<p><em>Leverage</em> star Gina Bellman is opening up about her own breast cancer journey after being inspired by <a href="http://www.etonline.com/people/kate-middleton" rel="" target="_blank">Kate Middleton</a>'s recent&nbsp; announcement.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The 57-year-old actress took to X (formerly Twitter) to praise the Princess of Wales for her video announcement on Friday.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Catherine The Princess of Wales displayed such composure and grace today in her heartbreaking announcement. Hoping her treatment is successful and also for a kinder world," Bellman <a href="https://twitter.com/Ginabellman/status/1771256703649984552" rel="" target="_blank">tweeted.</a>&nbsp;</p>

<p>She went on to reveal her own diagnosis.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I myself underwent treatment for Breast Cancer last summer. Until now- I didn’t have the courage to go public," <a href="https://twitter.com/Ginabellman/status/1771258866900054211" rel="" target="_blank">she added</a>. "[Eight] months on I’m back in stilettos and filming 14 hour days. For those undergoing treatment right now- there is light at the end of this tunnel."</p>

<p>Bellman later shared her thanks for the support following her announcement, <a href="https://twitter.com/Ginabellman/status/1771956342862844119" rel="" target="_blank">writing</a>, "Thank you all for the ❤️ I do think the Leverage world is a little cocoon of kindness xx."</p>

<p>Bellman played Sophie Devereux on the hit TV series and the spin-off, <em>Leverage: Redemption</em>. She also played Jane Christie on the series, <em>Coupling</em>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On Friday, after weeks of speculation surrounding her whereabouts, the Princess of Wales <a href="https://www.etonline.com/everything-kate-middleton-shared-about-her-cancer-diagnosis-in-emotional-video-222237" rel="" target="_blank">released an official video</a>, detailing that she was in the early stages of preventative chemo for cancer. Though the senior royal did not share what type of cancer or what stage, she did call the diagnosis a "huge shock."&nbsp;</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-caption="Kate Middleton, Prince William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="d2d00a05-172e-4f47-9feb-d60da8f3d1e1" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>Kate shared that she and her husband, <a href="http://www.etonline.com/people/prince-william" rel="" target="_blank">Prince William</a>, held off on sharing the news with their three children — Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5 — leading them to keep the diagnosis private for months.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"As I have said to [my children]; I am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal; in my mind, body and spirits," Kate said in her message.&nbsp;</p>

'Leverage' Actress Gina Bellman Reveals Breast Cancer Diagnosis

<p><a href="http://www.etonline.com/people/juan-pablo-galavis" rel="" target="_blank">Juan Pablo Galavis</a> played the role of a proud dad during Sunday's final audition episode of <a href="http://www.etonline.com/tv/american-idol" rel="" target="_blank"><em>American Idol</em></a>. The Bachelor alum's 14-year-old daughter, Camila Galavis, auditioned for the ABC music competition and became the youngest contestant on this season.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The freshman in high school introduced her reality star dad, telling judges <a href="http://www.etonline.com/people/lionel-richie" rel="" target="_blank">Lionel Richie</a>, <a href="http://www.etonline.com/people/katy-perry" rel="" target="_blank">Katy Perry</a>&nbsp;and <a href="http://www.etonline.com/people/luke-bryan" rel="" target="_blank">Luke Bryan</a>, "My dad, he's a manager in the social media industry because he was on <em>The Bachelor</em>."</p>

<p>After Camila revealed who her famous dad is, Bryan quipped of Juan Pablo, "He's dreamy!"&nbsp;</p>

<p>Of course, Juan Pablo made a cameo, sitting in on his daughter's audition. He claimed that he was hesitant to have his only child head into the world of television.&nbsp;</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-caption="Camila and Juan Pablo Galavis on &amp;#039;American Idol&amp;#039;" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="3ee3af82-b1af-44cd-9c5f-46931f61c65a" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>"She's been singing since she's little. The opportunity came. She wanted to do it, and I said, 'I don't know if you're old enough.' That was last year. They said, 'Maybe next year,'" Juan Pablo recalled.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Singing "Rabia" by Joaquina, Camila belted out the track as Juan Pablo was seen looking like a proper stage dad and mouthing along to the lyrics.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"You've got a good voice. It sounds a little young. It's very, like, it's got lots of personality," Perry told Camila. "It's very youthful. I'm just looking for some of those notes that could come out and really compete with the other contestants."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="2641bc8e-4709-4efd-ad82-b5c67236f378" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>Saying he loved Camila's "confidence" and "personality," Bryan praised Camila's sound, noting the pop tone to her voice was "very listenable."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I think your biggest hurdle is the big high notes are still giving you a little bit of trouble. I mean, you're so young. I just don't know if it's ready yet," Bryan admitted, before somewhat backtracking. "Let me say one thing, I think the right producer right now could take your voice and cut a hit album on you right now, but in this competition, I think you're gonna get swallowed up a little bit."</p>

