NEED TO KNOW

  • In 2011, Jade Thirlwall, Jesy Nelson, Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock formed Little Mix while competing on The X Factor

  • Nelson took a break from the group in 2020 to focus on her mental health while Edwards, Pinnock and Thirlwall continued to perform as a trio

  • Little Mix announced that they were going on a hiatus in 2022

It's been over 10 years sinceLittle Mixbrought back the girl group.

Jade Thirlwall,Jesy Nelson,Perrie EdwardsandLeigh-Anne Pinnockformed the British ensemble in 2011 while competing onThe X Factor. They became the first group to win the U.K. competition series and went on to release multiple hit songs, including "Wings" and "Black Magic."

In a February 2026 interview withThe Sun, Nelson said the reason Little Mix was so successful was that they "genuinely were like sisters at one point" and "best friends." As for a future reunion, she told the outlet, "Never say never."

"We're all mums now [aside from Thirlwall] and I can't speak on behalf of them, but I'd like to think that we probably see things a lot differently now," Nelson explained ahead of her docuseriesLife After Little Mix, which released on Prime Video on Feb. 13. "I have so much love for them and always will."

Little Mix started to unravel when Nelson left in 2020, writing on Instagram that being in a band had "taken a toll" on her mental health. Though Thirlwall, Edwards and Pinnock continued to perform as a trio, they announced a hiatus a year later in a post onX. They maintained that they were "not splitting up" but taking a break to "recharge" and work on other projects.

So, what happened to Little Mix? Here's everything to know about where the former members are now.

After Little Mix's hiatus, Thirlwall released her first solo album under the stage name JADE titledTHAT'S SHOWBIZ BABY. She took home the BRIT Award for Best Pop Act for her song "Angel of My Dreams," and thanked her "Little Mix sisters" in heracceptance speechfor changing her life.

Thirlwall toldHarper's Bazaar UKin November 2025 that she felt like she "struggled the most to adapt to life after the group" because her bandmates had families and kids.

"They went into a new chapter willingly. It was just me," she told the outlet. "I didn't know what to do with myself. Since I was 18, I lived and breathed Little Mix. It just took me a minute to adjust."

"I find the constant pressure of being in a girl group and living up to expectations very hard," she wrote, adding that it was time to "embark on a new chapter."

Though she released three singles as a solo artist, she put her music career on hold after welcoming twin girls,Ocean Jade and Story Monroe, in 2025 with her then-boyfriend,Zion Foster.

Months later, the singer announced that her daughters werediagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy(SMA) Type 1, an inherited neuromuscular disorder that is caused by the loss of a spinal cord nerve cell, which can weaken muscles over time, according to theCleveland Clinic.

Though children diagnosed with the condition can die before the age of 2 without treatment, Nelson said during a February 2026 episode of Jamie Laing'sGreat Companypodcast that she believes her daughters will "defy all the odds."

Perrie Edwards

NEED TO KNOW

  • Audrey Hepburn welcomed two children, Sean Hepburn Ferrer and Luca Dotti, with two different partners

  • Both Sean and Luca went on to welcome children of their own after Audrey's untimely death at 63

  • Audrey's granddaughter, Emma Kathleen Hepburn Ferrer, has continued her legacy of philanthropy

Audrey Hepburnis remembered far and wide as an Oscar-winning actress, a humanitarian and a fashion icon, but she also left a family behind to carry on her legacy.

Before her untimely death on Jan. 20, 1993, at the age of 63, Audrey gave birth to two sons, Sean Hepburn Ferrer and Luca Dotti.

Unfortunately, pregnancy didn't come easily for Audrey. After tying the knot with Mel Ferrer in 1954, she had two miscarriages, one of which reportedly occurred during the filming of her 1961 movie,Unforgiven, when she fell off a horse, perVanity Fair.

Her first child, Sean, was born on July 17, 1960. Though her marriage to Ferrer didn't last, with the couple divorcing in 1968, she became a mother again on Feb. 8, 1970, with the birth of her second son, Luca. Audrey shared the little boy with her second husband, Andrea Dotti, whom she wed in 1969. The pair would later divorce in 1982.

Here's everything to know about Audrey Hepburn's children and grandchildren.

Sean Hepburn Ferrer was born to Auudrey and Mel Ferrer on July 17, 1960, in Switzerland andspent part of his childhoodin a farmhouse in Tolochenaz, Switzerland — the same city where his parents wed six years earlier.

