<p>Prince Harry has been in court a lot lately, having filed multiple high-profile lawsuits against the publishers of media outlets like the <em>Daily Mail</em>.</p>



<p>But the Duke of Sussex will soon find himself on the other side of the equation, as he&#8217;s now being sued by Sentebale, the charity that he helped co-found in 2006.</p>



<p>Yes, the charity&#8217;s current board is accusing Harry of libel and slander, one year after he <a href="https://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2025/03/prince-harry-defends-unthinkable-decision-to-step-down-from-charity-honoring-princess-diana/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">stepped down as the organization&#8217;s royal patron</a>.</p>

<p>According to <a href="https://pagesix.com/2026/04/10/celebrity-news/prince-harry-sued-for-libel-by-his-former-charity-sentebale/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Page Six</a>, top brass at Sentebale filed the defamation claim against Harry at London&#8217;s High Court on March 24.</p>



<p>The organization is also suing Mark Dyer, who served as a trustee of Sentebale before he and Harry stepped down after clashing with CEO Dr. Sophie Chandauka.</p>



<p>Chandauka has accused Harry of asking the organization to defend his wife, Meghan Markle, following bad press surrounding a photo op at an event hosted by Sentebale.</p>



<p>“I said no, we’re not setting a precedent by which we become an extension of the Sussex PR machine,” Chandauka <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/8fc9561d-c145-4542-a32a-1707573c012b" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">told the Financial Times</a> in a March 2025 interview.</p>



<p>A follow-up investigation uncovered no “widespread or systemic bullying, harassment, misogyny or misogynoir” at the organization.</p>



<p>Harry issued a statement when he and co-founder Prince Seeiso of Lesotho stepped down, and he did not deny that he had clashed with Chandauka.</p>

<p>“With heavy hearts, we have resigned for our roles as patrons of the organization until further notice, in support of and solidarity with the board of trustees,” the princes wrote, adding:</p>



<p>“It is devastating that the relationship between the charity’s trustees and the chair of the board broke down beyond repair.”</p>



<p>Harry and Seeiso explained that they will not cut ties with the charity entirely, explaining, “Although we may no longer be patrons, we will always be its founders, and we will never forget what this charity is capable of achieving when it is in the right care.”</p>



<p>They went on to “categorically reject” Sentebale’s “offensive and damaging claims.”</p>

<p>“It is extraordinary that charitable funds are now being used to pursue legal action against the very people who built and supported the organisation for nearly two decades, rather than being directed to the communities the charity was created to serve,” a spokesperson for the pair continued.</p>



<p>Harry stated that he was “heartbroken” to step away from the organization that he founded to honor his mother, but he added that he was in an “untenable situation” due to a conflict at Senetable.</p>



<p>“What’s transpired is unthinkable. We are in shock that we have to do this,” said Harry and Seeiso in a joint statement.</p>



<p>We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.</p>

<p>It’s a time of change for the Duggar family.</p>



<p>Most of those changes are bad, such as <a href="https://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2026/04/joseph-duggar-solitary-confinement-explanation/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Joseph Duggar’s arrest on child molestation charges</a>.</p>



<p>But some of those changes are just downright unexpected &#8212; including the news that Derick Dillard has joined the Marine Corps.</p>


<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="783" src="https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-10-at-2.27.39-PM-1024x783.png" alt="Derick Dillard has officially joined the Marine Corps." class="wp-image-552623" srcset="https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-10-at-2.27.39-PM-1024x783.png 1024w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-10-at-2.27.39-PM-300x229.png 300w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-10-at-2.27.39-PM-768x587.png 768w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-10-at-2.27.39-PM-960x734.png 960w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-10-at-2.27.39-PM-1080x826.png 1080w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-10-at-2.27.39-PM-1200x918.png 1200w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-10-at-2.27.39-PM.png 1488w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 20px), 720px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Derick Dillard has officially joined the Marine Corps.<span class="image-caption-credit"> (Jill Dillard)</span></figcaption></figure>



<p>Yes, it&#8217;s not the most common career move for 37-year-old husbands and fathers, but Derick took the pledge, and he will soon be shipping off to basic training.</p>



<p>News of this surprising development comes courtesy of his Jill Duggar&#8217;s blog:</p>



<p>&#8220;Derick has joined the Marine Corps!&#8221; <a href="https://www.dillardfamily.com/our-next-big-adventure/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jill wrote</a>, adding:</p>



<p>&#8220;He has been selected for Marine Corps Officer Candidate School (OCS)!&#8221; Jill wrote this week along with a photo (above) of Derick pledging in as his three sons looked on.</p>



<p>&#8220;He ships out for active duty to Quantico, VA in a few weeks! Lord willing he will commission as an officer at the end of OCS and then go on to a couple of other trainings before getting his assignment as a Marine Corps JAG officer!</p>

<p>Longtime Duggar fans will recall that <a href="https://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2022/04/derick-dillard-is-finally-a-lawyer/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Derick worked as a lawyer</a> for several years before leaving his job as a prosecuting attorney/assistant district attorney in Oklahoma.</p>



