Jared Goff and wife Christen Harper celebrates birth of baby girl — Meet Romy Isabelle Goff
Jared Goff and wife Christen Harper welcome baby girl (Getty Images) Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is entering a new and more personal chapter of his life — fatherhood. Goff and his wife, Christen Harper, joyfully welcomed their first child, a daughter named Romy Isabelle Goff. The couple shared the heartwarming news on Instagram with a series of black-and-white photographs, showcasing tender family moments. Their announcement, just weeks before the start of NFL training camp, has captured the attention of both fans and fellow NFL families. Jared Goff's fatherhood journey begins as wife Christen Harper delivers baby girl ahead of NFL season In a coordinated Instagram post on Tuesday, Jared and Christen introduced baby Romy to the world. The post included intimate moments — a tiny newborn hand clutching Christen's finger, Jared cradling his daughter, and the new family of three sharing a peaceful moment in bed. Jared proudly wore a "Girl Dad" hat, already embracing his new role. Christen, overcome with emotion, shared in her Instagram Story, "Heart is bursting into a million pieces!!!!!" The background song she chose, 'Green Eyes' by Coldplay, subtly hinted at one of Romy's features, adding an extra personal touch to the reveal. Although they kept the exact birth date under wraps, the couple's joy was unmistakable. NFL WAGs and friends rushed to the comments with congratulatory notes. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it legal?

Jared proposed in 2022 during a getaway with friends, and the two tied the knot in a scenic Ojai, California wedding on June 22, 2024. Just months later, their dream of starting a family became reality. Back in February, the pair revealed to PEOPLE during the NFL Honors that they were expecting. Jared shared, 'I'm looking forward to becoming a dad,' while Christen added, 'We're just excited to enjoy this special time together and just soak up every second.' Goff had long envisioned himself as a father. 'I've always dreamt of becoming a dad. Now that it's real, I know it'll add a new perspective to life, and it'll be great,' he told PEOPLE. As the NFL season looms, Goff has just enough time to enjoy his first days of fatherhood before returning to the field, where he'll once again balance the roles of leader — both on the gridiron and now, at home.

Woman Finds Perfume in the Apartment After Signing Her New Lease. How She Honors the Late Tenant Goes Viral (Exclusive)
After moving into a rent-stabilized apartment in Queens, Jesse Lynn Hart found two vintage perfume bottles left behind by the late tenant who had lived there for more than four decades, and she asked her landlord to let her keep them She captured the moment of spraying the scent in the empty apartment on TikTok, reflecting on the shared experience of girlhood The response deepened Jesse Lynn's sense of community and connection, inspiring her to engage more with her neighbors and cherish the small ways we honor those who came before usWhen Jesse Lynn Harte moved into her new Astoria apartment, she wasn't expecting to inherit a legacy. But as she stood in the quiet, freshly painted space, alone for the first time, she sprayed a vintage perfume into the air — and felt an invisible bond with the woman who lived there before her. 'I once tried to run away, but I was like 4 and we lived on a cul-de-sac off of a dirt road,' Jesse Lynn tells PEOPLE, recalling her childhood dream of moving to New York. Growing up in a tiny New Hampshire town, her life has been shaped by a deep desire to make it to the city that never sleeps — and now, that dream has finally become real. Jesse Lynn had lived in the building for years before moving into the unit, often crossing paths with the elderly woman who had called it home for over four decades. 'She was fairly old and didn't speak too much English, but we got along and I would help her carry up her groceries and her bags and everything like that,' she says. When the tenant passed away, Jesse Lynn was offered a rare opportunity to move into a rent-stabilized apartment in one of New York's most competitive neighborhoods. The moment was filled with conflicting emotions, a mix of gratitude and solemn reflection. 'When I did the math, it made me emotional to think about and realized she'd been here for over 40 years,' Jesse Lynn shares. 'She was probably a little bit older than me when she moved in... it was a full circle moment to be like, wow, she lived such a long and beautiful life in this apartment, and I hope I get to do that too.' As she toured the vacant unit, Jesse Lynn noticed something unexpected — two vintage bottles of perfume still sitting on a shelf. 'I think they were using it to cover the smell of construction because most of her belongings had been tossed,' she says. 