After the birth of their daughter, Megan Fox’s ex-partner Machine Gun Kelly has broken his silence about their relationship. The well-known duo has been together for a while, but last year they decided to give up.

The actress, who was pregnant at the time, has since given birth to Saga Blade, her first child. After splitting over Thanksgiving, the musician has been raising their son together.

He has since disclosed their relationship and Megan’s current status with each other. On Friday’s Today Show, Machine Gun Kelly, 35, addressed his ex-boyfriend in a positive way.

He remarked, “Megan is a wonderful mother.” She is killing it, he continued. I’m so excited. The sentimental significance of their daughter’s name was then discussed by him.

MGK said that Saga’s name represents him and 39 year old Megan’s experience of having a baby together. He discussed how the two of them went through a pregnancy loss.

He said, “Coming back again, disappearing, returning again.” She has a fantastic story. And that is the meaning of Saga. The Nordic goddess of storytelling is, according to MGMK, because I am also of Norwegian heritage.

He then went on to discuss what his daughter might do as a result, saying that “we have a storytelling future ahead of us.” The relationship between Megan and Megan first developed in 2020 when they first met on the set of the crime drama Midnight in the Switchgrass.

In 2022, MGK proposed. Then, in the spring of 2023, they parted ways before reuniting.

In her poetry collection Pretty Boys Are Poisonous, Megan confessed to having a miscarriage while their relationship was in the latter stages of her life. In his song Don’t Let Me Go, MGK sang, “How can I live with the fact that my hand wasn’t on her stomach when we lost the baby?” he also mentioned the loss in February 2024.

Megan and her husband split up shortly after the announcement was made that she would be expecting a rainbow baby in November of last year. Later, in March, the off-kilter couple gave birth to their daughter.

Megan was married to actor Brian Austin Green for ten years before joining MGK.

The couple has three sons, Noah, 12, Bodhi, 10, and Journey, 8, who were parents to them for 16 years combined. Casie Colson Baker, 15, and his ex-girlfriend Emma Cannon, both have children.

Amusan Posts Season’s Best Time In Paris Diamond League

Tobi Amusan, the world record holder, put together a fantastic performance at the Paris 2025 Diamond League, finishing in second place in the women’s 100-meter hurdles with a 12.24 second best time of the season.

She sets a new record for the fastest time ever, surpassing her 2022 world record of 12.12 seconds.

Amusan sprinted through the final meters before quickly slamming on Grace Stark of the United States, who had set a personal best and meeting record of 12.21 seconds, making her the fifth-fastest woman to cross the 100-meter barrier.

Ackera Nugent of Jamaica came in third in a quick 12.30 second.

This performance is the most recent example of the Nigerian’s consistent and impressive resurgence.

Amusan’s campaign started off modestly with a fourth-place finish in China’s Xiamen, followed by another fourth-place finish in Shaoxing, which was also in China.

However, the 28-year-old resurrected in Rabat, Morocco, with a season-best and meet record time of 12.45 seconds to earn her first Diamond League title.

Paris’s fourth Diamond League appearance of the year ensures her continued improvement in form and consistency in the run-up to major championships.

In the French capital, the 2022 world champion was surrounded by world champion Keni Harrison, rising Jamaican star Nugent, Polish champion Pia Skrzyszowska, Dutch champion Nadine Visser, Bahamas-based Devynne Charlton, and current Diamond League leader Stark.

As the competition for the Diamond League finals in Zurich grows, Amusan’s upward trajectory, her top performance, and her experience at the top level helped her win the match.

David and Victoria Beckham hurt by ‘pointed’ move from Nicola Peltz and son Brooklyn

As family members criticize Brooklyn’s wife Nicola for hurting the family with her “pointed” moves, the conflict between David and Victoria Beckham and their son Brooklyn is getting worse.

The feud between Brooklyn and his parents is reported to continue(Image: Instagram/Getty)

The ongoing feud between the Beckhams and their son Brooklyn is only escalating, with friends of David and Victoria’s reportedly accusing Nicola Peltz of “deliberately” rubbing it in. Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola, 30, have distanced themselves from Victoria and David, following a series of snubs.

Although their eldest son Brooklyn and his nepo-baby wife Nicola are keeping quiet on the situation, as are the Beckhams, the couple have been notably absent from a slew of family-centred events and social media posts – or lack thereof – have spoken volumes. The previously close-knit family has gone ahead with events, including David’s 50th birthday celebrations and his long-awaited knighthood, but Brooklyn and Nicola have shunned it all by not turning up to events or acknowledging the special occasions on social media.

