Jessica Biel turned 41 on Friday (March 3), and Justin Timberlake is celebrating the occasion with an adorable Instagram tribute in his wife’s honor.
Sharing a carousel of photos of sweet photos of the actress, Timberlake wrote: “Let me tell y’all about this human… she is the most badass, most graceful, most gorgeous DREAM of a partner I could have ever wished for.”

“And today is her bday!” the “SexyBack” singer continued. “I’m so glad you were born, my love. And, I’m so lucky that you are choosing to do this thing called life with me.”
“Aging like a FINE🍷!!!!” he added. “I love you to the moon and back. —Huz.”
In one photo, Biel looks effortlessly gorgeous as she snips a cluster of grapes growing at a vineyard. In others, she and Timberlake are all smiles while hiking and hitting the golf course together.
Many of the couple’s famous friends chimed in via the comments section, with Lily Collins writing, “”Ahhh happy birthday @jessicabiel !! 🥰🙌🏻🎉💕.” Tom Brady simply wrote, “Awww,” leaving a heart emoji.
Just a few weeks prior, it was Biel’s turn to wish the “Rock Your Body” hitmaker a happy birthday when he turned 42 on Jan. 31. “Happy birthday to the person who challenges and inspires me every day,” she wrote on Instagram at the time, sharing a pair of cute boat day photos with her husband, whom she married in 2012.
“The person who keeps me laughing and creating and risking it all,” she’d added. “The person who makes the ordinary extraordinary. You know who you are. I love you.”

Cardi B is lovin’ it. The star gushed over the sweet face ink she got on behalf of her son, Wave, in a new social media post.
“I love my face tatt,” the rapper tweeted Thursday (March 2) with a simple red-heart emoji alongside a photo showing off Wave’s name written in red ink on the left side of her jawline.
The photo appears to be a close-up from Cardi’s ongoing campaign with husband Offset for the couple’s personalized Valentine’s-ready McDonald’s meal, which features a Quarter Pounder with cheese, a cheeseburger, side of BBQ sauce, a large fry and apple pie to share, and two large drinks.
The promo shoot was the first time some fans noticed Cardi’s ink — which she originally revealed back in a November Instagram Story — with one writing, “I never noticed that tat lol” and another questioning, “She got a face tatt??” Meanwhile, one follower on Twitter noticed that McDonald’s seemed to appreciate the “Up” rapper’s tattoo as well, sharing a screenshot of the fast-food giant having liked her latest tweet.
Along with the McDonald’s meal, Cardi and Offset also released a full merch collection filled with T-shirts, hoodies, booty shorts and beanies emblazoned with plenty of puns (“nice buns”), signature catchphrases (Cardi’s famous “ok uu rr rr rr”) and more.
In February, Cardi surprised an ecstatic crowd as a special guest at GloRilla’s New York City concert, where the pair teamed up to perform their hit collab “Tomorrow 2,” just weeks after the former and her husband dazzled with a pre-Super Bowl set in Arizona attended by Serena Williams, Tiffany Haddish and more.
Get a closer look at Cardi’s new Wave-inspired face tattoo below, which was also visible in the Feb. 14 Instagram post she made to promote her McDonald’s meal.
Billie Eilish has broken up with her social media accounts. In a new episode of the Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend: Musician Series, the “Happier Than Ever” singer detailed what it was like growing up with the internet in her formative years, and why now, she chooses to keep her distance.

