Garmin reveals how to fix ‘blue triangle of death’ after mysterious glitch crashes people’s watches
A MYSTERIOUS glitch has bricked Garmin watches with a ‘blue triangle of death’ that stops users being able to track their exercise.
The issue causes watches to be frozen with only a blue glowing triangle present on a black screen.
Users cannot move away from this screen, or access their usual features.
“Exercise seems pretty pointless today with @GarminUK blue triangle of death,” one user wrote on Twitter.
“Apparently a software update caused lots of peoples’ to malfunction.”
Another added: “My Garmin Forerunner is about as useful as a brick at the moment.”
On Reddit, users were equally in uproar.
“It’s unacceptable that it started last night and I didn’t know until it happened to me at 10am today,” a user wrote.
“I could have avoided a factory reset entirely had they sent us a single email or even put a notification in the app, or in my morning report, or anything!”
A second Reddit user added: “This is textbook on how to ruin a company’s reputation and potentially lose thousands of customers.”
The issue appears to be affecting Garmin watch owners worldwide.
Customers believe a recent automatic software update prompted the glitch.
However, Garmin has yet to confirm the cause.
“We are aware of an issue causing some devices to be stuck on the start up screen or a blue triangle,” the company wrote in a warning banner on its website’s support page.
“To resolve this, press and hold the power button until the device turns off, then power it back on, and sync with the Garmin Connect app or Garmin Express.”
A simple switch off and on again seems to solve the problem, according to Garmin.
Although there are several users who say this doesn’t work.
If this doesn’t resolve the issue, Garmin has told users they will need to complete a factory reset of their watch.
A factory reset will delete all the data stored on the device, including Garmin Wallet data, apps, watch faces, body battery data, and some step count data.
Each Garmin watch has different instructions on how to complete a factory reset.
Garmin has laid out how to factory reset each device here.
The Sun has contacted Garmin for comment.
How Kate uses the traffic light walk to always appear ‘confident & approachable’, plus 5 other body language tricks
PRINCESS Kate is said to have a clever “hair trick” which she does in public to make looking perfect “look effortless”, according to a body language expert.
Judi James told Fabulous that the Princess of Wales, 43, subtly touches her hair before she greets someone for two key reasons.
The body language pro told Fabulous: “Her long flowing hair, her perma-smile and even her often-animated body language when she’s on a meet and greet, all give the impression of natural warmth and confidence.
“But, like any royals, she also needs to ensure her styling is storm-proof and her non-verbal rituals are camera-proof and that involves a series of clever tricks and techniques that ensure she is always creating the right impression.
“Kate doesn’t avoid touching her hair altogether and we’ll often see her perform one touch with one of her hands as she approaches hosts or members of the public when she’s on a visit.”
Judi shared how Kate’s hair touching has “two psychological functions.”
She explained: “Firstly, it is a trick of ingratiation to put people at their ease.
“The quick hair check will seem to signal that she’s the one checking she looks ok before she meets them, which will make her appear approachable and non-intimidating. It’s a micro status-lowerer that will make people feel more comfortable around her.
“The other function though will be as an intra-personal signal to herself.
“Kate will be about to meet with strangers and that creates a sense of fear.
“King Charles touches his cuff or pats his pocket at this point and William touches his waist or checks his tie.
“These self-touch rituals are calming for the person performing them as well as for the people they’re meeting.”
And it’s not the only body language trick Kate has up her sleeve, according to Judi.
1. ‘Pole position’ hand clasp
Judi shared how most women with long, thick hair do “a regular series of constant touch rituals like preening, stroking, tossing and even finger-combing that keep the hair constantly moving or used as an emotional prop.”
However, she added: “Kate’s royal role means a constant suppression of any non-verbal leakage, though, meaning she would need to avoid fiddling or playing with her hair to signal inner anxiety and a desire to self-comfort, plus her hair needs to look immaculate, and any touch would tend to spoil the curls or create a more dishevelled look.
