A Married at First Sight star has split from his Olympic swimmer fiancée just two years after they welcomed their first child together and announced their engagement. Reality TV star Ryan Gallagher is best known for appearing on MAFS Australia back in 2018, which aired in the UK in 2020.
Ryan announced on Instagram two years ago that he had welcomed a son Sampson with Olympic swimmer girlfriend Emily Seebohm, shortly after the couple became engaged. However, they have now reportedly called it quits after nearly three years together. A source confirmed to Sky News Australia: “Ryan and Emily are trying to find a new normal, which has been a real process. Their number one priority is Sampson and ensuring he continues to feel supported by both parents.

“They haven’t felt the need to make public statements.” The Mirror has reached out to Emily’s representatives for comment.
On MAFS Australia, Ryan and bride Davina Rankin were best friends, but their TV union ended when Davina cheated on Ryan with another man. Ryan left the program as a single.
After the show, Ryan took part on the Australian version of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! where he met co-star Charlotte Crosby. The pair originally clashed on the show, however they soon struck up a romance on the show.

The pair kissed while on the Australian spin-off, however Charlotte cancelled their planned date. She told her campmates: “We can’t be going on a date now. I don’t think I want to.”
Emily, a reality star who won the Olympic swimming team, proposed to Ryan in December 2022. I did get anxious, he claimed in Woman’s Day magazine. In my pocket, the (ring) box was slightly bulging. So either she was aware of my proposal or she simply believed my presence was romantic.

Fans’ unfollowing of the couple’s relationship on social media caused the couple to become upset about it. Even photos of Emily with their baby Sampson were taken out of Ryan’s feed, including those that were posted shortly after his birth.
Emily and Ryan did spent Christmas together as they headed to visit Santa Claus alongside their son. It wasn’t just Ryan who appeared to have hinted at the split.
When Sampson and the Olympian took a day trip to a theme park, the Olympian raised questions. In the snap, glee-eyed admirers noticed she wasn’t wearing her engagement ring.
Continue reading the article.
Fans emailed her with questions like, “Where is Ryan? ” That is accurate, “another added:.” I’m hoping everything is alright. No Ryan and no ring, according to someone else. I’m hoping it’s not significant.
Emily’s ring was missing once more when she shared a sweet clip of her playing with her son last month.

Novak Djokovic’s preparations for Roland Garros will be severely hampered by the 24-time Grand Slam champion’s decision to not compete in the Italian Open next week.
Since 2007, Djokovic has won the event six times, most recently in 2022, and has competed in Rome six times.
However, without any explanation, the tournament’s organizers announced on social media that the Serb would not play in 2025.
Djokovic’s troubled start to the year for the 37-year-old comes after his loss to last week’s opening match of the Madrid Open.
Djokovic, who is one victory away from his 100th ATP title, won his last major award at the Paris 2024 games.
In recent weeks, the world number five has lost early to opponents in Monte Carlo and Madrid’s clay court matches.
Djokovic made hints that this might be his final appearance at the Madrid Open after losing to Matteo Arnaldi in Italy in the previous match.
After losing in Madrid, Djokovic said, “It’s kind of a new reality for me, I must say, trying to win a match or two without really thinking about getting far in the tournament.”
Since he left Rome, he is unlikely to play another competitive game before the French Open, which will begin on May 26.
The occasion coincided with their 14th wedding anniversary by the Prince and Princess of Wales by posting a romantic photo of their trip to the Isle of Mull in Scotland.

The Prince and Princess of Wales looked loved-up in a new photograph shared on the day of their 14th wedding anniversary, having spent the special occasion in the Isle of Mull in Scotland as part of a two-day visit.
The couple, who wore matching checked blazers and chinos, enjoyed the breathtaking scenery as they gathered around one another in a private moment in Tobermory in the new photo. “Wonderful to return to the Isle of Mull. The caption, which used their initials, read “W &, C,” along with “Thank you to everyone for such a warm welcome”.

