NEED TO KNOW

  • Bruce Springsteen and his wife Patti Scialfa celebrated their 34th wedding anniversary on June 8
  • To mark the occasion, Scialfa shared a romantic throwback photo with her husband on Instagram
  • The musical couple, who tied the knot in 1991, share three children together

Bruce Springsteen and his wife Patti Scialfa are celebrating their 34th wedding anniversary.

Springsteen, 75, and Scialfa, 71, got married on June 8, 1991, at their Los Angeles home. In honor of their 34th wedding anniversary on Sunday, Scialfa posted a PDA-filled throwback photo from their first anniversary alongside a message reflecting on their marriage.

“Our one year anniversary…. Bruce surprised me with a beautiful party…..” Scialfa wrote in her Instagram post’s caption. “Today marks 34 years … even though we already had Evan and Jess was on the way…. spent the evening with Bruce Sam and our granddaughter Lily…”

In the photo, the musical couple share a romantic kiss. Scialfa’s hand rests on Springsteen’s neck as the “Dancing In the Dark” singer’s arms wrap around his wife’s waist.

❤❤🥂,” commented Springsteen’s younger sister, Pamela.

The Boss and Scialfa met in the 1980s at The Stone Pony in Asbury Park, New Jersey, where both regularly performed. The pair developed a friendship, which ultimately led to Scialfa joining the music legend and the E Street Band on their 1984 Born in the U.S.A Tour as a backup vocalist. Scialfa has reduced the amount she performs with the group since being diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a blood cancer.

While the two musicians had chemistry on stage, their relationship did not turn romantic until 1988 after Springsteen split from his first wife, Julianne Phillips. The former couple wed in 1985. Phillips filed for divorce in 1988 and their divorce was finalized the following year. 

Springsteen and Scialfa quickly fell in love and got married in 1991. They later welcomed three children together: 34-year-old son Evan, 33-year-old daughter Jessica and 31-year-old son Sam.

The longtime couple became grandparents for the first time in 2022, when Sam welcomed his first child, daughter Lily.

A few years ago, Springsteen gushed over his wife to Gayle King during an October 2019 appearance on CBS Mornings.

“We’ve been together for 30 years. That’s a long [time]– you’ve shared a lot,” he said. “You know, Patti’s been at the center of my life for the entire second half of my life … and an enormous amount of guidance and inspiration and you know, I can’t overstate it. You know, it’s I’ve been lucky.”

NEED TO KNOW

  • Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter reunited at the 2025 Tony Awards on Sunday, June 8, where they spoke with PEOPLE about their upcoming Broadway reunion
  • The actors and longtime friends are set to star in an upcoming revival of Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, which Winter calls a “very personal” play
  • Reeves and Winter first starred together in 1989’s Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, and have remained friends across 35 years and two sequels

Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter just had an excellent reunion.

The actors and longtime friends, who will soon star in an upcoming revival of Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, spoke to PEOPLE on the red carpet Sunday, June 8, at the 2025 Tony Awards in New York City, where they were in attendance to present one of the awards.

Reeves, 60, and Winter, 59, matched in classic black tuxedo looks. The Matrix star put a twist on his ensemble by adding a white handkerchief in the suit pocket. He also cuffed his blazer sleeves to show the white of his shirt sleeves.

Winter tells PEOPLE that he and Reeves “wanted to work together” again after their famous Bill & Ted movies, and have “known each other a very long time” — fitting for “a play about two people who have known each other a very long time. … And Keanu had this crazy, inspired idea that suddenly turned into reality, for both of us.”

As for what fans can expect, Winter adds, “I think every time the play is done, it’s different, because of who’s playing it. It’s very, very personal, and so we’re bringing ourselves to it.”

Waiting for Godot will begin preview performances at Broadway’s Hudson Theatre on Sept. 13, ahead of an official opening on Sept. 28. The limited-engagement production is currently scheduled through Jan. 4, 2026.

