A TikToker says many single ladies ask her how to find and keep a good husband, and she gets offended when the creator shares her thoughts.
In her TikTok post, she recounted an encounter where a single lady asked her this question.
The creator, matrixunni, follows a traditional approach to relationship counseling. According to her, ladies should work on themselves to become better companions in marriage. She also suggests finding guys who are stronger in the areas where a lady feels lacking, and focusing on men's emotional stability and commitment rather than material aspects.
Matrixunni, 27, says her marriage is the main reason women visit her channel for advice.
"As a 27-year-old woman that is married to literally the love of my life, like, when people are around us, they know that we are meant to be," Matrixunni said in the video. "When they see me, they see him. When they see him, they see me. We have literally morphed and become one for real, right?"

A fresh report claims that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's new neighbors continue to voice complaints. This news follows reports that the Sussexes' Montecito neighbors are pleased about their move to the U.K. The pair have now apparently moved to a private estate in England's Cotswolds for an extended period.
Meghan Markle is reportedly facing complaints from Cotswolds residents, with a royal commentator claiming neighbors have raised several issues about her and Prince Harry.
Daily Beast editor-at-large Tom Sykes reported that the ***** ss recently visited Soho Farmhouse for afternoon tea with a companion. For those unfamiliar, it is a private members-only retreat featuring cabins, dining options, and various activities, as well as gym and spa facilities. She also reportedly visited a farm shop with bodyguards by her side, per the Daily Express.
The matter resurfaced on Vanessa Feltz's "At Home With Vanessa" podcast. The British broadcaster told her guests that she learned there were "tempers" and requests for "certain treatment" from Markle during her visit to Soho Farmhouse.
Journalist Daisy McAndrew echoed similar reports. She said, "I happen to be in a WhatsApp group of the village that is next to Soho. So I have a house that we rent out there and I can tell you that that WhatsApp group has been absolutely alive and buzzing with complaints."

After a series of high-profile relationships that imploded, Jim Carrey is doing things differently with new wife Min Ah, a source tells In Touch.
"He's kept the relationship almost totally out of the spotlight and that's something he intends to continue doing because he regrets being so public in the past," shares the source. "He thinks all the noise did a lot of damage to his past relationships."
Following his first marriage to former Comedy Store ***** tail waitress Melissa Womer — with whom he shares daughter Jane Carrey, 39 — the actor was wed to his Dumb and Dumber costar Lauren Holly. Their union lasted just nine months before she filed for divorce. Carrey later dated his Me, Myself & Irene leading lady, Renée Zellweger, as well as Singled Out alum Jenny McCarthy.
"Privacy is very important to Jim now," the source says. "And Min is on the same page."
Initially spotted together in 2022, the now-newlyweds finally acknowledged their romance during the César Awards in Paris this February, with the comedian, 64, referring to Ah, 32, as his "sublime companion," per People.

Donna Air's temporary move to Los Angeles has brought an unexpected companion into the picture: Paul "PK" Kemsley.
The British actress and television personality, 47, was photographed leaving Chateau Marmont with Kemsley, 59, after the two reportedly dined together at the West Hollywood hotel. The Sun published Backgrid photographs showing them walking outside together before getting into the same car.
An onlooker told the outlet that Air and Kemsley appeared "really cosy" as they laughed and talked during the evening. Kemsley supplied the clearest description of the outing himself when a fan reportedly approached him and he responded, "I'm on a f***ing date, stop interrupting."
The sighting comes only weeks after TMZ filmed Kemsley vacationing in Greece with Tatiana Kharchylava, whom the outlet described at the time as his girlfriend.
The Sun's photographs show Air and Kemsley emerging from Chateau Marmont side by side after spending time together inside. They were later photographed entering the same waiting vehicle.

