Unlocking Opportunities: A New AI Business That No One Knows! TikTok Automation

0

In the vast landscape of emerging AI businesses, a hidden gem awaits discovery – TikTok automation. This innovative venture, discussed by a few, holds the potential to generate up to $100 per day. The beauty of this opportunity lies in its accessibility – anyone, anywhere in the world, can embark on this journey without the need for an Etsy account, a Mid Journey subscription, or prior experience. Armed only with your smartphone, you can harness the power of Invideo AI to transform simple lines of text into custom videos. But that’s not all; alongside this novel business idea, you’ll also learn the art of creating trending YouTube videos effortlessly. Join me as we explore the gold mine of opportunities in this video.

## Unveiling Tik Tok Automation

Curious about what TikTok automation entails? Let me share my discovery. While casually scrolling through TikTok, I stumbled upon an account that specializes in uploading spiritual videos. At first glance, it may seem ordinary, but trust me, there’s more than meets the eye. This account, in my confident estimation, consistently rakes in hundreds of dollars. How is this possible? The answers will unfold as we progress in this video. First, let’s delve into Invideo AI, the tool that will drive this business and streamline the video creation process.

## Invideo AI: Your Creative Ally

So, what exactly is Invideo AI? Picture this – create a YouTube short narrating the incredible journey of space exploration. Make it epic, using a deep Australian male voiceover. In 1957, our cosmic sojourn began with the Soviet satellite Sputnik breaching our atmosphere. Invideo AI functions similarly, turning your ideas into visually stunning videos with just a simple prompt. But hold on, there’s more to it. Add subtitles, tweak the music volume, or switch the voiceover to a British female voice – all with a few words. The possibilities are astounding, and we’ve only scratched the surface. Stay tuned, as I’ll guide you through starting a TikTok automation business using this powerful tool.

### Getting Started with Invideo AI

To access Invideo AI, follow the link in the description. Create a free account, and you’ll land on a user-friendly dashboard. The central element is a text box where you input prompts. For a basic start, you can type something like “Create a 2-minute video about cats,” and Invideo AI takes care of script planning, voiceover, and video creation.

However, for professional-quality videos, a more detailed prompt is key. As you continue watching, I’ll share my prompt formula for optimal results. In the dropdown menu, select a workflow – YouTube Shorts, YouTube Explainer, recent events video, or script to video. Each requires specific information, essential for understanding the Tik Tok automation business we’ll explore later.

## Crafting Engaging Videos: A Step-by-Step Guide

Let’s consider creating a YouTube explainer, an excellent choice for a faceless YouTube channel. Specify the video duration (e.g., 10 minutes) and provide detailed information about the video. For instance, create a video about “Nine Crazy Facts About Cats.” Be creative in defining the overall look – start with a captivating fact, ensure humor, engagement, and dynamism, and end with a question for audience interaction.

Customization continues with background music and voiceover settings. Select the music type, gender, and accent for the voiceover. Subtitles are optional but add a layer of engagement. After hitting ‘Continue,’ the magic begins as Invideo AI transforms your detailed prompt into a video. Want to customize further? Invideo AI allows you to tweak various elements, from audience selection to the video’s look and feel.

### Editing Made Easy

Not satisfied with a specific part? Invideo AI simplifies edits. Use the text box underneath the video to request changes or click ‘Edit’ for more comprehensive options. You can modify media, script, or even export to the timeline for detailed edits and full customization (currently in the alpha stage).

## Elevate Your Videos: Paid Plans and Advanced Features

While Invideo AI offers a free option, upgrading to a paid plan (starting at $20 a month) unlocks a range of features crucial for serious video creation and the TikTok automation business. Unlimited exports, high-resolution videos, and access to premium footage – these elements enhance the quality of your content.

## Viral Content Creation: Recent Events Video Workflow

Invideo AI’s recent events video workflow adds another layer to your content creation arsenal. Use an article link as a reference, and within minutes, you have a trending video. Explore the world of artificial intelligence or any niche that aligns with trending topics.

