she is "becoming the Queen Bee" at the moment amid reports of tension with her in-laws. Nicola's close pals are said to include Selena Gomez, and she's reportedly reconnected with "old pals" like Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid and Hailey Bieber recently. Meghan Markle was described by the source as her "newest pal". They said that through the former actor, Nicola had been introduced to Serena Williams. The speculation about Nicola's circles of friends comes amid ongoing rumours of a rift within the Beckham family. It was fuelled by Nicola and her husband Brooklyn, 26, having reportedly been absent from 50th birthday celebrations for his father David Beckham, 50, last month. At one point, the relationship between Romeo Beckham, 22, and Kim Turnbull, 24, - who have since split up, though reportedly not due to the alleged family feud - was attributed as a factor in the alleged rift. TMZ reported earlier this year that Brooklyn and his wife Nicola questioned whether Kim had "the right intentions" for dating Romeo. It came amid speculation that Romeo's brother Brooklyn was once romantically linked to Kim, though TMZ reported at the time that it was "all under the bridge". Hello magazine however reported Cruz Beckham, 20, wrote in a now-deleted comment amid the rumours on social media: "Brooklyn and Kim never dated." More recently though, other parties have been blamed for the apparent rift instead. It's included Nicola being blamed for the rumoured tension by some people. She has also been defended though, with a source previously telling the Mirror that she "encourages" Brooklyn to see his family. Amid the ongoing speculation, a source said last month that there was "distance" between Brooklyn and his parents David and Victoria Beckham, 51.