The quick hair check will seem to signal that she’s the one checking she looks ok before she meets them, which will make her appear approachable and non-intimidating
Judi James
“From her first engagement interview, Kate adopted a ‘pole position’ with her hands, folding them lightly in her lap to help her avoid what might have been a constant urge to touch or flick her hair.
“Royal women had tended to either have shorter, neater cuts like Diana, or to pin it back or up like Fergie and Anne when they are out on the job, but Kate’s long tumbling hair has always looked like her non-negotiable and this trick with her hands has probably helped her to retain the look.”
2. Bag trick
Unlike the late Queen, Kate has always tended to carry a small clutch bag to royal events.
This gives her more options in terms of her body language and gestures than having a large bag hanging over one crooked arm.
Judi added: “She has the optional use of both hands if she shoved the purse under her upper arm and it minimises any impression of having a barrier, especially when she’s meeting children and, unlike the late Queen, she wants to kneel to their level and engage without any bag getting in the way.
“Kate did use even these small bags as barriers during her early days in the royal family, when she would often hold them in front of her torso with both hands to signal shyness, but she seems to have trained herself to use them less and less as a prop and now she is more often seen without any bag at all.
“This is a trick that allows her to project high levels of confidence and energy and to immerse herself more on visits”.
3. Tie-sign touches
Increasingly we are seeing Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis at royal events – and Kate has a key way of helping her kids in public.
Judi added: “Her trick is to deal with three lively, playful children and, without drilling them formally or constantly checking them in public, to ensure they are all in the right place at the right time doing the right thing but also enjoying themselves.
“Kate uses a series of small touches on both her children and her husband to check, steer, support, reassure and reward them in public.
“She might stroke Charlotte’s hair or touch Lois on the back and for William it can mean a range of gestures from a pat on the back, a hand on the thigh or even a small playful pat on the bum.
“These are all silent and emotional signals that help her family to move in a synchronised way.”
4. Traffic light technique
Kate tends to change her pace when she is on visits to give the impression of both keenness and caring.
Judi explained: “Royals used to arrive at events at a slower, more stately pace but Kate will now often walk quickly into a venue, making it look as though she can’t wait to meet her hosts.
“In a speed-reversal she will then slow down to ensure some non-superficial engagement with the public, like Christmas Day when she ignored William waiting for her and spent as long as she wanted chatting to the fans who had been waiting outside the church.”
5. Mirroring trick
Kate has a subtle way of showing her affection to husband Prince William during engagements.
She added: “Since she married William she has used industrial-strength (but also subtle) mirroring techniques with him to show like-minded thinking and to project deep love but without the use of PDAs.
“William’s concern for caution when it came to baring too much public emotion and attracting the kind of press and public interest his mother had, plus his role as future king meant he and Kate used very little in the way of touch or other love gestures in public.
“But their synchronised mirroring always expressed that love in a more subtle way.
Inside Prince William and Kate Middleton's relationship - in their words
AFTER years of dating, Prince William and Kate Middleton announced their engagement on November 16, 2010.
Prince William revealed in their interview with BBC that he knew from the start that Kate was different from other people.
He said in their engagement interview: “From my point of view, when I first met Kate, I knew there was something very special about her.”
When asked what drew them together, it turns out her “naughty sense of humour” was the tipping point.
He said: “She’s got a really naughty sense of humour, which really helps me because I’ve got a really dirty sense of humour so it was good fun, we had a really good laugh, and then things happened.”
And it appears that Prince William is a very caring partner towards Kate. Swoon.
She previously told Hello! how much of a gentleman William is, and said: “You know, over the years William has looked after me, he’s treated me very well — as the loving boyfriend he is, he is very supportive of me through the good times and also through the bad times.”
In April 2011, Prince William and Kate Middleton tied the knot at Westminster Abbey in a ceremony watched around the world by millions of fans.
Kate wore a spectacular Alexander McQueen dress and the smitten prince could be seen telling Kate: “You look beautiful” before the service began.
