Prince Louis turned 8 years old on April 23

NEED TO KNOW

• Kate Middleton and Prince William celebrated their youngest son's big day by sharing a new royal portrait of Louis

• Louis' older sister, Princess Charlotte, turns 11 in May, while big brother Prince George turns 13 in July

Happy birthday,Prince Louis!

Kate MiddletonandPrince William's youngest child celebrated his eighth birthday on Thursday, April 23. The family marked the occasion by continuing a royal tradition, sharing a new photo of the young prince.

The picture was taken in Cornwall earlier this month by Matt Porteous.

The Prince and Princess of Wales release a portrait of each of their three children —Prince George, 12,Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis — every year as a way of acknowledging well-wishers who reach out to wish them a happy birthday. While professional photographers sometimes take the snaps for the family,Kate, 44, has also gotten behind the camerafor the annual photos.

Last year's birthday portraitmarked a notable, grown-up change for Louis. In addition to missing his two front teeth, he was also wearing jeans,marking the first timethat the young prince wore long pants rather than shorts in a birthday picture.

It's classic fashion for upper-class boys in Britain to wear shorts with knee socks instead of pants —even in cold weather. Both Prince William, 43, andPrince Harry, 41, wore shorts with long socks when they were young, and Prince George and Prince Louis continued the trend into the next generation.

Royal watchers couldn't help but notice that the youngest Wales sibling looked even more grown-up duringhis first public appearance this year. He and Prince George matched their father in dark blue suits, white shirts and light blue ties as the royal family stepped out for Easter Matins Service at St. George's Chapel, located on the grounds of Windsor Castle.

There are some big changes ahead for the Prince and Princess of Wales' family this year. Prince George turns 13 in July and will continue his education at a new school. The frontrunners are thought to be Eton College, William's alma mater, or Marlborough College, where Kate attended, while Charlotte and Louis continue at Lambrook School.

Despite the fact that George ison a unique path as the eventual heir to the throne, a royal biographer recently said thatPrince William— in the midst of a years-long feud with his own brother,Prince Harry—is committed toavoiding the "spare problem"with his younger children.

"I am told that the heir to the throne, Prince William, is preoccupied with the built-in risk of primogeniture’s cruelty,"Princess Dianabiographer and formerVanity Faireditor-in-chief Tina Brown wrote in a March installment of her Substack,Fresh Hell.

"He is determined that his second- and third-born children, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, are well-prepared and well-financed for independent lives and will not fall into the same cycle of thwarted freedom," alleged the author ofThe Diana Chronicles.

Hulk Hogan explains in a new documentary about his life that he was the "happiest I've ever been" when he was raising his two young children alongside ex-wife Linda Hogan in the 1980s

NEED TO KNOW

• Hogan delves into his tumultuous life and career in a new interview filmed shortly before his July 2025 death

• Hulk Hogan: Real American is now streaming on Netflix

Shortly before his death last July,Hulk Hoganshared that he believes he was “happiest” in his life when he was raising his two young children alongside his wifeLinda Hoganin the 1980s.

Hogan, who died from a heart attack in July 2025, is the subject of Netflix’s new four-part docuseries,Hulk Hogan: Real American, out Wednesday, April 22. Much of the documentary details the late pro wrestler’s embattled personal life, including his immediate family and the family he began with his ex-wife Linda Hogan after they married in 1983.

Hogan and Linda, 66, shared two children together:Brooke Hogan, now 37, andNick Hogan, 35, who were both born in the years after the couple tied the knot in 1983.

Despite his and Linda’s 23-year marriage ending in a bitter divorce in 2009, Hogan reflects fondly on their life together in Netflix’s new docuseries, which features what turned out to be the late pro wrestler’s final interview of his life, filmed three months before his death last summer.

Towards the end of the series, Hogan is asked when he was the “happiest” he had ever been in his life.

After reflecting for a moment, Hogan shares that throughout the final years of his life he began to have routine flashbacks thinking back to when he and Linda were married, and Brooke and Nick were still young children.

“That was probably the most happiest I’ve ever been,” Hogan explains in perhaps the documentary’s most emotional and poignant moment, while showing home video of the late WWE star rolling around on the floor and playing with his children when they were kids.

Earlier in the documentary, Hogan explains that having kids changed his life.

“My whole reason for living changed instantly,” Hogan says at one point while talking about when his first child, Brooke, was born. “I had no idea that my whole focus would change to try and protect this human being.”

Later, while talking about Nick’s birth, which was a surprise to him as he and Linda had not discussed plans to have another kid, Hogan tells producers he was “ecstatic” at the idea of having “a baby boy.”

The two remained close throughout Hogan’s life and are shown working out together in the beginning of the documentary at their family’s home in Clearwater, Fla.

“He was always affectionate with the kids,” Linda says elsewhere in the documentary. “[He] never forgot to say ‘I love you.’”

In the documentary’s final episode, Linda becomes emotional while discussing her late husband, who she says she still feels “love” for despite their highly publicized divorce.

“I still care about him the same, it doesn’t go away,” Linda explains. “I wish things would’ve turned out differently for us. But then when he got sick, I realized that my love never faded for him. I still had love for him. I really do. I still love him.”