'But I didn't want them to toss her perfume. I thought that it would be special to have something of her here forever.' It was that simple but deeply sentimental request to keep the late tenant's perfume that sparked a viral moment on TikTok. The video, which shows Jesse Lynn misting the perfume in her empty apartment, is overlaid with her own words: 'She was just a girl here once, too.' In that quiet moment, her act of remembrance resonated with thousands of viewers who saw in it something universal. 'The internet helped me figure out what the scents are actually,' Jesse Lynn says, laughing as she describes the detective work that followed. 'One of them is an Amway perfume... it was discontinued in 1983. The other one had the label on it, and that one actually smells really good.' She filmed the video just after signing the lease, standing alone in the space that was no longer someone else's, but not yet entirely hers. 'That was actually moments after I signed the lease and the realtor had left, and I was alone for the first time in this new apartment,' she tells PEOPLE. 'I felt, I mean, it sounds so cheesy, but I really felt like she was there with me.' It was a moment filled with reverence due to the perfume's symbolism. 'I'm so sentimental and I'm such a girlhood kind of girl that it felt really special to bring a piece of her back into the apartment before bringing anything of mine in here,' Jesse Lynn says. For her, honoring that invisible thread of girlhood was at the heart of it all. 'We as a society talk about girlhood so much right now, but I don't know what it's defined as other than a feeling between girls,' she reflects. 'It really is the girls that get it, get it, and it's a bond that you share with other women in your life.' Even something as simple as perfume can carry that feeling across generations. 'We all have our scents, we all have our perfumes, we all have our favorite nail polish color,' Jesse Lynn says. 'Not to trivialize what it means to be a woman, but those are special aspects of being a woman that I cherish.' Though she doesn't have a signature scent herself, Jesse Lynn marks each chapter of her life with a new one. 'Every time that I go through something like a life change or an exciting step or a birthday or when a contract ends, I buy a new scent,' she shares. Now settled into the space, Jesse Lynn says the apartment has come to mean more to her than she ever expected. 'This is the first time that I've moved into somewhere and said, this is the last time I will ever move within New York City,' she says. 'Like, I will have this apartment for the rest of my life.' She imagines her future unfolding in the same rooms that once belonged to a stranger who became a quiet part of her story. 'I hope I have a daughter and I hope she'll take it over,' she says, tearing up at the thought. 'And the only time that I'll ever move out of this apartment is like, if my kids need it to live here with their kids, you know?' The moment has changed how Jesse Lynn sees her neighborhood, too. 'I have always thought that the community in my neighborhood is very special,' she says. 'I know everyone at my coffee shop by name. I know the local flower guys at the deli. They are obsessed with my dog.' That sense of connection has only deepened since moving into the apartment. 'They'll know my babies too,' Jesse Lynn says. 'They'll know my kids.' Still, Jesse Lynn admits she feels a tinge of guilt for not knowing more about the woman whose life she now honors. 'It makes me wanna engage more with my direct neighbors and know more about them,' she says. 'It's so crazy to me. Like people are living entire lives feet away.' She laughs at her own curiosity, but it's that same openness that made this story possible. 'There's someone on that side of that wall that can be living an entirely unique experience from anywhere in the world that moved to New York City,' Jesse Lynn says. 'And like everyone has such unique stories, and I just wanna know them all.' Her boyfriend, a lifelong New Yorker, doesn't quite share her enthusiasm. 'He and his New Yorker friends, they mind their business,' she says, laughing. 'And I'm the one from the middle of nowhere. I'm like, I'll sign something on the street, do you have a clipboard? I'll put my name down.' Still, it's that friendliness that allowed Jesse Lynn to build a bond with her elderly neighbor in the first place. 'I knew the neighbor who lived here because I was always helping her with her bags and talking to her and getting her mail for her,' she says. 'And so I think even more so now I'm gonna be battling against my boyfriend. He's going to have to be dragging me down the street as I talk to everyone.' When her TikTok went viral, Jesse Lynn didn't expect such a wave of kindness. 'It has been so nice that people have been nice to me on the internet for a change,' she says. 'Like the internet is the wild, wild west, and people can be so cruel.' But this time, the reaction was something else entirely. 'This is the first time ever where something has gone viral and the overwhelming majority is people having the same sort of sentimental experience that I am,' she tells PEOPLE. 'Recognizing the beauty of life and the sentimental full circle nature of it all.'