<p>Though Richie voted no to send Camila forward, Perry voted yes, saying, "The biggest growing genre in music is Spanish music. You are authentically that. So it's a yes from me."</p>

<p>It came down to Bryan who said, "I wrote, 'No,' on my page but then I told you the right producer could give you a hit song, so I'm giving you a yes, just based on that. Because you've got a radio tone."</p>

<p>As the judges all hugged Camila and told her she was going to Hollywood, Bryan reiterated, "You barely made it in."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-caption="Juan Pablo Galavis on &amp;#039;American Idol&amp;#039;" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="9cfb616a-c2b7-472e-a508-a59b8882eed1" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>Proud dad Juan Pablo looked teary watching the response to his daughter's performance.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Bachelor Nation first met Juan Pablo on Desiree Hartsock's season of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/the-bachelorette" target="_blank"><i>The Bachelorette</i></a><i>&nbsp;</i>in 2013. The following year, Juan Pablo led season 18 of&nbsp;<i>The Bachelor</i>. He ended the season by choosing Nikki Ferrell, though he did not propose. The pair ended their relationship later that year.</p>

<p>Juan Pablo's second runner-up,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/andi-dorfman" target="_blank">Andi Dorfman</a>, became the next Bachelorette, while his first runner-up,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/clare-crawley" target="_blank">Clare Crawley</a>, went on to compete on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/bachelor-in-paradise" target="_blank"><i>Bachelor in Paradise</i></a><i>&nbsp;</i>and&nbsp;<i>Bachelor Winter Games</i>, before leading her own season of&nbsp;<i>The Bachelorette&nbsp;</i>in 2020.</p>

<p>While Clare got engaged to Dale Moss on her season of the show, the pair eventually called off their relationship. Clare&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/bachelorette-alum-clare-crawley-marries-ryan-dawkins-198431" target="_blank">tied the knot</a>&nbsp;with Ryan Dawkins in February 2023, and the couple&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/the-bachelorette-alum-clare-crawley-welcomes-baby-girl-via-surrogate-dream-come-true-218051" target="_blank">welcomed a daughter</a>&nbsp;less than a year later.</p>

Juan Pablo Galavis' Daughter Camila Becomes Season's Youngest 'American Idol' Contestant at 14

<p><a href="http://www.etonline.com/people/rebel-wilson" rel="" target="_blank">Rebel Wilson</a> is refusing to be silenced. The 44-year-old Australian actress took to her Instagram Stories early Monday morning to release the name of an A-lister she refers to as an "a**hole" in <a href="https://www.etonline.com/rebel-wilson-explains-why-writing-her-upcoming-memoir-was-gut-wrenching-217079" rel="" target="_blank">her upcoming memoir</a>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I will not be bullied or silenced by high priced lawyers or PR crisis managers," Wilson wrote. "The 'a**hole' that I am talking about in ONE CHAPTER of my book is: Sacha Baron Cohen."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Wilson and Baron Cohen co-starred in the 2016 film, <em>The Brothers Grimsby</em>, together. Baron Cohen, who shares three children with wife, Isla Fisher, and is best known for <em>Borat, Brüno, Ali G</em> and more, has not publicly commented on the claims.&nbsp;</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-caption="Rebel Wilson&amp;#039;s Instagram Story" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="1d2caa4e-d5a8-4371-bfdd-8cbcd8c6ceb9" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>Wilson's upcoming memoir,<em> Rebel Rising</em>, is being released on April 2. She previously teased naming the "a**hole," in a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C4ikheULuRA/" rel="" target="_blank">March 15 Instagram</a> video.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"When I first came to Hollywood, people were like, 'Yeah, I have a no a**hole policy. I don't work with a**holes.' I was like, 'Oh yeah, that sounds sensible, logical,' but then it really sunk in what they were meaning by that, older people in the industry," Wilson reflected. "Because I worked with a massive a**hole and, yeah, I definitely have a no a**holes policy. A chapter on said a**hole is chapter 23. That guy was a massive a**hole."</p>

