SPOTTED: One disgraced pop star and one athlete who’s supposed to be at the peak of his game. All the Graylings and Trainspotters want to know: what are Sterling and Kai doing next?

Sterling Grayson should have known that, when you’re on top of the world, there’s nowhere to go but down. He just concluded a record-setting tour, his latest album was a smash hit, and he had his amazing boyfriend, Kaius Reinhart, by his side. Now, a shocking lie has turned his world upside down. The public’s perception of him has taken a nosedive, and, all of a sudden, he’s getting jeered every time he leaves the house. All his attempts to defend himself are met with derision. Guess people just like to see the mighty fall.

Kai is, as ever, a sturdy and faithful presence in Sterling’s life. However, the Train is also having a rough time lately. A new football season brings fresh challenges, along with renewed drama from old rivals. Kai’s an expert at balancing on-field performance with off-field politics. But when a devastating injury sidelines him, Kai suddenly has bigger things to worry about than Sterling’s embattled reputation.

Does adversity actually bring people closer together? Or will the huge stresses in their respective professional and personal lives tear at the trust and respect that America’s most-photographed couple have built from the ground up?

One thing’s for sure: it’s going to be another unforgettable year.
