Elizabeth Olsen is about to take on the biggest role of her life!
Yes, we learned today that the beloved MCU star is pregnant and expecting her first child with husband Robbie Arnett.
The exciting baby news comes after Olsen was photographed leaving a restaurant in Los Angeles, where she appeared to show off a noticeable baby bump.
In photos published by People, the actress wore a white button-down shirt left open at the bottom and was seen gently cradling her stomach.
The outlet has since confirmed that Olsen is expecting.
The reveal marks a major milestone for one of Hollywood’s most private couples.
Olsen and Arnett have largely kept their relationship out of the spotlight since they were first linked in 2017.
The pair got engaged in 2019 after roughly three years of dating before quietly tying the knot sometime before the COVID-19 pandemic.
In fact, many fans didn’t even realize the two were married until Olsen casually referred to Arnett as her husband during an interview in 2021.
The actress has long preferred to keep her personal life separate from her career, rarely discussing her marriage in public and seldom sharing details about her relationship.
That privacy has only made this latest development all the more exciting for fans.
Arnett, a musician best known as a member of the indie band Milo Greene, has built a creative partnership with Olsen both personally and professionally.
The couple previously collaborated on the children’s book series Hattie Harmony, which focuses on helping kids manage anxiety.
Despite their low-key lifestyle, Olsen has occasionally offered glimpses into their relationship over the years, describing simple nights at home as some of their favorite ways to spend time together.
Now, it appears the couple is preparing for their biggest adventure yet!
The baby will be the first child for both Olsen and Arnett.
Congratulations to the happy couple on this exciting news!

Earlier this week, the New York Knicks pulled off a historic comeback against the San Antonio Spurs to go up three games to one in the NBA Finals.
As usual, the stars were out in force at MSG’s Celebrity Row, with Taylor Swift shining brightest.
The world’s most famous singer was flanked by friends Mariska Hargitay and the Haim sisters, all of them wearing t-shirts featuring puns on the team’s name (Taylor’s read “Stevie Knicks).
When the Knicks won, Taylor seemed as happy as a million Chalamets — but like everything she does, her attendance quickly became a source of controversy.
Now, Taylor spent years living in Manhattan, and she considers New York her adopted hometown.
But lots of folks are questioning her legitimacy as a Knicks fan. In short, she’s being accused of an egregious act of bandwagon jumping.
Normally, that’s a pretty innocuous crime, and most sports fans are a little bit guilty of it at one point or another (hey, you have to do something when your team is eliminated from the playoffs).
But as Mariska knows, some violations are considered especially heinous, and in the eyes of New Yorkers, a casual fan claiming four courtside seats is a capital offense.
Some believe that even Selena Gomez shaded Taylor’s Knicks fandom, a rumor that arose when Selena commented “lol” on a post about Swift sitting courtside.
But as TMZ points out, Selena has since clarified the matter, insisting that she did not intend to insult her bestit.
“Woke up and was sent so many texts. I would never insult my friends nor was it an insult,” she posted.
The same cannot be said of New York sports journalist Monica McNutt, who was caught remarking on Taylor’s presence in an unfortunate hot mic moment.
“She’s not a Knicks fan. Get out of here, girl,” McNutt said ahead of the game.
In remarks to TMZ, McNutt later clarified that she stands corrected and has since learned that Taylor is actually a diehard Knicks fan who owns such coveted merch as a game-worn Amar’e Stoudamire jersey.
McNutt stated that her original comment was merely a reflection of the fact that she had been covering Celebrity Row all season and had not seen Taylor attend a game.
So there you have it. Taylor has the express written, authorized approval of the Knicks media team.
Will she be in the crowd on Tuesday if the Spurs manage to send the series back to New York? Maybe.
But Taylor is probably hoping Jalen Brunson and company will get the job done tomorrow night.
We’ll keep you posted.

The conviction of Karmelo Anthony just gained a disturbing new layer of controversy.
Just days after Anthony was sentenced to 35 years in prison, the father of slain teen Austin Metcalf took to social media to share his thoughts on the verdict.
And instead of offering his condolences to Karmelo’s parents or calling for compassion and empathy, as many hoped he would, Jeff Metcalf is stoking the flames of racial hatred.
During an appearance on Sarah Fields’ “JinxedSip” podcast, Metcalf unleashed a tirade of anger, much of it laden with truly shocking bigotry.
