NYC Singles Take a Swing at Love During US Open New

NYC Singles Take a Swing at Love During US Open

As the world’s finest Grand Slammers face off at the US Open this year, with the likes of players Carlos Alcaraz and Alex Zverev securing nail-biting wins, New York City singles are flocking to the Arthur Ashe Stadium in hopes of catching the action — and netting a romantic catch. Love, much like those little fluorescent yellow balls that fly around tennis courts, can land anywhere. So sports fans on the prowl are spending anywhere between $23 and $739 for admission into the three-week championship series, happening now through September 13, where hotties and hobbyists abound.Rosello, like hundreds of love hopefuls, is interested in meeting her match during the 2026 US Open tennis tournament. Courtesy Alyssa RoselloMaking the trek to Flushing Meadows-Corona Park for the fête is costly, yet worthwhile for folks ready to ditch dismal dating apps and finally find the one. Local lover girls, like Dee Vel-Baque, 33, kicked their searches for significant others into high gear at the 2026 FIFA World Cup games this summer. And city sweeties Danielle Kuchinskas and Alex Frawley punctuated their love story as NBA baller Jalen Brunson led the Knicks to a historic victory in June. Alyssa Rosello, a Manhattan single, is hoping The Open serves up similar success. “It’ll be great to meet someone when I go to a match next week. Sports are a great way to meet people, especially as a girl,” the 5-foot-10 brunette, a product manager, told The Post. Like US Open greats, Gael Monfils and Elina Svitolina, single tennis lovers of the city are eager to take a swing at love. AFP via Getty ImagesWhile the lifelong tennis enthusiast plans to have her head in the game as the professional athletes duke it out, she’ll have her eye on the crowd, scoping the scene for a tall, dark and handsome hunk who shares her passion for the pastime. “To find someone attractive, kind and funny that also loves watching and playing tennis would be amazing,” said Rosello, who’s open to meeting Mr. Right on platforms such as Hinge and Raya, but optimistic for an in-person meet-cute. “We can watch and play tennis together. One of my dreams is to go to Wimbledon and the French Open,” she gushed. “It’d be so fun to travel with someone that is also interested in that. Having a common interest is super important.”The Manhattaner, who played tennis from childhood through college, says she’d love to land a fella who’s a fellow tennis lover. Courtesy Alyssa RoselloSharing a love of sports, specifically tennis, isn’t just super important in today’s dating world. It’s also a major thread that’s stitching lonely hearts together, per surprising new data. Researchers for Feeld, a dating app for open-minded individuals, recently determined that tennis buffs generate roughly 45% more meaningful connections than fans of other major sports. More titillating, the findings also revealed higher rates in kink-forward desires, such as role play, edging, exploration and domination, in rascals with a fondness for the rackets. Feeld study authors found that tennis players over-index in kinky proclivities, owing, in part, to an inclination toward intellectual stimulation. AFP via Getty ImagesBut Justin Lehmiller, a social psychologist and Kinsey Institute fellow, assured The Post that tennis isn’t some tawdry aphrodisiac. Instead, it’s an intellectual stimulant that keeps sharp-wits on their toes — and, if they’re lucky and consenting, their backs.  “Tennis, itself, isn’t necessarily making people kinkier…[but] those who are interested in tennis over-index on intellectual games like backgammon and chess,” explained Lehmiller, an Intimacy Advisor at Feeld, noting statistics from the study.Lehmiller tells The Post, “When you have a shared love of sports, that can make it a lot easier to form connections with like- minded people.” Courtesy of Dr. Justin Lehmiller“That suggests that we might be looking at a group of people who are particularly drawn to mental stimulation, strategy and maybe even a little friendly competition,” he said. “When you’re really into a given sport, that tends to create a lot of emotion and excitement.““If you’re watching that sport with someone else who has that same level of engagement, it can lead to an intense and memorable experience.”Katie, a confidence coach based in Chelsea, agrees. Tennis aficionados tend to have higher desires for saucy sexplay, according to the Feeld report. Nina/peopleimages.com – stock.adobe.comThe Gothamite, 27, who chose to withhold her last name for privacy, issued a friendly call-to-action to the single ladies of NYC in a viral vid, beckoning gals to the US Open stands for the optimal chance to snag a man. “There’s such beauty in meeting [a potential partner] out in the wild, especially at an event like The Open. People are like showing up, they’re looking cute, excited, drinking a Honey Deuce — it makes people more open to connecting,” said Katie, who’s currently off-the-market, but always on the lookout for her unattached pals. Here’s the latest on the 2026 US Open: Madison Keys implodes in third set for shocking US Open loss to Qinwen Zheng Amanda Anisimova handed early exit in stunning US Open upset following 2025 underdog run NYC singles take big swing at love during US Open: ‘Sports are a great way to meet people’ US Open now serving $23 pre-mixed Honey Deuces on tap — but sippers call it deuce abuse The US Open is going to be a bigger party than ever — complete with marijuana delivery on demand She even spotted a suitable suitor for her best friend during Wednesday’s daytime sessions, when the likes of Jessica Pegula, Ben Shelton and Daniil Medvedev each secured victories.Unfortunately, Katie wasn’t able to close a deal on the romantic match. “I saw a lot of groups of guys letting loose and having fun,” she said. “But the guy that would have been great for my friend wasn’t single.” But the wannabe Cupid isn’t giving up hope. “Right now, people are craving that like in-real-life excitement that comes with making face-to-face connections,” said Katie. “And what better place to chat, laugh and high-five over something cool, like Ben Shelton winning, than the US Open?”“You don’t get that on an app.”

