Wade Boggs Stuns Fans and Baseball Legends with Victorious Post-Cancer Shirtless Photo

0

Wade Boggs is certainly putting many to shame.

The baseball legend recently took to social media, sharing a shirtless photo of himself enjoying a day out fishing, showing off an impressively toned physique.

Just earlier this May, Boggs announced he’s been in the clear from cancer for two years, following a diagnosis of prostate cancer in September 2024.

This revelation left sports fans in awe, further heightened when seeing Boggs’ athletic build, including praise from fellow Hall of Famer and three-time Cy Young Award recipient, Jim Palmer.

Palmer commented on X, “100 walks, 200 hits or more for 7 straight years and yet the Red Sox labeled you as just a singles hitter… if that’s how you looked during your career, the front office wouldn’t have had any complaints. Hope you’re doing well.”

“Wade Boggs will drink your beer, eat your chicken, land your fish & kick your ass all before dinner time,” an X user wrote.

“I gotta be honest here. I did not expect Wade Boggs to show up on my timeline looking like an absolute unit today,” another said.

“Some good pasture raised chickens Wade,” a third said.

“I guess I’ll skip the blueberry muffin I bought for breakfast today,” someone else chimed in.

“Prob should have hit a few more homers bro. Haha,” another wrote.

An X user even asked AI chat bot Grok if the image was real.

The account responded: “Modern AI images can be virtually indistinguishable from real ones, so definitive calls from visuals alone are tough. This was posted by Wade Boggs’ official account and matches his recent look. Looking that jacked at 68 after beating cancer is amazing.”

The 67-year-old revealed his cancer update while in Boston at Fenway Park, where he played for 11 seasons, to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the Red Sox’s first home game.

His last treatment was on Nov. 3, 2024.

“I had my checkup a month ago, and I’m completely cancer-free,” he said, per NPR.

“I’m a cancer survivor now. Prostate cancer is null and void. Thank God,” Boggs said after throwing out a first pitch before the Rays-Red Sox game.

Boggs was drafted by the Red Sox in 1976 out of Plant High School in Tampa, Fl.

After his years in Boston where he earned eight All-Star nods, he went on to play five years for the Yankees and was a crucial member of the 1996 World Series team that upset the Braves.

Boggs played his final two years with the Rays where he earned his 3,000th hit before retiring at 41 in 1999.

His jersey has been retired by both the Red Sox and Rays.

Lauren Boebert’s Son’s Mugshot: What’s Behind the Glare?

0

Recently surfaced mugshots of Tyler Boebert, son of Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, have come to light following his arrest on charges concerning the sexual exploitation of a child.

The released images from the Garfield County Sheriff’s Office show the 21-year-old with a stoic expression.

After being charged with three counts of sexual exploitation of a child, which includes a charge related to video content, Boebert was released on a $10,000 bond, as confirmed by Colorado court records dated August 6.

Authorities allege that these charges are tied to a 43-second video he allegedly recorded featuring himself and a 17-year-old girl, material they have classified as child sexual abuse content, according to a report by People.

Reportedly, the video in question was filmed on February 1, 2024, when Boebert was 18 and the girl, 17, as noted by People.

According to an affidavit, the girl reported the video to police the following day after her ex-boyfriend received a copy. Her mother later told authorities that the video had been posted to Instagram, according to NBC News.

The charges relate to felonies that allegedly occurred in 2024.

He was also slapped with two counts of ‘contributing to the delinquency of a minor.’

Boebert spoke out after her son was arrested on charges of child sexual exploitation.

She told the Daily Mail, ‘I love my son. We take these allegations very seriously and pray for everyone affected during this challenging time.’

The records indicate that Tyler was released on Sunday. He is scheduled to appear in Garfield County District Court on August 19.

He has not yet entered a plea in the case, first reported by American Muckrakers.

This is not the congresswoman’s son’s first run-in with the law, as he was charged with child abuse in February.

Tyler, one of Boebert’s four children, was slapped with a misdemeanor charge of child abuse without injury, according to 9News.

He is accused of leaving his two-year-old son unattended at the congresswoman’s home in Windsor, Colorado, in February.

The tot then reportedly wandered away from the house, which is located close to a lake.

Colorado Representative Boebert told 9News at the time that there’s ‘no excuse’ for her son’s actions and that she’s ‘very frustrated this happened.’