For Reeves’ Broadway debut, the John Wick actor will play Estragon. Winter, who appeared in Broadway’s 1977 production of The King and I and 1979’s Peter Pan, plays Vladimir in the acclaimed existential work.

PEOPLE debuted a video conversation with director Jamie Lloyd on April 14 about the upcoming production, in which the longtime pals — who first worked together on 1989’s Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure — explained how they’ll naturally bring their offstage bond to their roles.

“It’s like being in a band together. We kind of know each other’s rhythms,” Winter shared in the video. “Being able to bring that into, onto a stage, that’s sort of our fundamental. That’s in our bones away.”

“The films that we did together, the Bill & Ted films, the language in those films had the architecture and their rhythms,” added Reeves. “Even from early days, we approached them theatrically or even commedia dell’arte: ‘Okay, I do something, you do something, I get the ball, you get the ball.’ “

“That’s why, in the audition, we were so vibed,” Winter recalled of himself and Reeves. “Because you didn’t get that from other actors so much.”

Reeves and Winter became close while filming Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, a sci-fi comedy that follows time-traveling friends who visit historical figures for their history presentation.

In 1991 and 2020, they reprised their roles as Ted Logan and Bill Preston for a second and third installment of the cult-classic series.

NEED TO KNOW

  • Billie Eilish and Nat Wolff were spotted kissing and drinking from champagne flutes on a balcony in Venice, Italy
  • Romance rumors between Eilish and Wolff intensified in March when they were seen leaving the iHeart Music Video Awards together and later spending a night out in New York City
  • Wolff starred in Eilish’s ‘Chihiro’ music video in June 2024

Billie Eilish and Nat Wolff are drumming up more rumors of a romance after they were recently spotted sharing an intimate moment in Italy.

In photos shared by Deuxmoi, Eilish, 23, and Wolff, 30, could be seen kissing and drinking from champagne flutes on a balcony in Venice.

Representatives for Eilish and Wolff did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment on Sunday, June 8.

Romance rumors between Eilish and Wolff intensified in March when they were seen leaving the iHeart Music Video Awards together and later spending a night out in New York City together, according to PageSix.

Wolff, an actor and musician, starred in Eilish’s self-directed “Chihiro” music video, which came out in June 2024, and she described their dynamic in the video at the time as an “inescapable connection.”

The pair previously said they consider themselves just good friends.

Wolff and his brother Alex Wolff have shared in the past that they became close friends with the two-time Oscar winner when they opened for her Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour in 2024.

Speaking to Variety in October, Nat said that the trio bonded over what it’s like to have Tourette syndrome, a disorder that involves repetitive movements or unwanted sounds that can’t be easily controlled.

“Even when I saw Billie on interviews, I said, ‘Oh, she’s one of us,’ ” the Paper Towns actor said at the time.

“We know all the ways that we try to mute ourselves or try and chill ourselves out or soften ourselves for other people, and how nice it is to not have to do that for certain people,” Wolff said to the outlet about how they try to downplay their Tourette symptoms.

Eilish also joked about their bonding experience in another video for Vogue at the timesaying, “My first real impression of you, when I met you, was at the Oscars after party, and I was sitting on the couch outside, and you just appeared.”

“It was just like an immediate — I don’t even know what we talked about, but it was an immediate — I was like, ‘Yo!’ “ Eilish recalled to the outlet.

Despite the rumors about her love life, Eilish also told Vogue last year that she has been wanting to keep her romantic life private after sharing what she considered to be too many intimate details over the years.

“I wish no one knew anything about my sexuality or anything about my dating life. Ever, ever, ever,” she said. “And I hope that they never will again. And I’m never talking about my sexuality ever again. And I’m never talking about who I’m dating ever again.”