Amanda Kloots’ Heartfelt Tribute: The Ring Redesign Sparking Conversations New

Amanda Kloots’ Heartfelt Tribute: The Ring Redesign Sparking Conversations

Amanda Kloots is showing off her redesigned engagement ring — and reminding mourners that there's no timeline to grief — following her late husband Nick Cordero’s 2020 death. “You don’t have to stop wearing your engagement ring just because you took it off and years have gone by,” Kloots, 44, said in a video shared via Instagram on Friday, September 4, before showing off  the customized ring. “Guys, I took my engagement ring off after, like, about a year and it was sitting in my jewelry box collecting dust until one day I was just like, ‘I want to wear my ring again.’” She continued, “I contacted the jeweler, Stephanie Gottlieb, and we co-created a new design for my engagement ring into a ring that I can wear every single day. You can, at any time, take this piece of jewelry and recreate it into something that is still so meaningful.” Cordero died in July 2020 from complications related to COVID-19. Months prior, Cordero was admitted into Los Angeles’ Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and diagnosed with pneumonia before testing positive for coronavirus at the height of the pandemic. He spent over 90 days in the hospital before his death. He was 41. The pair, who shared son Elvis, were married for two years prior to his death. https://www.instagram.com/reel/Dc4pTN_u04x/?igsi=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D “My diamond was a heart-shaped diamond, we put it in a bigger heart — my heart is always in his — and it’s a ring now that I wear on this finger all the time,” Kloots continued of her redesigned engagement ring on Friday. “And it’s so special, still so special, and I love it so much.” Kloots’ candid video was accompanied by a substantial caption, encouraging those who are healing from a loss to take their time and decide what is best for them instead of attempting to adhere to someone else's journey. “After celebrating my wedding anniversary yesterday, it got me thinking that I should reshare what I decided to do with my engagement ring,” she captioned the post. “These questions after loss can sometimes be the hardest to answer. How long do I wear my ring? When should I take it off? Can I keep wearing it? What should I do with it now?” She continued, “The short answer is: YOU DO YOU! There are no rules when it comes to grief, and you need to do whatever feels right and makes YOU happy. Four years after loss, I decided to redesign my engagement ring into something I could wear and love every day instead of keeping it tucked away in a box. I am SO glad I made this decision.” In July, Kloots marked six years since her late husband’s untimely death. “Today marks six years since Nick passed away,” she wrote via Instagram on July 5. “If you knew him, you were lucky. If you didn’t and you’ve been following me, hopefully you have an idea of what a magnificent human being he was. Everyone loved him. He loved everyone. He truly lived life to the fullest, although it was cut short at just 41 years old. His face graced stages and screens, and his voice could be shrill like rock and roll or smooth like Frank Sinatra. He taught me to slow down. To listen to music. To be curious. To believe in myself.” She added at the time, “I know it might seem weird to say, but even though he is gone from this earth, I almost feel more connected to him spiritually now. It has made me believe that we don’t have to say goodbye. We don’t have to stop talking to the people we love. We don’t have to close the chapter. It may look different, yes, but I feel closer to him now, six years after his death. He sends me signs almost daily. I ask him for them, he responds and I talk right back! Nick was always up in your business if you were his good friend or family, so it does make sense that he’s still up in mine.”

