Former NFL star’s wife slams critics’ claims that she gave her daughters ‘boy names’
Former Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Jason Kelce shares four daughters with wife Kylie. The Super Bowl champion has been candid about his and Kylie’s experiences parenting girls.
But their willingness to bring some aspects of their personal lives to the public has, at times, given online critics the opportunity to share their opinions — even in cases when they were not asked for.
During a recent edition of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast, Kylie addressed the topic of her children’s names.

Kylie took issue with the line of questioning that asserted her daughters were given “boy names.” She described the question as “rage bait.”
KYLIE KELCE WARNS COWBOYS FANS WHO TRICK-OR-TREAT AT HER HOUSE: ‘RAISE YOUR KIDS RIGHT’
“This next question appears to be pure rage bait. ‘What’s with the boy names?’ I’ll tell you what’s with the boys’ names,” Kelce said. “We, my husband and I, liked gender-neutral names for our daughters.”
Jason’s and Kylie’s daughters are named Wyatt, 6; Elliotte, 4; Bennett, 2; and Finn, 7 months. Kylie added that the name Wyatt was selected before she or Jason learned the gender.
Kylie made it clear that she was not seeking out unsolicited opinions about the names she and Jason settled on for their children.
“The part that I take issue with on people having issue with our names is that I actually didn’t ask. I didn’t ask what you thought about my kids’ names. My husband and I agreed on the names. We like them. You, honestly, you should try naming a human being. It’s not easy. And so, yeah, I’m good.”
During a recent episode of the “New Heights” podcast, which Jason co-hosts with his brother Travis Kelce, the 38-year-old former NFL star revealed he is often in sync with his wife when it comes to disciplining their children.
“We’re on the same page almost all the time,” Jason said. “We’re both pretty disciplinarian when it comes to the girls.”

He also recalled the feelings he experienced when he first became a father.
“When I first found out I was having Wyatt, I was like, ‘Okay. I’m not gonna raise her any different than how I would raise a boy. Like, I’m gonna make her tough and disciplined, and I’m not gonna be like this, like, daddy’s daughter who’s getting everything she wants,’” he said.
“Then the moment she came out, it was very hard to not be that dad… it is very difficult when they look at me a certain way to not cave, like, instantaneously.”
Massive bar raid ends with 249 arrests: ‘Underage drinking is not a minor issue!’
A massive operation targeting underage drinking in Tempe, Arizona, has led to 249 arrests at a single bar last week.
The raid, which took place last Thursday at Tempe Tavern, was the second major police sweep at the bar in just one year. The incident involved underage drinkers who used fake IDs and gave false information, according to Fox 10 Phoenix.
Reports of the repeated violations have raised questions about the bar’s responsibility in serving alcohol to its customers. While sanctions are pending due to the ongoing investigations, the incident could result in license suspension.
“The Arizona Department of Liquor and Tempe PD partnered in a joint operation, resulting in a major liquor law compliance check that led to 249 arrests,” the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control (ADLLC) said Friday.

“This crackdown specifically targeted underage drinking and sent a strong message,” the department added. “Remember to always carry a valid ID and think twice before attempting to purchase alcohol if you are underage. Underage drinking is not a minor issue!!”
Of the 249 arrests, 246 people were cited and released, Fox 10 reported. The remaining individuals were reportedly booked into the Tempe City Jail.
Tempe Tavern told Fox News Digital Tuesday that the establishment is “fully committed to cooperating with all authorities involved,” but declined to comment further “due to the ongoing investigation.”

The ADLLC investigations lieutenant told Fox 10 that the department will only place sanctions, such as a liquor license suspension or fines, after the Tempe Police Department finishes its investigation.
The lieutenant added that the department will take everything into consideration when making a decision, including the fact that a similar police sweep happened at the tavern in April and led to another 167 arrests, the outlet said.
Following the incident, management posted to Facebook stating that neither the bar nor its employees received citations from the liquor board or Tempe police from that prior incident.
Tempe Tavern acknowledged on social media that fake IDs have been a concern and stated that the bar scans every single ID presented at the door before entry, but noted that some fraudulent IDs can still successfully pass a scan and appear authentic.

