certainly look at the facts. Kums, who has pleaded not guilty,

(02:15):
faces life in prison if convicted. The trial began in
mid April and included testimony from ex partner Cassie Ventura.
The comments come as Trump continues a recent wave of

Aiden was born after a brief relationship following Muhammad's two
thousand and one divorce from Yorlanda hadd and she discovered
the connection through a DNA test after the man she

they first connected with Aiden in twenty twenty three and
have since welcomed her warmly into the family. She is

of Design and aspires to build a career in fashion
as a designer, stylist, and influencer. Muhammad Hadid's relationship with
Aiden has been described as cordial and pleasant, though discreet.
That's your evening News Headlines. On tomorrow's episode of The Quikie,

from toxic family relationships and why sometimes loving someone from
a distance might be the kindest choice you can make.
