Since September 2006, the Irwin family have been missing a piece in the form of Steve Irwin. However, they have not filled this chasm with anybody else. Robert and Terri Irwin recently talked about the rumors surrounding Terri’s dating life and a friend who has been invaluable to the family.

In the years following the tragic loss of beloved wildlife conservationist Steve Irwin, his family has courageously carried on his legacy, with each member stepping into the spotlight in their own unique way. Recently, Terri and Steve Irwin’s son, Robert Irwin, has come forward to address the swirling rumors surrounding his mother Terri’s dating life since the untimely death of his father.

Despite numerous reports linking her to over thirty individuals, one of whom was rumored to be King Charles, Robert has dismissed all such claims as “absolute nonsense.” In a candid discussion about the topic, Terri herself has humorously shed light on her personal life, remarking, “I have a lot of quiet evenings with a nice, big, juicy pizza.”

Despite the public’s curiosity and the occasional rumor, such as the one that emerged six years ago suggesting a romantic connection with actor Russell Crowe, Terri remains a single woman. Terri, maintaining her characteristic humor, clarified that they were merely friends, recounting how Crowe reached out in bemusement over the rumors.

Reflecting more deeply on the matter, Terri revealed the bond formed between Crowe and Steve years ago, emphasizing the actor’s steadfast support for her family through challenging times, including efforts to protect their conservation reserve from potential threats. Terri warmly regards Crowe as a “dear friend,” a testament to the enduring friendships that have supported the Irwin family through their loss.

Amidst her responsibilities running the Australia Zoo and starring in an Animal Planet series, Terri Irwin has expressed little interest in rekindling romance. “I think it’s wonderful when people who have lost someone find love again, but I’m not personally looking, and I haven’t been on a date in 27 years,” she stated in 2018. Terri reminisces about her “happily ever after” with Steve, whom she met in 1991 and married just eight months later. The couple’s profound connection and shared passion for wildlife conservation blessed them with two children, Bindi Irwin and Robert, before Steve’s life was cut short in 2006.

The unexpected nature of Steve’s accident left a profound impact on Terri and their children, prompting the family to adopt nightly rituals that focused on positive reflections and acts of kindness. This practice, Terri believes, has been crucial in their healing process, allowing them to shift focus outward and begin to heal through service to others and dedication to the causes Steve held dear.

As the Irwin family continues to navigate life without Steve, Terri has remained a pillar of strength, emphasizing the importance of carrying forward Steve’s legacy and passion for conservation. She reflects on Steve’s full and vibrant life, expressing a desire to live just as fully and meaningfully.

The family has also received support from those around them, like Crowe. Cementing the role he plays as a close friend in the Irwins’s lives, Crowe bought Bindi and her husband a fig tree as a wedding present in 2019. Now, they have planted the tree and are enjoying it with their daughter.

 

A cancer-stricken man given months to live has stunned doctors after his deadly brain tumour effectively vanished.

Ben Trotman, 41, from West Sussex, signed up for a world-first treatment trial after his shock glioblastoma diagnosis in October 2022.

Told he had likely had just nine months left, he and fiancée Emily brought forward their wedding to last January.

But Mr Trotman, an investment banker at JP Morgan, is now living a normal life, all because of the ‘lucky break’ therapy he received. Doctors claimed his remarkable recovery was ‘previously unheard of’.

Typical treatment plans for glioblastoma see patients have surgery before chemo and radiotherapy. This is still the same way it was treated in the early 2000s.

The Wanted singer Tom Parker (pictured with his wife Kelsey Parker in October 2021) died in March 2022 following an 18-month battle with stage four glioblastoma. He said after his diagnosis that he was 'shocked' at the limited treatment options for GBM and 'massive improvements' were needed

Dr Paul Mulholland, a brain cancer specialist based at University College Hospital, London and head of the new trial, told The Times, that the end result is ‘the same story every time’.

The disease — which strikes around 3,000 Brits and 12,000 Americans each year —usually returns before ultimately killing patients, Dr Mulholland said.

Under his trial, patients were supposed to get a course of immunotherapy before undergoing the usual course of treatments.

Immunotherapy revs up the body’s internal weaponry to hunt and destroy cancer cells.

The Times reported that the trial had to close with Mr Trotman as its only patient.

Yet Dr Mulholland said the results were so promising that a cure might finally be on the horizon.

He said: ‘I believe we have the tools to cure it.

‘We need to intervene early to give patients the best chance for longer-term survival.

‘It is important not just for brain cancer patients but for all the other left-behind cancers with poor survival, like pancreatic cancer.’

Average survival time for glioblastoma is between 12 and 18 months, according to the Brain Tumour Charity. Only 5 per cent of patients survive five years, it says.

The disease killed the Labour politician Dame Tessa Jowell in 2018.

Last March, The Wanted singer Tom Parker also died following an 18-month battle with stage four glioblastoma.

He said after his diagnosis that he was ‘shocked’ at the limited treatment options for GBM and ‘massive improvements’ were needed.