## The TikTok Automation Business Model

Now, the big question – how does the TikTok account, seemingly simple yet monetarily successful, operate? The answer lies in affiliate product promotion. By examining the account’s bio, we find links to popular ClickBank products like Soulmate Sketch and Wealth DNA Code. With multiple accounts in the same niche, they consistently promote these products in their videos, some of which have garnered millions of views. The simplicity of the videos is the key, but I’ll show you how to leverage Invideo AI for even better results.

### Getting Started with TikTok Automation

Starting your TikTok automation business is a step-by-step process. Begin by selecting an affiliate product – platforms like ClickBank or Digistore offer diverse options. Create a TikTok account, and the real fun begins – content creation. Brainstorm video ideas, and here are three methods to help you:

1. **Chat GPT Ideation**: Use Chat GPT to generate video ideas for your niche. For example, if it suggests “Dog Health Tips,” copy the idea and head to Invideo AI.

2. **Article Inspiration**: Find articles related to your niche. Copy the link, go to Invideo AI, select the YouTube shorts workflow, and use the article as a reference.

3. **Prompt Formula**: Embrace a detailed prompt formula for optimal results. Specify the duration, platform, topic, voiceover and script style, background music, and any additional information. For instance:

Cheerleader’s Tragic Death Linked to Energy Drink, According to Lawsuit

0

The devastated family of a promising cheerleader from Texas has filed a lawsuit against a well-known energy drink manufacturer, alleging that their seemingly healthy teenage daughter died suddenly after consuming the company’s beverage, which they argue posed a significant safety risk.

On Wednesday, attorneys representing the Rodriguez family initiated a wrongful death lawsuit against Alani Nu, an energy drink distributor. This legal action comes in the wake of the tragic passing of their 17-year-old daughter, Larissa, in October.

Larissa was an accomplished student at Weslaco High School, holding positions such as Student Council President and co-captain of the Varsity Cheer Team. She had aspirations of attending the University of Texas at Austin to pursue a career in law.

The lawsuit, as reported by the San Antonio Express-News, alleges that Larissa’s untimely death resulted from an enlarged heart, which was purportedly caused by prolonged caffeine intake from Alani’s products.

The family’s lawyers emphasized that Larissa had no pre-existing health conditions, there was no familial history of heart problems, and she abstained from drugs and alcohol.

‘She was healthy. She had a bright future,’ an attorney said. ‘And her life was cut short.’

The lawsuit said that Larissa purchased at least one Alani Nu Energy Drink from an H-E-B store shortly before her death, before suffering a fatal cardiac event.

Texas distributor Glazer’s Beer and Beverage were also named in the filing, which, the attorney claims, supplied the drink to H-E-B stores where Larissa purchased the beverage.

Lawyers claim that Alani Nu targeted young women while failing to provide adequate warnings they say might have prevented the teen’s death.

‘We filed this lawsuit here in Idalgo County because this product we’re claiming was designed, marketed, and had inadequate warnings about the serious cardiac risks that this product brings,’ attorney Benny Agosto said on behalf of the late teen’s family.

‘You know, it’s promoted as a better-for-you wellness beverage. And it’s heavily advertising young consumers through social media.’

An Alani Nu energy drink contains 200 milligrams of caffeine, which exceeds the recommended daily limit for adolescents, according to the University of Michigan.

Additionally, the lawsuit claimed that the only warning is in small text on the back of the can.

‘The only cautionary language on the can — “Not recommended for children under 18, those sensitive to caffeine, pregnant or nursing women” — is printed in small, inconspicuous text that is easily overlooked and wholly inadequate to warn consumers of the serious risks of cardiac injury and death,’ noted the filing cited by KTLA5.

Attorneys said that she had no prior health conditions and did not have any history of substance abuse

Lawyers believe that Larissa’s death is just one of many cases caused by the energy drink.

‘We’ve seen other people, we now start digging through experts and folks in the industry, that there are young people, primarily women, from their teenage years all the way into their early 30s, who are using and drinking and using this product, and they’re getting sick,’ Agosto said.

