Why Football Star Jahkeem Stewart Cut His High School Career Short

Published | Updated

There's plenty of freshmen out there getting fans excited for the coming college football season, and Jahkeem Stewart's way up there on that list.

The defensive lineman landed his fair share of achievements over the course of his high school career -- which ended up being much shorter than anyone expected!

We're going to take a look into the college athlete's background and see what he's got planned for his future in football.

Jakheem Moved In With His Trainer When He Was In High School

Stewart was born and raised in Reserve, Louisiana, located roughly 30 miles north of New Orleans, and began playing football early on in his life.

The athlete grew to 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighed 340 pounds when he was in 6th grade, according to ESPN ... that's also when he began working with trainer Clyde Alexander.

Stewart's trainer stepped in when the football player's family home was destroyed by Hurricane Ida in 2021, and he allowed the student athlete to move in with him. He dropped 60 pounds right away, ESPN reports. He now stands 6-foot-6 and weighs around 270 pounds.

The athlete enrolled at St. Augustine High School in 2022 ... although the institution's transfer rules kept him from playing varsity-level football as a freshman.

Stewart's High School Football Career Ended Early

Stewart was ruled eligible to play for St. Augustine his sophomore year, and he racked up 85 tackles and 20 sacks.

He ended up transferring out of St. Augustine to Edna Karr High School in an effort to make him eligible to play at the collegiate level at a faster rate, after St. Augustine denied his request to reclassify him to the 2025 class. After he was reclassifed he became eligible for the early college-football signing period.

Stewart didn't appear too beat up by the switch, and told ESPN the skills he learned at his first high school "helped me become a way better man than I was going in there."

He later spoke about the success of his high school football career, stating "every time I stepped on the field -- it was havoc."

The Athlete Signed On To Play For USC

Stewart, a top recruit during his time in high school, received numerous offers to play at various institutions, including LSU, Ohio State, and the University of Oregon.

The defensive lineman eventually accepted an offer from the University of Southern California, where he's set to join their defensive line.

Stewart's not the only 5-star recruit who pledged to the institution, as he'll be joined by quarterback Husan Longstreet.

Stewart told ESPN he'd be able to prove his worth "when people see me go get 10-plus sacks" upon starting his college football career.

How Montana Shooting Suspect Michael Paul Brown Became The Target Of A Manhunt

Published

The small town of Anaconda, Montana, was rocked to its core on August 1, 2025, when a gunman entered The Owl Bar and opened fire, killing several people.

Local authorities have since identified the suspect as Michael Paul Brown, who fled the scene of the crime and is believed to be hiding from the law.

We're going to take a look into the background of the suspected gunman and see what authorities have done in the wake of the shooting.

Brown's An Army Veteran And Has Dealt With Mental Issues

Brown, who lived next door to The Owl Bar, where he was apparently a regular, served in the U.S. Army for several years, and he departed the armed forces with the rank of sergeant in 2009, according to NBC News.

The murder suspect served as an armor crewman from 2001 to 2005, was deployed to Iraq for just over a year, leaving in March 2005, and he was part of the Montana National Guard from April 2006 until March 2009.

Montana bar owner Shane Charles said Brown had dealt with post-traumatic stress disorder, as well as "mental health problems," and described the veteran as "a great guy when he was on his meds."

Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen said the murder suspect has a criminal record.

Four People Were Killed In The Shooting

Authorities allege Brown entered The Owl Bar at around 10:30 AM Mountain Time and opened fire with a rifle, then fled the scene in a white pickup truck.

Three patrons and a bartender, ranging in age from 59 to 74, were shot and killed ... Knudsen said the suspect "likely" knew the victims of the attack.

Brown then allegedly got rid of his clothing and other belongings before getting new clothing from a stolen vehicle that contained camping equipment.

Local authorities later released a photo showing the suspect apparently leaving the scene of the incident, dressed only in a pair of boxers, taken before he switched vehicles.

Brown's Believed To Be Hiding In The Mountains

Authorities later located the vehicle Brown ... and Knudsen expressed he was "very likely up in the mountains, hiding in the timber, in the cover somewhere."

Several agencies are searching for the suspect, and a $7,500 reward has been offered by the U.S Marshals Service for any information that could lead to his arrest, according to USA Today.

Residents of Anaconda and surrounding communities were initially advised to stay inside and remain on alert, according to The Associated Press.

Knudsen said while the possibility of Brown having died by suicide had been brought up, authorities are operating under the impression he is "alive, well, armed and extremely dangerous."

How Brittney Griner's Wife Cherelle Stuck By The WNBA Star

Published | Updated

Brittney Griner's been through plenty of ups and downs over the course of her professional and personal lives, and her wife Cherelle's been there for many of the athlete's hills and valleys.

