Anna Kendrick and Alex Edelman spotted on casual date as romance heats up
Anna Kendrick and her boyfriend Alex Edelman were seen enjoying a laid-back outing in Burbank, California, over the weekend, marking one of their first public appearances since news of their relationship surfaced. The Pitch Perfect star and the Emmy-winning comedian kept things simple as they grabbed takeout from the popular Porto's Bakery before heading to another nearby store. Dressed casually in jeans and matching white T-shirts, the couple looked relaxed and cheerful, walking side by side and sharing smiles. Their outing comes shortly after a source confirmed to PEOPLE that the pair has been dating for several months. According to the insider, Kendrick has already met Edelman's mother, and they celebrated his birthday together in March. Though the actress is known for being intensely private about her personal life, those close to her say this relationship seems more than casual. 'They enjoy date night at low-key restaurants that are not your typical celeb hangouts,' the source shared, describing a romance that values privacy over fanfare. This is Kendrick's first public relationship since her breakup with actor Bill Hader in 2022. Previously, she was linked to director Edgar Wright and cinematographer Ben Richardson. While Kendrick has stayed quiet on her romantic life, her recent appearances with Edelman suggest she's ready to be seen, just not at Hollywood hotspots. As of now, neither Kendrick nor Edelman has made any public comment on their relationship.

Porto's Bakery moving forward in Downtown Disney, replacing Earl of Sandwich
The long-awaited Porto's Bakery & Cafe is one step closer to serving up its pastries, cakes and famed potato balls for visitors heading to the "Happiest Place on Earth." Disney filed demolition permits this month for the building that previously housed La Brea Bakery in Downtown Disney just steps away from the entrance to Disney California Adventure and Disneyland. The site, which currently houses Earl of Sandwich, will be the future home of the seventh Porto's Bakery location in Southern California.

In 2023, at least 27 million visitors streamed through the shopping district known as Downtown Disney to enter Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, according to an annual report by the consulting firm Aecom and the Themed Entertainment Assn. Porto's Bakery, which started in a small space in a Silver Lake strip mall in 1976 as an extension of founder Rosa Porto's business in Cuba, has been a beloved institution in Los Angeles for decades. Lines at the bakery's six locations frequently snake out the doors on weekends and its yellow boxes stuffed with pastries often make appearances on flights out of Los Angeles. Hundreds of fans swarmed Buena Park when the Cuban bakery opened its first Orange County location in 2017. The permit filed with the Anaheim Planning and Building Department calls for tearing down the 2,610-square-foot bakery and restaurant and removing two theme park ticket booths. The utilities will be capped and the foundations removed on each site, according to city records. It is not clear when the Porto's Bakery location in Anaheim will open its doors.
