Jessica confirmed the split in an Instagram post. "I've been on a journey of self realization and transformation for years – both as an individual and in partnership with Cash," she wrote on January 16. "I'm proud of how we've grown as a couple and in our marriage over the last 20 years and it's now time for us to embark on a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals."

Alba met Warren on the set of "Fantastic Four" in 2004, where he was working as an assistant producer. They got married in 2008 and welcomed three children together: Honor, 16, Haven, 13, and Hayes, 7.

In 2023, Warren confessed that prior to tying the knot, he and Jessica briefly separated. He told Jana Kramer on "Whine Down with Jana Kramer" podcast that he was "really jealous of other guys and the attention that she was getting from other guys,” while they were dating. "It just wasn’t making me feel good," he said. "I was always a pretty confident person… And next thing you know, I’m looking up and just feeling jealous all the time. I was like, I hate feeling like this, it doesn’t make me feel good, and I know it doesn’t make you feel good," he said. He added that he felt like he was "turning into an a--hole” and so they broke up. “And during that time apart, I was just, like, if we ever got back together – I, like, made a promise to myself to channel that in a different way, into a more productive way."

They Became “Roommates"

During an interview on Katherine Schwarzenegger's Instagram show, "Before, During and After Baby” in 2021, Alba confessed that marriage wasn’t always a fairytale. "It's all rosy for 2 1/2 years," Alba said "But then after that, you become roommates,” she said. "You're just going through the motions. You have the responsibilities. It's a lot of, like, checking the boxes, right?"

Selena Gomez is one of the most transparent celebrities on the subject of mental health. Growing up in the public eye, she faced a lot of pressure from work, high profile relationships, physical health problems, and even from her fans. In a new interview with Fast Company, Selena, now 31, openly discusses some of her lowest points, including the backlash she experienced when bathing suit photos taken by paparazzi made her the subject of online bullying.


1. Selena Had a Lot of “Responsibility” at a Young Age

“When I was younger, I thought I could save the world,” Gomez tells Fast Company. “It breaks my heart to hear a girl come up to me and say, ‘I was so close to taking my life, but when I watched your documentary, I couldn’t imagine doing that anymore.’ That’s the coolest gift, but yeah, look at me . . . ,” she said crying. “It’s crazy to have that responsibility.”

2. In 2016 She Checked Into a 90-Day Treatment Program

She struggled with her mental health and ended up canceling the final leg of her Revival tour in 2016. She got help, checking herself into a 90-day stint at a treatment facility in Tennessee. Then, the following year she underwent a kidney transplant after a lupus diagnosis.

3. In 2020 She Revealed She Was Bipolar

She didn’t discuss her mental health until 2020, revealing in a one-on-one conversation with Miley Cyrus on Instagram Live that she’d been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. “I went through a really hard season. It was my highs and my lows, and I didn’t know what to do, so I couldn’t control it. I would want to cancel things. It was just a tormented feeling. That’s why, when I found out my diagnosis, it was just, ‘Oh, okay, I feel a bit relieved, I understand a bit more.’ I got second opinions. I went to doctors. I’m fortunate enough to be able to have people who can help me survive every day.”

4. She Was “Freaked” Out

“I grew up being a people pleaser,” she continued. “I had a responsibility at a very young age—young people were looking up to me. I didn’t know who I was. Having that responsibility would make me walk on eggshells a lot. I thought maybe it would be damaging to tell people who I am. It started to become a threat that freaked me out. Well, if you’re not right, then you can’t work.”

5. Her Diagnosis Left Her Feeling “A Bit Relieved”

“I went through a really hard season. It was my highs and my lows, and I didn’t know what to do, so I couldn’t control it. I would want to cancel things. It was just a tormented feeling. That’s why, when I found out my diagnosis, it was just, ‘Oh, okay, I feel a bit relieved, I understand a bit more.’ I got second opinions. I went to doctors. I’m fortunate enough to be able to have people who can help me survive every day.”

6. Social Media Became Too Toxic for Her During Her Justin Bieber Breakup

Around the same time she was trying to heal from her final breakup with on-again, off-again boyfriend Justin Bieber, and found that social media had become too toxic a space for her. She handed over her password to her assistant and stayed off. “I had just gotten my heart broken. I didn’t need to see what everyone was doing,” she says. “Then there were those moments of not feeling positive about how I looked because of what I’d see on Instagram. Wow, I wish my body looked like that.”

