Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry split in July after nearly a decade together. The pair has an on-again, off-again relationship that gave them a daughter, Daisy Dove, in August of 2020. Orlando also has a son, 14-year-old Flynn, whom he shares with his ex-wife, Miranda Kerr. Holidays can be challenging after a breakup, but according to Orlando’s Instagram stories, he’s having fun. The Deep Cover star shared a sweet photo with his two children standing near the steps of a beautifully decorated harvest porch. Orlando Bloom blurred out his children’s faces, but his smile speaks for the entire family. Orlando Bloom Adores His Children He loves spending time with his children and wants them to know how important they are to him. He told People in a 2024 interview that he likes old-fashioned family values. “Family time is, for me, a meal together. Sitting down at a table,” Orlando said. “It is going out on a walk or going on an adventure. It’s games, it’s play; It’s connection; It’s holding hands and hugging. And telling people you love them a lot.” During an interview with Today in July, Orlando Bloom spoke about his breakup from Katy Perry and how he and his children were dealing with it. “I’m great, man. I’m so grateful. We have the most beautiful daughter,” he said. “You know, when you leave everything on the field, like I did in this movie, I feel grateful for all of it. And we’re great. We’re going to be great. It’s nothing but love.” Orlando’s sentiment echoed a statement released shortly after the breakup. “Due to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry’s relationship, representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting,” the statement said. “They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is — and always will be — raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect.” This story’s featured image is by Michael Buckner/WWD via Getty Images.

As we’ve often exposed here at MRC Latino, the last decade of Univision’s news coverage has been driven by reflexive opposition to Donald Trump and by Latino identity politics. A recent news report engages in both while casting a soft spotlight on one New York Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani’s transition chairs. Watch as anchor Elian Zidan frames a puff piece of United Way of New York CEO and Mamdani transition co-chair Grace Bonilla (no relation): ELIAN ZIDAN: Grace Bonilla, the daughter of Ecuadorian immigrants and a New Yorker from Queens, is the first Latina president of The United Way, New York City's largest nonprofit organization, which helps hundreds of thousands with food and healthcare. Now Bonilla is also a transition co-chair for Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, and spoke with Fabiola Galindo about the challenges they face under the Trump administration's policies. The framing is intended to inflame Univision’s viewers into watching the entire report by expecting more Trump derangement. This frame is a false bill of goods, as there is only one exchange where the reporter, Fabiola Galindo, could be seen as seeking to elicit an adverse reaction to “Trump administration policies”. Bonilla refuses the bait and stays on message: FABIOLA GALINDO: How do you feel about working for an elected mayor whom the president has labeled a communist? GRACE BONILLA: That's secondary. What matters most to me is moving this city forward so we can keep our young people here and they can see a future in this city. That’s it. This is the sole mention of the Bad Orange Boogeyman in the report, whether on policy or otherwise. The frame was clearly a hook to hold viewers who might otherwise reach for the remote on Black Friday. So what purpose does this report serve, then? It is to bolster a cloak of “Latino by association” identity on Mamdani with which to make his policies more attractive to viewers. Hence the focus on Bonilla as an ethnic “first” and her role within the campaign. The constant focus on identity and race fill time and foreclose the opportunity to scrutinize more important things such as identity and track record. All these things are concealed behind identity politics fluff. Par the course for Univision. Click “expand” to view the full transcript of the aforementioned report as aired on Noticiero Univision on Friday, November 28th, 2025: ELIAN ZIDAN: Grace Bonilla, the daughter of Ecuadorian immigrants and a New Yorker from Queens, is the first Latina president of The United Way, New York City's largest nonprofit organization, which helps hundreds of thousands with food and healthcare. Now Bonilla is also a transition co-chair for Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, and spoke with Fabiola Galindo about the challenges they face under the Trump administration's policies. GRACE BONILLA: My family. I think I come from parents who are very helpful, right? It wasn't at all unusual for us to have people in our house who shared at our table. FABIOLA GALINDO: A New Yorker, daughter of Ecuadorian immigrants and a public servant, Grace Bonilla says she grew up amid need and by extending a helping hand. BONILLA: I know that my parents, out of pride or ignorance, didn't take advantage of services that were there for us, right? And that was something that made life at home a little more stressful. And I don't want a child living in this city to have to feel that. GALINDO: She grew up in Queens, New York. Her mother, who made her quinceañera dress by hand, worked as a seamstress so that she could graduate law school. She is the first Latina president of The United Way organization, which has distributed millions of pounds of food and health services to the poorest people. Now, she is a co-chair for the transition team of Mayor-elect Zohan Mamdani in the country's largest city. BONILLA: We already have the police commissioner and that's what we're doing, looking at those key positions that we need to have in place before January 1st. GALINDO: He inherits a city where more than half of Latinos struggle to make ends meet, according to figures from The United Way. BONILLA: We need to have a city where they feel good, safe, and secure, because we depend on their economy for the economy of this city. GALINDO: How do you feel about working for an elected mayor whom the president has labeled a communist? BONILLA: That's secondary. What matters most to me is moving this city forward so we can keep our young people here and they can see a future in this city. GALINDO: Analysts don't rule out the possibility that Grace Bonilla will hold not only a temporary but a permanent position, to help shape the city's policies alongside the new mayor. In New York: Fabiola Galindo, Univision.  

