Inside the Royal Family Rift Divide Ahead of Harry’s Visit
It looks like it’s going to be a summer to remember for Prince Harry. In July, the former working royal will travel across the pond to mark the one-year countdown to the 2027 Invictus Games with his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, in tow. Harry has returned to England a number of times since he moved to the U.S. in 2020, but it will be the first time back for Meghan and the kids since 2022.
Despite their estrangement, King Charles III has invited the family of four to stay at a royal residence during their visit. “He’s made it clear their comfort and security is a priority,” says a source. “Everyone’s buzzing with excitement, saying this might be the first step in mending the relationship at large.”
The olive branch certainly seems like a good sign, but there’s no question the royal family at large remains fractured. And the widest rifts are between Harry and his older brother, Prince William, and Charles and his younger brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew). William, 44, is angry at Harry, 41, for airing the royal family’s dirty laundry in his 2023 memoir, Spare, and in TV interviews, while Charles, 77, stripped Andrew, 66, of his titles and royal status last fall over his ties to late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
For Charles and William — who’s set to succeed his father to the throne — their loyalty to the crown only complicates matters. “This is a family for whom, for many years, duties come first, and I think that it’s a very difficult balance, because there are human beings involved and at the end of the day, siblings involved,” says royal expert Emily Nash. “You don’t want to turn your back on them completely, but at the same time, you have to protect the institution.”
The once-close brothers are currently not in contact. “There’s no direct communication, no texts, no calls, no emails, nothing,” says the source. While they share a history (“there are only two people alive who know what their childhood was like,” the source explains) and grief over their late mom, Princess Diana, as well as concerns over their father’s health (Charles revealed his cancer diagnosis in 2024), there’s “no movement” toward a reconciliation. “Harry is not Andrew, and he never will be, but William isn’t ready [to make up].”
William hasn’t forgiven Harry for speaking out against The Firm in Spare, the 2022 Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan, and in his bombshell 2021 TV interview with Meghan. “[That] created a public, permanent record,” explains the source. “The fly in the ointment has always been William’s ongoing beef with his brother over the Sussexes’ notorious [TV] interview, and the broadsides Harry delivered to the royal family in his memoir,” notes Christopher Andersen, author of Kate!: The Courage, Grace, and Power of the Woman Who Will Be Queen.
Harry, meanwhile, has his own trust issues. A second source tells Us Weekly he worries about “stories being planted in the UK press that are anti-Meghan and Harry and pro-Charles and William.” The father of two previously accused Princess Kate and William’s press office of leaking negative stories about him and Meghan to British news outlets to sway public opinion. “That concern is not something that will go away,” the second source says.
The first source believes the brothers still carry sadness over their falling out. “Harry misses William more than he misses ‘the institution.’ He misses having someone who doesn’t need anything explained,” shares the source, adding they believe William feels the same way, even if he doesn’t say it directly. “William’s desire [to see Harry] exists at a level he hasn’t given himself permission to act on yet.” Adds Nash: “I think there’s almost certainly sadness on both sides, but this is the situation they’re in, and they have to make the best of it.”
According to Andersen, the siblings are unlikely to meet up when Harry’s in town. “Is there a sliver of hope? Yes,” Andersen says, adding that it’s more probable that “the Waleses and the Sussexes will assiduously avoid each other.” Nash echoes that there are “no plans” for Harry and William to cross paths. “There’s no communication there at present. It’s very sad for all involved, but they’re both very busy getting on with their lives, and I think Harry does have a bit more of a relationship with his father, so perhaps he will focus his efforts there for now.”
Kate and Meghan are following their husbands’ leads. “They are waiting for William and Harry to decide what’s going to happen,” says the first source, adding, “Kate would love her children to have a relationship with their cousins, and she is interested in seeing the kids as well. But she will respect William’s decision.”
There’s talk that William and Harry will mend fences — eventually. “They will patch things up in the future,” the first source says. (As for connecting over the 29th anniversary of their mom’s tragic death in August, the source says they grieve “separately.”) In a June 22 interview with The Times, William and Harry’s former private secretary Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton weighed in on a possible thaw between the future king and his younger brother, saying, “I was and am very fond of [Harry]. He has huge redeeming features, and I’m a perennial optimist.”
Prince Harry‘s relationship with his relatives is complex and complicated. Harry is the youngest son of King Charles III and the late Princess Diana. As children, he and his older brother, Prince William, seemed inseparable, but as they got older, cracks began to form in their relationship. “There’s always been a part of Harry that […]
Charles is stuck in the middle of his sons. “He’s felt as if he were caught in the crossfire,” says Andersen. “But if he had to pick a side, he sympathizes [more] with William.” Nash says Charles and Kate’s cancer battles have bonded them. (Kate revealed she was in remission in early 2025.) “That’s brought Charles and William together,” she says.
