Popular kids content creator Danny Go, known for his viral YouTube show, with hits like The Floor Is Lava and Spooky Spiders Everywhere, is mourning the loss of his beloved son following a lengthy health battle.

On Friday, May 22, Danny Go, real name Daniel Coleman, announced that his son died, writing, "Isaac Daniel Coleman 10/3/11 - 5/21/26."

"Oh my sweet boy. There’s so much I want to say, but I don’t know how yet. I already miss you so much, and the pain in my heart is far more than I can process," he began.

"But looking through thousands of pictures and videos this past week, I’m also filled with tremendous pride. Your 14 years were full of so many challenges, but you met them all with such grit…and you somehow kept your trademark joy in spite of it all. You truly had a spark like no other, Isaac! Remembering how loved you were and how full of life your time here was gives me great comfort. Being your dad was the honor of a lifetime."

He concluded his post, addressing his late so directly, "I’m so proud of you and I love you forever. Rest peacefully, son."

Fans poured into the comment section with prayers and condolences, as one wrote, "Without Isaac there is no Danny Go. His impact is and will be felt by millions of children who find so much joy in what you bring to us in our living rooms. Such a profound impact for only 14 years of life. Rest well."

"I’m so heartbroken. Here’s my wish that life treats you gently while you heal 💕" another expressed.

The father of two—who shares sons Isaac and Levi (8) with wife Mindy Coleman—previously revealed that his eldest was diagnosed with stage 3 mouth cancer.

In April, he took to Instagram to reveal that Isaac was in hospice care to help manage the pain and the family was "just doing our best to make each day as enjoyable and restful as possible for him."

"The high-level update is that his cancer has continued to spread aggressively and his energy levels have dropped very low," he explained.

Coleman cancelled his Danny Go tour in February for the remainder of the year to be with his family, as Isaac's health took a turn, and following his diagnosis in December.

Isaac was also born with Fanconi Anemia, which is described by the Cleveland Clinic as "a rare, inherited genetic disease that prevents the bone marrow from producing enough blood cells, leading to bone marrow failure."

At the time, Coleman expressed, "TBH, we always knew this day was coming, as it’s a near certainty w/ Fanconi anemia. But it’s definitely hitting a little earlier than we hoped and is still just such a shocking thing to hear about your child, even if you’ve braced for it for years.”

Fans have been rallying behind the Coleman family during this difficult time, streaming Danny Go! shows on YouTube and Netflix on a loop to help generate revenue for the family.

Danny Go's YouTube channel has been active since 2021 and has amassed more than 4.5 million followers, with his show landing on Netflix this past April. He provides live-action educational shows for kids featuring music, movement and imaginative scenarios focusing on learning, physical activity and social-emotional development.

New details about Kyle Busch's shocking death are being released.

Busch, one of the most successful drivers in NASCAR history, died on Thursday, May 21, after suddenly falling ill. Initial reports suggested that Busch was hospitalized earlier in the day and that he died several hours later. However, a new report from the Associated Press indicates that Busch was actually admitted to the hospital on Wednesday, May 20.

Per the report, Busch, 41, "was testing in the Chevrolet racing simulator in Concord on Wednesday when he became unresponsive and was transported to a hospital in Charlotte." Despite this update, questions about what happened to the NASCAR icon remain.

Busch's family released the following statement on Thursday morning.

"Kyle has experienced a severe illness resulting in hospitalization. He is currently undergoing treatment and will not compete in any of his scheduled activities this weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway. We ask for understanding and privacy as our family navigates this situation," the statement, posted on Busch's X account, read.

About seven hours later, NASCAR confirmed that Busch had died.

"Our entire NASCAR family is heartbroken by the loss of Kyle Busch," a statement posted on the official NASCAR website read. "A future Hall of Famer, Kyle was a rare talent, one who comes along once in a generation. He was fierce, he was passionate, he was immensely skilled and he cared deeply about the sport and fans."

"Throughout a career that spanned more than two decades, Kyle set records in national series wins, won championships at NASCAR’s highest level and fostered the next generation of drivers as an owner in the Truck Series. His sharp wit and competitive spirit sparked a deep emotional connection with race fans of every age, creating the proud and loyal ‘Rowdy Nation,'" the statement continued.

The organization sent its condolences to Busch's family before asking for privacy on their behalf. It promised that additional updates would be shared "as appropriate."

