Liverpool right-back confirms he's ready for new season
© IMAGO - Jeremie Frimpong Liverpool Frimpong looks ready Of course, the situation the new signings find themselves in is going to be particularly difficult to get to grips with. But Liverpool are known to be incredibly welcoming and Arne Slot will be doing his utmost to make sure they feel like valued members of the team, and the players' professionalism won't be in doubt. Advertisement On the Red side of Merseyside, we are all a big family and the support network that the newcomers will be joining when pre-season takes place will only be getting bigger. Before he makes the step to join the rest of the Liverpool squad, Jeremie Frimpong has been pictured working hard on his fitness, completing a variety of training drills to get up to speed. This is extremely positive news because adapting to Premier League football and to the intense playing style that Arne Slot operates with is going to be challenging initially, so getting a head start is going to be key for any of the new recruits if they want to bed themselves into the team from the off. Advertisement The weeks before the season starts and the pre-season games will be integral bonding experiences for the group, be it on a sporting level to develop that team chemistry, or on a personal level, so that everyone feels comfortable around each other as they will be working in close proximity all the time. Of course, it can be easy to get over excited and at a time where everything still feels sombre, so soon after Jota's passing, this optimistic update is valued, but there will be a long way to go until everything starts to feel somewhat normal again, although for some, that is still tough to imagine.

Téa Leoni marries Tim Daly in private New York ceremony after decade-long relationship
Téa Leoni and Tim Daly are officially married. A representative for Leoni confirmed to PEOPLE that the longtime couple exchanged vows in an intimate family ceremony in New York on Saturday, July 12. The couple met in 2014 while filming the CBS political drama Madam Secretary, where they portrayed on-screen spouses Elizabeth and Henry McCord. The series ran for six seasons, airing from September 2014 to December 2019. Their real-life romance began the same year, shortly after Leoni finalized her divorce from actor David Duchovny, to whom she was married for 17 years. Their relationship gradually became public in mid-2014, with Leoni attending Daly's performance of Red in Vermont over the Fourth of July weekend. By December, PEOPLE confirmed the two had quietly begun dating during the summer. They made their red carpet debut as a couple at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in April 2015 in Washington, D.C., where they were joined by journalist Bob Schieffer and former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. Daly jokingly told Bloomberg TV, 'We're gonna be a hot table,' referring to their notable dinner companions. Fellow Madam Secretary actor Geoffrey Arend later told PEOPLE the cast was surprised when they first learned about the off-screen relationship, as it had been kept discreet on set. He praised the couple, saying, 'Tim's the best — they're really good together.' True to their private nature, Leoni and Daly chose to formalize their longtime relationship with a quiet family celebration surrounded by loved ones.

Téa Leoni and Tim Daly Married: Madam Secretary Co-Stars Say 'I Do' in Private New York Wedding
Téa Leoni and Tim Daly are officially married. The Madam Secretary co-stars, turned real-life couple, said 'I do' in a private wedding ceremony in New York on July 12, 2025. The ceremony was small and intimate, with only immediate family in attendance, Leoni's representative confirmed to PEOPLE. The couple's journey to marriage began back in 2014 when Téa Leoni and Tim Daly first met on the set of CBS's Madam Secretary. On the show, they played Elizabeth and Henry McCord, a married couple navigating politics and family life. The series ran for six seasons, from September 2014 to December 2019, and their on-screen chemistry soon turned into an off-screen romance. In December 2014, PEOPLE confirmed that Téa Leoni and Tim Daly were quietly dating. Leoni had been spotted supporting Daly at his performance of Red at the Dorset Theatre in Vermont over the Fourth of July weekend that year. The relationship news came shortly after Leoni finalized her divorce from actor David Duchovny, whom she was married to for 17 years. Making it public at the White House dinner The Téa Leoni and Tim Daly love story went public when they made their red carpet debut together at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in April 2015. They were joined by journalist Bob Schieffer and former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. Daly joked to Bloomberg TV at the time, 'We're gonna be a hot table,' referring to the high-profile group. Schieffer also shared, 'I called Téa and said, 'How would you like to come?' And I said, you know, we'd love to have you bring Tim along.' Even their Madam Secretary co-stars were surprised by the news. Geoffrey Arend told PEOPLE, 'I heard a rumor about it, and everyone was like, 'No, no way!' And I'm like, 'Maybe.' Nobody really knew. You don't want to go to your boss and be like, 'Hey, so who are you dating?' So now I think we're all really protective.' Arend added, 'He couldn't be a nicer guy. Tim's the best, they're really good together.' The Téa Leoni and Tim Daly wedding marks a new chapter for the beloved Madam Secretary real-life couple. After more than a decade together, their fans are happy to see Elizabeth and Henry McCord's story continue off-screen. The simple New York ceremony is proof that their bond is just as strong in real life as it was on TV.
