Ashley Biden Caught Husband on Camera with Another Woman and Shared the Photo Hours Before Filing for Divorce
Ashley Biden, the former first daughter who recently filed for divorce from her husband, Dr. Howard Krein, posted a photo that allegedly shows her ex with another woman. "My husband and his girlfriend holding hands," the 44-year-old captioned an Instagram Story alongside a rear-view photo of a man and a woman. She paired the post with the Notorious B.I.G. track "Another," featuring Lil' Kim, a song that narrates an affair. "What do you do when your man is untrue? Do you cut the sucker off and find someone new?" Lil' Kim raps in the portion of the song Biden shared on social media. Ashley's scandalous post has since gone viral. Exposing Her Husband's Affair Ashley Biden X The man with dark hair wearing a casual short-sleeved shirt and the blonde woman in a strapless black dress have not been immediately identified, but Biden's message was clear. On Sunday morning, just hours before she filed for divorce from the 58-year-old plastic surgeon in a Philadelphia court after 13 years of marriage, Biden shared an Instagram Story that was quickly removed. Ashley Biden shared this photo of her husband Howard Krein hand in hand with his girlfriend Instagram Another post, also deleted, featured Biden strolling through a park and giving a thumbs-up while Beyoncé's song "Freedom" played, seemingly hinting at the breakup. Biden — who is an executive director of the nonprofit Delaware Center for Justice — is "unable to support herself" while the divorce is in progress, according to court filings by her lawyer, Charles Meyer. She is seeking a no-fault divorce, stating that the marriage is "irretrievably broken" and that she and Krein are now living "separate and apart," the documents suggest. Ashley Biden with Howard Krein after their marriage X The couple married in 2012 in Greenville, Delaware, two years after meeting through Ashley's late brother, Beau, who died from cancer in 2015. Ending in Regret Krein, a New Jersey native and otolaryngologist at Thomas Jefferson University, proposed to Biden in 2011 while they were in Big Sur, California. They exchanged vows the next year at St. Joseph on the Brandywine Roman Catholic Church in Delaware, blending her customs with Krein's Jewish traditions. Ashley Biden with Joe Biden X After the ceremony, the couple and about 200 guests headed to the Biden family's nearby lakeside home in Wilmington for a reception and dinner. Joe Biden, who was the vice president at that time, personally readied the home for his youngest daughter's wedding. "I kept telling Ash, we've got to open up the church and practice walking up and down the aisle so I can handle it," he previously told People. He was also full of praise for his future son-in-law, saying, "This is the right guy. And he's getting a helluva woman." Ashley Biden with Joe and Jill Biden X From 2017 to 2019, Krein was a member of the Biden Cancer Initiative's board of directors and, in an informal role, advised Joe Biden's 2020 presidential campaign on its COVID-19 response. During last year's Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Ashley Biden reflected on her wedding day and shared the words her father spoke to her before she got married. "Before he walked me down the aisle, he turned to me and said he would always be my best friend. All these years later, Dad, you are still my best friend," she said in an address that brought her father to tears.

Millennial Aunt Plays Iconic Song for Gen Zers—Their Reaction Says It All
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A millennial mom has left internet viewers in stitches after sharing her Generation Z son and niece's reaction to an explicit Y2K-era banger. Stefani Schuetz (@notaregularmomimakewlmom), 37, from Sarasota, Florida, posted a TikTok showing her 18-year-old son Adryan Schuetz and 17-year-old niece Kira Kim reacting to Lil' Kim's explicit 2000 track "How Many Licks?" The video quickly went viral, racking up almost 60,000 likes and thousands more views. "Adryan was absolutely stunned and his jaw dropped; Kira screeched, which obviously you can't hear in the video," Schuetz told Newsweek. "The lyrics continued to shock them line after line, and there was a mix of screaming, cringing and just yelling 'nooooooooo' and 'ewwww'." In the video, Adryan looks visibly embarrassed, burying his face in his hands and shaking his head, while Kira grimaces, shakes her head, and even puts her fingers in her ears at one point. Meanwhile, Stefani sits in the front seat, enjoying the show. A split image of Stefani Schuetz and her son, Adryan, left, and niece, Kira, right, listening to her favorite Y2K anthem.

