Bobby's wife, Brigitte Poublon Sherman and friend John Stamos paid a joint tribute to him on Instagram calling him "brave, gentle, and full of light".
Fellow actor John Stamos wrote: "From one ex teen idol, to another - rest in peace Bobby Sherman.
"This is from his wife, my friend, Brigette:"
Bobby's heartbroken wife continued: "It is with the heaviest heart that I share the passing of my beloved husband, Bobby Sherman.
"Bobby left this world holding my hand—just as he held up our life with love, courage, and unwavering grace through all 29 beautiful years of marriage.
"I was his Cinderella, and he was my prince charming. Even in his final days, he stayed strong for me.
"That's who Bobby was—brave, gentle, and full of light.
"As he rested, I read him fan letters from all over the world—words of love and gratitude that lifted his spirits and reminded him of how deeply he was cherished.
"He soaked up every word with that familiar sparkle in his eye. And yes, he still found time to crack well-timed jokes—Bobby had a wonderful, wicked sense of humor.
"It never left him. He could light up a room with a look, a quip, or one of his classic, one-liners."
Bobby's widow added how he was known across the globe for his music, including hits such as Julie, Do Ya Love Me, Easy Come, Easy Go, and Little Woman.
He also starred in movie classic Here Come the Brides.
Other credits included Getting Together, The Mod Squad, Emergency! and Murder She Wrote.
Brigitte added: "But to those who truly knew him, Bobby was something much more.
"He was a man of service. He traded sold-out concerts and magazine covers for the back of an ambulance, becoming an EMT and a trainer with the LAPD. He saved lives. He showed us what real heroism looks like—quiet, selfless, and deeply human."
Bobby leaves behind two sons, Tyler and Christopher, as well as six grandchildren.
"He lived with integrity, gave without hesitation, and loved with his whole heart," continued Brigitte.
"And though our family feels his loss profoundly, we also feel the warmth of his legacy—his voice, his laughter, his music, his mission.
"Thank you to every fan who ever sang along, who ever wrote a letter, who ever sent love his way. He felt it. Rest gently, my love.
"With gratitude and love, Brigitte Poublon Sherman.'

Chris Hughes reveals telltale sign he's taken major step in relationship with JoJo Siwa
CHRIS Hughes has revealed a telltale sign he's taken a major step in his relationship with JoJo Siwa. The couple previously confirmed their romance after meeting on Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year. 5 Love Island alum Chris, 32, recently flew out to reunite with Dance Moms star JoJo, 22, in LA. Taking to Instagram, Chris shared a snap of a framed photo in JoJo's family home - which shows the pair hugging. It sits proudly alongside pictures of JoJo's family and other loved ones. Elsewhere, Chris tagged JoJo's mum, Jessalyn, in his Instagram story as the family enjoyed a takeaway. He penned: "Had the best few days. It's so beautiful here." The smitten stars were spotted revelling in their new romance as they stepped out in Los Angeles. JoJo and Chris packed on the PDA as they headed for a couple's massage. The pair snuggled and cuddled, as they walked to a massage parlour in Downtown LA. They only had eyes for each other, and have proved they can make a long distance relationship work. The now-couple became extremely close while they co-starred in the ITV reality show. They spent the whole time in the house cuddling and snuggling, despite JoJo's relationship with Kath Ebbs. Just hours after finishing in third place on Celebrity Big Brother, JoJo dumped Kath at the after-party - despite having flown in from Australia to support the singer. It comes as Chris has been open and honest about how "totally in love" he is with JoJo. "I am really in love with this one," he told the Daily Mail. "She is my princess, she is a good one." Discussing their romance, JoJo previously told The Guardian: "It's not platonic any more, and it's been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I'm absolutely head over heels for him and he's the same way." She added: "I won't ever speak for him, but for me personally, the happiness in my life just radiates off of me right now. "Literally yesterday, I was massaging my cheeks; I've never been in pain from smiling so much." 5