“Tempe Tavern complies with the law, which is why neither the bar nor its employees received citations from the liquor board or the Tempe Police Department,” the business said in May.
The Tempe Police Department and the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
NYC mayor-elect who campaigned on affordability faces awkward salary decision
Zohran Mamdani and other top New York City officials could see their salaries jump under a proposed 16% pay hike that council members are hoping to push through soon, according to reports.
A bill introduced by Councilwoman Nantasha Williams, D-Queens, would raise members’ salaries from $148,500 to $172,500, the New York Post reported Tuesday.
If passed, the pay hike would also apply to the new mayor, public advocate, comptroller and borough presidents.
It would put Mamdani’s pay at nearly $300,000, up from the current $258,000, the outlet said.
NYC MAYOR-ELECT MAMDANI ASKS SUPPORTERS FOR $4M TO FUND TRANSITION, VOWS NO WEALTHY DONORS
Other top officials, such as the comptroller, public advocate, and borough presidents, would see comparable increases.
The legislation would be introduced this week with a hearing by year’s end, allowing the next City Council to vote in January for a swifter approval. Council members last received a raise in 2016.
Interestingly, it was Mamdani who built out a platform centered on affordability for working-class New Yorkers.
FOX NEWS’ MARTHA MACCALLUM TO INTERVIEW NEW YORK MAYORAL CANDIDATE ZOHRAN MAMDANI
The Ugandan-born 34-year-old pledged free buses, rent freezes on rent-stabilized apartments, universal childcare and city-run grocery stores during his campaign for New York City mayor.
He also campaigned on a gradual increase of the minimum wage to $30 an hour by 2030.
Mamdani has said these proposals would be funded primarily by raising taxes on wealthy individuals and large corporations.
As a state assembly member in 2022, Mamdani also voted for a pay raise for state legislators.
MAMDANI LAUGHS OFF CRITICISM THAT HIS TAX HIKE PROPOSALS WILL COMPEL NEW YORKERS TO FLEE
The latest NYC pay hike plans were originally headed for Mayor Eric Adams’ desk, but that schedule was shelved, according to the Post.
“If we have a hearing on the bill this year, we don’t need a hearing on it next year. It’s pre-considered,” Williams told The Post.

When the outlet asked her if the council would pass the pay hike bill in January, Williams responded, “That’s the goal.”
A source also said that the pay hike legislation puts Mamdani in a predicament. He could veto the bill or approve a law “making New York more affordable for the political class,” the source said.
Fox News Digital has reached out to Zohran Mamdani for comment.
Navy hero perishes after brave rescue of children caught in dangerous Hawaiian waters
A Florida sailor stationed in Hawaii died after heroically rescuing two children in Waiapua‘a Bay.
Master-at-Arms 1st Class Jeffrey Diaz, 47, of Florida, died Saturday, according to a news release from the Kaua‘i Police Department (KPD).
Diaz, who was stationed at the Pacific Missile Range Facility in Barking Sands, jumped into the water to rescue two children who were struggling in the high surf, according to the release.
While the children made it back to shore safely, police said Diaz encountered trouble in the water.

Venezuelan teen wore victim’s mask after fatal stabbing of homeless Chicago man
A trio of migrant teenagers were charged in the fatal stabbing of a 49-year-old homeless man in Chicago over the weekend, according to officials.
Wuinayker Rodriguez-Vasquez, 16, was charged as an adult with first-degree murder in connection with the incident that happened on Sunday morning, according to the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office. He appeared on Tuesday for a detention hearing, in which a judge ordered him to be held pre-trial.
Two 14-year-olds were also charged — one was charged with first-degree murder and the other was charged with armed robbery. The two 14-year-olds appeared in juvenile court on Monday and were ordered held in custody.
Officials said the victim did not know any of the suspects.