‘It’s heart problems. It’s liver problems. It’s kidney problems. It’s headaches. It’s all kinds of problems. And none of it is being warned.’

The Rodriguez family is seeking $1million in damages.

According to the Express-News, the case is expected to proceed while lawyers search for further evidence during the court process.

The Daily Mail has reached out to Alani Nu and Glazer’s Beer and Beverage for comment.

Family of Afghan Man Allegedly Killed by War Hero Ben Roberts-Smith Breaks Silence

0

In Brief

  • Ben Roberts-Smith is facing charges for the alleged murders of unarmed civilians while deployed in Afghanistan between 2009 and 2012.
  • He remains in custody and is due to face court in June.

A relative of two Afghan men, who were reportedly killed by Ben Roberts-Smith or on his command, has expressed relief that the former soldier will be held accountable for their deaths.

Mohammed Essa and his son Ahmadullah lost their lives during a 2009 raid conducted by Australian special forces at a compound known as Whiskey 108, located in Uruzgan Province.

This week, Roberts-Smith was charged with five counts of the war crime of murder. He is accused of fatally shooting Ahmadullah, who had a prosthetic leg, in the back. Additionally, Mohammed Essa was allegedly executed under the orders of Roberts-Smith, a recipient of the Victoria Cross.

Although Roberts-Smith, 47, has not yet entered pleas in response to these charges, he has consistently and vehemently denied any wrongdoing.

Subsequent photographs surfaced showing Roberts-Smith and other soldiers using Ahmadullah’s prosthetic leg as a drinking vessel, treating it as a trophy.

Speaking to SBS News from Afghanistan, Esmatullah — the brother and son of the alleged victims — said he was relieved Roberts-Smith had been charged.

“Of course I’m happy,” he said via a translator.

“It’s a relief he’s been caught.”

Esmatullah, who was 10 at the time of his father’s and brother’s deaths, said he wished he could face Roberts-Smith in person but knew it was “not possible”.

“As it stands, we cannot reach him to face him directly,” he said.

“When someone is caught, they should be brought face-to-face so the truth comes out and we can distinguish the guilty from the innocent.”

Esmatullah said the investigation and subsequent charges had “dragged on too long”.

“I only ask that he be properly investigated and that the questioning and investigation process be carried out as soon as possible,” he said.

Roberts-Smith, who is Australia’s most decorated living soldier, was arrested and charged on Tuesday before his case was briefly mentioned at the Downing Centre Local Court the following day.

He did not apply for bail and the case was re-listed for 4 June, meaning he will remain in custody for at least two months.

Roberts-Smith is facing charges for the alleged murders of unarmed civilians while deployed in Afghanistan between 2009 and 2012.

It’s alleged three victims were shot by subordinate members of the Australian Defence Force, in the presence of, and acting on the orders of Roberts-Smith.

Roberts-Smith is the second Australian soldier to be charged with a war crime, with the possibility that others will also face charges.

Jail Chief Unveils Disturbing Characteristic of Gilgo Beach Killer, Differentiating Him from Notorious Criminals Like John Gotti

0

Suffolk County Sheriff Errol Toulon has encountered a wide array of notorious figures, from the infamous mobster John Gotti to ruthless gang members and those who have killed police officers. Yet, none have unsettled him quite like Rex Heuermann.

After four decades of overseeing some of the most dangerous individuals, Toulon is currently tasked with monitoring the notorious Long Island serial killer until Heuermann is transferred to a state facility in June. Speaking to The Post, Toulon described the distinct unease he feels around the towering 6-foot-4 criminal.

“Throughout my career, I’ve come across many notorious individuals,” Toulon remarked. “Names like John Gotti, [cop killer] Larry Davis, the quartet responsible for Eddie Burns’ death, [accused subway vigilante] Bernhard Goetz, [disgraced lawyer] Joel Steinberg, and [Preppy Killer] Robert Chambers come to mind.

“I could meet their gaze,” Toulon explained. “But with this individual, there’s something different. He exudes a calculating aura. That’s the best way to describe it. He converses, yet there’s a constant sense that he’s assessing you. Every time I enter the room, he sizes me up.”