<p>During a 2014 appearance on the <a href="https://www.couriermail.com.au/entertainment/television/rebel-wilson-was-asked-to-do-a-nude-scene-by-sacha-baron-cohen/news-story/ab70c5f8bb75874450c79b6914a7d4f9" rel="" target="_blank"><em>Kyle and Jackie O on KIIS FM</em></a> radio show, Wilson accused Baron Cohen of repeatedly asking her to do nude scenes in the film.&nbsp;</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-caption="Sacha Baron Cohen at &amp;#039;The Brothers Grimsby&amp;#039; Germany premiere" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="e23b246b-905c-47d7-8099-2110c07f4c36" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>"Sacha is so outrageous," she said at the time. "Every single day he's like, 'Rebel, can you just go naked in this scene?' And I'm like, 'No!'"&nbsp;</p>

<p>Noting that they had the same American agent, she added, "I'm like, 'Sacha, I'm going to call our agent, Sharon, and tell her how much you are harassing me."&nbsp;</p>

<p>She said that though Baron Cohen hired a body double to perform the nude scene, she claimed at the time that he asked her to stick her finger up his butt in one scene.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"He’s like, 'Look, I'll just pull down my pants, you just stick your finger up my butt, it'll be a really funny bit,'" Wilson alleged, noting that she refused.&nbsp;</p>

<p><em>Rebel Rising&nbsp;</em>will be released on April 2.&nbsp;</p>

Rebel Wilson Reveals Name of A-List 'A**hole' She Has a Chapter About in Her Memoir

<p>One proud boyfriend! After making their red carpet debut at the <em>Vanity Fair</em> Oscars after-party earlier this month, <a href="http://www.etonline.com/people/justin-theroux" rel="" target="_blank">Justin Theroux</a> and his girlfriend, Nicole Brydon Bloom, attended yet another event together on Thursday evening.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Bloom, 29, stepped out at the Los Angeles premiere of her Hulu show,&nbsp;<em>We Were the Lucky Ones</em>, at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in a strapless cream dress and heels with Theroux, 52, by her side.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The <em>Beetlejuice Beetlejuice</em> actor rocked an all-black look in a black suit with a black T-shirt and a gold chain necklace.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The couple posed with their arms around one another and were all smiles for the special occasion.&nbsp;</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-caption="Nicole Brydon Bloom and Justin Theroux at &amp;#039;We Were the Lucky Ones&amp;#039; premiere" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="44ea221c-2347-42a7-8846-d190ae781c5a" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>ET's Ash Crossan spoke with Bloom at the event, where she talked about Theroux's support, saying, "He's excited. So am I. Such an exciting evening."</p>

<p>As for the emotionally charged project about a Jewish family separated during World War II, Bloom shared that the cast bonded while filming the moving miniseries.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It kind of felt like summer camp in a way. We're all abroad filming together," she said. "It is heavy but I think it's about humanity."&nbsp;</p>

<p>In addition to Bloom, the series also stars Logan Lerman, Joey King and Sam Woolf.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Bloom and Theroux first sparked dating rumors last summer, when they were spotted out on a PDA-heavy date in New York City. They hit up the celebrity hot spot&nbsp;Altro Paradiso, where they shared a kiss. Afterward, Theroux and Bloom -- who also stars in season 2 of HBO's&nbsp;<i>The Gilded Age</i>&nbsp;-- went to a very familiar place for the actor, Ray's Bar, which Theroux co-owns.</p>

<p>An eyewitness told ET they stayed pretty close throughout the night, which the eyewitness said ended at Theroux's bachelor pad. This PDA-heavy date marked the first time the&nbsp;<i>Leftovers</i>&nbsp;star had been pictured being romantic with a woman since his 2018 split from&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/jennifer-aniston" target="_blank">Jennifer Aniston</a>.</p>

<p>As for Bloom's background, she is the daughter of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.today.com/allday/10-years-later-david-bloom-remembered-1B9239813" target="_blank">late NBC News correspondent</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<i>Weekend TODAY</i>&nbsp;co-anchor, David Bloom, who died in April 2003 at 39 from a pulmonary embolism while covering the war in Iraq.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Bloom has also appeared in&nbsp;<i>Here on Out</i>,&nbsp;<i>Law &amp; Order: Special Victims Unit</i>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<i>The Affair</i>.</p>

<p><em>We Were the Lucky Ones</em> premieres March 28 on Hulu. For more from the premiere, watch ET's exclusive interview below:</p>

