Kristin Cavallari feels like a 'new person' after divorce and cutting ties with her dad
Kristin Cavallari feels like a new person after going through a divorce and cutting ties with her dad. The 38-year-old TV personality finalised her divorce from the former NFL Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler in 2022 after nearly seven years of marriage because she "didn't want to be in a toxic relationship anymore". And Kristin decided to cut ties with her real estate dad Dennis in 2021 because he "crossed the boundary" with her three children - sons Camden, 12, and Jaxon, 11, as well as her daughter Saylor, nine - whom she had with Jay and has custody of. She told the US magazine People: "My divorce and my dad really forced me to take a hard look in the mirror and do the work. "I had to get very real with myself about the lack of self-love that I had, and then I had to build myself up again. "I finally, for the first time in my life, do love myself." The reality TV star - who shot to fame on MTV's 'Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County' when she was 17 - declared that ejecting her dad out of her life was the "best decision" she has "ever made". Kristin - who declined to go into detail about how Dennis went too far - admitted: "This might sound messed up to some people, but cutting my dad out is the best decision I've ever made. "Life's too short." The fashion designer has spoken "probably too much so" of her relationships, including the 13-year age gap with Montana Boyz TikToker Mark Estes, who she dated for seven months in 2024. Also, she described the country singer Morgan Wallen, as "good in bed" when they struck up a romance - which Kristin has never publicly revealed when they dated amid rumours of a relationship in 2023. The former 'Hills' MTV reality show cast member broke her promise that she would "never go back to reality TV" after she allowed the entertainment news brand E! to film some shows from her 'Let's Be Honest' podcast tour, which took place in March 2025, for a new programme. And Kristin hopes the new show will shut down some misconceptions about her. She said: "Headlines love to put me in this box that has to do with men and sex. And I get [the interest], but I'm a real person. It affects me. I think people's idea of me is very different from who I actually am ... "I'm really happy that I did [the show] because it was my favourite experience on a show, and truly the only show that I've done where I can say it was 100 per cent authentic."

Powys Air Cadets finally have new minibus after four years
A LLANDRINDOD Wells organisation says it is 'delighted' to have finally achieved its goal of buying a new minibus for youngsters in the town. The Llandrindod Wells RAF Air Cadets recently purchased a new minibus, after a near four-year campaign that started in late 2021. The group's old bus had been sent to the garage and the initial hope was to repair it. However, it quickly became apparent that it would be too costly to fix and the cadets set up a fundraising page, with the aim to raise a modest total of £3,000. 'Thank you to everyone who has supported our fundraising efforts to raise money for a replacement minibus over the last few years,' said the cadets on its Facebook page earlier this month, accompanied by a picture of proud youngsters standing next to the new Peugeot vehicle, which the kids have named 'Dennis'. 'We are delighted to have achieved our goal and on April 10 our minibus arrived. 'It has already been put to good use over the Easter holidays. So far it has supported our road marching, taken a group of cadets to RAF Cosford for flying and helped transport our gazebo to the lake for the Easter Saturday fun day. It (also) took the cadets to Sennybridge for a weekend of fieldcraft activities. 'Thank you to everyone who suggested a name for the minibus. The cadets decided on 'Dennis'.' The old minibus had served them faithfully for a decade but once it was sent for repairs it was discovered that would be too expensive, and a brand-new vehicle was required. The spa town-based squadron aims to train young men and women in leadership and citizenship roles through exciting and adventurous activities. The RAF Air Cadets offer young people exciting opportunities for personal and professional development. It describes itself as an inclusive organisation that cares about helping young people reach their potential. There are around 43,000 Royal Air Force Air Cadets across the UK, as well as 10,000 volunteer staff, who take part in exciting events at over 1,000 squadrons across the UK. From cyber and space to sports, flying and adventure training, being a cadet means trying new things in a safe environment, making friends along the way and gaining skills for life.

Jennylyn Mercado and Dennis Trillo say they need to stay professional on ‘Sanggang Dikit FR'
Jennylyn Mercado and Dennis Trillo are starring in their first TV project as husband and wife, 'Sanggang Dikit FR.' During the series' grand media conference, the married Kapuso couple said that while they enjoy working together, they understand they need to maintain professionalism on set. Jennylyn said, 'Kasi 'pag sa bahay, iba 'yon. Nasa bahay kami bilang mga magulang, mag-asawa. Pagdating sa set, mga artista kami.' (It's different at home. When we're at home, we are parents, we are a married couple. When we're on set, we are artists.) The Ultimate Star added, 'Kahit na nag-a-away kami or may problema kami na dala-dala, hindi pwedeng makita sa set. Kailangan gawin niyo 'yung mga trabaho niyo muna. Pagdating sa bahay, 'saka niyo pag-usapan. (If we are fighting or if we have a problem we cannot bring that on set. We need to do our work first. Then we figure things out when we get home.) According to Jennylyn, this is who they are as people and as artists, adding they also give each other constructive criticism at work. 'Hindi na kami nahihiya sabihin sa isa't isa 'yung 'pwede mo 'tong gawin' o kaya ano, 'parang hindi okay 'yung ginawa mo. Dapat ganito.'' Meanwhile, Dennis said there is no 'sawaan' between them even if they spend all their time together at home and at work. 'Siguro 'pag mahal niyo 'yung isa't isa, kahit gano na kayo katagal magkasama—kahit magkasama kayo sa trabaho, magkasama kayo sa bahay—kung talagang gusto mo siya makasama, parang 'pag nandun 'yung pagmamahal, never ka magsasawa eh,' he said. (I think if you love each other, even if you're always together at home and at work, you don't get tire of each other.) Dennis added that it is important for them to have quality time at work or at home, and to go on dates or trips. Jennylyn said, 'Para sa 'kin okay na magkasama kami sa trabaho, kasi ano eh, clingy ako eh.' In 'Sanggang-Dikit FR,' Jennylyn Mercado stars as Roberta "Bobby" Enriquez, a bubbly yet highly competitive police woman. Dennis Trillo plays Antonio "Tonyo" Guerrero, a skilled policeman who loves to improvise when solving crimes. Both burdened by personal losses, Bobby and Tony are brought together when a high-profile murder happens involving people who are very close to them. In February, Jennylyn and Dennis went target shooting in preparation for the project. Jennylyn started shooting for the series the same month and admitted that she felt the jitters. According to the couple, physical scenes are a challenge. 'Sanggang-Dikit FR' premieres on June 23 at 8:50 p.m. on GMA Prime. The series is set to shoot scenes in Europe and the United Arab Emirates. — LA, GMA Integrated News
