Everything to Know About Taylor Swift's 'The Tortured Poets Department': Music Videos, Collabs and More

<p>Introducing, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/jennifer-love-hewitt" target="_blank">Jennifer Love Hewitt</a>'s kids! The <em><a href="https://www.fox.com/9-1-1/" target="_blank">9-1-1</a></em> actress has shared the first official image of her three children's faces as they're featured prominently on the cover of her new book.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On Wednesday, Hewitt posted the cover artwork for <em>Inheriting Magic: My Journey Through Grief, Joy, Celebration, And Making Every Day Magical. </em>The whimsical art was created by digital artist&nbsp;Vanessa Rivera and shows the 45-year-old actress seated while holding a wand in one hand and a book in the other. She's surrounded by her kids -- 10-year-old Autumn, 8-year-old Atticus, and 2-year-old Aidan, whom she shares with husband Brian Hallisay -- and a collection of nostalgic holiday decor.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Here it is! My new baby!" Hewitt gushed in her caption. "This incredible cover was done by an angel @the_life_of_aivax I can’t believe how lucky I was to get her for this book! Moms who create magic are special! And she is a magic maker for sure. Can’t wait for you guys to read it! @benbellabooks"</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.instagram.com/p/C53on4HRfmQ/">&nbsp;</div>

<p>Hewitt took to her Instagram Story to address more about what fans can expect to find in the pages of her book.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It is a love letter to my mom [Patricia Mae Hewitt]," she begins her video. "It is a little bit of a memoir. It's my journey through grief and how in grief I was afraid that I had lost magic in my life, only to find more magic. How my kids have inspired me to create magic every day."&nbsp;</p>

<p>She noted that fans will get a closer look at the birthday parties she has thrown for her kids, as well as an inside look at "what our life is."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ultimately, Hewitt hopes her story will inspire fellow moms.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"That magic can be whatever magic means to you, whatever special things you can do," she says. "I know as moms, we're busy. It's hard to do anything extra some days. I had that this morning when I forgot to make school lunches, truth be told, so I get it. But a little extra thought, a little extra using your heart, creates magical memories for your kids. It creates magical memories for you. You will remember them forever."&nbsp;</p>

<p>As for the title, she's calling that an official tribute to <a href="https://www.etonline.com/jennifer-love-hewitt-pays-tribute-to-her-late-moms-magic-104064" rel="" target="_blank">her later mother, Patricia,</a> who died of cancer in 2012.</p>

<p>"I inherited magic from my favorite person in the world, my mommy, who I miss every day," she says.&nbsp;</p>

<p><em>Inheriting Magic</em>, from <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/770344/inheriting-magic-by-jennifer-love-hewitt/" rel="" target="_blank">Penguin Random House</a>,<em>&nbsp;</em>is available now for pre-order.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As for the stunning cover art, Hewitt reveals on her Instagram Story that she <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CyoBZIur_2I/?img_index=1" rel="" target="_blank">discovered the artist Rivera</a> one morning while browsing Pinterest.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I saw her pictures that she was creating with her family, saw some of her stories, I loved her vibe," Hewitt gushes. "She seemed like a magical making mom."</p>

<p>Hewitt reached out to tell Rivera about the book and, she says, "We connected as moms and she agreed to do this incredible cover."&nbsp;</p>

<p>A peek at Rivera's Instagram page reveals fascinating details behind her process, which involves initial photography followed by hundreds of Photoshop layers to achieve dream-like results.&nbsp;</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.instagram.com/p/C2xvgnougBe/">&nbsp;</div>

<p>While Hewitt had previously kept her kids' images under wraps, the actress was open about her experiences as a mother <a href="https://www.etonline.com/jennifer-love-hewitt-on-returning-to-911-after-giving-birth-exploring-postpartum-depression" rel="" target="_blank">when chatting with ET in 2022</a>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Shortly after Hewitt welcomed her third child, ET caught up with the actress about her emotional return to the set of <em>9-1-1</em>. At the time, she was portraying a new mom struggling with an extreme case of postpartum depression.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"What made this part interesting is having to go back to work with a four-and-a-half-month-old, five-month-old baby," she reflected.&nbsp;"I was so very much in my own&nbsp;postpartum journey. Having to play Maddie in the middle of hers, which is a little bit different than mine, but having to do that every day --&nbsp;it was really hard. But it was also very cathartic and really interesting. I feel it kind of helped me in my own journey, sort of pushed through faster and be able to have a place to put it and to understand all those things that we could go through as women."</p>

<p>While giving it her all on set, she was equally committed to keeping the magic alive at home.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It was scary for sure because I was like, 'Wow, this is intense.'&nbsp;I know the storyline a little too well at the moment... and being a mom with two other kids, you have to come home from doing all that stuff during the day and then you have to be smiley and have rainbows shooting out of your eyeballs because they need joy and happiness," Hewitt admitted.&nbsp;"It was a lot to balance, but it was very, very important to me, for the audience, to tell the story. For women out there to tell the story&nbsp;and the story really handles more than just postpartum depression. It handles depression in general and it handles people that feel maybe suicide is an option for them. We really run the gamut. We talk about all of the things that wrap back into the story&nbsp;and it was very important."</p>

