Love Is Blind season 3 stars Alexa and Brennon Lemieux celebrated Christmas together amid their ongoing divorce.

After opening her gifts, Vienna cuddled up to dad Brennon, 35, for another social media pic.

Alexa and Brennon, who got married in June 2021 after appearing on season 3 of the pod experiment, announced their separation earlier this month.

“After much reflection and many heartfelt conversations, we have made the difficult decision to end our marriage,” a joint Instagram statement read. “This choice was not made lightly, and it comes with a great deal of care, respect, and appreciation for the time we’ve shared.”

They continued, “We entered this relationship with love and optimism, and we leave it with gratitude for the experiences that shaped us and the growth we each gained along the way. While our journey as a married couple is coming to an end, we remain supportive of one another, devoted to our daughter, and committed to navigating this transition with compassion.”

Alexa and Brennon further stressed that they planned to keep Vienna, who was born in July 2021, their “top priority” moving forward.

While Brennon has not publicly addressed the couple’s separation, Us Weekly confirmed that he filed for divorce on November 5.

“The marriage has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities between [Brennon] and [Alexa] that destroys the legitimate ends of the marriage relationship and prevents any reasonable expectation of reconciliation,” his filing read.

Alexa responded to Brennon’s motion nearly one month later, denying his claims and requesting a disproportionate share of the pair’s estate over “fault in the breakup of the marriage.”

In the weeks since their legal back-and-forth, the pair have been focused on Vienna’s first holiday season. Alexa, who identifies as Jewish, celebrated Hanukkah with her little girl earlier this week.

“It’s the last night of Hanukkah, and we want to make some latkes,” Alexa said in a Sunday, December 21, Instagram video, noting the potato pancake recipe once belonged to her grandmother. “I’m going to modify the recipe just a bit since it’s just me, baby girl and dad having latkes tonight. Normally I make them for a whole load of people, but tonight it’s just the three of us.”

While Alexa didn’t clarify whether Brennon celebrated Hanukkah with her, she further explained why it was important to share traditions with their daughter. (Alexa and Brennon previously planned to raise Vienna as an interfaith couple.)

“Life has been a little crazy, to say the least, the last few weeks,” she added. “I’m really glad that we can try and keep some holiday traditions going this year when everything else is just a lot.”

Alexa quipped in conclusion, “While I would tell you not to believe everything you read online, you can believe these are damn good latkes.”

Alexa and Brennon met and got engaged sight unseen in the Love Is Blind pods during 2022’s season 3.

Who Did Pat Finn Play on ‘Seinfeld’? Inside the Late Actor’s Memorable Role

Posted on by admin

Airtel Malawi

Pat Finn was a beloved character actor and one of his most memorable roles was on Seinfeld.

Finn appeared in the season 9 episode titled “The Reverse Peephole,” which aired in 1998. Finn played the group’s friend Joe Mayo. In the episode, Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld), Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) and George (Jason Alexander) are looking for a housewarming present for Joe and the trio decide on a massage chair.

George decides he wants to save a few bucks, so he buys the piece of furniture from Delaware. However, the chair does not arrive in time for Joe’s party, so the group shows up empty-handed.

While at the get-together, Elaine becomes in charge of the coats after being embarrassed by on-and-off boyfriend David Puddy’s (Patrick Warburton) fur coat. Elaine secretly throws out the fur coat but later learns it was actually Joe’s coat that she tossed. Joe demands that Elaine get him a new jacket.

Actor Pat Finn Is Survived by Wife Donna Crowley Finn: What to Know

Following the party, the massage chair is delivered to George’s house by mistake. George is suffering from back pain so he delays giving his friend his gift so he can use it instead.

As Elaine is figuring out how to get Joe’s coat back to him, Kramer (Michael Richards) tells her that Newman (Wayne Knight) found the piece of clothing. Elaine goes to Newman to try to convince him to give her the coat but he had already given the item to the wife of their landlord, Silvio (Jon Polito), whom Newman was having an affair with.

Silvio later learns about the affair and threatens to evict Newman and Kramer over it. Kramer attempts to save himself by telling Silvio the coat belongs to Jerry. After Jerry goes along with the ruse, Elaine finds him wearing Joe’s coat and asks him why he is wearing the item. Silvio then believes Joe is responsible for the affair and vows to get revenge on him. The episode ends with Silvio ambushing Joe with a sock of pennies.

Before landing the role, Finn and his wife, Donna, were big fans of the comedy. During a 2021 interview with “This Podcast is Making Me Thirsty,” Finn shared that Seinfeld was playing on the TV when Donna gave birth to their daughter long before he would appear on the series. (The couple share three kids.)