Metcalf began by calling out Karmelo’s father, saying, “Andrew Anthony, you’re a p–sy and a coward, and you raised one.”
He then turned his attention to Karmelo’s mother, saying:
“Kala, you drunk b–ch. What did you do to that boy to make him stab somebody? My God, what kind of mother are you?
Austin then turns his attention to someone named Kevin Hayes, who allegedly wanted to fight him.
Watch full video on TMZ
He refers to Hayes as “the only one in your family without a record,” then says, “I guess that’s something to brag about in your culture.”
It’s at that point that the rant becomes even more explicitly racist:
“You people hang your hat on the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen,” Metcalf seethes.
“Let me make something racist up so y’all can go viral. I got a new name for ‘Melo … How about ‘Watermelon Felon?’ How’s that one strike you?”
Metcalf then taunts Kala and Andrew about Karmelo’s future:
“I hope he enjoyed his first night in that cell last night. Because he’s gonna have many nights to think about what the f–k he did.
Metcalf then makes a rather dubious claim, saying:
“I forgave him so that I don’t carry the hate and the anger. So that I don’t get ate up. Like cancer, it kills you from the inside.
“So when people ask me, ‘How can you forgive him?’ If I didn’t, I would’ve wound up killing him and going to prison myself.”
When discussing the Anthony case, it’s important to bear in mind that we’re talking about two sets of parents consumed by grief over two promising young lives cut short.
Austin Metcalf is dead at the age of 17. Karmelo Anthony will be nearly 40 before he’s even eligible for parole.
All of this over a momentary altercation at a high school track meet.
The situation is almost unfathomably tragic, and despite his claims to the contrary, we have no doubt that Jeff Metcalf is consumed with outrage over the senseless circumstances of his son’s death.
But none of that gives him the excuse to make the situation even more horrific and dangerous by encouraging racial hatred toward the Anthony family.
The reaction to Metcalf’s comments has been predictably negative, but sadly, he’s already found quite a few supporters in the darker corners of social media.
In other words, he has succeeded in making a horrific situation even worse.
We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Earlier this spring, Lindsie Chrisley’s DUI arrest showed that things aren’t quite right with her.
Considering her family and her latest boyfriend, that was no surprise.
Kailyn Lowry explained that Lindsie is taking a little break from their podcast. We hope that she’s getting the help that she needs.
Jenelle Evans, however, says that Kail is hiding the truth. Did she kick Lindsie off of their shared podcast?
She’s ‘taking time to heal’
On a recent episode of the Coffee Convos podcast, Kailyn confirmed that Lindsie will no longer be her special guest on the “Fatherless Behavior” podcast tour.
Now, this is not a huge surprise.
Lindise’s May 24 DUI arrest made plenty of headlines, after all.
Kail explained that her co-host is “taking time to heal and kind of sort of reevaluate whatever it is she’s going to do next.”
To be clear, Kailyn did not at any point say that this was some sort of deliberate uncoupling due to the arrest or whatever.
Jenelle Evans is saying that she would have used the bad press — a topic with which she is intimately familiar — to drive up podcast numbers.
“Honestly, if that was me, and Lindsie got a DUI, I wouldn’t have kicked Lindsie off the podcast,” she said on an ill-advised TikTok Live.
Jenelle added: “I literally would be like, ‘This is gonna be used for our advantage.’
“Like, I feel like lots of people have got DUIs before,” Jenelle commented, calling back memories of Deavon Clegg’s allegations about her endangering her kids with impaired driving.
She continued: “No, it’s not great that she got a DUI, but hopefully she learns from it, but then she can talk about it.”
‘You’re not good enough for Kail’
According to Jenelle, Kail ditched Lindsie as soon as she caught some heat. Does that sound likely?
“If your reputation’s not good enough, you’re not good enough for Kail, you know,” she claimed. (This line in particular really, really seems like projection.)
Jenelle then claimed that her erstwhile fellow Teen Mom castmate had “said or told everyone that Lindsie’s off the podcast now.”
She then harped upon a familiar story, saying that she’d be happy to be cohosts with Lindsie.
Notably, Jenelle has previously claimed that she and Lindsie nearly collaborated on a podcast. Lindsie denied the claim at the time, calling it “outlandish.”