Nicole Brydon Bloom Says Justin Theroux Is 'Excited' for Her at 'We Were the Lucky Ones' Premiere (Exclusive)

<p>Sounds like the honeymoon stage might be over between <a href="http://www.etonline.com/people/christine-brown" rel="" target="_blank">Christine Brown</a> and her new husband, <a href="http://www.etonline.com/people/david-woolley" rel="" target="_blank">David Woolley</a>. On Thursday, the <a href="http://www.etonline.com/tv/sister-wives" rel="" target="_blank"><em>Sister Wives</em></a> star took to her Instagram Stories to share one of her "car confessions," and this one revolved around David's driving habits.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Whenever David drives my car, he backs into the garage, just like I like him to," she says of her husband at their Utah home. "But then he parks so close to the wall that it's super difficult to get out."</p>

<p>The TLC star then imitated her husband, jokingly saying, "And he's like, 'Look at my impressive backing up skills, ha ha ha, I'm gonna trap you in, ha ha ha,' and he does, every single time!"</p>

<p>David and Christine tied the knot in October 2023 after less than a year of dating. David was Christine's first serious relationship following her 2021 split from the father of her six children, <a href="http://www.etonline.com/people/kody-brown" rel="" target="_blank">Kody Brown</a>.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/christine-brown-defends-her-social-media-use-after-garrison-browns-death-i-have-to-keep-working" rel="" target="_blank">Christine has been struggling</a> with her return to daily life in the wake of Garrison Brown's death. Garrison was the 25-year-old son of Kody and Christine's sister wife, <a href="http://www.etonline.com/people/janelle-brown" rel="" target="_blank">Janelle Brown</a>, whom she considered to be a son of her own.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Earlier this week, Christine shared an emotional video, saying, "It's been two weeks since Garrison's death. It's never easier to say, and I have to keep working because it's what I understand. It's what I know. It's what I know I need to do."&nbsp;</p>

<p>She went on to add, "It's a terrible thing to lose your son. And we're going to miss him all the time, every single day for the rest of our lives, so we've gotta just keep moving forward because otherwise, I would just want to stay in bed all day."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.instagram.com/p/C4wEGcrPe9R/">&nbsp;</div>

<p>Garrison died earlier this month of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was 25. Several of his siblings and family members have spoken out in the wake of his death.&nbsp;</p>

<p>At the time, Janelle released a joint statement with her ex, writing, "Kody and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown. He was a bright spot in the lives of all who knew him. His loss will leave such a big hole in our lives that it takes our breath away. We ask that you please respect our privacy and join us in honoring his memory."&nbsp;</p>

Kris Jenner Steps Out After Sister Karen Houghton’s Death With Kylie Jenner and Khloé Kardashian

<p><a href="http://www.etonline.com/people/jimmy-kimmel" rel="" target="_blank">Jimmy Kimmel</a> and <a href="http://www.etonline.com/people/regina-king" rel="" target="_blank">Regina King</a> shared a touching moment together during Thursday night's <em>Jimmy Kimmel Live</em>. The Oscar-winning actress was a guest on the late night show, promoting her new film <em>Shirley</em>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>And while there was no direct mention of King's late son, Ian Jr., who died in January 2022 of a reported suicide, it was clear his loss was felt.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It's very good to see you. How are you doing <em>right now</em>?" Kimmel asked, with a pointed emphasis.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Right now, I'm good," King replied smiling.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Good, I'm glad to hear that," a visibly emotional Kimmel replied, fighting back tears. "I know you've been through a lot the last year."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-caption="Regina King and Jimmy Kimmel" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="99fe1934-ca37-4c11-9752-a89f8e5e4637" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>King picked up on the host's emotions, reaching out and holding Kimmel's hand.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It's good to see you Jimmy," she said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kimmel fought to find words before landing on, "Umm, did you see William Shatner backstage?" which prompted King to laugh.&nbsp;</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-caption="Regina King and Jimmy Kimmel" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="fb960ffa-7436-4cda-ab64-4bc22e74579c" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>The rest of the interview did not contain any mention of the actress' late son, however, she has spoken about him several times recently as she's returned to the public eye.&nbsp;</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72NnjYH9G_8">&nbsp;</div>