Meanwhile, the pair has frequently praised Nicola’s parents on social media. The couple gave her parents a “thank-you” on Instagram in April, despite Brooklyn completely disregarding his mother on Mother’s Day, which was just weeks before.

Father’s Day also went without mention from Brooklyn, but Nicola gushed over her father, billionaire businessman and investor Nelson Peltz. According to a friend of the couple, it has been a particularly painful time for the Beckhams.

Speaking to the Mail, a source said: “It all feels very pointed. Like Brooklyn and Nicola are deliberately trying to rub David and Victoria’s noses in it.”

A different source claimed that the Peltzes have viewed the Beckhams’ attempts to support their children on their own two feet as being “tight.” However, another source claimed Victoria is concerned about her son’s isolation after Nicola’s parents gave her money to purchase a £10.5 million mansion in Los Angeles.

The family’s “house purchase quashes any last hopes,” according to an insider who spoke to the family, “was hoping his move to America wouldn’t be permanent.” And he might find it challenging to move up and down because Nicola and Brooklyn are both named on the house.

A source told the Mirror: “This house has nothing to do with family dynamics. Both Nicola and Brooklyn’s careers are based in Los Angeles, and Brooklyn spent part of his childhood there while his father played for LA Galaxy.

He spent a number of years in LA before moving to the city and making friends there. He has always felt at home in LA.

However, both Victoria and David, who both come from working-class backgrounds, have always emphasized the need for independence. What kind of message does that send, the source continued, “Of course they weren’t just going to hand their son millions of pounds when it came to buying this house.”

However, a source close to Brooklyn has criticized the accusations as “cruel and baseless.” They retorted, “It’s disappointing and frankly absurd that anyone would try to tamper with Nicola and Brooklyn’s marriage and this significant home ownership milestone.”

Their union is based in love, affection, and commitment, according to the statement. Brooklyn’s claim that she is “trapped” is false is not only false; it is a purposefully cruel and baseless story meant to undermine a strong, loving marriage.

The woman raising 98 children with disabilities in Uganda

In a lull between heavy rain showers and heavy rain in the late afternoon of November, Edith and two older team members banter and giggle loudly. They observe the muddy courtyard’s younger staff members attempting to dodge puddles and sweat through daily aerobics drills.

Diego, a cerebral palsy boy, climbs a concrete ramp and heads toward a therapy room as energetic pop music plays across the compound’s three single- and double-storey buildings. He scurries forward slowly until Edith notices him, his wrists twisted.

“Diego, my boy”! The 49-year-old yells out in a big grin.

She grabs him up and quickly catches him onto her hip, her loose dress dangling as she runs over to him. The two laugh before turning their attention to the workout, which he gives her a high five.

The orphanage has the impression of being home to a very large family thanks to Edith and her staff’s warmth and affection for the children there.

With the birth of Derrick, Edith’s first child, in Jinja in 2000, her own development as a disability rights activist in Uganda began.

Derrick cried a lot and turned yellow when he was two days old. Therefore, Edith and her husband Richard took him to a hospital where he had been diagnosed with malaria. After two weeks of experiencing convulsions, their son was diagnosed with complications with his spinal cord after coming into contact with meningitis.

Rural areas’ access to 77 percent of health care is provided by witch doctors like Robert Apedu in Soroti District. They [Christopher Hopkins/Al Jazeera] provide a more convenient alternative to the medical facilities and medications found in cities.

“It was when I realized that my son wasn’t developing as a normal child when he made three months.” He lacked control over his movements. His spinal cord was curved. Edith recalls him as being “very floppy” in her office. A portrait of Yoweri Museveni hangs above the door, and its walls are decorated with certificates of appreciation and merit.

Edith recalls how, as they battled to find out about their son’s condition, their friends and family feared them and Derrick and how they were treated unfairly by them as they gaze out a window onto a playground full of children.

“We started entering and exiting the hospital. Hospital, home, hospital, etc. And people were quick to point out that he had epilepsy, especially in his convulsions. He has demons. And this is where the neighborhood rejects me, she claims.

They thought, “She gave birth to a demon-possessed child.”

