The Ballon d'Or may be heading to Germany, with Harry Kane back as the favourite to lift the trophy on betting sites.
After scoring 73 goals in 65 appearances for club and country, including six goals for England at the World Cup, Kane has been reinstalled as the favourite to clinch world football's top individual honour.
The race previously shifted in favour of Barcelona's Lamine Yamal, with the teenager going odds-on with the bookies after he played his part in Spain becoming the world champions for only the second time.
But ahead of the glittering ceremony on October 26, the England skipper could be about to add even more honours to his already impressive CV.
Were Kane to win the Ballon d'Or, he'd be only the fifth Englishman to clinch the prize and the first since Michael Owen in 2001. He was installed as the early frontrunner by football betting sites after a storming 2025/26 campaign.

Kylie Jenner showed her playful mom trick to wake her kids in the "Day in the Life" vlog. She shared a video on her YouTube page, giving a glimpse of how she spends a day from morning to night. It started with waking her two kids — Stormi (8) and Aire (4) — using a clever parenting hack. This definitely seemed to work, as the two children were stirring in no time.
Kylie Jenner's "Day in the Life" vlog showed her using a clever mom trick to wake her kids as part of their morning routine. On her YouTube page, the socialite shared a video of her day with her fans. In it, she recorded herself from morning to night, sharing a glimpse of her daily routine and fun activities.
The 10-minute and 19-second clip started with Jenner holding a black megaphone. She was still under the blanket on her huge bed. Her slightly puffed face showed that she had just woken up as well. While the mother of two was on one end of the bed, her daughter Stormi was on the other side. Initially, Jenner's voice cracked while saying "Good Morning" using the megaphone. It made her burst into laughter.
Then, she composed herself and tried again— louder and clearer. "Good morning, Stormi! Rise and Shine! It's a beautiful day. You are healthy, you are beautiful, you're smart. And we're going to conquer the day. Get up," Jenner woke her daughter up in a ****** se voice. Meanwhile, Stormi stirred in her sleep and tried not to wake up, but failed.
Furthermore, Jenner used the same trick with her son, Aire. She playfully sang, "Rise and Shine. Good morning, stinky ****** ." Then, she snuggled into her kid and showered him with kisses to wake him up with more love and care. Later, Jenner set her daughter's hair before the 8-year-old left for school.

Tommy McMillen doesn't always make it look pretty but he sure knows how to put on a show as he won a back-and-forth war against Marwan Rahiki at Noche UFC on Saturday.
The featherweights battled it out over three rounds with Rahiki nearly scoring a finish in the second round and then McMillen storming back to win the third round and the fight. It was a wild affair but when the final horn sounded, McMillen had done enough for the victory with the judges scoring the fight 29-28, 29-28 and 29-27 in his favor.
"Let's go Arizona!" McMillen shouted to his home audience. "He had a pretty good second round, busted me up a little bit but I knew I could out dog him.
"Tomorrow morning, I'm going hopt on a [plane] to Vegas and I'll be there on Dec. 12 waiting on my next victim and my next $100K bonus."
An early takedown opened the fight for McMillen but Rahiki was quick to break free and get back to the feet. The featherweights were just standing and banging with both landing some solid strikes along the way. A late pair of right hands from McMillen definitely caught Rahiki off guard as they continued blasting away at each other.

What's done is done. Western Michigan lost, Michigan won, and that's not going to change.
But one prominent WMU alum has floated another way for all parties to rectify the situation, in the wake of Michigan's stunning — and controversial — win over Western Michigan at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor last Saturday, Sept. 5.
Jason Babin, who starred at Western Michigan before going on to a long career in the NFL, said on social media this week that Michigan, the Big Ten or the TV networks, or some combination of all three, should actually cut Western Michigan a check. He suggested an "eight-figure" check.
His point: The big boys can afford it, Western Michigan sure could use it (especially in this era of NIL), and it's at least a gesture that would help all parties move on.
"I'm thinking to myself, 'OK, no putting the genie back in the bottle, what could we do to rectify the situation?'" Babin said on X (formerly Twitter) earlier this week, as the reaction to Michigan's last-second, 13-12 victory was still white hot, especially on social media. "Can't change the outcome. Can't say Western's got the win, frickin' Michigan's got the loss. that would look worse than Michigan fans storming the field after the game. The only thing I can think logically that could possibly make the situation relatively better would be an eight-figure check, maybe from the Big Ten, from Michigan, maybe a combination, networks, I don't know, somebody — a financial donation, we could call it.

European champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen produced another barnstorming run to win the men's 5000m at the inaugural World Athletics Ultimate Championships in Budapest.
The Paris Olympic champion kept a low profile in the middle of the pack before storming around the outside to surge clear in the closing 100m.
American Parker Wolfe came to the front at the bell but was unable to prevent Ingebrigtsen powering away to a comprehensive victory, winning in 12:59.24. Cole Hocker was second in 13:00.05 and Wolfe clung on for third in 13:00.13.
"Easy work," Ingebrigtsen said afterwards with a grin, before collecting the trophy at the brand-new event - along with a winner's cheque for $150,000, which all individual champions will receive.
The Norwegian - frighteningly for his rivals - is still not at 100% fitness as he continues his comeback from an Achilles injury which required surgery in February.

Based on Thursday night's smothering down under by the 49ers against the Rams, it appears that San Francisco's early-arrival approach worked better than the Rams' strategy of barnstorming.
But Week 1 is just part of the equation. The Rams were surely thinking about the recovery from the long trip, with the goal of being ready for the next game, against the Giants to cap Week 2.
And it doesn't get easy after that. The Rams travel to Denver for a Sunday night game before playing in Philadelphia the next Sunday afternoon. After that, it's another Monday night game — against the Bills.
The 49ers will have to fly home after fully acclimating to Australia and re-acclimating to America. The Dolphins come to town in Week 2, followed by visits from the Cardinals and Broncos. In Week 5, the 49ers make their annual visit to the Seahawks.
In many respects, Thursday night's game is only the beginning. Where both teams go from here after going home will show plenty.

Top seed Aryna Sabalenka stayed on course for a third consecutive US Open crown on Thursday, storming into the final with a straight sets demolition of American third seed Jessica Pegula.
Sabalenka – who beat Pegula en route to US Open wins in 2024 and 2025 – punched her ticket to Saturday's final with a 7-5, 6-2 win on the Arthur Ashe Stadium court.
The 28-year-old Belarusian, bidding to join Chris Evert and Serena Williams as the only women to win three straight US Open ****** les, swatted aside Pegula with a dominant service game and a fearsome array of powerful groundstrokes.
Sabalenka will face the winner of Thursday's other semi-final between second seed Elena Rybakina or fourth seed Coco Gauff -- who beat Sabalenka in the 2023 final.
On the evidence of her semi-final win, Sabalenka will head into the final bristling with confidence after producing her best performance of the tournament to snuff out Pegula's dream of a first ever Grand Slam ****** le.

A Wyoming football player appears to have pushed at least one fan during a field storming at Canvas Stadium after Colorado State won the Border War on Sept. 5.
Various social media accounts posted videos showing Wyoming defensive lineman Jayden Williams pushing at least one person as CSU fans rushed the field after the Rams won to secure the Bronze Boot trophy.
Several posts on social media with videos showed Williams pushing a fan. Wyoming coach Jay Sawvel responded to the incident in his weekly press conference on Sept. 7, saying it has "been addressed."
"I've seen the Jayden video, been made aware of it. Made aware of it first, watched it. Watched it a couple different times. It's been addressed and will be addressed further in house. Obviously, we don't condone that from players to fans or anything from that standpoint. That will be something we address team wide, as well," Sawvel said, according to a report from Kaycee Clark-Mellott from KGWN TV.
"That's not the way we're going to operate," Sawvel said.

