Tom Brady is adding another venture to his growing business portfolio, and this one is already generating buzz for its name alone.

The seven-time Super Bowl champion has partnered with instant-commerce giant Gopuff to launch Good Nut, a new premium line of organic coconut water available exclusively through the delivery platform. Announced this week, the brand is positioned as a cleaner alternative to traditional sports drinks and comes in three flavors: Original Coconut Water, Sparkling Coconut Water, and Chocolate Coconut Water.

According to Gopuff, Good Nut is sourced from organic Vietnamese coconuts and contains no added sugars, sweeteners, or artificial ingredients. The beverages are packaged in 11.8-ounce cans and designed to deliver simple, clean hydration for consumers seeking less processed drink options.

“Hydration has always been a big part of my routine, and while coconut water has been a staple for me, I knew we could take it to a completely different level by teaming up with Gopuff,” Brady said in a statement. “With Good Nut, we focused on keeping the ingredients simple and clean, making sure it’s exactly what I’d want in my own fridge.”

Among the lineup, the standout product may be the Chocolate Coconut Water, which Gopuff says is the first and only certified organic chocolate coconut water currently on the market. Made with just three ingredients and no added sugars, the drink aims to offer the creaminess of chocolate milk without dairy.

BARCELONA, June 9 (Reuters) - Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny met Pope Leo during a brief private encounter at Madrid’s Bernabeu Stadium on Monday, but fans hoping for a snapshot of the unlikely meeting may be disappointed.

The Vatican said on Tuesday that it does not expect to release any photographs from the encounter, despite the irony that Bad Bunny’s Grammy-winning album Debí Tirar Más Fotos (“I Should Have Taken More Pictures”) has become one of the year’s biggest cultural touchstones.

According to a Vatican statement, Pope Leo greeted the reggaeton artist, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, along with members of his family and several companions before departing the stadium.

The meeting took place while both men were traveling through Spain. Leo is on a week-long tour during which he has warned that growing international conflicts have pushed the world into what he called a “profound crisis.”

The pope and Bad Bunny also share another distinction: both have drawn criticism from U.S. President Donald Trump.

Leo angered Trump earlier this year after criticizing the Iran war, while Bad Bunny has repeatedly condemned Trump’s hardline immigration policies and endorsed former Vice President Kamala Harris during the 2024 U.S. presidential campaign.

Former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg had a humorous response after an unexpected run-in with New York Knicks guard Jose Alvarado during Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

Alvarado, 28, tumbled into the courtside seating area during the fourth quarter of Monday night’s game at Madison Square Garden, colliding with Bloomberg, 84, as he chased a loose ball.

After the collision, Alvarado immediately checked on Bloomberg, while arena staff rushed over to clean up drinks that had been knocked over during the play. Bloomberg appeared unfazed and signaled to those around him that he was doing fine.

The following day, Bloomberg addressed the incident with a playful post on X.

“Great to meet NYC’s homegrown star, . But next time, Jose, just call me. Let’s go Knicks!” Bloomberg wrote.

The collision also became a talking point during ESPN’s alternate broadcast of the game. Host Pat McAfee initially joked that Alvarado was “sitting on some very rich guy” before realizing the fan was Bloomberg.

According to a spokesperson, Bloomberg suffered no injuries from the incident.

“He’s fine,” the spokesperson said. “The only pain is from the Knicks’ loss last night.”
