The Fantastic Four actress was spotted with a mystery man in London’s Regents Park last weekend, and the two appeared to be plenty comfortable. In photos obtained by The Sun, the man, wearing a black hoodie, white cap and shorts, could be seen giving Alba, 44, a shoulder rub.
Alba, going incognito in a black jacket and cap, is seen grabbing the man’s hand as he rubs her shoulder, and a source told The Sun that the two were seen hugging. They were later seen kissing while seated on a pair of deck chairs.
Alba and Warren, 46, split in January after 13 years of marriage. They both filed for divorce a month later.
“I’ve been on a journey of self-realization and transformation for years — both as an individual and in partnership with Cash,” she wrote via Instagram on January 16. “I’m proud of how we’ve grown in our marriage over the last 20 years and it’s now time for us to embark on a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals.”
“We are moving forward with love, kindness and respect for each other and will forever be family. Our children remain our highest priority, and we request privacy at this time,” she concluded.
Warren has not commented publicly on the divorce, but Alba has been candid about the challenges they faced.
“It’s all rosy for two and a half years. But then after that, you become roommates,” Alba told Katherine Schwarzenegger on her Instagram series Before, During, and After Baby in July 2021. “You’re just going through the motions. You have the responsibilities. It’s a lot of, like, checking the boxes, right?”
An insider told Us Weekly in January that Alba and Warren had been working on their marriage before deciding to split.
“They have had many ups and downs as any marriage would after being together for so many years,” the source said. “They have tried therapy and have worked out past issues over the years.”
“There were trust issues in the past which led to many arguments,” the source added, saying that “at the end of the day, the romance was gone between them.”
The couple share three children — Honor, 16, Haven, 13 and Hayes, 7 — and have continued to coparent amid their split. The family of five celebrated Easter together in April, participating in an egg hunt and visiting a petting zoo.
As Sean “Diddy” Combs’ trial continues in New York City, his twin daughters, Jessie and D’Lila, are now high school graduates.
Jessie and D’Lila, both 18, have graduated from Sierra Canyon High School in California, sharing photos and videos via their Instagram Stories to their joint account on Friday, May 23. Posts showed the two in their navy blue caps and gowns, accepting their diplomas and celebrating together with classmates.
The pair also showed off their class rings and accepted diamond necklaces from their brother, Justin Dior Combs, 31.
“Thankkkk u Justin we love uuuu,” they captioned the video.
In another slide, Diddy’s youngest daughter, two-year-old Love, sat on one of her brother’s shoulders to watch the commencement ceremony, which took place on the Sierra Canyon football field.
They also shared a photo from Sophia Pippen, in which the daughter of Scottie and Larsa Pippen could be seen hugging the twins.
Their big day came less than a week after another major milestone: their senior prom. Over the weekend, they shared photos of their sparkling red dresses, complete with matching nails, necklaces and lipstick.
Last week, the twins were in New York for a less celebratory occasion: to attend their father’s trial, sitting with their grandmother Janice Combs and other siblings. They were in the courtroom on Monday, May 12, leaving when sex worker Daniel Phillipbegan giving testimony about his alleged interactions with Diddy and his ex-girlfriend, Cassie. Phillip was giving graphic accounts of sexual encounters with the couple at the time.
Diddy shared Jessie and D’Lila, as well as son Christian, 27, and adopted son Quincy, 33, with ex Kim Porter, who died in 2018 of lobar pneumonia. (Diddy also shares Justin with ex-girlfriend Misa Hylton, daughter Chance, 18, with Sarah Chapman, and Love with Dana Tran.)
Diddy is on trial following his September 2024 arrest on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. He pleaded not guilty to all charges and has denied all of the allegations against him.
“We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo said in a statement at the time. “He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal. To his credit Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”
Since his arrest, Diddy has been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. His four requests for bail were denied by Judge Arun Subramanian.

Machine Gun Kelly gave a rare glimpse into his life as he coparents his two-month-old daughter with ex Megan Fox.
MGK (real name Colson Baker) shared an Instagram video on Friday, May 23, of himself reacting to discovering that he is on Spotify’s New Music Friday cover. In the video, the musician, 35, is seated in a kitchen and can be seen jumping for joy when he opens his Spotify app.
He then excitedly FaceTimes his 15-year-old daughter, Casie, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Emma Cannon. (Fox, for her part, also shares sons Noah, 12, Bodhi, 11, and Journey, 8, with ex Brian Austin Green.)
“You’re sister’s asleep so I can’t scream but I want to scream so loud,” he tells her.
Though Kelly did not confirm he was in Fox’s kitchen, the rapper has been staying with his ex-fiancée several nights a week to help out with their baby, who lives full-time with the Transformers actress. Eagle-eyed commenters noted what appeared to be a breast pump in the background of the clip and a few claim they were able to hear Fox’s laugh off camera.

The kitchen itself was busy, with a cluttered countertop and well-stocked pantry slightly ajar behind MGK. He was seated at a round table and a staircase was visible through the doorway to his left.
While Fox has been impressed with how Kelly has supported her with the baby, a source exclusively told Us Weekly earlier this month that the two are not about to rekindle their relationship.
“Megan thinks MGK has stepped up and is being a good dad but doesn’t think they have a future together romantically,” the insider said. “Megan is in heaven with her baby girl and is really focused on being a mom right now.”
MGK gave fans a peek at the pair’s daughter on Thursday, May 22, via an Instagram carousel that he captioned, “Stop what you’re doing these pictures are v important.”
In one of the photos, he had the baby strapped to his chest in a baby carrier. The baby was visible mostly in a car’s reflection and her face is hidden.
