Elon Musk and his partner Shivon Zilis have called it quits.
Zilis, 40, announced the split Oct. 2, in an X post after a big-tech-focused X account shared that Musk was no longer following Zilis, who shares four children with the ******* eX and Tesla CEO.
"It's hard to go from in love to let go in a week with no warning, but that's just how it is sometimes," Zilis wrote in an X post. "I feel happy that I got to show Elon how it feels to be deeply understood, nurtured, and peacefully loved with stability and gentleness."
Zilis also attached a screenshot of what appeared to be some of the final text messages she and Musk exchanged before the split.
Zilis, a Yale-educated tech executive, first crossed paths with the South African-born businessman when she joined OpenAI in 2016, and according to People, the couple's romance began after Musk acted as her sperm donor.

Matt Bell, 52, has been farming for more than half his life in central North Carolina. He grows soybeans, corn and wheat and raises beef cattle on more than 1,000 acres. But Bell, who voted for President Trump, says soaring prices for fuel, fertilizer, and equipment are hurting his farm and leading some of his fellow farmers to consider calling it quits once this growing season ends.
"I've done this 34 years. I have never worried and stressed like I have the last year," Bell told CBS News in an interview on Wednesday at his farm in Kings Mountain, North Carolina.
Bell has been forced to make significant changes to his operation as a result of the high costs. He's shifting some of his acreage, trying to stretch out the lifespan of his equipment and producing his own fertilizer. His children have also opened up a storefront where visitors can pick pumpkins and take hayrides in the fall. But Bell is still feeling the pinch.
"We've cut everything we can cut," he said. "The last several years in agriculture have been terrible, and we have, you know, just cut the fat anywhere we could. But we're just getting to the point now there's nothing left to cut. You cannot run without fuel. You cannot run without fertilizer. You have to have that."

Max Verstappen has admitted he came close to stepping away from Formula 1 before extending his deal with Red Bull last month, despite holding discussions with rival teams.
Speaking to German publication Bild after agreeing a deal until 2030, the four-time world champion discussed retirement thoughts and confirmed talks took place with McLaren.
"You have to take every conversation with another team seriously," Verstappen said. "But in the end, I was closer to quitting Formula 1 than to signing with another racing team."
"You either quit or you don't, so it's a 50/50 decision," he added. "I seriously considered calling it quits. But at the end of the day, I just love racing."
The 28-year-old won four consecutive F1 **** les from 2021 to 2024, but remains winless this season. He sits sixth in the standings following Sunday's runner-up finish at the Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid, 147 points adrift of Mercedes leader Kimi Antonelli.

"Selling Sunset" star Christine Quinn's husband, Christian Dumontet, has listed the sprawling Los Angeles home the former couple once shared as their contentious divorce battle continues.
Dumontet filed for divorce from the real estate agent—who is set to make her return to the Netflix reality series—in April 2024, after he was arrested following an alleged domestic violence incident. He was later detained for allegedly violating a temporary restraining order requiring him to stay away from the property.
The tech entrepreneur purchased the home for $5 million in 2019, the same year he and Quinn tied the knot in an extravagant Gothic-themed wedding.
However, their relationship ultimately unraveled, with the pair calling it quits in 2024.
Amid their ongoing divorce proceedings, Dumontet asked a judge to grant him exclusive control of the Los Angeles property so he could put it on the market. He argued that he purchased the residence before the couple married and had continued covering its mortgage, taxes, and insurance.

You never know what Aaron Rodgers is going to say when he's behind a mic, and a new Not Just Football podcast with Pittsburgh Steelers teammate Cam Heyward served as a fresh reminder.
Most recently, Rodgers broke his silence on his public breakup with ex-girlfriend Danica Patrick
Rodgers and the former NASCAR star broke up in 2020 after dating for nearly two years. Following their breakup, Patrick accused him of being "emotionally abusive" during their relationship. Rodgers is now sharing his side of the story.
The 42-year-old NFL signal-caller took shots at Patrick for being "depressed" during their relationship, and ultimately cited a lack of intimacy and her "not fun to be around" as reasons for calling it quits.

