Derek Hough and Hayley Erbert, former Dancing with the Stars (DWTS) alums, announced on Instagram that they are expecting another child.

The couple, who got married in August 2023, got married two years after Erbert underwent an emergency cranioplasty in December 2023.

Erbert, a professional dancer, was taken to the hospital after becoming disoriented during a performance in Washington. Hough confirmed his wife had undergone surgery to replace a part of her skull removed during a previous operation.

One year after her surgery, Erbert made an appearance on DWTS as she danced with Hough to the song "Beautiful Things" by Benson Boone.

Since getting married, the couple has openly expressed their desire to have a family, with Hough stating that they would "let what's in the cards, what's on the horizon. Little dancing children running around."

The couple met in 2014 after Erbert was cast as a dancer for Hough and sister Julianne Hough's "Move Live Tour."

Trisha Paytas Welcomes Baby No. 3, Names Him Aquaman After Chaotic Delivery

Trisha Paytas has welcomed her third child—a baby boy named Aquaman Moses Paytas-Hacmon.

The 37-year-old YouTuber and influencer made the announcement on Instagram on Tuesday, July 22, revealing her son was born earlier this month.

“💙AQUAMAN MOSES PAYTAS-HACMON💙 Born 07.12.25 @ 12:40 am 🙏,” she wrote, alongside hospital photos and sweet snapshots of the newborn bonding at home with big sisters Malibu, 2, and Elvis, 10 months.

But the birth wasn’t easy. In a new episode of her Just Trish podcast, Trisha recounted how the delivery turned into what she described as her “most chaotic, traumatizing birth.”

Originally due on July 29 with a scheduled c-section for the 18th, Trisha's water broke unexpectedly on July 11.

To make things worse, her doctor wasn’t available and she had to wait as three other emergency c-sections were prioritized before hers.

"I actually thought I was going to die—I was like, 'I don't know if I can handle this,'" she confessed.

Ultimately, Aquaman was delivered within 10 minutes once they got to her. "Everyone is fine, which is a good thing. Everyone is great," she added.

Trisha and her husband, 47-year-old Moses Hacmon, are now parents to three children and seem thrilled to expand their growing family—with a superhero-inspired name to top it all off.

Google's former CEO has some simple advice if you're trying to focus at work or relax: 'Turn off your phone'

Eric Schmidt, former Google CEO, has advised young workers to turn off their phones and focus on deep relaxation. Schmidt believes that the tech industry's goal is to "monetize your attention," making concentrating and relaxing harder.

He said that researchers can't think deeply when their phones buzz, and that the best way to do research is to turn off their phones. Schmidt acknowledged his role in the industry, stating that tech has long pushed to "monetize your attention."

Research suggests that attention spans are declining, partly due to tech, with the average attention span on a computer screen being just 47 seconds. Schmidt also argued that notifications and commoditized attention have challenged relaxation.

He suggested that the correct way to relax is to turn off their phones and relax in a traditional way for 70,000 human years of existence.

However, meditation app makers pushed back, stating that not all screen time is created equal.

Trump Releases Long-Sealed Martin Luther King Jr. Files Amid Fresh Debate

President Donald Trump has ordered the release of over 230,000 pages of previously classified documents related to the 1968 assassination of civil rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

The files, made public on July 21, include FBI memos, CIA reports, and surveillance records, many of which reveal the extent of government monitoring of King under J. Edgar Hoover’s leadership.

Some documents also revisit theories that suggest James Earl Ray, the convicted assassin, may not have acted alone.

The release follows an executive order signed by Trump in January 2025, pushing for transparency on high-profile assassinations, including those of JFK and RFK.

While some, including King’s niece Alveda King, welcomed the move as a step toward truth, others—like his children Martin Luther King III and Bernice King—raised concerns about the potential for misinformation and misuse of the records.

Historians have urged the public to approach the documents with caution, noting that while the files offer fresh context, they may not drastically alter the established understanding of King’s death.

Nvidia CEO works from ‘the moment he wakes up,’ 7 days a week—he can’t even sit through a movie without thinking about his $4.2 trillion tech giant.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admits that his work-life balance is nonexistent, as he works nearly every hour of the day, seven days a week. He often spends his time envisioning the future and envisioning how it will work.

One of his biggest dreams is to turn NVIDIA into a one giant AI, which would not only help scale the business but also give him and his workers some added flexibility.

Working beyond the 9-to-5 is a norm that more than just Huang endures. According to accounts from multiple former employees, there were expectations to be on the work grind seven days a week, with work piling up until one or two in the morning.

Other workers, especially in the engineering department, had even longer work hours. In meetings, the pressure would often get so high that shouting matches would reportedly occur. However, with high pay packages at the growing company, the anonymous workers said they felt it difficult to leave.

Huang himself has admitted that working at Nvidia shouldn't come with the expectation of ease. Working as much as possible will translate to results, and leaders of all industries have admitted that working as much as possible will translate to results.

Lior Lewensztain, founder and CEO of fruit bar and snack company That's It Nutrition, previously told Fortune that work-life balance remains an elusive perk—even after building a multi-million-dollar business.

Federal President Barack Obama has echoed this sentiment, saying that if you want to be excellent at anything—sports, music, business, politics—there will be times of your life when you're out of balance, where you're just working and you're single-minded.” When searching for a career, billionaire cofounder of Scale AI Lucy Gao encourages Gen Z to pick one that doesn't make them crave time off.