"I didn't grow up the son of a movie star; I didn't grow up in Hollywood, not the place, not the state of mind," Sean toldFilm Talkin 2016.

In fact, it wasn't until Sean moved to Rome at the age of 10 that he experienced paparazzi. "People wanted to photograph her all the time," he recalled.

Sean, for his part, stayed out of the limelight, attending primary school at Lycee Chateaubriand in Italy before heading back to Switzerland, where he became a student at the Swiss boarding school Le Rosey.

Though he spent a semester at the University of Geneva International Law School upon graduation, he ultimately followed in his mother's footsteps, working in the film industry.

However, Sean retired from Hollywood after his mother's death in 1993, pivoting instead to furthering her humanitarian efforts through the Audrey Hepburn Foundation.

"I left the business when my mother passed away and devoted myself to her work," he explained to Film Talk. "That was to me much more important than to produce a few more films … That's something we felt she would have very much appreciated,"

Sean also released his book,Audrey Hepburn, An Elegant Spirit, which gave an intimate glimpse into the actress's daily life, in 2003. "She wanted a normal life for herself and for us," he toldCBSof the memoir. "And it's a valuable and beautiful memory that she left us."

In his personal life, Sean married multiple times, welcoming three children. In 1994, he welcomed daughter Emma Kathleen Hepburn Ferrer with then-wife Leila Flannigan. He went on to marry Giovanna Gregori Ferrer, with whom he welcomed sons Gregorio Ferrer and Santiago Ferrer.

He and Giovanna ultimately split, and Sean married his wife, Karin Hofer. Together, she and Sean released a 2020 children's book,Little Audrey's Daydream: The Life of Audrey Hepburn, about his mother's life.

Today, Sean splits his time between Los Angeles and Florence with Karin.

Luca Dotti, 56

Luca Dotti was born to Audrey and Andrea Dotti on Feb. 8, 1970, in Switzerland, but grew up in Rome. Similar to his big brother, Luca was unaffected by his mother's fame in his formative years, laterwriting in his 2015 book,Audrey at Home, that he had no idea his mom was a movie star.

When asked about her, he recalled telling reporters, "I don't know who you are talking about. You must be mistaken. My mother is called Dotti."

"I didn't know she was Audrey Hepburn until I was 6 or so," he said.

Luca, a graphic designer, was just 23 years old when his mother died. It was in her honor that he created the Audrey Hepburn's Children's Fund with his brother Sean, which aimed to support underprivileged children.

In addition to Audrey at Home, Luca also publishedAudrey in Romein 2011.

"I wanted to connect these two parts, the public and the private Audrey," he toldPEOPLEof the former book, a memoir. "I hope it will give new insights into her. The most special thing about her was how normal she was. She never spoke about life as a fashion icon, her career as an actress, or her history. She lived her life as she wanted to."

In his personal life, Luca married his wife, Domitilla Dotti, and the two welcomed multiple children together.

Audrey Hepburn's grandchildren

Emma Kathleen Hepburn Ferrer was born to Ferrer and his then-wife Leila in Switzerland in May 1994, just one year after her grandmother died.

Though Emma never met her grandmother, she still reckoned with what Audrey meant to her, as both a celebrity and her family.

"I've been questioning a lot lately what she means to me," she toldHarper's Bazaarin August 2014. "I knew her image, of course, and that I happened to be, by pure chance, related to her."

She continued, "But as a child I couldn't really relate to Audrey Hepburn, the actress. To me, she was family. I can live with her through my father. His stories are all about his growing up."

Emma spent her first year of life at the Hepburn family country house, called La Paisible in Tolochenaz, Switzerland, before her parents moved with her to Los Angeles when she was 2 years old, she toldHarper's Bazaar.

Her formative adolescent years were largely spent in Italy, however. Her parents split when she was 6 years old, and, at 14, she moved to Florence with her mom to be closer to her dad, who was living in the Tuscan countryside.

The relocation had a major impact on Audrey's granddaughter, who attended the International School on viale Michelangelo and fell in love with art. At 18, Emma became one of the youngest students to ever attend the Florence Academy of Art, where she studied advanced painting, per herwebsite.

She also shared her grandmother's passion for charity. Emma joined UNICEF, which Audrey had been an ambassador for, to continue her grandmother's efforts.

"I think it's so important to have a history and a legacy that you want to carry on in your family, whether you're famous or not," she told theorganizationin 2019.

