Woods, 49, and Vanessa, 47, had been linked together in recent weeks. The rumors started gaining traction after Woods attended the Genesis Open in San Diego with President Donald Trump’s granddaughter, Kai Trump in February. Trump’s granddaughter Kai is an avid golfer, playing for the Benjamin School in Jupiter, before she moves on to the University of Miami where she will play collegiate golf.

Since then, Vanessa and Kai were seen at Woods’ TGL event in Florida as well. Woods’ children, Charlie and Sam, attend the Benjamin School in Palm Beach, Florida alongside Kai.

Vanessa’s new relationship also got the stamp of approval from former sister-in-law Ivanka Trump, who commented on Woods’ post, writing, “So happy for you both! 🥰🥰.”

In a heartbreaking Instagram story on Sunday, Joy shared that after having a miscarriage earlier this year, she “quickly and very unexpectedly” found out she was pregnant again. But she told followers that “this past week I miscarried again.”

“I underwent a D&C this time which was harder than I imagined,” Joy wrote. “It’s going to take some time for me to feel like myself again and honestly I may never will but I hope to keep y’all involved in whatever that may look like.”

According to the Cleveland Clinic, a dilation and curettage, or D&C, is a procedure to remove tissue from the uterus, which may be done after a miscarriage.

The case, which chronicles just one of a string of accusations made against the celebrated actor, places Depardieu at the heart of France’s broader reckoning over sexual violence.

A towering figure of French cinema, Depardieu, 76, has faced a growing number of sexual assault allegations in recent years. The claims, which come from over 10 women who have worked with the actor in various capacities in the past, date back to the early 2000s and allege a pattern of abuse and misbehavior.

Depardieu has consistently denied any wrongdoing and Monday’s trial represents the first case that has made it to the courtroom.

The “Hunger Games” and “Pitch Perfect” actress and director actually missed work for the first time in her career when the vaccine-preventable illness didn’t clear up quick enough. Shingles is an infection caused by the same virus that leads to chickenpox, the varicella zoster virus, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; the most common symptom is a painful, itchy rash. It rattled the 51-year-old.

“That was a huge wake up call, because I take a lot of pride in staying healthy while I’m working,” she says over a phone call. She got the shingles vaccine after, which is recommended for adults 50 years and older.

That also inspired her to stay up-to-date on other vaccinations, including the pneumococcal pneumonia vaccine, which was recently recommended for adults as young as 50 instead of 65 and older. She’s partnering with Pfizer to get the word out that, compared to 18 to 49-year-olds, those 50 or older have a more than six-times greater risk of contracting pneumococcal pneumonia.

The play, which opened March 23 at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre, is a formidable showcase for Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal, even if the uninspired production around them leaves much to be desired.

The first Broadway revival of William Shakespeare’s tragedy in more than four decades, “Othello” follows a venerated Marine Corps general (Washington) who is driven to jealousy and rage by his conniving junior officer, Iago (Gyllenhaal). Incensed when he is passed over for a promotion, Iago sets out to poison Othello against his virtuous young wife, Desdemona (Molly Osborne), claiming she is having an affair with the handsome lieutenant Cassio (Andrew Burnap).

The cast is uniformly excellent. Osborne painfully conveys Desdemona’s distress and confusion over her husband’s unfounded accusations, while it’s impossible to take your eyes off the tremendous Burnap, who brings pathos and magnetism to the caddish Cassio. Kimber Elayne Sprawl also wows as Iago’s defiant wife Emilia, who becomes increasingly jaded over the ways in which women are oppressed and degraded.

What I Learned from Today’s Puzzle

• ACTS (5A: Performs in “Oh, Mary!”) The answer here was inferable, but the play Oh, Mary! is new to me. Oh, Mary! premiered off-Broadway and has been on Broadway since July of last year. The play is a comedic spoof of the lives of Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd Lincoln. According to the show’s website, “Oh, Mary! is a dark comedy about a miserable, suffocated Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to Abraham Lincoln’s assassination.” The play was written by Cole Escola, who also originated the role of Mary.
• JANE’S (55A: ___ Addiction (rock band)) The rock band Jane’s Addiction formed in 1985 in Los Angeles, California. It currently consists of Eric Avery, Dave Navarro, and Stephen Perkins. The band was named in honor of Jane Bainter, who was a housemate of one of the founding members. Fun fact: The band’s first farewell tour (guess it didn’t stick…) in 1991 launched Lollapalooza, a music festival that now takes place in Chicago.

South Carolina college student Freddie McClendon, 19, auditioned with the original song “You Never Loved Him,” about his father’s murder. He said he came to “Idol” to show the world that dad Davis McClendon “was something so much bigger than just the true-crime story of the week.”

“He was our dad; he meant the world to us,” Freddie told the judges about dad Davis, a Greenwood, South Carolina-based marketing director at an assisted living facility and retirement community who was killed at age 46 in May 2023.

The estranged husband of Davis’ girlfriend, Meredith Haynie, struck and killed Davis with his Ford F-250 pickup truck before fleeing the scene. In an October trial, after 22 minutes of deliberation, a jury reportedly found “Bud” Ackerman Jr. guilty and a judge sentenced him to 45 years in jail for McClendon’s murder.

The hit-and-run killing was covered by “48 Hours” earlier this month.

Though he’d been songwriting since he was a high school freshman, it became more than a hobby after his dad’s death; it was a way for him to voice his emotions. In “You Never Loved Him,” Freddie grieves how his family “never got to tell him goodbye” and seems to allude to residual anger he feels about his untimely loss.

In a post to Instagram Sunday, the group released a joint statement hinting at a troubled split with drummer Jeff Arevalo. 

“We have been made aware of behavior in Jeff’s personal life that does not align with the band’s core values,” the statement reads. “As a result, Jeff will no longer be a part of the Goose organization.”

Once a five-man collective fusing psychedelic and funk sounds, the band will now play as a foursome. 

“This is an incredibly unfortunate, unexpected situation, and we did not anticipate having to make another painful change to the band,” the statement continued. Arevalo first stepped back from his role in the band at the start of the year, releasing a statement in February that implied a more temporary hiatus for his own “well-being.”
