Gigi Hadid Addresses Keeping Daughter Khai's Face Off Instagram
Originally appeared on E! Online
Gigi Hadid is grateful for fans' support of her and 's decision to maintain their daughter's privacy on social media.
The supermodel readdressed the issue after a person commented on her April 11 Instagram post that included pics of Khai, 4, riding a bicycle and tracing letters in a workbook.
"Even without showing her face, we can feel how loved and special Khai is," the user wrote, to which Gigi responded, "This means a lot :)."
In 2021, the 29-year-old had shared a plea to fans and the press about Khai's privacy.
"You know we have never intentionally shared our daughters face on social media," Gigi wrote on her Instagram Stories at the time. "Our wish is that she can choose how to share herself with the world when she comes of age, and that she can live as normal of a childhood as possible, without worrying about a public image that she has not chosen."

Gigi continued, "It would mean the world to us, as we take our daughter to see and explore NYC and the world, if you would PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE blur her face out of the images, if and when she is caught on camera. I know it's an extra effort- but as a new mom, I just want the best for my baby, as all parents do."
In addition to occasionally sharing pics of Khai with her face hidden, Gigi has also shared more insight into her life as a mom in press interviews.
Earlier this month, she spoke about her and her daughter's recent first visit to Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament in New Jersey.
"Khai got very into it," Gigi said of the April 8 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. 'You can make kids a hundred different things in a week, and when we get there, why is her favorite chicken the one at Medieval Times? She ate so much chicken!"

Justin Bieber Celebrates First Father's Day Inside $26 Million Beverly Hills Mansion—as His Cryptic Instagram Posts Concern Fans
Pop star Justin Bieber celebrated his first Father's Day with wife Hailey and their 9-month-old son, Jack Blues, inside their $26 million California mansion—hours before sparking serious concern among fans by sharing a series of erratic Instagram posts about his 'anger issues.' The 31-year-old 'Baby' hitmaker went on a 24-hour Instagram spree that began with a series of posts documenting his Father's Day at home, before it took a dark turn when he began sharing photos and videos of himself with what appeared to be drug paraphernalia, while also hitting out at his fans and followers for voicing their concern about his well-being. In total, Justin shared 20 posts, which ended with an early-morning video that appears to have been taken in the backyard of the home he shares with Hailey, 28, and Jack. His barrage of online content came just hours after he and Hailey, who welcomed son Jack Blues Bieber in August 2024, kicked off their first Father's Day with a sweet and seemingly wholesome date night, after which they returned to their abode in order to spend the day with their son. The couple opted for a lowkey observance of the special day, which saw them lounging around their California dwelling and introducing Jack to the piano. Justin kicked off his Father's Day celebrations by taking to social media to share a close-up selfie featuring a fake hand with its middle finger up. He captioned the post, 'I'm not a dad to be f—ed with.' He then gushed about his luxe Father's Day gifts, which included two Prada backpacks, a new Apple laptop, and a $38,000 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch. While showcasing his presents, he said, 'Happy daddy day to me.' He went on to reveal that he and Hailey had found time to step out of their stunning abode, sharing an image of his wife returning to their property, which he captioned: 'Made it home from a lil date night getaway.' Another snap saw Hailey and Jack cuddled up by the piano. In one video, Justin lay on the ground and zoomed the camera into his wife and son at the piano before showing off Jack's gold bracelet, which is engraved with his initials 'JBB' on the front. His wholesome Father's Day content took a turn when he began sharing screenshots of a text conversation between himself and an ex-friend. 'I will never suppress my emotions for someone. Conflict is a part of a relationship. If you don't like my anger, you don't like me,' read a message that appeared to be from Justin. The unidentified person responded, 'I'm not used to someone lashing out at me,' to which Justin seemingly replied, 'This friendship is officially over. I will never accept a man calling my anger lashing out.' Justin then addressed his fans' growing concerns about his state of mind, sharing a lengthy statement in which he confessed to being 'broken' and having 'anger issues.' He penned, 'People keep telling me to heal. Don't you think if I could have fixed myself I would have already? I know I am broken. I know I have anger issues. 'I tried to do the work my whole life to be like the people who told me I needed to be fixed like them. And it just keeps making me more tired and more angry. 