The WNBA star and her spouse met during their college days, although they didn't start dating until after graduation ... and their married life was disrupted when the basketball player was unexpectedly detained on the other side of the world.

We're going to take a look at the background of the professional athlete's spouse ... and see how she dealt with her wife's ordeal.

Cherelle's A Lawyer Based In Atlanta

Cherelle started studying law at North Carolina Central University School of Law in Durham in 2019, according to People.

The WNBA star's spouse remained at the institution for three years before she graduated with honors in 2022.

Brittney revealed her wife had officially become a lawyer the following April by sharing a set of photos on her Instagram account, and expressed she was "abundantly proud" of Cherelle in the caption.

The professional basketball player wrote about the "hard work, determination, and passion" her spouse put into her degree.

The Pair Met In College ... And Eventually Started A Family

The Griners' love story runs deep and way, way, back, as they first met while they were both attending Baylor University in the early 2010s.

The thing is, Cherelle wasn't Brittney's first spouse ... the WNBA star had been briefly married to fellow professional basketball player Glory Johnson, and although Brittney filed for an annulment after just 28 days of marriage, their divorce wasn't finalized until 2016.

Griner and Baylor University alum Cherelle eventually reconnected, and they got engaged in August 2018, tying the knot the following June.

Cherelle and Brittney later started a family with the birth of their son Bash, who arrived in July 2024.

Cherelle Advocated For Brittney While The Athlete Was Imprisoned In Russia

Brittney made global headlines in March 2022 -- she had been detained in Moscow by Russian authorities the previous month after vape cartridges containing cannabis oil were found in her luggage during a trip to play ball in Russia.

The professional athlete later pleaded guilty to bringing less than a gram of cannabis oil into the country ... and although she claimed she'd done so unintentionally, she was sentenced to nine years in prison.

Cherelle expressed she was "hopeless" at times while her spouse was detained, in an interview with People -- although she later said she never had to "completely give up hope" about her wife's situation.

Griner was ultimately returned to the United States in December 2022 as part of a prisoner swap, and her wife recalled the moment she was able to reunite with her spouse as "overwhelmingly happy."

How Connor McCaffery Went From Playing To Coaching Basketball

Published | Updated

Caitlin Clark's earned herself plenty of supporters over the course of her career in collegiate and professional basketball -- and it looks like her boyfriend Connor McCaffery's one of her biggest fans!

The WNBA star and the assistant coach have been together ever since 2023 ... although he'd already made a name for himself in the sports world.

We're going to check out the background of the former college athlete and see what the Indiana Fever's point guard has had to say about her relationship.

Connor's A Former College Basketball Player

Clark's not the only one with experience on the court, as her boyfriend formerly played guard for the University of Iowa team.

The former college athlete picked up several distinctions for his work on and off the court, and he was a five-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree, according to Hawkeye Sports.

And it turns out basketball runs in McCaffery's family, because his father Fran worked as a coach for much of his life.

The senior McCaffery coached at the University of Iowa for 15 years ... and he switched over to working at his alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania, in 2025.

McCaffery Works As An Assistant Coach

McCaffery graduated from the University of Iowa in 2023, and he subsequently started his professional career as a team assistant for the Indiana Pacers ... and just in case you forgot, Clark plays for the Indiana Fever.

McCaffery remained with the team for one season before he began following in his father's footsteps, taking on an assistant coaching position at Butler University in September 2024.

Butler's head coach, Thad Matta, issued a statement at the time to speak about hiring McCaffery, and expressed he was "excited for the impact" the new assistant coach would have on the school's team, according to Fox News.

Clark shared her reaction to her boyfriend's new venture on her Instagram Story, writing she was "so happy" for her partner.

Caitlin And Connor Started Dating In 2023

Clark and McCaffery went Instagram official with their relationship in August 2023, when she posted a photo featuring the assistant coach on her account, according to Us Weekly.

The assistant coach posted on his own Instagram Story after his girlfriend became the leading scorer in the NCAA women's basketball history the following April, writing he was "so proud" of his partner's achievement.

Clark celebrated McCaffery's birthday in July 2024 with photos of him on her Instagram, and she quipped he might finally be able to "find a way to outshoot me" in her post's caption.

The assistant coach responded to his girlfriend's message in the comments, claiming he would "keep letting you win those shooting contests."

How Leanna Lenee Was Criticized By Travis Hunter's Fans

Published | Updated

Travis Hunter's earned himself plenty of achievements over the years ... and we think he's counting his marriage to Leanna Lenee as one of them!

The social media personality started off as a friend of the Heisman Trophy-winning athlete before she became his girlfriend and eventually transitioned into the role of his wife -- all within a few years.

We're going to take a look at the background of the football player's partner ... and see how her reaction to one of her husband's biggest accolades made waves across the internet.

