Legendary artist and musician YokoOno lives a reclusive life in her ninth decade. The 93-year-old ******* anese icon, best known for her marriage to and collaborations with her late husband John Lennon, has lived a life away from the public eye for several years.
Here's what we know about Yoko's life out of the spotlight now, from her home to her family…
For five decades, the musician lived in her famous apartment in New York in the exclusive Dakota building, outside where John was tragically shot and killed in 1980.
It was at this famous apartment that she hosted several of the world's elite and raised her son with John, although as it turns out, she's now found a new abode.
Per Daily Mail in 2023, Yoko moved out of her NYC digs for a massive 600-acre farm in upstate New York, a property she and the Beatles member purchased back in 1978.

Passengers have welcomed the return of publicly owned bus services to Merseyside for the first time since the 1980s.
The first services launched in St Helens on Sunday 6 September and will expand to the Wirral later this year. Full roll-out across the city region is expected by 2027.
Liverpool City Region secured £86.3m in government funding to help roll out the scheme. The Department for Transport said it would give local leaders greater control over routes, branding and fares, while helping improve services for passengers.
A new service to Liverpool John Lennon Airport has launched, as well as an early morning express journey to Southport.

Our **** ysts just identified a stock with the potential to be the next Nvidia. Tell us how you invest and we'll show you why it's our #1 pick. Tap here.
Christopher Waller stood up at a Reuters event Thursday and paraphrased John Lennon at a room full of bond traders. "Give disinflation a chance," the Fed governor said. "We can wait one meeting." Somewhere a rates desk put down its sandwich.
Stocks took it as a gift. At noon, the S&P 500 had climbed just over 1%, the Nasdaq 1.4%, and the Dow tacked on 640 points for a 1.2% gain and its best session since Aug. 4. The 10-year Treasury yield eased to about 4.75% after spiking Wednesday.
The Fed's benchmark, the overnight rate it charges banks to borrow from each other, currently sits in a range of 3.50% to 3.75%, and markets have spent weeks bracing for it to go higher on Sept. 16. Higher rates make a boring government bond paying you nearly 5% look awfully good next to stocks so we can forgive the equity jockeys who have been deprived of good news for a few moons from getting a little giddy when Waller signaled he'd hold if August inflation behaves and knocked hike odds from 63.2% to 50.4%, per CME FedWatch. Even if those traders are rejoicing on what's basically now a coin flip.
July's vote was 9 to 3 to hold, with Beth Hammack in Cleveland, Neel Kashkari in Minneapolis, and Lorie Logan in Dallas all wanting a quarter point more, the most dissents at a single meeting since 2016. Not one governor joined them. Warsh, for all his talk about inflation being a choice, has voted to sit still both times he's run the room.

WASHINGTON, Sept 3 (Reuters) - Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller said on Thursday he is leaning toward keeping interest rates steady at the U.S. central bank's policy meeting this month if the next batch of inflation data shows price pressures are continuing to moderate.
Pointing to the importance of "what we learn" about inflation data for August, Waller told a Reuters NEXT Newsmaker event in Washington that "if there is continued progress toward our 2% goal, then I am willing to support holding the policy rate at its current level."
"I'm going to paraphrase John Lennon here. Give disinflation a chance" and refrain from prematurely raising rates to allow a cooling process to play out, Waller said. In terms of that patience, "I'm not going to say let's wait until next year, but let's just wait and see if we get some improvement on this."
Waller, however, said the data could also move in a way that would lead him to argue that the Fed needs to take action to control price pressures at its September 15-16 policy meeting.

