Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady, a beloved power couple, recently went their separate ways, leaving fans saddened. But it seems that both Gisele and Tom are ready to start anew. So, who is the man who has captured Gisele’s heart? Let’s find out!

After 13 years of marriage and raising two children, NFL pro Tom Brady and supermodel Gisele Bündchen decided to part ways in 2022. Their love story began in January 2007, leading to their wedding on February 26, 2009. Together, they have two children – 14-year-old Benjamin and 11-year-old Vivian. Tom Brady also has a 16-year-old son, Jack, from a previous relationship. Rumors suggest that Gisele is now dating Joaquim Valente, a jiu-jitsu instructor who was initially just a friend. But their connection quickly blossomed into something more. According to sources, Gisele and Joaquim have been seeing each other romantically. Joaquim Valente has been a rock for Gisele during this new chapter of her life post-divorce. What makes their relationship special is the strong foundation of friendship that they had before getting involved romantically. “He has been there for her as she transitions through this new phase of life post-divorce, and it’s been a really nice change for her,” reveals a source. Gisele and Valente share many common interests, particularly their passion for wellness. This shared love for staying active, traveling, and taking care of their well-being has deepened their bond. “They connect on a deep level and have a lot of fun together,” shares the source.

While Gisele didn’t directly confirm the romantic rumors, she did speak about the importance of Valente’s presence in her life. In a March 2023 interview with People magazine, Gisele expressed her gratitude for Valente, highlighting his role as a martial arts instructor for her and her children.

In May of the same year, Gisele and Valente were spotted enjoying quality time together on a Miami beach. The pair seemed genuinely happy and in sync with each other’s company.

 James Darren, best known as the heartthrob Moondoggie in the Gidget movies, has died peacefully at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles on Monday at the age of 88.

According to the actor’s son, Jim Moret, his father suffered of a heart related illness.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Moret said that his father was to undergo an aortic valve replacement, but doctors said he was too week for the surgery. Despite that, the family believed he would pull through, but sadly, that didn’t happen.

He was discharged from the hospital, but was then taken in back after his health deteriorated further.

“I always thought he would pull through,” Moret told reporters. “Because he was so cool. He was always cool.”

Darren’s acting and singing career was a rich one. Among the rest, he starred in 66 episodes of T.J. Hooker in the role of police officer Jim Corrigan. Before that, he starred in The Guns of Navarone and the ABC sci-fi series The Time Tunnel. He was also a regular guest star in shows such as The Love Boat and Fantasy Island.

However, he is probably best remembered from his role in Moondoggie, the dark-haired surfer boy in Gidget.

In the 1990s, he had a recurring gig on Deep Space Nine as the holographic lounge singer Vic Fontaine.

Darren was the voice behind the Gidget theme song and one his songs, Goodbye Cruel World, climbed the charts in 1961.

We are deeply saddened by James Darren’s passing. May he rest in peace.

 Sarah Palin was a name you simply couldn’t avoid if you tuned into the news during John McCain’s presidential campaign in 2008.

The former Governor of Alaska was plucked from obscurity to be McCain’s running mate, and despite losing to Barack Obama, Palin was described as a “force of nature” in Republican politics.

Although Palin, 58, is still politically involved in the Republican party, headlines in recent years have been centered more around her private life.

In 2020, after three decades of marriage, Palin announced that she and her husband were divorcing. Details of the breakup were quite shocking, but now the former Republican vice presidential nominee has shed more light on her high-profile split.

Sarah Palin and Todd

Sarah Palin was born in Sandpoint, Idaho, in 1964, but moved to Alaska with her family when she was only a couple of months old. She grew up in the small town of Wasilla, about 40 miles north of Anchorage.

As a basketball star at Wasilla High School, Palin was a natural-born leader, and became a famous face in the corridors.

“I know this sounds hokey, but basketball was a life-changing experience for me. It’s all about setting a goal, about discipline, teamwork, and then success,” she once said.

Sarah would also meet her future husband, Todd Palin, in high school, at a basketball game. In August 1988, she eloped with her high school sweetheart as they slipped away to the local courthouse.

There, though, Sarah and Todd learned that they had to have witnesses. After convincing two people from the pioneers’ home across the street, the young lovebirds could finally tie the knot.

