Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is revealing the sweet wedding advice officiant Adam Sandler gave bride Taylor Swift and groom Travis Kelce during the newlywed’s star-studded nuptials at Madison Square Garden.

“He told them to, ‘keep kissing,’” the NFL coach, 68, revealed while speaking to the press on Sunday, July 5, two days after the Kansas City Chief tight end said “I do” to the pop star at the iconic New York City venue on Friday, July 3.

“In its simplest form … it’s hard to argue when you give your wife a kiss or your wife gives you a kiss,” the coach continued. “And make sure to do it every day.”

Reid was one of a reported 1,000 of Kelce and Swift’s nearest and dearest friends and family members to witness their highly-anticipated wedding ceremony.

“The bride and groom’s wedding ceremony looks have been created by Christian Dior Haute Couture. They are designed by Jonathan Anderson, Creative Director of Dior Women’s, Men’s and Haute Couture Collections, in close collaboration with the bride and groom,” a rep for Swift revealed via press release shortly after billboards outside the famed venue announced the pair were officially married.

“This is the designer’s first couture wedding dress for a world-renowned celebrity,” the release continued. “[Both of] their shoes were custom made by Christian Louboutin and the bride wore Cartier jewelry.”

Swift and Kelce opted against having bridesmaids or groomsmen, instead enlisting their respective brothers to stand beside them.

“Her brother, Austin Swift, served as Taylor’s ‘Man of Honor’ and Jason Kelce was Travis’ Best Man,” a statement noted. “The ceremony joined both families together and was officiated by friend Adam Sandler.”

Despite the extensive guest list, oversized venue and superstar officiant, guests who attended the ceremony reported that the nuptials managed to feel intimate and personal.

“The ceremony was great, moving,” attendee and news anchor George Stephanopoulos said via a message read aloud on a Friday broadcast by reporter Sophie Flay. “Adam Sandler [was] funny and touching. Vows: everything you would hope for, real, vulnerable, serious and silly, deeply loving. Who knew that a wedding in Madison Square Garden could be so intimate?”

The pair also reportedly exchanged handwritten wedding vows they read from “little books,” taking a reported 20 minutes each to share their promises with each other and those in attendance.

“It really was intimate,” broadcaster Robin Roberts revealed after attending the couple’s ceremony during an episode of Good Morning America the following day. “Oh, their vows. They wrote either own vows.”

Travis Kelce is facing accusations of being a clout chaser after a 2016 interview resurfaced, in which he chooses to kiss Taylor Swift and marry Katy Perry during a game of “Marry, Kiss, Kill.”

The throwback moment has amused fans on social media, especially in light of the NFL star’s recent wedding to Swift. Some have gone so far as to argue that Kelce and Swift are a fitting match because both appear comfortable chasing and embracing the spotlight.

An old interview featuring Travis Kelce has resurfaced online, giving fans a glimpse of his thoughts on Taylor Swift years before the pair became one of pop culture’s biggest couples. The clip, originally filmed during a 2016 appearance on AfterBuzz TV, has been making the rounds on social media after being shared by TMZ.

In the interview, Kelce took part in a game of “Marry, Kiss, Kill,” choosing between Swift, Katy Perry, and Ariana Grande. He reluctantly picked Grande for “kill,” said he would kiss Swift, and chose to marry Perry.

The throwback feels even more full circle now, following Swift and Kelce’s lavish July 3 wedding at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, where the couple exchanged vows before a star-studded guest list.

The ceremony was officiated by Adam Sandler, with Kelce’s brother, Jason Kelce, serving as best man and Swift’s brother, Austin Swift, as her man of honor.

Old Clip Rekindles Fresh Clout Chasing Claims

The resurfaced clip has also reignited a familiar debate about Kelce’s long-standing pursuit of fame beyond football. While many fans laughed at the irony of his old “Marry, Kiss, Kill” answers, others argued the interview was another example of the NFL star’s desire to build a celebrity profile long before he met Swift.

