Karl-Anthony Towns says the pandemic brought him closer to Jordyn Woods, deepening a friendship that eventually became a marriage.
The New York Knicks center told PEOPLE that having COVID-19 "broke me down to the core," while also helping shape the man he became.
He said Woods witnessed his illness firsthand and understands why he remains particularly protective of himself and his family when it comes to the virus.
The interview comes as Towns serves as a paid spokesperson for Sanofi in a campaign promoting NUVAXOVID, a protein-based COVID-19 vaccine. Sanofi announced the partnership on Oct. 2.
Towns' mother, Jacqueline Cruz-Towns, died on April 13, 2020, at 58 after spending about a month hospitalized with COVID-19. His father, Karl Towns Sr., also contracted the virus and recovered. Other relatives died as the pandemic continued.

Christa Pike, the death row inmate who last week survived Tennessee's attempt to execute her, remained hospitalized on a ventilator Monday, according to her attorney.
He said it was still unclear whether Pike would regain consciousness but urged the state to "take death off the table" by commuting her sentence, renewing an earlier request that the governor denied before her botched lethal injection.
"The least that could happen now is that we at least take death off the table and start looking for what the future could be for her," attorney Steve Ferrell, of the Federal Defender Services of Eastern Tennessee, told "CBS Mornings."
Ferrell added that he and the rest of Pike's legal team were "certainly willing to discuss that with the governor, with whoever could make that decision."

Keke Palmer isn't interested in the internet's "mom-shaming."
The actress, singer and television host is speaking up about the pressures parents face online, where everything from car seats to kids' diets can bring unwanted criticism, without accounting for the lack of resources or varying challenges some families may face.
As flu and cold season approaches, she spoke with USA TODAY about her partnership with Beyfortus (nirsevimab), a preventive non-vaccine antibody shot for respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, and how she takes preventative measures to protect the health of her 3-year-old son, Leo.
Respiratory syncytial virus is a common and easily spread virus that peaks during colder months. While most cases are mild, severity is unpredictable. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2% to 3% of infants under 6 months are hospitalized with RSV every year.
Palmer also opened up about motherhood, modeling healthy habits for her son and why she believes parents should have these open conversations without judging one another's choices.

Days after a FlyDubai co-pilot made a violent attempt to crash the passenger aircraft and was subdued by passengers and other crew members, questions about his motive continued to swirl.
The flight Wednesday from Dubai to Tel Aviv was approaching Israel when the co-pilot allegedly stabbed the flight captain and attempted to crash the aircraft, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said. The captain was able to fight off the co-pilot long enough to unlock the ***** pit door. Passengers then overpowered the co-pilot, and two off-duty pilots who were on the flight managed to gain control of the aircraft and make an emergency landing in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia.
There were 174 people on board the plane. No passengers were seriously injured in the incident. The pilot sustained stab wounds in the attack. Saudi authorities said two crew members were hospitalized with unspecified injuries, and the co-pilot remained in custody on Thursday.
The co-pilot of the flight has not yet been publicly identified, although multiple sources familiar with the investigation told CBS News on Friday that his name is Hamam al Hamami.

The mother of the woman killed by Christa Pike said she was left without justice after Tennessee's failed attempt to carry out the execution, criticizing the state's handling of a procedure that left the death row prisoner hospitalized in critical condition.
"I didn't get justice for my daughter," May Martinez, whose daughter Colleen Slemmer was killed in 1995, told the ******* ociated Press on Thursday.
Martinez traveled to Nashville to witness the execution Wednesday. Instead, she watched as officials administered two doses of the state's execution drug pentobarbital without killing Pike.
"I watched the whole thing. She was awake," she said. "She was moving her head, moving her feet. She was trying to sit up. Didn't work the first time they gave her a shot. It didn't work the second time, so she's in the hospital and alive."
The inmate is receiving life-saving medical care, according to her legal team, who have asked Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee to commute her sentence.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky returned to the Senate to vote on Monday for the first time in three months, looking noticeably more frail after he was hospitalized for a June fall in his home.
McConnell's lengthy absence from the Senate generated a flood of criticism and online speculation, as he initially remained quiet for weeks about his condition. The 84-year-old senator eventually disclosed a month later that he had been "briefly unconscious" due to the fall and had also been treated for mild pneumonia in the hospital.
He briefly addressed reporters Monday from a wheelchair outside the Senate chamber, smiling but speaking slowly and with some difficulty. McConnell joked that he wasn't sure how many reporters would be there after dodging so many questions during his almost two decades as leader.
He said he was back in the Senate to work on a pending farm bill and because he has an ongoing interest in NATO and "backing up our good friends who are totally in the fight against the Russians."
Reporters and photographers were told by Senate staff not to take video of his remarks in the second-floor hallway, even though video is often permitted in that area. Still images were allowed.

