Kai Trump and University of Miami kicker Jake Weinberg have sparked dating rumors ... but TMZ has learned there's no romance between the two.

A rep for President Donald Trump's granddaughter tells TMZ ... Kai and Jake are just friends and they are NOT dating.

Jake previously played football at Florida State University before transferring to Miami, where Kai is a member of the women's golf team.

Michael Wilbon is suddenly stepping away from ESPN after two and half decades at the network to deal with "multiple health issues" ... and while he didn't specify the nature of the issues, he made it clear what they're not.

The 67-year-old "PTI" co-host announced the news in a statement to social media on Monday ... and in true form, he put it in sports terms.

"This isn't retirement, but it is a trip to the injured list," Wilbon wrote. "Hopefully not an extended one."

He's stepping away from both "Pardon the Interruption" as well as his NBA duties for ESPN and ABC.

Wilbon made it crystal clear these are health issues, and not ones related to alcohol or gambling. He even joked he isn't swearing off his now-and then Kir Royale ... while calling the rise of sports betting something he finds "loathsome."

Wilbon also owned up to waiting too long to make the move, despite doctors and people close to him -- Tony Kornheiser included -- seeing worrisome signs in recent years and begging him to take time off sooner. He didn't listen until now.

As one close friend put it to him, "the bill has come due."

Wilbon noted that he's loved sparring with Tony every day for a quarter of a century! He doesn't know how this will play out, but says the goal is to come back feeling much better.

And ESPN is in his corner.

Chairman Jimmy Pitaro said Wilbon has the network's full support, and he's looking forward to welcoming him back whenever he's ready.

Wilbon made his name at the Washington Post, where he started in 1980, before launching "PTI" with Kornheiser in October 2001. The show just celebrated its 25th anniversary.

The news hits less than a week after Ernie Johnson announced this season will be his last hosting "Inside the NBA" on ESPN ... as now a second voice sports fans listened to for decades steps away, at least for the moment.

There was a collective sigh of relief around the NFL after head coach Dan Campbell and the Lions delivered a "positive" update on Jack Campbell ... after the star LB went down with a frightening injury on Sunday, laying motionless on the field.

Coach kept it short on Monday when meeting with the media, reporting the prayers are working, and asking everyone to keep them coming ... before attempting to move on to football.

Fighting back emotions, coach admitted it's been hard for himself -- and his team -- to see such an integral part of the Lions in such a precarious and devastating situation.

A woman once linked to Tony Parker during his marriage to Eva Longoria has died by suicide ... years after the alleged affair rocked the San Antonio Spurs.

Erin Benavides, who was previously married to former Spurs player Brent Barry, was found dead at 54 inside a home in Port Aransas, Texas, on October 14 ... after police responded to a welfare check prompted by an alarming text message she reportedly sent to a friend of her husband.

According to the San Antonio Express-News, officers forced their way into the home and discovered Erin with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Authorities do not suspect foul play, though the investigation remains active.

Bill Belichick isn't exactly rushing to clear the air about his split from Jordon Hudson ... instead, he fired off a sarcastic jab when a reporter brought up TMZ's breakup bombshell.

The UNC football coach was asked during his Monday press conference about TMZ breaking the story about Bill and Jordon calling it quits ... with the local beat writer asking BB whether the split would have any impact moving forward.

"Do you work for a tabloid now?" Bill shot back ... prompting the reporter to reply, "Unfortunately, no."

Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson called it quits last year ... but never-before-seen photos show the former couple was still spending time together months after their secret split.

The legendary football coach and his much younger ex were spotted together in Nantucket, MA on July 2 ... with Bill walking his bicycle alongside Jordon as they made their way through town.

In photos obtained by TMZ Sports, the 74-year-old kept things casual in a striped polo, blue shorts and a baseball cap ... while Jordon rocked leopard-print leggings and a black top.

Shilo Sanders had to cut a food review short in West Palm after a man got in his face over his famous dad ... and the whole thing played out on camera.

Shilo posted the footage to his YouTube channel Sunday titled "Shilo Gets Pressed in the Hood Doing a Food Review" ... and yeah, "pressed" is putting it lightly.

Shilo was at Hook Fish & Chicken -- a spot he'd tried and loved just days earlier -- and was ordering wings at the register when a random guy, who said he was from the neighborhood, started going at him.

It's unclear what got the guy so heated, but he was pissed ... and it only escalated from there.

The video shows the verbal altercation continue into the parking lot, where the stranger accused the Sanders family of not doing anything for the West Palm Beach community.

