Heartbreak for Estee Williams: The Unseen Battle Behind Her Daughter's Loss

Heartbreak for Estee Williams: The Unseen Battle Behind Her Daughter's Loss

Influencer Estee Williams is paying tribute to her 8-month-old daughter, Estelle, after her death. “Until we meet again, my sweet Estelle,” Williams wrote via her Instagram Story on Saturday, May 30, alongside a photo of her holding her daughter. She added an angel wings emoji to the image. Williams confirmed to People on Sunday, May 31, that Estelle died from multiple organ failure and had spent several months hooked up to various hospital machines. Williams gave birth to Estelle in 2025. The baby was born with the congenital heart defect known as ventricular septal defect. “After a two-day long labor and complete exhaustion, my midwife and I agreed that transferring to the hospital was the best decision. Estelle was born another 24 hours later — healthy and absolutely beautiful. It wasn’t until a day and a half later that she failed two oxygen saturation screenings and a heart murmur was detected, at which point she was admitted to the NICU for further evaluation,” Williams wrote via Instagram in 2025. She continued, “The cardiologist performed an echocardiogram, and that’s when we learned she had two VSDs — one large and one moderate. We were told the larger hole measured 11 mm and that, sometime during her infancy, she would likely begin to show symptoms and need open-heart surgery to repair the VSDs with patches. Four days later, we were able to go home and begin our baby girl’s heart journey.” Williams shared that Estelle’s surgery was scheduled in November 2025, which was expected to be a “relatively short hospital stay” meaning about three to six days after surgery. “Our baby girl’s surgery was a success! The surgeon shared that hers was the largest VSD he had ever seen or repaired — measuring 30 mm and requiring a 3cm patch. A Healthy baby’s heart her age/weight would typically be about the size of a walnut, but because of the immense work her heart was doing to keep her alive, hers had grown to the size of an orange. It truly felt miraculous that we were able to bring our baby home from the NICU and that she was able to grow, even if only a little, before her surgery,” Williams wrote at the time. Check our latest news in Google News Check our latest news in Apple News Williams explained that because the “patch was so extensive and unable to contract like a normal septum,” Estelle’s “postoperative court became entirely unanticipated and was marked by significant complications.” Within two weeks, Estelle had “undergone her second heart surgery due to her complete heart block.” After Estelle went into cardiac arrest in December 2025, she was placed on life support. Williams was told that her daughter could not leave the hospital until she had a heart transplant. In April, Williams shared that Estelle was considered ineligible because of various health complications, including sepsis and issues with blood clotting. After the situation improved, Williams shared that Estelle was granted eligibility again. Earlier this month, Williams explained that Estelle had been removed from the transplant list for a second time.

