‘Euphoria’ kills off Jacob Elordi’s Nate Jacobs

wp content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F3%2F2026%2F05%2Feuphoria kills nate split

He’s not feeling euphoric.

Warning: Spoilers ahead! Do not proceed unless you’ve watched “Euphoria’s” seventh episode of Season 3.

“Euphoria” catapulted Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney and Zendaya into their current status as A-listers, and now, one has been axed from the show.

Season 3 killed Elordi’s controversial character, Nate Jacobs.

He was buried alive in a coffin, with a pipe leading to the surface so that he could breathe. A rattlesnake slithered down the pipe and bit him.

He had been placed there by Naz (Jack Topalian), the gangster he owes about a million dollars to.

Naz’s plan was to leave Nate down there (with a pipe to breathe) for 72 hours while his wife, Cassie (Sweeney) could get the money together.

Unfortunately for Nate, before 72 hours was up, a snake got him. Naz also didn’t make it out alive, as he was fatally shot by Season 3’s other gangster, Alamo (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje). Cassie and Maddy (Alexa Demie) scrambled to get the money together as Nate got dug up, but they got a nasty surprise, as they were met with his dead body.

In the “inside the episode” segment at the end, Elordi said in his post-mortem interview, “It was a cool way to go, Nate is somebody who’s made so many mistakes and so many dark choices.”

First premiering in 2019, the Sam Levinson-created drama initially followed its characters in high school. Elordi, Zendaya and Sweeney were lesser known at the time.

“Euphoria changed my life,” Elordi, 28, told Variety in 2023.

“Saltburn” was the Australian star’s big-screen breakout that same year. Per Vogue Australia, his “Wuthering Heights” co-star Margot Robbie (who produced “Saltburn”) suggested him for the role at the time after watching him in “Euphoria.”

The “Frankenstein” star told GQ UK in 2023 that before landing on the HBO show, “I wasn’t booking jobs. I think I had – I don’t know, $400 or $800 left in my bank account – and ‘Euphoria’ was my last audition before I went home for a little while to make some money and recuperate.”

In the first two seasons, Nate was the show’s villain. He was a high school jock with anger issues – he manipulated, threatened and blackmailed everyone around him, choked his then-girlfriend, Maddy (Alexa Demi), and struck up a relationship with her best friend, Cassie (Sweeney).

Nate’s issues stemmed from finding his father Cal’s (Eric Dane) sex tapes at a young age.

In Season 3, which is set five years after high school, Nate had a dramatically different personality.

His rage issues inexplicably seemed vanished, his demeanor was softer and nicer and he appeared to genuinely love Cassie (instead of using her, like he was in Season 2).

Instead of being menacing, he did a goofy dance at his wedding. After he didn’t get his way in front of a board of bureucrats, rather than blackmail or threaten them, he just pathetically cried and begged.

Outraged fans criticized “Euphoria” for Nate’s inexplicable personality change and slammed it for giving the character a “lobotomy.”

Season 3 saw Nate take over his dad’s construction business, but he ran into issues when he had to stop his build because of an endangered flower – the white fritillary.

The show also revealed that he conned people into giving him money for his construction projects, including the gangster Naz.

In the third episode of Season 3, when Nate didn’t pay Naz the half a million dollars he owed him, Naz interrupted Nate and Cassie’s wedding and had him brutally beaten on his wedding night. It all culminated in Naz cutting off Nate’s toe. However, Nate later got it sewn back on.

Topalian exclusively told Page Six that Elordi did most of his own stunts during the scene where Naz’s henchmen threw Nate around.

“That’s [Elordi] really doing the struggling and the fighting and the falling and all of that,” he told us.

He called Elordi “committed,” “giving,” and “prepared,” but “between scenes, he’s back to being Jacob.”

“Obviously, he gets back into character really quickly,” he went on. “But once [the director calls ‘cut’] even though he’s been beaten and abused, he’s still having a lot of fun. He’s still cracking jokes and doing things like that.”

Elordi told Entertainment Weekly in November that his acting process was different in Season 3. He noted that he likes to “obsess over” his work, and take the time to prepare by going through “every element and construct it and put it together.”

The booked and busy actor – who was in “Frankenstein” and “Wuthering Heights” back to back – noted that he had “no time” to prepare for Season 3.

“And I didn’t have scripts in any kind of full sense. I sort of just had creative conversations with Sam, so I had no choice.”

The “Priscilla” actor also noted that he “loves” Nate, even though most fans hate him.

“I act to understand a different experience, to express an experience that’s different to my own,” said Elordi. “Playing him taught me a lot about empathy and patience, which is strange with a character like that.”

Elordi also told the outlet that Nate’s dark deeds didn’t bother him.

“It’s a real treat to be a part of that show, and to play the quote-unquote bad guy,” he said. “It’s always more fun. You don’t wanna play some morally superior, world-saving loser.”

Vrai makes the best lab-grown diamond earrings — just ask Taylor Swift

Prepare to polish up real nice.

Giant statement earrings have their time and place — but if you ask me, daintier fine jewelry pieces you can sleep, shower and sweat in are far superior. In addition to being more comfortable than shoulder-dusting styles, these classic studs and drops elevate any outfit and are guaranteed to go with everything in your closet, making them well worth the investment.

One of my favorite sources for this sort of everyday sparkle? Vrai, whose delicate lab-grown diamond designs marry top-tier quality and craftsmanship with a commitment to sustainable production.