The photo came one day after Fox revealed via Instagram that her pregnancy was “unplanned.” She shared the revelation in a video via her Instagram Stories that teased her cameo on the new Hulu comedy Overcompensating.
“38 years old six weeks pregnant (unplanned but a happy surprise),” she captioned the video. “Please stop listening to the patriarchy. Women are eternal light beings.”
She added, “We do not have an expiration date. Don’t let them rob you of your power.”
When British pro boxer Georgia O’Connor died at age 25, she was less than two weeks removed from marrying her longtime partner Adriano Cardinali.
Cardinali was by O’Connor’s side throughout her battle with an undisclosed type of cancer, which doctors formally diagnosed earlier this year. Though not much is known about Cardinali’s private life, O’Connor shared plenty through her own social media accounts.
“If you have a man who loves you more than anything, who would burn the whole world down before he’d let it take you, hold onto him, because that kind of love is rare,” she wrote via Instagram, four days after revealing her diagnosis.
O’Connor added that Cardinali quit his job “without a second thought” to help her in her fight.
“Whilst the doctors who neglected me are stuck in their ways, he’s out there driving across Europe, finding treatments they don’t even know exist,” she continued. “Researching day and night, chasing down every option, making sure I have every single chance to beat this.”
“I have never known love like this,” she said. “A love that doesn’t flinch, doesn’t break, doesn’t even hesitate. A love that says ‘we do this together, no matter what.’ No matter how dark the nights get, no matter how hard the days are, I have him, and he has me.”
In the months that followed her diagnosis, O’Connor continued to update her fans on her condition, revealing she suffered a miscarriage and that her cancer was incurable. But just one day after sharing the news of her miscarriage, she posted a touching tribute to Cardinali via Instagram for his birthday.
“You are not just my boyfriend but my truest and closest friend,” she wrote. “You are the funniest person I have ever met and make me laugh like crazy even when I don’t feel like smiling. We have been through so much together, things that no couple should go through but we always get through because nothing can ever break us .”
“We are heartbroken by the passing of Georgia O’Connor,” the organization said in a statement. “A true warrior inside and outside the ring, the boxing community has lost a talented, courageous and determined young woman far too soon.”
“Georgia was loved, respected and admired by her friends here at Boxxer,” the statement continued. “Our thoughts are with her loved ones at this difficult time.”
Professional boxer Georgia O’Connorhas died at age 25, just months after doctors diagnosed her with cancer and two weeks after she married her longtime boyfriend.
Pro boxing promoter Boxxer confirmed her death in a statement to The Guardian on Thursday, May 22.
“We are heartbroken by the passing of Georgia O’Connor,” the statement read. “A true warrior inside and outside the ring, the boxing community has lost a talented, courageous and determined young woman far too soon.”
“Georgia was loved, respected and admired by her friends here at Boxxer,” the statement continued. “Our thoughts are with her loved ones at this difficult time.”
O’Connor announced via Instagram on May 12 that she and boyfriend Adriano Cardinali had gotten married, writing, “09.05.2025.The day I married the love of my life. .” She wrote the caption alongside a photo of the couples’ hands with rings fully in view.
In January, O’Connor revealed that she had been diagnosed with cancer after she claims doctors ignored her symptoms, including debilitating pain, for months.
“For 17 weeks since the start of October, I’ve been in constant pain, going back and forth between Durham and Newcastle RVI A&E knowing deep down something was seriously wrong,” O’Connor wrote via Instagram on January 31. “I said from the start I felt it was cancer. I KNEW the risks. I have colitis and PSC, two diseases that dramatically increase the chances of getting it. I KNOW how high my risk is and they do too. They always did.”
She continued, “But not one doctor f***ing listened to me. Not one doctor took me seriously. Not one doctor did the scans or blood tests I begged for whilst crying on the floor in agony. Instead, they dismissed me. They gaslit me, told me it was nothing, made me feel like I was overreacting. They refused to scan me. They refused to investigate. They REFUSED to listen. One even told me that it’s ‘all in my head.’ And now? Now the cancer has spread.”
One month after revealing her diagnosis, she confirmed via Instagram that her cancer was “incurable.” She also told her followers in February that she had suffered a miscarriage.
O’Connor was undefeated in her boxing career since turning pro in 2021. As an amateur, she was a gold medalist at the 2017 Commonwealth Youth Games, won the silver at the same year’s Youth World Championships and took home bronze the next year.
“My heart goes out to Georgia’s parents and partner, who I know did everything they could tirelessly and are going through so much right now,” Boxxer CEO Ben Shalom wrote via X.
O’Connor had not fought professionally since 2022, revealing in February 2023 that she was suffering from ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease that results in ulcers in the colon.
The Colorado Rockies are in the midst of what is sure to be their seventh consecutive losing season, and the losses have taken a toll on one fan in particular.
Rockies fan Timothy Roeckel is suing the team after he was struck by a foul ball during a 2023 game at Coors Field against the New York Yankees. Roeckel was sitting in a suite at the time, which he alleges obstructed his view of the ball. To make matters worse, he claims, the team’s persistent losing has made it difficult for fans to pay attention to the action.
The incident happened in the bottom of the first inning when a Rockies batter fouled a pitch off of Yankees starter Gerrit Cole. The ball then “traveled at a speed, velocity and trajectory that allowed it to sail past the 100-level seating, the club boxes and enter the luxury box where [Roeckel] was seated,” according to the lawsuit, filed in a Denver court on Monday, May 19, and viewed by Us Weekly.