She's still amazed at the reach of the story, often clicking on commenters' profiles just to see who's out there. 'Everyone from every different walk of life is celebrating the moment that I shared with my previous neighbor,' Jesse Lynn says. For her, the moment has always been about something small but deeply meaningful. 'It's recognizing that we're all human and we're all on this planet together and just trying our best,' she says. 'To take a second and appreciate a small moment — that's all it was.' Jesse Lynn didn't set out to go viral. She just wanted to remember someone. 'Let's think about her. Let's pay respect to her,' she says. 'I think we all want someone to do that for us. I think we all want to be remembered and celebrated when we leave this planet and have our legacy carried on.'

Dad Throws His 7-Year-Old Son Off Cliff to Teach Him a Lesson About Facing Fears
Garrett Gee, known as The Bucket List Family creator on social media, shared a video of himself throwing his 7-year-old son off a cliff in Lake Powell The father of five recognized that "most people won't love" his parenting style on cliff jumping, but went on to explain his thought process with a lengthy caption alongside the clip Gee made clear that he prioritized "safety" and stressed the importance of teaching his kids that they "can do hard things"Everyone has their own parenting style. As for Garrett Gee, the popular influencer best known as "The Bucket List Family" founder, his parenting style may take some by surprise as illustrated in a recent video shared on Instagram that features him throwing his 7-year-old son off a cliff in an attempt to help him conquer his fears. "Most people won't love how we teach our kids how to cliff jump," Gee writes in text over the video, which has racked up over 3.5M views since it was posted on Sunday, July 13. The clip shows Garrett with his son, Calihan, standing on a massive rock formation in Lake Powell and seemingly pep talking him about the jump into the water down below. Ultimately, he picks his little one up and tosses him off the cliff as he makes the plunge. After he surfaced, Calihan — who screamed on the way down, but popped up with a smile on his face — was joined by his dad, who jumped in beside him and greeted him with a thumbs up and a smile. The young boy was also met with cheers from onlookers supporting him from afar. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. The father of three paired the video with a lengthy caption that explains his decision to throw his son off the cliff, where he clarified that his post is "NOT parental advice" nor "something [he advises] you try." He also made clear that this tactic isn't one they've done with their other two kids. "Each kid is quite different so the way we parent, discipline, and teach HOW TO CLIFF JUMP is quite different :) For sure 1st priority is safety. 2nd is learning that YOU CAN DO HARD THINGS. 3rd is HAVE FUN :)," Garrett began in the caption. "Well speaking of the top priority, safety... We took our youngest Cali to a cliff height that we knew he would be safe. Really the biggest danger would be if he hesitated, didn't jump far out, and fell down the cliff side," he continued. To be "extra safe," Garrett said he "threw him" because "he wanted to jump but was not feeling confident," adding, "Eventually a baby eagle needs to leave the nest... or be tossed out of the nest ;) and learn HE CAN FLY!" He concluded, "But warning : teaching your kids to be brave starts to backfire when they become older and begin jumping from heights that you don't even dare!! /// BE SAFE OUT THERE! YOU CAN DO HARD THINGS! HAVE FUN!" The comment section was filled with mixed thoughts and opinions from the 3M-plus viewers who watched the viral clip. Many also asked questions, to which Garrett replied with further explanation. "Honest question, no judgement. Did he know he was going to be thrown?" inquired one user. The content creator replied, "YES. He had the choice to climb down, jump himself, or have me throw him. He chose to be thrown. But regardless it was still scary for him. Scary for me too because I need to make sure he doesn't cling onto me and hit the cliffs and also make sure he hits the water feet first. Kinda tricky but I feel like it's part of the dad job description ;)." "The scream says it all. He's not ready. I hate this for him," wrote another user. "He chose to be thrown and they have built that trust all his life ♥️," commented a third. "Love that you all are confident enough in your parenting to show this!" wrote a fourth, and a fifth commented, "My father did the same to me 😂 I loved it and remember it until now! 🔥." Cliff jumping is just the latest extreme activity the Gees have introduced to their children and shared on their social media platform since creating The Bucket List Family nearly 10 years ago in August 2015. (Others include surfing with sharks and interacting with an octopus, for example). The content creators, who describe themselves as "5 family travel journalist," sold everything one decade ago before leaving their home for a journey around the world together. They launched an Instagram and a YouTube channel under the moniker that's amassed millions of followers to date.