Taking to Facebook, of all places, Kailyn made it clear that she “didn’t kick Lindsie off the pod.”
In fact, it doesn’t sound like she could, even if she wanted to.
“She is still 50 [percent] owner,” Kail clarified.
Kailyn removed her list of podcasts from her Instagram bio to make it easier for fans to purchase tickets to her upcoming tour.
“There’s nothing else to it,” she confirmed. “Just wanted to clear those things up.”

He might not be a reality star anymore, but James Kennedy remains messy enough to fuel a dozen seasons of a Bravo show.
As we previously reported, Kennedy is expecting his first child with his current girlfriend.
There’s nothing inherently messy about that news (well, unless you consider how recently Kennedy was arrested for allegedly assaulting his previous girlfriend), but the more we learn about this situation, the ickier it gets.
Until today, we didn’t know anything about James’ baby mama.
But now, the troubled ex-Vanderpump Rules star has identified her as 23-year-old North Carolina native Jordan Meyers.
“We are thrilled to share that Jordan and I are expecting our first child together,” Kennedy said in a statement issued to People on Friday.
“We have previously kept our relationship out of the public eye, and this is the first time we’re sharing it publicly,” he continued, adding:
“We wanted to keep things personal while we were building our relationship together, and we’ve shared this news privately with close friends and family for some time now.”
“The second I met James, we instantly felt such a strong spark between us,” Meyers chimed in.
Jordan went on to reveal that she and James met on Instagram,
“We initially connected on Instagram and then met in person at one of his shows. I’m from North Carolina, so I went to visit James for what was supposed to be ‘three days,’ which has now turned into eight months together,” she said, adding:
“Watching our love grow and preparing to become parents together has been the most incredible experience,” adds Meyers.
Now, Jordan is 11 years James’ junior, which is not a massive age gap, but the fact that a dude in his mid-thirties was chatting up fans in their early twenties on social media? Well, it might not do any favors for his battered public image.
Just four months after the couple started dating, Jordan became pregnant.
“As we prepare for this next chapter, it felt like the right moment to share it more widely,” James said of the couple’s decision to go public.
“This is an incredibly special and meaningful time for us, and we feel deeply grateful to be stepping into this new chapter surrounded by love and support from our family and friends,” he said, adding:
“It’s been a grounding and exciting part of our lives, and we’re looking forward to everything ahead. As we get ready to welcome our baby, we’re focused on embracing all of the joy, growth, and change that comes with becoming parents.”
“I’m so excited for all the beautiful memories still to come — we are already so in love with our little one!” Meyers added.
James’ previous relationship drama has been well-documented. But the controversial DJ swears he’s changed his ways.
Of course, Jax Taylor said the same thing, and look how that turned. Anyway! Wishing theste two all the best. People really can change, and we hope that James has done the necessary work.

It’s been a huge week for Elon Musk.
Screwworm is back in the US for the first time since the 1960s. A racist mob in Belfast attacked families of color in a pogrom.
His biggest accomplishment may be that SpaceX, his rocket company, is going public — inflating its estimated valuation to thirteen digits.
The world’s richest man is set to become the world’s first trillionaire. And some of that money might be yours.
This could make a lot of money for a few people
Friday, June 12, is the day that SpaceX went public, selling 555 million shares at $135 each.
The plan is to raise around $75 billion, elevating the company’s total estimated value to $1.77 trillion.
This is both the largest I.P.O. in history and a huge risk for investors.
The New York Times warns that analysts have argued that SpaceX is “significantly overvalued.”
SpaceX is not a profitable company. It is reliant upon government contracts and lost billions last year.
Still, many investors operate on FOMO.
For other examples, look no further than investments in LLM (“AI”) companies over the past couple of years.
These are slop projects that don’t generate profit and a bubble that is doomed to burst (sooner rather than later, please), but investors hope to squeeze as much profit out as possible — and are gambling that they’ll cut and run sooner than others when the only tech scam more annoying than NFTs finally collapses.
Say what you will about SpaceX, but while it doesn’t generate a profit, it does at least offer a product or service: rockets.
Should governments be contracting space flight to private companies instead of funding our own rockets and shuttles? Of course not. But rockets are a real product that do a measurable amount of good despite their environmental impact. That counts for something, right?
