When Ines de Ramon joined Brad Pitt at the Venice Film Festival in Italy in September 2024, she looked perfectly at ease beside one of Hollywood’s most famous men.

But she had already exchanged wedding vows with another much-loved heartthrob, and a particular fact about her boyfriend and her father holds a surprise that is almost too irresistible to leave alone.

She Was Building Her Future Long Before the Premiere Invitations

Before Hollywood became interested in whom Ines was dating, she was busy getting an education. She graduated from the University of Geneva in 2013 with a bachelor’s degree in business administration, laying the groundwork for a career of her own.

And honestly, that part deserves its moment. A famous boyfriend tends to become the headline, but Ines had already spent years building a life that had absolutely nothing to do with standing beside him.

Her qualifications also include a nutrition health coach certification from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, as detailed in People’s profile. Business and wellness make an interesting combination, especially for someone whose professional life would become closely tied to luxury jewelry.

The Geneva degree also places an important part of her story in Switzerland, well before the Los Angeles premieres. Her introduction to public attention came later, after she had already established some rather impressive credentials.

For anyone meeting her through photographs of Brad, there is a whole working life to catch up on. And yes, that working life comes with some exceptionally good sparkle.

Her Jewelry Résumé Has Plenty of Shine All Its Own

Ines’s professional experience includes a position in the jewelry department at Christie’s and work for the Swiss luxury jeweler De Grisogono, according to her LinkedIn history. She was learning the business of beautiful things long before the cameras followed her dates.

She later worked as a vice president at Anita Ko Jewelry, a Los Angeles-based brand with some very recognizable admirers. Hailey Bieber, Kourtney Kardashian and Mandy Moore are among the stars who have worn its pieces.

So, while her relationship brought a new level of attention, celebrity circles were hardly a completely foreign world. She already had a professional reason to be around the kind of jewels that end up on famous wrists and red carpets.

In February 2022, she also appeared in a campaign for Anita Ko Jewelry and shared the now-deleted photographs on Instagram. For that assignment, the woman working in the jewelry business became part of its imagery herself.

That campaign arrived months before her first public sighting with Brad. By then, she had already moved from a Swiss business degree into a luxury career with a distinctly Hollywood clientele. As introductions go, hers was considerably more substantial than “the actor’s new girlfriend.”

A Mutual Friend Made an Exceptionally Good Introduction

Ines and Brad met through a mutual friend, which is a wonderfully ordinary beginning for a relationship that would eventually become big celebrity gossip. The two apparently liked each other enough to keep seeing each other.

When they were spotted at a Bono concert in November 2022, a source close to Ines said they had already been dating for a few months. The insider also said Brad was “really into” her.

By December 2022, Ines was accompanying him to the Los Angeles premiere of “Babylon.” At the afterparty, they were reportedly seen mingling with their arms around each other, giving the glamorous evening a sweetly affectionate touch.

A few days later, they celebrated Brad’s 59th birthday at Pace, an Italian restaurant in Hollywood, California. Being invited to a premiere is lovely, but being the person someone wants beside them on their birthday feels much more intimate.

Their early outings gradually brought the relationship into view. There was no need for a sweeping declaration when their time together was already beginning to tell its own story. Soon, the invitations extended beyond concerts and dinners. They were making room for each other at home.

The Birthday Dates Eventually Became Everyday Life

In February 2024, a source said Ines had moved into Brad’s home, although she still kept her own residence. The arrangement was described as recent. “They are going very strong and she is happier than ever,” the insider said.

After the excitement of those early dates, their relationship was moving toward the everyday closeness of sharing a place. By July 2024, a few weeks after they were seen at the British Grand Prix, another source described how things were going since the move.

“It’s more of a serious relationship than just dating,” the insider said. “Brad loves so many things about her. She’s great for him.”

An October 2025 update described them as fully living together, with Brad adding her into many aspects of his life. “Brad is really including Ines in all his travel plans, and when they are home, they just relax together,” the source said. “They are really making their home into a home.”

For Ines, however, building a life with an actor was familiar territory. Before Brad, she had married a man whose television character inspired a considerable amount of swooning.

Her First Husband Was a Television Crush for an Entire Generation

Ines was previously married to Paul Wesley, the actor who played Stefan Salvatore in “The Vampire Diaries.” Yes, her romantic history includes one of television’s most adored vampires.

Some people have an ex whose name requires a lengthy explanation. Ines has an ex who immediately brings back memories of supernatural love triangles and very passionate fan loyalties.

She and Paul were first photographed together in June 2018, holding hands after a dinner date in New York City. By February 2019, their jewelry was attracting attention of its own.

As People reported, the pair were seen walking through Manhattan’s West Village wearing bands on their wedding-ring fingers. Paul was 36 at the time, and the photographs prompted speculation that they had quietly married.

A few months later, his former “The Vampire Diaries” co-star Nina Dobrev appeared to confirm it. During a June 2019 podcast appearance, she referred to Ines as his wife. But Ines eventually shared a much more personal glimpse of their marriage.

On July 23, 2020, she posted a wedding photograph on Instagram to celebrate their anniversary. The image showed her wearing a white wedding dress as she and Paul kissed on a beach.

Paul had been married before, too. He wed his “Killer Movie” co-star Torrey DeVitto in April 2011, and their marriage ended in July 2013. He later dated “The Vampire Diaries” actress Phoebe Tonkin on and off for four years before they split for good in October 2017.

His relationship with Ines followed that chapter. Sadly, in September 2022, a representative announced that the couple had separated after more than three years of marriage. “The decision to separate is mutual and occurred five months ago. They request privacy at this time,” the representative said.

Their divorce was finalized in February 2024. They reached a written agreement concerning their property and marital rights, including support, while Paul waived future spousal or partner support payments and Ines asked to restore her former name.

Her marriage to a television heartthrob certainly makes her romantic history interesting. But her relationship with Brad comes with a fact that might have you pausing to do the math.

Her Father’s Birthday Adds a Rather Unexpected Twist

Ines’s father, Vicente de Ramon, lists Geneva, Switzerland, as his current city and Madrid, Spain, as his hometown on his Facebook profile. The Geneva connection brings another piece of her family life into view alongside her education there.

But his birthday is the part that might briefly stop a conversation. Vicente was born on January 4, 1960, while Brad was born on December 18, 1963. Their birth years are only three years apart, and their actual age difference is just under four years.

Yes, Ines’s boyfriend and her father are remarkably close in age. Brad has occupied the heartthrob category for so long that this little calculation can feel unexpectedly startling. Put his birthday beside Vicente’s, and suddenly that familiar Hollywood image gets a very different family context.

Vicente’s profile also identifies Ines’s sister, Leticia de Ramón, as his daughter. Beyond the movie premieres, Ines has family ties stretching between Spain and Switzerland.