According to Sarah, they eloped because both she and her boyfriend were poor at the time. They didn’t want their parents to pay the bill for a wedding, the ex-Alaska governor told Anchorage Daily News in 2008.

Palin has five children together with Todd; Track Charles James (1989), Bristol Sheeran Marie (1990), Willow Bianca Faye (born 1994), Piper Indy Grace (2001), Trig Paxson Van (2008), who suffers from Downs Syndrome.

Palin’s great interest in sports is reflected in her children’s names; Her daughter Willow is named after the legendary female sports journalist, Willow Bay, who covered the NBA. Bristol, her eldest daughter, is named after the town where ESPN is based.

Palin, who has been a registered Republican since 1982, worked as a journalist and helped run Todd’s family’s commercial fishing business before she entered politics in 1992.

With her folksy personality, she charmed many people, and convinced a lot of people to vote for her. In 2006, she made the history books as the first woman and youngest governor of Alaska.

She always had great support from her husband, who liked to call himself the “First Dude” while Sarah was governor. But, according to friends of the family, Todd wasn’t interested in bragging about his wife and her administration.

“He was almost embarrassed about it or shy, I guess,”, Scott Davis, one of Todd’s closest friends, told New York Times.

He added: “It never changed him one iota. It took him a little while to adjust to the attention.”

Tom, who is part Yup’ik Eskimo, has always had a lot on his plate. He worked in oil production and was a member of Alaska’s Independence Party from 1995 to 2002. He is also a four-time champion of the world’s longest snowmobile race, called “Iron Dog.”

The Palin family lived in a two-story, 3,450-square-foot dwelling house just opposite Lake Lucille, Wasilla. Over the years, Sarah and Todd’s marriage was considered a model union. When John McCain picked Sarah as his running mate in 2008, Todd was very visible, but he also took a greater role in caring for their children.

The little-known Alaska governor depicted herself as “just your average hockey mom.” But just like every mother, Palin had things to worry about when it came to her and Todd’s children.

Just three days into the Republican presidential campaign, Sarah revealed that her unmarried 17-year-old daughter, Bristol, was five months pregnant.

It shook the Palin family, a very Christian household, to the core.

According to the child’s father, Levi Johnston, Sarah was desperate to keep Bristol’s pregnancy a secret. She even wanted to adopt the baby.

“Sarah told me she had a great idea: we would keep it a secret – nobody would know that Bristol was pregnant,” he told Vanity Fair magazine in 2009.

After the news broke, Sarah and Todd released a statement declaring that they were ”proud of Bristol’s decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents.”

Bristol is now 31, a mother of three and she runs a real estate company in Texas – so she has definitely succeeded in life.

Divorce via an email

In the eyes of many, Sarah Palin and Todd lived together in harmony and shared good, Christian values. Sure, they had gone through a lot and faced media storms and family-related hardships – but three decades of marriage is a sign of strength and love.

But just a few days following their 31st wedding anniversary in 2019, Sarah claims that she got a divorce notice from her husband via email.

After all those years together, finding out through a third party left the mother of five and grandmother of seven heartbroken.

Sarah said she felt like she “got shot.”

“I found out from an email from an attorney saying that she was hired and that was on June 19; I’ll never forget it… Oh, yeah. It’s not easy to talk about,” she said in an interview with Christian author James Dobson.

For a woman who considered her marriage one of the most important things in her life, it was devastating news.

“I’m sure so many of you either maybe you’ve been through it or you have people whom you love, you’ve witnessed how horrible it is. But I just think, wow, maybe except for the death of a child, I don’t know what could be more … Yeah, it hurts,” the ex-Alaska governor shared.

In September 2019, Todd filed for divorce citing “incompatibility of temperament between the parties such that they find it impossible to live together as husband and wife” as his reasons.

Despite this, Sarah was not ready to give up on her marriage. She wanted to fight, and did everything to repair the cracks.

“We’re going through counseling now, so it’s not over, over,” Sarah told James Dobson in November 2019.

“Attorneys are getting rich off of us and I don’t like that whole system. It makes no sense to me.”

Sarah also had support from her children during this difficult time.

