Another reality TV showmance bites the dust.
"The Challenge" star Cory Wharton and Taylor Selfridge have broken up after nine years, the pair announced in separate statements shared on social media Thursday, Oct. 8.
The pair, who met on Season 1 of MTV's "Ex on the Beach," will coparent their two daughters though they are not splitting on the best of terms.
"Yes I left. I was sick of not getting basic respect from the person I was with for 9 years and the father of my twochildren. I'm sure everyone could tell the last few years," Selfridge wrote in her statement shared on her Instagram Story. "I deserve more than that and I'll get it. End of story."
Wharton shared a more positive statement on his Instagram Story, looking ahead at a new chapter with "Just me and my girls. ❤️"

Alan Ritchson and his wife, Catherine, are putting a positive spin on their shock divorce, but friends of the former couple are bracing themselves for a messy situation in the months ahead, a source tells the National Enquirer.
"People around Alan were pretty shocked at the timing of this break-up, especially because being an involved, sensitive dad has been central to Alan's identity for so long," reveals the source. "That's still the thing he's most broken up about with this divorce: it's going to mean less time with [sons Calem, Edan and Amory] and there's almost nothing he can do about that."
After twenty years of marriage, the Reacher star, 43, and his writer-producer wife, 42, announced their split in a joint Instagram post on September 12, pledging to become the "strongest co-parents" they can be. "We also want to give each other room to grow into the people we are becoming," the statement read.
"[Alan] was quite protective of Catherine and the kids when the Reacher series first got started, and then the show kind of took over everything and made him richer and way more famous than he ever expected," admits the source. "It's a lot to go through in just a few short years, and Alan's insane training schedule, completely apart from the long filming days, didn't make things easier."

The US economy is stacking up wins, even if it doesn't feel that way for many households because of the resurgence in inflation.
The economy has now posted 78 consecutive months of expansion, the sixth-longest business cycle since 1854, per new ***** ysis from The Kobeissi Letter. This is well above the long-term average of 49 months and the median of 38 months.

By comparison, the longest period for the US economy without a recession was between 2009 and 2020, at 128 months. The record of course was broken by the aftershocks of the COVID-19 pandemic, which ground the economy to a halt.

"Unconventional monetary policy, historically large budget deficits, alongside the AI investment boom, appear to be extending the duration of business cycles. The data says the US economy is remarkably strong," The Kobeissi Letter team said.
Meanwhile, the US economy is nearing an impressive achievement on the unemployment front.
The US unemployment rate is nearing a record number of consecutive months below 5%, Truist chief strategist Keith Lerner said in a note on Monday. The longtime record dates back to the mid-1960s.

Russia on Monday sought to downplay reports that a laboratory technician had died of plague, even as President Donald Trump said Washington was closely monitoring the situation and offered US help.
Reports on Friday that pneumonic plague had killed a 28-year-old woman named Darya Shipilova, who had been working for the anti-plague institute in Siberia's Irkutsk region, sparked alarm.
"We're looking at it very strongly, we just heard about it," Trump told reporters at the White House when asked what Washington was going to do about the risk of plague coming from Russia.
"We'll help them, we'll help them as much as we can."
The Russian news outlet People of Baikal, citing unnamed sources close to the regional security services, said the dead woman may have contracted pneumonic plague from a broken test tube.

General Hospital alum Chris McKenna just revealed he needs emergency jaw surgery this week.
The former Jack recently shared a health update on X, posting an X-ray of his jaw and writing, "I had a broken crown fixed last month and they discovered a spot on my x-ray."
He continued, explaining what this means for his mouth: "Turns out I need emergency surgery in the morning to remove a cyst that has eaten away at my jawbone and have a bone graft. Good thing I broke that tooth! This is gonna hurt but lucky we caught it."
While this certainly isn't something McKenna wanted to hear, the former soap star is making the best of the scary situation. Shortly after his announcement, he posted, "The good news is I'm gonna be on pain meds for weeks and my tweets might be hilarious."

