Tan France vs. Bobby Berk
Bobby (pictured second from left) addressed rumors of a falling out with Tan (middle) in January 2024, two months after he announced his exit from Queer Eye after eight seasons.
"I want people to know that Tan and I—we will be fine," he told Vanity Fair. "There was a situation, and that's between Tan and I, and it has nothing to do with the show. It was something personal that had been brewing—and nothing romantic, just to clarify that."
In March 2024, Tan responded to allegations that he had campaigned to replace Bobby on Queer Eye with his friend Jeremiah Brent.
"Netflix and the production companies did a full-on casting. I didn't put my friend up for the job. They ended up getting it because they were the best person for the job," he said on Instagram. "But I didn't get them hired by getting rid of somebody else."
Hilary Duff Details “Devastating” Estrangement From Her Parents and Sister Haylie Duff
Hilary Duff’s lips aren’t sealed when it comes to her family dynamic.
The How I Met Your Father alum candidly described her complex relationship with her parents, Bob Duff and Susan Duff, as it relates to the lyrics of the song “The Optimist” from her new album Luck… or Something.
“I think being very vulnerable and open about what it’s like to be in a family that your parents aren’t together and you don’t have relationships with both of your parents,” she said of the track’s lyrical inspiration on the March 9 episode of the On Purpose With Jay Shetty podcast. “It’s devastating. It doesn’t matter what age you are, you want your parents to feel like they care about you. And a big portion of my existence hasn’t felt like that.”
“I don’t know if that’s the truth,” Hilary added, “but that’s how it feels.”
The 38-year-old—who shares son Luca, 13, with ex-husband Mike Comrie as well as Banks, 7, May, 4, and Townes, 22 months, with husband Matthew Koma—elaborated on her particularly strained relationship with her dad in the wake of her parents’ 2008 divorce, admitting that efforts to patch things up haven’t been fruitful.