All three suspects are reportedly from Venezuela.
The Department of Homeland Security told Fox News that records show Rodriguez-Vazquez is believed to have crossed into the U.S. in September 2023 near Eagle Pass, Texas. He was arrested and released at the time along with his mother.
Assistant State’s Attorney Todd Kleist also said in a court filing in the stabbing case that Rodriguez-Vasquez’s contact with Texas law enforcement in 2023 was documented as an “alien inadmissibility” case.
Rodriguez-Vasquez has no prior criminal history in Illinois, according to Kleist.

Prosecutors said the stabbing attack happened at around 5:45 a.m. on Sunday in the Chicago Loop, where the victim was sleeping near his cat and belongings, including a skeleton mask.
A group that included Rodriguez-Vasquez and the two 14-year-olds allegedly approached the victim while Rodriguez-Vasquez had a knife hidden in his sleeve and another teenager held a metal rod, according to prosecutors.
One of the teenagers grabbed the victim’s mask and ran. When the victim stood up, Rodriguez-Vasquez allegedly kicked him, prosecutors said. One of the 14-year-olds allegedly struck the victim, and Rodriguez-Vasquez is accused of stabbing him in the back, causing him to collapse.
The attack was captured on surveillance video.
The victim was transported to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The medical examiner ruled the cause of death a stab wound to the back and the manner of death a homicide.
Police later detained the teenagers after spotting people on camera wearing the same clothing seen in surveillance footage. Rodriguez-Vasquez was found with a knife, and he was later identified by his mother and another member of the group.

Prosecutors said Rodriguez-Vasquez was seen in stills from after the incident “displaying a knife to the group, making stabbing motions, and wearing the victim’s skeleton mask on his head.”
A Chicago police source told Fox News this was an especially heinous and cruel murder of an innocent homeless man, saying that it was a “mob style” attack in which some of the suspects were laughing afterward.
Country’s most decorated female Olympian accepts ban despite ‘clean athlete’ claim
Penny Oleksiak, the most decorated female Olympian in Canadian history, has accepted a two-year ban from competitive swimming for an anti-doping rule violation.
The International Testing Agency (ITA) made the announcement Tuesday after the seven-time Olympic medalist committed three whereabouts failures between October 2024 and June 2025.
Oleksiak’s suspension will end July 14, 2027, before the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

“We are committed to the enforcement and support of all anti-doping rules as outlined in the Canadian Anti-Doping Program and through World Aquatics and the World Anti-Doping Agency,” Swimming Canada CEO Suzanne Paulins said in a statement, per ESPN.
“While we accept Penny’s explanation that these were inadvertent errors and she has not used banned substances, anti-doping regulations are in place to ensure a level playing field for all athletes.

“We will miss Penny on the national team and hope to see her back in the pool when she is eligible.”
A whereabouts failure, as defined by the World Anti-Doping Code, is when any combination of three missed tests or filing failures occurs in a 12-month period.
Oleksiak was told by the ITA about the whereabouts case earlier this year, which led to her taking a provisional suspension in July. She withdrew from the World Aquatics Championships that month.
“I am and always have been a clean athlete and will be making no further comment at this time,” Oleksiak said in July 2025 when she withdrew from the World Aquatics Championships.
Oleksiak, 25, has won one gold medal, two silver and four bronze over her Olympic career. Her seven medals are tied for the most all time, male or female, with sprinter Andre De Grasse.

