Rand Paul says Trump's threat to bomb Iran 'is not the answer': Not the 'job of the American government'
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., on Sunday spoke out against President Donald Trump's threats to bomb Iran, warning that such an attack may backfire as the U.S. government monitors the Middle Eastern country's response to widespread protests.
During an appearance on ABC's "This Week," Paul said he is unsure that striking Iran "will have the effect that is intended."
"I don't think I have ever heard a president say they may take military action to protect protesters," Paul said. "Certainly, with Soleimani, when the Trump administration hit him, there were massive protests against America. But they are shouting 'death to the Ayatollah.'"
"We wish them the best," he added. "We wish freedom and liberation the best across the world, but I don't think it's the job of the American government to be involved with every freedom movement around the world."
TRUMP SAYS US WILL INTERVENE IF IRAN STARTS KILLING PROTESTERS: ‘LOCKED AND LOADED’
Paul also stressed concern about how the Trump administration would distinguish Iranian protesters from law enforcement if the president were to seek military action.
"How do you drop a bomb in the middle of a crowd or a protest and protect the people there?" Paul asked.
The Republican lawmaker also warned that attacking Iran may unintentionally rally protesters behind the Ayatollah.
"If you bomb the government, do you then rally people to their flag who are upset with the Ayatollah, but then say, 'Well, gosh, we can't have a foreign government invading or bombing our country?'" Paul said.
"It tends to have people rally to the cause," he continued. "So, I think the protests are directed at the Ayatollah, justifiably so."
Paul added: "The best way is to encourage them and say that, of course, we would recognize a government that is a freedom-loving government that allows free elections, but bombing is not the answer."
The liberty-minded senator also affirmed that presidents cannot strike other countries without the approval of Congress.
"There is this sticking point of the Constitution that we won't let presidents bomb countries just when they feel like it," Paul emphasized. "They're supposed to ask the people, through the Congress, for permission."
Protests erupted in Iran in recent weeks over the country’s economic free fall, and many have begun to demand total regime change as the demonstrations continue.
Thousands have been arrested, according to reports. Agencies have been unable to confirm the total death toll because of an internet blackout as the country's leaders seek to quell the dissent, but The Associated Press reported that more than 500 were killed.
Trump warned Iranian leaders on Friday that they "better not start shooting, because we’ll start shooting, too."
"Iran is looking at FREEDOM, perhaps like never before. The USA stands ready to help!!!" Trump wrote on Truth Social on Saturday.
IRANIAN SUPREME LEADER BLAMES TRUMP FOR INCREASINGLY INTENSE DEMONSTRATIONS
Paul has opposed Trump in various instances in recent months when it has come to military strikes, including against Iran and Venezuela.
He helped the Senate advance a resolution last week that would limit Trump’s ability to conduct further attacks against Venezuela after the U.S. military's recent move to strike the country and capture its president, Nicolás Maduro, which the Kentucky Republican said amounts to war.
"I think bombing a capital and removing the head of state is, by all definitions, war," Paul told reporters before the vote last week. "Does this mean we have carte blanche that the president can make the decision any time, anywhere, to invade a foreign country and remove people that we’ve accused of a crime?"
Paul has also criticized the administration's military strikes on boats near Venezuela it accuses, without evidence, of carrying narco-terrorists, raising concerns about killing people without due process and the possibility of killing innocent people. The senator previously cited Coast Guard statistics that show a significant percentage of boats boarded on suspicion of drug trafficking are innocent.
San Antonio ends its abortion travel fund after new state law, legal action
San Antonio has shut down its out-of-state abortion travel fund after a new Texas law that prohibits the use of public funds to cover abortions and a lawsuit from the state challenging the city's fund.
City Council members last year approved $100,000 for its Reproductive Justice Fund to support abortion-related travel, prompting Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to sue over allegations that the city was "transparently attempting to undermine and subvert Texas law and public policy."
Paxton claimed victory in the lawsuit on Friday after the case was dismissed without a finding for either side.
WYOMING SUPREME COURT RULES LAWS RESTRICTING ABORTION VIOLATE STATE CONSTITUTION
"Texas respects the sanctity of unborn life, and I will always do everything in my power to prevent radicals from manipulating the system to murder innocent babies," Paxton said in a statement. "It is illegal for cities to fund abortion tourism with taxpayer funds. San Antonio’s unlawful attempt to cover the travel and other expenses for out-of-state abortions has now officially been defeated."
But San Antonio's city attorney argued that the city did nothing wrong and pushed back on Paxton's claim that the state won the lawsuit.
"This litigation was both initiated and abandoned by the State of Texas," the San Antonio city attorney’s office said in a statement to The Texas Tribune. "In other words, the City did not drop any claims; the State of Texas, through the Texas Office of the Attorney General, dropped its claims."
Paxton's lawsuit argued that the travel fund violates the gift clause of the Texas Constitution. The state’s 15th Court of Appeals sided with Paxton and granted a temporary injunction in June to block the city from disbursing the fund while the case moved forward.
