<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/jenna-lyons" rel="" target="_blank">Jenna Lyons</a> admits that more opportunities came her way after she was cast on season 14 of Bravo's <a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/the-real-housewives-of-new-york-city" rel="" target="_blank"><em>The Real Housewives of New York City</em></a> -- but she still had pause about returning to the series.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On Friday, it was confirmed that Lyons and all her season 14 castmates -- including&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/sai-de-silva">Sai De Silva</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/ubah-hassan">Ubah Hassan</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/erin-lichy">Erin Lichy</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/jessel-taank">Jessel Taank</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/brynn-whitfield">Brynn Whitfield</a>&nbsp;-- are in for season 15.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, ultimately the former J. Crew beauty executive had some non-negotiable demands that needed to be met before she agreed to come back.</p>

<p>Rumors <a href="https://www.etonline.com/jenna-lyons-explains-why-she-skipped-bravocon-2023-with-rhony-cast-exclusive-214357" rel="" target="_blank">started swirling as to whether Lyons</a> would be returning to <em>RHONY</em> after she skipped out on BravoCon 2023. ET asked her about missing the event, and she simply said she "had some things to do."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-caption="Jenna Lyon at Frame Spring 2024 Campaign Celebration Dinner with Gisele Bündchen during New York Fashion Week at Indochine on Feb. 12, 2024 in New York City." data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="87230814-fc4e-4646-a181-8585246b8319" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>"I had an event and I had some other things that I had to do that were personal," she shared in November, just after BravoCon.&nbsp; "...It didn't work out."</p>

<p>In a new interview with <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/28/style/jenna-lyons-real-housewives-of-new-york-city-second-season.html" rel="" target="_blank"><em>The New York Times</em></a>, Lyons says that Bravo was "very amenable" when it came to her requests.&nbsp;</p>

<p>One big condition involved Lyons' romantic life. "I have a relationship, but I would like to not name her. I want to keep her out of the press," she says of what's off limits on the show. "That is my commitment to her. It's off the table. I joined this process. She did not."</p>

<p>The 55-year-old style-savvy star also says that she wanted to make sure she would have time for her new romance while filming the show. "There was some concern about my ability, just time-wise, to commit to it, and that was a big deal," she explains. "I also have a new relationship and wanted to maintain privacy. It was not just me. We all had to figure out, like, Can this work? I wasn't sure. Definitely not sure."</p>

<p>When it comes to rumors that she's engaged, Lyons plays coy about the ring she's been wearing on&nbsp;<em>that </em>finger. "This is a very serious answer," she quips. "She kept telling me, 'Jenna, your shirt is buttoned down too low.' And I was like, 'If you want me to button my shirt, you have to put a ring on my finger.'"</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-caption="Jenna Lyons at the Maria Cornejo x Roman + Williams Dinner held at La Mercerie on Feb. 8, 2024 in New York, New York." data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="5dd21432-3cd8-498f-a4f0-0a217078b7d7" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>On top of her romantic life, Lyons is protective of her son,&nbsp;Beckett Mazeau, and how much he is featured on the reality series. "There was a lot of filming in the home, and it was just exhausting. It's so disruptive," she shares. "They were very open to reducing that exposure and not having so much 'home time.' My son is prepping for college. It's a very intense time."</p>

<p>One big reason she did decide to come back for another season were the <em>RHONY</em> fans.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I did pay attention to my comments. What I was shocked by, and one of the reasons I did feel comfortable going back, is people were so nice," Lyons says. "I thought I would take heat for some things, here and there, and I didn't at all. Particularly in the beginning, I would scan through the comments, like, Let's just see if anybody's coming at me. All the things that I was afraid of didn't really happen."</p>

<p><em>RHONY</em> also helped her career. <em>The Times</em> notes that Lyons' Instagram following quadrupled and her beauty business, LoveSeen, flourished. "It was shocking to see the results," she admits, noting that before the show, her false eyelash company was "struggling in places where people didn’t know who I was."</p>

