Daily #1: Halle Berry, 59, Turns Heads in Two-Toned Bikini for Bora Bora Birthday
Halle Berry slipped into a tiny black-and-white bikini while on vacation in Bora Bora for her 59th birthday. The “Catwoman” star took to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday to share a photo of herself posing in Monday Swimwear’s Tamarama Top ($88) and Malta Bottom ($78). She accessorized with black sunglasses and a wide-brimmed sun hat for the oceanfront outing. It is amazing that the movie star still looks this good as she approaches her sixtieth birthday.
Another picture showed the actress soaking up the sun on a hammock. Berry, whose birthday is Aug. 14, celebrated her big day with more sun-filled pictures of her sporting a mustard yellow swimsuit. She seemed in good spirits as she sipped a drink from a coconut while relaxing by the water. Another picture showed Berry wearing a white bikini while snacking in bed with her boyfriend, Van Hunt. Berry has seemingly been enjoying more time off, as she also recently came back from vacationing in Utah with Hunt, whom she’s been dating since 2020. The Hunt said in June that he had proposed to Berry, but said she had not given him an answer.
Daily #2: Kaitlyn Bristowe Opens Up About Post-Surgery Pain Med Dependency
The second daily story is about Kaitlyn Bristowe, the former star of The Bachelorette, who recovered from her boob job with great difficulty. Three months after undergoing breast augmentation surgery for new implants, the Bristowe got candid about her experience, stressing to those undergoing a similar procedure to “make sure someone is taking care of you” throughout the healing process. “I thought I’d be fine and forgot my whole pill-taking schedule and got a little addicted to pain meds,” Kaitlyn wrote in an Instagram Stories Q&A Aug. 21, per Us Weekly. “Scary.” The 40-year-old also urged fans to “trust” their doctor.
Bristowe had some good advice for people, though it seemed obvious. Following the procedure, she cautioned her followers from going online while under the influence of pain medication. ‘Don’t do any social media, make decisions, or shop,’ she added before sharing another personal story about her recovery.
Daily #3: Taylor Swift Gets Engaged to Travis Kelce
The daily story number three is that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are getting married! Probably the biggest story in the world. The popstar announced their engagement on August 26 with an Instagram post captioned, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.” The engagement photo features Travis, in a black top and khakis, kneeling before Taylor, who’s wearing a black and white striped set. The couple is surrounded by trees and flowers, and it looks like the perfect place to get engaged! The final photo features the couple sitting on a bench hidden within a trellis.
Taylor Swift does have an engagement ring, a big one. However, the rumors of the engagement started after Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert in Warsaw on August 3, 2024. In a viral video during the Lover set, Taylor tells the crowd she’s in a “fantastic mood tonight” and then plays with a ring on her ring finger. Naturally, TikTok’s gone wild! “Went that night to the concert and IMMEDIATELY called that out,” one user comments, while another says, “I think they have been since the Lake Como photos!”