They may have an unconventional life, but when it comes to their relationship, it all boils down to having fun.
Prince William added: “Obviously we both have a very fun time together, both have a very good sense of humour about things, we’re down to earth, we take the mickey out of each other a lot, and she’s got plenty of habits that make me laugh that I tease her about.”
“Kate will also use mirroring to subtly influence people she’s meeting, which is a technique called Mirror – Pace – lead.
“She might help a shy child by bending to mirror their height or to speak with wider eyes to mimic them before slowly unfurling herself in terms of smiling and laughing so that they take her lead and begin to relax more.
“Like Diana, Kate also uses some subtle mirroring to create fast-track rapport with the public.”
Why can’t Man City’s new signings Marmoush, Khusanov and Reis play in their final Champions League game?
IF Manchester City are to progress through to the Champions League knockout stages, they will have to do it without their three new recruits.
The Eithad club welcomed Abdukodir Khusanov, Vitor Reis and Omar Marmoush for big money in the last week.
Marmoush had a massive impact on City in their 3-1 win against Chelsea and while Khusanov was at fault for the goal, he grew into the game.
However, the trio of £123million signings won’t be able to have any impact on the European stage despite being fit to feature.
Why can’t Man City’s new signings play in the Champions League?
According to Uefa rules, squads must be submitted before the League Phase begins and cannot be added to until the knockout stages.
City are allowed to add up to three new players into their Uefa squad if they progress into the knockout rounds, but it remains complicated.
The club must balance the homegrown quota – a minimum of eight “locally trained” players on their squad list with four from the club’s own youth system – with any new additions.
Will they be able to play if City qualify?
Uefa reminded clubs that its regulations, outlined in Article 32.02, allow additional registrations (beyond three) in specific scenarios for leagues that start and finish within the same calendar year:
- Four registrations: If more than five players from List A are no longer registered with their national federation as part of the club after the group stage, the team can add one additional player, increasing the total to four new eligible players.
- Five registrations: If more than seven players from List A are no longer part of the club under the same conditions, two additional players can be registered, raising the total to five.
Furthermore, Article 32.04 specifies that any or all players registered under these rules may have played for another team during the qualifying rounds, playoffs, or group stage of the Champions League, Europa League, or Conference League.
As it stands, City have exceed the limit with five locally trained players leaving just seven of the eight homegrown slots usable.
The stipulations may restrict how many January arrivals City could register with potentially leaving one or more out.
How Kate’s ‘difficult’ decision for George’s school could come down to security issue & it affects Louis & Charlotte too
ALL eyes are on where Prince George will be going to school next year, as Princess Kate has done numerous viewings of prospective locations.
While Princes William and Harry went to single-sex elite school Eton College, an expert has claimed that the Princess of Wales could be eyeing up a co-ed school for George, 11.
Editor-in-Chief of Majesty Magazine told Fabulous: “I think he will probably go to a co-ed where all three of them can be educated together, because also that cuts hugely down the security bill.
“I think Kate and William are very conscious of how much it costs the taxpayer to guard them – guard not being the exact word – but to kind of give them the security which they absolutely have to have.
“To have three different schools in three different parts of the country, I think would be very difficult.”
The royal expert pointed out that Harry and William always went to school together, and said: “I feel very sure that this is what Kate and William will want to do.”
She added that she thinks the Prince and Princess of Wales will be looking for a “very rounded education for Prince George”, when he moves school at 13.
Ingrid explained: “He’s had a lot of formality in his young life, and I think they would probably want him to be certainly co-ed, I would think, and just somewhere where he’s free.”
The royal editor also predicted that William and Kate might send Prince George, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six, to boarding school.
She added: “Boarding schools nowadays aren’t like one imagines the boarding schools of old.
“They can come home whenever they want to. They can come home weekends if they’re not too busy playing sports.
“But all the sports, the big sports, matches and things happen at weekends, so I imagine that, if Kate wants them to come home they could come home on Saturday afternoon.