The ball struck Roeckel in the right eye and face, allegedly “causing catastrophic and permanent injuries.”
The lawsuit also alleges that the Rockies’ poor play has contributed to an atmosphere at Coors Field where the baseball itself is secondary to the “socializing, dining and business networking [that] have become the primary focus for many attendees.”
“This cultural shift is not incidental but rather encouraged by [the Rockies’] own marketing and design choices, which emphasize hospitality and off-field amenities over fan vigilance,” the suit reads. “A primary example is [the team’s] removal of the upper right field seats and installing a party deck where a view of the game for most spectators is virtually impossible.”
To underscore his point, Roeckel laid out just how hapless the Rockies have been on the field since they last made the postseason in 2018. The suit points out that Colorado was 35-58 at the time of the incident and finished the season at 59-103. Leading up to that season, the Rockies had finished fourth or fifth in the five-team National League West each of the previous four seasons.
The Rockies haven’t gotten better since then either. They went 61-101 in 2024 and are currently 8-41. Their .163 winning percentage puts them on pace for the worst season of any Major League Baseball team since the 1899 Cleveland Spiders.
Roeckel is seeking damages “including, without limitation, economic, noneconomic and permanent impairment and disfigurement damages as well as interest, costs and such other relief as the Court deems just and appropriate.” He has demanded a trial by jury.
Us Weekly has reached out to the Rockies for comment.
Travis Kelce is a self-proclaimed “furry son of a bitch,” and Atlanta Falcons star Kirk Cousins is amazed that Taylor Swift can tolerate it.
The veteran quarterback weighed in on the shirtless photos of Swift’s boyfriend that recently made the rounds on the internet. In them, Kelce’s copious back hair is fully visible.
“God bless Taylor Swift for being good with that,” Cousins, 36, told E! News in a story published Wednesday, May 21. “That’s awesome. Good for her.”
Cousins was quick to add that he does not have the same problem as his fellow athlete.
“Thankfully, I don’t have to deal with that, but I’m in a locker room a lot,” he added. “That’s just a part of life. It is what it is.”
Travis, 35, spoke about his back hair on the Wednesday episode of his “New Heights” podcast, which he hosts with his brother, Jason Kelce. The two were discussing the NFL scheduling international games, with Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs playing the Los Angeles Rams in Brazil this September.
Travis explained he doesn’t like playing in the heat, dubbing himself a “furry son of a bitch.”

“Me and heat just don’t do well together,” he said. “So, I apologize if it came off as if I’m not excited about this. I’m still excited, I’m just gonna be doing some wardrobe changes throughout the game.”
Travis’ back hair is nothing new. Jason, 37, took time to razz his brother about it on a 2022 episode of “New Heights,” explaining where his brother got the nickname “Big Yeti.”
“When Trav was at Cincinnati, he would play basketball in the playground quite a bit,” Jason said. “And anyone who has ever played pickup basketball, you know there’s shirts and skins.”
Jason went on to describe Travis’ “chest hair, back hair, arm hair, leg hair” that would be on full display whenever he was on the skins team.
“I had the big beard, I had the long hair,” Travis added. “It’s just a big ole Yeti out there, man. All the homies on the court were calling me ‘Big Yeti.'”
The younger Kelce returned the favor during an April episode when he insisted Jason needed a “tit reduction” as the two laughed over an unflattering photo of Jason at Justin Timberlake’s 8AM Invitational golf tournament in Las Vegas.
“In fairness I think it was a little cold,” joked Jason, who took the teasing in stride. “Those are just thermostats working. It was a little breezy that day.”
Kelly, 35, admitted as much on the Thursday, May 22 episode of her “The Morning After” podcast when cohost Hank Winchester assured her it wasn’t her updo that first got her husband’s attention.
“This is what got Matthew, by the way,” she said of her hair, which she wore in a bun for the episode. “The messy bun on top of the head…This is the hairstyle that I supported all throughout high school and college and here I am trying to look younger.”
“That updo had nothing to do with capturing Matthew’s attention,” Winchester assured her. “Because when I asked Matthew a long, long time ago, what was it that first captured your attention about Kelly? Do you know what he said?”
“My ass,” Kelly replied knowingly, to which Winchester confirmed, “That booty.”
“I am very aware of that,” Kelly said. “That’s why I’m constantly in the gym right now to make sure the booty amongst everything else looks better. All I do is legs and ass. That’s it. That’s all I can do.”
Kelly and Matthew, 37, met while the pair were students at the University of Georgia and Matthew was the Bulldogs’ All-American quarterback. They married in 2015 and share four daughters: twins Sawyer and Chandler, 8, Hunter, 6, and Tyler, 4.
She’s been open about the challenges of marriage in the past, discussing what it’s like to suddenly not be putting herself first.
“Marriage is f***ing hard,” she said on the podcast in April. “Anyone who tells you differently is f***ing lying through their teeth.”
Kelly added she also had to adjust when Matthew entered the NFL, going No. 1 overall to the Detroit Lions in the 2009 NFL Draft.
“I’m not saying he changed as a person,” she said. “He’s still the same guy that I’ve always known when it comes to his personality and the way he is with people and stuff like that. But, I will say, there was something that I had to adjust to, which was the more crazy, fun Matthew to the professional Matthew.”
She continued, “That was something I was thrown off by. All of a sudden, we couldn’t go dancing at the bars and we couldn’t do the things I used to love to do. That was the adapting period. I had to be like, ‘OK, this is a change and I’m going to support that change and be with you with it.’”
Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark knows what it’s like to be constantly under the microscope, and she hopes Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are enjoying a break from all the scrutiny.
