Taylor Swift ‘Deeply Saddened’ by Hayden Panettiere’s Sudden Death After Their Surprising Connection

/

Taylor Swift was “deeply saddened” by the sudden death of Hayden Panettiere at 36, according to a source who spoke exclusively to Page Six.

The singer and actress shared a friendly connection that began when both lived in the same Nashville apartment complex.

“Taylor and Hayden were always friendly with each other and had a really nice rapport,” the source said.

“They lived in the same apartment complex in Nashville for a while and would cross paths from time to time.”

The insider said Swift was shocked after learning Panettiere had died. “She was deeply saddened to hear what happened.”

Both stars lived at The Adelicia in Nashville while Panettiere was in Tennessee filming the ABC series “Nashville.” Swift, 36, purchased a penthouse in the building in 2009.

Panettiere moved into the complex in 2012 after relocating to the city for the show. Their time as neighbors eventually resulted in a memorable favor from Swift.

During a 2012 appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Panettiere recalled that she was preparing for a songwriting session with songwriter Jessi Alexander. However, the actress discovered that she had left her guitar in her trailer.

Panettiere contacted several women to ask whether anyone had a guitar she could use.

“Finally, Taylor Swift came through for me.”

Two of Swift’s security guards brought the guitar down to Panettiere. The actress also had to complete a form before borrowing it.

“It was very intense,” Panettiere said of the unusual process.

Swift also discussed her connection with Panettiere while promoting her “Red” album in 2012. The Woody & Jim Show asked the singer during an interview whether she watched “Nashville.”

“Well, Hayden is a friend of mine and she’s my neighbor actually,” Swift responded during the interview. She also recalled their humorous first meeting.

“I remember the first time I ever met her, she came up and she was like, ‘I just need you to know, my character is not based on you.’ It was so hilarious,” Swift said.

According to the source, the warm feelings between Swift and Panettiere extended in both directions. Panettiere reportedly remained supportive of Swift throughout the years.

“Hayden always spoke very highly of Taylor and was supportive of her, and there was always a mutual respect between them,” the insider told Page Six.

The pair also encountered each other beyond their shared Nashville apartment building. The source said the pop superstar and the Golden Globe nominee “saw each other at different events over the years and always got along really well.”

Among those occasions was the Teen Choice Awards on July 22, 2012, where Swift and Panettiere were photographed together. Representatives for Swift or Panettiere did not respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

Panettiere died Sunday in Greenville, South Carolina, her family confirmed. Authorities went to a South Carolina Airbnb that day following a report of an unresponsive woman in cardiac arrest after a suspected overdose.

An incident report obtained by Page Six said efforts were made to save Panettiere, but they were unsuccessful. Her cause of death has not been officially determined.

The coroner is awaiting toxicology results before determining the cause and manner of Panettiere’s death. Her father, Skip Panettiere, announced the tragic news in a statement shared by the family.

“It is with profound sadness that we share the tragic passing of our beloved Hayden,” he said.

He described his daughter as “an incredible light and a force of nature” who brought immeasurable love and joy to those who knew her and the millions who watched her onscreen.

Skip asked for privacy as the family processes what he called an “unimaginable loss.” Panettiere is survived by her 11-year-old daughter, Kaya, and her parents.

‘Harry Potter’ Actress Calls OnlyFans Move ‘Embarrassing’ Despite Massive Payday [WATCH]

‘Harry Potter’ Actress Calls OnlyFans Move ‘Embarrassing’ Despite Massive Payday [WATCH]

/

“Harry Potter” actress Jessie Cave has admitted that joining OnlyFans felt “embarrassing,” even though the platform ultimately delivered a major financial lifeline for her family.

Before opening her account, Cave had been struggling to make ends meet while raising four children, as reported by Page Six.

During an appearance on the British daytime television show “This Morning” on Thursday, the actress discussed the financial pressure she faced after appearing in the successful “Harry Potter” franchise.

Cave portrayed Lavender Brown, Ron Weasley’s first girlfriend, in the final three films.

