COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Denmark's foreign minister and his centrist party are expected to decide who will lead theScandinavian country's next governmentafterTuesday's parliamentary electionsended without a clear majority for any party or bloc.

APTOPIX Denmark Election

Center-left Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen could survive for a third term, despite a disappointing result. But she will need to negotiate a deal with the kingmaker, Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, if she is to lead a new coalition.

"The Danes have spoken. They have given us a playing field that, to put it mildly, is a bit tricky to handle when it comes to forming a government," Frederiksen said Wednesday. "But a government must be formed. The world out there doesn't wait for us, and it has only become even more unsettled than when the election was called."

The campaign focused on bread-and-butter issues rather than the crisis over U.S. PresidentDonald Trump'sambitions towardGreenland.

The outgoing government resigned Wednesday. Leaders from each party debated their positions in a roundtable setting and met withDanish King Frederik Xto discuss the country's future.

Denmark's single-chamber parliament, the Folketing, is elected for a four-year term. Lawmakers from Denmark hold 175 of its seats, while two each go to representatives from thinly populated Greenland and the kingdom's other semiautonomous territory, the Faroe Islands.

More than 4.3 million people were eligible to vote in a country of 6 million people. Nearly 84% of the electorate cast their ballots.

Here's what to know:

No party won a majority

Official results showed that Frederiksen's center-left Social Democrats lost ground compared with the last election in 2022, as did her two partners in the outgoing government.

No single party won a majority in parliament, which was expected. Denmark's system of proportional representation typically produces coalition governments, traditionally made up of several parties from either the "red bloc" on the left or the "blue bloc" on the right, after weeks of negotiations.

Frederiksen's outgoing administration was the first in decades to straddle the left-right divide, and she said she is ready to stay on as prime minister for a third term. Her Social Democrats remained the biggest single party by some distance but Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen, the best-placed center-right challenger to Frederiksen, made clear that he and his Liberal party don't intend to go into government with the Social Democrats again.

Still, Danish election expert Rune Stubager believes Frederiksen will survive as prime minister.

"Whether it will be in a new centrist coalition or a government based mostly on votes from the red bloc, that is up to the negotiations," Stubager, who co-heads the Danish National Election Study, said Wednesday.

The 48-year-old Frederiksen is known for strongsupport of Ukrainein its defense against Russia's invasion and for a restrictive approach to migration — continuing what has become a tradition in Danish politics.

The 'kingmaker' decides the next steps

Because neither the left-leaning nor right-leaning blocs won a majority, Løkke Rasmussen is now in the role of kingmaker. His centrist Moderate party, with 14 lawmakers in the 179-seat parliament, is in a position to determine whether Frederiksen can serve a third term at the helm of the European Union and NATO country. It takes 90 seats to form a majority.

Løkke Rasmussen called on rivals on the left and right to climb down from some of the positions they staked out in the campaign, and "come and play with us."

Neither of the blocs are able to form a majority without the support of the Moderates, making them the only real winner of the election.

"I offered the other day — and it remains our position — to take responsibility for sitting down with parties on both sides of the political center line to see whether a political platform can be created, on which a government agreement could then subsequently be established," Løkke Rasmussen said Wednesday.

Stubager said they should be able to force concessions from each party's campaign promises to reach their goal — a centrist government.

"As far as I can see it, it's not possible to form a government if all these tripwires are intact," Stubager said. "So somebody will have to go back on a promise in order for there to be a government."

Greenland gave the foreign minister a stage

Part of the Moderates' success can be attributed toTrump and Greenland, Stubager said. Late last year, the party was polling poorly, but then got a major bump from Løkke Rasmussen, the government's foreign minister, through his diplomatic work to calm the tensions with the U.S. that included a headline-grabbing trip to Washington.

"Donald Trump put up a stage on which Lars Løkke could perform, and he performed well in the eyes of most Danes," Stubager said.

Frederiksen also was banking on Greenland. Her own polls earlier this year showed an increase in support, prompting her to call the election in February — several months before she had to. She apparently hoped that her resolute image in the standoff would help her with voters.

The early election was not necessarily a failed gamble, as the Social Democrats' support had been lower before the crisis spiked.

