Katy Perry Pregnant with Justin Trudeau’s Baby: The Rumor & The Truth

Reading Time: 3 minutes

In recent months, Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau’s relationship has grown increasingly serious.

What began as a joke-prompting dinner date and a random entanglement has clearly blossomed into something more.

Now, a report has come out claiming that the singer is pregnant.

Is this true? Here’s everything that we know.

Is Katy Perry secretly Katy Pregnante?

In February, a bold announcement took social media by storm.

The tweet showed a photo of Perry and Trudeau, one that appeared to show the two decked out in winter gear to enjoy this gorgeous weather.

It was the caption, however, that drew people’s attention.

“Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau are expecting their first child together,” the tweet reads.

As you can imagine, this elicited quite a reaction.

Some bombarded the once-surprising power couple with congratulations.

Others expressed judgement — for having a pregnancy so soon after kicking off their relationship just last summer.

Many of the replies were, as always, filtered by people’s opinions of these famous and famously hot people.

However, others stopped to question the source of the news. And its validity, of course.

Pop Drug, which tweeted the announcement, isn’t TMZ or The Hollywood Reporter or People or even, say, Deuxmoi. Is the pregnancy news even true?

There is no credible evidence to support the pregnancy claim

Katy Perry has not made an announcement to this effect.

Justin Trudeau has not made an announcement to this effect.

No first-to-know tabloids — the sorts of well-connected operations that directly contact verified sources or might get tips directly from hospital staff or employees of celebrities — have made a report.

We’re not even seeing lesser-known sites claiming to have harder-to-verify reports to this effect.

Could Perry be pregnant? Sure, probably. In her early 40s, it would be a geriatric pregnancy, but probably possible. But possible doesn’t mean that it’s happening.

It is pretty important for everyone to vet their reports a little more closely.

Even if you aren’t familiar with a publication, most will cite their sources — allowing you to trace a rumor back to its origin.

We here at THG will discuss entertainment news rumors like this one and provide all of the information that we have on hand.

In fact, it seems that way may have inspired this apparent social media prank was simply the above Instagram post by Perry.

“Let love be the revolution,” she wrote alongside a series of photos — some featuring Trudeau.

Not every bit of disinformation has a motive

Obviously, there are times when people flood social media with fake news to rot people’s hearts and minds to win elections or promote a business or wage a smear campaign.

But people will also just post brazen lies (or unproven rumors) on social media for its own sake.

Some people are pranksters at heart.

If Perry and Trudeau decide to have a kid, we have a feeling that the world will learn of it through credible reports or by their own announcement.

In the meantime, it’s wise to double-check whose post you’re reading before you take it at face value. (Also, it is 2026 — stop reading tweets altogether!)

Jude Law Divorced: His History of Marriage (And Many Children), Explained

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Over the course of his career, Jude Law has been married and divorced.

He has also become a father to a lot of children.

Only one of those children became a tangential part of a bizarre scandal in March of 2026.

Let’s take a look at his history marriage and children — and then where things stand today.

Jude Law and Sadie Frost

In the early ’90s, Jude Law met fellow actor Sadie Frost on the set of Shopping, a UK film that released in 1994.

Frost was already famous from her role in Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

More or less by the time that Shopping hit theaters, they were dating.

In September 1997, Law and Frost married. They went on to welcome three children: Raff, Iris, and Rudy.

It did not last. Just two days before Halloween in 2003, Jude Law and Sadie Frost divorced.

Sienna Miller

In late 2003, Jude Law and Sienna Miller were filming Alfie.

They began a relationship — perhaps one of his most famous entanglements. In 2004, they became engaged.

In the summer of 2005, Law publicly apologized to Miller for having an affair.

(It was with his children’s nanny, which is generally a disservice to the children as well as to the partner.)

Miller and Law ended their engagement and entire relationship in November 2006.

Jude Law and Samantha Burke

Law’s relationship with model Samantha Burke was relatively short-lived.

They began dating in 2008. By 2009, they had split.

Despite no marriage and no engagement, this romance makes the list because of what came of it.

In September of 2009, a time at which they were believed to already have split, Burke gave birth to the couple’s only child, Sophia.

That is Law’s fourth child. The Jude Law child count will continue until morale improves.

Catherine Harding

In 2014, Jude Law and Irish singer Catherine Harding — better known as Cat Cavelli — had what has since been characterized as a brief fling.

Once again, the relationship is more noteworthy for its results than for anything else.

In 2015, Harding gave birth to the couple’s daughter, Ada. That is Jude Law’s fifth child, for those keeping count.

Ada’s father is a soccer player from Brazil (who plays for Italy) named Jorginho. He is somewhat well-known within the subculture of sports enthusiasts. Well, that specific sport.

