Princess Sofia Reveals Daughter's Name for the First Time (& There's a Special Meaning)
Princess Sofia and Prince Carl Philip of Sweden have finally got a little girl to dote on, and are ready to introduce her to the world.
After welcoming their princess into the royal family fold on Feb 7, it was King Carl XVI Gustaf who revealed her name for the first time, choosing his appearance at the Council of State at the Royal Palace for the big news. Her name? Princess Ines Marie Lilian Silvia, which pays homage to her grandmothers on both sides—Carl Philip's mother, Queen Silvia, and Sofia's mother, Marie. Princess Ines Marie joins her brothers, Prince Alexander, 8, Prince Gabriel, 7, and Prince Julian, 3, making the family a party of six.
The announcement of baby number four was made in September via their official Instagram account, alongside an oceanside selfie and caption that read, 'Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia have the great pleasure to announce that the Princess is expecting the couple's fourth child. Princess Sofia is doing well and the offspring is estimated to be February 2025. During the fall, no changes are expected to Princess Sofia's official program.'
It was also announced during that time period that Princess Ines Marie will not receive the official HRH title ("His Royal Highness"), due to King Carl XVI Gustaf's decision to streamline the Swedish royal family in 2019.
A few months afterwards, Princess Sofia sat down with Vogue Scandinavia for an interview that celebrated her 40th birthday and discussed her pregnancy, telling the publication, 'I always, always, always dreamt of a family. It's one of my biggest goals in life. Not everyone has that – I had that. Both me and my husband come from a family of five – with three kids – so we thought that that would be a good number, and we felt quite satisfied with that. But, gratefully, there's a bonus on the way. We feel very humble and grateful. It was maybe not in the plan, but now we are very, very excited. Especially the kids.'
Congratulations to the happy couple!

Sydney Sweeney Gained 30 Pounds for 'Crazy' Christy Martin Biopic Transformation
Sydney Sweeney is revealing the details of her 'crazy' body transformation to play professional boxer Christy Martin. During a Monday profile with W Magazine, the Euphoria actress opened up about the rigorous training schedule she endured to portray the boxer. Sweeney went through three and a half months of training, which resulted in her gaining over 30 pounds for the role. More from The Hollywood Reporter Kansas City Chiefs' Foolish Club Studios Sets Executive Team (Exclusive) Whoopi Goldberg Co-Founded All Women's Sports Network, Pluto TV Launch FAST Channel Coco Gauff vs. Aryna Sabalenka: How to Stream the French Open Women's Final Online for Free 'I came onboard to play Christy, and I had about three and a half months of training,' she said. 'I started eating. I weight-trained in the morning for an hour, kickboxed midday for about two hours, and then weight-trained again at night for an hour.' Sweeney admitted that 'my body was completely different' because of all the training, which led to her not being able to 'fit in any of my clothes.' 'I'm usually a size 23 in jeans, and I was wearing a size 27,' Sweeney recounted. 'My boobs got bigger. And my butt got huge. It was crazy! I was like, 'Oh my God.'' Still, the Emmy nominee didn't mind the shift in physical appearance. 'It was amazing: I was so strong, like crazy strong,' she added. Sweeney confirmed she was starring in the forthcoming Martin biopic in October of last year 'thanks to some paps in bushes,' she wrote on Instagram at the time. When announcing the news, she shared a photo of herself as Martin, sporting brown curly hair and toned arms. Martin is regarded as one of the most prolific female boxers of all time, beginning her career in 1989 before she retired in 2012. She won the WBC female super welterweight world champion title in 2009 and is the only female boxer to cover Sports Illustrated. Martin nearly died in 2010 when her husband, Jim Martin, stabbed her and shot her in the chest. After surviving the murder attempt, Jim was sentenced to 25 years in prison. 'Over the past few months, I've been immersed in training to bring to life the story of an incredible woman — a true champion who fought battles both inside and outside the ring,' Sweeney wrote. 'Her journey is a testament to resilience, strength, and hope, and I'm honored to step into her shoes to share her powerful story with you all. More to come soon.'

