Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce prove they're soulmates in every universe as rescued cheetah cubs named after them are writing their own 'Love Story'
In a heartwarming twist straight out of a fairy tale, two orphaned cheetah cubs rescued from the illegal wildlife trade are making headlines—not just for surviving, but for thriving together.
Named
Taylor Swift
and
Travis Kelce
, the adorable duo has formed an inseparable bond at a conservation center in Somaliland, sparkling smiles and a wild 'Love Story' of their own.
Orphaned cheetahs named Taylor and Travis find comfort—and love—in each other
At the Cheetah Conservation Fund's sanctuary, a heartwarming narrative of friendship and survival is playing out. It all began with a tiny cheetah cub, fittingly named Taylor Swift in a nod to the beloved music superstar.
This resilient cub, weighing a mere three pounds upon her arrival this past April, was a lucky rescue from the clutches of the illegal wildlife pet trade.
Brought to the Cheetah Rescue and Conservation Centre in Somaliland, she swiftly adapted to her secure new home, thriving under the dedicated care provided by the staff.
The center recently welcomed four new residents—a litter of orphaned siblings, also saved from the same unfortunate circumstances of illegal wildlife trafficking. These new arrivals were gently introduced to Taylor Swift once they had settled into their new surroundings.

Among them, a particular male cub quickly caught Taylor's attention, and a significant bond began to blossom between the two.
Observing this flourishing friendship, the staff at the cheetah center made a charming and fitting decision: they named the 5-month-old male cub Travis Kelce, inspired by the well-known athlete. According to the center, this cheetah, Travis Kelce, embodies qualities similar to his namesake, described as "playful, confident, and has a winning streak.'
The delightful bond between the two cubs has not gone unnoticed. As the center's staff shared in a statement, "Not only is [cub Taylor Swift] thriving, it looks like we have a little Love Story unfolding on the savannah." They further emphasized the depth of their connection, stating, "The two have become nearly inseparable—grooming each other, napping side by side, and occasionally partaking in friendly roughhousing.
"
The male cub's "rookie stats" include an approximate sitting height of 50 cm and a length of about 90 cm, along with impressive abilities like "climbing trees, running fast [and] scarfing down snacks." It's clear that this young male cheetah is also "fiercely protective of the things he likes most," a sentiment that undeniably includes his dear friend, Taylor Swift, the cheetah cub.\

Ju Haknyeon cleared of misconduct allegations: Police dismiss case due to lack of evidence
Former 'THE BOYZ' member Ju Haknyeon has been officially cleared of misconduct allegations involving former Japanese adult film actress Asuka Kirara. On July 2, the Seoul Gangnam Police Station confirmed that the complaint filed against him in June has been dismissed due to insufficient evidence. The allegations and fallout The controversy began in May 2025, when online rumours alleged that Ju Haknyeon had met with Asuka Kirara at a private lounge in Tokyo. Though no formal charges were filed, the speculation escalated rapidly. His agency, 'One Hundred,' responded by terminating his exclusive contract and announcing his departure from 'THE BOYZ.' Ju Haknyeon's response In the weeks following the reports by Pinkvilla, Ju Haknyeon broke his silence, saying, 'There was no illegal activity during my time in Japan.' He also expressed disagreement with the agency's decision by uttering, 'I had not agreed to leave THE BOYZ.' He further stated his intent to take legal action with 'I will pursue legal action against those who spread unverified and defamatory information.' Police statement: no grounds for investigation A formal complaint was submitted on June 19, requesting an official investigation. However, the police concluded that the complaint was 'largely based on an online article.' They emphasised that it 'lacked the concrete details or corroborating evidence necessary to justify an investigation.' Further, the authorities clarified that 'simply referencing media coverage does not meet the criteria required for a criminal investigation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Преносим лазерен заваръчен пистолет, 50% отстъпка днес HL Купете сега Undo ' Accuser's reaction The individual who filed the complaint expressed disappointment in the outcome, saying, 'I would like to make it clear that since the authorities have not determined that the accusation is false, it does not meet the legal requirements for a false accusation.'

