Normani and NFL player DK Metcalf are engaged
DeKaylin 'DK' Metcalf may have just been traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but there's one thing he already has not fumbled.
During a press conference Thursday, the wide receiver shared the news that he's engaged to singer Normani.
'Found a new home here, found a new fiancée and everything's just falling in line, just the way God planned for it to be,' he reportedly said.
The professional football player motioned to the singer and added, 'She right there. Hold that rock up baby.'
Metcalf explained that he had proposed while both of their families were recently together in Houston, Texas.
'They got me good!,' Normani can be heard sayng at the press conference.
The couple went public with their romance in 2023 after being introduced by singer Ciara, who is married to Metcalf's now former Seattle Seahawks teammate, Russell Wilson.
Ciara posted a TikTok after the news broke with a picture of Metcalf and Normani sharing the engagement news with her and Wilson. The song playing on the post is 'Love Lies' by Normani and Khalid.
'@Russell Wilson and I knew when we introed yall 3yrs ago ..love was truly in the air!.' Ciara wrote in the caption. 'Now yall gon be booed up for forever!! This was the best news! @DK Metcalf @Normani we love yall so much!'
Normani first came to fame after auditioning for 'The X Factor' in 2012 and joining the girl group 'Fifth Harmony,' whose members also included Ally Brooke, Dinah Jane, Lauren Jauregui, and Camila Cabello.
They became one of the best-selling girl groups of all time before Cabello left the group to pursue solo projects in 2016. Two years later, the other members announced they were going on hiatus.
Since then, Normani has found success with singles such as 'Motivation' and 'Wild Side' and competed on 'Dancing With the Stars.'

If You've Never Been A Dress Person, These 30 Options May Change Your Mind
A lantern sleeve mini I'm sure Belle would wear for a summertime jaunt to the library in 2025. A floral maxi dress can satisfy the Debbie Jellinsky part of your personal style. (Joan Cusack is such an icon in Addams Family Values). A floral mini dress if you've gotta look really cute, really fast after flying over The North Pole to get wherever you're vacationing. A long-sleeve boho dress to help you realize your easy-breezy spring style after you've been wrapped up in all sorts of cozy layers. A belted ruffled dress will help cut back on the math you have to do to figure out if a top will tuck neatly into a dress. This gives you that look for half the effort. A one-shouldered frock prime for that May wedding you've got on your schedule where you'll see a ton of old college buds and, therefore, will have a horde of pics from it after. A *pocketed* maxi will be super easy to wear, even if your plans for the day is to just roll around on the floor with the puppy. (Am I invited?) An easy, breezy patchwork mini dress to wear when you need to look cute but want the least amount of fabric possible touching your skin. A knee-length halter dress available in a range of colors and prints so you'll probably wanna snag a few for all kinds of seasonal photo ops. A floral midi built to impress — especially if a babydoll or nap dress shape isn't your thing. A drawstring bodycon dress with some major versatility — you can adjust the drawstring for the perfect length and look, then throw all kinds of outerwear over it as needed. (There are sooo many pregnant reviewers who love it!) A chic mini dress that reviewers say is lightweight and breathable, so it'll prob end up in the top of your rotation come late-sprint. A tiger-print dress passersby will assume you bought on a luxurious, tropical vacation. Go ahead. Let 'em assume. But then if they ask, be super helpful and point them to this Etsy shop chock full of dresses in glorious prints. A linen babydoll dress you can have custom-made to fit your measurements. Plus, that super cute low back will be the perfect excuse to go bra-less. Life is short. Bra bands are too tight. A halter-neck sundress in a maxi silhouette and a variety of patterns to help elevate your grand entrance — even if it's just popping in the store to buy some TP. A graphic maxi dress for a chic, dramatic statement. Pregnant *and* non-pregnant reviewers are raving about it! A wrap dress will let ya show lots of leg to the period piece beaus you're currently binge-watching. A cherry-picked frock in case you need yet another '90s-inspired thing in your closet. Yes, yes you do need it. Trust me, I bought it a few summers ago and have worn it at least a dozen times since. A midi corset dress that'll help scratch that cottagecore itch for the TikTok-famous House of CB Carmen dress. Except for nearly $200 less. A ladylike polka-dot number that tbh you could wear to brunch with your great-aunt and then out day-drinking with your roomies after. But it also has accommodating stretch, barely wrinkles, and will look so nice in any photos where you wanna look fab but don't wanna upstage your surroundings. A flowy boho style you'll get a ton of use out of in other seasons. It'll look equally amazing with cowboy boots or sandals. Cue to you in a piazza in Rome rocking this with your favorite accessory, a cone of gelato. A showstopping mesh dress you can use as a base for basically any special event's ensemble. Hello, Summer Goth. An airy nap dress I own and plan to wear as much as possible. It's super easy to adjust the puff sleeves from on- to off-the-shoulder to fit your mood. A tie-strap beaut in an ankle-grazing length for those moments when you've GOTTA stoop down and play with a puppy. This has you covered. A striped cap sleeve midi — it might be the next best (and comfiest) thing to wearing a night gown out and about. A floor-length gown will look soooo pretty whether you're wearing it as a bridesmaid in your friend's wedding or in impromptu photo shoot by your pal who just got a new camera. A casual striped option with some ruffled sleeves to make it feel a bit special but not super dressy. We're keeping it casual rn. A versatile tiered maxi dress to layer with your longer-sleeve tops so you can comfortably sit in your chilly office. A flared vintage-inspired dress you'll wanna buy after your next Hairspray is always a great idea. A pom-pom strap maxi for a stylish twist on the "nap dress" style we all rely on to keep us cool and chic when the sun starts to bake. Twirling in this is, in fact, mandatory, and lack of twirl is punishable by nap dress law.

