ROME, June 2 (Reuters) - The European Union is likely to give a positive answer to Italy's ‌request for more flexibility on energy-related spending to ‌help households and businesses cope with high costs, Italian Foreign Minister ​Antonio Tajani said on Tuesday.

Tajani told daily Corriere della Sera that Rome's request was "absolutely legitimate", adding that such leeway could remain in place until market conditions stabilise, including ‌shipping flows through routes ⁠such as the Strait of Hormuz.

Italy, highly dependent on imported energy, has been among ⁠a group of countries pushing the EU to adapt fiscal rules to better address the economic impact of energy ​shocks.

"I do ​not believe the EU ​will fail to give ‌a positive answer. I am confident," said Tajani, who is also deputy prime minister.

Italy has asked the European Commission to grant member states the same fiscal leeway to face surging energy costs as is currently allowed for ‌defence spending.

In a letter to ​Commission President Ursula von der Leyen ​in May, Prime ​Minister Giorgia Meloni warned that Rome could ‌drop plans to tap the ​EU's SAFE defence ​scheme without such leeway.

Several Italian newspapers on Tuesday reported that an answer from Brussels could come as ​early as ‌Wednesday, on condition that flexibility will be used ​for investment and not on subsidies.

Unexpected stars Bella Vaughn, 16, and Hunter Johnson, 14, have broken up, she said in a TikTok.

The couple welcomed a son, Wesley, in March 2025.

Vaughn's mother said Vaughn and Johnson will co-parent.

Young parents Bella Vaughn and Hunter Johnson, stars of TLC's series Unexpected, have ended their engagement, 15 months after the birth of their son, Vaughn has confirmed.

"This is the video I have been asked to make a million times, and to finally address it. Yes, we did break up," she said in a recent post. "I won't go into detail why, but he lied to me and hurt my feelings, and, two days later, was talking to someone new. It was not a big deal, so. There was no drama, no tea behind it, it was not because Bubba's not his."

Vaughn, who's 16, and Johnson, 14, welcomed baby Wesley, who's nicknamed "Bubba," in March 2025.

Vaughn's mother, Falen, appeared alongside her in the video.

"We know that you guys have been asking for a while, and she was finally ready to address it, so here it is," she said. "They are going to co-parent and do what's best for Bubba."

Her daughter promised, "always," as Wesley fussed in the background.

Vaughn also asked her roughly 84,000 followers not to hold any grudges.

"Please don't go attacking anyone at all, including us, because it's fine," Vaughn said. "I am better off on my own."

The two were one of several couples featured in the seventh season of the show, which premiered in February.

In its official description, the network describes Unexpected as "a raw look at teenage pregnancies and the impact on their families."

The couple announced their wedding news just last month, following years of dating. She was 12 and he was 10 when they were first romantically linked, and she discovered she was pregnant the same year.

"From promise ring to engagement ring, I'll forever love you, Hunter Wesley, Vaughn wrote on social media, "and I can't wait to spend the rest of our lives together."

On the season finale, which aired last month, Falen said both parents had shown commitment.

"I was worried about how things were gonna turn out once Bubba arrived," the grandmother said. "But over the last year, Bella has matured and grown up, and Hunter has grown up a lot. He still hates school, but he does go."

Johnson's own mother, Stacie, also said he had matured.

"I have seen Hunter grow from literally a little boy-child who didn't really have a clue to a young man who's really learning how to do things and be a parent and learn how to show up and be there," she said.

Katie Austin is showing off her bump!

On May 30, the six-time Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, 32, turned heads as she strutted down the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Runway Show at Miami Swim Week — donning a green bikini and showing off her baby bump.

Ahead of the runway, Austin, who is six months pregnant, caught up with PEOPLE at the SI Swimsuit Beach Club Party, where she dished on her decision to walk the runway while expecting and how she was enjoying the weekend.

“I feel like every time I tell someone, they're shocked for some reason,” she said of her decision to walk the runway while pregnant. “I'm like, ‘Yeah, I'm walking.' And they're like, ‘You are?' I'm like, ‘Yes. This is not slowing me down.' So I feel great. I'm really excited.”

The influencer added that she spent the weekend “getting good night's sleep” and “enjoying my food.”

“I just feel a different energy this year,” she said. “It's going to be really special because I feel like I have a fun accessory to play with on the runway.”

Austin, the daughter of '80s fitness icon Denise Austin, shared that she was expecting her first baby with her husband Lane Armstrong on March 15, weeks ahead of their second wedding anniversary. She revealed the news with a maternity shoot on the beach, where her beau cradled her belly and held her hands.