Perez Hilton has cut $350,000 from the asking price of the Las Vegas home he put up for sale before moving his family to Miami.
The 48-year-old media personality is now asking $3.9 million for the six-bedroom, 6.5-bathroom property, down from the $4.25 million price he set when it hit the market in June. Realtor.com reported the reduction on September 10 after the home remained unsold through the summer.
The price change comes while Hilton continues receiving medical and mental health care following a serious crisis at his Miami home in August. His family said in its most recent authorized health update that he remained hospitalized in an inpatient setting, while Page Six reported on September 11 that he was still hospitalized.
Hilton's decision to sell the Las Vegas property predates that hospitalization. He announced his move to Miami in June after about three and a half years in Nevada, saying he wanted to be closer to relatives and believed the change was right for his three children and his mother.
Hilton's home spans about 7,000 square feet in Prado, a gated community with fewer than 20 residences. The property sits on a corner lot roughly between the Las Vegas Strip and Summerlin.

Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton has reduced the asking price of his sprawling Las Vegas mansion by $350,000—nearly one month after he was hospitalized following a health incident at his new Miami home.
The 48-year-old media personality initially listed the six-bedroom, 6.5-bathroom property for $4.25 million in June, telling Realtor.com® at the time that the custom-built residence had "served" him well during his years in Nevada.
Now, Hilton has reduced the price to $3.9 million as he looks to sever his remaining real estate ties to Nevada and settle permanently in Miami with his three children and mother.
The price cut comes mere hours after his family issued a public plea on his website asking fans and onlookers to stop gathering around his Miami residence—following a distressing livestream that prompted several calls to police and requests for a welfare check.
Officers ultimately transported Hilton to a nearby hospital, while mental health professionals and the Crisis Response Unit offered support to his friends and family.

If jurors find Lindsay Clancy not criminally responsible for strangling her three children, her civil commitment to a mental institution could come up for review every year — making it difficult to predict how long she could remain hospitalized, according to a retired judge.
Clancy would not face "a 'life sentence in a public mental hospital,'" Carol Erskine, a retired Massachusetts judge and child welfare advocate, wrote in a post on X. "She could remain hospitalized for many years — even indefinitely — but only as long as the legal criteria for civil commitment continue to be met."
The first move is in the trial judge's hands, Erskine later told Fox News Digital.
Lindsay Clancy Didn't Show 'Break With Reality' As Jury Weighs Psychosis Defense: Susan Smith Prosecutor
"The initial aspect of what happens is an order by the judge," she said. "If the judge so orders it, a 40-day evaluation in a locked unit."

Dolly Parton's death at 80 came after a brief battle with cancer, her representatives confirmed to TMZ. The country legend died Tuesday at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center in Nashville, surrounded by people close to her. Her passing still shocked family and friends, who knew she had been ill but believed she would recover.
Dolly Parton had spent four days hospitalized in Nashville before her death following several health problems in recent months. TMZ reported that her condition had worried those around her, yet the final outcome arrived unexpectedly. Her representatives said she devoted her life to spreading "joy, laughter, hope and integrity," while highlighting her charitable work and support for medical research.
Tributes quickly followed. Jane Fonda, Parton's longtime friend and 9 to 5 co-star, remembered her warmly, while Reba McEntire mourned the loss of a friend whose place in music could never be duplicated. McEntire wrote there would "never ever be another" Parton.
President Donald Trump, Celine Dion, Sabrina Carpenter, Barack Obama, Anne Hathaway, and several other celebrities have also paid tribute, sharing heartfelt messages after her family announced her death on social media.
Parton, famously known as the Queen of Country, built far more than a country-music career. She moved from rural Tennessee into the national spotlight through songwriting, recording, and television before becoming a major film star and entrepreneur. Her catalog includes Jolene, 9 to 5, and I Will Always Love You, songs that continued to travel across generations.

Young Kids in Motion Academy announced Aug. 22 that it is canceling the remainder of its high school football season one week into the 2026 campaign.
The cancellation, announced on Instagram, came fewer than 24 hours after a double shooting near the site of YKIM's Aug. 21 football season opener against Joshua Christian at The Legends Center and Gymnasium on Jacksonville's Northside.
That incident, the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said, left a 19-year-old woman with a gunshot wound to the leg and a 20-year-old man with a wound to the shoulder. Both were hospitalized in stable condition. Police were seeking two men in connection to the shooting.
The school did not, however, specify that the cancellation resulted from the shooting, attributing the decision to "unforeseen circumstances beyond our control."

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.