As of 2014, he lived with his wife and children in Rome.

Ryan Seacrest hosts 'Wheel of Fortune' Eric McCandless/Disney

A recentWheel of Fortunepuzzle had some viewers raising their eyebrows.

Things began innocently enough on Thursday's episode, with the category introduced as "Pet Life." Contestant Tiffany Godshalk of Jamison, Pa., ultimately came up with the correct answer, though she uttered it cautiously.

"Wearing my new dog collar," she said, shaking her head in surprise after she won.

HostRyan Seacrestacknowledged that it "sounds weird," but it was in fact the right solution.

Godshalk's opponents, Moses Sankey of Chicago and Yumn Elkhoja, of Ypsilanti, Mich., appeared as amused as members of the audience, who laughed as they applauded.

Seacrest also noted that the phrase was one he didn't expect anyone to get.

Godshalk went on to take home $53,498 by winning the entire game.

But what received attention from the long-running series' dedicated fans was that blush-worthy moment. "Should have been called 'Pet Life or Kink?,'" a viewer said on Reddit.

Another added simply, "That was weird!"

One viewer said their son had suggested the category was called "Never Have I Ever."

Entertainment Weeklyhas reached out to the show for comment.

Wheel of Fortunehas been on the air since 1975 and is generally pretty no-nonsense. In October, for instance, Seacrest scolded Derek Hough, theDancing With the Starsjudge, when he toyed with the show's most important element during a game ofCelebrity Wheel of Fortuneagainst costars Jenna Johnson-Chmerkovskiy and Bruno Tonioli.

"In the commercial break, [Hough] was jumping on the center of the wheel and having Bruno spin it, much like the top of a cake ornament," the host toldUSA Today. "We did say, 'Please don't do that. That would break it, and there's only one of those wheels. If that breaks, we have a real problem.'"

Seacrest has hosted since September 2024, after the retirement of longtime host Pat Sajak.

"I still can't believe my luck in being here with you tonight, to continue this legacy of this incredible show with all of you, and of course my good friend Vanna White," Seacrest said on his first episode with the title.

"HostingWheel of Fortuneis a dream job," added Seacrest, who also hostsAmerican Idol. "I've been a fan of this show since I was a kid watching it in Atlanta with my family.

Climate and energy experts praise Trump's Endangerment Finding repeal

(The Center Square) – Climate and energy experts have praised President Donald Trump's recent elimination of former President Barack Obama's Endangerment Finding, with several noting the freedom the action will bring to the auto industry and others stating this is only a beginning step.

American Energy Institute CEO Jason Isaac told The Center Square that repealing the Endangerment Finding "for mobile sources is a necessary first step toward correcting course, restoring the Clean Air Act to its proper role, and putting reliable, affordable energy back at the center of federal policy."

Isaac told The Center Square how "President Obama once said that under his energy policies, electricity prices would 'necessarily skyrocket.'"

"For many American families and small businesses, that prediction proved accurate," Isaac said.

"The Endangerment Finding became the legal engine behind regulations that raised energy costs, distorted markets, and made affordability an afterthought," Isaac said.

TheEndangerment Findingwas signed in 2009 under Obama's EPA and declared that certain greenhouse gases threatened public health, including carbon dioxide (CO2).

President of the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow Craig Rucker said in a statement to The Center Square that "at its core, the Endangerment Finding defies basic science and common sense."

"CO2, the odorless, colorless, gas you just exhaled, is essential to life," Rucker said. "It is what plants rely on for photosynthesis to produce oxygen and food."

"We are all made of that carbon," Rucker stated; thus, labeling CO2 "a 'pollutant' is absurd, akin to declaring water vapor a threat."

Rucker said that "a rigorous cost/benefit analysis reveals the folly: trillions in economic costs from climate mandates that yield no meaningful environmental benefits, stifle innovation, jobs, and energy independence and distract from genuine environmental priorities."

Similar to Rucker, president of the Heartland Institute James Taylor told The Center Square in a statement that the Endangerment Finding defied science.

"CO2 is the gift of life for planet Earth, not a pollutant or a threat to public health and welfare," Rucker said.

One expert told The Center Square of the freedom rescinding the Endangerment Finding will bring to the auto industry.

President of Truth in Energy & Climate Frank Lasee said in a statement to The Center Square that the EPA's move is "a clear win for buyers everywhere."

"This action liberates the auto industry from burdensome emission restrictions and money-losing electric vehicle mandates, allowing manufacturers to build the cars and trucks consumers truly want," Lasee said.

