It's been the most special calling being your mom. I love you forever and got you forever my bubs.'
The emotional post comes during a time of reported custody complications between Kim and Kanye. Though the details remain private, public interest in their co-parenting dynamic continues to grow.

Ayesha Khan found dead in her Karachi flat aged 76
Tributes poured in on Friday as veteran Pakistani television actor Ayesha Khan was found dead in her Gulshan-e-Iqbal flat in Karachi on Thursday evening, police confirmed. As per reports across local media, according to a spokesperson, an initial examination by local police indicated that the actor, who lived by herself, had passed away in the bathroom. She was 76. Ayesha, the elder sister of late actor Khalida Riasat, was born in 1948 and enjoyed an acting career spanning five decades. With her passing being mourned as a profound loss in the entertainment industry, Ayesha's most memorable performances across Pakistani television include her roles in Aroosa, Family 93, Shaam Se Pehle, and Afshan. On Thursday, actor Khaled Anam took to Instagram to break the news of Ayesha's passing. "With profound sadness, we share the news of legendary Pakistani actress Ayesha Khan passing away this June 2025," wrote Khaled. Arts Council of Pakistan President Ahmed Shah called Ayesha's passing "a profound loss" for the country's drama industry. Gentleman star Adnan Siddiqui echoed the sentiment, taking to Instagram to pay his respects in a heartfelt post. "There are people you meet early in your journey who leave behind quiet but lasting imprints. For me, Ayesha Khan sahiba was one of those people," began Adnan. Reminiscing about his first meeting with the senior star when she played his on-screen mother in television serial Aroosa, Adnan lauded Ayesha's grace and compassion throughout her career. "I met her on the set of Aroosa, my very first drama; I was a rookie then, a true greenhorn with only a few modelling assignments and commercials to my name. She was my on-screen mother but brought a compassion reminiscent of a maternal figure, a presence that soothed, grounded and made a space feel more human," continued Adnan. "In an industry that can often be brisk, brusque and bustling, Ayesha jee carried herself with a calm dignity. She was never loud, never needing to prove anything — her craft did all the talking." Paying homage to all that he had learned from Ayesha, Adnan added, "Her kindness, her elegance, her calm strength, all of it taught me so much, even when she wasn't trying to. I consider it a gift to have shared screen space with her." Adnan ended his tribute by commending the senior star's powerful presence on and off screen. "Ayesha jee wasn't just an actor; she was an atmosphere. And her absence will be deeply felt."

Mexico's Chicano style meets Japan's Harajuku
Blended style is also known as Chicanjuku. Photo: Reuters In a leafy park in Mexico City, beside colonial era fountains and food stands, Italia Segovia's designs are turning heads, as usual. A pink ruffled dress with white lace and big bow; a high-school vibe tartan dress tied with a pale yellow shawl imprinted with Mexico's patron saint the Virgin of Guadalupe, all accentuated with loud heavy makeup. Segovia, known to her friends as Kumiko, calls her work Chicanjuku: a fusion of Mexican-American Chicano culture and Japanese Harajuku style, named after the Tokyo district renowned for its bright colored accessories, outlandish makeup, and elaborate hairstyles. "It's like a food blender of styles," Segovia said of her designs, which have also become a core part of her identity. Chicano style was popularised by Mexican-Americans in the US who felt out of place in both countries because of their mixed backgrounds, said Segovia. Though she is not Mexican-American, she has several relatives in the US who inspired her deep love for the style she now draws from. Segovia, who has almost 30 thousand followers on Instagram, mashes the oversize shirts, khakis and flat brim caps analogous to Chicano culture with the candy-floss fairy-tale pop of Harajuku. The makeup might include dark lining around the lips and eyeliner that emulates Japanese Geisha style. "You can always experiment with fashion and art as long as it's from a place of knowledge and respect," Segovia said. Segovia's distinctive aesthetic has even caught the eye of admirers in Japan. In June, she made special outfits for three Japanese E-Queens, a subculture of electronic music dancers, who she connected with months earlier online. The group met up in Mexico City for a photo shoot and street dance, dressed in Segovia's outfits. "I love how she uses texture," said Shirendev Oyun-Erdenen, a Japanese E-Queen who dances under the name Maaya the Bee. "Helping people feel free to experiment and not be afraid. That's what it's all about," Segovia said. Reuters