Jennifer Love Hewitt Shares First Image of All 3 of Her Kids on 'Inheriting Magic' Book Cover

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/ryan-reynolds" target="_blank">Ryan Reynolds</a> is offering his profound gratitude to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/michael-j-fox" rel="" target="_blank">Michael J. Fox</a>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The <em>Deadpool </em>actor sings Fox's praises in a blurb written for&nbsp;the <a href="https://time.com/6963869/michael-j-fox/" rel="" target="_blank">2024&nbsp;<em>TIME 100</em></a><em>,</em> the mag's annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world, published this week. In his remarks, he shares how Fox's impact is being felt by younger generations, including the children he shares with wife <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/blake-lively" rel="" target="_blank">Blake Lively</a>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Last year I watched&nbsp;<em>Back to the Future</em>&nbsp;with my 8-year-old daughter," he shares, referencing the couple's eldest daughter, James. "It's become her favorite film. And for now, that's enough for me -- and her. One more kid from one more generation sees what I saw."</p>

<p>Reynolds and Lively, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/blake-lively-and-ryan-reynolds-welcome-baby-no-4-a-timeline-of-their-love-story-196515" rel="" target="_blank">who wed in 2012</a>, are the proud parents of four little ones. In addition to James, they also share 7-year-old daughter Inez and 4-year-old daughter Betty, as well as a <a href="https://www.etonline.com/blake-lively-gives-birth-welcomes-baby-no-4-with-ryan-reynolds-195449" rel="" target="_blank">one-year-old baby</a> whose name and gender has not been made public.&nbsp;</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-caption="Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="7c3bc613-b7b8-4acb-8ac1-20cf537cca98" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>"I know how lucky I am to call Mike a friend," Reynolds continues his tribute. "She still has no idea that I know him. I don't need to teach my daughter the level of compassion Mike has mastered. Or teach her to tell stories the way Mike tells stories. I need to teach her that it's OK to fall a lot. It's the absolute best way to know you're flying."</p>

<p>Reynolds says he met Fox 17 years ago and that the <em>Spin City</em> star helped his dad "feel less alone" amid his battle with Parkinson's disease.</p>

<p>Fox, 62, was <a href="https://www.etonline.com/michael-j-fox-shares-health-update-amid-parkinsons-battle-reacts-to-baftas-standing-ovation-222748" rel="" target="_blank">diagnosed with the progressive disorder</a> in 1991 when he was only 29 years old.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Reynolds, 47, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/news/174908_ryan_reynolds_father_dies_after_battle_with_parkinson_disease" rel="" target="_blank">lost his father to Parkinson's in 2015</a> and has sat <a href="https://www.michaeljfox.org/bio/ryan-reynolds" rel="" target="_blank">on the board</a> of&nbsp;The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research since 2009.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I know Michael J. Fox. Like, I know him pretty damn well," Reynolds explains. "He’s funny. He’s warm. He’s handsome and intensely smart. He also falls a lot. Not just because he has Parkinson’s. He falls a lot because he’s unafraid to fly."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-caption="Michael J. Fox, Ryan Reynolds and Tracy Pollan attend A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Cure Parkinson&amp;#039;s benefitting The Michael J.

<p>This isn't the first time Reynolds has written a heartfelt profile for <em>Time</em>. Back in <a href="https://time.com/collection/time100-next-2022/6213722/joe-alwyn/" rel="" target="_blank">2022</a>, he penned a piece about close pal <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/taylor-swift" rel="" target="_blank">Taylor Swift</a>'s then-boyfriend, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/joe-alwyn" rel="" target="_blank">Joe Alwyn</a>, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/machine-gun-kelly-keke-palmer-joe-alwyn-among-stars-to-make-2022-time-100-next-list-191707" rel="" target="_blank">for the Time100 Next</a>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Swift and Alwyn eventually split, with ET <a href="https://www.etonline.com/taylor-swift-and-joe-alwyns-relationship-timeline-inside-their-private-romance-and-shocking-breakup" rel="" target="_blank">breaking the news in April 2023</a>. Now, Swift will drop her 11th studio album, <em><a href="https://www.etonline.com/everything-to-know-about-taylor-swifts-the-tortured-poets-department-music-videos-collabs-and-more" rel="" target="_blank">The Tortured Poets Department</a>,&nbsp;</em>on Friday at 12 a.m. ET. The project is expected to serve as <a href="https://www.etonline.com/taylor-swift-fans-think-her-new-album-title-is-a-reference-to-ex-joe-alwyn-heres-why-219241" rel="" target="_blank">a reference to the breakup</a>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/michael-j-fox-says-hes-open-to-acting-again-after-announcing-retirement-exclusive-222852" rel="" target="_blank">ET spoke with Fox earlier this month</a> about his lasting legacy and whether he would consider a return to acting after announcing his retirement in 2020.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"My biggest goal, I think, was to raise a family. We have four amazing kids and that's been the big thing," Fox said in reference to his wife, Tracy Pollan, whom he met on the set of&nbsp;<em>Family Ties</em>&nbsp;in 1985. "And then the other is with the foundation."</p>

<p>But as far as goals in front and behind the camera?</p>

<p>"If someone offers me a part and I do it and I have a good time, great," Fox told ET. "I mean, the documentary was a big thrill."</p>