Heuermann reportedly spends the majority of his time confined to his cell at the Suffolk County jail, according to Toulon.

He said the Massapequa Park killer is kept in “voluntary isolation” to prevent other inmates from seeking “jailhouse justice” — killing him to make a name for themselves behind bars.

Heuermann, who strangled and dismembered eight sex works between 1993 and 2010, takes solitary walks around the jailhouse yard and routinely checks out books from the law library at the lockup, and also gets mental health and religious faith visits while in the jail — but nothing more, Toulon said.

“I never seen anything like this, where he would sit on his bunk or he would lay on his bunk so calmly,” he said. “You know, sometimes you get some hardcore gang members that want to try and prove that they’re tough. You know, been there done that guys. But definitely I’ve never seen a look like this in my 44 years.”

Toulon started his career in 1982 as a New York City correction officer, and has kept tabs on a who’s who of famous bad boys over the years, including the Gambino “Teflon Don.”

“You know, they’re all polite,” he said. “Gotti was very polite.”

But asked if he was scared of Heuermann, Toulon shot back, “Hell no!

“He’s different, but I’ve had some tough battles and fights on Rikers,” he said. “I don’t think this guy wants to fight a guy. I really don’t. He just likes to abuse women.”

Yusef Jackson has been with Rainbow PUSH as Chief Operating Officer for the past two years, bringing his experience and dedication to his new role.

Jacqueline Jackson, the late Reverend’s wife, commented on the transition, saying, “This moment is both solemn and pivotal for our organization. Before his passing, my husband endorsed this leadership transition, entrusting Yusef with the responsibility to continue his life’s mission. While we mourn his loss, we celebrate his enduring legacy. I have complete confidence that Yusef, along with Rainbow PUSH’s leadership team, will continue to mobilize communities for justice with strength and purpose.”

Inside Tehran: Iranian Woman Shares Harrowing Experience Amidst Strikes, Checkpoints, and Human Shield Tactics

0

An Iranian woman, choosing to remain anonymous, has courageously shared insights on the current situation in Tehran, as President Donald Trump’s two-week ceasefire with Iran cautiously commenced on Tuesday.

In her essay featured in The Australian, she paints a vivid picture of the nightly explosions, numerous checkpoints, and communications outages that have become the norm in Iran since the United States and Israel began their operations in February.

“In essence, civilians have been transformed into human shields amidst an expansive militarized environment,” she explained, noting that “a widespread feeling of anger, paranoia, and fatigue has gripped the population.”

The Iranian regime’s blatant public executions of thousands of protesters in January prompted citizens to initially welcome the strikes from U.S. and Israeli forces when Operation Epic Fury was launched on February 28.

“They say they’ve hit the leader’s residence,” the author’s daughter was quoted saying. “All the children were screaming and cheering. … Even our teacher was quietly snapping their fingers and dancing.”

The author described everyday Iranians celebrating the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei that same Saturday, and the streets of Tehran filling with cheers of “death to the dictator.”

“Perhaps for the first time,” the anonymous author recalled, “we allowed ourselves to believe our long-held dream was beginning to take shape.”

But soon enough, the reality of day-to-day life under a threatened, crumbling regime and ongoing attacks took a toll. One of the harshest realities those on the ground in Iran face is the internet blackout, effectively ending communications with the outside world and leading to great uncertainty at the hands of the regime.

“So far, none of those close to us have suffered physical harm, but no night is calm,” the Iranian woman wrote. “What weighs most heavily is not only the war itself, but the possibility that it may end leaving behind a regime even more authoritarian, more repressive and more violent.”

According to the author, a stubborn faction of regime supporters remain, blasting propaganda on loudspeakers nightly through the streets of Tehran and reinforcing its authority to those who support the revolution.

“The streets are now covered with checkpoints,” she wrote. “Under bridges and along main roads, movement is restricted. Long traffic lines form. Young people are stopped, their phones inspected under the pretext of routine checks.”

