Second Lady Usha Vance's scary moment exiting a helicopter with her newborn has sparked a heated debate online. Fans raised concerns about the incident and questioned why no one stepped in to help.
Second Lady Usha Vance nearly stumbled while exiting the Marine Two helicopter at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on Monday, Oct. 5, PEOPLE reported. She had 10-week-old son Alec Neel Vance strapped to her chest in a baby carrier. Vance also carried a large leather diaper bag as she descended the aircraft's staircase.
She grabbed the railing after missing a step and quickly regained her balance. She then turned back toward the helicopter's entrance to reassure those nearby. According to lip reader Nicola Hickling, Usha told nearby officers, "I'm okay, and he's fine… thank you" (via The Mirror).
Vice President JD Vance followed her down the stairs moments later. He carried their four-year-old daughter, Mirabel, and did not appear to notice the incident. The family traveled to Anchorage, Alaska, for a Republican National Committee rally supporting Senator Dan Sullivan's reelection campaign.
The video quickly went viral on X (formerly Twitter), sparking safety concerns and criticism. One user questioned why no one intervened, writing, "Did ******* ody notice that Usha Vance is carrying a 9-week-old baby and a huge leather diaper bag, and she nearly FALLS down the stairs of Marine 2? The Air Force officers didn't move to help her, and her husband barely even acknowledges her."

On September 14, Radiant Logistics (NYSEAMERICAN:RLGT) held its fourth fiscal quarter earnings call, and the headline numbers landed harder than a typical logistics update. Net income jumped 53.1% to $7.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, while revenue climbed 18.5% to $261.4 million. Look past that one quarter, though, and the picture gets more complicated, because full-year adjusted profitability actually fell. That gap between a blowout quarter and a softer year is what makes this name worth a closer look.
The fourth fiscal quarter was strong from top to bottom. Adjusted EBITDA rose 31.6% to $10.4 million, margin expanded 240 basis points to 15.5%, and adjusted net income climbed 34.5% to $7.4 million, all against organic revenue growth of 8%. Management credited the acceleration to US forwarding operations and international airfreight, including work supporting disaster relief after typhoon activity hit the Western Pacific earlier this year, plus airfreight demand tied to capital flows into global data center buildouts.
The balance sheet backs up the story. Radiant enters fiscal 2027 with zero net debt, $25.6 million in cash as of June 30, and a $200 million senior credit facility that was extended and restated in August, pushing maturity out to August 7, 2031, while its acquisition-focused accordion grew to $100 million from $75 million. On the domestic side, capacity has been exiting the truckload and intermodal markets, and spot rates and tender rejections moved higher late in the quarter. Radiant also launched a new independent agent program at Radiant Road & Rail during the quarter, extending its freight forwarding agent network into truck brokerage and intermodal, while Navegate is gaining traction, with one enterprise customer now managing more than 1,400 vendors on the platform.
The full-year numbers tell a different story than the quarter does. Revenue rose just 3.5% to $934.4 million from $902.7 million, a fraction of the fourth quarter's 18.5% pace, and full-year net income grew a modest 8.7% to $18.8 million. Full-year adjusted EBITDA actually fell 5.4% to $36.7 million from $38.8 million, and that figure included a $1.3 million First Brands adjustment. Strip that out and normalized adjusted EBITDA comes in at $35.4 million, an even steeper decline than the headline number suggests.
The operating backdrop stays complicated too. Ocean shipping routes remain disrupted by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and continued Houthi activity affecting Suez Canal transits, keeping capacity tight on key trade lanes. US tariff policy is generating elevated IEEPA-related filing activity, and Canada put new retaliatory tariff measures into effect in early September, adding fresh complexity for shippers moving goods across that border. Management itself acknowledged that the domestic truck brokerage improvement seen late in the fourth quarter is not yet fully reflected in the reported results.