Despite that recognizable role, Cave said the public had a mistaken impression of her financial circumstances. “People just assume I’m rich and I have loads of money, but no, I don’t,” she said.

The smaller acting roles Cave accepted following “Harry Potter” did not provide enough money to keep her family afloat.

Discussing those difficulties publicly was uncomfortable because of the assumptions attached to her involvement with the films.

“It was embarrassing because, on a certain level, I would have really liked to get a job, but you know what it’s like [when] you have kids … it costs so much for childcare,” Cave explained during the television appearance.

Cave, 39, shares four children with her partner, comedian Alfie Brown. She described her OnlyFans work as a “weird job,” but said she “couldn’t really have done anything else” while also raising their family.

Before turning to the subscription platform, Cave took on various jobs to support herself.

She explained that consistent employment can be difficult to find in acting, even though she had managed to continue working and supporting herself for many years.

“I have managed to keep afloat for 18 years,” Cave said. “And then, it just came to a moment a couple of years ago where I was like, ‘Oh yeah, I really don’t know what I would do,’ and this was an option.”

Cave announced her OnlyFans launch through Instagram in March 2025. Rather than offering general material, she created a page focused specifically on hair content, which she described as a “fetish.”

“It’s niche, even for me,” Cave wrote in the Instagram caption announcing her decision. She then invited followers to participate, adding, “Join me on this strange new journey.”

The unusual venture soon produced far more money than Cave had initially expected. Earlier this month, she revealed that she earned £15,000, or just over $20,000, during a single day on the platform.

Cave told the UK Times that the amount was greater than everything she had earned from acting during an entire year. She charges subscribers $6 each month and said the income has “genuinely saved [her family’s] lives.”

Her original expectations for the account were considerably more modest. “I thought I’d make five grand, be on it for a few months, and it would buy me time to work out what we’re going to do,” Cave told the outlet.

Although Cave initially had reservations about signing up, her perspective on the platform has since changed.

She said she discovered “so much beauty” within the “fascinating world” of OnlyFans and appreciated the unexpected connections it offered.

“You’re engaging with people that you would never usually speak to all around the world,” Cave said.

The “Black Mirror” actress also credited the experience with improving her confidence as a woman after always feeling “very awkward [and] very weird.”

The financial boost has supported more than Cave’s immediate family expenses.

She also said on “This Morning” that the OnlyFans income has helped fund her work as an artist while she continues to perform one-woman shows.

Michelle Rodriguez Recalls Hollywood Feeling Like the ‘Devil’s World’ After Religious Upbringing [WATCH]

Michelle Rodriguez Recalls Hollywood Feeling Like the ‘Devil’s World’ After Religious Upbringing [WATCH]

Michelle Rodriguez has worked in entertainment for more than 25 years and appeared in dozens of movies, including eight “Fast and the Furious” films.

However, she admitted that her religious upbringing deeply affected how she viewed Hollywood when she entered the industry, as reported by Page Six.

Rodriguez discussed that experience during a 25th anniversary screening of the 2001 original in Los Angeles on Monday.

The actress explained that her Jehovah’s Witness background made the entertainment business feel completely removed from the world in which she had been raised.

“I came from a Jehovah’s Witness background at the time,” Rodriguez, 48, said at the screening, according to People magazine.

Her beliefs influenced how she understood the significance of Hollywood and the opportunities suddenly surrounding her.

“So it’s like none of this really means anything to me,” she said.

Rodriguez described herself as a young person who was not affected by the excitement attached to the industry because she believed she was already entering what she considered the “devil’s world.”

Before being cast as Letty Ortiz, Rodriguez had appeared in only two independent films, “Girlfight” and “3 A.M.”

Her arrival in the street racing franchise therefore came while she was still learning about acting and the entertainment business.

“I was just getting introduced to what it is to be an actor in New York,” Rodriguez told People magazine. She also credited Vin Diesel with noticing her work in “Girlfight” and seeing a place for that type of character in “Fast.”

