From Lowkey Lovin' To Locked In: Coco Jones & Donovan Mitchell Announce Their Engagement
Talk about a hard launch! Source: On Friday July 11, Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell and R&B singer Coco Jones appeared to announce their engagement. While their posts went up without a caption officially announcing an engagement, they made the announcement pretty obvious. Both stars posted the same picture of the them kissing on Instagram, with Jones resting her hand on Mitchell's chest and showing off her huge rock. Included in the NBA star's post is an aerial video of himself seemingly popping the question. While their relationship hasn't been private, the couple has never officially announced their union until now. Romance rumors first started in July 2024, when Jones and Mitchell were seen together at Michael Rubin's famous Fourth of July White Party. According to Times of India, Mitchell brought his sister, Jordan, and Jones was spending time with both of them. But as early as January, Jones was seen at the Paris Olympics, where Mitchell was playing with Team USA. In September 2024, they were spotted together, once again, at an Usher concert in Las Vegas, holding hands. Jones went on to attend a courtside Cavaliers game in December 2024. Jones finally confirmed their relationship in an interview with Shannon Sharpe on an episode of Club Shay Shay in March 2025. When asked about her various sightings with Mitchell, the actress responded, 'I love the internet because they definitely clocked my tea. Little spies everywhere. I'm happy and I will say, my music is my outlet where I tell my stories and my truth. Some things I keep for myself because this is my life, too. I say some things and you can hear it on my album.' Jones continued, 'Secrecy is not what I prefer. I don't want to feel like I have to be somebody secret. I don't want to make anybody feel like they're mine. For me, I'm trying to protect myself, and I'm trying to protect my family and who I love, so I am more private.'

Conjoined twin Carmen Andrade got married, and many have comments. Has it gone too far?
As conjoined twins, Carmen and Lupita Andrade are used to intrusive and inappropriate comments. After all, the 25-year-old sisters have spoken about receiving unwanted questions on TikTok and YouTube, where they've amassed over 18,000 and 255,000 followers respectively. So it's not a shock that now that news is circulating of Carmen's wedding last October, the sisters are once again getting fielding endless comments from people on the internet. "I know we're all wondering the same thing here…" one person wrote on Instagram, in a comment on Today's post sharing the news. "My mind cannot comprehend..." wrote another. "I could write and produce a 6 season TV show with the questions I have in my head (right now)." The Andrade sisters have made it clear they're done answering people's questions, at least for now. Carmen put it bluntly in her Instagram bio, writing: "this isn't a Q&A account. Don't care about your curiosity like you didn't care about my feelings" A post shared by Carmen Andrade (@carmen_soland) Carmen and Lupita aren't the only conjoined twins who've dealt with unwanted attention. Last year, Brittany and Abigail Hensel − conjoined twins who starred on the series "Abby & Brittany" in 2012 − received similar commentary when reports surface Abigail had a private wedding in 2021. Experts in disability and media studies told USA TODAY at the time the heightened fascination around the Hensels' personal relationships illuminates a lot about how people treat and talk about those with unusual bodies. The same holds true for the Andrade sisters. More: Conjoined twins Abby, Brittany Hensel back in spotlight after wedding speculation. It's gone too far. The truth is, conjoined twins, like anyone else, deserve to live a normal life and not spark discussion when they do so. "We see something where this is unusual, this is exciting, this is a little out of the ordinary, and it's not something that many people are equipped to talk about very well," Elizabeth Ellcessor, an associate professor of media studies at the University of Virginia and author of the book "Restricted Access: Media, Disability, and the Politics of Participation," previously told USA TODAY. Ellcessor noted a lot of comments and media coverage present events like these as "something remarkable" but it's helpful to remember people "get married all the time." Why are people so fascinated by Carmen Andrade's wedding? Carmen and Lupita Andrade shared details of Carmen's wedding at the end of a YouTube video posted in late May. In it, the twins revealed Carmen married her boyfriend Daniel about seven months prior in a small ceremony with just their local family members. In a Today article published July 10, Carmen shared they eloped in October. Today reports Carmen and Daniel met on the dating app Hinge in 2020. Not all the attention the twins have received in the wake of this news has been negative; they've gotten plenty of supportive comments too. "Love seeing people happy," one person wrote on Instagram. "At this point love is love. No judging," wrote another. A post shared by Carmen Andrade (@carmen_soland) On the one hand, fascination around conjoined twins is to be expected, Alice Dreger, a historian, bioethicist and the author of "One of Us: Conjoined Twins and the Future of Normal," previously told USA TODAY. After all, conjoined twins are rare, and people are often fascinated by the lives of those in unusual circumstances. "People have always been fascinated by conjoined twins because they obviously represent a challenge to the way we think about individuality," Dreger said. "We normally think of individuality as being about one person existing in one expansive skin, and, for conjoined twins like Abigail and Brittany, they are are obviously two people in one expansive skin." More: Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sánchez are having a luxury wedding. The internet is enraged. This fascination, however, becomes problematic when it gives way to exploitation and the violation of others' privacy. The Hensel twins, for instance, have kept a relatively low public profile outside their television appearances, giving the impression they aren't interested in sharing every detail of their lives with the world. The Andrade twins have been open with answering some questions on social media, but on their own terms − and they've made it clear they find constant questioning from the public exhausting. What health & wellness means for you: Sign up for USA TODAY's Keeping It Together newsletter Ellcessor explained fascination around conjoined twins' romantic relationships is especially inappropriate, because it often stems from "prurient sexual interest." Therefore, it makes sense that conjoined twins tend to "have no interest in answering follow-up questions" on this topic. "This is not anyone else's business," Ellcessor added. How should we talk about Carmen and Lupita Andrade? Ellcessor added it's essential for any discussion about conjoined twins' private lives to happen on their terms, not anyone else's, and to let the twins take the lead on what's OK for speculation and what's not. "The best advice is to prioritize their voices and their wishes," she said. "What do they want to share? What do they want us to know?" It's also important to remember to treat people with unusual bodies as human beings rather than as anomalies. Is 'the spark' a red flag? Sometimes. Experts say look for this in a relationship instead And, if they choose to not open their lives to discussion, it's important to respect that. "The experience of having a body that's different depends on the culture that's around you," Dreger said. "In fact, throughout history, most conjoined twins have chosen to live in small towns for I think exactly this reason: that they can live peaceful lives without constant interference."

