Jaime King is engaged
Jaime King is engaged. The 46-year-old actress is in a relationship with investor Austin Sosa, and PEOPLE has confirmed that the pair is set to tie the knot. A source told the outlet: "She is very close with his family and was staying with his parents after she moved out of her Los Angeles apartment earlier this year." A representative for the Hart of Dixie star - who was initially married to Kyle Newman from 2007 until 2023 and has James, 11, as well as nine-year-old Leo with him - later confirmed the news but also reminded fans that she would prefer privacy at this time. The rep said: "Jaime is especially happy to share this moment with her children, who have a loving bond with Austin and his family," her rep said. "As always, her sons remain her top priority, and she kindly asks for privacy as they move forward together with love and gratitude." After losing sole physical custody of her children, Jaime admitted that the whole battle had been "scary" for her and she didn't think about any of that when she first tied the knot. Speaking to Jana Kramer on her Whine Down podcast, she said: "It's terrifying, when to be able to be free means that you have to pay a very extreme price, and I'm not just talking about financially. "It's very upsetting, and I will do everything in my power to change this system, and it's not a will. I'm going to. There's no price to pay for freedom." My duty as a mother is to protect my children. And that's all that matters to me. This is scary." "I just didn't know when I got married at a young age. I just didn't know that that the world works like this. I didn't know that legal systems work like this. "And not to sound like some kind of neophyte, but I thought that, you know, when you choose to love someone, then you love that person. You build a family with them, and, you trust them."

Jaime King engaged to new man after losing physical custody of her sons in acrimonious divorce
is apparently ready to walk down the aisle all over again with a new man despite recently losing physical custody of her two sons following a two-year, acrimonious divorce battle with ex-husband Kyle Newman. The 46-year-old Next Model reportedly got engaged to Family Office investor Austin Sosa after 'staying with his parents' when her landlord Sheila Irani locked her out of her LA home for failing to pay over $42K in back rent back in March. 'She is very close with his family,' a source told People on Tuesday. The mag published a picture of Jaime rocking her new diamond sparkler following an appointment at Sally Hershberger Salon in West Hollywood on Monday. Not much is known about Austin aside from his prior work for financial institutions like Citi, Bank of America, and Merrill Lynch but he might be LDS considering he attended Brigham Young University - according to his LinkedIn. King has only tagged Sosa in one Instagram post from June 8 in which she thanked him along with four 'family forever' friends and wrote: 'My God, I am the luckiest and most great mother ever.' The 46-year-old Next Model reportedly got engaged to Family Office investor Austin Sosa (pictured) after 'staying with his parents' when her landlord Sheila Irani locked her out of her LA home for failing to pay over $42K in back rent back in March In March, an LA Superior Court judge granted Kyle sole physical custody of their two sons - James Knight, 11; and Leo Thames, turning 10 next week - while the Lights Out actress will continue to share legal custody. Jaime's supervised visitation entails seeing little James and Leo 'three times a week in specific hour blocks' because she failed to complete a six-month drug/alcohol program with weekly testing, aftercare, and a two-step program as well as a 26-week parenting program, individual counseling and conjoint counseling. 'My duty as a mother is to protect my children. And that's all that matters to me. This is scary,' King lamented on the Whine Down podcast April 10. 'I just didn't know when I got married at a young age. I just didn't know that the world works like this. I didn't know that legal systems work like this. And not to sound like some kind of neophyte, but I thought that, you know, when you choose to love someone, then you love that person. You build a family with them, and, you trust them.' The Nebraska-born blonde alleged that Newman - who called her a 'chronic drug addict and alcoholic' in legal docs - misrepresented the early part of their relationship in court in order to receive sole custody. 'It's terrifying, when to be able to be free means that you have to pay a very extreme price, and I'm not just talking about financially,' Jaime continued. 'It's very upsetting, and I will do everything in my power to change this system, and it's not a will. I'm going to. There's no price to pay for freedom.' The 49-year-old music video director claims he went broke supporting their sons on his own as she repeatedly failed to pay him the court-ordered $429/month in child support or $1K/month in spousal support. The Lights Out actress' supervised visitation entails seeing little James and Leo 'three times a week in specific hour blocks' because she failed to complete a six-month drug/alcohol program, a 26-week parenting program, and more Following 13 years of marriage, Jaime filed for divorce from Kyle on May 18, 2020 - five days after he officially began dating Cynthia 'Cyn' Nabozny (pictured in 2024) who, at 32, is 17 years younger Following 13 years of marriage, King filed for divorce from Kyle on May 18, 2020 - five days after he officially began dating Cynthia 'Cyn' Nabozny who, at 32, is 17 years younger.

Career-wise, the White Chicks alum last portrayed Amy Bledsoe in Marianna Palka's cancer dramedy Love, Danielle which next screens at the Woods Hole Film Festival in Massachusetts on July 29.

