Benny Blanco dreaming of kids with Selena Gomez amid health challenges
Music producer Benny Blanco has opened up about his desire to start a family with partner Selena Gomez, even as the couple keeps wedding plans private. In a recent InStyle interview, Blanco said he's 'dreaming and praying' about becoming a father. 'I love kids; I love being an uncle. I want to be a dad, though, God willing,' he shared.
Gomez has previously spoken candidly about her challenges with motherhood. In a Vanity Fair interview, she revealed she is unable to carry children due to medical complications stemming from lupus and bipolar disorder. Pregnancy could pose serious risks to her health and the baby's. 'That was something I had to grieve for a while,' she admitted. Still, Gomez remains determined to become a mother, considering adoption and surrogacy as meaningful alternatives. Her own mother was adopted, a fact she's called a 'blessing' in their family.
Despite medical challenges, the couple is building a future together—starting with their $35 million Spanish-style estate in Beverly Hills, which Blanco has been filling with 'creativity and heart.' 'I love making a house my own,' he said, emphasizing the importance of comfort and authenticity.
Blanco also reflected on his emotional growth, shaped by his upbringing with a single mother. He credits her with helping him understand women's emotional needs. 'A woman will tell you exactly what she needs,' he noted, emphasizing the value of listening and mutual respect. Reflecting on past relationships, he added that learning through trial and error taught him what not to do—and ultimately led him to Gomez.

17-year-old Lamine Yamal breaks silence on leaked voice notes with influencer
Barcelona teen sensation Lamine Yamal has firmly denied trying to meet 29‑year‑old adult film star Claudia Bavel, amid conflicting claims aired on Spanish TV show TardeAR. According to off‑air audio from the broadcast, Yamal insisted he declined any meeting with Bavel, stating he 'wasn't interested' and lives with his mother, who doesn't permit visitors. Journalist Alex Álvarez further alleged Bavel intended to hire a photographer to stage their encounter. Bavel responded via Instagram, asserting the opposite: she maintains Yamal initiated contact and sought to meet her at several social events. She emphasized they never met and denied any involvement of money or fame, urging the public to end defamatory accusations. She also shared alleged WhatsApp exchanges where Yamal reportedly asked her to visit his house despite the age difference and joked she wouldn't 'get arrested' because he'd secure her release—an attempt, she says, to persuade her. Both parties agree no meeting occurred, and Bavel pointedly said she 'chose not to speak publicly until after Yamal mentioned it.' The situation unfolds just days after Yamal was spotted holidaying with only‑fans model Fati Vázquez, also 29—who has faced severe online harassment and denies any romantic involvement, a story that sparked its own controversy. Yamal, still 17 and not due to turn 18 until July 13, has seen his sudden fame accompany scrutiny of his personal life. This latest episode highlights the fine line celebrity teens walk between public attention and privacy.

Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber unfollow each other amid Justin Bieber drama and divorce speculation
Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber have unfollowed each other on Instagram, marking a noticeable shift in their previously calm online relationship. The social media move, spotted on June 19, 2025, has reignited fan speculation about possible tensions between the two—especially in light of ongoing rumors surrounding Justin Bieber and his marriage to Hailey. The timing of the unfollow has raised eyebrows, particularly given the history between the two. Over two years ago, Gomez and Bieber appeared to publicly end their long-standing, fan-driven feud. In March 2023, they surprised the public by following each other on Instagram after Gomez urged her fans to stop harassing Hailey. Gomez had shared that Hailey reached out to her about the online abuse she was receiving, prompting the Rare Beauty founder to call for kindness and speak out against bullying. Their temporary peace was first signaled months earlier when the two posed together at the Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles in October 2022. Fans quickly noticed the recent unfollow and took to social media with reactions ranging from support to speculation. Many praised Gomez's decision as 'long overdue,' suggesting she is stepping back from unnecessary drama. Others questioned the timing, with some linking it to Justin Bieber's recent online behavior—including his alleged subtle jabs at Gomez and the fact that he recently unfollowed her fiancé, Benny Blanco. Fueling the speculation further are ongoing rumors about marital issues between Justin and Hailey Bieber. Some fans believe Gomez may have initially followed Hailey to help deescalate public conflict, but now sees no reason to maintain a digital connection. While neither Selena Gomez nor Hailey Bieber has publicly commented on the change, the unfollow has once again placed all three figures—Selena, Hailey, and Justin—at the center of renewed public scrutiny.

Bad Bunny tells fans not to expect Taylor Swift-style tour as he prepares for global stadium run
Bad Bunny is preparing to launch his next global stadium tour—but he's urging fans not to expect a Taylor Swift-style retrospective. In a new interview with Variety, the Puerto Rican star—born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio—emphasized that the tour will focus on his latest album, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, rather than offering a career-spanning showcase. 'First of all, I'm not Taylor Swift,' he said. 'I want to clarify now so that they don't get so excited: It's not going to be organized that way. It's still very much a tour for DeBÍ, with some older songs sprinkled in.' Produced by Live Nation, the tour kicks off November 21 in the Dominican Republic. He will perform in Costa Rica and Mexico before continuing in January through Colombia and other Latin American countries. In late February, he will head to Brazil and Australia for the first time, followed by a debut in Japan. From May to July, he'll visit European cities including Madrid, Lisbon, Berlin, and Paris. Ahead of the global run, Bad Bunny will also headline a 30-date residency at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot this summer. The concerts are expected to draw approximately 250,000 fans to his home island. Even as he downplays expectations, demand tells a different story. According to figures shared with Billboard by Live Nation, the tour has already sold 2.6 million tickets and is on track to generate hundreds of millions in revenue. He will also become the first Spanish-language artist to perform stadium shows in seven of the countries on his itinerary. The record-breaking numbers confirm Bad Bunny's continued rise as a global force—on his own terms.