Diagnosed patients usually undergo surgery to remove as much of the tumour as possible.

This is followed by daily radiation and chemo drugs for around six weeks, after which the drugs are scaled back.

Radiation can be then used to destroy additional tumour cells and treat those who are not well enough for surgery.

But the cancer can double in size in just seven weeks.

For comparison, the fastest-growing lung cancers take 14 weeks to double.

Under the trial, funded by The Jon Moulton Charity Trust, Mr Trotman first underwent one course of immunotherapy before following standard treatments.

The cancer, which is diagnosed in around 3,000 Brits and 12,000 Americans a year, is still treated in the same way it was in the early 2000s. The average survival time is around 15 months, with fewer than 10 per cent of patients alive five years after diagnosis following standard treatment. It killed the Labour politician Dame Tessa Jowell in 2018

The unnamed drug used, which is not yet widely available, saw him suffer a severe headache.

Doctors said this was a good sign because it showed his immune system had ‘woken up’ and was attacking the tumour.

Dr Mulholland has now urged for the same approach to be taken in future trials.

It comes as Labour MP Dame Siobhan McDonagh last month introduced a bill to parliament calling on an increase in the number of brain tumour clinical trials.

The MP for Mitcham and Morden lost her sister Baroness Margaret McDonagh, a Labour peer, to a glioblastoma in June last year.

Under the bills recommendations include, compulsory training for NHS cancer doctors on brain tumours and at least 200 patients a year to join clinical trials.

WHAT IS A GLIOBLASTOMA AND JUST HOW DEADLY IS IT? THE AGGRESSIVE BRAIN TUMOR SUFFERED BY JOHN MCCAIN

Glioblastoma is considered the most aggressive tumor that can form in the brain. Senator John McCain was diagnosed with one in July 2017.

Patients have a 10 per cent chance of surviving five years after their diagnosis, according to figures. The average lifespan is between 14 and 16 months.

Three adults per every 100,000 will be struck down with a glioblastoma, says The American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS).

It is most commonly found in men aged 50 to 60, and there is no link between developing glioblastoma and having a previous history with other cancers.

WHAT IS THE TUMOR MADE OF? 

The tumor is made up of a mass of cells growing quickly in the brain, and in most cases patients have no family history of the disease.

It won’t spread to other organs, however, once it is diagnosed, it is nearly impossible to target, surgeons claim.

Unlike other types of brain cancer which are more specifically located, glioblastoma can occur in any part of the brain.

WHAT TREATMENT IS AVAILABLE?

Because the tumor likely already spread deep into the brain by the time it is diagnosed, the cancerous tissue is incredibly difficult to remove.

Surgeon will only ever remove the tumor, or part of the tumor, if it won’t do any damage to the surrounding brain tissue.

Dr Babcar Cisse, a neurosurgeon at the Weill Cornell Brain and Spine Center, told Daily Mail Online in July 2017: ‘By the time a glioblastoma is diagnosed, microfibers can spread to the rest of the brain which an MRI would not spot.

‘So even if the main tumor is removed and the patient receives radiation and chemotherapy, it will come back.’

GRADING A GLIOBLASTOMA

Brain tumors are graded from between one to four, depending on how fast they grow and how aggressive they are.

Malignant tumors are either given a high-grade three or four, while benign ones are given a lower grade one or two.

Glioblastoma is often referred to as a grade four astrocytoma – another form of brain tumor, says the AANS.

Patients typically complain of symptoms such as confused vision, trouble with memory, dizziness and headaches.

The symptoms are somewhat nonspecific, and vary from person to person, and may not persist.

Some patients suffer from blindness if the tumour compresses their optic nerve, which connects the retina to the brain, resulting in vision loss.

The disease is therefore impossible to diagnose based on symptoms alone.

A Hollywood legend in his own right, Sidney Poitier first rose to fame when he was cast as the lead role on “No way Out.” Over a decade later, he was the first Black actor to win an Oscar for the film “Lilies of the Field.”

While he landed a historic Academy Award for the film, the most important would be his stint on “The Lost Man.” It changed the actor’s life forever, as it was where he met his future wife, Joanna Shimkus.

Sadly, Poitier passed away last year at the age of 94. He and Shimkus had been married for 45 years when he passed away. It was revealed on his death certificate that he passed away from heart failure, dementia, and prostate cancer.

Poitier passed away surrounded by his family and friends and spent his last day the same way. His children mentioned that they were grateful that they got to spend time with their father before he passed away. They also said that to them, he was not a star but rather a husband and father. They said:

“He is our guiding light who lit up our lives with infinite love and wonder. His smiles were healing, his hugs the warmest refuge, and his laughter was infectious.”

About Joanna Shimkus

Poitier wed Shimkus in 1976, over ten years since divorcing his first wife, Juanita Hardy, in 1965. The couple stood the test of time, having been married for over four decades.

Born in Canada, Shimkus began her career in 1964 through “All About Loving.” She then had a couple of other projects until 1972, when she decided to take a long break from acting.

