Singer-songwriter HARDY ain’t her boyfriend anymore! The newly minted ACM songwriter of the year — known for penning “Boyfriend,” “One Beer,” and “Sand in My Boots” — wed Caleigh Ryan on Saturday, Oct. 29, in a ceremony in front of approximately 350 people at Diamond Creek Farms in Nashville.
People shared exclusive photos and details from the event, noting that Ryan kept certain wedding traditions, with her wedding dress serving as “something new,” HARDY’s baby bonnet as “something old,” her grandmother’s lucky penny as “something borrowed” and her aunt’s ring as “something blue.”
Of the couple’s vows, HARDY told People, “We’re going to write our own vows and do them privately. We want the ceremony to be like 30 seconds long. We just want to have a big party for everybody. I’m trying to avoid having a complete meltdown in front of everyone, and I don’t think I could get through vows at the altar, and she’s the same. The vows will be for us. It doesn’t have to be for everybody else.”
Several of HARDY’s fellow country artists took part in the festivities, including Lauren Alaina, Dierks Bentley, Travis Denning, Lindsay Ell, Ernest and Morgan Wallen.
RaeLynn proudly showed off her time taking part in one of the wedding’s activities, “Hardy’s Tattoo Shop,” where guests could get inked. Additionally, Ryan shared photos on her Instagram account of the “beer burros” at their reception, which carried baskets filled with beer around to guests in attendance.
Ryan also posted a series of photos of herself with a donkey on Instagram. “Kate is one of our adorable beer burros who will be joining us for our cocktail hour and serving beer to all of our guests 😭 HOW CUTE IS THIS?! Like WHAT?!” she captioned the carousel. “This was literally the first non-negotiable wedding planning decision I made when we started. I knew I wanted to incorporate animals somehow, so when I saw this I think I had a little mini heart attack.”
Alaina also shared a sweet moment from the reception: Ryan’s bouquet toss, as Alaina chased down the bouquet and happily ran, holding the bouquet over her head and shouting “Yes!” for the camera.
HARDY and Ryan began dating in 2018, and became engaged in August 2021, with HARDY proposing at The Lyric Theater in Oxford, Miss.
The wedding came just weeks after HARDY and members of his crew weathered a harrowing tour bus crash on their return trip to Nashville after performing at Country Thunder Bristol in Tennessee.

Jennifer Lopez shared a “self-care” selfie with her 225 million Instagram followers on Sunday (Oct. 30). The newlywed, who tied the knot with Ben Affleck in August, posed in a $69 lace bodysuit from the brand Intimissimi.

Lopez completed the look with a matching, white silk robe and “Mrs” necklace. She added a white heart emoji with the hashtags #ThisIsMe, #SelfCare, #HappyWeekend and #TakingAMoment.
Intimissimi reposted the photo with the caption, “@Jlo’s perfect weekend: self-care and our lingerie. We can’t think of a better combo!”
The Eternal Love Body bodysuit features an underwire balconette bra and cups in refined eyelash, floral lace with soft stretch tulle. Lopez also wore the Intimissimi Silk Kimono ($159) — available in ivory, red and black in sizes S/M and M/L.
Lopez was announced as a global ambassador for the Italian brand — which specializes in lingerie, bras, brieds, boxers, pajamas and more for men and women — in September. Intimissimi was founded 1996 and was sold at Victoria’s Secret from 2007 until 2010. The brand launched its New York location in 2017.
“The market is opening up a new phase after the domination of Victoria’s Secret,” Sandro Veronesi founder and CEO of Intimissmi’s parent company, Calzedonia Group, told Women’s Wear Daily in September. “Now there are new brands, and we hope to take a part of that market. We have a fashionable proposal for Intimissimi in the States. It will take some time to be known.”
“We want to grow a lot and we also want to understand better the taste and the preferences of the American public because the two markets are different and the competitors are different,” he added. “So we have to learn a lot, and to invest in opening shops, communication and world expansion.”
The Lopez effect seems to be working. Lopez’s Instagram post racked up nearly 2.4 million likes, and the Intimissimi bodysuit that she wore is almost out of stock. In case it sells out, we added a couple of other alternatives from the brand.

