Who Is Paul Rabil? Meet Vanessa Kirby's Fiancé and Father of The Fantastic Four Actress's Child
Vanessa Kirby may radiate superhero confidence on screen, but off-camera, she's taken her time before saying 'I do.' Far from quietly wed, the British actress is engaged to retired lacrosse star Paul Rabil, and they have made their relationship very public since the first dating rumors started back in 2022. With an engagement in December 2024 and a baby on the way, Kirby and Rabil have already begun cementing their future together, regardless of a formal wedding date planned. From October 2022 to 'yes' in 2024 The actress-athlete duo were first linked together as a couple when the Daily Mail photographed them strolling hand-in-hand through New York City in October 2022. According to People, Rabil confirmed in a 2023 Instagram post that they met in Des Moines, Iowa, though the exact circumstances remain private. By December 2024, a source told Page Six that Rabil had popped the question—making Kirby's status officially 'fiancée.' Despite Vanessa's rising star in Fantastic Four: First Steps, the pair keep their romance grounded. They made their first joint public appearance at Rabil's National Lacrosse Hall of Fame induction in January 2025. During his acceptance speech, he publicly credited the Mission: Impossible 8 actress for helping him grow beyond his personal struggles.

Ellen DeGeneres, Portia De Rossi Are Selling Their UK Farmhouse For…
Last Updated: Ellen DeGeneres' farmhouse, which is on sale, blends period character with sleek, modern design across 43 acres of rolling Cotswold countryside. Ellen DeGeneres and her partner, Portia de Rossi, are ready to say goodbye to their UK farmhouse. On July 22, the couple told a media portal that they would be listing their Cotswolds estate for about 30 million dollars. The announcement came just a month after the duo relocated to England from California. Reports further claimed that the former talk show host, Ellen and actress Rossi have already moved into a new, contemporary home nearby. The decision to offload was because they needed more space for their animals. Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi purchased the farmhouse in the idyllic countryside last year and were actively involved in renovations, reported The Wall Street Journal. They bought the estate for approximately 20 million dollars. Although initially the contractors estimated a time period of 12-18 months to wrap up the renovations, it was completed in four and a half months. Insufficient space for the farm animals, especially Portia's horses, forced the couple to move out. 'When we decided to live here full time, we knew that Portia could not live without her horses. We needed a home that had a horse facility and pastures for them," Ellen DeGeberes told the outlet in a statement. The property listing documents read, 'Discreetly set at the end of a long private driveway, Kitesbridge Farm has been beautifully reimagined over the past year to an exceptional standard. The estate blends period character with sleek, modern design across 43 acres of rolling Cotswold countryside," as per a report by People. Listing agent Andrew Barnes of Sotheby's International Realty shared some details about Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi's new accommodation with WSJ. As per Andrew, the new property looks like it belongs 'in Malibu" and has a lot more land as compared to the previous one. Previously, in a conversation with English broadcaster Richard Bacon, Ellen DeGeneres opened up about relocating to England. 'We moved here in November, which was not the ideal time, but I saw snow for the first time in my life. We love it here. Portia flew her horses here, and I have chickens, and we had sheep for about two weeks," she said. Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi got married in 2008 after dating for years since 2004.

Travis Kelce's dad gushes over Taylor Swift, says she's very ‘special' and genuinely caring
Travis Kelce 's father, Ed Kelce, is offering heartfelt praise for his son's girlfriend, Taylor Swift , calling her 'a very special person' and 'one of the most giving and caring people' he's ever met. Two years into the high-profile relationship between the NFL star and the global music icon, Ed admits the attention around it still feels borderline surreal. Speaking recently from the American Century Championship in Lake Tahoe, Ed reflected on how life has changed for the Kelce family and how Swift has seamlessly become part of it, all while staying down to earth despite her massive fame. Taylor Swift's kindness left a lasting impression on Ed Kelce Ed Kelce's admiration for Swift began the very first time they met, ironically, a moment when he didn't even recognize her. But that quickly changed. Reflecting on an encounter during a Kansas City Chiefs game in 2023, Ed recalled how Taylor surprised him by quietly cleaning up empty bottles and plates in their Arrowhead Stadium suite. 'She didn't get the diva memo,' he told People. 'She's very genuine.' That simple act stood out to Ed as proof of Swift's humility and grounded nature, especially striking given her superstar status. In his recent chat with the Daily Mail, Ed doubled down on his appreciation, calling Taylor 'a very special person' and praising her for being exceptionally giving and caring. A new normal for the Kelce family in Swift's spotlight The Kelces recently reunited at the American Century Championship, a celebrity golf event in Lake Tahoe that has become something of a summer tradition for the family. This year, the crowds were even bigger, thanks in no small part to the couple's headline-making relationship. Ed, 74, spent time there with both his sons, Travis and Jason, and said the attention their family now receives is pretty crazy when he stops to think about it. Yet through it all, he says Swift fits in like one of the family. With Jason returning to his broadcast role and Travis preparing for his 13th NFL season, Ed seems content watching his sons succeed and genuinely touched by the kindness Taylor brings into their lives.