Though Swift and Kelce, both 35, have temporarily receded from the spotlight, the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year hopes both can make it to a Fever game this season.
“I feel like they’re also living — they’re in vacation mode right now,” Clark, 23, told USA Today in a story published Wednesday, May 21.
“So I hope they enjoy a nice little break out of the spotlight,” she added. “But I’m sure they’ll be cheering for the Fever either way.”
Clark struck up a friendship with Swift last year when she attended two of the “Cruel Summer” singer’s Eras Tour shows in Indianapolis. The Fever guard watched the concerts from Swift’s private suite at Lucas Oil Stadium alongside Kelce and Swift’s mom, Andrea.
After the shows, Swift gifted Clark some Eras Tour merch and left a note saying she was hoping to attend a Fever game. The singer also invited Clark to one of Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs games, which Clark took her up on during the 2024 NFL Playoffs.
Clark watched the Chiefs win the AFC Championship game at Arrowhead Stadium with Swift in a private suite as cameras caught the pair hugging and celebrating after Kelce scored a touchdown.
And as Clark revealed on a January 2025 episode of Travis and his brother Jason’s “New Heights” podcast, her cheers were real.
“I’m a midwest kid,” Clark explained. “I had family in Kansas City and I grew up in Des Moines, Iowa, which is only three hours from Kansas City, so that’s the closest NFL team. My dad was a big Chiefs fan growing up. People think I’m a bandwagon Chiefs fan and I’m like, ‘No! I was there before! Before Patrick [Maholmes] and Travis. We were ride or dies.”
While Swift and Kelce are enjoying some time to themselves, the season is just ramping up for Clark and the Fever. With Clark as popular as ever, one of her new teammates, Sophie Cunningham, compared her to Swift in the offseason.
Cunningham, 28, joked in a February appearance on the “Sports and SHEnanigans” podcast that if Clark is the WNBA’s Swift, then she could be the league’s Sabrina Carpenter.
“It really was a joke,” she told Us Weekly in March. “I think that Taylor Swift has helped Sabrina Carpenter so much, and I think that Caitlin Clark has helped not only her teammates, but our whole league, our whole sport in general, not only here in America, but around the world.”
The Skims founder has finished her four-year law school apprenticeship, and she celebrated on Wednesday, May 21, with a surprise graduation party in Beverly Hills, a source tells Us Weekly. Kardashian, 44, thought she was attending a “regular family brunch” before friends and family surprised her with the celebration.
“They are all excited and proud of her and wanted to surprise her to celebrate this accomplishment,” the insider says. “Her law mentors are also surprising her, and she has no clue they will be there.”
According to the source, Kardashian also passed the multistate professional responsibility exam, which is a 60-question multiple choice test that serves as a prerequisite to the bar exam. Once she passes the bar, she will be allowed to practice law in California.
Kardashian has been open about her goal to become a lawyer, first dropping the news in an April 2019 interview with Vogue. By then, she was already knee deep in her studies.
“First year of law school you have to cover three subjects: criminal law, torts, and contracts,” she said at the time. “To me, torts is the most confusing, contracts the most boring, and crim law I can do in my sleep. Took my first test, I got a 100. Super easy for me. The reading is what really gets me. It’s so time-consuming. The concepts I grasp in two seconds.”
The journey has not been easy. Kardashian finally passed the “baby bar” exam in 2021 after failing three times. She even took the test once with COVID-19 and a fever.
“I know my dad would be so proud and he would actually be so shocked to know that this is my path now but he would have been my best study partner,” she said at the time. Her father, Robert Kardashian, was OJ Simpson’s attorney during his 1995 trial. He died in 2003 after a battle with esophageal cancer.
“I am told he was notorious for making fun of people who didn’t pass on their first attempt like he did, but he would have been my biggest cheerleader!” she added.
As for what Kardashian will do if and when she ultimately passes the bar, she has her sights set on criminal justice reform.
“I’m very passionate about criminal justice reform and I want to advocate for those who I feel they were wrongfully convicted,” she told Hong Kong Vogue in April 2022. “I dream of one day creating a successful law firm.”
“Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms,” a statement sent from Biden’s personal office to CNN in May 2025, read. “On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone.”
The 46th president left office in January 2025, ending a 54-year career in public service that began on his county council in his home state of Delaware. He was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1973, where he served until 2009, when he was sworn in as Vice President under President Barack Obama.
After eight years as vice president, Biden was elected president in 2020, taking office the following year at age 78 — the oldest for an incoming president in U.S. history. Though he initially decided to run for re-election, he dropped out of the race in 2024 amid public scrutiny around his health.
His diagnosis was met with well wishes from politicians on both sides of the aisle and the former president posted his appreciation for the outpouring of support via X days later.
“Cancer touches us all,” he wrote above a selfie he snapped with his wife, Dr. Jill Biden. “Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places. Thank you for lifting us up with love and support.”

Biden’s most recent prostate cancer screening before his diagnosis came while he was in his second term as Vice President, a Biden spokesperson confirmed to USA Today on May 20.
Because prostate cancer tends to move extremely slowly, it is not recommended that men over 70 get routine screenings.
Ten months after Biden took office, his personal doctor, Kevin O’Connor, announced that he removed a three-millimeter polyp during a colonoscopy. He said it was “benign, slow-growing, but thought to be a potentially precancerous lesion for which no further action is required at this time.” O’Connor also wrote that he believed the President was fit to continue in office.
2023
O’Connor announced in March 2023 that he had removed a cancerous skin lesion the previous month.