Caleb Flynn was found guilty of murdering his wife, Ashley Flynn.
An Ohio man who was found guilty of murdering his wife and staging the crime scene to make it seem as if an intruder had broken into their home and fatally shot the mother of two was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Caleb Flynn, 40, a former pastor who once appeared as a contestant on "American Idol" in 2013, was found guilty of aggravated murder and multiple counts of murder, felonious **** ault and tampering with evidence in connection with the death of his wife, 37-year-old Ashley Flynn.
Judge Jeannine Pratt called the former pastor's actions "abhorrent" and "quite honestly impossible to fathom" while handing down the life sentence on Monday.
Caleb Flynn called 911 early on Feb. 16 to report that his wife had been shot by an intruder at their home in Tipp City, north of Dayton. He was arrested three days later. Prosecutors alleged that Caleb Flynn "executed" his wife by shooting her twice in the back of the head in bed so that he could be with his mistress and manipulated the crime scene to make it seem as if an intruder had broken in through the garage.

Aubrey O'Day doubts that being in prison will be effective for her former label head, Diddy.
With reports surfacing that the Bad Boy Records founder, real name Sean Combs, will once again have his prison release pushed up, this time to January 2028, O'Day also reacted to allegations that he's living a pampered life behind bars. According to what several former Fort Dix inmates told NBC News, the 56-year-old has paid to be cleaned and cooked for, along with getting massages.
"Thank you, Chloe [Melas] for doing this investigation," the vocalist posted on X in response to the story. "People should understand the difference between rehabilitation and a ****** vacation. The system is broken- this man will come back a worse criminal."

The report spoke to four men from Diddy's unit. It alleges that the mogul had access to cellphones, antidepressants, and Hennessy.

A US man who once appeared on the TV talent competition American Idol has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for murdering his wife.
Caleb Flynn, 40, was found guilty last week after a short deliberation by the jury, which rejected his claim that an intruder broke into his Ohio home and shot his wife, Ashley Flynn, as she slept.
He was also found guilty of eight additional charges, including aggravated murder and tampering with evidence.
Letters from his two daughters were read in court during the sentencing hearing on Monday, pleading with him to finally admit his guilt and questioning why he killed their mother.
Flynn, a former music pastor, fatally shot his wife, a 37-year-old teacher, in February before staging their home in Tipp City to appear as if someone had broken in through the garage.

Returning to Instagram on Sunday, the former Grey's Anatomy actor announced that Garland passed away on 9 June 2025 after suffering a "massive haemorrhagic stroke".
"Yes...the rumors are true," he began. "My dear wife of 29 years collapsed suddenly on May 31, 2025 and passed away on June 9, 2025. It came as a huge shock to me and our entire family. She succumbed to a massive hemorrhagic stroke and never recovered."
Washington went on to urge followers to make an appointment with their doctor if they are experiencing headaches.
"Listen, y'all...some headaches are not just headaches or migraines, they can be much worse and a warning sign. Get a brain scan if you can and take those headaches seriously. She has been gone 16 months now, but she left 3 incredibly amazing children behind to continue her legacy," the 63-year-old continued.
Washington and Garland married in 1996.

As outrage builds around the case involving a Cornell University student allegedly gang-raped in a fraternity house in October 2024, the university’s president has broken his silence with a statement Saturday.
Jane Doe’s alleged experiences raise “heartbreaking and troubling issues about ******* ual ******* ault, dehumanization, and aspects of party culture, alcohol, and drug use,” Kotlikoff said in his video statement.
The Cornell president added the allegations raise questions around the initial investigation, saying the university does not have “all the answers” but is committed to investigating and finding them. He said next week, Cornell’s board of trustees will announce an independent review into the handling of the 2024 case by an outside law firm.