Her life has covered quite a bit of ground before and during her Hollywood relationships. And while the birthday arithmetic is an irresistible talking point, another part of her romance with Brad has been much more tender.

She Was Beside Brad Through a Painful Family Chapter

In 2024, a friend of the couple told the Daily Mail that Ines had been a source of comfort during his strained relationships with his children and ongoing divorce proceedings involving Angelina Jolie.

The friend said those difficulties had brought the couple closer. Around the same period, Brad and Ines were photographed enjoying a morning beach walk in Santa Barbara, California, sharing a quieter outing away from the premiere circuit.

Brad and Angelina share three daughters and three sons. Their children are Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt. Unfortunately, several of the kids have dropped Pitt from their names in the last few years.

On her 18th birthday, Shiloh filed to remove her father’s surname and become Shiloh Jolie. A source close to Brad told People that he was aware of the request and upset by it.

Another source close to Brad told People that he continued to love all his children tremendously. “This whole process has been very hard for the whole family,” that source said. Amid those painful circumstances, Brad’s friend described a hopeful outlook toward his future with Ines.

“Having more kids in his life is not out of the question. Ines is young and Brad said he’s 100% on board if she wants to have kids. He loves the idea of building a life with Ines and nothing is off the table.”

The friend added, “Brad said Ines would be a wonderful mother.” Describing her as patient and easygoing, with a great sense of humor, the insider said Brad was committed to the relationship for the long run.

The affection in that account centered on the woman he enjoyed being with, and the life they might build together.

From Venice Glamour to a Very Enthusiastic Wedding Guest

September 2024 brought a particularly glamorous milestone when Ines accompanied Brad to the Venice Film Festival premiere of “Wolfs.” For their red carpet debut as a couple, she wore a fitted white dress, while he chose an all-black ensemble.

The pairing was gorgeous. Ines looked elegant beside him, and their appearance gave a much more public face to a relationship that had already grown through private dates and shared time at home.

Ahead of the premiere, a source said, “He’s serious about Ines.”

“He’s very happy and enjoys spending time with her. She’s easygoing and everyone likes her.”

A later outing brought a much livelier glimpse of their time together. During a September 2026 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Brad discussed attending Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding with Ines.

He called the celebration “the wedding of the century” and said he lost track of her on the dance floor at one point. Apparently, even having Brad Pitt as your date is no reason to abandon a good dance.

“Let me tell you, that was such an amazing night, I think we were there 10 hours, maybe 12,” he said. “It was so thoughtful, and well-planned, and really moving, and great fun.”

That is a delightfully cheerful glimpse of Ines, happily enjoying the party while her boyfriend had an excellent evening of his own. After all the attention paid to her past, it is lovely to picture her simply having a fabulous time in the present.

She brought a whole life into this relationship, including a career she had built and a marriage she had already lived through. Now, with a shared home and a boyfriend who sounds thoroughly smitten, Ines appears to have plenty to smile about, and apparently plenty of dancing left to do.

Gigi Hadid, 31, and Bradley Cooper, 51, left a private dinner together in Paris on October 3, 2026, giving photographers another glimpse of a romance that has spent nearly three years developing mostly on its own terms.

They looked polished, relaxed and very much together, but two tiny accessories brought a rather large question right back to the table, while commenters found several other things to discuss too.

Paris Put Their Left Hands Back in the Spotlight

Ah, Paris. The city of love, butter, couture and, apparently, two celebrities making everyone stare shamelessly at their fingers.

Bradley stepped out in a dark green look for the evening, while Gigi paired jeans with a gray striped jacket and carried a brown Miu Miu bag. It was stylish without looking painfully styled, which is exactly the sort of trick a supermodel can pull off while the rest of us are still arguing with a jacket zipper.

But forget the clothes for a second. Both Gigi and Bradley were once again photographed wearing bands on their left ring fingers. And these were not entirely new additions.

Back on August 3, Gigi and Bradley had been photographed walking hand in hand through Paris with bands sitting on the very fingers traditionally associated with marriage. They were smiling, carrying matching water bottles, dressed in athletic clothes and sunglasses, and generally looking like the sort of couple who could turn hydration into a paparazzi event.

The August jewelry immediately triggered questions about whether the two had quietly married. Page Six later reported that the rings themselves came from French jewelry house Boucheron. The model’s was identified as the Quatre Radiant Edition Wedding Band, while Bradley wore the Godron Pink Gold Wedding Band.

And darling, these are not rings one accidentally finds beside the chewing gum at checkout. Gigi’s band retails for $6,450 and combines yellow gold grosgrain detailing with a fine row of diamonds. Bradley’s pink-gold design retails for $2,120 and uses a rounded double-band motif.

Boucheron describes Gigi’s style as something “worn as a declaration of love, but also of style.” Meanwhile, the “The Hangover” actor’s ring receives even more matrimonial language from the jeweler.

Apparently, its rounded form evokes “the strength of the love that binds two people together” and describes the design as “an eternal symbol of the union between husband and wife.”

Well. Subtle, Boucheron is not.

Yet neither Gigi nor Bradley has announced that they are married. Their representatives also did not comment on the marriage speculation surrounding the August photographs.

Another explanation had already emerged. On an early August episode of Deux/U, a source described the jewelry as having more of a “promise, commitment vibe” than being evidence of a traditional engagement.

That made the whole mystery considerably more interesting, because two months later the rings were not sitting forgotten in a jewelry box. They were still right there.

The most recent photographs show both stars wearing bands on their left hands again, meaning whatever the jewelry represents to them, it certainly does not appear to have been a one-afternoon experiment. And the rings themselves are unusually personal choices.

Jewelry experts told ELLE that although the couple’s rings use different metals and designs, they share enough visual similarities to feel connected without looking like identical his-and-hers bands.

Ali Galgano, founder of Serpentine Jewels, praised Gigi’s choice for departing from a conventional bridal style. “What stands out immediately is that Gigi didn’t choose a traditional plain diamond eternity band or classic gold wedding ring [for her new ring],” she said.

Gigi’s Quatre design combines yellow and white gold and includes 33 round diamonds totaling 0.25 carats. Rather than putting one enormous stone front and center, the diamonds are integrated into the architecture of the band.

Ali explained that the design “reads more like a piece of fine jewelry than a conventional bridal band,” adding that its understated but fashion-driven feel suited Gigi particularly well. That sounds right. A plain little band was probably never going to stroll onto the hand of this model and call it a day.

Bradley’s ring is different, but that may be part of the charm. Steph Mazuera, founder of her namesake jewelry brand, said both rings have “a strong design point of view, but they’re still wearable enough to function as everyday rings.”

She also saw a connection in their contrasting textures and materials. “It feels much more personal than simply choosing identical bands,” Steph explained.

Several of the other jewelers interviewed by ELLE made essentially the same point: these rings look related without being twins. There is something rather lovely about that, whatever relationship milestone they may or may not represent.