Leanna And Travis Met When She Was A Teenager

Lenee revealed she was just 19 years old when she first met Travis in a video she shared on her TikTok account in 2024.

The social media personality, who holds a degree from Georgia's Kennesaw State University, became Hunter's girlfriend in February 2022 ... although she confessed she'd initially turned down his advances in a video shared on their shared YouTube account.

The athlete and his partner became engaged two years later, and she commemorated the occasion by sharing a set of photos on her Instagram account that February.

Hunter and Lenee eventually made things official between them at a wedding ceremony in Tennessee in May 2025.

Leanna Became The Subject Of Controversy In Late 2024

The thing is, Lenee hasn't always been viewed favorably by many of Hunter's fans, and she received criticism after a video showing coach Deion Sanders reportedly telling her to stand up after her now-husband won the Heisman Trophy went viral on X in December 2024.

The social media figure garnered even further online heat after a second video showing her apparently being rude to her partner while taking photos with his fans surfaced on social media.

Hunter came to his then-fiancée's defense while streaming on Twitch that same month, according to People, and he claimed she'd cried herself to sleep after drinking what he described as an "odee amount" of alcohol.

He then said Lenee hadn't done anything wrong when he was with his fans, and asserted she was spending time with his family while he took photos with the event's attendees.

Lenee Shared A Video Apparently Showing Her Dealing With The Backlash

The social media figure shared a video apparently shot around the period when she was receiving criticism from Hunter's fans on her TikTok account in July 2025.

Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.

In the clip, Lenee is seen sobbing and apparently talking to an off-screen figure, although her original audio had been replaced.

She also wrote a lengthy message in her post's caption and expressed she wished she "could go back and hug December me," whom she didn't "recognize."

Many of her fans left supportive messages in the post's comments section, including WNBA player Angel Reese, who wrote she was "proud" of Hunter's wife.

How Breanna Stewart Started A Family With Her Wife Marta Xargay Casademont

Published | Updated

Breanna Stewart's had a whirlwind career in the WNBA ... and her love story with her wife Marta Xargay Casademont has been just as crazy!

While the pair took their time in the early stages of their relationship, they got engaged, got married, and started a family all within a year -- how's that for moving fast?!

We're going to take a look at how the athletes' respective careers in sports led to them wanting to spend the rest of their lives -- off court, of course -- with each other.

Marta's Played Basketball At The Olympic Level

Marta, who's originally from Spain, is a retired former professional basketball player -- how's that for a common interest?!

The athlete's been involved with various teams in her home country, and she earned a silver medal as part of the 2016 Spanish Olympic women's basketball team.

Marta was drafted into the WNBA in 2015, and she spent a single season with the Phoenix Mercury, where she played guard.

She eventually announced her retirement from the sport in 2020 in a post on her Instagram account, writing she would "always treasure the memories that I created" in her professional career.

Marta And Breanna Met While Playing On The Same Team

Marta and Breanna initially met when the latter joined the Dynamo Kursk, a Russian professional basketball team, in 2018, although they weren't close at first, according to People.

The WNBA star claimed she was "nervous to do anything" with her now-wife at first, and the Spanish athlete expressed her spouse "didn't want to mess it up" when they were initially getting to know each other.

The pair's connection grew closer when Breanna ruptured her Achilles tendon and had to recover at home in the United States.

They eventually decided to make things official, and the power forward popped the big question on a hike outside of Phoenix, Arizona, in May 2021.

The Pair Had A Baby ... One Month After Getting Married

Stewart and Marta tied the knot in an intimate wedding ceremony at their home in July 2021.

And they didn't exactly wait long to start a family either, because they welcomed daughter Ruby that August!

Stewart spoke to People shortly after her child's arrival, and described motherhood as "bigger than anything else that I've done."

The athletes waited a bit longer to bring their second child, son Theo, into their lives, as he was born in October 2023.

How Mel Owens Upset Much Of Bachelor Nation

Published | Updated

Mel Owens has been in the media plenty of times over his life, which has seen him go from being a professional football player to a sports lawyer -- before signing on as the second "Golden Bachelor" on the popular television show.

The thing is, the sports figure landed himself in hot water in 2025, when he told producers he wasn't looking to date anyone over the age of 60 ... which caused a stir within Bachelor Nation.

We're going to check out what the television figure's done to make a name for himself prior to his appearance on the hit ABC series ... and see what he's said about his past comments.

Mel Played College And Pro Football Back In The Day

Owens began his athletic career at the University of Michigan, where he served as one of the institution's linebackers for several years before ending his college career in 1980.

Mel brought his talents as a linebacker to the Los Angeles Rams, and he joined the team in 1981.

The professional athlete spent the entirety of his football career with the team, retiring from the NFL in 1989.

Following his stint with the Rams, Owens became a lawyer focusing on sports-related injuries and incidents ... he married and had two sons with a woman named Fabiana Owens in 2002, according to Us Weekly, and divorced his wife in 2020.

