NEED TO KNOW
- Michael Bublé will return to The Voice this fall
- This makes him one of the only artists in recent years to be a coach for more than two consecutive seasons
- “This is the best job I’ve ever had. Going to work every day is a joy, and I’m so thrilled to be back for Season 28,” Bublé tells PEOPLE exclusively
Michael Bublé is stepping into the role of coach for The Voice once again!
On Monday, May 12, NBC is announcing that the Canadian musician, 49, will be returning to the singing competition show this fall for his third season — making him one of the only artists in recent years to be a coach for more than two consecutive seasons.
“This is the best job I’ve ever had. Going to work every day is a joy, and I’m so thrilled to be back for Season 28,” Bublé tells PEOPLE exclusively. “I remember being just like these contestants. I know how badly they want it and how hard it is to get there. I’ve had my dream come true, and the fact that I get to be a part of helping someone else in their journey to do that same thing, there’s nothing better. It is really fulfilling.”
He continues, “There’s a reason why The Voice remains such a success after so many years, and it’s because it really is about the artists. The talent on this show is incredible, and it’s been such a beautiful experience to be a part of the process.”
Bublé began as a coach on The Voice season 26 in 2024 alongside Gwen Stefani, Reba McEntire and Snoop Dogg, and he previously served as an advisor before that. The first-ever contestant he coached, Sofronio Vasquez, took home grand place that year, making him the first Filipino singer to win the US version of The Voice.
After Bublé’s first-ever blind audition experience that year, the “Feeling Good” crooner told NBC that it wasn’t “what I’m best at.”
“It’s hard to advocate for yourself in that way. And when I did, I tried to do it with humor, to be self-deprecating and to hope that you could break down barriers that way,” he shared following the end of the season. “It would have been harder for me, I think in other seasons where there was a different energy, like more of an edge of Coaches kind of fighting each other. But I was trying to be genuine, to tell people that I might be able to help them, and use humor, again, just to break down those walls. Because my dad always said: If you’re good, you don’t have to tell people.”

The Grammy winner previously shared in September last year during an appearance on Today that he was approached to do the show over 15 times before he finally said yes.
Part of the reason he turned it down was because he didn’t want the pressure of judging other vocalists. “But thank God we’re not judges. The other shows have judges — we are coaches,” he said at the time.
“And the reason I say that is because most of the singers are better than me, and I have no place ever judging anyone,” he added. “So, to get to coach them and live the fantasy of having this career that I’ve had and then get to have the fulfillment of helping someone else get that? That’s the cool part.”

In February, Bublé joined the series for season 27 as a coach for the second time, alongside John Legend, Adam Levine, and Kelsea Ballerini. As of last week, Bublé still has two team members left as they advance to the next round of live shows — Jadyn Cree and Adam David.
Just last month, Bublé sung the praises of Cree, after she took the stage with her fellow Team Bublé contestant Braxton Garza and sang “Danny’s Song” for the battle round.
After the performance, each coach offered feedback for both contestants — and Bublé told her that her performance was “flawless.”
“Jadyn, I don’t think you know how great you are. You could win this show, for sure,” he told the contestant.
During a one-on-one interview after the decision, Bublé called Jadyn a “superstar.”

“Not only do I see Jadyn fitting in with the big pop stars of today, Olivia [Rodrigo], Billie Eilish, but she has that spark, that thing that we cannot articulate or explain,” he said. “Part of it is that I think she’s truly humble.”
Bublé tells PEOPLE, “I won last season, and I’m back to win it again next week. Let’s go for three in a row!”
The Voice airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on NBC.

Ioan Gruffudd claims ex-wife Alice Evans threatened to ‘Amber Heard’ him as dramatic trial kicks off

Ioan Gruffudd testified that his ex-wife, Alice Evans, threatened to destroy his career by making false, explosive accusations against him.
The “Fantastic Four” star’s trial against Evans kicked off Monday, in which he’s asking the court to renew the restraining order that he and his new wife, Bianca Wallace, had against Evans.
They claim Evans has stalked them and trashed them online.
In court, Gruffudd claimed his ex-wife threatened to destroy him and his career by “Amber Hearding” him, the Daily Mail reported. Gruffudd was referring to Johnny Depp suing Heard for $50 million for defaming him in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed about abuse, which he won.
The actor described one alleged incident in which he dropped off their kids — daughters Ella, 16, and Elsie, 12 —after a scheduled visit, and Evans loudly berated him and yelled obscenities “at the top of her lungs.”
“She said she was going to destroy me and she was going to ‘Amber Heard’ me,” he said in court, according to the outlet. “Then she said to the girls, ‘If daddy is ever weird or creepy with you in a physical way, please let me know.’”
“She accused me of being a child molester, a pedophile and a drug addict,” he also claimed. “She said I was out of my mind on sex and drugs and millennials.”
The actor, 52, said he was “disturbed” by the lengths Evans was willing to go to denigrate him.
Gruffudd claimed Evans, 57, told him, “You won’t be an actor, baby, you’ll just be begging for money.”
He shared, “I was anxious that she would use my public image to create a scandal bigger than Brad and Angelina. I found that to be incredibly threatening.”
Gruffudd claimed Evans’ threats extended to Wallace, 33, whom he married in April 2025, the Daily Mail also reported.
“She said she was going to create a false crime that Bianca perpetrated and she would be deported,’” he claimed, alleging she put a private detective on Wallace.
Reps for Gruffudd and Evans didn’t immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
The exes split in 2021, and their divorce was finalized in 2023. Back in October 2021, Evans accused him of having a three-year affair with Wallace, who was previously her friend, and he denied the allegation in court.
In February 2022, Gruffudd filed for a restraining order against Evans. In documents obtained by Page Six, he claimed that Evans “repeatedly told me between August 2020 and our separation on January 1, 2021 that if I left her, she would make false public accusations about me, sell false stories about me to the press, and destroy me and my career.”
He further alleged that Evans “told me verbally multiple times that she would do to me what Amber Heard did to Johnny Depp.”
He was granted a three-year restraining order against her in August 2022, but the drama continued. The exes’ oldest daughter, Ella, filed for a restraining order against both her father and Wallace in June 2023, though it was denied.
In July 2024, Evans pled with the Los Angeles Superior Court to order Gruffudd to pay her more child support and spousal support, alleging she was on the brink of going broke.
“While I am struggling to put food on the table for our children, Ioan is jet setting around the world,” she alleged in court docs obtained by Page Six.
“I have drained all of my personal savings paying my prior attorneys in this case and paying for my expenses,” she also claimed.