“I think it’s very much more flexible than the idea of these very strict sort of Tom Brown School Days.”
Ingrid’s prediction was that Marlborough College, where Kate and siblings James and Pippa, went to school, could be an “obvious choice” for the kids.
Alternatively, if they do select single sex for George, Eton could be a front-runner.
She added: “I think Eton could potentially be in the running. It’s very near to Adelaide Cottage, although they may not stay there.”
Kate’s secret school tours
Ahead of the big move from Lambrook School, Princess Kate looked round two prospective elite London schools in December.
One was single sex and one co-ed, suggesting the family are still keeping both options open.
The Princess of Wales first toured round the £10,000-a-term, “boldly academic”, single sex University College School (UCS) in Hampstead after term ended for the festive break.
The same week, Kate looked round co-ed Highgate School, located two miles away, which was closed for a “special VIP visitor”, according to the Mail.
Other options for George are said to be Oundle School in Northamptonshire and the elite St Edward’s School, also known as “Teddies” – which boasts Oppenheimer actress Florence Pugh as an alumna.
Despite Kate touring schools over 18 months in advance, Ingrid shared how the Wales family don’t need to make a rushed decision yet.
She explained: “It’s not like it would be you or me trying to get a child into a school, and we have to put their name down at birth.
“No one is going to say no to having Prince George in their school, so they don’t actually have to make up their mind until they’re absolutely sure.”
Will Prince George go to a state school?
ROYAL pros have discussed the possibility of Prince George ditching an education at Eton College for time at a state school.
Speaking to royal reporter Bronte Coy on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive, royal experts Richard Palmer and Katie Nicholl spoke about the significant decision looming for Princess Kate and Prince William in regards to Prince George’s schooling.
Katie acknowledged the Waleses’ desire to shake things up, as she claimed: “I think the big question is, is it going to be Eton and following in tradition and obviously George going to an all boys’ school, or will they break the tradition and go to a co-ed?
“I don’t think they’re at logger heads and I’m not dressing this up as a row, but it’s a big decision they’ve got to make.
“They’ve been around to see the schools and I guess at some point we will know what they’ve chosen to do.”
Meanwhile, Richard Palmer chimed in: “Personally, I think it’s a great shame that our future head of State doesn’t actually go to a state school.
“And I think it would be fantastic if that were to happen.
“I think Katie’s right, it’s second nature for people of their social background to send their kids away, clearly if George is at Eton they’re just around the corner, but I think what tends to happen is that the kids themselves don’t want to be going from home every day because they’re not then really at the heart of the school community.
“You want to be a boarder, so I’m guessing all of the kids will end up boarding, even if they go to schools very close.”
5 reasons why Love Island’s Harriett SHOULDN’T take back Ronnie as expert begs her to ‘re-evaluate her standards’
IF Love Island’s Harriett thinks her ex-boyfriend Ronnie is her only option, ‘it’s time she re-evaluated her standards’, a relationship guru has claimed.
Ronnie Vint left All Stars fans gasping after his declaration of love to Harriett Blackmore in last night’s episode.
It follows after recent episodes, where viewers watched the 24-year-old brunette bombshell confidently arrive during the show’s iconic kissing challenge – and, as expected, turned Ronnie’s head instantly, when he marked her passionate snog a solid 10 out of 10.
It ended his two-week romance with TOWIE’s Elma Pazar, 32, on the spot as he confessed he was “in love” with his ex and wanted to win her back.
And whilst Harriett claimed she wouldn’t be kissing him all series as he tenderly caressed her legs on the day bed, just one episode later, the pair puckered up for a romantic smooch in the secret garden.
It’s after Harriett was pied by Ron Hall who she picked, apparently, to keep Ronnie, who sent her roses for Christmas – signing off the card “love you” – on his toes.
But now, after the pair confessed their “love” for each other and expressed their desire to couple up, a Dating and Relationship Coach has set the record straight on why getting back with her ex might not be the best idea for Harriett.
