Teyana Taylor, celebrated for her Golden Globe achievements, draws parallels between her parenting journey and that of Hannah Montana. Juggling the dual roles of a star and a nurturing mom, she proudly watches her daughters, Junie and Rue, gracefully handle the limelight, adeptly separating their public persona from the cherished moments of family life.
Teyana Taylor may not have won a Grammy this time, but she’s definitely winning in life. The Golden Globe winner is now providing an honest and endearing look at how she strikes that balance in her life as a mother.
Teyana Taylor feels like being a mother is like being Hannah Montana
In an interview with PEOPLE at the TIME Women of the Year Gala, Taylor discussed raising 5-year-old Rue Rose Shumpert and 10-year-old Iman “Junie” Tayla Shumpert Jr, whom she shares with her ex-husband Iman Shumpert. “I think because when I am home and when we are together, I’m in such mommy mode that it’s almost like Hannah Montana,” Taylor remarked, alluding to the Disney series of the same name starring Miley Cyrus.
Taylor Teyana feels she lives two different lives
The ‘One Battle After Another’ actress makes a clear distinction between her life as a mother and her life as a celebrity, much like Hannah Montana lived a secret double life as regular schoolgirl Miley Stewart by day and pop superstar by night. “They understand it,” Taylor remarked about her children. “I live two different lives where it’s like, ‘OK, here’s carpet, mommy. But then here is mommy, when she’s home, we’re going to the trampoline park, we’re cooking, we’re playing, we’re drawing.’ So, they understand balance.”
Teyana Taylor’s life with her girls
Taylor finds that her girls’ graceful and grounded acceptance of the world of celebrity is more encouraging than her own experience during awards season. She also mentioned her daughter Junie, calling her a “leader” and a “little celebrity.” “She doesn’t walk in saying, ‘My mum needs this,’ or ‘I’m this.’ I love that balance,” Taylor said. “However, Junie and Rue are seen posing and serving on a red carpet. So, I just think it’s amazing to see how they navigate balance. It’s really inspiring. As a parent, it simply makes me proud,” she added. The girls have already showcased that they thrive in the limelight. Alongside her mother, 5-year-old Rue Rose stole the show at the 32nd Annual Actor Awards. She posed for photos and even fixed the train on Taylor’s gown.
When comparing the two winning teams, captain Suryakumar Yadav stated that the 2024 class had `experienced enthusiasm` to strive for a drought-ending ICC trophy, while the “fiery passion of youth” drove India`s unprecedented championship defence of the T20 World Cup this year.
Speaking to PTI, Suryakumar discussed the minor differences between the two trophy-winning teams. He was a member of Rohit Sharma`s team in 2024, which also featured the formidable presence of Ravindra Jadeja and Virat Kohli.
After the victory in Barbados, the three mainstays withdrew from the shortest format, giving the reins to captain Suryakumar, who elevated India`s T20 game. When asked about the difference between the World Cup-winning teams, Suryakumar Yadav could not find much.
“There was just an `unnis bess ka farak` (minor difference) between the two teams. Woh experience wala josh tha, Idhar ekdum khoon garam tha ladkon ka (That was experienced enthusiasm (in 2024), this was fiery passion),” Suryakumar Yadav said.
Suryakumar talks about the pressure of playing at a home World Cup
Suryakumar Yadav and his team had to deal with the pressure of playing a home World Cup. The Indian skipper, having experienced it in 2023, shared the wisdom of playing a World Cup at home with his team.
“This year, I can say that we had less experience but more enthusiasm. All the guys are 25 to 27 years old. It was necessary to explain to them how it feels to win a World Cup in India, when people will cheer so much for you, 50,000 people, a lakh people, in the stadium.
The expectation of the people pushed Suryakumar Yadav and his team forward as they went on to banish the demons of Ahmedabad from the past to record a historic win against New Zealand in the final.
“We wanted to win the World Cup in India, and we wanted to win it in the same stadium in Ahmedabad, which was more important for us,” Suryakumar added.
