    Millie Bobby Brown gives rare update about husband…

    Millie Bobby Brown is offering fans another glimpse into her relationship with husband Jake Bongiovi, sharing how much she appreciates his personality and the support he brings to their life together. The Stranger Things actress and Bongiovi have become one of Hollywood’s most closely watched young married couples. While Brown generally keeps her family life private, she has occasionally opened up about the qualities she values most in her husband. Brown praises Jake’s personality Brown has repeatedly described Bongiovi as someone who understands her and supports her ambitions. Their relationship has also grown alongside major changes in Brown’s personal life, including their decision to become parents. The couple married in 2024 and welcomed an adopted daughter in 2025. Brown has spoken warmly about motherhood and the importance of creating a loving and private family environment. (Vanity Fair⁠) Her comments about Bongiovi suggest that their connection goes beyond their public appearances. She has previously emphasized that he understands how important both her career and family life are to her. Standing up for her husband Brown recently made headlines when she defended Bongiovi against online criticism about how he behaves during family outings. Some social-media users questioned why Brown was seen carrying bags, luggage and their daughter’s car seat while Bongiovi appeared to be walking beside her. Brown pushed back against those assumptions, arguing that people only see a small part of their relationship. She described her husband as “polite” and “sweet” and said he is willing to do anything for her, while also explaining that he knows she is capable of carrying her own belongings. (The Express Tribune⁠) Her response offered a rare glimpse into how protective she can be of their relationship when outsiders make assumptions about their private life. A partnership away from the spotlight Brown and Bongiovi have also found ways to work together professionally. Bongiovi served as an executive producer on Enola Holmes 3, giving the couple an opportunity to collaborate while Brown continued leading the Netflix franchise. Brown said having him involved in the project “meant the world” to her. (Extra⁠) The pair have continued appearing together at major events, including the Enola Holmes 3 premiere in New York. (Vogue⁠) Although Brown rarely shares intimate details about their marriage, her recent comments paint a picture of a relationship built around mutual support, independence and family. Rather than letting online opinions define their marriage, the actress appears comfortable trusting the relationship she and Bongiovi have built away from the spotlight.

    Naqvi’s Iran visit focused on ties, regional pea…

    ISLAMABAD: The Foreign Office on Wednesday said Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi’s ongoing visit to Iran is focused on strengthening bilateral relations, discussing security matters and supporting efforts for peace and stability in the region. Foreign Office spokesperson Tahir Andrabi said during his weekly briefing that Naqvi, who reached Tehran on Tuesday, was meeting senior Iranian officials as part of Pakistan’s diplomatic engagement. The spokesperson said the visit provides an opportunity for Pakistan and Iran to discuss bilateral relations, security concerns and developments in the region. He added that particular attention was being given to promoting peace, stability and constructive dialogue among regional parties. Naqvi was received in Tehran by Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni. He subsequently met Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and President Masoud Pezeshkian, according to Iranian media reports. Pakistan’s broader mediation efforts between Iran and the United States also featured prominently in the briefing. Andrabi said Islamabad remains engaged with other friendly countries to help address tensions and create conditions for dialogue. He said Pakistan was making efforts to bring the two sides to the negotiating table and build on the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding. According to the spokesperson, Islamabad wants diplomatic engagement to help reduce tensions and contribute to regional stability. Andrabi also said Pakistan would continue using both direct and indirect diplomatic channels to deal with obstacles to dialogue and encourage a constructive process for resolving outstanding issues. Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Türkiye defence pact The Foreign Office spokesperson also highlighted the recently signed defence agreement between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Türkiye. The pact was signed in Makkah last Friday and seeks to strengthen cooperation and collective deterrence among the three countries. Under the agreement, an attack against one member is to be treated as an attack against all signatories. Andrabi described the agreement as defensive in character and said it reflected the three countries’ longstanding ties and shared responsibility for regional security. He stressed that the pact was not directed against any particular country. Instead, he said, it provides a framework for coordinated efforts to address security threats and challenges facing the member states. Pakistan rejects India’s AJK remarks The Foreign Office also rejected recent comments by India’s Ministry of External Affairs concerning alleged human rights violations in Azad Jammu and Kashmir. Andrabi termed India’s remarks baseless and questioned New Delhi’s criticism by pointing to what Pakistan describes as a record of repression in Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir. He alleged that excessive use of force, arbitrary detentions, restrictions on political activity and extensive security powers continued to raise serious human rights concerns there. The spokesperson said India’s attempts to politicise developments in AJK could not divert attention from the situation in Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir. He reaffirmed Pakistan’s stated commitment to protecting fundamental rights and democratic freedoms in AJK.