On September 3, 2026, lululemon athletica inc. (NASDAQ:LULU) reported second-quarter fiscal 2026 results for the period ended August 2, 2026. Net revenue fell 4% to $2.4 billion, missing the $2.46 billion ****** ysts expected, and comparable sales dropped 10% on a constant dollar basis. Management cut full-year revenue guidance to a decline of 5% to 7%, down from a prior forecast of flat to down 1%, and lowered full-year earnings per share guidance to $9.48 to $9.73 from its prior forecast of $10.95 to $11.15, compared with $13.26 earned in fiscal 2025. Shares fell about 18% in extended trading. Incoming CEO Heidi O'Neill was set to start the following week.

Citi's cut to $117 from $130 came with a Neutral rating and the observation that the stock's risk-reward is "slightly more favorable" after the selloff, even though the firm called fiscal 2027 visibility "very unclear." The operational bright spots are real.
lululemon athletica inc. (NASDAQ:LULU) increased its chase volume, the supply chain capability that lets it reorder fast-moving styles quickly, by about 20% this year, and away-from-body styles including the Groove Wide-Leg, Align Foldover Jogger, Breezily, and an updated Dance Studio Pant are trending well as shoppers shift from tight-fitting leggings. The brand's community pull held up too.
The SeaWheeze Half Marathon and Festival returned in August for the first time since 2019, drawing nearly 10,000 runners from 24 countries and roughly 14,000 festival attendees, while more than 85,000 people from 120 countries joined the companion Strava challenge, strong enough that Lululemon already committed to bringing the event back next summer. Rest of World revenue, spanning EMEA and APAC, grew 5% on a reported basis, and the company ended the quarter with $1.4 billion in cash and no outstanding borrowings.

Taylor Swift brought chic retro energy to Arrowhead Stadium to cheer on the Kansas City Chiefs. Sitting in her VIP luxury box, the music superstar commanded total attention with her preppy game-day style. She effortlessly elevated classic stadium fashion into a high-fashion moment.
For the exciting matchup against the Denver Broncos, Swift chose a sporty yet high-end knit ensemble. She wore the "Gingham Polo Dress" in Scarlet and Mist from Gigi Hadid's luxury knitwear brand, Guest in Residence. The $236 piece features a vibrant red and cream checkered pattern, a soft ribbed collar, and three small ***** ons at the neck. The short-sleeved cashmere dress fits snugly around her upper body before ending high on her legs in a flirty micro length.
Swift cheered enthusiastically throughout the game alongside friends and family. As highlighted in a popular Instagram post, the pop icon opted for effortless, preppy game-day styling. The bold scarlet checks perfectly matched the Kansas City Chiefs' iconic team colors. She leaned forward near the suite's glass partition, watching every play on the field while high-fiving her companions and celebrating every big play.
The pop star complemented the retro polo minidress with sleek accessories and her signature beauty choices. She wore her warm blonde hair down in soft, touchable waves with her iconic blunt bangs framing her face. Minimal eye makeup, glowing skin, and a classic bright red lipstick completed her game-day look. The vibrant lip color mirrored the bold red checks on her cashmere dress. She kept her jewelry simple, wearing delicate gold rings and small hoop earrings.

GREEN BAY, WI — Up the Lambeau Field tunnel No. 5 Notre Dame trudged, followed halfway through the season opener Sunday against seemingly overmatched Wisconsin by an unwelcome companion.
A partner that wasn't supposed to be part of the plan at any point this season, certainly not the first game. Not 30 minutes into a campaign that many believe will have Notre Dame chasing its first national championship since 1988.
That companion that rode shotgun back to the Irish locker room? Doubt.
At least for one half, Notre Dame left too much of it. The Irish did not follow the mantra of head coach Marcus Freeman. Remember? Leave No Doubt, the fifth-year head coach, preached in spring.

