Who Won ‘The Masked Singer' 2025? See The Stars Unmasked In The Finale
In The Masked Singer 2025 finale, only four contestants made it to the final episode with hopes of being crowned the winner: Pearl, Boogie Woogie, Mad Scientist, and Coral.
The final episode of Season 13, which aired on May 7, began with judge Rita Ora performing a cover of Chappell Roan's anthem 'Pink Pony Club," with finalists Boogie Woogie, Coral, Mad Scientist Monster and Pearl also joining in.
After each finalist sang, the studio audience and juding panel (consisting of Ora, Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy and Robin Thicke) voted for their favorite performance. The two contestants with the fewest votes were unmasked, while the remaining two performed once more before a winner was announced.

Pearl was crowned the winner of The Masked Singer Season 13 and was revealed to be country singer Gretchen Wilson in the finale.
One major clue to the singer's identity came when she showed off a pair of sparkly pants gifted to her by Dolly Parton. 'It's a pair of pants for the record books,' Pearl said. 'Not only did my idol Dolly Parton give them to me, but I also got to perform with her while I was wearing them.'
While names like Faith Hill, Kacey Musgraves, Madonna and Shaina Twain were floated around as possible identities for Pearl, ultimately, only Thicke guessed correctly.
"I am floored," the country singer said finding out she'd won. 'I almost hit the floor.'
Before her her identity was unmasked, Pearl spoke in her clue package about her laid-back, unapologetic personality and the challenges she faced at the start of her career.
"Every time I've put on this Pearl costume I think it's so strange that I pulled off being this bejeweled princess," she explained. "It's so unlike me. I'd say the hoodie and sweatpants is more in line with who I am. What can I say? I'm gritty, raw, unapologetic. I've always been that way. And a lot of times, especially when I was first starting out, it stood in the way of my success."
Wilson also recalled one moment early in her career when, during a performane for a record exec, she thought he wrote down 'no,' when he'd actually written down 'now' – and wanted to sign her then and there. 'After all these years, I think people still don't know what I'm capable of until now,' Pearl added.
In the finale, Pearl sang 'Black Horse and the Cherry Tree' by KT Tunstall, earning praise from Jeong, who called the contestant 'the Meryl Streep of Masked Singer.' Her second cover was 'I'll Stand by You' by The Pretenders.
During the show, host Nick Cannon announced that each finalist would receive a phone call from a loved one after their performance. Pearl's call came from her daughter, who told her 'how unbelievably proud I am of you," bringing Pearl to tears.

Mad Scientist Monster chose to sing a cover Sugarland's 'Stay,' which Thicke called the 'best vocal of the season.' He also received a heartfelt ring from his parents, who expressed their support. 'You've done a great job doing something totally different and wish you the best as you go forward and want you to go ahead and knock this thing out of the park and win it,' his dad said.
Ahead of his big reveal, the contestant shared his love for the outdoors. 'I grew up on and near the waters and I love fishing with my dad still to this day.'
While Billy Ray Cyrus and Sam Hunt came up as potential names, Mad Scientist Monster was revealed to be Florida Georgia Line's Brian Kelley.

Coral delivered a rendition of Audrey Hepburn's classic 'Moon River' and received an supportive call from her dad. 'No matter what happens tonight, you really already won,' he told her. 'I'm just so incredibly proud of you. Watching you on stage, I cannot help but remember that young girl singing and dancing to Broadway songs in our living room thinking that maybe her big dreams are possible."
While the judges guessed names like Hilary Duff, Selena Gomez, Hailee Steinfeld or Rachel Zegler, Coral turned out to be Disney Channel and Zombies star Meg Donnelly.

Boogie Woogie performed George Michael's 'Freedom! 90," with McCarthy telling him he 'brought the house down.' Meanwhile, his phone call was from one of his daughters. 'Daddy, you need to win! You're doing such a good job," she told him. Boogie Woogie said that he wanted to show his kids that 'positivity and sincerity can win.'
As the second finalist, he returned to the stage to sing Lewis Capaldi's 'Love the Hell Out of You." While the panel tossed names like Darren Criss, Andy Samberg or Ryan Tedder, Boogie Woogie turned out to be none other than 'Honey, I'm Good' singer-songwriter Andy Grammer.