The NFL is back, and with that comes exciting upsets like the Arizona Cardinals winning over the Los Angeles Chargers, as well as the New York Giants pulling out a rare win at home to open the season against the Dallas Cowboys. The Raiders also made a statement against the Miami Dolphins. Still, injuries are a reality in football as usual, so Let's take a look at some of the notable names who have been injured during Week One and who could show up on the report Wednesday.
Baltimore Ravens WR Zay Flowers (Hamstring) & Ja'Kobi Lane (Wrist)
Zay Flowers left the game against the Indianapolis Colts with an injury on Sunday (Hamstring). Before exiting, he caught five passes for 150 yards and a touchdown. NFL Network NFL insider Ian Rapoport has since reported that the injury may not be considered serious, and Flowers will undergo an MRI for further evaluation.
Rookie wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane has reportedly suffered a broken wrist and could miss several weeks of the season.
Dallas Cowboys LB DeMarvion Overshown (Hamstring) & Safety Malik Hooker (Forearm)

After briefly exiting Sunday's win over the Cleveland Browns, Jacksonville Jaguars' head coach Liam Coen fully expects wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. to be available in Week 2 against Denver -- although he may be limited during the week of upcoming practices.
"I fully imagine him being able to play this game," Coen said on Monday. "No issues, just might not be able to get hit throughout the week or something."
Thomas Jr. left the Jaguars' Week 1 win in the first half with a shoulder injury. He was initially questionable to return, but did go back into the game.
Thomas Jr. finished the game with three receptions for 40 yards.
He also sustained a shoulder injury in the Jaguars' first joint practice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Whether or not that injury and the current one are related has not been reported.

It's always tough navigating that first injury report coming out of preseason and training camp. Some injuries are downplayed and others weren't as serious as initially thought. We also get some surprises (we're looking at you Raiders and Brock Bowers).
But we've gotten through most of the action for Week 1 and can lookahead to which injuries we'll need to track going into the second slate of the season. Below is all the latest news and updates, plus some fantasy football ******* ysis to help with weekly lineup tinkering.
Kyler Murray, MIN (concussion)
Sam Darnold, SEA (hip)
Murray: It was a tough Minnesota debut for Murray, exiting early in the contest after a questionable hit from Packers S Javon Bullard. Prior to the hit, Murray had thrown an egregious interception into triple coverage. Murray did not return, finishing the game 3-for-5 for 18 yards and the INT, plus two carries for nine yards.

Dow Inc. (NYSE:DOW) is reportedly considering selling its 35% stake in Sadara Chemical, its $20 billion chemicals joint venture with Saudi Aramco, as the company continues to reshape its portfolio amid a prolonged downturn in the global chemicals industry. No final decision has been made, and Aramco or another strategic or financial investor could potentially acquire Dow's stake.
The potential exit comes as Sadara has become a significant financial burden for Dow. As of June 30, Dow Inc. (NYSE:DOW) had a negative investment balance of $793 million in Sadara and had suspended recognition of its share of the venture's equity losses in the first quarter. Dow has also been exposed to Sadara's financing obligations and previously disclosed that the venture had drawn on a credit facility.
At the same time, Sadara remains a major industrial ****** et, operating a complex in Jubail with more than 3 million metric tons of annual chemicals and plastics capacity. Its operations were disrupted earlier this year by the Middle East conflict, adding transportation, supply-chain, and operating pressures to an industry already dealing with weak demand and global oversupply.
The strongest argument for Dow Inc. (NYSE:DOW) is that exiting Sadara could remove a persistent drag on cash flow and allow management to redirect capital toward businesses with better returns. Dow's exposure to Sadara is no longer simply an investment in a large Saudi chemicals complex; the company has accumulated a negative investment balance and financial obligations ****** ociated with the venture. A sale could therefore reduce Dow's exposure to future funding requirements and limit the amount of capital that could otherwise have to be committed to the partnership.
That would be particularly valuable because Dow is already trying to improve its cash generation. Management has said its objective is to reach free-cash-flow breakeven while pursuing significant cost reductions. In March, CEO Jim Fitterling said Dow's goal was to avoid putting additional cash into Sadara during 2026, while describing the venture as having low operating cash costs but more challenging fixed costs and financing obligations.

Iowa State football wide receiver Evan Boyd exited Saturday's game against Iowa with an injury late in the first quarter.
The Michigan State transfer hauled in a six-yard pass on third-and-long and immediatley took his helmet off and grabbed his leg. According to the Register's ISU columnist Travis Hines, Boyd put zero weight on the leg when exiting the field. He did not immediately head to the injury tent or the locker room. He was being attended to by athletic training staff and had ice on his left knee while sitting on the bench.
This story will be updated as we learn more.

