Paige Spiranac roasts Chris Pratt as ‘slowest golfer' she's played with
Paige Spiranac has nothing but love for Chris Pratt as a person, but his golf game is another story.
During an appearance Tuesday on the 'Vanity Index' podcast, the longtime golf influencer reflected on a star-studded golf outing at the Genesis Invitational that featured the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' actor, who 'might be the slowest golfer' she's ever played with.
'At Genesis, they did a celebrity Ryder Cup and my partner was Nick Jonas,' Spiranac told hosts Chad Mumm and Wells Adams.

'We played against Chris Pratt. He was very slow,' she added with a laugh. 'Might be the slowest golfer I've ever played with. Super nice guy, unbelievably slow.'
Spiranac, 32, then divulged how Pratt, 45, 'had all these people around him and he'd tell these amazing stories,' but didn't swing at a swift pace.
'We were like, 'Hit the golf ball,'' she recalled.

'If we're not talking about pro golfers, I was in a foursome once with Mark Wahlberg and Justin Timberlake and Gary Player, so that was pretty sick,' she said.
Another celeb Spiranac could add to her growing list of notable golf partners is Adam Sandler's Happy Gilmore.

In the upcoming sequel to the 1996 golf comedy, Spiranac appears as a Dick's Sporting Goods employee assisting Gilmore, who slices a hole in a golf simulator while surrounding by spectators.
'The fact that I'm in the Happy Gilmore 2 movie is actually insane lol,' Spiranac wrote on X in March when the trailer dropped.
The film, which also features appearances from Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler and Travis Kelce, premieres July 25 on Netflix.

Threats to athletes have become an increasingly visible topic recently, and Houston Police revealed earlier this week that an overseas sports bettor had been the culprit of death threats made toward Astros pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. and his family.

Romeo Beckham splits from girlfriend Kim Turnbull after 7 months amid family feud
Romeo Beckham and Kim Turnbull have gone their separate ways, as family tensions within the Beckham clan continue to simmer. The 22-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham had dated Turnbull, 26, for seven months before their romance turned sour. The couple ultimately parted ways in May, just three weeks after a lavish 50th birthday celebration for Romeo's father, David Beckham — an event that seemed to underscore lingering tensions within the family. 5 Romeo Beckham and Kim Turnbull have called it quits as tensions continue to rumble within the Beckham family. GC Images 'Romeo and Kim are both young and they had a lovely time together, but at that age, things don't always last forever, and they decided to split up,' a source told the Daily Mail. 'They have been friendly since and have even been at the same venues. It's a huge shame, particularly as David and Victoria really adored her and thought she made Romeo happy, but it wasn't to be.' Insiders claim that the split had nothing to do with Romeo's rumored feud with brother Brooklyn. 'David and Victoria would hate for the view to be that they split because of Nicola (Peltz) and Brooklyn because that simply isn't the case,' they said. 5 The 22-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham had dated Turnbull, 26, for seven months before their romance turned 180 Studios 5 Insiders claim that the split had nothing to do with Romeo's rumored feud with brother Brooklyn, 26. Instagram/victoriabeckham 'The fact is that Kim has got a really busy career as a DJ and Romeo has a busy work life too, there is lots of traveling for both of them at having a relationship at this time isn't all that conducive to their lives.' The duo were first linked in November 2024 when Romeo featured Turnbull in an Instagram post following a trip to the Big Apple. It was soon reported that Romeo's older brother, Brooklyn, took issue with Turnbull after the relationship was confirmed, driving a wedge between the two brothers. 5 Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz, have noticeably kept their distance from family events in recent weeks.

Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin break up for ‘final' time after eight years together, say reports
After eight years in an on-off relationship, Coldplay singer Chris Martin and Fifty Shades of Grey actor Dakota Johnson have reportedly broken up for good. Martin, 48, and Johnson, 35, have been dating since 2017, a relationship that included a multiple-year engagement. However, it has often been overshadowed by breakup rumours. This time it could be over for good. 'It feels final this time,' a source told People. Two weeks ago, on 16 May, the pair were spotted in Malibu together, while earlier this year they held hands in India while Martin toured with Coldplay. Last year representatives for the Madame Web actor denied that the couple had split after she was spotted without her emerald engagement ring. They told The Independent in August 2024 that the pair were still 'happily together'. The Independent has contacted representatives for both Johnson and Martin for comment. While the couple didn't publicly announce their engagement, Johnson has been seen regularly wearing the same emerald ring since 2020. Prior to their relationship, Martin was married to Gwyneth Paltrow. The former couple, who were married from 2003 to 2016, share two children: 20-year-old daughter Apple and 18-year-old son Moses. Over the years, Johnson has shared details about her relationship with both Martin's children and his ex-wife. When asked in an interview with Bustle back in March if she liked being a stepmother, she gushed over Apple and Moses. 'I love those kids like my life depends on it. With all my heart,' she said. In October 2023, Paltrow opened up about her close bond with Johnson during a Q&A session on her Instagram Stories. 'We're actually very good friends,' the Iron Man star said. 'I love her so much. She's an adorable, wonderful person.' In addition to her close relationship with Martin's ex-wife, the Suspiria actor has also spoken out about how Martin helped her when she was depressed. During the 2023 Hope for Depression Research Foundation luncheon, she shared how the musician has been there for her through highs and lows. 'A few weeks ago, I was having a low day and my partner said to me, 'Are you really struggling?' and I said, 'No?'' she recalled, reported Hello. 'And he said, 'Baby, you are wearing a Cats T-shirt.' As in Cats the musical,' Johnson said. 'So it turns out, I really was struggling. But that moment lifted me up and pulled me out of it.'