NEED TO KNOW

  • Nicole Scherzinger got engaged to Thom Evans in 2023
  • The couple met in 2019 on The X Factor: Celebrity
  • Evans is a former rugby player who pivoted to a career in entertainment

Nicole Scherzinger and her fiancé Thom Evans have had a sweet romance from the start.

The former Scottish rugby player and the Sunset Boulevard star met in 2019 on the set of The X Factor: Celebrity. They began dating later that year, but they didn’t go public with their romance until they attended a Golden Globe Awards afterparty red carpet together in January 2020. Three years later, in 2023, he proposed on a beach.

Throughout their relationship, Evans has supported Scherzinger at different points in her career, including when she took the stage for the hit Broadway musical, Sunset Boulevard, for which she received her first Tony nomination.

“Just Wow!!.. I saw @sunsetblvdmusical last night and I was completely blown away, he wrote on Instagram in 2023. “@nicolescherzinger your performance was truly MESMERISING and the rest of the cast are so TALENTED! I’ve never seen anything like it before and if you haven’t yet booked tickets then you absolutely need to!”

So who is Nicole Scherzinger’s fiancé? Here’s everything to know about the former Pussycat Dolls singer’s fiancé Thom Evans.

He’s a former rugby player

Evans was a competitive rugby player for most of his life. He began his professional career while playing at Wellington College in Berkshire, England. He went on to join the Glasgow Warriors as a winger from 2006 to 2010. Evans was also asked to play for Scotland’s national team 10 times, per his Champions speakers bio.

Evans’ rugby career came to a sudden end in February 2010 when he suffered a severe neck injury during the Six Nations game against Wales. After undergoing two neck and spine procedures, he learned that his injury was one millimeter from paralysis or death, according to The Scotsman.

“I sustained a double fracture-dislocation to the C5 and C7 regions of my spine in 2010,” he told Men’s Health U.K. in 2024. “I was playing for Scotland against Wales in the Six Nations and I was really fortunate because an injury of that magnitude, suffered on such a big stage, meant I had the very best personnel there to deal with it.”

In July 2010, Evans officially announced his retirement, which he called “a huge blow, mentally.”

“At the time, I was just so grateful not to be in a wheelchair,” he told the publication. “But a year or so after the injury, it really hit me that I was never going to play the game again — a game that I so dearly loved, and a game I’d worked my whole life for. I did struggle for a long time.”

Evans explained that for most of his life, “rugby was my identity,” so he struggled to find his new “purpose.”

“I was only 24 at the time of my injury and I’d just broken into the Scotland national team. I think I would have comfortably had that jersey for at least another 10 years,” he continued. “I just tried my best to remain focused on how incredibly lucky I was to even be walking and moving in a ‘normal’ capacity. That’s what helped me through the dark times.”

Evans now works in entertainment

Before his rugby injury, Evans was a member of the pop group Twen2y4Se7en and toured alongside the British pop group McFly and the British pop star Peter Andre, per ESPN.

After Evans was forced to retire in 2010, he started working as a broadcaster for ITV’s rugby coverage, per The Scotsman.

Evans later competed in the BBC dancing competition show Strictly Come Dancing in 2014. In 2016, he appeared on the survival competition show Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls.

In 2019, he formed singing trio Try Star with fellow U.K. rugby players Levi Davis and Ben Foden, who competed with him on The X Factor: Celebrity.

Evans and Scherzinger met on the set of The X Factor: Celebrity in 2019.

During that season, Scherzinger served as one of three judges alongside Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh. As part of Try Star, Evans competed on that season with a myriad of songs, including “No Diggity” by the Backstreet Boys, “Old Town Road” by Lil Nas X and “The Greatest Show” from The Greatest Showman film. Try Star was eliminated in the semi-final and placed fifth.

In 2021, Evans explained to The Sun that he didn’t initially think Scherzinger would be interested in him.

