Baker Mayfield’s wife Emily reveals Bucs QB’s personality trait that makes him ideal father figure

Baker Mayfield has been married to his wife, Emily Mayfield, for more than five years, and they share a healthy relationship. The couple often publicly express their appreciation for one another. Emily frequently compliments the quarterback’s game-day outfits on Instagram, while Baker admires her during interviews.

Beyond being partners, Baker and Emily are parents to their daughter, Kova, who was born in April 2024. She holds a special place in her father’s heart, a bond Emily discussed in detail on “Monday Night Countdown.”

During the interview, Baker joined Emily, and host Michelle Beisner-Buck asked Emily what kind of dad she felt Baker has been to Kova. Emily praised Baker for being “such a good dad” and highlighted a key character trait that makes him an ideal father.

“I’ve always said it,” Emily shared. “Baker is not for everyone. He’s a little polarizing on the field. He’s kind of hard and harsh in certain circumstances, but he’s such a softy, so I knew he’d be a good dad.”

Emily also described the special bond Baker shares with Kova and their dynamic as father and daughter. “But he has that little girl wrapped around his finger, and it’s a very sweet dynamic they have,” she said. “She loves her daddy.”

### How Baker and Emily’s Romance Began

Baker Mayfield also reflected on his early dating days with Emily, revealing the challenges he faced to win his first date. According to the quarterback, it was an old friend from The University of Oklahoma, Patrick Haye, who played matchmaker by approaching Emily to get her number.

“Patrick, of course, being a good friend, asked her if I could have her number,” Baker recalled. “She said no. So, I went to Instagram, hit the follow button, no follow back. Hit the unfollow button, hit the follow again, and no follow back. Tried to slide into the DMs, no response. At this point, feeling pretty rejected. Finally, you (Emily) gave Patrick the ‘OK, I can get your number.’”

The couple dated for almost six months before getting engaged. They tied the knot in July 2019 in a romantic ceremony at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu, exchanging vows in a beautiful setting.

Carson Daly Reveals On-Air Mix-Up Involving Leonardo DiCaprio

Posted on by

Congratulations to Post Malone, who cleverly incorporated his surname into his stage name. However, the rapper prefers his close friends to call him by his real name. During the 2024 MTV VMAs, Taylor Swift referred to him as “Austin” when they won the Best Collaboration award for their duet “Fortnight.”

Though she portrayed Lilly on *Modern Family* under the name Aubrey Anderson-Emmons, the actress changed her moniker to Frances Anderson to mark a new era as a musician. “Frances is actually part of my legal name—it’s my middle name, and it’s after my mom’s old family friend,” she explained in a 2025 E! News interview. “I thought, one, it was a bit shorter than ‘Aubrey Anderson-Emmons.’ I do have a long, hyphenated last name.”

The *Summer House* star shocked Bravo fans by revealing that his legally given first name isn’t actually Carl. “My I.D. and my passport—my first name is William,” Carl, who has appeared on the reality show for all nine seasons, told PopViewers in August 2025. “So, my middle name is Carl, but I’ve always, since day one, been called Carl.”

Sterling K. Brown went by his middle name Kelby until he was a teenager. “My dad’s name is Sterling Brown Jr., my grandfather is Sterling Brown Sr.,” he said during an April 2025 appearance on *The Kelly Clarkson Show*. “I wanted my own name and it felt like Sterling was an old man’s name.” But years after his dad died from a heart attack, the *This Is Us* alum decided to revert back to his first name as a way to honor his father.

“Because he passed away when I was 10, by the time I turned 16 and I hadn’t heard his name for five, five-and-a-half years,” he continued, “I was like, ‘I kinda just want to hear that name again.’ So I asked people to call me Sterling.”

Kat Dennings adopted a stage name at age 9, years before she made her official onstage acting debut on a 2000 episode of *Sex and the City*. The *2 Broke Girls* alum told Kylie Kelce on the March 13, 2025 episode of her podcast *Not Gonna Lie With Kylie Kelce* that she didn’t think her real name should “be displayed on a poster.”

The actress drew inspiration for her stage name from Christina Ricci’s character Kat in the film *Casper* as well as the surname of Janine Denni, the French wife of late *The Black Cauldron* author Lloyd Alexander—a writer she said was her mother’s best friend.