‘A kind woman quickly and safely secured him, and authorities were called as a precaution,’ Boebert added at the time.

The charge was Tyler’s second of the same nature.

Tyler was cited on July 11 last year for leaving his son unattended.

He was charged with criminal negligence where no death or injury occurred, according to documents from the Windsor Police Department.

Tyler had his son, Josiah, in June 2023 when he was still a teenager, making Boebert a grandmother at the age of 36.

The Republican said in a statement to the Daily Mail previously, ‘Tyler has been doing a great job getting his life on track as a father and citizen over the past year.

Boebert often brings her grandson to DC with her, and he was seen in a photograph depicting the congresswoman’s visit to a local farm in Colorado, shared by her office on Monday.

Revitalize Leg Strength After 55: Top 5 At-Home Exercises

0

Fed up with gym equipment? Here are five effective standing exercises that can rejuvenate your leg strength after the age of 55.

>

As we age past 55, maintaining the strength of our leg muscles requires genuine and consistent effort. While gym machines offer support, they might also make your lower-body workouts feel a bit too dependent. For those looking to regain functional muscle strength, standing exercises often provide a more robust and effective challenge for your legs.

Engaging in standing workouts means your legs must do much more than push against a cushioned pad or navigate a predetermined course. You need to manage your body weight, maintain balance, and coordinate your movements carefully to ensure this strength translates to real-world scenarios beyond the gym walls.

This routine centers on significant lower-body movements without turning your workout into a daunting task. Foundational exercises like squats and deadlifts set the groundwork. Activities such as lunges and step-ups target each leg individually, while the swing exercise injects a burst of speed and power, rounding off your session.

Incorporate these five standing exercises into your routine two to three times per week. Begin with manageable weights, leaving room for progress, and build your leg muscles steadily, one well-executed workout at a time.

Goblet Squat

The goblet squat is one of the best starting points for rebuilding leg muscle because it provides a strong squat pattern without the pressure of a barbell on your back. Holding the weight in front helps you stay upright, which makes it easier to feel your quads, glutes, and core working together.

This one also teaches you how to own the bottom of a squat. That matters after 55 because strong legs aren’t only about standing up. You also need control on the way down.

Muscles Trained: Quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings, core, upper back.

How to Do It

  1. Stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart.
  2. Hold a dumbbell or kettlebell at chest height.
  3. Brace your core and keep your chest tall.
  4. Lower into a squat by bending your knees and hips.
  5. Pause briefly when you reach a comfortable depth.
  6. Press through your whole foot to stand tall.

Recommended Sets and Reps: Perform 3 sets of 8 to 12 reps. Rest for 60 to 90 seconds between sets.

Best Variations: Bodyweight squats, box goblet squats, slow-tempo goblet squats.

Form Tip: Keep the weight close to your chest to keep your torso strong throughout the rep.

The 6-Minute Wall Routine That Firms Belly Pooch Faster Than Crunches After 60

Barbell Deadlift

The barbell deadlift builds the back side of your legs in a way most machines can’t match. Your hamstrings and glutes have to drive the movement, while your trunk and upper back help keep the bar close and the lift controlled.

You don’t need to pull heavy singles for this to work. A clean set of moderate deadlifts can do plenty to rebuild strength in your hips, legs, and back. Keep the range of motion honest, and use blocks or a raised starting position if pulling from the floor doesn’t feel right yet.

Muscles Trained: Glutes, hamstrings, quadriceps, calves, core, upper back, grip.

How to Do It

  1. Stand with your feet about hip-width apart and the barbell over the middle of your feet.
  2. Hinge at your hips and grip the bar just outside your legs.
  3. Brace your core and pull your chest up slightly.
  4. Press through the floor as you stand tall with the bar.
  5. Keep the bar close to your body throughout the lift.
  6. Hinge your hips back and lower the bar with control.

Recommended Sets and Reps: Perform 3 sets of 5 to 8 reps. Rest for 90 seconds between sets.

Best Variations: Rack pulls, trap-bar deadlifts, kettlebell deadlifts.

Form Tip: Think about pushing the floor away as you stand, not yanking the bar off the ground.