Gov. Greg Abbott in August signed into law Senate Bill 33, which bans the use of public money to fund "logistical support" for abortion. The law also allows Texas residents to file a civil suit if they believe a city violated the law.
"The City believed the law, prior to the passage of SB 33, allowed the uses of the fund for out-of-state abortion travel that were discussed publicly," the city attorney’s office said in its statement. "After SB 33 became law and no longer allowed those uses, the City did not proceed with the procurement of those specific uses—consistent with its intent all along that it would follow the law."
TRUMP URGES GOP TO BE 'FLEXIBLE' ON HYDE AMENDMENT, IGNITING BACKLASH FROM PRO-LIFE ALLIES
The broader Reproductive Justice Fund remains, but it is restricted to non-abortion services such as home pregnancy tests, emergency contraception and STI testing.
The city of Austin also shut down its abortion travel fund after the law was signed. Austin had allocated $400,000 to its Reproductive Healthcare Logistics Fund in 2024 to help women traveling to other states for an abortion with funding for travel, food and lodging.
Los Angeles wildfire recovery enters second year as frustration and uncertainty linger
PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif. – One year after two major wildfires tore through opposite sides of Los Angeles County, recovery for thousands of families remains far from complete.
The fires started just hours apart and burned for a month, killing 31 people and destroying more than 16,000 buildings across the county. In the Pacific Palisades and nearby Malibu, flames burned for 31 days, scorching 37 square miles and destroying more than 6,000 structures, most of them homes. In Altadena, the Eaton Fire alone destroyed more than 9,000 buildings.
Today, many survivors are still waiting for permits to rebuild, while others are grappling with contaminated properties, displacement and the slow return of normal life.
"I’ve seen silver linings all day long," said Nicole Gyarmathy, who has returned to the area near her former apartment to replant flowers one year after the fire.
"Anything that I can do to help bring back health and what used to be here; If it’s planting flowers and trees and cleaning up the trash," Gyarmathy said.
MY HOUSE ALMOST BURNED DOWN IN THE PALISADES FIRE. ALLEGED ARSONIST IS NOT WHO I BLAME
For her, the small acts help process loss and offer hope to others returning to empty lots.
"People are coming up here to visit their lots that are empty," she said. "They see that, and it just brings them hope that, ‘Oh yeah, no, we’re not being left behind.'"
Across the Palisades, recovery has been uneven. On the anniversary of the fire, residents marked the moment with protests and memorials, underscoring lingering anger and frustration.
Ken Ehrlich, an environmental lawyer who lost his home in the fire, said he remembers arriving to find only remnants of what once stood.
"We pulled up right on Sunset… hysterically crying and screaming at the site of our still smoldering property with only the chimney standing," Ehrlich said. "I literally screamed that we need to get out of here right now."
SPENCER PRATT ANNOUNCES RUN FOR LA MAYOR ON ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF PALISADES FIRE
Ehrlich’s property is now nearing construction after months of uncertainty. According to a December Los Angeles Times analysis, fewer than 14 percent of homes destroyed in the Palisades have received permits to rebuild. Even some homes that remain standing are unlivable due to smoke, ash and asbestos contamination.
"The threat is real… it’s a big problem," Ehrlich said. "I mean, people are dealing with it all over the place."
Still, a piece of heavy machinery now sits on his lot, a sign that rebuilding is finally underway.
"I’m really excited to move forward and build," Ehrlich said. "I want to come back to the neighborhood. It’s who we are, and I don’t want to go anywhere else."
"My hope is standing here," he added. "My hope is wanting to come back to my home, wanting my family to come back, looking to the future, and really wanting the Palisades to come back better and stronger than it was before."
Across the county in Altadena, the Eaton Fire unfolded under extreme conditions. Crews were already stretched thin battling the Palisades fire when 90-mile-per-hour winds grounded aircraft and caused the blaze to explode.
Brian Childs stood on his cleared property this week, where no house and no debris remain… just land, quiet and waiting.
"It’s all you see, it’s black smoke going about 100 miles an hour and flames all around you," Childs said of the night the fire began.
His home stood for most of the evening before it was suddenly gone.
"I sat right down across the street for about 15 minutes, called my wife and said, it’s gone," Childs said. "And she was devastated."
ONE YEAR AFTER THE LA FIRES, CALIFORNIA STILL HASN’T LEARNED ITS LESSON
According to city and county data, just 10 homes have been rebuilt in Altadena so far. Childs hopes his will be next. His plans are complete, and permits are moving forward.
"This is part of my family’s legacy," he said. "I want to be able to leave this to my kids, and hopefully their kids."
Though not everyone in Altadena has that option. Many of those who lost homes were renters, and some are displaced a year later.
"The housing need remains deeply, deeply urgent," said Palin Ngaotheppitak. "We still see applications every day, from folks who are living in their cars a year after the fire."
Beacon Housing, a local nonprofit, is building long-term housing for low-income fire survivors.
Ngaotheppitak ran from the fire with her children last year and is still awaiting progress on her own home, but says helping others is essential to the community’s recovery.

