Barcelona captain Marc-Andre ter Stegen opens up on separation from wife and media reporting
Barcelona captain Marc-Andre ter Stegen has explained that the damage done by the reporting of his separation from wife Dani ter Stegen (nee Jehle) remains irreparable. The German goalkeeper announced his parting of ways from Dani in March, and asked for privacy, but shortly after, it was reported that the motive was Jehle's unfaithfulness.

During an interview with BILD carried by El Desmarque, ter Stegen explained that the whole situation was tragic.
'I find it tragic that such accusations are being made without any consideration. The person most affected by this was, of course, Dani, and I felt so sorry for her because she didn't deserve it. It's completely disrespectful, and I find it absurd that these people weren't ashamed to cross such a line, especially having children.'
Ter Stegen then took to social media to publicly deny their claims, and named the journalists involved. He called the reports false news, and directly denied that Dani had been involved romantically with anyone else. The journalists involved would then offer up an apology in the following days.

'This is a small first step in the right direction. The fact that we received so much positive feedback on our response doesn't make me happy at all. In the end, it was completely inappropriate. It remains irreparable.'
Meanwhile the 32-year-old explained that Dani and his two children, Ben and Tom, are all living close by in Barcelona currently.

'We have two fantastic children and are finding the right fit for our new situation. Dani and the kids still live here. We currently live five minutes away from each other, which is obviously perfect for me. I see the kids every day, and as long as that continues, I'll be the happiest person in the world.'
Ter Stegen has spent most of this season out injured following a horrific knee problem in September that required surgery. The Blaugrana captain recently returned to training after six months of rehabilitation though, and is aiming to come back before the end of the season. He will have to convince manager Hansi Flick that he should drop Wojciech Szczesny first though.

Things are getting worse: The case of Barcelona and Ter Stegen will go to court!
Who will ultimately win the case that goes to court? Getty Images One day, as the problems between Messi and Bartomeu's administration escalated, Messi made his historic statement to a media outlet: "I will not go to court against the club of my life!" And that is exactly what happened. Messi never went to court and never faced Barcelona in that courtroom. However, it seems that things are a little different here, as recently, the dispute between Barcelona and the German Ter Stegen has actually escalated. Things are getting worse The Catalan club has taken a firm stance against their German goalkeeper, with club officials now preparing for courtroom proceedings. Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo reports Barcelona's leadership believes they hold a strong legal position in the dispute. At the heart of the conflict lies the club's accusation of bad faith conduct by the 33-year-old shot-stopper. The situation deteriorated when Ter Stegen allegedly refused to submit required medical reports regarding his injury - an act Barcelona management viewed as direct insubordination, prompting disciplinary measures. While the goalkeeper's contract runs through 2028, tensions reached breaking point following his recent clash with manager Hansi Flick. Ter Stegen has made clear he considers the club's treatment unacceptable and intends to fight any forced exit.