A versatile and highley rated performer, on paper it seemed to some as if Calvin Palmer's big money move in February 1968 was exactly what Sunderland's struggling squad needed, and yet when he departed two years the later his release felt inevitable – and the man that had brought him was certainly happy to see him go.
Bought by the recently reinstalled Alan Brown, Palmer's issues rarely came down to ability. Although fans felt they never got to see the same all action displays he produced at previous club Stoke City they still recognised his versatility and commitment to winning, particularly during one early appearance when against Stoke he took over from the injured Jimmy Montgomery in goal. It was an example of the type of self-sacrifice Brown would usually appreciate and yet the pair were unable to ever strike up a working relationship, a clash of personalities meaning that the notoriously formidable manager and his unconventional recruit often ***** ed heads.
Palmer would invariably take his football seriously but as a character struggled to acquiesce to Brown's rigid structure and expectations. A squad trip to a cinema the month after signing, during which Palmer decided to leave early, led to Brown disciplining him for a breach of club rules for instance, and once the tone was set a number of other battles followed. By January 1970 Palmer was on the transfer list at his own request, and there was clearly no way back for him.
A court case and subsequent driving ban that month served to emphasise the differences between the player and manager; Palmer had found himself on the wrong side of the law whilst Brown had previously served as a police officer and maintained a strict zero tolerance attitude towards any sort of infringements thereafter. In more modern times it might be sensed that Palmer's nature simply warranted a different approach, but the 'Bomber's' management style never relied on subtlety and in the May he confirmed his decision to cut his losses on the £70,000 fee that had been paid and gave his player a free transfer.
It was presumed that this would be the end of the matter, but Palmer, often accused of being 'outspoken' in those more deferential times, did still intend of having the final word. In August he joined Cape Town City and the following month there was to be a rude awakening for Brown when on this day a national Sunday paper launched a 'warts and all' series detailing from South Africa the views and stories of the now ex Rokerman. Whereas Palmer's seemingly divergent traits would be better understood now it was easy then to tag him as a controversial figure, but even still the new column was quite the exposé, with the account being labelled as an 'explosive' chat with 'football's stormiest rebel'.

Michigan football earned the second chance of a lifetime on Saturday night when a bizarre clock quirk gave the team an extra second to get a walk-off touchdown over Western Michigan at the Big House.
Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood hit wide receiver JJ Buchanan with a controversial extra second added to the clock to pull off the come-from-behind victory over the visiting Broncos.
Did Western Michigan get robbed in Michigan loss on second added to clock?
After the dramatic finish, Wolverines fans actually stormed the field to celebrate the win. Yes, they stormed the field after beating... Western Michigan. That actually happened.
Obviously, it was an emotional finish that looked like a loss... but Michigan fans storming the field after beating Western Michigan? Really?

Last week, news was revealed that driver Riley Herbst has found a home for next season. After being unceremoniously cut loose in favor of Corey Heim at 23XI Racing earlier this season, it was announced that Herbst will join Legacy Motor Club in NASCAR's Cup series starting in 2027.
The news that Herbst would be joining Legacy wasn't exactly a huge, earth-shattering, stop-the-presses moment. In fact, it was actually a bit odd. That is, until you look a little deeper, pull back the curtain and see what's really going on.
That Riley Herbst moved up to a full-time NASCAR Cup Series ride with 23XI starting just last season is head-scratching. To be teamed up with Tyler Reddick and Bubba Wallace, both of whom are proven winners, even more so.
The fact is, the 27-year-old native of Las Vegas hasn't exactly set the NASCAR world alight since making his NASCAR debut in the Truck Series in 2018. Yes, he did score three wins in NASCAR's second-tier O'Reilly Auto Parts Series scattered among 179 starts, but his best finish in the season standings was an unremarkable seventh. A decent résumé to be sure, but not exactly the stuff NASCAR dreams are made of.
In his 61 starts in the Cup Series since joining 23XI in 2025, Herbst has not come close to anything resembling a Victory Lane. He has only three top-10 finishes among those starts, so it's little wonder he was cast off for Heim, a younger driver who had two wins in just 16 starts in a part-time role in the Cup Series just this year after storming his way to the Truck Series ****** le with 12 wins in 2025.