Famously, Jirginho (and Ada, if less directly) was at the center of a baseless smear against beloved singer Chappell Roan in early 2026. To be clear, it was not the tween’s fault.

Phillipa Coan

In 2015, Jude Law began dating a British psychologist and businesswoman named Phillipa Coan.

Mutual friends had introduced them, and they really hit it off.

The two went on to marry in April of 2019.

In 2020, Coan gave birth to their first child together — his sixth. Law confirmed the birth on The Tonight Show that year.

Then, in 2023, they welcomed Law’s seventh child. Out of concern for privacy, they have not revealed these kids’ names of races to the public.

Jude Law and Phillipa Coan have not divorced and, by all accounts, remain happily married to this day.

Caleb Flynn’s Love Songs Written For Mistress Played at Murder Trial: Watch and …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

The Caleb Flynn murder trial entered its sixth day today.

And we learned a lot more about the relationship between the former American Idol contestant and his mistress.

Apparently, Flynn had an awful lot to say to Alleigha Botner during their relationship.

And unfortunately for everyone involved, he apparently decided those feelings needed a soundtrack.

Flynn’s love songs for Botner were played in an Ohio courtroom Thursday as Flynn continues to stand trial for the alleged murder of his wife, Ashley Flynn.

The songs were reportedly created using artificial intelligence and were discovered on Flynn’s phone during the investigation into Ashley’s February death.

Joseph Wilhelm, a special agent with the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, testified that investigators found audio files that appeared to have been AI-generated and connected to Flynn’s relationship with Botner (via The New York Post).

There were reportedly two versions of one song, performed in different keys, with lyrics matching notes found on Flynn’s phone.

And the lyrics? Well, they were certainly a choice.

One song included lines about the first time Flynn saw Botner and claimed it was “love at first sight.” Another referenced the “third of every month,” which Botner explained was connected to the beginning of their relationship.

As the song played in court, members of the gallery reportedly appeared visibly uncomfortable. Some struggled not to laugh, while others shook their heads.

Well, it was a unique ending today in Caleb Flynn's trial. Two AI-generated songs Flynn wrote for his mistress were played in the courtroom. Flynn wrote the lyrics, AI composed the songs and the voice. Many in the gallery had a hard time keeping a straight face pic.twitter.com/j7WNtm9vTS

Even Flynn appeared tense, wiping his forehead with a napkin as the romantic masterpiece played.

Botner was asked what the song meant to her, and she explained that Flynn had written it to demonstrate how much he cared about her.

“Right now they mean nothing,” she said.

Botner testified that several of the lyrics were inspired by their secret meetings. She said Flynn would meet her in the mornings when he was supposedly going to the gym and would visit her home late at night.

She also said Flynn frequently referred to her as “my love” and his “once in a lifetime.”

That may have sounded romantic at the time.

In a murder trial, however, it lands considerably differently.

Caleb, 40, is accused of killing Ashley, 37, in their Ohio home in February and allegedly staging the crime scene to make it appear that an intruder was responsible. He has pleaded not guilty and maintained his innocence.

Botner has spent multiple days testifying about her affair with Flynn, including their more than 100,000 text messages and his alleged statements about Ashley.

The prosecution has argued that Flynn wanted to eliminate his wife so he could be with Botner.

The defense, meanwhile, has argued that Flynn’s ugly messages and promises to Botner don’t make him a murderer.

For now, jurors are left to sift through everything from alleged murder plans to secret tattoos to AI-generated love songs.

And somehow, the last item might be the most painfully awkward evidence of all.

Jay-Z Rape Accuser Exonerates Rapper, Apologizes to Beyoncé

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Almost two years ago, a law firm sued Jay-Z alleging that he teamed up with Diddy to rape their client when she was a child.

Now, that accuser is recanting the allegations again the famous rapper.

She is offering a full apology to the rapper and to his family, acknowledging the pain that her words caused.

The allegations are real — but she says that he was not involved.

Jay-Z’s accuser has exonerated h

Two years ago, a woman identified as Jane Doe filed a sexual assault lawsuit against Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Corey Carter.

In new documents, TMZ reports, she is recanting her allegations.

Her new filing asserts that there is “no truth” to any of her previous allegations.

“I understand my false accusations have caused Mr. Carter immense pain, suffering, and damage,” the court documents state.

Ms. Doe also acknowledged that this is pain “that can never be fully undone.”

A post shared by HBO Max (@hbomax)

According to the filing, Ms. Doe disclosed “mental health conditions” to her legal team before the December 2024 filing.

The original allegations, which she has now recanted, claim that Jay and Diddy raped her while an unnamed third celebrity watched.

“There is no truth to any of my claims against Mr. Carter,” she reiterated.

Just to clear the air, she attested that she has received no “financial compensation of any kind from Mr. Carter, or anyone acting on his behalf.”