Kylie Jenner looks visibly uncomfortable at Alan Cumming’s cheeky joke at BAFTAs

Kylie Jenner was visibly uncomfortable when host Alan Cumming made a rather cheeky joke at the 2026 BAFTAs Sunday.
During the British Academy Film Awards at London’s Royal Festival Hall, Cumming weaved through the A-list audience to hand out “very British snacks.”
Upon coming up on Timothée Chalamet and Jenner, the “Traitors” host handed the actor British pub snack Scampi Fries while the makeup mogul was given a giant Jammie Dodger.
A Jammie Dodger is a popular British shortbread biscuit sandwich with a raspberry or strawberry-flavored jam filling and a heart-shaped cutout on top.
“Kylie, have you ever had your gums around a giant Jammie Dodger?” he asked her before offering her the snack.
Taken aback, she shook her head and said no before accepting the snack and muttering “thank you.”
Jenner, 28, and Chalamet, 30, kept their award show date night streak going when they pulled up to the BAFTAs in matching black ensembles.
The “Kardashians” star showed off her curves in a vintage black velvet Thierry Mugler gown embellished with colorful jewels at the bodice.
Meanwhile, the “Marty Supreme” actor kept things classy in a custom all-black outfit by Givenchy’s Sarah Burton that included a double-breasted tuxedo jacket, pleated trousers, a silk shirt and a bow tie.
Chalamet was nominated in the best leading actor category for his performance in “Marty Supreme.”
The film itself secured a whopping 11 nods this year, including for best film, best director, best original screenplay and best cinematography.
However, Chalamet — as well as the rest of the cast and crew — left completely empty-handed as “Marty Supreme” failed to win any accolades.
After keeping their romance under the radar since April 2023, Chalamet and Jenner have been stepping out during this year’s award season.
Most recently, Jenner accompanied Chalamet to the Critics’ Choice Awards on Jan. 4 and the Golden Globes on Jan. 11.
During both award shows, Chalamet won the award for best actor and thanked Jenner for her support and love.

Jennifer Lopez celebrates twins Emme and Max’s 18th birthday with sweet tribute

Jennifer Lopez shared an emotional tribute to her twins, Max and Emme, on their 18th birthday.
The singer and actress shared an intimate video montage of her twins over the years on Instagram Sunday. Set to One Direction’s “18,” the video featured special moments in their lives, including Emme’s surprise appearance during her mother’s Super Bowl LIV halftime show alongside Shakira in 2020.
Lopez, who shares Emme and Max with her ex-husband, Marc Anthony, recalled giving birth to her twins in the middle of the night during a snowstorm in New York City.
“It was as if God was making sure you would enter a world full of pure magic!!” she wrote. “In my heart, I knew that’s how your life would always be!!”
“When I would hold you as infants, I honestly felt as if I were holding two angels sent straight from heaven above,” she continued, “My life was changed forever.”
The “Hustlers” star fondly referred to her children as her “coconuts.”
“‘I love you’ could never encapsulate the depth of feeling, affection, and care that I have for you, my coconuts,” she wrote. “It has always been the three of us!! We have been on this journey together.”
“We have always had each other to hold on to and be that steady presence in the middle of any snowstorm,” she added. “And I promise you, my beautiful coconuts, no matter how big you get, that’s how it will always be.”
“Always remember, Lulu, you are my sunshine…and Max, you’re amazing just the way you are!! … Happy 18th Birthday, my wonder twins!!!”
Last October, the twins made a rare appearance at the New York City premiere of her film, “Kiss of the Spider Woman.”
Lopez, 56, beamed as she posed with them on the red carpet.
Emme rocked a red velvet suit jacket, black satin shirt and a pair of black pants, while Max wore a multi-colored jacket over a burgundy sweater and a pair of khaki slacks.
Later that month, Lopez revealed that Max and Emme once confronted her about not being present in their lives as she navigated being a single mom following her divorce from Anthony.
During her appearance on “The Howard Stern Show,” she revealed that the pivotal conversation happened during the COVID-19 pandemic, when she was able to “stay home” and be more present,
“They spoke to me, [and] they’re like, ‘You’re not a regular mom. You’re not here every day. You don’t drop us off and pick us up like the other [moms],’” she recalled, noting that her kids were around the age of 10 at the time.
“And I realized how much they needed me there,” she added.