7. Then, the Paparazzi Photos in Her Bathing Suit Surfaced

Los,Angeles,,Ca.,October,15,,2022:,Selena,Gomez,At,TheShutterstock

In 2018 paparazzi surfaced of Gomez in a bikini while boating in Australia, and trolls came out to get her. Before, she’d “had a teenager’s body,” she says.

8. She Was “Embarrassed,” But “How Unrealistic Is It to Expect a Normal Woman’s Body Not to Change?”

Los,Angeles,,Usa.,January,11,,2020:,Selena,Gomez,At,TheShutterstock

Now, “none of the sample sizes were fitting, and that would make me feel embarrassed. Although how unrealistic is it to expect a normal woman’s body not to change?”

9. She Hit Back at the Trolls

Los,Angeles,-,Jun,11:,Selena,Gomez,Arrives,For,‘onlyShutterstock

She decided to take a break from her social media detox and hit back. She took steady aim at “the beauty myth—an obsession with physical perfection that traps modern woman in an endless cycle of hopelessness, self-consciousness, and self-hatred as she tries to fulfill society’s impossible definition of flawless beauty.”

Springtime is just around the corner, and these celebrities are ready for it. They all posted stunning and revealing photos on their social media this week. Jessica Alba shared a family photo dump from the beach. Kendall Jenner shared a new magazine cover. Joey King is in paradise. How do they stay so fit while keeping so busy? Read on to see all the ways the world’s biggest celebs stay in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!


1. Kendall Jenner

Kendall Jenner covered i-D magazine in a pink bathing suit this week. When it comes to wellness, Jenner says that getting enough sleep is important for her, especially before a job. She says she needs seven or eight hours “to function.” “Create a room that's ideal for sleeping. Often, this means cool, dark and quiet. Exposure to light might make it more challenging to fall asleep. Avoid prolonged use of light-emitting screens just before bedtime. Consider using room-darkening shades, earplugs, a fan or other devices to create an environment that suits your needs,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Doing calming activities before bedtime, such as taking a bath or using relaxation techniques, might promote better sleep.”

2. Melissa Gorga

Melissa Gorga shared this beach photo on Instagram with her fellow Real Housewives of New Jersey stars. When it comes to her diet, Gorga says that she doesn't like to do restrictive diets. "I never do fad diets," she says Women’s Health. "I feel like I do a lot better with my own routine. It’s worked for me forever." Gorga also says that she prioritizes consistency with her diet and exercise. "I feel better when I eat healthy. If I don’t work out for a week or two, I feel miserable."

3. Joey King

Actress Joey King posed by a waterfall in Costa Rica this week. When it comes to wellness, specifically her diet, King says to New Potato, that she tries to be healthy, but doesn’t drive herself crazy over it. “As far as diet and exercise go, I try to eat as healthfully as possible, but I don't make myself crazy. If I'm craving a piece of bread or a bowl of pasta, sometimes I just need to listen to my body and indulge."

4. Leah McSweeney

Leah McSweeney shared a swimsuit snap from a trip to Jamaica this week. She revealed to Yahoo Life that she decided to get sober at the beginning of the pandemic. "I realized that it was gonna just go so dark so quick," she says. "…It's very hard to drink in a light and fun way during a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic when you’re stuck at home, and people are dying everywhere. So yeah, I think that that kind of definitely put it in a full-speed stop."

5. Jessica Alba

Jessica Alba shared several beach and swimsuit photos on Instagram. When it comes to working out, Alba tells Marie Claire that she likes to use fitness apps and videos to stay in shape. “I downloaded a few apps and I'll watch YouTube videos of different fitness folks. So I signed up to [the Equinox+] app and they do meditation, they do yoga, strength training. They have all those things and you can keep track of your health.”

6. Nicole Scherzinger

Singer Nicole Scherzinger posted a photo on Instagram of herself enjoying a margarita in a pink bikini. When it comes to her diet, she tells Women’s Health that she believes in moderation. “Don't deprive yourself of anything because eventually you'll crave it and then you might binge on it. Everything in moderation.”

7. Jordana Brewster

Actress Jordana Brewster posed in front of the mirror in an olive green one-piece swimsuit. Brewster broke down some of her favorite workouts to NewBeauty. She says that she does a lot of work on the treadmill. “I like interval training on the treadmill—side shuffles, walking at a fast pace on an incline and running.”