Frederiksen warned in January that an American takeover of Greenland would amount to theend of NATO. But the crisis has simmered down, at least for now.

Trump backed downon threats to impose tariffs on Denmark and other European countries that opposed the U.S. taking control of the vast Arctic island, and the U.S., Denmark and Greenlandstarted technical talkson an Arctic security deal. The discussions are ongoing.

Joanna Harrison never wanted to speak about the abuse she faced at the hands of convicted sex offenderJeffrey Epstein.

Like many survivors, she says Epstein's assault filled her with shame and embarrassment. But after her name was unintentionally made public in the release of millions of files by the US government, she told BBC Newsnight's Victoria Derbyshire she felt she had to speak out.

"It gets to a point where you're being suffocated and you need to breathe, and I feel this is my way of trying to breathe," Harrison said.

BBC Newsnight brought Harrison and four other Epstein survivors together for the first time in the same room. During the hours-long discussion that followed, there were supportive gestures and, as they studied photos of themselves from the time when they first met Epstein, there were tears.

In the wide-ranging interview, the survivors told their stories of grief and anger. Some revisitedEpstein's infamous private island, Little St James, while others recounted "eerie" moments at his New Mexico ranch.

They said they believed thepowerful figureswith whom he associated himself would most likely have known what was going on.

Survivor's identity thrust into spotlight

Millions of documents related to the various investigations of Epstein werereleased by the US Department of Justice, but some of the unredacted material failed to obscure the identity of his victims.

Harrison was one of those people whose name was made public.

She told BBC Newsnight she never wanted the files to be released, fearing she would lose her anonymity.

"It's not normal to see your abuser's face every day for six years on TV," Harrison said.

She recounted meeting Epstein in Florida when she was 18, and like other survivors, she said everything began with a massage.

"Everything seemed normal," Harrison said. "When he began to masturbate, I completely froze. I don't think I said two words in the car in the ride home."

She later recounted Epstein raping her on his birthday.

Speaking publicly for the first time, Harrison said she doubted she and other survivors would ever get justice now that Epstein was dead. "I have questions I'll never get an answer to."

Five countries in five days with Clinton, Spacey and Maxwell

Chauntae Davies shared never-before-seen images with BBC Newsnight of her time travelling with Epstein on his private plane to Africa.

The pictures included Epstein's co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell as well as actor Kevin Spacey and former President Bill Clinton. Spacey and Clinton were travelling on a humanitarian trip to promote Aids prevention.

"I described it in my journal at the time as the most eclectic group of people that you could put together... it was almost like a camp feel because you were travelling to five different countries in five days," she said. On the plane they ate snacks, played cards and told stories.

"It was very much a once-in-a-lifetime trip, and unfortunately, it had to be tainted by what was happening behind closed doors," she said.

Davies has said she was raped by Epstein on his private island after being hired to give him massages.

The trained massage therapist recalled during the Newsnight discussion that she gave Clinton a neck and back massage at an airport in Portugal while the plane refuelled. At the time, she said she wrote in her journal that the former president was humble, kind and charismatic.

The former president was asked about this interaction with Davies when he sat for a deposition in front of the US House Oversight Committee in February. He told the committee he wished Davies had told him about Epstein's wrongdoing.

But Davies said she never considered telling Clinton: "I was never going to speak about this with anyone."

"What would he have done, really? Could [Clinton] have stopped it?" Davies wondered about Epstein's wrongdoing. "I guess we'll never know."

At one point, while in Portugal with Clinton, Davies recalled helping the former president buy jewellery for his daughter, Chelsea.

Clinton has repeatedly said he did not witness Epstein's abuse. His name crops up hundreds of times in the Epstein files. Appearing in documents related to Epstein does not imply any wrongdoing.

Spacey has publicly called for the release of all the Epstein files, saying: "For those of us with nothing to fear, the truth can't come soon enough."

Epstein's 'eerie' New Mexico ranch

Earlier this year, allegations surfaced in justice department files about Epstein that prompted the US state of New Mexico to re-open a criminal probe into his Zorro Ranch.

The state previously shelved its initial investigation into the ranch in 2019 following a request from federal prosecutors in New York.

"That's where the majority of the assaults happened. I have my darkest memories from Zorro Ranch," Davies said.

