Hanna and Haley Cavinder Reveal the Sweet Twin Secrets Only They Know About Each Other (Exclusive)

Twins Hanna and Haley Cavinder are a package deal

NEED TO KNOW

• Since they began posting to TikTok during the COVID-19 pandemic, the basketball players have been attached at the hip

• However, no one knows the other better than each other, and the pair break down some of the things that they think their followers wouldn't know about them

Hanna and Haley Cavinder have always been two-of-a-kind.The twin sisters have been on social media since the early days of the pandemic — earning them a following of nearly five million — and are also equally as famous for their collegiate basketball careers.

They were at the forefront of student-athletes signing endorsement deals, after a groundbreakingNCAA decisionin 2021 thatallowed student-athletes to profitfrom their name, image and likeness (NIL).

Together, the two have played basketball at California State University, Fresno; the University of Miami and, Haley later went on to play for Texas Christian University, coming out of retirement in 2023.Hanna moved with Haleyto Texas but decided to remain retired.Now, following their graduation, the twins are stepping into their most mature era yet, as they partner withBetMGM for the Court of Legendsspeakeasy basketball experience at the Bellagio in Las Vegas during the final weekend of the NCAA Division 1 basketball tournament. The experience will also include a face off between Hanna and Haley on Sunday, April 5.

Even though they've graduated, the girls are not so quick to leave behind the world of college basketball (though, as former NCAA athletes, they are excited to finally be able to bet on some March Madness games). In fact, the twins are the first to admit that they're highly competitive — not just as athletes, but with each other.If they're in the gym and Haley does one more rep than Hanna, then Haley will tack on a few more just to one up her sister. They frequently settle disputes by playing a game of one-on-one basketball — and have been doing so since high school. When Hanna didn't want to drive to school one morning, she'd set an on-court challenge to her sister to settle the dispute. If there were dishes in the sink that neither wanted to do, Haley would do the same.

As the pair have grown older, they've "matured" and cooled off on the competitiveness — but only slightly.For sisters who have always been linked in the public eye, perceptions of them have always centered around them both. However, the twins say that there is more than meets the eye when it comes to each other and, being twins, they're bound to know best.Hanna calls Haley the "most aware human being I've ever encountered in my life."

Nothing can shake her mental clarity, Hanna jokes — not even when she's had a "little tequila.""That's in my maid of honor speech," Hanna adds, laughing, of her sister's upcoming nuptials to Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson."What wouldn't people know about Hanna?" Haley ponders. "I always call her my 'twin-ager.' She can handle so many things at one time. Without her, we wouldn't be us today because growing up, basketball and stuff, I was always tunnel vision on one thing."

"I very struggle a lot with compartmentalizing and Hanna can handle so many things at once and she doesn't even feel like there's anything on her," she continues of her younger (by just one minute) sister. "She handles it with such grace.""She's the heartbeat behind our brand," Haley adds.Despite the pair's competitiveness, they know that they're stronger as a team than apart. The two have made it their mission to be inspiring to other young girls, even as they leave the basketball world behind in a traditional sense."Whether it's basketball or just giving your advice and having such a big platform, I think we have a huge responsibility to encourage and uplift girls, and not even just younger ones. Other girls will come to us for advice, and I think that's just a big responsibility when you have a platform," Hanna says.

Super Bowl heading back to Las Vegas in 2029

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Super Bowl will return to Las Vegas in 2029 for the second time after NFL owners voted Monday to award the nation's gambling and entertainment capital the big game.

Las Vegas getting the Super Bowl back afterKansas City defeated San Francisco 25-22in overtime in February 2024 seemed like only a matter of time.

Commissioner Roger Goodell all but gave that possibility his blessing after the first Super Bowl in a city the league long shunned because of concerns about legalized sports betting.

"We're excited to bring the Super Bowl back to Las Vegas and provide our fans another incredible experience in one of America's greatest sport and entertainment destinations," Goodell said in a statement.

