Nearly two decades after audiences first witnessed the love story of Jack Twist and Ennis Del Mar — and cried their way through entire boxes of tissues as a result — their on-screen wives had an impromptu reunion!
Brokeback Mountain stars Anne Hathaway and Michelle Williams — who played the wives of Jack (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Ennis (Heath Ledger), respectively — sat side by side in the front row as Ralph Lauren unveiled its Fall 2025 Ready-to-Wear collection on Thursday, April 17.
A far cry from the Western looks of the 2005 drama, the actresses wore head-to-toe Ralph Lauren for the star-studded fashion show, which was held at the Jack Shainman Gallery in New York City.

Hathaway, 42, wore sequined, distressed jeans in a warm shade of khaki, which she teamed with a matching trench and a simple, scoop-neck white undershirt. She wore her hair in a sleek, high ponytail and accessorized with gold everything — save for a big pair of black sunglasses, which she ditched once heading inside the gallery.

Williams, 44, also went neutral — and opted for big outerwear — sporting a long, gray trenchcoat that hit at her ankles, which she wore closed and cinched at the waist. Underneath, a dress in a nearly identical shade poked through slightly, and the actress paired her all-gray attire with black pumps and a matching purse — plus her signature blonde bob, of course.
The stylish stars sat together in the front row of the gallery, where they were also joined by Naomi Watts, with whom Hathaway was seen chatting.

While Hathaway and Williams’ roles in Brokeback Mountain mark their only film collaboration, Hathaway later reunited with on-screen husband Gyllenhaal, 44, for 2010’s Love & Other Drugs.
Similarly, Williams and Ledger did not rekindle their on-screen chemistry, but they did famously take it off-screen. The actors fell in love on the set of the Ang Lee-directed movie, and welcomed their daughter Matilda Rose in October 2005, just before the movie hit theaters.
They later split up in September 2007, and Ledger died shortly after from an accidental drug overdose on Jan. 22, 2008.

The cast of Brokeback Mountain (who also included Kate Mara, Linda Cardellini, Randy Quaid and Anna Faris) have spoken fondly about the film over the years, though Williams recently admitted that after landing her first Oscar nod for the 2005 drama, she felt “a little bit frozen for a moment, creatively.” (The film was nominated for eight Oscars, including Williams’ nod for Best Supporting Actress, and won for three: Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Original Score.)
“It was really unnerving after that. Like, what do you do? What do you do next?” Williams recalled on Sunday Sitdown with Willie Geist in 2023. “I never really had attention on me before in that kind of a way, and I think that that attention can be sort of destabilizing.”

Country star Kane Brown suffers freak golf ball accident

Country star Kane Brown is thanking his lucky stars after he was hit by a golf ball at a high rate of speed — and lived to tell about it.
“Shot in the head by a golf ball,” he wrote via Instagram Stories on Tuesday, including a photo of his badly injured ear.
In another pic, the “Heaven” hitmaker shared pics of the split ear with stitches, writing atop the pic, “Just a scratch.”
Via TikTok, he shared a clip of himself in a vehicle with a view of his stitches, saying, “23 stitches later, and a slight concussion,” joking that he was now “at Chick-Fil-A” for a snack.
“They said it will prob get worse next 48 hours but I’m alive and that’s all that matters … holy crap,” he added atop the clip, adding, “Hurt 😢 asf but I’m alive that’s what matters” in the caption.
He broke down the entire incident in more graphic detail in another TikTok.
“Story time,” he began in the clip, in which blood stains could be seen on his collar, noting that he “got hit in the ear with a golf ball.”
“A lot of people, they think that the ball came over multiple fairways,” he continued. “No, this one, it was my own buddy.”
While Brown noted that he would not “name any names,” he also divulged that the friend “feels terrible.”
“But he needs to know that I’m good,” Brown explained, sharing that he “went to the hospital” and had “everything checked out.”
“I just had a split ear and some swelling,” he continued. “But if it would have been right here,” he said, tapping the side of his face and the back of his head, “I wouldn’t be here.”
“It was about a 150 to 180 mile an hour ball, a three-wood slice,” he recalled, noting that there was “just enough time” after the pal swung his golf club for him to turn his head before the moment of impact.
Brown insisted that his ear was “technically the best possible place” the golf ball could have hit him.
“I’m just glad I’m here,” Brown — who had to miss the Tight End University concert on Tuesday due to the injury — exclaimed.
“Yall be careful out there when playing golf,” Brown, 32, captioned the video on Wednesday.
Fans flooded to the comments thread to wish the singer — who shares three children with wife Katelyn Brown — well following the incident.
“Awwwww. Glad you’re doing ok Kane. Wifey and kids need you. And your fans!!!!!!! ❤️❤️” one person wrote, while another chimed in, “So glad you are ok. Angels watching over you ♥️”
A third chimed in, “Yikes that must hurt.. hope it heals quickly 🙏🏻”
Katelyn took to her own Instagram Stories on Wednesday, saying that the freak accident “could have been so much worse” and that they “were so relieved” that it had amounted to only “a minor concussion.”

