Kit Hoover and Crowley Sullivan have reportedly called it quits on their marriage. The “Access Hollywood” host and Sullivan are separating after 25 years of marriage, according to a report published by People on Wednesday. Although Hoover, 54, and the chief executive officer of Athlete Advantage have yet to publicly address the alleged split, a source close to the matter told Us Weekly that she has been declaring herself “single” for a while. “She’s been telling people she is single and getting divorced,” the insider claimed in the article published Wednesday. Page Six reached out to Hoover’s reps but did not receive an immediate response. News of the alleged divorce comes after the TV personality stopped posting photos of Sullivan on her personal Instagram account in recent months. Additionally, Hoover has been spotted sans her wedding ring in photos and videos shared on social media leading up to the news of the reported breakup. On Tuesday, she shared photos taken on set at Universal Studios in Hollywood and was not pictured wearing her wedding ring. The mother of three — who tied the knot with Sullivan in 1999 — previously celebrated their 24th wedding anniversary with an Instagram tribute in August 2023. “Holy Cow – We are 24 years old in this pic and NOW – Happy 24th anniversary Honeybun!!! Thanks for loving this lunatic and for our beautiful family that is my EVERYTHING. I love you. 💚🍀💚#stillhavingfun #stilltheone #grateful #joyfulliving,” she captioned the post at the time. The first slide of her carousel post included the throwback snapshot she addressed in the caption, while the second slide featured a more recent photo of the now estranged couple. Hoover and Sullivan welcomed their daughters, Campbell and Hayes, along with their son, Crowley, during their marriage. In May, the journalist appeared on “the Kelly Clarkson Show” and seemingly hinted at the dynamics in her marriage changing as she and Sullivan became empty nesters. “I’m in a transition period,” Hoover told the “Because of You” hitmaker. “Empty nest, my kids are getting up and out. I’ve been a mom for so long. That’s a weird thing. What does my relationship look like with my husband? Like, ‘Hey, nice to meet you again.’” Clarkson encouraged Hoover to see the silver lining that she and Sullivan can “date again,” which Hoover echoed with, “You gotta date again.”Qatar tribune Agencies The US economy added more jobs than expected last month, government data showed Friday, bouncing back from a dramatic slowdown triggered by hurricanes and labor strikes. The world’s biggest economy gained 227,000 jobs in November, up from a revised 36,000 in October, said the Department of Labor. The rise in hiring was likely due to a return of Boeing workers and others who had gone on strike, and came as the cumulative impact of hurricanes Helene and Milton faded. “This has been a hard-fought recovery, but we are making progress for working families,” said President Joe Biden in a statement. Analysts warn, however, that job growth has been narrowly based across just a few sectors. Friday’s figure “marks only a moderate-sized bounce back” from the strikes and disasters, said Nationwide chief economist Kathy Bostjancic. Average job gains over the last two months remains soft, she added. Last month “employment trended up in health care, leisure and hospitality, government, and social assistance,” said the Labor Department. But the retail trade sector lost jobs, the department added in its report. The hiring figure was above a market consensus expectation of 200,000 according to Briefing.com. Average hourly earnings rose more than expected too from a month prior, by 0.4 percent to $35.61. From the same period a year ago, wages were up 4.0 percent. Strong wage growth should help boost consumer spending during the holiday season, Bostjancic said. EY senior economist Lydia Boussour said in a recent note that she expects job growth to settle “below trend” as the labor market cools gradually. But she believes “a labor market downturn isn’t on the near-term horizon” with layoffs remaining relatively low. Companies have also been managing their workforces using other means like holding back wages and resizing instead of letting people go. The report is one of the final major economic indicators that the US central bank is taking into consideration as officials enter a policy meeting in the coming weeks. Many expect the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates a third time in a row, after its meeting from December 17-18. But Fed Chair Jerome Powell said this week that policymakers could “afford to be a little more cautious,” noting that the US economy remains strong. One factor is US inflation data, which came in a little bit hotter than expected recently, ZipRecruiter chief economist Julia Pollak told AFP.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles.

Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time.

The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, during the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) iLearningEngines’ “Technology Partner” was an undisclosed related party; (2) iLearningEngines used its undisclosed related party Technology Partner to report “largely fake” revenue and expenses; (3) as a result of the foregoing, iLearningEngines significantly overstated its revenue; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, defendants’ positive statements about iLearningEngines’ business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