Some branded Kelce a “clout chaser,” with one fan on Reddit claiming the football star had “always wanted to be more famous than an NFL player usually is.” Another argued that his relationship with Swift made the pair a “perfect match” because they both enjoy life in the spotlight.

Not everyone agreed with the criticism, however. Several commenters dismissed the renewed scrutiny, pointing out that Kelce was simply taking part in a lighthearted game and “treated the question as seriously as it deserved.”

Inside Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce’s Lavish MSG Wedding

Swift and Kelce were seemingly determined to make their wedding anything but ordinary, turning Madison Square Garden into a stunning venue for their big day. According to PEOPLE, the famous New York City arena was transformed with trees, ferns, and white-covered seats, giving the space the feel of an indoor forest.

After the couple exchanged vows, guests moved into the reception area, where the celebration continued with food, drinks, and live music. Attendees were treated to Italian dishes, sushi, passed bites, and plenty of bar stations throughout the venue.

The night also featured performances from major music legends, including Paul McCartney and Stevie Nicks.

Paul McCartney Performed A Rare Beatles Classic At The Wedding

According to the PEOPLE report, McCartney performed The Beatles’ classic “I Want to Hold Your Hand.” This was after Swift’s mother, Andrea, invited guests into the reception room, where a stage had been set up. Stevie Nicks was also part of the A-list lineup.

McCartney’s performance was especially meaningful because he has rarely performed the song live in recent decades.

Entertainment Weekly reported that the wedding marked the first time he had played the Beatles hit live since 1964, making the moment even more historic for guests.

Donna Kelce Calls Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce Wedding ‘Magical’

Donna Kelce was among those who got a front-row seat to one of the biggest celebrity weddings of the year as she watched her son exchange vows with Swift at MSG on July 3.

The following day, Donna attended Macy’s 50th Fourth of July Celebration in New York City. When asked about the star-studded wedding, the mother of Travis and Jason Kelce kept her reaction brief but glowing.

“I really can’t say a heck of a lot except it was magical, man, magical,” she said, as previously reported by The Blast.

In 2023, soon after the pair first started dating, Donna expressed pride that her son had managed to convince Swift to go out with him. “He’s happier than I’ve seen him in a long time,” she said. “God bless him. He shot for the stars!”

Former Bachelor Ben Higgins and his wife, Jessica Clarke, are expanding their family.

“The world is blessed because @jessclarke_ is becoming a mother of two girls and Winona is so excited about becoming a big sister!” Higgins, 37, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, July 5. “Waylon still carries the pressure of carrying on the Higgins name and I personally am overwhelmed with joy to be experiencing it all! Higgins girl number 2 coming towards [the] end of year. In the words of Jessica’s grandma ‘when you do certain things, certain things happen.’”

Alongside the message, Higgins posted a photo of the pair’s daughter holding a doll upside down. Clarke, for her part, shared the happy news in a post with the family of three.

“Baby girl #2 is making her debut this holiday season 🩷,” Clarke wrote via Instagram on Sunday.

Editor’s note: The below interview contains spoilers for The Vampire Lestat Episode 5.

AMC’s Interview with the Vampire has already released two brilliant seasons since its premiere back in 2022, but now that the show has officially turned into The Vampire Lestat, we’re finally getting a very different perspective on events both past and present. While Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid) has initially agreed to let Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian) document him as a way to formally rebut any and all statements made in Dubai by his fledgling and on-again-off-again companion, Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson), it turns out that there are some parts to the Brat Prince’s story that even Louis doesn’t really know much about — like his fateful crossing with the Queen herself, Akasha (Sheila Atim).

As Episode 5, “New York,” reveals, Lestat’s immortal existence was forever changed after he was pulled out of a post-Gabriella (Jennifer Ehle) 80-year-long dirt nap by none other than Armand’s (Assad Zaman) maker, Marius de Romanus (Christopher Heyerdahl), and tasked with looking after Those Who Must Be Kept, the first two vampires to ever exist. Not only was Lestat’s new responsibility as immortal caregiver apparently orchestrated by Akasha herself, Atim reveals, but the connection the two forge through music could have consequences that carry over into the present day. Below, the actress behind the “mother” of all vampires discusses why Akasha is first drawn to Lestat, why Akasha’s big speech was surprisingly easy for her to learn, what she discusses most often with the show’s creative team about the future of her character, and more.

