Wolfgang Van Halen found getting ready for the star-studded 96th Academy Awards more stressful than his own wedding.

Van Halen performed the hit Barbie anthem ‘I’m Just Ken’ on stage at the prestigious award show alongside Barbie star Ryan Gosling, who was also nominated for an Oscar for his performance in the movie, and his fellow guitarist Slash. The song itself was nominated for Best Original Song.

But before Van Halen took the stage, he and his wife, Andraia Allsop, had a brief conversation with People Magazine. The former compared getting ready for the Oscars to getting married and said that prepping for the Oscars was more stressful.

Allsop was the first to speak. She mentioned that the lead-up to Hollywood’s biggest night felt like she and Wolfgang were getting ready for their wedding. She stated, “It actually felt like we were getting ready for our wedding today.”

Her musician husband laughingly agreed with his wife’s statement and mentioned that getting ready for the Academy Awards was more stressful. His statement read, “I think it was more stressful getting ready today.”

The Mammoth WVH frontman later described attending the 96th Academy Awards as a magical night and that he was happy to be there. He stated, “It’s a magical night. I’m happy to be here, very happy to be part of this and support my buddy Mark.”

Van Halen’s mother, Valerie Bertinelli, also attended the prestigious award show with the musician and his wife. On the red carpet, Bertinelli expressed her pride and excitement about her son’s Oscars moment.

Bertinelli stated, “I’m excited! I’m here to support Wolfie, the Barbie movie, because Wolfie’s all throughout it. He did a lot of work with [soundtrack producer] Mark [Ronson] for two days, and I’m really proud of him so I want to support him.”

“And the movie was kickass, so we’re just going to say that. It’s so fun because I watch the movie and I hear Wolfie all throughout the chase scene, I hear Wolfie all throughout the Ken fight scene, and it’s just like, ‘That’s my boy!’” she concluded her statement.

During the same event, Van Halen and his wife were also asked about their relationship. In reply, the musician mentioned that things have been the same between them, which is good because “it shouldn’t be any different if you find the right person.”

Coming over to the duo’s wedding, which, as per Van Halen, wasn’t as stressful enough as the Oscars, they walked down the aisle and shared the wedding vows in a small and intimate wedding ceremony held at their Los Angeles residence in front of 90 guests.

To elaborate on their relationship, Van Halen and Allsop officially began dating on October 15, 2015. They first connected via Instagram, where the musician slid into her DMs. They started talking, exchanged phone numbers, and eventually began dating.

After being in a romantic relationship for over six years, he finally decided to take their relationship to a new level and proposed to her. She said yes, and they got engaged. He shared the news of their engagement on July 6, 2022, via his Instagram handle.

Finally, on October 25, 2023, exactly eight years after they officially started dating, Van Halen and Allsop walked down the aisle and shared their wedding vows. As mentioned earlier, the ceremony was intimate and only attended by 90 close ones.

The now-married couple’s wedding ceremony took place inside their living room, where they could “have privacy and just have our moment together with everyone.” Afterward, the reception was held outside in the backyard with string lights and flowers.

Allsop stated, “Our goal was just to bring all of our closest family and friends together. The past few years, not only with the world, but also with personal tragedies, haven’t been the easiest, but we wanted to create this wedding as a celebration not only just for us to get married but a celebration for the people we love.”

As for the wedding dress, the 32-year-old California native donned a custom three-piece black suit. On the other hand, the bride looked beautiful in an Eva Lendel dress featuring a V-neck and sheer long sleeves with lace detail.

Social media star Bryce Hall has a new love in his life – and he’s not shy about showing it. The influencer is currently dating model and content creator Mikaela Lafuente, marking a fresh chapter in his very public dating history.

After months of speculation, Hall and Lafuente made their relationship official in early 2024, and since then, the pair have appeared inseparable, sharing romantic TikToks, traveling together, and even walking red carpets side by side.

Here’s everything to know about Mikaela Lafuente and her relationship with Bryce Hall.