Not much later, the man allegedly reached into his car for something, and Shilo wasn't going to wait around and figure out what is was -- the bounced.

From the car, Shilo began describing what went down, but couldn't fully explain why the man was so angry.

Shilo said he didn't want to end up having to defend himself and deal with the potential paperwork, after ... or have "someone mess around and try to harm me or do something to me. So I had to just get up out of there."

Shiloh added ... "I don't understand what he got against Deion Sanders, but he tripping."

Since leaving the NFL, Shilo has transitioned to a full-time content creator, posting vlogs, pranks and food reviews. Usually, they go A LOT smoother than this.

Jessica Alba's Nancy Kerrigan costume put her on thin ice with some fans ... and it appears she's now trying to walk it back by ridding her social media of the controversial Halloween costume.

Here's the deal ... over the weekend, Jessica posted pics of herself and a friend dressed as Nancy and Tonya Harding.

Jessica's costume was complete with a bloody knee bandage ... a clear nod to when Nancy's knee was clobbered in an attack planned and financed by Tonya's ex-husband back in the day. Tonya was banned from the sport after pleading guilty to conspiracy to hinder prosecution.

Several followers raked Jessica over the coals for the costume ... and it seems she heard their complaints -- because the pics have mysteriously disappeared from her IG.

The world knew Jake Paul was fighting on December 24th ... and now we know who will be waiting for him in the squared circle -- French MMA star, Cedric Doumbe!

"Cedric Douchebag was calling me out two years ago after knocking some dude out in nine seconds," Paul said while announcing the fight.

"Well, Douchebag, now you get your chance. I'm rusty, my jaw is janky and I don't have kickboxing world titles like you do. But guess what, this isn't kickboxing mon ami. This is BOXING."

Of course, it'll be the Problem Child's first fight since Anthony Joshua shattered the above-mentioned jaw last December ... a fight so brutal some people expected Jake to retire.

How bad was it? JP needed multiple surgeries ... teeth pulled, titanium plates installed ... and the recovery was long and painstaking.

Now, Jake's healthy, and he's back.

The rules? It's a professionally sanctioned, eight-round cruiserweight bout, with both guys wearing 10-ounce gloves.

If you're not familiar with Doumbe ... the Cameroonian-born Frenchman is a multi-time kickboxing world champ who made the jump to MMA in 2021.

The 34-year-old is signed to the PFL, the MMA promotion that Paul's Most Valuable Promotions merged with in July. He's won two of his last three fights since 2023 ... but he only has ONE pro boxing match on his record -- a win back in 2015.

Meanwhile, Paul is 12-2 as a pro, with his only losses coming to Tommy Fury and A.J., the longtime heavyweight champ.

Jake even cracked the WBA cruiserweight rankings after beating Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. -- a former champion -- in July 2025 ... but lost that spot in January after the Joshua loss.

Tom Brady knows football as well as anyone, but the GOAT proved he's still getting the hang of the broadcasting thing on Sunday ... TB12 dropped a four-letter curse word live on FOX's air!

If you're keeping count at home, that's twice this season for Brady -- but more on that later.

Brady got pulled into a "Who's In Third?' quiz with fellow QB-turned-broadcaster Drew Brees, where the two had to name the quarterback who ranks behind them in big stat categories.

On the final question -- who has the third-most career 300-yard passing games behind Brees and Brady -- TB12 confidently blurted out "Drew Brees!"

Problem is, Brees was already #1 on the list.

Brady caught his mistake in real time, but couldn't stop himself from letting out an "oh, s***!"

Here's the clip... fair warning, it's hilarious and NSFW.

The desk heard it LOUD and clear.

The crew cracked up, and even teased Brady over his rare mental slip-up. Michael Strahan reminded TB12 that the show was live ... and Curt Menefee claimed they'd let Tom get away with one, since he's still learning.

For the record, the correct trivia answer was Peyton Manning.

If this all sounds familiar, it should.

Brady used the same phrase back in week 2 while reacting to the replay of Commanders' QB Jayden Daniels' left elbow dislocating (totally get it) against the Cowboys. He apologized afterwards, admitting he wasn't expecting the gruesome sight.

Next up for Brady ... he's on the call for the Detroit Lions vs. Minnesota Vikings game.

Candice Swanepoel was spotted out and about wearing a gold ring on THAT finger as her romance with Tom Brady heats up ... and TMZ has the pics.

Sources tell TMZ ... the pair have been meeting up nearly every day the past week at a condo building close to Tom's Miami-area home ... including their rendezvous where she wore the ring.
