Shailene Woodley, Lucas Bravo go Instagram official with relationship
Shailene Woodley, Lucas Bravo go Instagram official with relationship Show Caption Hide Caption Psychologist explains how to manage ending a close friendship Breaking up with a partner can be difficult, but losing a close friend can sometimes feel much worse. Dr. Ali Mattu explains how to move forward. The early signs are in, and meteorologists are predicting a hard launch summer. Lucas Bravo is taking the season seriously, heading to social media April 30 to treat fans to an Instagram-official announcement of his relationship with fellow actor Shailene Woodley. The "Emily in Paris" heartthrob posted a carousel of photos, featuring one of the couple holding hands, one of the two sitting on the ground together while attending the Stagecoach music festival, and several of Woodley by herself enjoying the sights in nearby Slab City, California. Shailene Woodley says she drank to cope with hunger, goes viral yet again "Howdy Slab City," Bravo, 37, titled the photo dump. The unincorporated California territory is just a few miles from Indio, where the Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals − both celebrity-packed affairs − are hosted. USA TODAY has reached out to reps for Bravo and Woodley for comment. Fans first began to speculate that Woodley, 33, was involved with Bravo when the pair were spotted together in Paris in March, in what appeared to be a PDA-filled outing. Neither part of the duo has been particularly vocal about the new entanglement, though Bravo did offer a subtle confirmation earlier this month, responding to a question from People about the relationship by saying: "Yeah, I'm really happy." Woodley, who was previously engaged to football player Aaron Rodgers, has yet to post Bravo to her own grid. Woodley, who first rose to fame as the lead in the book-to-movie adaptation of the popular young adult novel "Divergent," has since become a mainstay on the film screen, and was recently tapped to join the cast of Hulu's thriller series "Paradise." Bravo, best known for playing hunky Parisian chef and key love interest Gabriel on Netflix's "Emily in Paris," is an up-and-coming star. He has also appeared in several romantic comedies, including "The Honeymoon" and "Ticket to Paradise."

Australia's Tallest Skyscraper Plans Falter
Howdy, Rich Henderson in Bloomberg's Melbourne bureau. Here's the latest: Today's must-reads: • Australia's tallest tower plans falter • Super funds indirect exposure to tariff war • Australia's RBA says May is 'opportune' to revisit policy In 2020, a Melbourne-based developer, Beulah, proposed a A$2.7 billion project to build Australia's tallest skyscraper, but five years on, the project still doesn't have a builder due to soaring construction costs. Australia's pension funds control a combined A$4.2 trillion, a lot of which is held in offshore assets with direct and indirect exposure to Trump's tariff war.

The Sports Report: Slumping Lakers lose third in a row
Howdy, I'm your host, Houston Mitchell. Let's get right to the news. From Dan Woike: When the Lakers were playing their best basketball in February, they were fueled by the energizing power of belief, the knowledge that they could win on any night. Even when they weren't at their best, a mixture of pace, toughness and execution got the Lakers through the finish line. The last of those three — execution — was lacking more than anything Thursday, and it cost them. In a loss Monday in Brooklyn, the Lakers didn't play hard. This wasn't that. This time, the ineffectiveness stemmed from something else. 'Play hard and play smart. You gotta do both,' Lakers coach JJ Redick said after a 126-106 Thursday loss to the Bucks. 'And we played hard.' Now, as they slog through March with the bulk of their frontcourt in Los Angeles rehabbing injuries, the tank looks much emptier, the joy much more fleeting and the belief, at least temporarily, disappearing. Continue reading here Lakers box score NBA scores NBA standings From Ryan Kartje: Desmond Claude sprinted as fast as he could down the hardwood, knowing the season was in his hands and precious time was ticking off the clock. He already tried once before to tie it, flying into the fray for a floater that bounced off the back iron. But a missed free throw gave Claude hope as he came flying across halfcourt, only for his handoff pass to be snatched amid a crashing collection of bodies. Suddenly, after such a gutsy fight, any hope of USC's season surviving had slipped away in a 76-71 loss to Purdue. The season-ending steal was not without controversy. Wesley Yates threw his hands up in disbelief. Coach Eric Musselman whispered expletives under his breath, shaking his head. All game, USC (16-17) had held in a deadlock with Purdue (22-10), refusing to let up. Even as the roars of Purdue fans echoed with each back-and-forth run, USC kept coming back. They fought through early foul trouble from Claude, who finished with 18 points, and early struggles with Yates, who had 13 points. Continue reading here USC box score From Jack Harris: The smile got a little bigger, the emotions a little deeper, the meaning a little greater the more Dave Roberts looked around the room. In the wake of last year's World Series title, in which Roberts led the Dodgers to the second championship of his decorated tenure, the veteran manager spent weeks basking in the triumph. He sprayed champagne in the Bronx. He danced with Ice Cube the day of the parade. He rejoiced with friends and family who watched him endure a season he described as 'the most trying' of his nine years with the Dodgers, but also 'the most satisfying.' Then, he got an invitation he never expected. In early December, Roberts returned to the place of his birth, traveling to the Japanese city of Naha on the small Pacific island of Okinawa to receive an official recognition from the municipality's local government. 'Winning the World Series with the Los Angeles Dodgers, for the city of Los Angeles, was incredible,' a beaming and appreciative Roberts said during his address at the ceremony. 'But the final piece for me was to come to Naha to be with my people and celebrate with you guys, together.' 'Everything I do with my job,' he later added, 'I take the Okinawan people with me.' Continue reading here Shaikin: Dodgers fans in Japan can get a break on high ticket prices for team's visit From Gary Klein: Davante Adams' arrival in Los Angeles to play for the Rams has roots at the Kentucky Derby. Several years ago the three-time All-Pro receiver and Rams coach Sean McVay chatted at Churchill Downs, where McVay told Adams how much he admired his work. 'He was just like, 'Look man, I've got a lot of respect for your game,'' Adams said Thursday, ''and it would be amazing at some point to be able to team up, join forces and figure it out together on the same team.'' This month when Adams hit free agency for the first time, McVay stepped up the recruiting pitch. He sent Adams a few highlight tapes of the receiver that he personally narrated and communicated with him constantly while Adams was traveling in Japan.

Kevin Fiala had a goal and an assist, Warren Foegele scored, and the Kings won their fourth in a row following a season-high five-game losing streak. Charlie Lindgren made 24 saves for the Capitals, who had won five straight. Alex Ovechkin did not have a shot on goal despite playing nearly 19 minutes with 8:41 of it on the power play.