The S&P 500 rose 0.3% Friday. The Dow added 1%, and the Nasdaq composite tacked on 0.2%. Retailers had some of the biggest gains. Gap soared after reporting quarterly results that easily beat analysts’ estimates. EchoStar fell after DirecTV called off its purchase of that company’s Dish Network unit. European markets closed mostly higher and Asian markets ended mixed. Treasury yields held relatively steady in the bond market. Crude oil prices gained ground. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. Stocks rose on Wall Street in afternoon trading Friday, keeping the market on track for its fifth straight gain. The S&P 500 was up 0.2% and was solidly on track for a weekly gain that will erase most of last week's loss. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 333 points, or 0.8%, and the Nasdaq composite was essentially flat with a gain of less than 0.1% as of 3:07 p.m. Eastern. Markets have been volatile over the last few weeks, losing ground in the runup to elections in November, then surging following Donald Trump's victory, before falling again. The S&P 500 has been steadily rising throughout this week to within close range of its record. “Overall, market behavior has normalized following an intense few weeks,” said Mark Hackett, chief of investment research at Nationwide, in a statement. Several retailers jumped after giving Wall Street encouraging financial updates. Gap soared 10.8% after handily beating analysts' third-quarter earnings and revenue expectations, while raising its own revenue forecast for the year. Discount retailer Ross Stores rose 1.5% after raising its earnings forecast for the year. EchoStar fell 2.4% after DirecTV called off its purchase of that company's Dish Network unit. Smaller company stocks had some of the biggest gains. The Russell 2000 index rose 1.8%. A majority of stocks in the S&P 500 were gaining ground, but those gains were kept in check by slumps for several big technology companies. Nvidia fell 3.3%. Its pricey valuation makes it among the heaviest influences on whether the broader market gains or loses ground. The company has grown into a nearly $3.6 trillion behemoth because of demand for its chips used in artificial-intelligence technology. Intuit, which makes TurboTax and other accounting software, fell 5.6%. It gave investors a quarterly earnings forecast that fell short of analysts’ expectations. Facebook owner Meta Platforms fell 0.8% following a decision by the Supreme Court to allow a multibillion-dollar class action investors’ lawsuit to proceed against the company. It stems from the privacy scandal involving the Cambridge Analytica political consulting firm. European markets closed mostly higher and Asian markets ended mixed. Crude oil prices rose. Treasury yields held relatively steady in the bond market. The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 4.41% from 4.42% late Thursday. In the crypto market, Bitcoin hovered around $99,000, according to CoinDesk. It has more than doubled this year and first surpassed the $99,000 level on Thursday. Retailers remained a big focus for investors this week amid close scrutiny on consumer spending habits headed into the holiday shopping season. Walmart, the nation's largest retailer, reported a quarter of strong sales and gave investors an encouraging financial forecast. Target, though, reported weaker earnings than analysts' expected and its forecast disappointed Wall Street. Consumer spending has fueled economic growth, despite a persistent squeeze from inflation and high borrowing costs. Inflation has been easing and the Federal Reserve has started trimming its benchmark interest rates. That is likely to help relieve pressure on consumers, but any major shift in spending could prompt the Fed to reassess its path ahead on interest rates. Also, any big reversals on the rate of inflation could curtail spending. Consumer sentiment remains strong, according to the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index. It revised its latest figure for November to 71.8 from an initial reading of 73 earlier this month, though economists expected a slight increase. It's still up from 70.5 in October. The survey also showed that consumers' inflation expectations for the year ahead fell slightly to 2.6%, which is the lowest reading since December of 2020. Wall Street will get another update on how consumers feel when the business group The Conference Board releases its monthly consumer confidence survey on Tuesday. A key inflation update will come on Wednesday when the U.S. releases its October personal consumption expenditures index. The PCE is the Fed's preferred measure of inflation and this will be the last PCE reading prior to the central bank's meeting in December. Damian J. Troise And Alex Veiga, The Associated Press

