For quite some time, former The Bachelorette contestant Nayte Olukoya has been silent about his love life.

As a result, many asked questions like, “Who is Nayte Olukoya dating now?” and “Are Michelle and Nayte still together,” referring to his former partner, Michelle Young.

On Valentine’s Day 2024, Olukoya revealed that he was dating his new girlfriend, Allyssa Malony. He hard-launched their relationship with a carousel of photos of the couple as well as some solo shots of Malony.

In the caption, he wrote the lyrics of ‘Sweet’ by Teezo Touchdown. “Honestly, you’re too good for me. Honestly, we’ll last about a week. Honestly, my life is sour. But when I’m with you everything’s sweeeeeeeeeeeet,” he captioned.

In the end, he wrote how his new girlfriend would hate half of the photos he uploaded, but he liked them, so he posted those. He also posted it on his stories and penned, “When I found out that she’s 30% Nigerian, I knew it was a wrap!”

Malony is an influencer, social media manager, and User-Generated Content (UGC) creator who hails from Philadelphia but currently lives in Los Angeles.

So I combined the two and started Assylla Media LLC a social media management and marketing for sm(all) businesses.”

“Working with all types of people and businesses, I’ve been able to showcase my abilities and do something I love every single day (and yes, every single day) because I think of my business as my baby and it doesn’t matter if its the weekend, holiday, birthday, etc. I have showed up for my business every day for the last two years!” she added.

Eliza Butterworth Celebrates Daughter Lola’s 2nd Birthday with Sweet Tribute: ‘You Make Every Single Day Dazzling’

The Last Kingdom star shared an emotional post filled with photos and videos of her “birthday princess.”

Eliza Butterworth Celebrates Daughter Lola's 2nd Birthday

Eliza Butterworth is celebrating a major milestone — her baby girl is officially two years old.

The English actress, best known for her role as Lady Aelswith in the hit medieval drama The Last Kingdom (2015–2022) and the BBC miniseries The North Water, took to Instagram on April 22 to mark her daughter Lola Marie’s second birthday with a heartfelt and exuberant tribute.

“Happy 2nd Birthday to my beautiful, fabulous, hilarious, joyous and abundantly amazing baby girl!” Butterworth wrote. “Lola you are my everything!!! You make every single day dazzling and we are so proud of the incredible baby angel you are!”

The actress continued, “Seeing you turning 2 today is just blowing my mind and you are a dream come true!! We love you birthday princess!”

The Last Kingdom star’s post included a carousel of precious moments — from a sweet cake-cutting ceremony to candid snapshots and heartwarming videos of her daughter taken over the last few years. Fans got a glimpse of little Lola’s growing personality as she celebrated her special day.

Who Is Eliza Butterworth’s Partner?

While Butterworth, who holds dual British and American citizenship, is famously tight-lipped about her personal life, she does share glimpses of her longtime partner on social media. In May 2022, she posted a cozy photo of a man with his arms wrapped around her, captioning it: “My Man. You walked right out of my dreams”.

In other moments, she’s affectionately called him her “beautiful boo” and credited him for taking photos of her travels. The couple has also been spotted at family holidays, but the father’s name and details have remained private, as he stays largely out of the public eye.

A Star on the Rise

Before The Last Kingdom ended its five-season run in 2022, Butterworth grew up in Lincoln, England, and graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA). Her career has since flourished with roles in the BBC Two miniseries The North Water, for which she received a National Film Award nomination, and the Sky Max series A Town Called Malice.

But if her Instagram is any indication, her proudest role is clearly “Mama” to Lola.

Happy 2nd Birthday to my beautiful, fabulous, hilarious, joyous and abundantly amazing baby girl! — Eliza Butterworth on Instagram

What’s Next for the Actress?

Though she opted not to join the Last Kingdom follow-up film Seven Kings Must Die, Butterworth has been busy in Tenerife filming A Town Called Malice, a Sky series about a family of criminals in the 1980s Costa del Sol. She’s set to play Carly Lord in the upcoming show.

For now, though, it’s all about cake, candles, and celebrating two years of “magical angel” Lola. As Butterworth put it last Mother’s Day, “Lola is my everything and my best friend”.

‘This Beauty Is Impossible to Forget’: Lyliana Wray Opens Up About Her Soulful Journey Through Nepal

Lyliana Wray Opens Up About Her Soulful Journey Through Nepal

Lyliana Wray is trading Hollywood for the Himalayas — and fans are loving every moment.

The Top Gun: Maverick actress, 21, is currently on a soulful getaway in Nepal, documenting her travels through the sacred streets of Kathmandu Valley. Over the past week, she’s been sharing glimpses of her journey on social media — from ancient stupas to holy riverbanks — all while keeping things refreshingly real.