King Of The Hill's Mike Judge And Showrunner Explained One Important Change To Bobby They Made As An Adult
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. King Of The Hill is now out in the 2025 TV schedule, and while it's great to see Hank and friends back for more fun and adventures, a lot has changed since we saw them last. CinemaBlend discovered as much with creator Mike Judge talking about how the series isn't meant to be nostalgic, but he also talked about a major change with Bobby Hill that was heavily discussed ahead of the return. Those with a Hulu subscription can watch all ten episodes right now, and if they do, they'll see Bobby has changed a lot since Hank worried quite a bit about his son. He's off in Dallas, living with Joseph, and running a restaurant that is a fusion of Japanese and German cuisine. He has all this at only 21 years old, and Mike Judge talked about how his father plays into that amount of success at a young age: We talked about a bunch of different things. And then the idea of, you know, what if Bobby inherited his dad's work ethic? At his restaurant, he still gets to kind of be a showy guy and whatever as a chef. It just seemed right. Having him go off and be on Broadway or something seemed a little too goofy, if you will. As fun as it might've been to make Bobby a successful show pony as an adult doing anything from being a rodeo clown to a prop comic, King of the Hill's creative team wanted to make a more realistic outcome for Bobby, and they landed on co-owning a restaurant in a big city and living with Joseph Gribble. As is touched on in King of the Hill, Bobby decided to opt out of going to college, and immediately went to work making his dream of running a Robatayaki once he got out of high school. Showrunner Saladin Patterson said that Bobby's decision to go right into the workforce was a topic of much discussion, and one deliberately made at the request of the co-creators Greg Daniels and Mike Judge: I know it's important to Greg and Mike what we're gonna say about today and now, and putting Bobby in a situation where he didn't go to college, we can make a statement about the fact that going to college doesn't put you ahead the way it used to. Bobby seems like the kind of kid who could walk that path. It was important to Greg and Mike to show what parts of Hank was instilled and stayed in. Put him in a working environment so we can see he has his work ethic. He takes it very seriously. He's found his propane and propane accessories. So I think that was what was important to show. A lot has changed in King of the Hill since Hank and Peggy returned from Saudi Arabia, both locally and politically. While it may come as a surprise about how Bobby turned out as an adult, there is some more predictable elements to the series. For example, I'm sure no one will be shocked that Bill went into seclusion once the Hills left, and no one knew how to get him out until Hank returned. More On King of the Hill King Of The Hill Struggled To Figure Out What To Do About Bobby's Voice In The Revival It's all part of the fun of seeing the series return, as King of the Hill very deliberately makes Hank a fish out of water in 2025. Years in Saudi Arabia have made him unaware of the etiquette of rideshare services, or all sorts of other tech his friends have had to contend with. As someone who saw all ten episodes ahead of their release, I was a big fan of the return. While the pilot episode felt a bit wonky due to needing to set up the return, the rest of the series feels in line with classic episodes of King of the Hill. As a longtime fan, I was more than happy, and am hoping we hear more about future episodes soon. Hulu: 30-Day Free TrialWatch King of the Hill and a whole lot more right now with Hulu.

Orlando Bloom Has Access to Katy Perry & Justin Trudeau's Inside Story, Claims Source
Recently, Katy Perry has been sparking dating rumors with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau following her separation from her ex-fiancé, Orlando Bloom. The singer and politician were spotted dining together at the Le Violon restaurant in Montreal. However, the duo is yet to confirm the speculation. On the other hand, Perry's ex, Bloom, is reportedly 'cool' about the ongoing buzz. Orlando Bloom believes there's nothing 'romantic' about Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau rumors, claims source As per Rob Shuter's exclusive #ShuterScoop report, Orlando Bloom isn't bothered by Katy Perry's new 'friendship' with Justin Trudeau. Sources told the outlet that the actor engaged in a heart-to-heart conversation with the pop icon regarding her dinner outing with a politician. However, Bloom is not paying attention to the rumors. An insider confirmed to Shuter that the former couple has 'talked.' They said, 'There's nothing hidden. Orlando trusts her — and he doesn't believe there's anything romantic going on.' Most recently, the actor has subtly reacted to Perry and Trudeau's dating buzz on social media. On August 1, Bloom commented under the post of a satirical news site that seemingly shaded Perry and Trudeau's date.

Bloom gave his reaction in the comment section by dropping a few clapping hands emojis. As for Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau, they sparked dating rumors after pictures from their Montreal date went viral. Additionally, the two high-profile celebrities went on a dog walk, and the politician even attended Perry's The Lifetimes Tour concert in the city. As per PEOPLE's source, the duo shares an attraction. 'They are interested in each other, but it will take a while to see where this goes,' the source added. 'Their own personal responsibilities could make this relationship move slower than it would, but there are ways to see the other and still fulfill their parenting responsibilities.' The insider concluded, 'For one thing, they each have an ex. So, duties are split in half. And long-distance relationships, while still hard, are possible for these two.'