"Super Bowl LVIII demonstrated the scale, energy and hospitality the city brings to global events, and we look forward to working alongside the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, the Raiders and the community to deliver an even greater experience this time around."

Next year's Super Bowl will be played in California for the second straight time when Inglewood hosts. Santa Clara was the site of this year's game in whichSeattle beat New England 29-13.

Atlanta will host the 2028 game.

New England store's free furniture promo in danger of backfiring spectacularly thanks to UConn basketball teams

After massive — and dramatic — wins in the Elite Eight, both the UConn men and UConn women are just one win away from playing in the NCAA tournament final. For one New England furniture store, that reality could result in millions of dollars in lost profit.

Jordan's Furniture— a furniture chain in the multiple states of New England — ran what is looking like a potentially costly "UConn Championship Promotion" that is now just two wins away from paying out.

Here's how it works: Any person who purchased "eligible merchandise" from Jordan's between Jan. 20 and Feb. 16 would receive a rebate for their purchase — essentially making it free — if both UConn basketball teams played in their respective finals.

Well, following theUConn men's dramatic late win over Duke, both teams remain just one win away from making Jordan's pay out.

It's not the first time Jordan's has bet on a New England team and lost big. The outlet ran the same promotion for the Boston Red Sox in 2007. When the Red Sox won the World Series later that year, the furniture storepaid out roughly $30 million, per the Hartford Courant.

Jordan's is able to mitigate some of those costs by taking out insurance to manage its risk. Jordan's senior vice president of marketing Linda SanGiacomo told the Courant the store took out insurance on the UConn bet as well.

She added that the store is hoping UConn pulls off the feat so customers can earn free furniture.

"Jordan's takes out insurance policies to mitigate risk while maintaining engagement," SanGiacomo said. "For the UConn campaign, we purchased insurance at an estimated sales level so that we can deliver on our commitments when they win. As a company we are excitedly rooting for the UConn men's and women's teams. We want both the teams to make it to the finals and we want to give away free furniture to our great customers."

UConn players are in on the promotion as well, appearing in ads for Jordan's. Men's player Silas Demary Jr. said being involved in commercials made him even more motivated to make the promotion happen, per the Courant.

"Yes, for me, that gives me something else to play for, something added to play for," said Demary, who transferred from Georgia. "If we both win, all these people get free furniture. That's something I want to do and be a part of."

In order for that to actually happen, of course, both UConn teams need to win their next games. For the women, that will occur Friday against the winner of TCU and South Carolina. Those teams play Monday.

For the men, it will take place Saturday, when the team takes on Illinois in the Final Four.

Martha Stewart Confronts Jalen Brunson After He Broke Her Toe, Says It's 'My Fault for Wearing Open-Toe Shoes'

Martha Stewart confronted Jalen Brunson nearly one year after he broke her toe at the New York Knicks game against the Indiana Pacers in May 2025

NEED TO KNOW

• The lifestyle mogul recalled the painful interaction when she appeared on Brunson's podcast with his teammate and cohost Josh Hart in March 2025

• She revealed that he's since apologized to her and gifted her a signed basketball to give to her grandson

Martha Stewartis addressing her broken toe mishap.

The lifestyle mogul, 84, confrontedJalen Brunsonin person afterhe "broke" her toenearly one year ago when he landed on her during a New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden, in New York City, on May 21, 2025.

Stewart was recently a guest on Brunson's podcast,The Roommate Show, alongside his teammate and costarJosh Hart, theMarthastar looked back on the courtside collision and shared an update following their painful interaction.

Stewart was quick to take blame off the three-time NBA All-Star, who said he apologized immediately after the incident that went down during the Knicks 135-138 loss to the Indiana Pacers in overtime and sent a basketball to her for her grandson.

"You didn't know. It's not your fault, it's my fault for wearing open-toe shoes to a basketball game," said Stewart, who recalled the exact moment and feeling when Brunson toppled onto her on the sidelines.