The sweet picture comes hours after Prince William and Kate arrived on the island where they waved to the crowds who’d gathered to catch a glimpse of the royal couple. With the pair set to spend two-days on the island, they kicked off the trip with a visit to Aros Hall in the coastal town of Tobermory and were greeted by cheers by over 200 tourists and local residents who lined the main street of Tobermory to welcome them.
The Royal Foundation is providing grants to the refurbishment of Aros Hall and a community hall in the southern Mull village of Pennyghael. Interior designer Banjo Beale and other islanders will collaborate to make sure the community-owned centers are in tune with local culture as part of the project.
After receiving a tour of the building, Prince William and Kate, who are officially known by their Scottish titles the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay when in Scotland, headed to the Tobermory Producers Market where they sampled produce and met the makers and creators.

The two-day visit to the Isle of Mull coincides with the pair’s 14th wedding anniversary after they tied the knot in front of around 1,900 guests at Westminster Abbey back in 2011. Since then the Prince and Princess of Wales have become parents to Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and seven-year-old Prince Louis.

With the pair’s wedding anniversary marking the first since Kate revealed she was in remission – with Prince William previously calling 2024 a “brutal” year “from a personal family point of view” – former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond says that the celebration will be even more special.
“That extra bit special must be their first anniversary after Catherine’s official remission.” Every milestone helps them move their lives a little closer to the horrible day of her cancer diagnosis. William’s mother passed away, and she claimed that he knew it would either make or break him, and that he would not allow it to break him.
“I believe they both have handled their situation with the same brutality as they have now experienced. Their union is even more powerful than it was before, and it is already a smashing success. They seem to get along well. a lot . And that’s completely different from loving one another, which they also do, by the way. A lot”.
Jennie continued, “I think theirs is a pretty equal partnership,” describing what contributes to their relationship being so successful. Williams is a father who teaches children much more than his grandfather or father. And Catherine, in my opinion, won’t let him get away with anything less.
They work together as a team, and they are able to communicate with one another with just a look or a gesture. They occasionally appear to be nipping at one another or making them smile.

With a 1-0 win in the opening match of the Champions League against Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain seized control of the match.
In the opening minutes of the match, Dembele scored and Luis Enrique’s side held on to the lead with a composed display that kept Arsenal at bay.
As the first team to win the tournament for the first time, PSG will enter the second leg at the Parc des Princes on May 7th as favorites to face Barcelona or Inter Milan.
Given their long history of epic European collapses, the French champions should not be taken for granted.
Arsenal’s attempt to capture their first Champions League title was dealt a painful blow by their 18 home European defeats.
Arsenal’s semi-final run was described as a “beautiful story,” according to Mikel Arteta.
They aren’t yet dead and buried, so the final chapter might be frustrating to read.
Real Madrid’s champions made their Champions League semifinal appearance with a 5-1 aggregate win, making it their first since 2009’s defeat to Manchester United.
Despite a frantic atmosphere as kick-off approached, they were unable to replicate the swaggering display that gave Madrid a 3-0 lead in the opening game.
Declan Rice pleaded with his team-mates to give everything during a pre-game huddle in the tunnel as he yelled, “If we don’t have the ball, we die.”
Arteta’s video message to fans to raise the roof was a similar rousing song that was played on the Emirates screens.
After coming back from two goals down to defeat Manchester City in the league phase, PSG had already defeated Premier League champions Liverpool in the last 16 and Aston Villa in the quarter-finals.
With a 2-0 defeat in north London in October, Arsenal was the only English team they could not defeat.
However, PSG was unable to use Dembele for disciplinary reasons that day, and Luis Enrique insisted his team were “more complete” after seven months.
On April 29, 2025, the referee at the Emirates Stadium in north London refused to award a penalty to Arsenal’s Brazilian midfielder #11 Gabriel Martinelli (L).