“I don’t look at it anymore. I’ve deleted it all off my phone which is such a huge deal for me,” she told O’Brien. “You didn’t have the internet to grow up with … I feel like I grew up in the perfect time of the internet that wasn’t so internet-y that I didn’t have a childhood. I really had such a childhood and I was doing stuff all the time. It was computer and games on computers, but barely.”
Eilish said once she entered adolescence, she started to notice her internet habits change to that of a normal teen who wasn’t famous, which quickly became a complicated issue. “Being a teenager on the internet, those were my people. I was one of those people on the internet,” the 21-year-old recalled. “Within myself I feel like nothing changed, but … to change nothing about the person that I am and the life that I live, and to just keep doing what I do over the years, slowly the videos that I’m watching and the things that I’m seeing on the internet are about me. I’m like … ew! Stinky! I don’t like that.”
And despite knowing that things said about her on the internet are often untrue, the seven-time Grammy winner struggles with seeing the reality of a situation. “Anything I read on the internet, I believe. Me! And I know for a fact that’s stupid and that I shouldn’t do that because I have proof that it’s not all true. Almost none of it’s true,” she concluded. “It’s small white lies that goes over everyone’s heads, but everyone believes. How much was a lie what I was reading when I was looking at the internet?”
Eilish does generally stay off social media, though on Thursday (March 2), she shared a carousel post of herself engaging in relaxing activities such as horseback riding, sunbathing, taking a drive, completing a puzzle and other relaxing endeavors.
Listen to Eilish talk with O’Brien in the video above.
Ray J and Princess Love Norwood have called off their divorce for the third time. According to Los Angeles Superior Court documents filed Wednesday (March 1) and obtained by Billboard, the “Sexy Can I” singer has moved to dismiss his petition to split from Princess Love, whom he married in 2016.

The filing requests for the divorce petition to be dismissed without prejudice.
This marks the third time the couple, who both starred on Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood and share 4-year-old daughter Melody and 2-year-old son Epik, have walked back their divorce plans. Their latest reconciliation comes more than a year after Ray J filed in October 2021 to divorce the 38-year-old Prella Cosmetics founder, citing irreconcilable differences.
Billboard has reached out to Ray J for comment.
“HAD TO GET MY WIFE BACK AND START FRESH,” he wrote on Instagram in January. “I LOVE MY FAMILY!! Ill FIGHT OVER AND OVER FOR LIFE FOR MY FAMILY AND KIDS!!”
In February, he shared videos from his romantic Valentine’s Day celebrations with Norwood.
The couple’s divorce trilogy dates back to May 2020, when she first filed for divorce months after welcoming her second child with the 42-year-old R&B star. A couple months later, she asked for a dismissal of the filing.
Then in September that same year, Ray J filed to end the marriage, asking for joint custody of their two children at the time. The couple’s second split was called off in March 2021, with Ray J saying a month prior in an interview that he and Norwood “care for each other.”
“We’re just respecting each other as human beings, as parents,” he said at the time. “We’re in a great place and who knows what the future holds.” Just a few months later, though, Ray J filed the now-resolved third divorce request in October 2021.

Avril Lavigne has landed at Paris Fashion Week, and continued to proved she’s the ultimate cool girl with her look.
The “Complicated” singer took to Instagram on Tuesday (Feb. 28) to share a photo of her Vetements outfit, which featured an oversized black blazer with quotes in bold white lettering. She paired the look with platform patent boots, futuristic sunglasses and a straight, blonde bob. “PFW,” she captioned the photo, along with black and white heart emojis.
The post comes just hours after Lavigne’s ex-fiancé Mod Sun addressed their breakup on Instagram. “In 1 week my entire life completely changed…I just know there’s a plan for it all. I’ll keep my head up + always listen to my heart, even when it feels broken,” the punk-pop rocker wrote alongside a carousel of photos and videos posted to his Instagram feed. His caption did not specifically mention Lavigne, but Billboard can confirm it is about their split. “Being surrounded by love every night on tour has been an absolute blessing. I have the best friends in the entire world, thanks for always having my back. See you on stage.”