The Thanksgiving edition of the PBS News Hour pondered the crude American tradition of Thanksgiving football watching from an anthropological perspective, with anchor John Yang’s abstract rendering of the game of football in his introduction followed by liberal sportswriter guest Christine Brennan of USA Today paying backhanded, condescending compliments to America’s most popular and “violent” sport. Brennan insisted that the multi-millionaires who play in the NFL, who achieved their positions on talent alone, are really huge supporters of left-wing schemes like the mantra of “diversity, equity and inclusion,” or DEI, which President Trump has been fighting against. John Yang: Chances are that at some point in the next few days, a couch in your house will be occupied by someone watching football. It's America's most popular sport. The National Football League unites much of the country in a shared passion, but, as Lisa Desjardins reports, the league faces a tricky potential threat to that, politics. Reporter Lisa Desjardins asked Brennan, a "friend of the show," to explain the NFL's popularity, and the condescension toward the sport, which codes conservative, began. Christine Brennan, USA Today: America has really fallen in love with the new national pastime. It's no longer baseball. It's football. It is about the cadence of the game. Obviously, we love that, versus baseball as our attention spans gets shorter and shorter…. Lisa Desjardins: The violence, the aggressiveness. Brennan: ….it fits perfect American psyche and what we want, which is quick action, violent action, and then the opportunity to run to the refrigerator before the next play. Brennan never misses a chance to pump anti-Trump vitriol into her sports columns and the conversation turned to anti-Trump politics, a theme foreshadowed in the segment’s online heading: “Trump tries to put his stamp on the NFL, but gets pushback from some fans,” a declaration not supported in the actual segment. Brennan: ….so Trump is going there to try to change the national conversation or put his imprint on those issues and, of course, make the points that he wants to make, some of them seemingly just kind of fun, like, OK, the NFL draft is going to be in D.C., some of them much more serious, like racial issues. Desjardins: And let's get to that, because this is a league, especially a commissioner, who has pushed for diversity, pushed for DEI ideas. This is a president who has pushed against that. How has that worked now? Is the NFL continuing its DEI effort now in the era of Trump 2.0? Brennan complained that Trump’s appearance at the last Super Bowl, the first for a sitting president, made the NFL change its end zone slogan from “End Racism” to “Choose Love,” as if either expression would ever change anyone's heart or mind. Brennan: ….There is no way on earth you cannot have some semblance of DEI in the thinking of the NFL because Black players are such a huge part of it and so popular with so many fans. Again, it's that tightrope wire, tight-wire act that Roger Goodell and the owners are doing. Desjardins: Right. But they have kept the DEI program in place. Brennan: Well, they have. They have got the Rooney Rule. Every big opening with an NFL team, there needs to be a minority who's considered for the job. Brennan spoke in glowing terms of the past performative spectacle of NFL players kneeling for the National Anthem to protest supposed racial justice issues like police brutality (the instigator, former San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick, angered average fans by wearing pig socks to mock the police). Brennan: I think it's the way that all sports leaders are trying to work with Trump in this era, while also understanding that the people who make the league, it's a majority-Black league. So you cannot just fall in line completely with Trump on that, because you would lose the players, you would lose the coaches. We have seen that, of course, with Trump going back to 2017, when he said kick the SOBs -- without saying SOBs -- off the field, fire them when they were kneeling for the National Anthem. Well, two days later, you had incredible kneeling by many, many players throughout the league. So, already, we have seen that these players will speak out. This segment was brought to you in part by BDO. A transcript is available, click “Expand.” PBS News Hour 11/27/25 7:23:28 p.m. (ET) John Yang: Chances are that at some point in the next few days, a couch in your house will be occupied by someone watching football. It's America's most popular sport. The National Football League unites much of the country in a shared passion, but, as Lisa Desjardins reports, the league faces a tricky potential threat to that, politics. Lisa Desjardins: The National Football League is in the middle of a ratings and profit boom. At the same time, it is also in the center of something else notable, the way President Trump engages with and wants to influence American sports. Joining me to talk about this is Christine Brennan, a sports columnist for USA Today and friend of the show. Christine, let's start with the NFL itself. Roger Goodell, the commissioner, is experiencing an all-time all-star era. What is behind it right now? Christine Brennan, USA Today: America has really fallen in love with the new national pastime. It's no longer baseball. It's football. It is about the cadence of the game. Obviously, we love that, versus baseball as our attention spans gets shorter and shorter. Also, it's a sport, high school, college, Americans grow up with, not only the day of the week Sunday, as we all know, but now prime time. That has been going on. A public relations man named Pete Rozelle was the commissioner who just saw the NFL explode back in