Her Acting Career

She did not have any projects under her name until 2010 when she appeared on “Yard Sale” and then “The Force” in 2018. Ultimately, it showed that she took a break from acting to focus on her family.

In 1972, she gave birth to her and Poitier’s first daughter Anika before giving birth to their daughter Sydney the following year. Both children have followed in their footsteps in the industry.

A Passion More Than A Job

Anika directed “Black Irish,” where Shimkus was an executive producer as well. Meanwhile, Sydney appeared in “Veronica Mars” and Quentin Tarantino’s “Death Proof.”

Admittedly, Shimkus did not think acting would be her lifelong gig. Before marrying Poitier, she got into the industry because she believed it was “better than being in an office.”

Loving Her Work

In the end, she continues to act because it’s something she enjoys doing. To her, it is not necessarily something she has to do to make ends meet, especially with her children all grown up and with their budding careers.

The Love of Her Life

Despite accounts of Poitier’s infidelity during his first marriage, he and Shimkus remained a happy couple up until his passing in January 2022. Speaking about how they’ve made it work, he once said:

“There is one key ingredient my wife has helped me to recognize over the years, and that is the importance of articulating love for one another on a daily basis.”

The couple shared a beautiful union for the time that they were together and when speaking about Poitier, Shimkus had only lovely things to say about her long-time partner. Gushing about him, Shimkus lovingly said:

“He is the most wonderful, generous, kind, honest man with the most integrity I’ve ever known in my life.”

She also recalled their wedding day, where their daughters were flower girls, and said that being in an interracial relationship with Poitier was never an issue for them because she thought: “[They] were just destined to be together.”

About Sidney Poitier

Meanwhile, Poitier, born February 20, 1927, was an actor, director, and producer. Aside from being the first African American to win an Oscar, he is also considered the first Black movie star.

He was born prematurely in the US while his parents were on vacation from the Bahamas. He grew up on Cat Island, Bahamas, and returned to the US as a teenager to enlist in the army during World War II.

Venturing into Acting

After a brief stint in a medical unit, he applied to the American Negro Theatre in New York. He did not make the cut due to his accent, so he worked on his enunciation and went back six months later.

At the time, he was accepted, which began a long and fruitful career as an actor. Decades later, in 1972, he ventured into directing with “Buck and the Preacher.”

A Hollywood Legend

Poitier would direct many more films, such as the hit comedy “Uptown Saturday Night.” After directing, he then went back to acting.

By 2001, he was presented an honorary Academy Award for his work in the entertainment industry. He also had a stint as the ambassador to Japan for The Bahamas from 1997 to 2007.

Being Rewarded for His Work

In 2009, he was awarded the US Presidential Medal of Freedom, and his life has been immortalized in several books like “This Life,” “The Measure of a Man: A Spiritual Autobiography,” and “Life Beyond Measure: Letters to My Great-Granddaughter.”

By the end of his life, Poitier spent most of his time with his family. He would often reunite with his large brood, including his wife, ex-wife, and 27 of his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and godchildren.

Poitier died at the age of 94 on January 6, 2022, at his home in Beverly Hills, California. He left behind his daughters and his wife. He was very proud of his daughters and said that they were his greatest achievement.

He said he invested in the planet by bringing six children into the world and said that he busted with pride that he gets to call his daughters his own. He was also proud of his wife, who celebrated her 79th birthday on October 30, 2022.

Stepping into the spotlight with style, Robert Irwin wowed the crowd at a recent fashion event. This bold venture into the fashion world reveals a new side of the wildlife conservationist, proving his talents extend far beyond the animal kingdom.

Taking to the fashion stage with an exuberance reminiscent of his iconic late father’s passion for wildlife, Robert Irwin, 20, made his runway debut at the Melbourne Fashion Festival. The event was a whirlwind of style and grace as the conservationist and TV personality walked the runway dressed in an array of sophisticated outfits.

His selections included a sleek black dress shirt with a matching tie and pants, a crisp white turtleneck under a striking blue suede suit, and a refined black and white suit. Some of his looks were also accessorized with smart cardigans and retro glasses.

Another one of his posts featured an Instagram video that showcased his vibrant runway walk, radiant smile, and behind-the-scenes moments with fellow models and event organizers. “What a wild experience! Melbourne Fashion Festival was incredible!” he exclaimed, reflecting his gratitude and excitement for the opportunity.

Fans wasted no time in flooding the handsome young man’s comment section with praise. A focal point among the flurry of messages was Robert’s striking resemblance to Steve Irwin.

Admirers expressed their awe with comments such as, “Looking just like your amazing father Rob! You rocked it!!🔥,” and“Never in my lifetime did I think I’d see Steve Irwin (they are essentially twins) walk the runway and I’m here for it.” Other notable remarks included, “Awesome!👏You’re a spitting image of your dad!” and “Most models have a stern face when walking, but I’m so glad you smiled.

More than just inheriting his father’s strong genetics, Robert has also continued to carry the torch of Steve’s incredible legacy. In a 2022 interview, the blonde-haired 20-year-old shared his perspective on the importance of his dad’s work.