COLLIDER: We’re finally going to talk about the Queen! When Lestat first arrives, Marius has that line about how he’s been watching over Akasha and Enkil for 22 years, and then he leaves the room, and Akasha immediately corrects him — and in front of Lestat, which is interesting. Why do you think Akasha feels drawn to Lestat, to the point of it becoming a literal awakening for her in this episode?

SHEILA ATIM: I think, for whatever reason, she sees something in him. She chose him. It’s interesting the way Marius talks about it. He’s like, “Look, I don’t make the rules. She said, ‘Go pick this guy up,’ and she wants you to do it,” essentially. I think Akasha knows that she needs somebody who can be a match for her. Enkil is now destroyed, so she is very much one of one. There are now many vampires out in the wild, and actually, she can hear them all, and she’s aware of them all, but you’re looking for that special one. If there’s ever a chance of her waking up again, and also waking up and achieving the things that she wants to achieve again, or at least the conclusions that she comes to during her speech, she’s going to need to have someone who can hold their own.

Lestat just has such a natural kind of infectiousness about him, and a flair and a magnetism, I think. And yes, he’s also irascible and infantile at moments, and not easy, but for someone like Akasha, first of all, that’s probably fine. I’m sure she can find a way to handle that. But I think that those kinds of characters are the people that you want around you and by your side when you have big plans in store. So, I think that’s why she picks him.

And I think she just finds him interesting. He’s interesting. He’s curious. He’s creating this mad dinner party with loaves of bread and cabbage, and he’s learning to play the violin, and he’s just as excited about this music as she is. I think that passion for — I was going to say life, but obviously, they’re undead, but that passion for experience is something she shares.

‘The Vampire Lestat’s Sheila Atim Breaks Down Her “Come to Me” Scene With Sam Reid

“I think it’s important, as well, to see Lestat have some reticence — because he doesn’t, really.”

Talking about the dinner party and what it leads to, which is Akasha saying the first, “Come to me,” I love the way that Sam [Reid] plays that moment where he reaches out to take your hand, and there’s awe and terror. What did that interaction, leading to her feeding on him, confirm to you about how much power she has? We learn that she gives him her blood, too, so did you film anything else between them that was filmed and then cut?

ATIM: No, that was it. There is something about that pose. There were versions of it where I had a back support underneath me, but we also filmed versions where I sit up into that position. So on those takes, I would just hold that with, like, abs. I would just hold that position. And there’s something about the tension between his hesitation, but also her not being able to really move any further forward, because she is still partially stone; it’s almost like there’s an electricity there that is a kind of foreshadowing of what’s to come.

There’s always huge power in stillness. All the roles I’ve had to play on stage or on screen have often had to embody a huge amount of stillness, and something really intensely magical can come from that. So, I think it’s important, as well, to see Lestat have some reticence — because he doesn’t, really. In Seasons 1 and 2, and mostly 3, yes, he has his moments where you see complexity in him, but he’s not really somebody who takes too much time to see visions.

Earlier in the episode, you see [Lestat] running out into the sun to get the take of the vocal recording. He’s pretty committed to what he wants to be about. So, to see him on the precipice of maybe unleashing, or at least interacting with, a power that he’s heard about but doesn’t actually have a full grasp of its scale and its magnitude, it already sets up that we’re now stepping through a door to something else.

That monologue really does feel like a stream of consciousness. It just keeps building on itself in terms of intensity, but then there are references to a tongue being cut out and a prolonged death. In reading through that scene, preparing to deliver it, what did it confirm to you about Akasha’s feelings with regard to being one who is kept? It seems like there’s a bit of resentment there about being confined.