    Martha Stewart row leaves Meghan Markle facing fresh backlash

    Meghan Markle continues to face intense media scrutiny following her return to England with Prince Harry. Much of the latest controversy stems from comments made by Martha Stewart. The lifestyle icon claimed Meghan discussed her recent trip at an LA dinner party. Stewart also made pointed remarks about Meghan’s career shift from actress to princess to lifestyle personality. The controversy prompted TalkTV host Kevin O’Sullivan to sit down with commentator Kinsey Schofield to unpack where the story likely originated. Schofield suggested Stewart may not have realised her comments would create problems for Meghan. She described the moment as appearing to be a genuine, unplanned remark from Stewart. According to Schofield, it seems more suspicious that an anonymous source later contacted People magazine specifically to dispute parts of the story. She questioned why someone claiming to have hosted the dinner party would rush to correct the narrative while insisting on staying anonymous. The timing and motive behind that pushback struck her as unusual. O’Sullivan added his own take, acknowledging much of this remains speculation rather than confirmed fact. Still, he said it’s hard to imagine anyone other than Meghan herself being invested enough to want the story corrected. He suggested Stewart likely is not preoccupied with Meghan at all, given her own established status. However, he believed she may feel mildly annoyed by someone stepping into territory she’s long considered her own. O’Sullivan pointed out that Stewart spent decades building her reputation around cooking and home economics expertise. He argued that reputation makes her uniquely qualified in the eyes of the public. He then referenced Meghan’s Netflix series, “With Love, Meghan,” suggesting it revealed gaps in her lifestyle expertise once viewers actually watched it. According to O’Sullivan, that contrast is likely what mildly irritates Stewart the most. The commentary adds another layer to the ongoing public discourse surrounding Meghan’s post-royal career and public image. With opinions sharply divided, the story shows no signs of fading from tabloid coverage anytime soon.

    What’s really going on between Michael B. Jordan…

    Michael B. Jordan and Rihanna have sparked plenty of online curiosity after a recent outing together led fans to wonder whether the two stars could be more than friends. The viral sighting quickly fueled speculation, particularly because both celebrities are major names in entertainment. However, reports suggest there is no romance behind their meeting. According to the information attributed to Page Six, the outing was connected to work, and Jordan and Rihanna are simply friends. A viral moment creates dating rumors Celebrity sightings can quickly become the subject of online speculation, especially when two well-known stars are seen together away from a major public event. That appears to be what happened with Jordan and Rihanna. The pair’s recent appearance was enough for fans to begin wondering about their relationship. Social media reactions quickly turned a casual meeting into a possible romance story, even though neither star has publicly confirmed a relationship. Jordan has generally kept his personal life private. He previously described his love life as a subject he is not particularly interested in discussing publicly, while explaining that his demanding career can make relationships complicated. (Harper’s BAZAAR⁠) Their connection is reportedly professional Despite the speculation, the latest reports indicate that the outing had a professional reason behind it. Sources reportedly told Page Six that Jordan and Rihanna are friends and that their recent time together was work-related. That explanation offers a much simpler answer to the viral photos and suggests fans may have read more into the encounter than was actually there. Neither Jordan nor Rihanna has publicly announced a romantic relationship with each other, making the friendship explanation the only confirmed direction available at this point. Jordan keeps his dating life private Jordan has remained relatively quiet about his relationships throughout his career. His most public romance was with Lori Harvey, whom he dated for more than a year before their 2022 split. Since then, the actor has been linked to several women, although many of those reports were never confirmed. (People.com⁠) His private approach makes it understandable why even a simple public outing can attract considerable attention. Rihanna, meanwhile, has also remained focused on her family, music, business ventures and other professional projects. A sighting with another celebrity does not necessarily indicate a romantic connection. For now, the viral moment appears to be exactly that: a moment that generated plenty of speculation but little evidence of a romance.

