JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers can count themselves among the success stories to come out of Bachelor Nation.
The couple met and fell in love during season 12 of The Bachelorette in 2016. The reality stars had a long engagement before finally setting a wedding date in June 2020. However, the coronavirus pandemic delayed their plans.
Amid the wait for their nuptials, Fletcher’s season re-aired as part of The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons — Ever! Turns out, Rodgers had never seen their televised love story, so the special event gave him an opportunity to walk down memory lane.
“When I first got the call from our producers, I think I got this pit in my stomach. I was like, ‘No! We have to rewatch this?’ I don’t know why I had initially felt that, but like there was like a sense of anxiety,” Fletcher exclusively told Us Weekly in June 2020. “I think I got really lucky the first time around because Jordan didn’t watch my season. He’s like, ‘I don’t need to see that!’ But now he’s like, ‘I’m super excited to watch!’ I’m like, ‘Oh, great. Four years later we’re gonna rehash all this?’”

Anaconda viewers were in for a surprise when Jennifer Lopez popped up in a scene with the new movie’s star Jack Black.
“Are you Doug McAllister? You directed the unauthorized version of Anaconda even though you didn’t have the rights?” Lopez, 56, said in social media footage of the film, playing an exaggerated version of herself. “I saw your little movie, and I loved it. That’s why I’m here.”
She continued, “I’m here because we’re doing another Anaconda, and I want you to direct it. Are you in?”
Black’s character, Doug, fainted before he could respond.
Lopez famously starred in 1997’s Anaconda opposite Jon Voight, Ice Cube and Owen Wilson. The horror flick followed a documentary crew’s adventure in the Amazon after they were forced to help a snake hunter (played by Voight, now 86) hunt a giant anaconda.
In Black’s recently released version of Anaconda, two friends (played by Black, 56, and Paul Rudd) attempt to remake J. Lo’s movie. Their filmmaking journey, however, takes an unexpected turn when they encounter an actual snake.
“I had some slight snake trauma in my teen years,” Black told USA Today earlier this month of overcoming his fears to star in the new film. “A snake got loose in my house, and we found it hours later, slithering out of my mattress. It snuck into a hole in the mattress, and ever since then, they haunt my dreams.”

“That’s a complicated scene. There’s a lot of different angles and movement and energy,” Black recalled to the outlet. “The running through the grass on uneven terrain, that’s all hard, but the hardest part is none of those things. Pretending to be terrified for long stretches of time is so exhausting. That’s really the hardest part, weirdly.”
He added, “This is going to sound dumb, and I’m going to wish I didn’t say this, but people don’t understand how difficult acting can be. If you’re acting [with] extreme emotion, it’s frigging exhausting.”
Lopez’s OG version of the movie was also filmed in the jungle.
“You notice how there’s always a rat scene in movies? I hate that,” Lopez said in a 1997 interview for Anaconda, noting other film scenes were much easier than if she worked with mice. “It was my first time [in the Amazon] and I can’t say I’ll be going back to film. It was a tough thing to film, being on water all day.”
“You get water-logged, and you’re in your shower and you feel like you’re on the boat,” she quipped. “You’re, like, ‘Is the floor moving or is it me?’ … It wasn’t an easy job, but it was fun and we had a good time. We had a great cast.”
Lopez even praised Voight for managing to pull off “being entertaining and funny while still being threatening.”
“I really like the character,” she added.
Anaconda is currently in theaters.

Alexa, 31, shared photos of the pair’s festivities to her Instagram Stories on Thursday, December 25. In the pics, their daughter, Vienna, wore themed holiday pajamas and sat in front a mountain of wrapped presents.
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.