“And then I think Vin [Diesel] had seen ‘Girlfight’ and he really liked the character and wanted that character to be his girlfriend in ‘Fast,’” Rodriguez said.

She ultimately joined the film as Letty Ortiz, the girlfriend of Diesel’s character.

Although her strict upbringing left her largely unconcerned about the movie itself, Rodriguez became enthusiastic about the activities that came with the role.

The physical and action-focused parts of the production held far more appeal for her.

“I really loved being able to get in a car, train, learn how to shoot guns, learn how to race cars,” she told People magazine.

Those experiences offered her the opportunity to perform actions that were not permitted in ordinary life.

“To me, that was the exciting thing,” Rodriguez explained.

“Doing things that you weren’t allowed to do in real life. Break windows, be violent, all that stuff.”

“The Fast and the Furious” follows an undercover police officer played by the late Paul Walker. His character infiltrates a street racing gang led by Diesel’s character, placing Rodriguez’s Letty Ortiz within the central group.

Rodriguez has previously spoken about the intensity of her childhood and the restrictions connected to her religion. In 2020, she addressed that upbringing during an appearance on Facebook Watch’s Red Table Talk.

“I mean, birthdays and celebrating Halloween are like evil,” she explained at the time. The restrictions also affected the entertainment she was permitted to watch while growing up.

“I didn’t get to watch Disney movies ‘til I was in my teens because of all the witchcraft,” Rodriguez said. Her comments illustrated how beliefs about celebrations and fictional magic shaped her childhood experiences.

Rodriguez offered another stark assessment in a 2015 interview with Interview magazine.

She said the religion “kind of scarred me for life” and described feeling as though she was living a “double life” while going door to door with her family.

“Sometimes I’d knock on the door of somebody I was going to school with, so it was like living a double life,” she admitted.

“At school, I was this tomboy kid who just loved to hang out with her friends and learn curse words, trying to fit in with the cool kids and defending all the kids who got picked on.”

Dua Lipa Kicks Off Birthday Weekend in a Luxe Leopard Print Gucci Bikini

Dua Lipa Kicks Off Birthday Weekend in a Luxe Leopard Print Gucci Bikini

/

Ahead of her 31st birthday on Saturday, Dua Lipa started her birthday weekend in Ibiza, where she enjoyed the sunshine with her family. Naturally, the “Levitating” songstress brought an unmistakably luxurious fashion lineup to the getaway, as Page Six reported.

Lipa was photographed strolling along the beach in a leopard print Gucci bikini and matching miniskirt. The bikini retails for $850, while the coordinating miniskirt carries a $1,150 price tag.

The singer kept the animal print theme at the center of her vacation look while piling on accessories from several luxury labels. Her additions included square-frame sunglasses and kitten-heeled thongs from Gucci.

Lipa also wore four-figure Chrome Hearts hoop earrings, taking the total cost of her outfit to nearly $13,000. Even that eye-watering sum did not account for everything she carried during the outing.

The Grammy winner completed the ensemble with a croc-embossed fall 2026 Chanel bag. That particular accessory is not yet available for purchase, meaning its price was not included in the nearly $13,000 outfit total.

Her beach stroll was only part of the birthday weekend fun. Paparazzi also captured Lipa lounging aboard a yacht and leaping into the surf during the family getaway.

The singer was joined in Ibiza by her sister, Rina, and her brother, Gjin. The siblings spent time together as Lipa approached her Saturday birthday and soaked up the sunny setting.

Lipa shared her affection for the destination in an Instagram carousel from the trip. “There’s no summer without touching my favourite island at least once,” the frequent jet-setter captioned the upload.

The carousel gave fans another look at the vacation and revealed more of the pieces Lipa had packed. Her wardrobe extended well beyond the pricey leopard print Gucci combination photographed on the beach.

Among those additional pieces was a bikini from With Jéan featuring a mix of striped and dotted patterns. The playful swimwear added another bold print to the singer’s collection of getaway looks.

Lipa also packed a beaded Chanel necklace with an especially whimsical detail. The necklace featured a faux pearl crab pendant, continuing the playful seaside touches seen throughout her Ibiza wardrobe.

