Chicago Med is as much about workplace romances as it is about saving lives.
The medical drama — which is a part of Dick Wolf and NBC’s One Chicago universe — first premiered in 2015 as the third installment of the franchise, following Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. In addition to documenting the tense day-to-day operations of a major hospital, the show also dives into the personal lives of the city’s medical heroes.
Because working in the emergency department at Gaffney Chicago Medical Center is an all-consuming gig, many of the show’s characters have found their partners in the waiting room.
The first eight seasons of Chicago Med featured the dramatic ups and downs between Dr. Will Halstead (Nick Gehlfuss) and Dr. Natalie Manning (Torrey DeVitto), and everyone tuned in to watch ED nurse April Sexton (Yaya DaCosta) finally tie the knot with Dr. Ethan Choi (Brian Tee).
Off-screen, the actors who play these dramatic roles have enjoyed far more stable love lives. Gehlfuss has been married to his wife, Lilian Matsuda, since 2016, and DeVitto and Jared LaPine got hitched in 2024. Meanwhile, Tee and wife Mirelly Taylor welcomed their first child, Madelyn Skyler, in 2015.
Here’s everything to know about the real-life partners of the Chicago Med cast.

Cindy Crawford roasted over morning routine

Cindy Crawford’s morning rituals not for the faint-hearted.
The 60-year-old supermodel has stunned her followers by revealing her 2.5-hour routine, which includes a 6am wakeup before putting on her bible app and doing a dry brush within the first five minutes of getting out of bed.
Crawford – who gained popularity in the 1980s and 1990s for her modelling and acting career, as well as her workout videos – also uses a gua sha on her face with cleanser, which is supposed to help boost facial circulation.
At 6:45 a.m., she sits on a Bemer mat, intended to help with muscle recovery, with a Capillus red light hat on. She also uses a red light device for her face.
She will have a shot of apple cider vinegar at 7 a.m. and then walk through the grass “for grounding” to get to her jacuzzi.
She’ll then get dressed for a workout and then making a coffee with collagen in it. Crawford will then check emails before heading to the gym for a workout that includes jumping on the trampoline, stretching, hanging and pilates.
Several social media users were quick to comment on the video, with some saying they loved the routine and others suggesting it indicated wealth.
“But I would never understand why they have to wake up at 6 a.m. when they have nothing to do,” one said.
Another added: “This is exactly what I want Cindy Crawford’s morning routine to be.”
“I can’t imagine having a jacuzzi at the start of the day and before a workout. They chill me out and wipe me out,” someone else commented.
Another weighed in: “If I had nothing but money and time, I’d like to believe this is how I would also do my morning routine.”
“Been inspiring me since the 90. Thank you for sharing,” one said. ️
“You killed this content edition queen,” read another.
“Cindy, I’m too poor for this,” one joked.
Another chimed in: “There’s nothing like having money.”

I tried Scarlett Johansson’s new skincare
Dark spots and uneven skin tone? Don’t know her.
While celebrity-founded beauty brands can be hit or miss, the ones that take off tend to be really good. Case in point: Scarlett Johansson’s The Outset, which Page Six editors can’t stop raving about.
So, when the clean-beauty brand recently dropped a lightweight serum that promises to fade the telltale dark spots of my reckless, sunblock-adverse youth, I was among the first to slather.
What happened next was genuinely surprising. On days I went without makeup, people started saying to me — unsolicited — “Your skin is glowing!” (I don’t even hear that after getting a spa facial.)

The “Lost in Translation” star has exceptionally sensitive skin, which prompted her to set out to find — or create — skincare that would not cause a reaction. As a result, everything from her brand is extra gentle.
That includes the Total Clarity Dark Spot Serum, which is made with a sensitive skin-friendly vitamin C alternative, which, for me, has been even more effective than the C serums I’ve tried before.
The texture is very lightweight and fluid, almost like water. It’s applied after cleansing and toning, and before moisturizer. (One dropper’s-worth covers my entire face.)