It comes after fans were left begging Harriett not to take back her ex after last night’s show, as one wrote: “Harriett should not immediately let Ronnie in her world… He doesn’t deserve it.”
Meanwhile, another voiced: “Harriett needs to wake up and smell the coffee. Please girl f him off.”
Now, Kate Mansfield tells Fabulous: “I’ve been following the drama with Harriett from Love Island, who’s considering rekindling things with Ronnie.
“Let’s break down why this might not be the best move for her (or for anyone, really).”
Thanks to Kate, here are five reasons why you should think twice before diving back into an old romance – so if your ex-fella is sliding into your DMs, you’ll need to take notes.
1. Old Patterns Resurface
According to Kate, when you rekindle with an ex, you often fall back into the same patterns that led to the break-up in the first place.
Kate asks: “If Ronnie and Harriett had issues before, what’s changed?
“History tends to repeat itself, and it’s easy to slip back into habits that aren’t healthy, or are toxic and will ultimately waste your time or prevent you from moving on to someone new.”
2. The Illusion of Change
Not only this, but this dating expert claimed that whilst it’s tempting to believe that time apart has magically transformed someone, this often isn’t the case.
“Unless there’s been genuine personal growth and change, chances are you’ll be facing the same challenges.
Signs your relationship is heading for a divorce
- Persistent Communication Breakdowns
Constant misunderstandings, arguments, or a complete lack of meaningful conversation can signal deep-seated issues. - Emotional Distance
Feeling like roommates rather than partners, with a noticeable lack of intimacy or emotional connection. - Frequent Criticism and Contempt
Regularly criticising each other and showing contempt, such as sarcasm, eye-rolling, or mocking, can erode the relationship’s foundation. - Unresolved Conflicts
Recurrent arguments about the same issues without any resolution can indicate deeper incompatibilities. - Loss of Trust
Trust is crucial in any relationship. If it’s been broken and cannot be rebuilt, it may be a sign that the relationship is in trouble. - Different Life Goals
Significant differences in future aspirations, such as career goals, lifestyle choices, or family planning, can create insurmountable divides. - Avoidance
Preferring to spend time apart rather than together, whether through work, hobbies, or social activities, can indicate a desire to escape the relationship. - Lack of Support
Feeling unsupported, whether emotionally, financially, or practically, can lead to feelings of isolation and resentment. - Financial Disagreements
Constantly arguing about money, spending habits, or financial priorities can strain the relationship. - Infidelity
Whether physical or emotional, infidelity can be a major breach of trust and a sign of deeper issues in the relationship. - Changes in Affection
A noticeable decrease in affection, physical touch, or romantic gestures can indicate a loss of connection.
“Harriett needs to consider whether Ronnie has actually worked on himself or if it’s just wishful thinking,” Kate stresses.
3. Emotional Rollercoaster
In addition to this, Kate recognises that rekindling a relationship can lead to an emotional rollercoaster.
Kate explains: “The highs might feel amazing, but the lows can be just as intense.
“Harriett should ask herself if she’s ready to navigate those ups and downs again, especially if the relationship was tumultuous before.”
4. You Deserve Better
If that wasn’t enough, according to Kate, it’s important that singletons remember that everyone is deserving of a relationship that brings joy and stability, not one filled with uncertainty.
Kate continues: “If Harriett thinks Ronnie is her only option, it’s time to reevaluate her standards. There are plenty of people out there who can offer her the love and respect she deserves.
Harriett should prioritise her growth and happiness rather than revisiting what may have been a temporary high
Kate Mansfield
“Feelings for your ex can keep you from seeing what is available to you and I am actually a huge fan of no contact for at least 60 days after a break up.
“Once you go cold turkey for this long, you will start to fully move on and heal from them properly.”
5. Focus on Personal Growth
Finally, getting back with an ex is not always the best plan of action, as according to Kate, it can distract you from your own personal development.
Subsequently, instead of moving forward, if you rekindle things with an old flame, you may find yourself stuck in the past.