Perez Hilton must obtain psychiatric clearance before being granted supervised visits with his three children, per court documents obtained by TMZ
His mother, Teresita Lavandeira, was granted temporary custody after filing to protect the children's safety
Hilton was hospitalized in August after he appeared to self-harm on a TikTok livestream
Perez Hilton has been granted supervised visitation with his three kids, while his mother was granted temporary custody.
The visits are required to be supervised by either an approved family member or a therapist, TMZ reported, citing court documents. The entertainment blogger is required to gain "psychiatric clearance" prior to the visitation as well, according to the outlet. These requirements will remain in place until Hilton's mother, Teresita, files otherwise.

A Reddit post asked users to name "a horrible thing that a famous person did that everyone forgot about" and has drawn a long list of controversial celebrity and political stories.
The r/AskReddit post had more than 2,100 upvotes as of publication. Some of the most popular responses were allegations or events that have been documented in news reports, court records, or autobiographies. At the same time, several commenters also repeated claims that could use more context.
One of the top comments brought up comedian George Lopez and said he cheated on his wife after she donated a kidney to him. Lopez's ex-wife, Ann Serrano, donated a kidney to him in 2005 after he was diagnosed with a genetic condition. Later in 2010, the couple announced that they were ending their 17-year marriage, and Serrano filed for divorce in 2012. The official cause, however, was irreconcilable differences.
ABC News reporting on the divorce did not support the claim that adultery was the cause of their split.
Another highly upvoted comment was in reference to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Reddit users claimed he filed divorce papers against his first wife while she was recovering from cancer surgery. FactCheck.org, on the other hand, reported that Gingrich and Jackie Battley were already separated and in divorce proceedings when she was hospitalized in 1980. Battley had undergone cancer surgery earlier and was recovering from surgery to remove another tumor. Gingrich has also said that the two argued during the hospital visit.

As Perez Hilton focuses on his recovery, his family is stepping in to provide stability for his three young children. The blogger's mother has reportedly been granted temporary custody, though Hilton has not been cut off from his kids and is allowed supervised visits. The arrangement comes amid a challenging period for the celebrity blogger as he works toward recovery and his family rallies around him.
Perez Hilton, born Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr., remains hospitalized following his suicide attempt on August 4. As The Blast previously reported, the celebrity blogger's family is stepping in to care for Hilton's three children, 13-year-old Mario, 11-year-old Mia, and 8-year-old Mayte. His mother, Teresita Lavandeira, filed for temporary custody of the kids, which his son consented to.
A judge has granted the request, and Teresita is now in charge of doing "all things necessary for the care" of her grandchildren. Per Us Magazine, the ruling highlighted that Hilton remains the children's legal parent, and the arrangement with Teresita is temporary.
"[Teresita] shall have authority to consent to all necessary and reasonable medical and dental care for the children, including nonemergency surgery and psychiatric care," the ruling noted. Furthermore, Hilton's mother will be responsible for decisions regarding the kids' schooling.

Perez Hilton remains hospitalized nearly two weeks after a serious mental health crisis at his Miami home, with his family making clear that there is still no timetable for his return home or to work.
In a new update, Hilton's family said the 48-year-old internet personality continues receiving inpatient treatment from a team of medical and mental health professionals.
The update follows an emotional interview from Hilton's sister, Barbara Lavandeira, who previously said both his physical and mental recovery would require considerable time. She also said her brother currently has no access to a cellphone, social media or the internet while his care continues.
One part of Hilton's life is beginning to move again without him. His family says the team behind PerezHilton.com will resume publishing entertainment news this week while the site's founder remains focused on his health and recovery.
The family's latest official update says Hilton remains hospitalized following the Aug. 4 crisis. "At this time, Perez remains hospitalized and is receiving the medical care he needs," the family said. "His treatment is continuing in an inpatient setting under the care of a dedicated team of medical and mental health professionals."

Perez Hilton's website resumed operations on Monday, as the blogger remains hospitalized following a livestreamed self-harm incident earlier this month.
"At this time, Perez remains hospitalized and is receiving the medical care he needs," his family shared in a Sunday statement on PerezHilton.com. "His treatment is continuing in an inpatient setting under the care of a dedicated team of medical and mental health professionals."
"Perez built PerezHilton.com more than 20 years ago, and it has remained one of the most important parts of his life ever since. Starting this week, his team will begin publishing again, focusing on the day's biggest stories," the statement continued. "For now, Perez's health remains the priority as his team keeps the site active and moving forward."
Hilton, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, was removed from his Miami-area home by law enforcement officers and taken to a local hospital on the evening of Tuesday, Aug. 4, after police received concerned calls about Hilton. Earlier that same evening, the blogger had hosted a TikTok livestream in which he appeared to repeatedly harm himself, winding up covered in blood in the process.
The TikTok livestream has since been removed from the site. On Aug. 5, the social media platform attributed the minutes it remained up to a "moderator error."