Well, there is something about first love. You don't forget it so easily, especially when the story begins with a suspenseful, romance-novel twist. That was certainly the case for social media star Alix Earle and New York Giants wide receiver Braxton Berrios. Earle originally sparked curiosity back in 2023 when she casually introduced him to her followers as the mysterious "NFL man" she was making sushi with. After nearly three years together, the fan-favorite couple officially called it quits last December.
As Earle decided to move on from that chapter of her life, she rented a big truck to move out of her ex-boyfriend's house two months after the breakup. With her best friend Sally in the passenger seat and Earle behind the wheel, the content creator discussed what went wrong between the couple.
"There's a ton of pressure that comes from, like, having a public relationship and sharing so much and people loving our relationship. But we were both busy in our careers and doing long distance at the time. We weren't talking as much. We were barely communicating. There was a lack of intimacy towards the end of the relationship, and it started to just, like, dwindle away a little bit,"Earle said on the first episode of reality series Earle Meets World, released on Friday on Netflix.
Earle and Berrios met at a Gatsby-themed party in Miami. A friend of Berrios approached Earle to tell her to talk to Berrios, so Earle walked up to Berrios, shoved her hand in his face, and asked, "You wanted to meet me?" The two eventually hit it off, but Earle had to leave the party early without saying goodbye to the WR.

Coming out of college, Cam Skattebo gave himself one rule.
The hard-nosed Giants running back told Kay Adams on Thursday's episode of Up & Adams that if he ever suffered a major injury he would walk away from football.
Seven games into his career, that exact scenario presented itself.
Skattebo, of course, saw his rookie season cut short as he suffered a gruesome ankle injury during a Week 8 meeting with the Eagles that required season-ending surgery.
The 25-year-old admitted that he did contemplate calling it a quits one month into the recovery, but ultimately decided his time had not yet come.

US stock futures meandered on Tuesday morning as uncertainty around the war in Iran, the bond market, and the Fed's next interest rate move largely kept buyers on the sidelines.
Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average (YM=F) and S&P 500 (ES=F) fell about 0.5%, while Nasdaq-100 (NQ=F) contracts dipped 1% after stocks closed August with solid gains.
Stocks entered September with double-digit year-to-date returns and earnings expectations that continue to rise. However, volatile oil prices and the potential return of Fed rate hikes have given investors reason to worry heading into the historically weakest month for stocks.
Crude oil prices remained elevated after the US and Iran returned to a hot war on Sunday, with Brent futures (BZ=F), the global benchmark, trading near $90 per barrel. Treasury yields have also stayed high, with the 10-year yield (^TNX) rising to 4.75%.
On Tuesday, the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) will kick off a string of labor market updates this week, offering a look at hiring and quits ahead of the monthly jobs report on Friday. Data releases from S&P Global and the Institute for Supply Management will also give insight into manufacturing activity.

Holly Marie Combs has revealed she has "retired" from acting.
The Charmed star broke the news of her decision to step back from the screen during an episode of her House of Halliwell podcast on 25 August.
"The stuff that I was getting and coming across my desk was just nothing that I was like, 'Oh my gosh, this is really great. I need to do this,'" Combs explained. "And being in, you know, that 40 to 50 range, the job pool gets even smaller and smaller. And I feel like the roles get a little less interesting."
It's been nearly seven years since the Pretty Little Liars actor has appeared in an on-screen role.
The 52-year-old now lives in Washington state with her husband Mike Ryan and her three kids, Finley, 22, Riley, 19, and Kelley, 17, whom she shares with her ex-husband David Donoho.
Spending more time with her family is another reason she's decided to call it quits.

Post Malone and Christy Lee are back together and reportedly engaged.
In photos shared on social media by several fan accounts, Lee is shown wearing a large engagement ring.
Neither the Circles singer nor his stylist partner have announced their engagement on their personal social media pages.
Malone, whose real name is Austin Post, and Lee started dating in early 2025. They were spotted on a romantic trip to Paris in April, however, just two months later, the two called it quits, TMZ reported.
The 29-year-old singer and rapper split from his fiancée, Hee Sung 'Jamie' Park in November 2024.
The former couple recently settled a litigious custody battle over their four-year-old daughter, who was born in June 2022 and is known in legal documents only by her initials, DDP.