'The harder I try to grow, the more focused on myself I am. Jesus is the only person who keeps me wanting to make my life about others because honestly, I'm exhausted thinking about myself lately, aren't you?' He captioned the statement with a middle finger emoji. In the comments section, fans begged him to take a break from 'social media' and 'ignore' the haters. They noted that he should 'focus' on himself and enjoy his time with Hailey and Jack. Justin's latest Instagram rant comes days after his wife marked a major milestone in her professional career when she sold her beauty brand, Rhode, to e.l.f Beauty for an historic $1 billion. The 28-year-old founder revealed that the takeover will see continuing her current role with her company while also serving as the brand's chief creative officer and head of innovation. Hailey will handle product innovation, marketing, and act as a strategic advisor. According to a press release, Rhode garnered the spot of No. 1 skin care brand in Earned Media Value, representing 367% year-over-year EMV growth. The model took to Instagram to reveal the news, confessing that she had 'big dreams' for her brand when she launched it in 2022. Just days earlier, she confessed that her $26 million marital mansion has become a safe haven amid seemingly endless public backlash over her seven-year marriage to Justin. The beauty brand founder spoke out about her experience of dealing with online hate and furious scrutiny, in a cover interview with Vogue, explaining how becoming a mother to Jack has prompted her to all but withdraw from the public eye so she can raise him privately away from prying eyes. Although Hailey is regularly pictured out and about at various events, she confessed to Vogue that, these days, she much prefers staying at home inside her seven-bedroom, 10-bathroom Beverly Hills, CA, property, which is situated safely inside a gated community, ensuring maximum privacy. 'I'm a cozy person. Our house is my element, and my sanctuary. It's where my heart is, for sure,' she told the outlet. Since welcoming their son in August 2024, the Biebers have been careful to avoid having him photographed in public, with Hailey noting that they limit family outings as much as possible in order to protect their son's privacy. 'We don't take him to a lot of places. We don't want anyone to…. I mean, you've just got to see how invasive it all is. It feels mean to put a baby into that,' she said. Luckily, the couple's home, which they purchased in 2020, was bought with babies in mind, with Hailey telling Vogue that she believes her son 'will love' the playground that sits at the center of their neighborhood, although she concedes that he's a little young to appreciate the space just yet. Aside from providing a 'safe' space in which to raise her child, Hailey also noted that the home has given her a haven in which to go through the 'high highs and low lows' of being postpartum, a period that she admitted saw her experiencing more 'self-hatred' than ever before. 'I cry a lot more than I did before,' she said, revealing that she is working on being vulnerable and allowing herself 'to feel what I'm feeling and be not okay, and be able to just really express that and feel safe with my friends to just be like, 'I'm losing it today.'' Their home serves as the ideal sanctuary for anyone hoping to remain away from prying eyes, thanks in large part to its location inside one of Los Angeles' 'most sought-after guard-gated' communities. Described in its original listing as being set 'in the middle of park-like grounds' that span more than 2.5 acres, the home was hailed as offering the utmost privacy and seclusion to its owners. The home features state-of-the-art amenities and comes complete with a stunning entrance area, an expansive living room, a formal dining room, a chef's kitchen, and a sensational theater room. It also boasts plenty of windows that overlook the lush landscaping and allow a flood of natural light into the space. The property also holds a lavish swimming pool, tennis court, and outdoor living and dining rooms with a barbecue, pizza oven, and koi pond. When heading upstairs, guests are met with six stunning bedrooms, including a primary suite with a separate sitting area, dual closets, and bathrooms with heated floors. According to its original listing, 'this estate is perfect for large scale entertaining, set in the middle of park-like grounds, completely private and secluded.' However, should the duo wish to take a break from the bright lights of Los Angeles, they head to their Palm Springs dwelling, which they purchased in 2023 for a jaw-dropping $16.6 million. Since snapping up the opulent abode, it has served as a vacation residence for the couple, who regularly host getaways with their friends inside the La Quinta dwelling. The home sits on an acre within Coachella Valley's Madison Club community, which A-listers such as Scooter Braun, Adele, Kris Jenner, and Kourtney Kardashian also call home. Their vacation rental was built in 2009 and boasts a French-inspired aesthetic along with seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms. The 10,000-square-foot property also has its very own guesthouse, tennis court, and a massive swimming pool.

