Selena Gomez Has the Sweetest Take on Taylor Swift’s New Relationship With Joe Alwyn

Selena Gomez has proved again and again that’s she’s a fantastically solid friend, not only coming to Taylor Swift’s defense when celeb-fueled feuds get nasty, but also feeling the love for her bestie’s new romance with boyfriend, Joe Alwyn.

While sitting down with SiriusXM’s The Morning Mash Up Monday, host Nicole Ryan boldly (yet in a roundabout way, natch) inquired about the “Bad Liar” singer’s own boyfriend, The Weeknd, AND Swift’s new fella, saying, “Both of you have some new things going on in your lives. You have some new people in your lives. Have you gotten a chance to hang out together with your new people?”

As rumors around Tay and Alwyn are buzzing harder than ever after the two were spotted enjoying some time together in Nashville this past weekend, Gomez could have had plenty of tea to spill, but instead ignored it and responded with a cheeky, “I hang out with my new person a lot.” But she knew that she wouldn’t be able to leave it there and added a few thoughts on Swift’s new relationship by saying, “Honestly, if my friends are happy, that makes me happy. That’s all I care about. So, I’m super stoked too. It’s been a good time.” So sweet!

Gotta love friends who just wanna see you happy!

Women like Kristin Cavallariare giving a middle finger to outdated rules like who's allowed to have an age gap relationship or not, and it's refreshing to see. As much as we remember her for her time on The Hills, she's branched out as an author, entrepreneur, and host of the podcast Let's Be Honest with Kristin Cavallari. Speaking of her podcast, Kristin Cavallari doesn't hold back in her latest episode, diving into all the tea surrounding her new boyfriend.

At first listen, her giddy tone is evident and immediately draws you in for the 45 minutes she gushes about the key details that led her to a new relationship. Keep scrolling for a breakdown of the most important things she covered!

How did Kristin Cavallari meet her new boyfriend?

We're truly living in a digital age because TikTok is the reason Kristin Cavallari was introduced to her new boyfriend Mark Estes. She told her best friend Justin Anderson that she was scrolling down her timeline when she came across what she called a "boy group" called The Montana Boyz and they both agreed one of them specifically is her type. She said, "He's gorgeous. Like, everything about him is perfect. But, he's also outdoorsy and manly."

Three weeks later, she got a DM from The Montana Boyz that said "I love you" and she immediately let them know she wanted to have them on her podcast. Although the podcast didn't happen, Kristin Cavallari appeared in one of their TikTok videos. Once Kristin Cavallari learned from her assistant that they were planning to move to Nashville, she arranged for a line dancing meet-up with The Montana Boyz and her staff. After they met, Kristin decided to call the guy who would become her boyfriend "Montana." (Cavallari uses Montana as a stand in for her boyfriend's real name during the podcast recording as she never names anyone explicitly on her show.)

Kristin Cavallari hard launched her new relationship with boyfriend Mark Estes on Instagram in February, and the rest is history!

How does she feel about their age gap?

Kristin Cavallari didn't know how young The Montana Boyz were, but she wasn't interested in pursuing a relationship with "Montana" at first. She did admit she had a brief issue with their age gap, but decided that "Montana" being 24 while she's 37 doesn't really bother her. Justin pointed out that she actually used to say she wouldn't date guys who were only 30 because she thought they were too young. However, she's more interested in who "Montana" is as a person and notes that life experiences and how you were raised is more indicative of one's maturity level than age alone.

Kristin Cavallari said her boys were so excited to meet "Montana" for the first time and she feels like they really want her to be happy. "I've been really good about separating my dating life from their [life]," she said. Her oldest son especially approves of "Montana" and it's shocking to Kristin because he's usually the toughest judge of whoever she's dating.

How has her career prepared her for public opinions about her relationship?

Kristin Cavallari is at a point where doesn't really care what anyone thinks about her new boyfriend. She's lived life in the public eye and is comfortable enough with herself to make decisions that make her happy. Kristin said, "...when this news came out, it's the first time in my entire life I 100% haven't given a sh-t what anyone thinks... My own mother is noticing a difference in me."

Did she mention anything about her divorce from Jay Cutler?

Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler were married for seven years before announcing their divorce in 2020. She didn't go into detail about it during the podcast episode, but she did talk about the magnitude of her relationship with her new boyfriend. "It's the first time I've gone public since my divorce," she said.

Everyone will always have opinions about a relationship they're not in, but all that matters is Kristin and Mark's happiness.

Where did Kristin Cavallari and her new boyfriend go during their date night?

