Yellowstone Star Josh Lucas Marries Brianna Ruffalo in Vatican Wedding
and Brianna Ruffalo are saddling up for their next chapter.
Indeed, the Yellowstone star and the ABC7 Los Angeles Meteorologist tied the knot on July 18 during a picturesque ceremony in Vatican City.
'Mr. and Mrs.,' Brianna wrote on Instagram July 18 alongside several black-and-white photos from their elegant ceremony. 'Incredibly blessed to receive this sacrament together inside the heart of the Catholic Church and holy city.'
For his part, the Sweet Home Alabama actor—who sported a classic black tux while his wife donned a stunning strapless lace gown—gushed about their sweet romance in the comments.
'I love you,' he wrote. 'Easily one of the greatest days of my life. I am so so grateful.'
And on his own Instagram account, the 54-year-old shared more of a behind-the-scenes look into the moments surrounding their nuptials.
'A huge thank you to deeply talented @caterinaerrani_photography and to @weddings_italy @paolo_nassi @JinaneKafrouny who helped make the dream of wedding in the #vatican come true,' Lucas wrote on Instagram July 19 alongside a photo of him admiring his wife on the cobblestone streets of Vatican City. 'Many many people to thank for this to come.'

The couple's sweet ceremony comes one year after the pair—who made their romance public in 2023—got engaged during a romantic trip to Italy.
'Almost 2 years ago this fall, and with no expectations, Josh walked into my life,' Brianna, 34, wrote on Instagram shortly after he popped the question, 'and we knew almost immediately we had each found our person in a way we've never experienced—on every level.'
'This was the easiest and best question I've ever answered,' she continued. 'So, here's to forever with my love, my best friend. I can't wait to keep living this life with you.'
But while Brianna is her husband's biggest supporter in real life, she previously admitted that, when it comes to Sweet Home Alabama, she is team Patrick Dempsey all the way.
"From day one, she was like, 'Oh yeah, you were the other guy,'" Josh joked to E! News' Erin Lim Rhodes last March. "She was like, 'I didn't like you because you, like, stole her from Patrick.'"
And when they tried to watch the movie together, it didn't necessarily go as planned.
"We actually watched part of it once and she fell asleep, like, 10 minutes in and was still like, 'I'm still Team Patrick,'" he added. "And that was it."

Here's the real reason the Coldplay concert cheating scandal went absolutely mega-viral
It was the cuddle – then scuttle – seen 'round the world. The viral infamy that's engulfed Astronomer CEO Andy Byron's cringe moment with his HR chief at a Coldplay concert has been fueled by a thirst to see powerful execs get their comeuppance, media experts said. 'It was a viral antidote to the corporate cringe most people live and breathe,' digital consultant Dan Roy Carter told The Post. 'It was humanizing, humorous and ultimately a moment for the world to laugh at people in perceived positions of authority or power in an unsuspecting setting.' The unifying reaction was a classic case of shared 'schadenfreude,' where glee is derived from an enemy's misfortune, pointed out University of Southern California prof Jonathan Gratch. 3 Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot at the Coldplay concert. Grace Springer via Storyful The enemy in this case: The millionaire execs Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot. 'People hate executives these days and take pleasure in their pain (think Elon),' he added. People couldn't get enough. For instance, the Coldplay scandal has had twice as many social media mentions as one of the last big viral stories: Jeff Bezo's lavish Venice wedding to Lauren Sanchez, according to data compiled by analytics company Sprout Social. Google search volume for Andy Byron was so monumental in the days following the concert that other viral trends like the Hawk Tuah girl, Raygun and the Titan submersible paled in comparison. Footage of Byron, who has since resigned from the company, and Cabot rapidly spread across the internet when the pair was caught getting cozy at the band's Wednesday show at Gillette Stadium. The two were embracing, with Byron's arms wrapped around Cabot's chest, when the camera panned to them – leading the two execs to panic. Cabot's hands flew in front of her face while Byron hit the deck, prompting lead singer Chris Martin to speculate they may be 'having an affair.' 'He ducked down like shots were fired. It was funny to see. It was so childish,' said Carlos Ramos, a New York City music video producer. He added that the internet reveled in the ignorance of the two execs, contributing to the wildfire-like spread of the viral moment. 'They both didn't expect to be on a camera — which is ridiculous in this era — with so many people with phones and cameras. They just froze, caught up in the moment,' Ramos, 50, said. 3 The viral moment has dominated the internet for days. csuarez 'CEOs, HR chiefs are not necessarily popular as individuals or roles, this is where you get a certain amount of 'ooh busted,'' Syracuse professor of communication T. Makana Chock told The Post, agreeing with other experts in her field. She added that people, even before social media, are quick to judge others, adding to the buzz. 3 Even the Phillies took part in the fun. R A W S A L E R T S Chock also stressed the clip 'told a story in a very few seconds' that then allowed social media users to add their own commentary and creativity to the situation. In one popular iteration, the Philadelphia Phillies did a riff off the kiss-cam awkwardness. 'Every so often you get something that carries and develops a life of its own outside of the original context,' she said. 'It's a perfect storm.'