Commenters Had Theories About the Rings, Then Looked Everywhere Else

If celebrities wear bands on their left ring fingers twice in Paris, people are going to investigate with all the restraint of a detective who has just discovered a fresh corkboard and six rolls of red string.

On Instagram, several commenters immediately returned to the marriage question. One suggested a softer possibility, “Maybe it is promise rings.” Another had absolutely no interest in hedging: “No doubt in my mind, they’re married. Good for them!👏”

Others were less focused on romance and began scrutinizing Bradley himself. One commenter wrote, “He needs to stop touching his face looks weird [sic].” Another asked, “Why did he get plastic surgery? He was handsome before…”

Someone else focused on how the couple walked together, writing, “He needs to walk behind her and be more attentive,typical guy [sic].” A second Instagram post produced another mixture of ring theories and comments about Bradley’s appearance.

One person asked, “Is his beard painted on…?” Another wrote, “Someone got some beard and hair implants.” And one especially economical reaction simply read, “His face … omg [sic].”

The jewelry, however, remained irresistible. One commenter wrote, “They look like wedding bands to me?” Another apparently preferred the commitment-ring theory: “aw cute promise rings [sic].”

The comments may have wandered all over Bradley’s face, hair, beard, and walking etiquette, but the biggest unanswered question remains sitting quietly on those left hands.

And unlike a fleeting hairstyle or a single outfit, the bands have now made a repeat appearance two months apart. That is difficult not to notice.

Their Romance Has Quietly Become Much Less Secret

The fascination around the rings also makes more sense when you consider how carefully Gigi and Bradley handled the early part of their relationship. Dating buzz ignited in early October 2023 when onlookers caught the pair sharing a meal at Via Carota in New York City’s West Village.

For a long time, they kept things remarkably low-key. Apart from occasional social media appearances, they largely avoided turning their relationship into a public production.

Then, in May 2025, Gigi finally gave the romance its unmistakable Instagram moment by posting a photograph of herself kissing the actor during her 30th birthday celebration.

By then, she had also spoken with unusual openness about him. In her April 2025 Vogue interview, the model described the relationship as a “very romantic and happy dynamic.”

She also explained why the partnership felt so meaningful to her. “To find someone that is in a place in their life where they know what they want and deserve and you both do work separately to come together and be the best partner that you can be. I just feel really lucky,” she said.

Her admiration for Bradley was not limited to romance either. “I respect him so much as a creative, and I feel that he gives so much to me: encouragement and, just, belief,” she added.

That is a pretty glowing review, and unlike the jewelry speculation, those words came directly from Gigi. Both stars are also parents.

The model shares 5-year-old daughter Khai with former partner Zayn Malik, while the actor shares 9-year-old daughter Lea De Seine with former partner Irina Shayk.

A source told People in January 2025 that their daughters had spent “time together.” “It’s very sweet,” the insider said. Another source added, “They are busy with work, but also prioritize their relationship and daughters.”

Their relationship had another major public moment only a month before the August ring sighting.

On July 3, 2026, the couple attended her close friend Taylor Swift‘s wedding to Travis Kelce at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Then came Paris in August. Then came the rings.

And now Paris has delivered the rings again in October. That timeline certainly gives people enough material to wonder. Page Six had previously reported in July that Bradley was “considering marriage and kids with Gigi” and was prepared to propose.

Another insider described the couple as “incredibly happy and are in their own bubble.” But no marriage confirmation followed. Yet. What followed instead was something arguably more intriguing: two Boucheron bands arriving on their left ring fingers and then refusing to disappear.

The Rings May Be Saying Exactly as Much as They Want Them To

There is another possibility here, and it may suit the couple better than any neat traditional label. Their rings could simply mean something intensely personal to them.

The jewelers speaking to ELLE repeatedly pointed out that modern relationship jewelry does not always follow the old engagement-ring, wedding-band rulebook.

Ali explained that couples increasingly use rings to mark commitments and milestones without necessarily making those pieces public declarations of a legal marriage. “Some couples exchange rings as symbols of commitment before they’re legally married,” she said.

Others may choose bands instead of traditional engagement rings or mark meaningful moments with completely different pieces of jewelry. That leaves Gigi and Bradley’s bands in a fascinating little gray area.

They are made by the same French jewelry house. Both designs are officially sold as wedding bands. They are being worn on the conventional wedding-ring finger. And now they have appeared there on more than one occasion.

Still, the only two people who can explain precisely what those bands mean have not done so. Perhaps that is exactly how they like it.

Selma Blair, 54, pleaded not guilty in New York on Monday night, October 12, 2026, following allegations that she assaulted several people during and after a Delta flight to John F. Kennedy International Airport.

As she became tearful in court, her attorneys described circumstances that raise an unsettling question: could she have been in serious trouble before anyone on that plane realized it?

How Did Selma End Up Possibly Facing Years Behind Bars?

The stakes are painfully high for the actress who once played a Harvard law student. According to Page Six, Selma was charged with two counts of second-degree assault and faces between two and seven years in prison if convicted.

The state charges concern alleged assaults on a Port Authority police officer and a hospital nurse. Both allegedly occurred after a confrontation aboard a commercial aircraft, extending the incident well beyond the flight itself.

Selma appeared before Judge Indira Khan with defense attorneys Shawn Barnes and Joshua Reitzas. Indira set bail at $20,000 cash, $60,000 bond, or a $60,000 partially secured bond, and Selma was subsequently released.

During the arraignment, one of her lawyers wiped tears from Selma’s face. The court adjourned her case until January 19, 2027. The judge also granted an order of protection for the nurse Selma allegedly assaulted.

Those legal developments came only days after a very different New York appearance. On October 1, Selma had attended the Anti-Defamation League’s “State of the Arts: An Evening at The Jewish Museum,” where she appeared to be in good spirits.

Fans may also remember her from “Cruel Intentions,” “The Sweetest Thing,” and the “Hellboy” films. Now, the allegations involve a flight crew, emergency responders, and a hospital worker, with investigators examining how the episode unfolded.

To understand why her lawyers are focusing on the period before boarding, the flight itself needs to be retraced first.

What Happened Before the Plane Reached JFK?

The Delta aircraft was heading to JFK on Sunday, October 11, when Selma allegedly became physically aggressive toward members of the cabin crew.

According to TMZ, she allegedly punched one flight attendant and bit another while the aircraft was still in the air. Law enforcement sources said she was placed in restraints aboard the plane.

Dispatch audio obtained by the outlet captured requests for medical personnel to meet the aircraft at the gate. The injuries discussed included a bloody nose and bite marks, while a later update described a laceration suffered by one attendant.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey confirmed that two flight attendants reported injuries. One was taken to a hospital.