<p>Now he hopes to become a Marine Corps JAG></p>



<p>&#8220;Becoming a military JAG officer has been something Derick has wanted to do for a long time and he even received a recruiting letter last year from the Marine Corps, but the timing just wasn’t right for our family, and then by the time we were ready, we weren’t sure the opportunity would still be available,&#8221; </p>



<p>Judge Advocate General– is “a commissioned officer and qualified attorney who provides legal services, advice, and counsel to Marine Corps commands and personnel.”</p>



<p>He&#8217;ll spend 10 weeks at Quantico, Virginia, to attend Marine Corps Officer Candidate School (OSC), after which, Jill and the kids will move to VA to be with him.</p>

<p>At some point, the family will relocate to Rhode Island for additional training.</p>



<p>&#8220;After starting the process in early March, we have been surprised how quickly things have come together and the doors that have continued to open, so much so that we can’t deny God is leading us in this direction,&#8221; Jill wrote, adding:</p>



<p>&#8220;Lord willing, after Derick’s 10 weeks of intense training at OCS, Jill and the kids will move to join him in Virginia, and then Rhode Island for the remainder of his training.</p>



<p>&#8220;We’d appreciate your prayers for health and strength for Derick as he prepares for and trains at OCS, and for the rest of us as we survive without him for a bit and prepare for new family transitions!&#8221;</p>



<p>For all the Duggars&#8217; patriotism, Derick is the first member of the family to join the military.</p>



<p>Interestingly, as <a href="https://www.theashleysrealityroundup.com/2026/04/09/former-counting-on-star-jill-duggar-dillard-announces-her-husband-derick-has-joined-the-marine-corps/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Ashley&#8217;s Reality Roundup</a> reports, none of the Duggars has commented on Jill&#8217;s posts announcing Derick&#8217;s new gig.</p>



<p>But to be fair, they have other things on their minds these days.</p>

<p>Earlier today, we reported that <a href="https://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2026/04/hunter-biden-challenges-eric-trump-don-jr-to-cage-fight-as-rest-of-world-struggles-to-take-us-seriously/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hunter Biden had challenged Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump to a cage fight</a>.</p>



<p>And if you thought that would be the wildest political story of the day, then you&#8217;re clearly a newcomer to life in 2026.</p>



<p>Donald Trump&#8217;s Truth Social has been a hotbed of insanity this week, and his latest post contains uncensored video of a brutal murder.</p>

<p>&#8220;An Illegal Alien Criminal from Haiti, who was released into our Country by the WORST President in History, Crooked Joe Biden, and the Radical Democrats in Congress, just beat an innocent woman to death with a hammer at a gas station in Florida,&#8221; Trump wrote in his post, adding:</p>



<p>“The video of her brutal slaying is one of the most vicious things you will ever see. </p>



<p>“The Biden Administration granted him, and all Haitians, ‘Temporary Protective Status,’ a massively abused and fraudulent program which my Administration is working to terminate.&#8221;</p>



<p>The post comes just one day after Trump blasted Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, and other conservative pundits in a lengthy tirade.</p>


<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="995" height="1024" src="https://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-10-at-12.29.46-PM-995x1024.png" alt="Donald Trump unleashed on his former conservative media allies in a recent rant." class="wp-image-552606" srcset="https://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-10-at-12.29.46-PM-995x1024.png 995w, https://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-10-at-12.29.46-PM-292x300.png 292w, https://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-10-at-12.29.46-PM-768x790.png 768w, https://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-10-at-12.29.46-PM-933x960.png 933w, https://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-10-at-12.29.46-PM-1050x1080.png 1050w, https://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-10-at-12.29.46-PM.png 1378w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 20px), 720px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Donald Trump unleashed on his former conservative media allies in a recent rant.<span class="image-caption-credit"> (Truth Social)</span></figcaption></figure>



<p>Many believe that Trump is attempting to distract from recent policy failures like the war in Iran and his administration&#8217;s handling of <a href="https://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2026/04/woody-allen-jeffrey-epstein-friendship-photos/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the Epstein files</a> by reminding his base about his hardline stance on immigration.</p>



<p>“This one killing should be enough for these Radical Judges to STOP impeding my Administration’s Immigration Policies, and allow us to END THIS SCAM ONCE AND FOR ALL,&#8221; Trump continued, adding:</p>



<p>“Please say a prayer for this innocent woman’s family. We will ensure quick and severe JUSTICE is served in this case!”</p>



<p>Ironically, Trump concluded by warning his followers not to watch the footage:</p>

<p>&#8220;I don’t recommend you watch this tape, because it is so terrible, but felt I had an obligation to put it up so that people can see what Democrats are protecting, and wanting to come into our Country, even now, after all we’ve been through,&#8221; he wrote, adding:</p>



<p>&#8220;Again, viewer discretion advised — Not for children!&#8221; </p>



<p>Very little is known about the case, aside from what Trump said in his post.</p>