NEW YORK, Sept 5 (Reuters) - From podiums to practice courts and player lounges, dogs have become some of tennis's most popular support acts, increasingly earning places in the travelling party and popping up at the sport's biggest stages.
For players who spend most of the year in airports, hotels and tournament venues often thousands of miles from home, pets have become common travelling companions, offering comfort and stability in a sport where loneliness is a major challenge.
"Animals are amazing... that's why a lot of the girls are travelling with more pets now, because of how tough the life is on the road," world number three Jessica Pegula told reporters at the U.S. Open this week.
"To have something that grounds you, as simple as having a dog or any type of animal... you don't experience that type of love from anybody else. They love you unconditionally and that can just really help emotionally."

Revolution Medicines, Inc. (NASDAQ:RVMD) received FDA approval for Rasonque, or daraxonrasib, following an expedited review. The once-daily oral RAS inhibitor is approved for adults with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma who have received at least one prior systemic therapy or are not candidates for multiagent systemic therapy.
Revolution Medicines, Inc. (NASDAQ:RVMD) set a wholesale acquisition cost (WAC) of $39,800 for a 30-day supply. Twelve 30-day supplies would total $477,600 at WAC before discounts, rebates, or ******* istance. Rasonque is available in the United States, with (ON)Path offering insurance navigation and financial-assistance resources, including copay support for eligible commercially insured patients.
The approval was based on RASolute 302, a randomized Phase 3 trial involving 500 patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. In the overall population, median overall survival reached 13.2 months with Rasonque versus 6.7 months with chemotherapy. The hazard ratio of 0.40 represented a 60% lower hazard of death during trial follow-up. Median progression-free survival was 7.2 months versus 3.6 months, while objective response rates were 30% and 11%, respectively.
The survival benefit gives Rasonque a strong clinical argument for reimbursement. Pancreatic cancer is aggressive, treatment options after progression are limited, and Rasonque improved overall survival, progression-free survival, and response rates in a randomized comparison. Oral dosing may also reduce the burden of intravenous chemotherapy.
The approved population is broader than a single mutation-defined subgroup. Rasonque can be prescribed with or without an identified RAS tumor mutation and does not require a companion diagnostic. That reduces testing friction within the approved treatment setting.

US-based money-transfer platform Felix Pago has raised $200m in a funding round to support its expansion beyond remittances.
According to a Bloomberg report, the company intends to move into financial services such as lending and savings for Latin American immigrants living in the US.

Shirley MacLaine was pictured enjoying life at 92 as she stepped out for a relaxed lunch at Kirsty's in Malibu on Friday.
The legendary actress, whose extraordinary career has spanned more than seven decades, was photographed at one of her favorite local restaurants, looking comfortable in a simple black T-shirt, grey sweatpants and black slip-on shoes.
Shirley was accompanied by a female companion, whose arm she held as she carefully made her way down a step from the restaurant's outdoor terrace.
The Terms of Endearment star appeared relaxed during the low-key outing, which comes just four months after she celebrated her 92nd birthday on April 24.

The new study, trumpeted by the New York Times with a companion article suggesting that OSHA should get involved, regarding CTE rates in pro football likely won't alter in any major way the realities of or participation in the sport, at all levels. Unless and until CTE can be diagnosed in living patients, football players will continue to embrace the vague (but real) risk of developing cognitive problems later in life.
But the data could provide ammunition for one specific aspect of the game. It could fuel an effort to move the touchback point on kickoffs from the 35 back to the 30.
Last year, when the touchback changed to the 35 and teams became incentivized to put more kickoffs in play, concussions spiked. Specifically for the player returning the kick and the player tackling him.
The league is well aware of this reality. And the question is whether the NFL becomes content to have fewer returns in the name of having fewer high-impact hits for two of the 22 players on the field during a kickoff play.
And while the current kickoff play dramatically reduces the possibility of the one potential outcome the league never says out loud (catastrophic neck injuries leading to potential paralysis or death), it presents a clear risk of increased concussions. As one source put it, it was "the elephant in the room" at the annual league meetings in March.

