Looks like romance is in the air beyond just Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, ’cause her soon-to-be father-in-law Ed Kelce, appears to have made things social media official with a special woman in his life, weeks before his son’s high-profile wedding.
Ed recently shared a photo featuring Doree Hepner, who appears to be his new lucky lady, pairing the snapshot with a glowing caption, saying “With the dynamic and gorgeous Doree Hepner at 118 North, listening to York Street Hustle: their Summer Soul(stice) show.”

The post marks one of Ed’s most public displays of affection on social media and has fans taking notice, especially as interest in the Kelce family remains at an all-time high. Ed Kelce was previously married to Donna Kelce for nearly 25 years before their amicable divorce.
Naturally, the timing has caught attention online with fans dissecting every development surrounding Taylor and Travis … and Ed’s relationship update is generating its own wave of buzz with many of the comments connecting his charm with Travis’ as well as pointing out his location amid Taylor’s suspected bachelorette party in Rhode Island this weekend.
As we previously reported, the “Tayvis” wedding is expected to be anything but frugal when it comes to the guest list. We’re told between 1,100 and 1,200 guests are expected to attend the July 3 wedding celebration at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
We broke the story that singer Sombr and her former best friend Karlie Kloss RSVPed yes — even Benson Boone will be flipping’ into MSG. However there’s hope for Ed’s lady friend as sources familiar with the situation told TMZ the famed couple invited people who aren’t famous and, in some cases, barely know Taylor and Travis.
As to if Papa Kelce’s supposed special someone will snag a place as a plus one to the wedding on everybody’s lips … guess fans will have to wait and see!

Turns out, some people may not get enough credit when it comes to their silly, G-rated jokes.
There’s surprisingly complex science behind the humor of one of the corniest, pun-ishing and most cringeworthy categories of humor: dad jokes. In one study, published as a preprint (meaning it has not yet been peer-reviewed), researchers analyzed 32,000 dad jokes from a subreddit, r/dadjokes. They found that the funniest ones — as rated by Redditors — have a tried-and-true structure. The best tended to use puns, literalization — turning an idiom into reality — and pedantic humor to delight and torment children in equal measures.

The former World Champion arrives at AAA.
During the June 20th episode of Lucha Libre AAA on FOX, AAA General Manager Rey Mysterio spoke to the media and stated that he was close to bringing a former WWE World Champion to the brand. He added that the individual has never competed for AAA.
At the AAA TV taping, former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest showed up.
Priest is one-half of the WWE Tag Team Champions with R-Truth on Friday Night SmackDown. They successfully defended their belts against The MFTs (Talla Tonga & Tama Tonga) on June 19th.
Priest is in a relationship with the AAA World Mixed Tag Team and NXT Women’s Champion, Lola Vice. Vice is scheduled to defend her NXT Women’s Title on AAA on FOX on the 6/27 show.

The funeral of David Hockney has taken place in private with just his partner and great nephew in attendance, his publicist has confirmed.
The bespectacled and besuited British artist, whose work spanned landscapes from the turquoise swimming pools of Los Angeles to the emerald hills of his native Yorkshire, died on 11 June at the age of 88.
His funeral may seem sparse, but it took place according to Hockney’s wishes, his publicist confirmed.
“We have been overwhelmed by your tributes which have meant so much to us and we wanted to thank you,” Erica Bolton said in a statement. “As we have already received so many inquiries about David Hockney’s funeral arrangements and memorials, we would like to clarify that it was David’s clear wish that his funeral should be attended only by his partner, JP, and his great-nephew Richard; and that their privacy would be respected.”
“The funeral has already taken place,” Bolton added. “Also in accordance with David’s wishes, we are able to announce that the first memorial service to celebrate David’s life and work will be held in London in spring 2027, followed at later dates by memorials in Yorkshire, Paris and Los Angeles.”
The guests were Hockney’s partner Jean-Pierre Goncalves de Lima, and his great-nephew Richard.
Bolton went on to say that the majority of Hockney’s works would now be given to foundations and public institutions around the world “in furtherance of his legacy”, adding that Hockney did not have a collection of artworks by other painters, and none of his own work was stored at his properties in the UK, France and the US.
Hockney’s death sparked an outpouring of tributes from across the world. In a personal message, King Charles said he and the Queen were “greatly saddened” to learn of the death of “a giant of the world of art and painting, a Yorkshireman through and through, and a dear friend and inspiration to so many”.
Keir Starmer also expressed his sadness over Hockney’s death, writing that he was “saddened” to hear of the death of “one of Britain’s most celebrated artists”.
Writing in tribute to Hockney and their long friendship, The Independent’s editor-in-chief Geordie Greig described the artist’s work as “instantly recognisable”.
“His sublime line, genius with colours, adventurous with form, and always reflecting where he was, who was with him, and an unlocking of a language of art which seduced the world,” Greig wrote. “He gave an identity to formless Los Angeles with his pools, palm trees and boys. His portraits created a world and circle of his own, which defined late-20th-century urban living.”

Veteran rocker Rod Stewart stumbled on a Utah stage mid-concert this weekend, finally steadying himself with the help of some deep gasps from an oxygen tank, according to photos and video of the scene shared by TMZ.
Stewart began performing at the Utah First Credit Union Amphitheater in West Valley City on Friday night when his actions slowed, and he suddenly appeared to be in distress, holding himself up on equipment until backstage attendants came to his aid with an oxygen tank. He appeared to improve after several deep gulps of oxygen and eventually continued with his concert—while seated. He drew laughs from the audience when he informed his fans that he had “dang near fainted.”
“The First Cut Is the Deepest” singer-songwriter, however, has postponed and canceled a number of shows due to health issues, including an acute upper respiratory infection, People magazine reported.
Earlier this month, the octogenarian rocker announced that a few of his performances at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas would be rescheduled because his doctor had “ordered a bit more rest” as he recovered from the flu. Days later, Stewart canceled four shows and postponed two more in Nevada and California (though he did manage to attend a World Cup soccer game during that time).
“So sorry, my friends. I’m devastated and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience to my fans,” he wrote on Instagram. “I’ll be back on stage and we’ll see you soon – Sir Rod💔.”
The Daily Beast has reached out to Stewart’s representatives for more information.
But Stewart has also been in top form at appearances, though he is reportedly preparing to retire at some point during his ongoing “One Last Time Tour” (which began back in 2024).
He sang in Phoenix and delivered what Deadline called a “vivacious” performance at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles earlier this month. He declared to his 17,500 fans at the Bowl: “This is my last time here, so let’s have a party tonight.” It was his 14th time at the venue.
Like Brit Sir Roderick David Stewart, eight decades (or nearly) on earth hasn’t kept other popular musicians off stage, including Mick Jagger, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, James Taylor, Paul McCartney, Cher, and Kenny Loggins.
