☆ When my kid came out as nonbinary, their grandparents cut off all contact. It has created a painful divide in the family.

As the only grandchild, our kiddo was surrounded by a large, extended family of people who showered them with affection and support. However, in 2020, when our teenager came out as queer and nonbinary, they experienced a painful wake-up call: Their grandparents' love was not as unconditional as we'd hoped. AdvertisementKnowing that our families choose not to widen the network of love and support for their only grandchild hurts us. Our kid is excited to step out into the world, knowing it won't always tolerate them, but assured that there is a support system at home. I wish their grandparents would allow themselves to be part of this support system, but we respect the choice to be absent.

I came out of reality TV retirement to go on "The Traitors." I'm going through my texts and one is like, "Hey, I'm a reality TV producer, I want to get you on this show." I couldn't eat and also pretend that I didn't know who got murdered, so I just did my best to hang out. I enjoyed competing on 'The Traitors,' but I'm done with reality TV for good this timeGheesling is saying bye to reality TV, for real this time. As far as returning to reality TV, I think this was it for me.

I've had people say to me that the energy went down and people started to get really, really argumentative in there, so it's what happens when you get rid of me. Speaking of "Love Island," obviously you and Bergie were representing "Love Island" UK and US on "The Traitors." I love "Love Island," but for me, "Love Island" was 2022 season eight, and for me, that is a chapter closed. There's so much I want to do in my life now, and I don't think "Love Island" fits in that category. I'd love to host shows like "Love Island," but I definitely wouldn't go back as a contestant.

At the same time, Ms. Haley earned a new lift from the super PAC, called Independents Moving the Needle. It said it would initially focus on New Hampshire, where Republican voters are more moderate than in many other states — and, crucially, where voters who are not registered with a party can choose to participate in the Republican or Democratic primary race. After the New Hampshire primary on Jan. 23, the group will turn to South Carolina — Ms. Haley’s home state — and to “selected Super Tuesday states with open primaries,” according to a memo shared with The New York Times. “We all believe that Nikki Haley is an outstanding leader,” the memo says. “She has by far the best electability of any Republican presidential candidate in 2024.
