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?

On Thursday, February 19, 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 judgment — 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 mean time, 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!)

Chrissy Froyd Fired By USA Today Following Mike Vrabel-Dianna Russini Affair Allegations

Reading Time: 3 minutes

There’s a new twist in the ongoing Mike Vrabel-Dianna Russini scandal.

On Thursday, we reported that an NFL journalist had tweeted new claims about Russini’s alleged affairs, claiming that Russini had inappropriate relationships with both Vrabel and LA Rams coach Sean McVay.

Today, that reporter, Chrissy Froyd, has been fired from her job at USA Today.

“USA TODAY Sports has ended its contractor relationship with Crissy Froyd effective immediately. Her recent statements do not reflect our commitment to professionalism or uphold our principles of ethical conduct,” the outlet said in a statement.

In a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter), Froyd acknowledged her firing and stated that she has no regrets about her calling out Russini:

“I would like to acknowledge the statements put out about me recently and that I am also no longer with USA TODAY SMG,” Froyd wrote, adding:

“I regret zero of what I said and stand beside it. If you want to talk, my messages are open. My email is operative, too.

The biggest thing about all this that pains me is that other women don’t feel like they can speak out because I’ve been “reprimanded.”

Oh yes. You can.

Do it. I’ll stand with you.

God, don’t you hear “under my thumb” playing somewhere

— Crissy Froyd (@crissy_froyd) April 17, 2026

“I feel I’ve been very transparent and did nothing wrong. I also find it so interesting that a Nancy Armour column was able to be published about Dianna Russini setting women back on USAT, but that my comments as a freelancer on my own social media about her were not fine.”

“The biggest thing about all this that pains me is that other women don’t feel like they can speak out because I’ve been ‘reprimanded,'” Froyd wrote in a separate tweet, adding:

“Oh yes. You can. Do it. I’ll stand with you. God, don’t you hear ‘under my thumb’ playing somewhere.

“Be bold and speak out. Will it make a martyr out of you? Maybe. But some things are worth it and some are not. This was.”

The Froyd drama began on Thursday when she responded to Russini’s announcement that she had resigned from her post at The Athletic.

That decision came as a result of photos that showed Russini hugging and holding hands with Vrabel following NFL meeting in Arizona last month.

Both parties are married to other people. In her resignation letter, Russini denied any wrongdoing.

“I’m sure you were told to submit this or that you’d get fired instead,” Froyd tweeted on Thursday, referring to Russini’s letter.

“Don’t let the door hit you on the way out…We know who you really are and what you’ve been up to for years. It does so much detriment to women in sports who have done things the right way.”

She went on to allege that Russini also had an inappropriate relationship with McVay during his time as offensive coordinator for the Washington Commanders.

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Sydney Sweeney Goes Topless to Promote ‘Seductress’ Lingerie Line

Reading Time: 2 minutes

For a lot of people, 2026 is off to a very rocky start.

But amid all the reports of war and corruption and environmental collapse, there are still reasons to be optimistic.

For example, Sydney Sweeney has launched a lingerie line, and she promotes it by wearing the items herself.

The brand is called SYRN (pronounced “siren”), and it’s divided into five different collections.

Each time new items drop, Sydney models them on her Instagram page, which makes perfect sense.

If she picked someone else for the job, it would only create confusion. It would be like if Elon Musk hired someone hired a guy to be awkward on social media for him. He can just do that himself!

Anyway, first came the Seductress, which carried a femme fatale vibe featuring corsets and garters. Old school lingerie.

Then Sydney released Romantic, which had a softer and lacier vibe. Playful was the name suggests, more fun and sporty.

Then came Comfy, which was the most casual of the bunch.

Now, we’re getting a second round of Seductress releases. And as usual, both the lingerie and the model are receiving rave reviews on Instagram.

“A lil bit more of our seductress,” Sydney wrote in her caption, a play on words worthy of Shakespeare.

Predictably, the post quickly racked up hundreds of thousands of likes and an astonishing number of ultra-thirsty comments.

“GIRL YOU’RE SO STUNNING,” wrote one user.

“Internet is on its knees!!!” added another.

A third chimed in by basically writing an ode to the Euphoria star and lingerie mogul:

“Amidst the hellish battles raging in the Middle East between America and Israel against Iran, there is something beautiful that brings a smile and a sense of joy,” this person wrote,” adding:

“Sydney Sweeney and seeing her work and projects flourishing. There are beautiful women, yes, but the most beautiful of all in every way is Sydney Sweeney.”

Now, we’re sure Sydney is used to people being weird about her on the internet. But it still must feel a little strange.

But hey, she’s a natural-born star who seems perfectly comfortable in the spotlight.

While some celebs seem to hate every second of being famous (looking at you, Chappell Roan!), Sydney has worked hard for this moment, and she’s clearly enjoying every second of it.