8. Ayesha Curry

Ayesha Curry posted a photo on Instagram of herself posing in a blue swimsuit, while enjoying the pool. Curry told Women’s Health that she believes in moderation, saying, “I'm not a dieter. For me, it was really about learning how to exercise portion control and living that 80/20 life."

9. Alessandra Ambrosio

Alessandra Ambrosio posed in a blue polka dot bikini in the ocean on her Instagram story this week. "I've been doing a lot of Tracy Anderson now, and it's a lot of dancing cardio, and I love it. I'm obsessed with it,” she told E! News. “I have the best time, because the music is really loud and you don't really feel like you're working out. You feel like you're dancing and learning this cool dance move.”

10. Gabby Allen

Gabby Allen posed in a black bikini in an outdoor jacuzzi on Instagram, where she didn’t let the cold environment stop her from showing skin. Allen has gorgeous skin and hair, and she tells Women Fitness that she believes her diet helps keep them that way. “I preach that at least 2 liters of water a day will help to nourish your skin and hair. And I minimise dairy products and refined sugar. I also try and have as many red skinned fruits and veg in my diet as I believe it helps with healthy skin tone!”

Alba says that she uses her company’s Tinted Lip Balm. "I love when my lips are not dry and cracked. This lip treatment is also a gloss. It also has Vitamin C.

2. Angelina Jolie

Los,Angeles,-,Jan,11:,Angelina,Jolie,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Actress and humanitarian, Angelina Jolie has six children with ex, Brad Pitt. She works with dermatologist, Rhonda Rand, to keep her skin healthy. Rand reveals to Refinery29 that Jolie uses a lot of organic products. “It was really just sunscreen, proper cleansing with a mild, gentle cleanser, antioxidants, sometimes glycolic [acids], and natural products. Some alpha hydroxy [acids] are good too, and they’re very natural. She doesn’t need major scrubs or products with lots of chemicals."

3. Eva Longoria

Los,Angeles,,Ca.,June,09,,2023:,Eva,Longoria,At,TheShutterstock

Eva Longoria welcomed her first child in 2018. She talked about the post-baby weight loss process later that year to Us Weekly. “I really gave my body time to adjust to postpartum and post-pregnancy,” she said. “You know, it had a baby! It created a human life, so I really wasn’t too hard about getting back into shape. Now I’m working out a lot more and watching what I eat. I’m barely starting to get back into it.”

4. Gabrielle Union

Los,Angeles,-,Mar,04:,Gabrielle,Union,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Actress Gabrielle Union has one daughter with her husband, Dwayne Wade. She is also a stepmom to Wade’s three children. Union makes sure to stay motivated to workout, and has a good reason for doing so. "Knowing that there are people who cannot wait to circle your fat and draw an arrow to it keeps me in the gym," she told Health Magazine. "So between fearing health issues and fearing (tabloid articles like) 'Stars, they're just like us! Look at their cellulite!' - that keeps me in the gym. Then, when I get in there, I get competitive and won't leave. I basically have the Olympics happening in my mind with strangers. They don't realise we're competing, but I usually take gold. Mainly because they've left."

5. Behati Prinsloo

Los,Angeles,-,Nov,04:,Behati,Prinsloo,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Model Behati Prinsloo has three children with husband Adam Levine. She shared her fitness secrets with The Cut. “My workouts are usually scheduled out. People can’t just come whenever, so I have to alter my mood to the workout I’m doing. If I’m really committed, I’ll do it three or four times a week. If I’m not doing anything, I’ll do it twice a week, or at least once a week if I’m really being lazy — even if it’s just going to the beach and walking.”

6. Serena Williams

Los,Angels,,Ca,-,Feb,27,,2023:,Serena,Williams,AtShutterstock

Tennis champ Serena Williams has two children with husband Alexis Ohanian, welcoming her second earlier this year. She talked about her workout secrets with Fitness Magazine. “I ran, and then I biked. Then I did elliptical. That didn't work out so well, because it was boring, so I tried yoga. I started dancing because I couldn't train when I was sick. We started making up moves, and it was fun. Now I run for 10 minutes, and then I dance.”