Mel Was Picked As The Next Golden Bachelor In April 2025

Owens' designation as the second Golden Bachelor was revealed to Bachelor Nation fans in April 2025.

The former professional football player will be following the first Golden Bachelor Gerry Turner -- who married and quickly divorced his own season's winner, Theresa Nist.

Jesse Palmer, who hosts "The Bachelor" and its various spinoffs, described Owens as a perfect candidate for the program in an interview with Us Weekly, where he said the former athlete had been through "hills and valleys in his personal life."

Palmer went on to describe Owens as a "great lead" and stated the lawyer "really wants to find a special person" through his involvement with the program.

Mel Set An Age Range For His Season Of The Show ... And Later Apologized

The thing is, Owens upset much of Bachelor Nation when he was asked his dating preferences by show producers, answering he only wanted women within the 45-60 age range to appear on his season of "The Golden Bachelor," according to an interview for the "In The Trenches" podcast.

Mel stated he'd told producers he wanted all the women "to be fit" and asked them to stay away from "artificial hips and the wigs."

Owens later told Glamour he'd spoken to a friend about his comments regarding the age of the show's contestants, and claimed he didn't realize they'd "hit that hard" in their conversation, after which he wanted to publicly apologize for what he'd said.

He then described the fact he'd made the statements as a "mistake" and expressed he would be working to earn back the trust of both the contestants and viewers "every single moment that I’m on the show."

How Hroniss Grasu Ended Up Married To WNBA Star Sabrina Ionescu

Published | Updated

WNBA star Sabrina Ionescu's had plenty of great moments over the course of her career in the league -- and we think her 2024 wedding counts as one of them!

The New York Liberty's point guard tied the knot with Hroniss Grasu in Laguna Beach, California ... and a few figures with ties to the NBA were at the party, too!

We're going to take a look into the background of the basketball player's husband and see what led the two all the way to the altar.

Hroniss Was A Professional Football Player

Grasu's been a football player ever since his youth, and he joined the roster of the University of Oregon -- which Ionescu also attended -- in 2010.

Grasu was part of the squad that won the Rose Bowl twice, and he went on to become a third-round pick by the Chicago Bears in the 2015 NFL Draft.

The professional football player spent a total of seven seasons in the NFL as a center, and he played for several teams, including the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens.

Grasu was most recently with the Las Vegas Raiders, where he was traded in 2021 and remained until 2023.

Hroniss And Sabrina Went Instagram Official In 2021

Ionescu and Grasu let their fans know about their relationship in 2021, when they went Instagram official as a couple.

The pair dated for two more years until the professional football player got down on one knee and proposed to the athlete, which she documented on her Instagram account.

The point guard later shared a video on her TikTok account, telling her fans she was "completely shocked and caught off guard" by her partner's proposal.

Ionescu then added Grasu had "played it off so well" prior to popping the big question, and recalled she "couldn’t stop taking pictures with my ring" in the hours following the proposal.

The Two Tied The Knot At A Beachfront Wedding Ceremony

The athletes made things official between them at their wedding ceremony, which was attended by Dallas Wings forward Satou Sabally, Vanessa Bryant, and former NBA power forward and center Pau Gasol, according to ESPN.

Ionescu made several comments about her wedding in an interview with People, and described the event as "the highlight" of her offseason.

The athlete and her husband, both of whom are of Romanian heritage, had "25 to 30" of their extended family members flown to America for the special occasion.

Ionescu then noted she was "still getting used to saying that I have a husband."

How Paul Skenes' Girlfriend Livvy Dunne Made Her Millions

Published | Updated

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes has made a career of striking out batters left and right -- but it looks like he hit a home run with his girlfriend, Livvy Dunne!

The athlete and the influencer have been together for a few years now, and they've become pretty comfortable showing their affection in public ... like when he tied her lace-up heel right before the 2025 MLB All-Star Game.

We're going to check out what the social media figure was up to before she met the pro athlete ... and see what brought them together.

Livvy Was A Gymnast At LSU

Dunne's been a gymnast for several years, and she was formerly a member of the U.S. Junior National Gymnastics Team.

She later joined Louisiana State University's gymnastics team in 2020, and she helped her teammates earn the 2024 NCAA Women's Gymnastics National Championship title.

Dunne's popularity can partially be attributed to the NCAA's Name, Image and Likeness rule, which was implemented in 2021 and lets college athletes participate in sponsorships and make endorsements.

The former college athlete really caught the wave at the right time -- and she's raked in a cool $4.1 million through her collaborations with various companies, according to On3.

She's Been An Influencer Since Her College Days

Dunne began her career as an influencer after the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and earned herself several million followers on TikTok before she'd even started college.