Busch was preparing to compete in the upcoming Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Sunday, May 24.

Busch is survived by his wife, Samantha, and two children, Brexton and Lennix. His cause of death is still unclear.

If you’ve ever stopped in Roatán, Honduras on a Western Caribbean cruise itinerary, you’re probably familiar with the lush, eco-friendly private enclave of Mahogany Bay. But if you haven't been back recently, it's time to re-map your travel coordinates. Carnival Cruise Line just dropped a major announcement, revealing a complete top-to-bottom rebrand of the private port—now officially named Isla Tropicale—alongside a massive, luxury-forward expansion designed to shift the destination into a whole new gear.

The transformation marks a major lifestyle evolution for the 20-acre port, which is an elite member of Carnival’s Paradise Collection. While the destination has been a massive hit for its pristine, Blue Flag-certified beaches and its famous scenic chairlift, the brand-new upgrades are explicitly designed to inject a high-end, resort-style energy right at the heart of the property.

The absolute crown jewel of the new layout is Mangrove Bay, a sprawling, 48,000-square-foot premium pool and recreational oasis. If you’re traveling on one of the line’s Excel- or Vista-class mega-ships, you no longer have to head straight to the ocean to cool off. Mangrove Bay brings the destination its very first dedicated pool complex, anchoring the space with a massive swim-up bar and an adjacent full-service beverage counter.

To maximize those slow-travel relaxation vibes, Carnival built a stunning peninsula out into the center of the pool, completely lined with premium loungers, shaded daybeds, and exclusive private cabanas. It effectively solves the classic private-destination struggle of fighting for a comfortable, uncrowded space to unpack your beach gear. Plus, if you're traveling with little ones, the complex features a dedicated kids' splash pad just steps away, ensuring the adults can decompress with a cocktail while the kids burn off some energy in a safe, self-contained zone.

"New features, including the destination’s first pool area, will elevate the guest experience at Isla Tropicale," Carnival Cruise Line President Christine Duffyshared in the announcement. Duffy emphasized that the $93 million total investment isn’t just a superficial facelift, but a strategic partnership with the region that continues to expand its massive economic footprint and support local businesses.

Beyond the new pool deck, the rest of the vibrant complex boasts 52 retail shops, localized artisan kiosks, three distinct restaurants and four bars. Whether you're looking to dive deep into the world's second-largest barrier reef right off the shoreline or just spend the afternoon floating up to a poolside bar, Carnival’s new oasis is proof that private port stops are getting a serious, sophisticated upgrade.

Satou Sabally is fully embracing her new era of confidence as the WNBA star continues to command attention with her effortless charm.

Beyond the court, she is not just bringing awareness through her dramatic physical change but also stealing the spotlight with her fashion choices.

With her debut for the New York Liberty, Sabally stepped into the Barclays Center with a bold look.

On Thursday, before the team went against the Golden State Valkyries, the 28-year-old player made her official game debut memorable by turning heads in a one-piece animal print outfit.

The fashion-forward look featured a sultry silhouette that highlighted her stunning figure.

Moreover, the outfit added a dramatic flair by opting for an asymmetrical design showcasing a long sleeve on the left arm and a sleeveless detail on the right, giving the ensemble a uniquely striking edge.

Capping off the outfit, she completed the look with large silver hoop earrings, chunky mixed-metal bangles and black pointy patent high heels.

Sabally’s tunnel fit was featured on the WNBA’s official Instagram page, sparking an overwhelming reaction from her supporters.

“New city. New chapter. Same Satou. Three-time All-Star and 2023 All-WNBA First Team selection Satou Sabally arrives ahead of her @nyliberty debut tonight on Prime Video!” the caption reads.

The comment section was filled with fans swooning over the Liberty forward’s bold look.

“It's giving ‘BIG PURRRRR’” one wrote, referring to the animal print detail.

“The amount of beauty in the W is ridiculous,” a commenter said.

A follower also mentioned how the WNBA star resembled the DC Comics superhero Vixen, noting, “What is the name of the DC comic book superhero? That is who Sabally looks like right now.”

“Body tea” a commenter said, which means she has a stunning body.

“She is too sexy and fine,” a fan echoed.

The same goes for another who commented, “She is just so perfect it is INSANE.”

Before her big game with the Liberty, Sabally made a bold decision to shave her head.