<p>And Lyons isn't shy about saying that she's returning to <em>RHONY</em> "for my business."&nbsp;As for whether she's getting paid more for season 15, Lyons confesses, "Everyone gets paid more, and that I'm not going to talk about too much."</p>

<p>That being said, Lyons is happy with how her presence on the show is reaching women who watch. "But I will say, what is consistently surprising to me, and such a tender moment, is the number of people that either DM or come up to me on the street and are like, 'It's amazing to see an openly gay woman on national television being themselves,'" she notes. "I know that seems trite. It's not the reason I'm doing it, and I wouldn't lie to you and say that it is. I don't think I'm here to be the spokesperson. That has been a really nice side effect of the show."</p>

Jenna Lyons Had One Big Condition Before Returning for 'Real Housewives of New York City' Season 15

<p>Despite having a thriving career as an acclaimed actress, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/christina-ricci" rel="" target="_blank">Christina Ricci</a> admits that she has faced financial hardship and negative feelings about her appearance over the years.</p>

<p>On the latest episode of the&nbsp;<a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/7to9J2tlUqsZ7bsAO8WFp3" rel="" target="_blank"><em>Let's Be Clear With Shannen Doherty</em></a> podcast, the 44-year-old actress shares what it's been like having to support her family over the years. The <em>Yellowjackets</em> star shares 15-month-old daughter Cleo with husband&nbsp;Mark Hampton, and is also mom to 8-year-old son Freddie, whom she parents with ex-husband James Heerdegen.</p>

<p>"I've gone through periods as an adult where we were really, really broke," Ricci tells host <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/shannen-doherty" rel="" target="_blank">Shannen Doherty</a>. "You just have that thing of, 'I don't ever want to feel this way ever again.' It's like this visceral feeling. I don't ever want to feel this helpless, because I think that's what not having a lot of money makes you feel like. You feel very helpless."&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a 2022 interview with <em>Sunday Times Style</em>, Ricci said that she sold some of her Chanel handbags and parts of her jewelry collection to help fund her 2020 divorce from Heerdegen. She told the publication that "certain traumas in life go along with financial traumas, extended court situations, custody situations [and] fighting restraining orders."</p>

<p>In her recent interview with Doherty, the&nbsp;<em>Wednesday</em> actress notes, "There's a ton of that pressure and it's hard. You have to work to support your family but at the same time you working takes away time from your family. So yeah, it's difficult but I'm in a really good place now. Again, I have a really supportive husband."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-caption="Christina Ricci" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="750949e5-9c5d-44de-a1f9-f1d888ff7f14" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>When the conversation moves to how social media can affect a person's self-esteem, Ricci confides that it "can just put you in a really vulnerable position."</p>

<p>"You do hear the negative stuff the loudest, and it's tough," she shares. "I have experience with a person who his whole thing is just posting horrible, nasty things about me. It's like all stuff that's made up -- horrible things about my children, my family. So I've just really had to ignore it. It's that school ground mentality... but on such a huge level and such a public platform."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-caption="Christina Ricci attends &amp;#039;Yellowjackets&amp;#039; season 2 Emmy FYC event at Hollywood Athletic Club on May 20, 2023 in Hollywood, California." data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="29f20e61-c583-403b-8714-ddb002b30618" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>Ricci also speaks to how she became insecure about her looks while doing press for her Showtime series, <em>Yellowjackets</em>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"When I started doing press for<em> Yellowjackets </em>and having to post on social media images of myself, just even as somebody over 40, I had a really hard time," she admits. "I had a really hard time seeing these images. I had a really hard time reposting them. I really couldn't reconcile caring about what I looked like so much. ...It was so hard for me."</p>

<p>Ricci adds, "But we have to find ways to navigate it where it doesn't emotionally drag us down."</p>

M. Emmet Walsh, 'Blade Runner' and 'Knives Out' Actor, Dead at 88

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/bill-murray" rel="" target="_blank">Bill Murray</a> has three people in mind to portray him in the highly anticipated <em>SNL 1975</em> film, which has already started filming in New York City.</p>

