Today is a special day in the life of Harrison Butker.

The Kansas City Chiefs kicker spent his last year in his 20s, turning 30 on Monday.

The Kansas City Chiefs brought attention to their star kicker on social media by making a single post highlighting his special day.

“HBD to HB. Hope you have a good one, @buttkicker7!” they wrote about Harrison Butker.


Harrison Butker has become a decisive figure ever since his controversial Benedictine College commencement speech.

 

In May 2024, Butker made headlines for his remarks to the Catholic liberal arts college’s graduating class. During the speech, he criticized Pride Month, IVF, and the “most diabolical lies” the women graduates have been told.

He would add that he guessed a majority of the female students were “most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world.”

Earlier this year, Butker did not back down from his words.

“It was a surprise because I’d been saying similar things to that for many years now and it’s funny what stuff gets picked up,” Butker said, according to the Associated Press.

“I said what I said. I believe in it. I don’t feel the need to apologize for anything.”

He added, “I feel like God’s prepared me for that moment to feel confident in who I am and what’s most important in my life and I’m able to handle whatever comes my way.”

Joining Lorraine Kelly on Monday’s episode of the ITV show, the TV presenter, 43, also gave an health update after having two tumours removed from jaw.

Fearne announced her split from Jesse, the son of Rolling Stones bass guitarist Ronnie Wood, in December after 10 years of marriage.

She has since made swipes at Jesse and moved on with TV director Elliot Hegarty, with the pair having been seen kissing during a recent night out.

Fearne has had a difficult few months after undergoing surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawline, just days before her split with Jesse emerged.

She told host Lorraine: ‘It’s all very amicable and kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.’place.’

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’
