Hi Fam 🌈
If there is one man guaranteed to drive us loca, it’s the one and only Ricky Martin! So of course when PRIDE sat down with him, we not only had to ask about his new show Palm Royale, but also his thirst-trapping ways on Instagram. His answers to both were, ahem, quite revealing.
This week, PRIDE also caught up with The Masked Singer winner 🚨🚨 spoiler alert 🚨🚨 Vanessa Hudgens, the cast of Interview with the Vampire, and We’re Here star Priyanka who had us positively cackling! We also learned about the soft jock phenomena, and why we want to slide into the DMs of Tortured Man Club boys. And of course, we laughed over Trump’s dance moves getting properly roasted... and so much more.
Plus, check out what the staff of PRIDE have been up to this week below! ⬇️
Cheers!