Brian McKnight receives backlash for statement following estranged son's death
Brian McKnight addresses the narrative around his complex family dynamics and gives his side of the story. Brian McKnight has broken his silence following the death of his estranged son Niko McKnight, who died at 32 last week after a battle with cancer. However, the R&B singer's statement did not appear to hit the right note with fans. Tuesday evening, the 55-year-old singer took to Instagram to address his son's death and call out some of the narratives around his family dynamics being pushed by others online, in particular by his brother Claude McKnight, who was among the first to publicly announce Niko's death. 'A big big thanks to Claude McKnight's tasteless and self aggrandizing announcement on TikTok, that frankly was not his to make,' his lengthy post began both in the caption and as a voiceover in a video. 'In my opinion, he inserted himself and used Niko's death as an opportunity, instead of letting him pass with respect and dignity. It has instead turned into a circus, a mockery of a life now lost, making this tragedy into a reality show type drama.' After Niko died, McKnight said he and his family traveled to Maui to celebrate his life with a private memorial where they remembered 'all the good times' they shared. Then he recalled a not-so-rosy memory. 'The last time he and I spoke, we offered him all the help we could provide; we had the number one oncologist on deck for him and a team of specialists on standby with private care in our home. He and his mother declined,' McKnight claimed. 'The door of communication was open and remained open until his death.' The McKnight family's complex dynamics have been well known for years. In 2024, the singer made headlines when he referred to Niko and his siblings as 'products of sin' to justify distancing himself from his first four children upon remarrying. Niko, who was battling cancer at the time, pushed back against his father's statements on social media and highlighted past grievances and instances of hurt. His mother, McKnight's ex-wife, singer Julie McKnight, called the comments emotionally and mentally abusive. At the time, McKnight accused Julie of barring him from contributing to Niko's care, which she called a false narrative. Meanwhile, Niko posted on X that he just wanted to hear from his father during such a trying time. 'When I was about to die in the hospital from complications from my cancer, I just wanted to bury the hatchet and hear him say he loves me and he told me he couldn't arbitrarily tell me he loves me,' he posted. 'Still cuts so deep.' In his post on Tuesday, McKnight doubled down that he was denied the ability to help his son. 'To the self-proclaimed 'mama bear, ' may God have mercy on your soul for not allowing him to accept that help and not allowing him to use that line of communication,' he continued. 'There is great comfort in knowing God knows the TRUTH and the totality of the WHOLE story. I am truly thankful for the immense peace God has given me. I've left everything in HIS hands. I have a clear conscience. The only judgment that matters is God's.' Comments have been turned off on the post, though that hasn't stopped many from expressing their thoughts on the fraught statement. Many social media users have been calling out the statement for being more about McKnight than the actual tragedy, for putting down a mother mourning her son, and more. 'For everyone saying that we don't know the whole story, that's not the point,' wrote a user on Threads. 'The point is, his son just died of cancer, and he used this video to talk about himself and take shots at people – rather than expressing grief and celebrating his life. This video is literally about him, not Niko.' A user on X added, '…if you are speaking poorly on the mother of your child and blaming everyone else but yourself while your late son isn't even buried in the ground yet, I am wishing you the worst!' McKnight is a father of eight, including his biological and stepchildren. After sharing Brian Jr. and Niko with his ex-wife Julie, he also has a daughter, Briana McKnight, and another son, Clyde McKnight, from other past relationships. In 2017, he remarried to Dr. Leilani Malia Mendoza and has welcomed a son together in January 2023 named Brian Kainoa Makoa McKnight Jr. (The singer changed his legal name to match that of his most recent son.) The couple, unfortunately, experienced the loss of a child in infancy, and he is stepfather to Mendoza's two children from a previous relationship.

Kris Jenner Reacts To Kylie Jenner's Boob Job Comment
Kris Jenner commented after Kylie Jenner revealed the plastic surgeon behind her breast augmentation. Earlier this week, Kylie surprised many by responding to a TikTok and revealing the exact procedure and doctor (Garth Fisher) she had. Kylie has been open about having had at least one boob job when she was 19, which she has since expressed regret about. Perhaps the reveal of Garth is unsurprising, given that he refers to himself as "The Kardashian Family Plastic Surgeon" on his website (he also did Kourtney's breast augmentation). Indeed, the site reads, "The Kardashian family likes to work with Dr. Fisher for his caring attention and outstanding, red carpet ready results." However, Garth still took to Instagram to write, "I'm honored to be acknowledged by Kylie—her kind words were unexpected but truly appreciated. Patient confidentiality has always been the foundation of my practice. Over 3 decades, we've never had a single breach. My entire team is thoroughly trained and bound by strict NDAs and confidentiality agreements." "This is more than policy—it's our culture. HIPAA (patient privacy) laws are in place to protect patients, and I will never discuss any details of a procedure or procedures unless the patient has chosen to share them or given me permission to discuss. Every patient is unique. This isn't 'cookbook' surgery—it's thoughtful, personalized care," he continued. But then who should pop into the comments? None other than Kris herself. She wrote, "Garth you are such a superstar class act!! You did my first facelift in 2011… 14 years ago!!! and made it the most amazing experience ever and even gave us access to film so that others could get a peek inside what it's like and not be afraid… you have taken great care of us always and remain such a close and treasured friend!! Such an incredible talent!! ❤️🙏🏼." First facelift. Here's the thing: I don't think the Kar-Jenners really ever do something out of the pure kindness of their hearts. They've lied and obfuscated about the cosmetic work they've had done in the past. Which makes me think their sudden candor is a sign of something else being afoot. We'll probably have to tune into season 1 million of The Kardashians to get clarity on that one.