“[Our daughter] was born and Seinfeld was on in the room. So we always knew it was like eight o’clock or whatever. We knew cause Seinfeld was on,” he recalled.

When Finn appeared on the show years later, he gushed about how welcomed he felt by the cast.

“When I was done with the scene, I’d go over to this table in the middle where they had magazines and newspapers and I just stayed there one so I could listen and kind of learn from their rehearsal,” he explained. “And the other [reason] was in case they needed me and I wasn’t too far away so they wouldn’t think I was a snotty actor. The cast would gradually come [over] like Jason sat down.”

Finn added that when someone would sit with him they would get to know him.

‘Seinfeld’ Cast: Where Are They Now?

“It was so nice because they didn’t have to but to be welcomed into any group is nice, especially that group,” he recalled. “You especially want them to be nice because you put them on such a high pedestal.”

Finn died on Tuesday, December 24, following a battle with cancer. He was 60.

“It is with profound sadness and grief that the Finn family announces the passing of beloved comedic actor, Pat Finn,” Finn’s rep said in a statement to the New York Post. “In 2022, Pat battled bladder cancer, went into remission, but the cancer returned and metastasized. He was a warrior in every sense of the word.”

TMZ reported that Finn passed away at his home in Los Angeles surrounded by his family. The actor is survived by wife Donna and their three children.

How ‘Emily in Paris’ Season 5 Honored Assistant Director After Death on Set

Posted on by admin

Airtel Malawi

Emily in Paris offered a solemn tribute to assistant director Diego Borella, who died during production on season 5.

“In memory of Diego Borella,” a title card read at the end of the season finale, which dropped on Netflix earlier this month.

Capital One

Us Weekly confirmed in August that Borella died at the age of 47 while the show filmed scenes in Venice, Italy.

“We are deeply saddened to confirm the sudden passing of a member of the Emily in Paris production family,” a spokesperson for Paramount Television Studios told Us in a statement. “Our hearts go out to the individual’s family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.”

Will There Be ‘Emily in Paris’ Season 6? What We Know So Far

Borella had collapsed while the crew were preparing a scene at Venice’s Hotel Danieli, according to multiple local outlets at the time. In light of Borella’s passing, the show briefly halted production. Lily Collins, who plays the titular Emily, and her costars resumed filming two days later.

Emily in Paris follows an American marketing executive after she moves from the United States to Paris to begin a new job at a luxury marketing agency. By the end of season 4, Emily was tasked with leading a branch of the company in Rome with new love interest Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini) in tow.

After a whirlwind on-off romance, Emily and Marcello traveled to Venice in the season finale for the city’s fashion week — and the debut of Marcello’s eponymous line. Despite a successful presentation, the couple ended up breaking up when Marcello revealed his plans to move back to Italy to assume control of his family’s fashion house. Emily, for her part, wasn’t ready to say au revoir to the City of Lights.

The final episode further hinted that Emily could reconcile with ex-boyfriend Gabriel (Lucas Bravo), who sent her a postcard to “meet [him] in Greece.”

‘Emily in Paris’ Burning Questions Answered After [Spoiler]’s Proposal

“Gabriel is important. He’s part of the DNA of the show,” series director and executive producer Andrew Fleming exclusively told Us about the chances of reconciliation for the fan-favorite pair. “When he and Emily are in a scene together, something undefinable happens. They have this chemistry. They do. There’s just something about the two of them that’s very watchable.”

Fleming further teased that there’s more to Emily and Gabriel’s story if Emily in Paris gets renewed for a season 6.

“Looking ahead, they’re part of each other’s journey. Who is to say who Emily is going to end up with, but Emily and Gabriel are going to interact with each other,” the director told Us. “Stuff is going to happen [but] I really can’t say anything about what’s going to happen next season.”

Bravo’s Gabriel left his job running the Michelin-winning L’esprit de Gigi restaurant to serve as the private chef on a British businessman’s yacht.

‘Emily in Paris’ Season 5 Ending Explained: Who Is Engaged? Who Broke Up?

“We want to go on a journey,” Fleming said of Bravo’s story arc. “At no point was Luke ever leaving the show permanently.”

Bravo, 37, previously had been critical about his onscreen character, leading to speculation about whether Gabriel would be written off the show.

“The ‘sexy chef’ was very much part of me in season 1 and we grew apart season after season because of the choices he makes and because of the direction they make him take,” Bravo told IndieWire in October 2024. “I’ve never been so far away from him. … There is only so much I can do in the limits of a script. I tried for seasons to bring nuances but we don’t have much liberty on set. We cannot change a word or an emotion. They know what they want and we just have to comply.”

