Country Music Star Levi Hummon Is in ‘Wedding Mode’

Levi Hummon is just months away from his wedding day — and he’s feeling inspired to write some new music!
The country star, 33, revealed on the latest episode of Diving In Deep with Sara Evans that he’s in “wedding mode” as he approaches his big day with fiancée Kearsten Kochan.
“I’m getting married in 123 days. June 14,” he said at the time of his podcast interview, which released on Wednesday, March 6. The wedding date also happens to be the wedding anniversary of host and fellow singer-songwriter Sara Evans, who tied the knot with Jay Barker on the same day in 2008.
While he kept most wedding details under wraps, Hummon did note that it will be a destination wedding.
“We’re having a destination wedding with like, close friends and family, but we’re going down to Key Largo and just, yeah, it’s gonna be amazing,” Hummon said. “I’m honestly, like, the healthiest, happiest version of myself I’ve ever been and it’s all because of this woman in my life. And I think of her and it just, like, honestly [makes me] a little bit emotional because she’s just that level of amazing.”
When asked about his plans to release music in 2025, the “Paying For It” singer shared that after last year’s Bet On Me EP, he has “four songs in my back pocket,” including one he wrote alongside Walker Hayes. His mind is still just as focused on his personal life.
“I’m getting married in June so that’s a huge priority for me in terms of my life. I’m definitely in wedding mode,” Hummon said. “But I think toward summer, early fall, we’ll be looking toward some awesome [new music].”
Hummon shared that he’s “writing right now,” with his love-life update set to certainly play a role.
“I’m inspired. No more breakup songs,” he joked.

The country musician proposed to his fiancée back in May, when he shared a carousel post filled with heartwarming snaps from their Nashville engagement to Instagram. Since then, he opened up to PEOPLE in October about the big decision, calling Kochan his “rock” and revealing he “can’t really even describe just how happy I am.”
“I don’t know what I was waiting for,” Hummon admitted. “My brother ended up getting married in March of this year, and I wanted to let him be the star. It was just a couple of weeks after that that I popped the question. And it’s been amazing.”

Hummon, who in 2023 signed a deal with Jonas Entertainment Group’s Red Van Records, added that Kochan — a dermatology medical assistant — has left a major impact on his professional life, as well. Speaking with PEOPLE, he called her “the person that’s allowed me to be in this new mindset with my music,” adding that her belief in him “allowed me to take the risk of not being an independent artist anymore.”
“The whole new batch of songs that I’m about to be putting out is all love songs and happy songs instead of happy breakup songs,” Hummon said. “I’ve always been chasing, trying to find somebody who loves me as much as I can love them.”
The country star also previously revealed that he and Kochan are planning to say “I do” at Key Largo Lighthouse Beach in Key Largo, Florida, with his mother Becca Stevens officiating. “We’re doing a beachside wedding. I’m just a beachy guy and she just said she’d marry me anywhere, so it was an easy decision,” he said.
Hummon’s forthcoming material, which he teased for later in the year, will arrive not long after his latest six-track EP that featured contributions from Sam Tinnesz (“Rock Bottom”) and Hayes (“Paying For It”).

Margot Robbie flaunts fit physique during Australian beach outing

Margot Robbie spent some fun in the sun with her husband, Tom Ackerley, after giving birth to their first child.
The “Barbie” star showcased her fit physique while taking a dip in the ocean in Queensland, Australia, alongside a friend on Saturday.
Robbie wore a gray high-waisted bikini, accessorizing with a gold “mama” necklace.
Ackerley, meanwhile, soaked up the sun in blue swim trunks.
At one point, Ackerley was photographed tenderly touching the 34-year-old actress as he lounged on a beach chair.
Later in the day, the couple stepped out for a stroll along the shore with their newborn, per photos obtained by the Daily Mail.
Robbie and Ackerley, 43, met in 2013 and tied the knot three years later.
In July 2024, news broke that the “Wolf of Wall Street” star was pregnant when she was seen showing off her baby bump while vacationing in Italy.
The new mother didn’t shy away from displaying her growing belly while at the Wimbledon tennis tournament later that month.
That September, Robbie also gave a brief glimpse of her bump when she was photographed with Ackerley, Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper on a yacht in Palmarola, Italy.
While the “Suicide Squad” star attempted to stay out of the spotlight throughout her pregnancy, she made a rare red carpet appearance in Los Angeles for her husband’s project “My Old Ass.”
Robbie gave birth in October 2024, reportedly ahead of her due date.
At the time, an insider told the Daily Mail that the family of three was doing well and relatives planned to visit to celebrate the birth.
Robbie stepped out with the newborn for the first time in November, while taking an afternoon walk with Ackerley.
At the time, she was seen talking on the phone while her husband pushed the stroller.