She also has nine world championship medals, winning silver twice and collecting seven bronze medals over her career.
Golf influencer claims ‘tens of thousands of death threats’ after cheating scandal
The Internet Invitational put Paige Spiranac in a bad light, and she said she has received a lot of hate in the aftermath.
Spiranac was part of the final group in the 48-person tournament of golf influencers and YouTubers run by Barstool Sports and Bob Does Sports. She was paired with Barstool’s Frankie Borrelli and Good Good Golf’s Malosi Togisala against Brad Dalke of Good Good and Cody “Beefe” Franke and Francis Ellis from Barstool.
Spiranac’s squad lost the $1 million prize on the 18th hole of the final match, and many viewers considered it karma after both Spiranac and Togisala were wrapped up in cheating scandals. Spiranac was caught on film improving a lie in the final match, claiming she thought it was allowed and then starting to cry.
Later, Togisala was speculated to have been using the slope on his rangefinder. Rangefinders were permitted, but using the slope was not.

Spiranac, who got testy early in the championship by calling out Ellis for not playing “competitive golf” before, said she has received “tens of thousands of death threats” since the championship match was posted to YouTube during what has been “an interesting week.”
“The last week and a half is probably the worst hate I’ve ever received in the 10 years of me doing this,” Spiranac said on her Instagram story. “I’m talking tens of thousands of death threats, people telling me to kill myself. The most vile, horrendous stuff you could ever say to an individual that’s been in my DMs to the point where we were discussing me having to potentially get a restraining order. I mean, it’s serious stuff. It’s not easy, and it hasn’t been easy.”
Spiranac has been noticeably quiet on social media since the championship match dropped.

“I know people are wondering why I haven’t posted or why I haven’t talked about it. I just needed to remove myself for my mental health,” she said.
“One thing that I really struggle with is wanting to be liked and accepted, and I don’t want anyone to ever dislike me. And I always try to do everything I can to have people like me. And, so, it’s just hard for me as a person with how I process things and then obviously the situation has not been easy either. But, luckily, having a good support system, family around and just trying to stay distracted.”
Spiranac again claimed to not know the rules about improving lies, saying she would never cheat on purpose.
“I am painfully, painfully embarrassed that I did not know this rule,” she said in an Instagram story, hinting at the karma that hit her for her comments about Ellis. “I would never intentionally cheat. In all my years of playing golf, I have never been accused of cheating. There were so many cameras on me. To blatantly cheat with that many people around, that many cameras around, would be insane. So, I made a mistake. I learned now that it was a rules infraction, and I’ll never do it again.”

The event was filmed over the summer at Cedar Lodge Resort in Ridgedale, Missouri, with the final match being played at Payne’s Valley. Franke, one of the winners, died earlier this month.
Spiranac was one of several former pros in a field that included Dalke and Wesley Brian.
Over 41,000 bottles of common medication recalled over possible contamination
Those looking for relief from a cold or the flu may want to check their bottle of nasal spray before using it.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a recall affecting 41,328 bottles of Walgreens nasal spray over concerns they may be contaminated with pseudomonas lactis, a bacterium found in raw milk. The specific spray affected by the recall is the 1.5-oz (45mL) bottle of Walgreens Saline Nasal Spray with Xylitol.
“Under the guidance of the FDA, our supplier has initiated a voluntary recall of Walgreens Saline Nasal Spray WITH XYLITOL. This was done out of an abundance of caution and the safety of our customers remains our top priority,” a Walgreens spokesperson told Fox Business.
The recalled products have the following lots and expiration dates:
- Lot No. 71409 — Expires: 2/28/2027
- Lot No. 71861 — Expires: 8/31/2027
The affected sprays were sold at Walgreens locations across the country, according to the FDA.
COSTCO RECALLS POPULAR READY-TO-EAT FOOD ITEMS OVER PLASTIC CONTAMINATION CONCERNS
The Walgreens spokesperson told Fox Business that “consumers with affected product should not use it and return it to a store for a full refund.”
Authorities did not say how the nasal spray was contaminated and issued a Class II recall, the second-highest risk level, noting it was a voluntary recall.
The FDA says a Class II recall is issued when exposure to or use of a possibly contaminated product could “cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.” The classification can also be used if the “probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.”

