Are Sean Kaufman and Minnie Mills Dating?
Onscreen, Steven is currently in a ~romantic entanglement~ with Belly's bestie Taylor. However! In real life, actor Sean Kaufman is seeeeeeemingly dating his season one love interest, played by Minnie Mills. Yes, that's right—outside the world of Cousins Beach, Steven and Shayla still going strong.
Curious about their whole deal? Same. So let's do a deep dive. Starting with...
Filming begins on The Summer I Turned Pretty, which is where Sean and Minnie (presumably) cross paths for the first time.
In honor of Sean's 22nd birthday, Minnie posts a photo dump on Instagram and refers to him as her 'best friend'...except the two look like waaaay more than friends in the photos. Cue the romance speculation.
Right around the same time, actress Nikol Tsvetanova includes a pic of Sean in a photo dump (see slide 7). More on why this matters in a minute.
Minnie posts a poem she wrote to the 'gram, and in her caption, she thanks her 'dearest friend' Sean for giving her the confidence to share.
After months of speculation, Sean goes Instagram official...with someone else. At the end of 2022, Sean drops a bunch of photos on IG, which including one of himself with his arm slung around Nikol (swipe to slide 2):
Not long after, Nikol confirms their 'ship with a (since-deleted) photo of herself and Sean looking very coupley with the caption, 'An ode to love.'
Minnie posts a tribute to her TSITP character Shayla on IG and includes a couple sweet pics of herself and Sean (as well as the hashtag #stevenandshaylaforever). Ahem:
During a red carpet interview, Sean mentions that he has a 'girlfriend,' likely referencing Nikol.
While it's unclear when/why Sean and Nikol split, fans begin to suspect something going on between him and Minnie again after they took a trip to Cancún with Sean's TSITP costar Christopher and his girlfriend Isabel (who—fun fact—was once roommates with Minnie).
Soon after, a source for the Daily Mail confirms Sean and Minnie are 'together and very happy.'
Sean and Minnie attend the SANDRO Fall/Winter 2025 Collection Preview in NYC, and Sean shares a cute pic from the event to his Story.
The maybe-couple sees BLACKPINK at Citi Field and even grab a photo with Lisa.
The two go on what *looks* like a double date with Christopher and Isabel at a NY Liberty Game.
Sean and Minnie STILL haven't confirmed whether they're really an item, but the evidence is pretty compelling, no?? Stay tuned for more updates as we have 'em.

Jenna Jameson Shows How Little She's Changed Since Teen Years: 'This is me at 16 vs 51'
Jenna Jameson Shows How Little She's Changed Since Teen Years: 'This is me at 16 vs 51' originally appeared on Parade. Jenna Jameson is looking back on her roots. The former adult film star, 51, took to Instagram earlier this week to post a side-by-side photo of herself as a teenager and in the present day, and it was pretty clear that the TV personality and entrepreneur hasn't changed all that much. "So blessed to have made it to 51 (it's not my birthday). This is me at 16 vs 51. I'm certainly a lot older, but oddly enough… I'm gentler now," the star captioned the photo. As a teen, Jameson had the typical mega-bangs and hairspray-afflicted hair of the period, while current-day Jenna features long blonde hair that reaches her belly. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Back in March, PEOPLE reported that Jameson and her wife Jessi Lawless were getting divorced. The couple married in 2023. "She tried to rekindle the relationship multiple times but I was unwilling to entertain her advances," Lawless said in a statement to PEOPLE. "She moved around several times staying with a friend in Chicago and then with another friend in California and then she was in Las Vegas for a little while, but she was hard to keep up with so getting her served was challenging."Jameson is mom to three children with her exes, Tito Ortiz and Lior Bitton. "I try to go over in my mind why I ever dated or married men, and it's selfish and bad to say, but I think my driving force were children," Jameson previously told PEOPLE. "And now that I've really found myself, I'm just accepting of everything that I feel inside and don't shove everything down."Jenna Jameson Shows How Little She's Changed Since Teen Years: 'This is me at 16 vs 51' first appeared on Parade on Aug 15, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Aug 15, 2025, where it first appeared.

Rich Brian Returns (Rather Introspectively) With 'WHERE IS MY HEAD?'
Summary WhileRich Brian's internet presence hasn't wavered in the past six years, his solo music output has – and his just-as-online fanbase hasn't let him forget that in his Instagram comments. Taking a lengthy hiatus after his last longform release –1999in 2020, which was preceded by sophomore albumThe Sailorin 2019, and his 2018 debut,Amen –Brian has been busy in the interim. As he returns to the scene with his new project,WHERE IS MY HEAD?,it's clear the88risingartist has spent the last few years deep in the depths of developing not only his artistic vision, but also navigating his psyche, the 15-track album a vessel for all of his discoveries along the way. Having done a lot of looking inward in the past years – even up until the past few months, as he delayed the album due to feeling 'incredibly inspired by the people, places, and sounds' around him – the genre-traversingWHERE IS MY HEAD?not only marks the most introspective release from the candid artist, but also what he believes to be his best. 'Went absolutely nuts on the production for all the songs, some of my fav lyrics and storytelling work I've done so far,' he wrote in an Instagram caption in which he also shared that he wrote most of the album 'in a room by [himself], as 'it just felt too personal to do any other way.' Also signalling his most ambitious and honed-in longform drop,WHERE IS MY HEAD?revolves around a sharp, two-character concept, in which Brian plays both Movie Brian and Maestro Brian, the latter an alter-ego who scores for the former, his on-screen persona. Right from the jump, the first track, 'Senja' – which translates to 'Dusk' in Indonesian – kicks off (and closes out) with an Indonesian intro, laying the groundwork for Brian to lay down his verse. As for the features, the close-to-home collection of music sees contributions from a considered bunch of artists. 'Every feature on this album has been so organic, from the making of the song, to thinking 'wow ___ would sound crazy on this' to me dming them with 0 expectations and having them actually respond n come through and some even willing to take notes & direction from me,' the musician reflected on Instagram, ultimately choosing to tapToro Y Moi,Ski Mask The Slump God,Maxo Kream,redveil,Charlotte Day Wilson, DAISY WORLD and Kurtis Wells to offer their hand to the heartfelt soundscape. 1.