When lungi-clad Kannada actor wielded shovel to fix craters
Bengaluru: For the past week, a curious sight has been stopping commuters in their tracks near Basavanahalli Circle on Nelamangala-Doddaballapur Road: A man with a shovel, with his lungi folded, toiling alongside a few workers to fill potholes on a five-kilometre stretch. The man is none other than Kannada film actor Vinod Raj. With the civic agency showing no signs of repairing the stretch, Raj took matters into his own hands to spare fellow motorists of the daily bone-rattling ride. He purchased raw-material, hired a tractor to transport the same and supervised the pothole-filling exercise. Several surprised motorists greeted the actor with handshakes and smiles. "I incurred an expense of up to Rs 5 lakh for filling up the potholes and repairing the road. I purchased jelly stones, M-sand, and cement. The daily rent for the tractor carrying them is Rs 1,000. I'm not doing anything great. I'm just following the footsteps of my mother and actor, the late Leelavathi," he said.

Some victims were farmers carrying their products to Nelamangala to sell.

The recent rain worsened the situation. Even I take this road to reach my farmhouse. Therefore, we decided to repair it," he said. According to Raj, he worked on the five-km stretch for around 10 days. "Soon, the work will be over. After the rainy season, we will fill the potholes using ECOFIX—a ready-to-use pothole repair mix developed by the Central Road Research Institute," he said. Recalling the days when the road was not asphalted, Raj said he would ask his mother why she purchased the farm which had no proper roads. "A few decades back, we drove on the rock-studded road to reach the farmhouse. Thousands of commuters use this road every day, and potholes are posing a threat to them," he said.

WWE star Roman Reigns and Galina Becker celebrates the birth of sixth child ahead of anticipated return
Roman Reigns and Galina Becker (Image Source: Getty) Roman Reigns has reached a big personal milestone: the WWE superstar and his wife, Galina Becker, have welcomed their sixth child to their family. The news came out hot from Q&A of the recent wrestling session, eliciting no negative reactions from fans, much like the rumors surrounding; just a few weeks after the brand owned by the WWE, Reigns' return to WWE. As always, the couple is private about their family life, and this time is no different. Reigns and Galina, who also share a daughter, Joelle, and two sets of twin boys, have welcomed another baby. While the name and gender have not been revealed yet, a recent Q&A session confirmed the news, which included reliable WWE insiders. Roman Reigns welcomes 6th child, continues extended break from WWE Roman Reigns was removed from the WWE setup shortly after WrestleMania 41, having been informally taken out by his assailants, Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker, in an attack post-WrestleMania 41 during a storyline. Even though his absence makes sense for the storyline, it's worth noting that many sources have hinted that Reigns is partly doing this to spend time with his family and personal life, as the newest member of the Anoa'i household just recently made the addition. This happened months after Reigns had been absent from the ring, but he still is a big topic of conversation in WWE. His merch remains top notch, and sources have indicated that his comeback is being plotted in the background. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo There have been internal WWE meetings where creative routes and concepts were discussed for his return. So clearly, the 'Tribal Chief' will be brought back as a major player. The news of this baby was confirmed during a WrestleVotes Q&A session, which was hosted by Joe Lowry: 'By the way, congratulations to Roman Reigns. He just had another baby. Good stuff there.' Information on the baby, like a name or sex, has been kept quiet by the couple's longstanding preference for privacy. Since welcoming their bundle of joy, Reigns and Becker have maintained a private family life. SummerSlam return likely on the horizon Sources in the industry say SummerSlam in August is the most likely place for Reigns to come back. According to the same report, WWE is working on some new branding assets for him, a possible character transformation. Whatever this comeback consists of, it could be all that comes back that can see a battle with any of The Bloodline members, perhaps a high-stakes skirmish including Solo Sikoa or Jimmy Uso, or could also just resemble his previous face-off with Seth Rollins before.

However, as WWE's biggest summer spectacle looms, it seems only a matter of time before the return of the Tribal Chief—and what could be an era-defining one. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.