<p>Ian Alexander Jr. was the only child of King and her ex-husband, record producer, Ian Alexander. The exes were married in 1997 and were together for a decade before divorcing. According to multiple reports, Ian Jr.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/regina-king-devastated-after-26-year-old-son-ian-alexander-dies-178183" target="_blank"><b>died by suicide shortly</b></a>&nbsp;after celebrating his 26th birthday in 2022.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Earlier this month, she spoke with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/robin-roberts" target="_blank"><b>Robin Roberts</b></a>&nbsp;on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/culture/story/regina-king-speaks-1st-time-sons-death-grief-108083006" target="_blank"><b><i>Good Morning America</i></b></a>, reflecting on what life has been like for her since her 26-year-old son's death.</p>

<p>"I'm a different person now, than I was then on Jan. 19," King shared at the time. "Grief is a journey, you know?"</p>

<p>"I understand&nbsp;that grief is love that has no place to go," King said, "and that we all handle it differently."</p>

<p>"I know that it's important for me to honor Ian and the totality of who he is," King said on <em>GMA</em>. She noted that she prefers to "speak about him in the present, because he's always with me."&nbsp;</p>

<p>King also opened up about her child's mental health struggles.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"When it comes to depression, people expect it to look a certain way and they expect it to look heavy," she said, pausing to collect herself.&nbsp;</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-caption="Regina King and son Ian Jr." data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="2e4270b9-6fbf-4b7d-87d4-e77e34111bc5" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>King continued,&nbsp;"To have to experience this and not be able to have the time to just sit with Ian's choice, which I respect and understand, that he didn't want to be here anymore -- that's a hard thing for people to receive because they did not live our experience. They did not live Ian's journey."&nbsp;</p>

<p>The actress admitted to being "so angry with God" for giving "that weight" of depression to Ian.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"All of the things that we had gone through, the therapy, psychiatrists and programs and he just, Ian was like, 'I'm tired of talking, Mom,'" she recalled. "My favorite thing about myself is being Ian's mom and I can't say that with a smile, with tears, with all of the emotions that come with that, I can't do that if I did not respect the journey."</p>

<p>"When a parent loses a child, you still wonder what could I have done so that wouldn't have happened," she admitted. "I know that I share this grief with everyone, but no one else is Ian's mom. Only me. And so, it's mine and the sadness will never go away. It will always be with me, and I think I saw somewhere, 'The sadness is a reminder of how much he means to me.'"</p>

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/regina-king-reflects-on-working-with-the-late-lance-reddick-in-shirley-exclusive-222033" rel="" target="_blank">ET spoke with King </a>earlier this month about her son's mark on her upcoming film,&nbsp;<em>Shirley,</em>&nbsp;a biopic about the first Black woman congresswoman, Shirley Chisholm.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"We got here with him, he's a part of it," King said of her son. "He's right here, he's covered this whole thing."</p>

<p>Natalie also posted a tribute to her late mother on Instagram, writing, "Dear Mommy, I can’t believe your gone. This doesn’t even feel real. I keep hoping that I will get to hug you or kiss you or hear your voice one last time. You were my best friend, my everything. The best mother a daughter could ever ask for and I’m so grateful to have had a mother like you. You were the most kind, sweet, loving, giving, and caring soul. You had the biggest heart. And I don’t know how to go on without you. It all happened so quick &amp; I wasn’t ready for you to go. An angel 👼 was sent to heaven on March 18th, 2024. I love you mommy and you will forever be missed. 😔💔"</p>

<p><a href="http://www.etonline.com/people/sara-evans" rel="" target="_blank">Sara Evans</a> is opening up like never before, detailing the reasons she's decided to stay in her marriage to Jay Barker after filing for divorce in 2021.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the first episode of her brand-new podcast, <em>Diving In Deep With Sara Evans</em>, the 53-year-old country singer told her side of the <a href="https://www.etonline.com/sara-evans-estranged-husband-jay-barker-arrested-after-allegedly-attempting-to-hit-her-with-his-car" rel="" target="_blank">2022 altercation</a> that led to Barker's arrest and how the couple moved past a dark time in their marriage.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Noting that she met Barker when she was coming out of a "horrible divorce," Evans admitted that their relationship had a troubled beginning.&nbsp;</p>