Although she was initially faced with "learning curves" and "had to learn on my own how to navigate" her social media fame, according to ESPN, she evidently figured out a solid rhythm, because she was featured on the Forbes 30 Under 30 and TIME100 Creators lists.

The influencer has since linked up with content creator platform Passes -- in what was described as a "multi-million-dollar deal," according to Sports Illustrated -- which allows her to create exclusive content for fans.

Oh yeah, and she was featured as one of the cover models for the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue ... after being included in the annual publication in both 2023 and 2024, of course.

Livvy And Paul Met In College

Dunne and Skenes met while they were both attending LSU, and her fans began speculating about the state of their relationship after she was spotted wearing a jersey with his name on it in a video shared on her TikTok account in 2023.

The happy couple went public with their relationship that August, and they've been spotted on plenty of red carpets -- and cute dates, naturally -- ever since then.

The influencer opened up about her romance with Skenes in an interview with People, where she expressed neither she nor her boyfriend would "restrict each other from doing things" in their respective professional lives.

Dunne added, while she understood her boyfriend was "always on the go," she's been "trying to go to as many baseball games as I can."

How Napheesa Collier Built A League With Her Husband Alex Bazzell

Published | Updated

WNBA star Napheesa Collier's made plenty of strides on the court as the Minnesota Lynx's power forward ... and a large part of her success story involves her husband, Alex Bazzell.

The basketball player and her spouse have been together for several years, and their personal connection's carried over to their professional lives as well.

We're going to check out how the athlete and her partner started a family together ... and how they're working on creating a lasting legacy within the sports world.

Alex and Napheesa Met When She Was in High School

Bazzell and Collier's love story goes way, way back, because he met the athlete during her senior year of high school, according to People.

The sports industry figure and the athlete evidently stayed in touch afterward, because he acted as her trainer when she was a student athlete at the University of Connecticut.

The pair began dating when she was a junior in college, and Bazzell popped the big question in October 2019.

You know that old rhyme, first comes love, then comes marriage? That doesn't really apply in this case ... because the couple welcomed their daughter Mila in May 2022 before they tied the knot that October.

Bazzell's Worked With Some of the Biggest Names in Basketball

Remember how we said Bazzell trained Collier when she was in college? Turns out, she's not the only person he's trained over the years -- do the names Carmelo Anthony or Kyrie Irving ring any bells?

The sports executive was associated with Kobe Bryant, as well as his daughter Gianna -- who he trained -- and he told People the Los Angeles Lakers star was "the biggest mentor I've had."

Bazzell said the late athlete showed him how to remove the "pressure" for his daughter to follow in the footsteps of her parents and pursue an athletic career.

Oh, and he's spent a little bit of time on the court as well, as he briefly played professional basketball in Germany, according to his LinkedIn.

Alex and Napheesa Work Together for the Unrivaled League

On top of their personal connection, Bazzell and Collier are professionally involved, as they've both worked on the development of the Unrivaled women's basketball league.

Collier co-founded the league alongside fellow WNBA star Breanna Stewart, and Unrivaled serves as a venue for professional female basketball players to play the sport in the offseason.

Bazzell, who serves as the league's president, provided a statement to CNBC Sport, saying the league would "fill a gap in the calendar" for numerous athletes, and described Unrivaled as "extending the runway of professional basketball."

The league offers its players both equity and high salary opportunities, and Collier said its financial setup would help create "generational wealth" for female athletes.

How Andrew James McGann Was Charged With Capital Murder

Published | Updated

Residents of Arkansas were left reeling after reports emerged about the brutal murders of a married couple who were hiking with their young children at Devil's Den State Park in July 2025.

Within days, the state police force apprehended and arrested suspect Andrew James McGann, who has been charged with two counts of murder.

We're going to take a look into the background of the accused murderer and see what led up to the chilling incident.

McGann Was a Schoolteacher ... and Had Been Placed on Administrative Leave in the Past

The 28-year-old McGann was formerly a resident of Oklahoma, and he'd moved to Springdale, Arkansas in the months prior to the incident, according to the Associated Press.

The murder suspect had active teaching licenses in Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas ... and he was set to begin working for the Springdale Public Schools district for the 2025-2026 school year, according to USA Today.

McGann was placed on administrative leave from the Donald Elementary School in Flower Mound, Texas, in the spring of 2023, after "concerns related to classroom management, professional judgment, and student favoritism" were raised.

He resigned from his position in Texas in May 2023, and he subsequently taught within a small district in Oklahoma from the summer of 2024 until May 2025.

The Attack at Devil's Den Took Place in Broad Daylight

The victims of the brutal attack -- 43-year-old Clinton David Brink and 41-year-old Cristen Amanda Brink -- were found dead on a walking trail at Devil's Den State Park on July 26.

