Nikkie Tutorials deserves a standing ovation this morning
Some saw it coming, for others it was a total surprise: beauty vlogger Nikkie Tutorials posted an incredibly personal and vulnerable video on her YouTube channel last night in which she reveals a long-held secret: she was born in the wrong body. The unfortunate part of the whole story is that she is more or less forced to tell it. ‘People are so cruel. I was blackmailed. People wanted to leak the fact that I am transgender to the press,‘ Nikkie says emotionally in the video. ’Today I take back my own power. It feels good to finally share it. This is who I really am. I am Nikkie.‘ I can only say: wow. How nice it must be to give a middle finger to people who blackmail you. Truly proud. And by the way, I'm not the only one, Nikkie is receiving many sweet messages from stars all over the world. Even hearts from Ariana Grande under her photo. Lifegoals.
The whole ‘Megxit’ top meeting ended in a whimper last night
The British queen accepts Prince Harry's wish to put one leg outside the family. Well, she has to, right? The couple wants more freedom, financial independence, and plans to commute between England and the US from now on. ‘My family and I fully support Harry and Meghan's wish to create a new life as a young family,’ says Queen Elizabeth's statement. ‘Although we would have preferred to see them remain full-time working members of the royal family, we respect and understand their wish to lead a more independent life as a family while still being a valued part of my family.’ In the coming weeks, we will see how the whole Megxit will unfold. You understand: the last word has not yet been said about this.

Since 2015, Zayn and Gigi have been fluttering in and out of each other's lives, and after the latest breakup, the two are now going to try again. Whether that traffic light will stay green this time is still a question for Team Hadid-Malik, but you understand that fans are über-excited that the two have been spotted arm in arm in New York again. Me too, by the way. For some people, the universe just didn't intend for them to breathe, sleep, have sex, and live apart. This is one of those couples where you think: sigh. Gigi vs Zayn part 3.0, we're ready for it.
Who is the Mole baby 2.0: biscuits with sprinkles for Airen Mylène and Taeke Taekema
I found it so nice that the two got to know each other on the set of WIDM (2016) and then fell in love. And, it turned out to be a match made in heaven. In March 2018, their son Bodhi was born, and on Monday evening, sprout number two was launched on Instagram. ‘What a wealth! He is here! Foss Fedde Glen Taekema,’ writes Airen with a photo of their son. Cool name too: Foss.
