Film Icons' Rarely-Seen Twins Step Into the Spotlight for Stunning Public Appearance With Mom & Dad
Paris Fashion Week's haute couture spotlight brightened as legendary actors Angela Bassett and Courtney B. Vance made a rare and stylish appearance with their 19‑year‑old twins.
The teens, Slater and Bronwyn Vance, attended the Stéphane Rolland Fall/Winter 2025–2026 show in the European city on Tuesday, July 8, alongside their famous parents. The longtime couple, who tied the knot in Oct. 1997, and their children delighted onlookers—not just for their iconic status, but for their impeccable family coordination during the joint outing.
For the fashionable function, the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever star, 66, chose a sleeveless, flowy chocolate-colored dress, perfectly complimenting her bronzy skin tone. She accessorized the look with a thick cuff bangle and platform pumps, perfectly balancing summery elegance with Parisian poise.
Bassett's beauty look was kept simple, as she wore her dark brown tresses down, middle-parted in loose curls.
The Preacher's Wife star, 65, for his part, matched his wife with subtle accents, donning a warm weather staple: a crisp linen suit worn over a classic white button-up. A fedora, featuring a brown detailing, sat atop his head, while he finished the look off with shiny brown oxfords.
Bronwyn and Slater echoed their parents' warm tones, the former choosing a rust-colored floor-length gown with draping in the front, and the latter going with a chic white top paired with black slacks, a stylish topper and oversized ombré sunglasses. Together, they created a polished and harmonious familial unit, stepping into the spotlight alongside their legendary mom and dad.
Among other luminaries in attendance, Cardi B was seen front row beside Bassett, with the two even being captured chatting during the event and snapping photos together. The hip-hop hitmaker went avant-garde for the appearance, rocking an over-the-top black-and-white hooded number that instantly turned heads.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez Are Engaged — but All Eyes Are on the Ring
In an Instagram post on Monday, Georgina Rodríguez, the longtime girlfriend of the soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, shared a photo of a gigantic rock on her ring finger. Beneath her hand, adorned with long, freshly manicured, glazed French nails, was another person's hand — presumably Mr. Ronaldo's, since he was tagged in the photo. 'Yes, I do. In this and in all my lives,' she captioned the photo in her native Spanish. Immediately, the oval-cut ring had people talking. Some people compared the diamond ring to a Ring Pop, the lollipop candy, and others joked that it was probably so expensive that it could save world hunger. 'To wear this stone regularly, you're going to need a finger reconstruction surgery,' Julia Chafé, a jewelry-focused social media influencer, said in a video on Instagram. 'Just imagine wearing a hundred-pound kettlebell on your finger all day, every day. Painful, but worth it.' Mr. Ronaldo, 40, and Ms. Rodríguez, 31, met in 2016 at a Gucci store in Madrid, where she was working at the time, back when he played for Real Madrid. He now plays in Saudi Arabia for Al Nassr. Anya Walsh, a jewelry specialist at 77 Diamonds, a retailer based in London, said she was surprised to see a diamond ring that large. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

JD Vance Revealed Secret Service Names for His Kids in Podcast Interview
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Vice President JD Vance revealed the code names that the Secret Service uses to protect his family, including the handles for his three children, on a podcast released Monday. During the first episode of Katie Miller's eponymous show—titled The Katie Miller Podcast—the pair mostly discussed juggling parenthood and the vice presidency. Miller served as communications director for former Vice President Mike Pence and is also married to White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller. Teasers for the podcast show Vance saying the names but the audio is muted. However, he said that they start with the letter B, one is a name of a dinosaur and that there are individual "theme songs." When reached by email, the White House referred Newsweek to Vance's team. A spokesperson for Vance then told Newsweek there was no further comment. Why It Matters Vance's disclosure of details about the Secret Service code names used for his kids underscores how family anecdotes from high-profile figures can quickly spread in news cycles, raising security and privacy questions for families who receive Secret Service protection. What To Know During his interview with Katie Miller, Vance spoke at length about parenting anecdotes that included his children's fanciful statements and how the family treated Secret Service code names as a source of amusement. "Mirabel is [redacted]. They all chose them," Vance said, naming each child and their code name. "Vivek is [redacted] because he's very high energy. And Ewan is [redacted], which is a kind of dinosaur I didn't even realize," he added. Vance and his wife Usha have three children, Ewan, 8, Vivek, 5, and Mirabel, 3.