Nevertheless, Beverley believes that media narratives played a big role in the generally negative public perception of Westbrook, which forced the future Hall of Famer to call it quits instead. "I'm going to be honest. I felt like he had a lot of game left. I feel like he played really well last season. I think the media killed his game. I'm going to be honest. I think the media is so strong that it allowed fans to call him names and have opinions about his game, which also forced team owners, GMs, and presidents to look at him a certain way," Beverley said on the newest episode of his The Pat Bev Show.

Reggie Morris Jr. won't just remember the way Russell Westbrook changed basketball. Even after Westbrook's retirement, his former high school coach chooses to see the way the former Lawndale Leuzinger star is changing the city that raised him. That's even more important than the NBA record 209 triple-doubles. "I believe that his impact on this community," Morris said, "is far greater than his basketball impact." — 8/18/2026 Los Angeles Times
Even during the season, Westbrook made himself available to players on his EYBL teams as often as possible, visiting between playoff runs or at least supporting them through social media. "They feel his presence when he's there, and he's hands-on in the situation," Morris said. "He's not just giving money; he's trying to help the kids, give them a different aspect or a different take on what he knows and give it back to them." — 8/18/2026 Los Angeles Times
"He didn't back down from anybody," said Morris, now the director of Westbrook's Team Why Not EYBL team and the boys' basketball head coach at Redondo Union. "He was fearless. He was relentless. There's never really been a player quite like him. I would say he kind of has, like, a Charles Barkley, a young Charles Barkley spirit, where he was just passionate and fiery. He wasn't PC. He wore his emotions on his sleeves, and he didn't really apologize to anyone for how he felt or what he was there to do." — 8/18/2026 Los Angeles Times

The time has come. The NBA has officially dropped its 2026-27 regular-season schedule. As with anything in life, there are winners and losers — let's dive in.
Look, I'm a big fan of a good social media product. Russell Westbrook called it quits on a fruitful 18-year career and did so with aplomb, a beautifully crafted mini-movie highlighting all the best parts of his time in the NBA.
I'm also a fan of removing all of the pomp and circumstance and getting right to brass tacks with a schedule release, as well. And who better to do this with than Suns wing Dillon Brooks? Phoenix's social-media release was a hilarious breath of fresh air, a reminder that, yes, all 30 teams in fact do play against each other. Brooks, who looks anything but camera-ready, **** up the script, throws it at the camera and declares, "We play everyone," before staring directly at the camera in a manner similar to his trademark pregame ritual. It's obvious. It's brilliant.
I'm sure most of you are familiar with comedians/actors Keegan Michael-Key and Jordan Peele, and their old hit sketch comedy show, "Key & Peele." If not, get hip to it. For those that do remember the series, you'll immediately recall the infamous Substitute Teacher skit, featuring an enraged Key charged with taking attendance of his class. The only issue is Key is unable to **** ounce anyone's name.
Introducing the Dallas Mavericks' social-media schedule release. Adding current players Dereck Lively and Max Christie to the scene — with some of the students wearing opponent team gear — was the icing on the cake in their homage to the original. Bravo.

Nearly half of workers say they've recently changed jobs or plan to within six months, but many remain stuck.
Nearly half of applicants say they've massaged their materials—mostly by omission, not fabrication—as competition has ramped up for scarce openings.
Job searching has become a daily habit for many American workers. Landing a new job, though, remains the hard part.
That's according to FlexJobs' State of the Job Search Report, which shows the low-hire, low-fire labor market continues to frustrate the many workers itching to move on. Nearly half of workers said they recently changed jobs or plan to within six months. More than half said they search for openings every day.
Government data on job turnover tells the other half of the story. The quits rate held at 2.0% in June, and employers hired at a rate of just 3.4%, both near their weakest levels in years, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported last week.