Reports first started brewing a week ago that Mod and the “Bois Lie” singer had parted ways and called off their engagement. His representative told Billboard, “They were together and engaged as of three days ago when Mod left for tour so if anything has changed that’s news to him.” Lavigne’s team did not respond to requests for comment at the time.
It takes a village to raise children, as the saying goes. And in Nick Cannon‘s case, that village includes not one, not two, but six baby mamas (so far).
In recent years, the Masked Singer host has become famous for being, well, fertile. He was already a dad to three kids when he welcomed his fourth in December of 2020, an occasion that marked the start of a baby-making marathon during which he fathered eight more children in the span of two years. Need a math check? That’s a total of 12 kiddos, starting with the twins he shares with superstar ex-wife Mariah Carey and ending, for the moment — ’cause who knows if another pregnancy announcement is coming? — with a baby girl he and model Alyssa Scott welcomed in December 2022.
Billboard has been covering the Nick Cannon baby beat since day one, from his many birth announcements to his vasectomy deliberations to the jokes famous friends such as Kevin Hart and Ryan Reynolds have made at his expense.
But it’s about time his children’s mothers got some recognition of their own, because — let’s be honest — when it comes to actually carrying the baby and giving birth, they do all of the work. But on top of that, these women are impressive in their own rights and should be highlighted for their accomplishments as singers, actresses, models and moguls on top of being loving mothers.
So, in the spirit of giving some due respect on the title “baby mama,” keep reading to find out more about the six women Nick Cannon has had children with.
Mariah Carey

Kids with Nick: Twins Moroccan and Monroe (born April 30, 2011)
What she does: Oh, you know. This and that. In addition to having five Grammys, 19 No. 1 songs and 28 in the Billboard Hot 100‘s top 10, Mariah Carey is one of the best-selling musicians of all time.
“He was a good guy. He was faith-based. He was ambitious,” Carey wrote in her 2020 memoir of her six-year marriage to Cannon, which ended in divorce in 2014. “He had been in the entertainment industry for a long time, so he understood the madness. He paid attention to me.”
“Honestly, I think Nick and I could have worked it out between the two of us, but egos and emotions got inflamed (which can translate into many billable lawyer hours, and ultimately it did),” she added. “It was tough. We both wanted to make sure everything was cool for our family. We will always be family, and we make it work.”
Brittany Bell

Kids with Nick: Golden Sagon (born Feb. 21, 2017), Powerful Queen (born Dec. 23, 2020) and Rise Messiah (born in September 2022)
What she does: Bell has a lot of credits up her sleeve in addition to being a mom of three. She’s known for winning Miss Guam and competing in the Miss Universe pageant in 2014, and hosts a podcast called The Mama Gang on top of pursuing a doctorate in psychology.
“One of the most hard working men in the world,” Bell wrote of Cannon on Instagram on Father’s Day in 2017. “Anything he does, he does well and beyond– but I must say it is a blessing to see him do his best job of them all… being a wonderful daddy. You are THE best dad. Golden glows when daddy makes him smile.”
Abby De La Rosa

Kids with Nick: Twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir (born June 14, 2021), and Beautiful Zeppelin (born Nov. 11, 2022)
What she does: De La Rosa has worked as a DJ and a radio personality, known for interviewing artists on Los Angeles’ Real 92.3.
“I’m excited for my kids to grow up and be like, ‘Mom and Dad, y’all did it your way and I love that,’” De La Rosa said of her polyamorous relationship with Cannon during a 2022 podcast appearance. “I hope my kids can eventually do it their way, whatever that may be in whatever capacity that is. To do it their way, not the way that the world wants them to do … to do it their way the way mom and dad did.”
Alyssa Scott
Kids with Nick: Zen (born June 23, 2021, died in December 2021) and Halo Marie (born Dec. 14, 2022)
What she does: Scott is an Instagram influencer and has been modeling since she was a teenager, previously appearing on Cannon’s long-running sketch comedy show Wild ‘N Out.
“I will remember the sound of Nicks voice saying ‘it’s a girl’ and the look of everything we’ve been through flash across his face,” Scott recalled of the delivery of the pair’s daughter, Halo, who arrived almost exactly a year after their first child together, Zen, died at five months from a brain tumor.