<p>The documentary being his new project,&nbsp;<em>Still</em>, an AppleTV+ documentary that chronicles his health battle.</p>

<p>"It was fun," Fox said of filming the doc. "I never would have set that as a goal. It just happened."</p>

<p>Like Reynolds, Fox is also a dad to four kids -- although his are now grown. Fox shares 34-year-old son Sam, 29-year-old twin daughters Aquinnah and Schuyler, and 22-year-old daughter Esmé with Pollan.&nbsp;</p>

<p>When ET <a href="https://www.etonline.com/ryan-reynolds-on-how-he-and-blake-lively-are-feeling-ahead-of-baby-no-4-its-gonna-be-nuts-exclusive" rel="" target="_blank">spoke with Reynolds in late 2022</a>, he joked about the size of his growing brood.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"We're very excited," Reynolds shared. "You'd have to be a moron to do this four times if you didn't like it."</p>

Ryan Reynolds Reveals His Daughter's Favorite Film in Moving Michael J. Fox Tribute

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/megan-fox" rel="" target="_blank">Megan Fox</a> is showing off her fresh face. The 37-year-old actress is makeup free in a new post-<a href="https://www.etonline.com/event/coachella" rel="" target="_blank">Coachella</a>&nbsp;selfie, looking casual in nothing but a bra and pajama bottoms.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The look isn't fully au natural, as Fox is sporting her new blue hair color in the shot.</p>

<p>"Repairing my hair (and 26 inches of extensions) post Coachella," she captioned the image, which she snapped in a bathroom mirror.</p>

<p>When one commenter suggested that the photo could have been made via artificial intelligence, saying, "This does not look like Megan Fox AT ALL," the <em>Transformers </em>alum didn't mince words with the clap back.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Go ask&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/machinegunkelly/?hl=en" role="link" tabindex="0">@machinegunkelly</a>&nbsp;if this is ai," she zinged.&nbsp;</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.instagram.com/p/C536lI3Pn4K/">&nbsp;</div>

<p>Fox was out and about last weekend enjoying numerous Coachella festivities in Indio, California, as she attended&nbsp;Nylon House, a&nbsp;CELSIUS Cosmic Desert Event, and Revolve Festival 2024.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In debuting her new, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/megan-fox-embraces-jedi-era-with-blue-bob-bids-farewell-to-pink-hair-222715" rel="" target="_blank">longer hairstyle</a> on Instagram, Fox offered a nod to <a href="https://www.etonline.com/lana-del-rey-says-her-tour-manager-of-15-years-quit-37-days-before-coachella-223621" rel="" target="_blank">festival headliner</a> <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/lana-del-rey" rel="" target="_blank">Lana Del Rey</a> with the caption, "Summertime Sadness."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Fox was not pictured with on-again-off-again love <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/machine-gun-kelly" rel="" target="_blank">Machine Gun Kelly</a>, and even cheekily <a href="https://www.etonline.com/megan-fox-and-machine-gun-kelly-relationship-timeline-from-twin-flames-to-taking-some-space-200204" rel="" target="_blank">referenced their romance</a> in a photo of herself leaning against her own reflection in a full-length mirror.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Twin flames," she captioned the carousel.&nbsp;</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.instagram.com/p/C5uz2Z8Lj6H/">&nbsp;</div>

<p>Earlier this month, a source told ET that <a href="https://www.etonline.com/megan-fox-and-machine-gun-kelly-relationship-timeline-from-twin-flames-to-taking-some-space-200204" rel="" target="_blank">the duo was spending some time apart</a>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Megan and Machine Gun Kelly's relationship is up and down.

Megan Fox Goes Makeup-Free in Fresh Faced Selfie: See Her Natural Look

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/valerie-bertinelli" rel="" target="_blank">Valerie Bertinelli</a>'s <a href="https://www.etonline.com/valerie-bertinelli-confirms-new-relationship-after-tom-vitale-divorce-hes-very-special-221647" rel="" target="_blank">new man</a> has entered the chat. Writer Mike Goodnough -- who also goes by the name <a href="https://substack.com/@therealhoarse?utm_source=byline" rel="" target="_blank">Hoarse Whisperer</a> -- has come forward with a sweet tribute to the 63-year-old actress and their budding relationship.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I am Valerie Bertinelli’s boyfriend… and that may well be among the most surreal sentences I’ve ever pecked out. But it’s true… and nothing about our actual relationship seems surreal. It just seems… good… lucky… a gift," he wrote in a Wednesday post on his&nbsp;<a data-component="link" data-ordinal="1" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="externalLink" href="https://www.hoarsewhisperings.com/" target="_blank">Hoarse Whisperings</a>&nbsp;Substack.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Life is crazy, kids. It just is. It’ll rain hellfire down on you for years and bring you to your knees… and then it’ll open the skies to deep blue and love and calling someone 'Honey' because you just love the absolute hell out of her and feel so very thankful for the gift of that feeling, the gift of her," he added. "So, the little rumor going around, consider it happily confirmed."</p>

