Bebe Rexha is setting the record straight when it comes to dating rumors between her and New York Knicks star Jordan Clarkson.
TMZ caught up with the "Meant to Be" singer in New York City and asked if the romance rumors between her and the NBA champion were true. The pop singer began shaking her head no in response and telling the reporter that they're "friends."
Fans believed that there could have been a romance between the two after they reportedly spent a full day together last month, according to the outlet. The two attended an art session alongside artist Leopoldo Gout, where Clarkson was seen putting his arm around the singer as they posed for a picture. After the art session, the two went to a Vogue event together at the Rockefeller Center.

Phil Parkinson is "probably" under pressure as Wrexham manager for the first time, according to former Wales striker Iwan Roberts.
Friday night's 2-1 home defeat by Birmingham left Wrexham winless and without a clean sheet in four matches across all competitions so far in 2026-27.
Roberts told BBC Radio Wales: "I think he [Parkinson] is probably under pressure for the first time since he's been at Wrexham.
"He's had some incredible success at the football club. I think he's quite stubborn in his way, in his tactics, he doesn't like to change, and I don't mind that because they have been so successful.
"But I've said it too many times, when you're chasing a game, you're behind with 15, 20 minutes to go, he still persists with the back three, instead of maybe trying something different, going to a back four and getting another body further forward."

Birmingham City beat Wrexham 2-1 at the Racecourse Ground, with centre-back Phil Neumann scoring twice to secure all three points.
Neumann opened the scoring from close range in the 13th minute before Callum Doyle levelled for Wrexham shortly after half-time. The hosts had started to build momentum at that stage, but Birmingham responded quickly and Neumann struck again in the 63rd minute, heading home August Priske's cross.
Wrexham pushed for another equaliser late on and Kieffer Moore forced James Beadle into a save, while Sam Smith also missed from close range. Birmingham, though, managed the final stages well enough to protect their lead and see out the win.
Birmingham made the brighter start and threatened from a series of early set-pieces. Their pressure paid off in the 13th minute when Alex Cochrane delivered from the left and Neumann arrived inside the six-yard box to head past Anthony Patterson.
Wrexham gradually worked their way into the game. Moore tested Beadle with a header before Danny Imray forced another save from the Birmingham goalkeeper, but the visitors reached half-time with their one-goal advantage intact.

Watford have been handed a boost ahead of Saturday's home clash with West Ham United, with Omar Traore available for selection.
The right-back is fit to face the Hammers after being replaced by Albert Eames during last weekend's 1-1 draw at Wrexham.
However, the Hornets remain without five players through injury.
Marc Bola is sidelined with a hamstring problem, while Kwadwo Baah is recovering from a thigh injury.
Jeremy Ngakia remains out with a hamstring issue, while Jack Grieves is recovering from a knee problem and Travis Akomeah is sidelined with a foot injury.

Being in the midst of a sports reality show really isn't what you'd expect it to be. But then again, "Welcome to Wrexham" isn't like any other sports reality show, so I shouldn't be too surprised by how things turned out.
I ***** umed it would be an experience marked by intrusive camera crews recording our mundanity, which a melodramatic editing process would twist until everybody on the show was an embarrassing meme. Instead, it must be said that the camera crews are positively lovely, accepted within both the club and the town as friends, not an unfortunate necessity.
Rather than create shock value, the show is remarkably good at selecting people and themes. It reflects what I experience, both as a fan of the club and a resident of Wrexham. To illustrate this, consider the one moment in all five seasons which I felt was inauthentic. It came early on, when Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds' representative, Humphrey Ker, endured a disastrous introduction to the players and manager, Dean Keates.

Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson expects Birmingham City to make changes to their team for their Championship game tonight (20:00 BST) after the Blues were hammered by Brentford in the EFL Cup in midweek.
Like Wrexham, the Blues have drawn both of their two Championship matches so far this season.
But Chris Davies' men were thrashed 6-1 by the Premier League Bees in the second round of the EFL Cup on Tuesday night - with the 41-year-old head coach receiving criticism of late.
Despite the noise surrounding Davies' position as Birmingham boss, Parkinson says the Red Dragons' sole focus will be on building from the positives of their 1-1 league draw with Watford last time out.
"There will be changes I should imagine in the (Birmingham) team, first of all because it was a cup game, secondly because of the result and there will be a reaction," Parkinson said.

Cancer is serious. Ryan Reynolds is not. Luckily his characteristic sense of humor, along with being true to his word, has helped shine a light on a sobering topic in a fun way. First, he made a friendly bet with his Welcome to Wrexham co-star Rob McElhenney of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia with whom he also co-owns the Welsh football club Wrexham A.F.C.
The bet? That McElhenney would not be able to learn Welsh, the official language of Wales, where their soccer team is located. The stakes? If Reynolds lost, he'd have to get a colonoscopy… and post the entire thing to YouTube. About 30 seconds into a YouTube upload **** led "Rob & Ryan Lead From Behind," McElhenney begins speaking in near-fluent Welsh.
Uh-oh. Colonoscopy it is.
Reynolds is an actor famous for hilarious hijinks. From his intense fictional feud with Hugh Jackman to performing epic pranks on talk shows, he is often the best thing on the internet for a good laugh. However, he is also not one to shy away from difficult conversations, particularly when it comes to health. So raising awareness about the importance of colonoscopies was, as he quipped, "enough motivation for me to let you in on a camera being shoved up my **** ."
Reynolds might have lost the bet, but his actions paid off. The procedure turned out to be lifesaving.

Wrexham are poised to sign Issa Kabore on a permanent deal from Manchester City in addition to bringing in left-back Jacques Ekomie from French side Angers.
Burkina Faso international Kabore featured 32 times across all competitions for the Red Dragons in 2025-26.
His eight ***** ists in the Championship were more than any other Wrexham player.
Following seven loan moves away from City, the 25-year-old is now close to sealing a permanent exit from the Etihad Stadium.
Ekomie recently entered the final year of his deal with Angers and reportedly attracted interest from Wrexham's Championship rivals West Ham United and German side Hamburg.

Manchester United boss Michael Carrick was in the stands at Leigh Sports Village as JJ Gabriel marked his Premier League 2 debut by scoring a brilliant second-half goal in a 5-0 win against Ipswich Town.
Carrick gave 15-year-old Gabriel his first senior minutes in pre-season when he brought the forward on against Atletico Madrid in Stockholm on 1 August.
It proved to be Gabriel's only appearance, although he was part of Carrick's squad for all but the first game against Wrexham in Helsinki.
Gabriel has already made an impact at under-21 level in the build-up to the new campaign, but against a physically much bigger Ipswich side, he set up Victor Musa for Manchester United's opener within two minutes.
Last season's Premier League Under-18 player of the year also teed up full-back Jaydan Kamason in a one-sided first half.

An actual headache has caused a defensive headache for Watford and puts more pressure on the club to go back into the transfer market before deadline day.
A nasty head clash between Omar Traore and Wrexham's George Thomason just before half time in Saturday's 1-1 draw now leaves the Hornets with just three senior defenders.
Traore's contribution before he came off injured was key. He provided the cross from which Luca Kjerrumgaard's headed the opener 13 minutes in, and won a number of challenges in a first half where Watford were more resolute in both defence and turning over the ball to the counter-attacking speed required under the style of play demanded by new manager Alessio Dionisi.
Traore — or someone of his level — was missed in the second half, as Wrexham got more time on the ball and crafted the better half-chances.
So, while the pre-match conversation may have been around Watford's attacking options in the Kjerrumgaard v Doumbia choice, the immediate challenge now lies at the other end of the pitch, and the transfer market may have to provide the solution.

