Nick Saban has been a goated figure in college football as the quintessential Alabama head coach for over two decades. It’s a no-brainer that a glimpse of his immense popularity will flow to his kids, Nicholas and Kristen, and earn them a decent amount of media exposure 24*7. However, it’s not just the last name. Kristen Saban, 27, capitalized on her father’s territory in her own right and made a splash over the internet. From attending games and ceremonies at Alabama to being a constant cheerleader to dad Nick Saban, the fashion diva barely fails to draw attention nationwide. But this time, she rose to the headline, not in her usual mic-dropping mode.
On this black Thursday, Hollywood encountered heartbreaking news as two-time Oscar winner Gene Hackman breathed his last at the age of 95. Although his age speaks enough of his deteriorated health and eventual death in the process, the loss of a legend always hits harder than you think. Also, it makes more sense when the cause of death remains unclear. On February 26th, Gene Hackman, his wife Betsy Arakawa, and their dog were found dead at home in Santa Fe. The suspicion swirls over the lore as police initiate an investigation. Saban’s daughter seems to be one of the million fans of the Hollywood mogul who was left down in the mouth by the news. She mourns via an IG story with a few sobbing emojis alongside the news.

It’s unclear whether or not Saban has any significant connection with the actor; both legends have single-handedly dominated their field.