For Colourpop, Dupe Culture & Community Reign Supreme
LOS ANGELES, CA - MARCH 24: A general view of atmosphere at Jaime King x ColourPop Launch #ALCHEMY ... More at Chateau Marmont on March 24, 2016 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo byfor ColourPop) When it comes to makeup, it's no secret that the field is oversaturated. At every turn, a celebrity is starting a new beauty brand, or cult-classics are releasing new state-of-the-art products, touting luxury and high-end. In 2024, the global cosmetics market generated an estimated $646.20 billion in revenue, with the U.S. market alone accounting for $100 billion. However, despite the high numbers, the beauty industry is beginning to see a shift in the desire for luxury cosmetics. Dupe culture has become popular over the last year, as consumers search for ways to achieve the same trending makeup looks while saving every penny they can. Roughly one-third of all makeup users utilize dupes, and this number climbs to almost half for millennials and Gen Z, indicating a shift. Consumers are no longer relying on the household name a brand may carry, but rather on whether they can achieve the same results for less. While luxury brands struggle to remain innovative and beat the dupe culture trend, one California brand has thrived off of it. Cult Classics Founded in California, Colourpop Cosmetics is known for its colorful and affordable products, from eyeshadow to gel liners, foundation, and more. True to its name, the brand is known for its eclectic and colorful collaborations, some of which include the New York Knicks, Winx Club, and most recently, New Moon of the famous Twilight series. The brand first gained popularity in 2014 with the release of its Super Shock Shadow. The now cult-favorite and best-selling item taunted something that had never been done before: a creamy, high-pigmented shadow for less than $10. It was almost blasphemous. 'When we launched with the crazy idea to sell $5 eyeshadows online, we were able to build a direct connection to our loyal community–something we've never lost sight of,' says Vivian Weng, Brand President at ColourPop. Weng's analysis of the community is spot-on. At the time of launch, Colourpop took a gamble. For consumers, colorful packaging and an affordable version in the midst of high-end hype drew curiosity. 'Back in 2014, I was going to IMATS frequently and blogging, and in the whole MAC world. I loved me some variety of color, but I wanted it to be cruelty-free free and ColourPop came out with their super shock shadows,' says Emma, account owner of Colourpopcult. 'This was a novelty at the time, to have a cushy, creamlike product that was both pigmented and affordable. They were $5 each, which made it an easy addiction to collect every shade, every drop. There were even some crazy conspiracies because how could they be so inexpensive?' The shadows exploded, and Colourpop quickly grew to fame. Single shadows quickly turned into full palettes, they released foundations, blushes, shadow sticks, and lip products, all while built on the promise of affordability that didn't compromise quality. A Colorful Community While far-out at the time, the idea worked. According to ECDB, ColourPop's online store generated $147 million in revenue in 2024. The e-commerce world saw a boom during the pandemic; however, as the economy faces new challenges amid inflation and tariffs, the rate of growth has started to slow compared to pre-pandemic times. However, the California brand stands a chance against taking a hit among the harsh waters, according to analysts. 'Colourpop's business model of offering affordable, high-quality makeup products is sustainable, especially in the short to medium term. However, its long-term success ultimately depends on their ability to innovate and stay ahead of trends while maintaining product quality and affordability,' says Anna Yen, CFA at MoneyLion and analyst. 'Colourpop has a good chance of lasting long as long as they continue to meet consumer demands and adapt to market changes.' As dupe culture began to explode within the last two years, the brand would see even more praise. Glowing reviews of their lip masks, which were an alternative for the popular Laneige sleeping masks populated over YouTube, while the recent heart-topped blushes that envied Rare Beauty's Soft Pinch blush flew off the shelves at Ulta Beauty. Open any Colourpop reel on Instagram or trending TikTok video, and the response speaks for itself. Tens of thousands of views and comments flooded with heart eyes and comments pouring praise. The brand even now has dedicated fan pages, including Colourpop WOC and Emma's account, consumers who have dedicated themselves to the brand and keeping up with every release, and providing swatches and creating bright and bold looks. 'We focus on building relationships that feel authentic and mutually beneficial, prioritizing partnerships that amplify our creative message, while oftentimes leaning into nostalgia, emotion, and whimsy,' Weng reveals. The brand thrives heavily on influencer relationships and licensing partnerships, with recent partnerships with former Dance Moms stars Brooke and Paige Hyland. It even tugs on consumer heartstrings with nostalgic cartoon collaborations, including Winnie the Pooh and The Powerpuff Girls, to name a few. 'They found a niche with duping products but they also have great ideas and are innovators in the field,' Emma continues. 'I don't see them just as a dupe company, it would be a disservice to reduce them to that. Their creative team is always hard at work with breaking the mold in terms of collabs and different types of products for all skin tones.' As makeup brands continue to face challenges to remain afloat, from the rise in tariffs to making sure their products are inclusive under the watchful and critical eye of influencers, the West Coast-based brand believes that no matter how new the product or how fancy the packaging, success boils down to one thing: community. 'The beauty industry is very tight knit so we like to purposefully review what our community is saying and take it into account,' says Weng of Colourpop. 'Versus simply replicating what is already available.'
