Please tell me it's the real deal? I want to believe." Despite the many other insights I pick up over the course of two days with 28-year-old actor Nicola Peltz Beckham, this is the one question friends and colleagues relentlessly pester me with. Not about Nicola's secret to a razor-sharp jawline (a pre-shoot sculpting treatment with hyper-exclusive facial studio Sous La Face), not about what surprised me most about her (possibly that she doesn't have a driver's license), and not even about her high-profile friendship with Selena Gomez (keep reading for that). No, it seems the thing on everyone's mind is a genuine desire for confirmation that her love story is not, in fact, too charmed to be real.
There are the near-daily Instagram posts ("Happy birthday Nicola...I love you so so much baby"; "I'm the luckiest man I get to have you as my valentines every year forever"), the IG bios ("Nicola's husband" and "Brooklyn's wife"), the tattoos (at last count, Brooklyn had more than 20-20!-in her honor). That planet-size rock on her finger and the multimillion-dollar Palm Beach dream wedding. It's enough to make you go, "Okay, but really?" (And we all know those statistics, don't we, that show a negative correlation between the high price of wedding ring and the success of a marriage.) Still, for some reason, it's hard not to wish this particular couple well rather than want to pettily tear them apart.

Young Love in Atlanta
WE TOOK OUR COUPLE SPOTTING SERIES DOWN SOUTH.
THE NEW C-SUITE 2024
Progress. It’s a word that, in 2024, gets thrown around a lot. Especially when it comes to representation across all sorts of roles at all sorts of companies, including, crucially, at start-ups. Yet...people of color—and specifically women of color—still don’t often get the chance to even enter the conversation. Over the past few years, less than 1 percent of venture capital funding in this country has gone toward women of color entrepreneurs. (Making matters worse, funds that are geared toward supporting these women have become targets of anti-affirmative-action groups, forcing at least one to shut down entirely.)
Revenge Dressing
Model and content creator Olivia Ponton is giving you permission to bring everyone who's ever wronged you to their knees with these simple yet very effective styles.
HOTTER Than DRAGON FIRE
It’s very likely that no matter where you are right now, there’s a copy of Fourth Wing nearby. Probably one of Iron Flame too. Both books, by romantasy queen Rebecca Yarros, topped every bestseller list—and absolutely ignited BookTok, spawning a rabid fandom that cannot get enough of badass heroine Violet Sorrengail and her relationship with fellow dragon-rider Xaden Riorson. Honestly, what’s not to love? There’s extreme adventure. Absurdly high stakes. Wildly hot sex. And the promise of a lot more, starting right here, with this exclusive first excerpt of the series’ third book, Onyx Storm. Friends, get your daggers ready. (IYKYK. If you don’t, prepare to get obsessed.)