Right-to-Die Activist Ends Life by Starving Herself to ‘Protect My Children From Seeing Me Choke and Struggle to Breathe'
Two years ago, Emma Bray, 42, was diagnosed with a terminal neurological condition called motor neuron disease She decided to end her life by starving herself, hoping to spare her children from witnessing her decline any further The mom of two announced her own death on Instagram on July 14 alongside a final photo of herself lying in a hospice bedA British mother made the tough decision to starve herself to death to spare her children from witnessing the devastating effects of her terminal neurological condition. Two years ago, Emma Bray from Barnstaple, England, was diagnosed with motor neuron disease (MND). MND is a group of neurological disorders that gradually destroy the motor neurons, according to the Cleveland Clinic. These nerve cells are found in the brain and spinal cord, and they control muscle movement for activities like breathing, speaking, swallowing and walking. ALS — also known as Lou Gehrig's disease — is the most common MND. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. 'I've had four different health professionals tell me I've got the worst disease possible,' she told The Mirror in May, using an eye-gazing machine to speak. 'I now feel I am at the stage where my quality of life is very affected, I can no longer use any of my limbs. My talking is severely affected, and I struggle to eat, and it's getting harder to breathe. I am only really comfortable in bed, and social visits are exhausting.' 'I have carers multiple times a day, can't be left alone overnight and can no longer do any basic tasks,' the 42-year-old continued. 'I can't scratch an itch, push up my glasses, or move a bed sheet if I am too hot or cold. I feel like I am losing the essence of me. I am still so loved, but I can't be myself, and I see that grief on everyone's faces." is now available in the Apple App Store! Download it now for the most binge-worthy celeb content, exclusive video clips, astrology updates and more! Bray — who actively campaigned for Dignity in Dying — was an advocate for the Assisted Dying Bill, which would allow adults in the UK who are terminally ill to have the choice of medical aid in dying. She said, if it were passed, it would've prevented her loved ones suffering for two years with anticipatory grief. 'Imagine seeing your children crying and upset and not be able to hug them or curl up in bed and wipe their tears away,' she told the outlet, referring to her children, age 15 and 14. 'This is hands down the thing I hate the most about motor neurone disease. It's taken my children's mum from them little by little.' So, Bray decided to end her life using the 'voluntarily stopping eating or drinking' practice, also known as VSED. According to nonprofit Compassion & Choices — which provides resources, training and support for those navigating end-of-life health care — VSED is 'when a mentally capable individual decides to control their own dying by making a conscious decision to refuse foods and fluids of any kind.' 'VSED is not an easy death, but with the current law in England, this is the only way I can have control over my death,' Bray explained. 'I want to protect my children from seeing me choke and struggle to breathe. I don't want to die, but I am going to and have come to terms with my impending death, and I know I want to die surrounded by loved ones, music and laughter, not in an emergency way after further decline.' 'My last bit of parenting I can do is to limit the suffering and trauma they have to witness,' she added. 'I made a promise to myself that I wanted to wait to see my daughter finish high school and my son grow up a little so I can picture the man he will become.' ! In her final months, she told the outlet that she's urging members of parliament to help others 'die with peace.' On Monday, July 14, Bray — from her @stupid_mnd account — posted on Instagram, announcing her own death alongside a final photo of herself lying in a hospice bed overlooking the trees. 'If you are reading this then I've finished my final spin round the sun,' she wrote. 'I've lived a very good life, surrounded by love, music and laughter and I want this to continue in my memory. Rather than shed a tear (or whilst you do) please plant a tree or call a friend, do a random act of kindness or take time to watch a sunset. For moments of doubt please ask 'what would Emma do?' and run with that probably inappropriate answer.' 'Hug everyone a little tighter and love openly,' she ended. 'Please surround those who were closest to me with love, time and patience. And to quote Frank Turner - Remember you get to dance another day but now you have to dance for one more of us. Love you , bye.' Read the original article on People