Back in March, the former Dallas Wings player surprised fans after posting an Instagram update sporting a new look.

The post featured Sabally rocking a barefaced look and buzz cut, bringing attention and support to alopecia awareness.

She continued the advocacy in April by once again debuting a clean-cut hairstyle as a tribute to the cause.

In a TikTok post, Sabally couldn't help but get emotional, revealing the reason behind her major transformation and showing off her new hairdo.

“Shout out to alopecia awareness,” she said, “I don't have it myself, but my best friend does."

Despite the dramatic departure from her signature long curly hair, she mentioned how having almost bald hair felt “very liberating.”

“I love the look,” she furthered.

The video quickly flooded with admiration and praise for Sabally’s bold transformation and newfound confidence.

While summer should be fun on Bravo's Summer House, former housemate Luke Gulbranson — who is currently running for a seat in Congress — recalled an extremely powerful moment he had on the show that was ultimately left on the cutting room floor.

The moment speaks directly to why Luke says he’s running. “All you see is what they want you to see,” Luke recently shared with Newsweek. “I had a conversation with someone the other day and we were filming. It was my last season of Summer House, and I was my grandfather’s power of attorney. We were dealing with his healthcare, assisted living, home healthcare... all these things over time that we deal with.”

Luke recounted the challenges he faced trying to find care for his grandfather, pay his bills, and secure healthcare at the time. “I remember I broke down,” he recalled. “I was crying in the kitchen. It would hurt me so much seeing my grandfather suffering the way he did. And what I was dealing with — this is everyday struggles for the people across this country who deal with their parents or grandparents and family dynamics and healthcare issues and finances and stuff.”

He continued: “But you never see that. They never air that. They’d rather have two girls in bed gossiping,” he said, referring to the “bedbugs” — Paige DeSorbo, Amanda Batula, Ciara Miller, and others.

“It was really frustrating for me because here I am. I’m just a normal person with real-life struggles and real-life issues that I think people relate to,” he said. “But you never see that. You only see what they want you to see.”

The Newsweek interviewer, who admitted he was initially skeptical about another reality star trying to break into politics, said that hearing Luke describe what he went through with his grandfather ultimately shifted his perception of him.

Netflix's new documentary, The Crash, is taking the world by storm following its May 15 release. The doc tells the story of Mackenzie Shirilla—a 17-year-old who drove her car into a brick building going 100 mph, killing her boyfriend, Dominic Russo, and their friend, Davion Flanagan, on July 31, 2022, in Strongsville, Ohio.

Shirilla, who somehow survived the gruesome crash, claims she has no recollection of what happened that morning. After reviewing evidence, including some disturbing camera footage, Shirilla was arrested on murder charges. A judge found her guilty on four counts of murder, four counts of felonious assault, two counts of aggravated vehicular homicide and one count each of drug possession and possessing criminal tools, and sentenced her to 15 years to life in prison back in August 2023.

On May 21, 2026, People magazine reported that Shirilla was using a made-up language while speaking to her mom, Natalie Shirilla. Per the report, prosecutors were able to decode the language, which is spoken by adding "ezza" after each syllable of a given word. In one conversation that happened while Mackenzie was in the hospital prior to her arrest, prosecutors say she asked her mother a very specific question: "Can we tell the police I had a seizure?"

Prosecutors believe this one question proves that Mackenzie was trying to cover-up an intentional crime.

On The Crash, Natalie suggests that her daughter may have suffered some kind of medical episode due to her prior diagnosis of POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), which can cause low blood pressure.

Mackenzie, now 21, is serving her sentence at the Ohio Reformatory for Women. She is eligible for parole in 2037.

Official royal engagements don't often involve discussions of pop music bangers, but a live morning broadcast in Cornwall proves there's a first time for everything. On May 22nd, Prince William arrived in the Isles of Scilly for a scheduled visit. During the trip, he joined hosts Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden on the Heart Breakfast radio show to select the morning playlist. The conversation then segued to the musical preferences of the Princess of Wales.

One of her faves is a hit from British singer-songwriter Raye. The song, titled "Where Is My Husband", has apparently become a regular fixture in the royal household, serving as an internal joke between the couple.

The prince explained that the track frequently enters their daily communication, telling the hosts that Catherine will sometimes call him and say the lyrics “Where is my husband?” He added a quick confirmation of her musical taste: “She likes that song a lot.”

