The soccer star spoke to Entertainment Tonight about how he's "proud" of the decisions his longtime friend has made recently regarding his changing status as a royal and praised the duke's adjusting to life as a new father.

"I think he's enjoying being a young father for the first time and that's what we always spoke about," Beckham told ET. "When you are a parent, it changes everything for you."

"I haven't spoken to Harry about him moving. We speak as friends and that's the most important thing for me," Beckham told the outlet. "He always needs to be happy. [] We love him and he's an amazing personand that's the most important thingbut I'm proud to see him growing up as an individual and being that person that every father wants to be."

When Hailey Bieber's not working, she's most comfortable in sweats with a makeup-free face. She simply doesn't have the patience to get ready every day. The 23-year-old model has a lot going on, so she keeps her makeup routine under five products and her skincare routine even shorter. Her carefree approach to beauty and pared-down regimen have made her a beauty icon and earned her status as a bareMinerals clean beauty ambassador. Below, she shares advice on keeping a healthy state of mind, the reason she prefers gloss over lipstick on date night, and the scary-sounding beauty treatment she's obsessed with.

"I align with healthy, clean, minimalistic beauty. There are some girls that are so good at makeup, like my friend Kylie [Jenner]. She's very passionate about makeup and so good at it, which is why people really believe in her productsI would let her do my makeup for an event. Im nowhere near as good as she is with makeup, which is why I love bareMinerals productsfor its natural and effortless approach to beauty."

"The products I use for my five-minute-face are the Complexion Rescue Hydrating Foundation stick ($32)just in the places I need it; I use it more like a concealer. I finish off with a little bit of blush, eyebrow gel, mascara, and the Mineralist Hydra-Smoothing Lipstick ($20) in whatever shade Im feeling that day. Sometimes, I'll wear this lipstick and nothing else on my face. It kind of just depends on my mood."

"On date night with Justin I always go for a more natural look. It always gets kind of tricky with lipstick because if I want to kiss him, its annoying. And Im a big kisser, so I like to wear a little gloss for that. My go-to are the bareMinerals Gen Nude Buttercream Lip Glosses ($19). They smell great, feel great, and look greatI have one in every one of my purses, to be honest."

"Ive always been really comfortable about not wearing makeup in public. It gets harder when theres people taking your photo every dayit makes me feel a little more self-conscious and question if I should have thrown on a little mascara. But 90 percent of the time, if you see a paparazzi photo of me with sunglasses, its probably because Im not wearing makeup and Im just trying to chill. I dont have the patience to get ready every day. So, contrary to popular belief, most of the time Im not wearing makeup."

"My skincare is usually very simple. I stick to the bareMinerals Pureness Gel Cleanser ($22) because it has coconut oil in it and I love how it makes my skin glow. Then I use the SkinLongevity Vital Power Infusion Serum ($38)I love using this on the plane when my skin is dry. My last step is the SkinLongevity Vital Power Infusion Moisturizer ($38), which is really hydrating. Theres nothing too expensive. I might do a mask at night when Im just at home chilling, like the bareMinerals ClayMates Face Mask Duo ($35), which is a 2-in-1 for pure and dewy skin. I like the duality of how one mask can give you both benefits."

"I love to experiment and try new things. I've done facial cupping, acupuncture, microcurrent facials, and more. A treatment I do every couple of months is PRP [platelet rich plasma, a.k.a. a vampire facial]. Theyll take my blood and use the plasma then roll it into my skin. I leave the plasma on my skin for a day and then wash it off the next day. It gives me the most amazing, smooth glow. Im going to continue to do this foreverit's my preferred anti-aging method."

"I almost dyed my hair pink the other day. Im debating if Im going to... I actually might this week, I dont know. I think Im going to do it and then I don't do it last minute. Its really hard to upkeep pink hair. You have to keep dyeing it over and over again, and putting color on your hair all the time is a lot. When Im willing to keep up with it, I will. For hair products, I use a lot of Jen Atkins Line, Ouai. I swear by her dry shampooif you walked into my bathroom, a majority of my hair products are from her. I also love a lot of Unite Haircare products."

"Growing up dancing ballet helped me be more aware of how important it is to take care of your bodyand I mean everything in terms of stretching, going to the gym and getting stronger. I regularly visit a physical therapist and get massages to take care of my muscles. Its the glue that holds us together. My husband is very conscious of it, too, because he is a performer, which requires him to dance, jump around, and exert lots of energy, which is hard on his body. We connect a lot when it comes to our health and wellness routines. He helps me take care of my body and vice versawe've shared the same chiropractor and wellness experts for years"

"Hes taught me a lot about deep breathing because he has to be conscious of that for his voice. Our lives get so busy that we forget how important our breath is and the practice of intentional breathing."