Out-gunned
Dembele’s only four minutes as the France star launched and finished a brutal raid proved his point.
Dembele worked the ball out to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in the center circle before intently shooting at Jurrien Timber.
Dembele had made a successful run into the Arsenal area, but Kvaratskhelia’s perfectly weighted pass sent him in for a clinical finish that struck the far post.
After gaining the lead, PSG went to the end and headed home from the crossbar to the Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya.
When Timber appeared to stop the forward from bursting into the area with his arm around his chest, Kvaratskhelia’s strong penalty appeal was ignored.
After attacking Timber once more, Kvaratskhelia was unaffected, forcing Raya to flee.
Dembele’s clever run and pass to Desire Doue for a low strike that Raya saved at the very end was equally difficult for Arsenal to handle.
Arsenal were outgunned, but Gabriel Martinelli should have equalized just before half-time thanks to Myles Lewis-Skelly’s sublime pass, who saved the ball superbly from Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Two minutes into the second half, when Mikel Merino headed home from Rice’s free kick, Arsenal looked confident that they had already equalized, but VAR forbade their celebrations as a result.
When Rice’s pass caused him to slam into the PSG area for a shot Donnarumma skillfully tipped away, Arteta’s men had the momentum, and Leandro Trossard was just inches away from equalizing.
PSG attempted to stop the sting from the game by moving more slowly in response to the shift in power balance.
Bradley Barcola sauntered through with almost flawless accuracy, but he dragged his shot wide of the far post with only Raya to beat.
Luis Enrique held his head in disbelief following the terrible miss.
Donald Trump’s world view can be challenging to pin down in Washington, DC.
During the first 100 days of his second term, the United States president started a global trade war, targeting allies and foes alike. Additionally, he also signed decrees requiring the US to leave, among other international forums, the Paris Agreement on climate and the World Health Organization.
Trump continued to make contradictory foreign policy proposals, including “owning” Gaza and annexing Greenland, taking over the Panama Canal, and “owning” the country of Israel.
And despite promising to be a “peace” president, Trump has said he intends to take the US annual Pentagon budget to a record $1 trillion.
He has distanced himself from a neo-conservative foreign policy and does not support democracy or human rights abroad. His “America First” stance and skepticism of NATO are in line with realist principles, but his impulsivity and diplomacy deviate from the norm.
At the same time, he has not called for a full military or diplomatic retreat from global affairs, setting him apart from isolationists.
What precisely motivates Trump’s foreign policy?
According to experts, the current global system is primarily fueled by dissatisfaction, which unfairly discredits the US with its rules and restrictions. Instead, Trump appears to want Washington to leverage its enormous military and economic power to set the rules to assert global dominance while reducing US contributions and commitments to others.
According to Josh Ruebner, a lecturer at Georgetown University’s Program on Justice and Peace, “the Trump doctrine is “scrap and grab,” allowing your allies to do the same.
Simply “tearing down”
Mathew Burrows, programme lead of the Strategic Foresight Hub at the Stimson Center think tank, said Trump wants US primacy without paying the costs that come with that.
According to Burrows, a veteran of the US Department of State and CIA, “he’s withdrawing the US from the rest of the world, especially economically.”
He continued, “But at the same time, he somehow thinks the US will be able to persuade other nations to end fighting and to do whatever the US wants.” “Hegemony just doesn’t work that way”.
Trump appears to think that using US influence to sway world leaders to accept his demands, he can get tariffs imposed, and occasionally using violence.
However, some critics claim that the US president rejects other nations’ ability to support nationalism, which eventually leads to opposition. Such was the case for Canada.
Following Trump’s call for Canada to become the 51st state, there was a wave of nationalist pride in our northern neighbor and an abrupt transition from the Conservative Party to the Liberal Party.
Foreign governments have accused Trump of “bullying” and blackmail, including China and Canada.
Some of Trump’s Democratic rivals have rushed to accuse him of abandoning the US global role, but at the same time, the US president has been projecting American strength to pressure other countries.
His approach is significant in contrast to that of his predecessor, despite its minor differences.
We are the unquestionable nation, according to the late Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who was famous in 1998. We stand tall and we see further than other countries into the future”.
According to Albright, that alleged power and wisdom enabled the US to carry out Pax Americana, the idea of a peaceful global order under Washington’s leadership.
Trump may not agree with Albright’s assertion that the US is supposedly taller than other countries.
“America does not need other countries as much as other countries need us”, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told reporters earlier this month.
However, she emphasized that other countries must engage in trade with the US to avoid Trump’s tariffs.
Trump wants to create jobs and revenues in this context rather than an international system governed by liberal values, as Washington envisions.
However, Burrows said the chief aim of Trump’s foreign policy is to dismantle the existing global order.
According to Burrows, “his negative attitudes toward the current order, where others appear to be rising,” are a big part of his worldview. And so, a lot of it is simply torn down.
The global order
Following World War II, the US took the lead in establishing much of the system that governs international relations.
Global affairs have been shaped by the United Nations and its organizations, international law, international treaties, trade agreements, and formal alliances for decades.
Critics of Washington point out that the US violated and opted out of the system where it saw fit.
For instance, the US did not sign the 1998 International Criminal Court Statute, which established the International Criminal Court. In a clear violation of the UN Charter, it invaded Iraq in 2003 without the UN Security Council’s consent. And it has been providing unconditional support to Israel despite the US ally’s well-documented abuses against Palestinians.