Ethan Hawke Divorced: His History of Marriage, Explained

Reading Time: 3 minutes

From The Dead Poets Society to Moon Knight, Ethan Hawke is an acting legend.

And he’s not the only one in his family — including exes — to be a household name.

Hawke has been married and divorced over the years.

Here’s a look at his history — and where things stand today.

Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman

In 1996, Hawke met Uma Thurman while the two were filming the 1997 film, Gattaca.

The two married on May 1, 1998.

Hawke and Thurman were an instant power couple, for being acclaimed actors and for both being one of the hottest stars of the ’90s.

In 1998, they welcomed Maya Hawke — who is arguably just as famous as her parents, these days.

Levon, born in 2002, also went into acting. What a talented family!

Unfortunately, the marriage did not last.

In 2003, Thurman and Hawke separated.

Then, in 2004, she filed for divorce.

It is widely believed that Hawke cheating on Thurman, though she has repeatedly declined to badmouth her ex.

Amidst “humiliating” tabloid scrutiny, they finalized their divorce in August 2005.

Ethan Hawke and Ryan Shawhughes

According to Ethan Hawke, he and Ryan Shawhughes only began dating a year after his divorce from Thurman.

Shawhughes is a Columbia University graduate.

Briefly, she worked as a nanny for Hawke and Thurman’s children.

(Yes, that sounds complex!)

Hawke has publicly confirmed that his divorce was unrelated to Shawhughes. Like we said, complex!

In June of 2008, Hawke and Shawhughes married.

The following month, they welcomed their first child as a couple, Clementine.

Then, in July of 2011, Shawhughes gave birth to their second daughter, Indiana.

That makes her the youngest of Hawke’s four children.

Hawke and Shawhughes launched a production company together: Under the Influence Productions.

Where do things stand today?

Ethan Hawke and Ryan Shawhughes — now Ryan Hawke — remain very much together.

Their youngest girls are teenagers. That’s how time works, you see.

Hawke and Thurman have received praise for their co-parenting.

And, as their children — particularly Maya (no shade to Levon) — continue to stand out on their own, some younger fans are learning for the first time that they were once an item.

Hopefully, they’ll continue their long and happy marriage!

Chris Pratt Divorced: His History of Marriage to Katherine Schwarzenegger, Explained

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Chris Pratt has been married and divorced along his journey from little-known comedic actor to A-lister.

These days, he rarely mentions Anna Faris. But for years, they were a beloved Hollywood couple.

He moved on, becoming part of the Schwarzenegger family when he married the former governor’s daughter, Katherine.

Where do things stand today, and how did he get there?

Chris Pratt and Anna Faris married in 2009

In August of 2017, Chris Pratt and then-wife Anna Faris announced their separation.

They had been together for a decade, and married for most of that time.

He filed for divorce in December of that year. The erstwhile couple finalized their divorce in October of 2018.

Pratt and Faris continue to share their beloved son, Jack, whom they welcomed in 2012.

In some ways, this divorce coincided with a downgrade in Pratt’s public image, even as his fame only continued to rise.

There were other issues, including Pratt’s sometimes inconsistent statements on his beliefs, some admittedly unfair assumptions, and a classic case of massive overexposure.

But some fans took the split personally, believing it to be a sign that Pratt — perhaps due to his meteoric rise from niche funny guy to MCU star — had changed for the worst.

But he would move on, and find love again.

Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger married in 2019

In June of 2018, Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger were spotted together for the first time on what looked to be a scenic Santa Barbara date.

The romance was still new at the time, but things swiftly became more serious.

In January of 2019, Pratt announced that the two were engaged.

Then, in June of 2019, after only one year of publicly dating, Pratt and Schwarzenegger married.

Pratt and Schwarzenegger welcomed their first daughter in 2020.

In 2022, they welcomed their second daughter, followed by a son in 2024.

It may be of interest to some that, by marrying Schwarzenegger, Pratt also became a member of the extended Kennedy family.

That’s a bit of a mixed bag, but what family isn’t?

Though Chris Pratt remains a divisive figure among movie fans for a variety of reasons, his marriage to Katherine Schwarzenegger remains undivided.

The two are together as of late spring 2025, with no indications that this will change in the near future.

All marriages end. Some only end in death after many decades of happiness and love.

Clearly, that is Pratt and Schwarzenegger’s aim.

Pete Hegseth Quotes Fake Bible Verse From ‘Pulp Fiction’ at Pentagon Prayer …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

If you’re a fan of the 1994 film classic Pulp Fiction, then you’ll likely remember the scene in which Samuel L. Jackson recites Ezekiel 25:17 before emptying his clip into the dudes who wound up with his boss’ briefcase.

And apparently, the ultimate high-powered hitman Pete Hegseth found the chapter and verse so inspirational that he recited them at a recent Pentagon prayer event.