While the two series share much DNA, two major differences separate Sunderland 'Til I Die and Welcome to Wrexham.
The most obvious is that Wrexham's story is just as much, if not more, the story of two very famous actors doing the fish-out-of-water thing in both Wales and soccer ownership as it is the soccer club.
Second, Welcome to Wrexham is a story of triumph, while Sunderland 'Til I Die – at least the first two seasons – is decidedly not.
A month ago, it was suggested that I, the Roker Report's token American, write my own version of Will Patterson's "An Open Letter to Americans Looking for a Premier League Home." It hasn't happened until now because I've struggled to come up with something to say that Will hadn't already said better.
But I'm ready to give it a shot – albeit a shot that probably would have made more sense before the opening game.

Two games, two draws. Something to build on for Wrexham.
The need for further transfer business loomed large over the Racecourse following the 1-1 draw with Watford that frustrated fans on the first home afternoon of the new Championship campaign.
But, dominating the skyline of the ground - and the city - a towering, tangible reminder of the scale of the ambition at the north Wales club.
The new £70m Kop stand is still lacking fans, still not completed, but the concrete and steel shape of an exciting future was obvious when both players and fans took their positions for the first fixture of the season at their changing north Walian home.
"It's exciting because it's a real symbol of hope ahead," said chief executive Michael Williamson.

Phil Parkinson is remaining calm over Wrexham's bid for late transfer business despite admitting there is no guarantee of new additions.
The manager had spoken of the difficulty of the transfer window for Wrexham in the build-up to Saturday's 1-1 draw with Watford.
He reiterated the north Wales club are having to battle for the signings they want after his side were frustrated at the Racecourse in front of watching co-chairmen Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac.
Parkinson said he was keen to add "difference-makers" after seeing his side come from behind, but struggle to find a way to a winner against Watford, though admitted the club who have journeyed from non-league are up against new competition.

Ollie Rathbone says his last-gasp equaliser for Wrexham against Watford last season helped end a difficult period in his career.
The attacking midfielder scored within a minute of coming off the bench to salvage a 2-2 draw with the Hornets in December.
It was Rathbone's first league outing of the season after he missed several months of action due to a serious ankle injury sustained during pre-season.
"It was definitely a huge moment in my season, and in my career really," he said of his strike against Watford.
"It's definitely one that I look back on because I could closed the chapter on a difficult period and then I kicked on from there.

Head coach Brian Barry-Murphy says his Cardiff City squad is "vulnerable" after centre-back Gabriel Osho joined their list of fitness concerns.
Osho was seen on crutches after the 1-1 draw with Wrexham on Monday due to a knee issue.
The Championship side are already without fellow defenders Will Fish, Dylan Lawlor and Calum Chambers and have had to move established full-backs into central defence this season.
Left-back Joel Bagan started the Wrexham game in a central role and Perry Ng, who normally operates at right-back, did the same in the EFL Cup win over Swindon.
"We're in a situation at the moment where we're a little bit stretched, so we're a little bit vulnerable, but we feel as if we can be really competitive at the start of the season," Barry-Murphy said.

It did not take long for Kieffer Moore to underline once again his importance to Wrexham's hopes of success.
Less than three minutes into the new Championship campaign, the Wales forward was wheeling away to celebrate his first goal of 2026-27.
Even after Rubin Colwill's punishing Cardiff City equaliser denied Wrexham the Welsh derby bragging rights in the last moments of Monday's game, it was hard to shift the smile of a striker who knows the importance of a fast start in front of goal.
Moore's early goal had left former Wales international Nathan Blake purring on punditry duty and manager Phil Parkinson praising his "brilliant" leading of the line.
So far, so good – and similar to the impact from a key role last term.