The pair was hiking with their two daughters when the attack occurred in broad daylight, and officials stated Clinton was the first to be stabbed, followed by Cristen, who was stabbed after getting the two kids -- ages 7 and 9 -- to safety.

The pair's children weren't hurt in the attack, and they're currently in the care of family members.

A composite sketch of the suspect was released after the incident occurred, and tips about the identity of the murder suspect reportedly came in from across the country.

McGann Was Arrested at a Barbershop

Arkansas State Police said they arrested McGann at a barbershop in Springdale on the afternoon of July 30, according to Today.

He's since been charged with two counts of capital murder.

Arkansas State Police Major Stacie Rhoads said investigators were "still exploring and determining exactly what that motive" for the attack was.

The Arkansas State Police's Secretary of Public Safety and Director Mike Hagar claimed the authorities took "a monster off the streets" and hoped the arrest would "bring relief" to the Brinks' daughters.

How Elon Musk Ended Up As A Father To Many, Many Kids

Published

Elon Musk's worn plenty of hats throughout his career, including that of a father -- to many, many children!

The tech magnate's personal life's generated much attention over the years, both for the large size of his family and for his relationships with his past partners and their respective kids.

We're going to look into the entrepreneur's experiences with fatherhood ... as well as his relationships with the mothers of his children.

Elon's First Child Died at Just 10 Weeks Old

Musk's first child, a son named Nevada Alexander, was born to his first wife, Justine Wilson, in 2002.

However, the entrepreneur's first child passed away at just 10 weeks old after experiencing Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

Wilson spoke about the loss of her son in an interview with Marie Claire, where she recalled holding "him in my arms when he died."

Musk's former wife also claimed they visited an IVF clinic just two months after Nevada's death, and expressed she "planned to get pregnant again as swiftly as possible."

Musk and Nelson Welcomed Five More Kids ... Then Split Up

The Tesla founder and his ex first welcomed a pair of twins, Griffin and Vivian, in April 2004. Vivian legally changed her name and gender in 2022.

While Griffin's largely stayed out of the spotlight over the years, Vivian's made plenty of headlines for openly trashing her father and criticizing the way he handled their relationship.

We revealed the tech magnate's child filed a petition in Los Angeles County Superior Court shortly after her 18th birthday, in which she claimed she didn't want to "be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form."

She's also been open about how she's learned about her younger half-siblings, whom Musk shares with various partners, through the media, and she told Teen Vogue she didn't really "keep up with that side of the family."

Musk and Wilson went on to welcome a set of triplets, named Kai, Saxon, and Damian, in 2006. The couple split up and divorced in 2008.

Elon Started Seeing Grimes ... and They Welcomed Three Kids

The tech mogul eventually began seeing Claire Boucher -- better known by her stage name Grimes -- and she revealed her pregnancy in January 2020.

The singer gave birth to a baby boy that May, and although they originally wanted to name him X Æ A-12, we revealed they had to settle for X AE A-XII ... as California law doesn't allow for special characters to be used in legal names.

Oh, and in case you had any questions about how to pronounce the kid's name, X is spoken like the letter, AE is pronounced as "Ash," and the final part's spoken like "A-12" ... it's original, to say the least.

Musk and Grimes ultimately went their separate ways in September of 2021 -- but they welcomed a daughter named Exa Dark Sideræl via surrogate that December, which Grimes revealed in an interview with Vanity Fair.

And the on-off couple didn't stop there ... because they welcomed a second son, Techno Mechanicus, via surrogate in June 2022, although the news about the kid wasn't shared until the following September.

He Welcomed Kids With a Neuralink Executive in the Early 2020s

If it wasn't evident already, parenthood's a pretty big deal for Musk -- and he welcomed a group of kids with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis over the course of the early 2020s.

The two first met when she signed on to work with OpenAI -- which was co-founded by the entrepreneur -- in 2016, and she later joined Neuralink, where she serves as the director of special projects.

Musk eventually approached Zilis about the prospect of starting a family, and she later had a conversation with journalist Walter Isaacson for the tech mogul's authorized biography in which she claimed the entrepreneur "really wants smart people to have kids," according to People.

The pair's children -- a pair of twins named Strider and Azure -- were conceived through IVF and were welcomed via surrogate in November 2021.

Musk and Zilis later had a third child, a daughter named Arcadia, in February 2024, although her birth wasn't publicly revealed for four months.

And they didn't stop there, as the Neuralink exec revealed she'd welcomed the pair's youngest child -- their son Seldon Lycurgus -- in an X post in February 2025, though no information about his birthdate was included at the time, according to Page Six.

Elon Allegedly Fathered A Child With A Conservative Influencer

Musk found himself in a bit of a hot situation when conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair claimed he'd fathered her child in a post shared on her X account in February 2025.

The social media figure alleged the child was born the previous September, and she later sued the entrepreneur for sole custody of the baby after she claimed he became nonresponsive toward her, despite him remaining in contact throughout her pregnancy.