“We create diamonds by crystallizing greenhouse gasses in our zero-emission foundry — the world’s first [to be] certified carbon-neutral,” Vrai co-founder and president Mona Akhavi previously told Page Six Style.

“The diamonds are gently grown in plasma reactors powered by 100% renewable energy from the Columbia River, located in America’s beautiful Pacific Northwest — entirely removing the environmental and human toll of mining.”

I’m the proud owner of several pairs of Vrai earrings, including the Linked Tennis Earrings and Solitaire Studs, and have been known to wear them for weeks at a time.

I’m in good company, too; Taylor Swift’s a big fan of the brand, having been spotted multiple times in both aforementioned styles. (She even owns two different sets of the Solitaire Studs — one featuring round brilliant stones like mine, the other with trillion-cut ones.)

The 14-time Grammy winner’s particularly fond of the Linked Tennis Earrings, which she’s worn to Chiefs games, movie premieres, dinner dates and even onstage during her Eras Tour.

“As a creator of her own music, career, story and brand, Taylor aligns with Vrai‘s diamond origin and creation process; disrupting expectations through innovation and authenticity,” Akhavi told us last year.

“[Swift] is known for her authentic style that favors self-expression and is full of symbolism — just as Vrai designs are symbolic and meaningful.”

And judging by the fact that my favorite earrings just as beautiful now as the day I bought them, I’d guess Swift’s are still in pristine condition, too.

In fact, I’m optimistic they’ll last for eras to come.

Zendaya wears angel wings at ‘The Odyssey’ NYC premiere

wp content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F3%2F2026%2F07%2F134409695

Zendaya made a show-stopping appearance at “The Odyssey” premiere in New York City, donning ethereal angel wings on the red carpet.

The actress was pictured at the event on Tuesday evening in a plunging, off-white strapless feather-lined gown with a thigh-high slit from Matiéres Fécales.

The dress featured a long train, as well as the dramatic feathered matching wings, which stretched out past her shoulders.

The “Euphoria” star accessorized with jeweled Chopard chandelier earrings and sculptural white wedge heels, and styled her hair a soft, curly braid that trailed down her back.

She finished the jaw-dropping look with a natural makeup palette.

Footage from the event showed the “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” actress effortlessly showing off every angle of the breathtaking look for photographers before stepping into the event.

Fans on social media gushed over the look, with one person writing, “Flawless!! I’m also loving her makeup looks, so simple yet so perfect for each outfit ❤️”

Another remarked, “Wow thanks a lot I just passed out,” while a third chimed in, “How do you keep Slaying every single time? Like how 🤌🏻✨💕”

Others weighed in with one-word compliments, including “Mesmerizing,” “Beyond,” and “Iconic.”

The “Dune” star, 29 — who plays Athena, goddess of wisdom and warfare in the film — divulged during the appearance that the look has been years in the making.

“Law put this on hold a long time ago. Like, two years ago,” she said of her longtime stylist, Law Roach, during an E! News livestream.

“We’re usually on the same page,” she added. “We have gone back and forth a few times. It’s family, so that’s how we do it.”

Zendaya was joined by A-list legends Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron, Matt Damon, Lupita Nyong’o and more as the cast gathered for the latest premiere.

It’s worth noting that her husband, Tom Holland, attended the event as well, posing on the red carpet in a sleek buttonless, monochromatic black suit.

They were previously spotted at premieres in Paris and London earlier this month to celebrate the highly anticipated release of director Christopher Nolan’s Greek epic.

For the Paris premiere, she notably modeled a custom white lace cutout gown by Louis Vuitton.

Tom Segura hinted at Christina Pazsitzky divorce before breakup bombshell

wp content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F3%2F2026%2F07%2F134337359

Comedian Tom Segura hinted at his split from wife Christina Pazsitzky by not wearing his wedding ring on his latest podcast episode.

Segura ditched his ring for Monday’s episode of his “2 Bears, 1 Cave” podcast that he co-hosts with pal Bert Kreischer.

The hour-long episode came out the same day of Segura and Pazsitzky’s separation news.

Segura had his wedding ring during all his prior podcasts, including the June 29 episode of “2 Bears, 1 Cave.”

According to TMZ, Segura, 47, and Pazsitzky, 50, separated within the last couple of months after 18 years of marriage. They have two sons, Ellis, born in 2016, and Julian, born in 2018.

The former couple founded the podcast network YMH Studios and co-host their popular podcast, “Your Mom’s House,” which debuted in 2012.

They haven’t filmed an episode of “Your Mom’s House” together since late April. Segura wore his wedding ring on that episode.

TMZ reported Segura and Pazsitzky will continue to co-host the podcast despite their split.

“They had a special and productive relationship, creating one of the most successful comedy podcast networks in the industry and, more importantly, two kids,” a source told the outlet.

“They are taking different paths moving forward while remaining devoted to their children,” the insider added.

Page Six has not heard back from Segura and Pazsitzky’s reps.

The comedians, who got married in November 2008, often discuss their marriage on both their podcast and their separate stand-up shows.

In, 2019, Segura joked during a comedy show that the key to his marriage was “intimidation and fear.”

“My wife is Kim Jong-il and I’m the people of North Korea,” he cracked. “Every day, there are a series of interrogations leading to a looming execution.”

Pazsitzky poked fun at Segura in her 2017 Netflix special, “Mother Inferior.”

“I love my husband. I laugh at his jokes. I think he’s fantastic,” she said. “And then all day, every day, I wanna punch him in his dumb face.”

She added, “And it’s not the big things that make you wanna kill your spouse. It’s little stuff.”