He spoke about his desire to keep Steve’s ethos of kindness, environmental conservation, and making the most of life alive, which he said his father “exemplified.” He went further to divulge, “We have to create as much positive change as we can for our environment and for our fellow humans as well […] I’ll always just feel so lucky that I had the most amazing dad in the world, who was literally a superhero.”

Apart from his conservation work and in addition to fashion and modeling, Robert has also explored other career avenues and passion project pursuits. He is set to star as the co-host of the tenth season of “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!” alongside Julia Morris.

Of this opportunity, which he described as a “real honor,” Robert Irwin explained how it provides a platform for him to not only continue honoring his father’s legacy but also to forge his own path in both wildlife conservation and entertainment. Additionally, Robert’s humanitarian efforts were also recognized with The GQ Man of The Year, Social Force award, which he won last year, affirming his impact beyond the realm of conservation.

His runway debut—marked by style and striking looks reminiscent of his father, Steve—has only added another layer to his already impressive career.

At a prestigious music gala, Katy Perry’s bold ensemble fueled public speculation about her possibly expecting a new baby. People were riddled with questions and theories upon seeing social media posts and footage of the chart-topping artist.

Celebrated pop icon Katy Perry recently set the internet ablaze with her appearance at the Billboard Women in Music event. Donning a striking red two-piece ensemble that mirrored the allure of a mermaid, the 39-year-old found herself at the epicenter of widespread pregnancy rumors.

For her look, Katy opted for a daring blend of a strapless corset and a figure-hugging red skirt accented with silver fabric and criss-cross detailing that left her underwear and a bit of her backside exposed. She paired her ensemble with pearl earrings and a pearl necklace, red lipstick, towering black heels, and fashioned her black locks into a sleek long ponytail and fringe.

The “Dark Horse” artist sparked a frenzy among onlookers who believe Katy could be pregnant with her second child with her fiancé Orlando Bloom. Social media platforms were flooded with comments and conjectures.

“She is definitely pregnant,” one person declared confidently, while another pondered“Is this [a] reveal announcement?” The curiosity didn’t stop there, with others hinting“Um, baby #2 coming soon…” and outright stating“Katy looks pregnant,” and “Is she pregnant [?] 🤰.”

While many focused on the possibility of a new addition to Katy and Orlando’s family, some voices expressed concern over her choice of attire, particularly in light of Katy’s role as a mother. “I love you Katy but this is too much as [a] mom; have some respect,” criticized someone. “I don’t care how hot my body is…I wouldn’t [wear] that dress, plus I’m a mom…I want some respect!” another echoed.

Despite the flurry of reactions to her outfit and the swirling pregnancy rumors, the couple has yet to confirm any news regarding expecting a second child.

As far as where the possibility of bringing a new life into the world stands, Katy Perry has previously discussed putting baby plans with Orlando Bloom on hold due to her Las Vegas residency. In a 2022 interview, she clarified, “I’m in Vegas, and I can’t do that show with anything in my belly, especially a human.”

Instead of focusing on how soon she may or may not have her next baby, the doting mom diverts her attention to her and Orlando’s beloved daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, who was already running, coloring, and letting her loved ones know that she loves them at age one.

In August 2020, as part of advancing the initiative to advocate for healthcare for expecting mothers and newborns globally, Katy and Orlando—both UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors—teamed up with UNICEF to announce Daisy’s birth.

UNICEF shared an endearing image of the couple holding their newborn’s hand and accompanied the post with a message conveying the couple’s happiness and their commitment to helping others. A part of the caption stated, “We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter […] But we know we’re the lucky ones and not everyone can have a birthing experience as peaceful as ours was.”

Since Daisy’s birth, Katy has openly shared the transformative experience of motherhood, often emphasizing the new perspective it has brought her. In an interview she did two years ago, Katy gushed over Daisy, saying she’s a good combination of both her and Orlando.

She also marveled at the joy of rediscovery she has experienced through Daisy. “It’s amazing to see everything new again through a toddler’s eyes,” Katy swooned.

Outside of her marveling over her daughter and her life as a mother, Katy has also spoken about her professional life. Interestingly, just last month, she hinted at an impending ordeal that is set to take place this year during an interview with Jimmy Kimmel.

While discussing her career at large and the fact that her time as a judge on “American Idol” will come to an end soon, Katy teased, “I have some things planned for this year […] It’s gonna be a very, very exciting year.”

Whether navigating the intricacies of motherhood and her career or flaunting a bold fashion choice, Katy remains a figure of fascination among fans and onlookers who watch her every move with keen interest and speculation.

As previously reported on November 6, 2023:

Katy Perry’s Little Blonde Girl Was Seen in Public for the First Time, and Fans Swooned over Her

Though the musician has shared a few words about her daughter, she and Bloom are typically private when it comes to exposing her to the public eye. However, little Daisy was seen for the very first time at her mom’s final Las Vegas residency show in November 2023.