“Anderson ‘The Spider’ Silva is the most versatile fighter the world has ever seen,” Paul said in a press release. “Just a year ago he outclassed boxing champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and showed the world why he is often referred to as the greatest fighter of all time. Every expert, from MMA to boxing, has said Jake Paul won’t fight Anderson Silva. They said Jake Paul is afraid of Anderson Silva, and Jake Paul would lose to Anderson Silva. Well, to all the non-believers – Jake Paul is fighting Anderson Silva. It’s an honor to have the opportunity to share the ring with the greatest UFC striker of all time. On Saturday, October 29, I will walk humbly into the ring, touch gloves with a living legend and do my best to exterminate ‘The Spider.’”
“I know that in life everything has its purpose. Nothing comes just by chance. So, I thank God for my health, my family and my team for providing me with this opportunity to continue doing the thing that I love the most,” said Silva. “I believe this will be the biggest combat event of the year and will truly make history in the sport forever.”
The night’s fight card includes Ashton Sylve vs. Braulio Rodriguez in a lightweight bout, Alexandro Santiago vs. Antonio Nieves, Uriah Hall vs. Le’Veon Bell and Chris Avila vs. Dr. Mike Varshavski.

Meta Quest Pro, the “most enhanced” VR headset yet from Facebook’s parent company, went on sale earlier this week — but it’ll cost you a pretty penny. The VR headset, which “enables full-color mixed reality” that blends “virtual experience with your physical world,” retails for $1,499.99.
Meta Quest Pro is the first in the brand’s line of high-end VR headsets. The multifunctional VR and MR device provides high-resolution, mixed reality and blends two worlds by allowing you to dip into the virtual realm without leaving your physical environment.

“Merry Christmas to All,” presented by Live Nation, will take place in December with performances in New York and Toronto. Tickets went on sale at 10 p.m. ET on Friday (Oct. 28).
General admission tickets are currently priced at approximately $85-$110 to $300, and over $3,000 for VIP admission. Carey added two additional shows to Madison Square Garden, which are among the higher-priced tickets.
The music icon posted a Halloween-themed Christmas video on Instagram on Friday with the caption, “See you in December! All 4 shows of #MerryChristmasToAll are on sale now!”
The concert event was initially scheduled for only two nights, but Carey added two additional performances beginning Dec. 9 at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. Carey will perform another show in Toronto on Dec. 11, before heading home to New York City for concerts at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 13 and Dec. 16.
In addition, buying passes, Carey’s “lambs” will be able to purchase an exclusive t-shirt and a copy of her illustrated holiday fairytale, The Christmas Princess, which drops next Tuesday (Nov. 1).
Carey opened up about writing the story in an interview last year. “I started writing that on a little DX7 or Casio keyboard that was in this little room in the house that I lived in at the time in Upstate New York lifetimes ago,” she told Parade.com. “Just writing down everything that I thought about. All the things that reminded me of Christmas that made me feel festive that I wanted other people to feel.”
With the holiday coming soon, Carey’s 1994 holiday hit, “All I Want for Christmas” is expected to make its seasonal return to the charts. After landing in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 in 2017, “All I Want for Christmas” has gone on to top the Hot 100 for the last three years in a row.

The star walked the purple carpet in an olive green, sequined Rick Owens gown with leather gloves. Her makeup glam was courtesy of Fenty Beauty, and her skin was prepped with Fenty Skin products.
“We wanted the skin to really mimic the beautiful shimmer of her dress,” says Fenty Beauty Global Makeup Artist Priscilla Ono. “We created a diamond-like shimmer on Rihanna’s face and body using her favorite Fenty Beauty Diamond Bomb Highlighter which then allowed her semi-matte neutral pink lips with Fenty Icon Refillable Lipstick in Pose Queen to really pop. We chose a coordinating olive green color for her eyes with Flypencil Eyeliner in Bank Tank and took that shade into her waterline so that it was a fresh and graphic eye look.”
Rihanna will debut “Lift Me Up” from the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack on Friday (Oct. 28). The song is her first solo track since 2016.
“We knew she was at a point in her life as well where she was focusing on different things — focused on business, motherhood, which is a big theme in our film. We were holding out hope that maybe it could work out and boy did it for this song,” director Ryan Coogler told The Hollywood Reporter during the premiere. “I can’t wait for people to hear it.”
Rihanna is officially back to work after welcoming a son with A$AP Rocky in May. Her Savage x Fenty Vol. 4 show premieres on Amazon Prime Video on Nov. 9, while her SuperBowl Halftime Show goes down in February.