The confession comes at a time when the princess has stepped up her public profile, transitioning from private recovery back to high-profile international diplomacy. Just days before William's radio appearance, the Kate concluded a major two-day working trip to northern Italy, marking her first official overseas travel since 2022.

Visiting the city of Reggio Emilia, Kate focused on early childhood development, an initiative run through her Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood. Stepping out in an azure pantsuit, she met with Mayor Marco Massari at City Hall and spent time interacting with local children, and introduced herself in Italian to the youngsters as "Catarina."

These appearances follow a string of engagements throughout the early months of the year. In February, Kate joined Prince William on the red carpet at the 2026 BAFTA Film Awards, recycling a blush pink Gucci gown from her wardrobe. Her schedule has also mixed formal state events, like the ANZAC Day Commemoration at Westminster Abbey in late April, with public outings, including a visit to the National Curling Academy in Scotland and hosting the England Women's Rugby team at Windsor Castle.

While her public schedule remains more selective than in previous years, these recent appearances signal a return to the global stage. The contrast between her work in Italy and the casual pop-music banter shared by her husband on the radio gives royal fans an inside look to a household balancing monarchy with modern every day life.

Prince Williamis speaking out about Kate Middleton’s recovery from cancer. During an interview on May 22 with Heart Radio, the royal also praised his wife’s parenting skills, her ability to speak Italian, and so much more. 

What did William have to say about Kate? He gushed from the start, “She's been amazing. She’s been through so much in the last couple of years, particularly. And yeah, she’d been looking forward to the Italian trip a lot. And so I’m really glad it went really well.”

Speaking of the Princess’s trip to Italy, as it turns out, her husband learned something new. When one of the hosts said, “I had no idea she spoke Italian either,” William replied, “I didn’t actually. She must have dusted that off from a while ago.” 

The conversation took a more serious and emotional turn, “It must have been a very difficult time back then with the kids as well. And seeing her being able to fulfill those duties must have made you feel very happy.” 

Prince William responded, praising his wife’s parenting, “Yeah, very much so. She’s an amazing mum and an amazing wife. And, literally, our family could cope with that. So she’s been absolutely stunning, really has.” The couple famously has three children: Prince George (born in 2013), Princess Charlotte (born in 2015), and Prince Louis (born in 2018). 

This isn't the first time William has given his wife props as a parent. Last year, in an interview,  he told Brazilian television personality Luciano Huck, “School runs most days, I mean Catherine and I share it, but she probably does the bulk of it.”

While Prince William most recently opened up about his wife’s recovery, he has previously spoken publicly about how the royal couple handled parenting during Kate’s diagnosis. In the 2025 interview, he explained, “We choose to communicate a lot with our children. Now that has its good things and its bad things…But most of the time, hiding stuff from them doesn’t work. It sometimes helps to give them a bigger picture.”

Of course, William has praised his wife’s parenting prowess for years. Way back in 2016, he said on Talk Vietnam, “I’m very lucky in the support I have from Catherine. She is an amazing mother and a fantastic wife.” 

Ten years later, and it seems like almost nothing has changed when it comes to William’s view of his wife. And yes, that’s almost exactly what he said in his recent Heart Radio interview. 

Middleton revealed her cancer diagnosis in March of 2024, following an abdominal surgery the prior January. She stepped back from her royal duties while undergoing a course of preventative chemotherapy. While she did not specify what type of cancer she had, the Princess did announce her remission and ongoing recovery in 2025.

If you’re a gardener, you know that pests are just part of the process—and that, unfortunately, they can wreak havoc on the plants you’re carefully cultivating. While butterflies and bees should be more than welcome as pollinators that help the environment (there are several insects you should actually protect), species like the lanternflies can cause a lot of damage to your plants.

But what are spotted lanternflies exactly? And how can you protect your plants from them?

What Are Spotted Lanternflies?

Looking a bit like beautiful little butterflies (with dotted red and cream wings), spotted lanternflies are an invasive species. Since they don’t have any natural predators, they have become pests, especially since they’re “voracious eaters”, says Dr. Jim Fredericks, Board Certified Entomologist and Senior Vice President of Public Affairs at the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). 

“They’re originally from Asia, but have been spotted in the U.S. since 2014,” he explains. “Their range has grown from Pennsylvania to the surrounding states to now more than 19 states and Washington, D.C.” 