"You don't sweat... your arm was cold," Stewart told Brunson on the podcast. "You had fallen, and you jumped up really fast. I remember saying to you, 'It's okay.' You had no idea that you had hurt me. I didn't say you hurt me, but I said, 'It's okay'."

"It wasn't okay at all," she added with a laugh.

Stewart then said she went to the Hospital of Special Surgery (HSS) on the Upper East Side of Manhattan after the game to get her toe checked out.

"They've named it the 'Stewart-Brunson fracture,' " she shared. "I have an X-ray, I'm going to leave you a picture of it... it was actually a break, so anyways, it's better now."

When asked by Hart how he feels about hearing that story from Stewart, Brunson admitted that he could be better.

"I don't feel too great. I don't feel too great," he shared on the show.

"I look back at it as just something silly, stupid and funny," said she said, adding, "It was stupid of me."

Stewartfirst brought the injury to lightwhen she appeared onThe Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallonin December 2025, when she spilled the beans on Brunson for accidentally fracturing her toe during the last five minutes of the Knicks-Pacers game in May.

When hostJimmy Fallonwhipped out a photo of Stewart sitting courtside, she instantly regretted her footwear choices.

"See those open-toe shoes? Never, ever wear open-toe shoes to a game like that when you're sitting on the floor," Stewart said on the show. "That's why I'm wearing open-toe shoes [now], because that's the only kind of shoes I can wear now."

If that wasn't enough, Stewart added that because the game went into overtime, she "couldn't get up and leave to go take care of my toe," which made things "more painful."

"I knew it was broken immediately. And he sat on my lap, comes crashing down...." she continued, explaining that 29-year-old Brunson wasn't aware of the situation.

At the time, Stewart didn't tell Brunson about the break, but she did tell his parents, including his dad and former Knicks player turned assistant coach,Rick Brunson, and that they thought it was "so funny."

"All I got out of it was a signed basketball for my grandchild," she joked.

Hurt was the wife offilmmaker Paul Schraderand appeared in his movies "Affliction" and "Light Sleeper." He had moved into Hunt's senior-living facility in 2023 to stay close to her.

"She was an actress, a wife, a sister, a mother, an aunt, a friend," her daughter wrote in an Instagram post, saying Hurt took on those roles "with grace and a kind ferocity."

"Although we're grieving there is some comfort in knowing she is no longer suffering and is reunited with her sisters in peace," she added.

Did Savannah Guthrie Receive Message Saying Mom Nancy Is Dead?

As the search forNancy Guthrieenters its eighth week, speculation is mounting that a secondalleged ransom notewas actually an apology letter revealing the 84-year-old had died.

The speculation was brought up on the March 28 episode ofMegyn Kelly's SiriusXM program,The Megyn Kelly Show, in which she spoke with former FBI supervisory special agent James Hamilton and veteran investigator Maureen O'Connell about the alleged contents of the ransom notes.

Kelly citedan X postfrom a user named Nerdy_Addict, whom she claimed has been accurate in their reporting throughout the investigation. In the post, the user wrote, "I now have two sources confirming that one of the letters sent to the media in the Nancy Guthrie case allegedly states the sender apologized, claiming they did not realize how serious her heart condition was and that she has 'gone to be with God.'"

Nancy, the mother ofTodayco-hostSavannahGuthrie, has beenmissing since January 31,when police believe she was abducted from her home in Tucson, Arizona. Since then, investigators have releaseddoorbell camera footageof a masked suspect andshared a descriptionof the potential abductor.

Previous reports noted that Nancy'spacemaker stopped syncingwith her Apple Watch in the early hours of February 1. Pima Country Sheriff Chris Nanos also revealed Nancy had limited mobility and required daily medication for high blood pressure and heart issues.

The X user claimed that "investigators believe the message came from the same individuals who previously demanded Bitcoin, though this latest letter reportedly made no demands and was framed solely as an apology."

Early in the investigation, law enforcement and media outlets, including TMZ, received two alleged ransom notes. The first included an offer to return Nancy in exchange for the cryptocurrency Bitcoin. According to TMZ, the value of the Bitcoin demanded was in the "millions."