Over two years Celtic has thrown away two massive opportunities that has now cost the club an astonishing £80m in lost Champions League revenue.
Several former Celts were performing media duties last night, and they weren't shy in airing their thoughts. Former Celtic player and manager Neil Lennon who was doing ****** ysis for Prime who covered the game said:
"Huge credit to LASK. They had 33 attempts on goal and they battered Celtic. It'll be up there as one of the worst nights. To lose a four-goal lead is not great. They'll come in for some criticism after that."
Former goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel who was working alongside Lennon also gave his thoughts. The former Hoops number one said "This will have huge ramifications.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Brandt Bronico scored in the first minute and Pep Biel had a goal contribution in a sixth straight match to spark Charlotte FC to a 3-1 victory over the Columbus Crew on Saturday night.
Bronico took passes from defender David Schnegg and Liel Abada and scored 29 seconds into the match for his first goal this season and his eighth in 204 career appearances. Schnegg's ******* ists was his fifth and Abada collected his fourth — both career highs.
Abada scored his second goal of the campaign on a penalty kick in the 9th minute for a 2-0 lead. The kick was awarded after he was fouled by Crew midfielder Dylan Chambost.
Eighteen-year-old rookie Chase Adams used his head in the 41st minute to score his first career goal and Columbus trailed 2-1 at halftime. Adams made his first start and fourth appearance. Defender Brooks Lennon picked up his first ******* ist this season and rookie Lautaro Giaccone snagged his first in his first start and second appearance.
Biel scored in the 73rd minute for a 3-1 advantage. It was the 10th goal for the midfielder — matching his career high set last season. Nineteen-year-old rookie forward Rodolfo Aloko earned his first ******* ist in his ninth appearance and rookie defender Will Cleary added his second in his fifth.

Ohio State's tight end room looks completely different entering 2026, but that doesn't mean the position is any weaker. In fact, there is a strong argument that it is deeper than it has been in years.
Gone are Max Klare, Will Kacmarek, and Jelani Thurman. Together, they accounted for virtually every meaningful snap at tight end over the last two seasons. Replacing that experience was never going to come from one player.
Instead, Ryan Day attacked the position by **** embling a room where every player has a defined role, and together, they may give the Buckeyes more flexibility than they've had in a long time.
The hierarchy entering fall camp appears fairly straightforward. Nate Roberts projects as the clear TE1. Mason Williams looks like the favorite for TE2. Behind them, Hunter Welcing and Bennett Christian are battling for rotational snaps, while Maxence LeBlanc and Brody Lennon continue developing as future contributors.
The names may not yet carry the same national recognition as previous Ohio State tight end rooms, but the fit of each player within Arthur Smith and Ryan Day's offense makes this group one of the more fascinating position battles on the roster.

After playing six seasons in Atlanta and nine in MLS, Brooks Lennon put together a list of teams he thought were good fits to continue his career.
More: Columbus Crew sign MLS veteran Brooks Lennon to one-year deal
The Crew sat right at the top with their immaculate training facility, an energetic stadium, passionate fans and a playing style that caught Lennon's attention. His decision to sign June 9 became an easy one when the Crew extended a one-year deal plus two club options.
"When I knew my time with Atlanta was coming to an end, I put [together] a list of teams that I would like to see myself go to, and that I could see myself contributing to most," Lennon said Aug. 3. "Columbus was at the top of that list."
Lennon, 28, made his Crew debut Aug. 1 with a late appearance subbing for Jamal Thiaré at Nu Stadium in Miami to help secure a 2-2 draw against Lionel Messi and the reigning MLS champions.

This time last year the young and talented Motherwell youngster Lennon Miller was a reported Celtic target, only for the highly regarded midfielder to go and crush any hopes the Celtic supporters had of seeing him in the hoops when he signed for Serie A side Udinese in a £4.5 million plus deal.
Miller who just missed out on a place in the Scotland World Cup squad has impressed at the Italian side, making 26 appearances, and scoring one goal in all competitions in his debut campaign.
In my opinion, he's a player Celtic should still be interested in, as we look to bolster our midfield, an area which will be ever so weaker come the start of the new Scottish Premiership campaign, due to the impending departures of Arne Engels, and Reo Hatate.

Mika Baur is on the cusp of signing to plug the gap that will be created in the aforementioned players inevitable departures, but we still need a couple of more new faces to bulk up that area, even more so if our skipper Callum McGregor decides to move on.