ATIM: Absolutely. She talks about why must she be kept, and why is she cast out of Uruk, the land that she’s from, and why, for millennia, “Why am I here?” and “Why Amel?” What’s also interesting is she merges that with images that are universal when you’re thinking about the subjugation of women. It’s her, but it’s also all of us, which is why she says, “I am the girl. I am all of these things. We are all the women who have all suffered, past, present, and future.”

What I love about that speech and what Hannah [Moscovitch]’s done so beautifully is she’s woven in some very visceral imagery into something that simultaneously has quite a natural flow. It was a long speech, but I found it remarkably easy to learn, considering. And that’s always the case with good writing. It’s very easy. It just sticks. It goes in.

I had to put some work into getting it in there, but once you’ve got the potency of those images through that storytelling, it all naturally builds itself — images of women being curled on the ground and stoned, and left on the side of a road in a forest, and told to lower their eyes and told not to speak, and told how they must speak. That is all stuff that we can relate to, and we can point to many references of that throughout human history. So, that, alongside the actual rhythm and the construction of the text, gives the speech its own momentum and carries it all the way through to the end.

‘The Vampire Lestat’s Sheila Atim Teases Akasha’s Reaction to Lestat’s Rock Star Era

“That already is like the perfect tinderbox for something very, very exciting…”

Given what we’ve seen so far with Akasha’s love for music, her clear fondness for Lestat, is she going to have some kind of reaction to the tour, the album, the attention he’s bringing to vampires? Where does she land on all of that, and what can you set up?

ATIM: I can’t say much because there’s still a lot to be worked out and discovered there between us as a team. I probably think a bit of all of those things. They connect over music. Yes, she senses him and wants him to come and be the keeper, but the thing that really wakes her up is his music, his love of music, his passion for wanting to learn instruments. Then, here we are, all these hundreds of years later, and now he’s a rock star, and not only is he a rock star, but he’s singing about her.

That already is like the perfect tinderbox for something very, very exciting in terms of how she feels about that, [and] why she comes back into his life. It’s also painful, but I think it’s going to be fun. I hope the music continues in some way — not in the same way necessarily, but in some way, because it’s so at the heart of their connection, and it’s just a very potent, emotive… Everyone can connect to that. Through song, you can tell similar stories. So, I’m excited about that.

I need to know how Akasha’s doing in the current century — what she’s up to, what her fashion looks like.

ATIM: The fashion, I’m telling you right now, I’ve got thoughts and ideas, and I will be making them heard because I’m very excited. I think this whole show looks brilliant, always. Everyone looks fantastic. If I’m honest, this is the thing I talk about the most when it comes to Akasha. What does she wear? How does she look? Expect some interesting fits, for sure.

New episodes of The Vampire Lestat premiere Sundays on AMC.

If you spent any amount of time in the trenches of genre TV during that strange post-Lost, pre-streaming-overload window, you learned to expect the unexpected — especially when a network decided to swing for the fences with a budget that barely covered the lumber. Shows like Fringe were throwing wild ideas on the table before anyone bothered to ask if the math worked. Battlestar Galactica was patching together a whole civilization out of shaky lighting and sleepless characters.

And then you had the oddballs — Invasion, Threshold, early Eureka — series that reached further than their budgets probably advised. That era had a handmade bravado to it, the sort that made ambition feel lived-in instead of manufactured. Helix comes from that same petri dish, the corner where pulp impulses and “let’s just try it” energy could coexist without apology. Best of all, both seasons are streaming free on Tubi, making now the perfect time to revisit (or finally discover) one of sci-fi horror’s strangest hidden gems.

You see shades of everything in Helix: a little The Thing in the way the cold gnaws at every frame; a little Alien in how the research station feels like a trap the characters wandered into without reading the fine print; even a little The X-Files in the black-oil weirdness drifting through vents like it’s trying to pick its moment. It doesn’t just borrow from its influences — it reacts to them, like it grew up on creature features and cold-lab paranoia and decided to tilt everything a few degrees off-center. And because nobody tried to smooth it out or make it “behave,” the series gets to be strange in a way that feels earned and a little intoxicating.

