“But today’s different… it’s the launch of my incredible wife Sofia’s fashion brand, SRG Atelier. I’ve watched you pour your heart into every detail with your amazing team, and I couldn’t be prouder of you, Sof. You inspire me everyday and I love you,” he said.

Sofia responded: “Wait Elliot. omg I love you so so much! You are my life.” Last year, Sofia opened up about a terrifying ordeal she endured during her pregnancy with Eloise Samantha Grange.

Speaking on She MD, hosted by none other than her OBGYN, Dr. Thais Aliabadi, and women’s rights champion Mary Alice Haney, Sofia reminisced about a morning when she woke up feeling utterly exhausted, plagued with cramps and backache.

The social media personality initially brushed it off as typical pregnancy woes but opted to touch base with her doctor just in case a decision she now considers a stroke of luck.

“She was like, “You know what? Actually, I think you should go see the fetal specialist to monitor, to make sure that everything’s okay, and then you’ll go home. It’s not a big deal,”‘ the style icon recounted.

“Thank God she said that, because they hooked me up to the monitor and they were like, ‘You’re in active labor,”‘at 32 weeks,’ she disclosed. Subsequently, Sofia found herself at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, where she underwent additional monitoring and received IV fluids.

What was supposed to be a brief hospital visit turned into a six-night ordeal, she divulged.

Today’s horoscope for Friday, October 17 will see one star sign perservere with new goals, as another takes a short break to recharge

It’s Friday, and one star sign is irritated by a relative, while another lays the foundation for future happiness .

There are 12 zodiac signs – Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces – and the horoscopes for each can give you the lowdown on what your future holds, be it in work, your love life, your friends and family or more.

These daily forecasts have been compiled by astrologer Russell Grant, who has been reading star signs for over 50 years. From Aries through to Pisces, here’s what today could bring for your horoscope – and what you can do to be prepared.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

Your partner or a close friend will say or do something that takes you by surprise. A person you meet in a group setting will remind you of someone you knew in the past. Conversations around you will be lively with a few twists and turns. Events will certainly be entertaining.

Taurus (Apr 21 – May 21)

Information regarding your personal life will somehow get out in public. This may include details about your possessions, financial status, a gift you received or funding you applied for. You’re annoyed as this is no-one’s business but your own and you would like to know how it got out in the open.

Gemini (May 22 – June 21)

Taking some time off from work and your usual activities can be therapeutic. Recently you’ve been burning the candle at both ends. It is time to extinguish that flame and allow yourself a chance to rest. A short break will be beneficial for your well-being.

Cancer (June 22 – July 23)

An unexpected chance to travel will come your way. You won’t be expecting it but a strange twist in events will lead you down some interesting paths. You might learn something intriguing from a mentor or someone will offer to teach you a useful skill.

Leo (July 24 – Aug 23)

A friend’s strange behaviour is creating a distance between you. Try to resist the urge to intrude into their personal affairs. Even if you have access to certain information, it would be best to avoid reading their messages. You want to understand them better but wait until they’re ready to talk to you.

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sept 23)

Factors that have an impact on your health will lead you to become more aware or conscious of your eating habits and the nutrients in your diet. You might also be considering your living situation and your social life and how these affect your overall well-being.

Libra (Sept 24 – Oct 23)

A creative project will be a refreshing way to divert your mind from something that is upsetting you. Get stuck into a world of clay or paint and let your imagination flow. Jot down some of the funny thoughts that come into your head and share them later with friends. You won’t be the only one who finds these amusing.

Scorpio (Oct 24 – Nov 22)

People want to let you know how much they appreciate the help you have given them recently. You never did this for gain but gifts, treats and money are heading your way. Someone will offer to do you a favour. It would offend them if you turned them down.

Sagittarius (Nov 23 – Dec 21)

Your aim now is to make progress in areas that are important to you. You have the potential to succeed in what matters most to you now and you know this will require a lot of dedication and perseverance in addition to utilising your natural talents.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 20)

Taking a short break when you need it will be beneficial. Keep telling yourself you aren’t running a sprint but rather a long-distance marathon. Your ability to conserve and manage your strength as well as to recharge your energy whenever possible will be vital to your eventual success.

Aquarius (Jan 21 – Feb 19)

A relative is starting to get on your nerves. It’s up to you to avoid getting caught up in their manipulative tactics. By not responding to provocative comments they will lose interest and start looking for someone else to bother. It takes two to tango.

Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)

Family connections deepen and this is what is going to lay the foundation for your future happiness. Finding balance and harmony in your life can help you push through challenging situations that might otherwise disrupt your peace and affect your sleep.

Liam Payne’s memory is set to be immortalised forever in his home city.

A collection of “loving tributes” will be showcased at a permanent display at Wolverhampton’s City Archives, which holds vast collections including maps, books, census returns and newspapers from the area. The life of the late One Direction singer, born in Wolverhampton, will be celebrated in an exhibition there, which is understood to remain indefinitely.

Plans are reportedly in motion for this memorial, which will feature some of the hundreds of tributes left in the city by fans and locals following Liam’s death. Thursday marked the one-year anniversary of the tragedy and saw fans gather in West Park in the city to lay further tributes to the former The X-Factor star.

Previous tributes, left in the wake of the passing in late 2024, were sent off to be restored.

Ace Frehley of the band KISS has died, his family have announced.

The devastating news comes after the band’s original guitarist was placed on life support after suffering a bleed on the brain following a fall in his studio several weeks ago, which led to the cancellation of his upcoming tour dates.

His family said: “We are completely devastated and heartbroken. In his last moments, we were fortunate enough to have been able to surround him with loving, caring, peaceful words, thoughts, prayers and intentions as he left this earth. We cherish all of his finest memories, his laughter, and celebrate his strengths and kindness that he bestowed upon others.

“The magnitude of his passing is of epic proportions, and beyond comprehension. Reflecting on all of his incredible life achievements, Ace’s memory will continue to live on forever!”

After his fall and the subsequent cancellation of his tour, a statement posted on his official Instagram page on 25 September reassured fans: “He is fine, but against his wishes, his doctor insists that he refrain from travel at this time.”

However, a week later, another statement was released: “Due to some ongoing medical issues, Ace has made the difficult decision to cancel the remainder of his 2025 dates.”

Frehley was a founding member of KISS alongside Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley and Peter Criss. He played guitar for the band from 1973 to 1982 before leaving due to creative differences and struggles with substance abuse.

After departing KISS, Frehley embarked on a solo career, forming the band Frehley’s Comet, which performed together from 1984 to 1988. He rejoined KISS for their 1996 reunion tour, the Alive/Worldwide Tour, and stayed with them until 2002.
