Carly Rae Jepsen and Cole M.G.N. have officially tied the knot.
The pop star, 39, and music producer, 40, exchanged vows on Oct. 4 at New York City’s Chelsea Hotel in an intimate ceremony attended by about 100 guests in the iconic building’s Bard Room, according to Vogue.
“We knew we wanted a location that meant something to us, and the Chelsea Hotel had become a home away from home every time we were in New York,” Jepsen told the publication. “As artists, its iconic history and lore made it that much more appealing. For planning, we had weekly dates to talk out all the details of the wedding. This way it was only ever fun and not too much at once.”
On Saturday (Oct. 25), the “Call Me Maybe” singer confirmed the nuptials on social media, sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses from the celebration. Her posts included black-and-white snapshots from inside the Chelsea Hotel and photos in front of NYC’s Broni & Belle Pizzeria.
“Thank you for this magic,” she captioned the Instagram gallery.
Jepsen wore two wedding looks: a strapless corseted gown by Australian designer Toni Maticevski for the ceremony and a tiered dress by Danielle Frankel for the reception. “We knew we were trying to get pregnant, so I also wanted an alternative dress that was much more flowy that I could sub in for the ceremony or just change into for dancing,” she said.
The intimate celebration reportedly featured a surprise performance by Rufus Wainwright, who delivered an a cappella rendition of Leonard Cohen’s 1974 song “Chelsea Hotel #2.”
Jepsen announced her engagement to Cole M.G.N. in September 2024 through Instagram, sharing photos of the couple embracing outdoors and showing off her sparkling engagement ring. “Very engaged over here,” she captioned the post.
Alongside her personal milestone, Jepsen is celebrating the release of the special edition of her 2010 album, Emotion. The 10th anniversary deluxe project, released on Oct. 17, features four brand-new songs and two remixes of her 2015 single “Run Away With Me” by Kyle Shearer and Rostam.

Marc Piasecki / Halle Berry / Van Hunt
We don’t blame Van Hunt for wanting to put a ring on Halle Berry’s finger, but the actress isn’t quite ready to jump the broom again.
You can put that all-white wedding dress on hold, because Halle Berry will not be meeting her long-time boyfriend Van Hunt at the altar anytime soon.
On a Tuesday taping of Today with Jenna & Friends, the actress and the singer joined Jenna Bush Hager for the first-ever interview together as a couple.
During the interview, with flowers in his hand, Hunt was understandably giddy about his relationship with the Oscar-winning actress, even hinting that he was ready to take things to the next level.
“So I put out the proposal, and it’s still on hold, as you can see,” Hunt said. “It’s just out there floating. You know, maybe you can encourage her.”
Unfortunately for Hunt, thanks to previous failed attempts to attain her happily ever after, Berry gently shut down any talk of marriage.
“Well, I’ve been married three times,” Berry said. “Van has been married once, and so no, we don’t feel like we have to get married to validate our love in any way. We don’t.”
But if Hunt can walk away with anything, she didn’t shut the door entirely on tying the knot with him, while adding that she is in no rush to say ‘I do’ again.
She also joked that her relationship with Hunt is “the longest” she has ever been in.
“When you find your person, you find your person — and I now have found my person,” awwwww.
This moment is not the only time the couple has been in the news.
Halle Berry & Van Hunt Are Very Much In Love
On Mother’s Day, Berry let the world (her social media followers) know precisely what she was doing to celebrate: get laid. In a cute plug for her intimacy gel, the couple was in bed, while a giddy Berry couldn’t contain herself while plugging her lube.
Hunt on the other end was BIG HORNY and wanted her to wrap up her impromptu commercial so the smashing to smithereens could begin and that’s word to Bossip.
Don’t worry, Van, your time is coming.

Charlie Puth and Brooke Sansone are married! After two years of dating, the 32-year-old musician and digital marketing coordinator tied the knot Sept. 7 at Puth’s family home in Montecito, Calif., which they announced 10 days later on Tuesday (Sept. 17).
In photos from the outdoor ceremony, which the groom shared on Instagram, Sansone looks gorgeous in a strapless white dress while the “See You Again” musician sports a black suit with lacy white trim.
“I love you Brooke…I always have,” Puth captioned his post. “With you I am my very best. I promise I’ll love you everyday in this life, and even more when we move on to our next.”