"President Trump deserves strong applause for this decisive step," Lasee said.

Sterling Burnett, director of the Arthur B. Robinson Center on Climate and Environmental Policy at The Heartland Institute, also noted the victory the EPA's rescinding brings to the car industry, telling The Center Square in a statement: "Today is a win for car and truck buyers.".

Repealing the Endangerment Finding is "long overdue and good for the American people," Burnett said. "Trump should be applauded for taking this action."

"Now it's time to strike another blow for affordability and strike while the iron is hot to rescind endangerment for power plants as well," Burnett said.

Executive Director of the CO2 Coalition Gregory Wrightstone noted that "rescinding the endangerment finding is great but it's not the ballgame."

"Not only does the rescission have to stand up in court, it must result in the overturning of the 2007 Supreme Court decision in Massachusetts v. EPA, where the Court wrongly ruled the EPA could regulate greenhouse gases even though Congress did not expressly authorize it," Wrightstone said.

"Even if the Trump EPA wins in court with respect to rescinding the endangerment finding, without also overturning Massachusetts v. EPA, the next Democrat-run EPA will simply re-issue the endangerment finding and all the Trump EPA's great work will have been erased," Wrightstone said.

Marc Morano, publisher of Climate Depot, said in a statement to The Center Square that "removing the CO2 Endangerment Finding from our lives will remove the legal basis for the misguided nonsense in the name of climate we've had to endure for the last several decades."

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldinannounced Thursdaythat he and Trump would be repealing the Endangerment Finding in the "single largest deregulatory action in U.S. history."

How Jeffrey Epstein used the glamour of the Nobel Peace Prize to entice his global network of elites

STAVANGER, Norway (AP) — Jeffrey Epstein repeatedly played up his ties to the former head of the Nobel Peace Prize committee in invitations to and chats with elites like Richard Branson, Larry Summers, Bill Gates and Steve Bannon, a top ally of President Donald Trump,the Epstein files show.

Thorbjørn Jagland, who headed the Norwegian Nobel Committee from 2009 to 2015, turns up hundreds of times in the millions ofdocuments about the former U.S. financierand convicted sex offender that were released by the U.S. Justice Department last month.

Since the release, Jagland, 75, has been charged in Norway for "aggravated corruption" in connection with an investigation prompted by information in the files, the economic crime unit of Norwegian police Økokrim said.

Økokrim has said it would investigate whether gifts, travel and loans were received in connection with Jagland's position. Its teams searched his Oslo residence on Thursday, plus two other properties in Risør, a coastal town to the south, and in Rauland to the west.

His attorneys at Elden law firm in Norway said Jagland denies the charges, and was questioned by the police unit on Thursday.

While there is no evidence in the documents seen so far of any outright lobbying for the Nobel Peace Prize, Epstein repeatedly played up hosting Jagland at his properties in New York and Paris in the 2010s.

From an 'interesting' guest to subject of banter with Bannon

In September 2018, during Trump's first term and in an apparent allusion to his interest in the peace prize, Epstein had a varied text-message exchange with Bannon, at one point writing — in one of many messages with untidy grammar: "donalds head would explode if he knew you were now buds with the guy who on monday will decide the nobel peace prize."

"I told him next year it should be you when we settle china," he added, without elaborating.

In one email from 2013, mixing in investment tips and praise for PR tips, Epstein told British entrepreneur and magnate Richard Branson that Jagland would be staying with Epstein in September that year, adding: "if you are there, you might find him interesting."

A year after she left a job as White House counsel to President Barack Obama, in 2015,Kathy Ruemmlergot an email from Epstein saying: "head of nobel peace prize coming to visit, want to join?"

In 2012, Epstein wrote former Treasury Secretary and Harvard University president Larry Summers about Jagland, saying "head of the nobel peace prize staying with me, if you have any interest."

In that exchange, Epstein referred to Jagland — also a former Norwegian prime minister and former head of the Council of Europe, a human rights body — as "not bright" but someone who offered a "unique perspective."

The financier wrote Bill Gates in 2014, saying that Jagland had been reelected as head of the Council of Europe.

"That is good," theMicrosoftco-founder and the world's former richest man, wrote. "I guess his peace prize committee job is also up in the air?"

During Jagland's tenure as chair of the committee, it gave the peace prize to Obama, in 2009, and the European Union in 2012.

