Here are key takeaways:
• Lauren Sanchez, who married Jeff Bezos over the summer, revealed on the “Today” show that she was diagnosed with dyslexia at age 19. “I hid it for a really long time,” said the Indian Creek Village resident, crediting a journalism professor at El Camino community college with pushing her to get tested.
• Sanchez is promoting her second children’s book, “The Fly Who Flew Under the Sea,” a glow-in-the-dark follow-up to 2024’s “Fly Who Flew to Space.” She said the picture-filled book is ideal for readers with dyslexia.
• Deborah Norville, 67, has started hosting “The Perfect Line,” a syndicated trivia game show weeknights on ABC Miami, after stepping away from “Inside Edition” last year following a 30-year run.
• Norville was the keynote speaker at a University of Miami breakfast celebrating Women United, a community of United Way Miami that has raised more than $56 million over 25 years for South Florida’s most vulnerable.
• Brooklyn Beckham, who turned 27 on Tuesday, hasn’t spoken to parents Victoria and David Beckham in weeks. When the couple posted birthday tributes on Instagram, a source told Entertainment Tonight that Brooklyn and wife Nicola Peltz were “disheartened” and called the posts “performative public actions.”
• The rift became public on Jan. 19, when Brooklyn posted on Instagram that he’d been “controlled” by the famous couple his entire life and was going no contact. Victoria and David, who recently sold their condo at One Museum Tower in Miami, are said to be “heartbroken.”
