Fans are speculating that Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott might be engaged. The speculations came after the 20-year old supermodel shared an emotional 11-minute video on YouTube that shows highlights from her pregnancy with their baby, Stormi Webster. In a few clips, Kylie is spotted wearing a huge diamond ring on her wedding finger.

Chidiogo Akunyili, the daughter of late Dora Akunyili  had her civil wedding ceremony to her fiance. The author, speaker and founder of She ROARs Africa, shared a post on her page on Instagram hinting that there will be more celebrations to come. The bride’s mum, Dora Akunyili was a former Director General of the National Agency for Food & Drug Administration & Control (NAFDAC); she also served as a Minister of Information and Communications from 2008 to 2010.

Celebrating our civil union 🌞 Excited for all the white & colourful celebrations with friends and family to come 🙏🏾 Thank you Andrew for being a daily reminder of the miracles that exist in this world and the power we have to tap into it. On a cold February evening in Geneva, I wrote down words that I feel connected our destinies & led our paths to cross 7 months later in the deserts of Nevada. “Monday, 8 Feb 2016. Geneva – Clayton asked that I do a true exercise of what I want. Here goes. I seek a partnership with a strong man, mind, body and spirit. I seek a partnership with a man who will cherish, love and honour me & the life we build together, supporting each other through the journey with kindness, love, a smile & words that put difficulties in perspective. He will not be away from home all the time but have a career that allows for him to assist strongly and sometimes wholly in building a home for us and for the children. He will be conscious and inspire us to grow in consciousness. He will be full of kindness and have a depth of love that leaves us inspired by what two people can achieve together. He will hold me and we will give gratitude. He will be flexible. He is adventurous/open to new experiences. He is happy in himself & together we share happiness in God and Love.” 7 months later after strong guidance came to me to go to Burning Man — I met him. It was a story of the union of souls. I felt I had written him to existence and rejoiced in the connection we shared. One I know started with a decision to focus on the wholeness of my own soul — self love — & from the space of taking time for self I was ready to take time for anothers soul and him mine inturn. I was not looking for a man so save me but a man to hold me up in my own strength. Together we continue to weave a web of care, love, strength, that isn’t without its difficulties but I’m learning & growing with & from them. I say yes to a life spent together in partnership — to holding each other up outwardly and on the inside — to loving every part of ourselves and each other knowing we have the power to create and re-create from a place of peace with what is & the infinity that can be.

While everyone else talked about why supermodel, Heidi Klum tanned only one leg, we’re just drolling about the stunning gown she wore to the amfAR Gala in New York on Wednesday, the 7th of February, 2018. The supermodel wore a dress by Zuhair Murad from their Spring ’17 couture collection, which was decorated with thousands of sparkling blue crystals and silver threading. We can absolutely see a bride rocking this look to her reception.