<p>The writer sweetly added, "I just adore her. I’m so glad we’re together."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-caption="Mike Goodnough and Valerie Bertinelli" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="ca7ddaad-317e-467a-b602-d7cab35f4015" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>The post began as a tongue-in-cheek response to rumors about his involvement with the star, joking that "the bit of gossip itself borders on lunacy." Then, he confirmed the news and shared a photo of himself sitting with Bertinelli's two cats.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The revelation comes after Goodnough&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/valerie-bertinelli-says-she-just-cant-blame-ex-tom-vitale-for-toxic-horrible-marriage-223465" rel="" target="_blank">joined Bertinelli for a taping</a> of Monday's episode of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/the-drew-barrymore-show" rel="" target="_blank"><em>The Drew Barrymore Show</em></a>&nbsp;as she promotes her new cookbook, <em>Indulge</em>.</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-caption="Valerie Bertinelli appears on &amp;#039;The Drew Barrymore Show&amp;#039;" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="d34ddcff-8210-41db-a4fc-ff53da372069" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>"I was not going to date. I was going to die alone with my six cats and my dog and be very happy alone," she joked on the show. "He was not supposed to come into my life and here he is, he's 10 years younger."&nbsp;</p>

<p>She continued, "He's amazing. He would like to think he's complicated and brooding, but he's thoughtful and kind and ridiculously talented. He's an amazing writer. He's gorgeous, like, so hot. He does it for me."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Bertinelli also shared new details about how they first came to meet.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I actually started following him on Twitter back in 2016 or 17," she said. "He has a really amazing Twitter following. He's very funny, very acerbic and political at that time."&nbsp;</p>

<p>The star noted that she "got little butterflies," but that he didn't follow her back for about two years.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"And then he started DMing me once in a while, and then started following my Instagram account," she recalled. "Then he would just DM once in a while, just like sweet, little, nice comments. Nothing pushy... like really friendly. He didn't want to get involved with anybody either."&nbsp;</p>

<p>After their chats escalated from DMs, to texts, to phone calls and FaceTiming, they eventually made a plan to connect in person.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I met him in New York a month ago and I'm just gone," Bertinelli gushed.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After the show, the former Food Network host shared a paparazzi image of the pair walking together outside the studio.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Hiding in plain sight," she <a href="https://www.threads.net/@wolfiesmom/post/C51onURS197" rel="" target="_blank">wrote on Threads</a>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"No idea who the security guy is but you look great," her beau commented.&nbsp;</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-caption="Andraia Allsop, Wolfgang Van Halen and Valerie Bertinelli attend the 96th Annual Academy Awards on March 10, 2024 in Hollywood, California." data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="7299e4cb-d997-4d4e-b26f-65279270a528" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>Bertinelli has been married twice. She wed rock star&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/eddie-van-halen" rel="" target="_blank">Eddie Van Halen</a>&nbsp;in 1981 -- and they share son Wolfgang, 33. Though the pair divorced in 2007, they remained amicable and Bertinelli was by Van Halen's side&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/eddie-van-halen-guitarist-and-van-halen-founder-dead-at-65-154278" rel="" target="_blank">when he died</a>&nbsp;due to complications from throat cancer on Oct. 6, 2020.</p>

<p>She was also married to&nbsp;financial planner Tom Vitale from 2011 to 2022.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Last month, Bertinelli's son made an appearance onstage at the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/awards/oscars">96th Academy Awards</a>&nbsp;to play guitar&nbsp;alongside Guns N' Roses shredder Slash for <em>Barbie</em> star Ryan Gosling's epic "I'm Just Ken" performance.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I mean, people are going to get sick of it, but I don't care 'cause I'm so proud of him," Bertinelli&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/why-valerie-bertinelli-will-never-stop-gushing-about-son-wolfgang-van-halen-exclusive-221318" rel="" target="_blank">told ET with a laugh</a>&nbsp;in reference to constantly bragging about her son. "He's been through a lot of adversity throughout all of this, and I'm really proud of the way he's handled it."</p>

<p>Parenthood may be something she and Goodnough have bonded over, as the writer describes himself as a "father" in the first line of his Substack bio. He adds, "Dad level: expert."&nbsp;</p>

Valerie Bertinelli's Boyfriend Mike Goodnough Addresses Their Relationship: 'Life Is Crazy'

<p>The legal divorce battle between <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/jeezy" rel="" target="_blank">Jeezy</a> and <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/jeannie-mai" rel="" target="_blank">Jeannie Mai</a> is getting more complicated, as the rapper filed new court documents to clarify his request regarding custody of the couple's 2-year-old daughter, Monaco.</p>

<p>In court docs filed April 16 in Fulton County, Georgia, obtained by ET on Thursday, Jeezy -- real name Jay Wayne Jenkins -- is seeking to&nbsp;"share joint legal custody and joint physical custody of the minor child and that the specific parenting time schedule be determined by the Court consistent with the best interest of the minor child."&nbsp;</p>

<p>He claims that he and Jeannie had arranged an informal custody agreement last year, but that broke down in the beginning of 2024. The motion also alleges that Jeezy "really has not had any significant parenting with the minor child all year" and that Jeannie has prevented FaceTime calls by blocking his number.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In earlier docs previously obtained by ET last week,&nbsp;Jeezy sought primary custody of Monaco. claiming that it would give her more "stability." He alleged that Jeannie's busy schedule and "excessive" travel has "gravely impacted" his daughter's well-being.</p>