Harry hopes to see his dad during his trip. The father and son last met in September 2025, spending roughly an hour together at Charles’ Clarence House residence. While the first source tells Us Charles is handling security matters for the visit, Andersen insists the subject remains a touchy one. Harry lost his initial court case to have taxpayer-funded security while he’s in the UK with Meghan and his children in May 2025; at the time, he said he couldn’t “see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK” without protection. However, in January 2026, the Mail on Sunday reported that Harry and his family would be allowed government-funded security during trips to his home country after a new risk assessment from the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (RAVEC).
“Even if they iron out all the details, there’s no guarantee the king will set aside more than a few minutes to meet Harry and his family,” Andersen says. They are “trying to align everyone’s schedules,” says the first source, adding, “the king wants to spend time with Archie and Lilibet. They are seeing if they can have a couple of shared meals together and some casual family time.”
William understands his father’s desire to maintain a relationship with Harry and his grandchildren. “He would not stand in the way of that,” notes the source. “There are mixed emotions about him seeing Harry given their history, but William’s feelings about Harry and his father’s happiness are two separate matters, so he won’t get involved.” However, Andersen believes that without William “signing off on a full-blown reconciliation, Charles will probably just be going through the motions — if he sees Harry at all.”
Charles and his younger brother — who was arrested in February on suspicion of misconduct while in public office — haven’t been in contact in months. (Andrew was released from jail hours after being questioned.) “Charles called Andrew [when he stripped him of his titles] and [let him know he] had no choice. They haven’t spoken since,” says the first source, adding, “they have no relationship.” Nash agrees, telling Us the brothers’ relationship is likely “incredibly strained.”
Following their shocking step away from their senior royal duties in March 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have distanced themselves from their relatives across the pond. Nearly one year after their initial step away, Buckingham Palace confirmed in February 2021 that Harry and the Suits alum were not going to return as working royals. […]
Like William and Harry, the siblings were also once tight. “Andrew could make Charles laugh,” the first source says. “Andrew was the loud, crazy one, where Charles was measured and refined.” Charles found Andrew’s scandalous behavior increasingly exhausting. (Andrew was previously accused of sexually assaulting a then-17-year-old woman named Virginia Giuffre; they settled for an undisclosed amount of money in 2022. She died by suicide in 2025.) “Charles doesn’t agree with Andrew’s choices and is devastated by the scandal,” says the source. “It felt like a death.”
Charles feels Andrew posed a serious threat to the monarchy. “I don’t think anyone believed the king would act so decisively, but it’s to his credit that he did,” says Andersen, adding, “Andrew’s downfall was inevitable. To say he felt entitled to do whatever he pleased would be a gross understatement.” Adds Nash: “Charles has come out in support of victims, and that sends a powerful message. He would like for Andrew’s scandal to not be a stain on his reign.”
Nash tells Us that Charles and William are “in lockstep” about the decisions regarding Andrew’s removal from royal life. “They are in full agreement about this,” she says. “I think there have been times in the past where perhaps one or the other didn’t quite see the same things, but they’re both resolute about this. They’ve taken the steps they needed to take.”
Andrew — who was booted by Charles from his longtime home at Royal Lodge and is now living at Marsh Farm on Charles’ Sandringham Estate — is keeping his distance. “He stopped answering most calls,” says the first source. “He takes a lot of walks and asked someone to send him his model soldiers from storage, so he’s been [keeping busy with] hobbies.”
The royals are clearly far from exempt from family drama. “They may be royals, but they’re still a family, and the dynamics are the same whether you’re a king or a coal miner,” says Andersen, pointing out that even Queen Elizabeth and her sister, Princess Margaret, famously had their differences. The author also notes that The Firm is made up of several camps that have long competed for attention and money to fund their various causes. “Inevitably, their egos get tied up in all of this,” he explains. “Charles used to hate being overshadowed by Diana, and Harry and Meghan decided they couldn’t live out their days playing second fiddle to William and Kate.”
Now, Charles has the most at stake. He’s caught between his fractured relationship with Andrew, his strained bond with Harry and the ongoing feud between his two sons. “He wants to be seen as a strong monarch,” says Andersen. “He really has to be the glue that holds everything together.”

Influencer Elyse Myers is opening up about the years she spent living with chronic pain, revealing she had a hysterectomy after “bleeding out” on a daily basis.
“Hi, I’m going to make this video one time and then if anyone else has any questions about the changes and the size of my body you can just link them to this video,” Myers, 33, shared in a video uploaded via TikTok on Friday, July 31. “I had a hysterectomy a little less than a year ago.”