Qualcomm (QCOM) grew revenue just 1.9% over the last twelve months, against a compound pace of about 6.2% a year over five years and 4.5% over three. The quarterly path is worse. Across the last four quarters, year-over-year growth slid from 10.0% to 5.0%, then to declines of 3.5% and 4.0%. That turn to shrinking quarterly sales is the risk to weigh.
Phones Still Bring In About Half The Sales
In fiscal Q3 2026, handset chip revenue was $5.1 billion, about half of the $9.9 billion total. The CEO says unprecedented memory prices, plus supply shortages driven by data center demand, are pulling revenue down across mobile and consumer electronics. Management puts the net effect at a 20% drop in its Android chip revenue in 2026 from 2025.
And Apple Revenue Is Exiting Faster Than Planned
Apple is the second drag. Citing its own supply constraints, Qualcomm said on its fiscal Q3 2026 call that it expects materially lower share in new iPhone launches than its prior 20% estimate. An ****** yst put fiscal 2026 Apple product revenue at about $7.5 billion, and management called that a fair range.

CHAPEL HILL — Billy Edwards Jr. figured his day was done, but UNC football's starting quarterback couldn't sit still during a weather delay in an eventual 35-3 win vs. ETSU.
The Tar Heels (2-0) and Buccaneers (1-1) had to wait for an hour and 19 minutes before the start of the fourth quarter because of multiple lightning strikes near Kenan Stadium.
"It was tough," said Edwards, who completed 15-of-20 passes for 244 yards and two touchdowns before exiting the game with UNC up 35-0 late in the third quarter.
"I came into the weight room, and we were all sitting in there talking. Had the iPad up and I sat there for like 8 minutes, then I stood up and was like, 'Oh my gosh.' I immediately felt the effect of having some sort of delay where I was just sitting on my ****** for 10 minutes."

Updating a previous report, San Francisco 49ers WR De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle) will not return to the Week 1 game against the Los Angeles Rams after exiting with an ankle injury.
SOURCE: San Francisco 49ers
Why it Matters: With Stribling officially ruled out for the remainder of the opener, fantasy owners now have to wonder if he will miss extended time. Expect Demarcus Robinson and Deebo Samuel to be among the main beneficiaries if Stribling has a prolonged absence.

CVS Health (NYSE: CVS) dealt with significant headwinds after the COVID-19 pandemic. The company's financial results suffered as sales of coronavirus-related products (such as diagnostic tests) declined, while expenses in its insurance business rose substantially, resulting in lower profits and margins. However, CVS Health has done a good job of addressing those problems, and the stock has rebounded. Shares are up 31% over the past 12 months. Wall Street thinks there may be even more upside on the horizon. CVS Health's average price target is $116.04 (according to Yahoo! Finance), implying a meaningful 20% upside from current levels. Is now a great time to buy the stock?
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Over the past 18 months (or so), CVS Health has implemented several initiatives that have helped improve its business. For instance, the company closed dozens of stores, many of which were unprofitable. The pharmacy chain specialist also scaled back its insurance division, notably by exiting the Affordable Care Act marketplace. The results have been pretty impressive. Consider the company's second-quarter results. CVS Health's revenue increased by a healthy 7.3% year over year to $106.1 billion.
Adjusted earnings per share were $2.58, 42.5% higher than the year-ago period. Note the improvement in CVS Health's healthcare benefits segment, which offers health insurance services. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue declined slightly to 12.4%, down from 12.5% in the prior-year quarter, even as revenue grew 3.5% year over year. And operating margins within this unit came in at 5.8%, up from the 2.8% reported in the year-ago period. Also, CVS Health's medical benefits ratio -- the percentage of insurance premiums the company spent on medical care (the lower the better) -- declined to 87.4% in the second quarter, down from 89.9% in Q2 2025.
CVS Health also increased its guidance for the full fiscal year 2026. The company now expects its adjusted EPS to fall between $7.90 and $8.10, up from its previous range of between $7.30 to $7.50. The company is also now projecting cash flow from operations of at least $11.5 billion, up from the previous lower bound of $9.5 billion. These are signs of a much-improved business.