His Relationship Timeline with Mikaela Lafuente

While Hall and Lafuente made things public in January 2024, their connection started much earlier. During an appearance on the Raw Talk podcast that same month, the couple revealed they first started chatting on Instagram back in 2022. However, due to Lafuente living outside Los Angeles, they didn’t pursue a serious relationship until two years later.

“She was always out of L.A.,” Hall explained, revealing that their early conversations didn’t evolve into a relationship until early 2024.

Hall made the first move by sending Lafuente a direct message with a simple “hey” and a pair of eye emojis. By late 2023, the duo had started appearing together online, most notably in October at a Halloween party, where they wore matching costumes.

Their red carpet debut came in February 2024 at the Bob Marley: One Love premiere in Los Angeles. That same month, they were spotted again at the People’s Choice Awards, wearing coordinated black-and-white outfits.

From vacations in Las Vegas, Argentina, Paris, Italy, and Australia to sweet TikTok moments, the couple has been giving fans a full look into their relationship.

Who Is Mikaela Lafuente?

Mikaela Lafuente, born June 8, 2002, is a model and social media influencer based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She frequently celebrates her roots online, sharing TikToks in Argentina’s soccer jersey and referring to her homeland as “el mejor país del mundo” — “the best country in the world.”

Lafuente has built a large following across platforms. On TikTok, she boasts over 4 million followers, while her Instagram profile has over 1 million fans. Her content ranges from dance videos and lifestyle vlogs to travel diaries and couple content with Hall.

In addition to being an influencer, Lafuente is a professional model. In July 2023, she walked in the Evita X Elizabeth & Co. New York Swim Week show, showcasing her presence in the fashion industry.

The 23-year-old is also a travel lover. She has shared photos from recent trips to Australia’s Byron Bay, where she interacted with wildlife, and solo adventures to Europe — including Paris and Italy.

Hall’s Past Relationships

Bryce Hall’s dating life has often made headlines – and Mikaela Lafuente isn’t the first influencer he’s been romantically linked to.

In early 2024, Hall was rumored to be dating Lindsay Capuano, a model and OnlyFans creator. The pair shared multiple social media posts, including flirty comments and shared selfies, but never officially confirmed their status. The relationship appeared to fizzle out before the year’s end.

Before Capuano, Hall’s most high-profile relationship was with Addison Rae, one of TikTok’s biggest stars. The two dated on and off between 2020 and 2021, captivating fans with their on-screen chemistry and public breakups. Their split involved some drama, including cheating allegations and cryptic tweets, making it one of TikTok’s most talked-about breakups at the time.

Since then, Hall has kept his romantic life relatively low-key until now. With Lafuente, he seems to be embracing a more open and affectionate dynamic, posting frequent couple content and even poking fun at their relationship on TikTok.

In one clip from January 2025, Hall shared a video of them deciding between sushi and pizza using rock-paper-scissors, ending with Lafuente jokingly frustrated that his choice won. “Happy wife, happy life,” he captioned it.

James Gunn’s ‘Superman’ Sparks Right-Wing Backlash Ahead of Release

James Gunn’s much-anticipated Superman reboot is set to hit theaters on July 11, but the buzz leading up to the release has taken a political turn. In a recent interview, Gunn described Superman as “an immigrant’s immigrant,” reinforcing the character’s longstanding metaphor for hope, kindness, and the American dream. But this framing hasn’t sat well with everyone.

Right-wing commentators and political figures have criticized the film for what they perceive as a “woke” reinterpretation of the superhero. Among them, Fox News contributors and conservative commentators have taken aim at the film, calling it overly ideological. Former Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway even predicted it would “bomb worse than Snow White did,” referencing the poorly received Disney remake.

Despite the backlash, Gunn remains firm in his creative direction. “This film is for everyone,” he said, “and it’s about kindness—not politics.” His brother, actor Sean Gunn, also defended the vision, explaining that the film’s message aligns with Superman’s origins as an alien finding belonging on Earth—a narrative deeply rooted in immigration and acceptance.

Early screenings have reportedly received positive feedback, especially for David Corenswet’s performance as Clark Kent and Rachel Brosnahan’s Lois Lane. Whether the film will rise above the political noise remains to be seen, but it’s clear that Gunn’s Superman is already a cultural flashpoint before its official release.