Uncommon James

Kristin Cavallari and her new boyfriend Mark Estes were spotted enjoying a fun date night over the weekend. Page Six notes they were seen exiting SUGARFISH — a sushi restaurant — in Beverly Hills. The *hot* couple was sporting ear-to-ear smiles and were holding hands as they strolled down the sidewalk. Mark Estes wore a more casual look while Kristin Cavallari rocked a slightly oversized cardigan, white tank top, and sleek leather pants.

TMZ also shared a clip of the happy couple that confirms who we think Mark Estes reminds us of too — the late actor Heath Ledger. It's the chiseled jawline for us.

Don't let his good looks and magnetic energy on TikTok fool you because Mark Estes was a bundle of nerves during his first date with Kristin Cavallari. He made the cute admission to Page Sixand even shared why Krisin Cavallari made him so nervous. He said, "Obviously she’s gorgeous. She’s an amazing person as well, and a great mother. So, yeah, pretty much [the] full package."

How is Mark Estes adjusting to being in the public eye with Kristin Cavallari?

Montana Boyz's Mark Estes Says He's a "TRUE ROMANTIC" With Girlfriend Kristin Cavallari | E! News

Mark Estes may be in the spotlight because he's dating Kristin Cavallari, but that doesn't mean he's super enthusiastic about it. E! News caught up with him at the CMT Awards and he said, "It comes with the territory, I guess...It is what it is." One thing his friend Kade Wilcox — another one of The Montana Boyz — mentioned is that Mark is quite the romanticist when it comes to Kristin Cavallari. He told the outlet, "He's pretty good at date nights."

How does Kristin Cavallari feel about dating a younger man?

Uncommon James

Kristin Cavallari and Mark Estes may be in bliss, but the former knows having an age gap in a relationship isn't always applauded by others. " I understand what it looks like from the outside world of, like, yeah, I’m dating a 24-year-old, but no one in my life has been like, ‘This is weird.’ Everyone’s like, ’I get it. It makes sense,'" she said (via Bustle).

She also said, "...Emotionally, he’s able to step up to the plate, and he’s shown up for me more than anyone else I’ve ever dated," (via Bustle). And according to her, Mark's all in when it comes to her kids and they love him for it. "He loves my kids. He actually took my kids to school, and it's just—he fits in very well. And I'm really thankful for that," (via E! News).

It's not easy balancing being an attentive mom who has a full-fledged career and relationship, but Kristin sounds grateful for the way Mark steps up to the plate. She said he makes things feel "so easy" which is something all moms crave!

Since talking about everything from her time on Laguna Beach to her relationship, Kristin Cavallari and Mark Estes have appeared together in an ad campaign for her brand's new fragrance, Hard Feelings. It's described as an "alluring" scent that's meant to invigorate one's senses. With notes like pink pepper, hibiscus, and sandalwood, we don't doubt it's sensuality!

What's the latest steamy think Kristin has said about her relationship?

Uncommon James

During the "Truth or Drink with Mark Estes" episode on Let's Be Honest with Kristin Cavallari, Kristin and Mark delved into steamy secrets about their relationship. The latter even dropped a bombshell when he admitted he enjoys being intimate with Kristin. He said, "Yeah, you’re the best sex I've ever had for sure," which shocked her.

Though she likes his confession, she said she "didn't know that" before letting him know she feels the same. But, she attributed their hot sex to things like being "more present physically during sex" and being "wildly attracted" to Mark.

But, their relationship isn't all about their amazing romps in bed. Mark is "obviously so in love" with Kristin so that always adds to the spiciness factor!

There are some stories that are too crazy to make up. Such is the case for Ron Howard's Eden, which premieres this week at the Toronto International Film Festival. The new movie follows a group of Europeans who settle on the island of Floreana, in the Galápagos, in the 1930s. Together, the characters feel like a glamorized version of Lord of the Flies — especially when an inevitable power struggle begins.

“You’d be shocked at how accurate the movie actually is,” Howard tells Vanity Fair. “What was chilling about this story is that a handful of people went there and half of them either died or vanished—and that’s intense. That’s like a season of Survivor where people really don’t make it.”

Here's everything you need to know about the new movie — and your first look at the characters!

​What is Eden 2024 about?

Eden Plot

Dr. Friedrich Ritter (Jude Law) and his wife Dora (Vanessa Kirby) enjoy their isolated life in Floreana. They're able to live exactly how they please, creating their perfect home, complete with a garden and animals. But when Margret (Sydney Sweeney), Heinz (Daniel Brühl), & Harry (Jonathan Tittel) and The Baronness (Ana de Armas) arrive on the island, the Ritters' dream is disrupted.