Bruce Campbell's Brave Stand After Cancer Diagnosis Shocks Fans New

Bruce Campbell's Brave Stand After Cancer Diagnosis Shocks Fans

Evil Dead star Bruce Campbell is sharing a somber health update after revealing his recent cancer diagnosis. “I’m in a five-year prognosis,” the horror movie icon, 68, shared on the Wednesday, September 2, episode of “The Adam Carolla Show” podcast. “With the type of cancer that I have, which I don’t want to get into, the current thing is a five-year deal.” When host Adam Carolla asked the actor if that meant he only has “five years to live,” the star responded in the affirmative. “Give or take,” he said. In March, Campbell revealed he has been diagnosed with an undisclosed type of cancer. “Hi folks, these days, when someone is having a health issue, it’s referred to as an ‘opportunity,’ so let’s go with that — I’m having one of those,” he wrote via X at the time. “It’s also called a type of cancer that is ‘treatable’ not ‘curable.’” The Army of Darkness star admitted that his diagnosis was a “shock” before adding that he only decided to share his prognosis publicly due to his various upcoming public appearances. “I’m posting this, because professionally, a few things will have to change — appearances and cons and work in general need to take a back seat to treatment,” he continued at the time. “My plan is to get as well as I possibly can over the summer so that I can tour with my new movie Ernie & Emma this fall.” He added, “Regrets on my part. Treatment needs and professional obligations don’t always go hand-in-hand.” Campbell is the star and director of Ernie & Emma, while his wife, Ida Gearon, serves as a producer. The road-trip comedy follows a widowed pear salesman who goes on an adventure to scatter his wife’s ashes. Ernie & Emma premiered last month in Medford, Oregon, where the project was filmed, with a wider release scheduled for the fall. “Fear not, I am a tough old son-of-a-bitch and I have great support, so I expect to be around a while,” the actor concluded back in March. “As always, you’re the greatest fans in the world and I hope to see you soon!” During his Wednesday podcast appearance, Campbell reiterated that when it comes to his cancer diagnosis, he has decided “pretty specifically” to “live with it, not die from it.” “Cancer is all the rage, but I’ve said plenty and I need to get back to the business of living,” he wrote via X on Saturday, September 5.