With the win in Ahmedabad, India became the first team ever to win three T20 World Cups and successfully defend their T20 World Cup crown.
The on-and-off exchange of airstrikes and threats between Pakistan and Afghanistan, a conflict going on for years, has once again reignited. Over 400 people were reportedly killed as Islamabad launched overnight air strikes, targeting the Afghan Taliban positions in Kabul and Nangarhar.

While the conflict between Pakistan and Afghanistan dates back to the British era, tensions escalated in 2021 after the Taliban’s return to power in Kabul.
From being each other’s closest friends for decades to now, accusing each other of cross-border militancy and terrorism, the two South Asian countries have been leaving behind a trail of conflicts.
Here’s a timeline of the Pakistan-Afghanistan conflict:
-The Beginning at British Raj
The conflict between Pakistan and Afghanistan dates back to the British Raj in India, even before the creation of Pakistan. The main focal point of their tiff is the Durand Line, the international border between the two nations.
The Durand Line was established in 1893 to define the border between the Emirate of Afghanistan and the British India Empire. This border arrangement was later inherited by Pakistan in 1947, following its partition with India.
The Durand Line is considered one of the most dangerous borders in the world, demarcating Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan in Pakistan, over which Afghanistan claims territorial sovereignty. The line also demarcates the disputed region of Gilgit-Baltistan, which is claimed by Pakistan, Afghanistan and India.

Tensions between the two neighbouring countries also increased after Afghanistan became the only nation to vote against Pakistan’s admission to the United Nations.
Pakistani and Afghan forces have clashed across the border for decades, with tensions taking their deadliest form ever since the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan in 2021.
2021-2022: Tensions before, and after, Taliban takeover
Tensions were on the rise even before the Taliban entirely took over Afghanistan in August 2021. The Taliban had begun capturing parts of Afghanistan months before its official takeover.
Pakistan was forced to deploy its army personnel at forward positions along the Afghan border as Taliban forces pushed to capture the majority of the country.
The then-Afghanistan government was in a heated position with that of Pakistan, as the Taliban had seized control of the Spin Boldak border crossing. Islamabad had disapproved of Kabul’s proposal to attack Taliban positions from the Pakistani side of the border.

Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) director-general Babar Iftikhar, at the time, had said that Pakistan was a facilitator of the Afghan peace process, not a guarantor. He had told ARY News that Islamabad tried to move forward with the Afghan peace process with “sincerity”.
After the Taliban takeover in August, tensions once again arose between the two nations in December, as Pakistan said that its soldiers were stopped from installing a security fence in Nangarhar.
In February 2022, clashes between Pakistani and Afghan forces were reported at the Wesh-Chaman border crossing along the contested Durand Line.
2023: Border clashes, firings
In February, clashes between Pakistan and Afghanistan were reported in the Torkham border crossing, prompting the closure of the key border transit point.
A Taliban-appointed commissioner at Torkham, Mullah Mohammad Siddiq, had said that Pakistan was not abiding by its “commitments”, which is why the border crossing point was “shut down”, the Associated Press had reported.
In July again, Pakistan forces shelled Afghanistan’s Paktika province, days after Islamabad and Army Chief General Asim Munir threatened Kabul over terrorist attacks by Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). Following this, the Taliban forces also retaliated, once again triggering border clashes between the two neighbours.

Then again, the Torkham border crossing became a contentious point for the two nations, as Pakistani and Taliban forces clashed at the crossing. This prompted the closure of the main land crossing for nearly ten days.
As the border crossing reopened after ten days, a security official in Torkham reportedly said talks between the two sides had resolved the issue that sparked the clashes.
Pakistan gave its account of the clashes at Torkham, saying that the Taliban administration had tried to encroach on its territory with the construction of an “unlawful structure” and cited “indiscriminate firing” by Afghan forces, Reuters reported.
Meanwhile, the Taliban foreign ministry accused Pakistani forces of firing on its border guards as they fixed an old security outpost.
