When Calls the Heart stars Erin Krakow and Ben Rosenbaum recently welcomed their first child. They have been very private about their family's new addition, but Krakow just shared a sweet glimpse of her daughter with her social media followers. Hallmark fans are going wild over it.
On July 29, Krakow shared a pair of photos on her Instagram page. The caption read, "Plane selfie(s) not a plain selfie." Both photos showed just a hint of her daughter's head as the baby cozily nestled against her mom's chest in a carrier.
The first photo showed just Krakow and her baby. The second photo showed the whole family, meaning that Rosenbaum and their dog, Willoughby, were also included in the shot.
Young actor Hyland Goodrich, who plays Krakow's on-screen son, gushed, "MAMA!!! (That word sure takes on a whole new meaning now!) Can't wait to see you all!!!"
A fan wrote, "Awww it's a whole family selfie, love it!!! Safe travels!!!"

A Christmas sweater. A case of pink eye. A Hallmark movie set.
That's how Descendants: Wicked Wonderland star Malia Baker says her Hollywood career began. At 11, the Vancouver native snuck onto a set and walked away with her first acting credit.
Yahoo's kid correspondent, Gigi — yes, my daughter — is 11 now. She's the one interviewing Baker about her unlikely origin story and how she went from set crasher to a Disney princess who's currently starring in the fifth Descendants movie. Now airing on Disney Channel and streaming on Disney+, the film reveals a darker side of Baker's character, Chloe Charming, the daughter of Cinderella. Can you say evil Chloe?
Speaking to Gigi, the 19-year-old actor, also known for Netflix's The Baby-Sitters Club, answers the kinds of questions only a preteen may ask. For instance: What's the name of the Descendants text chat? Does she have any squishies? What are the names of her pets?
Before long, though, the conversation turns to growing up — pursuing dreams, finding your people and the advice Baker wishes she'd gotten before starting middle school. Take it away, Gigi …

Sasha Farber and Janel Parrish have split after a whirlwind romance, according to an insider for People. The Dancing with the Stars pro and former contestant "hard-launched" their romance on social media on April 27.
A source told People that, as some fans suspected, Farber and Parrish have broken up.
The two had posted one another on social media quite frequently throughout their romance. So, when all of a sudden all signs of him were wiped from her Instagram page a few days ago, Dancing with the Stars fans had a hunch something had happened.
Parrish, who recently starred in Hallmark's Two for Tee, began posting teasers about her suspected romance with Farber shortly before she officially announced her split from husband Chris Long.
On June 6, the couple attended the Race to Erase MS Gala and spoke to Us Weekly about their new romance. "He just has the biggest heart and is so caring and loving," Parrish said of her new beau.

Despite being an All-Star snub, Azzi Fudd will still head to Chicago this weekend to participate in the WNBA's 3-point contest. She'll be joined by the Portland Fire's Bridget Carleton, the Seattle Storm's Natisha Hiedeman, the Atlanta Dream's Rhyne Howard, the Toronto Tempo's Marina Mabrey and the Golden State Valkyries' Janelle Salaun.
As a rookie with the Dallas Wings, Fudd is only shooting 38.8 percent from deep, though she's tied for the 10th-most makes in the league with 50. She's also made at least three shots from behind the arc in four consecutive games, the second-longest streak by a rookie since 1998.
During her senior year at UConn, Fudd knocked down triples at a 44.7 percent clip and finished five threes away from the program's single-season record. Throughout her career, she owned a 42.2 3-point percentage, tied for sixth-best in team history.
The 2026 3-point contest will feature two rounds with five shooting locations around the arc. The first four racks will have five game ******* worth one point each along with one money ball worth two points. The final rack will only have money ******* . The two players with the highest scores in the opening round will advance to the final.
Fudd previously participated in a high school 3-point contest back in 2021, which she won despite wearing a walking boot. While she has proven herself to be more than just a shooter, that's still the hallmark of her game.

Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) enjoys one particular attribute that is a hallmark of many successful companies: It's still being led by one of its founders, Jensen Huang. There are countless examples of visionaries who have built business empires, and Huang ranks among the best.
Over the company's past few quarterly conference calls, Nvidia has repeatedly told investors it expects that the world's annual data center capital expenditures could grow to up to $4 trillion by 2030. That's a huge prediction, and if it's right, Nvidia could become a $20 trillion stock over the next few years.
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 »
That would be a gigantic increase from its $5 trillion market cap today, but the math to support that prediction is pretty simple.
Nvidia makes GPUs and the various products that support their use in data centers. Its GPUs have become the gold standard by which all high-performance parallel processors are measured. Furthermore, Nvidia captured the vast majority of the market in the early days of the AI arms race, which makes it incredibly difficult for data center operators to switch away from its products now. This advantage will only grow as more data centers are built.