Reuters reported that McKesson Corporation (NYSE:MCK) said it would buy privately held Precision Medicine Group in a deal valued at about $2.25 billion as part of a "years-long effort to strengthen its higher-growth businesses."
McKesson has been reshaping its portfolio by exiting non-core **** ets and streamlining its operations while investing in businesses such as oncology and specialty care. Precision Medicine Group, based in Bethesda, Maryland, provides clinical research, laboratory testing, and commercialization services that help biopharma companies develop and launch new medicines. It will become part of McKesson's Oncology & Multispecialty segment once the deal closes, though McKesson gave no completion timeline. CEO Brian Tyler said the acquisition would "enhance our clinical research and commercialization services, strengthen clinical trial execution, and broaden our clinical service offerings."
The deal fits neatly into a growth strategy McKesson Corporation (NYSE:MCK) has already been executing, not a scattershot bet. The company has spent recent years exiting non-core **** ets while specifically building out oncology and specialty care. It means this acquisition extends a strategy management has already proven willing to follow through on.
McKesson is adding Precision Medicine to its strongest-performing division rather than using the acquisition to revive a struggling business. Revenue in the Oncology & Multispecialty segment jumped 33% to $14.2 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, while JP Morgan **** yst Lisa Gill said the acquisition will likely strengthen McKesson's biopharma offerings.
The purchase reflects disciplined capital recycling, not new debt-fueled expansion. McKesson said in April it would sell a minority stake in its medical-surgical solutions business to Apollo Funds for $1.25 billion while pursuing an IPO for that unit, showing the company is actively shedding slower-growth **** ets to help fund investments like this one.

Penn State faced Marshall as a 23.5-point favorite in week one, crushing expectations with a 45-0 victory. They have now opened as Temple with the same line – as a 23.5-point favorite in week two over the Owls.
The Nittany Lions kicked off the Matt Campbell era with a satisfying shutout victory, with strong performances in all three phases of the game. Rocco Becht had a career-high four passing touchdowns before exiting the game early in the third quarter. Koby Howard had the breakout performance that Nittany Lion fans have been waiting for, catching six passes for 161 yards and a touchdown. The Penn State defense swarmed Marshall all game long, with Caleb Bacon among the top performers with four TFLs in a game where he seemed to nearly always find himself in the Herd backfield.
Temple also began the season on a winning note on Saturday, taking down Rhode Island 38-14. Former Penn State quarterback Jaxon Smolik was four-of-six passing for 57 yards and a touchdown for the Owls, while running back Keveun Mason had 192 yards from scrimmage and two scores.
Penn State will visit Temple for its first road game of the season on Saturday. Kickoff is set for noon with the game airing on ESPN2.

Amal Clooney infused her sartorial agenda with a dose of flapper-girl charm as she stepped out for an evening in Venice, Italy.
The international human rights lawyer was photographed exiting her private boat with her husband, George Clooney, on September 3. The 48-year-old looked incredible in an archival Prada mini dress adorned with turquoise fringed sequins and silver gems. The garment featured a strapless design with a bandeau neckline and a figure-hugging silhouette. The look was styled with silver pumps and a pair of matching diamond-encrusted drop earrings.
Amal's luscious brunette locks were left down in soft waves while her makeup oozed glam, courtesy of a bronze eye and a nude lip. Meanwhile, George looked suave in a navy suit layered over a simple black T-shirt.

The evening came after Amal graced the red carpet alongside her husband at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival. For the event, she slipped into a chic Tom Ford number by Haider Ackermann. The custom-made black gown was crafted in black silk taffeta and featured sculptural panels with delicate pleating. The square neckline was adorned in patent leather while the dress fell into a figure-hugging silhouette that looked so sleek.

Qualcomm (QCOM) is down 32% over the past three months, and the cause is not a mystery. The smartphone market has contracted as memory prices climbed, and Apple is exiting faster than the company had guided. Management has a credible plan to replace that revenue. The harder question is what the replacement earns.
Qualcomm Is Losing Apple Faster Than It Planned To
By the company's own account, its share in the coming iPhone launch will be materially lower than the 20% it had previously estimated, and Apple product revenue is set to fall roughly 50% from the September quarter to the December quarter. Qualcomm's own supply constraints are part of the reason. A customer exit that was always coming has been pulled forward.
The bigger exposure is the phone business Apple sits inside. QCT handset revenue was $5.1 billion in fiscal Q3 2026, against $9.9 billion of revenue for the company as a whole, so handsets still account for roughly half of what Qualcomm sells. Management sizes the earnings hit from the weaker handset market at more than $1.50 a share for fiscal 2026, with QCT Android revenue down 20% year over year.
But Qualcomm Expects To Earn Less On Its Data Center Wins

