Vanessa Kirby has finally embraced motherhood.

The 37-year-old actress longtime partner, Paul Rabil, took to Instagram to announce the birth of their first child.

Rabil, a former professional lacrosse player, posted a series of pictures which opened with a snap of him carrying his blanket-wrapped baby close to his chest.

Another snap featured Kirby and their newly born child as the duo was lying together in bed.

The post was accompanied by a heartfelt caption, that read, “I’m learning that becoming a parent slows you down and wakes you up at the same time.”

“That I’m really grateful for everyone’s health, that I get to wake up everyday to mum’s enormous love, and that we get to have you in our lives now,” he added.

Referring to the last picture of two miniature lacrosse sticks in the carousel, Rabil concluded the caption by writing, “For your first cradle stick. It’ll hold many stories and blessings. Likely broken windows too. Balls are allowed in the house.”

He also posted the lacrosse sticks picture with a white heart emoji on his Instagram Stories.

It is pertinent to mention that Kirby and Rabil made their relationship public in November 2023 after sparking dating rumors in 2022.

Meghan Markle has been issued a stark warning regarding stripping of her royal title when her brother-in-law Prince William becomes King.

Writing for the Daily Beast, citing royal insiders, royal expert Tom Sykes claims Meghan and Harry will also finally have their HRHs revoked after years of tensions.

The report says, “Meghan continues to use her HRH despite being ordered not to do so by the late Queen Elizabeth II.”

The report further said the dramatic change will be effected by an executive royal order known as “letters patent.”

The fresh claims came days after Prince Andrew announced to relinquish royal title, the Duke of York after discussion with King Charles, and other ‘immediate and wider family.’

The palace releases statement on behalf of Andrew, which reads, “We have concluded the continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family. I have decided, as I always have, to put my duty to my family and country first. I stand by my decision five years ago to stand back from public life.

“With His Majesty’s agreement, we feel I must now go a step further. I will therefore no longer use my title or the honours which have been conferred upon me. As I have said previously, I vigorously deny the accusations against me.”

• IHC Justice Arbab Muhammad Tahir hears KP CM’s plea.
• Registrar’s office initially raised objections over petition.
• Consultation with Imran must for KP cabinet formation: Afridi.

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday removed registrar office’s objections on a petition filed by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister Sohail Afridi seeking meeting with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founding chairman Imran Khan in Adiala jail.

IHC Justice Arbab Muhammad Tahir heard the plea and issued notices to the interior secretary, the Punjab Home Department secretary, the inspector general of police, and the superintendent of Adiala jail. The court directed authorities to submit their responses by October 23.

Afridi moved IHC on October 17, just two days after being sworn in as KP chief minister on October 15. A day earlier, on October 16, he had obtained protective bail from the PHC and proceeded to Adiala jail — where PTI founding chairman Imran Khan has been incarcerated — to seek a meeting with him. However, the prison authorities denied the request.

Following the denial, he approached IHC but the registrar’s office initially raised objections over the maintainability of his petition.

During the hearing, Afridi’s counsel Advocate Ali Bukhari appeared before the court and informed IHC that the registrar’s office had raised multiple objections to the petition.

Subsequently, after hearing arguments, the court issued notices to the Adiala jail superintendent and others for October 23.

In his plea, CM Afridi maintained that consultation with PTI founder is must for the formation of cabinet in KP and guidance on provincial governance. 

In the application, CM Afridi stated that he is the elected chief minister and represents a population of 45 million people. He added that the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa voted for the PTI in the 2024 general elections, through which the party secured 92 seats.

The plea maintained that the PTI founding chairman is currently imprisoned in Adiala jail, and a meeting with him is essential, especially given the current law and order and economic challenges facing the province.
