Earlier this month, Alex was discovered in a mountainous area of southern France after a delivery driver spotted him walking alone in the rain with a flashlight.

According to the Associated Press, the teenager told French investigators he spent the past few years traveling with his mother and grandfather as part of a “spiritual community” and decided go out on his own after his mom told him they were moving to Finland.

As for what made Alex follow through with his plans? He told The Sun he got into “a stupid argument” with his mom.

“I just had enough and thought, ‘That’s it, I’m leaving,'” he explained. “I wrote a note and said, ‘Hey, Mom. I want you to know I love you very much. I’m very thankful for the life that you provided for me over the past few years.'”

His note continued, “‘Don’t worry about yourself. I’m sure you won’t get found. Don’t worry about me either. You know I can look after myself. I love you very much. Don’t be angry with me. Love Alex.'”

At this time, Alex’s mother and grandfather are wanted in connection with his disappearance, NBC News reported Dec. 14. 

E! News has also reached out to Greater Manchester Police for additional updates and has not heard back.

ABCDEFG…You absolutely have to see this.
 
More than a month after Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker welcomed their first child together, the couple shared the first glimpse of their baby boy, Rocky Thirteen.

The pair posted a carousel of images to Instagram on Dec. 22, with several photos showing the pair cradling their little one in their arms. In one photo, Kourtney laid on top of Travis’ lap, as he carried baby Rocky. The trio twinned in all-black outfits.

One snapshot showed the Poosh founder breastfeeding her son, while another pic was of the Blink-182 drummer kissing his baby boy.

Rocky was born at Los Angeles’ Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Nov. 1 when the clock struck midnight, according to his birth certificate obtained by E! News.

Their newborn son is the latest addition to the pair’s blended family: Kourtney, 44, shares kids Mason, 13, Penelope, 11, and Reign, 8, with ex Scott Disick, while Travis, 48, is dad to Landon, 19 and Alabama, 17, and stepdaughter Atiana, 24, with ex Shanna Moakler.

Ariana Grande‘s sweet gesture for boyfriend Ethan Slater was wicked good.

The pop star, who began dating her Wicked costar earlier this year, recently shared a carousel of images to Instagram that highlighted some of her holiday festivities. In one photo, however, Ariana, 30, gave a subtle nod to Ethan after displaying a Spam can ornament on a wall Christmas tree.

“Nah the spam on the tree is crazy,” one Instagram follower commented, while another added, “THE SPAM.”

As for why the canned meat referenced the 31-year-old actor? Well, he’s currently starring in the Broadway revival of Spamalot as The Historian/Prince Herbert.

In fact, the “7 Rings” singer hasn’t shied away from showing her support for Ethan. On Halloween, Ariana attended the first night of previews of Spamalot in New York City, donning a crown from the musical and holding up a playbill. The Grammy winner also looked smitten, as she was seen leaving the theater with a huge smile on her face.

Farrah Moan has never felt freer.

The RuPaul’s Drag Race alum—who competed on season nine of the competition series and on RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars season four—recently came out as transgender and opened up about living her most authentic self.

“In 2019, unbeknownst to my following, that’s when I had made the decision to live my life as a woman,” Farrah said on the Dec. 21 episode of Maddy Morphosis‘ Give It to Me Straight podcast. “It was forever-coming. The times in my life where I tried to suppress my trans identity, it was because I felt if I ever did it, I would never be on Drag Race, I’d never be successful, I’d never be able to have a job.”

After years of doing drag and being recognized for her transformations, Farrah says she feared coming out as trans would hinder her success.

“I think what my breaking point was, where I could not take it anymore, was having a male persona felt more like drag than having to do drag,” the 30-year-old shared. “That was when I couldn’t do it anymore.”

Look around, everybody—well, is not on mute.

And who can blame them: Beyoncé gave fans in Brazil the surprise of a lifetime when she appeared at a Dec. 21 event celebrating a screening of her Renaissance film at a convention center in Salvador, Bahia.

While gracing the stage in a stunning silver sequined dress, the “Flawless” singer stepped to the mic and attempted to complete her infamous “Energy” mute challenge not once, but twice—only for the audience to fail both times due to their overwhelming excitement.

However, the response from the crowd, as seen in videos posted to social media, prompted a small laugh from the Grammy winner. Queen Bey also went on to explain to those present why she couldn’t miss the opportunity to fly in and bless her fans with her energy.