<p>We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.</p>

<p>Just days after <a href="https://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2024/12/nick-lachey-jessica-simpson-divorce/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson&#8217;s</a> unplanned reunion on a flight, he&#8217;s talking about old memories. <em>Older </em>memories.</p>



<p>In the &#8217;90s, his boy band went on tour for the first time.</p>



<p>At the time, the record label gave them a guide to the age of consent laws in every state.</p>



<p>Lachey admits that, in retrospect, that sounds shady as heck. And he&#8217;s right!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-this-is-going-to-sound-super-shady">&#8216;This is going to sound super shady&#8217;</h2>



<p>Lachey is part of the new ID documentary, <em><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mdqk-sK7038" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Boy Band Confidential</a></em>.</p>



<p>Produced by Joey Fatone of *NSYNC fame, this is a retrospective look at what life was really like for members of the most famous boy bands &#8212; and some bands that the world has largely forgotten.</p>



<p>These days, most of us think of Lachey as Jessica Simpson&#8217;s ex. And he is!</p>



<p>But he, alongside Jeff Timmons, Justin Jeffre, and Drew Lachey (his brother), comprised the boy band, 98 Degrees.</p>



<p>And, when they first went on tour in 1999, they had a helpful yet &#8220;shady&#8221; guide. Just in case.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<p>“This is going to sound super shady,&#8221; Lachey admits, &#8220;but when we first went out, I remember our first tour, someone at the label gave us a book.&#8221;</p>



<p>He continued: &#8220;And it was the age of consent in every state in the country.&#8221;</p>



<p>(As appalling as <em>different laws in different countries</em> already is in our world, <em>different laws in different states</em> is somehow even worse. And yes, age of consent laws vary widely.)</p>



<p>“And, like, we kept that book on the tour bus,&#8221; Lachey admitted.</p>



<p>He explained the safeguard, claiming: “Unfortunately, there were people out there looking to tear you down.”</p>


<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_use_nicklachey_01-1024x576.png" alt="Nick Lachey, Jeff Timmons, Justin Jeffre, and Drew Lachey." class="wp-image-552588" srcset="https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_use_nicklachey_01-1024x576.png 1024w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_use_nicklachey_01-300x169.png 300w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_use_nicklachey_01-768x432.png 768w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_use_nicklachey_01-728x410.png 728w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_use_nicklachey_01-960x540.png 960w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_use_nicklachey_01-1080x608.png 1080w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_use_nicklachey_01-1200x675.png 1200w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_use_nicklachey_01.png 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 20px), 720px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">98 Degrees included Nick Lachey, Jeff Timmons, Justin Jeffre, and Drew Lachey.<span class="image-caption-credit"> (Image Credit: Investigation Discovery)</span></figcaption></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-there-s-a-point-where-excessive-familiarity-with-the-law-is-suspicious">There&#8217;s a point where excessive familiarity with the law is &#8230; suspicious</h2>



<p>Up until that line suggesting that people were out to get 98 Degrees in the &#8217;90s, Lachey&#8217;s admission makes sense.</p>



<p>Yes, we know &#8212; having a creepy knowledge of age of consent from state to state is usually a red flag.</p>



<p>(Knowing the age of people you&#8217;re sleeping with is good and smart. Knowing the minimum age that someone can be for a legal hookup in 50 states and beyond is a predator&#8217;s mindset, even if no laws are broken.)</p>



<p>However, the boy band members ages were 21 at the youngest and 24 at the oldest in 1999.</p>



<p>Most of the time, 21-year-olds do not really end up socializing in person with anyone under 18. But, if they do, they should at least know whether or not they&#8217;re committing a crime.</p>


<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_use_nicklachey_02-Cropped-1024x576.png" alt="Nick Lachey BTS." class="wp-image-552586" srcset="https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_use_nicklachey_02-Cropped-1024x576.png 1024w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_use_nicklachey_02-Cropped-300x169.png 300w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_use_nicklachey_02-Cropped-768x432.png 768w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_use_nicklachey_02-Cropped-728x410.png 728w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_use_nicklachey_02-Cropped-960x540.png 960w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_use_nicklachey_02-Cropped-1080x608.png 1080w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_use_nicklachey_02-Cropped-1200x675.png 1200w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_use_nicklachey_02-Cropped.png 1669w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 20px), 720px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">This behind-the-scenes shot shows Nick Lachey on his phone.<span class="image-caption-credit"> (Image Credit: Investigation Discovery)</span></figcaption></figure>



<p>Laws regarding age of consent should exist, because 18 as a hard cutoff creates nonsensical injustices.</p>



<p>To be blunt, two high school students should not have to break up just because one of them had a birthday. </p>



<p>At many high schools, it is common for students of different grades to share classes, to socialize, and to date. (And this applies to other situations, like workplaces, where minors and adults may share spaces.)</p>