When she recalled what it felt like to be there, she told BBC Newsnight she had felt "trapped".

"It had a cold, dark, eerie feeling in there," Davies said.

Lisa Phillips, another survivor who spoke to BBC Newsnight, echoed that sentiment about the ranch. "I remember being like 'this place is really creepy', it just had that feel to it," she said.

Davies said she believes there is a lot more to uncover about what happened at Zorro Ranch.

'I like to have things on people', Epstein told survivor

Epstein loved to brag about his well-connected and well-appointed friends, Davies said.

She said he bragged about lending money to Sarah Ferguson, the former Duchess of York. "It wasn't a secret," Davies told BBC Newsnight.

There were framed photos of Ferguson with her former husband, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and their daughters at Epstein's property, Davies said.

Phillips, a fashion model at the time, also spoke about Epstein's connections to Mountbatten-Windsor and retold a story of her friend, who has not spoken publicly and wants to remain anonymous, allegedly being instructed to have sex with Mountbatten-Windsor.

She said her friend went to Epstein's Upper East Side New York City apartment in 2003 where she was directed to go into a room and have sex with a man whom she said was Mountbatten-Windsor.

Mountbatten-Windsor has consistently denied all wrongdoing.

Phillips told BBC Newsnight she later asked Epstein why he had made her friend have sex with Mountbatten-Windsor. She said Epstein smirked and replied: "I like to have things on people."

"He liked the fear in our eyes," she said of Epstein's abuses. "I think he liked that we were frozen and scared and didn't know what to do, and I think he got off on that."

In the Newsnight interview, Phillips called on the UK police to speak to her about what she knows about her friend's alleged assault and Mountbatten-Windsor's involvement.

Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The probe centres on accusations he shared confidential, sensitive information Epstein while serving as a UK trade envoy.

The survivors who spoke to BBC Newsnight said they do not believe Epstein killed himself.

"We knew him, we knew the kind of person he was," Phillips said.

Epstein was found dead in his prison cell on 10 August 2019 while he was being held at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, in New York, on sex trafficking and conspiracy charges ahead of trial.

It was ruled a suicide by the New York medical examiner.

'I don't smile the same way now' - Epstein's lasting impact

Jena Lisa Jones and Wendy Pesante both met Epstein when they were 14. The women were friends then and, years later after surviving Epstein's abuse, still are.

"When you go through something like that so young it kind of distorts your reality for a long time," Pesante said. "You shouldn't have the mindset of a sex worker at 14."

At one point during the interview, all five survivors were given photos of themselves at the age they were when they met Epstein.

"I don't smile the same way anymore," Harrison said, looking at the image of her 18-year-old self.

Phillips looked at the photo of herself in a light-pink ensemble, on a boat, and realised Epstein's island was in the background.

"I was enjoying my life, and I had no idea what was about to happen to me," she said of herself in the image. "This is not what I looked like when I left the island."

UK users can watch the full interview on Newsnight on BBC Two at 22:30 GMT and later onBBC iPlayer

American Dennis Coyle is back on U.S. soil on March 25, a day after beingreleased by the Afghan Taliban following over a year of captivity.

Coyle, a Colorado researcher who was detained in January 2025 while in Afghanistan to study languages, was greeted by the cheers and embraces of loved ones, including his mother and sisters, at Joint Base San Antonio in Texas as the sun rose on March 25.

The Taliban said it decided to release Coyle after a request by his mother and after itsSupreme Court"deemed the period of his detention sufficient."

Secretary of StateMarco Rubiosaid March 24 that Coyle's release was a "positive" step by the Taliban but that it must end its practice of "hostage diplomacy." The United States deemed Afghanistan a state sponsor of wrongful detention earlier this month, urging the Taliban to release Coyle and other hostages.

Coyle's family thanked PresidentDonald Trump, Rubio and other officials for their efforts to secure his release.

"Today, our hearts are filled with overwhelming gratitude and praise to God for sustaining Dennis' life and bringing him back home after what has been the most challenging and uncertain 421 days of our lives," Coyle's family said in a statement to thePueblo Chieftain, part of the USA TODAY Network, on March 24.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military is preparing to deploy at least 1,000 troops from the 82nd Airborne Divisionto the Middle Eastin the coming days, according to three people with knowledge of the plans.