Jakob Ingebrigtsen admits he is "a long way" from the level that he expects. The maverick Norwegian made a dramatic return to racing at the European Championships in Birmingham, storming to 5,000m gold to banish skepticism surrounding his condition and his nerve to compete on the big stage following a 323-day absence after a debilitating Achilles injury.
Athletics is a star-driven sport and the 1,500m, among its most compelling events, alongside the women's 800m, depends on head-to-head duels when records, such as Josh Kerr's captivating tilt at the one mile mark in London, are not at stake.
The two great rivals, who were famously caught snoozing in Paris two years ago as Cole Hocker slipped up the inside of the rail to ***** gold, continue to bristle at each other's journeys away from the track.
Ingebrigtsen's command and control across 5,000m is mesmerising, but even if Kerr was merely provocative in his claim that "no one cares" about that event, the pure chaos of the 1,500m reigns and its former Nordic king knows all too well.
"I think a lot of people should be [disappointed in Kerr's absence from some championships]," Ingebrigtsen had remarked. "Because that is what championships are all about. It's not for us as athletes to choose almost where to participate. We have these championships for a reason, and that is for the best athletes to compete - that is the whole point.

The Lebanon volleyball team twice were just one point away from a statement victory on Thursday night when they traveled to Class 3A No. 10 Tri-West.
After winning the first two sets, the Tigers twice had match point to finish off the Bruins, but after the hosts came back to win the third 28-26 the Tigers couldn't get the momentum back in a 18-25, 23-25, 28-26, 25-15, 15-9 win for Tri-West.
"A lot of it is mentality and discipline," Lebanon head coach Sarah Chastain said. "Once you get into a fifth set, or fourth set, and the match is tight, it comes down to who can work when they're tired, who can be disciplined when they're tired and who can stay aggressive. At the end of the day, you are winning that game by being aggressive, and we got complacent - that was the biggest difference."
The Tigers got off to the start they were hoping for, dominating the first set and leading by as many as 12 as they cruised to a 1-0 lead. They had to battle back more in the second, falling behind 7-2 early before storming back to take a 13-12 lead.
Tied at 20, kills by Kinley Young and Mallory Short ignited a push to get Lebanon up 22-20, and they held off the Bruins from there.

College students spend four years planning for what to do once they leave campus, and spend the next 40 years trying to figure how to get back. It's a truism that college administrators and broadcasters would do well to remember as they continue to separate college football from college campuses.
On Saturday, North Carolina will kick off its season against TCU in Dublin, the fifth straight year that Ireland has hosted a Week 0 game. A few weeks later, Arizona State will face Kansas in London's Wembley Stadium.
If you're wondering what the Tarheels and Horned Frogs have to do with the Emerald Isle, or why the Sun Devils will travel halfway around the planet to play football, well, you're asking the right questions. As with everything else in college football right now, there are multiple vectors at play here, and absolutely none of them point in the direction of the average fan.

American universities have played football in international stadiums for as long as the game has existed, sometimes for bowl games, sometimes as part of barnstorming or goodwill tours. (Bo Jackson's final snaps as a college player technically came in a **** anese all-star game in 1986.)

Kylie Jenner reflects on having kids young and feeling like she missed out on some of her youth
She plans to focus on new opportunities and has decided not to have more children in her 20s
Jenner recently shared she doesn't see herself using a surrogate and is enjoying time with her two kids
Kylie Jenner loves being a mom, but admits that having two kids by 24 also made her lose some of her "young years," too.
In a new profile for Who What Wear, the 29-year-old Kylie Cosmetics and Khy co-founder got candid about having kids at a young age. Jenner, who shares her daughter Stormi, 8, and son Aire, 5, with ex Travis Scott, 35, explained that she is embracing this next decade of her life and hoping to branch out into the unknown.