<p>From 1993 to 2007, Evans was married to Craig Schelske, the father of her three children -- son Avery, 24, and daughters, Olivia, 21, and Audrey, 19. Evans met Barker in 2007 and says that he helped her raise her kids.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I was determined that my children would not go through another divorce. Also, he raised them," she said of Barker.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, Evans noted that she was "very submissive" in the relationship, alleging that Barker "loved" that.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"He became addicted to being the boss of me, wanting to control me," she claimed of her husband.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Alleging that Barker's seven-year NFL career gave him "war-like PTSD because it's so violent," she noted that privately they'd have big fights but her children were never aware of them.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It ended up being a very one-sided, volatile relationship with a lot of passion. I could tell that things were getting bad," she said. "I've never loved anybody the way that I love him. I've also never been driven crazy the way that he drives me crazy. Something started happening to Jay."</p>

<p>She claimed that her husband didn't start drinking alcohol until after he met her and "it made him worse."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The safety of being married to me, knowing that I'm a soft place to land, I think the safety of that backfired a little bit," she said.&nbsp;</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="f23562da-1b34-4110-99de-d498a21817ba" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>Evans said they separated in July 2020 after a "horrible fight" that "scared" her, but the singer said she was "devastated" by the decision.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Every step I took away from Jay I was forcing myself because I didn't want to," she shared.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Slowly the estranged couple began having secret meetups and in January 2022, she said he hit "rock bottom."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Speaking about the situation for the first time publicly, Evans shared that in 2022, one of her daughters was with her when Barker came to see her at an outdoor party. While in his car, she said he reversed the car with great speed.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It really scared me and it scared all of us, especially my child who was with me," Evans recalled. "He had a verbal altercation with my child who had never seen that side of him ever, and it scared the s**t out of her. Then he jumped in his truck and he started backing up at a very high speed. I knew Jay, so I didn't feel the same way that my child felt. My child thought that he was going to plow our car down, that he was backing up toward our car and that she was about to watch something horrific or at the very least an accident."</p>

<p>Evans said her daughter called the police, but the singer still didn't feel Barker was a threat to her.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I'd been privately having these experiences with Jay for 13 years, 14 years. It was a first for her," she said of her daughter. "I really, honestly don't think he was trying to hit our car. I think he was trying to back up as fast as he could to see who I was in the car with. To see if I was with another man."&nbsp;</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="2929a9e7-8d41-41e3-a7b2-cbbd88e28110" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>Evans said she asked police not to arrest her husband, but that they ignored her request, stating that, by law, they had to.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Barker was charged with felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, which included a 12-hour hold, the sheriff's office&nbsp;rep previously told ET. He was released on $10,000 bond the same day. Evans and a witness told police that Barker was "intentionally" trying to hit them with his car, per previous reports.&nbsp;</p>

<p>At the time, Barker posted about the incident online.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I am humbled beyond words by the support I have received from friends, supporters, and so many in the Alabama family. To all of you, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for your thoughts and prayers," he wrote. "We all confront challenges in life, and my family and I are facing one now."</p>

<p>"Unfortunately, headlines and quick-to-publish news stories do not adequately capture the full context and complex fabric of our lives," he added. "I love my family dearly, and at this difficult time, I respectfully ask for privacy for the sake of my family and especially for our kids."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Evans initially stayed away from her husband, and though they'd been told by the judge and their legal teams that they were not to speak, Evans said Barker reached out to her via text three months later, saying she was still his wife.</p>

<p>"A lot of women will judge me and will want to judge me, but when he said, 'You're still my wife,' I don't know. I just melted because I thought, 'I am still your wife and we can talk if we want to.' We're both still adults," she recalled. "He said, 'I will literally do anything not to lose you. I will literally do whatever you tell me to do.' I'll go away. I'll do rehab."&nbsp;</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="54e1a81a-0411-4986-a6a4-3e03ff269186" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>Evans set some rules for a potential future for their marriage, saying Barker had to be both in individual counseling and in marriage counseling for the rest of their lives.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"And when we go to marriage counseling, we have to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth," she insisted.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Stating that she now feels that she and Barker have a "much more balanced" marriage with "mutual respect," Evans said that over time, her children have forgiven her husband for his actions.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I don't encourage all women to do this. Every situation is different. Some situations are a lot more dangerous than mine. Some situations are less, but they should still probably divorce. But I just didn't want to divorce again and start over. I pictured myself being alone and missing him," she said. "I just didn't want to not be married to him… People can change because he's a totally different person."</p>

<p>Saying she's "happier" than she's ever been, Evans was careful to reiterate, "[Domestic abuse] is absolutely never, ever right and it's never something to be taken lightly… Every woman needs to follow her gut and do what's best for her… I truly now believe that we are going to stay together forever and be very happy, but it's not going to be without rules that I put into place."</p>