Iran US Military

The unit is considered the Army's emergency response force and can typically be deployed on short notice. The force would include a battalion of the 1st Brigade Combat Team as well as Maj. Gen. Brandon Tegtmeier, the division's commander, and division staff, according to the people, who spoke Tuesday on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military plans or private conversations.

It's the latest addition of American troops to the Iran war effort after U.S. officials recently said thousands of Marines aboard several Navy ships will be heading to the region.

While the Marine units are trained in missions that include supporting U.S. embassies, evacuating civilians and disaster relief, the soldiers of the 82nd Airborne, based at Fort Bragg in North Carolina, are trained to parachute into hostile or contested territory to secure key territory and airfields.

When asked about the deployment, White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly deferred to the Pentagon but noted that "President Trump always has all military options at his disposal."

Members of the Senate Armed Services Committee are scheduled to receive a classified briefing from Pentagon officials Wednesday on Capitol Hill where the potential deployment is expected to be discussed, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

The New York Times earlier reported the possible deployment of the 82nd Airborne to the Middle East.

U.S. officials previously have said the Japan-based USS Tripoli and the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit had been ordered to the Middle East — shifting them from exercises near Taiwan.

They also confirmed that the Navy has rushed to deploy a set of ships carrying a rapid-response Marine force to the Middle East from their home post of San Diego.

The pair of Marine Expeditionary Units will add about 5,000 Marines and thousands of sailors to the region, where the U.S. already has about 50,000 troops.

The troops are being added just as the Trump administration says it hasbegun negotiations with Iranto end the war. Pakistan offered to host diplomatic talks, but Iran has denied that any negotiations are taking place.

While speaking Tuesday at the White House, Trump said the U.S. is "in negotiations right now" and his envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner are involved in the talks, along with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance.

"We have a number of people doing it," Trump said. "And the other side, I can tell you, they'd like to make a deal."

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's office said he has been discussing the war this week with several counterparts. ButMohammad Bagher Qalibaf, the speaker of Iran's parliament, denied Trump's claim of direct talks, and an Iranian military spokesman issued a newly defiant statement vowing to fight "until complete victory."

Happy Daysis one of the most popular, influential coming-of-age sitcoms of all time.

Over the course of 11 seasons, the show took us through the 1950s into the early '60s, mostly through the eyes of the Cunninghams. There was bright-eyed Richie Cunningham (Ron Howard), of course, along with his family and his friends, namely Ralph (Don Most), Potsie (Anson Williams) and the ultra-cool Fonzie (Henry Winkler).

The show spawned a few spinoffs:Laverne & Shirley(1976–1983),Mork & Mindy(1978–1982), andJoanie Loves Chachi(1982–1983). It also made stars out of Howard and Winkler. Fonzie became one of the most popular characters in TV history, while Howard went on to become an Oscar-winning director.

For Howard's part, he thinks the show was built to last forever, in large part due to its intrinsic nostalgia. "It's amazing, but we're not doing a reboot," he toldPEOPLE in 2025. "The fact that the show endures… it kind of blows my mind in an interesting way… There's something about that that doesn't age — it was nostalgia when it was made."

Let's make these days ours again and check in on the cast ofHappy Days.

Ron Howard (Richie Cunningham)

Ron Howardheadlined the hit sitcom's first seven seasons as the virtuous, lovably innocent Richie.

The child actor known forThe Music Man(1962),The Andy Griffith Show(1960–1968), andAmerican Graffiti(1973) grew up in front of America's eyes onHappy Days,then pivoted away from acting altogether to pursue his real passion, directing. He credits Henry Winkler for helping that transition stick when he agreed to star in Howard's breakout film.

"Henry was always so supportive of that. When Henry said yes toNight Shift, that's what got that movie greenlit," Howard toldPEOPLE in 2025. "He played a hand in helping my dream ultimately come true, which was to be a studio, Hollywood, feature director."