<p>"[Jeezy] and the parties' minor child enjoyed a strong parental bond before [he] moved out of the marital residence, and it is important for the minor child to maintain her bond with both parents," the documents state.</p>

<p>The rapper --&nbsp; who&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/jeezy-files-for-divorce-from-jeannie-mai-after-two-years-of-marriage-211450" rel="" target="_blank">filed for divorce</a>&nbsp;from the former&nbsp;<em>The Real</em>&nbsp;co-host last September after two years of marriage -- further alleged in his filing that Jeannie "uses her brother and her mother as caretakers for the parties' minor child whenever [she] is unable to personally care for the parties' minor child." Jeezy claimed that his ex has neglected his agreed-upon parenting time, even allegedly going so far as to vacate her California home "with no notice" so Jeezy couldn't pick his daughter up on April 2, 2024.</p>

<p>"To date, [Jeezy] does not know where [Jeannie] is living with the parties' minor child," the documents alleged.</p>

<p>Furthermore, when he was finally able to "exercise parenting time" from April 8 to April 9, Jeezy claimed that Monaco "was lethargic, appeared to be exhausted, and seemed to be underweight."</p>

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/jeannie-mai-jenkins-has-safety-concerns-amid-jeezy-custody-case-216801" rel="" target="_blank">In court documents filed in December</a>, Jeannie voiced her own safety concerns for Monaco's care, regarding Jeezy's possession of firearms, which she claimed have been "unsecured in the past."</p>

<p>Jeezy also addressed these claims in his filing, insisting that he has "always made sure that his firearms are secured and safely away from the parties' minor child," and accusing Jeannie of "staging" a photo of Monaco next to a bag which he kept one of his firearms in while leaving the house.</p>

<p>Jeezy also pointed out that he has a Second Amendment right to own a firearm, and further, is licensed to own one, despite that not being required in the state of Georgia. "[Jeezy] further shows the Court that there has not been a single incident with his firearms and the parties' minor child," the docs state.</p>

<p>ET has reached out to reps for Jeezy and Jeannie for additional comment.&nbsp;</p>

Jeezy Clarifies Request for Custody of Daughter Monaco Amid Jeannie Mai Divorce

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/jason-kelce" rel="" target="_blank">Jason Kelce</a>&nbsp;had a bone to pick with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/travis-kelce" rel="" target="_blank">Travis Kelce</a>&nbsp;on Wednesday's episode of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiA5nvzWB6E" rel="" target="_blank"><em>New Heights</em></a>. The NFL star siblings addressed the backlash Travis received <a href="https://www.etonline.com/travis-kelce-and-jason-kelce-pick-up-their-diplomas-in-surprise-commencement-at-university-of" rel="" target="_blank">for chugging a beer during a surprise commencement ceremony</a> in their honor -- and Jason had a hot take on the whole situation.&nbsp;</p>

<p>First, Travis and Jason shared their stories from last week's epic <em>New Heights</em> <a href="https://www.etonline.com/travis-and-jason-kelce-get-support-from-mom-donna-and-kylie-at-live-podcast-show-in-cincinnati" rel="" target="_blank">live show</a>&nbsp;at&nbsp;the University of Cincinnati's Fifth Third Arena, with the Kansas City Chiefs star offering a clarification on why he gulped down a beer while accepting his official diploma in a full cap and gown&nbsp;as the Beastie Boys' 1986 hit, "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party),"&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/barstoolsports/status/1756894059673612488" rel="" target="_blank">fittingly played in the background</a>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"We ended the night in truly epic fashion," Travis said, explaining that both he and Jason had already completed their respective degrees years ago. "So all of you thinking this was a graduation ceremony because we just finished our degrees and it was a very serious thing -- we appreciate Cincinnati's president and athletic director for doing this, but it was kinda just a fun way to close out the night."</p>

<p>He went on, "Hopefully you guys can understand that me chugging the beer was because I had a beer in my hand and I had to receive the diploma, so I had to get the beer out of my hand in some way. Might as well finish it! It just happened to be full."&nbsp;</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://twitter.com/Dan_Hoard/status/1778615481865326612">&nbsp;</div>

<p>At that point, Jason chimed in to roast his younger brother.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Well, it kinda stayed full when you threw it on the ground and there was still beer pouring out of it," he declared.</p>

<p>Travis attempted to defend himself, saying that it was just foam.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"There's not that much foam in the can, Travis," Jason dug in.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Yeah there is when you can't get the air flow and it's just, like, dumping out," Travis doubled down.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The sibling squabble continued, with Jason declaring, "If there's anything people should be upset with, it's the fact that you didn't finish the chug. That's why I was upset."&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the end, though, Jason of course had his brother's back.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Sorry for everybody that got upset about this," he said. "I mean, it just wasn't that kind of event. It wasn't that serious. There were two women <a href="https://www.etonline.com/jason-kelce-says-he-legitimately-lost-his-super-bowl-ring-during-new-heights-event-now-in-a" rel="" target="_blank">wrestling in a vat of chili</a> before this. That's the athletic director posing with me. I've never been to a commencement ceremony because I skipped mine, but I'm pretty sure the athletic director isn't the person that hands you your diploma."&nbsp;</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://twitter.com/NFL/status/1778772734744613045">&nbsp;</div>

