Chrissy Teigen and John Legend are grieving as their newborn son has died shortly after his birth. Taking to Instagram on Wednesday evening, September 30, Chrissy shared the heartbreaking news with fans. 
The 34-year-old model, who was rushed to the hospital over the weekend after she started bleeding and had to undergo blood transfusions, explained that all that "wasn't enough". 
Their third child, named Jack, was born but suffered complications and died. 
Sharing photos of herself and John in the hospital with their newborn son, Chrissy wrote: We are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we’ve never felt before. We were never able to stop the bleeding and give our baby the fluids he needed, despite bags and bags of blood transfusions. It just wasn’t enough...We never decide on our babies’ names until the last possible moment after they’re born, just before we leave the hospital. But we, for some reason, had started to call this little guy in my belly Jack. So he will always be Jack to us. Jack worked so hard to be a part of our little family, and he will be, forever...To our Jack - I’m so sorry that the first few moments of your life were met with so many complications, that we couldn’t give you the home you needed to survive. We will always love you...Thank you to everyone who has been sending us positive energy, thoughts and prayers. We feel all of your love and truly appreciate you..We are so grateful for the life we have, for our wonderful babies Luna and Miles, for all the amazing things we’ve been able to experience. But everyday can’t be full of sunshine. On this darkest of days, we will grieve, we will cry our eyes out. But we will hug and love each other harder and get through it. 
On Twitter, she wrote: "Driving home from the hospital with no baby. How can this be real."

TV news reporter Kamie Jo Roesler has been charged after smashing a beer bottle over the head of a man during a heated argument. The news presenter, 28, who works for WIS-TV in Columbia is believed to have gotten into a disagreement with the victim, 32, on Sunday evening, September 27, while sitting with a group of people on 1100 block of North Prairie Avenue in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The disagreement turned violent when Roesler allegedly lashed out at the victim, smashing a beer bottle before striking him and leaving him with cuts to his face. 
A spokesperson for Sioux Falls Police Department, Sam Clemens said: "We had a few people that were there and two of them began arguing. "They know each other; they're not in any type of relationship. The victim said that it was some type of political argument." However, he did not elaborate on what the political discussion was about. Clemens went on to say that the victim refused medical treatment from first responders but is believed to have been treated elsewhere and "looked like he was probably" going to need stitches for the injuries he sustained. Following calls to the police, Roesler was arrested and has since been charged with aggravated assault.The post TV news reporter arrested after 'smashing beer bottle over man's head' during argument appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
Manchester City has announced the signing of Portuguese defender Ruben Dias from Benfica in a £64.3million move. The 23-year-old who had his medical in Lisbon signed a six-year contract, which saw Nicolas Otamendi moved to Benfica for £13.7m as part of the deal. 'I am a player that loves to win, a player for the team, for the fans, a player that loves this family spirit which I am feeling a lot since I have been here,' Dias said. 'I am an aggressive player and I love what I do. I love the game and without getting into too much detail, because it is something you will see when I start playing, the most important thing to say is I love to win and that is the thing you most need to know about me.
'I am expecting the Premier League to be the reason why I wanted to be a football player. To have that feeling when I am on the field, when my arms get goosebumps. 'That is it, that feeling, you cannot even put it into words. For me, the Premier League means all of that and to be able to play in the Premier League at a top club like City, it doesn't get much bigger than that.' After failing to replace Vincent Kompany last year, City sporting director Txiki Begiristain revealed that the club are expecting Dias to take leadership responsibility. 'Ruben is a player we have admired for some time and we have been impressed with how he has progressed at Benfica,' Begiristain said. 'He has developed into a real leader and as a defender, he has all the attributes we are looking for. He is strong in the air, good in one v one situations and technically, he is very good, so we are confident he can thrive in our system.
'He is young but has gained valuable experience at a big European club in Benfica and we're really pleased we've been able to sign him. He is another talented addition to the squad and someone who is only going to get better working under Pep.' Dias, who becomes City's third signing of the summer following the arrivals of Nathan Ake and Ferran Torres, will wear the No 3 shirt.

On Wednesday morning, September 30, US President Donald Trump faced Democratic challenger Joe Biden in the first election debates.The debate took place in Ohio and was moderated by Fox News anchor, Chris Wallace.
During the feisty debates which saw attacks thrown between the two candidates, Trump claimed he paid millions in federal income taxes after a New York Times report alleged he paid just $750 as income tax in 2016 and 2017.
Trump also refused to condemn White Supremacists telling them to 'stand down and stand by' while Biden told him to 'shut up' when he was constantly interrupted by the president.Trump also brought up drug addiction allegations against Biden's son, Hunter, while Biden said he will accept the outcome of the election no matter the results.
Social media users of course reacted to the cagey animal-like debate which saw both candidates come for each other with Trump mostly ignoring time warnings set by host Chris Wallace.See some reactions below. 
Chris Wallace: "Are you willing, tonight, to condemn white supremacists and militia groups and to say that they need to stand down..."Trump: "Proud Boys, stand back and stand by! But I'll tell you what, somebody's got to do something about antifa and the left." pic.twitter.com/4vrPocKzcu— Axios (@axios) September 30, 2020.@GStephanopoulos: "I have to speak personally here...that was the worst presidential debate I have ever seen in my life." https://t.co/5Bl4Ob3O2t #Debates2020 pic.twitter.com/FxMlSbshiw— ABC News (@ABC) September 30, 2020"Mr. President, let him answer!""Mr. President, please stop."Moderator Chris Wallace repeatedly tries to keep Pres.