But what else was even more astonishing was this: As a writer, I obviously spend a lot of time exposed to blue light from laptops and digital devices. It makes my skin lackluster and even ashen, at times.
(The National Institute of Health has even documented that blue light “accelerates the aging process and produces cutaneous hyperpigmentation,” i.e., uneven skin tone and spots.)
Total Clarity Dark Spot Serum uses natural ingredients like Wild Butterfly Ginger to protect against blue light — and it’s undoubtedly given me some glow back by protecting against those premature aging-inducing rays.
It also has Photosomes V (plankton-derived enzymes), which help brighten sun-damaged skin, and gentle, plant-based AHAs to get your skin cells to turn over. Plus, it even contains skin-soothing aloe vera.

Frankly, if I use it straight out of the shower, when my pores are more open, at times I get the teeniest bit of tingle. However, my skin is pretty sensitive, and it’s more like, “Ah, I feel you working your magic!” rather than any level of ouch.
Are my dark spots completely gone? No, there’s not a real miracle that doesn’t involve a time machine yelling at my younger self. Are they very much lightened, faded, and growing less visible by the day? Yeah, baby.
Give it a try, that ScarJo glow might hook you, too.

Kelly Clarkson reveals ‘lying’ ‘American Idol’ stiffed her on $1 million prize, new car

Kelly Clarkson accused “American Idol” of “lying” about the $1 million check that she was supposed to receive after becoming the singing competition’s very first winner.
The 43-year-old “Since U Been Gone” songstress made the bombshell claim during Tuesday’s episode of “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” where she was joined by “Harry Potter” actor Daniel Radcliffe and reality star Rob Rausch.
Clarkson brought up the topic while discussing Rausch’s $220,800 winnings from Season 4 of “The Traitors” — which he revealed he still hasn’t received.
“You know what, I relate to this!” Clarkson said. “I relate to this so hardcore. You probably weren’t alive when I was on ‘American Idol,’ but I was literally on the show.”
The “Breakaway” singer claimed the show’s promises didn’t match what she actually got.
“They were like, ‘Oh, you win a million dollars,’ or whatever,” Clarkson said. “No, you didn’t. They lied. It was like a million dollars’ worth of investment in you.”
Radcliffe looked stunned and cut in: “Wait, what?”
“Yes!” Clarkson insisted, adding that she also never received another major prize she thought she had won.
“They said you get a car,” she explained. “And I needed it because my car was bashed in, and I couldn’t afford the deductible. And then — no! I did not get a car.”
Clarkson then claimed that Clay Aiken, who finished runner-up on the show’s second season, did end up getting a car.
“Clay Aiken, who didn’t win the second season, got a car — and [so did] his mom!” she told the audience as the crowd erupted in disbelief.
“I was like, ‘What the f–k!’” Clarkson added, recalling a conversation with the singer at the time. “He’s like, ‘Yeah, they gave my mom one.’ I was like, ‘I’m gonna actually kick your ass right now.’”
Radcliffe joked that early winners of a show should receive upgraded prizes if the rewards improve later.
“There should be some system where if you win something on the first season of something, whatever the prize has become, you should retroactively get that,” he said.
Clarkson pushed back, insisting the rewards had already been promised at the time.
“No, it was supposed to be the prize then, OK? It was supposed to be the prize then!” she said.
She then jokingly warned Rausch he might also be waiting a while for his payout.
“That’s why I’m saying — you might not see it,” Clarkson quipped. “But, you know, I hope you got enough TV time.”
Clarkson famously won the inaugural season of “American Idol” in 2002, launching a chart-topping career with hits including “A Moment Like This,” “Behind These Hazel Eyes,” and “Because of You.”
In September, the singer reflected on the 23rd anniversary of her win, thanking fans who voted for her during the show’s early days.
“Winning ‘American Idol’ changed my life and I will be forever grateful for all of you that have supported me for so many years,” she wrote on social media.
She added, “It is a gift to find your purpose and passion, and to be able to make a living doing it is the cherry on top. Thank you, always.”
The candid comments come shortly after Clarkson announced she would be stepping away from her NBC daytime talk show after seven seasons to spend more time with her children, River, 11, and Remington, 9.
Her decision followed a difficult year after the death of her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, who died in August following a battle with cancer.