“My kids are cool because they don’t like it and that that helps me. It helps me. They’re not ones to say, “Oh, it takes two to tango.” No, they’re mad because they have been brought up with that teaching that you have made a covenant with God,” she said.

“My parents, they’ve been married for 58 years … everybody’s kind of traditional family sticks together through thick and thin because you made a vow to God that through thick and thin, good and bad, you’re going to make that choice to … jump whatever hurdles are in front of you and you’re going to make it.”

Divorce rumors and scandals had swirled around Sarah and Todd for years, but this time it was the real deal. Their divorce was finalized on March 23, 2020.

Sarah Palin boyfriend

Since then, Sarah’s kept a low profile, and didn’t openly comment on her breakup. But in April 2022, she finally bared all regarding her new love and the pain of divorce.

Speaking with the New York Post, Sarah said that the shock and the scars from the split are still evident, as we can all imagine.

“It was the most earth-shattering, bizarre thing I could have ever imagined and it kind of remains so,” she said.

Today, the former spouses have minimal contact. Sometimes they talk, but it’s only because they share custody of Trig, their youngest son.

According to Sarah, her ex-husband now has a new partner who lives in New York City.

“He spends his time with his girlfriend whom he’s had for some time now …,” she said.

“She lives down in the lower 48, so he spends a lot of time down in the lower 48.”

Sarah has also found love again; she’s currently dating former New York Rangers star Ron Duguay. The couple were seen dining outdoors in January 2022, before confirming their romance one month later.

Duuay was a longtime friend of Palin’s, and they fell in love when Sarah asked him if he could show her New York City. In the interview with New York Post, she describes their relationship as “safe and comfortable.”

“Ron is the first person that I’ve ever even talked to about a lot of this personal stuff. So it’s been helpful and refreshing to have Ron to talk to about not just politics, because he’s got more common sense in his little finger than the collective in DC, but just about life,” Sarah explained.

Palin, who is now running for Alaska’s at-large congressional seat, has strong support from her new boyfriend. Duguay has helped her in Alaska and worked alongside side his new love with her campaign.

Going through a public divorce is never easy, especially when children are involved.

But we hope that Sarah can find new energy and live a happy life with her new partner!

Sarah’s 18th birthday was a day she’ll never forget, not just because it marked her official transition into adulthood, but because it was the day she planned to reveal a surprise for her stepmom that she hoped would change her world in a way she never saw coming.

Have you ever felt like life is one long, unscripted drama, where every scene held the potential to either break you or forge you into something stronger?

My life’s been a bit like that.

Navigating through the choppy waters of loss and new beginnings, I found myself at the helm of a decision that could either be the most heartwarming episode or a plot twist gone wrong.

My name is Sarah and this is the story of how my entry into adulthood became unforgettable for the most surprising reason:

After my mom passed away when I was just 11, life felt like an endless storm. My dad, lost in his own sea of grief, found a beacon of hope in a new woman and eventually remarried.

That’s how my stepmom came into my life, and she would become much more than just a new face in the house. She became a great source of stability for me, always offering love and support when I needed it.

My stepmom never tried to take my mom’s place, but she filled our home with a light I thought we’d lost forever. “I’m here for you, always,” she’d tell me, her words a soothing balm for my aching heart.

But life had another curveball waiting. When we lost my dad, the silence in our home was deafening. I remember us sitting in the dimly lit living room, the air heavy with fear and uncertainty.

“I can’t imagine how hard this is for you,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper. “But I want you to know, I’m here for you. We’re family, no matter what.”

Her words were a lifeline in my sea of despair. “But everyone’s saying you’ll leave… go back to your family,” I mumbled, struggling to hold back tears. “Will I…will I go to an orphanage?”

“No, sweetie. You’re not going anywhere and neither am I. Look at me,” she said, her hand finding mine in the darkness. She then cupped my face, planting a tender kiss on my forehead. “We’ll get through this together.”

And she was right. Despite the whispers and sideways glances from others, she stayed, proving that the bonds of the family we choose are as strong as those I was born into.

On the morning of my 18th birthday, the air was thick with anticipation, not just for the usual celebrations but for a surprise I had been planning for years.

My stepmom greeted me with her warm, comforting smile, the kind that had often brightened my mood since the day she stepped into our lives.