Trump reveals secret negotiations underway as war casualties mount
President Donald Trump has stated that he will not meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin or Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy until the emerging Russia-Ukraine peace agreement is either complete or in its final stage.
In a lengthy post shared on Truth Social Tuesday, Trump emphasized “tremendous progress” had been made over the past week, calling it the most significant movement toward peace since the Ukraine war began.
FROM ISRAEL TO UKRAINE, TRUMP SPENDS WEEK FOCUSED ON NAVIGATING GLOBAL CONFLICTS
He wrote: “Over the past week, my team has made tremendous progress with respect to ending the War between Russia and Ukraine (A War that would have NEVER started if I were President!). Last month 25,000 soldiers died. The original 28-Point Peace Plan, which was drafted by the United States, has been fine-tuned, with additional input from both sides, and there are only a few remaining points of disagreement.”
Trump continued by outlining the next steps in the negotiation process:
“In the hopes of finalizing this Peace Plan, I have directed my Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to meet with President Putin in Moscow and, at the same time, Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll will be meeting with the Ukrainians. I will be briefed on all progress made, along with Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.”
TRUMP SAYS ‘TREMENDOUS BAD BLOOD’ BETWEEN ZELENSKYY, PUTIN DELAYING PEACE DEAL DESPITE MIDDLE EAST MOMENTUM
He concluded his post by explaining when he would be willing to meet with Zelenskyy and Putin:
“I look forward to hopefully meeting with President Zelenskyy and President Putin soon, but ONLY when the deal to end this War is FINAL or, in its final stages,”
“Thank you for your attention to this very important matter, and let’s all hope that PEACE can be accomplished AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!” he added.
COULD TRUMP’S GAZA CEASEFIRE PLAN OFFER A BLUEPRINT FOR PEACE IN UKRAINE?
A revised peace framework, changed from the original 28 points, has reportedly gained preliminary acceptance from both Kyiv and Washington. Moscow is currently reviewing the latest revisions.
As reported by Fox News Digital Tuesday, Ukraine agreed to a peace deal that would see an end to the war with Russia, a U.S. official said,
Some minor details of the agreement are still to be sorted out, the official said.
However, overnight, Russia launched a large drone-and-missile strike on Kyiv, killing at least seven people and damaging power infrastructure.
Despite the continuing violence, U.S. diplomats describe the negotiations as the “closest they have been” to a potential agreement since the war began.
ZELENSKYY WARNS UKRAINE FACES ‘DIFFICULT CHOICE’ AS US PEACE PLAN HITS MAJOR HURDLE
Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron said Tuesday that France and its EU partners were close to finalizing a plan to support Ukraine and to secure a peace that is “serious” and rooted in international law.
After a virtual meeting of the Coalition of the Willing, Macron also said that “all the countries around the table want peace, but they want a peace that is just and lasting.”
He addressed territorial and security issues while hoping to prevent future aggression and warned that renewed Russian strikes on civilian and energy infrastructure show that “on the ground, the reality is the exact opposite of any genuine desire for peace.”
Macron outlined the coalition’s priorities, including increased sanctions on Russia to pile on pressure so that “it agrees to negotiate.”

“This includes our sanctions, the U.S. sanctions coming into force, and our actions against the “shadow fleet” involved in illicit oil shipments worldwide,” Macron said.
He also highlighted two key initiatives: finalizing an EU solution for frozen Russian assets and establishing long-term security guarantees to ensure any ceasefire is enforceable and durable.

“We all support the pursuit of a peace plan, so this work must continue, and we are coordinating closely with the United States to move forward on a framework that could be acceptable,” he added.
Concluding, Macron stated, “The next few days will allow us to finalize in very concrete terms and to complete these security guarantees. This is essential for Ukraine, essential for negotiating a credible peace, and also essential to maintain pressure on Russia.”
