MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Aston Villa kept up its unlikely Premier League title challenge with a 2-0 win against Newcastle on Sunday.

Emiliano Buendia and Ollie Watkins scored in each half at St James' Park to move third-place Villa level on points with Manchester City in second on 46 points.

Buendia fired Villa ahead with a dipping shot from outside of the area in the 19th minute and Watkins doubled the lead in the 88th.

Villa has not won the title since 1981 and seven years ago was playing in the second tier Championship. But under coach Unai Emery, the Midlands club has been transformed.

And it is firmly in the race for the title after its 13th win in its last 16 league games. City is ahead of Villa on goal difference after a 2-0 win against last-place Wolves on Saturday.

Rosenior's Chelsea win again

Chelsea is also going in the right direction under new coach Liam Rosenior. Goals from Estevao, Joao Pedro and Enzo Fernandez sealed a 3-1 at Crystal Palace.

Rosenior has won four of his five games in charge in all competitions, with two of those coming in the league.

Forest eases relegation worries

At the bottom of the standings Nottingham Forest picked up a crucial 2-0 win at Brentford to reopen a five-point gap to the relegation zone.

West Ham's 3-1 win against Sunderland on Saturday saw the London club move to within two points of 17th-place Forest. But an unlikely win for Forest at high-flying Brentford boosted its survival chances.

Igor Jesus and Taiwo Awoniyi got the goals in each half for Sean Dyche's team.

Jarrett Stidham and his wife, Kennedy Stidham, are teammates for life.

The couple first met as student-athletes at Baylor University, where Kennedy played soccer and Jarrett was on the football team before he transferred to Auburn University. He proposed to Kennedy when she was a senior, and the pair got married in June 2019 — just months after Jarrett was drafted into the NFL by the New England Patriots.

Since then, the Stidhams have grown their family, welcoming three children: daughter Lennon in 2022, son Madden in 2024 and daughter Nella in 2025.

On the field, Jarrett's NFL journey has taken several turns. He was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders in 2022 before joining the Denver Broncos the following season. He now serves as the team's starting quarterback after Bo Nix suffered a season-ending injury on Jan. 17.

"Absolute whirlwind of emotions after the game last night," Kennedy wrote on her Instagram Stories following Nix's injury, per the New York Post. "Ultimately so proud of these boys & what they have accomplished so far. do it for 10!!!!"

So, who is Jarrett Stidham's wife? Here's everything to know about Kennedy Stidham and her relationship with the Broncos quarterback.

She's from Texas

Kennedy was raised by her parents, Tad and Janice Brown, in Kingwood, a suburb of Houston, per her soccer bio. She is the oldest of four siblings, growing up alongside her younger sisters, Addison, Nicolette and Chloe.

Sports have long been part of Kennedy's world. Her father serves as the CEO of Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment, which owns several major professional franchises, including the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers and the NHL's New Jersey Devils.

She and Jarrett met at Baylor University

Kennedy and Jarrett first crossed paths in 2015 while attending Baylor University in Waco, Texas. She played soccer, while he was on the football team. When Jarrett later transferred to Auburn University in Alabama, the couple navigated a long-distance relationship for two years.

Jarrett proposed on July 6, 2018, just ahead of Kennedy's senior year of college.

"The day i said YES to my forever. thank you jesus for the man of my absolute dreams!!!" Kennedy wrote on Instagram at the time, sharing photos from their engagement.

In a September 2023 video shared on her YouTube channel, Kennedy reflected on the early days of her relationship with Jarrett.

"I knew Jarrett was the one when I could sit in complete silence with him, and it didn't feel awkward," she said. "He's my best friend. When you know, you know."

They got married in 2019

The couple wed on June 29, 2019, at The Astorian in Houston, celebrating alongside hundreds of family members and friends.

"What a dream & what a gift it is to be married to you," Kennedy wrote on Instagram in honor of their first wedding anniversary in 2020. "You are hardworking, steadfast, humble & gracious (among many other things). I will always choose YOU."

More recently, they marked six years of marriage in June 2025. "One of a kind love," Kennedy wrote at the time. "Happy anniversary, I will never stop celebrating this beautiful life we have made for ourselves!!!!"

They share three children

The couple expanded their family two years later when they welcomed their first son, Madden Thaddeus, on March 17, 2024. Their younger daughter, Nella Jay, was born on Oct. 6, 2025.

Growing their family has long been part of the plan. Kennedy shared in her September 2023 vlog on her YouTube channel that the couple has always wanted a big family.

"I would love four," she added.

Kennedy has built a following as a lifestyle influencer, with more than 100,000 followers on Instagram and 20,000 subscribers on YouTube, where she regularly vlogs about motherhood and life as an NFL wife. Jarrett frequently appears in her videos, including sit-down Q&A chats the couple films together.

In June 2023, the pair candidly discussed the realities of marriage and parenting. "People say marriage is hard and having kids is really hard," Jarrett said. "Yes, they are both hard, but they are also the most rewarding things you do in life. To me, it gives your life more purpose."

A lightweight bout at UFC 324 on Saturday at Las Vegas was canceled because of irregular betting activity, CEO Dana White confirmed.

Alexander Hernandez was scheduled to fight Michael Johnson but the bout was pulled before the UFC 324 card began.

In November, UFC did not cancel a bout between Isaac Dulgarian and Yadier del Valle despite evidence of irregular betting activity, with Dulgarian losing as the heavy favorite. Dulgarian was later released by UFC.

"It happened again," White said late Saturday. "We got called from the gaming integrity service, and I said, 'I'm not doing this s--- again.' So we pulled the fight."

Olivia Wilde was brought to tears at the world premiere of her new film The Invite.

The Don't Worry Darling actor, who directs and stars in the dramatic comedy, got emotional on stage at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival on Saturday night when the audience gave the movie an enthusiastic standing ovation, an uncommon response at the festival.

The film, co-written by Rashida Jones, also stars Seth Rogen as Wilde's husband, along with Penelope Cruz and Edward Norton, who play their neighbors. Hilarity and tears ensue when Norton and Cruz's characters arrive for a dinner date and end up propositioning Wilde and Rogen for group sex.

"The standing ovation was very well deserved," festival director Kim Yutani told Wilde as she came on stage for a post-screening Q&A.

When asked about balancing the film's humor and dramatic tones, Wilde said, "I heard a wise person say you're never as vulnerable as when you're laughing. And I think that the great thing about this script was it allowed us to take people on that journey, to let them laugh, let them relax, and then just gut-punch them with divorce."

Rogen later revealed that Wilde initially wasn't interested in starring in the movie, but that he and Norton were able to talk her into it. "Once she decided to cast herself in this film, which she didn't seem to want to do, it really took off," he said.

"And I thought that we were able to especially create a dynamic that was, like, so crackling with energy and the rhythms that we had together," he continued. "It felt so alive. And as we were filming it, I remember just really feeling like we were just really cooking at times."

Norton went on to praise Wilde's ability to direct and act in the film simultaneously. "Seth and I are both people who have directed films that we've been acting in as well. And inevitably, you come to moments where you say, 'This was a terrible decision,'" he said with a laugh.

"It's hard for me to overstate the grace and wisdom with which Olivia gave that performance and directed us," he added. "She was operating in so many dimensions at the same time, and yet with not a shred of a sense that there was pressure created by any of that juggling act… I just was like, 'Where's the stress? Where's the difficulty?' She seemed to skate so lightly between all of it."