In October and November, tensions heated up again. The Pakistani government had ordered undocumented foreigners to leave the country, warning them of expulsion otherwise. Most of the undocumented foreigners rounded up by Islamabad just before the government’s deadline for exiting the country were Afghans.
Pakistan refused calls from the UN, rights groups and Western embassies to reconsider its decision, reasoning that Afghans had been involved in Islamist militant attacks and in crime that undermined Pakistan’s security, Reuters had reported at the time.
2024: Durand Line in focus again; airstrikes, border fights
Pakistan launched airstrikes inside Afghanistan in March, leaving several people dead. Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid reportedly said Pakistan struck “civilian homes” in Khost and Paktika provinces.
Afghanistan’s defence ministry spokesman had said that the country’s border forces retaliated, targeting Pakistan’s military posts along the disputed border.
In September, the Pakistani and Afghan forces clashed once again near the Durand Line, as the Afghan Taliban reportedly tried to build a checkpost.
A fresh round of skirmishes between the two nations at the southwestern border was reported in October. The clash had begun at the Nushki border, which connects southwestern Balochistan province with Afghanistan, during the repair of the border fence by Pakistani border forces, according to Anadolu Ajansi.
Later in December, deadly clashes erupted, with Pakistan targeting multiple suspected hideouts of the Pakistani Taliban inside Afghanistan, destroying a training facility.
The Taliban ministry had vowed to retaliate against the airstrike, stating that defending their land and sovereignty is their legitimate right.
2025: Deadly clashes in the name of ‘retaliation’
Pakistan and Afghanistan engaged in hostilities in March, with intense gunfire from both sides.
In October, Afghanistan launched attacks on Pakistani soldiers along their shared border, saying that it was in “retaliation for air strikes carried out by the Pakistani army on Kabul” on the night of October 7.
Afghanistan claimed that its strikes left 58 Pakistani soldiers dead, while Islamabad contested and stated the toll to be 23. Pakistan said that it killed over 200 Taliban and affiliated troops in counter fire.
Days later, fresh clashes erupted along the Pak-Afghan border, with dozens of troops and civilians being killed.

Pakistan reportedly launched airstrikes in Afghanistan’s capital, Kabul, as well as the Kandahar province. The Pakistani military said two assaults by the Afghan Taliban on major border posts in the southwest and northwest were repelled, with around 20 Taliban fighters killed in attacks launched near Spin Boldak on the Afghan side, AFP reported.
Afghan officials had reportedly said that 15 civilians were killed and dozens were injured in the fresh violence on the border.
Taliban government spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid accused Pakistani forces of “once again” carrying out attacks “with light and heavy weapons” in the district.
Later, on October 16, the two countries agreed to a 48-hour ceasefire, which both claimed was requested by the other side. This brought a temporary halt to the growing hostilities between the two nations along the Durand Line.
Just two days after the agreed ceasefire, Kabul claimed that Pakistan carried out late-night airstrikes in its border province of Paktika.
However, the hostilities ended soon after, as the two sides agreed to an immediate ceasefire the very next day amid negotiations in Doha.
2026: Pak’s Operation ‘Ghazab lil Haq’, Afghan’s retaliation
This year is no different. On February 22, Pakistan reportedly launched airstrikes in Afghanistan, targeting what it described as ‘militant hideouts’. Afghanistan vowed retaliation, saying that civilians were killed in these strikes.
The Pakistani airstrikes struck Nangarhar province’s Khogyani, Ghani Khel and Behsud, as well as Barmal and Urgun districts in Paktika, according to Afghan broadcaster Tolo News.
In the early hours of February 27, Pakistan launched a major military offensive under ‘Operation Ghazab lil Haq’ against Afghanistan, saying that the move came after “unprovoked firing” from across the border.
A day before the strikes, Pakistani security sources reportedly said they had “irrefutable evidence” that militants in Afghanistan were behind a recent wave of attacks and suicide bombings, which targeted Pakistani military and police, Reuters reported.