FILE PHOTO: Nov 20, 2024; Piscataway, New Jersey, USA; Rutgers Scarlet Knights guard Ace Bailey (4) attempts to deflect a pass intended for Merrimack Warriors guard Devon Savage (5) during the second half at Jersey Mike's Arena. Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images/File Photo No. 24 Rutgers will look to continue its torrid start to the season on Sunday afternoon when it visits Kennesaw State in Georgia. The Scarlet Knights' promising five-star recruits, Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper, have been as good as advertised. Bailey has averaged 20 points and 8 rebounds in the two games he's played, while the latter has contributed 19.5 and 5.5, respectively, in his four contests. Bailey collected 23 points and 10 rebounds and Harper added 14 and eight, respectively, to propel Rutgers to a 74-63 victory over Merrimack on Wednesday in Piscataway, N.J. After the contest, Bailey sported a toothy grin that did little to disguise the fun he's having on the court. "We play together, we're all laughing as a team, we're enjoying the game of basketball, how it should be played," Bailey said. "It's fun." Head coach Steve Pikiell might have a different take, at least when considering the game's first 20 minutes against the Warriors anyway. The Scarlet Knights held a seven-point advantage at intermission, but Pikiell wasn't pleased with what he saw on the defensive end. Bailey said he got the message. "You don't play no defense, you ain't gonna play," he said. "Communication-wise, I wouldn't say it was terrible at first, but it was not where it needed to be. It's getting better -- it's still not where it needs to be, but it's improving." It better improve considering Rutgers (4-0) is leaving the Garden State for the first time this season. The Scarlet Knights will exit Georgia after Sunday's game and venture to Las Vegas for the Players Era Festival before visiting Ohio State for the Big Ten opener on Dec. 7. "We need to figure ourselves out, but I am looking forward to the trip," Pikiell said. "I'm gonna try to get these guys to put their phones down for five minutes and really bond as a team. "We wanted to be 4-0 in this stretch, and that's what we are. I'll learn more about our team, but if they keep improving, and they keep staying together, we will have the chance to be very good." Kennesaw State, which is off to a 4-1 start for the third consecutive season, pushed its winning streak to three games on Wednesday with an 84-78 victory over Abilene Christian. Simeon Cottle followed up his 27-point performance in the Owls' 85-67 win over Presbyterian last Saturday with 22 points versus the Wildcats. Cottle sank all 12 of his free throws against the Blue Hose and all 10 versus Abilene Christian to improve to 26-for-26 on the season. "Just constant work being in the gym daily," Cottle said. "We have a little thing called 'free-throw game' at the end of the practice that we do every day. It's consistent reps. By doing that, it's allowed me to be successful with my free throws." Cottle is averaging 18.8 points and 4 assists while fellow guard and two-time Conference USA freshman of the week Adrian Wooley is contributing 15.2 and 3.8, respectively. --Field Level Media REUTERS Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.

North America’s top professional sports leagues have issued warnings to their players about a growing threat from high-tech, organized burglary rings, whose tools of choice are passports, cutting-edge technology and a 90-day calendar. The NBA memo, citing FBI intelligence, specifically linked the crimes to “transnational South American Theft Groups” that target “professional athletes and other high-net-worth individuals.” These groups are known for using “advanced techniques” such as pre-surveillance, drones, signal-jamming devices and other cutting-edge technology. The NFL highlighted the risks posed by what it called “organized and skilled groups” of burglars targeting wealthy athletes. 24/7 San Diego news stream: Watch NBC 7 free wherever you are While the warnings did not name victims, they were issued after the homes of athletes including Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce and Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis were recently burglarized. The tactics described in the memos bear a striking resemblance to a wave of break-ins targeting affluent residents in Southern California . Federal and local officials from Los Angeles and Orange County have reported a spike in break-ins by what they call “burglary tourists” — criminals from Central and South America who legally enter the U.S. on 90-day tourist visas under the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA). But instead of packing swimsuits and sunscreen, police said these individuals are armed with disguises, video equipment, trail cameras and Wi-Fi jammers. They target wealthy neighborhoods and gated communities before moving on to avoid detection. These “burglary tourists” have been at work for at least five years, but their operations have intensified in recent times as information about addresses and even pictures of properties have become increasingly accessible. “Transnational gangs might not know everything about the house that they are breaking into,” LAPD Chief of Detectives Alan Hamilton told NBC News on Friday. “But there’s always a possibility these suspects know who they are and monitor the athletes’ social media and movements.” Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley’s home was also burglarized in September while he was attending an NFL game, The Minnesota Star Tribune reported . U.S. & World Trump taps Rollins as agriculture chief, completing proposed slate of Cabinet secretaries A Thanksgiving survival guide for parents of picky eaters Portis posted on Instagram on Nov. 3 saying his “prized possessions” were stolen from his home during his team’s game the previous day. Kelce’s and Mahomes’ homes in Kansas City were broken into hours apart in October. The burglars made off with $20,000 in cash and caused $1,000 in damage to Kelce’s home, according to a police report obtained by NBC affiliate KSHB of Kansas City . Mahomes has called the ordeal “frustrating” and “disappointing.” This trend has spread to other cities including Chicago, Houston and Dallas. “Law enforcement has long recognized this pattern of crimes across the Midwest,” Hamilton said. “It’s not something they have been immune to.” Law enforcement from coast to coast, including the FBI, has been tracking these criminal networks for years, with suspects linked to South American gangs appearing in nearly every state, Hamilton said. “It’s totally military”-level technology, Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer told NBC News over the summer. “People we’ve arrested here in Orange County have criminal records coming from the country of Chile.” If Southern California law enforcement has made progress in reducing these crimes, it may be driving more of these operations to other regions of the country. The NBA and NFL urged players to take preventive measures, such as activating alarm systems and surveillance cameras, securing valuables in safes and avoid oversharing on social media. “The FBI reported that, in most of the incidents, the homes were equipped with alarm systems that were not activated,” reads the NBA memo obtained by NBC News on Friday. “The FBI also reported that the homes were all unoccupied and, in most cases, no dogs were present.” This story first appeared on NBCNews.com.