According to Matthew Duss, executive vice president at the Center for International Policy, “the United States has done a lot to support sort of multilateral institutions – the UN and others – that are based on these ideas.”
However, he continued, citing former US President Joe Biden’s support for Israel’s war against Gaza and President George W. Bush’s policies, including extraordinary rendition, torture, invasion, and protracted occupation. “The United States has always found ways to violate these norms and laws when it when it serves our purposes,” he continued.
But for Trump and his administration, there are indications that the global order is not just to be worked around, it needs to go.
During his confirmation hearing in January, Trump’s secretary of state Marco Rubio said, “The post-war global order is no longer just obsolete. It is now a weapon being used against us.”
Donald Trump, president of the United States, appears in the White House’s Oval Office on April 23.
Politics of grievance
Trump recently claimed that “almost every nation in the world” has “ripped off” the US.
His domestic policy rhetoric seems to resemble his promise to care for “America’s forgotten men and women” who have been treated unfairly by the “elites” domestically.
While the modern world order has empowered US companies and left the country with immense wealth and military and diplomatic might, Americans do have major issues to complain about.
Due to globalization, US jobs were moved abroad to countries with lower labor costs. Strategic errors that led to a generation of veterans with physical and mental injuries are largely seen as biased interventionist policies, particularly those that led to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Geoffrey Kabaservice, vice president of political studies at the Niskanen Center, a centre-right think tank in Washington, DC, noted that wages have stagnated for many Americans for decades.
According to Kabaservice, “the benefits of globalization were very poorly distributed, and some people at the top made enormous plutocratic sums of money that did not pass down to the working class’s general population,” Kabaservice claimed.
Voting Trump was “retribution” against the system, according to Kabaservice, who added that Trump’s “America First” strategy has pitted the US against the rest of the world for those who saw their factories closed and felt like they were living in “left-behind areas.”
“America is turning its back on the world”, Kabaservice said. Trump claims that America can be self-sufficient in all things, but it is already proving false.
According to Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute, a think tank dedicated to diplomacy, Trump’s foreign policy, including his approach to allies, is influenced by “the politics of grievance.”
“He does believe that the United States – because of its role as world policeman, which he’s not necessarily in love with – has been shouldering a lot of the security burden of the world without getting proper compensation”, Parsi told Al Jazeera.
The US president has been suggesting that Washington should be paid more for stationing troops in allies like Germany and South Korea while calling on NATO allies to increase their defense spending.
Nostalgia
What is Trump’s opinion of the world then?
“He’s an aggressive unilateralist, and in many ways, he’s just an old-school imperialist”, Duss said of Trump. He desires to “extend” American soil. He wants to evict wealth from other regions of the world. “This is a classic example of foreign policy,” he says.
He noted that Trump’s foreign policy is to act aggressively and unilaterally to achieve what he sees as US interests.
According to Kabaservice, Trump wants the US to go back to a time when it was a major producer and not overly involved in global affairs.
He said, “He enjoys the idea that maybe the United States is a great power, sort of in a model from the 19th century,” and that it enables the other great powers to have their own sphere of influence.
Kabaservice added that Trump wants the US to have “its own sphere of influence” and to be “expanding in the way that optimistic forward-moving powers are”.
Rubio’s assertion that there is a “multipolar world, multi-great powers in different parts of the planet” was supported by the notion of an America with its own “sphere of influence” earlier this year.
Parsi put it this way: despite his aversion to regime change, Trump is foremost seeking hemispheric hegemony, which is why he put an emphasis on acquiring Greenland and the Panama Canal.
“You’re shifting not from the politics of domination towards restraint, you’re shifting from the politics of global domination to a more limited form of domination”, Parsi told Al Jazeera.
“Your own hemisphere is your only focus.”
When these nostalgia and grievance views have practical applications, the US may already have seen what happens. Trump’s erratic trade policy rocked the US stock market and sparked threats of counter-levies from Canada to the European Union to China.
Trump eventually delayed many of his tariffs, maintaining a 10% levie baseline and additional import taxes on Chinese goods. The US president acknowledged that the suspension of the measures was a result of how the tariffs were received. “People were jumping a little bit out of line. He claimed that they were becoming agitated.
In the end, Kabaservice told Al Jazeera, “Trump’s unilateralism and unpredictability have significantly damaged the world’s trust.”
“In the broad span of history, Trump will be seen as the person who committed terrible unforced errors that led to the end of the American century and the beginning of the Chinese century”, he said.
The US president declared that his legacy would be “that of peacemaker and unifier” in his inauguration speech earlier this year.
Following Burton Albion’s 1-1 draw against Wigan Athletic, Rovers of Bristol and Crawley Town were both relegated from League One.
Rovers and Crawley were four points clear of the 20th-placed Brewers heading into the final round of matches on Saturday when Ronan Darcy scored the winner at Pirelli Stadium.
Even though Crawley have won four out of eight games since manager Scott Lindsey’s arrival in March, Rovers’ fate was almost sealed by their defeat by Reading last weekend.
Rovers’ two-year league break comes to an end, while Crawley are back in League Two after winning promotion via the play-offs the previous term to play third-tier football for the first time.
Rovers’ League Two status is reinstated