Dumbbell Walking Lunge

Walking lunges make each leg handle its own share of the work. That’s a big deal if one side tends to feel stronger, more stable, or more coordinated than the other. The movement also brings balance and stride control, giving it a practical edge for everyday strength.

Start with bodyweight if needed. Once your steps feel steady, light dumbbells can make this exercise a serious leg builder without requiring a machine or a huge load.

Muscles Trained: Quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings, calves, core.

How to Do It

  1. Stand tall with a dumbbell in each hand.
  2. Step forward with one foot.
  3. Lower into a lunge until both knees bend comfortably.
  4. Press through your front foot to stand and bring your back leg forward.
  5. Step into the next lunge with the opposite leg.
  6. Continue alternating steps.

Recommended Sets and Reps: Perform 3 sets of 8 to 10 reps per leg. Rest for 60 to 90 seconds between sets.

Best Variations: Bodyweight walking lunges, reverse lunges, shorter-stride walking lunges.

Form Tip: Take a steady step and let your front leg do the work before you move into the next rep.

4 Daily Standing Exercises That Keep Your Back Pain-Free After 60

Dumbbell Step-Up

Step-ups train the exact kind of strength many people want more of after 55. You’re driving through one leg, controlling your balance, and lifting your body onto a higher surface. That makes the exercise useful for stairs, hills, and any moment where your legs need to support you one side at a time.

Choose a box or step that lets you move well. If the height forces you to push off the back leg, it’s too high for now. You should feel the working leg take charge.

Muscles Trained: Quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings, calves, core.

How to Do It

  1. Stand in front of a sturdy box, bench, or step with a dumbbell in each hand.
  2. Place one foot fully on the step.
  3. Brace your core and lean forward slightly.
  4. Press through the foot on the step to stand tall.
  5. Lower yourself back down with control.
  6. Complete all reps on one side before switching legs.

Recommended Sets and Reps: Perform 3 sets of 8 to 10 reps per side. Rest for 60 to 90 seconds between sets.

Best Variations: Bodyweight step-ups, lower step-ups, step-ups with a pause at the top.

Form Tip: Keep your whole foot on the step and avoid bouncing off the floor with your trailing leg.

Judge Rules Trump’s Financial Evasion Strategy Could Significantly Aid Opponent in Lawsuit

0

In a significant turn of events in his colossal $10-billion defamation suit, President Donald Trump has been granted the opportunity to amend his complaint against the British Broadcasting Corporation. A Florida judge allowed this adjustment but hinted that it might inadvertently benefit the BBC. Despite Trump’s hopes for evading financial discovery, the judge tempered expectations regarding his new strategy’s ability to accomplish that.

Trump’s legal maneuvering sought to pivot the lawsuit away from business damages and concentrate solely on reputational damage. The BBC has charged that this is a blatant bid to keep “sensitive” material under wraps, especially concerning the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust’s urgent request to shield confidential papers detailing tax information, ownership, and finances across about 400 business entities. Nonetheless, in a brief order issued Monday, U.S. District Judge Roy Altman acknowledged Trump demonstrated “good cause” to revise his legal suit.

Known for his connection to Trump, the judge mentioned last week that a “careful review” influenced his decision to halt a discovery deadline in consideration of Trump’s motion to adjust his complaint. Altman concluded that only after the discovery process, primarily jurisdiction-related, Trump’s legal team acquired “good cause” knowledge to integrate facts indicating the BBC’s documentary, “Trump: A Second Chance,” reached audiences in Florida.

Judge Altman elaborated, “The Plaintiff contends that he satisfies Rule 16(b)’s good-cause requirement because he didn’t have the information he needed for his proposed amendment until after the deadline had expired.” The records confirm the timing of these findings supported Trump’s case modification.

Altman pointed to the “facts” that the BBC’s “own data reflect at least 34 successful play starts attributed to Florida, and that the BBC received contemporaneous notice that its geo-blocking was failing.” Earlier in the case, the BBC sought dismissal for lack of jurisdiction because the defendants “did not create” the documentary “in Florida, produce [it] in Florida, or air [it] in Florida.”

Overall, Trump has alleged that the documentary harmed him by editing together “excerpts from different points” of his Jan. 6 speech from the Ellipse out of sequence, even though, by the BBC’s own admission, it “unintentionally created the […] mistaken impression that President Trump had made a direct call for violent action.”