“All cancerous tissue was successfully removed. No further treatment is required,” he wrote. “Basal cell carcinoma lesions do not tend to ‘spread’ or metastasize, as some more serious skin cancers such as melanoma or squamous cell carcinoma are known to do.”
Biden’s office announced the former president’s diagnosis in a statement to CNN.
“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management,” the statement read.
Jason Kelce’s daughter Bennett “Bennie” Kelce respects the rules of timeout, and the two-year-old does not want to wade into any football conversation while she serves her punishment.
Bennie, who Jason shares with wife Kylie Kelce, made a brief appearance on NFL star’s “New Heights” podcast on Wednesday, May 21, which he hosts with his brother, Travis Kelce.
The hilarious moment came as Jason, 37, and Travis, 35, were discussing proposed rule changes in the NFL, including banning the “tush push” and a change to playoff seeding.
“Bennie’s in timeout right now,” Jason said before addressing his daughter. “Bennie, are you OK? You don’t like the rule change either? You think the division winner should keep their home game, right? Yeah, I think she thinks that.”
“She might be the smartest two-year-old ever if she agrees with this,” Travis jokingly replied.
“She’s probably better at deciding all this stuff than everybody else deciding it,” Jason added. “Bennie, what do you think about the tush push? Should the Eagles be allowed to do the tush push?”
“I’m in timeout,” Bennie reminded her dad.
But even her dad wasn’t about to let her use that to evade the tough questions.
“You’re in timeout? Should the NFL be in timeout for proposing the tush push?” he asked. “No? OK, you’re not being any fun right now.”
It turns out the NFL, without Bennie’s help, elected not to ban the tush push — a play popularized by Jason’s former team, the Philadelphia Eagles, in which teammates push the quarterback forward through the opposing team’s defense.
Jason, for his part, has expressed his support for the play.

“I get why certain teams want to ban it for competitive reasons. I get why some people think that it’s potentially unsafe. I think optically it looks unsafe,” he said on the April 4 episode of “New Heights.” “For me personally, I never felt like there’s that much more of a risk of injuring somebody on the play and I don’t think there’s any statistics to back that up.”
In addition to Bennie, Jason and Kylie also share daughters Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 4, and newborn Finn, 1 month.
Though Bennie isn’t ready to weigh in on football rules herself, she’s not exactly known for keeping her opinions private. When Kylie announced she was pregnant with Finn, she shared a photo of the three girls wearing sweaters that said “big sister.” While Wyatt looked nervous and Elliote was all smiles, Bennie appeared to be sobbing.
“I feel like we captured a very accurate representation of how each of the girls feel about getting another sister. At least Ellie, mom and dad are on the same page! ” Kylie captioned the pic.
UPDATE: 5/21/25 at 2:27 p.m. ET — Sophie Cunningham has released a statement denying she had an affair with Phoenix Suns and Mercury CEO Josh Bartelstein.
“I am deeply saddened by the recent false accusations made against me by Gene Traylor, someone I do not know and have never met,” she wrote via X. “Let me be clear his statements are untrue and extremely hurtful.”
She continued: “I am here to compete, play basketball at the highest level and win for my team and my fans, while inspiring other women that they can do or be anything they ever dream of becoming. I hold myself to the highest integrity and my values are what guide me on and off the court.To the media who reported on this, I have always spoken the truth and been transparent with any press inquiry. In this instance it feels irresponsible that I was never asked for a comment about the accusation before several clickbait stories went to print.”
Cunningham concluded, “I will not let untrue gossip take my focus away from what is most important to me, which is basketball, my supportive team and my fans.”
Original story:
The Phoenix Suns have denied a claim that team CEO Josh Bartelstein had an affair with the Indiana Fever’s Sophie Cunningham.
The Suns and the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury share ownership, and Cunningham, 28, played for the Mercury from 2019 to 2024.
“The recent reports concerning Josh Bartelstein and Sophie Cunningham are entirely false and morally reprehensible,” Suns spokesperson Stacey Mitch told Front Office Sports in a story published Tuesday, May 20. “Let’s be absolutely clear about the origin of these claims.”
The report came from a lawsuit filed by Gene Traylor, the Suns’ former director of security, against the team, in which he accused the Suns of racial discrimination and claimed the franchise ignored major security concerns. Traylor’s suit alleged that the team’s vice president of security and risk management, Cornelius Craig, was hired to get rid of him.
“The Supreme Court of Arizona has twice disciplined attorney Sheree Wright for committing numerous violations of the rules of professional conduct, and she is currently serving a two-year probation with the State Bar of Arizona,” the statement read.
Wright and Courtney Walters, the other attorney representing Traylor, responded to the statement by accusing the Suns of resorting “to personal and defamatory attacks” against Wright in a “transparent and calculated attempt to shift the public narrative, discredit the attorneys involved, and avoid accountability for their own misconduct.”
Mitch told Front Office Sports that Wright is attempting to “coerce” the organization into settling.
“Sheree Wright will not extort our organization and never see a single dollar,” she said.
The Mercury drafted Cunningham with the 13th overall pick in the 2019 WNBA Draft. A consistent contributor for Phoenix during her six seasons with the club, she wound up in Indiana via a four-team trade in February that sent All-Star Satou Sabally to the Mercury.
Now playing alongside Caitlin Clark, Cunningham told Us in March that she is focused on empowering the women of the WNBA as the league continues to grow.
“To me, it’s not about competition,” she said. “I’m all about empowering other women. I’m about helping my teammates be their best selves. I’m all about being my best self. And I just feel like that if we can do that together, then great things are gonna happen.”