She continued, “I was on my way back to track the very first day of my audio book and I went to beg my OB for a uterine oblation, which is where they cauterize the inside of your uterus, because I had been in so much pain for, like, five plus years. So much pain. And not just pain, but I had been bleeding out every single day for years straight — like no reprieve.”
According to the influencer, she was bleeding so much she had to wear “a tampon, a pad and an adult diaper” — and still, she said she had to put down a towel “on every single surface I sat on” because she would still bleed through.
Olivia Culpo, Julianne Hough and more stars have become fierce advocates for women’s health — especially when it comes to endometriosis. Endometriosis causes abnormal tissue growth in and around the uterus, and is one of the leading causes of infertility in women. The condition occurs in as many as 1 in 10 women, according to […]
“I am humiliated making this video,” she added. “But the change in my appearance is because for the very first time I’m not experiencing all of this. I’m not in chronic pain. I’m not throwing up in the middle of the day because I’m hurting. I’m not bleeding out. I’m not about to pass out.”
@elysemyers
She continued, “You met me when I was months postpartum from my very first child and then I got pregnant again — he had a hole in his heart, that’s a whole other thing we can talk about another time, he’s great now — and then after all of that was finally resolved I finally realized, like, ‘Oh my god, maybe it’s not normal that I’m bleeding out every single day for years at a time. Maybe it’s not normal that I’m doubled over in pain, and maybe there’s a solution for this.’ So I tried everything. Everything. The only solution was to get my uterus and my cervix removed.”
The 33-year-old influencer, who has amassed more than 7 million followers on TikTok alone, said that she was “devastated” to hear the news that the only treatment for her chronic pain was to have her uterus removed.
“I cannot tell you how sad I was,” she continued. “And I did it. And three weeks later, I went on my book tour where every single night I had to sit on a stage with ice on my lap. And that was better than the reality I had been living in.”
She added, “So the way that you’re seeing me show up now is the version of me that should have existed the whole time. I am so happy and so healthy, I won’t apologize for that. I also understand that I don’t want to trigger people with my body.”
Amy Schumer kept her uterus as a souvenir after having it surgically removed. The comedian, 42, discussed her bronze trophy on an episode of the “SmartLess” podcast with Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett, which was released on Monday, March 11. “Jason asked me one time, like very rudely, because I actually had my […]
Myers, who published her illustrated memoir That’s a Great Question, I’d Love to Tell You in October 2025, went on to address online comments about her body in the wake of her hysterectomy.
“I don’t know if I have a responsibility to explain why the size of my body has changed or not but I do take it seriously because I want to be a safe place for people,” she explained. “Every single piece of content I make, my goal is to make people feel loved, known and like they belong. I don’t want my physical appearance to hinder people from feeling that way, but I don’t really know — I don’t know how to get past that because I feel so happy.”
She continued, at times growing emotional, “I’m sorry if my experience post-hysterectomy doesn’t align with what you think it should or what your experience was. And I’m sorry if my appearance is triggering to you because gosh that makes me sad. But what I’m not going to do is apologize for being pain-free and happy and genuinely so happy for the first time in so many years.”
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is crediting his mystery wife, Brittani, for his recent family reunion.
“There’s been a lot of conversation about it outside of my own conversations for so many years,” Rodgers, 42, told NFL Network’s Kyle Brandt on Saturday, August 1, of his decision to reconnect with his previously estranged family members. “You know, a big part of it was getting married and having those conversations with my wife that allowed me to kind of open up to the possibility of coming together — it’s been a couple-year process now, the conversations with [my family].”
Rodgers, who announced he married a woman named Brittani in June 2025, shared a July 2026 Instagram carousel of photos featuring the former Green Bay Packers quarterback posing with his parents, Ed Rodgers and Darla Rodgers, and his older brother, Luke Rodgers. (Aaron’s younger brother, Jordan Rodgers, was noticeably absent from the social media post.)
“Another bonding week,” Aaron captioned the carousel at the time.
Aaron Rodgers’ biographer is shedding light on the pro quarterback’s family dynamic, days after he shared photos via Instagram with his parents and brother, Luke. “They had been working towards reconciliation for a while,” The Athletic columnist and author Ian O’Connor wrote via X on Tuesday, July 21. “Rodgers invited parents Ed & Darla to […]
According to footage obtained by TMZ, the quarterback was spending time with his mom and dad back in April — well before his social media upload — at the inaugural Pleasant Valley High School Athletics Hall of Fame dinner in Chico, California. (The ceremony, held at the Chico Elks Lodge, celebrated Aaron’s journey from a three-sport standout at Pleasant Valley High School to one of football’s most successful quarterbacks. According to TMZ, Aaron gave a speech during the event and even thanked his parents.)

