Raven-Symoné reveals ex-boyfriend cheated and asked her to be godmother to his love child
The That's So Raven star, now 39, shared that her former boyfriend not only cheated on her by getting another woman pregnant during their relationship but also made a surprising request. She recalled the moment, saying, 'We were together for a really long time, and he got another girl pregnant.' She then added with a mix of disbelief and humor, 'The best part of the story is that I was asked to be the child's godmother.'
While she didn't name the ex, Raven emphasized there is no lingering resentment. 'There's nothing but love and respect for all that he's gone through, and his family,' she said. 'He still talks about it all the time… dumba**,' she added, laughing.
Since 2020, Raven has been married to Miranda Pearman-Maday, her first public relationship with a woman. On Instagram, she once described their bond as deep and supportive: 'Got married to a woman who understands me from trigger to joy, from breakfast to midnight snack, from stage to home.'
Her wife has also been a major influence on Raven's well-being. Speaking to E! News in 2021, the actress shared that Miranda helped her shed 30 pounds. 'She doesn't want to take me to an early grave, and I want to make sure I am there for her in the best health possible.'
Raven's ability to reflect on such experiences with humor and growth highlights the evolution of her personal journey.

Chaos mars grand musical concert in Hyderabad
Amid disarray and mayhem, the grand musical concert organised by the Sindh government to mark Independence Day and Marka-e-Haq went off late Friday night in Hyderabad. Tens of thousands of citizens had thronged Rani Bagh, the city's largest yet underdeveloped recreational venue, hoping to enjoy captivating performances by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Sanam Marvi, and other renowned artists. Distant parking areas forced many to walk over a kilometre to reach the venue, yet spirits remained high - until rowdy crowds breached the enclosures designated for families. The bamboo fences separating these zones were broken down by groups of young men, resulting in altercations and incidents of harassment, including attacks on media workers. "We came here expecting a splendiferous night of music and enjoyment, but what we encountered was a wild crowd poised to misbehave with women," said Irfan Kazi, a resident of Qasimabad. He described how the mob, allegedly allowed free entry, tried to force their way toward the stage, shoving aside those already there. "It is one of the worst events," a young woman complained. "Women are being insulted, and their dupattas and scarves are being pulled down." The event was organised by the Sindh Government in collaboration with the Arts Council of Pakistan, Karachi. In the lead-up to the concert, officials from the district administration, the police, Mayor Kashir Ali Shoro, and the council's president Muhammad Ahmed Shah made multiple visits to inspect the arrangements. Police later stated that crowd management inside the venue had been delegated to council-appointed volunteers. However, many attendees expressed dismay, expecting police to maintain control during such a large public event. The Hyderabad concert was one of three such events organised by the provincial government in collaboration with the Arts Council, with others held in Sukkur and Karachi. By the time Rahat Fateh Ali Khan took the stage around 11pm, many families had already begun leaving the venue in frustration and concern. The event reportedly cost the government around Rs50 million. Despite the chaos, Senior Sindh Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon issued a statement on Saturday congratulating the organisers on a "successful" event. Speaking at the concert, Sindh Culture Minister Syed Zulfiqar Ali Shah congratulated the nation on its 78th Independence Day and thanked the council and its president for making the event possible. Sindh Minister for Irrigation Jam Khan Shoro, an MPA from Hyderabad, also addressed the crowd.

Howard Stern future at SiriusXM uncertain as Jason Whitlock and Donald Trump criticize shock jock's direction
As Howard Stern's future at SiriusXM remains in doubt, controversial sports commentator Jason Whitlock has launched a scathing critique of the radio icon. During a recent episode of his show, Fearless with Jason Whitlock, the 58-year-old labeled Stern 'fraudulent and disappointing,' citing his political shift as a reason for his perceived decline. Stern, 71, has hosted The Howard Stern Show on SiriusXM since 2006. His current five-year, $500 million contract is reportedly set to expire at the end of the year. According to the Daily Mail, Stern is in 'very serious negotiations' with the satellite radio company, with insiders suggesting he may consider a shorter one- or two-year extension—if financial terms can be met. Whitlock, once a fan of Stern's politically incorrect approach, blamed the host's pivot to progressive politics for losing his authenticity. 'He was politically incorrect, a shock jock and the best at that,' Whitlock said. 'And then, this guy pivoted into this woke clown.' He argued that cultural changes driven by the return of Donald Trump made Stern's brand of broadcasting less viable. Former President Trump also commented on Stern's future this week. Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump told reporters: 'What happened, he got terminated? When he endorsed Hillary Clinton, he lost his audience.' Trump, who frequently appeared on Stern's show in the past, claimed Stern's downfall began after that 2016 endorsement. Insiders told Daily Mail that Stern's approximately 95-person staff recently learned of his indecision. While he may step away from daily broadcasting, he is reportedly considering selling his show's catalog for replay on SiriusXM's Howard 100 and 101 channels or returning for specials. With no official comment from Stern, SiriusXM, or Andy Cohen—whom Stern is said to believe is being favored—the fate of the 'King of All Media' remains up in the air.