They eat a wide range of trees and plants, but their preferred meal is the Tree of Heaven. Casey DeLoe, Branch Manager Tree and Lawn of JP McHale Pest Management, says that spotted lanternflies also enjoy parking lots, fences, signage, outdoor structures and high-traffic or heavily developed urban corridors, along with landscaped areas, gardens and outdoor dining spaces.

Dr. Fredericks adds that while spotted lanternflies don’t bite or sting people, they are very destructive to your yard. 

“They feed on the host plant’s sap, which leads to weeping wounds of sap and mold,” he says. “That can cause stunted growth or even kill off the plant.”

With each new season comes a brand-new generation of spotted lanternflies.

“Eggs are laid in the autumn, then hatch when weather warms in the springtime,” Dr. Fredericks says. “Late spring to early summer is when they go through their nymph stages, and then late summer to fall is when they become adults and start laying eggs in the fall. The cycle then starts again next spring.”

If you’d like to be on the lookout for nymphs as well, before they even become adult spotted lanternflies, Dr. Fredericks that in this immature stage of the spotted lanternfly’s development, they’ll be smaller than the adults, with black bodies with white spots, “so they blend a little more into their surroundings.”

What Kind of Damage Do They Cause?

In particular, spotted lanternflies are a “serious threat” to ornamental plants and agriculture, “especially plants and trees like grapevines and fruit trees,” Dr. Fredericks says. “In your backyard, they can cause havoc by feeding on sap, plus they tend to congregate in large numbers. This will often result in dark mold growth on infested plants, which can be unhealthy for plants.” 

What You Should Do to Mitigate Spotted Lanternflies

First of all, DeLoe says that it’s key to remove spotted lanternfly egg masses early. You’ll accomplish this by scraping the eggs into a container and destroying them with alcohol or sanitizer. 

Next, DeLoe advises reducing attractants. You can do this by removing or managing any Tree of Heaven trees when possible and maintaining healthy landscaping to reduce any plant stress.

After that, he says that you should “strengthen cleaning protocols.” “Power-wash patios, decks and walkways and wipe down backyard furniture, railings and outdoor fixtures frequently,” he says. 

Lastly, you’ll turn to targeted pest control.

“Avoid broad-spectrum pesticides during peak activity to protect pollinators and work with pest professionals for targeted, low-impact treatments,” DeLoe says. 

Additionally, there are humane ways to deal with spotted lanternflies. For instance, Dr. Fredericks says that removing any Tree of Heaven trees from your property can help in managing the spread. If the spotted lanternflies have any favorite host plants in your yard and/or landscaping, DeLoe says that you should remove the plants that they’re feeding on. 

“While this won’t completely eradicate the issue, it will help to reduce activity for you and the surrounding properties,” he says.

In conclusion, Dr. Fredericks says that if you’re finding a ton of spotted lanternflies on your property, consider contacting a qualified pest control professional. 

“A pest pro may have additional recommendations to help reduce their numbers in your yard and may also direct you to your state’s department of agriculture for additional support,” he says.

Anyone who grew up watching Star Warsalmost imagined themselves in the pilot's seat of Han Solo's iconic space freighter, the Millennium Falcon.

Nowadays, the folks at Disney have managed to make that nostalgic dream a reality, transporting visitors to the farthest reaches of George Lucas's space opera galaxy.

While the initial iterations of Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run have been met with an altogether positive response from fans, Disney's more recent change to the ride has helped the attraction go from a fun-filled sci-fi adventure into one of the single best experiences in Disney's Hollywood Studios.

According to multiple Disney-centric blogs on social media, the company has recently updated Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run to include several major changes.

Along with bringing Pedro Pascal's beloved Mandalorian and Grogu to the attraction, the biggest change to the ride involves a more hands-on experience for the rider occupying the "Engineer" class aboard the ship.

Whereas before the Engineer was fairly limited in their onboard responsibilities compared to the Pilot and Gunner classes, the new update allows these riders to actually choose which destination the ship will fly to, including such iconic Star Warsplanets as Bespin, Endor and Coruscant.

As expected, the change has been met with an unwaveringly positive response from fans, many of whom were quick to point out that the Engineer class can "finally" have a significant role in the action.

"Huge improvement," one fan wrote on Instagram. "Being the engineer before was so lame."