<p>Directed by&nbsp;Jason Reitman, the movie is about the moments that led up to the first episode of <em>Saturday Night Live</em> on Oct. 11, 1975.</p>

<p>That year, Murray was made a cast member of ABC's variety show <em>Saturday Night Live With Howard Cosell</em>. That same season, NBC premiered a variety show of their own called&nbsp;<em>Saturday Night</em>. Cosell's show only lasted one season, and was canceled in early 1976. Murray went on to be cast on NBC's variety show, whose name was switched to <em>Saturday Night Live</em>&nbsp;in 1977 and worked there until 1980.</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="2c12dc44-59f0-4ed4-af1b-ba8ef0091eb5" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>At Thursday's premiere of <em>Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire </em>at AMC Lincoln Square Theater in New York City, the 73-year-old actor shared with ET's Rachel Smith who he'd like to portray him in <em>SNL 1975</em>. "Out of all the people that came after me [on <em>SNL</em>], I think I really enjoyed Kenan Thompson. He could play me -- or Bill Hader. Those two."</p>

<p>Murray added, "Or Kristen Wiig. Any of those three could play me."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="node" data-ctd-entity-uuid="a39ecfed-40ae-44e2-b835-63ec82cb49c6" data-ctd-shortcode-id="video" data-ctd-view-mode="related_left"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>Meanwhile, at the premiere of&nbsp;Apple TV+'s <em>Palm Royale</em>&nbsp;at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, California, on Thursday, Wiig reacted to Murray suggesting she should portray him.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"That's what he said?" the 50-year-old actress -- who was a cast member on <em>SNL </em>from&nbsp;2005 to 2012 -- asked ET's Denny Directo, before replying, "Gladly, gladly, yes. I'm ready."&nbsp;</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="a5c08104-f36e-49a3-83b5-43a0b1196696" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>Wiig would be joining an all-star cast if she were to take on the role of Murray in <em>SNL 1975</em>.&nbsp; To name a few,&nbsp;Nicholas Podany will play Billy Crystal,&nbsp;Gabriel LaBelle will portray Lorne Michaels,&nbsp;Cory Michael Smith will be Chevy Chase,&nbsp;Dylan O'Brien takes on the role of Dan Aykroyd, and&nbsp;Matt Wood will play John Belushi.</p>

<p>No release date is set for <em>SNL 1975</em>, but fans can catch Murray in <em>Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire</em> when it hits theaters on March 22. And Wiig's show,&nbsp;<em>Palm Royale,</em> premieres on Apple TV+ on March 20.</p>

Bill Murray Says He Wants Kristen Wiig to Play Him in 'SNL 1975' -- See Her Reaction (Exclusive)

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/lucien-laviscount" rel="" target="_blank">Lucien Laviscount</a> is thrilled that his <em>Emily in Paris</em> co-star, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/ashley-park" target="_blank">Ashley Park</a>, is doing "really, really well" after her recent health scare.</p>

<p>In January, the 32-year-old actress shared with fans <a href="https://www.etonline.com/emily-in-paris-star-ashley-park-hospitalized-in-icu-after-tonsillitis-spiraled-into-critical-septic" rel="" target="_blank">that she was hospitalized</a>&nbsp;after suffering septic shock that affected multiple organs.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"That woman that right there is a true, true fighter in everything that she does," Laviscount gushed over his co-star while talking to ET's Cassie DiLaura at the 32nd Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards viewing party at The City of West Hollywood Park on Sunday. "To have her back glowing and shining, being as crazy as ever, that's the real win for the year."</p>

<p>Laviscount shared that the <em>Emily in Paris</em> cast and crew are as close as fans would think. "We're kind of chosen family. ...We hang out and we kick it. Just have to have Ashley back, she's back stronger than ever."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="3dc2019d-a555-42a2-887f-29eb42fc4e70" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>As for season 4 of the stylish Netflix series, the 31-year-old British actor -- who plays Alfie, a love interest to Lily Collins' Emily Cooper -- told ET that they're halfway done with the episodes.</p>