Pakistan bombed major cities in Afghanistan, including the capital Kabul. Islamabad’s defence minister Khwaja Asif declared that the two nations were at an “open war”. He said that Pakistani forces were delivering a strong response to the aggression from the Afghan Taliban.
Asif said that Pakistan had made every effort to maintain normalisation, both directly and through friendly nations. He said that Islamabad’s previous role had been “positive”, highlighting the country’s hosting of Afghan refugees. However, he said, “Our patience has run out. Now there is an open war.”
Though the hostilities later ceased for a short while to a greater extent, Pakistan, on March 16, launched overnight strikes, targeting Taliban positions in Kabul and Nangarhar, in continuation of its Operation Ghazab lil Haq.
The latest airstrikes also targeted the technical equipment storage and ammunition storage of the Afghan Taliban and Fitna al-Khawarij in Kabul and Nangarhar that were being used against innocent Pakistani civilians.
“Post strike detonation of stored ammunition being used by Master Terror Proxy also fully contradicts the fake claim,” the Pakistani ministry of information and broadcasting was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.
Islamabad also dismissed the Taliban’s statement that Pakistan struck civilians, stating that the country’s targeting is precise and carefully undertaken to ensure no collateral damage occurs.
Afghanistan has claimed that at least 400 people were killed and 250 were injured in the strike on a drug rehabilitation hospital. However, Pakistan rejected the claim and said it “targeted military installations and terrorist support infrastructure”.
What could happen next?
Pakistan is expected to intensify its military operation against Afghanistan, Reuters reported, citing analysts. They added that Kabul could retaliate in the form of raids on border posts and more cross-border ‘guerrilla attacks’ to target security forces.
Pak vs Afghan army
Pakistan’s armed forces reportedly include over 6,00,000 active personnel, with more than 6,000 armoured fighting vehicles and over 400 combat aircraft, according to the 2025 data from the International Institute for Strategic Studies. Notably, Pakistan is also a nuclear-armed country.
Meanwhile, the Taliban has less than a third of Pakistan’s military personnel, with the figure standing at 1,72,000. Kabul possesses at least six aircraft and 23 helicopters. However, their condition is unknown, Reuters reported. It also mentioned that the Taliban does not have fighter jets or an effective air force.
Veteran actor Navnindra Behl died at the age of 76 on March 16. His son and filmmaker Kanu Behl confirmed the news with an emotional post. Now, her Ishqbaaz co-star Nakuul Mehta has also penned an emotional tribute recalling his sweet memories with Navnindra and their bond.
Nakuul Mehta shares cute throwback pictures with Navnindra Behl from Ishqbaaz set and pens emotional tribute for her.
Nakuul Mehta recalls sweet memories with Ishqbaaz co-star Navnindra Behl
On Tuesday, Nakuul took to Instagram and shared some photos with the late veteran actor from their time on Ishqbaaz set and penned a long note recalling their sweet Behind-the-scenes memories. He wrote, “The beauty of long-running television shows is that they sometimes give you the opportunity to spend time with people who may have existed in worlds very different from yours until then..and then, almost magically, they end up shaping a significant part of who you were during those years. And long after the experience ends, some of what they stood for continues to find a home within you.”
Talking about the bond they shared during the shoot of Ishqbaaz, Nakuul wrote, “We spent so many days sharing a set floor and many lunches over the three years we worked together on Ishqbaaaz. I’d often complain about the boring sabzis (read: lauki, karela) she’d bring, and she would continue to insist that we try her food. She didn’t give up. I never gave in. My earliest memory of her was filming my very first scene with her on Ishqbaaaz at around midnight in Turbhe. A solemn moment between the matriarch and her grandson. There was something about her presence that made you feel so present in every scene. She liked rehearsals. So did I. It was a match written in the stars. I say so because in television, rarely do you have the discipline and mostly the time… for multiple rehearsals.”
Nakuul revealed that despite talking up multiple hats of director, writer and producer, Navnindra never brought that heft onto the set and was the lightest co-star to work with. However, he admitted that she did complain about the “crazy schedules of television”. He revealed that he would often drop her back home if they packed up at the same time.