Teddi Mellencamp gives rare update on what ‘cancer recovery looks like’ in tearful video

Teddi Mellencamp posted a vulnerable video revealing what her cancer recovery looks like.
“This is what recovery looks like. One day, I’m hopping around doing a million things, and then the next day, I am shaking so bad I can barely get up the stairs. My anxiety is a 10,” she tearfully shared on her Instagram Stories Wednesday.
The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum noted that she had to use both hands to hold her phone and record the video because her hands are “so shaky.”
“They added in a new medication on Monday and I guess it’s just hitting me really weird,” she explained.
“Tam, you’re gonna have a lot to work with today,” Mellencamp quipped, referring to her “Two Ts In A Pod” co-host, Tamra Judge. “Godspeed.”
The former Bravo star subsequently posted a screenshot listing the common side effects of her medication, which includes weight gain, headache, dizziness, common cold symptoms and akathisia (an inner sense of restlessness).
“Wow. This is a blast,” she sarcastically wrote atop the screengrab.
Her last health update came in April, when she bravely showcased her brain surgery scars and shared her hair growth following several rounds of radiation therapy.
“The hair is too long for the wigs and I’m sick of the wigs. But like, what are we supposed to do here?” she asked her social media followers, looking for new tips on hairstyles.
Mellencamp announced her Stage 2 melanoma diagnosis in October 2022.
She underwent more than a dozen surgeries to address the disease, including an emergency procedure in 2025 to remove several tumors in her brain.
Last October, she revealed her cancer — which had also spread to her lungs — was “gone.” However, she previously explained that it will take some time before doctors declare that she’s officially in remission.
Since receiving the positive update on her physical health, Mellencamp has been focused on recovering emotionally and mentally as well.
“I’ve been in therapy,” she told Page Six in February. “I’ve been working really hard trying to figure out, find that peace, find that happiness, find that joy, find myself again.”
The reality star — who shares three kids with estranged husband, Edwin Arroyave — also revealed in April that she is in a new relationship with an “older man.”
Though she didn’t divulge too many details on the mystery suitor, she did gush that he makes her laugh a lot on an episode of her podcast “Two Ts In A Pod.”

Clay Aiken says Kelly Ripa feud sparked ‘most catastrophic week’ of his life

Clay Aiken spoke out about the moment he contentiously placed his hand over Kelly Ripa’s mouth more than two decades after their intense on-air clash on “Live with Regis and Kelly” in 2006.
The “American Idol” alum, 47, recalled stepping in as a co-host on the daytime show and attempting to stop Ripa from talking so he could ask their guests questions.
When asked if they had spoken since, he responded on Wednesday’s podcast episode of “Hollywood Raw,” “No. I didn’t have the problem.”
Aiken, who has been active in the New York City Broadway scene and society, explained he’s seen Ripa, 55, at some events.
“Maybe I should feel bad that I have not gone up and said something myself, but she hasn’t either,” he said. “We’re talking about something that happened — 20 years ago — which became this huge blowup.”
“That was the most catastrophic week of my life,” the musician added. “No one would remember but me because I was the one with the scars.”
“I’m on the show because I wanted to show them I could handle this myself; I could host something and I wasn’t getting to talk,” he said.
“Like, there were cue cards. They had my name on them. So I tried to be funny, and I did what I did, which was incredibly innocent. And then it got a little cold in the room.”
Aiken admitted that he felt bad and was “worried” that he had upset Ripa after seeing the audience “frozen.”
“Is that a no-no?” Aiken asked Ripa at the time, to which she responded, “Oh, that’s a no, no, no. Don’t know where that hand’s been, honey.”
The TV personality shared on the podcast that he didn’t remember how he and Ripa parted ways, but it wasn’t until the following week, when the latter’s co-host, Regis Philbin, had returned, that the situation escalated.
At the time, Philbin, who died in 2020, and Ripa discussed Aiken’s “hostility.”
“There was a lack of respect, and when you’re a certain person, you’re in the public eye, you have to be respectful of other people,” Ripa told her co-host.
“And I don’t think that he was respectful in any way. If that upsets his fans, I’m sorry to hear that, but you don’t put your hands over somebody’s face and mouth when they’re conducting an interview, even if it’s for a laugh. And that’s all I’m gonna say.”
Then the following day, Rosie O’Donnell addressed the incident on “The View” and referred to Ripa as “homophobic” despite Aiken not having been out yet.
Ripa responded to the actress by calling into the talk show to defend herself, stating, “I have three kids. He’s shaking hands with everybody in the audience.”
“I mean, it’s cold and flu season. That’s what I meant. To imply that it’s anything homophobic is outrageous, Rosie, and you know better. You should be more responsible,” the TV personality told O’Donnell.
Recalling the “blow up,” Aiken said, “I was not out at the time. I was to Rosie … I was out to people who I knew, but I wasn’t publicly out about it.”
“I was not out to my grandparents and the people in my family. And not only does Rosie call it a homophobic remark — which I think she accidentally said, and then she tried to walk it back a little bit — but then Kelly calls in live to ‘The View’ that day and they get in an argument over it.”
The actor added, “Not only did she out me, but they had a big argument about whether I was gay and who talked about me being gay.”
That same week, Aiken reflected on how his “wonderful publicist” and interns did “great work” on finding videos of Ripa placing her hand over Philbin’s mouth throughout the years and sending the clips to the media.
“The tides sort of turned,” Aiken said, explaining that he then sent Ripa flowers, which she thanked him for and allegedly apologized for “blowing” the situation out of proportion.
Per Aiken, Ripa extended an olive branch to him and an offer to return to the show. However, the Broadway star alleged that he’s “tried” to appear on the show but has been unable to return.
A rep for Ripa wasn’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.
