30 January 2025 at 08:06

American figure skater Jon Maravilla is addressing reports that he was supposed to be on the American Airlines flight that collided with an Army helicopter.

The Daily Mail claimed on Thursday, January 30, that the American pairs figure skater was scheduled to be on the plane flying to Washington D.C., but he was denied boarding due restrictions related to his dog.

Maravilla clarified to the Daily Beast that he did not have a ticket for that flight. He was actually slated to take a Delta flight to Atlanta before transferring to Detroit with his Bichon Frisé, Yuki. While the fact that his dog prevented him from boarding the Delta flight is true, he shared that it was unclear where the false reports originated from but he was devastated by the tragedy.

“I still can’t believe it,” he said. “I was just with them having them have lots of fun and just enjoying their time.”

Alabama Barker is setting the record straight on rumors that she hooked up with Tyga and Soulja Boy.

The 19-year-old daughter of Travis Barker clapped back at fans in the comments of a recent TikTok video after Bhad Bhabie alluded to Alabama having a relationship with the two rappers in a recently released diss track.

“Did u mess with Soulja or Tyga?” one fan asked in the comment section of Alabama’s TikTok. She was quick to reply, writing, “Absolutely not.”

Bhabie, 21, whose real name is Danielle Bregoli, released the song “Over Cooked” earlier this week. She did not call out Alabama by name, but listeners are convinced that Bhabie, 21, was referring to the fellow influencer.

“Hatin’-ass hoe tried steal my baby daddy (Baby daddy) / F—in’ on Soulja [Boy] and Tyga got you pregnant (Uh),” the song lyrics read. “Tried to play me close, backdoor me, seen it comin’ (Seen it comin’) / Did all that for nothin’, bitch, he still gon’ come right back (He gon’ come right back).”

Alabama Barker Reacts to Backlash After Teasing Rap Song: 'Keep Moving'

A newer version of the song, released via YouTube, has censored Soulja Boy and Tyga.

The comments section of Alabama’s TikTok videos have since been flooded with congratulatory messages. However, she has apparently shut down pregnancy rumors.

“Let’s clear this up,” Alabama wrote, according to the Daily Mail. “I never in my life have remotely been near Tyga. I’ve also never been pregnant, nor do I know Soulja Boy. The end.”

Alabama has been in an ongoing feud with Bhabie since late last month. At the time, Bhabie accused Alabama stealing her boyfriend, Le Vaughn.

“I want to be clear: I have no interest in this man, nor would I ever lower myself to be with someone who has been physically abusive towards women,” Alabama said in an Instagram Story statement, before addressing the situation in a TikTok video. (Bhabie and Le Vaughn welcomed daughter Kali in March 2024.)

“I’ve been to her house one time and I guess he was there, but I never saw his face,” she posted on December 18. “I’m not looking to wreck anyone’s home or family. I don’t get any cool points from that and I don’t benefit from it all. I also would never date this man.”

Alabama Barker Breaks Silence on Hospitalization Rumors

Alabama claimed that she did meet up with Le Vaughn and he would “continuously lie,” claiming to be single so she “did try to ghost” him.

“Sadly, I fell for his manipulative lies and after I told him I no longer wanted communication with him, he continuously tried to talk to me and put me in a very uncomfortable position,” Alabama continued. “I’m not going to disregard my faults in the situation. There are definitely certain things I could have gone about differently.”

She further claimed that she and Bhabie were “more like acquaintances than anything” else but has “regrets” about letting this drama “become a thing.”

“The situation is unfortunate and goes against my morals as a woman,” Alabama stated. “My intentions are never to break a family apart. That is the lowest of the barrel. Believe me or don’t believe me, that is just disgusting.”

Kylie and Jason Kelce's Daughters to Wear 'Uncle Trav' Super Bowl Shirts

With another Chiefs vs. Eagles Super Bowl on the horizon, there’s no question who Kylie Kelce will be rooting for — but this year, her daughters are getting involved.

Kylie, 32, revealed during the Thursday, January 30, episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast that she was at the NFC Championship Game over the weekend to watch Jason Kelce‘s former team, the Philadelphia Eagles, defeat the Washington Commanders. Jason, 37, was at the AFC Championship Game to cheer on his brother, Travis Kelce, and the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.

After recapping her experience at the Sunday, January 26, game in Philadelphia, Kylie addressed “the elephant in the room” by revealing which team will have her support in the Super Bowl next month. Jason and the Eagles previously lost to Travis, 37, and the Chiefs in the 2023 Super Bowl, which some fans dubbed the “Kelce Bowl.”

“Obviously, this time when the Eagles play the Chiefs, it is a little bit different because my husband is retired from the Eagles,” Kylie, who is a diehard Eagles fan independently from her marriage to Jason, explained. “That being said, I am so happy and proud of Travis and the Chiefs’ accomplishments. I think that the opportunity to play for such a historic milestone is incredible to be able to potentially witness. And I think that Travis has been there for his entire career, he has worked so hard and put in so much time that I am truly as always cheering Travis on. I love him, he’s my family. So I will always cheer on Travis’ accomplishments and hopefully successes.”

However, Kylie’s love for her brother-in-law doesn’t quite compare to her love for the Eagles. “I was raised to bleed green,” she continued. “I have friends who are still associated with the team. I have a close relationship with a lot of people in the Eagles organization. I get to live in the Philadelphia community, so I will also be cheering for the success of those people.”

Torn between the two sides, Kylie teased, “Ultimately, the plan is to go to the game and to cheer.”

Travis’ nieces — Kylie and Jason share daughters Wyatt, 5, Ellie, 3, and Bennett, 23 months, with another baby girl on the way — have permission to be a little less biased.

“We have made moves to get the girls ‘Go Uncle Trav’ shirts,” Kylie said on Thursday. “Because they love their uncle, and of course, they love cheering him on. And to be fair, they love cheering on the Birds too, but he is our family. I want to make sure that the girls feel included.”

When there’s not a Super Bowl title on the line, Kylie has no hard feelings toward Chiefs Kingdom. “Any other week, when I see Chiefs fans, I will tell them, ‘Go Chiefs.’ I will not be saying that for the next two weeks,” she said. “I can’t bring myself to do it, because then it feels as though I’m actively wishing it against [the Eagles]. … This is hard, I don’t like this. I’m not having fun.”

Jason Kelce Debates What to Wear for Chiefs vs. Eagles Super Bowl

Jason, who retired from the NFL in 2024 after 13 seasons, has also been candid about which team he’ll be cheering for. During a March 2024 episode of his “New Heights” podcast, Jason said he would “of course” root for the Eagles, which Travis called “b——-.”

Jason shared even more insight into his loyalty on the Wednesday, January 29, episode of the siblings’ podcast. “Here’s the biggest thing. Obviously, you’re my brother. I’ll always root for my brother. That’s the reality of it, even though I’m decked out in Eagles gear [right now]. I’m always going to root for Travis,” he said, noting that his former teammates still “feel like extended family” post-retirement.

“I still feel like I’m a Philadelphia Eagle and I’m a part of all of these people who root and cheer on our team,” he added. “I would be lying if I said I don’t want the Eagles to win. I want them to, but I also want Travis Kelce to win.”

A more impartial option? “I’m rooting for Cher,” Jason teased after blasting “Believe,” which he called “the f—ing song of Super Bowl LIX.”