7. Kate Hudson

Los,Angeles,,Ca.,February,24,,2023:,Kate,Hudson,At,TheShutterstock

Actress and Fabletics founder, Kate Hudson, has three children. She shared some of her wellness secrets in a 2016 interview with SELF. Hudson says that she believes in indulging once in a while. "If I want to go out and eat at a restaurant with amazing food, I'll do that, like, once a week where I'm not thinking about it," she says. "I want to indulge! I want to do things that are not necessarily healthy sometimes."

8. Hilary Duff

Beverly,Hills,,Ca.,March,12,,2023:,Hilary,Duff,At,TheShutterstock

Hilary Duff has three children, two daughters with husband Matthew Bair, and a son with ex Mike Comrie.

9. Gwyneth Paltrow

Los,Angeles,-,Apr,23:,Gwyneth,Paltrow,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Actress and GOOP founder, Gwyneth Paltrow, shares two children with ex Chris Martin. She revealed to Shape that she likes to cook healthy meals for herself and her family. “I have a bunch of chicken dishes and pasta go-tos, and I do a lot of stir-fry for the kids. I always keep cooked brown rice in the fridge. Then it takes two minutes to chop up some vegetables, make a nice sauce, and you're done."

10. Jennifer Lopez

Actress and singer, Jennifer Lopez, has twins with her ex, Marc Anthony. She revealed in a Vogue interview that she has learned to put herself first, and that this helps her be there for her kids. “You turn yourself into a pretzel for people and think that that’s a noble thing, to put yourself second,” she says. “And it’s not. Those patterns become deep patterns that you carry with you, and then at a certain point you go, Wait, this doesn’t feel good. Why am I never happy? I really felt that way for a long time. And finally I was just like, Ugh! It’s time to figure me out because I need to be good for these babies. And even from there, with all the willingness I had, it took years and years to really put the pieces together, like, Oh, this thing I do because of this, that thing I do because that happened to me at this age.”

11. Halle Berry

Actress and mom of two, Halle Berry, works with Peter Lee Thomas to keep herself in shape. Thomas shared Berry’s wellness secrets in an interview with HollywoodLife. He says that the actress loves raw veggies and fruit as snacks. “During the day she will snack on raw organic veggies, like celery and cucumber slices and that sort of thing. She always has lots of cut up veggies around and it’s great because the kids like to snack on that too. Another snack she has is organic fruit. She likes blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and blackberries, those are all good on the ketogenic plan.”

12. Scarlett Johansson

In addition to being a mom of two and an actress, Scarlett Johansson also has her own skincare line, The Outset. Johansson’s line includes organic ingredients, and she uses them on her own skin. One product she uses is her micellar antioxidant cleanser. “This cleanser is so hydrating and gentle,” Johansson shared on the website. “The formula is sulfate-free, so it removes makeup without stripping the skin. I love that it leaves my skin feeling so soft and clean afterwards.”

13. Charlize Theron

Los,Angeles,-,Oct,17:,Charlize,Theron,Arrives,For,ElleShutterstock

Charlize Theron has two adopted daughters. She revealed in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar that she loves to do Pilates to keep herself in shape. “It’s totally changed my body,” she said. “I’m always calculating my activity. If I haven’t been moving a lot, I can’t eat a lot. Or maybe it’s a cheat day. But I’m honest with myself.”

14. Cate Blanchett

Beverly,Hills,,Ca.,March,12,,2023:,Cate,Blanchett,At,TheShutterstock

Actress Cate Blanchett shares four children with her husband. In an interview with The Cut, she revealed her go-to workout. “I really like Pilates. I feel like it’s made for actors’ bodies. For me, I need to do it one-on-one. I find that when you go into a big class, you actually need a guiding hand. At home we have an elliptical trainer, which is good because that’s often the only exercise I get. But my job is very active — I end up stretching each day before I go on, so I feel very taken care of in that way.”

15. Alicia Keys

Alicia,Keys,At,The,2019,Billboard,Women,In,Music,HeldShutterstock

Singer Alicia Keys, and her husband, rapper Swiss Beatz, have two children. Keys revealed in an interview with Vogue that she has cut some food out of her diet. “I’ve cut out dairy... and also, believe it or not, getting rid of the breads,” she says. “Let me tell you, I’m the first person… I am a ‘breadaholic’. And then obviously, the fried foods, the oil and all that in the skin is never really good.”

