“It is with a heavy hearth that we announce the sudden departure of our beloved Dora,” a Friday, December 27, statement shared via Nyambe’s Instagram read. “She will be remembered as a loved mother, heroine, peace philanthropist and an extraordinary woman.”
Nyambe primarily worked as a humanitarian and educator in the village, helping to provide food and shelter to youth residents. She also documented her work via YouTube, Instagram and TikTok, garnering over 4 million followers.
A teacher who worked with Nyambe’s organization confirmed her death in a TikTok video shared earlier this week.
“I am officially announcing the loss of my beloved CEO, director, manager and founder of Footprints of Hope School, who died on Wednesday, 25th of December 2024,” she said. “Our sister will be buried here in Mapapa at Footprints of Hope School. … Thank you so much for everything.”
Nyambe’s funeral will be held at the Mapapa Village in Mukushi, Zambia, on Monday, December 30.
Dora Moono Nyambe
“The burial of the late Dora Moono Nyambe, which was initially scheduled for an earlier date, has been moved to Monday afternoon due to some unforeseen challenges,” a Saturday, December 28, statement read. “We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding during this difficult time.”
The note continued, “We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has come forward to support us, whether financially or in other forms. Your kindness and generosity have been a source of great comfort and strength for the family during this period.”
“I came to Mapapa Village while waiting for my visa to be approved. I needed to renew my visa to visit. This is [my friend’s] village,” she said in an October Instagram video. “When I came here I saw that there were a lot of kids getting [sexually assaulted], there were a lot of kids that had babies; just a lot of bad things happening. … I decided to stay.”
“That is why I keep on getting more kids,” she added. “I know it’s very confusing saying, ‘Let me turn this kid away’ or ‘I can’t house you’ or ‘I can’t do this.’ It’s very difficult for me because there’s a lot of kids in the village, but I don’t have the resources for that.”
Several months before model Dayle Haddon died at age 76, she appeared alongside Blake Lively in a Vogue editorial shoot.
“What a wonderful time working with the brilliant @bazluhrmann on his version of the classic film, To Catch a Thief for @voguemagazine September Issue,” Haddon wrote via Instagram in August. “A genius director and photographer, Baz, enthusiastic, creative, inclusive was so much darn fun to work with!!”
She continued, “Loved working beside the absolutely delightful, funny and mischievous @blakelively. Not only is Blake beautiful, inside and out, she is generous to a fault, fixing my dress during takes, adjusting my fabulous @cartier jewels [and] making sure I was ‘shining’ during the shoot!”
Haddon further praised Vogue icon Anna Wintour for “pulling this exciting project” with all the “massive talents” including Lively, 37, and Hugh Jackman.
“The bright light that is Dayle has dimmed in this Earthly realm. Shining somewhere as radiantly as ever where it’s most needed, I have no doubt,” Haddon’s daughter, Ryan, wrote via Instagram. “She was a woman in her power, yet soft and attentive to all. Deeply creative and curious, gifted with beauty inside and out. Always kind and thoughtful.”
The 53-year-old journalist added, “In conversation, she could go to the deepest of places and also soar to the highest heights of spiritual understanding. She held so many up, saw their greatness sometimes hidden to them, and always built bridges with her own connections to help them ascend. She was everyone’s greatest champion. An inspiration to many.”
Ryan, whom Haddon shared with ex-husband Glenn Souham, further explained how she planned to honor her mother’s legacy moving forward.
“I always trust the timing of things. There are no accidents and certainly how we enter and exit this world is mystical and unknowable,” Ryan wrote in her upload. “She was a high-hearted spiritual being that put value on her soul’s evolution, so I know her journey here in this dimension must have been complete. I honor her. I bow to her. I revere all the paths and adventures taken. I saw her be golden and always reach for the Light in all areas of her life.”
Ryan reshared her post onto her Instagram Story, with the caption, “Rest in Light, Mom. So grateful for this beautiful should and to be her daughter this lifetime.”
Haddon had been found unconscious inside Ryan and husband Marc Blucas’ Pennsylvania farmhouse after a suspected carbon monoxide leak. A police investigation is ongoing.
Lindsay Arnoldis getting candid about her breast augmentation journey.
The 30-year-old Dancing With The Stars alum opened up about her upcoming surgery in a TikTok video posted on Friday, December 27.
“Get ready with me while we talk about my breast augmentation,” Arnold excitedly said while sitting on her floor in a purple sweatsuit. “If you followed me for a while, you know that I’ve talked about this before as something that I’ve definitely wanted to do.”
In her video, Arnold spoke about the timing when it came to her going under the knife. Despite originally wanting to wait until after she and husband Sam Cusick were “done having kids,” Arnold later changed her mind.
“Naturally, a lot of you are asking if this means that we’re done having kids,” Arnold said. “We are not done having babies. I feel like my plans and timeline have been shifted quite a bit.”
Arnold and Cusick, who have been together since high school, share daughters Sage, 4, and June, 15 months.
On Friday, Arnold said that she doesn’t feel like it’s the right time for her and her husband to try to have a third child, which allows time to get her breast augmentation and lift.
“I just decided I didn’t want to wait,” she explained. “Obviously [I] know there are chances I’d maybe need to get a lift later on in life or whatever, but I just don’t want to wait anymore. … We’re just putting [family planning] on pause a bit longer.”