“I have been very closed off about that part of my life and I want to keep it that way, but there’s been a narrative that has gone on for too long that I wanted to kind of shut down,” Aaron continued on Saturday. “And it’s been really beautiful to reconnect with them — all of them.”
He added, “And I got to spend a long weekend recently — [where] those [social media] pictures are from — in Nashville with my parents and his brother and his sweet wife and their incredible two kids. So I got to be an uncle, so it’s really special.”
Aaron, who also credited his wife for “allowing” him to return to the NFL for one final season — said that the past year has been a “full circle” moment for the star.
“And I’m happy to be reunited and that part of my life is a really beautiful addition and I got to give my wife a lot of credit — not that she was pushing me, because she never was, but just the way that she loves and supports me,” he added. “Having her by my side during this process has been really special, and I miss those relationships. And there’s reasons for it that don’t need to be talked about but I’m thankful that that’s come all the way back around.”
As Aaron Rodgers celebrates his new marriage, he revealed the hostility within his immediate family continues to rage on. Rodgers, 41, appeared on ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday, June 24, where he discussed his wife, Brittani, for the first time since he announced they had tied the knot recently. In doing so, Rodgers […]
Brandt, for his part, told the quarterback that he is “happy” for him and his wife, who has remained out of the spotlight since Aaron announced he is no longer a single man.
“I was genuinely moved by your post with your family and your parents — like genuinely, I thought it was really, really cool,” Brandt told Aaron at the beginning of their conversation.
The Sopranos alum Vincent Pastore has died. He was 80.
Pastore was found dead in his City Island residence in the Bronx on Saturday, August 1, by a neighbor, per Page Six. The outlet reported that police suspect Pastore died from natural causes.
“I had the privilege of representing Vinny for more than 30 years, long before The Sopranos made him a household name,” his manager, Robert Attermann, told Page Six on Saturday, confirming the actor’s death. “To the world, he will always be remembered as the unforgettable ‘Big Pussy,’ but to those of us who knew him, he was so much more.”
His statement continued, “Vinny was one of the kindest, most generous people I have ever known. He treated everyone with warmth and respect, never turning down a fan who wanted a photograph or an autograph.”
Pastore is best known for playing Tony Soprano’s mafioso henchman-turned-saboteur Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on the first two seasons of HBO’s The Sopranos. (Following Sal’s infamous exit story line, Pastore returned multiple times for guest appearances on the HBO drama.)
He broke into acting after obtaining a drama degree from New York’s Pace University. He had previously served in the U.S. military, fighting in the country’s Vietnam War. Pastore carved out a niche within the sprawling entertainment industry via various supporting roles in classic mob movies, including Goodfellas, Carlito’s Way, Witness to the Mob and Mafia!.
Away from the mob movie genre, Pastore lent his voice to the 2004 animated movie Shark Tale as the octopus Luca and voiced Terry on Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
Following the announcement of his death, Pastore was remembered as a “beloved friend and collaborator” by Sopranos costar Michael Imperioli on Saturday. (Imperioli portrayed Tony Soprano’s drug-addicted protege Christopher on the HBO drama.)
“This is a hard one for us, it seems like I’ve known Vinny forever. We did lots of work together and traveled all over the USA as well as Italy and Australia,” Imperioli, 60, wrote via Instagram. “Lots of good times. Lots of laughs. Vinny was a kind hearted brother who cared deeply about his family and friends. I will miss him always.”

Fellow Sopranos alum Edie Falco — who played Tony Soprano’s long-suffering wife Carmella — told Page Six on Saturday that Pastore’s death was “an awful loss” and “so unexpected.”
“Vinnie was always so full of life,” Falco, 63, noted.
Having worked with Pastore on both The Sopranos and Goodfellas, Lorraine Bracco remembered the actor as “such a charming and funny man” via her Instagram Story. (Bracco starred as Tony’s psychiatrist, Dr. Jennifer Melfi, on The Sopranos.)
“Just a beautiful soul. Absolutely heartbreaking.” Bracco, 71, added.
Junior Soprano actor Dominic Chianese shared via his own Instagram Story that he’d “lost a friend” on Saturday.
“Paying respect and sending Love in tribute,” Chianese, 75, continued. “You were a gem Vinnie🤍.”
Vincent is survived by a daughter, Renee Pastore, from his marriage to ex-wife Nancy Berke.