After the announcement of the ceasefire between U.S. forces and the Iranian regime Tuesday, the author said, most of her country went to sleep that night in a “state of deep anxiety.”

“What weighs most heavily is not only the war itself, but the possibility that it may end up leaving behind a regime even more authoritarian, more repressive, and more violent,” the author notes.

She urged a ceasefire that is not “abandonment,” but peace, destabilizing the Iranian regime.

“A ceasefire that stabilizes the current order, without addressing the demands that have brought Iranians into the streets for years, risks being experienced not as peace, but as abandonment,” the author wrote.

Negotiations between Iran and the U.S. are scheduled to begin Friday in Pakistan.

“We wait, and we continue, in whatever ways possible, to insist that light will eventually overcome this darkness,” she concluded.

The Australian notes the author remains anonymous for “fear of retribution.”

Jacksonville Sheriff Takes Action: Off-Duty Arrest at Local Hardware Store Highlights Commitment to Public Safety

0


Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters took swift action at a neighborhood hardware store following reports of a shoplifting incident, as confirmed by the sheriff’s office.

In JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Sheriff T.K. Waters personally apprehended a suspect on Wednesday afternoon after a shoplifting alert at a local home improvement store.

According to a social media video posted by Sheriff Waters, he was at the Home Depot on Atlantic Boulevard near Girvin Road to pick up a table when the situation escalated.

While engaged in conversation with Clem Nieto, a retired Robbery Detective from the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, they were interrupted by a store employee reporting an ongoing theft.

“A staff member approached me and asked, ‘Sir, can you help us with a theft in progress?’ I responded, ‘Of course.’ I then quickly headed to the parking lot and there he was,” Sheriff Waters recounted to First Coast News on Thursday.

The sheriff said the suspect, who’s now been identified as 40-year-old Raymond Pena Jr., was trying to leave the store with about $500 worth of merchandise he hadn’t paid for.

“He’s saying ‘I didn’t do anything’ and he’s walking away,” said Waters.

When they reached out to grab the suspect, he pulled away and started running. Waters and Nieto followed.

“We ran, and he went to the grass at the edge of the parking lot,” he said.

Nieto tripped and fell and Waters continued in the pursuit, according to the sheriff. 

The foot chase continued through the parking lot into a grassy area where Waters was able to get him to the ground and get leverage while the suspect struggled to get away.

“I could get him down to the ground without really hurting him, so I shoved him in the back,” Sheriff Waters said. “I got on top of him to try to gain control, get him handcuffed. He fought, flaying and trying to get up, saying ‘I didn’t do anything.’”

Waters was able to get the suspect into handcuffs and proceeded to take him into custody. 

“I mean, you cant come and steal and me be there and not expect me to come catch you,” he said.

Pena has been charged with theft and resisting. He also had two active warrants for theft.

Sheriff Waters told First Coast News even after years on the job, instincts like these never go away.

“I’ve been doing this for a very long time and you just don’t work it out of your system,” he said, “It doesn’t go away, so when someone asks for help the instinct is to go do it, and that’s what it was.”

Vigilantes Take Matters Into Their Own Hands, Damage Stolen Ute with Baseball Bats

Vigilantes in Queensland‘s southeast have taken the law into their own hands, bashing their own ute with baseball bats after it was stolen.
As the thief tried to get away, he inadvertently reversed through the front fence of a family home in Logan.

A utility vehicle was stolen from a worksite in Yeronga, prompting its owners to take matters into their own hands by attempting to locate it themselves.

After a determined search lasting three hours, they finally spotted the suspected thief driving the vehicle on a street in Rochedale South around 9:30 p.m.

Surveillance footage captures the dramatic scene as the owners rammed their own ute before aggressively striking it with baseball bats in an effort to reclaim their property from the thief.

“That’s my car! He stole our car!” one of the men shouted, as he furiously attacked the vehicle’s doors, mirrors, and windows.

The attack on their own ute lasted three minutes, before the driver fled.

The intense confrontation lasted roughly three minutes. During this time, the thief managed to escape but not without causing additional damage by reversing through the front fence of Danielle and Craig Mason’s residence.