    Reba McEntire is not in a rush to marry Rex Linn ?…

    Reba McEntire and Rex Linn are engaged, but the country music star and her fiancé are in no hurry to walk down the aisle. The couple became engaged on Christmas Eve 2024 after several years together, although they kept the news private for months. McEntire eventually confirmed the engagement publicly in September 2025, and the pair have since shared how much they are enjoying this stage of their relationship. (AARP⁠) Reba and Rex are enjoying their engagement Rather than immediately planning a wedding, McEntire and Linn have chosen to enjoy being engaged. In recent interviews, Linn explained that they still have not selected a wedding date because they are happy with where they are. “We’re just enjoying our engagement right now,” Linn said in an April 2026 interview, making it clear that there is no pressure to rush into the next step. (Yahoo News⁠) McEntire has expressed a similar attitude. She previously explained that she and Linn are putting their careers first, particularly because they both work on the NBC sitcom Happy’s Place. Their busy schedules have made wedding planning difficult. Their careers come first The couple’s professional commitments are a major reason behind the delay. McEntire continues to balance her music career with her role as a coach on The Voice, while Linn works alongside her on Happy’s Place. McEntire has openly acknowledged that finding time for a wedding can be challenging when work schedules keep changing. She previously said that if they plan a wedding for a particular month and work comes up, they will simply postpone the ceremony until another time. (Us Weekly⁠) That approach seems to suit both of them. Instead of treating the wedding as something that has to happen immediately, they are allowing their relationship to develop naturally. A relationship built on friendship McEntire and Linn first met decades ago while working on The Gambler Returns: The Luck of the Draw in 1991. They later reconnected and began dating in 2020. Their relationship has since grown into both a personal and professional partnership. The two now work together on Happy’s Place, where they play characters who share a close connection. McEntire has described Linn as her best friend and spoken warmly about how well they work together. (Us Weekly⁠) For McEntire and Linn, marriage is clearly not something they need to rush. They already have a strong relationship, shared careers and plenty of time to decide when the moment feels right.

    Millions flock to Spain, Iceland for rare total solar eclipse

    A total solar eclipse is set to darken skies across parts of Europe on August 12, drawing millions of travellers to witness the rare event. Spain and Iceland have emerged as the top destinations for eclipse chasers this week. This marks the first time the path of totality has crossed mainland Europe since August 1999. The rarity of a total eclipse passing over such densely populated regions has sparked massive international interest. Hundreds of thousands of visitors have been flocking to Spain to experience the celestial event alongside local residents. What makes Spain’s viewing especially unique is that totality will occur just before sunset, with the Sun hanging low on the western horizon. As a result, millions across northern Spain, Zaragoza and the Balearic Islands will witness a dramatic “sunset eclipse”. This will mark the first total solar eclipse visible from mainland Spain in more than a century. Spain’s Secretary of State for Science, Juan Cruz, expressed excitement over the milestone. He said he hopes the event inspires a new generation of astrophysicists, calling it a genuinely special moment for the country. Spanish authorities are preparing for roughly six million visitors travelling across the eclipse’s path. The scale of anticipated tourism reflects just how rare and significant this celestial event is considered. Iceland has also been swept up in the excitement, expecting around 80,000 visitors for the occasion. The path of totality will stretch across western Iceland and eastern Greenland, offering viewers a dramatic backdrop of rugged fjords under late-afternoon Arctic light. Visitors along Iceland’s westernmost coast will experience totality at 5:44 pm local time, as the Moon’s shadow moves steadily eastward. Those in the far western regions will see totality last up to two minutes and 13 seconds, while other areas will experience a shorter period of darkness. NASA is also playing a role in the event, deploying a high-altitude WB-57 aircraft from Iceland to track the Moon’s shadow. Additional NASA-funded teams will launch specialised weather balloons to study how the sudden darkness and cooling affects the lower atmosphere. With millions gathered across two very different landscapes, this eclipse is shaping up to be one of the most significant astronomical events of the decade.