Why This Teen's Asymmetrical Workout Has Everyone Talking New

Why This Teen's Asymmetrical Workout Has Everyone Talking

A man has revealed before-and-after photos after training just one trap for over 200 days. While most gymgoers aim for balance and symmetry, one 19-year-old content creator has purposely pushed his physique in the opposite direction. A content creator who goes by the handle @TheCrookedMan10 spent more than 200 days training only his left trapezius muscle. The bizarre experiment has left him with a large and extremely noticeable imbalance between the two sides of his body, and his before-and-after images show just how much his left trapezius has developed. He's deliberately trying to become more asymmetrical While bigger traps can change a person's physique, the teen isn't interested in developing both sides equally. Instead, he describes what he's doing as "looksminimizing," an intentional effort to make his appearance more asymmetrical. The idea is framed as the opposite of " looksmaxxing ," a trend that encourages young men to change their appearance through potentially dangerous methods. One well-known person taking part in that trend is Clavicular , a controversial streamer who has been open about using steroids and other extreme practices in pursuit of his appearance. TheCrookedMan10 describes what he's doing as "looksminimizing," an intentional attempt to make his appearance more asymmetrical - this is the opposite of what looksmaxxing influencer Clavicular does. Credit: @clavicular0 / Instagram Man explains why he only trains one trap In a video shared on his platform, the 19-year-old explained to his 152K followers why he tried this unusual training experiment. "Why does the one trap guy work out one trap? It's pretty simple. I was scrolling TikToks in my Ferrari, and I kept getting these looksmaxxing TikToks," the Crooked Man said. "They were like, 'Do this, do that. You'll look more attractive. You'll get more women.' And it's like, people have that problem? I have the opposite problem. I get so many DMs, I don't even have time to get through them all." "'So I thought, 'If I have the opposite problem, then I need the opposite solution.' What's the opposite of looksmaxxing? Looksminimizing. What was the best way to looksminimize? Become more asymmetrical." "Work out one trap, it solved my problem. And man, it has worked like a charm,'" he added. Safe to say that a lot of people were still confused by his explanation and warned that he could face long-term damage if he continues. "The problems you will face later in life will not be worth it," one person said. "Even your jaw and face are uneven. You're causing problems for the rest of your life," another pointed out. A third advised: "Your literaly taking a breath every sentence I don't think you should keep going." "Anything for views," a fourth slammed. "I really hope that he knows the risk of what he's doing... I suspect at that age they may not appreciate the long term health risk. It's a bit sad really," one user on Reddit added. More than 200 days spent developing one trap apparently weren’t enough for the Crooked Man, as he has extended his experiment to another part of his body: one of his glutes , and is now training one of his legs. Earlier this week, he shared a video captioned: "Day 4 training one leg," showing himself working out his right leg while holding two weights. Featured image credit: Mike Harrington/Getty

US-Canada Tensions Rise as DOJ Halts Antitrust Cooperation New

US-Canada Tensions Rise as DOJ Halts Antitrust Cooperation

The US Justice Department’s antitrust division was directed earlier this week to pause all work with the Canadian government as the trade dispute between the neighboring nations intensifies, according to a report.The chief of the antitrust division’s international section, Lynda Marshall, ordered officials on Wednesday to halt all cooperation on cases and engagement on policy issues with Canadian authorities, without providing a reason for the directive, according to emails obtained by The Wall Street Journal.Section chiefs in the antitrust division were also instructed in another email on Friday to provide lists outlining areas of cooperation with Canada by the end of the day, according to the newspaper.The DOJ disputed the report, saying in a statement that the “alleged direction was never given to anyone.”The division was asked to “temporarily hold off on a scheduled meeting on a specific investigation until the DOJ’s antitrust team had more time to prepare,” the department said.President Donald Trump speaks with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on June 16, 2026. The two leaders have been in a trade war, leading to the DOJ freezing antitrust work with Canada.

REUTERSLynda Marshal, the DOJ’s Chief of the antitrust division’s international section, ordered officials to halt all cooperation on cases and engagement on policy issues with Canadian authorities. DOJThis comes as the US and Canada, which have been close allies for decades, continue to spar over President Donald Trump’s trade war against Ottawa and subsequent targeting of the US’s northern neighbor, which most recently included the president’s executive order to rename Lake Ontario to “Lake America.”Although the renaming only applies to the US federal government, while Canada, other international bodies and US states are not forced to follow the rebranding, the order adds to the ongoing tensions between the two countries that arose following Trump’s return to the White House in January 2025.The trade war has led to tariffs on tens of billions of dollars in cross-border trade.The Canadian government said it would impose retaliatory tariffs on the US beginning Sept. 8 in response to the Trump administration’s new 50% tariffs on about $20 billion worth of Canadian goods, which took effect last month.Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada “will match Washington’s new tariffs dollar for dollar in order to protect Canadian workers, farmers, families, and businesses.”