Zoetis Inc. (NYSE:ZTS) entered 2026 as a leader in animal health, but its latest earnings show that even a strong market position cannot fully insulate the company from weaker consumer demand. Fiscal Q2 2026 revenue remained flat at $2.5 billion and declined 1% on an organic operational basis, as pressure in the U.S. companion-animal market offset growth in livestock and international markets.
The quarter therefore presents investors with two different versions of Zoetis (NYSE:ZTS), as an established companion-animal business facing near-term pressure and a diversified animal-health platform still investing in its next generation of products.
Zoetis's (NYSE:ZTS) diversification provided an important source of resilience during the quarter. Livestock revenue increased 12% on a reported basis, supported by cattle and poultry products. In the United States, livestock sales grew 23% on both a reported and organic operational basis in the quarter, benefiting from favorable beef-cattle economics, supply timing, and increased poultry-vaccine sales **** ociated with disease outbreaks.
International performance was also encouraging. Revenue outside the United States rose 8% on a reported basis and 6% organically to $1.2 billion. International companion-animal sales grew 5% organically, supported by parasiticides such as Simparica Trio, Revolution and Stronghold, as well as diagnostics and newer osteoarthritis treatments. This geographic contrast demonstrates that the weakness was not uniform across Zoetis's (NYSE:ZTS) business. Demand for its products remains healthy in several markets, even as U.S. pet owners become more price-sensitive.
However, innovation could provide another route back to growth, as Zoetis (NYSE:ZTS) says that its pipeline contains more than 12 potential blockbuster candidates across chronic kidney disease, oncology, cardiology, anxiety, and obesity. The company also launched Lenivia and Portela, long-acting osteoarthritis treatments offering dogs and cats up to three months of pain relief from one injection.

Wendy Williams used a rare public appearance in New York City to deliver another unmistakable message about the court-ordered guardianship that has controlled major parts of her life since 2022.
The former daytime host was photographed walking through Manhattan on Aug. 19 with shopping bags and a male companion when a photographer asked what she wanted fans to know about what she was going through. "I want out!" Williams replied, according to Page Six.
The outing was Williams' first widely reported public sighting in approximately six months, following her appearance at her father Thomas Williams' funeral near Miami in February. Photos from the New York outing showed the 62-year-old walking outside before entering a building.
Her three-word response came amid an ongoing legal fight over an arrangement she has repeatedly said she wants terminated. Williams has disputed claims about her capacity while her medical history and competing evaluations have become central to the debate over whether the guardianship should continue.
Williams gave a much fuller explanation of her position during a March 2025 appearance on The View, joining the hosts by phone alongside advocate Ginalisa Monterroso. She rejected the characterization that she was incapacitated and said she wanted control over her affairs returned to her.

South African authorities announced that former ***** list Zolani Tete, 38, was fatally shot outside of his home in Mdantsane today.
Per the country's Ministry of Sport, Arts, and Culture, "[t]wo armed men in balaclavas" shot Tete and a female companion as Tete waited at his gate. The companion remains hospitalized, while Tete himself passed away.
Tete lost his first ***** le bid to countryman Moruti Mthalane in 2010, kicking off a 3-3 skid, but came out the other side on an absolute tear. He felled Teiru Kinoshita in hostile territory to claim the IBF super flyweight ***** le four years later, then knocked out Paul Butler in his first and only defense before moving up to 118. There, he won the later-upgraded interim WBO belt against Arthur Villanueva and made three successful defense, one of which earned him the fastest knockout in championship history when he sparked Siboniso Gonya with his very first punch. An upset loss to John Riel Casimero lost him the belt, but after two years on the sidelines and a 55-second get-well knockout in South Africa, he put himself right into super bantamweight contention by blowing the doors off of Jason Cunningham.
That would unfortunately mark his final time in the ring. A failed drug test for stanozolol wiped that win off his record and resulted in a four-year suspension, which only expired last month.
Tete will be remembered as a terrific, hugely accomplished fighter, highly entertaining and a true standout in the lower weight classes. Our thoughts are with his friends and family after this horrific tragedy.

