Kate Beckinsale Wipes Instagram, Posts Cryptic 'Bye'

Actress Kate Beckinsale recently caused concern among her followers by clearing her Instagram account. On September 20, 2026, she posted a black square with the word 'bye' and a story that read, 'congratulations you win I give up.' Both posts were subsequently deleted. Beckinsale had previously taken a break from social media after the death of her mother, Judy Loe, in July 2025. She also addressed public speculation about her weight, explaining it was a result of health issues and profound grief. Her stepfather, Roy Battersby, died in January 2024, adding to her recent losses.