Spain are within touching distance of glory. Luis de la Fuente's side beat France convincingly 2-0 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington and booked their place in the 2026 World Cup final after a display of character, footballing quality and competitive maturity.
La Roja once again got the better of one of the main favourites for the ******* le in a hugely demanding match. France tried to set the tempo early on, but Spain soon took control of possession and the midfield. Lamine Yamal's pace proved decisive in breaking the deadlock: the winger won a penalty after a challenge from Lucas Digne and Mikel Oyarzabal made no mistake from the spot to put Spain ahead before half-time.
With the advantage on the scoreboard, the Spanish team showedthe composure that has been the hallmark of their whole campaign**.** Rodri and Fabián Ruiz ran the show in the middle of the park, while an impeccably disciplined defence neutralised Mbappé and France's powerful attacking unit. France tried to react after the interval but ran into a consistently solid Spain side, leaving keeper Unai Simón virtually untested.
The decisive blow came in the second half, when Dani Olmo threaded a superb pass into the path of Pedro Porro, who surged forward from full-back with a striker's instinct to beat Mike Maignan and make it 2-0, leaving the reigning World Cup runners-up reeling.
The changes made by Didier Deschamps failed to alter the script. Spain managed their lead intelligently, moved the ball patiently and barely allowed chances to a subdued France, unable to find ******* e against the tactical discipline of De la Fuente's side.

CINCINNATI — Alex Bregman described the Chicago Cubs' first half of the season Saturday as a time of "some high highs and some low lows," which sounds about right.
It was highlighted by a pair of 10-game win streaks, an MVP-caliber performance by Pete Crow-Armstrong, the emergence of Ben Brown as a primetime starter and the continued defensive excellence that has been the team's hallmark under manager Craig Counsell. Ten walk-off wins, a 23-run outburst featuring eight home runs and a PCA cycle were all binge-worthy moments.
The low points included the devastating loss of Cade Horton, the nonstop march of pitching injuries, the 10-game losing streak, a prolonged offensive slump by Dansby Swanson and an early power outage by Bregman, the team's biggest offseason acquisition.
There was even a cameo appearance by a well-fed rat at Wrigley Field in April, which forced a team spokesman to **** ure fans the Cubs "take the health and safety of our guests seriously." Rat aside, the mental health of Cubs fans was almost always in question, thanks to a team that went from ridiculously good to unquestionably bad and then back to good again.
The Cubs finished things up Sunday with a victory over the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ballpark, ending the first half with a bang.

We're into the quarter final stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and with just six games to play (yes, we have already watched 98 games go by!), we're close to finding out who the next world champion is.
Norway have been a surprise package but only for those who haven't been paying attention for the last couple of years. Led by man-machine Erling Haaland, they are capable of shocking anyone in this tournament, but it's not just the striker. Backstopped by a solid goalkeeper and defence, with the creative ability to get down the wings, the Norwegians are a dangerous quantity.
England are showing themselves to be a balanced squad with the ability to score against anyone while locking things down when they have to. Jordan Pickford will be particularly please by his second half showing against Mexico, and the Everton #1 will have to be at his best to keep out Haaland today.
This has all the hallmarks of a memorable World Cup clash, spiced up by the fact that a number of Norway players plying their trade in England.

Donna Kelce broke her silence on her son Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's wedding on July 4.
The mom-of-two shared a telling comment in an interview with Macy's.
Kelce and Swift got married during a star-studded ceremony at Madison Square Garden on July 3.
Donna Kelce was still in proud mom mode a day after her son Travis Kelce got married to Taylor Swift during a star-studded Madison Square Garden wedding. As details begin to emerge about the top-secret wedding extravaganza—which reportedly included A-list entertainment, never-seen photos of the bride and groom from their childhoods, custom Christian Dior looks, and a lush garden theme—the Hallmark star shared telling comments as she broke her silence on the couple's big day on the Fourth of July.
Shortly after attending the New York City nuptials, the 74-year-old mother of the groom made an appearance at Macy's 50th Fourth of July Celebration in New York City on July 4. Donna—who shares Travis as well as son Jason with ex-husband Ed Kelce—had a short but sweet answer as she weighed in on her impressions of the Kansas City Chiefs star and Swift's wedding.

HAMDEN, Ohio (AP) — Just days after authorities removed 16 children from a squalid home and arrested four adult relatives, the question looms over their southern Ohio village: How could this have happened, for years, unnoticed, right here?
Neighbors of the family in tiny Hamden, employees at local stores where they shopped and even the investigators who responded to the scene have been left to wonder that aloud and to themselves, and the limited information shared by investigators doesn't offer a full answer.
The children weren't enrolled in school, the family moved around over the past two decades, and neighbors said they'd never spotted the kids. The children remained mostly confined to a small room in the house, investigators said, under deplorable conditions.
"Right under our noses and ******* ody was able to help them sooner," said Emily Collins, 27, owner of VC Farm & Floral in nearby McArthur. "It's just crazy that all the wonderful things going on in our little Hallmark town and this is what puts us on the radar. It's really sad," said the mother of three, who was compelled to decorate the sidewalk with bright flowers and stars drawn in chalk to cheer herself up.
Authorities said they had gone to the home Tuesday on an unrelated investigation and discovered the children — ages 1 1/2 to 18 years old — some of whom were unable to speak.

