Ed Sheeran's top parenting tip revolves around breakfast
During an appearance on Thursday's episode of the " Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce" podcast, the musician shared the best piece of fatherhood advice he's ever received.
"Always be the one that makes the breakfast in the morning," Sheeran told podcast host Kylie Kelce. "Always be the one that gets up first, and let your partner have a lie-in. Do the breakfast because that's the time of the day that your kids are the least angry, because they're rested."
The "Bad Habits" singer added that taking on breakfast duty is a triple win: he gets the morning chores done, gives his partner a well-earned break, and gets quality time with the kids when they're at their best.
"They want to help out as well. So, I'm handing them plates and they're putting the plates away, and I'm like, you're making my job easier," Sheeran said.
He added that he also enjoys taking on the "evening shift."
"Reading 40 different stories and having someone fall asleep on your shoulder is actually really lovely," Sheeran said.
Sheeran and his wife, Cherry Seaborn, welcomed their first daughter, Lyra, in 2020, and their second daughter, Jupiter, in 2022.
In a 2021 interview with BBC Radio 1, Sheeran said that becoming a dad led him to change his lifestyle habits. He started going into the studio from 9-to-5 instead of ending his recording sessions in the middle of the night.
"As soon as Cherry told me she was pregnant, life shifted, in terms of work and health and what I was putting into my body, be it food or alcohol," he said.
Like Sheeran, many other celebrities have also opened up about their own parenting tips.
Kate Hudson — who has — previously said that she isn't afraid to apologize to her children whenever she's in the wrong.
"And what you find in going to your kids and saying, 'I could have handled this better' or 'I made a mistake' or 'I'm sorry I didn't trust you' — whatever the scenario — is that connection becomes stronger," Hudson said.
During a June episode of her "IMO" podcast, Michelle Obama said that good parenting involves knowing that kids are "not your friends."
She added it's important for parents to set clear boundaries that they believe in and that they stick to "all the time," since kids are always testing how far they can push before adults cave.
A representative for Sheeran did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent by Business Insider outside regular hours.

If you want to fit in at a new elite private DC club, don't do this
It's not just Jack — all work and no play makes private club members dull, too. Ned's Club, a members-only space for DC's highest achievers, opened in January 2025, just steps from the White House. While club management doesn't demand that the elite members adhere to a strict set of rules, it's not OK to have the space lit up by the glow of laptop screens. Gareth Banner, group managing director at The Ned, told Business Insider that the DC club is "open-minded" about behavior and is a less stuffy, modernized take on the city's old-guard spots. Still, he said there's a basic set of behavioral expectations. "There's a degree of education that's required," Banner said. "It's not about being the headmaster and reading out the rule book, it's about politely explaining. It's more about etiquette than it is about rules." Members include politicians, celebrities, and private sector titans, all of whom shell out thousands to be let inside. A typical membership includes a $5,000 one-time joining fee and $5,000 annual fee, while an invite-only founding membership is $125,000 to join and $25,000 each year, as of July. New members go through onboarding and adhere to certain rules, like not taking pictures, Banner said. Everyone gets a small sticker to put over their phone cameras, which he said is more to remind guests of the rule than members. Occasionally, he said, the guest policy itself poses an issue, since some members might try to bring more visitors than they're allowed. Ned's Club doesn't have a dress code, which Banner said is a "conscious decision," but people are encouraged to dress well. The biggest mistake, he told BI, is misunderstanding what the club is for: having fun. "We don't want people to join this club because they see it as 50% social, 50% WeWork. We're not WeWork," Banner said. "If you turn up with a headset and a laptop and think you're going to camp out here for the day, it won't take long before someone taps on the shoulder and explains that that's not really how we do things." Some members will host occasional meetings in one of the four restaurants or answer a few emails in a designated space, but most people want to "let their hair down" and catch up with friends. And there's one move, Banner said, that definitely won't fly. "Certainly, if you take your phone out and start making a call in a restaurant, that's going to end pretty quickly," he said. Privacy is key and the motivation behind many of the rules, Banner said, since "the moment a members club doesn't feel private, you're no longer in business." The private club business is gaining popularity, and Ned's Club is itself a spin-off of Soho House. Its DC project has been in the works for five years, though it's not the only new addition to the city's collection of exclusive hangouts — a new, invite-only space for MAGA royalty opened earlier this year.