He concluded, “Those drives are some of my fondest memories of her. She’d be excited about writing back to every audience member who messaged her on Instagram (she embraced technology). She was thrilled about collaborating with Vishal Bhardwaj. She spoke so fondly of her husband and their love story, and mostly of her son, Kanu Behl, and the wonderful filmmaker she believed he was. We kept in touch over the years much after the show ended, and @jank_ee and I had the good fortune of celebrating her on her 75th birthday in October 2024. I doubt I ever called her Maam! None of us did. It was always Dadi. We will miss you, Dadi.”
Navnindra’s son and filmmaker Kanu Behl confirmed the sad news on social media on March 16 but didn’t reveal the reason for her death. The actor was 76 when she breathed her last.
About Ishqbaaz
The romantic drama television show featured Nakuul Mehta, Surbhi Chandna, Kunal Jaisingh, Shrenu Parikh, Leenesh Mattoo and Mansi Srivastava. The show aired from 27 June 2016 to 15 March 2019 and was one of the most successful and longest-running shows on StarPlus.
The Middle East crisis continues to boil and the ripples have triggered an operational stress for India’s food services sector. As LPG supply flows are disrupted amid the Strait of Hormuz transit issues, industry voices have warned of layoffs, salary cuts and widespread business impact if the situation drags on.Despite assurances from the government on boosting availability, restaurant owners and caterers have flagged that access to commercial LPG remains inconsistent, leaving many scrambling to keep operations afloat. Several described the situation as unpredictable, with little clarity on when normal supply will resume.
Centre Urges LPG Users To Shift To PNG While Assuring Uninterrupted Fuel Supply Nationwide
Anjan Chatterjee, founder of Speciality Restaurants pointed to the growing distress across the sector. Highlighting the uncertainty of the situation, Chatterjee told ET that people are running from pillar to post. The founder further cautioned that the worst-hit would be workers at the lower end of the chain. “If restaurants and eateries are unable to do business, the first ones to get hit will be people down below.”
Impact on businesses, especially smaller players
Smaller restaurants, street-side eateries, caterers and cloud kitchens are the worst affected, with many already shutting or scaling down. Anjan Chatterjee of Speciality Restaurants described the chaos, saying people are running from pillar to post, and warned, “If restaurants and eateries are unable to do business, the first ones to get hit will be people down below.” He added, “While we hope supplies improve soon, currently, the situation is dynamic and we don’t know how things will pan out. At the ground level, particularly for local and street-side eateries, things are much worse.”Kirit Budhdev of the Federation of All India Caterers flagged worsening delays, “Suppliers are telling us to wait for 15 days. The on-ground situation is very challenging and it’s actually worsening for a lot of our members.”
Financial strain and risk of layoffs
The shortage is hitting profitability, menus and operating hours. Sagar Daryani of the National Restaurant Association of India said, “Smaller players which cannot bear the loss will see job cuts and the bigger players may bear the brunt for a while,” adding that multiple aspects of operations will be impacted.The strain is cascading to workers, especially those at the lower end. Aditya Narayan Mishra of CIEL HR explained, “For instance, if a restaurant has to close shop or run for fewer days in a week, they will not be employing helpers, local delivery boys, etc., who typically get paid Rs 500-700 daily. This segment, which accounts for the largest number of people employed, is already seeing an impact.”In Pune, Ganesh Shetty said, “Our members are still being told by agencies and suppliers that the supply is not for them but for other priority sectors like hospitals. Smaller restaurants have already shut down and they are not operational in Pune.Meanwhile, street food vendors in Madhya Pradesh are facing mounting pressure as a shortage of commercial gas cylinders disrupts operations, particularly for pani puri stalls and similar snack sellers. The impact is clearly visible across key markets such as Kolar, Jawahar Chowk and the BHEL area, where several carts remain closed or operate only during limited peak evening hours. Vendors who once catered to regular crowds are now struggling to secure enough fuel even for basic preparation.