Savannah said she wouldpay the ransomin an Instagram video shared in early February. However, TMZ recently confirmed that the Bitcoin wallet, which they have continued to monitor, hasn't received any funds.

"Why didn't the Guthrie family ever pay a ransom if they believed, as Savannah told us yesterday, that two of those ransom notes they received were authentic?" Kelly asked, referring to Savannah'srecentTodayinterview, in which she said, "I believe the two notes that we received, that we responded to, I tend to believe those are real."

Kelly, who noted the claims about the apology letter should be taken with "a grain of salt," went on to say that Savannah's Instagram plea "sounded like they believed Nancy was no longer alive."

"Return our mother to us so we can celebrate with her'—'celebrate' possibly being a term of art, like a celebration of life… That could dovetail with reporting that the second ransom note was more of an apology, claiming they had Nancy's body and that she had gone to be with God," the former Fox News anchor stated.

However, Hamilton wasn't so sure about the authenticity of the ransom notes, despite Savannah's belief that they were legitimate.

"All I'm hearing, Megyn, is what scam artists do. They prey upon grief. They prey upon your vulnerability," he explained. "They're saying anything they can to get paid. It really doesn't move the needle a lot for me."

Flash Flood Emergency Warnings: 3 Things To Know About This Rare Alert That Signals Imminent Danger

Flash flood emergency alerts are issued for potentially destructive and life-threatening flooding that is imminent or ongoing.

Here are three things to know about these very serious alerts issued by the National Weather Service, and what you should do if you are in an warned area.

1. It's The Highest Level Of Flood Alert

It's important to understand the differences between flash flood warnings and emergencies.

• Flash flood warnings are common: The NWS issues these by the thousands each year. Typically, at least some streets and roads will be flooded in areas covered by a flash flood warning, which can be dangerous for motorists. Some of these warnings cover events in which a few low-lying properties have taken on some water.

• Flash flood emergency warnings are rare: Given the large number of flash flood warnings issued, just over 20 years ago the NWS began issuing a more extreme alert, called a flash flood emergency, to highlight rare occasions when there is a major threat to life or potential for catastrophic damage.

• When issued, these flash flood emergencies are embedded within existing flash flood warnings, specifically as a headline near the top of the warning. They can cover parts of one or more counties, like the example below from Virginia in August 2025.

2. The Triggers For A Flash Flood Emergency

According to NWS guidelines, these are the situations that may trigger a flash flood emergency:

Advertisement

• A local or state emergency manager has confirmed that rapidly rising water is placing, or will place, people in a life-threatening situation.

• Water is expected, or has already rapidly risen, to levels where people in typically safe locations during other flash flood events will be in danger. These include cases where water could encroach several feet above floor level in a home, requiring rescue and putting the entire home at risk.

• Several swift-water rescue teams have been deployed to a flash flood of unusual magnitude.

• River and stream gauges indicate water has risen to at least major or rarely seen flood levels.

• A complete failure of a large, high-hazard dam is possible that would have a catastrophic impact on downstream areas.

This is a similar concept totornado emergencies, which are issued in cases where catastrophic damage and a severe threat to life is imminent or ongoing with a confirmed tornado.

3. Actions You Should Take

This highest flash flood alert will trigger your smartphone to screech loudly, known as a wireless emergency alert.

If you're in a flash flood emergency zone:

• Move to higher ground immediately.

• Do not travel unless you're either escaping a flooded area or are ordered to evacuate by local officials.

• Avoid walking or driving through any flood water. You may not be able to tell how deep the water is and the road underneath could have been washed out. Even slow-moving water can knock you off your feet or float your vehicle, sweeping you away downstream.

(MORE:Never Drive Through A Flooded Road. Your Vehicle Can Be A Trap.)

The bottom line: if you are in an area that has recently been placed in a flash flood emergency, do not travel and seek higher ground immediately. The National Weather Service uses these emergencies sparingly, so take them very seriously.
