Kim Kardashian graduates after six years in law program, proving slow and steady wins race
Kim Kardashian has officially graduated from California's Law Office Study Program after six years of dedicated study, marking a key step in her pursuit of becoming a licensed attorney. The reality TV star celebrated the achievement with a private backyard ceremony surrounded by family, friends, and mentors.
The law apprenticeship program typically takes four years to complete, but Kim extended her studies to six years due to disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite this, she remained committed throughout the extended timeline.
The 44-year-old took to Instagram Stories to share moments from the event, where she wore a beige graduation cap and received praise from those who supported her journey. Attorney Jessica Jackson, one of Kim's mentors, called the graduation 'one of the most inspiring legal journeys we've ever seen,' highlighting Kim's commitment of '18 hours a week, 48 weeks a year for six years straight.' Jackson noted this was especially impressive given Kim's responsibilities, including raising four children, managing businesses, filming television shows, and advocating in courtrooms.

Another mentor at the ceremony lauded Kardashian for her efforts in clemency advocacy, reuniting families, and bringing national attention to flaws in the legal system. CNN political commentator Van Jones also gave a speech, celebrating her accomplishments. Kardashian's family was present, including her son Psalm, who was pictured enjoying ice cream in a suit.

Kim began her legal apprenticeship in 2018 without holding a college degree. She passed the challenging First-Year Law Students Examination—known as the 'baby bar'—in 2021 after three attempts. She described the experience as difficult but rewarding, writing on social media, 'it feels so so sooooo good to be here and on my way to achieving my goals.'

Her legal journey was shaped in part by a traumatic event: the 2016 armed robbery in Paris where masked men stole millions in jewelry from her hotel suite. Recently, Kim testified in court about the ordeal, which she said altered her life. The suspects face life sentences, and Kim expressed hope that the trial would provide closure.
This graduation brings Kim Kardashian closer to following in the footsteps of her late father, Robert Kardashian Sr., who was a prominent attorney.

David Beckham's garden carrot leaves Victoria ‘embarrassed' in funny home video
Sir David Beckham left his wife Victoria in fits of laughter after sharing a light-hearted video from their Cotswolds garden. The 50-year-old former England captain filmed himself harvesting a carrot from his home vegetable patch while being filmed by Victoria. 'I really hope it's good,' David said as he crouched beside the garden bed, clearing away soil with anticipation. But the excitement quickly turned to humour as he pulled up a small carrot with twisted roots. Victoria, filming the moment, burst into laughter, exclaiming, 'That's so disappointing,' and added, 'Omg that's embarrassing.' Posting the moment on Instagram, David captioned the video: 'Exciting day today in my veggie garden, CARROTS, but not exactly what I expected.' Fans reacted warmly in the comments. The Beckhams have gradually transformed their £12 million Cotswolds estate into a rural retreat, featuring a lake, bee hives, a greenhouse, an outdoor sauna, and multiple garden patches. David's passion for outdoor living was also noted in his Netflix documentary, where he shared his love for his 'country get-up.'

Hailey Bieber shuts down divorce rumours on social media as Justin shares emotional posts
Hailey Bieber has subtly shut down growing speculation about her marriage by sharing a selfie on Instagram showing her wearing her wedding ring. The post arrives amid rumours of a possible split from husband Justin Bieber, fuelled by her recent public appearances without the ring. Reports surfaced after Hailey was allegedly seen without the band during outings in New York, including nights out with Camila Morrone and Suki Waterhouse. However, the model's latest Instagram Story appears to dismiss those claims. Dressed in a black top and polka-dot trousers, with dark sunglasses and a handbag in tow, Hailey's ring is clearly visible on her left hand. Photo: Instagram While Hailey responded quietly, Justin Bieber took a more expressive approach on social media. The singer shared a series of monochrome selfies featuring his new nose pin, set to music including 'I Believe I Can Fly' by R. Kelly and 'Me Vs Me' by Moneybagg Yo. He also reposted messages that appeared to reflect his mindset. One read: 'Not everybody hates you, just a lot of people do… People in Tasmania don't hate you. But that's just because they don't know you.' Another added, 'You is jealous, envious, you trying to be me, around me.' The posts come after a public altercation with paparazzi outside Soho House in Malibu and a follow-up admission from Bieber that he had ended a friendship after being accused of 'lashing out.'