Camila Cabello's Surprise Appearance at Ed Sheeran's Concert Has Fans Talking

Ed Sheeran brought all the stops to MetLife Stadium on his Loop Tour — including a special surprise duet with Camila Cabello. Sheeran, 35, performed at the New Jersey venue on Friday, September 4, in which he sang “Bam Bam” with Cabello, 29. (The former Fifth Harmony singer teamed up with the Grammy nominee for the track in 2022. They also collaborated on 2019’s “South of the Border.”) Just ahead of the performance, Sheeran gushed about his decade-long friendship with Cabello. “It's rare to form strong and real friendships, and I've been friends with this person for over a decade,” he said on Friday during the show, which Us attended. “She was in New York, we saw each other earlier today, and I said, 'We should sing together.' It's one of my favorite songs, I can't wait to perform it.” Cabello, dressed in a white cardigan and green sequined shirt, concluded the number with a shout-out to her pal, gushing, “I love you.” Sheeran, who will play MetLife for a second night on Saturday, September 5, and Cabello have previously been candid about their enduring friendship and frequent collaborations. “I'm such a huge Ed Sheeran fan, when he first asked me to work with him on ‘South Of The Border,’ I was like, ‘Uh yea, duh,’” the “Havana” singer gushed to Australia’s The Music in 2022. “Even though we're friends, he’s such a top-tier artist and I didn't know if he would say yes to being on my project.” https://www.instagram.com/p/Dc5HYNIN2c2/ “Bam Bam” appears on Cabello’s 2022 album, Familia. “I’ve gone over to his world before, and for ‘Bam Bam’ he was coming to my world, into the studios with my collaborators that I worked with on this album, and singing in Spanish on a song that I had written the chorus for,” she recalled to the outlet. “It was just really cool, and I was honoured that he wanted to be a part of it.” She continued, “When he came into the studio, he had an idea for the verse, and even though I had a version of the song I was attached to, I trusted him and trusted his ear, and it turns out he was right and made it a million times better!” Cabello last released her C, XOXO (Magic City Edition) record in 2024. Sheeran, for his part, dropped Play in 2025 before embarking on his latest tour ahead of a hiatus. “I might take some time off once this tour has ended, and do the dad thing,” he said during a June concert in Arizona, referring to his two daughters with wife Cherry Seaborn.

