Coi Leray is going to be a mom. The Boston rapper kicked off 2025 in a major way, as she and Trippie Redd are expecting their first child together.
Leray revealed her pregnancy in an announcement to social media on Wednesday (Jan. 1). “I’m a rock star mommy we ready for 2025,” she captioned an Instagram carousel of photos of her baby bump, with two photos also featuring Trippie.
Congratulatory messages poured into her comments section from her fellow female artists such as Anycia, BIA, Lady London, GloRilla, Mariah the Scientist, Ice Spice, Shenseea, Kehlani and DreamDoll, who revealed a pregnancy of her own earlier this week.

Coi and Trippie dated back in 2019 before breaking things off not long after. During that time, Leray accompanied Redd to the Billboard NYC office for his ! album press run.
The couple went their separate ways, but rekindled their romance in August 2024. Trippie relayed to TMZ that he slid into Coi’s DMs and things flourished from there. “We just been talking. That’s my boo,” he said in September.
Some of their relationship drama was poured into music, as Trippie dedicated “Leray” from A Love Letter to You 4 to his then-ex in 2019. Coi mentioned Trippie years later on 2023’s “Isabel Marant.”
“At first, no, I didn’t like it. It was very like, ‘What the f–k,’ because I always thought we really had something outside of the music,” Coi said of her response to “Leray” in an interview with No Jumper. “So I’m just like, ‘Damn. If you got something to say, let’s get together and you say that s–t to my face.’”
Britney Spears can’t stop gushing over her younger son, Jayden James Federline, following their emotional Christmas reunion. On Tuesday (Dec. 31), the 43-year-old pop icon took to Instagram to share a series of photos of her 18-year-old son, reflecting on their similar appearances and appearing to praise his musical talents. “Mine forever !!! It’s weird […]
Taylor Swift‘s weekend out and about in New York City continued Saturday night (Dec. 28).

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce had a post-holiday night out in New York City with Jack Antonoff and Margaret Qualley on Friday night (Dec. 27), based on photos that circulated Saturday.
Photographer @josiahwphotos (on Instagram) posted images of Swift and Kelce’s arrival to NoHo restaurant BondST, and their departure after dinner. Additional photos showed Antonoff, Swift’s close friend and longtime producer, and wife Qualley joining the couple.
Swift’s dinner look (seen in pictures here) was led by an oversized wool blazer with padded shoulders by Stella McCartney, a piece with cage paneling along the hem that’s hand-embroidered with lead-free crystals (Crystal Cage Oversize Blazer, $5,500). The shape of the blazer nods to menswear, while its embellishment, and its styling with tights and heeled boots, gives it a glimmer of femininity.