The same dispatch audio included another alarming account: the passenger had apparently struck her head against a bulkhead. Police were waiting when the aircraft landed, and Selma was arrested.

An eyewitness recording obtained by TMZ captured her screaming as she exited the plane, with an alarm audible in the background. The recording documented her distress during that part of the response; the explanation her legal team would later offer had yet to emerge.

Delta addressed the incident through a spokesperson, saying, “Delta has zero tolerance for unruly or unlawful behavior, as the safety of our customers and crew always comes first.”

For the injured crew members, the response required medical attention as well as law enforcement. Selma, meanwhile, was taken to a hospital for evaluation. But the journey from the airport to that hospital brought further allegations.

Why Did the Ambulance Ride Bring More Charges?

Law enforcement sources told TMZ that Selma allegedly kicked a Port Authority police officer in the head repeatedly while traveling in an ambulance.

Upon reaching the hospital, she reportedly assaulted a nurse. The nurse pressed charges, and those two alleged encounters became the basis for the state assault counts.

The FBI was also investigating the episode aboard the aircraft. In its 1:20 p.m. Pacific Time update on October 12, TMZ reported that federal authorities had issued Selma a summons, also called a violation notice.

Law enforcement sources described the federal allegation as assault within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States. That federal action was reported separately from the two state charges addressed during her arraignment.

Earlier, while Selma was receiving treatment, a representative had offered an initial explanation: a medical situation.

“Selma experienced a medical emergency that led to the alleged conduct,” the representative told TMZ. “Upon landing, she received immediate medical attention and is currently in stable condition.”

At that point, the representative had not identified the cause of the emergency. The statement did, however, make clear that Selma’s team believed her medical state was central to understanding the incident.

Then, in court, one of her lawyers supplied the specifics behind that claim. His account reached back to her work schedule and a fall, before turning to something essential to her daily care.

What Do Her Lawyers Say Might Have Caused This Incident?

Attorney Barnes told the court that Selma had missed medication prescribed for her multiple sclerosis. He also said she had fallen and hit her head. Those were the first elements of the explanation her defense presented.

He added that she had boarded the flight after working extensive, exhausting hours on set in the days before traveling. In his account, the missed medication, head injury, and demanding work schedule all preceded the confrontation. He then pointed to the conditions during the flight.

“These factors coupled with the altitude, resulted in a state of severe confusion and disorientation,” he said. Attorney Barnes followed that with a direct rejection of the idea that she had deliberately attacked anyone:

“This was not an intentional assault.”

It is a troubling possibility, especially alongside the accounts of injuries to people trying to assist her. Whether the defense can substantiate that explanation will be part of the case ahead.

Her other representative, Attorney Reitzas, also asked the judge to consider Selma’s professional record, describing her as “the gold standard.” But Judge Khan responded firmly:

“Ms. Blair should not get special treatment because she is a celebrity.”

So, her career most likely won’t be part of this case. Her medical history, however, is another story, one that Selma has spent years discussing openly.

And for anyone who remembers her celebrating remission, there is an important part of that history that is easy to miss: she has continued to live with substantial symptoms.

Why Did Getting a Diagnosis Take So Long?

Selma received her multiple sclerosis diagnosis in August 2018 and announced it publicly that October. At the time, she believed she had likely been living with the disease for at least 15 years.

MS affects the central nervous system and can interfere with the signals between the brain and body. Symptoms can include muscle weakness, changes in vision, numbness, and difficulties with memory.

For Selma, the years without answers had also damaged the way she understood herself. Speaking to “Today,” she described wondering whether she was imagining her symptoms and feeling “broken inside” before learning that she was ill.

During a February 6, 2025, appearance on the same show, she spoke about parenting her son, Arthur, while unknowingly living with MS. Fatigue had been her biggest problem, and she remembered asking other parents how they managed their own exhaustion.

She was trying to make sense of what was happening using the experience of the people around her. Her diagnosis eventually gave her a different answer.

In an interview with Us Weekly, Selma also discussed using alcohol to cope with spasms before she knew their cause. She became sober in 2016, two years before receiving her diagnosis. That same year, she had been removed from a flight on a stretcher after an outburst.

Ultimately, learning she had MS helped her reconsider years of self-blame. She spoke about wanting happiness while living without an explanation for the symptoms that had made life so difficult. “I could’ve been kinder to myself,” she told the magazine.

What Was Remission Really Like for Her?

Selma entered remission in 2021, reporting that no new lesions were forming. But recovery took longer than she had expected. The actress told “Today” that she was getting back on track. “I’m still here,” she said, acknowledging that a few years earlier she had not expected to be.

Her accounts of daily life help explain why remission could coexist with pain. In a November 2023 interview with Kristen Welker for NBC News, Selma said she was improving while still experiencing pain every day.

She also talked about having dystonia, explaining how it can affect her speech and lead others to misunderstand what they are seeing. “So there can be a lot of discrimination and confusion, I think, with people thinking I’m putting something on,” she said.

“But the real fact is I really am in pain all the time.”

Selma has described stiffness that persists despite attempts to relieve it through treatments or massage. Alongside that internal discomfort, the actress has said she cannot feel someone touching her skin. She has also disclosed having Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a connective tissue disorder.

These are experiences she has chosen to share publicly. They also show how much can be happening beyond what an audience sees during a cheerful interview or an evening out.

Her health updates have included setbacks, too. In September 2025, Selma revealed that she had believed her remission was relapse-free until a new doctor determined that she had experienced another relapse.

After a period of feeling unwell, she was offered a newly available medication that improved her symptoms. By the following spring, she was speaking with real enthusiasm about what she could do again.

What Had Selma Been Looking Forward to This Year?

During her April 14, 2026, appearance on “Today,” Selma said she was feeling well and confirmed that she was relapse-free. “You know, I’m tired a lot. That’s the truth of it,” she added.

She credited happiness and makeup with helping her through. The actress was also excited to get back to work in the upcoming “Ethan Almighty” film. After years of illness interrupting her life, being able to act once more was something she welcomed.

Away from the set, Selma had returned to riding her horse. She also noticed improvements when moving through narrow spaces, including hallways, which had previously triggered changes in her movement and speech.

“I have a lot of gains. You know, I really do,” she said.

Those gains gave her opportunities to do more while she felt well. She wanted to make use of that time, and she hoped sharing it would encourage others facing the same. That wish has also shaped her advocacy.

In 2023, she worked with longtime friend and designer Isaac Mizrahi on an adaptive clothing line. In 2026, she collaborated with MERSEA on a sleepwear and loungewear collection. A portion of the proceeds benefits the American Brain Foundation, for which she serves as a global ambassador.

She has documented her experience through a film, social media updates, and interviews, including conversations about parenting with MS. Her willingness to speak has often come from wanting other people to feel less alone.

“I found that people really were so grateful and there really was a need for people to be able to get more information without stigma,” she said on “Today.”

