Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) head Dana White spoke about his friendship with the United States (U.S.) President Donald Trump, crediting him with putting his combat sport on the map.

White said he speaks with Trump “once a month” and that they do not discuss politics, adding, “The only time I talk business with him is fights.”

The UFC head said, “I would do anything for President Donald Trump. Trump hosted UFC bouts at his Taj Mahal Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, in 2001, giving the sport a major boost before it was widely popular.”

His remarks come as the White House prepares to host historical UFC bouts on June 14, 2026, commemorating the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States.

The event coincides with Trump’s 80th birthday and his love for sport is not secret, as the U.S. president has already forced France to reschedule the G7 meeting to accommodate the fight.

White said he was focused on delivering the best fights possible, adding, “As long as I don’t mess those up, it’s tough to blow it.”

An arena with a seating capacity of 1,000 people will be built on the White House lawn. Trump said that all the championship bouts at the venue would be “legendary”.

The UFC has not yet shared details about the fighters or the planned bouts.

Amanda Holden has shared a sweet tribute to mark her daughter Hollie’s birthday, as her youngest child turned 14 years old on Friday.

The Britain’s Got Talent star, 54, who shares daughters Hollie and Lexi, 20, with her husband Chris Hughes, marked the occasion with close family members. 

She shared a stunning snap of the teenager looking like her double, while enjoying dinner at the legendary Beverly Hills Hotel, taken during the family’s trip to Los Angeles in October. 

The TV personality added a heartwarming video to the post of a little Hollie running towards her mum and dad in the park and declaring: ‘BASH!’

And in the caption, she added little explainers for each of the photos and clips, writing: ‘1 -HRH -Beverly Hills Hotel. 2- HRH – sitting on the ‘naughty step’ and was a huge fan of Peppa Pig’. 3- watch video until end -so cute!!!! (if ever she hurt herself) we’d say BASH!’

Amanda also gushed: ‘Our little HRH turns 14th today. Our fire cracker-our very sassy, hugely talented Hollie!! We love you darling Hollie Rose Hughes’.

Her post was flooded with congratulatory messages from her famous followers, with soap star and close pal Nicola Stephenson.

Kim Kardashian is setting the record straight about her longtime friendship with Jonathan Cheban.

While the two don’t spend as much time together as they once did, Kim says there’s no drama between them. The Kardashians star addressed their relationship on Khloé Kardashian’s Khloé in Wonder Land podcast on January 21.

“I love Jonathan,” Kim, 45, said. “I think people think we don’t talk.”

The SKIMS mogul explained that their lives simply changed over time, especially after she became a mom to North, 12, Saint, 10, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6, whom she shares with ex Kanye West.

“Jonathan and I are good,” Kim said. “Here’s the thing. I had kids and it’s really hard to maintain friendships when you have kids and you’re like in it. And Jonathan’s not going to come and sit around Calabasas all day, he’s like always on the move.”

Khloé agreed, adding of Cheban’s lifestyle, “I get that. There’s so much history there.”

Despite their busy schedules, Cheban remains close to the family. He attended Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday party in November, and Kim even FaceTimed him during the podcast.

“That was probably one of the best parties in like 15 years,” Cheban, 51, said. “They don’t do parties like that anymore.”

Kim also reflected on the early days of their friendship, recalling how they once staged paparazzi moments in New York.

“We totally scammed the system, and it was on like every cover, and we thought we were killing it,” she said.

Cheban also helped shape Kim’s public image early on.

“‘You have got to stop smiling,’” Kim recalled him saying. “’Like, Victoria Beckham never smiles.’”