An investigator revealed that Princess Diana would have been alive today if she had made a different choice. FOX's "Celebrity Crime Scene" used recreation technology to recreate the unfortunate Paris tunnel crash that ultimately claimed Diana's life on August 31, 1997. For those unversed, Diana was accompanied by her companion, Dodi Fayed, and their driver, Henri Paul, and she was only 36 years old at the time of her death.
Host and investigative crime journalist Jakson Buhaj, alongside British forensic psychologist Kerry Daynes and former U.S. Secret Service agent Rich Staropoli, revisited the tragic death on FOX's "Celebrity Crime Scene", special documentary.
Buhaj explained that had Diana done one thing differently, she might have possibly survived the fatal crash. He remarked: "It's very odd that no one was wearing a seat belt. You would think that [Dodi Fayed's bodyguard] Trevor Rees-Jones, who was sitting in the front seat directly ahead of Diana, would caution her that she should definitely put a seat belt on, considering the car is driving way over the speed limit. Yet no one thinks to do that."
Notably, three of the four people in the car, including Diana, passed away in the fatal car crash. Dodi Fayed's bodyguard, Rees-Jones, survived but suffered brutal injuries. There were rumors that Rees-Jones survived because he was wearing a seat belt. Investigators later revealed that wasn't the case. The official British inquiry concluded that none of the occupants in the car were wearing a seat belt when it crashed.
Buhaj continued to insist that wearing a seat belt would have saved the former Princess of Wales' life. "What I think is the most tragic thing about this is that, had everyone been wearing their seat belt, unfortunately, Henri Paul and Dodi Fayed probably would've passed away, but Diana most likely still would've been with us," he added.

Brown Advisory, an investment management company, released its "Brown Advisory Global Leaders Strategy" for the second quarter of 2026 investor letter. A copy of the letter can be downloaded here. Brown Advisory's Global Leaders Strategy delivered a net return of 4.6% in the second quarter of 2026, underperforming its benchmark, the MSCI ACWI Net Index, which returned 14.9%. The relative weakness was driven mainly by underexposure to semiconductors and technology hardware, while software, cloud services, and financial holdings also weighed on performance. The strategy benefited from holdings in areas tied to AI infrastructure, with semiconductor exposure and AI-related investments gaining from strong demand. Looking ahead, Brown Advisory sees an attractive environment for active stock-picking, with its ready-to-buy list at its highest level since the COVID-19 period and an estimated 12%-13% average five-year base-case IRR, while maintaining a focus on quality, valuation discipline, and long-term cash-flow generation. In addition, please check the Fund's top five holdings to know its best picks in 2026.
In its second-quarter 2026 investor letter, Brown Advisory Global Leaders Strategy Fund highlighted stocks like Zoetis Inc. (NYSE:ZTS). Zoetis Inc. (NYSE:ZTS) is a global animal health company developing medicines, vaccines, and diagnostic products for livestock and companion animals. The one-month return of Zoetis Inc. (NYSE:ZTS) was -3.62% while its shares traded between $71.47 and $160.48 over the last 52 weeks. On August 7, 2026, Zoetis Inc. (NYSE:ZTS) stock closed at approximately $77.27 per share, with a market capitalization of about $30.02 billion.
Brown Advisory Global Leaders Strategy Fund stated the following regarding Zoetis Inc. (NYSE:ZTS) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
We exited Zoetis Inc. (NYSE:ZTS) in May. We were attracted to the investment due to its position as the largest pure-play animal health company, benefiting from significant scale in R&D and as the highest-quality marketer to veterinarians and livestock producers, which increases switching costs. The company had further shifted its business mix meaningfully toward a higher and more profitable contribution from its companion animal segment. Our investment in Zoetis began to face increased growth headwinds in 2025 due to incremental competition in its industry-leading dermatology and Simparica Trio products. Additionally, the launch of Librela—the first available therapy for osteoarthritis pain in dogs—underperformed our expectations. Furthermore, we have observed increased competition across Zoetis's main franchises and, most recently, Zoetis also saw generic competition in therapeutic categories. Several concerns have emerged: (1) despite the high barriers to entry in animal health, competition in the sector has intensified during our ownership; (2) we do not have enough visibility on their pipeline to ***** s the path of future contribution at this point; and (3) we

Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT) just landed one of the largest single contract awards in its history. On July 29, the Department of War handed the defense giant a seven-year, up to $53.86 billion undefinitized contract action for PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement interceptors, pushing the total multiyear deal to $58.62 billion once the $4.7 billion awarded back in April is added in. That is not an error, which raises a clear question: what is driving this level of demand?
The answer starts with real-world consumption. Fewer than 800 Patriot missiles reportedly remain in US inventories, a stockpile a CSIS report pegs as having lost 65% of its prewar 2,330 count during the Iran conflict, leaving roughly four years of production at the old pace to cover what got burned through in under three months of fighting. Lockheed is responding by tripling PAC-3 MSE production capacity by the end of 2030 and growing its Camden, Arkansas workforce from 1,200 to about 1,850 employees. This is Lockheed's second major multiyear award under the Department's Acquisition Transformation Strategy, following the $35 billion THAAD contract, and the company is backing it with $8 billion to $9 billion in facility investment through 2030, including new munitions centers in Troy, Alabama and Camden.
A cheaper companion missile, the PAC-3 Adapted Capability Effector priced around $2.5 million versus MSE's roughly $4 million, is being positioned as complementary rather than a cannibal of MSE volume, meaning it adds revenue instead of splitting it. Layer in the $3.5 billion Ultra Maritime acquisition that expanded Lockheed into undersea defense, and a business already generating $75.1 billion in FY2025 revenue, up 5.7%, with $6.9 billion in free cash flow and a net margin near 6.7%, looks like it is compounding its core strength rather than searching for a new one.
The flip side of that strength is dependency. Roughly 72% of 2025 sales came from the US government, and the F-35 program alone accounts for about 27% of revenue, meaning any shift in Washington's spending priorities or a program delay would hit Lockheed harder than a diversified industrial company. The balance sheet carries real leverage too, with debt to equity near 3.2x and a current ratio of just 1.1x, leaving a thinner liquidity cushion than investors might expect from a company this size.
Lockheed is also fighting a $4.25 billion lawsuit over alleged technology misappropriation and regularly defends against cyberattacks aimed at its sensitive intellectual property. And when Lockheed first unveiled the cheaper PAC-3 ACE missile, investors sold the stock off on fears it would eat into MSE margins, a worry the company disputes but one that shows how sensitive the market is to anything touching this contract's economics.

Both keep demanding calendars, yet insiders say they carve out whatever time exists between commitments. Over recent months, according to those familiar with him, the Ryan Seacrest relationship accelerated sharply.

Grindr (GRND) just told investors that artificial intelligence (AI) now runs through everything it builds.
On August 6, CEO George Arison walked through second-quarter results with a claim that stood out even in a market full of AI announcements.
He said the dating platform now works as an AI-native company, from the code up.
The numbers behind that claim are big, and so is the plan tied to them.
Grindr is charging as much as $350 a month for a new AI companion feature. Arison says the technology is already paying for itself.

Argentine media reported Jorge Messi had passed away on Friday in a hospital in Rosario.
"His constant companionship and behind-the-scenes leadership were essential in backing every step of Lionel," Newell's Old Boys said in a social media post.
The 39-year-old Argentine star arrived in his home country on Saturday alongside his partner, Antonella Rocuzzo, and their children, with most dressed in black, an AFP journalist reported from the airport.
Messi's family asked the media for "humanity" during the recent World Cup amid persistent rumours over Jorge's health.