Now, that very public medical history sits alongside serious allegations that remain unresolved. Selma has pleaded not guilty, the people allegedly injured have their own place in the case, and her lawyers have offered an explanation they will have to support.

For now, the question raised in that emotional courtroom remains open: what happened to Selma before and during that flight? Her defense says the answer begins before boarding, and her next court date will bring the case into a new year.

Presley had faced difficult years, and toward the end of his life, he had become increasingly willing to talk about what he was going through. His family knew far more about that struggle than the public ever could, but they continued looking toward whatever might come next.

Long before Presley was born, however, Cindy had already watched her own mother carry a kind of grief she would later say she could barely imagine. Years afterward, Cindy put that feeling into words without knowing how personally those words would one day return to her.

Presley Took a Very Different Path

Only weeks before Presley’s death, Kaia spoke about his decade-long struggle with drug addiction. She described herself as “the easy one,” the child who tried not to need too much while her brother was going through so much.

Yet Kaia also spoke warmly about how open Presley had become. In Vogue, she called him an “absolute teacher” and remembered his attitude as “I’m gonna be very human for everyone.”

Cindy and Rande remained closely involved, with a person near the family later saying they continued supporting him through those difficult years. And while Presley was trying to move forward, Cindy was still imagining the ordinary family milestones she hoped were waiting for them.

Only 10 days before Presley’s death, Cindy was still talking about that future in the easy way parents often do once their children are grown. She was looking beyond the difficult years and picturing another generation of her family.

In an interview published on September 10, she said, “One thing I really am looking forward to is being a grandmother. I’m at the age where a lot of my friends are starting to have grandkids, and even though I don’t think either one of my kids is close, I do hope I get to experience that, because it looks really fun.”

At the time, it sounded like an ordinary wish from a mother watching her children build adult lives. Ten days later, the future she had been casually picturing looked completely different.

Then Came the Words No Mother Wants to Hear

After Presley’s death, one person who knew the family said, “They were so close.” Cindy was grieving someone who had remained deeply woven into her everyday family life, not simply the son the public had watched grow up.

“What you saw online and in the press wasn’t just for that purpose. They were a tight-knit family and [sister] Kaia and Presley were more than just siblings. Cindy has to be beyond gutted.” The family people had watched smiling together at events was suddenly trying to understand an absence none of them had expected.

Another source put Cindy’s present state even more starkly: “Cindy is inconsolable. She’s absolutely devastated. This is every parent’s worst nightmare, and the family is still trying to process everything that happened.” But years before anyone described Cindy that way, she had spoken about another mother who had already lived through that nightmare.

An old interview began in a completely ordinary place. Cindy was simply describing her children, their personalities, and the little differences she had noticed between them as they grew.

“My son is more like Rande and my daughter’s definitely more me. She likes school and she cares. My son is more like my husband. School is something to be tolerated for the PE, break time and his friends.” It is the kind of memory that preserves Presley at a very different age, before adulthood brought struggles his family could never have predicted.

Then the conversation moved away from Presley and Kaia and back toward Cindy’s own childhood. There, another mother had already faced something young Cindy could see but could not yet fully understand.

Then History Began to Repeat Itself

Cindy remembered looking at her own mother while growing up and sometimes wondering why everything life had thrown at her had not made her angrier. What stayed with Cindy was that the pain had not erased the person she knew.

“Growing up, I sometimes felt she should have been angry or outraged and she wasn’t. She had a son that died. My dad had an affair and they divorced.” Even as a child, Cindy could see that her mother had been asked to carry more than most people ever expect.

She continued, “Those were painful things for her but they didn’t take away from her light as a person.” By the time Cindy gave that interview, becoming a mother herself had already changed the way she looked back at those memories.

Then came the words that are much harder to read today: “Now I’m a mum myself I’ve really come to appreciate her outlook on life. I can’t imagine the pain of losing a child. He was four when he died. He was sick for two years.”

The little boy she was talking about was her younger brother, Jeff, who died after battling leukemia. Cindy had spent much of her life knowing what happened when a family lost a son, but for years, she knew that grief as a sister and a daughter.

She also once put into words what losing Jeff so young had done to the way she approached the rest of her life: “I think that when you experience that kind of loss at such a young age, you don’t take life for granted as much as maybe someone who hasn’t.” But motherhood would bring Cindy closer still to the loss she had spent years watching from the outside.

The Question Presley’s Birth Triggered

Cindy revisited Jeff’s death decades later and explained what changed after she became a mother herself. Suddenly, the loss she had witnessed as a child seemed almost impossible to comprehend from her new position as a parent.

In 2024, she recalled, “I remember when I had my first kid… then I called my mom and was like, ‘OK, how did you survive?’ You know? ‘Cause you can’t imagine losing a child until you have a child.” That first child was Presley.

In another conversation, Cindy explained that she made the call only 2 days after giving birth, when her mother’s loss suddenly felt “actually unimaginable.” Holding her own baby had changed how she understood the little boy her mother had once held.

Jeff’s death had left another mark on Cindy that she did not fully understand when she was young. In 2024, she opened upabout the survivor’s guilt she and her sisters carried after losing the only boy among the siblings.

Their father had badly wanted a son, and Jeff had been that child. After his death, Cindy remembered the girls being left with a frightening thought — perhaps one of them should have died instead — and she said similar nightmares followed the sisters for years.

What She Finally Understood

Only much later, while working with a coach, did Cindy realize what she herself had needed someone to say. Her family could be heartbroken that Jeff was gone while still being grateful that Cindy was there.

For a girl who had spent years carrying the thought that perhaps one of the sisters should have died instead, those words came very late. They did not make Jeff’s loss smaller, but they separated his absence from the guilt Cindy had quietly carried alongside it.

Years later, Cindy would raise a son and a daughter of her own and watch their relationship grow into something she spoke about with particular pride. That made the bond between Presley and Kaia another deeply personal part of the family story she valued.

The Prayer Cindy Never Forgot

There was another memory of Jeff that never really left the family. It was not about a hospital room or treatment, but about a 4-year-old boy quietly worrying about what would happen to his mother after he was gone.

Cindy recalled, “One day, my mom, who was raised a devout Baptist, found [my brother] sitting at his little table in his room. He had his hands crossed and she’s like, ‘What are you doing?’ He said, ‘I’m praying.’” What came next was the part of the memory that stayed with her.

Then came the answer Cindy remembered decades later: “She said, ‘What are you praying for?’ And he said, ‘So that when I die, you’ll be OK.’” Jeff was the sick child, yet in that memory, his attention was on the mother he knew would still be there after him.

Jeff’s death stayed with Cindy, and childhood cancer became one of the causes she returned to throughout her career.

Cindy became a longtime supporter of the pediatric oncology program at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where Jeff had been treated. She explained, “Because my brother died of blood cancer — leukemia — those are things that I have been involved with for many years now.”