Tragic Discovery: Alaskan Bush People's Matt Brown Found by River

Tragic Discovery: Alaskan Bush People's Matt Brown Found by River

Authorities are crediting a “group of private citizens” for ultimately recovering the body of Alaskan Bush People star Matt Brown. “On Saturday, May 30, 2026, a group of private citizens conducting a search along the Okanogan River located a deceased individual in the river,” a Sunday, May 31, updated press release shared by Washington state’s Okanogan County Sheriff Office’s official Facebook account read in part. “The individual was recovered and brought to shore, where he was positively identified as Matthew Brown.” The press release, signed by Sheriff Jodie Barcus, continued, “Matthew Brown has been transferred into the custody and care of the Okanogan County Coroner. The cause and manner of death will be determined by the Coroner’s Office. The Okanogan County Sheriff’s Office extends its condolences to Mr. Brown’s family and loved ones during this difficult time.” The press release concluded by stating that “no further information” will be released, citing an “ongoing investigation” into the reality TV star’s untimely death. Bear Brown, Matt’s brother, confirmed his sibling’s death at the age of 43 via TikTok on Saturday, revealing that their other brother, Noah Brown, was with the group of private citizens when they located his oldest brother’s remains. “They found a body in the river a few hours ago and it was positively identified as being Matt,” Bear, 38, said at the time. “Noah was with them and helped them pull the body out of the water. Noah identified [Matt].” While an official cause of death has yet to be publicly revealed at the time of publication, Bear speculated that his brother’s death was “self-inflicted,” adding that he “never would have suspected that [Matt] would have hurt himself” even though his brother “struggled for a long time.” “I was so worried that he would end up ODed or something like that,” he continued. “I didn’t think he would hurt himself.” He added, “I ask people to please, please be respectful to my family and to my mom. Please watch the comments that you leave, guys. Sometimes words can hurt more than fists can … In one of [Matt’s] last videos, he was talking about how negative people were on his posts. You guys should keep in mind that people on the other side of your screen, people you are watching a video of, are real people too.” Later, Noah broke his silence in the wake of his oldest brother’s death, confirming he ID’d Matt’s body. Check our latest news in Google News Check our latest news in Apple News “For the past couple of days, I’ve been working with search and rescue groups trying to locate the body and today at 3:27, the group that I was working with located the missing body and I identified it as Matthew,” he told the camera. “My oldest brother, Matthew Brown, has passed away.” He added, “I was there when we pulled him out of the river. We hauled him up off the bank and then after the sheriff’s got there and everything, the coroner did his thing and I went down to identify that it was him.” If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available.

Why No One Noticed Scooter Braun and Sydney Sweeney's Secret Times Square Adventure

Why No One Noticed Scooter Braun and Sydney Sweeney's Secret Times Square Adventure

Scooter Braun and Sydney Sweeney made a quick trek to New York City’s Times Square — and no one seemed to notice. “When you’re in bed at 11pm and your girl says ‘I’ve never been to Times Square….’ 😂,” Braun, 44, captioned a Sunday, May 31, Instagram video, which Sweeney, 28, replied, “🤷🏼‍♀️🥰🥰❤️.” In the clip, Braun filmed him and Sweeney biking down the streets of the Big Apple while wearing disguises. Sweeney donned a blue hoodie with black sunglasses while Braun opted for a gray hoodie with a green baseball cap underneath. “Hey Syd,” Braun said in the video, while Sweeney stuck her legs to the side and smiled. The pair then sat down as Sweeney ate a burger before walking around Times Square. Braun filmed the incognito trip as Sweeney sang to Alicia Keys’ “Empire State of Mind” and posed underneath an American Eagle billboard that featured a clip of the Euphoria actress for her campaign. Braun and Sweeney were first romantically linked in summer 2025, when they were spotted walking through Italy together while attending Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s star-studded wedding. In the months since, the pair have been spotted out and about together and a source exclusively told Us Weekly that the couple are slowly “blending their lives.” “They are the real deal, and their relationship has become very serious,” the insider said in April, noting that “people around them thought that this would be just a fling, but they are committed.” The source shared that Sweeney “really appreciates Scooter’s support with all her projects” and “loves hearing his feedback.” Braun, according to the insider, is “emotionally invested in her career and wants the best for her.” Sweeney finds this interest “very endearing” and she “feels loved and appreciated by him,” the source said. As their relationship has progressed, Sweeney and Braun have introduced each other to important people in their lives. Check our latest news in Google News Check our latest news in Apple News “Scooter has brought his kids around her,” the source revealed, referring to Braun’s sons, Jagger, 11, and Levi, 9, and daughter, Hart, 7.

Sweeney, meanwhile, has had Braun meet her brother, Trent, who “thinks he is a great guy,” the insider said. “They are slowly integrating their families and blending their lives, making the relationship more serious,” the source added. “Sydney is a hopeless romantic at heart and likes being in a committed relationship.” Exclusives you can't get anywhere else We know you want Us, because you've made it this far.

Morgan Wallen's On-Stage Meltdown: What Made Him Flip a Piano?

Morgan Wallen's On-Stage Meltdown: What Made Him Flip a Piano?