Nathan's most famous hot dog eater is back: Joey Chestnut will compete in 2025
For many, the Fourth of July is a day full of traditions. After a one-year hiatus, one of the most famous Fourth of July traditions in sports returns in its most famous form in 2025. Joey Chestnut will compete in the 2025 Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest after being barred from the 2024 competition. "I'm thrilled to be returning to the Nathan's Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest," the hot dog-eating icon wrote in an Instagram post on Monday. "This event means the world to me. It's a cherished tradition, a celebration of American culture, and a huge part of my life." Chestnut, who won 16 of 17 Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contests from 2007-23, was banned from competing in the 2024 event due to accepting a sponsorship deal with Nathan's competitor Impossible Foods. As it wasn't guaranteed that Chestnut would ever be able to compete in the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest again, the 16-time hot dog eating champ shared he was able to work something out with Nathan's to allow him to participate in the 2025 event. "While I have and continue to partner with a variety of companies, including some in the plant-based space, those relationships were never a conflict with my love for hot dogs," Chestnut wrote. "To be clear: Nathan's is the only hot dog company I've ever worked with. "I respect that there were differences in interpretation, but I'm grateful we've been able to find common ground." Even though Chestnut wasn't in Coney Island for last year's event, he still downed several hot dogs on the Fourth of July in 2024. He participated in a five-minute hot dog eating contest against four US Army soldiers at Fort Bliss. He out ate the four soldiers, downing 57 hot dogs to their combined 49 hot dogs. Additionally, the 57 hot dogs Chestnut ate at that event were just one shy of the number of hot dogs Patrick Bertoletti ate to win the 2024 Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest (58). However, Bertoletti needed 10 minutes to eat that many hot dogs. Chestnut also competed against longtime rival Takeru Kobayashi in a live-stream hot dog eating event for Netflix on Labor Day in 2024. Chestnut, who overtook Kobayashi as the all-time winningest eater at the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest in 2013, took down his rival in that event, 83-66. Now, Chestnut will be back in Coney Island this summer. The last time he was there, he ate 62 hot dogs to win the 2023 competition. Two years prior, he broke his own 10-minute record, downing 76 hot dogs to win in 2021. Betting odds for the 2025 contest haven't been listed yet at legal sportsbooks in the United States. However, Chestnut will almost certainly be a heavy favorite to win this year's competition. He was listed as a -5000 favorite to win the event right before he won it in 2023. "I'm excited to be back on the Coney Island stage," Chestnut wrote, "doing what I live to do, and celebrating the Fourth of July with hot dogs in my hands! "Stay hungry!"

Jennifer Garner Shares Sweet Father's Day Tribute to Ben Affleck
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." On Father's Day, Jennifer Garner took a moment to reflect on the dads in her life. Her own father passed away last year, and the holiday was sure to be a bittersweet one for the 53-year-old actress. Jennifer shared a video of her walking alongside her dad on their farm wearing matching overalls. She wrote, "Being fathered by someone who loves being a dad is a gift; my sisters and I know this love and (lucky for us) all of our kids do, too. Happy Father's Day to the Dads, no matter where you are. To the uncles and grandfathers and father figures, too. We love you." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jennifer Garner (@ Jennifer also took the opportunity to send her well-wishes to her ex-husband Ben Affleck, with whom she shares her children, Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel. She shared a throwback photo of one of the babies sleeping on Ben's chest with the message, "Happy Father's Day to 3 people's favorite landing spot." The two finalized their divorce in 2018 after separating three years earlier, but they have remained close and co-parent their teenage children, and they're often seen together at family outings. And it's clear the respect goes both ways. Ben paid a special visit to Jennifer on Mother's Day, and in March, he told GQ, 'I'm really lucky that I have a really good co-parent and partner in Jennifer Garner, the kids' mom, who's wonderful and great and we work together well.' Recent paparazzi photos have sparked rumors of a rekindled romance, but Jennifer seems to be going strong with her longtime boyfriend, John Miller.