BondST is a hot spot known for its Japanese-inspired cuisine with two locations in NYC, the one in NoHo (where Swift has been seen dining with friends before) and another in Hudson Yards.
The superstar wrapped her record-breaking, $2 billion-grossing Eras Tour on Dec. 8 in Vancouver. On Dec. 12, she was named the winner of 10 Billboard Music Awards, including Top Artist. With 49 total wins collected throughout her career, she’s now the most celebrated artist in the history of the BBMAs.
“Thank you to the fans, because Billboard is counting your stuff. They’re counting what you listen to, the albums that you’re passionate about,” she shared in a video message that aired during the telecast. “I count these as fan-voted awards because you’re the ones who care about the albums and come see us in concert. Everything that’s happened with the Eras Tour and The Tortured Poets Department, I just have to say thank you. It means the world to me that you guys embraced the things I’ve made, and the fact that you care so much about my music … This is the nicest early birthday present you could have given me. So, thank you very much. I love it. It’s exactly what I wanted.”
Swift, who turned 35 on Dec. 13, made an appearance at the Dec. 21 Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., to support Kelce.
Since wrapping her tour, she’s also been seen visiting patients at Kansas City’s Children’s Mercy Hospital; though she didn’t publicize her visit, patients and their families posted about her generosity online. Swift additionally made a substantial donation to Kansas City children’s non-profit Operation Breakthrough, according to the organization.
Dua Lipa‘s fans believe she may soon be levitating down the aisle, as they are convinced that the pop star is engaged to Callum Turner after about a year of dating.
Speculation that the two stars are planning to get hitched began after the “Houdini” singer shared a festive Instagram post chronicling her Christmas break Tuesday (Dec. 24), with a ring on that finger spotted in some of the snaps in the carousel. Then on Friday (Dec. 27), she shared another carousel of her Christmas. Wedged in between photos and videos of Lipa modeling a Santa hat, showing off her home-cooked turkey and watching old family tapes, a couple of snaps show the musician again wearing what appears to be a sparkly band on her ring finger.
That detail did not go unnoticed by Lipa’s fans, who flooded her comments sections — which have limited commenting on posts dating back to late September — with questions about her relationship status with the Fantastic Beasts star. “ARE YOU ENGAGED!? That ring on the first pic omg,” one fan commented on the Tuesday post.
Trending on Billboard
“are youuu engaged dua!? happy for you💙” another person asked on the Friday carousel, while another fan wrote, “Can we see the ring?”
Billboard has reached out to reps for Lipa and Turner for comment.
The pop star didn’t provide any further hints in the caption of her Friday post — “Christmas was vvvv cute 🎄 the turkey was some of my best work 👩🍳💋,” she simply wrote — nor did she feature the British actor in it. Turner did, however, appear in her photo dump two days prior, with Lipa sharing a sweet, semi-blurry selfie with her boyfriend captioned, “home for the holidays.”
Lipa and the The Capture alum first sparked dating rumors in January, when the former reportedly attended the latter’s Masters of Air premiere in London. In July, the couple went Instagram official, with the three-time Grammy winner sharing adorable snaps from Glastonbury with Turner at her side.
In addition to nurturing her romance with Turner, Lipa also dropped her third studio album this year. Radical Optimism arrived in May and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200.
In her December cover story interview with Billboard U.K., the “Levitating” artist reflected on 2024 being “the best year of my life.” “There came a point in the year where I was thinking, ‘I’ve got to sit down and write some new dreams and new plans and other things I wanted to do,’” she said at the time. “I feel like I ticked so many of my boxes this year. It’s amazing.”
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce celebrated their second Christmas as a couple this year, and part of their to-do list appears to have been sending holiday presents to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s teammates and their families.
Two people who received gifts from the pop superstar and Kelce were Sheawna Weathersby and her boyfriend, Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones. The women’s clothing entrepreneur shared a photo of a cluster of presents sent by Swift and the tight end — which included an orange Louis Vuitton bag — on Instagram Stories Wednesday (Dec. 25) and wrote, “So blessed and grateful this holiday season … Thank yoouuu Tay Tay!”
The haul also featured two boxes with velvet ribbon and mixed-and-matched holiday wrapping, on one of which Swift wrote in her famous loopy handwriting, “Merry Christmas She She! Love, Tay Tay!”

On a tag attached to a large Santa-print gift bag, the “Anti-Hero” singer drew a few stars and wrote, “Merry Christmas She She and Chris! Travis and Taylor.”
Swift and Weathersby have become pals in the year and a half since Swift first started dating the New Heights podcaster over the summer of 2023. In September, the two women shared selfies from their shared suite at Arrowhead Stadium following the Chiefs vs. Cincinnati Bengals game, as well as posed for photos with Chariah Gordon — who is engaged to Kansas City wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr. — which Weathersby shared on Instagram.
On Christmas Day this year, Kelce and his teammates were busy facing off against the Pittsburgh Steelers, winning 29-10. Exactly one year prior, Swift — wearing a custom “#87” Santa hat — celebrated Christmas at Arrowhead, where the Chiefs defeated the Las Vegas Raiders just two months before the Kansas City team won the 2024 Super Bowl.
The 14-time Grammy winner wasn’t present for the Chiefs’ Christmas Day game this year, but she did attend her boyfriend’s match against the Houston Texans four days prior. Swift arrived at Arrowhead Dec. 21 dressed for the season in a furry red coat and black cap, marking the first game she was able to catch since the early December close of her historic Eras Tour.
“The unbelievable Eras Tour has come to an end,” Kelce recently congratulated his superstar girlfriend on New Heights. “Shout out to everybody that was a part of that show. Obviously, it’s her music, her tour and everything, but that was a full production, man. That thing was the best tour in the world because of a lot of people, but mostly because of Taylor.”
The couple that plays together, stays together. During the Christmas holiday break, Bunnie XO attempted to make some gluten-free biscuits, and the venture turned into a cute and funny moment between the entrepreneur and her husband, country singer Jelly Roll. In a video Bunnie XO posted to Instagram on Christmas Day, the couple playfully pokes fun at Bunnie XO’s seeming lack of baking skills.
BunnieXO wrote over the video, “When you can’t bake to save your life but your hubby requests gluten free biscuits & he knos how terrible they’re about to be.”