the '70s. You had "Monday Night Football." And, again, it's the violence. It's the — it's a very national game. Lisa Desjardins: The violence, the aggressiveness. Christine Brennan: Absolutely, and because of its success, having markets like Green Bay, but also, of course, the big cities, and the superstars. Go all the way back. I think everything about it is a marketing success, and it fits perfect American psyche and what we want, which is quick action, violent action, and then the opportunity to run to the refrigerator before the next play. Lisa Desjardins: I do want to come back to President Trump himself. He himself is a showman. We know he's had a love for sports his whole life. He was at the Washington Commanders game just two weeks ago. Let's listen to this. Donlad Trump, President of the United States: By the way, they're going to build a beautiful stadium. That's what I'm involved in. We're getting all the approvals and everything else. And you have a wonderful owner, Josh and his group. And you're going to see some very good things. Lisa Desjardins: A little name-dropping there, because he actually wants his name put on that stadium. That is the reporting here. Christine Brennan: Yes. Lisa Desjardins: He's also rung in on everything from the new kickoff plan for the NFL. Now, billionaire owners of the NFL seem to generally like kind of stoking this relationship. Fans are mixed. But how has Roger Goodell navigated this attention from Donlad Trump? We know, when he gives something attention, he wants to be in control. Christine Brennan: Exactly. Roger Goodell, the son of a senator, Charles Goodell, has been with the league his entire career. I think he understands this tiptoeing through the tulips, so to speak, with the president of the United States. For example, there was the announcement that the NFL draft is going to be held in Washington, D.C., in 2027. So, of course, Roger Goodell was there with one of the owners of the Washington Commanders and the president. And how do you say no to the president about being a part of some kind of show like that? Lisa Desjardins: Any president, much less Trump. Christine Brennan: Exactly. And presidents have been linked with football, Richard Nixon giving play advice to the Washington football team's coach at the time, George Allen. Richard Nixon, Former President of the United States: Well, maybe you can put Nock in there and rest him next week. George Allen, Washington Head Coach: I hope so, yes. Richard Nixon: Who'd you lose? George Allen: We lost — this hasn't even been announced, I don't think we lost. Richard Nixon: Yes. George Allen: We lost Malinchak. He's going to have to be operated on either tonight or tomorrow morning. Christine Brennan: So this is not just — he's not the first president, but he has certainly put it on times 100 in terms of his involvement. And I think, for Trump, he understands football, the NFL is that common denominator. All Americans love it. They all can talk about it, the watercooler or the virtual watercooler, Lisa. It is a game that all — everyone understands. And so Trump is going there to try to change the national conversation or put his imprint on those issues and, of course, make the points that he wants to make, some of them seemingly just kind of fun, like, OK, the NFL draft is going to be in D.C., some of them much more serious, like racial issues. Lisa Desjardins: And let's get to that, because this is a league, especially a commissioner, who has pushed for diversity, pushed for DEI ideas. This is a president who has pushed against that. How has that worked now? Is the NFL continuing its DEI effort now in the era of Trump 2.0? Christine Brennan: We saw this with the Super Bowl. By the way, the president, President Trump, was the first sitting president to ever attend a Super Bowl, which really surprised me, as someone who's covered a lot of them. Lisa Desjardins:   Yes. Christine Brennan: Again, Trump understanding the visual of going there and being a part of this incredible national pastime. Highest rated television show every year, of course, is the Super Bowl. So you have that. So then the NFL changes. They no longer have "End Racism" in the end zone, but "Choose Love." Coincidence? Not. Whatever. Of course, there had been the terrible terrorist attack in New Orleans, the fires in L.A., the terrible plane crash right off — at DCA. So it made sense. That was what the NFL said. Nonetheless, "End Racism" was gone. This is a league that is a majority-Black league, a significant majority-Black league. There is no way on earth you cannot have some semblance of DEI in the thinking of the NFL because Black players are such a huge part of it and so popular with so many fans. Again, it's that tightrope wire, tight-wire act that Roger Goodell and the owners are doing. Lisa Desjardins: Right. But they have kept the DEI program in place. Christine Brennan: Well, they have. They have got the Rooney Rule. Every big opening with an NFL team, there needs to be a minority who's considered for the job. Lisa Desjardins: But they have dialed down that messaging of end racism, no longer those words now. Christine Brennan: Yes, it was "Choose Love" in the case of the Super Bowl. Lisa Desjardins: "Choose Love." Christine Brennan: I think it's the way that all sports leaders are trying to work with Trump in this era, while also understanding that the people who make the league, it's a majority-Black league. So you cannot just fall in line completely with rump on that, because you would lose the players, you would lose the coaches. We have seen that, of course, with Trump going back to 2017, when he said kick the SOBs, without saying SOBs, off the field, fire them when they were kneeling for the national