NEED TO KNOW

• They got back together in 2015 and ultimately wed in 2022, but she didn't reveal that they'd gotten married until 2026

• Ross, a retired Muay Thai fighter, inspired Carano's MMA career

Gina Carano's marriage to Kevin Ross was more than two decades in the making.

The actress first dated Ross, a retired Muay Thai fighter and kickboxer, for several years in the early 2000s. After rekindling their relationship, the two married in August 2022 — something she didn't reveal until four years later in March 2026.

At a press conference in Los Angeles for her May 2026MMA fightwithRonda Rousey, Carano shared that in the years since her retirement, she "moved up to Montana" and got married. (Carano's last fight was in 2009 against Cris Cyborg, perESPN.)

“I got married to my first and last love, Kevin Ross,” she toldreporters. “And it was the best thing I've ever done. So now you all know. I'm married.”

Prior to her announcement,Carano'slast-known relationshipwas withHenry Cavill, whom she split from in 2014, perE! Online.

In February 2021, Carano, also an actress, was fired from the Disney+ seriesThe Mandalorianafter shefaced backlash for controversial social media posts. She later sued her former employer for wrongful termination and discrimination in 2024 andsettled the lawsuitthe following year.

So who is Gina Carano's husband? Here's everything to know about Kevin Ross and his relationship with the actress.

He was born in Pennsylvania

Ross was born in Reading, Pa., on July 27, 1980, per hisbio. Growing up, he moved “every couple of months,” and he “went to so many different schools.”

“We'd move for various reasons. There was a lot going on. I grew up all over the country,” he explained on theAuthentic Adversity Podcastin April 2023.

When he was 14, Ross moved in with his dad in Georgia. Then, they relocated to Las Vegas.

He is a retired Muay Thai fighter and kickboxer

Ross began training in Muay Thai in January 2003 at Master Toddy's in Las Vegas, per his bio.

“I was always drawn to it and it always intrigued me a lot,” Ross shared on theAuthentic Adversity Podcast. “But it did seem so far from anything I could or would ever do.”

Ross went on to have a career as a Muay Thai fighter and kickboxer, which included training and competing globally.

His nickname “The Soul Assassin” came after his first professional fight in Mexico, Ross toldMMA Maniain a March 2013 interview.

“I had a crazy fight out there and some dude after the fight came up to me and said that should be my nickname just cause of way I fought,” he shared.

He was voted Muay Thai North American Fighter of the Year in December 2010 and held multiple titles throughout his career until retiring in June 2021.

He introduced Carano to MMA fighting

Carano and Ross first began dating on May 29, 2001, per hisInstagram. When Ross began training in Muay Thai in 2003, he also inspired Carano to pursue a career as a mixed martial artist.

“Being a fighter changed his life completely,” Carano told theLas Vegas Sunof her ex in July 2009. “In one night he just made the decision to stop everything that he was doing and start something that he always wanted to do, and that inspired me to eventually sign up.”

However, their careers later drove them apart romantically. They ultimately split four years after they started dating, per theNew York Post.

“[Fans] don't see the sacrificing of friends and family,” Ross told theLas Vegas Sun. “Having to be in the gym all the time, not being able to go and hang out with your friends. Most people have no clue what it really takes to be a fighter.”

However, they remained close friends at the time. “He really did start off my career and gave me meaning to my life,” Carano added. “It's weird that it happened, I don't know if it wasn't for him. He's the kind of person who in one day completely just changed his life and that affected mine.”

He married Carano in 2022

Carano and Ross privately got back together around 2015, per theNew York Post.

The day after Carano's surprise marriage announcement, Ross revealed more information about their nuptials, telling the outlet that he and Carano had said “I do” at a courthouse in August 2022.

“We didn't even tell our family about it for a few months,” he shared. “We just wanted to keep it to ourselves.”

He said this was due to Carano's public life, saying, "We wanted to do something for ourselves and not tell anybody.”

“It was nice keeping it a secret,” he explained. “Something only we knew. Nobody knew we were married I don't think for like a year or so. We didn't tell anybody.”