Girl Confronts Parents Are Learning Secret They Were Hiding: 'How Dare You'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A married couple took a solo trip away without their kids, only for their daughter to outrageously present them with evidence weeks later. Nayeli Tirado, 33, an educator and content creator, lives in Yuma, Arizona, with her husband Orlando, 36, and their two children: Emma, six, and five-month-old Luca. Recently, Tirado and her husband embarked on an adults-only getaway, which she told Newsweek they "don't do often, but it was really special to have that one-on-one time as a couple." The couple hit Disneyland—somewhere they've been before with their children, Tirado describing it as "the Disney love runs deep" in their family. "We love going to Vegas, we love going wine tasting and little getaways like that too, but we also genuinely love Disneyland," she explained. "And we truly believe it can be enjoyed with children and without children; and both experiences, although very different, are magical in their own unique ways."

Instagram @ While on their trip, they got special Disney badges which declared they were celebrating having "no kids" with them—and after their return, the badges were discovered by none other than their daughter Emma. "Her reaction was hilarious," Tirado said, clarifying their daughter knew about the solo trip and was presented with souvenirs on their return. "She found the pins a couple of weeks later in our 'Disneyland Box,' and since she recently started reading, she spotted the 'no kids'—that's when I pulled out my phone and caught her cute dramatic reaction." In a video shared to Tirado's Instagram account, @ in May, she recorded six-year-old Emma holding up the evidence to the camera, and repeatedly demanding: "How dare you?" Emma, wearing a Disney's Lilo & Stitch t-shirt, is smiling as she confronts her mother with the pins, and Tirado, too, can be heard laughing behind the camera. She wrote in the caption: "Hide the evidence better, people!" Tirado said her daughter "has such a great sense of humor, and her ability to catch on to sarcasm and joke about things like that is one of my favorite things about her." Viewers had a huge reaction, awarding the video close to half a million likes, as one commenter joked: "As a bartender that works at Disney World, I pour extra heavy when I see pins like this." Another shared that she and her husband had day passes to Disneyland, and would go on "day dates" while "the kids were in school." Some were outraged on Emma's behalf, as one wrote: "I couldn't fathom my husband and I going to Disney without our kids. That's so weird to me I wouldn't even have a good time," and another said: "I think it's weird when grown-ups go to Disney without children."

Responding to the criticism, Tirado said they believe "it's healthy for adults in general to take little breaks when possible, even if it's to a place as magical as Disney. For parents, a little recharge goes a long way for the whole family." She added that they live relatively close to the theme park, "so going often, and even occasionally without the kids, doesn't feel strange to us," but understood that it might have appeared odd to people to whom a Disney trip means flights, detailed planning, and long hotel stays. In 2023, Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, was the most visited theme park in the world, with 17.72 million visitors. Anaheim, California's Disneyland, where Tirado's family regularly visits, was second—coming in at 17.25 annual visitors, according to Statista. And, Tirado revealed, she and her husband had a surprise trip to Disney planned for their daughter just weeks later. To celebrate her graduating from kindergarten, they pretended they were taking her to school, only to reveal they were on the way to the theme park instead. "It was such a heartfelt moment, and seeing her reaction was everything," proud mom Tirado said. "At the end of the day, we believe it's healthy for parents to have alone time and to occasionally do the things they enjoyed before having children without feeling guilty about it. We believe that when parents take care of themselves, they show up even better for their families. "And if you're someone who grew up going to Disney and find comfort in that place, it's okay to come back and reminisce." Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures you want to share?