<p>People who are just a few years apart dating, when one is an adult and another is a minor, is not inherently predatory. But someone who <em>is </em>predatory might take advantage of these laws in order to pursue inexperienced teens. </p>



<p>Something can be entirely legal and entirely creepy at the same time.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-obviously-boy-band-confidential-covers-much-more-than-that-small-anecdote">Obviously, &#8216;Boy Band Confidential&#8217; covers much more than that small anecdote</h2>



<p><em>Boy Band Confidential</em> premieres on Roku on Monday, April 13.</p>



<p>Obviously, the contents of the doc will range from the lighthearted to the very serious.</p>



<p>Many boy bands of that era were the targets for massive financial exploitation. People who earned tens of millions were left with scraps.</p>



<p>Additionally, some will touch upon heavy subjects &#8212; such as sexual misconduct when they were young stars.</p>



<p>Many of today&#8217;s music stars have much better situations, in their contracts and finances, than these boy band members did. They carved out part of the industry, and suffered for it, and paved the way for future singers.</p>

<p>Eva Longoria has been married and divorced over the course of her acting career.</p>



<p>The actress, <a href="https://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2017/12/eva-longoria-pregnant-with-first-child/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">mother</a>, model, and <a href="https://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2025/01/eva-longoria-1-million-wildfires/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">philanthropist</a> was not always famous. Or lucky in love.</p>



<p>Her husbands have included an alleged cheating athlete, a wealthy businessman, and a fellow actor who tragically died.</p>



<p>Here&#8217;s a run-down of her marital history, what went wrong, and where things stand today.</p>

<p>Though she memorably disparaged soap opera work in recent years, she acted on several earlier in her career.</p>



<p>That role, as &#8220;Brenda Barrett Lookalike,&#8221; spanned only a single episode. however, it was where Longoria met actor Tyler Christopher.</p>

<p>The two went on to marry in 2002. At this time, she was starring on <em>The Young &amp; The Restless</em>.</p>



<p>In 2004, they divorced with little fanfare. Notably, this was the year that <em>Desperate Housewives</em> began. Her role as Gabrielle Solis catapulted Longoria to stardom.</p>



<p>Tragically, Christopher passed away in 2023 following a lengthy battle with alcoholism and a related brain injury, which in turn preceded a period of homelessness.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-eva-longoria-amp-tony-parker-2007-2010">Eva Longoria &amp; Tony Parker (2007-2010)</h2>



<p>In November of 2004, having been fully divorced since January of that year, Eva Longoria met Tony Parker, an athlete playing for a team called the San Antonio Spurs.</p>



<p>Two years later, in November of 2006, the two became engaged. They would go on to marry in 2007.</p>



<p>Following a civil service at city hall, they married in a Catholic wedding on July 7, 2007.</p>


<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="683" height="1024" src="https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2025/08/0807_evalongoria_04-683x1024.jpg" alt="Eva Longoria and Tony Parker in 2009." class="wp-image-532006" srcset="https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2025/08/0807_evalongoria_04-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2025/08/0807_evalongoria_04-200x300.jpg 200w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2025/08/0807_evalongoria_04-768x1151.jpg 768w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2025/08/0807_evalongoria_04-1367x2048.jpg 1367w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2025/08/0807_evalongoria_04-641x960.jpg 641w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2025/08/0807_evalongoria_04-721x1080.jpg 721w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2025/08/0807_evalongoria_04-801x1200.jpg 801w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2025/08/0807_evalongoria_04-scaled.jpg 1708w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 20px), 720px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Actress Eva Longoria and Tony Parker pose as they arrive to attend the &#8220;Par Coeur Gala&#8221; dinner at the Hotel Meurice on September 21, 2009.<span class="image-caption-credit"> (Photo Credit: Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images)</span></figcaption></figure>



<p>According to Longoria in 2010, she ended up discovering <em>hundreds</em> of texts between Parker and another woman.</p>



<p>(That woman, the world later learned, was allegedly Erin Barry, who was married to Parker&#8217;s former teammate at the time)</p>



<p>So, six years after they met, Longoria filed to divorce Parker in November 2010. The contentious divorce involved  a battle over jurisdictions, a prenup, and more. However, they managed to finalize the divorce in January of 2011.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-she-married-jose-antonio-pepe-baston-patino-in-2016">She married José Antonio &#8220;Pepe&#8221; Bastón Patiño in 2016</h2>



<p>In December of 2015, the several-years-divorced Eva Longoria announced that she and José Antonio &#8220;Pepe&#8221; Bastón Patiño were <a href="https://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2015/12/eva-longoria-engaged-to-jose-antonio-baston/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">engaged</a>.</p>



<p>The Mexican businessman was the president of Televisa, a sprawling media company. As it turns out, they had met on a blind date through a mutual friend, with Bastón having initially not even known who she was. (Incidentally, she is reportedly by <em>far </em>the wealthier partner)</p>



<p>Longoria and Bastón married on May 21, 2016. In 2018, Longoria <a href="https://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2018/06/eva-longoria-welcomes-first-child-ever/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">welcomed</a> their son. As of late 2024, the two divide their time between Mexico and Spain.</p>

<p>These are strange times in American politics.</p>



<p>We&#8217;re at war with Iran; the president&#8217;s wife is hosting press conferences about <a href="https://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2026/04/woody-allen-jeffrey-epstein-friendship-photos/">Jeffrey Epstein</a> for some reason, and now presidential offspring are challenging one another to cage fights.</p>



<p>Yes, Hunter Biden revealed this week that he&#8217;s eager to square off against Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump in a  real-life <em>Celebrity Death Match</em>.</p>


<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="702" src="https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/GettyImages-2155936346-1024x702.jpg" alt="Hunter Biden, son of U.S. President Joe Biden departs the J.

