Kristin Cavallari spilled the beans on the identity of a mystery athlete that she dated several months ago. On the April 1 episode of her “Let’s Be Honest” podcast, the former MTV star revealed that she had a fling with retired NHL player Nate Thompson.

“He is an ex-hockey player,” Cavallari, 38, said of the former L.A. Kings and Boston Bruins forward. “He’s been retired for a couple years now. He’s a dad. He’s someone who has done a lot of work on himself, and we really connected on such a deep level. Honestly, one of the deeper relationships I’ve had, especially in such a short amount of time.”

“I don’t even care,” she said after spilling Thompson’s name. “I said his name on [my podcast] tour. I really think he’s such a great guy.”

The mom of three noted that she and Thompson, 40,  had an “amazing” connection and “didn’t hold back anything” during their brief relationship. Of the timeline of the romance, she teased that she spent New Year’s with the ex-athlete.

Cavallari, who was married to former Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler for seven years, admitted that while she was attracted to Thompson, the “flame” wasn’t there for a lasting romance. She also clarified that she never considered Thompson to be a boyfriend.

Cavallari first teased the romance in December during an appearance on Bunny XO’s “Dumb Blonde” podcast. “I’m kinda dating someone else now. I’m not going to say who it is and it’s really new,” she said at the time, before noting that her mystery man was a “retired athlete.”

The Uncommon James founder admitted that athletes are her usual type and that she’s happy to wear the “wives and girlfriends” label. “They love me! I’m a f–ing WAG through and through,” she said.

On her new podcast, Cavallari said she is “done” dating pro athletes.

Cavallari’s reveal about Thompson came exactly six months after she announced her breakup with 24-year-old TikTok star Mark Estes.

On the October 1, 2024 episode of her “Let’s Be Honest” podcast, Cavallari explained that the end of her seven-month relationship came down to the age difference and Estes’ lack of life experience. “He’s been the best boyfriend I’ve ever had,” she told fans at the time. “I just know long-term he needs to experience life.”

A volcano on Iceland’s Reykjanes Peninsula erupted early Tuesday morning, prompting the evacuation of the nearby town of Grindavik. State media confirmed the eruption, with lava moving dangerously close to the town, only a few hundred yards away. One of Iceland’s most famous tourist spots, the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa, announced a temporary closure on its website due to magma intrusion in the area.

According to the Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO), the lava flow had breached part of the defensive wall to the north of Grindavik. Photos and video from officials show the lava just a few hundred yards from Grindavik.

The fissure producing the lava is nearly half a mile in length, and the IMO has detected ongoing earthquake activity nearby.

The Icelandic Civil Protection Agency has elevated its operations to an emergency level, while the situation remains closely monitored.

The eruption follows a previous event on December 8, 2024. Authorities continue to assess the potential risks as the eruption develops. Despite the threatening proximity of the lava, no injuries have been reported at this time.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is enjoying the off season after a tough loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX. He’s been traveling with his girlfriend Taylor Swift, getting to spend quality time with her now that her “Eras Tour” has wrapped. However, Kelce is also gearing up for the 2025 football season. 

In an interview with The Athletic that was published on April 1, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid shared that Kelce has already been getting himself ready for what could be his final season in the NFL.

“He’s training like crazy,” Reid told the outlet. Although training camp is still a couple of months away, Kelce is keeping himself on track.

Reid also said that he’s looking forward to working with Kelce again. 

“I’ll see when he comes back and see where he’s at,” the coach said. He also confirmed that Kelce told him that he wasn’t going to retire less than one week after the Super Bowl.

“I always like guys to step back, but he wants to come back,” Reid explained.

In a March episode of the New Heights podcast, Kelce opened up about his decision to play one more season in Kansas City.

“I think the biggest thing is that I f—— love playing the game of football,” he said. “I love playing. I still feel like I can play it at a high level and possibly at a higher level than I did last year. I don’t think it was my best outing. I think I let my guys down in a lot more moments than I helped them, especially if you look at my track record and how I’ve been in years past. I want to give it a good run. I got a bad taste in my mouth in how I ended last year and how well I was playing and how accountable I was to the people around me.”

“I love so many people in Kansas City, both in that facility, in the community, and it’s home for me now. I don’t want to leave that life yet. I put in a lot of hard work and I put in a lot of focus into being the best that I can for K.C. Last year it didn’t end well for us. I just feel like there’s a responsibility in me to play out the contract that I initially signed, to give Kansas City and the Chiefs organization everything that I’ve got, and that’s what I’m going to do, man,” he added.

Three members of a reportedly wealthy family were found dead inside of their suburban home.

A former Bloomberg executive, along with his wife and one of their children, was found dead inside of their South Carolina home last week. Police had responded to a call about the house on Friday, March 28. There was initially a language barrier with a neighbor, but after getting through that, they were able to get into the home, where they found three people dead.

The three people found dead were 54-year-old Richard Samarel, 45-year-old Lina Maria Samarel and their 9-year-old daughter, Samantha Samarel.

A cause of death has yet to be released.

Local South Carolina media outlet WYFF 4 reports that the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office received a call from a neighbor to respond to an incident at Marilyn Perry Lane off Reidville Rd. in Greer about 11:30 a.m. Friday.

The time of death for the three people found dead is believed to be between 10:20 a.m. and 11:29 a.m.

An investigation into the deaths is ongoing. Police do not believe there is an active threat to the community.

“At this initial stage, this agency doesn’t feel like there is any threat to the public,” the sheriff’s office said.

The three people were reportedly not the only ones living in the home. It is believed that the couple had other children who were in school at the time of the deaths.

The husband was a former Equities Manager at Bloomberg LP, while his wife, Lina, worked at the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, according to reports.

An investigation into the deaths is ongoing.

“Our investigation remains active, and we will release more information when appropriate.” the sheriff’s office said in a statement this week.

University of Florida student Talia Baia is beside herself with all the attention she’s getting after a short interview with Gators basketball player Bennett Andersen. But she vows to strike while the iron’s hot.

Baia, a student reporter with ESPN Gainesville’s WRUF, was simply doing her job last week covering the Gators’ Sweet 16 win over Maryland in the NCAA Tournament. Andersen was the coveted interview, given his incredible rise — from serving as the team’s manager for three seasons before making the roster as a walk-on this season. He got a taste for March Madness last week in the waning seconds against Maryland, but he made the most of it with a putback to record his first bucket in NCAA Tournament play.

After the game, Baia interviewed Andersen, who was sitting in front of his locker with a seemingly doting look in his eyes while staring up at the student reporter. The interview captured the nature, with many chiming in on Baia’s interview.

“This man is in love lol,” one person tweeted. Another added, “Bro better than me, I would’ve folded.”

After the interview went viral, Baia reacted by tweeting a collage of headlines her interview made. She also tweeted, “This is absolute madness,” along with a laughing emoji.

With her interview still all the rage, it appears Baia is looking to capitalize on her newfound fame.  After Florida beat Texas Tech over the weekend to advance to the Final Four, Baia took to Instagram to hawk a T-shirt featuring a cartoon drawing of the viral interview. The cartoon features Andersen with hearts over his eyes.

“Go check out the new shirt Bennett and I dropped!” Baia wrote on her Instagram Story. “Don’t be shy, show some love.”