The Gophers did what they were supposed to do against an overmatched FCS opponent on Thursday night, thrashing Eastern Illinois 59-7 at Huntington Bank Stadium to kick off a new season.
Quarterback Drake Lindsey also did what he was supposed to do, completing 19 of 24 passes for 264 yards and a touchdown before exiting the game in the third quarter with a very comfortable lead. With the caveat that it's hard to learn much against an FCS foe, Lindsey's 2026 debut lived up to the NFL buzz he's been getting all offseason.
The Gophers' pro-style offense under Greg Harbaugh Jr. presents a lot of opportunities for Lindsey to make plays that are easy to see translating against much tougher defenses, both in college football and at the next level. What stands out about Lindsey, beyond his obvious size and arm strength, is how smooth he looks when operating from under center and in play action. The ball gets out of his hands in rhythm and zips to his intended target. Most of his completions came at the top of a short drop; Lindsey's average time to throw was just under 2.5 seconds, per PFF.
Perhaps the best example came late in the first quarter, with the Gophers already up 14. Lindsey took the snap, gave a slight play-action fake to draw in the linebackers, and then fired the ball to new wide receiver Noah Jennings in a big void of ****** e over the middle of the field. It was an easy 28-yard gain.
Eastern Illinois caveat, but Drake Lindsey has had a good start to the season. Several strong under center plays. https://t.co/anP2ZiunD8

Dell Technologies (NYSE:DELL), a PCs, servers, storage, and enterprise AI infrastructure provider, closed at $492.00, up 15.76%. The company's stronger-than-expected quarter and raised outlook, backed by record AI server orders, drove the move, and investors are now watching AI server demand and margin trends. Trading volume reached 35.0M shares, coming in about 353% above its three-month average of 7.7M shares. Dell Technologies IPO'd in 2016 and has grown 3,976% since going public.
S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC) rose 0.47% to 7,667, while the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC) gained 0.45% to 26,218. In computer hardware and IT infrastructure, sector rivals HP (NYSE:HPQ) closed at $32.00, up 2.16%, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE:HPE) finished at $51.85, up 1.94%, as investors tracked Dell Technologies' AI order momentum and the broader PC margin backdrop.
Dell Technologies' Q2 earnings were a perfect encapsulation of how far the company has come since its "dude, you're getting a Dell" days. Revenue and adjusted EPS spiked 58% and 203% during the quarter, rocketing past Wall Street's expectations. The core driver of Dell's success in Q2 came from its AI-Optimized Server revenue of $16.4 billion, which doubled from last year.
As promising as this revenue growth alone is in its AI unit, its record $60.9 billion of orders and exiting backlog of $95 billion highlight that the best is yet to come and that Q2's excellent results may just be the tip of the iceberg. Powered by the visibility of this backlog, management raised its full-year guidance to 69% sales growth and a 148% rise in adjusted EPS, to $25.50. This leaves DELL stock trading at 19 times forward earnings, which isn't particularly outrageous given the company's AI potential and its steady servers, networking, and PC businesses.

Liberty Capital Corporation (NASDAQ:GLIBK): "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!": In our Q4 2024 letter, we described our unfavorable investment history with Liberty Latin America (LILAK) and explained our reasons for substantially exiting the position and reinvesting the proceeds in TIGO. In the letter, we blamed ourselves for giving LILAK's management team too much slack even though operating performance continued to contradict their rosy projections. Selling shares in a longer-term holding that has not worked is no fun, but it is part of the investment process.
In our Q3 2025 letter, we detailed our investment in GCI Liberty (later renamed Liberty Capital) and described how we felt that the company traded substantially below the value of the Alaska Cable business, which implied that investors were seemingly ascribing negative value to the prospects of deals from John Malone and company. We noted how investors would have flocked to this type of investment 10 years ago, but the underperformance of US cable and several other Liberty names had caused a severe inversion to anything cable related..."