Arnold also consulted with a plastic surgeon about the procedure, noting that she was keen to get an augmentation after her breasts appeared to have “deflated” since having kids.
“The skin is there, it just has nothing inside of it,” she admitted. “I really just want to, kind of, fill out the size that I already have and create fullness and volume so that it stays that way when I’m not wearing a bra.”
“My Christmas present this year is that I’m getting a breast augmentation,” Arnold said at the time. “Guys, I’m freaking out, but I’m also so excited. That is happening in, like, a little over two weeks. I am turning 31 on January 11, and Sam and I are going to Mexico for a little getaway. We’re doing three nights and then we get home. The next day, I am getting my breast augmentation. I am also getting a lift.”
Brooks Nadermade a statement during her Friday, December 27, date with Dancing With the Stars pro Gleb Savchenko.
When the pair were spotted together in Los Angeles on Friday, the 27-year-old model wowed in a sheer blouse underneath a navy pinstripe blazer. Nader completed her look with a matching striped pencil skirt and black accessories, including kitchen heels, a handbag and a thin belt.
For glam, Nader wore her long locks in loose waves. Savchenko, 41, opted for a similar color palette. He wore a black bomber jacket over a pair of coordinating jeans and a loosely fitting T-shirt.
Nader was partnered with Savchenko for season 33 of DWTS, which aired earlier this year. They immediately raised eyebrows for their sizzling chemistry.
“We have a good energy. Like, I think we got good vibes. I mean, it’s nice to be in the room for five hours a day with someone that you get along with,” Savchenko exclusively told Us Weekly in September. “And also, you know, looking like that. She’s hot.”
Gleb Savchenko and Brooks Nader
Amid their ballroom lessons, Us broke the news that Savchenko and Nader were hooking up. They briefly split after their October elimination from the competition.
“I don’t even know what’s going on. I know I am confusing people, but I am confusing myself. I am loving life,” Nader told Us earlier this month. “My family loves him, and he’s just a great guy, and he’s so great with all the girls and the family.”
She added, “We were all on Dancing With the Stars because it’s always a family affair. And he made everyone feel really welcome, including myself. He made me feel really comfortable dancing and doing things that I was maybe uncomfortable with. So he’s great.”
Days later, Savchenko confirmed to TMZ that he and Nader had officially gotten back together. They even spent part of the holiday week with his eldest daughter, Olivia. In addition to 13-year-old Olivia, the Russian dancer also shares 7-year-old Zlata with ex-wife Elena Samodanova.
Actor Marc Blucas has previously been candid about fixing up his Pennsylvania farmhouse, which is where his mother-in-law, Dayle Haddon, died on Friday, December 27.
“You know what’s amazing, our house was built in 1711, you know, before George Washington was born,” Blucas, 52, quipped during a 2016 interview on Hallmark’s Home & Family. “It’s a way to stay creatively stimulating when I’m not filming and working.”
He added, “We wanted to be closer to family so we moved back to the East Coast to be by them. It’s the only place in the United States that has that kind of architecture with old stone barns and old stone houses.”
Blucas and his wife, Ryan Haddon, moved to Pennsylvania from California in 2012 after three years of marriage. Around that time, they also welcomed their eldest daughter together. (Ryan, 53, also shares two older children with ex-husband Christian Slater.)
In addition to renovating the property that offered all sorts of “projects for life,” Blucas and Ryan took in a number of four-legged friends.
“We have 15 chickens, two rabbits, a dog, cats — the wildlife is [off-the-charts],” the My Life With the Walter Boys star gushed at the time, one year after they welcomed their second daughter. “We’re seeing [foxes and deer] constantly. We do house all of them. In fact, my wife [and I] had to institute a new rule. … We were working on the main house and my wife comes home with chicks and so, I’m like, ‘Where we’re going to put them, honey?’”
Blucas also frequently highlights his renovation projects on social media.
“When we bought our old house, the list of things that needed to be done was staggering,” he wrote via Instagram in January 2023. “I didn’t own a tractor yet, and frankly, it wasn’t on that list. Needed that money for other things. But I remember my dad saying, ‘You can’t have a farm and not have a tractor.’ My old man has never been so right.”
Blucas added, “As my DIY projects and historic home design and restoration business have grown, I’ve upsized and added to my equipment collection. From something I didn’t think I needed, to something I truly couldn’t do without. Presently, rebuilding the stone courtyard walls around the barn.”
“New Hope Eagle Volunteer Fire Company was also on scene and detected a high level of carbon monoxide in the property,” a police report read. “Two medics were transported to Doylestown Hospital for carbon monoxide exposure and one Solebury Township Police Officer was treated at the scene. This tragedy is currently under investigation by the Solebury Township Police Department.”
Dayle is survived by Ryan — her daughter with ex-husband Glenn Souham — and her four grandchildren.
“The bright light that is Dayle has dimmed in this Earthly realm. Shining somewhere as radiantly as ever where it’s most needed, I have no doubt,” Ryan wrote via Instagram later on Friday. “She was a woman in her power, yet soft and attentive to all. Deeply creative and curious, gifted with beauty inside and out. Always kind and thoughtful.”
