Selena Gomez is facing a lawsuit from five investors who backed Wondermind Global, the mental health company she co-founded with her mother, Mandy Teefey, and entrepreneur Daniella Pierson.

The investors are seeking to recover about $1.2 million they say they put into the business, along with damages and legal costs. The lawsuit alleges that Gomez and the other founders made commitments about the company’s plans and operations that were not fulfilled.

A central allegation concerns Gomez’s role in Wondermind’s development. According to the complaint, investors were told she would be “actively building” the company as its head of marketing. The claim further alleges that Gomez signed an agreement to perform those duties but later failed to do so.

The investors also allege that Wondermind was presented as having several revenue-generating initiatives in development, including advertising partnerships, celebrity cover stories and a mobile app. The complaint also alleges that investors were told Wondermind had secured institutional partnerships with JPMorgan and Fidelity, which were expected to generate advertising revenue. According to the lawsuit, none of those initiatives or partnerships materialised.

Wondermind was founded in 2021 with the goal of making mental health and wellness content more accessible. Gomez had already spoken publicly about her own experiences with mental health.

The investors claim Wondermind struggled financially and eventually failed to meet basic business obligations, including paying employees and vendors on time. They also allege that they were not properly informed about the company’s financial and operational problems.

According to the complaint, the investors only became aware of the extent of Wondermind’s difficulties after September 2025 investigation by The Cut examined the company’s finances and management.

After learning about Wondermind’s financial and operational problems, the investors allegedly demanded that their money be returned. According to the lawsuit, Teefey told them that the funds would be placed in an escrow account for repayment, but the money was never returned. The investors say their attempts to obtain repayment and further information eventually went unanswered, leaving them to seek the return of their investments through the lawsuit.

Gomez remains listed as a co-founder on Wondermind’s website, while her mother now serves as chief executive following Pierson’s departure from the company.

The lawsuit does not establish that the allegations are true. Gomez and Wondermind have been contacted for comment, but neither had responded at the time of publication.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez are married. The longtime couple tied the knot in a civil ceremony on August 11 in Cascais, Portugal, surrounded by their five children.

He shared the news on Instagram with a photo of their hands, showing off their wedding rings and the simple caption, “C❤️G.” The pair met in 2017, when Rodríguez was working as a sales assistant at Gucci. They made their red carpet debut later that year at the Best FIFA Football Awards in Zurich before making their relationship official on social media.

Over the years, their relationship grew into a family life that they largely shared with the public. They are parents to daughters Alana and Bella, twins Eva Maria and Mateo, and Ronaldo’s eldest son, Cristiano Jr., from a previous relationship. The couple also experienced the loss of Bella’s twin brother, Ángel, in 2022.

Ronaldo has previously spoken about how unexpectedly serious the relationship became. In I Am Georgina, Rodríguez’s Netflix series, he recalled initially being unsure where their romance would lead before eventually realising she was “the woman of my life.”

Their engagement came after years together. Rodríguez announced it on Instagram in August 2025 with a photograph showing her hand over Ronaldo’s and her oval-shaped diamond engagement ring. “Sí, quiero. En esta y en todas mis vidas,” she wrote, meaning, “Yes, I do. In this and in all my lives.”

Speaking about the proposal in a December 2025 interview with Elle Spain, Rodríguez said she was shocked when Ronaldo asked her to marry him. She also joked about the enormous engagement ring, calling it “the least he could offer me after 10 years of waiting.”

Now, after years of building a life and family together, Ronaldo and Rodríguez have officially become husband and wife in an intimate celebration in Portugal.

Brad Pitt has said he is no longer sober, ending seven years of abstinence and returning to alcohol with what he describes as a more measured approach. In a new interview with “Esquire,”  Pitt said he had remained sober for seven years before deciding to drink again. He described the change as getting “back off the wagon,” adding that he “got overconfident a couple times” before realising that drinking in large quantities was “not good” for him. He said moderation is now important, particularly when it comes to how much he drinks.

The acknowledgment comes after years in which Pitt spoke openly about alcohol and recovery. Following his 2016 split from Angelina Jolie, he sought help through Alcoholics Anonymous. In 2020 he publicly thanked Bradley Cooper for supporting him through that period, crediting him with helping him get sober and saying his life had become happier as a result.

On Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” in 2025, Pitt described the 12-step program as a positive experience and spoke about taking responsibility for past behavior. He also reflected on his recovery and the changes he had made in his life.

In his new interview with “Esquire,” Pitt spoke about moving through grief rather than avoiding it. “I just one day woke up, and it just felt a little sunnier and the air felt a little sweeter,” he told the magazine, describing the small changes that helped him move forward.

He says he is being more deliberate about his limits and how much he drinks. For a public figure who has made his sobriety a significant part of his public story, the latest disclosure puts his relationship with alcohol in a different light. After seven years without alcohol, Pitt is choosing to drink again, but on terms he says he is actively managing.
