CALIFORNIA FIRE: 62,000 People Have Fled Blaze

Bachelor Winter Games Fan Favorite Couples Courtney Dover & Lily McManus breakup


     Lily McManus and Courtney Dober have called it quits.The Bachelor Winter Games couple, who was loved by many fans, announced their split on Instagram Monday.

"Wish I didn't have to do this... Unfortunately it's the world we live in, so here it is," Dober, 31, captioned a video of one of he and McManus' first encounters on Winter Games.

"There's probably not many of you who'll understand this or even be able to relate, but Lily and i have chosen not to end our relationship but to continue it as mates," he wrote. "We're best friends and its become clear to both of us that the emotional side of our relationship just doesn't allow us to be the best versions of ourselves."

Dober added, "Perhaps in a world where there are no distractions, no life obstacles, nothing else mattered and looking into the future wasn't even a thought, things might be different... but that's not reality and we've decided that this is for the best."


Dober then went on to explain he chose to use the deleted Winter Games scene with McManus, 21, because it "captures us."

"In my eyes this was the moment our relationship began, 8 months, 2 weeks and 2 days ago," he said. "Man time flies... I love ya kid. At 21 I've never met someone who's lived so many lives, achieved so much and who's still so ambitious and ready to take over the world."

Dober concluded, "I've always lived under the motto -- 'Everything happens for a reason' and I have no doubt we were meant to meet."

McManus also addressed their breakup with a sweet message.

"Court is a bloody good man, every fiber of his being," wrote McManus, who appeared on Season 3 of The Bachelor New Zealand.

"He's good with his hands, he gets worried if I'm cold, puts together a solid peppermint tea, average joke teller, lives pretty well with a full force of caffeine addiction, doesn't mind being the little spoon, froths a peanut M&M, will talk s--- with me," McManus continued.

"It makes my eyes leak a little bit but myself and Court have decided to split on mutual terms. I love Court with every ounce of my being, that long limbed f--- will be a part of my life for a very long time," she said.

"You guys watched us fall in love and it was honestly just as magical as it looked in real life. I never thought I'd be the type of woman to fall in love on TV but now I am that bitch. I can already feel the 'love is dead' comments brewing but I can promise you guys it is 100% alive and well," McManus added."

In June, McManus and Dober celebrated their 6-month anniversary in Australia.

CALIFORNIA FIRE: 62,000 People Have Fled Blaze

  The evacuations have come amid a grueling heat wave, the coronavirus pandemic and air thick with smoke. The wildfires have burned through more than 350,000 acres. The wildfires that continued to rip across Northern California on Thursday have forced 62,000 people from their homes and threaten evacuations for 100,000 more. Firefighters have struggled to contain the blazes, and massive smoke clouds have harmed the air quality. A large group of fires burning in wine country west of Sacramento had grown to cover 131,000 acres, according to Cal Fire, the state’s fire authority. The agency said that, in all, nearly 350,000 acres have burned in Northern and Central California, with many fires sparked by lightning strikes in the high heat and then fanned by winds. Those conditions helped new fires sprout across the state on Wednesday and Thursday, and caused other fires to merge, complicating efforts to contain the combined blazes. Almost two dozen major fires were reported on Wednesday,...

Reopenings: “New Wide Release Movies Are Unlikely To Be Available”

In their latest statement, the association responds to several states’ plans to open theaters as early as next week. The White House’s plan to open the economy includes theaters under “Phase One,” meaning they would be allowed to open after the area in which they operate in satisfies  three qualifying criteria . In the days since the White House released its plan, Georgia governor Brian Kemp has stated that movie theaters in his state  could be allowed to open as early as next Monday, April 27  if they adhere to “specific social distancing and sanitation mandates.” Governors of Tennessee and South Carolina have also announced plans to allow non-essential businesses to reopen, though what this means for movie theaters specifically has not yet been clarified. As states begin to move towards reopening, NATO issued the following statement: While some states a...