Why Brittany Gibbons' Year of Daily Intimacy is Still Making Waves New

Why Brittany Gibbons' Year of Daily Intimacy is Still Making Waves

A woman who had sex with her husband every single day for a whole year has opened up about how it's affected their sex life three years on from the challenge. While intimacy can be an exciting part of the start of a relationship, for most couples the frequency tends to slow down in a long-term relationship, particularly if the stresses of life take over. There's no right or wrong answer to how often a couple should have sex - it's completely down to whatever works for the individuals - but the amount of people having sex every day of the year is probably not that high. Brittany Gibbons and her husband Andy trialled a whole year of having sex every day, which she initiated to find her old self after having a third child. She explained to Women's Health : "Shortly after having my third child, I remember getting out of the shower, catching a glimpse of myself in the mirror, and wondering, 'Who let my mum in here?' "From that point on, I didn't let myself be naked. I kept the lights off during sex, hid my stomach and boobs inside a camisole, and I waited for my husband to leave the bedroom before barreling from the shower to my closet to get dressed." She revealed that the idea to have sex every day was sparked by a friend who'd done the same, adding: "Having sex every day for a year seemed obnoxious, but also an intriguing way to force myself into facing my body each day. I mean eventually, the covers would have to come off and the lights would have to stay on, right? "Andy, as expected, was on board. And for a whole year, save for being parted by travel or the stomach flu, we had sex with each other." Brittany admitted it still took some time to get used to the idea, when she initially found it a bit of a chore and would have preferred some alone time to unwind amongst the many stresses of everyday life. But as the months went on, she found she began to look forward to the daily intimacy, explaining: "We were more romantic with each other, touching arms as we passed, kissing longer before work and not just the cold familiar peck. Our relationship was stronger and better when our intimacy was flourishing." Sex is a personal thing. Credit: eclipse_images / Getty Images She also found that it worked wonders for her body confidence as she was no longer as conscious of it as she had been in the past. Brittany shared an update three years after the experiment, revealing that while she no longer has sex with Andy every day, many of the benefits had continued. "First, we learned that it's hard and that's normal. The majority of people around you are not having sex every single day. They're busy being stressed at work, coordinating their kids' football schedules and paying bills," she explaine. "Fitting sex into all of that is difficult, but for us, it's necessary. Sex is what reminds us that we're intimate partners and not just roommates in charge of keeping kids alive." It also helped them to learn how much sex they need to keep them both happy in their marriage, explaining: "I no longer freak out if two weeks pass and we forget to have sex, because we work to connect in other ways. "Intimacy doesn't always mean penetration. Sometimes it's making out on the couch like teenagers. We all get to decide what turns us on. The point is, the effort to show love to each other is there." The main takeaway was that Brittany finally felt connected to and comfortable in her own skin again, explaining: "It was never about anyone wanting me, it was about me wanting myself. And it only took an entire year of getting laid to figure that out." Featured image credit: eclipse_images / Getty Images

Lindsay Clancy supporters are flooding a fundraising page after her high-profile murder trial ended with a hung jury after an intense week of deliberations.A GoFundMe page set up for Clancy’s parents, dubbed “The Musgrove family fund,” has raised over $1.1 million and counting – edging closer to the whopping $3 million target.Lindsay and Patrick Clancy pose with their children Cora, 6, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, in the fall of 2022.

Patrick Clancy Speaks Out as Mistrial Shakes High-Profile Case New

Patrick Clancy Speaks Out as Mistrial Shakes High-Profile Case

Patrick Clancy and his legal team are reacting to a judge’s decision to declare a mistrial in his ex-wife Lindsay Clancy’s murder case. “Patrick Clancy is grateful to the Court and to the jurors for their hard work, their commitment and their perseverance,” Patrick’s attorney David Meier said in a statement to CBS News on Friday, September 4. “The loss of Patrick’s children is something from which he will never recover and from which there will never be closure.” The statement continued, “The prospect of reliving this tragedy through another trial is extraordinarily painful — for Patrick, for his family and for all of us.” Earlier in the day, a judge declared a mistrial following a nearly six-week trial for the murder of the former couple’s three children: Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months. Jurors deliberated for nearly seven days, but ultimately could not reach a unanimous decision and were deadlocked 11-1. Lindsay previously admitted to fatally strangling her three kids in January 2023 before an apparent suicide attempt, which left her paralyzed from the waist down. Her defense team has argued that she had been suffering from postpartum psychosis and bipolar disorder before and at the time of the killings, claiming she was not able to differentiate right from wrong and therefore should not be held criminally responsible for her children’s deaths. On Friday, Lindsay’s attorney Kevin Reddington was asked about his client’s ex-husband. “I think, Patrick, you heard the 911 call; I think you can judge his credibility by that 911 call,” Reddington told reporters via NBC News. “I don’t know what is in Patrick’s mind when he testified, and the jury was able to evaluate him.” When asked about rumors and speculation on social media that have falsely accused Patrick of murder, Reddington replied, “Regarding the people on the internet, I certainly don’t dismiss them. It’s amazing how they’re able to figure out facts, and they do investigations; it’s just truly amazing. This whole concept of the internet, it really is.” Patrick, who has not been accused or charged with a crime involving his children, was one of the first individuals to testify during the trial. He described the day he found his wife after she jumped out of a second-story window of their home. “She killed the kids!” he yelled in a 911 call played for the jury. As prosecutors decide whether to move forward with another trial, Lindsay’s defense team is sharing their perspective on the high-profile murder case. “Well, obviously this is not a time for gloating or bragging, expressing victory. It’s a very sad case,” Reddington told reporters on Friday amid a deadlocked 11-1 jury. “[Plymouth County District Attorney Tim] Cruz knows that he was crushed, that he doesn’t have a case, he doesn’t have to stand here and say that he’s advocating on behalf of the victims and then look down to see what their names are.” Reddington continued, “I’m representing a woman who is a fantastic, wonderful individual. This woman is so brave; so awesome. Every day she came into this courthouse, stood tall — no pun intended, the poor thing is in a wheelchair as we all know for the rest of her life — sat there through seven weeks of a trial where nobody had anything bad to say about her except for the two prosecutors and apparently Tim Cruz.” After court, Cruz tried to remind the public about the three children lost in a terrible situation. “In the end, I bring it all back to the child victims in this case, Cora, Dawson, and Callan. This was, and it has always been, about getting justice for those three little babies,” he told reporters. “We’re here at this courthouse today because those children are not. Children were murdered and it’s our job to seek justice.” If you or someone you know is pregnant or just had a baby and is in crisis, help is available.