Indiana Fever's Aliyah Boston, Lexie Hull make meaningful impact during WNBA break originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
While the Indiana Fever are using the WNBA's midseason break to recover before returning to the court, two of the franchise's biggest stars made sure their time away from basketball also benefited the community. With the Fever sitting at 11-8 and firmly in the playoff race, forward Aliyah Boston and guard Lexie Hull joined ****** istant coach Briann January for a community service initiative in Indianapolis. Rather than simply taking advantage of the downtime, the trio partnered with Project Period Indy to help address an important need across Central Indiana, continuing a community-first approach that has become a hallmark of the organization.
Their latest effort comes as the Fever continue building momentum both on and off the floor during one of the WNBA's most closely followed seasons.
The Fever announced that Boston, Hull and January volunteered with Project Period Indy, an organization dedicated to fighting period poverty by providing free menstrual hygiene products to schools and community organizations throughout Central Indiana.
Working alongside the nonprofit and brand partner Sequel, the group helped pack 5,000 Period Packs that will be distributed throughout more than 30 schools and communities.

"When Calls the Heart" stars Erin Krakow and Ben Rosenbaum have opened up about what it was like to bring their first child home to their California dwelling—while lifting the lid on their "joyful" first few weeks of parenthood.
The Hallmark-famous couple, who quietly tied the knot in June 2025, announced in an interview with People magazine that they welcomed a baby girl together in April, revealing that they have spent the weeks since then settling into life as parents inside their Los Angeles abode.
Krakow, 41, and Rosenbaum, 39, who have tried to keep their romance very much out of the spotlight, explained to the publication that their daughter has quickly become the center of their world, with the pair embracing everything from early-morning cuddles to evening walks as they adjust to their growing family.
"Our precious new family member entered the world in early April. Our daughter has been the greatest gift, and we are loving getting to know her better with each passing day," they told the outlet in a statement.
While sleepless nights have become part of the routine, they said the transition has only strengthened their relationship and shifted their priorities in ways they never expected.

On June 1, ***** eX issued an amended registration statement for its upcoming IPO that contains a couple of noteworthy additions to the original filing submitted two weeks earlier. In one new provision, the rocket and AI giant announced that it will reserve 5% of the offering's shares for "certain employees and persons… which may include parties with whom we have business relationships and friends and families of our executive officers." The document adds that these grants "will not be subject to a lockup restriction." In other words, the folks who receive these allocations, unlike Elon Musk and top execs who can't sell for around a year, are free to unload their holdings any time after ***** eX's debut, slated for mid-June.
These recipients could pocket gigantic windfalls overnight. It's now widely reported that in the IPO, ***** eX will issue 555.6 million shares at $135 each to raise roughly $75 billion. So it's handing friends and family and chosen employees the right to buy $3.75 billion in shares (5% of $75 billion) at the insider price paid by investors, primarily anointed big institutions, that purchased in the underwriting phase. How much the executives, their relatives and ***** eX business partners gain right away depends on how much ***** eX's stock pops on day one. Of course, we don't know what will happen to ***** eX shares once the bell rings at the Nasdaq. A substantial rise over the pre-trading price would send the valuation into the stratospheric $2 trillion range or higher.
But IPO jumps typically average around 20%, and a strong pop is highly valued by both issuers and book-running bankers as the hallmark of the deal's success. If ***** eX scores a 20% ***** p, the group would reap an immediate gain of $750 million. At 30%, we're talking $1.125 billion. And once again, they're free to exit at any time.
An extra surprise buried in the amended S-1 could provide a pivotal clue for ***** eX's future plans. It's a single new sentence on page 51, in the "Acquisitions, Divestitures and Other Strategic Transactions" section. ***** eX states, for the first time, that it "may issue a significant amount of equity in connection with future transactions." A number of Wall Street observers noted that this declaration is too strong to be dismissed as boilerplate language, and suggested that it boosts the probability that ***** eX will purchase Musk's second largest holding, Tesla. This writer explored this strong possibility in a piece last week.
The "may issue a significant amount of equity" alert trained the spotlight on a big potential deal ***** eX had already discussed in the first S-1, but didn't then attract much notice: Its option to purchase venture-backed AI coding ***** istant Cursor for $60 billion in an all-stock transaction. The acquisition looks highly likely, since if ***** eX cancels, it's agreed to pay a total of $10 billion in breakup and service fees. The looming buy raises a red flag for ***** eX shareholders; a Curs

Gold tops $5,000 for 1st time, stoking fears of global debt crisis and dollar decline

A build-up of sticky proteins in the brain is a key hallmark of Alzheimer's, thought to be closely linked to the disease's progression. Now scientists have found a new way to clear these harmful clumps in the brains of mice and the eyes of fruit flies.

'Humbly, I'm sorry': Marjorie Taylor Greene apologizes for her role in 'toxic politics'

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said Sunday she will stop using “toxic” rhetoric, marking what would be a dramatic shift in a political brand hallmarked by derogatory comments.
The commitment comes amid a rift with Donald Trump that has spilled into public view, with the president attacking the Georgia Republican personally. Greene, meanwhile, has pivoted away from the Republican Party more broadly recently, criticizing the GOP on a number of fronts, including the party’s handling of the governme