For more than three decades, Cher was made to believe that her legal first name was Cherilyn. It wasn’t until the late ’70s, when she obtained her birth certificate in order to change her full name to just Cher, that she discovered she had been registered as “Cheryl.” In her 2024 memoir, *Cher: The Memoir, Part One*, the pop icon recalled her mom Georgia Holt’s reaction to this discovery.

She said her mother, who gave birth to her at age 19, responded, “Let me look at that!” and then, recalling her postpartum experience, added, “I was only a teenager, and I was in a lot of pain. Give me a break.”

Shania Twain shared the origin story of her stage name during an appearance on Apple Music’s *Home Now Radio*:

“In short, I was born Eilleen Regina Edwards, and then I was adopted and I became Eilleen Regina Twain. Then I became a professional singer and I needed a stage name that sounded a little less like my grandmother’s name, because I’m named after my grandmother, both my grandmothers, Eilleen and Regina. I think, in my mind, I was just not really wanting to be called my grandmother’s name onstage, so I decided to change it to Shania Twain. I met somebody with the name Shania, thought it was beautiful, and Shania Twain was born.”

Schumer calls on Trump to withdraw nominee over ‘foul and disqualifying’ texts

Posted on by

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) has joined calls for President Trump to withdraw the nomination of Paul Ingrassia for the Office of Special Counsel.

This demand comes after alleged text messages surfaced in which Ingrassia reportedly said he has a “Nazi streak.”

In addition to this troubling remark, Ingrassia, who was nominated in June, is also accused of making racist comments in a text chain with other Republican officials.

The controversy surrounding Ingrassia’s nomination has intensified calls for President Trump to reconsider and withdraw his appointment to the important oversight position.

**Only Murders in the Building Season 5 Episode 9 Recap: “LESTR”**

*Disclaimer: The following article contains spoilers from Only Murders in the Building season 5 episode 9. Reader’s discretion is advised.*

—

**Episode Overview**

Only Murders in the Building season 5 episode 9, titled *“LESTR,”* premiered on October 21, 2025, on Hulu. The episode continues to build suspense as podcasters Mabel, Charles, and Oliver dig deeper into the mysterious deaths of Lester and Nicky. With the Arconia building facing closure, the characters encounter both emotional and physical challenges while uncovering shocking secrets.

—

**Nicky’s Grandmother Steals Charles’s Finger**

One of the most startling revelations in this episode is that Nicky’s grandmother (Nonna) stole Charles’s finger. This unexpected twist raises new suspicions and motives, forcing the trio to reconsider their entire investigation. The episode ends with a focus on this mysterious act and one last crucial clue that could change everything.

—

**Who Was Behind the Finger Theft?**

It is confirmed—Nicky’s grandmother, the Nonna, is behind the finger theft. This bombshell revelation shakes the foundation of what the gang thought they knew about the suspects. While her motives remain unclear, it’s evident that this was no random act. What could be driving her to such extremes? The episode leaves this question tantalizingly unanswered.

—

**Why Is Randall on the Run?**

The tension ramps up when Mabel, Charles, and Oliver find Randall, the Arconia’s doorman, on the bird cam footage from the night of Lester’s murder. Randall initially denies involvement, but it quickly becomes clear he’s lying. This culminates in a rare and comical chase through the building as Randall tries to escape the trio’s questions. Despite their efforts, Randall manages to evade capture, setting back the investigation.

—

**Mabel and Detective Williams Discover a Secret Passage**

In a surprising turn, Mabel teams up with Detective Williams, sharing a drink in the underground casino. During their conversation, they spot a strange footprint on the pristine carpet, which leads them to discover a secret passageway in the building’s walls.

This secret entrance breathes new life into the investigation. Nearby, Nicky’s body was found at a dry cleaner’s store, tying into the clandestine area. This discovery also reveals an unknown side to the Arconia and proves Randall never actually left the building, debunking his claim of being in Cuba based on his social media posts.

—

**What Did Robo-Lester’s Recording Reveal?**

Robo-Lester, the robotic doorman, provides a crucial breakthrough. Using Lester’s final recordings, Robo-Lester reveals that Lester himself attacked Nicky—but this was an act of protection. Lester believed Nicky was a threat to the Arconia and its residents, prompting his shocking behavior.

Following Lester’s death, Randall likely hid the bloody elevator crank as a tribute to his mentor—trying to protect Lester’s reputation.