Lewis O'Brien says Wrexham's 1-1 draw with Cardiff City "hurts" as his side failed to see out victory in the Welsh capital.
Phil Parkinson's side appeared destined to kick-start their 2026-27 Championship campaign with a win over the Bluebirds after Kieffer Moore's third-minute strike.
But substitute Rubin Colwill struck a free-kick beyond debutant Anthony Patterson in the eighth minute of added time to earn Brian Barry-Murphy's men a share of the spoils at Cardiff City Stadium.
"It hurts to put that much effort into a game and draw like that. It's a really tough one to take," said O'Brien.
"I think we started well, we started fast. Obviously got the goal early. I think we played some good stuff.

#o 'brien #city #started

Cardiff City boss Brian Barry-Murphy has urged patience with Rubin Colwill after the midfielder scored a late equaliser in Monday's 1-1 draw with Wrexham.
Colwill came off the bench to rescue a point for Cardiff, but Barry-Murphy admitted he may have introduced the 23-year-old earlier than planned given his limited training time.
The Wales international has only completed two days of training and will now be ***** sed ahead of Cardiff's next fixture against Derby.
"Rubin has only trained for two days, so I probably shouldn't have put him on as early as I did, but the way the game was going I felt we needed a bit of something different," Barry-Murphy said.
Colwill made an immediate impact after being introduced, finding the net late on with a stunning free-kick to ensure Cardiff avoided defeat against their Welsh rivals.

Phil Parkinson bemoaned his team's lack of ruthlessness – and the amount of stoppage time at the end of the game – after a 98th-minute equaliser denied Wrexham a Welsh derby victory over Cardiff City.
Parkinson's side were on course to begin the new Championship campaign with a hard-fought win after Kieffer Moore's third-minute goal at the Cardiff City Stadium.
Wrexham missed chances to extend their lead – and twice hit the woodwork – on a night when they carried greater threat than their hosts only to be denied a win when Rubin Colwill smashed in a free-kick in the last act of the game.
"We've had chances to kill the game off. We haven't taken them, the keeper's made saves, but we haven't really made him make a top-class save," Parkinson said.
"We knew we could give Cardiff problems and time and time again we did. Really in the cold light of day, the game should have been out of sight, but it wasn't."

Brian Barry-Murphy toasted substitute Rubin Colwill's impact in Cardiff City's dramatic Welsh derby draw with Wrexham - after admitting he should not have come on as early as he did.
The Bluebirds seemed destined for defeat in their opening game of the new Championship season after Kieffer Moore's early goal at the Cardiff City Stadium.
On a night when Wrexham missed chances to put the game to bed, Cardiff huffed and puffed, but looked like lacking the quality to find an equaliser until Colwill lashed home a free-kick in the eighth minute of stoppage time.
"I thought he had a big impact on a big game," Barry-Murphy said.

Former Iceland striker Jon Dadi Bodvarsson has announced his retirement at the age of 34.
Bodvarsson scored four goals in 64 international appearances for Iceland and started the Euro 2016 match in which his country upset England 2-1 to advance to the quarter-finals, a result that led to Roy Hodgson's resignation.
The striker spent almost ten years in England, first at Wolves, and then Reading and Millwall, before a successful spell at Bolton between 2022 and 2024 where he scored 25 goals in 94 appearances.
He also played for Wrexham and Burton Albion before heading home to Iceland to return to his first club Selfoss.
Bodvarsson said in a statement on social media: "I want to thank all my managers, coaches, players and staff members that I've been grateful enough to have met and worked with. It was great sharing the highs and lows of football with you."

Cardiff City and Wrexham bid to bring the opening weekend of the new Championship season to a spectacular end with a blockbuster Monday night showdown in south Wales.
The Bluebirds face the Red Dragons in a league match for the first time in 24 years, after Cardiff secured a return to the second tier at the first attempt.
In addition to the eyes of those across the south and north of Wales being transfixed on proceedings at Cardiff City Stadium, the contest will attract global attention.
"When the fixture came out everyone was instantly excited by it," said Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson.
"It's a Welsh derby and just a great game for both clubs to start."