<p>Jason previously came to his brother's defense when he&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/JasonKelce/status/1779235194223902970" rel="" target="_blank">replied to one user on X</a> who questioned Travis' "antics," explaining that the moment was more lighthearted than it may have appeared in photos.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I know it looks like a graduation from the video, but this was actually at the end of a <em>New Heights</em> Live podcast that we put on to raise money for the University's NIL," he explained. "The university did this to poke fun at my brother and I for never really picking up our diplomas."</p>

<p>According to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cincinnati.com/story/sports/college/university-of-cincinnati/2024/04/11/travis-kelce-chugs-beer-before-receiving-university-cincinnati-diploma-at-new-heights-live-podcast/73298133007/" rel="" target="_blank"><em>The Cincinnati Inquirer</em></a>, Jason previously received his degree in marketing but did not attend his class commencement ceremony in 2010. As for Travis, who attended the university from 2008-2012, the outlet states that he completed his remaining credit hours in 2022 to earn his degree in interdisciplinary studies.</p>

<p>As for the fundraising aspect of the show, "NIL" refers to the the <a href="https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/ncaa/NIL/NIL_InterimPolicy.pdf" rel="" target="_blank">NCAA </a>(National Collegiate Athletic Association)'s interim "Name, Image, Likeness" policy that allows student athletes to earn money from their personal brand.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The whole event was a family affair, with&nbsp;Jason and Travis posing for a photo op with their proud parents, Ed Kelce and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/donna-kelce" rel="" target="_blank">Donna Kelce</a>. Jason's wife,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/kylie-kelce" rel="" target="_blank">Kylie Kelce</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/kylie-kelce-gets-shy-during-jumbotron-moment-while-supporting-husband-jason-at-new-heights-live" rel="" target="_blank">was also in the audience</a>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Travis' girlfriend,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/taylor-swift" rel="" target="_blank">Taylor Swift</a>, did not appear to be in attendance, but her presence was certainly felt. At one point, Travis was seen enthusiastically moving his hips and dancing along to a marching band rendition of Taylor's&nbsp;"Shake It Off." Travis, of course, immediately chimed in saying, "Oh, I know this one!"&nbsp;</p>

<p>The source added, "They are grateful to have each other along for the ride and advocate and support each other across the board.

Travis Kelce Explains Why He Chugged a Beer While Accepting His Diploma as Brother Jason Roasts His Skills 

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/jason-kelce" rel="" target="_blank">Jason Kelce</a>'s time in the gym is paying off -- even though he took some heat from his wife in the process. The Philadelphia Eagles alum addressed his recent <a href="https://www.etonline.com/jason-kelce-makes-surprise-wrestlemania-appearance-dubbed-taylor-swifts-brother-in-law-223014" rel="" target="_blank">surprise appearance at Wrestlemania</a> on Wednesday's episode of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiA5nvzWB6E" rel="" target="_blank"><em>New Heights</em></a>, admitting that wife <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/kylie-kelce" rel="" target="_blank">Kylie Kelce</a> couldn't resist teasing him while he prepped.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Speaking with his brother and podcast co-host, Kansas City Chiefs tight end <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/travis-kelce" rel="" target="_blank">Travis Kelce</a>, Jason couldn't help but marvel at his physique in the ring.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I'm not gonna lie, my biceps are looking good," Jason happily gushed over an image of himself at the event. "Look at that picture."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Travis agreed and asked what kind of weights Jason has been lifting these days.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"We were using a lot of bands," Jason shared. "And Kylie kept making fun of me because I was really obsessed with how my biceps looked."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I'm proud of you," Travis replied. "They look great, man. They look like my thighs."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Jason explained that since he was planning to "go in there with a cutoff" he needed to "get those things poppin'."&nbsp;</p>

<p>The moment of body positivity comes amid a transformative time for the former NFL center, who has said that he hopes to lose weight since announcing <a href="https://www.etonline.com/jason-kelce-breaks-down-in-tears-while-announcing-retirement-from-nfl-218123" rel="" target="_blank">his retirement from the Eagles</a> last month.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I'm in the process right now, I'm retired. I played my whole career 295. I'm trying to get down to 250, 260," Jason <a href="https://www.etonline.com/jason-kelce-shares-his-weight-loss-goals-after-retiring-222760" rel="" target="_blank">said on a previous episode of the podcast</a>. "My goal is two pounds every week, lose it. I want to lose it, but maintain my muscle mass. I'm trying to monitor my protein, my carbs, my fats, make sure that I'm hitting at least one pound per body weight."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Jason was back on his<a href="https://www.etonline.com/jason-kelce-is-returning-kansas-city-chiefs-luchador-mask-he-wore-during-super-bowl-after-party" rel="" target="_blank">&nbsp;luchador business</a>&nbsp;on April 6 when he <a href="https://www.etonline.com/jason-kelce-makes-surprise-wrestlemania-appearance-dubbed-taylor-swifts-brother-in-law-223014" rel="" target="_blank">made a surprise appearance</a> with teammate Lane Johnson at WWE Wrestlemania 40. It was a star-studded affair in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/snoop-dogg" rel="" target="_blank">Snoop Dogg</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/john-cena" rel="" target="_blank">John Cena</a>, and even&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/dwayne-johnson" rel="" target="_blank">Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson</a>&nbsp;all showing up.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After the event, Jason <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C5cRc9spk8S/" rel="" target="_blank">took to Instagram</a> to share a collection of pics and videos including one with Johnson. "WHAT A NIGHT," the caption reads.</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.instagram.com/p/C5cQoRugU97/">&nbsp;</div>