"LETS GOOOO," another user agreed. "Finally a single rider can have fun too."

"Single rider here I come!" a third account added. "Can't wait to pick the destination."

The new changes are meant to coincide with the recent release of The Mandalorianand Grogu, the latest Star Wars film following in the footsteps of the popular Disney+ TV series, in theaters on May 22.

As the chaos that is TLC's Welcome to Plathville Season 8 continues to unfold, one of its stars has soft-launched a new romance on social media.

Teegan Nichols, the former girlfriend of Ethan Plath, shared a slideshow of photos of a family trip to New York City on Instagram. The reality guest-star dated the eldest Plath son for some time before their relationship fizzled.

Nichols posted 20 images of the trip, where she showed off her tour of the city for what appeared to be a celebration of a college graduation. However, it was a series of five images posted with a mystery man that had fans flocking to her comments section.

She captioned the slideshow "All grace, no waist." Nowhere in the post did she mention her new beau, nor did she share a full-face shot, preferring to conceal his identity.

However, Welcome to Plathville fans had plenty to say about Nichols soft-launching a new relationship as she and Plath continue to work out their problems during Season 8 of the TLC series.

"I do think you should have told Ethan you were completely done. It was so obvious," wrote one follower.

A second fan penned, "Happiness looks good on you! Glad you prioritized you and kept moving forward."

"That ruined the season," declared a third Instagram user. A fourth viewer declared, "Y'all do realize the show is months behind real life. Plus, when you break up, you're allowed to move on."

During the Season 8 premiere, Plath told producers that he and Nichols had broken up. "I knew that she was tired of long distance. And I kept telling her that I would move to Wisconsin, and I never did. You can only tell someone so many times, 'I'm going to do this,' and then you don't, that it just doesn't mean anything."

However, he was determined to get her back, which culminated in a surprise move to her home state of Wisconsin. The series showed Nichols as she pushed back at Plath's attempts to win her affection, as she said she was "friend-zoning" their relationship.

Many factors played a part in Nichols' decision, she said, including Plath not being divorced from his first wife, Olivia (which was finalized in February 2025), and his inability to fully commit to their relationship.

Season 8 continues to prominently feature Ethan Plath and Teegan Nichols' relationship. The series airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET on TLC.

If you’ve ever found yourself frantically refreshing your phone at a crowded airport gate, praying for a flight update, Delta Air Lines is trying to take the panic out of your summer travel season. The airline just announced a massive tech and amenity rollout designed to put travelers back in the driver's seat, and the star of the show is a brand-new, AI-powered in-app assistant.

Dubbed the Delta Concierge, this exclusive digital helper is currently in its Beta phase for select SkyMiles Members, but the airline plans to roll it out to all eligible app users by the end of the summer. Think of it as a smart pocket assistant that instantly answers questions about your trip and SkyMiles status. More importantly, it handles the stressful stuff: recent updates allow you to cancel flights with ease, and if bad weather hits, the concierge will automatically serve up alternative flight options and help you book them on the spot.

It’s a smart pivot toward autonomy, especially since Delta's internal data shows that passengers who actively use their digital tools report much higher satisfaction. To back that up, the airline is introducing expanded standby options later this summer for nearby co-terminals (meaning you can list yourself for a flight into JFK instead of EWR if plans shift) and a new virtual queue system at airport "Need Help" Centers, allowing you to scan a QR code and wait for an agent from the comfort of your phone instead of standing in a physical line.

Once you actually get past the gate, the upgrades shift from tech support to pure comfort. SkyMiles Members already get fast, free Wi-Fi on more than 1,200 aircraft, but Delta is leaning heavily into its onboard Delta Sync portal just in time for the summer rush. Starting now, sports fans can stream FOX One—the official English platform of the FIFA World Cup 2026™—and catch all 104 matches in pristine 4K right from their seats.

Even the snack cart is getting a major upgrade. As of May 19, Delta expanded its full beverage and premium snack service to roughly 600 daily flights. Passengers in Comfort and Main Cabin on routes 350 miles and above can now expect the full-service treatment, featuring fan favorites like Cheez-It crackers, MadeGood chocolate chip granola bars and those iconic Lotus Biscoff cookies. Whether you're trying to dodge a summer thunderstorm or just trying to catch a soccer match at 35,000 feet, the airline's latest updates are making it a lot easier to travel with confidence.