<p>"We're picking up straight after the bombshell is dropped in season 3," Laviscount teased. "And this season, there's a bit more traveling involved."</p>

<p>Not giving too much away, he added, "We're going for it in season 4. There are a few surprises this season for sure."</p>

<p>As for Park, she has thanked her <em>Emily in Paris</em> family for their support amid her health struggles, specifically Collins and her boyfriend and co-star, Paul Forman.</p>

<p>In her post revealing her hospitalization in January, Park said of Forman, "Grateful most of all to @peforman for being unconditionally by my side through all this. You calmed my fears and held me through ambulances, three foreign hospitals, a week in the ICU, scary ERs, countless scans and tests and injections, excruciating pain, and so much confusion all while we were alone on the other side of the world far from those we know," she wrote. "I love you Paul. More than I can ever say."</p>

<p>She later posted a pic with Collins along with a kind message to her co-stars. "I’m sorry for the delay in responses, just wanted to update that I was medically cleared to fly after responding to treatments, and am now recovering and resting in Paris where I was greeted with this incredible warm welcome from loved ones and my&nbsp;<em>Emily in Paris</em>&nbsp;fam. thank you to&nbsp;@netflix&nbsp;and&nbsp;@emilyinparis&nbsp;for their genuine kindness and gracious patience as I wait to be medically cleared to work… I couldn’t be more excited to join then all on set for Season 4 ❤️," Park wrote.&nbsp;</p>

Lucien Laviscount Calls 'Emily in Paris' Co-Star Ashley Park a 'True Fighter' After Health Battle (Exclusive)

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/davine-joy-randolph" rel="" target="_blank">Da'Vine Joy Randolph</a> is an Oscar winner! At the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/awards/oscars" rel="" target="_blank">96th annual Academy Awards</a>&nbsp;on Sunday, the 37-year-old actress, who stunned in a custom&nbsp;Louis Vuitton gown and blonde locks done by celebrity hairstylist Tai Simon with Joico products,&nbsp;nabbed her first Academy Award (and the first accolade of the evening)&nbsp;for her critically acclaimed performance as&nbsp;Mary Lamb in&nbsp;<em><a href="https://www.etonline.com/movies/the-holdovers" rel="" target="_blank">The Holdovers</a>.&nbsp;</em></p>

<p>Lupita Nyong'o praised Randolph onstage ahead of her big win, which brought the actress, who used Facegym tools to prep her skin for the evening, to tears.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"God is so good, God is go good," Randolph began her tearful acceptance speech, praising her mother for encouraging her to act when she initially just wanted to sing. "...For so long I've always wanted to be different. And now I realize, I just need to be myself. And I thank you, I thank you for seeing me."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="ed652344-0b6a-4206-bbe3-50cb596a3294" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>Randolph went on to thank a number of people in her life, including an acting teacher who she says inspired her to keep going. Breaking down in tears, she said of her teacher, "When I was the only Black girl in that class, when you saw me and you told me I was enough. When I told you, 'I don't see myself,' you said, 'That's fine. We're going to forge our own path. You're going to lay a trail for yourself.'"</p>

<p>She added, "I am so grateful to all the women who have been by my side."</p>

<p>Randolph noted that fans have not seen the last of her. "I pray to God that I get to do this more than once. I thank you for seeing me."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://twitter.com/etnow/status/1766969664419070242">&nbsp;</div>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="9b17e9e7-7b15-4500-87ad-ebaadb4f0443" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>Randolph's performance as the Barton Academy kitchen manager grieving the loss of her son in the Vietnam War while cooped up for the holidays with Paul Giamatti's cranky professor and Dominic Sessa's petulant student has earned her a bountiful award season. The&nbsp;Yale School of Drama alumna has also won a Golden Globe, Critics' Choice Award, BAFTA, and SAG Award for her performance, as well as&nbsp;prestigious trophies from both the New York Film Critics Circle and Los Angeles Film Critics Association.</p>