<p>On Wednesday, Travis asked Jason about his time with The Rock.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I've met him before, actually," Jason revealed. "He came to the Eagles facilities training before one of the WWE events earlier in my career. He probably doesn't remember that, but I remember it because I think everybody remembers when you meet The Rock for the first time."</p>

<p>He continued, "But it was awesome to see him again, obviously under different pretenses this time. I'm just happy he's back involved in WWE in a more meaningful way. He's been such an explosive personality for the wrestling world and obviously he's gone on to, I don't want to say bigger and better things, but I mean, to become the superstar that he is outside of the wrestling world -- I think selfishly everybody in the wrestling world is happy to see The Rock back."&nbsp;</p>

<p>For his part, Travis was deep in his nostalgic feels after seeing his brother in the ring.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"God damn, that just took me back to all those f**king sleepovers when we were 10 years old," he marveled. "I can say that it was fun as hell watching you up there, knowing that we used to f**k around as WWF/WWE f**king jabronis as kids. It was cool to see you up there having some fun."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-caption="Jason and Travis Kelce" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="5bea1266-fd4a-414e-bc17-0d575ac90ae9" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>At one point during the show, Jason ripped his shirt off in what is <a href="https://www.etonline.com/kylie-kelce-reacts-to-husband-jasons-shirtless-viral-moment-i-had-to-try-and-reel-him-back-in" rel="" target="_blank">becoming something of a habit</a> for the 36-year-old. On <em>New Heights</em>, he explained why he's trying to <em>not </em>make it his thing in the long run.</p>

<p>"I was trying to keep my shirt on because I'm really developing this, I feel like I'm stealing Bert Kreischer's bit," he said, referencing the comedian and <em>2 Bears, 1 Cave</em> co-host. "I don't want to steal your bit, Bert, but I feel like this was an acceptable time to have that shirt off."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Travis joked, "You're just a big bear. That s**t's hilarious."</p>

<p>Elsewhere on Wednesday's <em>New Heights</em>, Jason revealed how he <a href="https://www.etonline.com/jason-kelce-says-he-legitimately-lost-his-super-bowl-ring-during-new-heights-event-now-in-a" rel="" target="_blank">"legitimately lost" his Super Bowl ring</a> and Travis addressed his <a href="https://www.etonline.com/travis-kelce-explains-why-he-and-taylor-swift-enjoyed-coachella-in-the-madness-of-the-pit-with-fans" rel="" target="_blank">headline-making appearance at Coachella</a> with girlfriend&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/taylor-swift" rel="" target="_blank">Taylor Swift</a> over the weekend.</p>

<p>The episode comes after <a href="https://www.etonline.com/interview-travis-kelce-teases-repeat-performance-of-friends-in-low-places-at-kelce-jam-music-festival-222708" rel="" target="_blank">Travis spoke exclusively with ET</a> about the upcoming return of his iconic Kelce Jam music festival next month.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"This is gonna be a whole bunch of fun. You know I'm down to bring down the electricity," he said of the event, which&nbsp;will include performances from Lil Wayne, Diplo and 2 Chainz.</p>

<p>"It's gonna be an absolute blast this year," he said. "... We're keeping it fun, we're keeping it lighthearted. We got some new things in terms of entertainment, might have a drone show or something like that. It's gonna be extremely exciting."</p>

<p>As for whether Jason will be "out of the house" for the festivities, Travis said, "I'm tugging on his arm to try and get him out to KC for it... I know a familiar face will always get somebody excited, so hopefully we can get my brother and everyone there."</p>

Jason Kelce Reveals Why Wife Kylie Teased Him About His Wrestlemania Appearance

<p>After years of close calls, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/jason-kelce" rel="" target="_blank">Jason Kelce</a>'s Super Bowl ring is officially a goner.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The legendary Philadelphia Eagles center suspects that his priceless item "is now in a landfill" after he loaned it out for use during the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/travis-and-jason-kelce-get-support-from-mom-donna-and-kylie-at-live-podcast-show-in-cincinnati" rel="" target="_blank"><em>New Heights</em>&nbsp;live e</a>vent&nbsp;at the University of Cincinnati on Thursday. Jason's habit of misplacing his ring over the years has been so well documented, producers created a competition titled "Jason Lost His Ring" during the first annual "Lombaby Games."</p>

<p>During the event, teams competed to locate Jason's Super Bowl ring among decoys hidden inside two inflatable pools filled with chili. On <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiA5nvzWB6E" rel="" target="_blank">Wednesday's episode of <em>New Heights</em></a>, Jason said, "The video does not do justice just how disgusting this was."&nbsp;</p>

<p>After watching a clip, Jason told his brother and co-host -- three-time Super Bowl champ <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/travis-kelce" rel="" target="_blank">Travis Kelce</a> -- that his real ring was never found.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>"There was an unfortunateness," he began. "As you guys know, this game existed because I continually lose my Super Bowl ring. And I don't even know if Travis still knows this, but I legitimately lost my Super Bowl ring in this event. They could not find it."</p>

