Her decisions are guided by her faith. It is an honor to be her husband!'
"Cooper's heart is unlike anything I've ever known," Hally said. "He loves his people so so well and is kind to everyone who crosses his path.

Tomorrowland music festival goes viral for having full-blown gym on grounds
Who said you need to skip leg day when at a festival? Popular electronic dance festival, Tomorrowland, is going viral – not just for having pulled off the unthinkable after its Mainstage caught fire – but for having a full-blown gym on the grounds in Boom, Belgium. Advertisement It's definitely not something you'd expect to find at a festival but various clips show partygoers embracing the 'chill out area', equipped with free weights and various machines. 'Yes, there's a gym at Tomorrowland,' one Instagram video read as it showed guys with their shirts off and girls in their activewear pumping some iron. 'From early morning workouts to pre-set pump-ups, the Tomorrowland fitness zone proves the festival life is about balance too,' the caption continued. It was described as the place 'where ravers train before the party begins'. Advertisement Unsurprisingly, many were quick to jump into the comment section to weigh in on the surprise set-up. 4 Tomorrowland has a full-blown gym on the festival grounds. @justlovetechno/Instagram 'Just get a beer and enjoy mate! It's only 3 days for duck sake!' one user joked. 'Do you pay for a ticket for tomorrow to go train? No, I'm kidding! Drink a cold beer and enjoy the music. You won't lose muscle in 3 days, for God's sake,' another wrote. Advertisement A third person joked: 'How was the festival? It was good I was at the gym …' Another clip shows the gym packed as a strength class takes place. 'WTF,' one person simply wrote, while others were impressed with the partygoers' energy. 'Strength training first, then cardio on the dance floor!' another added. Advertisement 4 The gym features free weights and a variety of machines for people to work out on. @ According to the Tomorrowland website, the area focuses on 'recharging your body by sports, relaxing and enjoying more healthy food and drinks in a chill and easygoing environment'. They also hold yoga classes, one-on-one boxing work all to 'get your endorphins flowing'. 'Hit the gym on your own or join one of many group classes. Even a boxing ring is available!' 'The recovery area is entirely free and the instructors here will safely introduce you to the world of fitness.' Tomorrowland 2025 had a rocky start to the festival after its Mainstage caught fire just a few days out from opening last week. Wild footage showed its magical 'Orbyz Mainstage' up in flames. Organisers said it was a 'race against time' to build a substitute stage with the likes of Meduza, Axwell and Vini Vici all due to perform – but they did it. Advertisement 4 The music festival takes place in Boom, Belgium. AP A photo posted to their official Instagram account on July 19 showed the new Mainstage and while very different to the usual elaborate design – it was quickly welcomed and in some cases more preferred by fans. 'Honestly this looks much better and you know why? people are closer to the DJ. It will be more about dancing than posting videos since a long time ago. I hope people there will enjoy it!' one follower wrote. According to local news outlet, HLN, stage parts from the European leg of Metallica's current M72 World Tour stored in Austria were airlifted to the site to ensure the Mainstage proceedings could go ahead as planned. Advertisement 4 The festival happened this year even though a massive fire broke out on the main stage two days before opening day. AP One of this year's headlining acts, Martin Garrix, took to Instagram to thank the metal heavyweights, just hours before he took to the stage. 'I cannot believe I'm actually typing this … but my set at Tomorrowland is still happening,' the post reads. 'Massive love and a big shoutout to the incredible @tomorrowland team for pulling off miracles — and to @Metallica for coming through with the new stage parts.' Advertisement It's currently still unclear what caused the fire, but a local firefighter, François van den Eynde, told reporters the blaze 'spread very quickly,' likely because of the 'materials used' to build the stage, according to Rolling Stones. This weekend marks the final days of Tomorrowland 2025.

'Here's what I'll tell you though, because I haven't told anyone this ever. [He] and I met in 2020. [Fellow country artist] Jon Langston actually introduced us. I was a senior in college – COVID hadn't happened yet, his 'Dangerous' album wasn't even out yet. So, we were friends for a long time.' 'We were friends for a long time. We were not just friends. And now we're friends,' she added. She elaborated on her relationship status during an interview with Fox News Digital in July 2024, explaining that at the time she was very busy in her career and didn't have time for a relationship. Aside from her busy schedule, Moroney also admitted she wasn't 'emotionally available' enough for a serious relationship at the time. 'I think because I'm not emotionally available, like, I am not ready to find someone that I want to marry right now, because that's just not in even the top ten things in my brain right now,' she explained. 'So it's just like, let's not waste anyone's time. Let's just not date right now because there's that point.'
