These 'Love Is Blind' stars are dating – after walking down the aisle with other people
Months after their season of "Love is Blind" aired, two stars are pulling off a stunning switch-up. Sara Carton and Joey Leveille, who both appeared on Season 8 of the reality dating experiment – and each got engaged to separate people – made their relationship with each other social media official over the weekend. In a joint post to Instagram July 13, Carton and Leveille shared photos of themselves smiling for the camera and kissing, captioning the carousel: "happy🥹. my newest life chapter title." The pairing may surprise fans who tune into the most recent season of "Love is Blind," filmed in Minnesota, which saw both Carton and Leveille fall in love with other people. The reality dating show follows singles in a certain area as they date through "pods" and get engaged sight unseen. Carton accepted a proposal from Ben Mezzenga while Leveille got engaged to Monica Danús. When push came to shove, though, neither couple tied the knot, with Carton saying no at the altar in part because of religious and political differences – a theme that ran throughout the season. Leveille, on the other hand, said no only after Danús had already told attendees and the officiant at the wedding that she wasn't ready – in later interviews, she revealed she would have said yes had she felt Leveille was all in. Now, in an apparent game of musical chairs, Carton and Leveille are trying to make reality show love work with one another. Rumors of their entanglement first began to swirl in March, after the show wrapped and fans noticed them looking cozy at the reunion. A post shared by Sara Carton (@saracarton_) In an interview shortly after with Elite Daily, Danús seemingly confirmed the relationship, saying she had confronted Carton, who had admitted via text that she and Leveille were "seeing each other." Angry at the betrayal, Danús told the publication: "All this time when I was venting to her about Joey and she was saying she had my back, she was actually with him." 'Love is Blind' stars Lauren and Cameron Hamilton expecting baby after fertility struggles Now, with the fervor of attention subsided, Carton and Leveille appear ready to share their status with the world. And not all their "Love is Blind" castmates are holding a grudge. "Cute! how'd you guys meet?" Lauren O'Brien, who starred alongside Carton and Leveille in Season 8, commented on the post. "God forbid a girl be happy," chimed in Taylor Hastings, part of the only couple to get married during the Minnesota season.

Olivia Culpo welcomes first baby with Christian McCaffrey. ‘Look at the grip'
Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey are officially a family of three. The superstar couple, who celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary on June 29, took to Instagram on July 13 to announce the birth of their first baby together. In the caption, Culpo revealed the name of her newborn baby girl: Colette Annalise McCaffrey. Colette, a shortened form of Nicolette meaning 'victory of the people' in Greek (via Nicholas), has been listed in the Social Security Administration's (SSA) top 1,000 every year since 2012. It most recently ranked 400th in the U.S. with 789 recorded births in 2024, per the SSA. But, in the eyes of Culpo and McCaffrey, Colette is one-of-one. 'Luckiest man on the planet,' McCaffrey, a running back for the San Francisco 49ers, wrote next to a photo of him and Colette on his Instagram Stories. 'The scariest and most rewarding of all experiences,' Culpo wrote in an Instagram story of her own. 'As soon as (McCaffrey) came into the room I felt most at peace. Look at the grip.' In a separate story, Culpo praised McCaffrey as the 'best daddy in the world.' Many of the couple's close friends and colleagues took to the comment section to congratulate them on the new arrival. 'Oh sweet girl you are so loved already. Welcome to the world angel. Love y'all so much,' wrote Natalie Stewart, the wife of retired running back Jonathan Stewart. 'Congratulations!!!! so happy!' added Morgan Romano, who was crowned Miss USA in 2022. 'Colette you have no idea how loved you are already! The luckiest little lady with two of the best to call mom & dad LOVE YOU ALL!!!' wrote Kathleen Messier, who married McCaffrey's brother, Max, in June. Culpo has 'been dreaming of this' moment for a long time Culpo, a former Miss USA and Miss Universe winner, revealed her pregnancy in March on Instagram with a black-and-white photo showing off her baby bump in a dress. 'Next chapter, motherhood,' she wrote in the caption on March 10. In an interview with People, published March 26, Culpo opened up about what she's looking forward to as a first-time mom. 