Country singer Jessie Murph brings a PIG as her date as she walks the red carpet at ACM Awards 2025 in Texas
Country singer Jessie Murph stole the show at the ACM Awards 2025 on Thursday when she bizarrely rocked up on the red carpet with her adorable date - a pig. The Pray hitmaker stunned in cotton candy, leopard-print flared trousers and a tasseled top as she cradled the baby piglet, with her dark tresses styled into a '60s-esque beehive updo. The 20-year-old exuded glam as she beamed at the camera, sporting simple silver jewellery and long, baby-pink nails. Talking to Entertainment Tonight before the show, the country singer, who rose to fame after posting vlogs and covers to TikTok, opened up about her pink pet: 'It's a real pig. He's a little guy. His name's Wilbur. 'I just decided that I wanted a pig, and I've always wanted one my whole life. I've always wanted a mini pig, and then I find out that miniature pigs don't exist.' Jessie was nominated in the New Female Artist of the Year category, after her duet with Texan Koe Wetzel, High Road, shot to Number 1 on country radio. The 20-year-old stunned in a baby-pink, leopard-print flared trousers and a tasseled top, with her dark tresses styled into a '60s-esque beehive updo Kassio Ashton, Ashley Cooke, Dasha were also up for the award alongside 'you look like you love me' singer Ella Langley, who ultimately took home the title. Social media users were flabbergasted by Jessie's shocking date. One X user begged the question: 'Please why did Jessie Murphy bring a pig?' Another added: 'Jessie is so real for bringing a pig as her date as men are trash.' Fans crooned after rapper Jelly Roll announced that Jessie had just tried to hand him and his wife the pig on the red carpet. One gushed: 'Cutest thing ever!' Others were less impressed. One YouTube user said: 'Not cool. That poor piggy is probably scared to death.' Hosted by Reba McEntire at the Ford Center At The Star in Frisco, Texas, the ceremony recognised the trailblazers of the country music world. Kelsea Ballerini, Nicole Kidman and Lainey Wilson joined Jessie on the glitzy red carpet. A standout among them was Kelsea, who was nominated for three awards that night - entertainer of the year, female artist of the year and music event of the year. The 31-year-old blonde bombshell smouldered on the red carpet, draping her willowy frame in a flattering nude gown. Her frock featured a low-cut neckline with black fabric, then flowed down into a ruched mesh skirt that billowed back into a train. She wore her hair styled into an elegant updo and aimed an enigmatic smile at the camera. Kelsea attended the event on the arm of her boyfriend Chase Stokes of Outer Banks fame, wearing a black top that plunged to emphasise his bronzed chest. The country songstress, who has raved publicly about her steamy sex life with Chase, clung amorously to him as they posed together on the red carpet. Meanwhile Nicole was action star chic in a sleek black MONSE ensemble that included a sleeveless leather turtleneck and jet-black cargo trousers. She struck a bold pose with her legs wide apart, placing her hands firmly at her sides as if on a poster for an upcoming blockbuster. She hit the red carpet that night in support of her country star husband Keith Urban, who was being favored with a top honor that night. Social media erupted with confusion after Jessie Murph brought out her surprise date Nicole Kidman looked chic in a sleek black MONSE ensemble that included a sleeveless leather turtleneck and jet-black cargo trousers Keith was there to be garlanded with the ACM Triple Crown Award, given to an artist who has over the years won a new artist award, a best male or female artist award and an entertainer of the year award. Nicole was seen standing proudly beside her husband, who matched her in head-to-toe black, leaving a few top buttons beguilingly undone to hint at his chest tattoos. Lainey was the image of timeless country style, with her heavily brocaded jacket, flared trousers, cowgirl hat and long single braid. She has a formidable six nominations that night, including for entertainer of the year, female artist of the year and artist-songwriter of the year. Lainey is also up for song of the year for 4x4xU, her trio with Aaron Raitiere and Jon Decious, for visual media of the year for the single's music video and for album of the year for her latest LP Whirlwind. She was accompanied to the awards show by her dashing fiancé, ex-NFL quarterback Devlin 'Duck' Hodges, who matched her black cowboy hat. Wynonna Judd, who heartbreakingly performed her and her late mother's classic duet Why Not Me onstage that night, put on a brave smile on the red carpet. Reba, back to host the ACM Awards for the 18th time for its 60th anniversary, exuded a simple elegance in a black trousers suit and blouse.

Prince Harry's ex-girlfriend Cressida Bonas shares gushing birthday tribute to her 'dream guy' husband
Prince Harry 's ex-girlfriend Cressida Bonas has shared a sweet birthday tribute to her 'dream guy' husband. The actress and model previously dated the Duke of Sussex for two years from 2012 to 2014, after being introduced by his cousin, Princess Eugenie. However, Cressida reportedly struggled with the intense media scrutiny that came with being involved with a senior royal, with the pressure believed to have caused their eventual split. Since her high-profile romance with Harry, Cressida has largely remained tight-lipped about her personal life with her now-husband Harry Wentworth-Stanley. Today, she gave a rare insight into their life together, as the 36-year-old shared a glimpse into their life together in a sweet Instagram post. Images of the couple throughout the years, and with their son Wilbur, born in 2022, were captioned with the text: 'Happy birthday to my dream guy.' Her post with her husband, a real estate agent and the son of the Marchioness of Milford Haven, presented a picture of serene domestic bliss. Cressida is believed to remain on good terms with Harry and his family, including her long-time friend Princess Eugenie, and even attended her ex-boyfriend's wedding to Meghan Markle in 2018. Cressida met her husband during their time at Leeds University, where they briefly dated before parting ways. After her high-profile relationship with Prince Harry ended, she and Wentworth-Stanley reconnected. Their renewed romance blossomed, leading to an engagement in August 2019. In July 2020, the couple married in a private countryside ceremony, with only close family and friends in attendance. The young couple welcomed their first child, Wilbur, in November, 2022. In January this year, Cressida happily announced she was expecting their second child, conceived via a frozen embryo from earlier IVF treatment. 'I am now well into my second pregnancy,' she said. 'Having conceived through IVF the first time, we were fortunate to have another embryo stored away in a freezer.' The expecting mother revealed that this has been a difficult pregnancy. 'I've been battling morning sickness,' she said. 'I've never had it before, and now feel like I've been swaying on a boat for months.' The couple, who live in west London, are now seeking a bigger home. Cressida says their pet dachshund, Budgie, 'is bound to be unimpressed' by the house move. 'Not only are we uprooting her territory, but there's a new family member on the way and she can sense it.' In 2022, Cressida described how she felt as though 'my body was failing me' after facing difficulties in conceiving, and when a specialist told the couple 'there was nothing fundamentally wrong'. Writing in The Sunday Times, she said: 'I spent time and money on reflexology, nutritionists, acupuncture and psychics…Even a German healer who speaks to angels. I heard nothing, not a squeak. 'My mind was on a constant worry loop and my obsession with getting pregnant became overwhelming. No matter how many Mystic Megs I saw or expensive supplements I took, nothing was working, and I felt as if my body was failing me.' Cressida admitted to 'avoiding' loved one's children's parties due to feeling out of place around her friends who had kids, amid the struggle to have her own. She went on to say that IVF firstly 'frightened' her due to having no 'power' over the final outcome.