"I think it’s even more important for a place like Altadena where the community ties are so strong," she said. "We’re really looking out for our neighbors here. We are in this together."
Smithsonian replaces Trump portrait display, strips Jan. 6 and impeachment references from accompanying text
The Smithsonian Institution unveiled a new portrait of President Donald Trump last week, while removing most of the accompanying text that referenced his two impeachments and the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack.
The changes at the National Portrait Gallery’s "America’s Presidents" exhibit follow Trump’s accusations that museums are "woke" and biased, along with a White House order requiring the Smithsonian to provide extensive internal records by Jan. 13 or risk potential federal funding cuts.
While the institution previously displayed Trump against a black background with his hands folded in front of him, visitors will now see a new black-and-white photo by White House photographer Daniel Torok. The new portrait shows the president with his fists on the Resolute Desk, staring directly into the camera.
"For the first time in history, the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery has hung up an iconic photo taken by the White House honoring President Trump," White House spokesman Davis Ingle told Fox News Digital on Sunday. "His unmatched aura will be seen and felt throughout the halls of the National Portrait Gallery."
TRUMP CALLS SMITHSONIAN "OUT OF CONTROL" AND ORDERS SWEEPING REVIEW OF ALL MUSEUMS AND PROGRAMMING
Previously, the text beside Trump’s portrait read: "Impeached twice—on charges of abuse of power and incitement of insurrection after supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021—he was acquitted by the Senate in both trials."
According to photos, the original placard has been replaced with a shorter one that only lists Trump’s years in office.
As of Sunday, Trump was the only president in the gallery whose display lacked extended text highlighting key events, according to the Associated Press (AP). By contrast, other portraits, including those of former Presidents Bill Clinton and Andrew Johnson, reportedly still note their impeachments.
WHITE HOUSE REVIEWING ALL SMITHSONIAN MUSEUM, EXHIBIT CONTENT BEFORE AMERICA 250 CELEBRATION IN 2026
The gallery said in a statement to the AP that "the museum has been exploring quotes or tombstone labels, which provide only general information, such as the artist’s name."
Fox News Digital reached out to the National Portrait Gallery for more information.
Trump praised the change in a post on Truth Social Friday, sharing a photo of the new display.
A White House official told Fox News Digital that photographs will be displayed until the institution completes an official painted portrait.
The changes were made after the White House ordered a sweeping review of all museums ahead of America's 250th anniversary of independence.
In an August post on Truth Social, Trump blasted the institutions as "woke," accusing the Smithsonian and other museums nationwide of promoting narratives that disparage the U.S. rather than celebrate its achievements.

