Tennis world goes nuts for Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu pairing at US Open
The tennis world has gone into frenzy after Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu teamed up at the US Open, as rumours continue to swirl that they may be the sport's newest power couple. In their first round match at the revamped US Open mixed doubles, Jack Draper and his partner Jessica Pegula overcame Raducanu and Alcaraz 4-2, 4-2 – with sets shortened for the new $1.6 million event. But despite losing comprehensively, Raducanu and Alcaraz kept spirits high, bumping fists, sharing embraces and laughs throughout. Raducanu and Alcaraz's pairing – dubbed Raducaraz by some fans – also fuelled relationship rumours as fans speculated they may be more than just friends. 'Am I watching the start of a love story?' one person wrote on X. 'I think this could be tennis' hottest new couple,' another said. While a third wrote: 'That was so much fun to watch'. Rumours of the pair dating have swirled since the Brit was pictured cheering on the Spaniard at Wimbledon in June. Since then each of the pair's social media pages continue to be flooded with questions about a potential bubbling romance. Such is the interest in the pair that worldwide search interest in the pair is up 2.2% in the last three months. However, the pair have denied being together and instead insist they are 'just good friends'. 'I guess I'm like, it comes with the territory, people being so curious,' Raducanu told The Guardian ahead of her doubles match with Alcaraz. 'I think they're more curious about this news than any tennis results and tennis news. 'But I just keep myself to myself, my private life to one side. 'It's always funny when people try to find something out, but I try not to read into it so much.' The British No. 1 has returned to form in recent months, but she narrowly missed out on being a seed for the US Open singles event, which begins next week in New York. Alcaraz will enter the US Open draw as the second seed.

Jay Cutler slams ex-wife Kristin Cavallari as ‘reckless'
Jay Cutler claimed his 'reckless' ex-wife, Kristin Cavallari, lied about not receiving any money from him in their divorce settlement. 'Let's think about this logically. 'Not a penny.' OK. Married for, I don't know, seven years or so, three kids,' the former NFL star said during a recent episode of his Take It Outside podcast. 'You can go and see how much I made in the NFL. It's online. You can see the contract from year to year and the total amount at the end of 12 years,' he added. 'So, you go to divorce and each side gets a lawyer and then you go to court and there's a judge.' Cutler, who earned approximately $US127.9 million during his 12-year NFL career, said there's 'not a judge in the state of Tennessee' that would have signed off on a divorce agreement that would allow him to 'keep every single dollar' he made during their marriage. The former Chicago Bears quarterback, 42, said the The Hills star's skincare and jewellery company, Uncommon James, was a 'marital asset' because it was created during their union. 'It's irresponsible. I think it's reckless. I think it's borderline slander to insinuate that there was zero dollars split during the marriage that each side got,' he shared. 'It's insanity. It's completely false, completely untrue. It is, it just is. I've got a divorce decree. I've got something that's signed by the judge — it's like, 67 pages — it says the number breakdown,' Cutler added. Though the supplement business owner would not disclose the exact numbers of their settlement, he told viewers that it was 'definitely not zero.' When asked by his podcast co-host, Sam Mackey, if the money Cavallari, 38, received was 'enough to live comfortably for the rest of your life on,' Cutler replied, 'Without an absolute doubt.' Cutler explained that he 'hates' that he even had to address his ex-wife, but it 'gets to a point where it's untrue.' Page Six has reached out to Cavallari's rep for comment but did not immediately hear back. Cutler's response comes more than a month after the former reality star claimed she 'never' got 'a penny' from him while discussing the creation of her company, which launched in 2017. 'I have never gotten a penny from my ex-husband,' the mum of three said on the June 18 episode of her Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour. 'I didn't get any money from our divorce, so let's just clear that up. Thank you,' Cavallari added. The exes announced their split in 2020 and their divorce was finalised two years later. Cavallari and Cutler share three kids: Camden, 13, Jaxon, 11, and Saylor, 9.

‘Ocean of awfulness': Aubrey Plaza opens up about husband's death for first time
She said she sometimes wants to 'dive into it and just be in it', while other times she just wants to look at it. 'And then sometimes I just try to get away from it – but it's always there.' According to the medical examiner's report released in March, the couple had separated four months before Baena's death. Plaza and his family shared a brief statement following the filmmaker's passing, describing it as 'an unimaginable tragedy' and imploring people to respect their privacy. Since then, the actress has largely remained out of the spotlight. However, she is currently doing the media rounds as part of the promotion of her upcoming film, Ethan Coen's Honey Don't! – her first major film release this year. 'Overall, I'm here, and I'm functioning. I feel really grateful to be moving through the world,' Plaza said on the podcast. 'But it's like a daily struggle, obviously.' Baena was known for his work co-writing the quirky comedy I Heart Huckabees in 2004. He went on to write and direct the films Life After Beth, Joshy, The Little Hours, Horse Girl and Spin Me Round, and also created the anthology series Cinema Toast. Plaza starred in his directorial debut Life After Beth in 2014. The couple worked together on five films, performing together in The End of Love (2014). Loading Though Plaza is best known for her role as the dark and dry April on Parks and Recreation, she has also starred in Scott Pilgrim vs the World, Dirty Grandpa, The White Lotus and Megalopolis. In 2023, she was nominated for a Golden Globe for her part in the second season of The White Lotus. How have people responded? Since the podcast episode dropped, listeners have flooded social media to express gratitude for Plaza and Poehler's delicate navigation of such a sensitive subject. Many found the description of grief as an 'ocean of awfulness' relatable and somewhat comforting. Listeners also considered it a refreshing departure from western culture's traditional approach to death, especially suicide, which is generally to avoid it. 'I also lost my partner this year and I didn't expect this episode to be so comforting. I thought they would just ignore Aubrey's grief, as that is what most of my friends have done. It was nice to see everyone be so honest about it and not afraid of it,' one listener wrote in the comments section on YouTube. On Instagram, writer Evan Ross Katz praised both women for their approach to conversations about death and loss. 'I've said it before and I'll say it again: Nothing heals the heart like hearing people talk about their grief journey. Incredibly grateful to Aubrey Plaza for sharing this, and to Amy Poehler for shepherding the conversation. Good Hang, once again, delivers.' Several others highlighted Poehler's approach in particular, applauding the comedian for including the National Suicide and Crisis Prevention Lifeline at 988 and Spotify's mental health resources in the episode.
