Gossip Girl actor Ed Westwick has announced that he and Bollywood actress girlfriend Amy Jackson are engaged.
Westwick, 36, who played character Chuck Bass in the US teen drama, which ran from 2007 until 2012, popped the question during a ski trip in Switzerland.
Taking to Instagram on Monday, he and Jackson, 31, shared a joined post revealing their happy news, along with a slew of images of the big moment.
One image saw Jackson holding her hands up to her mouth in shock as Westwick, who was down on one knee, held up a ring box.
The setting looked picturesque as they were on a bridge leading up a mountain blanketed with powder white snow.
Another saw them on the same bridge beaming at the camera as Jackson hugged her husband-to-be from behind.
The accompanying caption read: “Hell YES!”
This will be the first trip down the aisle for both of them.
Jackson, who has starred in a string of Indian films, predominantly in Tamil, Hindi, and Telugu languages, was previously engaged to hotelier George Panayiotou, with whom she shares four-year-old son Andreas.
Westwick and Jackson first met at Silverstone racetrack in 2021 where both were attending an Aston Martin event.
He asked her out on a double coffee date with their dogs, her poodle Herbert and his Frenchie, Humphrey. They went Instagram official in June 2022 and have since featured regularly on each other’s grids.

Westwick hinted at what was to come last year when asked in an interview with Hello magazine about the prospect of marriage and children.
“Yes! One hundred per cent. I grew up in a wonderful household where my mum and dad were married,” he told the publication.
“My parents loved each other fiercely right up to the end. I idolised them and their relationship. Just that kind of support!”
His dad passed away 11 years ago while his mother died in September 2022 from Mesothelioma – a type of cancer caused by asbestos.

Fighter had its OTT release on Netflix on March 21, 2024. Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone and Anil Kapoor’s aerial action film was released in theatres on January 25, 2024. On Thursday, Hrithik took to Instagram Stories to re-share a tweet about Fighter leaving behind Ranbir Kapoor‘s blockbuster Animal and Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Dunki to become the most viewed Hindi film in first 10 days on Netflix.

Originally shared by Bollywood Box Office on X, the tweet read, “Fighter has broken all previous records on Netflix for a Bollywood Film, leaving behind the previous bests Animal and Dunki by a wide margin. This Hrithik Roshan-starrer garnered 12.4 million views in just 10 days. It has become the fastest Bollywood film to get these figures.” Sharing it on Instagram Stories, Hrithik wrote, “Yo! (dizzy emoji).”
Animal dropped on Netflix on January 26, 2024, on the occasion of Republic Day, while Dunki made its debut on the platform on February 15, 2024. While Animal was released in theatres on December 1, 2023, Dunki’s theatrical release date was December 21, 2023.
The film, directed by Siddharth Anand, features Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone, Anil Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover and Akshay Oberoi as IAF officers. It is about a new and elite unit, Air Dragons, which is commissioned by the Air Headquarters in response to militant activities in Kashmir.
As an excerpt from Hindustan Times’ Fighter movie review read, “Fighter is a full-on entertainer that engages and excites in equal parts. It is high on patriotism but it never resorts to chest-thumping chants of Jai Hind or Hindustan Zindabad. The scene where Hrithik makes a reference to IOP (India Occupied Pakistan) in the climax certainly calls for loud cheers, and proves why Hindi films know best how to show love for their country. Watch Fighter for a pure paisa vasool experience, good-looking performances and some gravity-defying aerial action that won’t give you a headache but leave you with a sense of pride.”

Gender Pay Gap: Modeling Agent Says Industry's Pay Gap Unfair – TIME

Published

A top modeling agent wants to end the industry’s gender pay gap—which, unlike most industries, advantages women over men.
Elizabeth Rose, the director of London’s Premier Model Management, told BBC that she wants her female and male clients to get paid the same rate for the same work. The industry’s pay gap has been documented before, with Fortune reporting that the top female models bring home millions more dollars than men. For instance, Gisele Bündchen, the highest earning female model, brought home $42 million in 2013, per Forbes, while the top earning male model, Sean O’Pry, only took home $1.5 million that year.
“It’s unfair for men [and] I wouldn’t say it’s female empowerment at all,” Rose told BBC.
Follow Motto on Facebook.
One reason for the pay gap? The women’s fashion industry brings in $621 billion worldwide a year, while the men’s industry only makes $4oo billion, according to ABC. And while female models can become household names, sign multi-million contracts for brands, and walk the runways at much-publicized fashion weeks twice a year, male models just don’t get the same attention.
But of course, modeling is only one of a few industries where women make more than men. In 2015, women, on average, made only about 80% of what men made.
Still, Rose says she’s determined to make sure male models aren’t discriminated against because of their gender, asking companies she works with to pay male models as much as female models.
“The more models are made aware of it, the more you can try and help change it, because the more agents that say, ‘No, we’re not accepting this,’ that’s the only way it’ll ever change,” Rose told BBC. “And models standing up and saying, ‘I’m not going to do this unless I’m paid the same as the woman.’”