A pair of baggy blue Palace board shorts also appeared in the Instagram upload. The relaxed shorts offered a different silhouette from the coordinating Gucci miniskirt she wore with her leopard print bikini.

Ibiza followed another sunny destination on Lipa’s itinerary. The singer traveled to the Spanish island after taking a girls’ trip in Italy, where she displayed still more enviable vacation outfits.

During the Italy trip, Lipa wore a dazzling beaded Isabel Marant dress. She also stepped out in a lace-trimmed Chloé tank top with matching bloomers, adding yet another designer combination to the mix.

Her vacation accessories did not stop with the Chrome Hearts hoops, Gucci sunglasses, Chanel necklace, and unreleased Chanel bag. Lipa brought no fewer than four different pairs of statement earrings from Chanel.

The Chanel earring selection included designs shaped like coral and crabs. Those ocean-inspired pieces fit alongside the faux pearl crab pendant that appeared on her beaded necklace.

Between the Gucci outfit, multiple pairs of Chanel earrings, Palace board shorts, and other designer pieces, Lipa had plenty to carry during her travels.

Fortunately, that supersized Chanel bag was part of the birthday weekend wardrobe.

Don Lemon Roasts Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Over UK Comeback [WATCH]

Don Lemon is poking fun at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle following their shocking decision to move back to England. The former CNN journalist urged the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to settle on what they truly want, as reported by Page Six.

Lemon, 60, reacted to headlines about the couple’s bombshell choice in an Instagram video shared Wednesday. Looking stunned by the news, he asked his followers, “What? What is going on here?”

The journalist chided Harry, 41, and Markle, 45, for heading back across the pond after publicly discussing their unhappiness. He referenced the attention surrounding the couple and their viral interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Lemon described the return as happening “after all that consternation, after all that stuff y’all put us through.” His reaction mixed disbelief with teasing as he questioned the dramatic reversal.

Still, Lemon made clear that he was not entirely against the couple. He said he is “rooting” for the pair and “the interracial of it all,” before quipping, “Come on, make up y’all’s mind.”

The former CNN journalist also claimed that he had “predicted” the relocation. However, his original expectation was that Harry would separate from Markle and return home by himself.

Instead, Lemon noted that both the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are now expected to make the move. “There’s a twist,” he mused.

“They’re both going back now. … That’s gonna be a little bit of drama. I wanna know what Kate [Middleton] is gonna say.”

Lemon then turned his attention to Kate Middleton and Prince William’s estrangement from Harry and Markle.

He suggested that their response to the couple’s return could become another dramatic part of the story.

The journalist continued discussing the surprising development on the social media platform the following day.

This time, he asked what he called the “legitimate question” of “what changed” and led the couple to return.

“This is somewhat shocking,” Lemon said while reflecting on their previous comments. “They told the world exactly how unhappy they had been inside that institution.”

Lemon also criticized “complaining” haters who were angry about the planned relocation. At the same time, he suggested that Harry might not want Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to inherit the feud affecting the family.

He acknowledged that returning to England will not “magically repair” Markle’s and Harry’s relationships with Harry’s loved ones.

However, Lemon offered a more sympathetic assessment of how family dynamics and personal priorities can develop over time.

“Families are complicated. People get older. Priorities change. Sometimes you realize winning the argument isn’t nearly as important as getting your family back,” he said.

Page Six hears that Harry’s decision to return to his homeland was motivated by a desire to live closer to his father, King Charles III.

That reported family consideration comes as questions continue about what prompted the dramatic change.

Additionally, a royal insider said Prince William’s inner circle believes “money and inheritance are part of the calculation.”

The source described suspicions about what Harry and Markle may hope to accomplish by returning while Charles remains King.

“There is a suspicion Harry and Meghan … want to re-establish their position, influence and proximity to the monarchy while Charles is still King. … They see this as an attempt to get a foot back in the door before William is the one deciding how firmly that door is closed,” the insider explained.