The couple eventually exchanged vows nearly two years after becoming engaged. (People.com⁠) Tallulah has previously spoken warmly about her relationship with Acee, describing the happiness and laughter they share. Their wedding now marks the beginning of a new chapter for the couple. For Moore, the emotional dress-fitting photos offer a glimpse into the family connection surrounding the celebration.

    Russia frees former US Marine Robert Gilman after four years

    WASHINGTON: Former US Marine Robert Gilman has been released by Russian authorities after spending almost four years in detention and has returned to the United States, according to US media reports. Gilman was arrested in Moscow in 2022 following allegations that he assaulted a Russian police officer. He was subsequently convicted and remained in Russian custody for several years. His release was reportedly approved on humanitarian grounds after concerns were raised about his health. Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to pardon Gilman, paving the way for his return to the United States. US President Donald Trump welcomed the development and said his administration had worked to secure Gilman’s freedom through direct discussions with the Russian leadership. Trump described the release as a humanitarian decision and said the case had been discussed with Putin. He also indicated that Moscow did not seek the release of a Russian detainee in return for freeing the former US serviceman. The development comes amid continuing tensions between Washington and Moscow, with the detention of American citizens in Russia remaining a sensitive issue between the two countries. Gilman’s case had drawn attention in the United States because of the length of his imprisonment and concerns surrounding his health. His release now brings an end to nearly four years of detention in Russia. The former Marine is expected to reunite with his family after returning to the United States. Further details about the circumstances of his release and the pardon were not immediately disclosed. The case highlights the role of diplomatic engagement in resolving individual detention cases between the two countries, particularly at a time when broader US-Russia relations remain strained.

    Ranbir Kapoor hits back at online critics of ‘Ramayana’ VFX

    Ranbir Kapoor has pushed back against online criticism surrounding the visual effects of his upcoming film “Ramayana”. The debate picked up after fans shared mixed reactions to the film’s teaser and trailer. The actor addressed the backlash directly, pointing out how much long-term effort goes into creating high-quality CGI. He explained that artists and filmmakers had dedicated years to perfecting the film’s visuals. Kapoor noted a growing trend where online users have suddenly positioned themselves as CGI experts. He said this shift has become especially common over the past few years. He added that rising public interest in visual effects has been fuelled largely by the growing presence of artificial intelligence. According to Kapoor, most viewers don’t realise how much detailed planning goes into achieving realistic visuals. He explained that many assume complex VFX work is simply generated through AI shortcuts. In reality, he said, countless hours go into work that artists spend years perfecting. Kapoor also credited director Nitesh Tiwari and producer Namit Malhotra for their deep involvement throughout the VFX process. He said the team worked meticulously on details like colour grading and visual composition to shape the final experience. Tiwari previously revealed that certain VFX sequences alone took nearly three years to complete. The team continued refining smaller details even as the film approached its release. Producer Namit Malhotra also weighed in on the online criticism, urging audiences to reserve judgment until they see the film in theatres. He recalled how reactions shifted dramatically after showing an earlier teaser on a large IMAX screen in 3D. According to Malhotra, viewers who initially criticised certain elements changed their opinions entirely once they experienced it properly. He explained that watching VFX on a mobile phone or through poor internet doesn’t reflect the intended cinematic experience. He said the team has spent years and invested millions of dollars specifically to craft a big-screen spectacle worth the wait. Malhotra expressed confidence that the finished product will address much of the current criticism. “Ramayana” is scheduled to release in theatres on November 8, 2026, with Kapoor starring as Lord Ram. The film continues to generate anticipation as the team pushes toward delivering a large-scale visual experience for audiences.
