COVID-19: A Note From Our Editors


This week we asked you, the Glamour readers, what kind of content you’d like to see from us in the coming days, weeks, perhaps even months as the world reckons with the effects of a once-in-a-generation pandemic, Covid-19 (Coronavirus). The responses we got on Twitter and Instagram were mixed—some people asked for service stories about how to handle working from home indefinitely, about whether their finances will be affected in a lasting way, and about how to stay calm—and comfortable—in a world that’s already been irrevocably changed. Others asked for “anything but Corona” content because, well, it’s a lot.

So, we pledge to deliver on both fronts. From here on out, expect a daily mix of stories that discerningly address the Covid-19 concerns we’re all facing with an eye to science. No false information, no fear mongering. We’ll deliver personal narratives from real women navigating their new normals, whether she’s a beauty-industry service worker trying to figure out if her job is on the line or a first responder fighting to get Coronavirus tests for at-risk people in her community.

We’ll also be continuing the content you come to Glamour for in the best of times—daily pop culture updates, royals news, memes that’ll make you laugh, the best books to read and shows to watch, beauty tips to look and feel your best, great stuff to buy online, and crucial intel on the runup to the 2020 election.

The unifying thread: optimism. All our stories will be infused with the signature positivity Glamour has been known for for over 80 years and counting. Stay safe, stay calm, and remember we’re all in this together. And please keep telling us the types of stories, videos, social media content, and audio series you want from us. We’re listening.

Alex Rodriguez Wrote a Heartwarming Note to Jennifer Lopez After Her Golden Globes Loss


Jennifer Lopez was nominated at the Golden Globes Sunday night (January 5) for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Hustlers. Unfortunately, she didn’t win (Laura Dern did for Marriage Story), but I have a feeling she isn’t sweating it—especially not after the sweet note her fiancé, Alex Rodriguez, posted to Instagram.

Shortly after the Golden Globes wrapped, the baseball veteran wrote this tribute to Lopez:

“Jen, it doesn’t take a trophy, medal, or plaque to identify a true champion. To millions of young women who have watched you and have been inspired and empowered to do amazing things in their lives, you are a champion. For countless musicians, dancers, actresses, and performers who have seen and emulate your passion, drive and work ethic to find their own success, you are a champion. To your children, your family, your coaches, your staff, and your extended family, you are a champion. To everyone whose lives you enrich daily, you are a champion. And don’t you ever forget it.”

Of course, those who follow Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez‘s relationship closely shouldn’t be surprised by this public display of affection. He’s always showing that he’s her number-one fan—whether that’s through being the perfect Instagram fiancé on the red carpet, or just saying the most affectionate words.

“I can’t believe it’s been two years,” he wrote on Instagram in February 2019 in honor of their two-year anniversary. “Only 730 days, which have flown by, but it feels like we have been together forever. We are meant to be, and how much you mean to me cannot be put into words.” He added, “Like you there is none other. Words will never do justice to what the last two years have meant to me. Thank you for always being you, for your unwavering support and unconditional love.”

Meghan Markle Sent One of Her Biggest Fans a Sweet Thank You Note


Somewhere in Charleston, South Carolina, a teenage Meghan Markle fan is having a very good weekend.

Becca Anderson, the aforementioned royal fan, shared the unthinkable on her Instagram Stories this week: Anderson had received a letter from Buckingham Palace dictated by none other than the Duchess of Sussex.

Per The Daily Mail, Anderson told her Instagram followers that she had written Markle a “letter of encouragement.” (She didn’t specify what, exactly, her letter said.) And on Friday, the teen posted a picture of a letter she received from Markle’s team in return.

While the letter wasn’t written directly by Markle, it included a message straight from the royal to her U.S. fan. “Her Royal Highness appreciated your generous words of support and has asked me to send you warmest thanks,” it said. The letter was signed by Claudia Spens, who serves as the royal family’s official head of general correspondence.

Here’s the entire note, courtesy of The Daily Mail:

“The Duchess of Sussex has asked me to thank you for your thoughtful card. It was so kind of you to take the trouble to write as you did. Her Royal Highness appreciated your generous words of support and has asked me to send you warmest thanks and best wishes.”

Markle is known for keeping up correspondence with some of her admirers. In October, she enlisted Prince Harry to deliver a voicemail to Aleyna Genc, Markle’s longtime student pen pal, during one of his solo engagements. Markle began writing Genc after the student saw the duchess deliver a speech at the United Nations.

It hasn’t just been royal super fans who’ve shared kind messages with Markle lately. A wave of public support hit the Duchess of Sussex in October, following the release of a documentary in which she opened up about media scrutiny. “[…] not many people have asked if I’m okay. But it’s a very real thing to be going through behind the scenes,” Markle said in the film regarding the pressure she’s endured.

For now, Markle and Prince Harry are far from the public eye. They’re in the middle of a six week break from royal duties.