The '80s were the decade of excess — and some bigger-than-lifecelebrity couples.

While plenty of star duos grabbed headlines, five stood out as some of the era's obsessions. FromArnold SchwarzeneggerandMaria Shriver's California dreams to the bohemian magic — and sitcom scandal — ofLenny KravitzandLisa Bonet, PEOPLE profiled these stand-out pairs back then, sitting down with the stars to hear the latest on their relationships.

Years later, Kravitz opened up about his relationship with Bonet — the two weremarried from 1987 to 1993and welcomed daughterZoë Kravitzin 1988 — which has remained friendly and kind in the decades since their split.

"I am what I am because of our experience, because of everything that I was, everything that she was and everything that came together," he told PEOPLE in his 2024 cover story.

Of the five, only one couple —Maury PovichandConnie Chung, whowed in 1984— is still together. From opposites attracting to a glamorous second-time-around engagement, learn more about the five couples we couldn't stop talking about in the 1980s.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver

From PEOPLE's Oct. 14, 1985, issue:She is an inner-circle Democrat and niece ofJFKwho co-anchors theCBS Morning News,and he is a Reaganite who made his reputation with an oiled body.

Schwarzenegger said the reason for the success of their relationship is that Shriver had him figured out.

"I'm impatient when I want to get something done right away, and if it isn't, I go crazy," he shared. "I'll get in the car screaming about something, and she'll say, 'Oh, yeah, look good, be brutal, look like theTerminator,' and I'll start laughing. Or she'll pat my shoulder like I'm a child and say, 'Good boy, thinking about his career. Going to be a big star.' She always makes me laugh."

And what Shriver likes about Schwarzenegger?

"His sense of humor," she said. "His intelligence."

Maury Povich and Connie Chung

From PEOPLE's April 10, 1989, issue:They are the Married Media Couple of the Moment: Chung, who left NBC News for CBS and a three-year contract for close to $6 million, will slide into the Sunday anchor slot, take the helm at a magazine-style show and pinch-hit forDan Rather.

Povich, the wry host of Fox TV's successfulA Current Affair, last year also started anchoring the 7 p.m. news at the Fox station in New York.

"He's the excitement, the lightning, the recreation director," said Chung. "I'm so tight and under control. I never act on impulse."

Povich agreed. "She has not planned one vacation in our lives," he said. "She's terrible at recess."

Anjelica Huston and Jack Nicholson

From PEOPLE's July 8, 1985, issue: Prizzi's HonorcostarsJack NicholsonandAnjelica Hustonwere so popular they got their own cover story.

In it, theOscar-winning actor opened up quite a bitabout his love.

"Isn't she terrific?" he said. "She's a dark, coiled spring of a woman with long flowing lines. She's got a mind and a literary sense of style, and you better believe she's got imaginative energies. She's absolutely unpredictable, and she's very beautiful. What is it that holds me to her? It's love, I guess, and only love!"

Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet

From PEOPLE's Nov. 6, 1989, issue:Destiny led Kravitz to a chance romantic encounter backstage at a 1985New Editionconcert in Los Angeles.

"There are lots of stories concerning that night," Kravitz told PEOPLE of his love at first meeting withCosby Showstar Bonet. "But the bottom line is, I thought she was great."

Now living in a loft in downtown Manhattan, "Lisa and I just like to be together," said Kravitz. "We just hang out at home with our kid. We're kinda boring, really."

The two seemed to share a '60s kind of love, eating organic foods, wearing Woodstock-era duds and preaching peace. In fact, "Flower Child," one of the better songs on his R&B-inflected retro-rock albumLet Love Rule, is a paean to their relationship: "She wears rubies on her fingers/ Tiny bells upon her toes/ She's the finest thing I've ever seen/ Love that ring inside her nose."

Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith

From PEOPLE's Feb. 27, 1989, issue:Curled up on a sofa in the Beverly Hills Hotel,Melanie Griffithwas luxuriating in the glow of her newly brilliant career. Two days before, she'd won aGolden GlobeforWorking Girl.

But now, the one thing more dazzling than her professional prospects was a four-carat rock on her left hand, a gift from her once-and-future husband,Don Johnson.

"It's pretty, isn't it?" she burbled. "It looks like it came out of a bubble-gum machine."

On Valentine's Day, she and Johnson ended weeks of speculation with the announcement that they aregoing to have a baby.

"She's up in the clouds, she's so happy," saidher mom, actressTippi Hedren.

Griffith gave Johnson the word on theMiami Viceset.

"I got completely stupid," said Johnson. "I've been mush-faced ever since."

Guest Kristin Cavallari then asked Solomon when he started to suspect something was going on, with Solomon replying, “Late Feb into March.”

He also revealed that both he and Wilson’s ex, costarCiara Miller, “were suspicious” leading up to the statement and that Miller, 30, had told him, “Just wait for the reunion.”

Host Andy Cohen then asked the reality star what made him “suspicious” of the two.

"Our connection grew out of a genuine, long-standing friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care."

The final court appearance for Allman is scheduled for April 24, which will be a hearing regarding his mother havingfiled for conservatorship.