“I came because I love you so much,” the 42-year-old gushed in a video shared to X, formerly known as Twitter, Dec. 22. “It was very important to me to be here, right here in Bahia.”

Being a mom is no joke.

Just ask Whitney Cummings, who shared insight into her ever-evolving postpartum body after recently announcing she welcomed her first child, a baby boy.

“Something nobody told me about giving birth is that you stay looking prego for a bit,” she captioned her Dec. 21 Instagram post, “then your body changes every 5 minutes after that.”

In the photo, Whitney showcased her figure by posing in nothing but gray high-rise shorts. She covered her chest with her hands and smiled at the camera, while standing in a post-birth recovery room. 

The comedian added, “Thank god @fridamom makes these postpartum shorts that keep everything from falling out.”

Although the 41-year-old offered a glimpse inside her life as a new mom, she’s kept details of her baby boy out of the spotlight. In fact, she yet to share her little one’s name.

“3-D printed a human,” she joked in a Dec. 17 post, alongside a photo of herself holding her son while keeping his face hidden. “Enjoy me never having brushed hair again.”

This holiday season, Kim Kardashian wanted to give some gifts that truly kept on giving. 

“All right, guys, I wanted to show you my wrapping this year,” The Kardashians star shared in a video posted on her Instagram Stories Dec. 21 (and captured by TikTok user FireSnippet). “I’m putting some presents under the tree and I just wanted to show you guys that I used SKIMS cotton fabric for my wrapping this year.” 

Not only did the winter white hue of the cotton jersey match her desired winter wonderland holiday vibe, shared the mom to North, 10, Saint, 8, Chicago, 5, and Psalm, 4, “I’m going to reuse it. When everyone opens it, I’m going to take the fabric and reuse it on stuff that I make for my family. So I thought it was a really fun, cool way to just having something that you can use over and over again.” 

Before getting married, Simone also offered insight into her relationship and how she knew Jonathan was her all-star.

“I knew he was the one when I first met his mom,” the 26-year-old told E! News’ Francesca Amiker in January. “She has a little bit of a disability with her walking, she’s gotten a lot stronger, but how he treated his mother and how he treats women, I was like, ‘Wow.'”

She’s felt that way ever since. 

“Almost weekly he brings me flowers,” Simone added. “It’s kind of cliché but it’s just so cute because, after his practices from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., he still takes the time to put a smile on my face.”

Patrick Mahomes is cheer captain of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift‘s love story. 

The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback is sharing insight into his teammate’s romance, recalling when the singer and tight end decided their relationship no longer needed to be on the sidelines.

“He realized how cool of a person she was and she is,” Patrick said in a preview for a Dec. 25 episode of CBS Mornings. “So, for us, I mean, there were a couple of jokes here and there in the beginning, but she’s just part of Chiefs Kingdom now and she’s part of the team.”

And that team spirit extends to Patrick’s wife Brittany too, who even has a special handshake with the “Bad Blood” singer. “It’s cool that she’s embraced Brittany,” Patrick noted, “and they’ve built a friendship as well.”

But above all, the NFL star is simply happy for his teammate.

“He’s lucky enough to be with a great girl and a great woman,” Patrick continued, “and it’s been cool to interact with her because she’s top tier of her profession—and how she drives and she becomes that, it’s really cool to hear about and to see.”

E! News can exclusively reveal that influencer Madeleine White is engaged to Andrew Fedyk after more than three years together. And, yes, the DJ carefully curated the moment for your TikTok viewing pleasure. 

“I made Andrew promise one thing,” the British model explained exclusively to E! News. “He could make it a surprise but he had to give me an hour heads up so I could actually have a ‘fit.”

As he’d guaranteed, the musician—one half of the Loud Luxury duo—alerted Madeline midway through their recent Toronto trip that they were off to dinner Dec. 21 at Casa Loma, a Gothic Revival castle-style mansion and garden in the Canadian city. 

And, yes, she may have had an inkling that it was coming, the duo having designed her radiant emerald ring back in early August.

“I’ve been wrong before,” she admitted while shooting her let’s-get-ready-to-get-engaged-I-think video for her 4.4 million TikTok followers. “But this is the first time I’ve felt confident enough to film the video.”