His final big-screen performance will be in the upcoming 1950s coming-of-age drama Bad News on the Doorstep, in which he costarred with Mischa Barton, Rob Gronkowski and Chazz Palminteri.

12 Years Later, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Agatha Christie Crime Thriller Is Free to Stream
Whodunnits are currently having a moment, thanks in no small part to the success of Rian Johnson’s acclaimed Knives Out trilogy starring Daniel Craig. The success of this series has been accompanied by shows such as Only Murders in the Building, The Afterparty, Presumed Innocent, and even Mare of Easttown. Earlier this year, Netflix released the three-part series Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials, introducing the “Queen of Crime” to a younger generation. Christie’s stories have had a lasting impact on the genre over the last century, and one of the most unlikely offshoots of her work is an action movie headlined by Arnold Schwarzenegger that’s about to be added to a free streaming platform.
The movie in question was released theatrically in 2014 and directed by David Ayer. He was coming off the success of the critically acclaimed hit End of Watch, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Peña. Unlike that movie, however, Ayer’s 2014 release was met with mediocre reviews and a disappointing box-office reception. It ended up grossing just $22 million against a reported budget of $30 million. The movie’s premise was inspired by arguably the most popular story that Christie had ever written: “And Then There Were None.” It follows a veteran DEA agent whose teammates are picked off one by one, pushing him to investigate who’s targeting the team.
Here’s Where You Can Watch the Crime Mystery Movie for Free
We’re talking, of course, about Sabotage. The film also features Joe Manganiello, Sam Worthington, Terrence Howard, Mireille Enos, Josh Holloway, and others. The movie now holds a 21% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, “Sabotage boasts one of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s finer post-political performances, but it’s wasted in a movie driven by grueling violence that punishes seemingly without purpose.” Ayer went on to direct the big-budget superhero movie Suicide Squad, which derailed his career for some time. But he bounced back with two back-to-back hits starring Jason Statham — The Beekeeper and A Working Man — and is now getting ready to release a new survival thriller starring Brad Pitt. You can watch Sabotage on Pluto TV starting August 1, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Longtime fans of The Rookie were thrown a gigantic curveball in the show’s Season 8 finale. Tim Bradford (Eric Winter) finally proposed to Lucy Chen (Melissa O’Neil). She said yes, and all seemed right with the world — until the two were kidnapped by assailants working for the criminal Heath Everett (Jeffrey Vincent Parise), leaving viewers on a gut-punching cliffhanger. Unfortunately, viewers won’t find out what happens to Tim and Lucy until the show returns for its ninth season in 2027! The good news is that the show will kick off Season 9 with an exciting new storyline, marking a major change in the Chenford dynamic.
Season 9 Can Finally Move Away From Chenford’s Relationship Drama
After failing to give fans what they wanted in Season 7, the writers of The Rookie finally delivered the Tim and Lucy reunion early in Season 8. During Season 9, the couple primarily navigated the challenges of living together while also still working in the Mid-Wilshire Division together, and Lucy met Tim’s mother, Joy (Sela Ward). Now, they’ve been kidnapped by dangerous individuals who want them dead. The Season 9 premiere of The Rookie throws the couple into a fight for their lives, and their colleagues into a race against the clock to rescue them. This promises an action-heavy plot, so The Rookie will hit the ground running when the curtain rises on Season 9. The Mid-Wilshire Division will be thrust into a pulse-pounding adventure as Tim and Lucy’s friends desperately seek to help their teammates. That’s a lot more exciting than the melodrama over whether Tim and Lucy can finally reconcile their romance.
‘The Rookie Season 9 Will Open With a Huge Two-Parter
We don’t know much about The Rookie Season 9 premiere, but series creator and showrunner Alexi Hawley dropped a couple of tantalizing details during the show’s panel at the 2026 San Diego Comic-Con. Season 9 opens with a two-parter that will be “huge” in scope. Melissa O’Neil informed TV Insider that Tim and Lucy are in deep trouble, with the couple “currently incapacitated, unconscious with bags on their heads,” and Eric Winter noting that they’re “fighting for their lives.” O’Neil also teased that the two will likely be separated, which will likely cause emotional turmoil for Tim.
Lucy is an experienced undercover officer, and Bradford is a military combat veteran, which gives them an edge to survive this ordeal. This also isn’t the first time Lucy has been kidnapped, as fans will recall she was kidnapped by the serial killer Caleb Wright (Michael Cassidy) back in Season 2, who attempted to bury her alive. As traumatic as that ordeal was for Lucy, she’s a tough and hardened survivor. Although it’s an intense scenario, it provides potential for great, suspenseful storytelling.