“Thank you for making me the happiest man alive,” he added. “It has always been you.”
The couple have been dating since June 2022, though they both grew up in New Jersey — a fact they paid tribute to by using Bruce Springsteen’s “Jersey Girl” as their first-dance song, according to Vogue. After a year and three months together, Puth flew from Los Angeles to New York City and proposed to Sansone at 11:11 p.m. on Sept. 5, 2023.
“It was just the two of us, sharing Chinese food on the couch in a beautifully intimate moment,” the fashion hobbyist told the publication. “Afterward, we FaceTimed our families to share the news and spent the next few days celebrating in NYC.”
Puth first announced that he was engaged exactly one year prior to the nuptials on Instagram, writing at the time, “I am the happiest, best version of myself and it is all because of you Brookie.” A few months prior, they’d made their red-carpet debut at the Clive Davis pre-Grammy party in Los Angeles.
In October 2022, Puth revealed on The Howard Stern Show that he was “definitely in love” with “someone [he] grew up with.” “As my life gets more turbulent and I travel everywhere, it’s nice to have someone close to you that you’ve known for a very long time,” he added at the time.
Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi definitely aren’t giving love a bad name. According to People, the 20-year-old Stranger Things star and 22-year-old model — who is the son of Jon Bon Jovi — have gotten married after about three years together, tying the knot in a private wedding ceremony last weekend.

It appears that wedding bells may be in order for Vanessa Hudgens and Cole Tucker! According to People, the High School Musical star and the professional baseball player, tied the knot in Tulum, Mexico.
Although both Hudgens, 34, and Tucker, 27, have yet to comment on the reports, photos of the Tick, Tick… Boom! star posing in a white dress made the rounds on X (formerly Twitter) over the weekend (Dec. 3). A post from former High School Musical co-star Monique Coleman added more fuel to the rumors; the Emmy-nominated host shared clips of a sunny beach on her Instagram Story, tagging her location as Tulum, Mexico.
Billboard has reached out to representatives for both Hudgens and Tucker for comment.
In a 2021 Drew Barrymore Show interview, Hudgens recounted how got in touch with Tucker after meeting him in a Zoom meditation group during the peak of COVID-19 lockdowns. “I fully just slid into his DMs and was like, ‘Hey it was nice to meet you,’” she said. “I think there’s no shame in making the first move. If you want it, why wait for someone else to give you what you want?”
On Valentine’s Day 2021 (Feb. 14), Hudgens made the couple Instagram official when she posted a sweep snap of them sharing a kiss. “It’s you, it’s me, it’s us. @cotuck ❤️💋🤟🏽,” she captioned the post. By Feb. 9, 2023, the couple confirmed their engagement — again via Instagram — with a post captioned, “YES. We couldn’t be happier.”
News of Hudgens’ reported marriage closes a busy year for the multi-hyphenate. This year, she starred in the Lily Rabe-directed drama Downtown Owl, hosted the pre-show for the 95th Academy Awards and continued to prep for the forthcoming fourth installment of the Bad Boys franchise.
Vanessa Hudgens has earned 15 entries on the Billboard Hot 100, including the top 10 hits “Breaking Free” (No. 4) and “What Time Is It” (No. 6) from the High School Musical and High School Musical 2 soundtracks, respectively. On the Billboard 200, she has charted both of her solo studio albums: 2006’s V (No. 24) and 2008’s Identified (No. 23).
Sia married her boyfriend Dan Bernad over the weekend in Italy, Billboard can confirm.
According to People, just four guests attended the intimate ceremony, which took place at Villa Olivetta, a private estate owned by fashion designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana in Portofino, Italy. Pictures shared by People show a candlelit ceremony, with the bride in a high-neck lace gown and her hair pulled back to show her oft-hidden face and the groom in an off-white tuxedo.
While it’s unclear how long Sia and Bernad have been dating, they were photographed together at the red-carpet premiere of Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story remake back in December 2021. Sia also shared a picture with Bernad to her Instagram account in October 2022, with the caption: “Pride forever! #lgbtqia+#LAFC #22 also just finished my next album! A great day all round!”
The Australian singer/songwriter was previously married to filmmaker Erik Anders Lang. The pair announced their engagement in June 2014 and were married two months later at her home in Palm Springs, Calif., before filing for divorce in December 2016.
Sia hasn’t released a studio album since 2016’s This Is Acting, but that hasn’t kept her off the Billboard charts. Last year, her song “Unstoppable” from the 2016 project found new life thanks in part to TikTok, topping the Adult Pop Airplay and Adult Contemporary charts six years after its initial release and peaking at No. 28 on the Billboard Hot 100. This Is Acting also spawned Sia’s lone Hot 100 No. 1, the four-week chart-topper “Cheap Thrills.”