NYC Widower's Plea: Was Wife's Death a Hate Crime?

NYC Widower's Plea: Was Wife's Death a Hate Crime?

More than three months after his wife was mowed down in a shocking hit-and-run crash, a Jewish Queens man is searching for answers — and wants the accused killer charged with an antisemitic hate crime.Michael Trager, 70, and his 71-year-old wife, Cara, both members of the Hollis Hills Jewish community, were walking to a neighborhood restaurant after watching a movie on Memorial Day — when tragedy struck.A motorist going 75 mph in a 35 mph zone rammed into two other vehicles, sending one of the cars into the couple and mortally wounding Cara, who died days later.Michael Trager, 70, holds a photo of himself and his wife Cara, who was killed in a crash on Memorial Day. Stephen Yang for NY PostTrager didn’t “get the chance to say goodbye.” Facebook/Cara Trager“Physically I’m lucky to be alive,” the victim’s distraught widower said in a recent sit-down interview. “Mentally, honestly, I had a really wonderful marriage and it’s very hard to lose somebody that you really loved.“Am I not dead?” Trager told The Post. “It makes you think and for the first time in 47 years, I’m alone and that’s not the way I wanted things to go out for her, for sure. 
Because you don’t get the chance to say goodbye.“And the fact that she died in this way is unbelievable,” he said. “Because you couldn’t be any more pro-Jewish than she was.”Trager said that detail is relevant because accused killer driver Dawood Faisal, 22, who is now being held on Rikers Island on manslaughter and other charges, had allegedly vandalized a Jewish bagel shop in the neighborhood twice in the weeks before the fatal crash.The grieving widower believes those alleged crimes and the fact that it was a known Jewish neighborhood, raise troubling questions about the suspect’s motive. “What I am alleging was that he was in a Jewish area, a very heavy Jewish,” he said. “And though he did not necessarily try to kill Cara Trager or injure Michael Trager or kill Michael Trager for that matter, it was a good likelihood that if he was gonna do that activity, it’s going to be more than likely hurt a Jewish person.”The Tragers spent May 25 watching the 1946 war romance film “The Best Years Of Our Lives” at home, then decided to go out for a bite to eat, with Cara suggesting they walk to the eatery.They were strolling on Union Parkway when they were both hit, police said.According to a report by National Review, Faisal had been doing doughnuts on the intersection of Francis Lewis Boulevard in his 2013 Toyota Prius when he ran a red light and hit the car that struck the Tragers.Michael Trager holds a photo from his wedding day on Tuesday. Trager’s wife, Cara, was killed on Memorial Day. Stephen Yang for NY Post“The next thing  I know she’s dead and I’m hit by the same car,” Trager said.Police said Faisal tried to run but was held by bystanders until cops arrived and busted him.On July 31, cops hit Faisal with additional charges of criminal mischief for allegedly trashing Bagels & Co., a Jewish-owned shop in Queens that displayed Israeli flags and banners — including one May 23 incident, just two days before the crash.Trager said he had an “excellent” meeting with Phylisa Wisdom, the executive director of the Mayor’s Office to Combat Antisemitism, adding that, “She seemed very sympathetic to what I was saying.”But he said he also wants to sit down with Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who has been chided for anti-Israeli statements in the past, to urge him to speak out against antisemitism.“I want to see that he cares … I want to see that my fellow Jews can live safely and peacefully in a city,” Trager said. Michael Trager, 70. His wife, Cara, was hit and killed in Queens on Memorial Day. Stephen Yang for NY Post“I want him to be the mayor of all the people, whether he agrees with them or not. I want everyone to feel that they matter.”Trager said he understands it would be difficult to investigate a hate crime motive and potentially bring such charges in his wife’s slaying. 
“I’m sad. Very sad,” he told The Post. “It’s not helpful to be angry, ’cause I can’t change things the way they are.“But I can try to attempt to make sure that these incidents are few and far between,” he said, “and we have a mayor and other government leaders that are doing their best to make sure in their best efforts that these incidents don’t happen again.”— Additional reporting by Joe Marino