“Happy birthday, sweetheart,” she said, handing me a small, beautifully wrapped box. Her eyes sparkled with the love and care that had become her trademark.

“Thank you,” I replied, my heart swelling with gratitude for this woman who had chosen to stand by me through everything. “I have a surprise for you too, but… you’ll need to pack your things.”

The look of confusion on her face was immediate. “Pack my things?” she echoed, the joy of the moment fading into uncertainty. “Are you… Are you serious?”

“Yes,” I said, my voice steady despite the turmoil inside. “I want you to pack your things in the next hour. You’re leaving this house.”

Her laughter, light and disbelieving at first, died down as she saw the seriousness in my eyes. “But why, dear? I thought we were a family…” Her voice trailed off, a hint of despair creeping in.

“It’s time,” I began, the weight of the moment pressing down on me. “I’ve been planning this since the day Dad died. You are going to another city.”

In a moment that felt more like a scene from a movie, I loaded her sparse belongings into the car and drove her to a new destination, all while she sat beside me in a silence that was heavy with confusion and sorrow.

The drive was a long and silent one, filled with unspoken questions and a tension. I was the first to talk.

“You didn’t know that my father opened an account in my name when I was a child, where he saved money for my education. Since his death, I’ve also put all my money, from my part-time jobs and gifts, into this account. Now, there’s a large sum.”

My stepmom turned to me, a mix of pain and understanding in her eyes. “I understand. You’re an adult now, you have money and you don’t need me anymore. But why are you sending me so far away? You don’t want to see me at all?”

As we pulled up in front of a quaint, beautiful house, the surprise I had been harboring was finally ready to be unveiled.

“I will be spending some of this money on education,” I continued, pointing to the house. “At an Ivy League university in the city, we’re in now, where I have already been accepted. Do you see this house?”

“Yes,” she whispered, her voice laden with confusion and a trace of hope.

“I bought this house for you,” I revealed, the tension finally breaking. “There was enough money for everything. Now I will study here and you will live next door. We won’t have to be apart, and if you want, you can go back to our old house at any time, or we can return together after I finish my studies.”

The tears came then, unbidden and free, marking the moment with an emotional intensity that words could hardly capture. We hugged, our tears mingling, a testament to the depth of our bond and the love that had grown between us over the years.

“I love you, Sarah,” said my stepmom, her voice barely a whisper but still audible.

“I love you, too,” I replied, reaching for the house keys in my bag and placing them in my stepmom’s hand.

It was a birthday unlike any other, marked not just by the receiving of gifts, but by the giving of a future, a home, and a promise of continued family, no matter what life might bring.

This was our story, a stepdaughter and her stepmom, navigating the complexities of life together, proving that love, indeed, knows no bounds.

Do you think my surprise was a good one?

  Hurricane  Helene, the deadliest mainland storm since Katrina in 2005, has claimed the lives of 200 people as rescuers continue their search for survivors. The deaths have been reported in South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee.

The number of people missing is counted in hundreds, and the number of homes left without electricity is nearly a million. Unfortunately, rescue teams face challenges as many roads rendered impassable by the storm’s destruction.

North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper highlighted the severity of the situation, saying that the rugged landscape has made it difficult for many communities to receive any assistance.

Among those who lost their lives is 7-year-old Micah Drye of Asheville, North Carolina. He and his grandparents were swept away by floodwaters after seeking refuge on a rooftop. The boy’s mother, Meghan, survived.

The news of Micah’s death was disclosed by his aunt, Jessica Drye Turner, who also shared the boy’s final words, “Jesus! Please help me!” 

The heartbroken aunt expressed her grief and pain over the loss of her sister’s son. “New grief and strong faith. New motto.”

The boy’s lifeless body was located about a quarter mile from where his mother had been rescued.

Meghan’s other sister, Heather Kephart, started a GoFundMe page to help Meghan after the devastating loss of her son, her parents, and all her belongings, including her home.

The fundraising page included a photo of sweet Micah, taken by his grandmother mere days before the tragedy. He could be seen wearing a Jurassic World T-shirt and smiling.

This family’s huge loss is just one of many caused by the devastating storm.

We pray for everyone affected by the storm.