He quickly became a studio heavyweight, directing such diverse hits asSplash(1984),Cocoon(1985),Willow(1988), andParenthood(1989). As the years went on, he tackled even bigger projects, helming the space epicApollo 13(1995) and a string of other true-story adaptations,Cinderella Man(2005),Frost/Nixon(2008),Rush(2013), andA Beautiful Mind(2001), for which Howard won an Oscar.

The Oklahoma native also booked theDa Vinci Codefranchise and provided narration on beloved cult sitcomArrested Development(2003–2019). Most recently, he brought a uniquely twisted true story to life with the star-studdedEden(2024) and made a cameo on Apple TV's Emmy-winning seriesThe Studio(2025).

Howard has been married to Cheryl Alley since 1975 and has four children, including actressBryce Dallas-Howard.

Anson Williams (Warren "Potsie" Weber)

Anson Williamsearned a Golden Globe nomination as the nerdy, gullible, and musically talented Potsie.

According to Williams, the main gang of four have been just as close in real life as they were on the show.

"We have been close friends for decades," he toldPEOPLE in 2025. "Just to have that kind of friendship that many years? It's pretty unique."

Though he played himself on aHappy Days-themed episode ofBoy Meets World(1996) and reprised Potsie onSabrina, the Teenage Witch(2003), Williams followed Howard's lead behind the camera.

The actor has been a regular TV director for four decades, helming multiple episodes ofMelrose Place(1996–1999),Beverly Hills, 90210(1996–2000),Star Trek: Voyager(1997–1999), andThe Secret Life of the American Teenager(2008–2013).

Williamsmarried real estate broker Sharon MaHarryin 2023. He has five children from previous marriages.

Marion Ross (Marion Cunningham)

Marion Rossplayed the loving mother of Richie and Joanie and surrogate mother to Fonzie, a role that earned her two Emmy nominations.

As for her favorite scene from the show? "Well, I had a wonderful one where I did a belly dance for Howard, to put some spunk back in the marriage," Rosstold EW in 2008. "It is so funny. The writers said, 'Marion comes down the stairs doing a belly dance.' I thought, 'Did anybody ask me if I could do this?'"

The Minneapolis native was already a two-decade TV vet by the time she took over the Cunningham household. She later landed two more Emmy nods for her lead performance onBrooklyn Bridge(1991–1993) and had recurring roles onThe Drew Carey Show(1997–2004) andGilmore Girls(2001–2005).

Ross, who appeared in Ron Howard's directorial debutGrand Theft Auto(1977), returned to the big screen 19 years later and earned her first Golden Globe nomination forThe Evening Star(1996), a sequel toTerms of Endearment.

The now-retired actress has two children from her first husband. She was later married to actor Paul Michael from 1988 until his death in 2011.

Tom Bosley (Howard Cunningham)

Tom Bosleyplayed the prototypical, good-natured 1950s TV dad — stern yet wise, the all-American businessman and suburbanite.

He was the first to admit the role was a natural fit.

"I am the character you see on TV — I am Richie Cunningham's father," Bosley toldThe Tampa Tribune. "I'm a square. Like Howard Cunningham, I have a responsibility to care for my family, keep up the home and see to other needs."

Like his TV wife, Bosley was an old hand on the TV circuit when he found a full-time home onHappy Days, earning an Emmy nomination for the performance. After picking up a recurring role onMurder, She Wrote(1984–1988) as Sheriff Tupper, the Chicago native found his own franchise withFather Dowling Mysteries(1989–1991).

He kept up his workload for most of his remaining years, with guest spots on such defining shows asBoy Meets World(1996),ER(2001), andOne Tree Hill(2005).

The character actor died in 2010 at age 83. He was survived by his wife of 30 years, Patricia Carr, and his daughter from a previous marriage.

Henry Winkler (Arthur Fonzarelli)

Henry Winklerbecame synonymous with Fonzie. Originally intended as a peripheral character, he became too cool to ignore and was elevated to co-lead status.

The Fonz remains one of the most iconic characters in TV history, and Winkler won two Golden Globes for the role. Despite the hardware, he says he only got better in his post-Happydays.

"I have become a better actor. I have. I'm getting closer to the actor I dreamt about being when I was doing the Fonz," Winkler toldEW in 2023. "Some of my idols in acting are Jack Nicholson and Anthony Hopkins, where there's no distance between their soul and their character… There is something so magnificent about that."