—

**If Lester Killed Nicky, Who Killed Lester?**

This revelation complicates the case: if Lester was responsible for Nicky’s death, then who actually killed Lester? The mystery deepens, setting the stage for the series finale.

—

**Charles and Oliver Say Goodbye to the Arconia**

Amid the ongoing investigation, the penultimate episode deeply explores the emotional struggles of Charles and Oliver as they prepare to leave the Arconia for good. The building’s closure forces them to confront their feelings about losing their home and each other.

Charles finds it especially hard to leave, given his strong attachment to the place and their friendship. Oliver, meanwhile, feels hurt and abandoned, believing Charles no longer values their bond. After an honest conversation, they realize that their uneasy feelings stem from their difficulty in parting ways.

In a symbolic gesture, Charles convinces Oliver to keep a doorknob from the Arconia as a memento of their time together and the building they cherished.

—

**What Does the Finger Theft Reveal About Nonna?**

As the episode nears its conclusion, a new lead surfaces. Howard from the Arconia notices a scuff mark near Mabel’s fridge, previously assumed to be made by Robo-Lester. However, Howard identifies the scuff as matching a specific mobility scooter—one he remembers his mother once used.

This subtle clue adds another layer to the mystery surrounding Nonna and her involvement in Charles’s missing finger, hinting at deeper motives yet to be uncovered.

—

**Where to Watch**

Only Murders in the Building season 5 episode 9, *“LESTR,”* is available to stream now on Hulu.

Stay tuned as the thrilling season finale promises to answer lingering questions and reveal the true culprits behind the Arconia’s dark secrets.

Shiba Inu Price Prediction: SHIB And DOGE Compete For Meme Coin Dominance In 2025, Could This Be A Battle Royale?

Posted on by
Reply

The meme coin market is poised to enter a new phase in 2025, with Shiba Inu and Dogecoin set to lead the pack once again. Investor sentiment is shifting as speculators look beyond the horizon to projects offering proper use cases and expanding ecosystems. The ongoing rivalry between SHIB and DOGE highlights how meme coins continue to evolve from internet culture tokens into assets with broader market relevance.

### Shiba Inu and Dogecoin: Leading Meme Coins

While Dogecoin proudly holds the title of the original meme coin, Shiba Inu’s steady development of its ecosystem has brought it close to challenging DOGE’s dominance. This rivalry exemplifies the dynamic changes in the meme coin space, where community and utility increasingly dictate success.

### Shiba Inu and Dogecoin Price Movements

**Shiba Inu (SHIB)** is currently trading at $0.00001023, up 1.77% in the last 24 hours, with a market cap of approximately $6.02 billion. Trading volume has risen to $143.53 million, indicating strong retail investor activity. One key factor that may bring more pricing stability in the future is SHIB’s Layer 2 network, **Shibarium**, along with various community-driven projects.

In contrast, **Dogecoin (DOGE)** is valued at $0.2005 with a 2.95% increase over the past day. It boasts a market cap of $30.33 billion and a trading volume of $2.07 billion, reflecting its widespread acceptance and liquidity advantage. Although Dogecoin sees fewer technical upgrades, it remains deeply rooted in payment use discussions, particularly as merchant adoption gains momentum.

Both coins remain staples among retail investors. The ongoing debate over which will perform better in 2025 adds complexity to the Shiba Inu price prediction landscape.

### Why Remittix (RTX) Is Standing Out in 2025

While meme coins dominate headlines, investors searching for the next significant altcoin in 2025 are turning their attention to **Remittix (RTX)**—a DeFi project with genuine real-world functionality.

Currently priced at $0.1166, Remittix has raised over $27.5 million and sold more than 679.6 million tokens, making it one of the most successful crypto presales of 2025. The platform facilitates crypto-to-bank transfers across 30+ countries, addressing a major adoption hurdle that many leading tokens have yet to solve.

#### Key Features Attracting Investors:
– **Global Reach:** Crypto-to-bank payments available in over 30 countries.
– **Security:** Fully verified by CertiK and ranked #1 among pre-launch projects.
– **Referral Rewards:** 15% rewards paid in USDT through a new referral program.
– **Limited-Time Bonus:** A 50% bonus available with promo code **RTX50** on the Remittix website.

Furthermore, Remittix has confirmed upcoming listings on centralized exchanges such as BitMart and LBank, expected to enhance liquidity once live. The project’s beta wallet is already being tested, marking a significant step toward real-world integration.