Elon Musk and his on-and-off girlfriend have broken up.
In a post shared on X on Friday, October 2, Shivon Zilis, who shares four children with the Tesla cofounder, 55, revealed that Musk had let her "go" with "no warning" just a week after seemingly being "in love."
"I feel happy that I got to show Elon how it feels to be deeply understood, nurtured, and peacefully loved with stability and gentleness. Given the tumultuous nature of his early life, his often tortured soul, and how hard he fights for humanity, I wanted him to feel the deepest and most stable form of love this world can provide. My heart is full knowing I got to do that, and I hope it leaves a lasting good effect," Zilis, 40, wrote.
Calling her and their four children together, twins Strider and Azure, 4, Arcadia, 2, and Seldon, 1, his "safe ******* e," Zilis said their home life served as a place for the tech giant to unwind after tough days in the field.
"We were always his safe ******* e. A place where all of us were overjoyed to see him and one that was always full of happiness and love, not war, in contrast to his otherwise militant existence (a needed break from the battlefield where he could recharge his heart and soul before heading back out)," the director of operations and special projects at Neuralink continued. "I loved being that counterbalancing place of safety, sense of calm, and love — and delighted in bringing a smile back to his face when he was down."

Even wilder, Beatles insider Chris O'Dell says she was actually sitting at Ringo's kitchen table when George finally told him, "I'm in love with your wife." According to O'Dell, Ringo responded, "Better you than someone we don't know." O'Dell said Ringo was nevertheless heartbroken by what happened. (Ringo got remarried in 1981 to Bond girl Barbara Bach, so he's doing alright!)
Somehow, George and Ringo's friendship survived and they worked together many more times (notably on the Beatles' reunion tracks "Free as a Bird," "Real Love," and "Now and Then.") When George died in 2001, Ringo called him "a best friend of mine," adding, "I loved him very much."

Repair demand is the quiet defensive layer inside a cyclical industry. Americans are keeping cars longer, and every mile driven eventually needs a filter, a mirror, a ***** per cover, or a brake caliper. That reality is why a small group of US-listed auto parts names have been able to send cash to shareholders through recessions, tariff scares, and new-vehicle slumps. The three names below all pay a verified dividend, span both aftermarket distribution and original-equipment supply, and range from a 2.13% yield backed by a debt-free balance sheet to a 5.05% yield trading below book value.
Genuine Parts (NYSE:GPC) is the NAPA owner and the closest thing this bundle has to an income staple. The stock yields 3.13% at a recent price of $131.45, with a quarterly payout of $1.0625 per share and an annualized run rate of $4.25.

FC Barcelona have begun the process of renewing defender Gerard Martín's contract, per multiple reports. The 24-year-old footballer has risen through the ranks and become an important part of manager Hansi Flick's set-up.
Barça are said to be looking to tie him up for longer, with a bigger release clause and a higher salary. There is reportedly no hurry on either side, as he has a contract until 2028. There is a sense of optimism surrounding the negotations, as the team is happy with his performances and the player wants to stay.
Barça reportedly see him continuing to be a key part of the squad and possibly even improving as time goes on. A Barcelona native, Martín was a product of UE Cornellà's academy before going to Barcelona's B team. Reports say he's happy to stay with his hometown club.
So far, there have been no concrete negotiations or even a set date for a meeting on the matter. All that has been reported are preliminary conversations.
A left-back by training, he has broken through as a center-back under Flick. With Ronald Araujo on loan to Liverpool FC, Barça are set to use Martín often this season alongside Pau Cubarsí. There was talk of a potential center-back signing, though none came. Andreas Christensen has split duties as the other center-back to start this season. Barça also has Eric Garcia, though he often plays as a full-back.

Detroit Lions first-round pick Blake Miller gained a reputation at Clemson for being an iron man. In three years in college, he didn't miss a single game, starting 54 consecutive contests.
When the Lions' injury report dropped on Monday, it appeared Miller's NFL streak could be broken after just one game. With only a walkthrough practice, Miller was estimated as a non-participant with a knee injury. And with Detroit on a short week—scheduled to play the Bills on the road this Thursday—it could be too quick of a turnaround to make the field.
However, the rookie right tackle spoke with the media after practice and sounded more optimistic about his chances of playing due to progress already made on Monday.
"I'm doing everything I humanly can to get my body feeling the best it can feel. Even with the progress just today that I've made, I'm happy, and I'm optimistic," Miller said.
Lions coach Dan Campbell said it was possible Miller could play vs. the Bills, but he was a little more cautious in his optimism.