The Mid-Wilshire Division Will Be All Hands on Deck
The other exciting aspect about the storyline to start Season 9 is that it will put the entire Mid-Wilshire Division on alert, with all hands on deck in the search for Tim and Lucy. The Mid-Wilshire Division has become an extended family over the years, and all the main cast members have a personal stake in finding their friends. Tim and Angela Lopez (Alyssa Diaz) are best friends, with Angela even taking an active role in helping Tim and Lucy get back together early in Season 8.
On Lucy’s side, Nyla Harper (Mekia Cox) and Lucy bonded and grew closer back when Nyla mentored Lucy during her UC training and then again when they went undercover in Season 8. Lucy and Celina Juarez (Lisseth Chavez) became roommates and lived together throughout Season 7, and Celina looks up to Lucy as a veteran officer. Meanwhile, Angela’s husband, defense attorney Wesley Evers (Shawn Ashmore), will likely feel responsible for Tim and Lucy’s kidnapping, since he briefly served as part of Heath Everett’s defense team near the end of the season. That will provide a strong emotional motivation for Wesley in the storyline, as he seeks to redeem himself with Tim.
For their former watch commander, Wade Grey (Richard T. Jones), Lucy and Tim are like his “kids,” as the actor refers to them when speaking to TV Insider. Grey is a father figure to both officers, grooming Tim to be his replacement as the new Watch Commander, and supervising Lucy from her first days as a rookie officer. This big-time storyline will showcase how important Tim and Lucy are to the entire crew, who will stop at nothing to make sure their friends return home safely. Although it’s a long wait, The Rookie Season 9 will kick off with a bang when it returns to ABC next year.

Travis Kelce has formally corroborated his sister-in-law Kylie Kelce’s claim that three of her daughters already have him “wrapped” around their pinkies.
Kylie, 34, revealed on the Thursday, July 30, episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast that Travis, 36, is a complete pushover when it comes to his nieces Wyatt, 6, Ellie, 5, and Bennett, 3. The jury is still out, however, for Finnley, who was born in March 2025.
“Confirmed!!” Travis wrote on Saturday, August 1, in the Instagram comments section of footage of the podcast clip. “Only a matter of time til Finn has me wrapped around her finger too.”
Kylie married Travis’ brother, retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, before they welcomed their four little girls. Since then, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end has become the ultimate uncle.
“I think they all know that he is very down for anything they ask him to do or play. He’s in it,” Kylie revealed on Thursday about Travis’ bond with her kids. “They know that he’s a willing participant and will very rarely get a ’No.’”
The field hockey coach continued, “Typically, when they see Uncle Trav, it’s everybody in. I would say the only person who does not have Uncle Trav wrapped around their finger is Finn, and that’s because Finn wants nothing to do with anybody. Finn is mom’s child.”
While 17-month-old Finn is focused solely on her mother’s attention, Kylie explained that her eldest daughters often go “fullcourt press him whenever they see” Travis.
“I would say [Wyatt and Ellie] are more into the type of all-in play that both dad and Uncle Trav play,” Kylie recalled. “Uncle Trav will get down on the floor and play a quiet game of Barbies, but he will do the throw, launch, all that stuff, and the two older girls are more into that stuff. Bennett is — she’s a lady. She has pearls. She can’t be bothered with that type of play.”
Kylie Kelce is opening up about the sweet bond brother-in-law Travis Kelce and his fiancée, Taylor Swift, share with her and Jason Kelce‘s four daughters. During the Friday, February 6, episode of Kylie’s “Not Gonna Lie” podcast, Travis, 36, revealed the biggest request he gets from his nieces — Wyatt, 6, Ellie, 4, Bennett, 2, […]
Wyatt, Ellie, Bennett and Finn all got a chance to show off their bond with Travis when they served as flower girls during his wedding to now-wife Taylor Swift last month. (Swift, 36, and Travis said “I do” inside New York City’s Madison Square Garden arena after three years of dating.)
“It was a special event for our entire family, and obviously my daughters are incredible,” Jason, 38, told reporters at the American Century Championship last month. “They’re beautiful, they’re incredible personalities. … So, very happy we were able to be a part of it. And more importantly, very happy for those two. It was an amazing day.”
Jason was his brother’s best man, while Taylor enlisted her sibling, Austin Swift, to be her Man of Honor in lieu of a traditional bridal party.
Former NFL player and Aussie Rules football star Patrick Murtagh and his girlfriend, Hannah Orval, endured the ramifications of a pregnancy loss one year before their baby boy was born sleeping.
“From the outside it can feel like everyone is blessed with their pregnancies, able to carry a child time after time without struggle,” Orval, 27, wrote to fans via Instagram in May. “Though I have come to understand it is just that we don’t talk about the other side of it. And personally we couldn’t at the time either so I understand why. But now I want to bring light to something that I hope no two people ever feel alone in again.”