Rovers of Bristol fans celebrated one of the most memorable days in the club’s history three years ago when they defeated Scunthorpe 7-0 and, against all odds, earned automatic League One promotion.
Since then, nothing has quite captured those highs.
Hussain AlSaeed, a businessman from Kuwait, took control of the company in August 2023 before forming its sole ownership three months later. Senior executives like Tom Gorringe and George Friend, both of whom are now leaving, have also been replaced.
Since Joey Barton was fired in October 2023, Matt Taylor and Inigo Calderon have been appointed as two new managers. Taylor made hints at disruption before being fired, and Lee Cattermole had previously been briefly removed from his coaching staff without his knowledge.
Calderon said: “When I arrived, I felt that there were a lot of bad things that weren’t because of the previous manager. Saturday’s defeat by Reading almost confirmed relegation.” I have a lot of respect for him.
“But it’s true that there were many things I disliked when I first joined the club.” Too many people.
Results have stagnated on the field, and by 2024-25, the decline has accelerated after placing 15th and 17th places in the previous two years.
Rovers were nine points clear of the bottom four in March, but a six-game losing streak sent them into danger.
They also have the division’s worst away record, recording just three victories and 12 points in 22 games.
Last weekend, Captain James Wilson claimed that the squad’s fitness levels were insufficient to consistently deliver 90-minute performances and that standards on and off the pitch were insufficient.
With only 43 goals scored in 45 games, none of them have been helped by the injury to Chris Martin and Promise Omochere, who have both had hamstring injuries and knee surgeries, respectively, since March.
Crawley reverts to the beginning

Chairman Preston Johnson resigned the same month that the Red Devils were promoted thanks to a stylish League Two play-off run.
The only change that has happened since has been in the wrong direction, he claimed a month later when he returned from a trip.
After 87 games and 20 memorable months at the helm, Lindsey, the man who spearheaded Crawley’s promotion, left a division and took over as MK Dons’ new head coach.
Johnson insisted he did not want to lose Lindsey despite the club already struggling in 18th place with seven points from seven games.
Rob Elliot, a former Newcastle goalkeeper and manager of Gateshead, signed for a two-and-a-half-year contract that ran for just over six months.
Elliot left with Crawley 12 points adrift of League One safety after losing 19 of his 33 matches as manager of the Reds.
Lindsey was given a second spell in charge after departing Stadium MK.
His first two games saw him win both victories over Rovers of Bristol and Rotherham United, which gave him hope for the future.