Tilton/Getty Images) "There's this one artist that has a song about bees. She has a song called, we are the dinosaurs marching," Vance told Miller. "And then she also has a song called, like, blast off another rocket ship run. So, their Secret Service code names actually have their own theme song, which they're really excited about." Usha Vance previously said, "We have code names now. Our kids had a lot of fun with that," Today reported in January. The vice president also told Miller during the podcast that his children don't quite understand what he does, although they do know he is on television a lot. "We don't try to bring our kids into the public eye, but we also don't avoid it," Vance said. "We just try to have a normal life as much as we possibly can." What People Are Saying Elon Musk posted to X, formerly Twitter, a reply to a clip of the podcast: "JD is a good guy through and through." Donald Trump Jr. posted the clip on X, saying: "Really fun interview with @KatieMiller and @JDVance." What Happens Next It is unclear if the code names will be changed by the Secret Service following the interview. While the names were not heard, the letters and themes could give away the children's titles and prompt additional security protocols.

Stepdad punishes boy's disrespect with pushups and squats in viral video
A stepfather has gone viral for using exercise to discipline his stepson — and then sharing the video on Instagram. The boy was caught telling his mother to "chill" after he was told to stop his current behavior. His stepdad stepped in, asking the boy, "Did you just tell your mom to 'chill?'" He then instructed his stepson to do several push-ups, followed by 60 squats. "Count 'em," the man told his stepson calmly, as he moved through the workout. "Keep squatting. All the way down." The punishment was followed by a conversation where the stepdad asked, "Do we tell our mom to chill out?" The boy replied, "No." The man responded, "Absolutely not. I will not let you talk to my girl that way … Would I let anyone else talk to her like that? No. So, you don't get to talk to her like that." The two hugged it out, and the boy apologized to his mother with a wholesome, "Sorry, Mom." The stepdad ended the conversation by reassuring the boy that he was loved. "Hey, I love you," he said. The video, which was posted on the family's Instagram account, raisingmaletich, has since gone viral on social media, receiving millions of views. "I will never stop being grateful to be raising kids with a real man who knows how to be a father, especially to his boys." The mother, who wrote the caption for the video, shared the following. "I will never stop being grateful to be raising kids with a real man who knows how to be a father, especially to his boys. This is masculinity. I was trying to send a work email while making breakfast for my family and my son kept asking me to use my phone after I had repeatedly told him 'No, you need to wait.' His dad overheard him tell me to 'chill' and here is how he handled it." The parenting approach was met with mixed reactions, but many social media users shared their praise. "Stepdad did the right thing. Awesome!" one X user commented under Fox News' post of the video. "That's an awesome punishment. Good job on the stepdad!" another wrote. Educational psychologist and parenting expert Dr. Michele Borba reacted to the viral moment in an interview with Fox News Digital, noting that discipline is not one-size-fits-all. Borba, who is based in California, commented that the stepfather approached discipline the "right way" in this scenario, by responding calmly instead of reacting, and enforcing a punishment that seemed familiar and doable for the child. "It may be something that he and the kid did together or the kid is good at, because [he] seems to have no problem doing it," she said. "The most amazing thing the dad did was right on the mark … He said, 'Here's what was wrong.' He was very calm in his delivery," Borba went on. "And then he let his stepson know in no uncertain terms – you don't speak like that to your mom and I don't want you to do it again." "The huge red flag was going viral with it … you've got a real emotional issue now." Where the punishment went wrong, the expert noted, was when the parents posted it on the internet, at which point it became less about physical consequences and more about public humiliation. "Whatever was done now just crumbles, because the discipline is no longer face-to-face appropriate … it's shaming," Borba said. "The huge red flag was going viral with it, because now it's not guilt. It's shame. It's public," she added. "You've got a real emotional issue now." Borba stressed that discipline should always be age-appropriate and tailored to the child, as making a child do strenuous exercise they are not comfortable with would be considered inappropriate. For more Health articles, visit It is important for discipline to be delivered in a way that is both responsible and respectful, the expert said. "The key question is, will it enhance the child's behavior so they don't repeat the behavior?" Fox News Digital reached out to the parents for comment.
