'Cobra Kai' stars confirm relationship with engagement rings at Netflix red carpet
Two stars of the Netflix series "Cobra Kai" confirmed their romantic relationship for the first time Wednesday night — with engagement rings. Tanner Buchanan and Mary Mouser posed together at the show's series finale event in Los Angeles, each flashing sparkly rings on their left ring fingers. Many fans were confused upon seeing the photos, some wondering if the couple was married. Netflix posted a photo of them together Thursday, confirming that the actors are engaged. It was a shocking revelation for even some of the show's most loyal followers, because while many suspected the two might be a couple, they'd never confirmed to the public they were dating. Buchanan and Mouser shared a joint Instagram post after Netflix's confirmation, writing that they were "so happy" to finally share the news. "This is such a special moment in our lives, the closing of one chapter and celebrating the continuation of another," the caption said. "We're so grateful for the love and support, and though we're partial to having our private moments, we're excited to share this check-in to our world." Fans on social media celebrated the "hard launch," with one X user stating it was the best they'd ever seen. The actors' friendship was well-known, as the two have had parallel career trajectories for years. Both Buchanan and Mouser were on Disney Channel as kids and even guest starred on the same ABC Family show, "The Fosters." The two have also been vital members of "Cobra Kai," Netflix's revival series inspired by the famed "The Karate Kid" film series. Mouser plays Samantha, daughter of the movies' original protagonist Daniel LaRusso. Buchanan stars as Robby Keene, whose father Johnny Lawrence played the villain in the first film. Though their characters aren't together in the long term, Samantha is the center of a love triangle with Robby and another character during "Cobra Kai" season two. The show is celebrating the final installment of its sixth and final season, which premiered Thursday.

"I Was Doing A Lot Of Drugs": Noah Centineo Opened Up Getting Sober For A Year During The Height Of "To All The Boys"
This post contains mentions of substance abuse. When To All the Boys I Loved Before hit Netflix in the summer of 2018, the stars Lana Condor and Noah Centineo were virtually catapulted to household names overnight. Netflix To All the Boys movies marked some of their earliest major roles. Lana had previously only appeared in X-Men: Apocalypse, while Noah had guest-starred on several TV shows and starred on The Fosters. For Noah, landing the role of Peter Kavinsky was the culmination of years of hard work, as he had started auditioning in Hollywood when he was around 8 years old. Now, looking back on his time in the To All the Boys series, Noah is opening up about how it also marked a period of personal growth for him as well, namely a period in his life when he realized he needed to get sober. While promoting Season 2 of his Netflix series, The Recruit, Noah swung by the Chicks in the Office podcast to discuss playing an action hero, how his life completely changed after To All the Boys, and his relationship with sobriety. "By the time I did To All the Boys, I had not been through my, like, rage phase. I got sober when I was 21 from everything for about a year. And that was kind of that whole To All the Boys phase," Noah told Chicks in the Office hosts Ria Ciuffo and Fran Mariano. Speaking about this time in his life, Noah said, "I was so unhappy. I was able to pay my bills for the first time. I was like completely financially stable and secure. I was working regularly. And I was doing a lot of drugs. I wasn't doing anything crazy, but I was just doing drugs a lot and drinking all the time. Every day. And I was young. I was 20 years old. And I had been doing that for a couple of years." In an interview with Harper's Bazaar in 2020, Noah detailed his drug use more in detail. He said he tried "everything," saying, "There wasn't really much I wouldn't do. I never, ever injected anything, which is good. I smoked a lot of things. I was really upset, man. It was a really dark time in my life." Noah told the outlet that his use of drugs was during a wild period in his life from around 17 to 21, where he and his friends were partying nearly every night. He said he and his friends liked to "take Molly and talk for five hours and like get to the bottom of some really deeply philosophical existential questions." He continued, saying, "So, I had a career that I was proud of. I was making enough money to pay my rent and put a little bit away. And, so, you would think I should be super stoked and super happy, and I just wasn't." Netflix Noah said what ultimately led him to realize he needed to get sober from drugs was that one day, the world "just looked different," and it felt like "something had kind of broken a little bit." He said it "scared" him and he realized that he "needed to dry out [and] sober up." He added, "I just wasn't a happy person. When I grew up, I was a very happy kid, and I lost that. So I needed to find that." He did add that he was completely sober for about a year but then "kind of went back to drinking a little bit, but I never really partied." Noah continued, saying, he realized that being totally sober at certain points was "like a superpower." He added, "You sleep better. You're more focused. You're more accountable. You hold yourself far more accountable if you have to prepare for something. It's not like you're hungover, and you're tired, and you can't really remember your lines because you're hungover." "You got to really confront things, too, if you're not just drinking. If you're drinking, you don't really have to care about things. It's a good way to numb yourself or self-medicate. So you've got to confront things, and then you have to find healthier ways to deal with those things," he told Chicks in the Office. Noah said regularly working out has been a good outlet that has helped him. He told the podcast, "If I'm in those phases, like right now, I'm in one of those phases where I'm just not really doing anything; you've just got to work out. Work out and just connect with yourself, and try to take care of yourself as best as you can cause life's trippy." Both Ria and Fran commended Noah for realizing that he needed to get sober and look at his use of drugs. He told them, "You've got to want to. You've got to be in a place where you truly have to decide. That's why sobriety and addiction they're such tough things." Noah concluded, saying, "Unless the person of interest wants it for themselves, it's very hard to make someone do it. And I think what led me to it was I just I was lucky enough to ask the question, 'Why was I so happy when I was 11 or 12? And what changes have I made since then that have led me to be so unhappy? What was I doing? What was my daily life like at that age?'" He added, "And I just went, Okay, I'm going to replicate that. And yeah, it helped. It helped substantially." A clip for Noah talking about his sobriety on Chicks in the Office has already racked up almost two million views on TikTok, with the top comment reading: "Love that so many celebrities are talking about sobriety it's beautiful." Barstool / Chicks in the Office / Via Another top comment read, "Wow I had no idea. So proud of you noah!" And someone else chimed in, writing, "Damn, he's incredibly inspiring, being that young and making that decision." Several users also shared their own sobriety journeys in the comments. One person wrote, "This is beyond relatable. Almost 8 months sober and I cannot stress enough how unhappy I was covering my sorrows with alcohol or smoking." And another added, "I'm not going sober but I just RARELY drink. Like maybe one drink in 4 months and I am so much happier without it."