Jagland was brought into Epstein's orbit by Terje Rød Larsen, a Norwegian diplomat who helped broker the Oslo Peace Accords between Israel and Palestinians. Larsen and wife are also facing corruption charges in Norway due to their association with Epstein.

Associated Press writer Jamey Keaten in Geneva contributed to this report.

Germany Munich Security Conference

Banging drums and chanting for regime change, the large and boisterous demonstrationin Munichwas part of what Pahlavi described as a "global day of action" to support Iranians in the wake of deadly nationwide protests. Pahlavi also called for rallies in Los Angeles and Toronto.

"Change, change, regime change" the crowd chanted, bringing together many thousands of people and waving green-white-and-red flags with lion and sun emblems, which Iran used beforeits 1979 Islamic Revolutionthat toppled the Pahlavi dynasty.

Some demonstrators sported "Make Iran Great Again" red caps, mimicking the MAGA caps worn by U.S. PresidentDonald Trump's supporters. Many waved placards showing Pahlavi, some that called him a king. The son of Iran's deposed shah has been in exile for nearly 50 years but istrying to position himselfas a player in Iran's future.

"We have huge hopes and (are) looking forward that the regime is going to change hopefully," said Daniyal Mohtashamian, a demonstrator in the crowd that chanted "Pahlavi for Iran" and "democracy for Iran" as drums and cymbals sounded.

He said he traveled from Zurich, in Switzerland, to speak up for protesters inside Iran who faced repression.

"There is an internet blackout and their voices are not going outside of Iran," he said.

Iranian leaders are already under intense pressure, facing renewedthreats of U.S. military action. Trump wants Iran to further scale back its nuclear program. He suggested Friday thatregime change in Iran"would be the best thing that could happen."

Iran was also the focus of protests in Munich on Friday,the opening dayof an annual security conference in the city gathering European leaders and global security figures. Supporters of the Iranian opposition group People's Mujahedeen Organization of Iran, also known as the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq, demonstrated againstIran's deadly crackdownon protesters last month.

At a news conference in Munich, Pahlavi warned of the likelihood of more deaths in Iran if "democracies stand by and watch."

"We gather at an hour of profound peril to ask: Will the world stand with the people of Iran?" he asked.

He added that the Iranian government's continued survival "sends a clear signal to every bully: kill enough people and you stay in power."

The U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency says at least 7,005 people were killed in the protest, including 214 government forces. It has been accurate in counting deaths during previous rounds of unrest in Iran and relies on a network of activists in Iran to verify deaths.

Iran's government offered its only death toll on Jan. 21, saying 3,117 people were killed. Iran's theocracy in the past has undercounted or not reported fatalities from past unrest.

The Associated Press has been unable to independently assess the death toll, given authorities have disrupted internet access and international calls in Iran.

Whoopi Goldberg Says 'I'm Out' and Almost Walks Away from

Whoopi Goldberg was not in the mood on Thursday, Feb. 12, as her co-hosts on The View got into a heated debate over an Olympics hot topic

NEED TO KNOW

  • Goldberg jokingly threatened to leave the table, and she was even encouraged by co-host Joy Behar to "take a nap" to avoid the discussion

  • "Stay with us, Whoopi. Stay with us," Ana Navarro said, trying to keep her co-host engaged

The internet can't get enough of Norwegian biathleteSturla Holm Lægreid and his viral cheating confession, butWhoopi Goldbergis not interested.

On the Thursday, Feb. 12 episode ofThe View, the co-hosts discussed Lægreid's confession during a Tuesday, Feb. 10 press conference, where he admitted that he'd cheated on his girlfriend during a live interview after winning the bronze medal at the2026 Winter Olympics.

He called his ex "the love of my life" in the interview, according to a translation provided by E! News, but said he'd "made the biggest mistake of my life and was unfaithful" and had come clean about it and they'd broken up.

The next day,Lægreid issued an apology to both his ex-girlfriend and his teammate, Johan-Olav Botn, who had won gold but was overshadowed by the cheating confession. He said he "deeply regret[s]" taking the attention away from Botn and for thrusting his ex into the spotlight.

OnThe View, Goldberg, 70, said she was "confused by all of this" as the panel began discussing the drama.

"The main thing, Whoopi, is — he's with the girl six months, and he's cheating on her already,"Joy Beharexplained, before trying to offer a scientific explanation to explain the athlete's infidelity. "Tell us, doctor," Goldberg encouraged.