You know that special feeling of emotional exhaustion you get after an hour at the toy store with an indecisive child? (Yes, Im a sucker.) Imagine that but for 15 hours, and you will know the simultaneous overwhelming and wonderful nature of New York Toy Fair. I spent a day and a half watching grown men and women play with the newest (and also oldest) toys out this year, and now I kind of want all of them.

Since I know that toy choice overwhelm is a thing for grownups too, I will spare you and save much of the fun intel I gathered to roll out throughout the year. But to get you prepared for what your kids might be begging for soon, heres a quick overview of the trends that toymakers are betting on for 2020.

Sorry, The Child, as I was kindly corrected multiple times over the past few days. Thanks to the Mandalorians secrecy, we still wont be able to own these toys for a bit longer, but they were adorable to behold, however briefly. In August, LEGO will release a BrickHeadz versions of the little guy, and in September theres an impressive kit for the Mandalorians ship, the Razor Crest, which does also include the Child and his foster dad.

Hasbros animatronic version of The Child doesnt come out until December, but hes already sold out. (It doesnt seem like the right pronoun for this, sorry!) I am ready to search out the black market. He is CUTE.

Well have a much shorter wait for Mattels plush version, which (who?) comes out in May. Pre-order him here.

Every time I have bought my kid one of his beloved L.O.L. Surprise! Dolls I have wanted to weep about the amount of wasteful packaging involved in creating that all-important unboxing experience. But now the surprise is for me, because MGA Entertainment, which makes L.O.L., announced last week that its taking steps toward being more sustainable. First, the company partnered with TerraCycle, so that now you can mail the packaging to be recycled for free. By this summer, the company said all L.O.L. accessory bags will be made of paper and degradable resin, and by next year all of the dolls packaging will be degradable.

MGAs Little Tikes brand is one of several looking for a more sustainable plastic option for little kids toys. Little Tikes new GoGreen line is all made of recycled plastic. Some of Mattels Mega Bloks are made of plant-based material now, with the goal of making the entire Bloks brand plant-based, recyclable, or made of 100 percent recycled material in the next 10 years. Thats already the case with Green Toys, the toddler brand made entirely of recycled plastic.

Toymakers are listening to all of that parental anxiety over our kids being too addicted to their screens but not so much that theyre tossing their digital content entirely. Instead, in nearly every booth I visited, there were toys that integrated an app, online game, or electronic gadget to go with the real-world product. There are Hot Wheels cars with chips to measure their speed, virtual reality goggles to help kids conduct science experiments and learn magic tricks (see: Professor Maxwells VR Science Lab), and an app for future engineers to make meticulous plans for their GraviTrax marble run.

I know blind boxes (those toys hidden in clever packaging until you buy them) are meant to encourage kids to collect all the toys, but they might serve another purpose too. Skip all the hemming and hawing at the store and buy one of these, sight unseen. My favorite surprises of the moment are the Blume Dolls, colorfully coiffed, spritely girls that pop out of a flower pot when you water them. In 2020, theyll be getting Blume Baby Pops and Petal Pets. Theres also Mattels deadly cute entry into the category, Cloudees, which invites kids to add water and create cloud fluff before they unveil their new tiny pets. My Little Pony is also in on the reveal magic.

For the kids who prefer slime and war to birth and flowers, this fall, Skyrocket toys will release Mutaters, alien-created bio-mechanical warrior figures housed in a containment unit that requires a decoder to unlock before you can play with the monstrous mutants inside.

Parental nostalgia will go on, too

How many kids do you know who are really excited about Scooby-Do, Back to the Future, or Ghostbusters? Not a lot. But their parents might want to share their childhood fandoms, which is the logic many toymakers are banking on.

I mean, I was very excited about the Playmobil Delorean and Mattels Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man, anyway. And after all, were the ones paying for these guys, right?

At Tuesday night's Democratic debate, billionaire presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg got a little too honest. Referring to the wave of newly elected congressional Democrats who flipped control of the House of Representatives in 2018, Bloomberg said, "Twenty-one of those were people that I spent $100 million to help elect. All of the new Democrats who came in, who put Nancy Pelosi in charge and gave the Congress the ability to control this presidency. I boughtI, I got them."

That one slip, "I bought," is probably not the message that Bloomberg wanted to convey. But it got a lot of people's attention, with both Justice Democrats, the progressive political action committee, and Donald Trump Jr. seizing on the comment.