16. Nicole Kidman

Los,Angeles,-,Apr,18:,Nicole,Kidman,Arrives,For,ìtheShutterstock

Nicole Kidman has four children, two with ex Tom Cruise, and two with husband Keith Urban. In a 2014 interview with The Los Angeles Times, she shared her workout secrets. "Variety is the best way I’ve found,” Kidman says. “If you think you are going to wake up and run five miles every morning for the rest of your life, you’ll get bored and hit the snooze button after a week. So I try and mix it up with sports, running, yoga, and even just going for a walk with my husband and the kids.”

17. Padma Lakshmi

Los,Angeles,-,Sep,9:,Padma,Lakshmi,At,The,2018Shutterstock

TV host and former model, Padma Lakshmi, has one daughter. She shared some of her favorite foods in an interview with EatingWell. “I usually just try reaching for an apple, to be honest. I love Honeycrisp apples; we get great ones from the Union Square market, especially this time of year. I will often just slice up an apple and have it with some peanut butter, that's a great snack for me. I love just a handful of almonds—I think anything we can do to have nuts and fruits, those good fats and natural sugars that we may crave are better than eating things we can't pronounce.”

18. Jennifer Garner

Los,Angeles,-,Apr,13:,Jennifer,Garner,Arrives,For,Apple+Shutterstock

Actress Jennifer Garner shares three children with ex Ben Affleck. She broke down her typical diet in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar. "A typical lunch is a big arugula salad, some dark greens," Garner says. "It's chopped-up veggies, whatever's fresh in the garden—broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, sugar snap peas, peppers, anything."

19. Julia Roberts

Los,Angeles,,Ca.,January,06,,2019:,Julia,Roberts,At,TheShutterstock

Julia Roberts shares three children with husband Danny Moder. She revealed in an interview with People that she isn’t afraid to indulge in her favorite foods. “I love a good cookie,” Roberts said. “Why is everybody scared of pasta? Pasta never did anything to you. Don’t be mean to pasta.”

20. Penélope Cruz

Penélope Cruz has two children with husband Javier Bardem. She opened up about her diet and workout secrets to InStyle. “I do Bikram yoga, which has completely changed my body. You're drenched in sweat throughout the entire class. It's 90 minutes, but once you conquer 60, the last 30 gets easier. I used to be sluggish, and now my level of energy is through the roof. It's like magic, but you have to earn that magic.”

Sophie Nélisse wowed us all on the Showtime series Yellowjackets, playing young Shauna, the teenage survivor of a plane crash with her fellow high school soccer players who grows up locked into a mystery that involves cannibalism, murder and betrayal. How did the 24-year-old Canadian land such a role, and how does she stay mentally fit? (One way is to take a vacation after all the hard work; she just shared photos of herself in a swimsuit in her recent “Mexico roll” photo dump.) Read on to see 5 ways Sophie Nélisse approaches life and work and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!


1. She’s “Never Satisfied” With Her Work and “Shocked” at all the Love

“I'm quite the pessimist in general,” she told Dead Talk Live when asked about whether or not she thought Yellowjackets would get a second season. (It has.) “Like I'm never satisfied with any of the work that I do. So I was quite skeptical. But the show runners and everyone that was working on the project, they kept telling us towards the end of the shoot, how amazing the first episodes were and how the response to it was great. And they were very confident that the show would get the amount of love and respect that it got. I was skeptical. But it's hard to say when you're in it, when you're shooting it, there's always little things that you see that other people don't….I mean, I'm still kind of shocked at the amount of love we've been getting.”

2. This is Why the Show Broke Out So Fast, She Thinks

sophie-nelisse-instagramSophie Nélisse / Instagram

Why did Yellowjackets become such an immediate smash? “I think it's because it's mostly a bunch of women and that's something we're not used to seeing,” she told Dead Talk Live. “We're used to seeing groups of people and, and we know that men are strong and capable of such cruelty and aggressivity. And that's not expected of women. We're not used to seeing women's darker side and flaws. And I think that that's what makes the show so unique and, to see how strong women are together, when we work as a team and as a group were kind of undefeatable and I think that's what's so amazing about the show.”