<p>Jason said that producers went back to scour the pools again the following day to no avail. They even tried using a metal detector to locate the missing item, but the strategy failed due to "traces of iron" within the chili itself.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"We have still yet to find it," Jason said. "All of the stuff has been thrown away, so I think we can safely assume that my Super Bowl ring is now in a landfill some place in the Cincinnati/Tri-State area. I didn't think that would happen."&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Kansas City Chiefs tight end was clearly gobsmacked by Jason's willingness to offer up his actual Super Bowl ring for the occasion.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"What did you expect to happen?" he asked.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I thought we would just go in the pool and get the ring afterwards," Jason replied.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"You are such a f**kin imbecile," Travis cracked. "Goddamnit, Jason."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Jason won the Lombardi Trophy in 2018 when the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII. In the years since, he has cemented his status as the greatest center in the history of the NFL. The 36-year-old is a six-time All Pro honoree, seven-time Pro Bowl selection, and future Hall of Famer.</p>

<p>Last month, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/jason-kelce-breaks-down-in-tears-while-announcing-retirement-from-nfl-218123" rel="" target="_blank">he announced his retirement</a> after playing 13 seasons -- his entire professional career -- with the Eagles.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Yes, the Super Bowl ring is officially gone," he confirmed on Wednesday. "We have already put the insurance claim in, which, I think the insurance company might have some things to say about whether they're gonna cover that."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Showing their brotherly bond, the siblings went on to squabble about the legitimacy of the entire situation.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"One-hundred percent they're gonna have -- especially if you're gonna tell the entire world how you lost it," Travis said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Well, I didn't lose it, first of all, I knew exactly where it was," Jason fired back. "It's the same as if I left my house and somebody came in my house and took it. It's the exact same scenario."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Jason," Travis replied, "you didn't put that Super Bowl ring in a sock and put it in the pool. You didn't do that."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Jason reasoned, "It doesn't matter where I put it! I can put it wherever I want as long as I know where it's at, and I knew where it was at. Somebody at some point messed with my Super Bowl ring, which I'm fine with. I mean, it's just a hunk of metal. I'll just have another one made. I think. They can do that, right?"&nbsp;</p>

<p>Travis, playfully annoyed, conceded. "I don't know, Jason. Probably."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I guess we're gonna find out," Jason added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Kelce brothers were joined by their parents,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/donna-kelce" rel="" target="_blank">Donna Kelce</a>&nbsp;and Ed Kelce, as well as J<a href="https://www.etonline.com/kylie-kelce-gets-shy-during-jumbotron-moment-while-supporting-husband-jason-at-new-heights-live" rel="" target="_blank">ason's wife of six years</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/kylie-kelce" rel="" target="_blank">Kylie Kelce</a>, at their big hometown event last week.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Travis and Jason -- two former University of Cincinnati Bearcats legends -- took over the school's&nbsp;Fifth Third Arena to host the inaugural&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wlwt.com/article/new-heights-live-lombaby-games-rosters-athletic-academic-teams/60465630" rel="" target="_blank">Lombaby Games</a>, record their live podcast with a handful of special guests, and were treated to an <a href="https://www.etonline.com/jason-kelce-defends-brother-travis-following-backlash-after-chugging-beer-while-getting-diploma" rel="" target="_blank">unofficial commencement ceremony</a> in their honor. The duo each completed their respective degrees years ago, but never picked up their diplomas until now.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Travis' girlfriend,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/taylor-swift" rel="" target="_blank">Taylor Swift</a>, did not appear to be in attendance, but her presence was certainly felt. At one point, Travis was seen enthusiastically moving his hips and dancing along to a marching band rendition of Swift's "Shake It Off." Travis, of course, immediately chimed in saying, "Oh, I know this one!"&nbsp;</p>

<p>The couple was seen enjoying&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/taylor-swift-and-travis-kelce-enjoy-date-night-at-sushi-hot-spot-in-los-angeles-223413" rel="" target="_blank">a low-key date</a>&nbsp;at a sushi hot spot in Los Angeles on Friday before traveling to the desert f<a href="https://www.etonline.com/travis-kelce-explains-why-he-and-taylor-swift-enjoyed-coachella-in-the-madness-of-the-pit-with-fans" rel="" target="_blank">or Coachella on Saturday</a>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Saturday was such a fun, fun day," Travis gushed on <em>New Heights</em>. "I love going to Coachella, man.</p>

<p>"Taylor and Travis were so excited to go to Coachella together,"&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/taylor-swift-and-travis-kelce-attending-coachella-is-one-of-many-adventures-to-come-source-says" rel="" target="_blank">a source told ET on Monday</a>. "They wanted to be there to support their friends and just have fun. They had the best time at the festival and were in their own world even though so many people were around them. They are very in love and in sync in so many aspects of their lives, and it’s very sweet to see."</p>

<p>Another source added, "Travis has always loved going to Coachella, and having Taylor by his side made it all the better. The happy couple enjoyed the weekend’s festivities, supporting Taylor’s famous friends during their live sets. The two are continuing to explore their relationship by supporting each other’s endeavors and doing what every other couple does, and that’s go on dates. This is one of many adventures yet to come for the duo."</p>