Turning towards alternatives
Cloud kitchens are also under pressure, with FreshMenu’s Rashmi Daga noting, “At a central level, we are trying to move to firewood cooking, bring in induction, electric stoves, etc. But one can’t just move seamlessly to electric equipment given that summer months will also see power cuts.” At the same time in MP, two villages, Bandarkol in Jabalpur district and Baghuwar in neighbouring Narsinghpur, remain largely unaffected, with kitchen stoves continuing to run smoothly. In these villages, residents have turned to biogas instead of LPG cylinders. In Bandarkol, several households have installed small biogas plants that convert cattle dung into cooking fuel. Villagers say the system requires only a few minutes of daily effort while ensuring a steady supply of fuel for use throughout the day.
Uncertainty and outlook
Industry stakeholders say the situation remains volatile, with no clear timeline for recovery. While there has been slight easing compared to earlier days, supply gaps persist, and businesses continue to operate under uncertainty as they brace for prolonged disruption. Chatterjee added that while there is hope for improvement, conditions on the ground remain volatile. “While we hope supplies improve soon, currently, the situation is dynamic and we don’t know how things will pan out. At the ground level, particularly for local and street-side eateries, things are much worse,” he said. Speaking to ET, Rashmi Daga also highlighted the uncertainty ahead, saying, “One can’t even plan for perishables without knowing if gas is available the next day. Right now, the industry is bracing for 40-60 days of pain, but who knows, it could continue for months, too. If this happens, we will have no choice but to send some workers home.” The All Assam Restaurant Association (AARA) has called on the state government to urgently ensure a dedicated supply of commercial LPG cylinders for the hospitality sector, cautioning that continued shortages could force restaurants and hotels across the state to shut down operations entirely. The association has appealed to CM Himanta Biswa Sarma to step in, describing the situation as an “escalating commercial LPG crisis” impacting the restaurant industry in Assam. Members said that eateries across the state are grappling with an abrupt disruption in the supply of commercial LPG cylinders, leaving many struggling to function.

NEW DELHI: India captain Suryakumar Yadav has offered a fascinating insight into what set apart the country’s back-to-back T20 World Cup-winning squads, describing the 2024 side as driven by “experienced enthusiasm” and the 2026 unit as fuelled by the “fiery passion of youth.”Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW!Suryakumar explained that while both teams were equally skilled, the difference lay in their mindset. “There was just an ‘unnis bees ka farak’. Woh experience wala josh tha, idhar ekdum khoon garam tha ladkon ka,” he said in a PTI interview, highlighting how the earlier team leaned on experience, while the latest group thrived on youthful intensity.The 2024 triumph, achieved under Rohit Sharma, featured stalwarts like Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja, whose experience helped India end a long ICC title drought. In contrast, the 2026 squad saw a younger core step up after the senior trio’s retirement from the format.
IPL 2026 should be audition for the next India T20I captain
2024 vs 2026 – Experience vs Youth“In 2024, we had a lot of experience and clearly defined roles. There are good players now as well, but that team had immense experience,” Suryakumar noted, downplaying any direct comparison in terms of superiority between the two sides.Leading a relatively young group in 2026 also meant managing expectations, especially with the tournament being held at home. Suryakumar revealed he had to prepare his players mentally for the magnitude of the occasion. “All the guys are 25 to 27 years old. It was important to tell them what it feels like to win a World Cup in India, with 50,000 or even a lakh people cheering,” he said.Despite the relative inexperience, the captain felt the team’s hunger made the difference. “Skill-wise, there’s only a slight difference in T20 cricket, but this time there was more enthusiasm,” he added.Reflecting on his own journey from a key player in 2024 to captain in 2026, Suryakumar admitted the emotions were heightened. “The goal was the same, but the emotion in 2026 was more because we were playing in India. Winning it in Ahmedabad made it even more special,” he said.