The WNBA is investigating allegations of “hateful fan comments” made during the season-opening Chicago Sky vs. Indiana Fever game in Indianapolis on Saturday, May 17. The league did not call out specific players, but it is believed the alleged comments were directed toward second-year Sky star Angel Reese.
“The WNBA strongly condemns racism, hate and discrimination in all forms — they have no place in our league or in society. We are aware of the allegations and are looking into the matter,” the league said in a statement on Sunday, May 18.
The game, which the Fever won 93-58, was one of the most anticipated early-season matchups on the schedule, with Reese, 23, facing off against Caitlin Clark. As the two stars of the 2024 rookie class and former opponents in the 2023 NCAA championship game, their growing rivalry has become one of the most exciting story lines in the WNBA.

Clark, 23, is a point guard for the Indiana Fever who was selected No. 1 overall in the 2024 WNBA Draft. Reese, 23, is a forward for the Chicago Sky who was selected 7th overall in the 2024 WNBA Draft. The two players faced off in the 2023 NCAA women’s championship game, where Reese’s LSU Tigers beat Clark’s Iowa Hawkeyes 102-85.Clark and Reese have both downplayed their perceived rivalry, saying there is no animosity between them.
“Me and Caitlin Clark don’t hate each other,” Reese said last season. “I want everybody to understand that. It’s just a super competitive game.”
Clark also addressed their rivalry during her 2023 NCAA Tournament run with the Iowa Hawkeyes, saying she and Reese “have always been great competitors.”
“Obviously she played in the Big Ten for a while to begin her career, and that’s what makes women’s basketball so fun is you have great competition, and that’s what we’ve had all year long,” she added.
It’s only natural, however, that fans would manufacture a rivalry between the two. Reese made her now infamous “can’t see me” gesture at Clark during the final moments of her LSU Tigers’ championship game win over Iowa, only adding fuel to the fire.
When the two entered the WNBA, they quickly emerged as the best two rookies in the league and were involved in a competitive Rookie of the Year race before Clark charged ahead late in the season and Reese suffered a season-ending injury.
The Gist
We don’t know what exactly the WNBA alleges was said, but the incident came during a game in which Clark and Reese had a brief altercation.
In a rare show of tension between the two, Clark was issued a flagrant 1 foul in the third quarter. Reese had secured an offensive rebound before Clark slapped at the ball and knocked her to the ground when she had a clean look at the basket. When Reese got up, she appeared to try and confront Clark before teammates stepped in.
The players themselves say they did not hear the comments, but media and fans alike reported hearing racial insults directed at Reese.
After multiple incidents last year of players reporting racist or threatening treatment from fans, the WNBA launched its No Space for Hate campaign at the beginning of the 2025 season.
In one instance, DiJonai Carrington, then of the Connecticut Sun, inadvertently poked Clark in the eye during a 2024 game. Even after both players acknowledged it was an accident, Carrington, 27, said she received death threats, assault threats and racist comments from fans.
Reese also alleged that fans last season either followed her home or showed up at her house to threaten her. She also said fans used AI to share fake nude photos of her on social media.
The WNBA touts its “No Space for Hate” campaign as “a multidimensional platform designed to combat hate and promote respect across all WNBA spaces — from online discourse to in-arena behavior.”
“We believe that basketball can be a unifying force — a place where people from all walks of life come together not just to watch a game, but to connect,” WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert said in a statement last week. “We want our arenas, and our social platforms filled with energy and fandom — not hate and vitriol.”
Clark met with the media on Tuesday, May 20, before the Fever faced the Atlanta Dream and expressed her support for the WNBA’s investigation.
“There’s no place for that in our game, there’s no place for that in society,” she said. “Certainly, we want every person who comes into our arena — whether player or fan — to have a great experience. I appreciate the league doing that [investigation]. I appreciate that the Fever organization has been at the forefront of that.”
Reese also spoke out, crediting the WNBA for stepping in.
“Obviously, there’s no place in this league for that,” she said after practice on Tuesday. “I think the WNBA and our team and our organization have done a great job supporting me. I’ve had communication from everyone, from so many people across this league.
“Going through this process, obviously if it could happen to me, it could happen to anyone,” she added. “I think they’ve done a great job supporting us in this.”
Aliyah Boston, the Fever player who stepped between Reese and Clark during their scuffle, told reporters “no type of hate is ever welcomed here.”
“We, as athletes, have to make sure that fans know it’s OK to be passionate, to cheer us on, to get loud,” she said. “But at the end of the day, it’s about respect. If it was your daughter out on the court, you would want that respect being shown. That has to be the mindset for every fan when they step into an arena.”
What’s Next
Both teams have expressed their support for the investigation, which is ongoing. When it concludes, it will be on the league and the Fever to determine what — if any — action it should take against the fan or fans involved.
The Fever and Sky will meet again on June 7 in Chicago. The Sky will make two more trips to Indianapolis, facing Indiana on the road August 9 and September 5.
“Taylor Swift is really the litmus test to determine whether or not someone is a complete f***ing cuck or a wannabe it seems,” Banks, 33, wrote via X on Friday. “All the girls who hate on tay are complete f***ing wannabes and all the men who hate on her are dumb cucks who feel threatened/rejected by her just happy being a f***ing white girl.”
She continued, “That girl sings her songs, wears her red lipstick and goes home. Lmao she is the least threatening person in the world what is the actual tea with the psychology behind hating on her? Since when was it appropriate for the sitting president to be doing dumb s*** like this? Isn’t Trump like 83?”
Her post was a quote that featured a screenshot of Trump’s Truth Social post.