The couple had previously intended to hold a “big wedding” in 2025, but put things on hold as Carano's match with Rousey neared.

Ross added, “We got the important part out of the way, so we're not in a rush to do it. Whenever it feels right and the time's right.”

Jack Schlossberg says he'll never process sister Tatiana's death: 'She was my best friend'

Kennedy heir Jack Schlossberg, the son of President John F. Kennedy's daughter Caroline, lost his older sister, Tatiana, in December.

Key Points

• Tatiana Schlossberg, 35, died of cancer. The environmental journalist was a mother of two.

• Political candidate Jack Schlossberg said Tatiana was his best friend.

While Jack Schlossberg is focused on winning a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, he can't stop thinking about his sister Tatiana's death.

"I don't think I'll ever process it," he toldVanity Fairin an interview published Friday. "The world will never be the same for me, not only since she passed away, but since she was diagnosed with cancer about two years ago."

Tatiana Schlossbergdied Dec. 30, after announcing in November 2025 that she had been diagnosed with cancer, acute myeloid leukemia, more than a year earlier. Doctors told her the prognosis was terminal.

"She was my best friend. We could finish each other's sentences," Schlossberg, 33, said of losing one of his two sisters. "I miss her all the time. Every day I think about her."

Schlossberg has said previously that his sister had told him he "better win" in his campaign.

His grief has served as a motivation.

"It's made me all the more motivated, engaged, and focused on making the most out of my life, and I think that there's no higher calling than public service," the grandson of PresidentJohn F. Kennedysaid. "To me, I think politics is a noble profession, and one that I would be fantastic at serving this district as. So she wanted me to win, and I intend to honor her by doing just that."

The proximity of Schlossberg's loss has shown him, he said, that "it could have just as easily been me."

He feels an obligation to himself and his sister "to make the most out of my precious life and all that I’ve been given in this life to give back to others and make sure that we can fund cures for the type of cancer that took her life, and for other types of cancer."

During Tatiana's life, she worked as an environmental journalist at theNew York Times. She published the non-fiction bookInconspicuous Consumption: The Environmental Impact You Didn't Know You Hadin 2019.

The emotional essay in which she disclosed her illness was published in theNew Yorker.

"Mostly, I try to live and be with them now," she wrote of her family, which included husband George Moran and their two children, Edwin and Josephine. "But being in the present is harder than it sounds, so I let the memories come and go. So many of them are from my childhood that I feel as if I'm watching myself and my kids grow up at the same time."

Ashley Judd, 58, Throws a Party for Her ‘Inner 12-Year-Old’: ‘There Was No Parent Protecting That Little Girl’

Ashley Judd puts a nostalgic twist on her 58th birthday

NEED TO KNOW

• The Emmy-nominated actress, activist and New York Times bestselling author explained why she chose to celebrate her inner child

• “We backfilled what was always missing and no longer is, thanks to vulnerable imagination,” she said

Ashley Juddis celebrating her inner child after turning another year older.

On Tuesday, May 12, the Emmy-nominated actress shared a recap on social media showing her followers, friends and family how she spent her 58th birthday on April 19.

“My inner 12-year-old was ready to receive love, care, attunement, delight, protection, and provision,” theDouble Jeopardystar captioned theInstagram carousel. She also referenced her birthday the year prior when she honored her “inner nine-year-old.”

Judd sat in a chair outdoors, smiling beside a cake with brown and yellow icing, in the first photo. Colorful candles with the number “12” were placed atop the celebratory dessert.

“Have you ever considered, from your adult perspective, restaging for your sweet inner child an experience she either never had at all?” she asked. “Or an experience that did not unfold with the safety and attention it should have?”

The actress, the daughter ofNaomi Juddand Michael Ciminella, confessed that the tradition is something that she deeply enjoys.

“Many of us grew up with unmet needs,” Judd wrote. “Today, as adults, we can listen carefully to those missings, identify what happened that should not have happened — and, crucially, what did not happen that should have happened — supplying that, now, with love and humor to ourselves.”

While theKiss the Girlsactress remembered “loving some elements” of her time in the sixth grade, she claimed not to “remember any of my birthdays growing up.”