Jeff’s Story Stayed With Her

Cindy also donated proceeds from projects, including her calendars, to medical research, keeping Jeff’s story connected to parts of the career she built years after his death. Jeff’s story continued shaping her choices for decades.

The family moments Cindy later shared with Presley and Kaia belonged to a completely different chapter of her life. They showed children growing up, careers beginning, birthdays passing, and all the ordinary evidence of time moving forward.

That is also why the words Cindy spoke only days before Presley’s death now land so heavily. She was still expecting more time — more ordinary family milestones, more changes, and perhaps one day grandchildren.

The contrast now sits in Cindy’s own words. Years ago, she said she could not imagine the pain of losing a child; on September 10, she was still looking ahead to grandchildren and the family milestones she hoped would come next.

After Presley’s death, people close to her described her as “inconsolable” and “absolutely devastated.” The words Cindy spoke years earlier have not changed — the life around them has.

For Cindy, there may not yet be any larger meaning to pull from what happened. There is simply a mother grieving a son she remained close to, while the people around her try to help carry a loss that is still painfully new.

There may be memories that are simply too difficult to revisit now, while others may become the ones Cindy holds closest. The small things — his humor, the way he spoke, family habits, private conversations, and photographs never meant for anyone else — can remain theirs.

Grief does not ask a mother to make sense of everything at once. For now, Cindy can simply miss her son, stay close to the people who loved him too, and carry the pieces of Presley that belonged only to their family.

Some stories do not end with a lesson or a perfect final sentence. They simply continue, one day after another, in the people who are still here.

The couple were spotted walking hand in hand weeks after the reported death of their son, Presley. While some viewers expressed concern for the grieving parents and their marriage, others focused on a surprising detail in the photographs.

Cindy and Rande Spotted During Malibu Outing

The supermodel and the businessman were photographed during an outing at Zuma Beach in Malibu, California.

As reported by TMZ, on October 10, 2026, the sighting followed the reported death of their son, Presley, last month. The couple walked together in athletic clothing, holding hands as they made their way along the shore.

Cindy wore a loose, long-sleeve white top, black leggings, dark sneakers, sunglasses, and a baseball cap. Her hair fell over her shoulders, and she appeared to carry a phone in her free hand.

Rande chose a white T-shirt, navy shorts, dark athletic shoes, and a baseball cap. Their similar outfits gave the pair a coordinated look.

In the photograph, Rande walked to Cindy’s left. Both faced forward, with their hands joined between them. Neither appeared to be posing for the camera. Cindy wore sunglasses, while both had baseball caps on.

Netizens React to the Couple’s Appearance

On Facebook, one netizen noticed the couple’s similar outfits and asked, “But are they wearing matching outfits?” Another user commented on Cindy’s appearance, “She looks pretty shaken up 😢.” A third person shared a somber reaction: “They look broken 😞.”

In a separate discussion, the conversation shifted from the couple’s appearance to their family circumstances.

One netizen referred to social media posts they claimed to have seen from Presley: “I saw his posts about his mother. It broke my heart. He was in so much pain & angry with mom. Having that in public and the loss. Just devastating.”

Another commenter raised the subject of addiction, stating, “All the money resources and connections in the world were powerless over addiction.”

Meanwhile, someone else considered how the tragedy might affect Cindy and Rande‘s relationship: “This is going to make or break up a relationship! I hope this brings them even closer! They all need each other! More than ever before! Love conquers all!!!”

The couple’s Malibu outing came weeks after they were first photographed leaving their late son Presley Gerber’s Hollywood home.

On Monday, September 21, a day after Presley’s death at a Santa Monica rehabilitation facility, Cindy and Rande were seen departing the property together. Rande drove their black Range Rover while Cindy sat beside him wearing dark sunglasses. At one point, she raised her hand while speaking to her husband.

The Family Had Already Asked for Privacy

Presley died on Sunday, September 20, at the age of 27. His death is being investigated as a suspected overdose, although authorities have not yet announced an official cause.

The first announcement of his death included a brief request from the people who loved him most. A representative for Cindy, Rande, and their 25-year-old daughter, Kaia Gerber, said, “The family is asking for privacy during this very difficult and painful time.”

Only a day later, Cindy and Rande were photographed outside Presley’s home. According to the report, they departed the Hollywood property together in a black Range Rover.

Rande sat behind the wheel while Cindy occupied the passenger seat, her eyes hidden beneath dark sunglasses. The supermodel maintained a low profile, but at one point, she raised her hand while speaking to her husband.

It was a painfully ordinary movement captured during circumstances no parent should ever have to face. The photos provided the first public sight of the couple since the tragedy. They also showed how little space there can be between private anguish and public attention when a famous family is grieving.

Cindy’s sunglasses concealed much of her expression, while Rande remained focused from the driver’s seat. Still, the heaviness inside the vehicle was impossible to miss.

When the images were shared on X, the response centered less on how the couple looked and more on whether such a vulnerable journey should have been photographed at all. One person pleaded, “You know you could just not photograph them on the worst day of their lives…”

Another condemned the intrusion, writing, “This family is going through hell, leave them alone. The paparazzi is so heartless [sic].” A third was horrified by the timing: “Please don’t tell me you’re stalking their house right after their only son died🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️.”

Someone else appealed directly for tenderness toward the family, commenting, “This is a very sad, private and tragic event. Please MEDIA give them peace and send them love instead. Be human.”

Those reactions echoed the request Cindy, Rande, and Kaia had already made. In the first hours after Presley’s death, the family had asked to mourn privately, and the images showed just how difficult securing that could be.

His Final Hours Remain Under Investigation

Presley had reportedly arrived at the luxury Resolutions Living rehabilitation facility in Santa Monica on Saturday night, only hours before he died. Sources who said they encountered him during those final hours claimed he did not appear sober when he checked in to seek help for substance abuse issues.

According to a later account, Presley stayed in a separate residence on the facility’s grounds and had roommates. He was found unresponsive there the following morning.

Emergency services were called at approximately 9:35 a.m. after a report of a possible overdose in the 1000 block of Berkeley Street. According to People, dispatch recordings identified the emergency as a “cardiac arrest” at an unnamed facility.

Responding officers found an adult man who was not responsive and attempted lifesaving measures. Paramedics pronounced Presley dead at 9:45 a.m., approximately 10 minutes after the call.

The Santa Monica Police Department said, “SMPD detectives are investigating the death as a suspected overdose. At this time, there is no indication of foul play. The investigation remains ongoing.”

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner offered similarly cautious language while authorities continued examining the circumstances. “The investigation is still ongoing, and there is limited information available,” its statement read.

An autopsy had been completed by Monday morning, and Presley’s body was ready to be released. The official cause of death, however, remained undetermined.