That '70s Show star Wilmer Valderrama welcomes second child with longtime fiancee
That '70s Show alum Wilmer Valderrama has welcomed baby number two with his fiancee Amanda Pacheco - and shared adorable photos of the newborn to Instagram on Saturday. The actor, 45 - who excitedly announced in February that another child was on the way - already shares daughter Nakano Oceana, four, with his partner. In the joint post uploaded over the weekend, Wilmer could be seen holding the newborn - and also revealed the name and gender of the little one. The carousel of sweet snaps were captioned with: 'Wolf Monte Valderrama 7/11/2025,' followed by a wolf and moon emoji. In one black and white image, the star gently carried his baby boy while flashing a cheerful smile. Valderrama also posed for additional pictures with Amanda as they both held the little one. Their daughter happily embraced her new role as big sister and also held Wolf who was swaddled in a blanket. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Wilmer Valderrama (@wilmervalderrama) Social media users jumped to the comment section to share congratulatory messages to Wilmer and his family. One penned, 'Congratulations. He is so adorable,' while another typed out, 'OMG!! Congratulations!! He is absolutely beautiful.' 'Congrats!!! Welcome Baby Wolf,' a follower wrote, and one also shared, 'So happy for you guys!! Beautiful!!!' Another expressed, 'So so so happy for you brother!!! What a blessing!' while TV personality Drew Scott added an array of red heart emojis. Back in February, Wilmer and Amanda announced that baby number two was on the way and opened up about their growing family during an interview with People. While the couple shared their excitement over the news, they also revealed that their daughter was eager to become a big sister. 'She's been manifesting this for months before I found out I was even pregnant!' Amanda told the outlet at the time. 'Telling my family that she was going to be a big sister by going to the store and asking to buy the tiny balloons at the check out stand that say "It's a girl!"' Pacheco added, 'Mind you, we still don't know the gender of the baby, but if it was up to her, she'd love to have a baby sister.' The actor also joined in on the conversation and said fatherhood has given him 'a sense of purpose that is hard to describe.' The NCIS star continued, 'Like you could in fact lift a car if you had to. Personally, being a girl dad has been the most fulfilling feeling. 'As an artist, it has also fueled me to make sure she has so many stories in which she sees herself as the hero of her journey! All in all, I was born to be a dad!' He later talked about what he sees for his family's future and expressed that there will be 'more unicorn birthdays, more toys on the floor, to finish two half eaten burritos because that would make one whole one. 'Hearing "Hola papá" twice when I walk in the door and giving our parents more babysitting hours because that's is the grandparent life! All in all, I look forward to laughs and memories.' Wilmer and Amanda were first romantically linked in 2019 and the star popped the big question in 2020 on New Year's Day. The following year, the lovebirds welcomed their first child - a daughter named Nakano Oceana. During an interview with Parents, Valderrama recalled first falling for Pacheco and said he had felt 'a gravitational pull' towards her. 'There was just something about her that told me I needed to know this person,' the actor added. As the couple have fully embraced parenthood, they explained that they also prioritize communication between each other. 'I think that's a testament to us. They tell you, "It's all about the baby," but when you're both with the baby, you can forget about each other. The baby is our priority,' Wilmer said. He then told Amanda - who was also joined in on the interview - 'But, you are mine too.' Wilmer is known for portraying the character of Fez on the hit series That '70s Show - which aired from 1998 through 2006. The cast of the teen sitcom also included Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis, Topher Grace, and Laura Prepon. After his time on the show came to an end, Valderrama went on to take on roles in other projects such as Grey's Anatomy and Disney's Handy Many. Since 2016, he has been playing Special Agent Nick Torres in NCIS.