Kate recommends: “Harriett should prioritise her growth and happiness rather than revisiting what may have been a temporary high.
“Beware of the ‘staying friends’ trap. It will keep you in a holding pattern and over-giving your precious time and attention to someone who can’t reciprocate, or doesn’t deserve your love.”
To which Kate concludes: “While the idea of reuniting with an ex can be tempting, it’s crucial to weigh the potential risks.
“Harriett, and anyone considering this path, should take a step back and really think about what they want and deserve.
“True love is out there, but not always with the person you think that you want in the moment – trust that sometimes what you want and what you really need are not the same thing.”
Things to Consider Before Giving Your Ex Another Chance
Not only this, but Kate also shares the four things you must consider before getting back with an ex-partner.
She recognises that getting back with an ex can be daunting – and for all good reasons.
Relationships in numbers: The most common way to meet someone
YouGov looked into how Brits find love, and your best bet is at work or through friends according to the data.
- Through work – 18%
- Through friends – 18%
- While out and about – 15%
- Other – 11%
- Online dating platform – 7%
- University or higher education – 6%
- Dating app – 6%
- School – 5%
- Shared hobby – 5%
- Family – 3%
- Face to face at an event – 0%
As a result, she reveals the key considerations that should guide your decision-making process – from assessing attachment styles, to establishing clear boundaries.
Examine Past Patterns
Before making any decisions and getting back with an ex, Kate stresses the importance of taking a step back and reflecting on the patterns that characterised your relationship in the first place.
She questions: “Were there recurring issues that led to your initial separation?
“Understanding these patterns can help you assess whether the underlying dynamics have truly changed or if you might be setting yourselves up for the same challenges again.
“Talk this through together and make tangible agreements about the key areas of conflict such as time together, finances or whatever these things were about with specific goals that you can measure to track progress and share accountability.”
Assess Attachment Styles
As well as this, recognising your attachment styles before rekindling with an ex is also vital.
Kate asks: “Are you both secure, or is one of you anxious or avoidant? These styles influence how you connect and communicate.
“Understanding these elements can provide insight into how compatible you are moving forward.
“If one partner is anxious and the other avoidant, for instance, this dynamic might lead to misunderstandings and frustration. Have some coaching or therapy together to learn more about this.”
Consider Love Languages
And it’s not just attachment styles exes should consider – as according to Kate, considering how love languages play a significant role in relationship satisfaction is also equally as crucial.
“If your primary ways of expressing and receiving love differ, it could create friction in your reunion.
If you each want very different things then accept that no amount of love is going to paper over these cracks
Kate Mansfield
“Ensure that you both understand and can accommodate each other’s love languages.
“This understanding can enhance emotional connection and prevent miscommunication,” Kate claims.
Establish Clear Boundaries
In addition to this, before letting your guard down and entering into another relationship with a past lover, Kate recognises the importance of setting clear boundaries right from the start.
She recommends: “Discuss each other’s expectations and what you need from one another moving forward.
“Boundaries foster a sense of safety and respect, reducing the likelihood of repeating past mistakes.Get clear with yourself first about your life goals, values and priorities.
“If you each want very different things then accept that no amount of love is going to paper over these cracks.”
The dark story of YouTubers Myka and James Stauffer who ‘re-homed’ their autistic, adopted son and then vanished
WITHIN a few minutes of sitting down in front of the camera, Myka and James Stauffer’s entire influencer empire collapsed when they revealed they had “re-homed” their autistic, adopted son.
The Stauffers were “family vloggers”, filming and uploading the mundane parts of their lives with their four children, Kova, Jaka, Radley and Onyx, to YouTube for 700,000 subscribers to watch.
But in May 2020, the couple shared a video explaining their reasons for finding a new home for their son Huxley, who they had adopted from China three years prior.
The couple was cancelled immediately and then disappeared from public life.
The uproar has now been revisited in an HBO docuseries called An Update on Our Family, which explores what really happened and includes clips from Myka’s now-deleted YouTube videos.