The only problem is, the words from Quentin Tarantino’s beloved film don’t appear anywhere in the Bible.

U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth speaks during a press briefing at the Pentagon on April 16, 2026 in Arlington, Virginia. Hegseth addressed the war between the United States and Israel against Iran as negotiations continue toward a longer-term agreement between the countries. (Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images)

“This prayer was recited by Sandy 1, which is one of the Sandies, to all Sandies, all those A-10 crews, prior to all CSAR missions, but especially this CSAR mission, which happened in real time,” Hegseth said.

“They call it CSAR 25:17, which I think is meant to reflect Ezekiel 25:17.

“So the prayer is CSAR 25:17 and it reads, and pray with me please, ‘The path of the downed aviator is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men,” the defense secretary continued (as seen in the video below).

“Blessed is he who in the name of camaraderie and duty shepherds the lost through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children.

“And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to capture and destroy my brother, and you will know my call sign is Sandy 1 when I lay my vengeance upon thee. Amen.”

It might not be as unexpected as Donald Trump’s numerous AI Jesus posts, but the situation has a lot of peopple scratching their heads.

In the King James translation of the Bible, Ezekiel 25:17 reads simply:

“And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.”

However, the version that Jules Winfield hisses before he unloads on Big Brain Brad goes like this:

“The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men.

“Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and goodwill, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children.

“And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord, when I lay my vengeance upon thee.”

In typical Tarantino fashion, the quote is cribbed from a 1970s Japanese martial arts movie titled Bodyguard Kiba.

So Hegseth was working with a copy of a copy that had apparently been repurposed by members of the Air Force.

They might not believe in climate change, but this administration sure likes recycling.

Meghan Trainor Abruptly Cancels Tour, Claims It’s For Her Family (But Not Everyone …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

She’s getting out of her Get In Girl tour.

With less than two months’ notice, Meghan Trainor has canceled her 2026 tour.

She claims that this is about being “present” for her family.

But folks on social media are floating another theory about the controversial singer.

The ‘Get in Girl’ tour isn’t happening! Not this year, anyway

On Thursday, April 16, Trainor took to her Instagram Story to share her updated 2026 plans.

“After a lot of reflection and some really tough conversations, I’ve made the difficult decision to cancel the ‘Get in Girl’ tour,” she began.

“Balancing the release of a new album, preparing for a nationwide tour,” she explained.

Trainor continued: “And welcoming our new baby girl to our growing family of five has just been more than I can take on right now.”

As we reported in January, the singer welcomed her third child via gestational carrier (surrogate).

This Instagram Story from Meghan Trainor was surely a disappointment to some of her fans. (Image Credit: Instagram)

“I know this will come as a disappointment to my fans,” Trainor acknowledged.

“And,” she expressed, “I am so sorry to let you down.”

Trainor then affirmed: “But I know this is the right decision for my family and me right now.” That is now a family of five.

“I promise I’ll be back soon,” she vowed. “And I can’t wait for you to hear this new record.”

Trainor concluded: “I’m so proud of it and I’m endlessly grateful for your love and support always.”

On social media, some suggest an alternative explanation

She’s 32 and has three young children.

That might be enough to make anyone change their summer plans.

But having a child isn’t exactly something that happens overnight. The pregnancy alone lasts for most of a year.

And, in Trainor’s case, they welcomed Baby #3 via gestational carrier.

That involves a whole other person, not to mention doctors and IVF treatments. Becoming a family of five didn’t happen by accident or suddenly, so why plan this and the tour?

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Meghan Trainor (@meghantrainor)

Some seriously, some snarkily, folks on social media are suggesting that Trainor is doing this to save face.

The belief is that Trainor’s ticket sales did not meet expectations for two months away from the start of her tour.

Touring is expensive and time-consuming. And appearing on a stage before a mostly vacant crowd is humiliating.

(Just ask JD Vance.)

Obviously, we do not have access to Trainor’s ticket sales — or to what expectations were before launching the tour. But it’s a solid theory, however unproven.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Meghan Trainor (@meghantrainor)

She’s been shedding fans in recent years

Trainor’s use of GLP-1 medication for luxury weight loss has made headlines and elicited controversy.

She even went so far as to change the lyrics to “All About That Bass” to match her new, ultra-slender body. That went about as well as you’d expect.

As we at THG have emphasized before, going into someone’s reply to shame or “express concern” about a celebrity is very unlikely to prompt any changes.

Everyone deserves to have the body that they most desire. But people are right to have ethical concerns and reasonable to express long-term health worries about people buying into medicalized starvation as a weight-loss solution.

Maybe Trainor isn’t able to fill seats anymore. She’s married to a Spy Kids star and has three beautiful kids. She’s arguably still winning. We just hope that she doesn’t come to regret some of her incendiary choices.
