Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are reportedly “practicing for parenthood” by getting a puppy together. Because, as we all know, babies and dogs are basically the same—minus the teething, tantrums, and college tuition. Solid plan, guys!

John Cena is retiring… kinda. The guy whose motto is “Never Give Up” is, well… giving up wrestling—but let’s be real, he’s probably just suplexing into another career. He’s calling it “closing a chapter,” but knowing Cena, that book’s getting a sequel. Meanwhile, catch WrestleMania 41 in Vegas, April 19th and 20th, streaming on Peacock!