The return could also mark a professional change for Markle. Multiple reports surfaced Friday claiming that she is eyeing a return to her acting career once she is back in England.

For Lemon, however, the immediate question remains how the couple went from describing their unhappiness to planning a return.

His social media commentary combined mockery, surprise, and some support as he waited to see how the move would affect their strained family relationships.

Prince Harry and Meghan Reportedly ‘Self Deporting’ Back to U.K. Amid Disillusionment with Trump [WATCH]

Prince Harry and Meghan Reportedly ‘Self Deporting’ Back to U.K. Amid Disillusionment with Trump [WATCH]

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly preparing to move back to the United Kingdom after spending several years in California. Reports say the decision was driven by their “disillusionment with the current White House.”

The BBC, citing reports from The Telegraph and The Sun, said the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will relocate with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

The family is expected to live at a private residence outside London.

Their children will also reportedly be enrolled in a British school come September.

King Charles III has been informed about the planned move and reportedly welcomed the news.

Despite the return to the United Kingdom, the couple is not expected to reclaim its previous place within the working royal family.

Fox News reported that the relocation will not alter Harry and Meghan’s existing royal status.

“The move is not expected to change Harry and Meghan’s royal status. They reportedly have no plans to resume duties as working royals and will remain private individuals,” Fox News reported.

People linked the reported move to the couple’s concerns about the political climate in the United States.

The outlet said Wednesday that the change comes amid Harry and Meghan’s “disillusionment with the current White House.”

The timing also places the decision against the backdrop of the coming midterm elections.

“With the midterm elections fast approaching, concerns about the direction of the U.S. loom large for many,” People said.

Public tension has previously emerged between the Sussexes and President Donald Trump.

WATCH:

In January 2026, Trump said NATO allies “stayed a little back” from the frontlines during the war in Afghanistan.

Harry, who served in combat during the Afghanistan War, responded with a direct statement about his own experience.

“I served there. I made lifelong friends there. And I lost friends there.”

Trump later discussed Meghan during remarks to royal biographer Robert Hardman in May. “Boy, what she’s done to that guy [Harry],” Trump said.

As the couple reportedly plans its return, royal author Simon Vigar suggested that Harry and Meghan could eventually establish a “hybrid version” of royal involvement.

Such an arrangement would allow them to support relatives without formally returning as working royals.

“Harry did think that there was a hybrid version that they could do. And I think, in years to come, there will be a hybrid version. I think he’s right. There has to be a hybrid version of this where people don’t get accused of cashing in but can support their cousins or their brother or whatever,” Vigar said.

Vigar also described the arrangement the Sussexes previously believed might be available to them.

It would have combined their business and private lives with limited periods spent supporting the royal family in the United Kingdom.

“The [Sussexes] thought they could have a hybrid role of having a business life and a private life, while also spending a few months in the U.K. supporting the queen.

Harry believed that was an option, which was whipped away from him,” he added.

Neither Harry nor Meghan has visited the United Kingdom since Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in 2022.

They left royal duties in 2020 and moved to Montecito, California.

Their relationship with the royal family became estranged as the couple discussed their grievances in public interviews.

Even so, their reported relocation would bring them and their children back to Britain without restoring their former public roles.

Kinsey Schofield, host of YouTube’s Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered, drew a distinction between Harry supporting his relatives privately and representing the monarchy publicly.

She also noted that the monarchy has continued with a reduced group of working royals.

“There’s always room for Harry to support his family privately as a son and brother,” Schofield told Fox News.

“That’s very different from supporting the monarchy publicly as a working royal. The monarchy has successfully adapted to a smaller working team.”

Holly Robinson Peete Rips Hayden Panettiere’s Mom’s Reaction to Actress’ Death: No ‘Integrity’

/

Holly Robinson Peete backed Gayle King’s scathing criticism of Lesley Vogel’s reaction to the death of her daughter, Hayden Panettiere, as reported by Page Six.

The former “Talk” cohost took aim at Vogel’s statement about the actress and questioned whether her words showed any integrity.

