The family of social media influencer Ashly Robinson, widely known as Ashlee Jenae, revealed this week that her remains have been returned to her home state of New Jersey. However, the emotional homecoming has been marred by a troubling discovery that Robinson’s body arrived without any of her personal belongings, including the engagement ring she had been wearing just days before her death in Zanzibar.

After a rebounding display for the ages, the Atlanta Dream forward made sure the world knew exactly who was dominating the paint.

Angel Reese knows a thing or two about dominating the glass, and she made sure to give Wendell Carter Jr. his flowers after his latest postseason performance. Following the Orlando Magic’s 113-105 win over the Detroit Pistons in Game 3, Reese took to social media to celebrate Carter’s massive night on the boards.

Carter, the Magic’s 27-year-old center, put up 14 points and 17 rebounds in 37 minutes of play. The 17 boards represented his best rebounding effort since the 2021-22 season and secured his first double-double of April. Reese, who is heading into her third WNBA season and recently joined the Atlanta Dream, noticed the similarity to her own stat lines.

The public praise follows another viral moment from earlier in the series. Reese previously shared a clip of Carter dunking on Pistons big man Jalen Duren with the caption, "GAME 1. PLAY THE SONGGGGG." The post sparked conversation among fans, as Reese and Duren were linked in social media rumors during the 2024 off-season.

Carter has been a vital part of the Magic's rotation during the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Through three games, he is averaging 11.3 points and 9.7 rebounds while shooting efficiently from the field. In the Game 3 victory, he shot 5-of-9 and added three assists anCarter has been a vital part of the Magic's rotation during the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

The actress's father, Sylvester 'Cully' Union Jr., died on April 3 at age 81 after a long battle with dementia. At the Tiffany & Co. Blue Book Gala, Gabrielle reflected on what real partnership looks like in grief.

Gabrielle Union is leaning on her husband, Dwyane Wade, in the most tender way possible — and she wants people to understand exactly what it has looked like.

The actress, 53, opened up about her grief and her marriage at the 2026 Tiffany & Co. Blue Book Gala in New York on April 16, two weeks after the death of her father, Sylvester "_Cully_" Union Jr., at age 81. "_You know, my dad and my husband were very, very close,"_ she told People in the exclusive interview, per Yahoo News. "_I don't know, we just go through pictures and reminisce, and he's just physically there when I'm crumbling."_

Gabrielle's father had been living with dementia and was placed in memory care in 2023. He died on April 3, 2026, at the age of 81. In an Instagram tribute the actress shared after his death, she described the slow erosion that anyone who has loved someone with dementia would recognize.

"_No matter how much you think you know about dementia, nothing prepares you for the painfully slow disappearing of your loved one," she wrote_. "_First it's repeating words or forgetting little things here or there, then BOOM, he can't swallow or walk.The them that you know gets smaller and smaller. You hold out hope for sustained eye contact or a smile; even a hand squeeze can make you feel like they could come back to you 'normal' at any second. It's brutal and it's what he experienced, but it wasn't who he was."_

Cully, she said, was "_the life of the party_" and a lifelong Nebraska fan who loved music, traveling, and his extended family. Last October, Gabrielle celebrated his 81st birthday with a carousel of family photos featuring Wade, her sister Tracy Union, and other relatives gathered at his bedside. "_His eyes lit up when he saw me and_ _@dwyanewade standing at his bedside," she wrote. "He's still here and that's enough."_

Gabrielle has been candid about how the financial weight of caring for an elderly parent shaped her professional decisions in recent years. At the American Black Film Festival in June 2025, she said the costs of nursing care made her more strategic about which acting roles she accepted. "_You know, nursing homes, what's covered by insurance, what's not, home health aids — like that all adds up," she said. "Having to really be cognizant of an additional output, I have to go where the money goes."_

It is a layer of celebrity life rarely spoken about openly, and one that resonated widely with Black families who have walked the same road.