“A number of hours earlier, my son could have been reversed over playing in the front yard,” Chris said.

“What’s the world come to?”

The driver still hasn’t been found despite a large police search, but the Mason family are more upset with the vigilantes than the thief himself.

“I was mostly angry about the vigilantes’ chase, because I think that that’s what created heaps more chaos and violence and damage than the guy stealing the car,” Danielle said.

“Which is obviously wrong, but I just don’t think we should take it into our own hands. Just leave it to the police.”

South Carolina Officials Alert Public to Lethal Risks of New Drug Even in Tiny Doses


SOUTH CAROLINA – Authorities in South Carolina have raised the alarm over a new and dangerous synthetic opioid, cychlorphine, that has recently been detected within the state.

Attorney General Alan Wilson highlighted on Wednesday the troubling trend of synthetic opioids, like cychlorphine, being manufactured abroad, often in places like China, before being smuggled into the United States by drug cartels.

“This substance is nothing short of poison,” Wilson stated emphatically. “We’re witnessing a concerted effort by foreign adversaries and drug cartels to inundate our communities with these lethal drugs. Their only objective is profit, regardless of the lives lost in the process. It’s crucial for parents to grasp the severity of this issue and discuss it with their children immediately. One misstep, one exposure, could be deadly. We are committed to utilizing every available resource to combat this threat and safeguard families across South Carolina.”

Wilson further explained that these synthetic drugs are engineered to be exceptionally potent, highly addictive, and challenging to detect. Often, they are clandestinely mixed with other substances, putting users at risk of an unexpected and potentially fatal outcome.

South Carolina officials have expressed grave concerns about the public safety threat posed by cychlorphine. Even minimal exposure can lead to overdose or death, and its constantly changing chemical structure complicates detection by conventional methods.

The Attorney General’s Office asked all residents to:

  • Avoid any unknown or illicit substances
  • Parents: talk to your children about the dangers of synthetic drugs and the reality that a single exposure could be fatal
  • Report suspicious activity to local law enforcement
  • Seek help immediately if you or someone you know is struggling with substance abuse

The Attorney General’s Office said they it will continue working with state, local, and federal partners to combat the flow of these drugs, hold traffickers accountable, and keep this poison out of communities.

Jesse Wood and MIC Star Welcome New Addition: Fearne Cotton’s Ex to Become a Father Again

Jesse Wood is set to welcome a new addition to his family as he and his girlfriend, Gemma Gregory, are expecting a baby. This exciting news comes just 16 months after Jesse’s separation from broadcaster Fearne Cotton.

The 49-year-old musician and the 40-year-old Made In Chelsea alum shared their joyous announcement with fans via an Instagram post on Thursday.

Gemma showed off her blossoming baby bump in a crop top in a shot captioned ‘incoming’, before sharing another sweet snap with Jesse captioned ‘made by these muppets’. 

Gemma already has an 11-year-old son from a previous relationship, while Jesse is a father to two children with Fearne, as well as two with his first wife, Tilly Wood.

This baby announcement might catch some fans off guard, particularly as Jesse recently opened up about facing financial difficulties following his divorce from Fearne.

Jesse, who is the son of legendary Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood, recently shed light on his challenges when he appeared in court for a speeding charge in January.

The father-of-four candidly revealed how he was living on barely £1,000 a month and struggling for work since the breakdown of his 10-year marriage to broadcaster Fearne.

He told magistrates after admitting speeding on the A4 in West London: ‘I was due to be employed in 2024 but it got delayed.

‘At the moment I’m living off my savings and I am looking to get employment.’

Company accounts also show that his business is deeply in the red and burdened with mounting debts.

Rekognition Sound Limited – of which Jesse is the sole director and shareholder – has just £10,943 in its bank accounts while owing £111,903 to creditors. Of that sum, £37,352 relates to bank loans.

Most recent accounts, covering the 12 months to the end of November 2024, show the company is £101,562 in the red – a sharp increase from £56,211 the previous year. 