“Has anyone noticed that, since I said ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,’ she’s no longer ‘HOT?'” wrote Trump, 78.
“People really want to BE Taylor swift and would trade their realities out in a heartbeat to do so and that’s f***ing tragic,” Banks added in a reply. “Trump is the president of the USA and wants to be a popular blond singer songwriter. This is insaneeeee. When is somebody going to wipe the makeup off his face because the sassy peach is feeling it again. This is embarrassing.”
The one-sided feud between the 47th president and Swift, 35, dates back to September 2024 when the singer addressed AI-generated images of her suggesting she supported his presidential campaign. After Trump began sharing those images via social media, Swift spoke out and endorsed his opponent, former Vice President Kamala Harris.
“Recently I was made aware that AI of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth.”
The day after her post, Trump took to Fox & Friends to respond.
“I was not a Taylor Swift fan,” he said. “It was just a question of time. … But she’s a very liberal person. She seems to always endorse a Democrat. And she’ll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace.”
Trump also took a jab at Swift in April when the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles visited the White House. The Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs, led by Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, in February to win their second Super Bowl.
“I watched in person,” Trump said of the Super Bowl. “I was there along with Taylor Swift. How did that work out? How did that one work out?”
Big Brother alum Memphis Garrett was arrested on Thursday, May 15, for failing to give the state of Florida more than $50,000 that his restaurants collected in sales taxes.
Broward County police have charged Garrett, 42, with one first-degree felony count of theft of state funds. As of this writing, he is being held at a Fort Lauderdale jail on $15,000 bond, according to documents viewed by Us Weekly.
The reality star turned restaurateur is accused of collecting $55,366.77 in sales taxes between November 2022 and October 2024 through his LLC, Poke House Lauderdale, and not turning them over to the state.
Garrett, who placed second on Big Brother 10 and returned for the second Big Brother All-Stars season in 2020, has opened close to 40 restaurants and nightclubs around Florida in his career, according to his website.
His arrest comes as Garrett has endured a turbulent last year-plus after filing for divorce from fellow Big Brother All-Star Christmas Abbott in March 2024.
“My heart hurts,” Garrett said in a statement to Us Weekly at the time. “I did not want to have to file for divorce. I was doing everything in my power to work on our marriage. I only wish the very best in life for her and [her son], Loyal.”
“It is unfortunate that the actions and intentions of individuals involved in this situation have led to the exposure of personal and sensitive information,” Abbott added in a statement to Us. “I believe that matters of this nature should be resolved in a private and respectful manner. I ask for privacy at this time to focus on my family.”
Garrett and Abbott met on Big Brother All-Stars and went public with their relationship shortly after the finale. They got married in May 2022.
“What excites me most about marrying Christmas is I get to spend the rest of my life with her!” Garrett told E! News that May. “We can continue to build our relationship and grow together. We have so much fun together, and we complement each other. When you find something like that, you don’t ever want to let that go. She is my forever girl.”
As Cassie’s testimony in ex-boyfriend Sean “Diddy” Combs’ trial continues, she has made it clear that she’s moved on from what she has alleged to be an abusive relationship.
Cassie, 38, and Diddy, 55, dated off and on from 2007 to 2018, during which time she alleges the rap mogul sexually and physically abused her. (He has denied her allegations.)
“I don’t hate him,” she said on the stand on Friday, May 16. “I have love for the past, and what it was.”
About one year before Diddy’s September 2024 arrest on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution, Cassie filed a suit against him outlining her accusations. Diddy pleaded not guilty to the criminal charges and denied all the allegations in the lawsuit.
In May 2024, CNN published a hotel surveillance video of Diddy kicking and grabbing Cassie in 2016. He later apologized for his actions in a video shared via Instagram.
Cassie has spent the past four days testifying about her relationship with Diddy, during which time she has accused Diddy of raping her and forcing her to participate in sexual activity against her will during his alleged “freak offs.”
“I was spinning out,” she testified. “I didn’t want to be alive anymore at that point.”
Following that incident, Cassie said she entered trauma therapy, where she began writing a book about her time with Diddy. She added that she gave him some of the chapters.
“I really wanted Sean to read the information,” she said. “I wanted him to understand what I had to learn to understand over that period.”
In the months following his arrest, Diddy’s legal team has repeatedly denied the claims against him.
“We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo said in a statement last year. “He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal. To his credit Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”
Since his arrest, Diddy has been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. His four requests for bail were denied by Judge Arun Subramanian.

Prosecutors are asking Judge Arun Subramanian to limit Cassie’s time on the stand as her testimony hits day four in the trial of her ex-boyfriend Sean “Diddy” Combs.
In a letter dated Friday, May 16, U.S. attorneys pointed out that Cassie’s cross-examination will have lasted two full days, “several hours” longer than her direct examination. Allowing her cross-examination to extend into next week could result in a mistrial if Cassie, who is eight and a half months pregnant, goes into labor. (Cassie, 38, and husband Alex Fine married in 2019 and are expecting their third baby).
“The inefficiency of cross-examination yesterday raises the inference that the defendant hopes to accomplish precisely that outcome,” read the letter reviewed by Us Weekly. “Given the ample time the defense has had to prepare for this cross-examination, the inefficiency of today’s proceedings appears to have been a filibuster.”
The prosecution added that limiting Cassie’s cross-examination would also protect her.
“The requested limitation is proper here to protect Ms. Ventura from undue harassment (especially given her pregnancy) and embarrassment (for example, when defense counsel insists on displaying and reading cumulative sexually explicit messages while the witness is on the stand).”