New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reportedly split from ex-fiancé Riley Roberts before deciding to freeze her eggs.
Leigh Ann Caldwell, Puck's Chief Washington Correspondent, reported on Tuesday, August 11, that Ocasio-Cortez, 36, and Roberts called it quits, though the timeline remains unclear.
"I was told by a reputable Democratic source about 18 months ago that her engagement was called off," Caldwell shared via X. "AOC stopped wearing her engagement ring several months before that."
TMZ also reported the former couple had gone their separate ways, pointing to Ocasio-Cortez and Roberts last being photographed at the Met Gala in 2021.
However, one user on X pointed out that Manhattan's Black Iron Burger shared a photo of Ocasio-Cortez with an unidentified man in May. Meanwhile, another suggested she and Roberts were recently seen walking together — although the subjects in the photo cannot be identified as it only shows the back of their heads.

Last December, USC signed the No. 1 recruiting class in college football. Now, those signees are true freshmen looking to immediately make an impact for the Trojans.
So which of them could contribute right away? In a recent story, Billy Tucker of ESPN listed the 51 true freshmen most poised to make an impact this college football season. Included on the list was USC defensive lineman Luke Wafle.
"Wafle surged to No. 24 on the SC Next 300 and earned his fifth star late in the recruiting process," Tucker wrote. "He's one of the most college-ready defensive linemen in this class, and the Trojans need him now. Listed at 6-6, 265 pounds, he pairs pad leverage with a quick get-off that stresses tackles off the edge, and his motor simply never quits. After USC's front wore down late last season, Wafle's contributions early on could be the fix."
Wafle finished the 2026 cycle as the No. 1 overall recruit in the Rivals rankings. He became the fourth top recruit to sign with USC, joining Joe McKnight in 2007, Matt Barkley in 2009, and Korey Foreman in 2021. It will be interesting to see what role he plays for the Trojans as a true freshman this fall.

The San Francisco 49ers may have a problem on their hands as they search for a starting left guard, but the return of a rookie offensive linemen provides a new potential solution.
Rookie fifth-round pick Carver Willis was back in practice Monday after working through the NFL's concussion protocol. He was lining up with the second-team offensive line at left guard according to ESPN's Nick Wagoner.
That's a significant inclusion to the mix at left guard for the 49ers and offensive line coach Chris Foerster. Second-year seventh-round pick Connor Colby started training camp as the first-team LG, but he gave way to veteran Robert Jones who hasn't had a ton of success according to reports from the team facility.
Willis, an offensive tackle at the University of Washington, was supposed to start factoring in for the 49ers a week ago when he went down with a concussion. Now he's back and while he isn't up with the starters yet, his immediate insertion with the second group could portend a move up the training camp depth chart if he acquits himself well as a reserve.
It doesn't sound like the bar is high for someone to ******* ert themselves as the starter. Willis has the learning curve of a position change to deal with while also making the leap from college to the NFL. It's a difficult move, but not an impossible one, and it appears the 49ers are hoping he may be able to do it in Year 1.

"Landman" star Ali Larter's storybook romance proves that when you know, you know – but she also knows when it's time to call it quits with the heavy makeup. Larter filmed the Paramount+ series in Fort Worth, Texas, meaning long hours in high heat and humidity, where the last thing on anyone's mind is perfecting a full beat. While makeup artists relied on heavy powders to keep the actors' makeup set under the harsh lighting, the star admitted she would push back against her makeup artist in favor of a glowier look. "I don't like powder, so it's usually my makeup artist fighting to put powder on me, and I'm saying no—I just would prefer to look shiny," she told NewBeauty in July 2026.
Larter's preference for a more lived-in complexion also aligns with the growing trend of choosing a glowy, skin-like perfection over an overly matte complexion – a beauty trend celebrity makeup artists call outdated in 2026. In lieu of consistent touch-ups, the actor's team opted for blotting papers to reduce some of the oils that accumulate throughout filming. "For longer days, if I am really sweaty — usually we're sweaty because it's Texas — they do a lot of blotting papers," she explained to the outlet. The simple swap kept excess oil at bay without sacrificing the fresh complexion and comfort she preferred.

Part of Ali Larter's complete transformation came from her commitment to skincare. During the demanding production schedule for "Landman," the actor used her lunch break to refresh her skin and her mindset before going back to filming. During the cast's 30-minute lunch break, she would remove her under-eye makeup to apply eye masks and meditate for 20 minutes before stepping back in front of the camera.

