'Pregnancy was tough and I'm not going to lie, adjusting to my new body, it took a toll,' she told KIND Magazine in 2023 about her two pregnancies. 'But then I realised I had to pull myself out of this for my children. But then I realised again, that that wasn't quite right either—I had to pull myself out of it for my relationship with Dustin. I had to pull myself out of it for me.'
'The example I set for my kids with Dustin is we have to do it together. We're not always on the same page, but we trust each other enough so that I know he's doing right by our children and he knows I'm doing right by our kids—we talk about it, but at the fundamental level is trust,' she said to Kind Magazine.
'It's just unbelievable. Dustin's the best dad, he's my best friend. He's been so supportive with me and we're just there for each other,' Gretzky said to ABC News about how grateful she is to have her husband and the father of her children is her best friend.
In a dual interview with her mom for Palm Beach Illustrated, it was said that her sons call their grandparents Honey and Papa, and that they often pick them up from school.
While she wasn't the one to reveal this, we're still counting it! Her husband Johnson told the Daily Mail that Paulina chose River's name. He said, 'I don't know where she got it. I tried to ask. She said, 'I don't know, I just like the name.''
Despite having a famous dad and a famous husband, it's the usual for Paulina; and her two sons. 'His patience is fantastic. No ego, and it was funny seeing the kids realise who their dad is, and who my dad is, but we don't want them to be raised differently. Of course we want them to know that they're special, everyone is. But around the house, my dad is grandpa and Dustin is dad,' she said to KIND.
So, Gretzky says that she's not only open to having more kids, but she'd love to have a baby girl!On the Netchicks podcast, she said: 'I want to have one more. But like my dilemma is, whatever happens, happens. I would love a girl! But I want to enjoy being 32, 33, and then hopefully, if I'm lucky enough, then I get to have one more at 34.'

Blake Griffin shares bizarre Donald Sterling locker room encounter
More than a decade after he was banned from the NBA, the bizarre Donald Sterling stories are still flowing. Former Clippers star Blake Griffin detailed an awkward locker room interaction he had with the franchise's former owner during an appearance on 'The Adam Friedland Show' this week. 'He would come in with his crew, it'd be like 10-12 people with him in the locker room. And we'd all have towels on,' Griffin recalled. 'One time, I'm in a towel, [Sterling] comes over, grabs my arm, and he's got all his people in there and he goes, 'Let's hear it for our number one star, hip hip!' And he raised my arm, and all these people go 'hooray!' Advertisement 3 Blake Griffin apparently had some weird interactions with former Clippers owner Donald Sterling. Adam Friedland Show/YouTube 'And I'm sitting there holding the towel going 'hip hip, hooray!' He did it three times.' The No. 1 overall pick in 2009 also told the story of a time Sterling told some in attendance at one of his white parties to touch Griffin's ab and arm muscles.

AP 'I was like 19 years old,' Griffin said. It's far from the first time Griffin, who spent eight-plus seasons with the Clippers, has ripped the disgraced Sterling. In a 2014 piece for The Players' Tribune, Griffin described Sterling as his 'weird uncle,' and stated that he had long known he was 'really, really a racist' and 'off his rocker.'

Stiviano of a racist rant by Sterling — where he told Stiviano not to bring 'black people' to his games — emerged. Sterling also told Stiviano, 'You can sleep with [black people]. You can bring them in, you can do whatever you want. The little I ask you is not to promote it on that [Instagram] and not to bring them to my games.'

Next season, Griffin will serve as an analyst alongside Dirk Nowitzki and host Taylor Rooks on Amazon's new NBA studio show.