Peete shared King’s remarks through X on Wednesday and said the journalist was “not wrong” to condemn Vogel’s response. Vogel had described Panettiere as a “talented” artist who was “on the wrong path.”

Peete wrote, “We know this young lady clearly had so many issues, but if you’re not gonna take accountability for the fact that you put her in the business that eventually messed her up then nothing you say has any integrity.”

The 61-year-old also focused on what she believed was missing from Vogel’s public statement. Peete wrote, “She didn’t even say, ‘I will miss my daughter’ or ‘I loved my daughter the best way I could.’ Has she even mentioned the word daughter?”

Peete then referenced Hayden’s brother, Jansen Panettiere, who died in 2023. She continued, “There were so many things she could have said to show us that she was a caring mother … and now both of her children are gone.”

The actress concluded her message by writing, “It is all so tragic ,” followed by “rip Hayden.”

Her remarks reinforced King’s frustration with how Vogel addressed her daughter’s death.

King, 71, voiced that frustration during “CBS Mornings” and criticized Vogel, 70, for failing to follow the example set by Hayden’s father, Skip Panettiere. Her reaction centered on the stark difference she saw between the parents’ public comments.

Skip remembered his daughter as an “incredible light and a force of nature.” Hayden suffered an apparent overdose in South Carolina.

Vogel was estranged from Hayden when the actress died. She wrote, “I think Hayden was an amazingly talented person in so many departments.”

Vogel also addressed the difficulties that young people can encounter while growing up in the entertainment industry. Her statement described that environment as a struggle and a very challenging industry, while saying it was not unusual for young performers to sadly find the wrong path.

She additionally blasted Hayden’s on-again, off-again boyfriend, Brian Hickerson. Brian and his brother, Zach Hickerson, were at the scene when the Golden Globe nominee died.

After reading Vogel’s words to viewers on Wednesday, King delivered a cutting response. She quipped, “Thanks, Mom, for nothing.”

King then said, “It makes me so sad of the opportunity that you have after your daughter’s death. That that’s what you choose to leave us with.”

Her co-hosts agreed with the criticism. Vladimir Duthiers called Vogel’s statement “unseemly,” adding, “You would hope a mother’s instinct is just mourn your daughter.”

Three months before her death, Hayden promoted her memoir, “This Is Me: A Reckoning.”

The book described her strained relationship with Vogel, her struggles with alcohol and opioid addiction, her abusive romance with Brian and other parts of her life.

Vogel criticized her “entitled” child’s memoir in May and explained that she had chosen to stop contact with the “Nashville” alum.

She told Page Six that parents of children in entertainment were familiar with watching the destructive paths their children sometimes chose.

Hayden addressed the estrangement in an interview with Us Weekly at the time. She said, “We don’t have a relationship right now. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t leave the door open for the opportunity to present itself one day.”

Anna Faris Reveals Sobriety and Says She Stepped Back From Drinking to Stop Sabotaging Herself

Anna Faris revealed that she “stopped drinking” while discussing a recent change in how she views her career and the people who recognize her.

The actress spoke about her sobriety during a Thursday appearance on Chelsea Handler’s “Dear Chelsea” podcast, as reported by Page Six.

The “Mom” alum said she stopped feeling “ungracious” about her career as a comedic actress “only in the last year.” Faris explained that she has begun noticing and appreciating the reactions she receives from people who recognize her.

She said those people would usually smile while thinking about something ridiculous she had done onscreen. Her observation prompted Handler to ask whether the change in her outlook could be connected to her decision to stop drinking.

“Do you think that has to do with not drinking?” Handler asked. She continued, “Because I know you stopped drinking. Maybe that lit that a little bit.”

Faris, 49, agreed with Handler and described her changed mindset as “one of the many gifts” of sobriety. She also said that, for her, there was a correlation between drinking and depression.

The “Scary Movie” star explained that she needed to step back from drinking so she would not sabotage herself. However, she did not provide more details about her sobriety or identify exactly when she began abstaining from alcohol.