This Sci-Fi Series Is an Arctic Nightmare Built on Paranoia

Image via SyFy

The foundation of Helix’s first season is simple, and simple becomes unstable fast. A CDC rapid-response team is dropped into an Arctic research base after a viral outbreak with no recognizable logic. The building itself — long hallways, sealed labs, whiteout windows — is unsettling in its blankness. It feels like a machine, and everyone inside starts to sync to its rhythm.

Once the virus begins bending biology, the show shifts from medical sci-fi into pure dread. Every episode squeezes the characters closer together, eroding trust in tiny, corrosive ways. Even familiar faces start to feel off, as if the cold is sharpening their edges.

And the Arctic setting does a kind of work no CGI can mimic. You feel the cold in the staging, in the way breath catches in the air, in the stillness between scenes. There’s nowhere to duck out, no woods, no nearby town, nothing but white in every direction. The snow makes its own kind of fence, letting you know that if things go bad, you’re stuck. It’s not loud tension; it creeps up on you and lingers after the episode shuts off.

The Infection in ‘Helix’ Doesn’t Just Spread, It Evolves

One of the show’s smartest instincts is refusing to give the virus a rulebook. Most outbreak stories map out incubation periods and tidy symptoms. Helix tosses that aside. Each infection feels like a new branch of the same nightmare — sometimes biological, sometimes psychological, sometimes a total rewrite of a character’s motives.

That unpredictability becomes the engine. You stop waiting for explanations because the show isn’t interested in them. It’s chasing mood, tone, and that low hum of wrongness. Tension stays alive in places where cleaner sci-fi would settle into procedure.

Underneath the mutation, there’s a quieter thread: the infection pulling at relationships. It warps the rhythms people rely on, scrambles loyalties, and makes colleagues hesitate around each other. Characters who once moved in sync suddenly feel like strangers occupying the same room. The breakdown of trust lands harder than the body horror because it feels like something the cold itself could trigger.

Season 2 of ‘Helix’ Swings Harder — and Stranger

Image via SyFy

Season 2 is one of those pivots that still gets people talking because it doesn’t ease into anything — it just rips the floorboards up. One moment you’re trapped in Arctic steel, and the next you’re in a brighter, unnervingly alive world the show isn’t sure it can trust. Even people who didn’t love the shift can acknowledge the ambition. It’s the move you make when you can tell the story is running out of air, and the only fix is to change things up so it can breathe again.

The new environment opens a different flavor of paranoia. Without the cold metal backdrop, the danger becomes ideological. The threat feels more personal, more manipulative. It’s a different kind of claustrophobia: one built on social pressure instead of steel walls.

And the tonal swing lets the show finally dig into the idea Season 1 only hinted at: the real outbreak isn’t the virus — it’s fear. Fear messes with people. It throws off their read on a situation, pushes them into choices they’d never make on a calm day. And Season 2 runs with that, giving the whole story a shake just to see what comes loose. It’s rougher and more chaotic, but it doesn’t betray what came before.

‘Helix’ Broke the Mold of a Typical Sci-Fi TV Show

What makes Helix worth revisiting now is how boldly it rejects the polished consistency of modern genre TV. Today, even the strangest sci-fi has a smoothness to it. Helix has none of that. The show moves with that loose, jumpy energy you got from Lost back when it was throwing out weird ideas left and right, or from early Fringe before everything was mapped out.

Some episodes feel like someone walked into the room with a rough idea and everyone decided, “Yeah, let’s go with it.” And weirdly, that’s when the show feels the most alive. It doesn’t worry about looking polished or shaping itself into something safe. It just goes for it and assumes you’re willing to keep up. And because it never tries to behave, it becomes its own thing — something that feels more like a late-night cable discovery than a streaming-era product engineered for retention rates. That beat-up, scrappy vibe has aged way better than anyone figured it would.