anthem. Well, two days later, you had incredible kneeling by many, many players throughout the league. So, already, we have seen that these players will speak out. Lisa Desjardins: This is about American culture. It's also about big business. Quickly, on other sports, the president knows that the World Cup is coming in this country, the Olympics are coming in this country, and he's made some sort of vague threats, sort of political, about where they should go. Let's listen. Donlad Trump: If we think there's any reason that — whether it's Boston or anywhere else, that they're not doing their job, we're going to take — those World Cup games and move them someplace else. Lisa Desjardins: Are those serious threats? Are that — what is that? Christine Brennan: No, it's not serious. They — those tickets are already sold. He even said it's sold out. This is a good signal, I think, for many people who are going to watch the two biggest sports events in the world, men's World Cup soccer next year, the Olympic Games in 2028 back in Los Angeles. We're going to see Trump do this time and time again. It will be fascinating to watch how these leaders try to deal with him, but also sidestep him and do the things that they were planning to do before Trump opened his mouth. Lisa Desjardins: Christine Brennan, thank you so much for joining us. Christine Brennan: My pleasure, Lisa. Thank you.

A convicted sex offender college professor whose criminal past made him "ineligible for legal status in the United States" has been arrested by ICE, according to a DHS press release published earlier this week.On November 12, ICE officers arrested Sumith Gunasekera of Sri Lanka in Detroit. According to the press release, he told officers that he was employed as an associate professor at Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan, about 200 miles northwest of Detroit.He was arrested for invitation to sexual touching and sexual interference. He told officers at the time that the ... incident involved a minor, DHS reported.Gunasekera first came to the U.S. in February 1998, spent some time in Canada, and then returned to the U.S. later that year on a student visa, the press release said. During his stint in Canada, he was arrested in Brampton, Ontario, on two separate occasions just three days apart. In the first instance, he was arrested for uttering death threats. In the second, he was arrested for invitation to sexual touching and sexual interference. He told officers at the time that the second incident involved a minor, DHS reported.In November 1998, a Canadian criminal court convicted him of utter threat to cause death or bodily harm and sexual interference and sentenced him to one month of incarceration and one year of probation, DHS said.Gunasekera — who earned a Ph.D. in statistics from the University of Nevada, according to the Ferris State website — also ran afoul of the law in Las Vegas a few years after his trouble in Canada, the press release said. Cops arrested him for open and gross lewdness in September 2003, and just four months later, he was convicted of disorderly conduct and sentenced to fines.In 2012, Gunasekera filed for a change in immigration status with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, at which point his Canadian convictions came to light. Those convictions rendered him "ineligible for legal status in the United States," the press release said. Despite his ineligibility, Gunasekera "repeatedly attempted to manipulate our immigration system between applications, denials, and appeals," it added."It's sickening that a sex offender was working as a professor on an American college campus and was given access to vulnerable students to potentially victimize them," said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. "Thanks to the brave ICE law enforcement officers, this sicko is behind bars and no longer able to prey on Americans. His days of exploiting the immigration system are OVER. Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, criminals are not welcome in the U.S."RELATED: Trump to 'permanently pause' migration from third-world backwaters in wake of National Guard member's grisly murder Bill Oxford/Getty ImagesAs of Sunday evening, Gunasekera remains listed on the Ferris State website as an assistant professor of marketing. According to a statement from Dave Murray, Ferris State associate vice president for marketing and communications, he has since been placed on administrative leave."Ferris State University leaders on Tuesday became aware of accusations regarding professor Sumith Gunasekera. He has been placed on administrative leave while the university gathers more information. This is a personnel issue and it would be inappropriate for the university to further discuss the matter," Murray told the Detroit News.A federal immigration database states that Gunasekera remains in ICE custody at a federal facility in Baldwin, Michigan, about a half-hour from Ferris State. Further immigration proceedings are pending, DHS said.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

Travelers at the end of the Thanksgiving holiday on Sunday were finding hundreds of flights delayed and canceled in Chicago following a winter storm in the Great Lakes region, while a wintry mix of rain and snow developed in the Northeast.

Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., urged caution Sunday amid allegations that War Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered U.S. forces to "kill everybody" aboard a suspected drug-smuggling boat during a Sept. 2 interdiction operation.

Mourners gathered at a West Virginia high school this weekend remembered a National Guard member fatally shot last week as a caring and positive person who wanted to help others.