Footage of Perry’s three-year-old watching her mom in the crowd, dressed in a cute red and white polka-dot dress and protective headphones, surfaced online. While on stage, Perry tells her daughter how much she loves her, calls her her best friend, and dedicates a song to her.

Upon seeing the blonde little girl in the video, Perry‘s fans could not stop gushing over how adorable Daisy is. One fan commented:

More people continued to compliment Daisy and called her beautiful. Another one of the “Roar” songstress’ supporters swooned:

“Wow, she’s so pretty and [the] cutest…”

Fans were absolutely delighted to see Perry’s daughter for the first time in public, and another fan even mentioned how beautiful it was to see the special bond between the doting mama and her baby.

Jennifer Lopez and her husband, Ben Affleck, are happily in love. The two exchanged vows on July 17, 2022, in Las Vegas. Affleck and Lopez were previously married and had kids with their former partners.

Lopez was married to Marc Anthony, and the couple have two kids, 15-year-old twins Maximilian and Emme. Affleck and his ex Jennifer Garner share three kids: Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, 11.

Lopez, Garner, and Affleck now have a blended family they love and cherish. The “Hustlers” actress said most of their kids are now teens who prefer their independence to hanging out with their parents all the time.

However, Lopez loves how she, Garner, and Affleck have beautifully blended their families. Lopez said at 15, her twins are now developing their individual personalities and challenging everything she does and says. The actress added that she now just rides the waves with her kids.

Lopez also opened up about having more kids after she had her twins.

As most new moms are after giving birth, Lopez wasn’t so happy with her body. So, she called celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson, who helped her get back in shape. Over the years, Anderson has taught the actress to embrace and love every version of her body.

The Possibility of an Affleck-Lopez Child

Affleck and Garner have three kids, but the actress revealed in 2012 that her then-husband wanted more kids. However, Garner said she wasn’t anticipating having more kids as she hadn’t realized how much more work was needed to raise three kids.

Lopez also opened up about having more kids after she had her twins. The actress was engaged to her ex, Alex Rodriguez, when she discussed possibly having more kids. Lopez said she wanted to have more kids, especially if that was God’s plan for her. She added that she would try and was open to the idea.

However, when Affleck and Lopez got together, a close source revealed that the two did not want any kids together. They noted that the couple is past the part in their lives where they want new children. The insider also said Garner, Affleck, and Lopez were trying to make their blended family work.

So far, the trio co-parent amicably and have embraced each other’s kids in their lives. The idea that Lopez and Affleck could have new kids would have made their fans happy, but the two are happy with their blended families and are enjoying their lives together.

Do you know how dark is your soul? There are both light and shadow aspects to our personality and this amalgamation is what makes us interesting, makes us unique; makes us what we are!

So, how dark is your soul? If you’re being honest with yourself, answering this seemingly impossible question would take you forever.

First, you’d have to think back on all of the good, bad, and ugly things you’ve ever done or thought about in your life. Then you’d have to estimate how you measure up overall, but regardless of that, your own personal bias would skew your estimate even further.

In the end, only something much less subjective and calculated overall could truly answer the question; how dark is your soul? Below we attempt to do just that and will tell you how dark is your soul according to your zodiac.

When it comes to our zodiac signs, we tend to focus mainly on all the happy, supportive, and positive aspects of it, while completely overlooking anything remotely dark or toxic.

Even so, it’s equally important to be conscious of the negative, more sinister side of your zodiac because it can show you an unparalleled, in-depth look at your true self. Here it will tell you how much darkness lurks within you, so scroll down, find your sign below, and see if it rings true!

Astrology says how dark is your soul!

How Dark Is Your Soul: Your Zodiac Reveals The Darkness In Your Soul

See, how zodiac signs reveal how dark is your soul!

1. Aries (March 21 – April 19):

Very little dark! You’re the opposite of a dark soul and not really a dark type, to begin with. However, if you were it wouldn’t be the pitch-black, terrifying kind of darkness that swallows everything that enters it. You’d be more of an adrenaline-boosting type of darkness, like a scary ride or something!

2. Taurus (April 20 – May 20):

You have a black soul with a little light. The thing is, nobody really knows this about you because you tend to drive away anyone who gets close enough to see it. Your dark soul shows in terms of the possessiveness you develop for those you open up to and care about. Yet, at the same time, all that jealousy and control prove too overwhelming for them and they end up leaving you.

3. Gemini (May 21 – June 20):

Your soul is dark gray. You’re not completely dark, but you can be if it ever becomes necessary! A dark-gray hue soul basically means that you are able to walk the line between good and evil, positive and negative, high and low; you’re skilled at navigating life’s ups and downs. You can adjust to whatever dimension or soul color suits the situation and your needs the best!

4. Cancer (June 21 – July 22):

Your soul is an intensely dark shade of indigo blue. You are more of an emotion-driven sign and being sensitive and insecure, your darkness is best reflected by a blue so deep that it looks almost black. Your neediness and emotional dependency on your loved ones give your soul this dark hue.