Emily in Paris season 5 is currently streaming on Netflix.

Are Summer House’s Amanda and Kyle Still Together? Inside Marriage Rumors

Posted on by admin

Airtel Malawi

Summer House fans have been part of Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula’s relationship from the very beginning — and have weathered every storm with them, including rumors of a split.

While Cooke, 43, and Batula, 34, faced many bumps on their road to marriage since tying the knot in September 2021, they appeared to have mellowed out. That was until earlier this fall when speculation sparked that the couple were living apart amid marriage woes.

Capital One

A source exclusively told Us Weekly in November that Cooke and Batula were still living together — but admitted that they were “going through a challenging time.”

Despite their struggles, the insider said Cooke and Batula are “both committed to making the relationship work.”

Cooke and Batula, meanwhile, have hinted at their recent hardships in teasers from the upcoming season 10 of the Bravo series and online.

Scroll down for everything we know about the pair amid their alleged marriage struggles:

Batula and Cooke butted heads over their future during the season 9 Summer House reunion in May, especially over Cooke’s desire to be a father despite being busy in his career.

“He’s gonna have to be on my page. If he could grow the baby, it could be on his timeline. But it’s happening in this body,” Batula exclusively told Us at the time, noting she was frustrated over how Cooke addressed the topic throughout the season.

She explained, “There was a lot of stuff on this season that was like, him wanting to be a father, and, like, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, but he’s having this conversation with other people, and not the person that’s supposed to carry his child.”

“So if he was actively [saying], ‘Hey, I want to have kids. Like, we should start trying to have kids,’ that would be different,” Batula added. “That’s not a conversation that we’re having.”

She then argued,“[Kyle has] been DJing, he’s gone every weekend. Like, in what world exactly? I know that he wants to be a father one day, but I know he’s not ready. And if he was ready, you know, I think he would be like, ‘I’m ready to have a family.’”

The couple seemingly quieted split rumors — at least temporarily — when they sat next to each other at the “Summer House Always Wins” panel during BravoCon 2025 on November 16.

During the three-day convention in Las Vegas, their Summer House costar Lindsay Hubbard also shut down speculation that the pair hit a rocky spot.

“It’s like any relationship, there’s ups and downs,” Hubbard, 39, exclusively told Us of Cooke and Batula’s dynamic on November 14. “I know that they’re so in love with each other, and they’re very much together. Like, come on.”

Are Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke Living Together?

Batula poked fun at rumors she and Cooke are no longer living under the same roof by showing off her alleged new pad via Instagram.

“Hey guys, it’s taken me a while to talk about this, but I just wanted to confirm the rumors that Kyle and I are living separately. This is my new house,” she said on December 7, panning around a small dark area that was later revealed as a children’s playhouse.

Batula teased, “I just wanted to show you guys. This is my new house. It’s small, it’s kind of all that I can afford.”

The reality star took it a step further, showing off a wreath on the small house, saying, “I decorated for the holidays, I’m really excited. I could really use your support at this time and some privacy while we figure this out. Thanks so much.”

Bravo released the Summer House season 10 supertease trailer on December 8, much of which depicted tension between the only married couple in the house.

“I wanted him to stop going out and partying, and he found a career [as a DJ] where he goes out late and parties,” Batula said in a voiceover while speaking about Cooke’s choice of career.

Cooke proceeded to tell BFF Carl Radke that his wife “couldn’t care less” about his DJ career, confessing, “I don’t know what matters to her anymore.”

Elsewhere in the trailer, Cooke and Batula got into a full-blown fight about their relationship. “You know what I actually think we have an issue with? Compatibility, chemistry, intimacy,” Cooke claimed. “What about that s***?”

During the season 10 Summer House trailer, Batula told pals Hubbard and Ciara Miller that Cooke fell asleep at a fan’s house after one of his DJ gigs and allegedly “came home at 6:30 in the morning.”

“That’s f***ing insane,” Miller, 29, said in response, however, Cooke has since denied his wife’s claims.

“There’s no excuse for staying out as late as I did, but I want to be clear that I did not sleep at a fan’s apartment,” Cooke told People in a statement on December 9. “I was at an event that Amanda chose not to attend, which moved to a bar and then to an after-party.”

He claimed, “I don’t use anything to keep myself wired, so I think I ended up falling asleep on a couch, and suddenly it was almost 6 a.m. Do I regret the situation? Absolutely. But that’s the truth and full extent of what happened.”

Summer House premieres on Bravo February 3, 2026.
