The Guessing Game/Harry & Meghan

What will be on the cover of People this week? My guesses, not in order of importance or likelihood:

Jennifer Lopez and Shakira: They killed it at the Super Bowl
Patrick Mahomes and/or his girlfriend: The 24-year-old was named MVP of the Super Bowl
Misha Nonoo: Meghan and Harry attended her wedding last year, now she's pregnant
Joe Amabile and Kendall Long: The Bachelor in Paradise couple has split up
Vanessa Bryant: Kobe's widow, how is she coping, remembering Kobe, helping her daughters, etc.?
Jennifer Gates: Daughter of Bill and Melinda Gates, she's now engaged
Hunter Biden: Reached a settlement to provide support for his child with Lunden Roberts
Jeannine Cummins: Author of the controversial book American Dirt, an Oprah Book Club pick, her book tour was cancelled
Lori Loughlin: She and her husband are selling their house
Imelda Staunton: Will play Queen Elizabeth in the 5th (and final) season of The Crown
Melania Trump: People has been ignoring Melania since the election, but over the week-end People.com posted an article about Free Melania, the book CNN reporter Kate Bennett published in December. (Read it here.) That could be a preview of a coming cover story
Pamela Anderson: I had her on the Guessing Game list last week for her marriage to Jon Peters, after 12 whole days, they've now separated
Sheryl Sandberg: The Facebook COO is engaged
Shannen Doherty: After being in remission since 2017, her cancer has returned

Stories that appear on the new cover will be highlighted in green.

Update on Wednesday morning. It's Harry & Meghan again this week, accompanied by a story, linked-to below, that contains no real news. I didn't have them on the Guessing Game list this week but going forward, I should probably just put them on it every week. In particular, I expect that before the end of this year, Meghan will be expecting again. Archie turns 1 in May, I'd say sometime between November of this year and May of next year, his little brother or sister will have joined the family. Something to think about: Would Meghan be able to give birth in Canada, or would she need to return to Harry's home country?