<p>Speaking on social media, Hunter said he&#8217;s been in touch with influencer Andrew Callaghan &#8212; who recently conducted those bonkers <a href="https://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2026/03/shia-labeouf-arrested-again-on-assault-charges-declares-big-gay-people-are-scary/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shia LaBeouf interviews</a> &#8212; and the two of them are orchestrating a political battle royale. </p>



<p>&#8220;I think he&#8217;s trying to organize a cage match, me versus Eric and Don Jr.,&#8221; Biden said about Callaghan&#8217;s efforts. &#8220;I told him I&#8217;d do it, 100% in, if he can pull it off.&#8221;</p>



<p>In an email to <em><a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2026/04/10/hunter-biden-eric-trump-donald-trump-jr-cage-match-fight/89543930007/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">USA Today</a></em>, Callaghan said that he believed Hunter Biden made the comments &#8220;in jest&#8221; but that he would be &#8220;more than happy to facilitate&#8221; the cage fight if Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump are &#8220;willing to engage Hunter in mutual combat.&#8221;</p>



<p>How would this even work?</p>



<p>Would Hunter take on both Trump brothers at the same time, or would this be a tag team situation?</p>

<p>And if it&#8217;s the latter, with whom would Hunter team up?</p>



<p>He should probably be allowed to choose from current Congressional Democrats, but that&#8217;s a dicey prospect.</p>



<p>Chuck Schumer and Bernie Sanders probably wouldn&#8217;t be much help in the ring.</p>



<p>John Fetterman is massive, but he might switch sides in the middle of the match.</p>



<p>AOC is one of the Trumps&#8217; most-hated Dems, but if Hunter chose her, we&#8217;d just end up with another round of gender and sports discourse.</p>

<p>News of the fight (which, sadly, probably won&#8217;t happen) comes on the heels of reports that Hunter&#8217;s allegations prompted Melania Trump to host an impromptu press conference about the Epstein files.</p>



<p>&#8220;Epstein introduced Melania to Trump, the connections are so wide and deep,&#8221; Hunter said in 2025 (via <em>USA Today</em>).</p>



<p>The first lady described the claim as &#8220;false, disparaging, defamatory and inflammatory.&#8221;</p>



<p>Conservative outlets like <em><a href="https://nypost.com/2026/04/09/us-news/hunter-biden-is-too-broke-to-pay-lawyer-challenges-trumps-sons-to-a-cage-match/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The New York Post</a></em> are using this week&#8217;s Hunter drama as a reason to dredge up less flattering stories about the former president&#8217;s son (because let&#8217;s face it, if the roles were reversed and the Trumps were issuing this challenge, the <em>Post</em> would be applauding it).</p>



<p>In their reporting on the cage match, the <em>Post</em> also alleged that Hunter is &#8220;too broke to pay his lawyers.&#8221;</p>



<p>“Neither we nor our client know the ultimate amount owed,” Biden’s lawyer Barry Coburn acknowledged when reached for comment.</p>



<p>Yes, the <em>Post</em> really buried the freaking cage match story beneath multiple paragraphs about the pay dispute between Hunter and his lawyers.</p>



<p>Look, we may not all agree on much in this country, but hopefully we can still concur that cage matches are awesome and we want this one to happen.</p>

<p>Mandy Moore has been married and divorced, and that only covers part of her relationship highs and lows.</p>



<p>Rocketing to fame in the late &#8217;90s as a singer, most know her as a <a href="https://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2025/01/mandy-moore-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">successful actress</a>.</p>



<p>But her dating and married life have had some monumental ups and downs.</p>



<p>Here is Moore&#8217;s relationship history explained, and where things stand today.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-mandy-moore-dated-vilmer-valderrama">Mandy Moore dated Vilmer Valderrama</h2>



<p>For those who remember, Mandy Moore&#8217;s most infamous romance was likely with Vilmer Valderrama.</p>



<p>She and the That &#8217;70s Show alum dated from 2000 until 2002, very early into her fame. </p>



<p>Valderrama boasted in a 2006 interview that he had been the first to sleep with her, adding that she did not feel &#8220;like warm apple pie.&#8221;</p>