Orval and Murtagh, 26, announced in a joint statement on Friday, July 31, that their baby son Meelo Michael Murtagh entered the world stillborn.
“Meelo Michael Murtagh, born into this big world early and sleeping. 🤍👼 he will forever be the biggest missing piece of the rest of our story. to be a family for even just for a day was irreplaceable,” the couple wrote. “Childbirth, I would do it over again every day in every lifetime to meet him. we are absolutely devestated [SIC], but forever our biggest achievement in life.”
Hailey Okula’s husband, Matt, is paying tribute to the influencer one year after her death at age 33. “Crew’s 1st Birthday 🎂March 29 was Crew’s first birthday, and also a day of reflecting on losing Hailey a year earlier. Being surrounded by family and close friends at Hailey and my favorite campground made it a […]
Later, the influencer penned a personal letter to Meelo where she wrote that it was “a dream for a lifetime of being” his mother.
“I walk you through your next life too because I’ll always be your mumma,” Orval vowed via her Instagram Stories. “My heart will forever be frozen in time to the day we met you. Your little fingers, your little toes, your daddy’s nose.”
Calling childbirth “the most sacred thing” she’d experienced, Orval reached out to other mothers who have lost children.
“The pain that we, as mothers, would choose to go through over and over again in every lifetime. Nothing could ever prepare you for the feeling of your baby touching your skin for the first time, now I understand,” she wrote. “Though we are strong as mothers to bare these children, I 1785650857 understood more in that moment the real power of who we choose to have kids with.”
Two months before the loss of Meelo, Orval revealed in a powerful Instagram post that she and the athlete previously suffered a pregnancy loss in 2025.

“Last year we were so excited to be having our daughter. Our first child, our first pregnancy. We also then simultaneously carried the grief of a missed miscarriage,” she recalled. “Unfortunately at our 12.5 week scan we were made aware her heartbeat could no longer be found. She had unfortunately stopped growing the week prior & I had shown no signs of miscarriage. My body had not told me in any way so we were utterly shocked by the news.”
Orval clarified that the heartbreaking news came during a period of tremendous upheaval in her and Patrick’s lives as he was deep into training for the NFL. (Patrick signed with the Denver Broncos practice squad in August 2025 after being waived by the Jacksonville Jaguars that May.)
“A different country, a new state, a new team, a new bunch of faces. Just us two to carry something so great. Timelines, decisions, surgeries, recovery, grief. It truely [SIC] was a cruel experience and I want to give my heart to the many that face this,” she wrote.
She went on, “To carry both life and death. It does something profound to you. I craved the comfort of knowing other people had the same struggle, the same story. Though I didn’t want that experience for anyone else, I did want to know it wasn’t my fault, that I was not alone. I did everything right? Why us?”
Orval stressed that she was sharing her story so any couples going through similarly traumatic experiences will know that they aren’t alone.
“I by no means share this to scare anyone but I do want people to feel seen, to understand it is not their fault. They aren’t alone in that story, that grief or that loneliness,” she noted. “I hope this can open up conversation about the struggles many face. That it encourages women and men to both lean on their people for support during times of grief and struggle. You are never alone.”
She poignantly concluded her by post, writing, “The first piece of us is a piece that will always be missing.”

Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling’s family is getting paw-sitively furrier.
“Introducing Charlie, our newest member of our familia,” Mendes, 52, wrote via Instagram on Friday, July 31, sharing pics of herself cuddled up to a gray dog. “We’re in love! Gracias to @californiadoodlerescues ♥️.”
Mendes and Gosling, 45, who have been together since 2011, have not offered any additional insight into their private life after rescuing Charlie. They adopted another canine from the same organization, a dog named Magic, in 2024.
Years before adopting Charlie and Magic, Mendes and Gosling shared rescue pup George, who died in 2016.
“He passed away in December. It’s funny to say ‘dog’ because … there was something about George where I think he felt like being a dog was beneath him,” Gosling said on the now-defunct Ellen DeGeneres Show in October 2017, announcing that the 17-year-old dog had died. “He would not do tricks. If you wanted him to sit down, you had to convince him it was in his best interest.”
The Project Hail Mary star added at the time, “George, as he started to age, started looking like an aging rock star. He was sort of skinny-fat and he had big hair, you know, no teeth, open sores, but still sexy. … One time we were at an outdoor restaurant and he was sitting on the pavement looking forlorn down the street. Someone got up to go to the restroom, and he, I guess, had enough and he got up onto their seat and sat down at the table like a gentleman and looked around the table like, ‘Yeah, that’s right.’”