<p>Randolph's win makes her the 10th Black woman to win an Academy Award for acting, following in the footsteps of other greats such as Viola Davis, Whoopi Goldberg and Lupita Nyong'o.</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="68824772-9d46-4652-bbfa-25b3af1f5f1f" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>While Randolph's performance in <i>The Holdovers</i>&nbsp;has made her a household name, the&nbsp;British American Drama Academy graduate has been an undeniable star since&nbsp;her breakout in 2019's <em>Dolemite Is My Name</em>, where she stole scenes opposite Eddie Murphy.</p>

<p>But the role of Mary Lamb is significant for the Tony nominee.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Reading the script, I understood that she was the aching heartbeat of this movie, and I knew that if I did this, I was going to have to be fearless," Randolph previously told <i>The <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/07/movies/davine-joy-randolph-awards.html" rel="" target="_blank">New York Times</a></i>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I think this is probably the most naked or vulnerable I've ever shown to anyone, and it is out there forever," she added "But when I would get trepidatious, I would bolster myself and say we have to, because people are going to feel seen and be able to heal."</p>

Da'Vine Joy Randolph Tearfully Accepts Best Supporting Actress Award at 2024 Oscars

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/vanessa-hudgens" rel="" target="_blank">Vanessa Hudgens</a> is going to be a mom! The <em>High School Musical</em> alum is expecting her first child with Colorado Rockies&nbsp;player <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/cole-tucker" rel="" target="_blank">Cole Tucker</a>.</p>

<p>Hudgens' baby bump made its debut on Sunday on the <a data-sk="tooltip_parent" data-stringify-link="https://www.etonline.com/awards/oscars" delay="150" href="https://www.etonline.com/awards/oscars" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">2024 Academy Awards</a> red carpet. The actress, 35, stunned in glam done by celebrity makeup artist Tonya Brewer with Colourpop Cosmetics products as she showed off her special guest in a custom floor-length black gown by Vera Wang and kicked off ABC's <em>Countdown to Oscars: On the Red Carpet Live!,&nbsp;</em>which she is hosting alongside close friend Julianne Hough.</p>

<p>The baby news comes months after Hudgens and Tucker, 27, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/inside-vanessa-hudgens-and-cole-tuckers-wedding-in-the-mayan-jungle-216069" target="_blank">tied the knot</a>&nbsp;at Azulik City of Arts&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/vanessa-hudgens-marries-cole-tucker-in-mexico-213782" rel="" target="_blank">in Tulum, Mexico</a>, on Dec. 2, 2023. The couple was married in front of 100 of their closest friends and family, and wrote their own vows.&nbsp;The ceremony was officiated by Jay Setty -- who hosted the Zoom meditation session where Hudgens and Tucker met in 2020.</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="fd6a22bc-e1dd-437e-bb9a-a3b6a88f0a79" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>Next to the bride was her sister, Stella Hudgens, friends Sarah Hyland,&nbsp;Alexandra Shipp,&nbsp;Hailey Lavelle, Morgan Marcell and&nbsp;Laura New. Tucker's party included his brothers, as well as fellow MLB stars Scott Kingery, Mitch Keller and&nbsp;Cody Bellinger.&nbsp;</p>

<p>And while she's currently expecting, Hudgens had to <a href="https://www.etonline.com/vanessa-hudgens-shuts-down-pregnancy-speculation-amid-cole-tucker-engagement-213561" rel="" target="_blank">shut down pregnancy speculation</a> just months before her wedding.&nbsp;</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="8b709ab4-f070-4505-a550-e1be32ef1031" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>When the actress posted a video recap of her "iconic" bachelorette weekend in Aspen, Colorado, in October 2023, social media users started to question if she and Tucker were expecting.</p>