“It wasn’t even in my thought process to try it on with Nicole because it would have been unprofessional, and she’s so lovely and stunning in every possible way,” he shared. “I was just like, ‘She’s out of my league.’ It was only after we sang an awkward performance of ‘Swing Low, Sweet Chariot’ and she kindly saved us in the show that we, as a band, went up to her dressing room to thank her. That was the first time I met her, and I’ve never looked back.”

They made their red carpet debut in 2020

After meeting on The X Factor: Celebrity, Scherzinger and Evans were seen hanging out a few times in late 2019. However, they didn’t confirm their romance until January 2020.

The couple made their official red carpet debut on Jan. 5, 2020, when they posed for photos at the Golden Globes afterparty at The Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif. Both Scherzinger and Evans later made their relationship Instagram official when they posted the same photo from the event.

Later that month, Scherzinger and Evans attended the Fox Winter TCA All-Star Party in Pasadena, Calif., with Scherzinger telling Extra that she “couldn’t be happier” in her new relationship.

In June 2023, Scherzinger and Evans announced that they were engaged, with Evans proposing on a beach.

“I said yes 💍♥,” Scherzinger captioned her Instagram post.

Evans added, “My Ever After 💍❤.”

In October 2023, Scherzinger shared that they were planning on having a wedding in her native Hawaii with a reception in Europe.

“The reception will be somewhere in Europe. Beyond that, I haven’t even thought about anything,” she said during an interview with radio host Chris Evans, who is her fiancé’s cousin. “We’re in love with Portugal obviously, so I think we would have a reception there maybe. I didn’t know Portugal before Thom introduced me to it. I’m in love with it.”

Scherzinger added that her grandfather is a bishop, and she’s “always wanted him to marry me.”

Evans “hit the jackpot” with Scherzinger

Over the years, Evans has publicly praised Scherzinger. In October 2021, he told The Sun that he “hit the jackpot” with her.

“Nobody is asking Nicole how she got with me because I’m massively punching (above my weight),” he said. “She’s so easy and fun to be around.”

Evans also expressed his gratitude for meeting Scherzinger “naturally,” rather than him “sliding into her DMs.”

“People always say, ‘When you know, you know’ and I can honestly say I’d never really had that moment,” he said. “But within the first couple of days with Nicole, it was just awesome and it has been awesome ever since.”

Evans has said that the proposal was “one of the best days of my life.”

“Getting married to her and starting a family is something I can’t wait for,” he told Men’s Health in 2024.

He’s supported her during Sunset Boulevard

In 2023, Scherzinger played Norma Desmond in the revival of Sunset Boulevard on the West End, later making her Broadway debut with the musical in October 2024.

Throughout the show’s run, Evans attended several of her performances, including the Broadway premiere. He later shared snaps of them from an afterparty, writing, “I’m so proud of you @nicolescherzinger ❤.”

He was also by her side when she won an Olivier Award in 2024, sharing how “proud” he was on Instagram.

“Words cannot express how proud I am of you my love,” he captioned a series of photos from the event. “The level of professionalism that you bring to everything that you do combined with your God given talent is truly awe inspiring to see … A true testament for all your relentless hard work and devotion to this role and NO ONE is more deserving of such a prestigious accolade.”

NEED TO KNOW

  • Audra McDonald and Will Swenson met on Broadway
  • They got married in 2012
  • McDonald and Swenson share a daughter

Audra McDonald and her husband Will Swenson are a Broadway power couple.

The actors first met in 2007 while working on the Broadway revival of 110 in the Shade, per The New York Times. Swenson proposed on New Year’s Day in 2012, and the pair got married later that same year. McDonald and Swenson welcomed their daughter Sally James in October 2016.

The Broadway stars are incredibly supportive of each other’s careers, but they both get nervous when the other is in the audience.

“The scariest audience for me is always the audience where you’re sitting, because I feel loved and supported, but I still want you to like me,” McDonald — who is currently up for her record seventh Tony Award — told Swenson during a 2022 Entertainment Weekly joint interview.