The tech mogul spoke about his alleged child in a post shared on his X account in March 2025, where he claimed he was "not against finding out" the paternity of the kid, according to People.

He also claimed he'd sent St. Clair $2.5 million at the time of the post, and he said he was "sending her $500K" every year.

An update about the child was reported in April 2025 by the Wall Street Journal -- the kid's name is Romulus, and Labcorp declared Musk's "probability of paternity" rate was 99.9999%.

How Beyoncé And Jay-Z's Kids Made Names For Themselves

Published

Beyoncé and Jay-Z have accomplished plenty of big things in their respective careers -- including becoming parents to three kids!

The singer and the rapper share two daughters -- Blue Ivy and Rumi -- as well as a son named Sir, and these kids have already been featured in their parents' music videos and promotional videos ... must be a fun childhood!

We're going to take a look into the lives of the performers' children and see what they've achieved over the course of their lives.

The Couple's First Child Holds a World Record

Beyoncé announced she was pregnant with her first child at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards ceremony, when she showed off her baby bump after a performance of her track "Love on Top."

The hitmaker gave birth to her daughter Blue Ivy the following January, and the kid became the Guinness World Record Holder for the youngest chart entrant.

Blue's "breathing, cries and coos" were featured on Jay-Z's track "Glory" ... which made its debut on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart just a few days after her birth.

The kid also became the youngest female Hot 100 chart entrant after she was featured on her mother's 2019 track "BROWN SKIN GIRL," although she was eventually surpassed by a relative ... more on that in just a minute.

Beyoncé Gave Birth to Twins in 2017

Beyoncé and Jay-Z revealed they were planning on expanding their family further when she shared a pregnancy announcement on Instagram in February 2017, which got over 10 million likes -- the Beyhive really latched onto that one!

The "Drunk in Love" singer gave birth to twins Rumi and Sir in June 2017, and the performer later described her pregnancy as "extremely difficult" in her 2019 film "Homecoming," according to People.

Oh, remember how we talked about Blue's world record a little bit earlier? Being the youngest female Hot 100 chart entrant was taken over by Rumi in 2024!

The youngest of Beyoncé's daughters was just 6 years old when she was featured as a guest artist on her mother's track "Protector," which debuted at number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The Carters' Kids Have Joined Them Onstage

It looks like the Carter kids are taking after their parents, because they've collaborated with their folks on several occasions over the years.

Blue's shared the spotlight with her mom a few times, and she notably danced onstage for a short portion of the first stop on Beyoncé's "Renaissance" tour in 2023.

Rumi's also been featured onstage alongside her mother, and she made an appearance alongside Beyoncé and Blue her while her mom was performing "Protector," appropriately enough, at the opening night of the "Cowboy Carter" tour in April 2025.

And don't worry about Sir, he hasn't been left out of the family's projects, as he starred -- with his siblings, of course -- in a 2021 ad for his mother's IVY PARK x adidas clothing line.

How Kevin Gates Started A Family -- And Worked With -- His Estranged Wife Dreka

Published | Updated

It looks like Kevin Gates might not need two phones anymore ... because his "one for the love" could be silent for a while.

We revealed the rapper's now-estranged wife Dreka filed for divorce in July 2025, and she cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason behind the split.

We're going to take a look at the background of the performer's former partner and see what happened in the months leading up to their split.

Kevin and Dreka Were Together for Decades

Kevin and Dreka started dating at some point around 2003, as evidenced by an Instagram post Dreka shared of the two in 2020, where she claimed they'd been together for "17 years" at that point.

Kevin and Dreka -- who's an entrepreneur -- eventually decided to make things between them official, and they tied the knot in October 2015.

The rapper and his partner started a family with the birth of their first child, Islah, in 2012, and they welcomed a son named Khaza two years later.

Oh yeah, and Kevin actually named his debut album after his daughter, and his third album after his son -- how's that for a proud dad?

Dreka Was Her Husband's Business Partner

So we know Kevin and Dreka had a long personal relationship ... and it turns out they had a professional one as well!

The former couple co-founded a record label -- Bread Winners' Association -- in 2010 ... and most of the rapper's releases have been through the imprint.

In addition to her involvement with the label, Dreka worked as her now-estranged husband's booking manager, stepping down from her role in 2022.

The businesswoman has her own professional interests outside the music industry, as she's worked on various projects in the skincare and cannabis industries.

Brittany Renner Was Married To Kevin ... For 52 Days

The thing is, Dreka wasn't the only woman in Kevin's life, as he was married to reality television star Brittany Renner -- for just a few weeks!

The rapper and Renner -- a model and media figure -- were first linked in April 2025 when they went Instagram official with their relationship ... and she referred to him as her "huzband" in a post she shared the following month.