She said Lil' Kim was a staple in her music rotation growing up, and that the track instantly takes her back to an era when "you could dance to almost every song." Schuetz said that it took "everything in me to not sing the lyrics and dance." She added: "I was literally holding my breath and biting my lip so I didn't sing it. It reminds me of the early 2000s when you could dance to almost every song, and we would run to the dance floor for this one." The teens were reportedly shocked that the song had been played on the radio back in the day. "They had no idea that music like this has been around for over 20 years, which is why my caption read 'Lil' Kim walked so Cardi B could run.' "WAP" was not the first song of its kind," Schuetz said. Cardi B's "WAP," released in 2020, sparked widespread debate for its explicit lyrics—but as Stefani pointed out, provocative tracks like it have been around for decades. Schuetz described the moment as a "mixture of emotions"—a blend of discomfort, nostalgia, and a struggle to keep from joining in. "The discomfort of listening to the lyrics with my son and niece, checking to see if they heard how nasty the lyrics are, and trying not to sing them myself," Schuetz said. Lil' Kim's "How Many Licks?" featuring Sisqó, was released in 2000 as the second single from her The Notorious K.I.M. album. Known for its explicit lyrics and provocative theme, the song details Kim's sexual prowess and preferences. The track peaked at number 75 on the Billboard Hot 100 and helped cement Lil' Kim's status as one of hip-hop's most daring and influential female voices. Its music video was just as bold, showcasing futuristic fashion and tongue-in-cheek visuals that matched the song's raunchy reputation. On TikTok, viewers were quick to relate—and reminisce. "The audacity of me getting mad at my kids for WAP … When this still plays in my truck," shared Anna. "Millennials had the best music ever. Prove me wrong," posted Vanessa. "We had no business knowing every single word in middle/high school," added another viewer. "Lil' Kim and Foxy Brown were dangerous in the 90s," one user commented. "One of the best for sure!! When my teen students start talking about music and asking about what I listen to I'm like 'y'all have NO clue'! I've always listened to a little of everything, but late 90s early 2000s bring back the BEST memories!!!" said another. "I'm singing this in my kitchen. Kids today don't know anything about good music. 90s and 2000s R&B was EVERYTHING!!!" wrote Jill. Do you have any viral videos or pictures that you want to share? We want to see the best ones!

11 Celebrity Outfits You Totally Forgot Existed
Let's take a fashionable (and sometimes questionable) stroll down memory lane. From red carpet chaos to iconic street style, these celebrity looks happened, and you probably haven't thought about them since 2007. (Sheesh, we are old now.) You're welcome. Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake in denim head to toe! (2001) Truly the Romeo and Juliet of Y2K fashion. Denim on denim on... You guessed it, more denim! And a cowboy hat. Nothing says denim like a good ol' YEE-HAW. The early 2000s were truly undefeated. Lady Gaga's meat dress (2010 MTV VMAs) Yes, it was raw. Yes, it was real. Yes, it made literally everyone uncomfortable. Fashion? Art? A trip to the butcher? All of the above. Rihanna's yellow Met Gala dress that took up a city block (2015) This dress had its own gravitational pull. Rihanna didn't just show up — she owned the entire Met, and also possibly the street outside. Katy Perry's Moschino chandelier dress (2019 Met Gala) Honestly, it lit up — what more do you need? If the lights went out, she was there to save the night. She was literally the light of the party. Bonus: she changed into a burger later. Icon. Shia LaBeouf in a paper bag saying "I Am Not Famous Anymore" (2014) Performance art or midlife crisis? Either way, it was a moment none of us asked for but will never forget. Lil' Kim's one-boob-out look (1999 VMAs) This outfit launched a thousand jaw drops. Only Lil' Kim could turn this into a fashion moment—left boob, rightfully famous. Left Shark took some notes on how to be relevant. Zendaya's Joan of Arc look (2018 Met Gala) She looked like she walked straight out of a medieval runway show, and honestly, I'm still not over it—Joan of Slay, tbh. Doja Cat dressed as a literal cat (2023 Met Gala) She meowed in interviews. She committed to the bit. This wasn't cosplay — it was a catwalk in every sense. Here, kitty, kitty. CeeLo Green at the 2017 Grammys dressed like a gold Power Ranger Nobody knows why. Nobody asked. And yet, it lives rent-free in our minds. He looked like he was about to drop an album and conquer the galaxy. Honestly, I thought he'd be the green Power Ranger... Miley Cyrus in a barely-there latex two-piece (2015 VMAs) Somewhere between alien and space cowgirl, this look proved that pants were so 2014. She's got confidence, baby. Post Malone in a pink nude suit covered in fringe (2019) Fringe, rhinestones, and chaotic energy. If Dolly Parton and a bottle of Bud Light had a fashion baby, it'd be this.

