Sia spotted holding hands with Harry Jowsey months after filing for divorce
Singer-songwriter Sia has sparked romance rumors after being seen holding hands with reality TV star Harry Jowsey, just four months after filing for divorce from husband Dan Bernard. The pair were photographed leaving Ca Del Sole restaurant in Los Angeles on Saturday night, smiling and displaying casual affection as they walked together. Sia, 49, wore a black long-sleeve dress paired with leopard print boots and styled her blonde hair in two French braids. Jowsey, 28, known for his appearance on Too Hot to Handle, sported an olive green button-up and pants over a white T-shirt. Representatives for the two have not yet responded to media inquiries, according to Page Six. Sia filed for divorce from Bernard in March 2024, citing irreconcilable differences after two years of marriage. Court documents revealed that the couple had secretly welcomed a child, Somersault Wonder, born on March 27, 2024. Sia requested full custody, while Bernard requested visitation rights. Jowsey, meanwhile, has kept busy with a number of high-profile projects and relationships. Most recently, he announced his upcoming Netflix reality series Let's Marry Harry, expected in 2026. The show will follow his journey to find love, with help from his close friend and podcast host Alex Cooper. He made the announcement during Netflix's Summer Break event at the Santa Monica Pier last Thursday. Over the years, Jowsey has been romantically linked to several public figures, including Too Hot to Handle co-star and ex-fiancée Francesca Farago, Dancing With the Stars partner Rylee Arnold, Love Is Blind alum Jessica Vestal, influencer Madeline Argy, and actress Lucy Hale. As of now, neither Sia nor Jowsey has confirmed the nature of their relationship.

Netflix Announce Slate of New and Returning Reality TV Shows
Peacock and Hulu have dominated the world of reality TV this year, but Netflix just issued a reminder that they've got the goods in the unscripted world, too. The streaming giant just announced a handful of new reality shows, in addition to the premiere dates for some of our favs, like Selling Sunset and Selling the OC. Find out what got renewed, and what new series you're going to want to add to your list. Simon Cowell and Harry Jowsey are coming to Netflix Last year, Netflix hired a new VP of unscripted named Jeff Gaspin. He said he wanted the streamer to focus less on 'cable-style shows' and put an emphasis on 'broadcast-style' shows. At an event this week called Summer Break, Netflix revealed what appears to be Jeff's vision. Their initial stab at broadcast-style reality is currently airing with Building the Band. In that same vein, they just shared that Simon Cowell will lead a singing competition called Simon Cowell: The Next Act. A handful of dating shows were greenlit for the next year. Harry Jowsey scored his own series called Let's Marry Harry. Additionally, Natalie Joy and Nick Viall will host a series called Age of Attraction. That will feature singles ranging from 22 to 59 going after each other without knowing each other's ages. Other greenlit series include some of the cable-style shows Jeff said he wanted to avoid. Members Only: Palm Beach arrives in December 2025 and sounds like it belongs on Bravo. It follows a group of women in navigating the 'high-stakes hierarchies of America's most rarefied social circles.' A similar program called Calabassas Confidential drops in 2026. Although the initial news about Netflix's new approach to reality TV made it seem like some of our favorites were at risk of cancellation, they announced a ton of returning shows along with their premiere dates. Here's what's coming: Love is Blind UK Season 2: August 13 Love is Blind Season 9: October 1 Selling Sunset Season 9: October 29 Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2: November 4 Selling the OC Season 4: November 12 Owning Manhattan Season 2: December 5 Notably, there were a handful of shows left out of the big reality TV event. The Circle, Selling the City, and Too Hot Too Handle remain in limbo, but clearly, we've got a lot of other options arriving soon.