Following a week of mixed data on hiring and layoffs, figures coming Friday from the Labor Department will be the arbiter of whether the job market remained stable in July.
Economists surveyed by Bloomberg expect the US economy added 80,000 positions, while the unemployment rate is expected to stay flat at 4.2%. That would be an improvement from June's jobs report, which showed payrolls grew by 57,000 jobs.
Private data released this week on the health of the labor market has been largely benign. Job openings slowed a touch in June, with little movement in quits, layoffs, and hiring rates. Private-sector hiring data from ADP, meanwhile, showed growth fell short of economists' predictions last month, but pay for job-switchers improved — a small bright spot. And the global outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas reported that layoff plans declined last month, while hiring plans increased.
An ******* ysis from the Bank of America Institute published Wednesday also noted that payroll growth appeared to accelerate in July, based on deposit account data. Job gains were led by lower-income households, while their annual after-tax wage growth surpassed that of higher-income households for the first time since December 2024.
"What's driving the pick-up in after-tax wage growth among lower-income households? Alongside strong job growth, we have also observed a rise in job-to-job movements disproportionately boosting lower-income pay growth," the ******* ysis said.

Pete Davidson seems to have found a new love interest three months after his split from Elsie Hewitt.
On Monday night, the comedian was spotted in Brooklyn with Love Thy Nader star Sarah Jane Nader. In a video obtained by Deuxmoi, the two appeared to be walking very close to one another before Pete, dressed in an oversized blue t-shirt and sweatpants, opened his car's passenger door for the reality star, who was wearing a white corset top and a pair of heels.
Their outing comes just months after Pete and Elsie called it quits a little over a year after they began dating.
ZUMAPRESS.com / MEGA
Their relationship issues allegedly began after the birth of their daughter, Scottie Rose, who was born in December 2025. Pete was reportedly being pulled in different directions, with an insider saying his work schedule started to come between his time with Elsie and Scottie. Just days before the news broke, Pete was in Los Angeles filming The Roast of Kevin Hart, skipping out on Mother's Day with his family.

Gianni Infantino's position as Fifa president is growing untenable as regional governing bodies continue to officially reject his plan to sell-off stakes of the World Cup to private investors.
Uefa's 55 member **** ociations insisted they would not participate in any Fifa tournament until plans for the Fifa Forward Enterprise (FFE) were withdrawn and have confirmed that they will even boycott the next World Cup should they go through.
World Cup boycott latest: Infantino's senior adviser quits after Fifa refuses to back down over Uefa protest
Concacaf, the governing body for North America and the Caribbean, reiterated their own concerns over the lack of consultation and rejected the proposal, as did the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) who called for an "urgent review of its governance" at Fifa - piling more pressure on Infantino.
Fifa has so far refused to back down, insisting that "nobody is selling football" while **** erting that their consultation process was "disrupted by incorrect media reports", a move that felt like it was right out of the Donald Trump playbook.

DAYTONA BEACH — Naismith Hall of Famer, Daytona Beach native and Mainland High School graduate Vince Carter played professional basketball for a long time. Like, a really long time.
Carter's 22-year career from 1998-2020 is the second-longest in the history of the NBA, having just been exceeded by LeBron James during the 2025-26 season.
The eight-time All-Star and dunk extraordinaire called it quits after the COVID-shortened 2020 season and transferred to another career he'd been building for years — sports broadcasting.
In 2025, Carter became a studio ****** yst for NBC alongside fellow All-Stars Carmelo Anthony and Tracy McGrady.
Broadcasting has been a natural second act for retired professional athletes because they tend to know a lot about the sport they dedicated their lives to. It was an avenue Carter had already been eyeing for his post-NBA life, only for it to get postponed with each season he returned.