Bayern Munich have vowed to pick up where they left off last season, targeting the treble, while their outclassed Bundesliga rivals have undergone a reboot to try and cut the gap.
Bayern host German Cup runners-up Stuttgart in Friday's opener after a successful 2025-26 campaign, winning the double and chalking up the fourth-best points tally in Bundesliga history.
Flanked by Michael Olise and Luis Diaz, Harry Kane helped barnstorming Bayern score a record-breaking 122 goals in 34 Bundesliga games.
Double winners thanks to a Kane hat-trick in the Cup final against Stuttgart, Bayern lost just one of 40 domestic matches.
The Bavarian giants only met serious resistance in the Champions League, where they lost 6-5 on aggregate to eventual winners Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals.

Kylie Jenner's latest video with her son, Aire, is set to melt the internet. She shared a short clip on TikTok, capturing an adorable moment with her kid. It showed the pure, innocent bond between the mother and her baby boy. For those unversed, Jenner and her ex-partner, Travis Scott, have two kids — Stormi, 8, and Aire, 4.
Kylie Jenner has once again won the internet with a TikTok video with one of her kids, Aire. She posted a TikTok capturing an adorable moment between her and her son. In the clip, the duo lay on their bed while Jenner recorded it in selfie mode.
Aire was snuggling with his mom and held a crochet sunflower. In the background, Lana Del Rey's song, "Radio," played, and the mother-son duo attempted to lip-sync the lyrics. The video started with the line, "Now my life is sweet like cinnamon." Jenner and Aire looked at the camera, where the young mom posed with a pout while holding her kid in a warm embrace.
She silently mouthed the words, "like cinnamon," syncing with the lyrics. Meanwhile, Aire was waving the sunflower, which covered his face at the beginning of the clip. So, Jenner gently moved it away a bit, letting her son's face come into view clearly.
It appeared the child tried to lip-sync or say something over the song. The two were vibing to the track as Jenner ruffled Aire's hair and nodded her head to the lines. Furthermore, she added an infinity symbol in the caption.

Michael Olise scored a goal and created another as Bayern Munich won 2-1 at old foes Borussia Dortmund in the season-opening German Supercup on Saturday.
After a starring role with France at the World Cup, Olise was Bayern's most dangerous attacker, regularly tearing down the right flank.
He found makeshift midfielder Nathaniel Brown for Bayern's 28th-minute opener and then scored one of his own just before the break.
A late goal for former Wolverhampton striker Fabio Silva brought Dortmund closer and the hosts could have levelled deep into stoppage time but Maximilian Beier scuffed a golden chance when through on goal.
Bayern were rusty and barely resembled the barnstorming side which lost just once domestically last season but had enough quality to see off a rebuilding Dortmund team playing in the season opener for the first time since 2021.

RABUN GAP, Ga. — In a battle of two nationally ranked teams, Venice defeated Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School, 42-40 in overtime on the final play of the game to begin the 2026 season 1-0.
While the defenses were quiet in the second half, Venice's unit made the winning play, resulting in a field storming of Indians players and coaches after the near 10-hour trip to the Northeast Georgia Mountains.
Needing a 2-point conversion to stay alive, Rabun Gap quarterback Grayson Clary rolled to his right and fired a pass to the end zone for receiver Alanson Simmons, a tandem that connected for a touchdown earlier in the fourth quarter. Clary's pass fell incomplete as Venice's Micah Hayes arose from the trio of Indian defenders to knock the ball away.
Perhaps the most crucial decision of the night came from Venice head football coach John Peacock. After taking a 40-34 lead on the first play of overtime behind Dorien Jones' fifth touchdown of the night, Peacock elected to go for two, rather than kick the point after.
Matching the theme of the evening, Jones powered into the end zone once again, converting the 2-point try and giving Venice a 42-34 lead and the victory.