The native New Yorker was no slouch on the big screen, either. He earned two Golden Globe nominations for Best Actor — first forHeroes(1977), alongside Sally Field and Harrison Ford, and again for Howard'sNight Shift(1982), opposite Michael Keaton.

In later years he became one of TV and film comedy's signature character actors, becoming a regular in Adam Sandler's stable — includingThe Waterboy(1998) andClick(2006) — and stealing every scene as incompetent defense attorney Barry Zuckerkorn onArrested Development.

In recent years he found arguably his most well-rounded role on Bill Hader'sBarry(2018–2023), as an amusingly pretentious acting coach turned tragically haunted victim of circumstance. He won his first career Emmy for the performance.

Winkler has been married to Stacey Weitzman since 1978 and they have three children.

Don Most (Ralph Malph)

Don Mostportrayed the gang's quirky, awkward practical joker, Ralph.

"After five months working on [Ralph], I got to know who he was and helped to mold a personality," Most told theHonolulu Star-Advertiser. "Underneath everything, Ralph has a heart. [He has] a desire, a strong feeling of friendship… I hope that comes through in my portrayal."

In subsequent years, Most stuck around on television — including voice roles onDungeons and Dragons(1983–1985) andTeen Wolf(1986–1987) — and guest spots onBaywatch(1993),Sliders(1996), andDiagnosisMurder(1998). He also had a small part in Howard's big-screen featureEDtv(1996).

The Brooklyn native has maintained a music career over the years as well, specializing in jazz and swing.

Most has been married to Morgan Hart since 1982 and they have two children together.

Erin Moran (Joanie Cunningham)

Erin Moranemulated the prototypical sassy 1950s teenager as Richie's sister, Joanie. She continued the role on the spinoff,Joanie Loves Chachi, and won a Young Artist Award for her performance.

Though she later landed episodes ofThe Love Boat(1980–1985) andMurder, She Wrote, Moran remained largely out of the spotlight afterHappy Days.

The California native died from throat cancer complications in 2017 at 56 years old. She was survived by her husband of 24 years, Steven Fleischmann.

Al Molinaro (Al Delvecchio)

Al Molinaroplayed Al Delvecchio, the laid-back owner of Arnold's Drive-In, where the gang is regularly getting a burger or dancing.

Molinaro, already a well known figure thanks to his years onThe Odd Couple(1970–1975), took over as the owner of Arnold's in season 4 after Pat Morita's Arnold left the show.

"In the industry, they used to consider us like a bubble-gum show," Molinaro said on the 1992Happy Days Reunion Special. "But I think they overlooked one thing. To the public in America,Happy Dayswas an important show, and I think it was and I think it still is."

He played Al again onJoanie Loves Chachiand in Weezer's music video for "Buddy Holly," which took place at Arnold's. His biggest role in later years was on the sitcomThe Family Man(1990–1991).

The Wisconsin native died in 2015 at age 96. He was survived by his wife of 34 years, Betty Farrell, and a son from his first marriage.

Scott Baio (Chachi Arcola)

Scott Baioplayed Fonzie's similarly smooth-talking cousin Chachi, who made "Wah wah wah" an enduring catchphrase.

The actor found plenty of later success, but knows it all came down toHappy DayscreatorGarry Marshall.

"Everything that I have, everything that I do, extends from that," Baio toldThe AV Club. "Garry Marshall created me, basically, and I oweeverythingto him."

Known only at the time for the title role in kid gangster flickBugsy Malone(1976) alongside Jodie Foster, Baio turned Chachi into a breakout character and eventually headlined his own spinoff.

He then took on another starring role that lasted the rest of the decade,Charles in Charge(1984–1990). A few years later, he landed a regular gig onDiagnosis: Murder(1993–1995).

Arrested Developmentfans know him for his recurring part as lawyer Bob Loblaw, reuniting him with Winkler and Howard. The New York native later found himself in sitcom dad mode on Nick at Nite'sSee Dad Run(2012–2014). His most recent acting credit is the action flickA Line of Fire(2025), alongside Jason Patric and Cuba Gooding Jr.

Baio has been married to Renée Sloan since 2007. They have two children together.