Steph Curry's secret weapons in golf? A YouTuber and his college hoops teammate
STATELINE, Nev. — Stephen Curry and Jason Richards share deep personal history. They formed the starting backcourt at Davidson for two seasons, with Richards playing point guard and baby-faced Curry scurrying around off the ball. Curry and Alex Riggs share a different kind of history. Curry watched some of Riggs' golf instructional videos on YouTube four or five years ago, liked the way he explained the swing and reached out on Instagram, a digital cold call. And now Richards and Riggs both are instrumental members of the Curry golf team. Their presence was unmistakable Friday at Edgewood Tahoe in the opening round of the American Century Championship. Curry started slowly, posted three birdies on the back nine and finished with 21 points in the modified Stableford scoring system, two behind former San Jose Sharks standout Joe Pavelski. Curry will begin play Saturday tied for third in the celebrity tournament alongside Lake Tahoe, well positioned to chase the title he memorably won two years ago. 49ers' George Kittle catches passes, smacks shots, muses on season ahead Warriors' Steph Curry talks hoops ahead of his return to Tahoe celebrity golf tourney His connection to Richards traces to the 2006-07 college basketball season, when Curry arrived at Davidson amid little fanfare — long before he was world-famous Steph Curry. Richardson, two years older, was entrenched at point guard. Curry slid into the lineup alongside him. He promptly committed 13 turnovers in his debut, against Eastern Michigan, before bouncing back the next night to score 32 points against Michigan. Their bond grew over the years and ultimately stretched onto the golf course, where Richards started serving as Curry's caddie at Edgewood about five years ago. 'We know each other so well, we call ourselves 'hand and glove' from Davidson,' Curry told the Chronicle after Friday's round. 'He knows how to kind of challenge me if I'm thinking ridiculous on the course, or keep me having confidence. It's just fun.' Or, as Richards said, 'When you're college teammates, there's a special bonding experience. That carries over. You go through a lot of ups and downs on a basketball team, and we sure did in those two years.' Friday offered one example of Curry momentarily 'thinking ridiculous,' and Richards bringing him back. Curry had resurrected his round with consecutive birdies on Nos. 14 and 15, before momentum-halting bogeys on the next two holes. Then his drive on No. 18 drifted into the gallery on the right, his path to the green blocked by trees. At first Curry planned to punch the ball back onto the fairway. Then he contemplated boldly threading a shot over the tree branches in front of him. Richards suggested hitting a low shot toward the green, aggressive but safely underneath the branches. Curry listened. He followed with a spectacular third shot, a soft pitch onto the green, to set up his final birdie of the day. Curry acknowledged Richards' help in making the decision, and also the value of his own self-awareness. 'That was knowing I'm not a professional golfer, and I want to win this tournament,' he said. 'This is kind of a cool shot, let's go for it. That's kind of what happened, and it worked out.' All the while, Riggs watched closely as he walked inside the ropes. His back story is interesting: He grew up in Saskatchewan, Canada, moved to Florida to teach golf and has been based in Dubai (in the United Arab Emirates) the past 14 years, working at a club there. He's posted 129 instructional videos on YouTube, some of which caught the attention of Curry, a self-acknowledged golf geek. He sent Riggs an unsolicited direct message, which Riggs initially thought was a bot until he saw the check mark verifying the sender really was Stephen Curry. They went back and forth a few times, leading to Curry sending Riggs an eight-minute video of his swing to break down. Then they connected in person in the summer of 2022, when Riggs came to the U.S. to visit tour players, celebrities and amateurs he tutors. Curry thought Riggs explained the golf swing in a sensible, easy-to-understand way, so they started working together each summer. Not coincidentally, in Curry's mind, his golf game soon improved. 'I didn't have much time in '22, after the Finals, but I kind of grinded and the foundation from that led to the summer of '23. And then we won,' Curry said, referring to his victory at Edgewood. 'So now he's kind of part of the crew, not just because of golf but he's also just a great dude. He has a great presence about him.' Curry's crew in Tahoe flows with family and friends, most notably Friday's playing partners — his dad, Dell, and brother Seth. Some lesser-known people also make the annual trip, filling notable roles in Curry's quest to excel as a golfer.

‘Tiger King' Joe Exotic seeking Trump pardon
Jailed reality TV star Joe Exotic is once again asking President Trump for a pardon. Netflix's 'Tiger King' star, whose real name is Joseph Maldonado, called on Trump 'to listen to the voice[s] of' Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert (Colo.) and other public figures as well as 'the millions of people around the world to make this right and allow me to go home.' Earlier this year, Boebert signaled she supported a pardon of Maldonado, who was sentenced in January 2020 to a 22-year prison sentence over a murder-for-hire plot against animal rights activist Carole Baskin. Maldonado first asked for a pardon during Trump's first term, sending a handwritten letter to the White House in September 2020. The president, at the time, said he would 'take a look.' Then, in 2021, during former President Biden's term, he asked again and found no success. Maldonado railed against Biden earlier this after the outgoing president provided blanket pardons to some of his family member. 'If I was a crack dealer, maybe if I broke in the capital [sic] or even have been related to the Bidens. I might have gotten some relief on being in prison innocent,' he said in January. He also slammed Trump this spring after the president pardoned Todd and Julie Chrisley's tax evasion and fraud charges. 'This officially shows the Justice system is still two-sided. You are either rich and connected or your poor and being trafficked by the system,' Maldonado posted on Instagram on May 27. In this week's call for a pardon, Maldonado said an appeal for a new trial was denied.
