SAS: Who Dares Wins star Jason Fox, 48, welcomes newborn son five weeks prematurely with his third wife Jules Foxter
SAS: Who Dares Wins star Jason Fox was all smiles on Thursday as he announced the birth of his son on Instagram. The TV star and former Royal Marine, 48, better known as Foxy, welcomed Jack with his third wife, Jules Foxter. He wrote: 'Jack Conrad Fox. 8th June 2025. Five weeks early. '[Jules Foxter] has been and is amazing! He is epic! Also brilliant at immobilising me!' Jason accompanied the announcement with a series of snaps of himself with his son, selfies with Jules, and pictures of the newborn in a white baby grow. The star has two other children - Honor, 14, who he shares with his second wife Lucy Culkin and another daughter Amy who he shares from another previous relationship. Well-wishers were quick to flood the post with messages of congratulations, writing: 'Congratulations to you all Foxy. He's an absolute beaut!'; 'Oh he's tiny. Congratulations to you all!'; 'Congratulations good date to be born on he will be a warrior.'; 'Amazing!- nothing better. Feels surreal doesn't it?! Enjoy your #babymoon.' The TV star took to Instagram earlier this year to announce his impending arrival. Alongside a picture of the baby's ultrasound, he wrote: 'As good a time as any to say that this time next year there'll be a new sheriff (mum) in town for Mother's Day! 'So proud of you @julesfoxter in how you've approached and taken on this long journey…' Jason, who is the longest-serving cast member on SAS: Who Dares Wins, has candidly spoken about his life in the spotlight after developing PTSD following two decades in the army. But despite his own struggles, Jason told the Metro that he would be 'fully behind' his children if they chose to join the military but said that he would advise them to 'think long and hard' about joining. Explaining how he got into TV, he said: 'I found myself in serious financial schtuck with no job and medically discharged with PTSD, which didn't lend itself very well to the jobs that would have suited me. 'Then a mate gave me a job looking after a TV crew. It went well and my name came up when they were discussing SAS: Who Dares Wins.' Jason has since built an incredibly successful career on the show and become known as a no-nonsense coach on the quasi-military training Channel 4 program.

Tariffs Got Your Portfolio Down? These High-Yield Dividend Stocks Could Benefit From the Market Turmoil.
The stock market has taken a nasty tumble this week. Stocks have sold off because the tariffs levied by the Trump administration were much higher than the market feared. Many economists worry they could spark a trade war that could ignite a global economic slowdown. However, there is at least one silver lining to all the market turmoil: The yield on U.S. Treasury bonds has declined. The 10-year note's yield has fallen below 4%, well off its peak above 4.75% earlier in the year. The 10-year rate is a key benchmark for the real estate sector. As it falls, the value of commercial real estate tends to rise. It also makes it much cheaper to borrow money to fund new real estate investments and refinance existing debt. Because of that, the market turmoil could give real estate investment trusts (REITs) a big boost. Here are three low-risk REITs to consider buying amid the market turmoil. Realty Income (NYSE: O) owns a globally diversified portfolio of commercial real estate (retail, industrial, gaming, and other properties). It net leases these properties to many of the world's leading companies. Those net leases provide it with very stable income because tenants cover all operating costs, including routine maintenance, real estate taxes, and building insurance. The REIT pays out about 75% of its stable cash flow in dividends (5.7% current yield). It retains the rest to invest in additional income-producing properties. Realty Income also has one of the strongest balance sheets in the sector, giving it additional flexibility to invest in income-generating properties. Despite its financial strength, higher rates have constrained its ability to raise additional capital from investors to fund accretive acquisitions. For example, it invested less than $3.9 billion last year and initially only plans to invest $4 billion this year. That's well below its investment level before rising rates took full effect ($6.4 billion in 2021, $9.5 billion in 2022, and $9 billion in 2023). The decline in the 10-year should lower the REIT's cost of capital, allowing it to ramp up its investment volume and grow faster. W. P. Carey (NYSE: WPC) also owns a globally diversified real estate portfolio (industrial, warehouse, retail, self-storage, and other properties) net leased to high-quality tenants. The stable cash flow from those leases supports its high-yielding dividend (5.9%). The REIT grows that payout by investing in additional income-generating properties. However, "Given the uncertainty in the broader over the direction of interest rates and other macroeconomic factors," commented CEO Jason Fox in the REIT's fourth-quarter earnings report, the company offered conservative investment guidance to start the year. It expects to invest between $1 billion and $1.5 billion this year. The CEO noted, "We can fund our investments this year without needing to access the equity market, achieved through accretive sales of noncore assets -- including self-storage operating properties -- which should generate a meaningful spread to our net lease investments." However, with interest rates improving, the REIT should be able to raise additional capital at attractive costs. That would allow it to ramp up its investment volume and grow even faster. EPR Properties (NYSE: EPR) owns a portfolio of experiential real estate (movie theaters, eat-and-play venues, attractions, and other properties). It net leases these properties to companies that operate the experiences. Those leases provide it with very stable income to pay its 7.7%-yielding dividend. The REIT estimates it can self-fund $200 million to $300 million of new property investments this year with post-dividend free cash flow, noncore property sales, and borrowings on its credit facility. At that rate, it can grow its cash flow per share by 3% to 4% per year while delivering a similar dividend growth rate (it recently hiked its payout by 3.5%). Like most REITs, higher interest rates have increased its cost of capital. However, with rates falling, EPR Properties could tap the capital markets to raise additional money to ramp up its investment rate and grow even faster. Realty Income, W.P. Carey, and EPR Properties pay high-yielding dividends supported by their income-generating properties. The REITs produce enough cash after paying dividends to grow their portfolios and dividends, albeit relatively slowly. However, with rates falling, these REITs could ramp up their investment volume this year and grow even faster. That could enable them to produce higher total returns in the future, making them look like compelling dividend stocks to buy amid the current tariff-driven market sell-off.