BET Awards 2025 best and worst moments, from Mariah Carey song debut to Jamie Foxx's tears
Hear this story The 2025 BET Awards brought out the biggest musicians, actors and athletes to celebrate Culture's Biggest Night on a grand stage that stood in stark contrast to the besieged Los Angeles outside its doors. Some of the 25th anniversary highlights included high-profile appearances by the likes of Mariah Carey, Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dog, Lil' Kim, Lil Wayne and the "106 & Park" hosts. But not every moment of the Kevin Hart-hosted evening was a hit with viewers. "Queen of rap" Lil' Kim divided social media when she joined Honey Bxby to perform during the preshow. Afterward, during his opening monologue, host Kevin Hart took aim at two formerly lauded hip-hop icons who were notably not in attendance: Sean "Diddy" Combs and Ye. Read on for the highs and lows of the evening. BET Awards winners list: Every winner of the night, including Doechii Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle. Jamie Foxx vows to make good on second chance in emotional speech Jamie Foxx, one of the night's Ultimate Icon Award recipients, got emotional during his tribute and speech. His daughters Corinne Foxx and Anelise Bishop, and Foxx's sister Deidra, teared up as he took the stage and thanked God for his second chance at life, following his near-death medical emergency in 2023. "At a certain point, I'm going to stop crying, but I'm not going to stop yet," Foxx said. Music legend Stevie Wonder introduced Foxx's award and corresponding musical tribute, cracking multiple jokes about being blind and Foxx's Oscar-winning turn as fellow blind musician Ray Charles in "Ray." Babyface, Ludacris, Tank, Jennifer Hudson, T-Pain, Doug E. Fresh and Teddy Riley took to the stage to perform some of Foxx's biggest hits. Jamie Foxx cries: Actor expresses gratitude for health, credits daughters for recovery Mariah Carey debuts 'Type Dangerous,' teases 2005's 'It's Like That' Any time Mariah Carey is on stage is something to celebrate – and there was a surprise cameo by Rakim, to boot. She promoted her upcoming album with her first live performance of "Type Dangerous" before she returned to the stage later to officially accept the Ultimate Icon Award. After the "Queen of Christmas" – precariously balancing on some sky-high Louboutins – delicately made her way down a set of shallow steps with a backup dancer, she shed her coat and glimmered center stage in her strappy gold minidress. Keeping her movement minimal, Carey let her voice do all the gymnastics. In a treat to the audience, Carey closed out with her 2005 hit "It's Like That." Out of breath Lil' Kim, Ying Yang Twins struggle through preshow performances With the BET Awards celebrating 25 years of iconic moments, the network used the preshow stage to highlight some of the hip-hop OGs with the Ying Yang Twins and Lil' Kim sharing the stage with up-and-comer Honey Bxby. But while some fans were glad to see their returns, others criticized the artists for their out-of-breath performances. The Ying Yang Twins rapped a medley of their greatest hits, including "Wait," "Get Low" and "Say I Yi Yi," while Lil' Kim popped up for a verse on "Left Eye." Kevin Hart's BET Awards opening monologue joked about Diddy, Ye As Combs' criminal trial enters its sixth week, Hart alluded to the music mogul as he joked about why the award show was happening on a Monday night. Hart called for "no afterparties" on a work night and said those are were things get "slippery, at them god damn afterparties." After dropping the reference to Combs' propensity for baby oil, Hart added, "We're learning a lot about people, ain't we?" The "Ride Along" star also snuck in a jab at Ye – formerly Kanye West – when he pretended to receive a text from the rapper. "Yep, he says he's out front. He's waiting for somebody to invite him in. Hey, don't do it." "We all saw the movie 'Sinners'; don't let his ass in here so he could bite somebody, so he can bite Playboi Carti again, OK?" Hart went on. "Nobody let Kanye in, no! Not tonight!" Hart's joke possibly alluded to the since-disproved theory that Ye and his wife Bianca Censori were turned away at the Grammys earlier this year. B2K, Bow Wow, Amerie headline '106 & Park' tribute BET's music video countdown show "106 & Park" was also honored for its 25th anniversary at the awards ceremony with previous hosts from Free to Terrence J taking the stage to introduce a slew of performers who made their bones on the early aughts program. The crowd cheered and sang along as the stars took the stage: Ashanti, Jim Jones, Amerie, Keyshia Cole, Mya, T.I., B2K and Bow Wow with Jermaine Dupri. Ashanti took fans back with "Foolish" and "Rock Wit U," Keyshia Cole crooned "I Should Have Cheated," Amerie and Mya kept the energy high with "1 Thing" and "Case of the Ex," and B2K got the audience screaming for "Bump Bump Bump" (also invoking Diddy, who was featured on the original song, which R. Kelly wrote). Jim Jones kicked off the high-energy hip-hop from the segment with "We Fly High (Ballin')," T.I. dropped "Bring Em Out" and "What You Know" and Bow Wow rapped "Like You" and brought out Dupri for "Fresh Azimiz." Snoop Dogg returns to the stage after Trump inauguration backlash Snoop Dogg accepted his newly minted status as a BET Ultimate Icon with an eight-minute medley that brought out the greatest hits from his 30-year career. Joined by a group of backup dancers, the Southern California-born rapper started with songs like "Drop It Like It's Hot," "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang" and "The Next Episode," brought out Charlie Wilson midway through for a rendition of the Gap Band's "Outstanding" and closed out with some help from Warren G and Kurupt for "Ain't No Fun (If the Homies Can't Have None)." But some social media users weren't so eager to see Snoop on their screens. In recent months, the 53-year-old rapper and businessman has faced backlash for performing at the Jan. 17 Crypto Ball in Washington, D.C., celebrating President Donald Trump's inauguration. In May, he took on his critics directly when he released his album "Iz It a Crime" and accused people of "playing with my reputation." Contributing: Anika Reed, USA TODAY
