Their respective spouses, brothers Prince William and Prince Harry, are seemingly still struggling to find common ground....

It’s a good idea to give your child their own desk, so they can have their own space to create and do schoolwork. Kids don’t have a whole lot of spaces that feel like their own, and it can help foster a sense of personal responsibility in your child to have a desk. Doing homework or crafts on the kitchen table, for example, can be distracting—or difficult for a parent who needs to use that space for meals....

President Joe Biden brought the grandpa vibes in his first town hall meeting since his inauguration in January. During the intimate meeting, hosted by CNN’s Anderson Cooper, Biden comforted a second-grade girl who was concerned about COVID-19. Jessica Salas, a Milwaukee-based graphic designer, stood with her 8-year-old daughter Layla and explained to Biden that her two young children often ask if they will get the coronavirus and die. “They are watching as others get the vaccine, and they would like to know, when will kids be able to get the vaccine?...

After a pic of Candace and husband Valeri Bure in which Valeri is grabbing his wife’s boob caused a stir on Instagram, the Fuller House star initially defended her right to post it, clarifying that she had no reason to apologize for the post no matter what comments to the contrary, largely from conservative Christian fans, might suggest....

Singer Christina Perri shared a heartbreaking photo on Tuesday night to reveal the news that her daughter was stillborn. It was the worst ending to a story we’d been following hopefully since she posted the beautiful nude pregnancy photos husband Paul Costabile had taken just two weeks ago. “Last night we lost our baby girl,” the “Jar of Hearts” singer wrote, captioning a photo of two adults holding a very tiny baby hand....

Easter is one of our favorite holidays, and we’ll be honest – that has a lot to do with the food. We may be adults, but you bet we’re stocking up on Easter candy like chocolate bunny rabbits, jelly beans, and mini eggs to snack on. We’re also excited for Easter dinner, but we never know what to serve for dessert. Luckily, this year we found a shortcut that means we don’t have to bake anything, and it won’t break the bank: Costco is selling mini carrot cakes just in time for Easter....

When it comes to his kids, David Beckham is basically just a big ol’ softie. The soccer icon was feeling sentimental at the start of the week as he shared a new selfie with his three sons, Brooklyn, 21, Romeo, 17, and Cruz, 15. Of course, it goes without saying that all three boys favor their famous dad — and maybe none more in this golf day snapshot than middle son Romeo, who has apparently inherited David’s exact smile....

It’s a time-honored tradition for former presidents and first ladies to commission an artist to paint their portraits to reside in the National Portrait Gallery at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. In 2018, the paintings of Barack and Michelle Obama were unveiled, and now, it’s time to get started on Donald and Melania Trump’s portraits. Of course, like anything with the Trump family, the way the money was raised is unusual compared to other former presidents....

In late December, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell had some choice words for Donald Trump that may come back to haunt him. Telling NBC News that “the former president’s political clout has diminished” put the Kentucky senator on Donald Trump’s social media hit list. Of course, that’s in addition to his criticism of how the former president handled the Jan. 6 insurrection, so Donald Trump has a lot of material to work with....

Oh, how social media can turn on you. One moment you’re posting about your personal birthday shout-out from Vanilla Ice, and next thing you know, state officials are trying to shut down your dad’s club — or at least that’s the case if your name is Donald Trump Jr., who, among other Trump family members and attendees, did not hold back from sharing footage of the packed, mask-less New Year’s Eve party this year at Mar-A-Lago....

In the transitional period between the seasons, is there anything that hits the spot more than a lemony risotto?