Throughout Cassie’s time on the stand, the singer has gone into vivid detail about the alleged nature of her relationship with Diddy, which lasted off and on from 2007 to 2018. That includes Cassie claiming she developed an opioid addiction during the relationship and suffered from frequent UTIs as a result of Diddy’s alleged “freak offs.”
“The Court should give significant weight to the Government’s repeatedly articulated concerns regarding Ms. Ventura’s health and safety, which were forecast and discussed extensively months in advance of this trial,” the letter argued.
Cassie’s testimony comes after Diddy’s September 2024 arrest on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. He pleaded not guilty to all charges and has denied all of the allegations against him.
“We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo said in a statement at the time. “He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal. To his credit Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”
Since his arrest, Diddy has been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Judge Subramanian has denied each of his four requests for bail.
Roughly one year before his arrest, Cassie filed a lawsuit against Diddy, accusing him of sexual and physical abuse throughout their relationship. Diddy denied her claims in a statement shared by his attorney.
In May 2024, CNN published a hotel surveillance video of Diddy kicking and grabbing Cassie in 2016. He later apologized for his actions in a video shared via Instagram. The unedited video was shown to the jury this week, and the hotel security guard who responded to the incident testified on Monday, May 12.

Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson’s upcoming Lifetime biopic, I Was Honey Boo Boo, brought some closure to the period in her life where she watched her mom battle drug addiction.
“That was a really hard time for me and I was trying to transition into high school and there was just so much going on in my life at that time,” Thompson, now 19, tells Us Weekly exclusively. “Plus, everything my mom was doing on top of that was very hard for me. So that was probably one of the hardest things to just revisit.”
“But in a way I think it kind of brought me closure just because being able to finally just say it out loud, kind of just let it get off my chest a little bit and in a way it was light closure for sure,” she added.
Here Comes Honey Boo Boo aired on TLC from 2012 to 2017, following the life of Thompson, then a child beauty pageant contestant, and her family, led by mom, June “Mama June” Shannon. When the spinoff series, Mama June: From Not to Hot, started on WeTV, Shannon began struggling with drugs. She and then-boyfriend Geno Doak were arrested in 2019 on felony drug possession just days after her family staged an intervention for her.
As her mom’s addiction worsened, Thompson noticed a change.
“I just noticed her locking her door and when she locked her bedroom door, it threw me off,” she said. “But when she started locking her bedroom and bathroom door, that threw me off even more. My mom has always had an open door policy and we can come in and talk about anything to her.”
And while Thompson said she never went hungry, she was often left fending for herself for dinner.
“When she got really bad in her addiction, there wasn’t home cooked meals,” she said. “I had to figure it out on my own or I was eating a bowl of cereal or noodles or whatever it was that I could cook at that time.”
Thompson admitted that for the “first year or two” after her mom got sober, she worried about her relapsing. Now, Shannon has a few years of sobriety under her belt and it’s no longer a worry.
“Now it’s like I don’t think it’s even a thought in my mind just because of how anti-drug she is now,” Thompson explained. “She doesn’t like any drugs. She doesn’t smoke cigarettes, she doesn’t do alcohol, literally nothing. She doesn’t do it. She hates it. So I’m very proud of her and I don’t even think that’s a concern for me anymore.”
“We’re in a really good spot right now,” she added. “I mean, honestly, I can’t put into words how good of a spot we are in right now. It is just perfect. I mean, we don’t talk every single day, but we do make sure to communicate with each other.”
I Was Honey Boo Boo premieres Saturday, May 17 at 8 p.m. ET on Lifetime.
The Fast & Furious actress revealed that she did some of her own stunts while filming her upcoming movie, Apex, and she paid the price.
“Our crew delivered a really impressive movie, and yours truly did some stunts and action — without a harness, sometimes,” said Theron, 49, at Netflix’s 2025 upfront presentation on Wednesday, May 14. “Don’t tell Netflix.”
“It’s actually a miracle that I’m here today,” she continued. “Apex only wrapped like a week ago, so I’m fresh off the mountain. I still have some Australian dirt under this pretty manicure, and my cute boot is hiding a fractured toe, and I can go on and on and on, but I won’t.”
Apex follows a mountain climber (Theron) who finds herself hunted by a ruthless serial killer. Eric Bana and Taron Egerton also star in the film, which does not yet have a release date.
“Working in the rugged, beautiful terrains of Australia with three of the world’s most talented, dedicated actors in Charlize Theron, Taron Egerton, and Eric Bana is such a joy — even as I put them through the gauntlet in this unique survivor story,” director Baltasar Kormákur said in a story for Netflix’ Tudum in February.
This isn’t the first time Theron has done her own stunts, having done them herself in Mad Max: Fury Road, Atomic Blonde, and both The Old Guard movies. Atomic Blonde’s stunt coordinator, Sam Hargrave, told People in 2017 that Theron went through extensive martial arts training in order to pull off her own stunts for the movie.
“The entire stunt team was very pleasantly surprised at her overall physical ability,” he said. “She was extremely tough; she did 95 percent of all of her own fighting.”
Still, Theron said Apex’ stunts truly put her to the test.
“I can honestly say that shooting Apex was one of the most incredible experiences of my life,” Theron said, adding that Apex was even more grueling than The Old Guard 2, the superhero action movie due to hit Netflix on July 2.
“I actually never thought that I would be able to outdo the action that I did in Old Guard 2, which is coming out in a couple of weeks,” she said. “Back to me almost dying, I’m really proud to share a little of this mammoth movie that I got to work on, and I have to say I was very lucky to work alongside the very talented Taron Egerton.”
