Stacy Keibler Turns Heads With 'Boat Day' Swimsuit Photos
Stacy Keibler Turns Heads With 'Boat Day' Swimsuit Photos originally appeared on The Spun. Former WWE star Stacy Keibler is living it up this summer. Keibler, 45, was a fan favorite during her time with the WWE. It didn't matter if she was the "Duchess of Dudleyville" or Vince McMahon's personal assistant, she knew how to grab everyone's attention. In 2023, she was officially inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. "I never thought I would be in the Hall of Fame, to be honest," Keibler said. "I was completely shocked when I got the call. I had tears in my eyes." Although the days of Keibler representing the WWE are long gone, she's still incredibly popular in the wrestling community. Over the past few days, Keibler has shared countless vacation photos from Saint-Tropez. "It was our first time staying Château de la Messardière... and I'm completely enchanted," Keibler wrote on Instagram. "From the views to the service to every magical moment with my family—this place is something out of a dream. Hands down, one of my favorite hotels in the world. Family memories were made here that we'll never forget." Keibler showed off her figure with a few swimsuit photos this week. It was part of her family's "Boat Day" festivities. If you're familiar with Keibler's social media content, you'd know that she likes to travel. In April, she opened up about a life-changing experience in Peru. "Have you ever hugged a tree? Like really hugged one? Years ago, if you told me I'd be the kind of person who hugs trees and means it—I would've laughed. But somewhere along the way, something shifted," Keibler wrote. "On a trip to Peru, I connected with Pachamama—Mother Earth—in a way I never had before. I've always loved nature, but this was different. It was a felt connection. Deep, grounding, alive.Being in Costa Rica for Earth Day was a vivid reminder of nature's awe-inspiring beauty. Today (and every day), I'm grateful for this wild, generous planet we call home. Happy Earth Day. Go hug a tree... I promise it won't judge you."

Why Friday, June 13, 2025 is so special
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — Every Friday the 13th comes with its own list of crazy facts and figures. Some people think it is an unlucky day. Others associate it with the popular horror movie franchise. No matter what you think of the day, Friday, June 13, 2025, is special for another reason: it is the only Friday the 13th this year. Most years have at least 2 Friday the 13ths. A year that has only one happens once every 400 years or so. That is due to the Gregorian calendar, which has a repeating cycle of 400 years. Over that period of time, there are 171 years with exactly one Friday the 13th, 170 years with two and 59 years with three. Another fun Gregorian calendar/Friday the 13th fact: although there is always at least one Friday the 13th per calendar year, it can be as long as 14 months between two Friday the 13ths. And if you're wondering why Friday the 13 is known as an unlucky day, it traces back to Scandinavian gods. An old tale says the god of mischief disrupted a dinner party of 12 other god. Of course, there are those pesky movies too. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