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, the Hollywood owners of English second-tier side Wrexham, have restated their ambition for the club to win the Championship **** le and so complete a remarkable journey from National League to the Premier League.
Wrexham begin their 2026/27 Championship campaign with a Welsh derby away to Cardiff on Monday, having narrowly missed out on a play-off spot last term after finishing seventh in the regular season.
They went into the final day in sixth place, but a 2-2 draw at home to Middlesbrough allowed Hull to leapfrog Wrexham into the play-offs, with the Tigers going on to win promotion to the Premier League.
Deadpool star Reynolds said he felt "obscene pride" at Wrexham's league finish and co-owner McElhenney has underlined their determination to reach the top flight after playing in the fifth tier of English football as recently as 2023.
"What we say (to players) is we want to win –- and we want to win right now," "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" creator McElhenney told the Men in Blazers video podcast.

Middlesbrough, who currently have three USMNT players in their squad, kick off their Championship campaign against Lincoln City on Saturday.
Boro missed out on promotion to the Premier League last season after losing in the play-off final but have been busy in the transfer market this summer as they look to finally get over the line.
On that front, USMNT players Sebastian Berhalter and Max Arfsten have secured moves to Teesside from the MLS.
The duo made their Middlesbrough debuts last week in the Carabao Cup against Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac's Wrexham, while Berhalter has been named in the starting XI for their first Championship game of the season against Lincoln City.
Arfsten is also in the squad and is starting on the bench, but there is no room in the side at all for fellow USMNT player Aidan Morris, who is injured.

Manchester United conclude their pre-season tour with a trip to Wroclaw, Poland to face Italian giants AC Milan for a final tune-up before the Premier League season begins.
The tie will have an extra edge to it as it marks a reunion for the Red Devils with former head coach Ruben Amorim, who left under a cloud with United floundering in the Premier League and having won just 24 of 63 matches in charge.
Man United v AC Milan LIVE: Latest team news and updates from pre-season friendly
After a blip against Wrexham in their opener United have had a successful summer tour, beating Norwegian side Rosenborg, Atletico Madrid and drawing against Paris Saint-Germain. Their most recent outing was a 1-1 draw with Leeds in Dublin.
Milan, however, are without a win under Amorim. They lost 3-0 to Chelsea in their last friendly and drew with Celtic and city rivals Inter Milan, with Amorim already facing scrutiny for a poor start to life at the helm.

Manchester United and Leeds United will bring football to Dublin's iconic Croke Park for the first time since 2009 as the arch-rivals square off in a match that is friendly in name only.
United have enjoyed a promising pre-season since their opening slip-up against Wrexham in July, beating Atletico Madrid before holding European champions Paris Saint-Germain to a draw last weekend.
Leeds have also impressed in the build-up to the new Premier League campaign and most notably stunned Liverpool during their tour of the United States, coming from two goals down to win 4-2 in Chicago.
Daniel Farke's will hope to repeat their heroics of four months ago, which saw Leeds win their first league game at Old Trafford since 1981, getting another one over on their cross-Pennines rivals at a venue fitting of their rivalry.

The small town in Wales has become a global tourist destination since the launch of the Welcome to Wrexham documentary.
Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac bought the Red Dragons back in 2021 and have since guided the club from the National League (fifth tier) to the Championship (second tier of English football).
Amid their on-field success, Wrexham have gained popularity on the world stage thanks to their ongoing documentary.
Reynolds and Mac's involvement, coupled with the docuseries, has led to an increase in tourism in the town, while one American couple have even decided to relocate to Wales.

Wrexham got their competitive 2026/27 campaign underway last week, suffering their first defeat of the season.
The Red Dragons travelled to Middlesbrough in the first round of the Carabao Cup and lost 1-0, exiting the competition as a result.
Striker Sam Smith had a good chance to open the scoring on the night, but his effort was saved well.
Now, with some firepower lacking in Wrexham's attack, there is talk that they could land Joe Gelhardt from Leeds United.