Bringing Up Bates' Katie Bates Clark is opening up about her marriage to Travis Clark four months after he confessed to an extramarital affair.

"Marriage can be hard at times and unfortunately what Travis did certainly did not make things easier," Katie shared in a Q&A posted to her Instagram Story on Wednesday, May 20. "Trav and l are working through things and making really good progress, but there are definitely still hard days. With God's help we're both continuing to show up for each other and our children as we work through this difficult time."

The mom-of-two also revealed she began seeing a therapist shortly after the affair became public in January.

"The first time I really got connected with a therapist was back in February and it's genuinely been life changing for me," Katie said. "I didn't realize how much I needed it until I finally started opening up and working through things. It's helped me understand myself better, process difficult emotions in a healthier way, and I truly think it's been one of the best decisions I've made for myself."

The affair is not the only hardship Katie has faced in the past few months, either. Elsewhere in the Q&A, she opened up about a family rift, noting she "lost relationships" with "90%" of her family after speaking out about a past trauma.

Additionally, days before Travis's affair went public in January, Katie shared online that she had recently suffered a miscarriage.

When a fan asked her how she was doing during the Q&A, Katie responded, "Honestly, the answer to this question depends on the day you ask me and sometimes even the hour."

"I feel like I'm doing pretty good overall. I definitely still have moments of frustration and sadness, but I'm also carrying a lot of hope and happiness too," she continued. "I don't think there's a perfect way to handle everything, but I'm trying my best and trying to give myself grace through it all."

Katie and Travis married in December 2021 and share children Hailey, 3, and Harvey, 1. They are best known for starring in Katie’s family’s upTV reality series, Bringing Up Bates, which documented Katie’s parents, Gil and Kelly Jo Bates, and their 19 children for 10 seasons from 2015 to 2021.

But for serious cruise fans, the real reason to pay attention to this flash sale is that it provides a perfect baseline for what’s coming down the pipeline. While travelers can currently cash in on quick Bahamas hops or Western Caribbean sailings, the brand is actively building momentum for its massive flagship expansion.

The week Alex Rodriguez watched his younger daughter Ella walk across a graduation stage and shared joyful family photos with thousands of well-wishers is the same week he found out the public would learn his relationship of nearly three years was over.

On May 21, fitness instructor Jaclyn Cordeiro confirmed to TMZ that she and Rodriguez, 50, had parted ways. Her statement described the split as mutual and marked by care on both sides. 'There continues to be mutual love, care, and deep respect between us and for our families. We remain supportive of one another, and there is absolutely no animosity, drama, or negative story here,' it said. Cordeiro also shared that she is currently managing a serious health matter involving a family member, and asked for compassion from anyone covering the story.

A source close to Rodriguez told TMZ the couple had actually separated roughly two months earlier, and that the public announcement was simply a matter of putting a clear, respectful close on what had already ended privately.

Rodriguez and Cordeiro were first linked in October 2022, went public on Instagram two months later, and spent nearly three years visible together at NBA games, family events, and public appearances. The relationship represented a different chapter for Rodriguez, whose prior high-profile engagement toJennifer Lopez ended in 2021 after four years and drew intense media scrutiny throughout. Cordeiro, a fitness entrepreneur and single mother to two daughters, brought a lower-key dynamic to his public life, largely built around their respective families rather than the spotlight.

The breakup news arrived just a day after Rodriguez posted graduation photos with Ella, who is headed to UNC Chapel Hill. Those photos showed a warm co-parenting moment: Rodriguez alongside his ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis, their older daughter Natasha, and extended family. The post drew more than 35,000 likes. The contrast between those two pieces of news landing within 24 hours of each other is what has given this story its particular irony with a milestone passed and a relationship closed in the same week.

Rodriguez has not commented publicly on the split. Cordeiro's statement seems to have covered the ground that needed covering. After years of being scrutinized as the man who came after one of the most famous celebrity engagements in recent memory, he has largely stepped away from that kind of story.

At 50, Rodriguez remains a prominent presence in baseball media as an analyst for Fox Sports, appearing regularly alongside Derek Jeter and David Ortiz on post-game coverage. His personal life, as he has signaled in interviews over the past few years, is something he has grown content to keep closer to home. Fans who have followed his journey from Yankee legend to broadcasting career to father of two celebrating his daughter's next chapter will likely be waiting to to see what comes next.