“The injury to President Trump’s personal reputation inflicted by BBC and its efforts to wrongly portray President Trump as a violent insurrectionist has caused him to suffer, and continue to suffer, overwhelming reputational harm,” Trump’s amended complaint reads. “Exacerbating the damages, Defendant made its false, deceptive, malicious, and defamatory depiction of President Trump in bad faith, motivated by malice and ill-will against President Trump without any regard for the truth, and contrary to information Defendant possessed that showed its depiction to be false, or, at minimum, should have raised, and did raise, serious doubts that the depiction could possibly be true (which it was not).”

But if Trump’s lawyers thought “simply” focusing on the “reputational injury to the President, full stop” would make discovery concerns vanish entirely, the judge said that “won’t necessarily” be the case.

“The BBC also writes: ‘[The] Plaintiff’s proposed amended Complaint is futile because it cannot even secure him the goal he seeks: avoidance of financial discovery.’ We agree in part and disagree in part with this assertion,” Altman said. “We agree that an amended complaint won’t necessarily obviate the need for certain financial disclosures—especially since the amended complaint retains the Plaintiff’s original $10-billion damages demand. But we disagree that the Motion’s potential futility as it pertains to this discovery issue is the kind of merits-based futility Rule 15 is primarily concerned with.”

“In any event, we think the Plaintiff’s proposed amendment will, in some respects, help the BBC,” Altman added later, explaining that Trump’s decision to drop business-related claims “represents a substantial diminution in the scope of the available damages.”

That’s even more true when you consider the new complaint “removes several contested allegations, not to mention two defendants,” and streamlines the case in a way that “allow[s] the BBC’s re-filed motion to dismiss to focus more squarely on its most important arguments,” the judge said.

Regardless, Trump faces a formidable burden as a public figure who must prove actual malice.

Trump’s team maintains that a “damning and recently leaked BBC internal whistleblower document” will help them show the BBC “intentionally used the Panorama Documentary to maliciously, falsely, and defamatorily make it seem that President Trump explicitly called for violent action and rioting.”

“[C]oncerns about the Panorama Documentary were raised internally before its dissemination, but the BBC ignored those concerns and did not take corrective action,” the complaint alleged.

The post Trump’s detour to avoid discovery of finances in own lawsuit will actually ‘help’ his opponent in a ‘substantial’ way: Judge first appeared on Law & Crime.

Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw Celebrate 50 Years: A Journey of Love, Faith, and Leaving Hollywood

As they approach the remarkable milestone of their 50th wedding anniversary, Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw offer a glimpse into the secrets of their enduring marriage, their spiritual journey, and more in a candid interview.

“Every decade, every significant moment, each birthday, and every celebration has been cherished,” Robin, who is now 72, shares exclusively with Us during a joint conversation with Dr. Phil. “Reaching this anniversary is a monumental achievement for us, and we couldn’t be prouder.”

Dr. Phil, 75, along with Robin, offered insights into the principles they’ve embraced to ensure a lasting marriage.

“Consider this: what small act can you perform today to brighten your partner’s life? These actions don’t need to be grand to make a significant impact,” he advises. “The accumulation of small gestures yields substantial outcomes over time — it’s about focusing on your partner’s needs rather than your own.”

Dr. Phil continues: “A lot of people would be well served if they got out of themselves and focused on their partner more.”

In addition to celebrating their marriage milestone, Dr. Phil and Robin are also still focused on their careers — and their philanthropic work.

“We also certainly intend to rack up some more years as being husband and wife and parents and grandparents,” Dr. Phil tells Us, while Robin adds, “Our No. 1 priority is being parents to our children and being grandparents to our grandchildren. I think a celebratory future is what we’re looking forward to.”

Keep scrolling for Dr. Phil and Robin’s candid conversation with Us about their early days as a couple, their lives now out of the spotlight and what they are looking forward to next:

How do the two of you feel as you prepare to celebrate 50 years of marriage?

Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw on 50 Years of Marriage, Faith and Hollywood Exit

Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw

Robin: I get so emotional. I hope I don’t cry through this entire process because it’s been it’s very, very beautiful time for us right now. I’ve talked about it almost for the last year because I do believe it’s a huge milestone and we’re really very proud of ourselves.