“Star Wars” actor Mark Hamill is opening up about why he didn’t attend Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s star-studded wedding. On July 3, the couple exchanged vows at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Although over one thousand guests were in attendance, Hamill revealed why he did not attend the lavish event.

In August 2025, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement with a photo of them posing in a floral garden. Hamill used that photo when he explained why he didn’t attend their wedding, as guests were not allowed to bring their phones into the event and Swift has yet to publish any highlights from her big day.

“Congratulations to the newlyweds!” he wrote in the caption of his Instagram post. “I declined to attend the wedding for a variety of personal reasons, but mainly because I wasn’t invited.” He capped off his caption with a church emoji.

Fans React To Mark Hamill’s Wedding Invite Snub

It remains to be seen how well Mark Hamill actually knew the couple in order to score an invite, but that didn’t stop fans from sticking up for him in the comments.

“They invited a thousand people and not Mark Hamill. Mark, you’d be on my guest list before 99% of my family,” one comment read. It got over 10,000 likes in only three hours.

“I wasn’t invited either; it’s not too big of a deal anyway. If I ever get married, I’ll invite you and the rest of the Star Wars cast and crew, and we can blast some Mos Eisley Cantina music and have some Blue Milk!” another follower joked.

“I bet you could have used your Jedi mind tricks to get into the wedding ceremony,” a third user chimed in while another follower joked, “I guess the Fourth wasn’t with you on this one.”

Taylor Swift Opens Up About Her Stunning Engagement

A few weeks after the couple got engaged, the “Mirrorball” singer opened up about the surprise proposal on an October 2025 episode of “The Graham Norton Show.”

“We had actually filmed a podcast episode — he has a podcast called New Heights — so we filmed the podcast for about three or four hours … and meanwhile behind his house, he was having the whole back garden turned into this,” she explained at the time.

“And one of the things that he put in there, very strategically, was a wall of hedges that weren’t there before. And inside the hedges was my tour photographer hiding in bushes that had not previously been there,” she continued, adding, “He went all out — 10 out of 10.”

Travis Kelce’s Father Shares His Thoughts On The Proposal

Shortly after they went public with their engagement announcement, Travis Kelce’s father Ed talked about the proposal during an interview with News 5’s John Kosich on August 26, 2025.

“He got her out there, they were about to go out to dinner, and he said, ‘Let’s go out and have a glass of wine’ … they got out there, and that’s when he asked her, and it was beautiful,” he said at the time. The couple then FaceTimed their family to confirm the happy news following the proposal.

The “So High School” singer announced the engagement in a joint Instagram post, captioning it, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”

Donna Kelce Shares Her Thoughts On The Wedding

As The Blast previously reported, Donna Kelce, the mother of both Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce, called the wedding “magical” when asked about it while attending Macy’s 50^th Fourth of July Celebration.

“I really can’t say a heck of a lot except it was magical, man, magical,” she said in an interview posted on Macy’s Instagram on Sunday, July 5.

She also opened up about her own Fourth of July memories with her sons, recalling, “I remember I used to take the boys down to Lake Erie and we would watch the fireworks in Euclid, Ohio, and we had the best time.”

Glennon Doyle and Abby Wambach are sending a hopeful message to newlyweds Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce after the pair’s star-studded wedding.

“Taylor and Travis, Before Abby and I fell asleep that magical night, the last thing we discussed was our hope for you,” the couple wrote in a joint Instagram post on Sunday, July 5. “We hope that you feel so surrounded by concentric circles of love and support from your family, friends and global admirers that you enter your new marriage era knowing this: You’re not on your own, kids. You never will be.”

The pair concluded, “We love you, Abby and Glennon (Your Retired English teacher and PE teacher).”

Doyle and Wambach also shared sweet photos featuring the couple dressed up for the Friday, July 3, event at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, wearing a blue gown and black suit, respectively.

Swift’s history with the couple dates back years. In 2015, Swift, now 36, famously invited Wambach and the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team on stage during her 1989 Tour. She also credited Doyle with inspiring albums Folklore and Evermore via her memoir, Untamed.