Faris also credited hormone patches with helping her mental health, saying they “made a huge difference.” Her representative did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment about her remarks.

Although Faris has not previously discussed her drinking in interviews, she portrayed a newly sober single mother on the CBS series “Mom.” She appeared on the show from 2013 to 2020 before leaving one season ahead of its conclusion.

During a June appearance on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, Faris said she departed because of the show’s “intensity.” She acknowledged that her ability to remain focused had started to change during what she described as a difficult period.

“I started to lose my focus,” Faris recalled during that interview. She added, “I never had a job besides waitressing for over three months before. … It was a complicated time.”

Faris did not discuss the award-winning series during Thursday’s conversation with Handler. Instead, she offered rare comments about her two divorces and characterized her marriage to Michael Barrett as “third time is a charm.”

Reflecting on her previous marriages to Ben Indra and Chris Pratt, Faris said she needed to better understand how she wanted to receive love. “As lame as it sounds, I needed to understand how I wanted to be loved, how I received love. I don’t think I did that very well,” she said.

The actress also shared details about Jack, the 13-year-old son she shares with Pratt. Faris described him as “solid as a tugboat emotionally” and said he is not “easily jarred.”

Faris said Jack is religious and has asked her to accept Jesus Christ. She told him she would do anything for him, including that, while making clear that the subject would require many more conversations between them.

“He is religious. He’s asked me to accept Jesus Christ. I told him I would do anything for him, including this, but it’s going to take a whole lot of conversations. He’s impressive,” Faris said.

She also said she challenges Jack by asking him questions about his beliefs and religious figures. Faris expressed appreciation that he is examining religion and beginning to recognize what she characterized as hypocrisy.

“We’re getting there. I’m appreciative that he’s examining religion the way he is in terms of starting to recognize hypocrisy,” she explained.

Faris gave birth to Jack in 2012 and split from Pratt five years later. Pratt has since welcomed three more children with his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger: daughter Lyla, 6, daughter Eloise, 4, and son Ford, 1.

Rob and Michele Reiner’s Children Testified Before Grand Jury That Indicted Brother Nick for Murder

/

Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner’s children Jake Reiner and Romy Reiner testified before the grand jury that indicted their brother, Nick Reiner, in connection with the murders of their parents, as reported by Page Six.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office confirmed to People on Wednesday that Nick’s siblings appeared before the jury. However, the content of Jake and Romy’s testimony is not currently known.

A representative for the Reiner family did not immediately respond when Page Six requested comment about the siblings and their involvement in the grand jury proceedings.

Page Six obtained the unsealed indictment on Aug. 12. That same day, Nick pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder with the special circumstance allegations of multiple murders and murder by means of lying in wait.

The allegation involving lying in wait means the 32-year-old could face life in prison without parole or the death penalty. His murder case is continuing through the court system.

A pretrial hearing has been scheduled for Sept. 15, nine months after Rob and Michele were slain inside their home. Rob was 78, while Michele was 70.

The couple married in 1989. According to their December 2025 death certificates, both Rob and Michele died of “multiple sharp force injuries.”

Nick was arrested within hours of the killings. He remains behind bars at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles while awaiting trial.

Authorities initially charged Nick with two counts of first-degree murder. He pleaded not guilty to those charges in February and faces a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole or the death penalty.

Jake, 35, and Romy, 28, addressed the deaths of their parents in a statement released days after the killings.

They described what happened as a “horrific and devastating loss,” but did not mention Nick in the statement.

Jake later wrote about the tragedy in an April essay published on Substack. In the essay, he noted that Nick was “at the center” of what happened to their family.

Nick has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and has struggled with drug addiction. Jake also described the extent of the family’s loss and the difficulty of processing the violence surrounding it.

“We lost more than half of our family that night in the most violent way imaginable. It’s almost too impossible to process,” Jake wrote in the essay.

Romy has not yet publicly discussed the tragedy in detail. Earlier this month, however, she joined Jake in honoring their late mother and father at a Los Angeles Dodgers game.