It looks like the Denver Broncos were this close to seeing their 2025 season take an eye-popping turn. On Monday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees had considered coming out of retirement to join the Broncos in the postseason last year.
Per Schefter, Brees had conversations with the team's then-offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi and offensive ****** istant Pete Carmichael about the quarterback potentially playing in the AFC championship. The Broncos had lost starting QB Bo Nix to a broken ankle in the final plays of the divisional win over the Buffalo Bills, leaving an opening at QB1 that was being filled by backup Jarrett Stidham.
The 47-year-old Brees said that he wanted to work out first to see how his body was doing, but "discomfort" in Brees' wrist led him to turn down the offer, per Schefter.
Lombardi and Carmichael, along with Broncos head coach Sean Payton, all worked with Brees during his time with the New Orleans Saints. However, Payton only heard about the plot to entice Brees back to the NFL this offseason, with the plan leaving him "both fascinated and flabbergasted," per Schefter
However, Denver maybe could have used Brees in the ****** le game, as the team lost 10-7 to the New England Patiotrs; Stidham made crucial mistakes in the loss.

Army dentists say war games omit dental emergencies that could strain wartime casualty evacuation.
Broken equipment and limited supplies can hinder field dental training opportunities.
Forward dental teams can treat patients quickly and return them to duty.
A painful toothache or an oral infection might not sound like an injury that could sideline a soldier in combat, but US Army dental leaders warn that in a future conflict, such easily overlooked conditions could take troops out of the fight, consume scarce evacuation capacity, and further stress a strained medical system.
Most of the Army's major exercises don't include dental emergencies in their casualty scenarios, dentists said in a recent professional article, leaving commanders with an incomplete picture of the medical and triage or evacuation demands they could face in large-scale combat.

Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:STLA)'s long-idled Belvidere ******* embly Plant in Illinois has been a case study for how a plant reopening can be pushed further into the future. The plant has been dormant since February 2023, when Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:STLA) ended the Jeep Cherokee production and laid off over 1,300 employees. A 2027 production target for Belvidere has now shifted, with Stellantis targeting pilot production of the next-generation Cherokee in the first half of 2028 and retail production in the second half of 2029, even as Stellantis portrays the news as a larger investment rather than a delay.
Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:STLA) announced an increase in its Belvidere investment to more than $800 million, up from a previous commitment of $600 million or more, and confirmed that the plant will produce the next-generation Jeep Cherokee on its new STLA One platform, the first vehicle built in the US on that modular design, which the company claims will improve manufacturing efficiency and reduce costs.
However, according to UAW Local 1268 president Matt Frantzen, citing internal records and talks with company executives, the updated schedule pushes pilot production into the first half of 2028, while retail production is not targeted to begin until the second half of 2029, roughly two years later than Stellantis' previous 2027 initial-production target.
The Belvidere news is a grave situation developing north of the border. Unifor, the Canadian union that represents Detroit Three autoworkers, stated that Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:STLA) has signed an MOU with Canadian armored-vehicle maker Roshel outlining a potential sale of its Brampton, Ontario ******* embly plant, which has been idle since 2023. According to union president Lana Payne, Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:STLA) has yet to provide the official year's notice required by the collective agreement. Payne described it as a "lose-lose scenario," claiming Stellantis' 2023 commitment to keep Brampton staffed had been broken.
The two stories are directly related. Brampton had been scheduled to build the Jeep Compass, with retooling beginning in early 2024 before Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:STLA) paused it in 2025 and then, that October, moved Compass manufacturing to the US completely, the same reassignment that sent the model to Belvidere.
