Caleb Williams spotted with Madelyn Cline after Bears QB's breakup rumors
Williams — who was at the center of breakup rumors with his high school sweetheart Alina Thyregod last month — and Cline were dancing in the same circle during Sexy Redd's set Saturday at SeatGeek Stadium in Bridgeview, as seen in a social media video.
The former first overall pick by Chicago in the 2024 NFL Draft and the 'Outer Banks' star, who appeared to be with a group of mutual friends, didn't display any PDA together in the video.

Last month, Williams made headlines after he attended the star-studded F1 Miami Grand Prix weekend without Thyregod, which stirred buzz that the couple had split.

Around that time, Williams was in the news for an excerpt in Seth Wickersham's new book, 'American Kings: A Biography of the Quarterback,' which claims his father, Carl Williams 'went to great lengths to try to circumvent' the [2024] NFL draft in order to give his son the freedom to choose where he wanted to begin his pro career.

Thyregod seemingly removed any trace of Williams from her social media.
Williams has yet to address the rumors about their relationship.
The former USC quarterback commemorated the couple's one-year anniversary last October — six months after their red carpet debut at the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit.

'Skibidi' and 'tradwife': social media words added to Cambridge dictionary
Words popularised by Gen Z and Gen Alpha including "skibidi", "delulu", and "tradwife" are among 6,000 new entries to the online edition of the Cambridge Dictionary over the last year, its publisher said Monday. Cambridge University Press said tradwife, a portmanteau of traditional wife, reflected "a growing, controversial Instagram and TikTok trend that embraces traditional gender roles". The dictionary also took on the challenge of defining skibidi, a word popularised in online memes, as a term which had "different meanings such as cool or bad, or can be used with no real meaning". The gibberish word was spread by a YouTube channel called "Skibidi Toilet" and is associated with the mindless, "brain rot" content found on social media and consumed by Gen Alpha's overwhelmingly digital lifestyle. The dictionary defined delulu, derived from the word delusional, as "believing things that are not real or true, usually because you choose to". As an example, it cited a 2025 speech in parliament where Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese used the phrase "delulu with no solulu". "It's not every day you get to see words like skibidi and delulu make their way into the Cambridge Dictionary," said Colin McIntosh, Lexical Programme manager at the Cambridge Dictionary. "We only add words where we think they'll have staying power. Internet culture is changing the English language and the effect is fascinating to observe and capture in the Dictionary." Other new phrases include "lewk", used to describe a unique fashion look and popularised by RuPaul's Drag Race, and "inspo", short for inspiration. Work from home culture has given rise to "mouse jiggler", referring to a way to pretend to work when you are not. There is also "forever chemical", man-made chemicals that stay in the environment for years and have gained traction as concerns grow about the irreversible impact of climate change on the health of humans and the plant. aks/jxb

Former Super Bowl champion doesn't expect Philadelphia Eagles 'hangover' in 2025
The Super Bowl is every NFL team's goal heading into a new season, and 2025 will be the same as 31 teams try to chase down the Philadelphia Eagles as the reigning league champions. The Eagles boasted one of the top defensive units in 2024, and while one former Philadelphia star that recently retired won't be competing this season he still has massive expectations for his old squad. Brandon Graham was a two-time Super Bowl winner with the Birds after spending his entire career with the franchise, and recently joined the Exciting Whites podcast with Reed Blankenship and Cooper DeJean to share his thoughts on Philadelphia's chances of a repeat. The reality is it's very tough for any NFL team to win back-to-back championships, and the Eagles actually just prevented the Kansas City Chiefs from securing a three-peat last season after their Super Bowl LIX title.