Trace Adkins says he has forgiven his second wife, Julie Lauren Curtis, for shooting him through the heart and lungs during an argument more than three decades ago.
The country singer revisited the near-fatal 1994 incident during a July 28 appearance on This Past Weekend With Theo Von.
Although Adkins joked that Curtis "took it a little far," he also described the point-blank gunshot as a "kill shot" that he would not have survived without emergency medical care.
Adkins declined to press charges after the shooting. He now says he does not believe Curtis fully understood what the gun would do when she pulled the trigger.
"That took it a little far, I thought," he told Theo Von. "That was uncalled for. That was totally uncalled for. Just leave. Let's just call it quits, and we don't have to go that far." According to Adkins, Curtis was angry and wanted him to leave their home, but he refused. During the argument, she placed the gun beneath his left arm. When he told her to give it to him, she fired.

Alex Bowman isn't done driving just yet, but he'll be calling it quits on his NASCAR career soon.
Hendrick Motorsports announced Thursday, July 23, that Bowman has signed a one-year extension to continue driving the No. 48 Chevrolet but will retire from full-time racing after the 2027 season.
The 33-year-old Bowman has been a full-time driver in the top-level Cup Series since 2014, but has just one victory in the last four seasons and missed four races earlier this year because of vertigo. He also missed three races in 2023 because of a fractured vertebra and five races in 2022 after suffering a concussion.
"Alex has meant so much to our organization for a long time," said Rick Hendrick, owner of Hendrick Motorsports. "He's overcome adversity, won big races and represented our team and partners with professionalism, personality and class. Alex is a tremendous talent in the race car and an even better person outside of it. We're proud he'll have the opportunity to finish his full-time career with us on his terms. He's family."
A native of Tucson, Arizona, Bowman has eight victories across 371 Cup Series races and holds the record for most consecutive starts on the front row of the Daytona 500 with six. He won the pole at the Super Bowl of stockcar racing three times in his career.

After what was a decent overall performance from the German national team at EURO 2024 on home soil where they were a Marc Cucurella non-called handball away from progressing to the semifinals, Die Mannschaft came crashing back to earth at this summer’s World Cup.
From the EUROs under Julian Nagelsmann, there was some renewed belief after disaster World Cups in 2022 in Qatar and 2018 in Russia where Germany failed to make it out of their groups and EURO 2020 had a different air about it knowing that it was Joachim Löw’s last act as manner. The knowledge of a forthcoming managerial change made crashing out against England at Wembley in the round of 16 a bit less painful, though the images of THAT Thomas Müller second half miss 1v1 with Jordan Pickford still haunts Germany fans.
Now, change is on the horizon again and Jürgen Klopp is set to take over the Germany job to replace Nagelsmann after the DFB essentially gave him the chance to resign himself as opposed to axing him outright after crashing out of the World Cup. While the final details get sorted out, Klopp will finish out his punditry duties with MagentaTV and eventually activate the release clause in his contract with Red Bull GmbH as their head of global football that’s specifically for taking the Germany job.
Klopp and managing the national team is a match that a lot of Germans have been begging for since he called it quits at Liverpool. Now, though, the time has come to actually turn that dream into a reality and out Germany back on the top of the pedestal it was on in 2014 in Brazil.
The big question loom large for now. Will the 2026 World Cup failure and bringing in Klopp fuel inspired runs at EURO 2028 and World Cup 2030?

Travis Kelce's ex, Kayla Nicole, enjoyed a pleasant night as the Chiefs Tight End married Taylor Swift. Nicole shared a serene photo of the sunset inside an apartment building on her Instagram Stories. Swift and Kelce got married in New York City's iconic Madison Square Garden on July 3 in the presence of their close friends and family. Notably, Kelce and Nicole dated for five years before splitting in 2022.
Travis Kelce's ex Kayla Nicole shared a dreamy snap of a glowing sunset while her former boyfriend married Taylor Swift. Nicole wrote atop the image: "Look at her." She did not mention her location (via Page Six).
Ever since Kelce and Nicole called it quits, the fitness influencer has reflected on her romance and subsequent breakup with the Chiefs tight end.
During a TikTok Live conversation with "Love Island" star Ace Greene, she spoke about her ex without taking any names directly. The host asked her when her last relationship was. To which Nicole replied: "Probably, like, three years ago now. It's been a long time" (via TMZ).
The host then probed: "Why did your last relationship not work?" To which the 34-year-old replied: "Who knows? Could be compatibility issues, right person, wrong time."