The Bachelorette Season 15, Episode 10 Recap: A Note on Tyler, Luke, and Sex in the Fantasy Suites


Sadly, that’s where the positive moments of the episode end because the final two dates are with Jed and Luke. Jed goes first, but he and Hannah spend most of their time talking about Luke. If you’re this close to finding your future husband, he asks, why keep someone you’re uncertain about around? She stumbles over her answer before finally telling Jed that she and Luke have a connection; she knows it’s hard to understand, but he’ll have to respect it. “You’ve got to let me figure it out,” she says.

Over dinner, she thanks him for bringing up the Luke stuff. Jed admits it’s hard for him to understand how she can be falling in love with him but still holding onto someone who’s been toxic to her and everyone else. It makes him wonder if there are other bad situations she won’t let go of out in the real world. “I’m just really freaking sure about you, and I don’t want to be unsure,” he says. She gets so frustrated at that she leaves the table.

When they both sit back at the table, Jed insists that he trusts her decisions and has her back no matter what. Hannah says his conversation scared her, but ultimately it shows her that he cares. They go to the fantasy suite.

The next day, Hannah and Luke take a helicopter to Santorini. It’s fairly uneventful, though I did a spit take when Luke, a man who told Hannah that he was falling in love with her on their second date, says he doesn’t take “dropping the L word” lightly.

Their dinner that night starts off well enough, until Luke opens his mouth. “I want to make sure that from now on things are known how they’re supposed to be,” he says. “So let’s talk about sex.” Sex is a beautiful thing only when it’s in the “guidelines of a marriage,” he says. He concedes that he’s been abstaining from sex for almost four years—and he knows she’s not a virgin either—but he wants to know that she won’t be having sex with the other guys in the fantasy suites. He adds he’d “100%” go home if she did.

While I screamed at my television and threw my phone across the couch in horror, Hannah keeps her cool. “Sex is a very big deal to me,” she replies. That said, she doesn’t agree with him. “The way that you just said that…it’s like, why do you have the right to do that because you’re not my husband,” she explains. She feels he’s judging her when he doesn’t have the right too. “Pride is a sin too, and I feel like this is a pride thing.”

A Note on Linda Fairstein's 1993 Woman of the Year Award


Hi all,

We’ve heard from some you in recent days as we, and the world, have been remembering the injustice of the prosecution of Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana, and Korey Wise. Glamour has covered the new limited series centered on their story, When They See Us, through interviews with some of its actors and with director Ava DuVernay.

Many of you have contacted us on social media to ask about the Glamour Woman of the Year award that the prosecutor in the case, Linda Fairstein, received a quarter century ago.

Unequivocally, Glamour would not bestow this honor on her today. She received the award in 1993, before the full injustices in this case were brought to light. Though the convictions were later vacated and the men received a settlement from the City of New York, the damage caused is immeasurable.

Glamour’s Women of the Year awards should reflect our culture, the values of our brand, and our audience. We remain committed to being thoughtful and purposeful about whom we choose to celebrate, and in this case, the lens of history has shown us that we got it wrong.

It’s important to hold institutions accountable, and we appreciate the commitment so many of you showed to this issue when you reached out. Glamour is, and will always be, a platform that celebrates outspoken women. So to those of you who raised this issue, thank you. We want you to know that we hear you, and we assure you that while we can’t erase the past, we will continue to learn from it.

Editor in Chief

Barack Obama Sent the Sweetest Engagement Note to Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez


After two years of dating, Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez are engaged. And although the blissfully Instagram-happy couple has plenty of fans who have followed the romance since it officially kicked off, it seems like their No. 1 fan is none other than former President Barack Obama.

Shortly after the pair announced their engagement on Instagram, the former POTUS sent the pair an adorable note congratulating the couple on their engagement. Naturally, Rodriguez shared the note on Friday after receiving it (come on, wouldn’t you?).

On his personal stationary, Obama wrote:

Jennifer and Alex –
Michelle and I just wanted to congratulate you on your engagement. After 26 years together, we can say that whatever challenges life may bring, sharing them with someone you love makes it all better.
All the best,
Barack Obama

In his social media post, which he shared to both Instagram and Twitter, Rodriguez shared a photo of the note and simply captioned it, “This means the world to us. #44”

As for how J.Lo and A-Rod know the Obamas, Vulture reports that Rodriguez likely first met the former President when he visited the White House back in 2010 with the rest of the Yankees. Lopez, on the other hand, recently shared the stage with Michelle Obama in February during the 2019 Grammys.

But it might just be that the Obamas are simply big fans of the couple just like the rest of us. After all, the Lopez-Rodriguez twosome are a couple who appear to be madly, deeply, truly in love—kind of like the Obamas themselves.

“Everything that we do, we do together,” Lopez recently shared with People in an in-depth interview last week about their relationship. “We’re constantly supporting each other in our individual endeavors and then we’re thinking about all the things that we can build together.” She added, “He knows my dreams and I know his dreams, and together we feel like we’re stronger. He is my biggest collaborator, and my biggest supporter.”
