Oba Femi drops bombshell on Stephanie Vaquer, Myles Borne relationship ahead of NXT Battleground
Image via WWE WWE's NXT Battleground 2025 is already making headlines, and not just for its action-packed lineup. In a recent interview, NXT Champion Oba Femi stirred buzz by confirming what had long been rumoured: NXT Women's Champion Stephanie Vaquer is dating fellow wrestler and Battleground challenger Myles Borne. NXT gets a new power couple The revelation came during a promotional appearance on WFLA News Channel 8, where Femi and Vaquer were interviewed ahead of Sunday's event. While discussing his title defence against Borne, Femi casually remarked, 'I'm looking forward to beating up Stephanie Vaquer's boyfriend [Myles Borne] for a little bit.' The comment confirmed weeks of speculation that the two rising stars were romantically involved. Interview: WWE Superstars Oba Femi, Stephanie Vaquer on hopes for Memorial Day Takeover Femi elaborated further, expressing respect for Borne's rise through the ranks, but issued a strong warning: 'At the end of the day, this is not a Disney movie. You don't get the happy ending. You don't get to run off into the sunset with my belt.' The reaction on social media was immediate, with fans reacting to both the unexpected love story and the simmering rivalry. Though neither Vaquer nor Borne has publicly addressed the relationship, a photo of Vaquer with Borne's family that surfaced earlier this month had already fuelled speculation. The two have also been spotted together at social events, including a Kentucky Derby party. Interestingly, Myles Borne recently made headlines of his own after revealing that he is partially deaf - a moment that earned him widespread admiration from the NXT Universe. Now, with both his personal and professional lives in the spotlight, Borne heads into Battleground as one of the most talked-about superstars. Both Vaquer and Borne are scheduled for crucial title matches at Sunday's event. While Borne challenges Femi for the NXT Championship, Vaquer will defend her NXT Women's Title against TNA's Jordynne Grace in what promises to be a hard-hitting encounter. The event, airing on Peacock in the U.S. and Netflix internationally, will also feature Tony D'Angelo vs. Stacks, Trick Williams taking on Joe Hendry for the TNA World Title, and a six-man tag team clash involving Hank, Tank, and Josh Briggs against The Culling. As NXT's latest power couple garners attention, all eyes will be on whether their chemistry outside the ring translates to gold inside it - or whether personal stakes will raise the emotional temperature inside the squared circle.

Princess Beatrice Channels Princess Kate in Self-Portrait—and Recycles a Dress from Grandma Queen Elizabeth's Memorial Vigil
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Self-Portrait's tailored tweed dresses and delicate lace midis have proven to be a staple in royal wardrobes in recent years, with everyone from Queen Letizia of Spain and Sweden's Princess Sofia to Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle sporting the brand's designs. One particular style has come up again and again at royal events, and Princess Beatrice showed the versatility of one of her favorite dresses at the FEVO Sports Industry Awards on May 15. The royal—who gave birth to her second daughter, Athena, in February—wore a black version of the ivory Self-Portrait blazer dress Princess Kate sported at a VE Day concert last week. The belted design features a jacket with satin lapels over a floaty chiffon skirt, and it's been seen multiple times on both Beatrice and Kate, who also owns the same black design. Princess Beatrice first wore the style at a vigil for Queen Elizabeth in September 2022, pairing it with a black hat as she stood by her grandmother's coffin. Two days later, royal cousin Flora Vesterberg wore the same Self-Portrait dress to the late Queen's funeral. View Deal To keep the twinning vibes going, Princess Beatrice wore a similar style as Kate's ivory Self-Portrait dress to support premature birth charity Borne in March. On Thurday, the princess paired her outfit with another style beloved by the Princess of Wales, carrying an embroidered black Aspinal of London Midi Mayfair purse. Thursday's event marked Beatrice's second stylish appearance of the week after attending an Elephant Family charity event with Queen Camilla and King Charles. She turned to Rebecca Vallance for the party, wearing a short-sleeved red brocade gown and $34,000 in Chopard diamonds. The Rebecca Vallance style made another appearance at the FEVO Sports Industry Awards—but on another member of the Royal Family. Beatrice's cousin Zara Tindall wore the same gown, but in black, on the red carpet, showing great style (once again) runs in the family. View Deal View Deal View Deal View Deal

Myles Borne Cuts Passionate Promo About Overcoming His Disability On WWE NXT
Myles Borne is empowered. At birth, Myles Borne was diagnosed with persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn, a potentially deadly condition that renders newborns unable to breathe outside the uterus. While he ultimately survived PPHN, it left him with a noticeable hearing impairment. Advertisement On this week's episode of WWE NXT, Borne opened up about his struggle with being partially deaf. Despite them, Borne noted that he still aims to inspire those affected by similar conditions. Moreover, he plans to shock the world at NXT Battleground, when he challenges Oba Femi for the NXT Championship. 'We've been dancing around this whole thing for a while now, but I have a disability. I'm partially deaf. It affects my speech. It affects the way that I talk,' Borne said. 'But let me tell you something. Last week, when I eliminated Ethan Page and Shawn Spears [in the number one contender's battle royal], I heard y'all going crazy. I don't want to just be known as the deaf kid. I want to be judged by my ability, not by my disability. And that's what everyone with a disability wants to be judged by. 'So yeah, Battleground, I'm the underdog. I'm facing a dominant champion, but I'm fighting for all the kids out there who are struggling, fighting their own fight,' he continued. 'To prove that you too can achieve success. Oba Femi, I hope you're listening, because last week, they didn't give me a shot, but look what happened. May 25th, they're not giving me a shot, but I'm ready to shock the world again. I might be hard of hearing, but at Battleground I will hear [Mike] Rome announce me, Myles Borne, you're new NXT Champion.' Borne, a former amateur wrestler, signed with WWE in 2022. Currently, he resides on the NXT brand as a part of the No Quarter Catch Crew. Advertisement Most recently, Borne outlasted 24 other men, including Ethan Page and Shawn Spears, in a battle royal to secure himself a shot at the NXT Championship. This week, Borne put his number one contendership status on the line against Page in singles competition. Fortunately for him, he defeated Page to keep his status intact.