What she does: Tiesi is also a model who appeared on his show Wild ‘N Out. She now works as a luxury real estate agent in Los Angeles on Netflix’s reality TV show Selling Sunset, has her own YouTube channel and was featured on the reality show WAGS.
“I think some people have their idea of conventional relationships and certain things, but we have a beautiful relationship,” Tiesi said of Cannon a March 2022 interview. “We actually have a very long history; we’re going on almost a decade.”
“We’re all very supportive,” she added of the mutual respect between all of Cannon’s other baby mamas. “We just respect that that’s your family, this is ours, and you need anything, we’re here … I feel like, as adults, our kids are gonna be together and things like that, so I don’t think there’ll ever be an issue. I don’t know of any issues. Definitely won’t be one with me.”
LaNisha Cole

Kids with Nick: Onyx Ice (born Sept. 14, 2022)
What she does: LaNisha is a model and actress whose credits include The Price Is Right and Deal or No Deal. She’s also a film producer and photographer.
“Coparenting is a breeze when you see eye to eye,” Cole wrote on her Instagram story in December 2022. “It’s all about this little one, our Onyx. Nick was playing ‘Isn’t She Lovely’ by Stevie Wonder in the delivery room to welcome Onyx into the world. My heart smiles every time I hear this song. It will forever be special. It’s her song. Teamwork makes the dream work.”

Nick Jonas had his family on hand during the Jonas Brothers‘ latest string of dates in Las Vegas over the weekend.
In a sweet video posted by Priyanka Chopra, the youngest JoBros member can be seen holding his baby daughter Malti as he gives the 1-year-old tot a backstage tour of the Dolby Live at the MGM Grand as the band’s new single “Wings” plays over the clip.
From there, the actress cobbled together a montage of Nick and his brothers performing at their residency, Jonas Brothers Live in Vegas, along with shots of fans ecstatically waving their arms in the state-of-the-art venue, Nick swiveling his hips on stage in brown leather pants, and photos of herself posing with her pop-star hubby in a hotel suite. (There’s also a split-second snapshot of Chopra sharing a cookie decorated with Nick’s face with Jonas Brothers superfan Haley Lu Richardson, who recently starred in the “Wings” music video after a surprise phone call from Joe Jonas himself.)
While baby Malti made her first public appearance — and showed her cherubic face! — at the Jonas Brothers’ dedication ceremony on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last month, her famous dad has since starred in a Super Bowl commercial for Dexcom’s G7 continuous glucose monitoring system.
The Jonas Brothers’ upcoming album, The Album, will drop May 12 via Republic Records. Ahead of its release, Nick and his older brothers are headed to Broadway next month for an intimate five-night run of shows leading up to their first-ever live performance of the studio set.
Get a look at Nick and Malti backstage in Vegas below.

“Hey Son!!!! 1. Only 48hrs of being parents!” the “Bossy” singer captioned a series of phots and videos in a carousel, some of which featured her newborn. “2. Darius always made me playlists when we first started dating, ‘Someone’ by El Debarge was a favorite. We became each other’s someone and made a someone, look at God! 😆 3. The baby love Rolling Ray, cause purrr. 4. ‘I’m not hiding the world from my son, I’m hiding my son from the world.’ Hahaha 5. I’m just playing, my baby face is on this slide. 6. And this slide 🤣🥹😅😍❤️🙏🏾😇😭”
Palmer continued, “Born during Black History Month, with a name to match ! LEODIS ANDRELLTON JACKSON, welcome to the world baby Leo.”
The 29-year-old revealed her pregnancy during the Dec. 4 episode of Saturday Night Live. “People have been in my comments, saying, ‘Keke’s having a baby,’ ‘Keke’s pregnant,’ and I want to set the record straight: I am!” she declared during the monologue, showing off the baby bump that she had previously hidden.
Palmer then went on to state that she hated the rumors that were being spread about her pregnancy, mostly because the rumors were indeed true. “I was trying so hard to keep it on the down-low ’cause I got a lot of stuff going on,” she added at the time. “You know, people kept coming up to me, ‘Congratulations,’ and I’m like, ‘Shh, can y’all stop? I got a liquor sponsorship on the line.’”
The singer-actress shares Leodis with boyfriend Darius Jackson. The couple went Instagram official in August 2021.