<p>Talking about your ex like that is gross! Also untrue, as it turned out. Moore has stated that they have remained friends despite this inexplicable fib.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-her-most-famous-on-his-own-romantic-partner-was-zach-braff">Her most famous (on his own) romantic partner was Zach Braff</h2>



<p>Just a few years after her &#8220;Candy&#8221; music video perfectly captured the 1999-2000 aesthetic (the good and the bad, all in one place!), Moore entered a relationship with actor Zach Braff.</p>



<p>Their romance lasted from 2004 until 2006.</p>



<p>Two years later, in 2008, she began dating fellow musician Ryan Adams.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-mandy-moore-and-ryan-adams-married-in-march-2009">Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams married in March 2009</h2>



<p>In February of 2009, Moore and Adams were engaged. </p>



<p>It was not a lengthy engagement, as the two married in March of that year.</p>



<p>Moore filed to divorce Adams in January of 2015, following six months of legal separation. In 2019, years after finalizing the split, she described Adams as emotionally abusive.</p>



<p>She has since gone on the <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mandy-moore-healing-after-a-difficult-marriage-and/id1683905652?i=1000643946309" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>Dinners on Me</em> podcast</a> to reflect upon the ill-advised union.</p>



<p>Going into the marriage, she feels, was a response to her parents&#8217; divorce. Even knowing this, she admitted that she cannot believe that she made herself so small &#8212; but is glad to have learned lessons from that mistake.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-in-november-2018-she-married-taylor-goldsmith">In November 2018, she married Taylor Goldsmith</h2>



<p>Later in 2015, Mandy Moore began dating another fellow musician, Taylor Goldsmith. </p>



<p>The two became engaged in September of 2017. This engagement lasted a little longer, as they married in November of 2018.</p>



<p>In February 2021, they welcomed son August &#8220;Gus&#8221; Harrison Goldsmith. </p>



<p>A medically inadvisable 15 months later, in October 2022, the couple welcomed son Oscar &#8220;Ozzie&#8221; Bennett Goldsmith.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-is-mandy-moore-currently-married-or-divorced">Is Mandy Moore currently married or divorced?</h2>



<p>In late September of 2024, Moore announced the birth of <a href="https://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2024/05/mandy-moore-pregnant/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">her daughter</a>, Louise Everett Goldsmith.</p>



<p>All three children share Moore and Goldsmith as parents. </p>



<p>Mandy Moore and Taylor Goldsmith are neither divorced nor separated, and thus far show no signs of doing either. </p>



<p>Perhaps she has found her happily ever after.</p>

<p>This may be an awkward time for TikToker Noah Beck, but he is not the alleged victim in this situation.</p>



<p>Authorities say that his older sister and another teacher groomed and preyed upon a teenage boy who attended their school.</p>



<p>Though it appears that things escalated as soon as he was no longer their student, it appears that criminal activities took place while the victim was still a minor.</p>



<p>Even with some key details unknown, this is appalling. </p>


<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_haleybeck_header-1024x576.png" alt="Haley Beck as a teacher." class="wp-image-552568" srcset="https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_haleybeck_header-1024x576.png 1024w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_haleybeck_header-300x169.png 300w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_haleybeck_header-768x432.png 768w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_haleybeck_header-728x410.png 728w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_haleybeck_header-960x540.png 960w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_haleybeck_header-1080x608.png 1080w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_haleybeck_header-1200x675.png 1200w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_haleybeck_header.png 1203w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 20px), 720px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Despite her famous brother, Haley Beck was not a public figure and continued to work as a teacher.<span class="image-caption-credit"> (Image Credit: YouTube)</span></figcaption></figure>



<p>In 2020, TikTok took off in the US, the world&#8217;s everlasting regret. Noah Beck was one of the platform&#8217;s breakout stars.</p>



<p>His older sister, Haley Beck, is not a public figure. But she has appeared in some of his videos over the years.</p>



<p>She is one of two Arizona teachers whom authorities accuse of grooming and sexually abusing the same teenage boy.</p>



<p>Haley is facing an investigation over a <em>potential</em> charge for inducing another to engage in sex work.</p>



<p>Angela Burlaka may face a charge on the accusation that she furnished obscene material to a minor.</p>


<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_haleybeck_03-1024x576.png" alt="Centennial High School in Peoria." class="wp-image-552569" srcset="https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_haleybeck_03-1024x576.png 1024w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_haleybeck_03-300x169.png 300w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_haleybeck_03-768x432.png 768w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_haleybeck_03-728x410.png 728w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_haleybeck_03-960x540.png 960w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_haleybeck_03-1080x608.png 1080w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_haleybeck_03-1200x675.png 1200w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_haleybeck_03.png 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 20px), 720px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">A shot of Centennial High School in Peoria.<span class="image-caption-credit"> (Image Credit: CBS 5 / 3TV)</span></figcaption></figure>



<p>On Wednesday, April 8, a spokesperson for the Maricopa County Attorney&#8217;s Office addressed the investigation.</p>



<p>“These submittals are currently under review,&#8221; the spokesperson confirmed, &#8220;and there is no timeline available for when a charging decision will be made.&#8221;</p>