5. Leo (July 23 – August 22):

Your soul is not much dark. When you’re as nice and tender as a Leo, there’s simply not much room for darkness to exist. Your possessiveness and need for attention get balanced by your generosity and compassion. Which is a good thing because you’re a natural-born leader and others are always following you around. You wouldn’t want to lead others over to the dark side, would you!?

6. Virgo (August 23 – September 22):

There’s not much time or room for darkness in your soul. You’re a mover and a shaker; you have no energy to spare or waste on being negative. If anything, you are just set in stone when it comes to doing things a specific way. You try hard to keep the negativity at bay through work and being of service to others.

7. Libra (September 23 – October 22):

Your soul is black and white. One minute you may be miserable and mired down in complete and total blackness, then the next second you’re smiling, feeling good, and radiating pure white light! It all depends on the moment, and your current mood, and that’s it. You’re whimsical and keep shifting between the two ends of the spectrum.

8. Scorpio (October 23 – November 21):

Your soul is mostly black. While you may appear intense, even kind of gray on the outside, there’re a lot of dark thoughts. You’re too focused on your own happiness and convenience and can crush any soul who tries to defy you or come between you and your goal. Your love and sensitivity toward your own needs make you a little darker than the other signs.

 

9. Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21):

Your soul isn’t much dark. You can be really shallow and superficial at times, and are constantly trying out the newest trends, so if being dark is one of them you’ll try it! Other than that, the darkness does not suit you well. You have a carefree child-like persona that is full of hope, joy, and positivity.

10. Capricorn (December 22 – January 19):

Your soul is dark but in a good way! You put off the dark energies of others that come towards you and so it works well to your advantage. You’re aware of your dark energy and use it to keep away those who do not have your best interest in their hearts. In fact, your darkness is protective. Your loved ones are shielded by your dark soul as you keep them from harm’s way too.

 

11. Aquarius (January 20 – February 18):

Your soul is not dark. You’re all about the little pleasantries that life has to offer and if anything, you go out of your way to avoid the dark side of it. Your quirky and offbeat ways also help to further reflect the darkness away from you and keep you in the light. You’re helpful, friendly, liberal, free-spirited, and open-minded. You’re mostly white!

12. Pisces (February 19 – March 20):

Your soul is a mix of darkness and light. It all depends on your mood, you may be feeling particularly dark one week and the next you’re the complete opposite. Just like the moodiness you’re known for, the slightest changes can have the biggest impact on your soul’s level of darkness.

Travis Kelce is believed to be heading to Singapore to support girlfriend Taylor Swift as she continues her Eras Tour.

The NFL star is on his way to Asia with his friends to spend time with the superstar and attend her concert, ET reported.

One of Kelce’s friends Harry Clark posted a video on his Instagram of the skyline as they landed in the city.

Swift has sold-out six nights at the 55,000-seat National Stadium in Singapore, with her final show taking place on Saturday.

She headed to Asia after performing in Australia last month, with Kelce joining her in Sydney during the tour.

The pair were spotted enjoying a date at the zoo before Travis watched his girlfriend perform in front of thousands of adoring fans at Sydney’s Accor Stadium.

The NFL star then flew back to Vegas, where he continued his Super Bowl celebrations with the likes of Patrick Mahomes while still on a high after Kansas City’s dramatic victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

And after a quick trip back to home-city Cleveland on Tuesday, where he and brother Jason watched their beloved Cavaliers beat the Boston Celtics, Kelce is now heading to Singapore to link up with Swift again.

Kelce will likely be in attendance for at least one of Swift’s shows when he completes the 9,500-mile trip from Cleveland to Singapore.

Meanwhile, Swift left fans concerned after appearing to nurse a cold during her first show in Singapore.

The American pop superstar was seen coughing as she performed during the Singapore leg of her Eras Tour at National Stadium.

The clip showed Swift cough and then clear her throat while she was performing her song Delicate.

Fans were quick to chime in in the comments, including American rapper Lil Uzi Vert, who wrote, ‘Hope she’s okay for real’.

‘I was there and so worried about Taylor,’ one Swiftie commented while another said, ‘Oooh no she needs some rest‘.

‘You can hear a raspy tone in her voice, she also seems more calm and reserved in her movements. The show must go on… a queen,’ said another.

‘I hope she’s okay. Take some rest Taylor as soon as possible. We love you! Stay safe and well,’ someone else wrote.

Rupert Murdoch, aged 92, has announced he is engaged to retired scientist Elena Zhukova, 67, after meeting her through his third wife Wendi Deng.

The Fox patriarch started dating Zhukova over the summer after his previous engagement to former police chaplain and vineyard owner Ann Lesley Smith was called off just two weeks after it was announced.

DailyMail.com revealed the couple started dating in August when the two were spotted cruising the Mediterranean on a family summer holiday.

She is the mother of Dasha Zhukova, a Russian socialite who is famous for her marriage to Russian oligarch and former Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovich.