Another one of Judd's favorite memories as a child was learning to square dance in P.E. Unfortunately, she said the positive experiences didn't carry over into her home life.

“There was no parent (or adult) supporting, nurturing, guiding and reinforcing my learning, delighting in, or protecting that little girl,” Judd wrote.

Judd has discussed her childhood in the past, including in her 2011 memoirAll That Is Bitter and Sweet. During a2024 White House event for the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention, Judd said her early experiences brought an "onset of childhood depression," and the "feeling of not wanting to be here." However, she has healed with the help of treatment and "had a different outcome than my mother." Naomidied by suicide in April 2022at 76.

TheSomeone Like Youactress said “sensitive, playful people” helped her to redo her 12th birthday this past weekend.

“We backfilled what was always missing and no longer is, thanks to vulnerable imagination,” she wrote.

Their day also included laughing, frolicking and square dancing, as documented in her caption as well as within the content of her Instagram carousel.

Judd continued to recap details in her comment section, sharing that the birthday party also included nostalgic elements such as “vintage Goody hairbrushes to sing unabashedly into the mirror to Casey Kasem Top 40 hits.”

However, her “carefully vetted” playlist did remove “My Sharona,” which she described as having “gross” lyrics.

“Children need to be seen, witnessed, validated, encouraged, protected, guided, and supported,” she continued, later adding, “Today, it is safe for me to feel the innocence of the childhood I always deserved.”

Oil edges up as investors focus on Trump-Xi meeting in Beijing

By Shadia Nasralla

LONDON, May 14 (Reuters) - Oil prices edged up on Thursday, with market participants focused on the meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping to ‌scour for progress on a resolution for the Iran war.

Both leaders agreed in a meeting ‌that the Strait of Hormuz must be open for the free flow of energy, according to a White House readout of the ​summit on Thursday.

Brent crude futures were up 98 cents, or 0.9%, to $106.61 a barrel at 0916 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate futures added 81 cents, or 0.8%, to $101.83.

Both contracts fell on Wednesday as investors worried about possible U.S. interest rate hikes as higher fuel prices spur inflationary pressures. Brent crude futures lost more than $2 ‌a barrel, while WTI futures dropped ⁠more than $1.

Xi told Trump that trade talks were making progress at the start of the two-day summit on Thursday, but warned that disagreement over Taiwan could send relations ⁠down a dangerous path.

"Oil prices are in a wait-and-see mode," ING analysts said in a note on Thursday, adding that the market could be pinning too much hope on the U.S.-China talks yielding some positive results on the ​U.S.-Israeli ​war on Iran.

The Strait of Hormuz, a key energy ​gateway, has been largely shut since the war ‌broke out at the end of February.

"Failure to make meaningful progress on reopening the strait could leave the U.S. with few options other than renewed military action," IG analyst Tony Sycamore said in a note.

Iran, meanwhile, appears to have tightened its control over the strait, cutting deals with Iraq and Pakistan to ship oil and liquefied natural gas from the region.

A Chinese supertanker carrying 2 million barrels of Iraqi crude ‌sailed through the strait on Wednesday after being stranded in ​the Gulf for more than two months.

A Panama-flagged crude oil tanker ​managed by Japanese refining group Eneos <5020.T> has ​also passed through the strait, ship-tracking data from LSEG showed on Thursday, the second ‌instance of a Japan-linked oil ship making it ​through.

Global oil supply will ​fall short of total demand this year as inventories are drained at an unprecedented pace, the International Energy Agency said on Wednesday.

Meanwhile in the U.S., crude inventories fell by 4.3 million barrels ​to 452.9 million barrels for the ‌week ended May 8 on rising exports, the EIA said, although distillates stockpiles rose, in ​opposition to expectations of a draw. [EIA/S]

Katharine McPhee Serenades Spencer Pratt at Lavish Fundraiser for His Mayoral Campaign

Katharine McPhee sang her own version of Tina Turner's "The Best" in support of Spencer Pratt as he runs for mayor of Los Angeles

NEED TO KNOW

• McPhee and her husband, David Foster, hosted a fundraiser for Pratt's campaign at their home

• Pratt announced his run for mayor in January, challenging incumbent Karen Bass and blaming her for the widespread destruction of the Los Angeles wildfires, which destroyed Pratt's home and many others

Katharine McPheesang her support forSpencer Prattas the former reality star continues his campaign for mayor of Los Angeles.