“When you meet [these characters], they’re offbeat, even eccentric, kind of funny—you don’t know what they’re going to do next,” Howard continues. “They’re certainly unpredictable. And yet, as that pressure test intensifies, they actually become dangerous. You really do wonder who’s going to prevail as they strive to try to redefine themselves in this place.”

​When is the Eden movie coming out?

Eden Release Date

Eden is premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival, where it'll find a distributor, so it looks like we could see it in 2025. Stay tuned for an official nationwide release date!

Eden stars Jude Law, Vanessa Kirby, Sydney Sweeney, Daniel Brühl, Jonathan Tittel, Ana de Armas, Felix Kammerer, and Toby Wallace.

The seasons may change, but my everyday outfit combo never does. You'll very rarely, if ever, see me in anything other than a simple dress and cute shoes. Sometimes, depending on the season, I'll add layering pieces like boots, sweaters, or jackets, but the outfit is always centered around the star of the show: a simple, midi dress. This will never change, even thought the weather may get colder. So, in lieu of a new season, I thought I'd do another seasonal roundup of my favorite midi dresses for fall, because they are sure to be your new everyday staple. From dressy, flowy pieces to casual knit dresses; we've got an option for everyone!

J.Crew

Maeve Faux Leather Midi

An incredibly chic way to step into fall is with a classic, '90s-inspired faux-leather dress. If you've been obsessed with re-watching Friends like I am, then this dress will have you looking just like Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston) in Friends on her way to work for Ralph Lauren. Will be purchasing this stunner immediately!

Dôen

Dôen Oliana Dress

Dôen can take my whole wallet, because I have so much love for them as a brand. Their pieces are unique, make a statement, and are such high quality! I've never gotten rid of any dresses from them over the years, they always stand the test of time. This one here is a beautiful chiffon, floral dress that screams fall to me in such a chic way. I will be adding this one to the top of my fall wishlist!

Anthropologie

Thea Sweater Dress

Sweater dresses are a great way to be able to still wear a dress, but make sure you're staying warm while doing it! Bonus points if it has long sleeves — which this one is! I think this dress, in particular, would look so good with a more masculine top layer, like a chore jacket!

J.Crew

J.Crew Leopard Dress

If you've been on the internet at all recently, then you'd know leopard is having a serious moment right now, whether it's shoes, bags, or dresses like this one here! I think leopard is perfect for fall, because it has all neutral colors, yet remains fun if you need a little pizazz in your autumnal wardrobe like I do!

H&M

Sheer Tie Neck Dress

Boho chic has been super trendy at the moment, with so many celebs wearing this style for fall (we see you Daisy Edgar Jones). This look is one of my favorites, because fall is notorious for more structured silhouettes, so it's nice to have a trending style that's flowy and bohemian to throw on. This dress from H&M is such a steal to try the trend, but on a budget!

J.Crew

Denim Midi Dress

Everyone needs a denim midi dress in their fall wardrobe — they're so easy to style! I love the various ways you can wear them. You can throw on a pair of tall boots, or style them with mary-janes and a trench coat for a more comfortable look!

Anthropologie

Pilcro Denim Dress

You can't go wrong with some florals, even for fall! In the autumn, I like to wear more brown-colored or neutral florals, just so it feels appropriate for the season. This one from Anthropologie is so sweet with its cottagecore-esque style! Adding to cart immediately!

Boohoo

Boohoo Chiffon Ruffle Dress

Another boho, ruffle dress, because I simply can't get enough! This style feels so retro and '70s — which is just what I'm trying to go for this fall season. I could see this dress being a perfect wedding guest dress for any nuptials you may have coming up!

Everlane

Everlane Linen Belted Dress

Who says you can't wear linen in the fall?! I definitely didn't. Linen, to me at least, can work seasonally depending on how you style it. I definitely see this dress working year-round. For fall, just simply style it with boots and a coat like a trench, and you've nailed the fall aesthetic!

Nordstrom

WAYF Strapless Dress

Another two-tone dress, because you can style them in so many different ways. This one is extremely affordable from the Nordstrom brand, WAYF. Not only is it wallet-conscious, but it's also super on trend with celebs like Sofia Richie Grainge rocking the two-tone midi dresses lately! You won't want to skip this one, because it's definitely here to stay!

Free People

Free People Pepita Midi

Lastly, we have a classic high-neck, black midi dress! This dress is an everyday staple in my wardrobe, because of its wearability. I can dress it up for a date night with heels or dress it down to just work at a coffee shop. The styling options on this Audrey Hepburn-inspired piece are endless.