While singing and rocking along to Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em,” the country star gives the Dumb Blonde podcaster a hug as she shapes dough into biscuits and places them on a baking tray.
“These are gonna be awful. Those look like sugar cookies,” he teases with a chuckle as they both laugh.
“Should I make them bigger? I’m not a baker,” she asks Jelly Roll. He responds with a bit of advice: “I’d give them more than an inch. I’d give them an inch and a half.”
Later, Bunnie XO says, “Out of my comfort zone here,” as Jelly Roll teases from off camera, “They look like little sugar cookies!”
Clearly, the couple is having fun together, enjoying the holiday season and spending quality time together.
Jelly Roll has previously opened up about his dedication to his health goals, and his journey to losing more than 100 pounds. While he’s been headlining his The Beautifully Broken Tour this year, Jelly Roll has been staying on track with his lifestyle changes, not only for his career, but for his health. In October, he shared a post on Instagram which showed the “Son of a Sinner” hitmaker’s personal chef detailing the star’s exercise regimen.
“Jelly’s been crushing it,” nutrition coach Ian Larios said in the video, interspersed with clips of the singer working out and performing. “Walking the arenas, playing basketball, boxing. He just surpassed his 100-pound weight loss.”
More recently, Jelly Roll appeared on Dumb Blonde, and the couple talked in-depth about not only his health journey while on tour, but the musician also declared his latest goal of appearing on the cover of Men’s Health magazine in 2026. Meanwhile, not only is Bunnie XO spearheading her popular podcast, but she also recently revealed she has a book set to release in fall 2025.

It was a holly jolly Christmas for Britney Spears. The pop star revealed in an Instagram post on Christmas Day that she had reunited with her younger son, Jayden James Federline, on the holiday.
“Best Christmas of my life !!! I haven’t seen my boys in 2 years !!!” wrote the “…Baby One More Time” singer Wednesday (Dec. 25). “Tears of joy and literally in shock everyday koo koo crazy so in love and blessed !!! I’m speechless thank you Jesus !!!”
Her post included a video comprised of clips of the two having fun together. “Hello,” the 18-year-old says into the camera in the first snippet before Spears says, “This is my baby” and gives her son a sweet kiss on his cheek. In a second clip, Jayden once again sends his greetings before the mother-son duo wish viewers a merry Christmas before the view pans over to a roaring fireplace. In yet another clip, the teen says hello again as the Grammy winner tells the camera, “It’s me and Jayden!”

Spears shares Jayden and 19-year-old son Sean Preston with ex-husband Kevin Federline. She and the dancer married in September 2004, and finalized their divorce just shy of three years later in July 2007. Last year, the young men moved to Hawaii with their dad, who received custody of them after the couple split. According to People, the pop star also saw her younger son in early November, when he visited her at her Los Angeles home.
The pop icon detailed her rise to fame, relationship with ex Federline, being a mother, her conservatorship and more in her memoir The Woman in Me, which was released in 2023 and acquired by Universal Pictures, Variety reported in October. Jon M. Chu, who directed Wicked, will be working on the biopic.
“She’s always been someone I’ve looked up to. She represents a generation of people growing up in the 2000s and late ’90s, and she has a story that deserves to be told properly. There’s a lot about us in it,” he told The Hollywood Reporter in November, noting at the time that a script hadn’t been written yet. “But in this initial conception, I think it’s a lot about how we treat people, young people, stars that we think we own, women, mothers.”