<p>"Why does she look pregnant to me or like she's trying to hide a bump," one person wrote, with another pondering, "Are we pregnant?" A third insisted, "Pregnant for sure."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="dfa94512-7cef-4b8c-b850-8f6f301aab9f" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>Hudgens responded to the first comment with an eyeroll emoji, writing, "Not pregnant so y'all can stop."</p>

<p>But a baby is on the way now, and no doubt Hudgens is thrilled. When ET spoke with the <em>Princess Switch</em> star in April 2023, she reflected on all of the things she's manifested in her life, including her love story with Tucker.</p>

<p>"My relationship, my home, my career," she shared. "There's so much. As long as you're really specific, might not always come when you expect it or want it, but it's always gonna come back in some way."</p>

Vanessa Hudgens Is Pregnant, Debuts Baby Bump at 2024 Oscars

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/dakota-johnson" target="_blank">Dakota Johnson</a> and <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/chris-martin" target="_blank">Chris Martin</a>&nbsp;have been secretly engaged for several years, according to multiple reports.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A source close to the couple tells <a href="https://people.com/chris-martin-and-dakota-johnson-engaged-yeras-ago-says-source-8605805" rel="" target="_blank"><em>People</em></a> that they "got engaged years ago but were in no rush to get married." In 2020, Johnson sparked engagement speculation when she was spotted wearing an emerald ring on <em>that</em> finger. Years later, a source confirms to the magazine that the accessory is, in fact, her engagement ring.</p>

<p>ET has reached out to both the 34-year-old actress and the 47-year-old musician's reps for comment.</p>

<p>News of their engagement comes nearly a decade after the Coldplay&nbsp;frontman and <em>Fifty Shades of Grey</em>&nbsp;star were first confirmed to be dating back in December 2017. At the time, a source told ET the two had been seeing each other for at least two months.&nbsp;</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-caption="Dakota Johnson wearing ring in 2020." data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="a481a9a9-7976-43e2-9734-eed212f376f6" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>"They've been dating since early October and spend most nights hanging out at his house and laying low," the source shared at the time. "His friends already love her and see how happy she makes him." The following January, they were <a href="https://www.etonline.com/dakota-johnson-and-chris-martin-enjoy-malibu-date-night-see-the-pic-94290" rel="" target="_blank">photographed out together for the first time</a>, confirming the romance rumors.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While they've remained a couple ever since,&nbsp;Johnson and Martin have mostly kept their romance out of the spotlight and rarely hit the red carpet together. Privacy seemed to be a priority for the actress from the start as Johnson made it very clear during a 2018 interview with <em>Tatler</em> that <a href="https://www.etonline.com/dakota-johnson-plays-coy-about-chris-martin-but-admits-shes-very-happy-110431" target="_blank">she was not going to talk about their relationship</a>, but noted that she was "very happy."</p>

<p>The two did step out together for a good cause in September 2019 when <a href="https://www.etonline.com/dakota-johnson-and-chris-martin-are-all-smiles-during-rare-public-outing-133388" target="_blank">they made a&nbsp;rare appearance</a> at&nbsp;Forest Whitaker's Whitaker Peace and Development Initiative's&nbsp;Place for Peace&nbsp;event in New York City. The month prior, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/gwyneth-paltrow-and-hubby-brad-falchuk-enjoy-beach-day-with-chris-martin-and-dakota-johnson-pic" target="_blank">the duo vacationed in the Hamptons</a>&nbsp;with the Coldplay singer's&nbsp;ex-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, and her husband, Brad Falchuk. Martin and Paltrow split in 2014 and share 19-year-old daughter Apple and 17-year-old son Moses.</p>

<p>"I love her," Paltrow said about Johnson&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/gwyneth-paltrow-explains-her-love-for-ex-chris-martins-girlfriend-dakota-johnson-138985" rel="" tabindex="-1" target="_blank">in a 2020 interview with&nbsp;<em>Harper's Bazaar</em></a>. "I can see how it would seem weird because it's sort of unconventional. But I think, in this case, just having passed through it iteratively, I just adore her."</p>