Swift and Kelce, 36, tied the knot on Friday in front of 1,000 of their closest friends and family members, where Adam Sandler served as the officiant. Taylor’s brother, Austin Swift, and Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce, served as the “man of honor” and best man, respectively, in lieu of a traditional wedding party. Their nuptials were celebrated outside of Madison Square Garden on Friday, with digital billboards reading: “JusT&T Married.”

“The bride and groom’s wedding ceremony looks have been created by Christian Dior Haute Couture. They are designed by Jonathan Anderson, Creative Director of Dior Women’s, Men’s and Haute Couture Collections, in close collaboration with the bride and groom,” a statement from Taylor’s publicist read at the time. “This is the designer’s first couture wedding dress for a world-renowned celebrity. [Both of] their shoes were custom made by Christian Louboutin and the bride wore Cartier jewelry.”

While the couple have yet to share any details or photographs from the evening, several of their famous friends have given glimpses of their looks. Travis’ Kansas City Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes shared photos with wife Brittany Mahomes of the couple posing in coordinating blue ensembles. Patrick opted for a navy suit with a bowtie, while Brittany stunned in an ice blue gown.

Jessica Alba and boyfriend Danny Ramirez, meanwhile, shared behind-the-scenes moments getting ready for the event via Instagram, writing, “We love love 🥰💒🫶🏽 Congrats to T&T — such a beautiful night celebrating you.”

Prince George is all grown up and eye-level with his mom, Kate Middleton, in new pics shared by the royal family in the wake of the princess’ recent cancer update.

“This time last week, completing the National Three Peaks Challenge,” the princess of Wales, 44, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, July 5, alongside a slew of photographs featuring the royal family at the mountaineering event, which takes place across various mountains located in Scotland, England and Wales.

“A huge thank you to everybody who has supported The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity,” the princess continued in the caption. “To find out more or donate, please visit link in bio.”

In the photos, the royal could be seen embracing her husband, Prince William, as well as their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. In one pic, the mom of three can be seen with one arm around George as she appears to speak with Louis — her oldest meeting her at eye-level.

Just days after Princess Kate Middleton traversed multiple mountains in the United Kingdom, she stepped out at Wimbledon. Kate, 44, sported a blue pantsuit as she attended the tennis tournament on Thursday, July 2, as patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. During her visit, the Princess of Wales visited The Queue, […]

In another picture, taken from behind George as he looks towards his mom, the princess can be seen patting her son on the back, who appears to be at or near her height.

Kate had previously revealed her decision to compete in the event, noting that she wasn’t looking to just be challenged physically.

“I have taken on the National Three Peaks Challenge, not simply as a physical endeavour but as a chance to explore life beyond diagnosis and to give something back,” the princess wrote via Instagram on June 28. “The Royal Marsden [hospital] is a place that holds great meaning for me and whose care and expertise are life changing for so many people.”

The princess of Wales was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer back in 2024, shortly before undergoing a preventative round of chemotherapy treatment. In January 2025, Kate confirmed she was in remission.

“Through this challenge, I want to raise awareness for the deeper impact of serious illness and the importance of holistic healthcare,” the royal continued of her participation of the event. “Every individual is different, and ensuring there is a whole person approach to care enables those living through cancer to manage the deeply personal challenge of diagnosis.”

She concluded, “Holistic therapies complement clinical pathways and support patients’ ability to maintain their wellbeing, resilience and quality of life during an exceptionally difficult time.”

The princess was candid about how a cancer diagnosis does not just impact the body, but the mind — especially when treatment alters every facet of a person’s life.

“Every year, hundreds of thousands of people in this country hear the words no on wants to hear,” she wrote via Instagram. “What follows is a path that tests every part of who we are: physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually. The challenges ripple outwards, touching families, friendships, work and the quiet moments we spend along with our thoughts.”