Swenson agreed, adding, “I’ll perform in front of thousands of strangers and not get insecure, but I want you to like me so much that I get nervous every time you come.”

So who is Audra McDonald’s husband? Here’s everything to know about Will Swenson and his relationship with the actress.

He was raised in Utah

Swenson and his family moved to Provo, Utah, when he was 12. He grew up performing at the Hale Theater, which his family owned and operated, per Deseret News, and was raised in a Mormon home.

Swenson has since left The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS).

“I no longer go to church. I’m not a practicing Mormon,” he said during an appearance on the Why I’ll Never Make It podcast in 2021. “I’m still very much culturally Mormon. I miss elements of it.”

He continued, “I think, on one hand, [my family] is proud of their son of Utah that has done well, and on the other hand, they are sad and disappointed and think I have something wrong with my soul.”

He’s an actor

After graduating with a degree in theatre from Brigham Young University, Swenson took a job performing at Disney World as Beauty and the Beast‘s Gaston, he told Backstage in 2024.

Swenson eventually landed on Broadway in 2004’s Brooklyn. In 2009, Swenson gained significant acclaim for his portrayal of Berger in the 2009 revival of Hair, earning him a Tony Award nomination.

His Broadway repertoire includes other notable roles such as Javert in Les Misérables (2014), Earl in Waitress (2016) and Neil Diamond in A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical (2022).

In addition to his stage work, Swenson has starred in several Mormon films, including The Singles Ward (2002) and Sons of Provo (2004).

  • Chris Martin, 48, showed his support for ex Dakota Johnson, 35, during a Coldplay concert in Las Vegas on Friday, June 6
  • The “Clocks” singer encouraged the audience to go see Johnson’s new movie, Materialists, during the show’s closing
  • On June 4, PEOPLE confirmed that the couple had split after eight years together

Chris Martin showed his support for ex Dakota Johnson during a recent concert.

A concertgoer named Jasmin shared footage of the moment on TikTok from a Coldplay concert in Las Vegas on Friday, June 6. In the video — which has since garnered more than a million views — Martin, 48, can be seen at the end of the show, fullheartedly thanking the giant crowd.

“Thank you, everybody! Be kind to each other!” Martin said into the mic.

He then added, “Don’t forget to go see Materialists!”

The “Clocks” singer was referring to the new romantic comedy starring Johnson. In Materialists, which premieres on June 13, Johnson, 35, plays a New York City matchmaker who becomes torn between a new potential love (Pedro Pascal) and a messy ex (Chris Evans). 

PEOPLE reached out to representatives for both Martin and Johnson for comment on Sunday, June 8, but did not receive an immediate response.

On June 4, multiple sources confirmed to PEOPLE that Martin and Johnson had ended their nearly eight-year relationship.

“It feels final this time,” a source said of the split. 

The pair, who were first romantically linked in 2017, were photographed together last month when they stepped out in Malibu, California, on May 16. Before that, in January, the pair held hands in India, where Martin was touring with his band.

In March 2024, an insider told PEOPLE that Johnson and Martin had actually been engaged for “years” after first sparking engagement rumors in 2020, though they were “in no rush to get married” at the time.

When breakup rumors bubbled up in August 2024, a rep for the actress shut down the claims and said the pair were “happily together.” Around the same time, a source said, “Sure, they’ve had issues and taken breaks in the past, but things are great now. They both love their careers. They are balancing things the best they can.”

It seems that Martin isn’t the only person staying on good terms with Johnson after their split. 

A source previously told PEOPLE that Martin’s ex-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, plans to stay close to Johnson, revealing that they “developed a close friendship” over the years. The Goop founder, 52, “fully intends on maintaining that bond,” despite Johnson’s split from the Coldplay singer, a source said.

“There’s a genuine mutual respect between Gwyneth and Dakota, and they have a lot in common,” the source added. “They both grew up in the spotlight, have been in the business for years, and really relate to each other’s experiences.”