Travis Kelce is officially Mr. Taylor Swift—and the proof is everywhere. From giant "Just Married" signs lighting up Madison Square Garden to the Empire State Building joining the celebration, all of New York City seemed to be in on the victory parade. The superstar couple confirmed their wedding through Swift's longtime publicist, Tree Paine, putting an end to months of speculation. Swift and Kelce suited up in custom Christian Dior Haute Couture, with creative director Jonathan Anderson designing their wedding-day looks.
They also skipped the traditional bridal party, instead naming Swift's brother, Austin Swift, as her man of honor, while Jason Kelce lined up as the groom's best man. As A-list guests poured into New York for the headline-making ceremony, the star-studded event quickly became the biggest offseason spectacle. From the guest list and unforgettable fashion to every standout moment from the big day, here's everything we know about the Swift-Kelce wedding extravaganza.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding turned New York City into the biggest offseason spectacle on Friday, with Madison Square Garden serving as the ultimate stage for the power couple's star-studded "I do." Fans lined the streets outside as celebrities from the NFL, Hollywood and beyond rolled in for the black-tie affair.
Representing the football world were Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford and wife Kelly, Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt, ****** ans coach Mike Vrabel, and broadcasters Charissa Thompson and Joe Buck. Hollywood stars Mariska Hargitay and Peter Hermann, along with author Glennon Doyle and soccer legend Abby Wambach, were also in attendance, while Taylor's longtime friends Este, Danielle and Alana Haim completed the A-list lineup.
The ceremony stayed under wraps, with no official photos released and many of the roughly 1,000 guests slipping in unnoticed. But one detail stole the spotlight: Adam Sandler officiated the wedding. The move carried a fun Hollywood callback to his 2002 film Mr. Deeds, where his character rents out the MSG for a proposal. In New York, anyone can apply for a one-day officiant license, making the casting choice all the more fitting. The Empire State Building even joined the celebration, lighting up in soft blue to serve as Swift's "something blue"—a championship-worthy tribute to the newlyweds.

NEW YORK, July 3 (Reuters) - Celebrity guests in tuxedos and gowns began arriving at New York's Madison Square Garden on Friday for what was widely expected to be a glitzy wedding celebration for pop megastar Taylor Swift and football player Travis Kelce, the couple that has enchanted fans with a three-year love story.
Retired soccer star Abby Wambach and her wife, author Glennon Doyle, were among the first guests seen entering the sports arena on foot under extreme temperatures that hit 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius). Kelce's teammate, Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones, and Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp, were also spotted walking in, as was "Ted Lasso" star Jason Sudeikis. Others who arrived included actors Hugh Grant and Ethan Hawke.
Black sport utility vehicles snarled traffic as they drove into the facility, stopping when workers asked occupants to show electronic tickets for verification.
"Watch your toes!" yelled a person at the checkpoint to the crowd while guests' cars passed a few feet away.

Gavin Strachan has left Celtic after six years as a first-team coach, joining West Bromwich Albion as part of James Morrison's new backroom staff – a departure that strips Martin O'Neill of the club's longest-serving coaching specialist at the worst possible moment.
The news lands at a time of genuine uncertainty around the coaching structure at Celtic Park, with O'Neill still bedding in after his appointment as manager and the full shape of his permanent staff yet to be confirmed. Strachan's exit, reported widely across Celtic-focused media, is not officially denied and is treated as confirmed by those closest to the club.
Strachan, 47 and son of former Celtic and Scotland manager Gordon Strachan, joined the club in June 2020 under Neil Lennon, taking over from Damien Duff as first-team coach. He was retained by Ange Postecoglou in 2021 and again carried over when Brendan Rodgers returned for his second spell – a rare constant through an era that has been anything but settled.
His specialism was set-pieces and opposition **** ysis, and internally he was regarded as the club's lead set-piece coach. That is not a role you replace with a phone call and a handshake the week before pre-season. It is detailed, **** ulative work, and whoever fills that gap will be starting from scratch.
Reports indicate that family ties in the Midlands played a part in the decision, and BBC Sport frames the move as part of the reshaping of Morrison's backroom at West Brom, with Morrison said to have welcomed Strachan's "new perspectives" for their Championship campaign. Fine for them. Less fine for us.

On June 9, the same day the Crew traded defender Yevhen Cheberko, Columbus announced the signing of free-agent defender Brooks Lennon.
"I’m extremely excited to be joining the Crew,” Lennon said in a statement. “It’s an incredible organization with amazing facilities, and the way Columbus likes to play fits my style perfectly. I can’t wait to get going."
Lennon signed through June 2027, with club options for the 2027-28 and 2028-29 seasons.
The nine-year MLS veteran spent the previous six seasons with Atlanta United, recording 153 starts in 171 regular-season appearances until the end of his contract in 2025. Lennon also spent time with Liverpool before making the move to MLS and Real Salt Lake in 2018.
According to general manager Issa Tall, Lennon was a player the Crew were eyeing during the offseason, but ultimately passed on due to coach Henrik Rydstrom's style of play. With Laurent Courtois taking over following Rydstrom's firing on May 17, the Crew's approach to scouting players has changed.