Omalera, Soroti District, Uganda. Local Witch doctor Robert Apedu treats Noah Oyara,17. Noah has no use of his legs and also lives with hydrocephalus. Robert treated these conditions by rubbing a paste of water and plant matter into Noahs skin. While he is well known in the area as a witch doctor, he understands the negative connotation surrounding his profession so like many others he refers to himself as a 'traditional healer or herbalist'.

Noah Oyara, 17, who has no use for his legs and also has hydrocephalus, is sprayed with a paste of plant matter and water in the Omalera village. Robert refers to himself as a “traditional healer” or “herbalist” [Christopher Hopkins/Al Jazeera] due to negative connotations surrounding his profession.

Many Ugandans have turned to traditional healing, with the exception of government-run schools or local clinics, where they have historically and to this day not been promoted. Edith resisted social pressure and took her son to traditional healers without a diagnosis and feeling helpless.

I attempted to approach various witch doctors about him. They were smearing him with their herbs, washing him with goat’s blood, and covering him with chicken blood. Derrick didn’t change, she recalls, despite the fact that they could have us in at night to shower us with the chicken’s blood. It was only getting worse, they said.

Five Killed, 10 Injured In Kano Explosion

Five people were killed and at least ten others were seriously hurt on Friday when a devastating explosion ripped through the Gidan Karfe neighborhood along Kano City’s Eastern Bypass.

Explosives are thought to have been the cause of the afternoon explosion, which was reported to have been hidden among the scrap of Yobe State.

Emergency responders and security personnel rushed to the scene after the incident, which caused a great deal of panic in the area.

Shortly after the explosion, Kano’s commissioner of police, Ibrahim Bakori, confirmed the casualties and provided early information about the suspected cause.

According to CP Bakori, preliminary investigations indicate that explosives were concealed in a truck carrying scrap from Yobe State. The device probably detonated while the truck was being loaded off the site.

Eyewitnesses described a scene of chaos and destruction with eerie skyscrapers and terrified residents escaping.

The area was quickly cordoned off by emergency services, including the police bomb squad and the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA). Patients were flown to nearby hospitals where doctors worked to stabilize the injured.

Security authorities have begun an exhaustive investigation into the explosion. Uncertainty surrounds the purpose of a truck carrying explosives loaded with scrap.

According to CP Bakori, “We are taking this incident seriously the most.” Our teams are looking closely at whether these materials were undiscovered and whether there were concerns for broader security.

He urged people to report any suspicious activity to the authorities and to remain calm but watchful.

Panama declares emergency in western province after deadly pension protests

Antigovernment protesters accused of torching a baseball stadium and looting businesses, including a provincial airport, have been declared in western Bocas del Toro province, according to Panama’s declaration of state of emergency.

According to police, clashes with police that erupted two months ago in Bocas del Toro, a major banana-producing region, resulted in one fatality and the injury of several officers.

In a press conference on Friday, presidential minister Juan Carlos Orillac stated that the government would be able to reestablish order and “rescue” the province from “radical groups” by declaring that the damage done to public properties was “unacceptable and did not represent a legitimate protest.”

The state will carry out its constitutional duty to ensure peace, he said, “in the event of disturbance of order and systematic violence.”

He claimed that the procedure will last five days.

The protesters have clashed with authorities over a March pension reform law, supported by unions and indigenous groups nationwide.

In Bocas del Toro, where workers at a nearby Chiquita banana plantation have largely led the fights, have been particularly violent. The multinational banana company, Chiquita, sacked thousands of workers after calling the workers’ strike an “unjustified abandonment of work.”

After being able to negotiate the reinstatement of some benefits that had been removed as part of the March pension reform, those workers eventually withdrew from the protests.

The government has not yet stated why the Chiquita workers were directly to blame for the roadblocks in Bocas del Toro, despite the fact that it did not say for them.

Authorities said on Thursday that groups of hooded people partially set fire to a baseball stadium and looted businesses in the city of Changuinola, Bocas del Toro’s main city, with police officers inside, at a peak.

According to police, “vandals took over” the neighborhood airport, snatched cars from rental car companies, and looted offices and warehouses filled with supplies from Chiquita. On Friday, flights at the airport were still being canceled.

In recent months, right-wing President Jose Raul Mulino in Panama has been the target of numerous protests.

Panamanians have protested a deal Mulino and US President Donald Trump reached in April that allowed US troops to station along the Panama Canal.

After Trump repeatedly threatened to “take back” the US-built waterway, Mulino made the concession to Trump.