The siblings paid tribute to Rob and Michele by throwing the first pitch at the game. Their appearance came as the criminal case against Nick remained ongoing.

Nick was most recently in court on Aug. 17 over his request to access his $1.5 million trust. He sought the money to pay court fees and purchase commissary items while incarcerated.

Nick has spent $200,000 on legal bills so far. However, trustees blocked his effort to obtain access to the trust, with the financial steward citing the “slayer statute.”

The statute prevents a “person who feloniously and intentionally kills the decedent” from receiving “property, interest, or benefit under a will of the decedent, or a trust created by or for the benefit of the decedent.”

Nick’s lawyer challenged the attempt to use the statute while the murder case remains unresolved. The attorney emphasized that Nick has entered not guilty pleas and has not been convicted.

“The slayer statute requires a determination, not a mere accusation. Nick is presumed innocent and has been convicted of nothing,” Nick’s lawyer said.

The Sept. 15 pretrial hearing will follow the indictment and Nick’s Aug. 12 not guilty pleas. Meanwhile, Jake and Romy’s testimony before the grand jury remains undisclosed.

Shia LaBeouf Shares Alarming Drinking Update Months After Mardi Gras Brawl [WATCH]

Shia LaBeouf continues to “drink alcohol daily” following his drunken Mardi Gras arrest in February, according to documents obtained by TMZ Thursday.

The update comes after the actor pleaded guilty to three counts of misdemeanor battery in June, as reported by Page Six.

LaBeouf was sentenced to two years’ probation and ordered to attend an alcohol treatment class. However, the documents state that he denied mental health treatment and reported that he “drinks alcohol daily.”

The “Transformers” star has complied with requirements to check in with his probation supervisor.

He has also provided proof that he will complete anger management and substance abuse treatment by next month, according to the documents.

His next hearing is scheduled for Sept. 23. A note on the document says LaBeouf will not appear because he is shooting a movie.

The legal consequences stem from an altercation during Mardi Gras celebrations in New Orleans, Louisiana. LaBeouf was arrested in the predawn hours of Feb. 17 after partying for several days straight.

The “Fury” actor was asked to leave a bar in the French Quarter after allegedly becoming too rowdy. Staffers and patrons described him as “inebriated” and “somewhat belligerent.”

Once outside, the 40-year-old allegedly started punching the employee who had escorted him from the bar. LaBeouf eventually left the area, but he later returned.

Multiple people were required to restrain him after his return. When the restraint ended, LaBeouf allegedly struck the same employee in the chest and punched another person in the nose.

Investigators said LaBeouf was restrained again while those at the scene waited for police. Officers arrived close to 1 a.m.

Footage of the altercation showed LaBeouf using gay slurs before striking one of the men with his head. Another video showed the actor being placed into an ambulance.

LaBeouf was taken to a hospital and treated for injuries that were not specified. After he was released from the hospital, he was arrested and booked at Orleans Parish Prison around 4:15 a.m.

The “Holes” star later appeared in court on Feb. 26. He was released on $100,000 bond.

Following his release, LaBeouf discussed the incident during an interview with Andrew Callaghan’s Channel 5.

He made several homophobic comments during the conversation, but acknowledged that he was “wrong for touching anyone.”

The actor has struggled with alcoholism and anger issues in the past. In March, a source close to LaBeouf told Page Six that his continued drinking could lead to a “tragic ending.”

“This guy has got to find a way to get sober or die; eventually this is all going to be a tragic ending,” the insider insisted. The warning followed the February arrest and LaBeouf’s account of what occurred.

The source also expressed sadness over the risks LaBeouf continued to face. “It’s just sad that someone with so much to live for continually puts himself at risk.”

The latest documents now provide an update on LaBeouf’s probation compliance and alcohol use.

While he has checked in with his supervisor and supplied proof concerning his required programs, he also reported that he continues to consume alcohol every day.

LaBeouf is expected to complete his anger management and substance abuse treatment by next month. His absence from the Sept. 23 hearing is attributed in the document to his work shooting a movie.