Families facing childcare bill of up to £1,800 per child this summer
Childcare costs over the six-week summer break could cost working parents as much as £1,800, a charity has revealed. A survey by the children's charity Coram found while the average British parent will need to fork out £234 a week for a holiday childminder, in inner London it costs £306 a week – that's £1,800 for six weeks. It's the first time the annual survey has included childminder costs during the holidays alongside data on availability of places in childcare clubs provided by local authorities. Childcare costs have risen by 4 per cent across England, Wales and Scotland over the past year. But it's not just the cost of care that makes the six-week break harder for families, it's the lack of holiday childcare available. The survey found only 9 per cent of councils in England had enough spaces for at least 75 per cent of children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in their area. But this figure is even more stark in East Midlands, the East of England and inner London with no councils able to offer places to two thirds of children with SEND. Many councils do not have a clear picture of whether they have enough holiday childcare for the children in their area, with at least half responding 'data not held or cannot tell' for availability questions in the survey. However, where this information is known, those with older children, parents working atypical hours and children with SEND have the least availability of childcare. Lydia Hodges, Head of Coram Family and Childcare, said: 'The need for childcare doesn't finish at the end of term. Holiday childcare not only helps parents to work but gives children the chance to have fun, make friends and stay active during the school breaks. Yet all too often it is missing from childcare conversations. 'Whilst the increase in government -funded early education has reduced childcare costs for working parents of under-fives in England, prices for Holiday Childcare are going up for school-age children. This risks encouraging parents to work while their children are young, only to find it is not sustainable once their child starts school.' Ms Hodges argues childcare is an ongoing issue and following the survey the charity cannot be sure children, especially those with special educational needs and disabilities, are not missing out. 'We need a system that meets the needs of all children, with the ongoing security of free holiday childcare for disadvantaged families and timely help with bills for those who need it, so that no child misses out during school holidays,' she added. The charity is calling on the government to maintain the holiday activities and food (HAF) programme after March 2026 to make sure disadvantaged children have affordable childcare during school holidays. It also wants to see additional funding to holiday childcare providers to meet the needs of children with SEND and childcare made available to fit a range of parental working patterns.

How Leo is resuming a papal tradition this summer
Pope Leo XIV will resume the papal tradition of taking a summer break outside Rome, as announced by the Vatican on Tuesday. Leo will stay at the papal retreat of Castel Gandolfo, south of Rome, from 6-20 July for rest and again in August for the Assumption feast day. Pope Urban VIII built the palace in 1624 to provide popes an escape from the Roman summer. Its grounds span 55 hectares, larger than Vatican City. Pope Francis, who died just after Easter, never took summer vacations during his 12-year papacy, but his predecessors John Paul II and Benedict XVI frequented Castel Gandolfo. Leo will deliver the traditional Angelus blessing to the faithful at Castel Gandolfo on 13 and 20 July and 15 and 17 August, with public audiences at the Vatican suspended for most of July, resuming on 30 July.

Atlanta food program addresses students' nutritional needs over summer break
Parents and guardians in Atlanta who need help feeding their children have ways of accomplishing that close to home. The city of Atlanta kicked off its annual Summer Food Program Monday, which lasts through July 25. Hours vary by location. The program will serve lunch onsite to school-aged children in low-income areas up to age 18. The program is a joint effort between the Department of Parks and Recreation and the Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning's Bright from the Start program. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] The program will provide meals to children at eight city outdoor pools, four Atlanta-Fulton Public Libraries and one splashpad. Locating a City of Atlanta summer meal food site is simple. Parents or caregivers can call 404-546-3122 or go online and enter their zip code to find the nearest service provider. A complete list of providers can also be found on the Department of Parks and Recreation's website. The city's Summer Food Program will continue the Mobile Feeding Program on Wheels for families without transportation. Camp Best Friends participants are eligible for free breakfast and lunch. Mayor Andre Dickens said some families depend on public schools for nutritious meals. 'This program is critical so that the city can stand in the gap during Summer Break,' he said. The federally funded collaboration between the City and Bright from the Start serves communities where food insecurity and accessibility can threaten children's well-being. This summer, the aim is to serve an average of 3,000 meals daily to Atlanta children, totaling more than 150,000 meals by the end of summer.
