Love Is Blind 's Lauren Speed and Cameron Hamilton Reveal Sex of Baby
Originally appeared on E! Online Lauren Speed-Hamilton and Cameron Hamilton are no longer blind when it comes to the sex of their baby. Two months after announcing that they're expecting their first child together, the Love Is Blind couple—who met and married while filming season one of the Netflix reality series in 2018—shared an adorable gender reveal video, unveiling that they are going to have a boy. In a black-and-white clip shared to Instagram Aug. 1, Lauren, 37, and Cameron, 38, stepped out of their house to find that the cheekily named "Hamilton Herald" newspaper arrived at their doorstep. When they picked up the periodical, the couple discovered an article that said "It's a boy," and the video subsequently filled with color, turning the flowers and the background blue. And the pair were more than happy with the news, with Lauren jumping up and down with excitement before leaning over to give Cameron a sweet kiss. Back in May, the reality TV personalities detailed the moment they found out Lauren was pregnant following a long journey with in-vitro fertilization (IVF). More from E! Online Tom Selleck, 80, Looks Unrecognizable During Rare Outing Without Signature Mustache Why Bryan Kohberger Left Roommate Dylan Mortensen Alive, According to Idaho Prosecutor Bachelor Nation's Madison Prewett and Husband Grant Troutt Share Plans to Spank Their Daughter "We were counting down the days 'til we could test because we did IVF," Cameron told People at the time. "We did the classic test and we both went into the bathroom to look." When the pregnancy test came back positive, Lauren recalled feeling a sense of "relief." 'Seeing the word pregnant, it was amazing,' she told People. 'We just looked at each other. I fell to my knees and cried." Noting that they had been trying for a baby for "four years," Lauren added, "It's been a long time coming." Indeed, the couple have previously gotten candid about their challenging fertility journey, which involved Lauren taking medications and daily shots in order to help with the process. And while they shared that the period was undoubtedly difficult for them, Cameron also said it has strengthened their bond as a couple. "Knowing that IVF and all this stuff wasn't really something that you naturally wanted to do but you did it for me," Cameron told Lauren during an October 2024 episode of their The Love Seat podcast, "you showed me a new level of love that I'd never seen before."

Indiana Fever Legend Gets ‘Stranger Things' Surprise
Indiana Fever Legend Gets 'Stranger Things' Surprise originally appeared on Athlon Sports. As the Indiana Fever prepared to host the Phoenix Mercury on Wednesday night, a "strange" gift arrived for Tamika Catchings. The Fever are wearing their "Stranger Things" jerseys again for the big home game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. They will welcome Mercury forward DeWanna Bonner back after she was waived by Indiana last month. A "Stranger Things" Surprise With Bonner on the other side of the floor and Caitlin Clark still out with a right groin injury, things might feel a little bit upside down in Indianapolis — but the team made sure Catchings would fit right in. Catchings posted a video on Instagram showing a delivery that included a customized black "Stranger Things" jersey with her name on it, but there was an unexpected twist. Instead of her trademark No. 24, the number on the back paid tribute to Millie Bobby Brown's character "Eleven" from the hit Netflix series. Honoring an Indiana Fever Legend From winning WNBA Rookie of the Year in 2002 to bringing Indiana its first WNBA championship in 2012, Catchings' historic career made her a certified Fever legend. She is the only player in franchise history to have her jersey retired, so perhaps that's why the marketing team avoided putting No. 24 on the back. After playing for the legendary Pat Summit at Tennessee, she spent all 15 seasons of her WNBA career in Indianapolis. In that time, she climbed her way to the top of the franchise record books, ranking No. 1 in Fever history in: Career minutes played (14,387) Career points (7,380) Career rebounds (3,315) Career assists (1,488) There's more, but you get the idea. Without Catchings, today's version of the Fever would not exist. Her fingerprints are still all over the 2025 team, as her former teammates Briann January and Karima Christmas-Kelly are on the coaching staff of current head coach Stephanie White, who also played with and coached Catchings in Indiana. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 30, 2025, where it first appeared.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's 'FUBAR' canceled at Netflix after 2 seasons
The series, which first debuted on Netflix in 2023, marked the first leading role for the actor on a scripted television show. Turns out, he won't be back. Arnold Schwarzenegger's action series FUBAR will not be returning for a third season at Netflix, Entertainment Weekly can confirm. A source adds that the streamer is proud of the work that producers, cast, and crew put into the show. The series, which first debuted on Netflix in 2023, marked the first leading role for the actor on a scripted television show. The first season was a ratings hit, according to the streamer, but the second season apparently had a much quieter debut in June. (According to Variety, season 2 made Nielsen's streaming originals top 10 only for the week of June 16, and fell off thereafter.) Per the logline, FUBAR follows a father and daughter who learn that they've each secretly been working as CIA Operatives for years. The two then realize their entire relationship has been a lie and that they truly don't know one another at all. Forced to team up as partners, the series tackles universal family dynamics against a global backdrop of spies, action, and humor. In a statement ahead of the series premiere, creator, showrunner, and executive producer Nick Santora called the show "by far, the most surreal project of my career." He continued, "I grew up watching Arnold Schwarzenegger films — I'd hit my dad up for a few bucks so I could race to the movies and see the biggest star in the world on the big screen — so creating the first scripted television project for Arnold is unbelievably exciting for me." Santora added, "The thing I always marveled at was how Schwarzenegger could be funny while still kicking ass ... that's why I wanted FUBAR to be a hysterical, CIA-spy comedy mixed with heart-stopping action! And it is all that — and more. I'd love to elaborate with more details, but, sorry, it's classified." In addition to Schwarzenegger, FUBAR also starred Monica Barbaro, Milan Carter, Fortune Feimster, Travis Van Winkle, Fabiana Udenio, Aparna Brielle, Guy Burnet, Andy Buckley, Carrie-Anne Moss, Jay Baruchel, Barbara Eve Harris, and Scott Thompson. In addition to Santora, Schwarzenegger, Adam Higgs, Scott Sullivan, Phil Abraham, Amy Pocha, Seth Cohen and Skydance's David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Matt Thunell served as additional executive producers. Skydance Television produced. While FUBAR wasn't so lucky, Netflix has renewed several shows of late, including: Wednesday, Untamed, Tires, Ransom Canyon, Virgin River, Bridgerton, Forever, Four Seasons, The Diplomat, My Life with the Walter Boys, Survival of the Thickest, Geek Girl, Lincoln Lawyer, Sweet Magnolias, Devil May Cry, Beauty in Black, Nobody Wants This, A Man on the Inside, and The Vince Staples Show.