<p>Someone in Johnson's circle, dad Don Johnson, returned the praise for Martin during an appearance on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OFBol5RGws" rel="" tabindex="-1" target="_blank"><em>Good Day New York</em></a>. "He's a lovely guy," the <em>Miami Vice</em>&nbsp;alum said of his daughter's other half.&nbsp;"...And if she decides to get married, I would imagine that there would be grandchildren not too far after that. I'd be pretty excited about that part."</p>

<p><meta charset="UTF-8" /></p>

<p>Johnson more recently addressed the topic of children, telling&nbsp;<em>Bustle </em>that she<a href="https://www.etonline.com/dakota-johnson-says-she-loves-boyfriend-chris-martins-kids-like-my-life-depends-on-it-220962" rel="" target="_blank"> loves Martin's kids "like my life depends on it."</a></p>

<p>As for having more, Johnson confirmed she was not opposed to the idea. "I'm so open to that. I've gotten to this place where I really want to experience everything that life has to offer," she told<i> </i>the website. "And especially being a woman, I'm like,&nbsp;What a magical f**king thing to do. What a crazy, magical, wild experience.&nbsp;If that’s meant to happen for me, I'm totally down for it."</p>

Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin Have Been Secretly Engaged for Several Years

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/natalie-portman" rel="" target="_blank">Natalie Portman</a>&nbsp;and <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/benjamin-millepied" rel="" target="_blank">Benjamin Millepied</a>'s marriage is officially over after nearly 12 years of marriage.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A rep for Portman confirms to ET that the couple finalized their divorce last month in France where she and 46-year-old Millepied reside with their two children: 12-year-old son Aleph and 7-year-old daughter Amalia..</p>

<p>According to <a href="https://people.com/natalie-portman-benjamin-millepied-finalize-divorce-exclusive-7503117" rel="" target="_blank"><em>People</em></a>, the 42-year-old actress filed for divorce in July 2023.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Oscar winner recently addressed&nbsp;her marriage to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/benjamin-millepied" rel="" target="_blank">Millepied</a>, a professional dancer,&nbsp;in&nbsp;<em>Vanity Fair</em>'s 30th annual Hollywood issue.</p>

<p>The couple, who tied the knot in 2012, became the focus of rumors last summer when <a href="https://www.etonline.com/natalie-portman-and-benjamin-millepied-still-together-after-his-alleged-affair-reports-205774" rel="" target="_blank">Millepied was accused of having an affair</a> with a 25-year-old woman. Shortly thereafter, Portman <a href="https://www.etonline.com/natalie-portman-spotted-without-wedding-ring-on-11th-anniversary-209280" rel="" target="_blank">was spotted</a> without her wedding ring.</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="a3e2b214-1e9f-4282-b962-be72d3516f5c" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>As for how the actress felt about all the chatter regarding her relationship, the&nbsp;<em>May December&nbsp;</em>star said, "It's terrible, and I have no desire to contribute to it."</p>

<p>Separating her public and private lives is something Portman has been dealing with her entire career, which began when she was just a child.</p>

<p>"I got very protective of it very early on," she told <em>VF</em> of protecting her private life. "I chose a different name when I started, which was kind of an interesting way that I separated identities. I would get upset if someone at school called me Natalie Portman. I was like, 'If you know me, you know me as Natalie Hershlag at school.' It was kind of an extreme bifurcation of identity that I've tried to integrate a little bit more as an adult."</p>

<p>"I felt like it was not accepting that both were part of me, that there wasn't a 'real' me and a 'pretend' me, and that they didn't necessarily have different names," Portman continued. "And it's not just two different versions, there are multitudes of ways other people see me, both public and private, and there are multitudes of ways I see myself."</p>

<p>She added, "Somehow the intersection of all of those are part of me, and it's important to have all of those within me and as me, as opposed to being like, that's some external thing, this is the real thing. As I started having kids and a family, I started realizing that maybe it was not helpful to be like, there's two of me. I have many interactions during my day as a public person. To exclude that from my experience is not real."</p>
