Katie Thurston Gives Health Update Amid Cancer Battle
Katie Thurston has been sharing new updates about her health as she battles advanced breast cancer. As she continues treatment for stage four breast cancer, Thurston recently opened up about the physical and emotional challenges she is facing.
Katie Thurston, the former Bachelorette, has been openly sharing her ongoing battle with cancer since her diagnosis in February 2025. Initially diagnosed with stage three breast cancer, her illness has since advanced to stage four.
In a recent Instagram video, Thurston revealed some of the challenging side effects she has been dealing with, including significant memory loss. Reflecting on one of the incidents, she shared, 'Going through customs and them being like, 'Where are you coming from?' And I looked at him and I was like, 'I don't remember. I don't remember.''
Thurston also talked about a recent argument with her husband, Jeff Arcuri. She explained how she couldn't remember the cause of their argument. However, she was certain it had happened before. Despite the challenges, the couple is able to laugh at these confusing moments.
In addition to memory issues, Thurston revealed that her hair is falling out in large clumps. After completing two months of medication, she now faces important decisions regarding her liver health. She has chosen to undergo Histotripsy, a non-invasive treatment for liver tumors. The reality TV star added, 'I am optimistic about medical advancements in the future. Fingers crossed as a stage 4 girly.'
Last month, Thurston went through medically induced menopause. However, the hormone-suppressing medication didn't work as planned. She shared that if the new medication also fails, she may need to have her ovaries removed. The reality TV star concluded, 'I'm just going to end this because I want it just to be my truth, I guess. Anyway, happy Sunday.'

Huge blow as Chelsea star ruled out of Euro 2025
Chelsea defender Millie Bright has ruled herself out of England's Euro 2025 squad for this summer's tournament. Bright's decision comes ahead of Sarina Wiegman's squad announcement, with the 31-year-old admitting she is not 'able to give 100%' physically or mentally' to the Lionesses. England begin their Euro 2025 campaign against France on July 5th. 'This is one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make, but after careful thought and discussions with my team, I have decided to withdraw from selection for the England squad ahead of Euro 2025,' Bright said in an Instagram post. Advertisement 'Football has given me so much, and representing my country has always been my greatest honour. My pride and ego tells me to go but I think the team and the fans deserve more. Right now, I'm not able to give 100 per cent mentally or physically.' Bright's announcement follows the decisions of Mary Earps and Fran Kirby to retire from international duty. Earps has called time on her career with the Lionesses after being replaced as number one goalkeeper. Wiegman's squad will now be absent of several leaders from the squad's that won the European Championship in 2022 and reached the World Cup final in 2023. Bright captained the side at that latter tournament in the absence of injured Arsenal star Leah Williamson. The former has won 88 caps for the national team.

Dakota Johnson & Chris Martin Reportedly Breakup After 8-Year On-off Relationship
Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin are back in the spotlight following reports of their latest breakup. Multiple sources have confirmed that the longtime couple, who began dating in 2017 and were reportedly engaged for years, have ended their relationship once again. The news comes just weeks after their last public appearance together in Malibu. Here's what sources revealed about the split, the couple's relationship timeline, and where things stand now. Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin have ended their relationship, sources confirmed to People. The pair had been in an on-off relationship since 2017 and were reportedly engaged for several years. A source told the outlet, 'It feels final this time,' suggesting a definitive end to their nearly eight-year partnership. The couple was last seen publicly on May 16, 2025, in Malibu. They were also photographed holding hands in India in January during Martin's Coldplay tour. Speculation about their engagement first arose in 2020, but it wasn't until March 2024 that a source confirmed they had been engaged 'for years.' At the time, they were reportedly 'in no rush to get married.' In August 2024, breakup rumors surfaced but were dismissed by Johnson's rep, who said the two were 'happily together.' Johnson and Martin maintained a low-profile relationship. In June 2024, a source said they had experienced 'ups and downs, but now they're definitely back on.' Johnson has also publicly expressed affection for Martin's children with Gwyneth Paltrow, saying, 'I love those kids like my life depends on it,' referring to Apple, 21, and Moses, 19. She previously spoke about Martin's performances, telling Bustle, 'I love watching him. I could watch him every day… I'm watching my most favorite being do his most favorite thing.' Johnson attended a promotional event in New York on May 29, 2025, following her split, appearing solo just weeks before the release of Materialists, her upcoming film with Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal.