The abrupt end to Presley’s attempt to receive treatment made the loss especially painful. Presley had spoken openly about his difficulties over the years. In January 2019, he was arrested for driving under the influence, and later that year, he received three years of probation, a requirement to complete a DUI program, and two days of community service.

His final decision to enter treatment suggested that he was once again seeking help. Instead, Cindy and Rande were photographed leaving his home less than 48 hours after he arrived at the facility.

Cindy Never Stopped Fighting for Her Son

Presley was Cindy and Rande’s only son, but the bond between him and his mother extended far beyond that description. People close to the family portrayed Cindy as an intensely devoted parent who had spent years remaining involved in every part of her children’s lives.

“They were so close,” one source told Page Six. “What you saw online and in the press wasn’t just for that purpose. They were a tight-knit family and [sister] Kaia and Presley were more than just siblings. Cindy has to be beyond gutted.”

A second source described the reality inside the family in even more painful terms. “Cindy is inconsolable. She’s absolutely devastated. This is every parent’s worst nightmare, and the family is still trying to process everything that happened.”

Cindy had reportedly been her son’s strongest cheerleader and a hands-on presence throughout his life. Although it remains unclear how Presley entered treatment, a source insisted that his mother had always wanted to secure the best possible care for him.

“Cindy was extremely involved in everything when it came to Kaia and Presley growing up,” the insider said. “She never missed a school function and was on top of everything when it came to her kids.”

That same dedication apparently continued as her children became adults. “I’m sure that Cindy would make sure her kid was going to the best rehab though,” the source added. “That’s the kind of mom she was. She was so involved in everything for them.”

For Cindy, the loss meant saying goodbye to the son she had spent his entire life protecting. For Rande, it meant driving away from Presley’s home with his grieving wife beside him, both of them facing an absence that had become real with terrifying speed.

Kaia was also left without the brother with whom she reportedly shared an unusually close relationship. According to the source, theirs was a bond that went deeper than ordinary sibling affection.

Presley’s death has even reached far beyond his immediate family. He was reportedly well-liked among the people who grew up alongside him, and those friendships have been shaken by his sudden loss. “The entire friend group is devastated,” the source said.

The family’s representatives have made no further public statement beyond their request for privacy. With the police investigation still active and the medical examiner yet to determine how Presley died, Cindy, Rande, and Kaia are grieving while the world waits for answers that may be painful to receive.

The first photographs of Cindy and Rande after Presley Gerber‘s death reveal no dramatic display and no carefully prepared public message. They show two parents inside a car, leaving their son’s home and enduring a private nightmare in the public eye.

The billionaire producer, born Andre Romelle Young, has fathered children across multiple relationships spanning decades. While some grew up in his orbit, others say they grew up wondering if he knew they existed at all.

What makes his family story particularly striking is not just the sheer number of children involved — it is who he chose to raise, and who claims they were left behind. And at least one child he raised was not even biologically his.

The Eldest Had to Take a DNA Test to Meet His Own Father

Dre’s oldest known child is Curtis Young, born December 15, 1981, to then-girlfriend Cassandra Joy Greene. Dre was just 17. The relationship ended quickly, and Cassandra married another man, Andre Weeks, who became Curtis’s stepfather.

Curtis grew up in Compton without knowing who his biological father was — until age 12, when his stepfather, in a moment of rage, blurted it out mid-argument.

For years after that revelation, Curtis tried to make contact, but his stepfather blocked it. It wasn’t until his parents separated, when he was 15, that he finally reached out. Even then, getting to Dr. Dre was no simple task.

“I ended up getting one of his lawyers’ numbers, and that’s how I got a hold of him. Then we took the DNA test.” It came back 99.9% positive.

Curtis was 20 by the time he finally met his father face to face — at Skybar in Hollywood. He described the moment as almost surreal: “It was like looking in the mirror seeing him face to face.” He added: “We couldn’t look at each other because we looked so much alike.”

The Daughters Who Say They Were Left Behind

Around two years after Curtis was born, Dre had a daughter, LaTanya, with ex-girlfriend Lisa Johnson in January 1983. Johnson was 15 at the time; Dre was also a teenager.

Shortly after, he fathered another daughter, Tyra, with a woman named LaVetta Washington, born in May 1984.

Two more daughters followed with Johnson: LaToya, in September 1984, and Ashley, in November 1985.

Lisa later alleged that Dre did not pay child support voluntarily and that a court had to compel him to do so, long after he had become a star.

Ashley, speaking candidly in a video, recalled that growing up, she did not even know her father was famous. “At first when I was little, I didn’t know he was my dad. I had other people coming up to me saying ‘Oh, you know who your daddy is?'”

Her sister LaToya was even more candid in the same video. “I love being my dad’s daughter. I love kicking it with my dad, but it’s like we can’t [ever] kick it with him cuz he’s always doing something,” she said. “My dad stays right down the street from me. I mean that’s not — that’s like 5 minutes away from where I stay so there’s no excuse to me.”

LaToya went further: “I don’t give a [] how old I get. I don’t give a [] if I’m 88 years old and my Pop’s still around… I still want to be like ‘Daddy, I love you[…]’ Why I got to get treated like a straight stepchild or a groupie? I’m your blood daughter.”

The Daughter Living in Her Car

In 2021, the most jarring story came from LaTanya, the eldest daughter. While Forbes confirmed Dre had become a billionaire, LaTanya revealed she was homeless and sleeping in a rental SUV.

The then-38-year-old was working as a DoorDash and Uber Eats driver and as a warehouse assembler earning $15 an hour. She was a single mother of four and said she had not seen her father in 18 years — and didn’t even have his cell phone number.

“My kids are staying with friends – they are not living in the car, it’s just me,” she told Daily Mail. She added, “I’m homeless and I’ve been reaching out to my dad for help. His lawyer has said that my dad doesn’t want to help me because I’ve spoken about him in the press.”

Her children, she said, were old enough to understand the situation. “My kids are old enough to know who he is. They are in shock that he doesn’t want anything to do with them.”

The Son Who Didn’t Make It

In 1991, Dre’s then-girlfriend Michel’le gave birth to a son named Marcel. Michel’le — who later spoke publicly about suffering physical abuse during their relationship, including “black eyes, a cracked rib and scars” — said Dre initially wanted nothing to do with the boy and had to be taken to court for child support.

He eventually came around after family losses brought them closer. When Michel’le lost both her mother and grandmother, Dre became more involved in Marcel’s life. Then came the tragedy.

Andre Romelle Young Jr., Dre’s son with Jenita Porter, was found unresponsive in his Woodland Hills home on August 23, 2008. He was 20. His cause of death was ruled an accidental overdose of heroin and morphine.

The Child He Raised Who Wasn’t His

In 1996, Dre married Nicole Threatt, the ex-wife of NBA player Sedale Threatt. Nicole had a son named Tyler from that marriage — and Dre helped raise him as his own.

