'I didn't grow up with dogs and, in fact, had been afraid of dogs since I was little as I got bit twice as a young girl,' she wrote. 'After I had kids, I knew I didn't want to pass my fear of dogs along to them, so we got two small dogs — that weren't too scary ;).' She added: 'What I didn't know was how much fun having little furry friends adds to family life. 'I loved watching my kids chase our dogs around or dress them up or just cuddle up together on the couch,' Crawford wrote. 'And as my kids grew older, and our dogs too, their friendly presence continued to bring joy to our lives.' She also revealed Widget's sister, their other family pet Sugar, previously died too.

'I'm going to miss you Widget I love you so much and I'm going to hold you're [sic] spirit close to me forever fly high angel.'

Kaia Gerber & Lewis Pullman Fuel Romance Rumours With Date Night

(Photo by Gilbert Flores/Variety via Getty Images) It seems Kaia Gerber has swiftly moved on following her quiet split from Elvis star Austin Butler. Over the past few months, the model/actress has been sparking whispers of a budding romance with another actor, Emmy-nominated actor Lewis Pullman. The pair were recently seen attending a performance of The Picture of Dorian Gray on Broadway, starring Succession 's Sarah Snook. But it wasn't just the Wildean drama drawing attention. 'They are definitely together,' an eyewitness told Page Six , adding that Gerber rested her head on Pullman's shoulder throughout the show. The latest date night spotting follows a more subtle debut: Gerber's appearance at Pullman's birthday in Los Angeles this January. Photos (see here) from the celebration show the model holding the actor's arm affectionately, fuelling early speculation. 'They've been spending time together the last few weeks,' a source told People . 'They're a cute couple and very low-key.' So, who is the man catching the 23-year-old's eye? Pullman, 32, is also a Hollywood legacy—son of actor Bill Pullman and dancer Tamara Hurwitz—but, like Gerber, has carved his own path in the industry. After breakout roles in Top Gun: Maverick and Lessons in Chemistry , Pullman is riding a wave of critical acclaim, earning Emmy and Critics' Choice nominations in 2024.

He seemingly has a type, too, having previously dated Rainey Qualley, daughter of actress Andie MacDowell. Gerber and Butler began dating in late 2021 and only called it quits towards the end of 2024, according to TMZ .

(Photo by John Shearer/WireImage) While the signs point to something quietly blossoming, Gerber and Pullman have yet to confirm their relationship. Although, considering the Bottoms star and Butler famously made their red carpet debut at the 2022 Met Gala after less than a year of dating, it's safe to say we may not be waiting too long for an official update.

Kaia Gerber faces harsh criticism after being cast in TV series based on Bret Easton Ellis's The Shards
Kaia Gerber came under fire after landing a major role in the highly anticipated TV adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis's The Shards. The 23-year-old model, who is the daughter of supermodel Cindy Crawford, has faced nepo-baby backlash after being the first star to be named for the project, which is being developed by FX. Ryan Murphy is producing the series while his frequent collaborator Max Winkler will direct. Murphy has been a major player in pushing Kaia's acting career, casting her in two seasons of his popular American Horror Story franchise. Despite her rising profile in the acting world, some fans have taken issue with Kaia scoring a spot in The Shards. One social media user said: 'Has she had acting lessons? Because she was awful in American Horror Story.' Another added: 'And who will do the acting?? This nepo baby Kaia Gerber can't act to save her life.' 'Ryan Murphy with his obsession with non-talented nepo babies like Kaia Gerber and Kim Kardashian,' a third chimed in. However, most of the criticism towards the project seemed to be aimed at Murphy himself. Before FX and Murphy took over The Shards, HBO and Oscar-nominated director Luca Guadagnino were supposed to turn Ellis' hit novel into a series. After Guadagnino left the project, Norwegian filmmaker Kristoffer Borgli signed on to direct and executive produce, with Ellis set to write all the episodes. Borgli left the series for unknown reasons, and then Murphy rescued it from 'development hell', according to World of Reel. Ellis said on self-titled podcast that he'd been 'frustrated' by the process. A source told World of Reel that Ellis would be 'far less involved' in The Shards now that FX and Murphy had taken over the series. Fans on social media were disappointed to hear about the changes in production, with one writing: 'The Shards originally being Luca Guadagnino's on HBO and now it's Ryan Murphy's on FX... beyond upset.' 'Wasn't going to drink tonight but Ryan Murphy is turning The Shards into a TV show and I want to die,' added another. An adaptation of The Shards has been garnering buzz in Hollywood since 2023, when Ellis's book was first released. Not only was the semi-autobiographical novel a commercial success, it was also one of the writer's most acclaimed books in years.

Backlash as 'nepo baby' Kaia Gerber lands major role in Hollywood's most anticipated TV series
Kaia Gerber could be Hollywood's next big thing after landing a major role in the highly-anticipated TV adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis' The Shards. The 23-year-old, who is the daughter of supermodel Cindy Crawford, is the first star named for the project, which is being developed by FX and is based on American Psycho author Ellis' novel, which came out in 2023. The sexually-charged thriller, which is set in 1981 and loosely based on elements of Ellis' life, follows a group of privileged prep school teens as they navigate sex, drugs, and a serial killer in Los Angeles during their senior year of high school.

From there, she went on to star in Apple TV's Palm Royale and can currently be seen in Amazon's hit teen dramedy, Overcompensating.