She’s got over 1 million Instagram followers who know her for her bikini content and Southern charm, but Sarita Natividad has another side that’s been turning heads lately — and it involves a 31-foot center console, deep blue water, and some seriously impressive fish.

The Spanish-American model and content creator grew up in Foley, Alabama, right near the Gulf Coast, but her love of fishing actually started even before that.

Sarita traces it all back to her dad. She grew up fishing in Michigan’s freshwater before her family relocated to Gulf Shores, Alabama, where she got her first taste of offshore fishing. That move changed everything for her.

“I love fishing at home in the Gulf,” she says, “but my absolutely favorite place to fish is the Florida Keys.”

And she’s got a real reason for that. In the Gulf, you have to travel far out to reach the deep water. In the Keys, you can be 10 miles offshore and already be sitting over the deep blue. For someone who’s after species like mahi mahi, snapper, grouper, amberjack, tuna, and the notoriously hard-to-catch wahoo, that kind of access makes a huge difference.

The Wahoo That Changed the Game

If you want to understand just how serious Sarita is about this, look no further than what’s mounted in her living room.

After years of trying to catch a wahoo — one of the fastest and most elusive fish in the ocean — she finally landed one in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. It weighed 70 pounds and stretched 66 inches long. She was so proud of that catch that she had a replica made and mounted it on her wall.

“It puts the biggest smile on my face every time I look at it,” she says. “It’s the best tasting fish I’ve ever had and I wish I could catch them more often.”

That wahoo currently holds the title of her biggest catch outside of billfish — which says a lot, because Sarita has been putting in serious work in Cabo chasing marlin.

Cabo and the Blue Marlin That Got Away

Sarita makes regular trips to Cabo San Lucas specifically to target marlin, and she’s had some heart-pounding moments on the line. Striped marlin are her bread and butter down there — she calls the fight on a striped marlin one of the best adrenaline rushes she’s ever experienced.

But the blue marlin is still on her bucket list. She’s had a few on the line over the years, each time for just a few seconds before they broke off. For now, she keeps chasing.

One thing she’s firm on: marlin and sailfish always get released. Every other legal, in-season catch goes in the cooler.

Her Fans Had No Idea

When Sarita started sharing her fishing content, her followers were shocked. Watching her reel in heavy fish from deep water — working the rod, managing the fight, landing the catch — wasn’t what they expected.

“My fans were shocked to see me reeling in big fish from down deep,” she says. “It’s such a workout and you have to have good technique and patience.”

The response has been overwhelmingly positive. People love seeing her genuinely in her element, and her catch-and-cook content has become a fan favorite. She keeps it real from the moment the hook sets to the moment the meal hits the plate.

The Double Standard She Loves Busting

Sarita is well aware of the assumption some people make when they see a woman on a fishing boat. They think she needs help. They don’t expect her to be the one fighting a 50-pound fish to the surface.

She loves proving them wrong.

“I think people assume because I’m a girl that I need help or can’t catch strong fish,” she says. “I love proving them wrong.”

She’s even got tournament ambitions. Sarita wants to compete in a fishing tournament as a female angler and win — specifically to cash in on the Calcutta side bets, where the female angler with the winning fish typically takes home the largest payout.

The Boat, the Beach, and the Sunset Bite

At home, Sarita doesn’t rely on charters. She runs her own 31-foot center console that she and her family converted from an old parasail boat into a fully rigged fishing machine. That kind of setup speaks for itself.

She’s out on the water early — usually by 7 a.m., when the bite is best. But she also has a soft spot for the sunset bite. It may not produce as often, but there’s something about waiting for that last big strike of the day with the sky turning orange behind her that she can’t give up.

When she’s not offshore, she’s working the beach, targeting pompano, Spanish mackerel, sheepshead, and anything else cruising the shoreline. She loves the calm of it, even if the big fish require something more intense.

“Fishing can be relaxing,” she says, “but I love the chaos that comes with offshore fishing. The rush of finding a huge school of mahi and trying to land as many as possible before they get away is so intense.”

That chaos is exactly where Sarita Natividad is most at home.