Patriots crush Chargers in Wild Card defensive slugfest, secure first playoff win since 2018
The New England Patriots defended home turf in the Wild Card Round, dominating the Los Angeles Chargers in a 16-3 victory to move on in the NFL Playoffs.
New England, winning its first playoff game since their 2018 Super Bowl-winning campaign, will await the victor of the No. 4 Houston Texans and No. 5 Pittsburgh Steelers Wild Card game on Monday night to see who they face in the Divisional Round next week.
This game saw its first touchdown in the fourth quarter, but that was because of how suffocating both defenses were in this contest. But it was clear the Patriots had every answer for Justin Herbert and the Chargers’ offense.

Mike Vrabel’s squad shouldn’t have given up only three points, especially after Drake Maye was picked off on the Patriots’ second drive at his own 10-yard line. However, the Patriots’ defense was relentless all night, and the Chargers couldn’t adjust.
They stopped the Chargers on four plays to turn them over on downs, and ultimately got on the board first thanks to a 93-yard drive that resulted in a field goal.
49ERS ELMINATE DEFENDING SUPER BOWL CHAMPION EAGLES FROM PLAYOFFS
Los Angeles was knocking at the door again with a third-and-2 from New England’s three-yard line, but Kimani Vidal was stuffed. Cameron Dicker added a field goal to tie the game, and only another Patriots field goal was added to the score before halftime, a 6-3 lead for New England.
While the Chargers couldn’t get anything going on offense, their defense kept them in this game, at least for the first three quarters. Maye was strip-sacked by Odafe Oweh while in Chargers territory to keep it a three-point game in the third quarter.
But after another failed drive, a third Patriots field goal split the uprights to make it 9-3.
The dagger for the Patriots came after yet another Chargers punt, when Maye placed his pass perfectly for tight end Hunter Henry, the ex-Chargers star, for a 28-yard touchdown. The first six-pointer for either team seemingly ended all hopes for Los Angeles.
On the ensuing drive, Herbert was crushed by K’Lavon Chaisson, resulting in a fumble recovered by Christian Elliss, as the Gillette Stadium crowd went ballistic.
The Chargers tried to get some playoff heroics going, as they dinked and dunked their way down the field into Patriots territory. But on fourth-and-9 from New England's 34-yard line, Milton Williams ended all hope when he delivered the Patriots' sixth sack on Herbert to turn them over on downs again.
In the box score, Maye went 17-of-29 through the air for 268 yards, with running back Rhamondre Stevenson being his top receiver with 75 yards on three catches. Kayshon Boutte also added 66 yards on four grabs, while Henry finished with 64 yards.
And Maye was also the Patriots’ leading rusher with 67 yards on the ground on nine carries, as he continuously picked his spots to gash the Chargers’ defense.
For Los Angeles, Herbert’s playoff woes continue, as he’s now 0-3 after this performance. He had just 159 yards passing and 57 yards rushing.