After falling behind two sets to one, Skyridge came storming back to take down Mountain Ridge in a 5-set thriller 25-17, 25-27, 22-25, 25-22, 17-15 on Thursday night.
"I couldn't be prouder of our team. I think we fought hard. That's a good team on the other side. They are a good coached team and they played well," said Skyridge head coach Siale Hifo.
"We've been working on emptying the tank with our team and just knowing that no matter what happens at the end of the game, we want to walk away with everyone giving it their all. I challenged them to do that, and I feel like they did that in every way."
After taking the opening set, Skyridge saw a dip in the quality of its service game, which allowed Mountain Ridge to take control and seize momentum in the following two sets.
Hifo knew that if her team was going to be able to come from behind and beat a strong team like Mountain Ridge, it couldn't just be about one player.

Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet are ready to follow in the footsteps of friends Tom Holland and Zendaya by tying the knot privately, a source tells In Touch.
"They love that Zendaya and Tom were able to get married without anyone knowing it was happening," the source says of the Spider-Man: Brand New Day costars, who recently hosted a starry wedding celebration in Surrey, England after secretly exchanging vows two months ago.
"No one got photos, it's all been ultra private and protected, and privacy is the new luxury among celebrities … so of course Kylie is drawn to that," adds the source.
Having grown up in front of the cameras, "her whole life has been commodified," the source says of the reality TV star, 29, who shares daughter Stormi, 8, and son Aire, 4, with ex Travis Scott.
"You can't blame her for wanting to do the same sort of thing: get married and then drop some vague hints later," notes the source. "She might go as far as sharing some photos, but if Timothee has his way, they won't even do that."

Northern Ireland's Ellie McCartney has won a bronze medal in the women's 200m **** troke final at the Commonwealth Games.
McCartney, 21, finished third behind home favourite Abgharad Evans and Kaylene Corbett of South Africa.
The 21-year-old had posted the sixth-fastest time in the semi-finals but put in a storming performance to take third in a time of 2:24.73.
Her time was enough to win bronze ahead of Australia's Ella Ramsay by 0.16 seconds.
McCartney is Commonwealth Youth Games in 2023 and European Under-23 gold medallist last year, but her bronze in Glasgow is a first senior international medal for the Enniskillen swimmer.

Lakers' Austin Reaves sends clear message to Knicks on championship they shouldn't ignore originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The New York Knicks didn’t always appear destined to win their first championship since 1973.
Whether losing back-to-back games to the Atlanta Hawks in the first round of the playoffs, facing a 22-point deficit in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers, or possessing a double-digit deficit in each of the NBA Finals contests vs. the San Antonio Spurs, New York’s 2025-26 ***** le quest was far from smooth.
However, in each of those situations, the Knicks remained connected and poised before storming back to regain control of the game/series, culminating in an NBA Finals victory in mid-June. On Friday, the Los Angeles Lakers sent a clear message to the Knicks on their hard-fought championship that they shouldn’t ignore.
"They care for one another,” Reaves said during an appearance on the Dan Patrick Show. “They play for one another. “I got to know some of those guys when I played with the USA team—with Mikal (Bridges), Josh (Hart), and JB (Jalen Brunson). Great dudes. You couldn’t ask for better humans.”