<p>Apparently, investigators had first recommended a single pandering charge &#8212; pandering meaning attempting to induce one to perform sex work.</p>



<p>However, the police were tasked with conducting an &#8220;additional investigation&#8221; to determine the full breadth of necessary charges.</p>



<p>Haley was already placed on administrative leave in August 2025. This came after a report from the Peoria Police Department about an alleged sexual relationship with a (former) student.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Two former Peoria teachers accused of abusing one boy" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QB5Lk2LOfQM?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p>An investigation by the Peoria Unified School District reportedly found that Haley Beck had allegedly offered oral sex to a former student of Centennial High School.</p>



<p>She allegedly also offered to buy him tequila. She is also accused of sending him $630 via Apple Pay.</p>



<p>The probe cites over 4,000 texts that the two allegedly exchanged between June 21 and August 2 of 2025.</p>



<p>Last month, on March 11, a Title IX advisor recommended that Haley be fired &#8212; and never rehired.</p>



<p>This decision stems from claims that Beck had &#8220;developed a sexual relationship&#8221; with this former student. The report accused her of &#8220;predatory practices&#8221; such as the exchange of money.</p>


<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_haleybeck_02-1024x576.png" alt="Centennial High School in Arizona." class="wp-image-552570" srcset="https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_haleybeck_02-1024x576.png 1024w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_haleybeck_02-300x169.png 300w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_haleybeck_02-768x432.png 768w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_haleybeck_02-728x410.png 728w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_haleybeck_02-960x540.png 960w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_haleybeck_02-1080x608.png 1080w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_haleybeck_02-1200x675.png 1200w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/04/0410_haleybeck_02.png 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 20px), 720px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">High schools are places of learning, of socialization among peers. No student should become a target for inappropriate attentions from an adult.<span class="image-caption-credit"> (Image Credit: CBS 5 / 3TV)</span></figcaption></figure>



<p>Investigators seem to be looking into which charges they can bring against Haley beyond the &#8220;pandering&#8221; charge.</p>



<p>She is accused of grooming the student for months ahead of him becoming her <em>former</em> student. If so, then wrongdoing took place, though proving any crime may be tricky.</p>



<p>Meanwhile, Burlaka is accused of sending the same student sexually explicit videos while he was still a minor. That case may be considerably easier for the prosecution.</p>



<p>We know that Haley Beck has an attorney and is mounting a defense.</p>



<p>Without knowing more, it&#8217;s difficult to say more about what happened &#8212; or where things will end up.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-this-summer-in">This summer, in &#8230;</h2>



<p><em><a href="https://pagesix.com/2026/04/09/entertainment/taylor-swift-and-travis-kelces-wedding-date-and-location-revealed-as-save-the-dates-go-out/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Page Six</a></em> reports that Taylor and Travis&#8217; save-the-dates for their wedding have gone out.</p>



<p>The apparent wedding date is no big surprise.</p>



<p><strong>Friday, July 3</strong>.</p>



<p>We&#8217;ve been hearing about a summer wedding for months.</p>



<p>However, the venue is &#8212; as numerous outlets, including <em>THG</em>, suggested might happen &#8212; not where people were expecting.</p>


<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/01/0123_traviskelce_header-1024x576.png" alt="Travis Kelce on his 'New Heights' podcast in 2026." class="wp-image-546334" srcset="https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/01/0123_traviskelce_header-1024x576.png 1024w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/01/0123_traviskelce_header-300x169.png 300w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/01/0123_traviskelce_header-768x432.png 768w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/01/0123_traviskelce_header-728x410.png 728w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/01/0123_traviskelce_header-960x540.png 960w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/01/0123_traviskelce_header-1080x607.png 1080w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/01/0123_traviskelce_header-1200x675.png 1200w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2026/01/0123_traviskelce_header.png 1407w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 20px), 720px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Where his brother chose a cowboy cosplay, Travis Kelce&#8217;s &#8216;New Heights&#8217; &#8216;fit was just bro casual.<span class="image-caption-credit"> (Image Credit: YouTube)</span></figcaption></figure>



<p>According to <em>Page Six</em>&#8216;s inside source, the save-the-dates reveal that <strong>the wedding will be in New York City</strong>.</p>



<p>This is a huge shift from numerous past reports, which claimed that the wedding would take place in Rhode Island.</p>



<p>However, for months, reports have suggested that Taylor might shift the venue &#8212; especially as the list of invites grew.</p>



<p>In a moment, we&#8217;ll delve into why the Big Apple makes so much sense for Taylor. </p>



<p>But first, we&#8217;ll acknowledge that some on social media have speculated that Taylor shifted the venue on purpose &#8212; or deliberately leaked a fake location &#8212; due to media coverage. We cannot verify that, however.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-date-and-location-make-a-lot-of-sense">The date and location make a lot of sense</h2>