McPhee, 42, was recentlyfilmedputting her own spin on Tina Turner's 1989 track "The Best" in support of Pratt, also 42, who officiallyannounced his runfor mayor in January.

"You're simply the best / Better than all the rest / Better than Karen Bass / And Nithya Raman," theAmerican Idolalum sang, referring to incumbent Bass and City Councilmember Raman, who are also running for mayor.

"He's gonna fix this broken L.A.," she sang as her husband,David Foster, accompanied her on piano. At one point, McPhee encouraged the fundraiser crowd to join in, exclaiming, "Sing it with me!"

Pratt was seated behind McPhee during her performance, and could be seen nodding along to the music and tapping his foot as she sang.

McPhee and Foster hosted the fundraiser earlier this week at their home. One America News Network's Alicia Summers posted footage of the event to Instagram, captioning herpost, "You know the tide is turning in California when@DavidFosterand@katharinefosteropen their home and write a song for@SpencerPratt👏"

Summers added, "La La Land is ready for a plot twist."

Pratt launched his campaign one year after he and his wife, Heidi Montag, lost the home they shared with sonsRyker, 3, andGunner Stone, 8, in theLos Angeles fireslast year.

The reality star vowed to "expose the system" in January, telling his supporters, "We're going into every dark corner of L.A. politics and disinfecting the city with our life and when we are done, L.A. is going to be camera ready again."

He has sincesurpassed Bass, 72, in campaign fundingfor the Los Angeles mayoral race, raising $539,616.85 since January, according to campaign records reviewed by PEOPLE last month. By comparison, Bass raised $494,734.76 for her campaign since January, according toThe Los Angeles Times.

Pratt, a registered Republican, is running as an independent in the race. He recentlycompared his own political riseto that of former PresidentBarack Obama.

“I have two awards from my community, President Obama actually didn’t even have awards when he was a community organizer,” Pratt, 42, toldNBC Los Angeles’ Conan Nolan in a televised interview on Friday, May 8. “He was able to become a senator and then a president for eight years. So, I feel like him and I have the same experience.”

Pratt also attempted to shake his reality star past after appearing onThe Hills, as well asCelebrity Big BrotherandMarriage Boot Camp.

He told NBC Los Angeles he is a “community advocate,” his occupation listed on the June 2 ballot.

“I’m no longer a reality star,” he said. “It’s funny, I keep being called a reality star. I’m the only candidate living in reality, too.”

In fact, Pratt has ties to Foster, 76, thanks to his past onThe Hills.Pratt is the former manager ofThe Hills' Brody Jenner, whose mother, Linda Thompson, was previously married to Foster before the pair split in 2005.

Pratt said last month that it was Foster whoencouraged him to pursue on-camera opportunitieswith his first foray into reality television,The Princes of Malibu.

During an April 30 appearance on SiriusXM’sThe Julia Cunningham Show, Pratt recalled creatingThe Princes of Malibu, which chronicled Jenner's life with his brother Brandon, as well as Thompson and Foster.

While Pratt made brief appearances on the show, he was more interested in a career acting and producing, he said. "I joke it's likeThe Matrix— I didn't realize I was taking the pill. And then once I was in, I was like, 'Too late,' " he recalled. "I didn't think about it, and that moment did change my life forever because nobody ever took me seriously again."

Foster, however, changed his perspective: "Then David Foster, he was like, 'You need to be theSimon Cowellof reality TV.' And I didn't even watchAmerican Idol. I didn't even know who Simon Cowell was," Pratt said.

He added, "I was like, 'What? What does that mean? What are you talking about?' He's like, "Be the bad guy. Be the villain.' "

In arecent interviewwithEntertainment Tonight, Pratt even gave Foster a nickname, referring to him as "Fos Man."