Dr. Phil: It’s overwhelming when you talk about it because I don’t feel like I’m old enough to be married 50 years. I don’t feel any different than I felt when I was 50. So how could I be married 50 years? It’s really flown by.

Take Us back to when you started dating. How did you meet?

Robin: Oh, good. I love this question.

Dr. Phil: I really wish you hadn’t asked that question.

Robin: We met because he has a sister that I went to high school with. We’re the same age, [but] we weren’t best friends. We knew each other, we really liked each other and we [crossed paths] after we graduated.

She told me she was now dating a man that is a pilot from the Air Force base in our town. She said, “He has a roommate, so why don’t I hook you up with him and we have a double date?” I go to her house to go get ready, but this pilot they’ve hooked me up with gets weathered in somewhere, so I don’t have the date.

She said, “Well, Doug and I — and she did go on to marry him, so he is now our brother-in-law — will have a quick dinner and I’ll come home. You just chill.” The last thing she said was, “Oh, but by the way, you have to be really quiet. My brother is in town and he’s been really sick.” I said, “I didn’t even know you had a brother.”

I go to the kitchen to get a bottle of water and there sits this brother in the family room. The TV is on and I walk through, and he goes, “Who are you?” So we didn’t really start off on a real friendly note, but he said, “Would you like to sit down and watch this movie with me?” I said yes and we’ve been together ever since.

Dr. Phil: I didn’t say it quite that harshly.

Robin: He was very grumpy. I actually asked him, “Are you always this grumpy and rude?”

Dr. Phil: Well, we went out the next night.

Robin: He asked me out the next night. It was our first date and we’ve been together ever since.

Did you know right away that the other person was The One?

Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw on 50 Years of Marriage, Faith and Hollywood Exit

Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw

Robin: As much grief as I’m giving him about that first night we met, it was love at first sight for me. I knew right then I was going to marry this man. I knew that first night because underneath that big bear was a teddy bear. He was rough and gruff and not very friendly, but I knew he was just a teddy bear. He was really sweet.

Dr. Phil: I was sick. What can I tell you? I had a man cold.

But I have to say that when she first came through, I thought, “Am I delirious? This doesn’t happen.” I’m just sitting here in the den and she comes walking through. I thought there’s got to be something destined here, so I did ask her out. The next night we just went walking around …

Robin: Here it comes. We’ll never agree on this part.

Dr. Phil: We walked right past the church, and just as we’re at the sidewalk that leads straight into the double door, she said, “How do you feel about marriage?” And I looked at those doors to the church and I looked at her and I thought, “You mean right now? Did you lead me here to this sidewalk to the church?” I thought, “Holy God!”

Robin: It did not happen on that first date. It happened on the third date.

Dr. Phil: Bulls***. It was the first date.

Robin: It was the third date and I was serious. I knew I was going to marry him. I needed to know how he felt about marriage because I didn’t want to waste my time or I needed to know how much work I had in front of me because I was going to marry this man.

You got engaged on Valentine’s Day and married six months later. Were you just excited to finally be husband and wife?

Dr. Phil: Apparently, we made the right decision because it’s been 50 years and we’re still together, have two grown sons and four grandchildren.

Robin: Being a grandparent has caused us to be what I call in the dessert phase of our life. It’s truly the most beautiful phase of our life. It’s like having dessert every day.

What do you remember about your wedding day?

Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw on 50 Years of Marriage, Faith and Hollywood Exit

Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw

Robin: We laugh about it now because we were very poor. We both grew up poor, but we created our wedding ceremony for ourselves. We have a wedding picture that we were looking at earlier and my wedding dress cost $100. I had to put it in layaway back then and pay $5 a week for it. He’s wearing a white tuxedo and I still kick myself, like, “Why did I put him in a white tuxedo?” I’m thinking maybe it was because it was less expensive than renting a black one.

We got married in the chapel of the church. We had a little reception where we had punch and cookies. But we couldn’t really afford a photographer, so we just had friends and family take the photos.

Does the date hold any significance?

Dr. Phil: Before we got married, I said, “Look, I’m in psychology. You can do nothing with a bachelor’s degree in psychology, you have to at least get a master’s degree so you can practice.” I said, “At least let me get my master’s degree so I can put a roof over our head.” So I got my master’s degree on August 14, 1976. We got married August 14, 1976. I didn’t waste a minute.