LAS VEGAS — Not quite 10 years ago, while attempting to record a UFC 205 pre-fight show outside of Madison Square Garden with Ariel Helwani and Marc Raimondi, a great fiasco took place. As soon as we started taping, a mob of Irishmen came storming toward us, a couple of hundred strong, singing and cavorting and generally causing a scene of pure pandemonium. That whole show consisted of Ariel holding onto the mic for dear life while Raimondi and I were consumed into the sea of green.
Ah, yes, the good ol’ days of Conor McGregor.
For that one, McGregor was getting ready to fight Eddie Alvarez for a second ***** le, this time at lightweight, and he was a virtual MMA god. I was thinking of that as he showed up to the UFC 329 press conference Thursday — on time, if you can believe that — to hype his fight with Max Holloway. Gone were the Irish who used to take out second mortgages to afford the trans-Atlantic flights to see their hero. What was on hand was a broader MMA fanbase, UFC fans, who gave McGregor the loudest pop when he played the hits, yet it wasn’t quite the same.
I heard somebody in the media call McGregor’s performance “cosplay,” which was an apt enough word for it. This version of Conor, the one who has found God, wanted everyone to know that the “Mac was back,” which the crowd got behind. Still, the conviction wasn’t there.
And maybe using a word like conviction hits a little too close to home, too. Because these days … well, it’s more complicated than it used to be.

Days like these for British players at Wimbledon need to be cherished.
Andy Murray ending the nation's 77-year wait for a men's singles champion in 2013 was the height of euphoria, and his commanding win three years later was not far behind.
Home hopes Johanna Konta and Cameron Norrie also sparked fervent support by unexpectedly reaching the semi-finals in the past nine years.
There was some logic to the memorable British runs that have illuminated the All England Club in recent years.
But wildcard Arthur Fery storming into the semi-finals?

Khloé Kardashian has delighted fans with a heartwarming glimpse into her family's Fourth of July celebrations, with daughter True Thompson stealing the spotlight thanks to her remarkably grown-up appearance.
The Kardashians star, 42, shared a carousel of festive snaps from the family's annual Independence Day celebrations in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, where she was joined by daughter True, eight, son Tatum, three, and a group of their young cousins Dream, Stormi and Aire.
The adorable photos captured the children dressed in patriotic red, white and blue outfits, complete with glitter face decorations, star-spangled accessories and American flag fans as they celebrated the holiday together.
One standout image showed Khloé cuddling up to True, who flashed a huge smile while sporting shimmering red, white and blue face glitter. Fans were quick to notice just how much the eldest Thompson sibling has grown, with her striking smile and sleek hairstyle drawing comparisons to her famous mother.
Another sweet snap featured Khloé posing with all four children beneath a giant American flag, while little Tatum beamed as he stood front and centre in an oversized white T-shirt.

The barnstorming US performance in the World Cup group stage has helped cement the appeal of football for millions of sports-lovers in the country that is co-hosting the tournament along with Mexico and Canada.
Solid wins over Paraguay and Australia saw the United States finish top of Group D with more goals for the US men's team than at any past World Cup.
"I need to remind everyone we won the group, sorry guys, we won," said head coach Mauricio Pochettino after the US slipped in their final group encounter to lose 3-2 against Turkey.
Outside the match at the Los Angeles Stadium in Inglewood, 35-year-old physical therapist Ian Bjerke wore overalls adorned with the Stars and Stripes.
"That just shows my commitment to this team," he joked of his sartorial choice.

Last night might have been one of the most entertaining at the 2026 World Cup yet.
Mexico were out to end the group stage with a 100% from their three matches in Group A, while Haiti wanted end their first tournament in 52 years in style by giving Morocco a real run for their money.

Jimmy Kimmel mocked President Donald Trump for throwing a "hissy fit" when NBC's Kristen Welker demanded evidence for his California election fraud "nonsense" – showing an AI-generated recreation of a diaper-clad president storming off set.
During Sunday's Meet the Press interview, recorded Friday in Wisconsin, Welker pressed Trump on his allegations that California's recent elections and the 2020 presidential contest were tainted by fraud.
When Welker asked Trump to provide evidence for his claims, the interview quickly deteriorated, and the president accused both the journalist and her network of being "crooked" before walking off.
The moment became a key gag during Kimmel's Monday night monologue as he poked fun at the president's behavior, rolling the clip of Welker challenging Trump to back up his claims that the Los Angeles mayoral election was "crooked."
"You're either crooked or you're stupid," Trump raged, before the clip cut to booing from inside the Jimmy Kimmel Live! studio.