Country music star Morgan Wallen appeared frustrated after experiencing technical difficulties during a recent show. During the singer’s Friday, May 29, show at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado, Morgan, 33, flipped over his on-stage piano mid-performance after it appeared he was unable to hear the instrument, per social media footage shared on both X and Instagram. TMZ and Billboard also reported on the on-stage incident. Amid the technical difficulties, the singer was forced to perform his hit song “Sand In My Boots” a cappella, moving forward with the show despite the apparent ear piece issues. Us Weekly has reached out to reps for Wallen for comment but did not hear back at the time of publication. The “Whiskey Glasses” singer, who got his start in 2014 on season 6 of The Voice, is no stranger to controversy. In May 2020, he was arrested outside Kid Rock’s Nashville bar, Big Honky Tonk, for public intoxication and disorderly conduct. He was later cleared of the charges. “I went out downtown last night with a few old friends,” he said via X, then known as Twitter. “We didn’t mean any harm, and we want to say sorry to any bar staff or anyone that was affected.” View this post on Instagram He made headlines again when he was caught partying without a face mask — kissing multiple women in the process — at college bars in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, amid the deadly COVID-19 pandemic. His reported partying ultimately cost him a gig on Saturday Night Live. “I’m in New York City, in a hotel room. I was getting ready for SNL this Saturday, and I got a call from the show letting me know that I will no longer be able to play. And that’s because of COVID protocols, which I understand,” Wallen said at the time. “I’m not positive for COVID, but my actions this past weekend were pretty short-sighted and that have obviously affected my long-term goals and my dreams. I respect the show’s decision because I know that I put them in jeopardy. I take ownership for this.” Check our latest news in Google News Check our latest news in Apple News (Wallen later made his official SNL debut on December 5, 2020.) Later, in 2021, Wallen sparked controversy again when TMZ published a video of the singer using the N-word in February amid rising racial tensions in the country after the murder of George Floyd. “I’m embarrassed and sorry,” the singer said in a statement at the time. “There are no excuses to use this type of language, ever. I want to sincerely apologize for using the word. I promise to do better.” Exclusives you can't get anywhere else We know you want Us, because you've made it this far.

Jamie Lee Curtis Reveals Heartfelt Pre-Wedding Photos as Tribute to Late Sister

Jamie Lee Curtis is continuing to pay tribute to her late sister, Kelly Curtis, just hours after announcing her death at the age of 69. “In 1984 on December 17, in the evening before my wedding, my sister, Kelly, who was my maid of honor, came to my apartment and slept over,” Jamie, 67, wrote via Facebook on Saturday, May 30. Jamie added that their friend Suzanne Tenner “made a portrait of the sisters” before her wedding to husband Christopher Guest. “She sent me this contact sheet today in condolence for the loss of my beautiful sister,” the Freaky Friday actress added. In the photos, Jamie and Kelly struck various poses as they sat on the floor. The sisters hugged in a handful of the snapshots, while others showed them entwined as they laid on the ground. “My sister and I were close as children but also had that sibling competition for divorced parent’s attention, and love and we were wildly different and lived apart for many years, but she came back to be with me at my wedding and never really left again,” Jamie continued. “She worked for me at one point when she was in between jobs as my assister-aunt and became an integral part of my family structure.” The actress concluded, “I miss her today but am buoyed by the knowledge that she is at peace.” Jamie confirmed Kelly’s death via Instagram earlier on Saturday. “A warm aloha to my older sister, Kelly Lee Curtis. She passed away this morning. In her home. In nature. At peace,” she wrote alongside a black and white photo of her late sibling, which showed her getting her hair done as she smoked a cigarette.

She played a mean game of hearts, collected turtles, loved her family, nature, music, thrifting, travel, Facebook, and Pokémon Go,” Jamie continued. “She was proud of her Danish roots and Hungarian Jewish ancestry and was a devoted American patriot.” Kelly, the eldest daughter of Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, was born in Santa Monica on June 17, 1956. Similar to Jamie, she followed in her mother and father’s professional footsteps and made her acting debut in the 1958 adventure film The Vikings alongside her parents.