Bryson DeChambeau returns to defend U.S. Open title as golf's YouTube king
OAKMONT, Pa. — Bryson DeChambeau returns to the 2025 U.S. Open as the defending champion and golf's YouTube king, at least among the pro ranks. From his 2 million YouTube fans watching him try to "Break 50" with the likes of Donald Trump, various influencers and athletes to joining Johnson Wagner as he tried to reproduce his remarkable bunker shot at 18 at Pinehurst No. 2 during Golf Channel's "Live From," people love DeChambeau's content creation. The latest example was on display at Oakmont, site of this week's 125th U.S. Open, when DeChambeau showed up for a practice round on May 31 and filmed every shot. It was riveting stuff that no other player had done before. 'He's done a heck of a job using social media channels to connect with viewers, connect with golfers, and show his true personality because I think he probably didn't do a great job of that early on in his career,' NBC's Kevin Kisner said. ESPN's Scott Van Pelt took his analysis of DeChambeau's reboot as a YouTube star – he's got nearly 3 million Instagram followers and another 2 million on TikTok, too – one step further. 'I think he's now kind of figured out where he wants to be. He's almost reinvented himself in some ways,' he said. 'He's grown as a human, it seems to me. Last year he came and sat down in the Butler Cabin with me on Thursday and Friday, and he's been sort of this — he's played very different characters in a movie. It's almost like he's been many different versions of himself. 'And when he sat and visited with me last year, I just remarked to a number of people, he just seems like a different guy. He seems more at ease with himself. I don't know if it's the tour he plays, I don't know if it's just part of growing up, which is part of all of our lives, but he seemed comfortable, entirely comfortable with himself.' DeChambeau, 31, finally is becoming comfortable in his own skin, and YouTube has helped him let his guard down, he said, 'showing the fans a side of me that was locked up for so long.' 'What's funny is as much as my guard has been let down, I feel like I'm more strategic in how I deliver things and how I give perspective on things. Before, I was pretty up front and would just say things the way I wanted to whenever I wanted to,' he explained. 'Now it's more strategic in the way I do it and deliver it because I think there's a lot of good that can come from that.' DeChambeau has said he's taken a page out of the playbook of MrBeast, whose viral content are the most-watched videos on YouTube. Asked whether any of his peers have turned to him for advice on how to launch a YouTube channel, DeChambeau highlighted Phil Mickelson. Lefty said he'd always seen what he called the playful, fun, intelligent and interesting side of DeChambeau. 'He's able to showcase that and not have who he is be filtered by a middle person,' Mickelson said. 'He controls what content he puts out there and what he wants to shoot and so forth. So his personality comes out. It's been remarkable to see the evolution of it and the way the public has responded to him because he's always been like that. It just hasn't been able to be noticed, I guess, properly.' In discussing the tips he has passed along to Mickelson, DeChambeau said he reads the comments section and tries to give the people what they want. 'We've grown our channel to over 2 million followers now and couldn't be more thankful, and it's literally by listening to the comments section, by looking at the comments and seeing what they want,' he said. Major champion. Long driver. YouTube star. A case could be made that the latter has become what drives DeChambeau. 'It's a new space. I'm learning how to become a little bit more entertaining,' he said. 'It's not just golf, golf, golf, trying to win every really what gets me up in the morning and gives me a lot of passion for this game."

The Detail That Started Rumors Taylor Swift Got Married
Well, the internet has put on its investigative hat once again. This time, some believe Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce secretly got married! It all started after wedding planner Ellie Nottoli (@elliestyled) posted an Instagram story this past Sunday. It showed behind-the-scenes details from NFL player Cole Kmet and Emily Jarosz's wedding. In a walkthrough of the wedding setup, @elliestyled pans over some decor on a table... And it includes a calligraphed envelope addressed to 'Taylor and Travis Kelce' at Table 13, which happens to be Taylor's favorite number. Although Taylor and Travis were not at this wedding, they were reportedly invited. (Taylor and Travis were in attendance at Travis' cousin's wedding instead.) Immediately, fans noticed Taylor's last name was not included on the envelope. So people jumped right to the idea that it must mean they secretly got married. And they went all in on this theory. Everything from the table being her favorite number... To her name being first. This chatter eventually led to a heated debate about how names are listed on wedding invitations, and if Taylor would ever change hers if she did get married. If you didn't know, whether it is for traditional or aesthetic purposes, some designers and wedding planners use only first names or the man's last name on invitations. (Meaning, it is not out of the norm for unmarried people to be addressed this way on an invite.) Some also pointed out that @elliestyled may simply be sharing an aesthetic vision that represented the wedding. So, we think it was just a decorative setup, and not a real indicator that Travis and Taylor are actually married. ...That being said, stranger things have happened!
