Zoe Kravitz and her husband, Karl Glusman have split after less than two years of marriage. Kravitz reportedly filed for divorce on December 23, according to court records obtained by the press. Glusman has since scrubbed all traces of their relationship from his Instagram account.
Meanwhile, Kravitz — who hasn’t publicly shared a photo of Glusman in months —posted a meme to her Instagram Stories over the weekend of a person dubbed “The Universe” taking out the trash, labeled with the text: “People places and things that no longer serve my greatest and highest good.” “MOOD,” the 32-year-old star captioned the image.
Before the split, all seemed good between Zoe Kravitz and her husband as recently as summer, with the former couple sharing loving social media posts to mark their first wedding anniversary.

Nigerian Singer, Paul Okoye of the defunct Psquare group has tested positive for COVID-19. Paul revealed this on Tuesday morning on his Instagram page. The singer further warned Nigerians to accept that coronavirus is real and obey all health guidelines. He wrote:
“ATTENTION!!! F*ck it !!! Covid is REAL !!! I know as typical Nigerian or African is very hard to believe, some will say “experience is the best teacher, oh well, the experience and the teacher has visited me and they’ve been dealing with me for more than 10days now, sh*t is not funny ….. worst sickness ever!!! …… y’all better be careful out there, if you like believe me, if you like don’t, believe me, you can as well wait for your own experience by playing ignorance Goodluck God help us all.”
Paul Okoye’s illness is coming a few months after his twin brother Peter and his family were affected by the novel virus.
3. South Africa: The second wave is overwhelming hospitals
As South Africa experiences harrowing death and infection rates, health experts have stated the government’s readiness for the second wave of COVID-19. The SA Medical Association (SAMA) said the country is less prepared than it was for the first wave. It said little effort has been made to boost staff complements at hospitals after large numbers of health-care workers succumbed to the coronavirus.
The media has also learned that despite being informed in September that an audit of 160 hospitals found that most required urgent upgrades to patient oxygen-supply systems, the government has done little to fix the problems. With infections skyrocketing, experts say a quick vaccine rollout is SA’s final defense. But this has been botched too, they say.
4. Ghana: Akufo-Addo takes second oath on Thursday
The stage is now set for the swearing-in and inauguration of the President-elect, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, with preparations towards the event, set to take place on the precincts of Parliament House.
The inauguration is without recourse and prejudice to the Supreme Court hearing of a petition against the President-elect filed by the presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2020 election, former President John Dramani Mahama.
The former President, who was a respondent in a similar petition in 2013, filed the petition at the Supreme Court on December 30, 2020, challenging the declaration of President Akufo-Addo as the winner of the December 7, 2020, presidential election.
5. Bayern Munich star Coman speaks out on Man Utd and Man City transfer rumors
Bayern Munich star Kingsley Coman has spoken out on the transfer rumors linking him with Manchester United and Manchester City. Coman has enjoyed a rapid rise to stardom since making his senior debut for Paris Saint-Germain back in 2013. Premier League giants United and City have both been credited with an interest in the winger in recent months, with the latter yet to bring in a long-term replacement for Leroy Sane – who completed a switch to the Allianz in July.
Coman is flattered to have appeared on the radar of the Manchester duo, but he has no intention of walking away from Bayern before the expiration of his current contract. “It’s good to know that good teams are interested in me, it gives me additional confidence,” the France international football player told the media.. “But I have a contract here until 2023, I’m just thinking of Bayern. It’s all good, I’m happy … ”