3. This is How She Approached Playing a Younger Version of a Well-Known Actress

Playing a young Melanie Lynskey, “For me, it wasn't that difficult because if you look at it from a character point of view, my character, when she's set in the wilderness or at any time, actually doesn't know what's gonna happen ahead of her,” she told Dead Talk News. “So I try not to let anything that's written of my older self affect my character, the way I play things, because Shauna doesn't know what events are about to happen. She doesn't know if she's gonna kill someone. She doesn't know what's to come. So I kind of try to just take it day by day. Obviously now that I've seen the first season and, and seen how Melanie plays Shauna, there are little things that I've picked up on, like the way she clenches her lips together sometimes, or the way she just plays certain lines, the dark humor that she brings to it. Those are definitely things that I'm gonna try to incorporate in the second season, if I have a chance.”

4. She Underwent a Physical Transformation

To play a young Shauna, “I had to go through obviously some physical changes because I'm blonde with blue eyes and in the show I've” got brown hair “with brown eyes. And I also noticed when we first started talking that we have quite a different like pitch in her voice, like she speaks way higher and I speak quite lower. So we kind of had to adjust to sort of meet in the middle and kind of, sort of sound the same.”

“I kind of fell into acting when I was young because my brother wanted to become an actor,” she said at the Toronto International Film Festival way back in 2016. “And at the time I was doing gymnastics, so I kind of just started acting a bit to get money, to pay for the travel expenses. And recently I was sitting down because I needed to find what I needed to study after I finished high school and I was looking at all these different jobs and I was like, nothing is as interesting as like acting. And I was like, there's nothing that fits with my personality as much as acting. I was like, being an actress: It makes me travel. It makes me meet different people every day. And the kind of the routine of like a job that you do the same thing every day, that really bugs me. And with acting, I don't have that. It's always something different and something new. And so I discovered that I really wanted to be an actress, only like three months ago.”

Ekin-Su Culculoglu found true love on Love Island: Davide Sanclimenti. And despite their ups and downs since the show, the duo have confirmed to be reunited. Meanwhile, Culculoglu is also seeking good-looking things in all kinds of places. “There’s beauty to be found in the unknown,” she captioned a new swimsuit photo. What’s her take on her time on the show? Here’s what she says.


1. Being on the Show was “Overwhelming” and Wonderful

“It's been absolutely overwhelming. I'm just so grateful that I even went on a show,” she told Lorraine. “It is such a successful show. I didn't think I'd find the love of my life and ended up finding the perfect man, not just the perfect body, but just didn't realize, hey, when you leave the villa that you have no idea what's going on. I had no idea. I had this love and this support and I just want to be thankful to everyone. Even my haters, I love them as well. Even if there is that, I'm just over the moon. It's been really busy. Just all these projects lined up…It's just all surreal. I don't even know what to say. That's how excited and happy I am.”

2. She Says Her Relationship Was Real

“It was all real though in there,” she said to Lorraine. “It was. And that's why I was shocked when we won because we forgot it was a show at one point. We were like, if this relationship isn't working, I felt like walking at one point and I felt like if it's not going to work, I don't want anyone else. And he felt the same. And then when we were towards the final, we were like, wait, this is a show. What? There's a final, what's going on? And we were so grateful to even be fourth, third, whatever it was. Everyone we thought were winners. So yeah, I still can't believe that.”

3. Take a Deep Breath and Relax

She felt comfortable on screen because the cameras, “they're so hidden. These cameras, you don't know where they are. You can't pretend or act on there. If you were to act, it would happen for two days and your mask would fall off. Then you're yourself. And in Casa Moore, obviously there was a moment, I dunno, I'm going to say this. Medics came. I had a mini panic attack, I was thinking, oh no, what's Davide doing in Cass Amor? Is he with someone else? And the medics were like, it's fine. Just relax.” She took deep breaths.

4. She Really Was in Shock

When she won, she really was “shocked. When I say my heart, my heart was beating. It was coming out of my chest. I genuinely thought everyone's winners. I didn't really expect anything. And then when our names were called, I was like, is this a dream,” she said on Loose Women.

5. ”In Relationships, You Make Mistakes”

“In relationships, you got to make mistakes,” she said on Loose Women. “You got to know it's right. You have to have these tests, and in real life, whether you have a normal job day-to-day walking on the street, you have to trust your partner and there's going to be people who are going to try it on you. And I feel like Casa Amor was that big test and the fact that whether Davide came back alone or not, that was a test for him.”