Dasha and Murdoch’s third wife Wendi Deng are great friends in New York and it seems that this is the connection. ‘They met through Wendi and Dasha’, said a source.

Invitations for the wedding have been sent out and the event is to be held in June at Murdoch’s California estate, Moraga, reported The New York Times.

Zhukova is a twice-divorced molecular biologist and specialist in diabetes. She has lived in America for over three decades after leaving Russia in 1991 with her daughter.

Before retiring she worked at the medical research unit in UCLA. Sources said she spends a lot of time with her grandchildren by Dasha and Roman.

Dasha, 42, divorced Abramovich in 2019 and her settlement included a four-story house in Manhattan. She is now married to Stavros Niarchos, the billionaire heir to the shipping dynasty.

Murdoch, who has been married four other times and has six children, announced that he was stepping down as chairman of Fox and News Corp in September.

His eldest son, Lachlan Murdoch, took over as chair of News Corp and continued as executive chair and CEO of Fox News parent Fox Corp.

The media tycoon was previously got engaged to Smith in March 2023, just six months after the pair first met – and less than a year after his divorce from fourth wife Jerry Hall was finalized.

‘I was very nervous. I dreaded falling in love — but I knew this would be my last. It better be. I’m happy,’ he told The New York Post at the time of his previous engagement.

He has six children from his previous marriages: daughter Prudence MacLeod, now 66, with his first wife Patricia Booker, daughter Elisabeth, now 55, and sons Lachlan, now 52, and James, now 51, with his second wife Anna Mann, and daughter Grace, now 23, and Chloe, now 21, who he shares with his third wife Wendi Deng.

Murdoch and his fourth wife, former supermodel Hall, did not have any children together during their six-year marriage.

The pair tied the knot in London in March 2016 in a very low-key ceremony at Spencer House, which overlooks Green Park, after a whirlwind five-month romance.

Murdoch married his first wife, former flight attendant Patricia, in 1956, however the pair split in 1967, nine years after the birth of their only child, Prudence.

That same year, he tied the knot with his second wife, Anna, a Glasgow-born journalist to whom he was married for 32 years, before their divorce in 1999.

As part of their divorce settlement, Anna was awarded $1.7 billion, including $10 million in cash, according to CNBC.

Murdoch went on to marry Wendi just 17 days after he divorced second wife Anna. At the time of their wedding Murdoch was 68, while Wendi was just 30 years old.

That marriage lasted 14 years, before it was announced that the pair were divorcing, with a News Corp spokesperson revealing in June 2013 that their union had been ‘irretrievably broken for more than six months.’

Meri Brown, a central figure in the polygamous family featured in the reality TV show “Sister Wives,” has shared a heart-wrenching post on Instagram, mourning the loss of Robert Garrison Brown, the son of Kody Brown and Janelle Brown.

In a touching tribute, Meri Brown posted a photo of Robert Garrison Brown during his time in the National Guard, accompanied by a poignant caption: “Our family is deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy, Robert Garrison Brown. He was a bright spot in the lives of all who knew him.” She added, “Garrison, you are loved and will be missed! 💙💙”

The family asked for privacy as they mourn the loss of one of their beloved children. This tragic news has deeply affected the Brown family, who are the stars of the TLC show “Sister Wives,” which follows the lives of a polygamist family. In January of the last year, Meri Brown spoke candidly about her relationship with Kody, addressing misconceptions and stating her stance with remarkable clarity and strength:

She shared that a month before her post, a publication had reported that she and Kody and confirmed the end of their relationship. However, the report was inaccurate. She shared, “The information, content, and timing was inaccurate and was based on a highly edited version of events that had been filmed months prior. In the months since the taping of those interviews, Kody and I have had many open and honest discussions that have led to our announcement today.”

Meri shared that there was still much of her truth that she needed to share, and that she would in due time, but at the moment of posting she was at peace and held no ill feelings toward Kody. She affirmed, “I am not, and pray that I never will be, in a place where I will enjoy making, or seeing you make, rude and demeaning comments about him. You likely will have a range of emotions and opinions at this news and want to offer comments. In doing so, please be considerate of the fact that we are real people, with real lives, and real emotions.”

She also asked that her fans refrain from congratulating her on the dissolution of her marriage as she valued the relationship she and Kody had shared for years and wanted to step into the new chapter of her life with power, kindness, and grace. She asked that her fans do so with her.

Furthermore, a significant revelation came from a clip of the show aired in October last year, where Robert shared his achievements and the estrangement from his father, Kody, with his siblings. Robert disclosed that since he had last spoken to his father, he had bought a house, gotten into school, and bought the car he longed for which his father told him not to purchase.

He added that Kody didn’t know of these milestones because “he [didn’t] care to.” In contrast, Kody mentioned he had reached out to both Robert and his brother, Gabriel, but was met with disinterest in engaging with him. He shared that both of his sons and had blocked him out of their lives.