Despite his famous rock-and-roll lineage, Jesse also appears to have no property safety net to fall back on.

His former marital home in Richmond, south-west London, is registered solely in Fearne’s name, meaning he has no legal claim to the £3.15million house she purchased in 2014.

The former couple share two children, son Rex, 12, and daughter Honey, nine.

Born into rock royalty, Jesse followed in his father’s footsteps by pursuing a career in music, carving out a living as a guitarist and working with various bands and projects over the years.

He has been a sometime guitarist for rock band Reef, as well as working behind the scenes on music-related ventures.

But whereas his father is worth £100million and lives in a £3million townhouse in Richmond, Jesse’s own business interests have faltered.

In October 2025 he stood down as a director of Reef Band LLP, which channels cash from royalties and live performances. The last accounts for the partnership showed it was £710 in the red.

He had also previously resigned as a director of Tribe Festivals in 2022.

Jesse’s financial plight emerged publicly as he faced a possible driving ban, having already accumulated nine penalty points for previous speeding offences.

In court, he disclosed that his most recent tax return showed a ‘very low’ annual income of around £14,000.

Jesse was handed a six-month driving ban and ordered to pay £255 in fines after his vehicle was clocked driving at 27mph in a 20mph zone.

The revelations about California-born Jesse’s finances came amid a new chapter in his personal life as he moved on from radio DJ Fearne.

Fearne was his second wife, following a previous marriage to Katherine ‘Tilly’ Boone, 52, with whom he also has two adult children.

As Jesse shared his baby news, Fearne also shared a personal update, albeit less dramatic, as she showed off her new lighter blonde locks.

He went public with reality star Gemma last April, when she posted a sun-soaked photo of Jesse, captioned: ‘Bloody love this one.’

Insiders said at the time that their relationship progressed quickly following the shock collapse of Jesse’s decade-long marriage in December 2024, followed by Fearne’s new relationship with Elliot Hegarty, a television director ten years her senior.

Ronnie Wood’s ex-wife Jo Wood, who helped raise Jesse, said of the split from Fearne last year: ‘I was shocked actually. I didn’t expect Fearne to have a new boyfriend. And Jesse was devastated.

‘But sometimes in life, you have to go through these things. It may be daunting at first, but every cloud has a silver lining. Nothing lasts forever. I hope Fearne will be very happy.

‘I’m sure Jesse’s going to be very happy. These things work out. Their time was up – they had to move on.’

Gemma is the London-born daughter of actor Paul Gregory, whose past boyfriends include Henry Brett, a captain of the England polo team.

Jesse, who previously dated the likes of Kate Moss, Kate Hudson and model Jasmine Guinness, has not spoken publicly in detail about his split from Fearne.

She, however, addressed it during an appearance on Lorraine last March, saying: ‘It’s all very amicable and the kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.’

Keaton Wagler’s Jersey to Be Celebrated with Special Honor at State Farm Center


CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WCIA) – Keaton Wagler, a standout guard for the University of Illinois, has etched his name into the history books of Illini basketball.

Wagler has made history by becoming the first freshman in the program’s history to be recognized as a Consensus All-American. He achieved this remarkable feat by being named a second-team All-American by all four major national publications that announce postseason awards.

This significant accomplishment has set the stage for the Shawnee, Kansas native to achieve the honor of having his jersey commemorated at the State Farm Center.

On Thursday, Illinois Athletics confirmed that Wagler will be inducted into the Illinois Basketball Honored Jerseys program at the State Farm Center, solidifying his place among the program’s elite.

Wagler will join the ranks of other notable players from the Brad Underwood era, including Kofi Cockburn, Ayo Dosunmu, and Terrence Shannon Jr., who have also had their jerseys raised to the rafters at the State Farm Center.

Wagler averaged 17.9 points per game in his first year of college hoops, a monumental rise after not being ranked in the top 100 in his class by major recruiting sites out of high school. He is the first Consensus All-American at Illinois since Kofi Cockburn in 2022.

Wagler, a projected NBA lottery pick by several national outlets, has not yet announced his future plans.