Should we feel weird about the Coldplay cheating drama?
is a culture writer interested in reality TV, movies, pop music, Black media, and celebrity culture. Previously, she wrote for the Daily Beast and contributed to several publications, including Vulture, W Magazine, and Bitch Media. What does it mean to be a private individual in public? Are we all just characters waiting to go viral? These questions have resurfaced following the instantly-infamous Jumbotron incident that occurred during a Coldplay concert last week. Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, who's married, and the company's head of human resources, Kristin Cabot, were caught cuddling before trying (and failing) to evade the camera. Chris Martin quipped, apparently accurately, that they acted like they were having an affair. Some, though, have taken a more hands-on approach to the drama. Once the concert footage went viral, users flooded the comments of Byron and Cabot's LinkedIn pages before they were taken down. Another Coldplay concertgoer sent TMZ additional footage of the couple canoodling. Users identified Byron's wife, flooding her social media, as well as a third Astronomer executive, who was spotted on the Jumbotron laughing at the ordeal. Understandably, a married CEO getting caught and subsequently resigning for having inappropriate relations with a subordinate hasn't warranted much sympathy. The ordeal is amusing to the extent that the players are largely unrelatable and seemingly thoughtless. Still, the fallout has been disconcerting to some. While the couple was exposed in a seemingly organic and accidental way, the speed at which the story escalated, with the help of online sleuths and even brands weighing in, demonstrated how easily personal matters can become public spectacles. It raises some obvious concerns about our relationship to privacy in a digital culture where the surveillance of strangers has been normalized and personal information is increasingly accessible. What happens to privacy when everything is available? What happens when exposing others is more and more commonly dressed up as fun? Since the early days of social media, average people have been at risk of becoming public, widely discussed figures overnight. Still, the advent of TikTok has made this a much more common occurrence — frequently without the permission of the people who go viral. The idea that you could be watched at any time but can never know when has gone from a philosophical prison design — Jeremy Bentham's concept of the panopticon— to a state of reality. In a 2023 BuzzFeed News story, reporter Clarissa-Jan Lim described this mostly TikTok-driven phenomenon as 'panopticontent,' where 'everything is content for the creating, and everyone is a nonplayer character in [users'] world[s].' In many cases, filming strangers has been proven to be a correct and necessary course of action. The Black Lives Matter movement was bolstered by citizens recording their negative interactions with police, for awareness-raising and proof in seeking justice. This seemed to inspire a surge in 'Karen' videos, exposing people for racist and other discriminatory behavior. However, post-pandemic, the tendency to pull out your phone and press record has descended into something much less urgent and more opportunistic. We've witnessed this before. At the height of tabloid culture in the '90s and early 2000s, we watched celebrities get hounded by paparazzi and have their personal lives examined with a microscope in magazines. Associate professor Jenna Drenten, who studies digital consumer culture at Loyola University Chicago, coined the term 'TikTok tabloid' to describe how this behavior has translated to the app in much more participatory fashion from observers. However, she says that users have created a power imbalance by subjecting regular people to this sort of spotlight. 'In the past, there was an implicit social contract: celebrities traded privacy for fame, and audiences felt justified in scrutinizing them,' says Drenten. 'But that logic doesn't cleanly apply to regular people caught in viral moments. And yet, the same infrastructure of judgment, spectacle, and moral commentary gets applied to them.' This behavior isn't just user-driven. It's often amplified and commodified by brands, as seen with Neon, Chipotle, and even betting platforms, like Polymarket, following the Coldplay incident. Drenten says that the 'blurring of public spectacle, private consequence, and corporate opportunism' is where things get even more 'ethically murky.' 'The viral attention economy is no longer limited to individuals or content creators,' she says. 'Brands are increasingly acting like culture-jacking spectators, helping to fuel the pile-on.' A larger problem often occurs after this content circulates and rakes in tons of views. The social mystery at the heart of any human drama routinely incites further engagement and sleuthing, with users becoming participants in the saga. As with the Astronomer CEO and his family, spectators usually end up doxxing the people involved, whether that's exposing their job positions or their home addresses. As this behavior gets swept up in more socially-sanctioned reactions (like jokes from regular people and brands), it affirms an increasing loss of etiquette around personal information, one that's been spearheaded by tech corporations, according to one Cornell University professor. Helen Nissenbaum, author of Privacy in Context: Technology, Policy, and the Integrity of Social Life, says tech companies have been influential in shaping our views on privacy based on what's accessible to us, creating an 'all bets are off' approach to spreading information. 'The big tech platforms have gotten away with a really poor conception of privacy,' Nissenbaum says. 'It's allowed them to say things like, 'If it's in public, anything goes.' This is how OpenAI defended itself by saying, 'We're scraping stuff on the open web without asking.'' Apps have normalized collecting and sharing users' personal information to target advertisers. There are now websites, like Did My Friends Vote, where you can easily but not always accurately access someone's voting history. These issues around theft and consent are playing out in the development of generative AI. The New York Times is currently suing OpenAI for using their original content to train its popular AI tool, ChatGPT. This sense of entitlement trickles down to practically anyone who owns a phone. Nissenbaum says, as a result, we need to adopt a 'new theory' and new 'social norms' around privacy. One way is to remind people that these extreme levels of surveillance and information-gathering are, in her words, 'creepy.' The consequence is a world where people feel less free to be their authentic selves in public, whether that's dressing how they want or attending a protest. 'When we get to this point where we accept that people can take videos, take photos, post it online for ICE or NSA or whoever to grab those photos, now we're in a police state,' she says. For now, the Coldplay Jumbotron incident might warrant some genuine laughs. But if we value not only our privacy but our sense of individuality, our impulse to amplify strangers' drama could probably use some reflection.