Meghan Markle Under Pressure as New Wine Launches: 'Credibility Issues'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Meghan Markle is preparing for the release of he second rosé wine after past sell out runs caused what an expert told Newsweek were "catastrophic credibility issues." The Duchess of Sussex is preparing to launch her As Ever 2024 Rosé after the 2023 vintage sold out its whole run in minutes. Her latest offering will go on sale at 12pm PT and 3pm ET and can be bought from her online shop. Meghan Markle is seen at a royal engagement in Asni, Morocco, on February 24, 2019. Meghan Markle is seen at a royal engagement in Asni, Morocco, on February 24, 2019. Pool/Samir Hussein/WireImage Why It Matters This will be Meghan's fourth product run and all have so far sold out in minutes, sparking concerns that customers interested in her products may get frustrated and lose interest. At the same time, detractors have argued she is only offering limited stock and with no official sales figures available it is not possible to verify the size of each batch of goods. What to Know Eric Schiffer, chair of Reputation Management Consultants, told Newsweek thatMeghan needs to move past the sell out runs in order to build an authentic relationship with her customers. "These product sales are creating catastrophic credibility issues because it all looks like it's manufactured to sell out. "So, it's like these kids on a corner who open a lemonade stand and they have one glass of lemonade, OK you were successful but no one believes it. "She's doubling down on scarcity theater. They already have credibility issues so why set things up to look fake. Roll the dice. Be a real entrepreneur." A Sussex source has previously told Newsweek the talk on social media about Meghan's product launches being deliberately small is "just complete nonsense." After the first wine's release the source said "there's still a level of frustration," that it sold out so fast but the number of bottles "was significant." "It's quite extraordinary really how it's sold out," they added. "We thought it would sell out but for it to happen so quickly again is testament to the popularity of the brand and the duchess in the U.S." Meghan previously told the Aprire With Emma Grede podcast in June: "Well, we can restock what we had at those same quantities but then I'll have another sell out and I don't want that for people. "I think scarcity is great if it happens organically at the onset but at a certain point, even being consumer-minded, I would be fatigued if that kept happening and I was going to a website. "So I said, 'OK, let's take this opportunity to grow, to have exponentially more skews as well as more inventory.' "And that's what we've been doing right back to making sure we could scale up to that level and have the quality meet the quantity which was very key." What As Ever Said About New Rosé Wine Meghan's As Ever brand announced the new wine in a newsletter on August 4, her birthday: "Today, our founder celebrates another year (Happy Birthday, Meghan!) and tomorrow, we're raising a glass to celebrate our newest release! "We are thrilled to share that our 2024 Napa Valley Rosé is available tomorrow, Tuesday August 5 at 12 PM PT / 3 PM ET. "Harvested under the California sun, this dazzling vintage embodies everything we love – it's where timeless elegance meets the spirit of summer. "We've worked thoughtfully to bring these exceptional bottles to you, and more of your other favorite As ever products are also being restocked shortly. There is so much to celebrate, and we're honored to share these special moments with you. "Cheers to birthdays, a new vintage, and the last golden weeks of summer."

Jack Osbourne admitted he's ‘not close at all' with sister Aimee days before Ozzy's death
Jack Osbourne opened up about his relationship with his rarely-seen sister, Aimee, shortly before their legendary father passed away last month. Jack, 39, admitted that he and Aimee, 41, were 'not close at all' during an episode of Katie Maloney and Dayna Kathan's 'Disrespectfully' podcast released July 16. 'We don't have a great relationship. She'll be the first to tell you that,' he said one week before Ozzy's death. 'So, it's no secret.'

AARON PARFITT / BACKGRID While Jack and his other older sister, Kelly, 40, garnered fame after starring in MTV's 'The Osbournes' with parents Ozzy and Sharon, 72, Aimee chose not to participate in the show during its four-season run from 2002 to 2005. Advertisement Instead, she became an 'obscure, mysterious, moody' musician, according to her brother. 'She deemed doing a show on MTV as low-hanging fruit, and she was like, 'I'm not going to be seen riding coattails.' That's how she perceived it,' the Black Sabbath icon's son explained. 11 Jack and Aimee Osbourne during Los Angeles Fashion Week in 2004.

'So, she just dug her heels in and wanted to be relatively private and obscure.' However, Jack admitted that he 'never' asked his oldest sister if she regretted not starring in 'The Osbournes' – although he speculated she did. 'There must be a level of like, 'My life probably would have been different than what it is if I'd have done that.' I don't know. I mean, I would feel like I would have regretted it,' Jack explained during the podcast. 11 The Osbourne family at the 1997 Kerrang Awards in London, England.

'There is just not that level or kind of excitement around TV anymore like there was back then. When you had a hit TV show in the early 2000s, it was a game-changer.' Ozzy and Sharon's oldest daughter opened up about her decision not to appear in 'The Osbournes' during an interview with the NYC classic rock radio station Q104.3 back in 2020.

'And for me personally, and for who I am, you know, as far as morally and also just to give myself a chance to actually develop into a human being as opposed to just being remembered for being a teenager, it didn't really line up with what I saw my future as.' 'It definitely worked great for the rest of my family,' she added. 'But for me and who I am, I just knew it was never something that I would have been able to consider realistically.' Aimee later broke cover with her siblings following the shocking death of their beloved dad, who passed away on July 22 following a lengthy battle with Parkinson's disease and other health issues.