The couple also had two biological children together: a son, Truice, and a daughter, Truly. Truly, now in her mid-20s has spoken warmly of her upbringing.

“My dad gave me the name Truly,” she told Vogue. “He just thought it was beautiful.” She described parents who let her explore freely: “My mom and dad allowed me to try anything without fear of being judged.”

The Marriage That Ended in Court

Nicole filed for divorce in June 2020, ending nearly 24 years of marriage. The split was anything but quiet.

Nicole claimed in court papers that Dre had kicked her out of their home and “plotted to secretly transfer their assets, to deny Nicole her equal share.”

She also accused him of multiple instances of domestic violence, including holding a gun to her head twice — all of which he denied.

The divorce was finalized in December 2021, with Nicole receiving a $100 million settlement — $50 million immediately and another $50 million a year later. She also walked away with all her jewelry and four vehicles, including a Rolls-Royce and a Range Rover.

Back in 2015, Dre had issued a public apology, acknowledging his past behavior without addressing specific allegations.

“Twenty-five years ago, I was a young man drinking too much and in over my head with no real structure in my life. However, none of this is an excuse for what I did,” he said. “I apologize to the women I’ve hurt. I deeply regret what I did and know that it has forever impacted all of our lives.”

The Kids Making Their Own Way

Despite the turbulence, several of Dre’s children have carved out their own paths in music. Truice promotes his work independently on Instagram.

Tyler, who grew up in Dre’s household and was raised as his son, said he has branched into EDM: “I’m on my own to a certain extent… I’m just about the music.”

Curtis, too, pursued music on his own terms long before making contact with his father. “I was already working and pursuing my music before I knew who my father was,” he said. “I always want to paint him in the best light that I can.”

Dr. Dre built an empire — but the blueprint for his family is far more complicated than any album he ever produced.

Tyreek Hill has built his reputation as one of the NFL’s fastest and most dangerous wide receivers. Nicknamed Cheetah for his speed, the Miami Dolphins star had established himself as an All-Pro player by 2023.

However, developments away from the field soon brought a different part of his life into the spotlight, as three women gave birth to children he fathered within a four-month period early that year.

The births came while the wide receiver was engaged to wellness entrepreneur Keeta Vaccaro, whom he had proposed to in July 2021. Sources said Hill and Vaccaro had an on-again, off-again relationship during their engagement.

Furthermore, there was no suggestion that they were together when the three children were conceived in 2022. In fact, the couple eventually married on November 8, 2023, during the Dolphins’ bye week.

As for the three children, the first arrived on February 7, 2023, when Brittany Lackner gave birth to a son named Soul Corazon Hill. Lackner had filed a petition the previous month stating that she and Hill had intercourse in Florida in 2022 and that she was days away from giving birth.

According to her filing, a prenatal paternity test had already established Hill as the father with a probability greater than 99.9 percent. Still, after her son’s birth, Lackner claimed Hill requested another DNA test before voluntarily providing $2,500 per month in child support.

Unlike the legal disputes surrounding the other children born during the four-month period, Valmon publicly described a positive co-parenting relationship with Hill.

However, that amount became a point of contention in their legal dispute. Lackner argued that it was “woefully inadequate” given the wide receiver’s income and her own financial circumstances.

“The father is a member of the Miami Dolphins earning a salary of $30,000,000 a year pursuant to a four-year contract … in stark contrast, the mother is unemployed, has no income, is in debt, is on Medicaid, and has no means of support,” Lackner stated in the filing.

Hill responded to the case with his own paternity petition in Kansas. He proposed a joint custody arrangement and said he was “willing and able to perform parental duties for his minor child should he be determined to be the father.”

The football player also challenged Lackner’s decision to pursue the matter in Broward County, Florida. He argued that their son had been conceived in Kansas and alleged that Lackner relocated to Fort Lauderdale for “strategic” reasons.

Courts in both states ultimately determined that Florida was the appropriate jurisdiction. Meanwhile, the athlete additionally sought to keep his complete financial information from becoming public.

However, an affidavit obtained during the proceedings showed that he had grossed $1,540,285 per month in 2021. His listed monthly expenses included $13,500 in child support and $31,677 in household and mortgage costs associated with his $7 million, seven-bedroom home in Southwest Ranches, Florida.

Then, just over a month after his son with Lackner was born, Hill became a father again. Camille Valmon welcomed Tyreek D’Shaun Hill Jr. on March 12, 2023.

Unlike the legal disputes surrounding the other children born during the four-month period, she publicly described a positive co-parenting relationship with the NFL star.

Valmon, who was 33 at the time and had founded a healthcare app with her sister, Gabrielle, shared multiple photographs on social media showing Hill spending time with their son.

When interest in the NFL player’s personal life intensified in December 2023, she declined to weigh in on his relationships with the other women.

“I can’t speak on anything else that he has going on outside of our parenting relationship because it’s simply none of my business,” Valmon said. She did, however, defend Hill as a parent, adding:

“But what I will say is he is a great father not only to our son but to all of his children.”

Two months after Hill and Valmon welcomed their son, a third woman came forward over another child. Kimberly Baker claimed in May 2023 that the wide receiver was the father of her newborn daughter, Trae Love Hill.

The little girl had been conceived when Baker and the football player were together in August 2022. DNA evidence subsequently established Hill’s paternity, which he accepted in court filings.

According to Baker’s case, the football player had also been paying her $2,500 per month, while she claimed the actual cost of caring for their daughter was closer to $10,000 each month.

Hill sought to have Baker’s Florida case dismissed, arguing that she lived in Los Angeles and therefore lacked grounds to pursue the paternity action in the state.

Her attorneys pushed back against that argument while criticizing what they characterized as his lack of involvement with his daughter. Baker’s lawyers wrote:

“Before an unmarried father may be accorded standing to assert an interest in parental responsibility and/or timesharing, he must demonstrate that he has manifested substantial concern for the welfare of the child.”

They went further in the filing, alleging, “The father has in fact demonstrated utter and abject unconcern for the child in wholly failing to act as a parent and is completely failing to support the child.”

The three births added to a family that already included children Hill shared with his former fiancée, Crystal Espinal. Hill and Espinal had a son, Zev Carter, and twins, Nakeem and Nyla.

By 2023, the births of Soul, Tyreek Jr., and Trae within four months had again placed Hill’s family life in the public eye, this time as his relationship with Vaccaro was moving toward marriage.

While Lackner and Baker pursued paternity and support matters through the courts, Valmon publicly defended the NFL star’s role as a father to their son.

The three women’s circumstances differed, but the close timing of their children’s births connected their stories as details of Hill’s personal life emerged alongside his high-profile NFL career. Photos of Lackner, Valmon, Baker, and one of the sons Hill shares with the women can be found below.