Between 2016 and 2020, Myka and James documented the journey of welcoming Huxley into their family – including choosing him, raising money, and filming the day he arrived.
According to NBC News, the Stauffers used a GoFundMe page to raise money to pay for Huxley’s adoption from China. The couple reportedly earned $800, while they said the adoption cost them $42,000.
In a YouTube video posted before the adoption, the couple said they were aware of Huxley’s autism diagnosis, and said they were willing to learn how to parent a child with special needs.
Myka added: “I don’t know what his medical diagnosis is gonna look like. How much schooling will he need? Will he need a little bit more hands on? Will he be delayed?
The mother told her subscribers they “would love” him “no matter what state” he came to them in and then strongly stated: “If anything, my child is not returnable.”
Their inspiring adoption story brought them a new era of success, with their adoption video of Huxley being watched by more than five million people.
And this was just the beginning; personal moments such as Huxley’s first Christmas, bonding with new siblings, and family days out, were shared online for the world to see.
Internet sleuths got suspicious
The Stauffers were a family who provided daily updates about their life and Huxley, so when the updates stopped, their followers noticed.
Huxley no longer appeared in new social media posts, and the influencers’ channel was flooded with comments asking where he was.
According to Time.com, armchair detectives had even gone to James’ car-themed YouTube channel, “Stauffer Garage,” where they noticed Huxley’s car seat was no longer visible.
They shared this revelation in the comments section and then realised that anyone asking about Huxley’s car seat or his whereabouts, had their comments deleted.
Then, Myka and James changed their videos with the toddler from public to private so any content featuring Huxley was no longer viewable by the public.
It was only a month later that Myka and James confirmed their adoption of Huxley was dissolved.
“Re-homing” Huxley
After months of speculation, Myka and James confessed in a video uploaded to their YouTube channel in May 2020, to “re-homing” Huxley.
Looking into the camera, James said: “With international adoption, sometimes there are unknowns and things that are not transparent on files.
“Once Huxley came home, there was a lot more special needs that we weren’t aware of, and that we were not told.”
The father explained how “hard” it was to “hear from the medical professionals”, adding “a lot of their feedback” was “upsetting”.
“We never wanted to be in this position. And we’ve been trying to get his needs met and help him out as much as possible … we truly love him,” James remarked.
The mother of four stressed how much she loved Huxley; they just realised they couldn’t meet his needs.
She continued through tears: “There’s not an ounce of our body that doesn’t love Huxley with all of our being.
“There wasn’t a minute that I didn’t try our hardest and I think what [James] is trying to say is that after multiple assessments, after multiple evaluations, numerous medical professionals have felt that he needed a different fit [for] his medical needs. He needed more.”
The influencer said “the last couple months have been the hardest thing [she] could have ever imagined”, adding she felt “like a failure”.
The video ended with the couple sharing an emotional plea for fans to have “grace” with them whilst they navigate the future.
Myka concluded: “We are still struggling. We are going to be heartbroken for a very long time.”
The couple’s lawyers, Thomas Taneff and Taylor Sayers, told PEOPLE: “We are privy to this case and given the facts at hand, we feel this was the best decision for Huxley.
“In coming to know our clients we know they are a loving family and are very caring parents that would do anything for their children.”
An investigation launches
In June 2020, Ohio authorities launched an investigation into the well-being of both Huxley and the couple’s four biological children.
The Delaware County Sheriff’s Office said it received “several enquiries regarding the welfare” of the then-four-year-old, and in a statement to The Independent, a spokesperson said their “primary concern [was] for the well-being of this child as well as the other children in the household”.
One month later, the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office announced that it would not be filing charges against the Stauffers.
The Stauffer’s final say…
Myka published a lengthy statement on her Instagram account on June 24, 2020, and has not been heard from since.
Myka's Instagram statement in full
Posted to her Instagram account @mykastauffer on June 24, 2020.