This Yeti bag is the hottest tote of the summer — and Wall Street's paying attention
Behold the bag that has a chokehold on mom TikTok: the Yeti Camino 35 Carryall Tote Bag. The waterproof tote bag, made by Texas-based outdoor recreation products company Yeti, has been all over MomTok. Parents are taking videos touting it as the sleekest, most durable bag for carrying their things while ferrying children from place to place. It costs between $150 and $170, per its product listing on Dick's Sporting Goods. The bag, boxy with heavy-duty handles, is huge — 18.1 inches in length, 9.8 inches in width, and 15.2 inches in height. Yeti's website said the bag's carry handles can manage up to 300 pounds of weight. A Friday analyst note from Jefferies on July 18 said the tote has gone viral, with search trends for "YETI Camino 35 Carryall Tote Bag" skyrocketing by 1,100% in the past month. Searches for "YETI bag" have increased by 200%, the note said. Representatives for Yeti did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider. Perfect bag for a day of bringing kids around Melissa Navarette, a California-based content creator and makeup artist, said she spotted the Yeti Camino 35 last year while scrolling on TikTok for the perfect mom bag. She told Business Insider she needed a bag to bring supplies from her family's house onto their boat for a ride around the lake. She now has two Yeti Camino 35s — one in bright pink and another in jet black. And she's customized them with bag charms, beaded chains, bows, and even a pink Labubu plushie. "The bag has collapsible pockets on the inside, perfect for all of us moms carrying our large Stanley cups around," she said. "I absolutely think it's worth the price." Angelica Torres, a Miami-based content creator and first-grade teacher, said she was already a Yeti fan. The company, founded in 2006 by brothers Roy and Ryan Seiders, is also known for its cooler bags, water bottles, and travel bags. "I bought it to use as my teacher bag for the upcoming school year. I needed something that could keep up with my daily routine, carry all my materials, and still look sleek," Torres said. Erin Gunther, a South Carolina-based content creator who heads a video production company, said she bought her Yeti bag in June while browsing Dick's Sporting Goods for an Owala water bottle. She bought it to carry her family's items to the beach, pool, and boat. She said, "I would seriously buy it 100 times over. It's so versatile, and I think it's going to look brand new for years." The content creators compared it to the Bogg Bag, another mom bag that's been popular on TikTok. The Bogg Bag, which retails on Dick's Sporting Goods' website for $90 before discounts, is a large, flexible plastic bag with holes in the sides. It looks like a bag version of Crocs. "The Yeti bag is much more comfortable to carry versus the Bogg Bag. It's also much cuter in my opinion," said Navarrete. Gunther, too, said she preferred the Yeti Camino's straps over the Bogg Bag's, saying the latter's straps were uncomfortable to carry. Torres said she used a mix of canvas totes and nylon bags for work before switching to the Yeti, and they wore out quickly. "The Camino is a major upgrade; it stands upright, doesn't collapse, and handles wear and tear much better," Torres said. The bag is on Jefferies analysts' radar Jefferies analysts said in a Friday note that the bag has gone viral, and it's boosting Yeti's growth. "Yeti's product innovation is gaining traction, with bags quickly becoming a key growth pillar for the company," Jefferies analysts said in the note, adding that they view the category as a "major contributor to future growth." Jefferies analysts mentioned the Yeti bag in a Monday note, saying its momentum boosted their confidence in Yeti Holdings' stock. "We'd be aggressive buyers at current levels," the note said. The company's stock price is up more than 28% in the past month but is flat compared to a year before.

Ozzy Osbourne's Final Business Ventures Include Selling His DNA
This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers. Become an Insider and start reading now. Shortly before he died, Ozzy Osbourne embarked on a business venture that could let fans "recycle him forever" — technology permitting. Osbourne died on Tuesday at the age of 76. Though he was known for his role as the lead singer of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath, Osbourne spent the months before his death launching a series of notable brand partnerships. The so-called "Prince of Darkness" teamed up with the company Liquid Death in June on a product called "Infinitely Recyclable Ozzy." He drank 10 cans of the brand's iced tea, leaving "trace DNA from his saliva" on the now-precious metal, according to the company. Osbourne also signed each package, which originally sold for $450 each. (A six-pack of the teas goes for $13.83 on Amazon). Liquid Death said in fine print that it couldn't guarantee "DNA integrity and cloning results." At the time of writing, the coveted cans were sold out on Liquid Death's website. One sold on eBay on July 22, the day of his death, for $4,655. Osbourne, who sometimes wore dark eyeliner, also dipped his toe in the makeup world in the weeks before his death. On July 1, the UK-based makeup brand Jolie Beauty announced it was partnering with the rock legend and launching a limited-edition collection. Customers could preorder the entire collection, which included brushes, lipsticks, and a makeup bag emblazoned with an Osbourne-esque skull, for $553. The CEO of the Birmingham-based company said in a video on Facebook that the opportunity was an "absolute honor," noting that Osbourne himself was from Birmingham, England. Representatives for Liquid Death and Jolie Beauty did not immediately respond to Business a request for comment from Business Insider. In the early 2000s, Osbourne starred in the MTV reality show "The Osbournes" alongside his wife and kids. His somewhat unconventional business partnerships weren't entirely new, either — in 2003, Chipotle created the Chipotle Celebrity Card for him, which grants unlimited Chipotle for one year. As of 2022, he was the only lifelong cardholder. Osbourne struggled with Parkinson's disease in the final years of his life, but joined Black Sabbath for a final concert earlier in July in Birmingham. His family said he died while "surrounded by love" in a statement.