Nicola Peltz Beckham Poses Nude in Sultry Bathtub Photo
Originally appeared on E! Online Bare it like Beckham. Nicola Peltz Beckham got pulses racing with a completely nude photo of herself in the bathtub during her European vacation with husband Brooklyn Peltz Beckham. The 30-year-old posed strategically in the sultry snap taken from above, which showed her folding her left leg over her right and covering her chest with her left hand, so as not to reveal too much. Her head rested on her right hand as she pouted for the camera which, it turns out, was being operated by Brooklyn. Under the July 22 Instagram carousel post—which she captioned "best memories," along with a bunch of emojis—the 26-year-old son of David Beckham and Victoria Beckham commented, "I took the photo in the bath" along with a heart emoji. He followed up with a second comment that read, "Love you xx." In the following photo, Nicola posed topless with a towel wrapped around her waist as she held a lychee martini and looked into a bathroom mirror. The rest of the photo dump included sun-filled solo shots of Nicola in a variety of skin-baring ensembles, as well as a few couple photos with Brooklyn including one in which he's shirtless himself. The couple's fun-filled vacation comes amid speculation of a feud between them and the rest of Brooklyn's family—including David and Victoria, as well as his siblings Romeo Beckham, 22, Cruz Beckham, 20, and Harper Beckham, 13.

The couple's fun-filled vacation comes amid speculation of a feud between them and the rest of Brooklyn's family—including David and Victoria, as well as his siblings Romeo Beckham, 22, Cruz Beckham, 20, and Harper Beckham, 13. However, amid the rumors tension, a source close to Brooklyn—who married Nicola back in 2022—recently shot down claims that he had gone no-contact with his family ahead of his father's knighthood ceremony by King Charles III on June 13. 'This seems to be another deliberate attempt to misrepresent the truth,' the insider told E! News last month, 'and it only serves to distract from this honor being bestowed on Brooklyn's father.' Indeed, the couple has gone above and beyond to try to curtail false claims being made about them online. Earlier this month, Brooklyn and Nicola hired a lawyer to 'combat the spread of misinformation,' as speculation about where they stand with his family intensified after they skipped out on David's 50th birthday celebration May 2.