I want to first off apologize for the uproar and take full responsibility for all of the hurt that I have caused. This decision has caused so many people heart break and I am sorry for letting down so many women that looked up to me as a mother. I’m sorry for the confusion, and pain I have caused, and I am sorry for not being able to tell more of my story from the beginning. I could never have anticipated the incidents which occurred on a private level to ever have happened, and I was trying my best to navigate the hardest thing I have ever been through. I apologize for being so naive when I started the adoption process, I was not selective or fully equipped or prepared. I received one day of watching at home online video training and getting my Hague adoption certification which was required by my accredited adoption agency. For me, I needed more training. I can’t say I wish this never happened because I’m still so glad Huxley is here and getting all of the help he needs. I also know that even though he is happier in his new home and doing better that he still experienced trauma. I wanted to help so bad I was willing to bring home any child that needed me. For this I was naive, foolish and arrogant. I wish so bad I would have been more prepared and done more. I wish the decision to disrupt never had to be made. Adoption and all special needs are amazing and I have a ton of respect for every adoptee, adoption parent, and special needs parent. I look up to you in a million ways. And I’m sorry for hurting the community in any way. Lastly to debunk a couple complete rumors, we did not adopt a child to gain wealth. While we did receive a small portion of money from videos featuring Huxley and his journey, every penny and much more went back into his care. Getting Huxley the care and services he needed was very expensive and we made sure he got every service, and resource we could possibly find. Secondly, we are not under any type of investigation. I’m hoping to share more from my side of the story soon. And lastly I’m so sorry for letting you down. I also want to mention that moms need a safe place to ask for help when they are struggling. No questions asked. We love Huxley and know that this was the right decision for him and his future. Praying that Huxley only has the best future in the entire world.
It’s not known if the couple are still together since their 2020 controversy – neither have posted on personal social media pages since June 2020.
The YouTube channel they ran is no longer public, but James’ ‘Stauffer Garage’ channel with 1.3 million followers is still active and regularly posts new videos.
Where is Huxley now?
In their final video, Myka explained the adoption agency had helped place Huxley with his “forever family”.
According to reports, authorities confirmed the child – who has been renamed and lives his life in private – was “happy” in his new home, even admitting the young boy was quick to call his new mother “momma”.
Myka added: “He’s thriving, he’s doing really well, and his new mommy has medical, professional training.”
Watch the moment Ekin-Su realises her ‘plan isn’t working’ after most popular All Stars villa girl was revealed
EKIN-SU Culculoglu’s face appeared to betray her real feelings when the most popular Love Island contestants were announced in last night’s show.
The public voted for their favourite All Stars and host Maya Jama delivered the results ahead of a brutal dumping.
Elma Pazar and Luca Bish were crowned top girl and boy in front of their co-stars – though with that honour came a great responsibility.
They were tasked with eliminating three of the four lowest-scoring Islanders – eventually choosing Kaz Crossley, Montel McKenzie and Nas Majeed, while Tina Stinnes lived to love another day.
Many villa viewers have accused former winner Ekin-Su of playing a game ever since she arrived.
Her relationship with Curtis Pritchard has been called a “showmance”, while eyebrows have been raised over her constant meddling in other people’s drama.
When Elma was selected as the most popular girl, viewers sensed Ekin’s smile was fake and that she was actually surprised not to be chosen.
One person commented on X: “Ekin-Su just realised her plan ain’t working.”
Another said: “Ekin-Su in everyone business trying to position herself for the win. Nothing more.”
A third posted: “How was Ekin-Su not one of the least favourite girls?? I cannot stand her!!!”
Though three Islanders have departed, another two have arrived.
Sammy Root, who won series 10 with Jess Harding, and 2017 girl Danielle Sellers both made their entrance.
During his time in the villa, Sammy had a fling with Elma and an insider thinks they could build on that previous attraction.
A source said: “Elma has said the attraction with Sammy was nothing more than flirtation, as she’s conscious they have an age gap of nearly 10 years, but Love Island execs hope that under the South African sun, love could bloom.””