SpaceX goes public tomorrow. A wonderful moment for cynical shills and Patagonia gargoyles to roll in the filth of the dodgiest company to list since Enron. This is the last exit route for capital for a minute. A big win for horrible people, but a brief one before a dark era for Silicon Valley

Experts warn that a lot of everyday investors are unprotected and could lose a lost
Investors are one thing. What about everyday people who neither like nor trust Musk or his products?
Well, if you have certain investment portfolios, like a 401(k), you might be out of luck.
See, normally, a company that’s just gone public doesn’t get included in the nation’s top stock indexes.
However, SpaceX got fast-tracked, by their own request. That’s a little odd, especially for a company that loses billions annually.
People with investments in index fund behemoths like Fidelity and Vanguard may end up accidentally enriching Musk without their knowledge or approval. And carrying significant risk in the process.
The pogrom in Belfast in which a white nationalist mob attacked people for the color of their skin came only after Musk repeatedly boosted
Musk’s DOGE cuts as part of the Trump regime’s early months are already responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths. One of the many victims was funding for screwworm monitoring, which works to avoid exactly the problem that has now cropped up in two US states (and counting).
That, on top of so much else, has many people clamoring for Musk to be tried at the Hague.
It’s a lovely sentiment, but a little dramatic. The United States (not to mention N. Ireland and elsewhere) has plenty of courts that will do just as well.
The good news is that Musk becoming a trillionaire is mostly a matter of valuation. People estimate that his products have some sort of value, inflated how much they guess that he’s worth, in theory. These numbers can plummet.
The even better news is that no amount of wealth actually makes someone immune to prosecution and other legal actions.

On Tuesday, 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony was found guilty of murdering 17-year-old Austin Metcalf during a 2025 altercation at a high school track meet.
The news sparked tense debate across social media, as Anthony, who is Black, was sentenced to 35 years after being convicted by a jury with no Black jurors.
Now, Congressman Randy Fine is stoking the flames of controversy by insisting that Anthony deserved an even harsher sentence.
“Karmelo Anthony deserves the death penalty,” the Florida congressman tweeted this week, adding:
“Anything less is unacceptable.”
Now, Anthony is a teen who committed a non-premeditated murder during a heated confrontation, all of which would make him a highly unlikely candidate for the death penalty.
But Fine doubled down on his remarks when TMZ caught up with him earlier this week.
“What he did to that kid was horrible, and I think it’s important to tell our country that we’re not going to allow that kind of behavior,” Fine told the outlet.
“Part of the reason to send a message that strong is because of all the people who didn’t think he should be punished at all.
Watch full video on TMZ
When the TMZ journalist pointed out that Anthony could have received a lesser manslaughter conviction (and we don’t typically execute teens to make a political point in this country), Fine stood his ground.
“I think we need to send a message about behaviors we’ll put up with and behaviors that we won’t,” he said.
The Texas jury rejected Anthony’s self-defense claim, and he was eventually sentenced to 35 years in prison.
Fine was quick to express support for a harsher punishment after the verdict was revealed, maintaining that Anthony deserved the death penalty despite the fact that Texas law prohibited such a sentence because of Anthony’s age at the time of the crime.
His remarks immediately generated backlash from critics who accused him of politicizing a tragedy and inflaming tensions surrounding an already divisive case.
Others, however, applauded Fine for taking a hardline stance in support of the Metcalf family.
Prosecutors argued that Anthony escalated a dispute and fatally stabbed Metcalf, while defense attorneys maintained that Anthony feared for his safety and acted in self-defense. Jurors ultimately sided with the prosecution and returned a guilty verdict.
Even after the conviction, the case has remained a lightning rod for political commentary, with public figures, activists, and elected officials continuing to debate everything from the sentence itself to the broader issues of race, justice, and accountability raised during the trial.
Fine’s latest comments ensured that those debates aren’t ending anytime soon.
Supporters argued that the severity of the crime warranted the harshest punishment available, while opponents pointed out that Anthony was legally ineligible for the death penalty because he was a juvenile when the stabbing occurred.
The congressman’s refusal to soften his position only fueled another round of heated exchanges online, where opinions about the case remain deeply divided.
Regardless of Fine’s intentions, the fact remains that more than one year after Austin Metcalf lost his life, the tragedy continues to generate strong emotions — and politicians like Randy Fine appear determined to keep themselves at the center of the conversation.
