David Corenswet and wife Julia Best Warner make red carpet debut at ‘Superman' premiere
The couple turned heads Monday night at the TCL Chinese Theatre for the world premiere of Superman, marking Corenswet's big-screen debut as the Man of Steel. This public appearance comes after a very private couple of years that included a secret wedding in 2023 and the arrival of their first child in early 2024.
Corenswet, 32, looked every bit the modern Clark Kent in a navy pinstriped suit and textured knit tie, while Warner, a producer and actress, stunned in a sage green high-neck gown that blended effortless grace with Hollywood glam.
But the biggest surprise? The couple's charming behind-the-scenes story. Speaking to PEOPLE, Corenswet revealed he learned he was screen-testing for Superman just two days before discovering his wife was pregnant. 'We had these two quite huge secrets that we just had between the two of us,' he said. 'And that was intense.'
And in a twist that could've come from a rom-com: 'She gained about 40 pounds while she was pregnant, and in the same period, I gained about 40 pounds for Superman. I started snoring and had to use her pregnancy pillow,' Corenswet confessed with a laugh.
The couple joined co-stars Rachel Brosnahan (Lois Lane) and Nicholas Hoult (Lex Luthor), along with director James Gunn and DC Studios boss Peter Safran. Brosnahan shimmered in a royal purple sequined Ralph Lauren gown, while Hoult rocked leather pants and a bold striped tie.
With Superman hitting theaters July 11, all eyes are on Corenswet, not just as DC's new leading man, but as Hollywood's most charming new dad.

Former Superman Dean Cain slams Hollywood for making character too pro-immigration under James Gunn
Dean Cain, best known for playing Superman in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman from 1993 to 1997, expressed concerns over James Gunn's updated portrayal of the character. Speaking in a video interview with TMZ, Cain questioned how much Hollywood is changing legacy characters to reflect contemporary values. 'How woke is Hollywood going to make this character?' he asked, referencing Gunn's take on Superman as an immigrant symbolizing basic human kindness. Cain acknowledged Superman's extraterrestrial origins, calling him 'a freaking alien,' but took issue with what he sees as an overly politicized depiction. Gunn had previously likened Superman's journey to 'the story of America,' calling him 'an immigrant that came from other places and populated the country.' Cain responded, saying, 'The 'American way' is immigrant friendly, tremendously immigrant friendly. But there are rules.' Cain's remarks resonate amid an intensifying political climate, where immigration remains a divisive issue under President Donald Trump's administration. Since his re-election, Trump has implemented aggressive immigration measures, including community raids and attempts to revoke the legal status of naturalized citizens. Critics have linked Gunn's comments to a broader ideological push, with Fox News host Jesse Watters satirizing the film's message, quipping, 'Superman is fighting for truth, justice, and your preferred pronouns,' and suggesting he wear the MS-13 symbol. When asked to address the controversy, Gunn stated, 'I'm not here to judge people.' Nathan Fillion, who plays Green Lantern in the film, encouraged audiences to simply 'see the movie for what it is.' Sean Gunn, who also appears in the film, went further, saying, 'If you don't like that Superman is an immigrant, you're not American.' James Gunn's Superman hits U.S. theaters on July 11 after opening internationally this week.

Tori Kelly announces first pregnancy with husband André Murillo
Grammy-winning singer Tori Kelly is expecting her first child with husband André Murillo. The couple, who tied the knot in May 2018, shared the news exclusively with PEOPLE, calling the baby 'a little gift from God.' Currently on a European stadium tour with Ed Sheeran, Kelly, 32, expressed deep gratitude for this chapter in her life, saying, 'This year has already been full of highs — getting to perform in stadiums all summer, writing the most personal songs of my career and now getting to start a family.' The announcement came with a heartwarming video featuring the couple sharing intimate moments at home and on the beach. The video was soundtracked by a romantic snippet from Kelly's upcoming music project, where she sings lyrics like, 'Let's make a baby.' Kelly and Murillo, 35, began dating in 2016 and got engaged the following year. They've kept much of their relationship private but have occasionally shared glimpses into their bond, including appearances at public events like NBA games. The pregnancy news follows Kelly's health scare in July 2023, when she was hospitalized due to blood clots. Since then, she's recovered, released her latest album TORI. in April 2024, and has spoken about embracing life's fragility. Now, the singer says she's 'ready for what comes next.'

Nicholas Hoult attends Superman premiere in Saint Laurent look
Nicholas Hoult appeared at the Superman premiere in Los Angeles dressed in a coordinated look from Saint Laurent's Fall 2025 menswear collection, styled by Jason Bolden. The outfit featured a structured black blazer paired with leather trousers, worn with a white shirt, black patent boots, and layered accessories including David Yurman rings and a Jaeger-LeCoultre watch. According to Bolden, the choice of outfit was directly inspired by Hoult's role as Lex Luthor. 'The collection just spoke to his character—tough and classic,' he said. 'We also wanted to nod to the past Lex Luthors by playing with classic suiting but with a modern approach.' Hoult's platinum blond buzzcut, which he first showed during an earlier Jimmy Kimmel Live appearance, remained part of the look. The hair change has been connected to his upcoming role in the film How to Rob a Bank. A behind-the-scenes photo diary shared by Vogue showed moments from Hoult's preparation, including his own description of the leather trousers as 'an experiment in chafing.' As part of the film's global press tour, Hoult has also been seen in pieces by Tom Ford, Haider Ackermann, Celine, Bottega Veneta, and Prada, maintaining a consistent focus on tailored, high-fashion menswear.