<p>There are specific &#8220;wedding seasons&#8221; in the world.</p>



<p>These can be practical &#8212; times when guests are more likely to be able to take time off from work, or scenic &#8212; times when flowers are in bloom or leaves are changing their colors.</p>



<p>However, it makes sense for Taylor and Travis to marry in early July for a practical reason: his job.</p>



<p>We have all learned so much about the world of football since this relationship began. One of those fun facts is that Travis will have football camps to attend starting in late July, leading up to something called the &#8220;preseason&#8221; in early August.</p>



<p>Also, it can&#8217;t hurt that Taylor is a big fan of the Fourth of July.</p>


<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2025/10/1007_traviskelce_02-1024x576.png" alt="Travis Kelce with an inadvisable mustache on his podcast." class="wp-image-537133" srcset="https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2025/10/1007_traviskelce_02-1024x576.png 1024w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2025/10/1007_traviskelce_02-300x169.png 300w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2025/10/1007_traviskelce_02-768x432.png 768w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2025/10/1007_traviskelce_02-728x410.png 728w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2025/10/1007_traviskelce_02-960x540.png 960w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2025/10/1007_traviskelce_02-1080x608.png 1080w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2025/10/1007_traviskelce_02-1200x675.png 1200w, https://cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com/uploads/2025/10/1007_traviskelce_02.png 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 20px), 720px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">On &#8216;New Heights Film Club,&#8217; Travis Kelce reviews a 20-year-old movie.<span class="image-caption-credit"> (Image Credit: YouTube)</span></figcaption></figure>



<p>As for New York, Taylor very famously moved to New York back in 2014, when she first broke out of her more genre-locked stardom and became a mainstream music behemoth.</p>



<p>Her Tribeca penthouse &#8212; which Taylor has expanded repeatedly over the years &#8212; is nothing short of palatial.</p>



<p>(It is allegedly the location where Karlie Kloss, as a guest, held an event without telling Taylor, resulting in a rift and a specific line from &#8220;Look What You Made Me Do.&#8221;)</p>



<p>Taylor also penned &#8220;Welcome To New York&#8221; and served as the city&#8217;s Welcome Ambassador for a time.</p>



<p>New York makes a very sensible venue for a wedding, especially if she has many guests. There will be no shortage of hotels.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-could-this-be-a-false-flag">Could this be a false flag?</h2>



<p>We cannot rule out that Taylor could have sent fake save-the-dates to potential guests. </p>



<p>The cards could each have had a different phony detail &#8212; to identify the leaker when the detail went public.</p>



<p>But New York just makes a lot of sense. And sending out a second wave of &#8220;real&#8221; save-the-dates sounds like a whole hassle.</p>



<p>(Not to mention that leakers wouldn&#8217;t have to be guests. Many put save-the-dates on fridges, where anyone could see them.)</p>



<p>We&#8217;ll wait on Taylor and Travis for confirmation of the wedding plans. Until then, though, we&#8217;re sure that they&#8217;ll keep busy preparing for their big day.</p>

<p>Afrika Bambaataa &#8212; the hip hop legend best known for his pioneering track &#8220;Planet Rock&#8221; &#8212; has passed away.</p>



<p>He was just 67 years old.</p>

<p>News of his passing comes courtesy of a social media post from Mick Benzo, a fellow musician and member of the Universal Zulu Nation, the music collective founded by Bambaataa</p>



<p>“Two days ago, I spoke with Afrika Bambaataa and found him in high spirits,” Benzo wrote on Instagram.</p>



<p>“Today, however, I began receiving calls about his passing. Concerned, I reached out to him but received no response. My worries deepened, and I was heartbroken to learn it was true—he had peacefully fallen asleep and did not wake up,&#8221; he continued, adding:</p>



<p>&#8220;It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Afrika Bambaataa, a pioneering architect and global ambassador of Hip Hop culture. </p>

<p>&#8220;Revered as the Godfather of Hip Hop, Bambaataa was instrumental in organizing, shaping, and elevating the culture from its earliest days in the Bronx into a worldwide movement rooted in the principles of Peace, Unity, Love, and Having Fun. </p>



<p>&#8220;Through his vision, leadership, and unwavering commitment, he helped transform Hip Hop into a powerful force for expression, community building, and social change.&#8221;</p>



<p>Bambaataa&#8217;s influence as a hip hop pioneer is undeniable.</p>



<p>However, in his later years, his musical contributions were overshadowed by scandal .</p>

<p>In 2016, Bambaataa was accused of molesting a teen. </p>



<p>Several other allegations followed, and though he denied them all, Bambaataa was eventually expelled from the Universal Zulu Nation.</p>



<p>According to a report from <em><a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/afrika-bambaataa-child-sexual-abuse-civil-case-1235346075/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rolling Stone</a></em>, Bambaataa lost a child sexual abuse civil case last year after he failed to appear in court.</p>



<p>His cause of death is unknown at this time. We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.</p>



<p>Our thoughts go out to Afrika Bambaataa&#8217;s loved ones during this difficult time.</p>