However, Kevin and Brittany only remained together for several weeks, as she claimed they were married from April 6 to May 28 in an interview with Real 92.3 LA ... and added she didn't feel as if their split had been a "sucky situation."

The "Basketball Wives" star stated she had "followed my heart" over the course of her marriage to the rapper, in which she "gave 100 percent" of herself to their relationship.

How Didarul Islam's Loss Was Felt Across New York City

Published

The Midtown Manhattan mass shooting of July 28 sent shockwaves throughout New York City, and much of the metropolis has come together in support of the victims of the attack.

One of the individuals who was gunned down in the violent incident was NYPD Officer Didarul Islam, whose family has taken his loss especially hard.

We're going to take a look into the background of the late law enforcement figure and see why he's been described as a "hero" in the wake of his death.

Islam Was An Immigrant From Bangladesh

Islam immigrated to the United States from Bangladesh and settled in The Bronx, where he lived with his family in the Parkchester neighborhood, according to abc7NY.

The officer had been with the NYPD for three and a half years at the time of the shooting, and he was assigned to the city's 47th Precinct.

The cop was off-duty and was working a private security detail assignment at the time of the heinous attack, which marked the first time an NYPD officer of Bangladeshi descent was killed in the line of duty.

Islam was wearing his NYPD uniform and was reportedly carrying his service weapon when Shane Tamura carried out the shooting.

Islam's Family Was Greatly Affected By His Passing

While Islam's loss was felt throughout New York City, it hit hardest with his immediate family, which includes his wife and two young sons, according to CBS News New York.

Even more heartbreaking is the fact that Islam's wife was pregnant with the couple's third child at the time of the shooting.

Islam's cousin Muhammad Mainul Islam spoke to CBS News after the officer's death was shared with the public, and he said the late cop's father suffered a stroke after he learned about what happened to his son.

Congregants of Parkchester Jame Masjid mosque, where the law enforcement officer and his family attended prayer services, have also been affected by his loss.

Islam Has Been Called A 'Hero' Following His Passing

Islam's death was marked with numerous tributes from various figures, including New York City Mayor Eric Adams and NY Governor Kathy Hochul, both of whom directed flags to fly at half-staff in memory of the fallen officer.

Adams spoke about Islam at a news conference following the shooting and stated the cop "embodies what this city is all about."

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch described Islam as a "hero" who "made the ultimate sacrifice" for the residents of New York City.

A dignified transfer of the late officer's body from the medical examiner's office to a mosque in Parkchester was carried out on Tuesday, during which NYPD officers and FDNY personnel saluted the vehicle carrying his body as it went through the city's streets.

Midtown Manhattan descended into panic on July 28 when a gunman entered 345 Park Avenue and began firing at various individuals, including an off-duty police officer and a security guard.

One of the people caught up in the harrowing attack was Wesley LePatner, who was confirmed dead when the dust settled.

We're going to check out the background of the victim of the unfortunate incident and see how her colleagues and families have reacted to her passing.

LePatner Was A Major Player In New York City's Real Estate Market

LePatner, who held a degree in History from Yale University, served as the Senior Managing Director of Blackstone, an alternative assets management fund.

The executive also acted as the Global Head of Core+ Real Estate and the the Chief Executive Officer of Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, which carried a $53 billion net asset value, according to Fortune.

LePatner spoke about her work on Core+ in a 2022 Business Insider profile, where she expressed she'd faced "all the challenges one could imagine when building a multibillion-dollar business."

Prior to joining Blackstone, LePatner began her career at Goldman Sachs, where she spent over a decade working in its real estate division.

Blackstone issued a statement following the executive's passing in which she was described as "deeply respected within our firm."

LePatner Headed Blackstone's Women's Initiative

In addition to her work in Blackstone's real estate sector, LePatner was the head of the company's Women's Initiative, which served to develop programs focused on gender inclusion within the firm.

The executive had plenty of other interests, and she was appointed as a trustee of the Metropolitan Museum Of Art in early 2025.

The Met's CEO, Max Hollein, provided Business Insider with a statement about LePatner's death, describing her as "a person of deep intellect and warmth."

The businesswoman also served on the board of the The Abraham Joshua Heschel School, as well as the UJA-Federation of New York.

LePatner's involvement with the UJA also saw her lead a solidarity mission to Israel, which took place after the October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks.

She Left Behind A Husband And Two Children

The executive left behind a family, which she started with her husband Evan, whom she met on her first day at Yale, according to the Daily Mail.

LePatner is survived by her parents, her spouse and their two children.

The late businesswoman's family released a statement following her death, saying they "cannot properly express the grief" they've experienced, according to the New York Post.

They also discussed "experiencing an enormous, gaping hole in our hearts that will never be filled" in the statement and pledged to "carry on the remarkable legacy Wesley created."