To be clear, however, the woman says that she was a victim of sexual violence — but not at the hands of Beyoncé’s husband.

A post shared by Beyoncé (@beyonce)

She is a victim — but misidentified her attacker

Ms. Doe’s new attorney, James Blair Newman Jr., spoke to TMZ about the dropped lawsuit against Jay-Z.

“Our client maintains that she was a victim of sexual assault,” Newman clarified.

“But she was entirely mistaken in her allegations identifying Mr. Carter,” the statement continued, “and those allegations were false.”

Newman reiterated: “Mr. Carter did not rape her, sexually assault her, engage in any inappropriate conduct towards her, and she has never met him.”

He added: “She sincerely and unconditionally apologizes to Mr. Carter and his family.”

False reports of rape are extremely rare — rarer even than rapists going to prison for their crimes, which is already a scarcity — but they can happen.

As in Ms. Doe’s case, it is more likely for someone who has been a victim of sexual abuse to blame the wrong person. For example, someone who was preyed upon by a trusted relative might “remember” another person as the culprit, as part of the subconscious mind protecting itself.

Another factor can, in rare cases, be fame or celebrity status. Accusing someone of sexual misconduct is rarely ruinous for the target (there are exceptions), but can easily ruin the life of the accuser. Especially when the accused is famous or powerful.

In this case, due to Ms. Doe’s specific circumstances, Jay-Z is no longer suing her now that she has recanted.

He is still going after the law firm that previously represented her.

Taylor Swift’s Travis Kelce Ode ‘Cleveland!’ Divides Fans: Cringe or …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Whether you’re a diehard Swiftie or just an unsuspecting social media user, by now, you’re probably aware that Taylor Swift has released four new songs.

Taylor teased the tracks — contained on her new Life of a Showgirl: The Encore bonus album — earlier this week, and fans lost their minds.

Now, the songs are finally here, and the reaction has been — decidedly mixed.

While some of the tracks are darker in tone — especially “Patient Zero,” which seems to chronicle Taylor’s escape from a toxic relationship — most are cheerier, in keeping with the overall vibe of the Showgirl album.

The most talked-about song by a wide margin is “Cleveland!,” Taylor’s ode to her marriage to Travis Kelce.

“The taste of me is acquired, but it’s his favorite dish / He says I look like an angel, they say, ‘I hate that bitch’ / There, that house with the porch is where he lived as a kid,” Tay sings on the track.

“He’s been saying forever, must not have read / That scathin’ take ‘bout how I’m fake / And he could find someone younger,” she continues. “I can see what they mean / And now I guess there’s somethin’ we all can agree on / But my baby likes what he likes.”

The song features a bit of uncharacteristic self-deprecation with Swift declaring that Kelce is the one person who doesn’t find her “completely insufferable.”

“You only need to find one person in this entire world who doesn’t find you completely insufferable, and I have an important announcement to make, I found mine,” she sings.

It’s a bit of an odd remark coming from the world’s most famous person, and it’s not the only line that’s struck a sour note with some listeners.

“None of Taylor’s songs for Travis really feel genuine, right? It just seems like forced effort, like she’s writing in a way that NEEDS TO PROVE she’s in love and not about the actual feeling of being in love itself,” wrote one user on X (formerly Twitter).

“Cleveland is an amazing example of Taylor Swift being at her worst when she pretends that she doesn’t care about her criticism. She obviously does, and the tension of trying to be wildly beloved is what drives a lot of her best songs,” another added.

but my baby likes what he likes
he already took me to Cleveland and showed me The Heights!
so hate all you likes
this is the love of my life pic.twitter.com/eVl69uQpgD

— ⚢ (@tscurlyhair) September 25, 2026

“Cleveland! is the most embarrassing song released by any pop star in history and probably any musician if we’re being honest. Jesus Christ lol,” a third chimed in.

You get the idea. Naturally, there were a whole lot of people who loved the track — this is still Taylor Swift we’re talking about — but saying it’s not her most well-received work would be putting it mildly.

But maybe at this stage in her life, Taylor is so content that she’s no longer bothered by the criticism.

Amber Portwood Brags About Boning ‘So Many’ MTV Stars Back in the Day at …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Why was everyone “flocking” to bring Amber Portwood to wild, horny parties back in her MTV days?

The former Teen Mom star is thinking back to the early years of her reality stardom.

As soon as she somehow got the label of party animal, she was invited to wild parties with alleged A-listers, she says.

Amber boasts that she “had sex with so many motherf–kers,” including fellow MTV stars.

Amber Portwood allegedly did very well for herself at secret celebrity parties

Taking to her new YouTube show, such as it is, Teen Mom alum Amber Portwood is spilling the alleged tea.