EXCLUSIVE Worrying sign Aaron and Denise's marriage was toxic as insider reveals what it was really like on their reality show
Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers' divorce took a disturbing turn this week when the Hollywood icon shared in a court filing a shocking photo of her black eye, alleging that her estranged husband was physically abusive throughout the entire span of their relationship. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, 54, requested a temporary restraining order from Phypers, 52, after detailing graphic instances of alleged abuse in a court-ordered protection filed Thursday and granted the same day. Her estranged husband has since denied all allegations of abuse, while a source close to Phypers told the Daily Mail that her black eye was actually the result of a drunken fall. However, it seems the former couple's marriage was plagued with red flags years before Phypers filed for divorce. According to insiders who worked on Richards' reality TV series, Phypers had a 'manipulative' tendency to act supportive of his wife on camera, only to turn against her once filming wrapped. During their short-lived Bravo reality series Denise Richards & Her Wild Things – which also starred her daughters Sami, 21, Lola, 19, and Eloise, 13 – the couple would act 'intense' and 'passive aggressive' towards each other, so much so they'd even go on their phones in separate rooms when cameras were down. 'You could cut tension with a knife sometimes,' one source told the Daily Mail. Filming the show was made especially difficult the morning after one of their fights, as Richards and Phypers 'wouldn't speak to each other off camera' and if they did, there was always an edge. The insider recalled one moment in which Richards had flubbed a scene, and Phypers responded by shaking his head and muttering 'menopause' under his breath. It was Phypers' belittling comments towards his wife that made crew members particularly uncomfortable, the source said. Although the businessman had 'decided that his character was going to be very supportive of Denise' on camera, they explained that his demeanor off camera was anything but. In fact, they said he appeared to be 'very threatened' by her success and stardom, as if he was 'trying to prove that he was superior' to his wife. After all, it was Richards who was the Hollywood icon, and she had already served two seasons on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. 'Aaron walked around as if he was the biggest star on the planet when we were filming,' a second source told the Daily Mail. Their intense dynamic was on display in a chilling clip from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills that has resurfaced in the wake of Richards' abuse allegations. During the unsettling incident from season 10, which was filmed in 2020, Phypers was caught threatening Richards following a confrontation with her co-stars Kyle Richards and Teddi Mellencamp. The hot mic moment caught Richards telling her partner not to 'say a f*****g word' as they walked off hand-in-hand following the dispute, to which Phypers responded: 'Don't tell me what to say. I'm going to crush your f*****g hand. Stop it.' Richards departed from the series following season ten, though she made several cameos in later seasons. Her spin-off show, Denise Richards & Her Wild Things, premiered on Bravo in March this year but ended after one season. In her court filing obtained by the Daily Mail, Richards claimed that her estranged husband's father had joined in on the alleged abuse during a July 4 confrontation at her temporary residence. She claimed that Phypers had showed up at her studio townhouse, where she was staying after moving out of their shared home in late 2023, and demanded her phone. 'He called me a 'c*** w****' multiple times and violently hit the bill of my hat with the back of his hand, causing it to fly off my head,' Richards said. She said his father, Steven Phypers, joined in – yelling that he would tell the media she was a 'w****' and expose the contents of her phone. Richards added in the court document that she was 'scared, terrified and fearful for my life.' Among the allegations in her request for a retraining order included claims that Phypers regularly threatened to choke her, squeeze her head and arms with both arms, 'violently slap me in my face and head' and allegedly 'threaten to kill' her. The most recent instances allegedly occurred between July 4 and July 14. In a statement to the Daily Mail, Phypers addressed Richards' allegations of abuse, calling them 'completely false and deeply hurtful'. 'I want to address recent rumors and speculation that have surfaced regarding my relationship with my wife, Denise Richards,' he said. 'Let me be unequivocally clear: I have never physically or emotionally abused Denise – or anyone. 'These accusations are completely false and deeply hurtful. Denise and I, like many couples, have faced our share of challenges, but any suggestion of abuse is categorically untrue. 'I have always tried to approach our marriage with love, patience, and respect. I ask for privacy as we navigate personal matters, and I hope that the public and media will refrain from spreading harmful and baseless claims.'