### The Meme Coin Showdown and the Rise of Utility

As the Dogecoin vs. Shiba Inu price prediction debate continues, the distinction between utility tokens and hype tokens becomes increasingly apparent. Meme coins will likely remain dominant on social media, but projects like Remittix are setting new standards for practical crypto adoption.

With over $27.5 million in capital backing, an audited team verified by CertiK, and a $250,000 giveaway to engage the community, Remittix demonstrates that practical crypto applications can coexist alongside popular meme coins such as SHIB and DOGE.

While the battle for meme coin dominance captures media attention, the ultimate winners may be those who successfully bridge cryptocurrency with the real-world economy.

$2B Set to Flow into BlackRock’s UK Bitcoin ETF After FCA Shift

Posted on by
Reply

BlackRock has launched its iShares Bitcoin Trust in the UK as of October 20, providing investors with regulated access to Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This new fund allows UK investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin at approximately $11 per share through traditional brokerage platforms.

The introduction of BlackRock’s Bitcoin Trust follows the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) reversal of its previous ban on crypto-based exchange-traded products. This regulatory shift has paved the way for greater adoption of cryptocurrency investment vehicles within the UK market.

Industry analysts anticipate that the UK could see around $2 billion flow into BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF as a result of the FCA’s policy change, signaling strong investor interest.

Cierre de gobierno llega a su día 21, el segundo más largo de la historia de EE.UU.

Posted on by
Reply

Sin un acuerdo a la vista, ha llegado el día 21 del cierre federal del gobierno y el Congreso sigue en un punto muerto. El Partido Republicano y el Partido Demócrata no han logrado un consenso sobre los subsidios a la atención médica, y la votación sobre la legislación de financiación de los republicanos fracasó de nuevo la noche del lunes.

Las consecuencias del impasse continúan sintiéndose en toda la fuerza laboral federal. Los republicanos dijeron anoche que no habrá cambios de estrategia y se comprometieron a bloquear los esfuerzos demócratas para pagarles a todos los empleados suspendidos. Asimismo, los demócratas del Senado bloquearon otra vez la propuesta de financiación republicana para reabrir el gobierno, con una votación de 50 a 43; esta fue la undécima vez que el plan fracasa.

Chip Roy, republicano de la Cámara de Representantes, cree que su partido debería considerar eliminar el umbral de 60 votos en el Senado. Los senadores republicanos dejaron claro que creen que la responsabilidad de detener el estancamiento y reabrir el gobierno recae en sus opositores, incluso cuando los dos partidos enfrentan presión porque los trabajadores federales no han cobrado sus cheques de pago.

John Thune, líder de la mayoría republicana, quiere que el Senado vote sobre un proyecto de ley para pagar a los empleados federales que siguen laborando durante el cierre. Por su lado, Hakeem Jeffries, líder de la minoría de la Cámara de Representantes, indicó que no apoya la legislación porque “parece más bien una estratagema política”.

**Impactos del cierre de gobierno**

Roger Wicker, presidente de la Comisión de las Fuerzas Armadas del Senado, criticó la decisión de suspender temporalmente a gran parte del personal de la Administración Nacional de Seguridad Nuclear (NSA), que supervisa el arsenal nuclear de EE. UU. La mencionada agencia aseguró que mantendrá a los contratistas empleados hasta finales de octubre.

El lunes, se informó a los empleados del Senado que ya no recibirán su pago durante el resto del cierre. Por su parte, la Oficina de Administración y Presupuesto defendió la decisión de congelar más de $11 mil millones en proyectos con el Cuerpo de Ingenieros del Ejército, alegando que el gobierno busca “reorientar” los fondos federales.

En este sentido, la escasez de personal de la Administración de Seguridad en el Transporte (TSA) causó el lunes retrasos más largos de lo habitual en el Aeropuerto Internacional Hartsfield-Jackson de Atlanta. Además, se anunció la escasez de personal en al menos ocho instalaciones de control de tráfico aéreo, que se ha extendido hasta las primeras horas de la mañana del martes, ya que los controladores laboran sin goce de sueldo en medio del cierre de gobierno.

Desde el comienzo del cierre federal, se han reportado 188 faltas de personal, en comparación con las 45 reportadas en las mismas fechas del año pasado, según un análisis sobre planes operativos previos.
