Lily Collins says Charlie McDowell 'was born to be a dad'
Lily Collins thinks Charlie McDowell was "born to be a dad".
The 36-year-old actress took to social media on Father's Day (15.06.25) to heap praise on her husband, thanking Charlie for "taking the best care" of their daughter Tove.
The brunette beauty - who announced in January that they'd welcomed a baby girl via surrogacy - wrote on Instagram: "Happy first Father's Day @charliemcdowell. Tove is the luckiest little girl in the world to be yours. Seeing you with her is the most beautiful thing. You certainly were born to be a dad and you continue to amaze me every single day with the countless ways you protect and nurture her, make her laugh, and shower her with adoration. Thank you for taking the best care of our little T and of course big brother @redforddog. What would we do without you? We love you so so SO much… (sic)"
Lily recently revealed that she "couldn't be more grateful" to be a mother.
The actress took to Instagram in May to celebrate her first Mother's Day.
Alongside a photo of Lily cradling her baby girl, the Emily in Paris star wrote: "My first Mother's Day. No words can describe this new journey, this new life. I love you with all of my heart Tove, with all of the parts of it that have grown deeper since the day you were born and all of those I never even knew existed. You have expanded my world, broadened my horizons, and widened my smile more than I knew was possible. And to think, it's only the beginning. I couldn't be more grateful or honored to be your mum… (sic)"
Lily - who is the daughter of music star Phil Collins - announced the arrival of her baby girl via an Instagram post earlier this year.
The Hollywood star - who has been married to Charlie since 2021 - wrote at the time: "Welcome to the center of our world Tove Jane McDowell. Words will never express our endless gratitude for our incredible surrogate and everyone who helped us along the way. We love you to the moon and back again… (sic)"

Elliot Page debuts first romance since marriage split
Elliot Page has debuted his first public relationship since his 2021 divorce. The 38-year-old actor celebrated Pride month by unveiling his new romance with Overcompensating star Julia Shiplett, 38, with a sweet post on Instagram. Elliot shared a picture of them cuddling on a street painted rainbow and captioned the picture with rainbow and double heart emojis. Julia also shared some pictures of Elliot shirtless in a hot spring to her Instagram Stories. She added the exhaling and the water droplet emojis and wrote: 'Happy prideee.' This is the first public romance for Elliot since his marriage to Emma Portner ended four years ago. The pair tied the knot in 2018 and Emma was publicly supportive when Elliot came out as transgender in December 2020. However, they filed for divorce in January 2021 and revealed they had been secretly separated since the previous summer. They said in a joint statement at the time: 'After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce following our separation last summer. We have the utmost respect for each other and remain close friends.' While Julia is Elliot's first public partner since the split, he revealed previously that he was enjoying dating following the divorce and his transition. He told the Los Angeles Times: 'It's the most fun I've ever had dating. Interacting with people feels so much easier and more connected, because I'm not feeling lost in myself and not seen in the right way.'

Screen Queen TV Reviews: And Just Like That . . . plus Smoke, Poop Cruise, My Mom Jayne, Patience
It's done. It's happened — I am now officially hate-watching And Just Like That . . . I had a feeling this may happen, but I was holding out hope that things would get better. When the show first aired, some reviewers were calling it 'a return to form', saying the Sex And The City spin-off had 'finally got it right'. But reader: it isn't. And they haven't. At least not yet. And I am now forced to Emily In Paris this parody of a show. Regular readers will know what I mean when I write this — for four long seasons I have begrudgingly inhaled that pedestrian Netflix series despite knowing full well it's a steaming pile of Parisian mediocrity. Yet I can't turn away. It's almost like I'm punishing myself by enduring its subpar scripts for the bright, frothy escapism of it all, which, honestly, in this current climate is not without its merits. But I'm not sure that's even an option with this show any more. It's starting to feel more like an episode of Packed To The Rafters with each passing week. Carrie's life used to be aspirational and exciting; now it feels mean, uncharitable and small. She'd rather tippy-tap around her apartment solo in seven-inch heels than have bestie Miranda live with her. Miranda moved in this week, only to be turfed out days later for the unforgivable sin of eating Carrie's yoghurt, drinking her Mexican coke and mopping up a spill with her vintage silk Pucci scarf (OK, that one is pretty punishable). The Carrie of old would not have behaved like this! Where has she gone? Something happens in this week's episode that makes me question her present state of mind even more — it's a sad day when MY life looks like a better proposition than Carrie Bradshaw's. Honestly, things had better take a radical 180, or I'm out for good. Writer Dennis Lehane first paired up with Taron Egerton for 2022's great limited series Black Bird. They've teamed up again for this atmospheric crime drama, all about the hunt for a serial arsonist — and it's also great. Egerton (also exec producer) plays arson investigator Dave Gudsen, who is paired with police detective Michelle Calderone (Emmy-nominated Jurnee Smollett) to try to get to the bottom of the deliberately lit fires. So far, so same-same, right? Not exactly. This series looks and feels very different to your bog-standard crime procedural. There's an intensity to the fire scenes that hints this is much more than a paint-by-numbers whodunit. Genuinely excited to see where this goes. Never heard about 2013's infamous 'Poop Cruise'? Oh boy, are you about to! This documentary charts what happened when an engine fire aboard a cruise ship left 4000 passengers stranded aboard a 'floating petri dish'. To say it was a s... show would be an understatement. Gross but fascinating. This film by Mariska Hargitay is a deeply personal look at the life and legacy of her screen siren mother, Jayne Mansfield, who died in a car accident at 34. Three-year-old Mariska was in the back of that car and survived. A fascinating story. If there's a better way to spend a Friday night than watching grisly crime dramas on ABC, I'm yet to find it. This six-parter, set in York, is all about autistic criminal records office worker Patience Evans (Ella Maisy Purvis), who teams up with police to use her unique brain to help solve crimes.
