I Just Realized Why 'Sirens' Star Milly Alcock Looks So Familiar—and I Can't Believe I Didn't See it Sooner

In case you missed it, there's a show on Netflix that's been holding onto the #1 spot for weeks. That show is called Sirens, and honestly? I enjoyed it. Sure, not everyone agrees, but it's got drama, mystery, suspense and just the right amount of comedic relief. But this isn't a review—let's talk about the cast.
Sirens stars Julianne Moore, Meghann Fahy and Milly Alcock. If you're anything like me, those first two names rang a bell instantly. I mean, Julianne Moore is a legend (Crazy, Stupid, Love, Still Alice, need I say more?). And Meghann Fahy has been in some faves of mine—The White Lotus, The Bold Type and The Perfect Couple.

But when it came to Milly Alcock, I had a moment of, 'Wait, I know that face.' And if you've seen House of the Dragon, you do too. Alcock played young Rhaenyra Targaryen in the HBO hit—yes, that Rhaenyra. She appeared in seven episodes and even earned two Critics' Choice Award nominations for her performance.

At just 25, Alcock already has major HBO and Netflix hits under her belt—and she's not slowing down. She's set to star in the highly anticipated Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, slated for release in 2026, which officially brings her into the DC Comics universe.
And you might not have to wait until then to see her in full superhero mode. According to IMDb, Milly is credited in the upcoming Superman movie, hitting theaters this July.
Before all that, the Australian actress was in a handful of series and projects like Reckoning, Upright and The Familiars—with her first acting credit dating back to 2014.
So yeah, Milly Alcock has been on our screens for a while now—and something tells me this is just the beginning.

Tammy Hembrow and Matt Zukowski Split After 7 Months of Marriage

Originally appeared on E! Online Tammy Hembrow and Matt Zukowski are going their separate ways. Seven months after the Australian fitness influencer and the Love Island Australia alum tied the knot during an intimate ceremony in Byron Bay, the pair announced that they've decided to end their relationship. 'I wanted to finally tell you guys that I am going to be getting a divorce,' Tammy said during a June 21 video posted to TikTok. 'I know a lot of you have been following my journey for years so I wanted to be open about it.' Leaving out the details of their split as to not 'bring anyone down,' the 31-year-old went on to express her heartbreak over the situation. 'Did I think this was gonna happen? Did I want this? No,' she continued through tears. 'Obviously, when you marry someone, you do it thinking that it's gonna be forever. And I blame no one but myself, to be honest." More from E!

'I feel like I'm really good at putting on rose-colored glasses or just getting swept up in it all.' But while she made it clear that she was going to be okay, Tammy—who shares kids Wolf, 10, and Saskia, 8, with her ex Reece Hawkins as well as Posy, 3, with ex-boyfriend Matt Poole—said that the 'worst part' of her and Matt's separation is the effect it might have on her little ones. So, she decided to focus on spending time with her kids and enjoying 'all the good things in my life' moving forward. 'At the end of the day, I know this is what needs to happen,' she admitted. 'There's no other option.' For his part, the reality star—who proposed to Tammy in 2023 after just three months of dating—confirmed their breakup with a social media message that same day. 'It's with a heavy heart I share that Tammy and I have decided to separate,' Matt wrote on his Instagram Stories June 21. 'Both of us have struggled with making this decision however, we need to do what is right for ourselves and her 3 children.' 'This wasn't a decision we took lightly,' the 29-year-old added.

Jam expert Donna Collins trashes Meghan Markle's As Ever apricot spread: ‘There's no excuse for this'

The queen of jam has spoken. Jam expert Donna Collins trashed the new apricot spread from Meghan Markle's As Ever lifestyle brand. 'It's a real disappointment that Meghan is selling a fruit spread, which is what you make when your jam fails,' Collins said, according to the Daily Mail. 9 Donna Collins. The Jelly Queens 9 Meghan Markle cooking in her kitchen. Netflix 'In the jam industry a spread is what we call something that didn't work,' the Jelly Queens owner continued. 'It can have the best ingredients, but if I had a jam that was too runny, I'd slap a label on it and call it a spread.' 'There's no excuse for this,' Collins added. 'It should be perfect.' 9 Meghan Markle in an Instagram video. @meghan/Instagram 9 Meghan Markle making jam with her daughter, Lilibet. The 'MasterChef' alum, who has reportedly won over 40 world championship honors in jam-making competitions, also called out Markle, 43, for her 'conventionally grown apricots, which will have used pesticides.' 'And why is she using pectin, which is a gelling agent, unless it's because her spread was too runny?' Collins asked. 'Most spreads don't use pectin.' 9 Meghan Markle's homemade jam. @heatherdorak/Instagram On Friday, Markle released her new apricot spread in an individual jar for $9 and keepsake packaging for $14. Both items quickly sold out. 'Her apricot spread sold out in minutes, just like her earlier raspberry spread, which may mean they only made a small batch,' Collins surmised. 'I don't know who's making her spread,' the jam guru continued, 'but we all know it's not Meghan. It sounds like they really don't know what they are doing.' 9 Meghan Markle cooking in her kitchen. meghan/Instagram The Post has reached out to Markle's reps for comment. Markle revealed her plans to sell homemade jam after announcing her own lifestyle company last year. The 'Suits' alum even sent out lemon-filled gift baskets containing fresh fruit jam to 50 of her friends last summer. 9 Meghan Markle and Prince Harry at Beyonce's Cowboy Carter tour in Los Angeles.