Five severed heads found hanging on Ecuador beach amid escalating gang clashes
Five severed human heads were found hanging from ropes on a beach in southwestern Ecuador Sunday in a gruesome display linked to ongoing gang violence sweeping across the country, according to reports.
The killings came amid a wave of bloody violence tied to drug trafficking and organized crime, which has surged across Ecuador in recent years.
The Associated Press reported that the grim discovery underscores the tactics used by criminal groups competing for control of territory and trafficking routes, especially along the country’s coastline.
Police said the heads were found on a tourist beach in the small fishing port of Puerto Lopez, in Manabi province.
The images shared by Ecuadorian media and on social media showed the severed heads tied with ropes to wooden poles planted in the sand, with blood visible at the scene.
A wooden sign left beside the heads carried a threatening message aimed at alleged extortionists targeting local fishermen.
The message warned those demanding so-called "vaccine cards" protection payments commonly extorted by gangs that they had been identified, the report said.
RUBIO IDENTIFIES 'SINGLE MOST SERIOUS THREAT' TO THE US FROM WESTERN HEMISPHERE
Authorities said the display was likely the result of a conflict between criminal groups operating in the area.
Drug-trafficking networks with links to transnational cartels are active along Ecuador’s coast and have used fishermen and their small boats to transport illicit shipments, according to local police.
President Daniel Noboa launched an armed campaign against gangs and declared states of emergency in several provinces, including Manabi, deploying the military to support police operations.
Despite his efforts, violence has continued to escalate with police increasing patrols and surveillance in Puerto Lopez following recent massacres in the province, the Associated Press said.
MS-13 GANG LEADER ACCUSED IN MURDER OF EX-HONDURAN PRESIDENT’S SON ARRESTED IN NEBRASKA
In 2025, at least nine people, including a baby, were killed there in an attack that authorities blamed on clashes between local gangs also.
As previously reported by Fox News Digital, in 2025, infighting between factions of a gang vying for control over territory in Ecuador's largest city, Guayaquil, left nearly two dozen people dead.
Ecuador ended the year with a record homicide rate of 52 per 100,000 people, according to the Organized Crime Observatory, making it the deadliest year on record.
Trump says Greenland's defense is 'two dog sleds' as he pushes for US acquisition of territory
President Donald Trump said the U.S. must acquire Greenland — not lease it — arguing the Arctic territory lacks defenses and warning that Russia or China would move in if Washington does not act, a move he said is critical to U.S. and NATO security.
While speaking with reporters on Air Force One on Sunday night, Trump was asked about Greenland and whether the U.S. had made an offer to acquire the territory from Denmark.
"I haven’t done that. Greenland should make the deal because Greenland does not want to see Russia or China take over," he said. "Basically, their defense is two dog sleds. You know that? You know what their defense is? Two dog sleds.
"In the meantime, you have Russian destroyers and submarines, and China destroyers and submarines all over the place," Trump continued. "We’re not going to let that happen, and if it affects NATO, then it affects NATO. But, you know, they need us more than we need them, I will tell you that right now."
DENMARK SUMMONS US ENVOY OVER ALLEGED COVERT GREENLAND INTERFERENCE OPERATIONS
The president was also clear that his administration is not talking about leasing Greenland short term, but only about acquiring the Danish territory.
"If we don’t do it, Russia or China will, and that’s not going to happen when I'm president," Trump said.
The remarks followed renewed pushback from Greenland’s leadership, which rejected calls from Trump and members of his administration for the U.S. to take control of the island.
Several Trump administration officials have echoed the president’s position, arguing that Greenland’s strategic location makes U.S. control a national security imperative.
Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen and four party leaders said Friday night that the island has no interest in becoming part of the U.S. or Denmark, according to The Associated Press.
Greenland, a self-governing Danish territory and longtime U.S. ally, has repeatedly dismissed Trump’s suggestions that the U.S. should acquire the island.
"We don’t want to be Americans, we don’t want to be Danes, we want to be Greenlanders," the leaders said, adding that Greenland’s "future must be decided by the Greenlandic people."
The statement also criticized Washington’s rhetoric toward the island. "As Greenlandic party leaders, we would like to emphasize once again our wish that the United States’ contempt for our country ends," it said.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen warned last week that Trump’s annexation comments could threaten NATO itself, saying any U.S. military action against a NATO ally would effectively end the alliance and the security framework that has existed since World War II.
"If the U.S. chooses to attack another NATO country militarily, then everything stops," Frederiksen told Danish broadcaster TV2.
Nielsen underscored that position the same day, writing in a Facebook post that Greenland is "not an object of superpower rhetoric."

Golden Globes host Nikki Glaser mocks CBS News as 'best place to see BS news'
Comedian Nikki Glaser mocked CBS News as the place for "BS news" in her monologue for the 83rd Golden Globe Awards ceremony Sunday night.
"And the award for 'Most Editing' goes to CBS News. Yes, CBS News, America's newest place to see BS news," Glaser said.
Over the past year, CBS has experienced several controversies and new ownership that led to new leadership, which have some critics accusing the network of losing its credibility.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem accused CBS of editing her "Face the Nation" interview in September. CBS News later announced that "Face the Nation" interviews would only be broadcast live or live-to-tape in response.

However, CBS News was previously accused by President Donald Trump of editing an interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris to provide a better image of the Democratic candidate in the months leading up to the 2024 presidential election. Trump sued the network after accusing them of "election interference" in favor of Harris.
CBS' parent company later agreed to a $16 million settlement with President Donald Trump ahead of its merger with Skydance Media.
DAVID LETTERMAN BLASTS CBS NEWS AS 'WRECK' RUN BY 'IDIOTS' WHO TRAMPLED NETWORK'S INTEGRITY
Although Glaser mocked CBS News, CBS and its parent company Paramount were the ones who aired the Golden Globe Awards Sunday night, with the ceremony also streaming on Paramount+.
CBS has faced backlash from liberal commentators since Paramount's settlement with Trump and has been accused of acquiescing to the Trump administration through Paramount's new CEO, David Ellison. Ellison has focused on revitalizing CBS News since becoming CEO, installing The Free Press founder Bari Weiss as editor-in-chief in October.