‘Happy Girl’ at the Monkey Temple

Wray’s first post came on April 18, featuring a series of photos of herself exploring the Kathmandu Valley. In one standout shot, she’s seen smiling in front of Swayambhunath Stupa, the iconic Buddhist temple affectionately known as the “Monkey Temple.” Her caption was simple, joyful, and impossible not to smile at: “happy girl.”

A Deeper Reflection at Pashupatinath

Then, on April 22, Wray offered a more contemplative look at her travels. She posted photos from Pashupatinath Temple, one of the holiest Hindu shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva. The temple complex, with its ashrams and the flowing Bagmati River, clearly left a mark.

“This temple holds stories in silence, a kind of beauty that’s hard to name but impossible to forget,” she wrote.

One Commenter Tried to Bring Negativity. She Wasn’t Having It.

Of course, no celebrity travel post is complete without a few eye-rolls from the peanut gallery.

Under her Pashupatinath photos, one user commented: “Bruh why do you guys always feel the urge for spiritual awakening within the worst suburbs of India?”

Ouch.

But Wray — who played Amelia Benjamin opposite Tom Cruise in the 2022 blockbuster — didn’t fire back with anger. Instead, she responded with grace and a perspective that’s won over her followers.

“it’s not about being spiritual or religious for me… experiencing cultures outside of my own is something really special,” she replied. “i’m always trying to stay open and see the world from different perspectives :)”

Fans Are Praising Her Response

The exchange quickly went viral, with fans flooding her comments to applaud her maturity.

“Class act,” one wrote. “This is how you travel — with curiosity, not ego.”

Another added: “She didn’t have to respond, but she did, and she taught that person something.”

Who Is Lyliana Wray?

For those who don’t know, Wray first broke out as a child star in 2015’s Girl Missing, later appearing in Nickelodeon’s Are You Afraid of the Dark? revival and shows like Black-ish. But her biggest moment came when she landed the role of Amelia Benjamin in Top Gun: Maverick — the daughter of Jennifer Connelly’s character, Penny Benjamin.

Since then, she’s kept a relatively low profile, focusing on her craft and, apparently, her passport.

A Trip That’s About More Than Sightseeing

While many celebrities use international travel as a backdrop for bikini photos, Wray seems genuinely moved by the culture and history around her. Her visit to Nepal isn’t framed as a “spiritual awakening” or a search for meaning — just an honest attempt to see the world through someone else’s eyes.

And honestly? That’s a travel goal we can all get behind.

As she continues her journey through Nepal, fans will no doubt be watching — and learning right alongside her.

BLACKPINK Returns with ‘Deadline’ EP: Everything to Know About Their High-Octane Comeback Single ‘GO’

Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa, and Rosé end their three-year hiatus with a bold new mini-album and a high-budget visual for their latest hit single.

BLACKPINK Returns with 'Deadline' EP: Everything to Know About Their High-Octane Comeback Single 'GO'

The long wait for the “biggest girl group in the world” is finally over. On Friday, Feb. 27, 2026, BLACKPINK—consisting of members Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa, and Rosé—officially released their new EP, Deadline. This marks the quartet’s first collective body of work since their 2022 studio album Born Pink, effectively ending a three-and-a-half-year hiatus that saw the members conquer the world through individual solo ventures.

The lead single from the EP, titled “GO,” arrived alongside a blockbuster music video that features the group in a futuristic, high-stakes heist narrative. Known for their “black” and “pink” duality, the new single leans heavily into the “black” concept—featuring aggressive synth-pop production, sharp choreography, and the signature “BLACKPINK in your area” confidence. The Deadline EP also includes the fan-favorite pre-release track “JUMP,” alongside new songs “Me and My,” “Champion,” and the edgy “Fxxxboy.”

The release of Deadline follows an incredibly busy period for the group. Throughout 2025, they embarked on the massive Deadline World Tour, which broke several attendance records for female groups and concluded earlier this year with three sold-out “encore” shows in Hong Kong. Despite the rigorous tour schedule, each member continued to excel individually. Most recently, Rosé made history at the 2026 Grammys, where she was nominated for three awards and opened the show with a viral performance of her smash hit “APT.” alongside Bruno Mars.

While solo projects for Lisa’s LLOUD, Jennie’s OA, and Jisoo’s BLISSOO have dominated the headlines for the past year, Deadline proves that the group’s collective chemistry remains unmatched. The mini-album is a strategic “thank you” to BLINKs who have waited patiently for a group comeback. “GO” is already trending at #1 on YouTube and Spotify’s Global charts, fueled by its message of relentless ambition and moving forward.

As the members continue to balance their massive solo careers in music, television, and fashion, Deadline serves as a powerful reminder that BLACKPINK is an unstoppable force when they reunite. With more group activities rumored for late 2026, it seems the “Deadline” era is only just beginning.