“I’ve had sex with so many motherf–kers from MTV,” she boasted. “It’s ridiculous.”

Amber continued: “And all [people] on television; it’s stupid.”

Thinking of her MTV days, she described: “You just get invited to the craziest things. Sometimes you don’t know who’s in front of you ’cause you’re so drunk or high and it’s dark as s–t.”

Amber added: “Then you figure it out within five minutes and you’re like, ‘Ah, OK. Over there? OK.”

“When I started getting introduced to all these underground parties, or all these parties in general,” Amber recalled.

She shared that “I would get the memo from a lot of people that, ‘Oh no, so and so from the shows, we’re not asking for them to come, because of certain reasons.'”

Amber shared: “They thought I was a partier.”

Her criminal history — the part about drugs, not the attacks on both of her baby daddies — would likely back up that characterization.

“That’s how they put me out there, as the partier, you know, in the beginning,” Amber guessed. “I think that’s why I got more [calls].”

Thinking back, Amber Portwood thinks that going to alleged celebrity parties helped her to better understand herself. (Image Credit: YouTube)

She used to ‘have a f–king ball’ at these parties

According to Amber Portwood, most of her friends were “crew and above.”

She said that they would go out and “just have a f–king ball” at these alleged parties, which took place in major cities from coast to coast and in between.

“They would literally ask me to come out to a party just for fun, without no cameras or nothing around,” Amber reminisced. “And I would just go.”

She claimed: “You don’t know exactly where you’re going. They’re buying you the tickets, first off. There’s been times where I went on planes and I didn’t even know which state I was going to because it was, like, that secretive or whatever.”

Just for the record, when you board a flight, you can tell at the gate, from the tickets, from attendants, and more exactly where the flight is going. It is possible that, hypothetically, a person who is under the influence might not pay attention to or notice these details.

“I didn’t understand why I was the person, why everybody was flocking and trying to get me to go out and party with them, and bring me to all these big things,” Amber expressed … modestly?

“These big underground parties with people who I thought were absolutely A-list celebrities or big in whatever they did … Like, producers and directors and stuff like that. … a lot of musicians,” she claimed.

Amber then added that she didn’t want to name anyone or give people identifying details.

She claimed that these A-list stars were “doing things that I never would think they would ever do in front of people. [Being] naked, sex, drugs.”

Amber did admit that all of this helped her to better understand herself and her life because she “saw that people were just human.”

That’s actually very wise, which is not something that we are accustomed to hearing from Amber.

Dolly Parton Day Celebrated from Coast to Coast

Reading Time: 2 minutes

In August, the world lost Dolly Parton, one of our greatest cultural treasures.

Exactly one month later, people across America are celebrating a day in her honor.

Dolly was a profoundly good person who meant so much to so many people.

From across the aisle and from coast to coast, we can all come together to honor her enduring legacy.

Happy Dolly Parton Day!

In cities and states across the nation, Friday, September 25 is Dolly Parton Day.

The date was chosen as a nod to one of her most iconic songs.

“9 to 5” is a worker’s anthem, and Dolly not only starred in a film by that title, but was also a lifelong union member.

In the US, September 25 is abbreviated as “9/25,” like 9-to-5. We write it in this order because it matches the order in which we say dates aloud.

Other countries, where people might write the date as day-then-month, 25/9, might find this a little confusing.

Officially, the states of California and Ohio have declared this holiday statewide.

Cities and counties, such a some in Tennessee and Texas, have done this on the local level.

Major cities, such as New Orleans, New York, Portland (Oregon), and more have done the same.

State legislatures may meet at different times. In order for a holiday like this to be declared at the state level, in some cases, a law must be passed.

Passing such a bill in just a few weeks is not feasible for every state. Hopefully, next year, this will be official in all 50 States, plus in DC, Puerto Rico, Guam, and beyond.

What made her so special to so many people?

To be clear, Dolly Parton Day is not merely a day for people who enjoyed her music, her films, or Dollywood.

We already mentioned her importance, practical and symbolic, to workers and to trade unions.

But Dolly was also famously one of the most charitable people alive.

This was true decades ago and in her final years.

From her Imagination Library to funding local residents after the Pigeon Forge fires in 2016 to donating to Hurricane relief after Helene hit in 2024, people for miles felt her generous spirit and her famous kindness.

Dolly’s kindness extended beyond her charitable programs and her donations.

She was also just genuinely nice to people.

From her statements on Black Lives Matter to her lifelong support for LGBTQ+ folks, she made it clear that she was a good person, even during times — past and present — when these communities were in the crosshairs.

Dolly always managed to show her values without being partisan or even particularly political, turning down honors that she felt might have made her seem to be “picking sides” in our polarized time.

She meant the world to so many people, and it is privilege to have lived at the same time as Dolly.