Progressive commentators have also gone after Weiss for making significant decisions behind-the-scenes, such as pulling a "60 Minutes" segment hours before it was scheduled to air.
Wild video shows federal agents detaining 2 men at Minnesota gas station as agitators gather
Dramatic videos show federal Border Patrol agents taking two men into custody at a gas station in St. Paul, Minnesota, as agitators continue to taunt and disrupt authorities in the area.
The videos, posted to X on Sunday afternoon, quickly drew thousands of views and appear to show Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino ordering a crowd to move back as federal agents attempted to remove a man from a vehicle parked at the gas station.
Multiple federal agents surrounded the parked vehicle as authorities repeatedly instructed bystanders to step back.
"Back up, guys, back up," Bovino says in the video. "We're going to back you on up for our safety and your safety… Stay there."

Moments later, agents force a man wearing a brown jacket to the ground and place him in handcuffs as agitators shout and car horns blare in the background.
Three agents are then seen carrying the man away from the scene by his arms and one of his legs.
In another tense moment captured on video, a Border Patrol agent again orders bystanders to move back.
After a man appears to resist, the situation escalates as several agents tackle him and place him in handcuffs.

He is then carried away by his arms and legs.
The confrontation comes amid heightened tensions in the Twin Cities following a fatal shooting Wednesday during a federal immigration enforcement operation, when 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent.
Federal officials said Good attempted to drive her vehicle toward agents during the encounter, a claim disputed by family members and some local leaders.

The shooting led to agitators taking to the streets and heightened scrutiny of federal enforcement activity in the city, contributing to repeated confrontations between demonstrators and federal agents.

Nikki Glaser roasts Leonardo DiCaprio's dating history during Golden Globes opening monologue
Leonardo DiCaprio's penchant for dating younger women was on Nikki Glaser's mind as she opened the 83rd Golden Globe Awards Sunday in Los Angeles, Calif.
During her second stint hosting the Globes, Glaser, 41, took aim at the "One Battle After Another" actor's dating history.
"Leonardo DiCaprio is here for 'one man bun after another,'" Glaser said before detailing a number of the star's career accomplishments.
GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS 2026: SELENA GOMEZ, BRITTANY SNOW AND AMANDA SEYFRIED DAZZLE ON RED CARPET
"What a career you've had," she said. "Countless iconic performances, you've worked with every great director, you've won three Golden Globes, an Oscar, and the most impressive thing is that you were able to accomplish that all before your girlfriend turned 30."
"I mean, that's just insane," Glaser said before apologizing.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO SHOWS RARE AFFECTION WITH GIRLFRIEND DURING INTIMATE OUTING
"Leo, I'm sorry I made that joke," she said. "It's cheap. I tried not to, but, like, we don’t know anything else about you, man. There’s nothing else. Open up! I’m serious! I looked! I searched! The most in-depth interview you’ve ever given was in Teen Beat magazine in 1991. Is your favorite food still ‘Pasta, pasta and more pasta?'"
The "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" star gave the nod of approval and a thumbs up to Glaser, who added, "Look it up – that's real."
DiCaprio, 51, has been dating supermodel Vittoria Ceretti, 27, since 2023. Prior to his relationship with Ceretti, the "Killers of the Flower Moon" actor was linked to Irina Shayk, who previously dated his friend, Oscar-winner Bradley Cooper.
Cooper moved on with supermodel Gigi Hadid, a reported ex of Leo's.

Gigi and Leo reignited romance rumors at the Oscars in 2023 and spent "nearly the entire night" together, according to People magazine.
"Leo and Gigi were tucked away in a tented area, trying to stay low-key," the insider shared. "There was no PDA, but they were together nearly the entire night and barely moved from their spot."
In an interview with Vogue France, Ceretti admitted there's a certain risk that comes with dating someone famous.
"As soon as you're in a relationship with someone who has a larger following than you, you become 'girlfriend of' – or 'boyfriend of,' for that matter. And that can be extremely annoying," Ceretti said.

"Suddenly, people are talking about you as so-and-so's girlfriend who was so-and-so's ex. So, it's not nice to think that you can't love whoever you want, because of the labels people need to stick on you."
DiCaprio is notoriously private about his personal life, and told TIME magazine last year that his approach to fame might be surprising in the age of endless information and viral sound bites.
"It’s been a balance I’ve been managing my whole adult life, and still I’m not an expert," DiCaprio revealed.
"I think my simple philosophy is only get out there and do something when you have something to say, or you have something to show for it. Otherwise, just disappear as much as you possibly can."
DiCaprio's dating habits weren't the only thing on Glaser's mind Sunday. The comedian also mocked CBS News as the place for "BS news" in her monologue.
"And the award for 'Most Editing' goes to CBS News. Yes, CBS News, America's newest place to see BS news," Glaser said.