In addition to Mendes and Goslings’ four-legged companions, the longtime couple are parents of daughters Esmeralda, 11, and Amada, 9.
“I hope I don’t look back in 20 years and go, ‘Oh, shoot,’ because I really don’t want to raise by fear,” Mendes said on a 2024 episode of the “Parenting & You” podcast, revealing she hoped to raise her kids differently than how she grew up. “I get emotional over it because it’s so not fair to the kids. I hope that I’m not unknowingly putting some pressure on them through fear like I was raised.”
Eva Mendes has mixed feelings about the month of April, but said her “biggest blessing” was her and Ryan Gosling’s daughter, Amada, being born on April 29, 2016. “Oh April,” the actress, 50, wrote via Instagram on Monday, April 1, alongside two snaps of herself outdoors. “I have such a complicated relationship with you. Tomorrow […]
Gosling has also been candid about becoming a parent, telling the Wall Street Journal later that year how he no longer has an interest in portraying admittedly “dark” acting roles.
“I don’t really take roles that are going to put me in some kind of dark place,” the Barbie actor told the outlet. “This moment is what I feel like trying to read the room at home and feel like what is going to be best for all of us. The decisions I make, I make them with Eva and we make them with our family in mind first.”
Sen. Bernie Moreno of Ohio is unable or unwilling to say if his daughter Emily Moreno’s ex-husband, Rep. Max Miller, should resign after Emily accused the Ohio congressman of domestic violence, including breaking their daughter’s — the senator’s granddaughter’s — collarbone.
“I don’t know,” Moreno told political outlet NOTUS on Friday, July 31, when he was asked if Miller should be replaced in a contested race that could determine which political party controls the House.
According to court documents obtained by Mother Jones and The New York Times, Emily — who filed for divorce in 2024 — has accused her ex of throwing hot water on her body, holding a gun to her head, pushing her with enough force to hurt her and breaking their daughter’s collarbone.
Miller has vehemently denied the allegations, claiming his ex-wife is not “all there.” He has subsequently sued Emily for defamation, according to The Guardian.
Congressman Eric Swalwell is facing sexual assault allegations from multiple women, a Manhattan District Attorney’s investigation and calls from top Democrats to end his campaign for California governor. Four women — including a former staffer who claims the politician raped her — accused Swalwell in April 2026 of sexual misconduct and harassment. Swalwell has categorically […]
Like Moreno, many Republicans are either staying silent or continuing to support Rep. Miller in the wake of the allegations.
“While we won’t dignify this baseless attacks by Democrats and their media allies, Senator Moreno will not speak on active litigation involving his family,” Raagan McCarthy, a spokesperson for Sen. Bernie, told NOTUS in a statement.

Current Speaker of the House Mike Johnson told reporters, “The key word here is ‘allegation,’” when asked about the domestic violence claims levied against the congressman.
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, also a Republican, told a local ABC affiliate news station that while the allegations are “serious and certainly troubling,” he believes “the people” of Rep. Miller’s district “are going to have to weigh the facts,” falling short of calling for the congressman to resign or drop out.
“They’re the ones who decide who they want to represent them,” DeWine added.
President Donald Trump — who has been credibly accused of sexual assault by over a dozen women, including his late ex-wife Ivana Trump, and was ordered by a judge to pay E. Jean Carroll $5.6 million after a jury found him liable for sexually assaulting her — gave Rep. Miller his “complete and total endorsement” in May, adding that the rep “will not let you down.”
Miller is just one of many sitting or would-be politicians on both sides of the political aisle to stand accused of gross misconduct.
In July, Graham Platner, a Democrat, withdrew from Main’s senate race among a slew of allegations, including sexual assault, inappropriate messages and abuse. (Graham has maintained his innocence and denied the allegations.)
The husband of one of the women who have accused Rep. Eric Swalwell of sexual assault and harassment has responded to the congressman’s video denying the allegations. “My wife’s name is Ally Sammarco. Obviously you know that, but she’s not named anonymous,” Adam Parkhomenko, a Democratic strategist and former DNC National Field Director, wrote via […]
Former congressman Eric Swalwell, also a Democrat, suspended his gubernatorial run on April 12 before resigning from Congress amid multiple allegations of sexual assault and misconduct. While Swalwell admitted to extramarital conduct, he denied the allegations before ultimately leaving office amid threats of an expulsion vote.
According to a recent Politico poll, 66 percent of MAGA voters who voted for Trump, 80, said they would back a Republican candidate even if “a former partner has accused the Republican candidate of sexual assault” rather than vote for a Democrat.