Over the last few weeks, social media has been buzzing with reports of Zendaya and Tom Holland tying the knot in secret. It all started with Zendaya’s stylist, Law Roach, who claimed that the wedding was already over! Amid these speculations, Zendaya arrived on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to promote her upcoming film, The Drama, where she was asked about the ‘headlines’ surrounding these rumours. (Also read: ‘Mrs Holland’: Zendaya can’t stop blushing as fans bring up her wedding to Tom Holland, say ‘that’s a wife’. Watch)

What Zendaya said
Although Zendaya did not confirm whether she and Tom Holland had already gotten married, she said in response, “Really? I haven’t seen any of them (headlines).” She also addressed the fake AI-generated pictures of her wedding that have been circulating on social media.
“Many people have been fooled by them. While I was just out and about in real life, people were like, ‘Oh my God, your wedding photos are gorgeous,’ and I was like, ‘Babe, they’re AI. They’re not real,’” she said.
At the 2026 Actor Awards, Zendaya’s stylist, Law Roach, confirmed the news of their wedding. During a red carpet interview with Access Hollywood, he said, “The wedding has already happened. You missed it.” When asked, “Is that true?” he confirmed, “It’s very true,” with a laugh and walked away. When Zendaya recently attended Paris Fashion Week for the Louis Vuitton show, fans couldn’t help but notice the gold band on her finger.
About Tom and Zendaya’s relationship
Zendaya and Tom starred together in Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) and Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) and will soon be seen in Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Odyssey.
The couple got engaged between Christmas and New Year’s Eve 2024 when Tom popped the question to Zendaya. She was first spotted wearing the 5-carat diamond ring to the 2025 Golden Globes. Tom asked both of Zendaya’s parents, Kazembe Ajamu Coleman and Claire Stoermer, for permission to propose.
Tom’s father, Dominic, later revealed details about the engagement in a Patreon blog post. “Tom, as you know by now, was very incredibly well prepared. He had purchased a ring. He had spoken with her father and gained permission to propose to his daughter,” he wrote in January 2025, confirming the news. Last year, when a reporter referred to Zendaya as his girlfriend, he corrected them and called her his fiancée.
The UEFA Champions League second leg is set for some exciting clashes. European heavyweights will collide at the round of 16 stage, making it thrilling for fans and players alike. Manchester City vs Real Madrid will be the showpiece match of the night. However, Chelsea against PSG could spring a surprise too, as both English sides chase a historic comeback win against all the odds.
English clubs in action in the Champions League
Manchester City vs Real Madrid (Agg: 0-3)
Manchester City has a difficult task ahead of them at the Etihad Stadium. Pep Guardiola has acknowledged that his team must be “perfect” to survive after Real Madrid`s clinical 3-0 thrashing at the Bernabéu last week, which was fuelled by an incredible Federico Valverde hat-trick. The 15-time champions are still strong favourites to go to the quarterfinals, but if Manchester City can find the form of their old self, it could be a thrilling game at the Etihad Stadium. An early goal, especially from Erling Haaland, could help City mount a comeback.
Chelsea vs Paris Saint-Germain (Agg: 2-5)
Another thrilling match takes place at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea tries to overcome a sizable 2-5 deficit against Paris Saint-Germain. Chelsea was competitive for 70 minutes of a thrilling first leg in Paris before collapsing late in the match. PSG, inspired by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, will aim to complete the job and move into the quarter-finals. For Chelsea, Joao Pedro and Cole Palmer will be the key in mounting a comeback.
Arsenal vs Bayer Leverkusen (Agg: 1-1)
Arsenal will start as the firm favourites when they face Bayer Leverkusen in the second-leg of the UEFA Champions League clash. Leverkusen led in the first leg, but Kai Havertz`s late penalty made it 1-1 in the first leg. Arsenal are in great form and should move to the next round without many problems. While Arsenal should be the favourites to move to the next round, Manchester City and Chelsea have a mountain to climb. City needs inspiration as they aim to overturn a 3 goal defiicit against the mighty Real Madrid. Meanwhile, Chelsea are struggling themselves and would need a miracle against the current European Champions if they are to go through.