What about your honeymoon?

Dr. Phil: We took a honeymoon and we wound up that night in Juarez, Mexico, at Club Campestre Juarez. It was, like, a 6,000-square-foot room. It had, like, five bedrooms.

Robin: But then we got to California and part of our honeymoon was to go to The Price Is Right show and we did. We still have the little name tags that you wear. Then many years later, Philip had the honor of presenting Bob Barker …

Dr. Phil: When he retired, I was there. We didn’t get picked for contestants back in the day or we were on the list.

Have you considered having another ceremony 50 years later?

Robin: We haven’t actually thought of that. Why haven’t I put you in a beautiful black tux and bought a dress instead of putting one on layaway? But we just haven’t. We haven’t really felt like it’s necessary to do that because we’re so proud of our 50 years. We celebrate every anniversary with a wedding cake. It’s just been our tradition.

I’m really proud of that one ceremony and how it has progressed.

Dr. Phil: Her wedding dress was $100 and $315 for her wedding ring. But I see people spend millions on weddings and they last a year. We spent less than $500 bucks on everything and it’s stuck for 50 years. So pretty good Return on Investment.

What have been some of the biggest challenges you’ve navigated together?

Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw on 50 Years of Marriage, Faith and Hollywood Exit

Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw

Dr. Phil: Every relationship has challenges and it’s how much you invest in something. Probably the scariest moment in my whole life was when our second son, Jordan, was 12 and he got diagnosed with a really bizarre and rare cancer in the shin of his leg. They had to do an operation and put in artificial bone. … That was probably the most scared and helpless I’ve been in the 75 years of my life.

Robin: There’s nothing more challenging than to face an ordeal or a trauma with your children. When our first son was born, he was just 3 weeks old and he had to go in for surgery because his stomach was slowly growing shut … and he was not getting nourished.

How has your faith helped bring you even closer together during these times?

Robin: We both have a very, very strong faith and we do rely on that every day — in trauma and in joy. It’s very important to us to have our faith with us. I’ve always believed that whatever we’re going through — good or bad — it is because of God’s love. That’s part of a plan and so we question nothing.

Dr. Phil: It’s been really important to raise our boys in a faith-based home. I’ve always tried to emphasize that with both of them — through prayer and conversation — and we raised them up in the church and now they’re both fathers.

I’ve been so proud of the way they’ve stepped up and you see generational legacy carried out.

After you got married, Dr. Phil’s star was on the rise. How did you navigate that success as a couple?

Robin: I’ve always thought that Philip was brilliant, and when he had this opportunity to take on this new experience in life, I was all for it. I was thrilled. We all were because we thought you needed to share what you know and who you are with the world.

Being in the public eye obviously leads to outside opinions. What is the biggest misconception people who don’t know you have about you as a couple?

Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw on 50 Years of Marriage, Faith and Hollywood Exit

Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw

Dr. Phil: It’s not fun for anybody, but I’ve never been one of those people that needs to be loved by strangers. It doesn’t mean that you don’t notice it, but we’ve had so many stories written about us. I was identified as a marriage and family [specialist] and all that kind of stuff. There were probably 50 to 100 stories written about us getting a divorce. And here we are, 50 years married. We’ve never even been separated. We’ve never even spoken the D-word in our lives. Never, ever, for even one second.

Robin: The only time I’ve been to a courthouse is because I was the national spokesperson for CASA [Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children]. But for me to go to the courthouse was not ever because of this man.

The only problem with it for me was the photos they would choose to use. It was like, “Can I not get a good photo? Do they have to pick these photos?” I’ll never forget the one time I got a good photo, I made the best dinner that night.

What would the outside world be most surprised about when it comes to you as individuals and your marriage? What does a typical Friday night look like for you?

Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw on 50 Years of Marriage, Faith and Hollywood Exit

Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw

Robin: A Friday night for us is he works really hard all day. He plays tennis in the evenings and we have a tennis court in our backyard in our Dallas home. He’ll come in and we order food that we enjoy from a restaurant in town — I don’t cook anymore. I cooked for 40 years and I don’t cook that much anymore.

But he has the food apps on his phone. He’s tried to put them on my phone, but I refuse because I don’t want to be responsible for getting the food that we’re going to eat in the evening. He has to do that.