Christina Ricci on How She Learned to Care Less About Her Looks (Exclusive)

- Christina Ricci spoke to PEOPLE exclusively at a Yellowjackets season 3 event at the Saban Media Center in North Hollywood, Calif.
- Ricci, 45, shared that she has learned to separate her external appearance from who she is as a person — and that she tries to impart this outlook on her 3-year-old daughter, Cleo
- The actress said: “I think the biggest trick that’s ever been played on the female race is keeping us so preoccupied with our appearance that we can’t focus on what’s really important”
Christina Ricci isn’t about defining beauty by anyone’s standards except her own.
The actress recently spoke to PEOPLE exclusively at the Saban Media Center in North Hollywood, Calif. for a Yellowjackets season 3 FYC Event. During the conversation, she touched on everything from what it’s been like working on the hit Showtime series to how her relationship with her body has evolved over time.
“I think what I learned was that it doesn’t matter if I’m beautiful or not by anyone’s standards,” Ricci, 45, says. “I am myself. I view myself as a face and a brain. I don’t think about my body. I don’t think about what other people think of me.”

The Yellowjackets star went on to share that her daughter, Cleo, 3, helped her separate her external appearance from her true identity. “If you tell her she’s cute, she’ll say, ‘I’m not cute. I’m Cleo.’ And I think that’s so important. We are who we are and we don’t need to be defined in these other ways,” the actress says.
She also shares that she actively works to encourage her daughter to have a strong sense of self, emphasizing that it’s what’s on the inside that makes us who we are.
“I talk about how strong she is, how hard she tried, how smart she is, how funny she is — all the things that have to do with personality […] and identity because I think the biggest trick that’s ever been played on the female race is keeping us so preoccupied with our appearance that we can’t focus on what’s really important,” Ricci says.

The Wednesday actress has opened up about the challenges of growing up in the spotlight in the past — and the toll it took on her body image.
In a 2022 interview with Today, Ricci shared that costume fittings were some of her least favorite days on set because of the constant scrutiny surrounding her looks. “People would basically all get together and look at you and decide how to fix everything that was wrong with you,” she told the outlet. “And I never enjoyed those days of everybody talking about my flaws.”

“When I was 12 or 13 and started to have boobs, they [older men on set] would talk about how to make me look less womanly,” she continued. “It made me really uncomfortable. I did not enjoy that. […] The production — the movie being made — is more important than any individual’s feelings, so they didn’t have to consider my feelings. That can be a big problem when you’re a kid.”
Ricci, who is also mom to son, Freddie, 10, additionally told the outlet that she developed an eating disorder during puberty — which is partly why she works hard to ensure her kids have a healthy relationship with food. “I don’t want any weirdness [around food]. We eat for nutrition, we eat to grow, we eat to be healthy,” she said.
If you or someone you know is struggling with an eating disorder, The Alliance for Eating Disorders provides a fully-staffed helpline at 1-866-662-1235, as well as free, therapist-led support groups.

Valerie Bertinelli’s ex Mike Goodnough details their ‘painful’ split, ‘complicated relationship’

Valerie Bertinelli’s ex Mike Goodnough shed some light on his “complicated” relationship with the “One Day at a Time” actress as he issued a lengthy statement on their breakup.
“Writing this post makes me absolutely miserable,” he began his caption via Instagram Friday, which accompanied a graphic that read: “You & me. The end.”
“But it feels like something I have to do.”
Goodnough went on to reference a reported one-sided conflict between the exes that took place earlier this month, accepting fault for the whole ordeal.
“A post of mine here was the cause of it. I regret having posted it. I wish I hadn’t. The issue addressed was real. My post made it worse rather than better,” he said.
“Valerie and I had a complicated relationship. Our time as a couple ended months ago but our close contact only really ended recently. So, it is more ‘fresh’ than it would seem.”
The author also insinuated their relationship ended due to “things outside of [their] relationship” that “interfered.”
“The one thing that was never an issue was our love for each other. I loved Valerie more than I’ve ever loved someone in a relationship of choice. (My love for my son is a whole different thing.),” he shared.
“As a result, the dissolution of our relationship and way it played out has been by far the most painful experience of my life.”
“It has been so acutely agonizing, it has entirely changed the scale of how much heartbreak can hurt. What was once a 10 is now a four,” he closed.
Bertinelli and Goodnough reportedly split in November 2024 after 10 months of dating.
At the time, a source told People that the couple were no longer together. However, Goodnough seemed to neither confirm nor deny the news in a statement given to the outlet.
“Valerie and I are the only two people with insight into our relationship. Neither of us pays much attention to chatter among people outside of it,” Goodnough said.
Bertinelli began dating Goodnough in January 2024. Though, she didn’t reveal her new relationship publicly until March 2024.
She publicly spoke out regarding their split last month, telling her Instagram followers that she initially fell for the author’s writing before she fell in love with him.
“I met the @therealhoarse in person a year ago today and I am irreversibly changed by him for the better. I know I am becoming a much stronger and more benevolent human for having met him and spent time with him,” she wrote at the time.
