Kevin Connolly engaged
Kevin Connolly has got engaged. The Entourage actor has been dating Zulay Henao for seven years and on Friday (04.07.25), he popped the question in his hometown of Long Island, New York, in front of family members including their four-year-old daughter Kennedy. Zulay, 46, told People magazine: "It was intimate, personal and so full of love. Having Kennedy there made it unforgettable." Kevin got down on one knee to propose with a "timeless" and "elegant" diamond ring custom-designed by KC Sukamto. The jewellers created a "classic and modern" piece of jewellery featuring an emerald-cut solitaire with a hidden halo set in two-tone design with a gold band. The happy couple then celebrated with fireworks and an intimate dinner with their close family. Last month, the Modern Muze founder shared a touching tribute to Kevin on Father's Day. Sharing a selection of family photos, she wrote on Instagram: "Happy Father's Day Papi! We love you babe, thank you for being our home! You are Daddying beautifully, just look at the smiles in these pictures… muah baby." Kennedy was born amid the COVID-19 pandemic in June 2021, and the couple were in "awe" of their little girl. Announcing the tot's birth, Zulay wrote on her Instagram Story at the time: "She's really sweet and patient so far, not too much crying, just really curious about her surroundings. "I just watch in awe. She also has a huge appetite like her momma." Just six weeks later, Kevin and Kennedy contracted COVID-19 Kevin told Victory the Podcast: "I like to think I'm a pretty responsible person, even now that I have a baby. But I don't know, man … whatever this new Delta variant is. F*** man, I got sick. "It's been hard. Anyone that has a kid knows that it's hard when your kid is sick, you know? Because there's really nothing you can do for them." Kevin explained that his symptoms were "brutal" - but he was trying his best to cope with the illness. By contrast, he revealed that his daughter has been "doing great". Kevin explained: "It's just the congestion part, but the fever is down and we're all back on the road to recovery. It's a close call."

Pit Bull's Attempt to Avoid Leaving Grandma's House Is Just Too Cute
Pit Bull's Attempt to Avoid Leaving Grandma's House Is Just Too Cute originally appeared on Parade Pets. Extended family members hold a special place in our fur babies' hearts. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and close friends are a part of our pooches' tribe — sometimes they even have favorites. Zara the Pit Bull is obviously a big fan of her Grandma and apparently puts up a fuss when her visiting time comes to an end. In the TikTok from @zarathepit, Zara was spending some time at Grandma's house and pretended not to hear the call that it was time to go home. "My dog hides every time we have to leave Nana's house," the onscreen text revealed as Zara darted throughout the house trying to go unnoticed. Zara walked down the hall, minding her own business while checking behind her to see if she was being followed. Then the covert canine attempted to hide in the kitchen, finding cover under the kitchen table. She tried avoiding eye contact but knew she was cornered. The innocent look on the precious Pittie's face seemed to be saying, "Can't we stay just a few more minutes?" Grandparents have a reputation of spoiling their grandkids with special treats, extra snuggles, and basically a "carte blanche" rule in their home. Zara's refusal to leave hints that she enjoys this type of treatment at Nana's can speculate that Zara gets a lot of affection from her Grandma. Just like with humans, dogs release oxytocin — referred to as the "love hormone" — when they interact with humans. Snuggling, petting, and even eye contact with their loved ones sets off this hormone in dogs which strengthens their bond and warm feelings of affection. Our relationship with our dogs is a two-way street. Humans also release this hormone when they're with their fur babies and reap the benefits of this loving relationship. Canines express love in a variety of ways. Greeting you with excitement, snuggling and seeking affection, nuzzling with kisses, eye contact, asking to play, following you around — these are all signs of your fur baby's love. And it's the best! Hopefully Zara got to spend a few extra minutes with her Grandma! 🐶🐾🐾 Pit Bull's Attempt to Avoid Leaving Grandma's House Is Just Too Cute first appeared on Parade Pets on Jul 8, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade Pets on Jul 8, 2025, where it first appeared.