Dr. Phil: We really enjoy our home. We have friends that we love to spend time with and we love being home alone too. We stay busy, but we’re pretty much homebodies. We still have our home in Beverly Hills and we have a home here in Texas. But you’ve never seen us on a lot of red carpets because that’s just not something we really do. We’re always invited and we graciously decline.

If we go out, we may go nowhere.

What about for your anniversary?

Robin: He is taking me to Paris for our anniversary.

Dr. Phil: Well, the pressure is on. It’s been 50 years. But we enjoy each other’s company and we enjoy being at home. Right now we have a cat farm after we actually started feeding some community cats around here. At one point, we had 16 cats coming over to get fed.

Then we realized this is going to get out of control. So we captured them all and had them all spayed or neutered. But we’ve got, like, five cat dishes in a row outside and water. We have to put heaters out there in the winter to keep them warm and fans out.

And you are still working?

Dr. Phil: Yes. Everything now is moving so much in the digital direction. I have a linear network, Envoy TV, but you know, everything is moving so much in the digital direction, so we’re very active on all the streamers. It’s just growing so fast. I thought that it would go well. I had no idea it would go as well as it’s going. So it’s just been amazing.

Robin, what has been the best part of joining your husband on this professional venture?

Robin: I’ve always said I was there to support him and the entire show, so I didn’t really have a role there. I wasn’t some expert that was a part of the show. I really went there as a support for him. So if I was on the show, it was because I was just there as a woman, a wife, a mother, a grandmother. So if I contributed in any way, it was so that I could just be myself.

Dr. Phil: I think she’s really understating her role. A big part of my demo has always been women — mothers and wives — and Robin has always been my feminine side. She has been one of the most important voices and ambassadors in fighting domestic violence from the standpoint of women and children. So to say she didn’t really have a role other than just kind of be there to cheer me on, there are a lot of people — including me — that would disagree with that. She has played a vital role in developing the Dr. Phil brand and making sure that it was balanced from the feminine side and being a leading voice in the fight against domestic violence.

Dr. Phil, after spending your career helping couples, is there one piece of insight you picked up?

Dr. Phil: [Going back to Robin’s advocacy], the opportunity to take her wisdom forward and share it with others is what makes it all worthwhile. Robin has been a vital part of that and I’ve learned from it. That’s why I’m not quitting.

I feel like I have things left to say and I hope when people look at us — we don’t hold ourselves out as some paragon of mental health or marital bliss — but I do think having gotten together and stayed together for 50 years and raised kids that went through it all and became good fathers and husbands, it’s maybe a place for people to look and say, “You can do this, and you can make it pay off. And there is a light at the end of the tunnel.”

I hope we can be good role models in that regard. Not that we’re perfect, because we’re not. We don’t strive for perfection. But I hope that we give people some hope that there’s something out there to strive for.

You are still just as booked and busy.

Dr. Phil: My career … I get to do it. I don’t have to do it. It’s not something I have to do. So I look forward to it every day. And Robin supported me in everything I’ve ever done. That’s no small deal. That is no small deal to have a partner that supports you in everything you do.

If you could go back and give your younger selves one piece of relationship advice, what would it be?

Robin: The advice I would give to my younger self is probably not [to] carry into what worked in my childhood, expecting it to work in my marriage. I was a bit spoiled or pampered growing up. So pouting worked for me. If I didn’t get my way or didn’t get what I wanted, I just pouted and my father would give in right away.

I thought it would work with my husband and it did not work with him. He just couldn’t tolerate it. He said, “If I do or say something that upsets you — within reason — I promise you that if you just tell me, I will never do it again.”

Dr. Phil: I would tell myself to be more patient, because patience is not my strong suit. Professionally, I am patient. Personally, I don’t have patience. I want everything done right now. I would be more patient and I would probably be more outgoing because I’m very, very shy.

People often ask about the “secret” to a lasting marriage. Is there something you try to implement in your marriage?

Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw on 50 Years of Marriage, Faith and Hollywood Exit

Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw

Dr. Phil: In a marriage, you get out of it what you put into it. If you wake up every day and say, “What can I do today to make her life better?” It doesn’t have to be buy[ing] her a new car or send[ing] her flowers.

