Emily in Paris star Lucas Bravo just made things Instagram official with Shailene Woodley, 33, sharing a desert-set photo dump from their recent trip to Slab City, California. Among the art installations and sun-soaked backdrops were cozy snaps of the couple holding hands, donning cowboy hats, and posing with Sofi Tukker and  Sophie Hawley-Weld.

Bravo, 37, captioned the post “Howdy Slab City,” marking their first public social media debut as a couple. This comes nearly a month after he confirmed his romance to People that he was “really happy” in the relationship.

The duo first sparked dating buzz in March after being spotted holding hands in Paris. This marks Woodley’s first public relationship since her 2022 split from NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

The news comes as Bravo had to say goodbye to one of his Emily in Paris cast members, Camille Razzat. The French actress revealed that she will not be appearing in season 5 of the show, which is now in production in Rome before an expected return to Paris.

Kohl’s fired its CEO, Ashley Buchanan, for an “inappropriate” business decision.

The American department store retail chain has appointed Chairman Michael Bender as its interim CEO on Thursday, May 1. The change comes after Kohl’s found that Buchanan had committed to a suspect business decision.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Buchanan was accused of instructing Kohl’s to enter into a “highly unusual” with a woman whom he has a romantic relationship with.

The woman, Chandra Holt, reportedly worked at Walmart with Buchanan years ago. He ended up leaving Walmart to run crafts chain Michael’s and took the Kohl’s CEO job in November. But a couple of months later, he’s out.

Holt, meanwhile, is serving as a consultant and the founder of Incredibrew, a coffee brand.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Buchanan did not disclose his relationship with Holt when making a deal:

A Kohl’s board investigation found that Buchanan violated the company’s code of conduct in two instances with a vendor with whom he had a personal relationship and whom it didn’t name, according to a regulatory filing.

The filing said he directed the retailer to conduct business with this vendor and he caused the company to enter into a multimillion-dollar consulting agreement, where that person was part of the consulting team.

Kohl’s said Buchanan didn’t disclose the relationship as required by its code of ethics and determined the conduct in both cases constituted cause for termination. Buchanan will forfeit all equity awards from Kohl’s and be required to reimburse the company on a prorated basis a signing bonus worth $2.5 million. 

Kohl’s numbers have been down this year, too.

The American retail giant said that sales were down about 4 percent in the most recent quarter. The company is expected to post another loss when it reports sales later this spring.

Jax Taylor does not think his estranged wife, Brittany Cartwright, used him to get on Vanderpump Rules. The Bravo TV personality spoke out on the May 1 episode of his Podcast One podcast, In the Mind of Jax Taylor, after a fan asked if he felt the Kentucky native sought him out just to get on the reality show.

“I get this question all the time,” Taylor said. “I want to say I hope not. Her mom knew who I was, but she told me she never knew who I was. I want to give her the benefit of the doubt and say no, she didn’t know. I don’t think she would have done something like that …I don’t think she’s that kind of person.”

Taylor met Cartwright at a club in Las Vegas while he was filming the fourth season of Vanderpump Rules in 2015. He brought her back to Los Angeles with him to interview with Lisa Vanderpump. Cartwright scored a job at Vanderpump’s West Hollywood restaurant SUR and eventually a main role on Vanderpump Rules.

Taylor and Cartwright married in 2019 and split in early 2024. They are currently going through a bitter divorce.

Taylor’s new comments came just after Cartwright appeared on Watch What Happens Live and was grilled about their broken relationship. The former SUR waitress told host Andy Cohen there was no chance that she would ever reconcile with Taylor. She also gave a shady answer when asked to rate her former husband’s skills in the bedroom.

“There was times when he was about a seven or an eight,” Cartwright said of Taylor on the April 29 edition of Cohen’s talk show. “But the majority of the time, no stamina—no nothing.”

Cartwright also posted a comment on Instagram to explain why she gave her ex such a harsh critique. “Let’s be clear,” she wrote. “I was ASKED this question on WWHL and it’s my right, after all the s— I have been through, to answer honestly.”

Taylor didn’t directly address Cartwright’s remarks about his bedroom performance, but he hinted on his podcast that he and his wife got lazy in their decade-long relationship.