'I'm so excited and grateful to be pregnant. I've been dreaming of this for a long time,' she said at the time. 'It's very special.' One of the things she was looking forward to the most was making 'traditions' with her new family. 'It is fun growing your family with someone that you really love and just being able to see Christian as a dad will be really exciting,' she told People. 'I just know he's going to be such a good partner and husband and father,' she added. 'I can't wait to see him step into that role. It will just be unlike any other experience.' On May 18, the couple took to Instagram to share a video of gender predictions from their baby shower. 'I am your mom and I have no idea what you are. I thought you were a boy, now everyone thinks you're a girl, so I think you're a girl, but watch you be a boy,' Culpo said at the start of the video. 'I'm your dad and I think you're going to be a boy,' McCaffrey added in the next clip. One month later, the couple celebrated their first wedding anniversary — two weeks before their baby's birth. 'One year down, with something new, Soon it's more than just us two,' Culpo wrote in a caption on Instagram. 'Best day ever, best year ever… happy anniversary to the love of my life. So so thankful.' McCaffrey and Culpo sparked dating rumors in 2019 and went Instagram official later that year. The couple got engaged in 2023, per People, and tied the knot on June 29, 2024. And now they have a baby.

BBC staff with authority to cut Bob Vylan livestream ‘were at Glastonbury'
BBC staff working for the broadcaster at Glastonbury had the authority to cut the Bob Vylan livestream, the BBC director-general has said. Police have since launched an investigation into the punk rap duo after the frontman, Bob Vylan, led crowds in chants of 'death, death to the IDF (Israeli Military Force)' during their set at the festival. Meanwhile, the BBC have issued an apology for the livestream and have promised to no longer broadcast live acts they deem 'high risk'. In a letter responding to questions sent by Dame Caroline Dinenage MP, chairwoman of the Culture Media and Sport Committee, the director-general of the BBC, Tim Davie said: 'Cutting the livestream was an option open to those on the ground on the day. Bob Vylan performing at Glastonbury (Ben Birchall/PA) (PA Wire) 'There were 550 personnel working for the BBC at Glastonbury. Of these 328 were working for BBC Studios (camera crew, rigging, technical and production roles), 35 providing coverage for BBC News, and 187 other BBC public service, working across a wide range of roles, including technical crew, producers, presenters, engineers, runners, commissioners and compliance staff.' He added: 'There were failures in our coverage which led to offensive content being broadcast live. I deeply regret that such deplorable behaviour appeared on the BBC and want to apologise to our viewers and listeners and in particular the Jewish community. 'In considering what to learn from this, my immediate priority was to take swift actions, as detailed above, to mitigate against anything similar happening in the future. 'At the same time we are taking actions to ensure there is proper accountability for those found to be responsible for the failings in the live broadcast; and we are urgently reviewing our guidelines to see if any further measures are needed.' Police have launched an investigation into Bob Vylan (PA Wire) Since their Glastonbury set, Bob Vylan, made up of frontman Bobby Vylan, whose real name is reportedly Pascal Robinson-Foster, and drummer Bobbie Vylan, have reportedly been dropped by their agency, United Talent Agency (UTA), which appears to have removed the group from their website, and have also been pulled from a number of concerts – including their US tour after having their visas revoked. The group announced on Monday, in a post on Instagram, that they were unable to join rock band, Gogol Bordello, on their European Tour. The statement said: 'Due to logistical complications, we have decided not to join our friends Gogol Bordello on their upcoming European Tour. However, we will be heading to Europe in the coming months for both festivals and headline shows.' It comes after the group performed a sold-out gig in London last week where Bobby Vylan said: 'We are a loving band, we love you lot for being here with us. We love the Palestinian people. 'Their strength, their resilience, their ability to keep on going in the face of it all is a beautiful and inspiring thing. 'So as hard as this week may have been for us, it has been nothing in comparison to what the Palestinian people are going through right now.'