One of those 21 Democrats whose campaign benefited from Bloomberg is Lucy McBath of Georgia's 6th district. McBath's 17-year-old son was murdered in 2012, after a white man started shooting at him and his friends because he thought their music was too loud. A group funded by Bloomberg, Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund, spent $1.25 million to help elect McBath in 2018, according to the Washington Post, helping her flip a historically Republican seat. McBath endorsed Bloomberg in the Democratic presidential primary.

Since the election, conservative groups have had their sights on McBath. In an interview in May of last year, National Rifle Association president Carolyn Meadows said that her stance on gun control "didnt have anything to do with [McBath's election]. It had to do with being a minority female." Meadows, who also led a group that opposed the construction of a Martin Luther King Jr. monument, later apologized.

And on Wednesday, Camille Gallo, the regional press secretary for the National Republican Congressional Committee, which works to elect Republicans to the House of Representatives, tweeted out that the NRCC was trolling McBath over Bloomberg's comments. To drive home that they believed her seat was bought and paid for, Gallo apparently sent McBath a "For Sale" sign with her name on it.

The optics of labeling a black woman from the south as "for sale" seems lost on Gallo, particularly on the day when the House passed the Emmett Till anti-lynching bill, but that's not surprising since the NRCC doesn't seem to have had much success working with black candidates. As the Pew Research Center reports, the 116th Congress is the most racially diverse in U.S. history, yet there are just two black RepublicansSouth Carolina's Tim Scott in the Senate and Texas's Will Hurd, who last year announced he didn't plan to seek reelection to the House.

McBath took the NRCC's trolling and turned it into a call for donations. On Twitter, she wrote, "These attacks began on day one. They harassed my elderly mother-in-law. The NRA said I only won bc Im a 'minority woman.' Each time, I did what I learned all too well after the death of my sonfight back."

The Bureaucratic Method

Inside the Federal Bureau Of Way Too Many Guns

There's no telling how many guns we have in Americaand when one gets used in a crime, no way for the cops to connect it to its owner. The only place the police can turn for help is a Kafkaesque agency in West Virginia, where, thanks to the gun lobby, computers are illegal and detective work is absurdly antiquated. On purpose. Thing is, the geniuses who work there are quietly inventing ways to do the impossible.

It's been years since Apple and Beats introduced the Powerbeats3, a $200 set of wireless headphones with ear hooks and a cable connecting the two earpieces together. Since then, Beats released the excellent, totally wireless Powerbeats Pro, but it looks like the company is readying a successor to the older model. A recent FCC filing for Apple shows off a paid of headphones that bears a striking resemblance to the Powerbeats 3, complete with a similar ear hook design and connecting cable.

Given that 9to5Mac discovered references to a "Powerbeats4" model in iOS 13 code back in December, it sounds like these new headphones will indeed be the successor to the Powerbeats3, which came out more than three years ago now. As for what might be new here, the Powerbeats 4 will probably include Apple's latest H1 chip and "Hey Siri" support, just like the Powerbeats Pro and the two current models of AirPods.

If history is any indication, these headphones will be priced at $200, $50 less than the Powerbeats Pro. But the Pro can often be found on sale for less than its $250 price point, so unless you prefer having a cable connecting your headphones, the Powerbeats Pro still might be the best option for most people. Of course, we'll have to wait until we hear them and find out more details, like battery life, before rendering final judgement. Given the FCC posting, we shouldn't have to wait too long to get the full details. We've reached out to apple to see if the company has any comment and will update this post if we hear anything.

Hailey Bieber is seemingly making green her color for 2020. Just last week, the model was spotted out and about in Los Angeles in a Kelly green vegan leather coat by Staud, capturing the cool, laid-back vibe of the coastal city. But now that she is in Paristhe reputed fashion capital, where she is presumably attending events surrounding Fashion Weekshe is bringing a posh, sultry sensibility to her ensembles.

Green in Pari, Bieber captioned on her Instagram account, followed by a heart emoji in the verdant hue. She was wearing a boxy emerald green blazer and matching mini skirt that both featured pronounced gold buttons by Natalie Ratabesi, a Los Angeles-based designer known for creating sleek looks coveted by industry insiders. The shiny hardware also mirrored the large chain handle of her Bottega Veneta Pouch bag, an accessory that has become a hot commodity amongst showgoers at fashion weeks across the globe.

Not so prevalent, but equally chic were the BV gold twisted triangle earrings that added an extra shimmer to Biebers look. And rounding all this together was a pair of leather over-knee-boots by Casadei.

Now that St. Patricks Day is a few weeks away, were definitely pinning Biebers outfit to our mood board.