“+ 1 🤍 we're so excited to be mom & dad!!!!" Katie captioned the post.

Speaking with PEOPLE before the runway, Katie admitted that, at this stage in her pregnancy, she was starting to “slow down.”

“I'm starting to feel myself being like, ‘Woo, we're getting there. Oh my God, my bump is getting bigger,' ” continued the model. “But I feel really good, the best I can probably feel. Can't complain.”

Earlier in May, before Swim Week, Katie shared with PEOPLE that one of the biggest differences walking the runway while pregnant was that she couldn't take her “annual tequila shot before the runway.”

“I'll be missing that," she laughed. "But it'll be good because I love the girls this year. I think this is our best group of girls yet. Their energy will help as well, and they're such a great team."

Katie also shared that she had to spend extra time practicing her strut: “I can nail a walk when I'm not pregnant, but I'm not sure how the belly is going to waddle.”

Nicholas Hoult gets an iconic piece of Lex Luthor wardrobe in Man of Tomorrow, the upcoming follow-up to Superman that's currently in production.

James Gunn, the co-head of DC Studios and the director of the 2027 event film, shared a look at his actor inside the villain's comics-accurate green war suit.

"Fit check," Gunn wrote alongside the image on his various social media platforms. "Live from the set of Man of Tomorrow."

When Gunn first announced the movie, which is set to open in theaters July 9 next year, he and Hoult shared imagery from DC Comics of Lex in the same suit. Now we're seeing it realized in live-action for the big screen.

Man of Tomorrow will return Hoult alongside David Corenswet's Superman as the heated adversaries are forced into an uneasy alliance to take on a much larger threat, Brainiac, played by Lars Eidinger (All the Light We Cannot See).

HONG KONG (AP) — Stock markets in Japan and South Korea hit fresh record highs Monday on enthusiasm over the artificial intelligence boom and as investors await a decision on the Iran war ceasefire extension.

Oil prices gained more than 2% as U.S.-Iran negotiations continued, including on the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway for global oil and natural gas transit.

U.S. futures edged higher.

Asian shares mostly advanced, and Japan’s and South Korea’s benchmarks hit records during intraday trading, led by technology-related stocks, as investors continued to see growth in AI and other advanced technologies.

Tokyo’s Nikkei 225 gained more than 1.3% and crossed the 67,000 mark for the first time, reaching 67,231.28. Shares of SoftBank Group, the investment company that focuses heavily on AI, rose more than 9% after hitting records last week.

In South Korea, the Kospi index jumped nearly 5% and hit an all-time high of 8,874.16. Samsung Electronics, its biggest company, was up more than 9%. Official data on Monday showed that South Korea’s exports surged 53% year-on-year in May, buoyed by global demand for semiconductors.

The Nikkei 225 was up more than 12% over the past month, while the Kospi soared over 27% during the same period.

Hong Kong’s Hang Seng was trading 0.9% higher at 25,408.96. The Shanghai Composite index edged down 0.1% to 4,063.72, after China reported over the weekend that factory activity in May softened with signs of slowing new exports demand.

Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 lost 0.1% at 8,720.30,.

Taiwan’s Taiex climbed 1.4%, while India's Sensex added 0.6%.

Three months after the Iran war began, uncertainties over a permanent end to the war are still driving market movements and keeping oil prices swinging, even as optimism on robust AI demand and strong corporate earnings have fueled a stock market rally including on Wall Street.

On Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump met with advisers in high-level talks but had not decided yet on a tentative plan to extend the Iran war ceasefire by 60 days, while Iran had said a deal was not finalized. The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz was also still in limbo. The strait has been largely closed and the U.S. has imposed a sea blockade on Iranian ports.

Brent crude oil, the international standard, rose 2.4% early Monday to $93.33 per barrel. It was approximately $70 a barrel in late February, before the start of the war.

Benchmark U.S. crude was 2.8% higher at $89.76 a barrel.

On Friday, Wall Street stocks reached more records powered by big technology stocks, with the benchmark S&P 500 adding 0.2% in its seventh straight gain to 7,580.06.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 0.7% to 51,032.46, while the technology-heavy Nasdaq composite gained 0.2% to 26,972.62.

Dell Technologies surged 32.8% following strong-than-expected results and after it raised its outlook on strong AI-related demand. Microsoft rose over 5.4%, while Broadcom was up 4.7%.

In other dealings, the U.S. dollar rose to 159.48 Japanese yen from 159.25 yen. The euro was trading at $1.1645, down from $1.1667.
