The couple were seen leaving their hotel and hopping into a taxi en-route to the event at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, which raises money for HIV/AIDS research. At the fundraiser, the couple looked happier than ever as they struck up a series of loved-up poses on the red carpet. The couple first confirmed their relationship on the red carpet for The Accountant 2 on April 16. A few days later, they made their romance Instagram official with a series of photos of them hiking in the desert and attending red carpet events. Jason was previously linked to German model Marie-Lou Nurk, but the couple went their separate ways in May 2023 after 10 months together. At the time, he told 'I'm just enjoying kind of taking a step back from dating. I'm not eager to be back into a relationship or anything serious. 'I'm just enjoying my time right now. I'm genuinely happy. I'm not really dating.' Jason and Marie-Lou's relationship had featured heavily in Selling Sunset's seventh season, which was released in the November.

'While we still love and care about each other very much, the distance between us has proven to be too great a challenge to overcome,' the statement read. 'We remain close friends and continue to talk often and support each other and we want the very best for one another. 'We thank everyone for their support throughout our relationship.' This year's Cannes Film Festival is taking place in the wake of US Ppesident Donald Trump's vow to enact tariffs on international films. Cannes, where filmmakers, sales agents and journalists gather from around the world, is the Olympics of the big screen, with its own golden prize, the Palme d'Or, to give out at the end. Filmmakers come from nearly every corner of the globe to showcase their films while dealmakers work through the night to sell finished films or packaged productions to various territories. But Trump sent shock waves through Hollywood and the international film community when he announced on May 4 that all movies 'produced in Foreign Lands' will face 100 per cent tariffs. The White House has said no final decisions have been made. Options being explored include federal incentives for US-based productions, rather than tariffs. This year, some of the first-time filmmakers at Cannes are already particularly well-known. Kristen Stewart (The Chronology of Water), Scarlett Johansson (Eleanor the Great) and Harris Dickinson (Urchin) have all unveiled their feature directorial debuts in Cannes' Un Certain Regard sidebar section. Many Cannes veterans have returned, including Tom Cruise (Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning), Robert De Niro - who received an honorary Palme d´Or 49 years after Taxi Driver premiered in Cannes - and Quentin Tarantino, who paid tribute to low-budget Western director George Sherman.

Florida woman sued for taking over NYC co-op in trendy neighborhood and trying to sell it for $1.4M — but blames city official for scheme
A Florida woman took over a co-op building in trendy Williamsburg, illegally pocketed rent and even tried to sell the building for $1.4 million, a new lawsuit claims. But phony landlord Jessica Vargas claims she did nothing wrong because a city official told her ownership of the squatter-infested building was 'good to go' before she allegedly collected nearly $450,000 from the low-income co-op. 'A thief?' Vargas told The Post. 'That's not who I am — I've always been honest.' Vargas was named in a lawsuit this week filed by state Attorney General Letitia James, seeking to take the building's title back, and pushing Vargas to pay the co-op back. Vargas, the suit contends, created multiple false documents to claim ownership of 13 Scholes St., a three-family limited-equity co-op building known as an HDFC, turning the supposedly affordable building into 'a Floridian's personal piggy bank,' James said in a statement this week. 'Jessica Vargas declared herself president of a building she had no claim to, exploiting New Yorkers for her personal gain while living over a thousand miles away,' James said. But Vargas said that she only inherited a situation her late father created — and that after he died in 2018 a since-retired city official told her everything was kosher. Her lawyer, Alexander Levkovich, said Vargas is innocent, and called the suit 'a significant overreach.' The suit states that Vargas, 41, who grew up in the building with her family and now lives in a Tampa suburb where she works as a data specialist, 'has engaged in repeated fraudulent acts' and must return $442,000 in rent that should have gone to the co-op. The building owes over $40,000 in city property taxes. Vargas said the money she netted — $6,500 in monthly rent paid by a developer-owned LLC her father signed an agreement with before he died — was used to support her siblings and legal fees for the building, not to make her rich. 'I've been living in the same house for over 20 years,' Vargas said. 'I have no fancy cars. I have nothing — nothing. They say: 'Wow, yeah, she came into a lot of money.' No, I'm just doing what I have always been doing since I was 5-years old: taking care of my siblings.' Her father, Albert Rivera, first claimed ownership of the co-op's shares in a document containing only his and his wife's signatures, which the lawsuit said is fraudulent since it lacked signatures from the other shareholders. Vargas said that when the other shareholders died, their shares transferred back into the HDFC and her father, an idea that James' office said flies in the face of basic estate law. Court documents include an affirmation from a shareholder's estate claiming their shares were never transferred to Rivera. Rivera signed a 2017 lease agreement with an LLC held by developers, giving them reign over the building and an option to buy for $1.4 million, as long as they paid a rent of $6,500 a month. But James' office said that lease agreement was void, since any tenant would have to meet strict income criteria with shareholder approval. Even if the lease were legitimate, that money was meant for the co-op, not Rivera's or Vargas' pockets, the office contends. When Rivera died, Vargas, as administrator of her father's estate, continued to collect the money and presented herself as the building's sole owner through several alleged false documents filed with city agencies — including a fraudulent stock certificate claiming sole ownership, according to James' filings. Vargas told The Post that following her father's death, she met with an HPD official, whom her father allegedly met with years ago and had approved the lease. She showed him 'everything that I had' related to the building, and that the official 'said I was good to go…He told me to put down that I'm the owner,' Vargas said. An email from her father in December 2016 states that he met with the official and noted that 'HPD cannot give anything in writing' in regards to his ownership claim. The Post was unable to reach the official — whose name is being withheld — to verify any of Vargas' claims. HPD confirmed that the official no longer works at the department and that they have no records of any meetings with Vargas or Rivera. The spokesperson added that the LLC lease would not be permissible due to HDFC restrictions, and that the HDFC was never dissolved. Vargas' dealings have left the co-op in debt — including $41,479 in unpaid property taxes and a $3,000 water bill — as she collected at least $442,000 in unreported income from the building, the suit alleges. When the AG's office first opened its investigation over a year ago — spurred by questions of ownership raised during a suit to remove alleged squatters who took over the long-vacant building in 2023 — they asked Vargas to produce documents showing her ownership and the dissolution of the HDFC. Vargas told The Post she had cooperated fully, but officials said Vargas failed to produce any evidence that her claim was legitimate. Then the AG's office offered a deal: if Vargas dropped her claims to the title, prosecutors wouldn't go after the allegedly stolen funds. Vargas rejected the offer. 'The benefit of Jessica entering into this agreement would have been strictly for the AG to pretty much take over the property,' said Levkovich, Vargas' attorney. Vargas said she's been 'nothing but honest,' and that if HPD told her there was a deficiency in the title, she would have followed whatever they told her to do at the time. An AG spokesperson said the lengths Vargas went to prop up her false tale of ownership, including an allegedly false stock certificate, contradict her claims of not knowing better. Levkovich said they'll have to start a gofundme to pay for the 'significant resources to defend the suit.' 'I can't sleep,' Vargas said. 'Being accused of stealing something? That's not me — I've always been honest.'