As previously reported on March 6:

In an unexpected and heartbreaking turn of events, the world of reality TV mourns the loss of Garrison Brown, the 25-year-old son of “Sister Wives” stars Kody and Janelle Brown. Garrison’s untimely death has sparked a wave of controversy and blame directed towards his father, with many fans and followers expressing their grievances and pointing fingers at him for his son’s demise.

Garrison—one of the six children Kody shares with Janelle, including Logan, Maddie, Hunter, Gabriel, and Savanah Brown—was remembered by fans as someone who deeply yearned for his father’s attention and love. This sentiment was echoed in the comments section of an Instagram post that Kody made last year about his divorce from one of his wives, Meri Brown.

People left messages like, “You could have prevented this…” and “He JUST needed LOVE from a father. RIP Garrison 🙏🏻.” Others accused Kody of neglect, stating“He probably did it to finally get your attention!!!! I was literally horrified when I saw him on TV begging for you to phone him and you continued to ignore him and blame him 💔💔💔💔,” and “Hope you feel the weight of this!!!! The guilt you will have!”

The collective outcry from the public underlines a deep-seated belief that Kody’s actions, or lack thereof, significantly contributed to Garrison’s tragic end.

The root of this blame seems to stem from a history of perceived neglect and favoritism within the Brown family. Last year, Garrison’s mother recalled her children’s feelings of inequality in their relationship with Kody and mentioned how they felt sidelined by him as he appeared to favor other members of their polygamous family.

“They felt like he was choosing one family over another,” Janelle shared, shedding light on the deep-seated issues within their family dynamic.

In a TLC video published in October last year, where the Brown family was discussing Kody’s relationships with his children, she further explained, “I can observe that Kody seems to have trouble relating to his older children, and he seems to dote on the younger children, and when my children were younger,[…] his guidance mattered to them […] Now, because they question it a little bit, I think it might be harder for Kody to feel like he’s respected.”

This narrative was further highlighted when the same video showed a clip of Garrison Brown discussing his life achievements, like buying a home and car, all of which Kody seemed unaware of or uninterested in. In response to these portrayals, Kody claimed he had reached out to his sons on two occasions, and expressed his belief that Garrison and his brother Gabriel were not interested in engaging with him.

The Brown family patriarch also previously spoke about feeling “powerless” as a father figure and admitted that his family had begun to “unravel” due to their inability to work through differences and varying perspectives.

As the Brown family navigates through this difficult time, the dialogue surrounding Garrison’s death raises important questions about the responsibilities of parenthood, the challenges of growing up in a divided household, and the impact of reality TV and fame on personal relationships. The young adult’s passing has left a void in the hearts of many, including his family, friends, and fans around the world.

Robert Garrison Brown, known affectionately to the public as one of the bright young faces on the hit TLC series “Sister Wives,” has died, leaving a community in mourning and a family grappling with an unimaginable void.

The Flagstaff Police Department, responding to a distressing call on the morning of March 5, 2024, arrived at Robert’s residence to a tragic scene. The 25-year-old, who had established his independence with his own home after moving away from his family, was found deceased.

Lieutenant Charles M. Hernandez II of the Flagstaff Police Department disclosed that Robert’s younger brother, Gabriel, age 22, made the heart-wrenching discovery. The preliminary investigation suggests a self-inflicted gunshot wound, with no indication of foul play. As the Flagstaff PD continues their meticulous investigation, the absence of any apparent foul play leads them to approach this as an apparent suicide.-

Robert’s journey on “Sister Wives” commenced in 2010, at the inception of the series. Viewers were introduced to the polygamous family, with Robert’s father, Kody Brown, at the helm, married to multiple wives, including Robert’s mother, Janelle Brown. The show not only captured the dynamics of Kody’s relationships but also highlighted the upbringing and lives of the Brown children, with Robert becoming a familiar, endearing fixture.

The recent years saw changes in the Brown family dynamic, including the divorce of Janelle and Kody in the previous year. Despite the changes, the children’s bond throughout the adversity remained resolute. The children often posted one another on social media, with Robert being no exception.

Robert’s passage into adulthood was marked by a commendable interest in serving his country. Initially aspiring to join the Army, Robert found his calling with the National Guard, a commitment that spoke volumes of his character and his desire to contribute to something greater than himself.

TLC, home to the series that chronicled Robert’s upbringing and his family’s unique lifestyle, released a statement expressing their devastation at the news of Robert’s passing. The network extended their deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences to the Brown family during this extraordinarily painful time.

Janelle shared poignant photos of her son on Instagram during his time of service, her words painting a portrait of a mother’s love and a tribute to a life cut tragically short. “Kody and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown,” her caption read. “He was a bright spot in the lives of all who knew him. His loss will leave such a big hole in our lives that it takes our breath away. We ask that you please respect our privacy and join us in honoring his memory.”

In a solemn acknowledgment of their bereavement, Robert’s family chose his own Instagram platform to communicate the news. A statement read, “Our beloved brother/son Robert (aka Garrison) passed late last night. We appreciate the love and support from all those who have given it.” It concluded with a plea for privacy during their time of profound grief.