Julia Stiles' Heartfelt Anniversary Tribute That Everyone's Talking About

Julia Stiles' Heartfelt Anniversary Tribute That Everyone's Talking About

Julia Stiles and her husband, Preston Cook, are still blissfully in love after 12 years together. “Taking a breath to wish my main man, my lurve, a Happy Anniversary,” Stiles, 45, wrote via Instagram on Friday, September 4, sharing a throwback wedding photo with Cook. “Grateful you are not on social media (Somehow you’ll hear about this).” Stiles and Cook began dating in 2014 after meeting on the set of Blackway. The couple, who got married three years later, have since welcomed three children together. While the Save the Last Dance star and Cook often keep their family life private, she recently embarked on a new professional move. Earlier this week, Stiles was announced as one of the contestants on Dancing With the Stars season 35. “Thank you for holding down the fort while I live my dance dream, and being cool with my [Ezra Sosa] obsession,” the actress added in her Friday tribute to Cook, also referring to her pro dance partner. “I love love love you. Miss you already ❤️❤️.” Sosa, 25, has since been preparing Stiles for the DWTS season premiere later this month. “This is my chance to free myself from [Save the Last Dance] and just enjoy the experience and learn something new with an amazing partner at the top of his game,” Stiles exclusively told Us on Wednesday, September 2. “It’s a dream, a total dream." While Stiles portrayed an aspiring ballet dancer with aspirations of attending the Juilliard School in the 2001 flick, she stressed that the film doesn’t give her a leg up in the ballroom. “It did not prepare me for Dancing With the Stars,” she stated. “First of all, I have not gone to a dance class. I stopped taking dance classes after that movie because I was so self-conscious. I can see how tense I was in that movie.” She continued, “I’m so grateful for all the opportunities that came from that movie but I am not a professional dancer. I just played pretend.” Stiles is a longtime fan of the ballroom competition and appeared overjoyed to learn from Sosa. “I’m so excited,” she gushed in social media footage shared earlier this week, jumping into Sosa’s arms during their first rehearsal. As for Sosa, he simply noted that he was “gagged” to pair up with the 10 Things I Hate About You star. Dancing With the Stars season 35 kicks off with a two-night premiere on ABC and Disney+ Tuesday, September 15, and Wednesday, September 16, at 8 p.m. ET.