Bianca Bustamante is revving up her engine in 2025 – in her workout gear. In a new social media post, the racecar driver reveals she is taking “the next major step” in her physical journey as a race driver “and I’ve set the target high!” she says in a new Instagram post, filled with video clips of herself lifting heavy weights at the gym. “Never been more motivated in my life, it’s not physically easy for a girl in this sport, but I’m super excited to take on this new challenge and the next big step on my racing journey,” she added. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top lifestyle tips.

Lifting Weights

Bianca spends hours at the gym where she focuses on strength training along with endurance, cardio, reaction time, and reflexes. “You know, to be a driver, it’s a complete package. It takes strength. It takes mental fortitude. It takes reflexes, smart thinking, and survival skills,” she told MEGA Active. “Sometimes it's for the body, sometimes it's for the mind. Nothing more peaceful than early sessions,” she captioned an Instagram post of one of her sessions.

Double Down On Training

In her recent post, Bianca reveals that she working extra hard at the gym. “I’ve been working hard over the years to build a solid foundation, but in 2025, I’ll be working with @j_w_90 and I’m doubling down on my training. Increasing to two workouts a day not just on lifts but aerobic endurance, as well as a better focus on nutrition and rest, in order to raise the bar to compete in the higher formulas,” she said.

Fueling Your Body With Protein

Bianca makes sure to eat enough protein in order to build more muscle and stay as lean as possible to meet the weight requirement. “It’s been a really cool journey seeing my body develop and transform into this whole different person I never knew I could become,” she said. In her new post she added that she is meal prepping. “I’m soooo all in that im even learning how to cook & meal prep better than ever before,” she writes.

Taking Cold Plunges

As for recovery, cold plunging is part of Bianca’s training regime. Limited research supports the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increasing focus, improving sleep, and decreasing inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes post-sport recovery.

Working On Self-Esteem

Positive self-talk is also important. “Of course, I put a lot of pressure on myself, but in the end, I always tell myself that as long as I give my best and I learn from it, any mistake I make is valid,” Bianca explained. “I always try to repeat that to myself that I am valid. I’m here for a reason and there’s nothing I would rather do than be here.”

Brenda Perlaza is flaunting her fantastic figure in a tiny bikini. In a new social media post the influencer, who calls herself La Barbie Negra, looks flawless as she poses on the beach in a neon yellow swimsuit. “#viral,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Wow Wow,” one of her followers commented, while several others added fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Jogging

Brenda enjoys jogging. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Walking Her Dog

She also takes her dog on long walks. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Dancing

You can also find Brenda dancing to burn calories. Dancing is an excellent workout for many reasons. It builds strength and promotes flexibility, helps you lose weight, and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop or die from heart disease than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues

Swimming

Brenda spends a lot of time in her swimsuit so it isn’t surprising she loves to swim. According to the CDC, swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, multiple studies support the mental health benefits of swimming.

Hydration

Finally, Brenda hydrates, especially after a long workout or sun exposure. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

She Supports Animals

Romani has her own charity, Help Miami Cats. She talked about how she started this in the caption of this Instagram post. “❤️ Guys!!!! I have always loved cats and had many growing up. When I moved to Miami Beach I met a great calico named Chacha and learnt that cats were brought to the city by Mayor Lummus … against rodents. Cats rely on volunteers for their food and water and there’s a huge amount of them. There’s a city program to Spay and neuter with the wonderful @sobecats ladies and the feeding is made official by a City Sanctioned badge, yet new cats keep getting dumped daily sadly and there’s a never ending amount of work, emergencies and so on. I was on a feeding rotation but during the pandemic I was left alone caring for so many as people left town or couldn’t afford feeding anymore …I decided to start my own non profit @helpmiamicats . We feed close to 200 and when Batman got paralyzed took him and other special needs cats under my care … @stevensachs69 with the cat room and the amazing people involved devote their lives to these special souls … My life has changed a lot too … way less spare time, way more sweat and tears and lost the person I had by my side who had sadly other priorities … yet gained so much love from these lovely creatures !!! If you can please get involved in any way … follow @helpmiamicats , share, volunteer, adopt … donate … Only together we can make their world a better place !!! And yes … just me feeding the kitties and talking to them … 🤷🏻♀️👀😆❤️🙌”