Céline Dion is returning to the stage this month in Nanterre, France, where she will kick off a five-week residency that will mark her first set of live shows in six years. And to coincide with her major comeback, the pop superstar has been on quite a streak of luxury looks.
Harper's Bazaar's September 2026 cover star touched down in Paris late last week, where she arrived to her hotel in head-to-to Alaïa: a fit consisting of a double-breasted, belted trench paired with suede cutout boots and mask-style sunglasses. Now, only days later, the "My Heart Will Go On" singer has turned heads again, this time in an outfit that was fresh off the runway.

Liberty Capital Corporation (NASDAQ:GLIBK): "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!": In our Q4 2024 letter, we described our unfavorable investment history with Liberty Latin America (LILAK) and explained our reasons for substantially exiting the position and reinvesting the proceeds in TIGO. In the letter, we blamed ourselves for giving LILAK's management team too much slack even though operating performance continued to contradict their rosy projections. Selling shares in a longer-term holding that has not worked is no fun, but it is part of the investment process.
In our Q3 2025 letter, we detailed our investment in GCI Liberty (later renamed Liberty Capital) and described how we felt that the company traded substantially below the value of the Alaska Cable business, which implied that investors were seemingly ascribing negative value to the prospects of deals from John Malone and company. We noted how investors would have flocked to this type of investment 10 years ago, but the underperformance of US cable and several other Liberty names had caused a severe inversion to anything cable related..."

CHICAGO -- Cincinnati Reds All-Star shortstop Elly De La Cruz is facing a possible second stint on the injured list this year after exiting in the seventh inning Sunday (Aug. 30) because of "left quad tightness."
The extent of the injury was not immediately clear. The Reds led 7-3 when De La Cruz left the game, with second baseman Matt McLain shifting to short.
De La Cruz spent close to four weeks on the injured list in June because of a right hamstring strain. It was the first IL move of his career.
De La Cruz, who didn't miss a game in 2025, played through left quad tightness much of the second half that season.

I optimize my portfolio and investment decisions to increase the probability of making money. It's not a guarantee, but having a game plan for each market type is better than being unprepared. Here's how I navigate bull and bear markets.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
I like Warren Buffett's mentality of buying and holding companies for multiple years rather than buying shares and then strategically exiting after an earnings report. Those moves sound flashy when they work, but they can also backfire. Even if you win those types of trades, you incur short-term capital gains, which are taxed less favorably than long-term capital gains.
Knowing what a company does, which catalysts will influence its stock price, and what it did in its recent earnings is vital before making any investment. You need this information to outperform the S&P 500 in both bearish and bullish markets.

Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun's relationship seems serious, as the actor was photographed with Braun's kids. The couple was seen at the airport with Braun's three children.
Sydney Sweeney was seen with her boyfriend Scooter Braun's kids. The couple was photographed with Braun's kids exiting a private jet. According to TMZ, the couple was at Van Nuys Airport, north of Los Angeles, on Tuesday.
In the pictures, all five moved from a private jet towards a car waiting for them. However, Sydney Sweeney was not seen interacting with the children. She was holding a backpack that appeared to belong to Hart, one of Braun's kids, as Hart was wearing a matching sweater.
It's unclear when Sweeney met with Braun's children; however, they all appear casual with each other in the photographs.
Sweeney and Braun have been in a relationship for about a year. Initial reports suggested their relationship was casual, but recent photographs suggest otherwise. The couple has often been seen vacationing in Australia, Mallorca, and Florida.

The top of the Mets' lineup took another hit on Wednesday night.
Bo Bichette was removed from the team's game against the Brewers before the top of the fifth inning after sustaining a left foot contusion. The Mets third baseman fouled a pitch off the inside of his foot in the bottom of the third inning and initially remained in the game before exiting an inning later.
Bichette, who has not missed a game in 2026, was replaced in the lineup by Christopher Morel while Brett Baty moved from left field to third base.
Baty would be the logical replacement for Bichette at third base if he needs to miss time. Morel also played 74 games at the position for the Cubs in 2024.
Bichette has turned it on offensively in the second half, entering the night with a .780 OPS since the All-Star break including an .869 OPS in August. This season, Bichette is slashing .264/.312/.393 with 14 home runs, 66 RBI and 64 runs.