Like, there are certain things — and I don’t know if it matters as much to her as it does to me. But there’s something about her sitting in front of dirty dishes. I think she should have better than that. So I will clear those away if I go by and see it. That would just make things better if she had a nice clear space.

Robin: A secret that I truly believe has worked for 50 years is we had a lot of conversations before we got married about what kind of marriage we wanted to have. We got really vulnerable and we got real. In those conversations, I learned what buttons I could push to upset him or make him mad. I learned those buttons and I choose every day for 50 years not to push those buttons. I [made] a choice every day for 50 years not to do that.

Dr. Phil: I came from a very dysfunctional family — [an] incredibly dysfunctional family. So I just like peace.

Robin: So when you know what’s going to upset your partner and you do it anyway, that’s not good. I know what makes him happy and I choose to do that.

Coi Leray has lit up the New Year with an exciting revelation: she is expecting her first child.

The 27-year-old star, celebrated for her track “Players” and known for her stunning Catwoman ensemble last Halloween, will be welcoming a baby with fellow rapper Trippie Redd, who is 25.

Leray took to Instagram, where she boasts 7.6 million followers, to share her news. On January 1, she posted, “I’m a rock star mommy. we ready for 2025,” signaling her enthusiasm for the journey ahead.

Her announcement was accompanied by a carousel of photos, showcasing two intimate shots with her boyfriend. The couple rekindled their romance in August 2024, after having a previous romantic stint back in 2019.

The two had previously briefly dated in 2019. 

In a pair of outtakes, Coi wore a pair of baggy Chrome Hearts jeans with the brand’s cross logo embroidered in black.

She added a lacy black and beige bra top while showing off her growing belly.

The star’s long, jet black hair was styled in a side part as it tumbled over her chest.

Trippie, real name Michael Lamar White IV, looked excited as he cozied up to his girlfriend in an all-black outfit.

His shoulder-length, locked, bright red hair spilled around his face as he cradled his lady’s bump.

Coi, who in the past has been teased over her tiny frame. also shared a POV picture of her bump via Instagram Stories, writing, ‘I’m over 4 months. I’m just small as hell of course.’ 

This will be each of the performer’s first child, despite White previously announcing that he had fathered a son in late 2023.

After taking two paternity tests, he later learned that the child was not his, according to a report from TMZ. 

The news was accompanied by a carousel of images, including two loved-up snapshots with her boyfriend, who she rekindled with in August 2024

Over a year ago the rap artist announced online that he had become a father, naming the child Saint Michael White.

Additionally, he released an EP named after the baby.

He even went as far as cancelling a tour in order to spend time with the newborn.

But by April 2024, Trippie unveiled the truth of the matter during a conversation with fellow hip-hop star DDG, who had recently welcomed a child with his now-ex, singer Halle Bailey.

Redd revealed that he took the DNA test at the urging of his mother, who had a hunch that something wasn’t right.

Martha Stewart’s $50 Cooling Sheets on Amazon Promise a Refreshingly Restful Sleep

Who doesn’t appreciate a refreshing night’s sleep? Indeed, it’s something we all crave.

As the sweltering summer heat relentlessly lingers, finding ways to stay cool is a real priority. That’s why when the Martha Stewart Cooling Sheet Set appeared on Amazon with discounts as steep as 46%, it definitely piqued our interest.

Crafted from cotton percale, this bedding isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about functionality too. The sheets offer a natural cooling effect, they’re breathable and gentle on the skin, all while being free from any harsh chemicals. Martha Stewart herself likens them to the feel of a “crisp button-down shirt.”

Numerous reviewers have been so enamored that they’re purchasing the sheets in multiple sets. One long-time enthusiast shared, “I’ve been a fan of these sheets for years,” delightedly adding, “They just get softer with each use and never pill.”

Another satisfied buyer exclaimed, “These sheets are incredibly soft!” After washing and drying them before use, they noticed no shrinkage. They marveled at the continued softness, declaring, “I’m definitely buying them again!”

A third concurred about the quality, simply saying: “You always get a better quality product offered by Martha Stewart.” (Having tried her skin care line, we’d have to agree on that.)

The cooling sheet sets aren’t the only Stewart-branded home designs on sale right now, as we also spied great discounts on the below bedding and bath finds — plus plenty of the company’s cookware.
