Roloff Family Farm Update

Jeremy and Audrey Roloff recently shared an update about Jeremy’s family farm on their Instagram accounts. Audrey previously shared on her Instagram account that she and Jeremy had tried to purchase the farm from Matt in May of 2020 but ultimately realized that it wasn’t meant to be. However, recently, they went back for the first time in years and even stayed on the property.

The family rented Jeremy’s childhood home from Matt, who has the property listed on a site like Airbnb called iTrip.net. They decided to rent it because they’re currently in the process of renovating their own home just a few miles away.

Jeremy shared on Instagram that they had been staying with his in-laws, Audrey’s parents, who also live close by. Because Audrey’s parents needed room to host Audrey’s siblings for Christmas, Audrey and Jeremy decided it would be best for everyone if they spent Christmas somewhere else.

Jeremy also shared that they were renting the house for another reason, writing, “Metaphorically, you need to get close enough to your dragons to stab/hug them.”

Jeremy and Audrey always shared a desire to buy Roloff Farms from Matt, both on the family’s show, Little People Big World, and on social media. When the sale fell through, they shared that they were devastated on their podcast. Losing the house had been the death of a dream.

The History of Roloff Farms: A Family Matter

Roloff Farms has been a hot-button topic for the entire family for years.

When Matt and Amy divorced in 2016, they continued living on the property in separate houses until Matt bought Amy out of her half of the farm in 2019. At the time, he only paid her $667,000 for her half of the farm. Amy has since said on Little People Big World that she accepted that price because she was under the impression that Matt was going to sell the property to one of their kids for the same price later down the line.

Instead, both Jeremy and Zach placed offers that were turned down by Matt. And it caused years of fighting between the twins and their father, on and off the reality show. After both of their offers, Matt listed a portion of the farm for sale for much more than he had paid Amy.

Roloff Farms is more than 100 acres, and Matt listed just 16 acres of the property for four million dollars, according to the realtor’s website that featured the property. Those 16 acres included most of the Roloff Farms attractions that fans know and love. The family’s pirate ship, western town, and other pumpkin season attractions were included in the sale, as well as the family home that all four of the Roloff children grew up in.

But the property never sold, so Matt removed the listing and decided to rent the family home on iTrip.net instead. The concept was that it would allow fans of the show to stay in the home that they had seen for years on TV. It seems as though no one had rented it out for Christmas, allowing Jeremy and Audrey to rent the home for their family.

Jeremy Never Expected to Be Back in The Farmhouse

Audrey shared on her Instagram that it was a strange experience that they never expected to happen, writing, “It’s crazy even for me being back in the farmhouse, but especially wild for Jer. Tucking our kids into bed on Christmas Eve in the bedroom he grew up in and racing down the same stairs he did on Christmas morning. I never thought we’d go back in the house again once Jer’s dad put it on the market, but here we are.”

Audrey and Jeremy have shared many times on their podcast that losing out on the sale of Jeremy’s childhood was extremely emotional for both of them, which made their choice to stay there for Christmas surprising.

The post did not go into detail about what had specifically happened that caused the breakup. Jeremy only stated that what had happened was private. Though, he did confirm that he did not cheat, and wasn’t in the relationship for the fame.

Jeremy further explained how he had ended up on the show that introduced him to Tamar. The couple met on Queens Court, a dating reality show that starred Tamar Braxton, Evelyn Lozada, and Nivea. Jeremy hadn’t intended on joining Queens Court despite the show asking him many times. Eventually, he gave in and ended up falling in love with Tamar.

During the show’s finale, Jeremy even proposed to Tamar. It was an emotional proposal, with Tamar telling Jeremy that she had always wanted someone who could look at her and see her for who she was and accept her. She believed that Jeremy was someone she had prayed for since she was a child. The couple would enjoy a long engagement before eventually breaking up.

Jeremy concluded his Instagram post by saying that he needed time to heal and that he’d always be friends with Tamar.

Tamar and Jeremy Reunited in December

The couple remained estranged for two months before rekindling their romance in December, according to Page Six. On Christmas Day, Tamar posted an Instagram reel of her wearing Christmas pajamas and opening up a blue box. Inside was an oval-shaped engagement ring.

In another Instagram video, Jeremy knelt beside the Christmas tree and asked for her to marry him. She agreed, and the couple kissed and hugged.

Tamar captioned the posts and discussed how the couple had got there. She stated that just a few months ago, they actually hated each other and were sure the relationship was over. But after having a really hard conversation, they knew that they were the only things that mattered. She mentioned that the past was the past, and they were going to focus on each other and not the naysayers around them.

Tamar continued the post by saying they were going to be proud of their love and that they’d be forgiving and fighting for each other every day. She concluded by stating how much she loved Jeremy and that their troubles were miles away.

Jeremy also posted about the day, sharing a picture of an up-close photo of the ring on Instagram. He also captioned it by wishing everyone Merry Christmas from their family and that he loved Tamar forever.

Tamar is a famous reality star and singer who is part of The Braxtons, an R&B band that also comprises her sisters, and Jeremy works as a personal injury lawyer who sometimes stars in reality shows alongside Tamar.

This baby announcement comes a year after the couple released their first duet, titled “Thank God.” Kane and Katelyn got married in 2018. Kingsley was born in October 2019, and Kodi was born in December 2021.

Kane Struggles to Be Away From His Kids While on Tour

Last year, Kane spoke to “Good Morning America” about the difficulties of being away from his kids while on tour: “I think two days for me is kinda like my breaking point,” he said. “I was gone to Australia and New Zealand for 16 days. When you’re gone for 16 days, It’s like, ‘What’s going on? What are they doing? What am I missing?'” “It gets really scary because I don’t wanna just watch them grow up through a phone,” he added. 

Kane has also been open about adjusting to being a family of four and praised Katelyn’s parenting skills. “It’s awesome, man. My wife’s a Superwoman, so she’s got her sleeping through the night,” Kane told ET. “It’s been an awesome transition.”

Katelyn Brown Chose Not To Announce Her Second Pregnancy

Despite the fact they often share family updates on social media, the Browns kept their second pregnancy a secret. “These past 9 months have been so sacred and special to me. Choosing to keep my pregnancy quiet was the best decision I’ve ever made,” wrote Katelyn on Instagram when they announced the birth of Kodi. “Soaking in special moments with my daughter and husband without the influence of social media and the outside world made this time that much more intimate and unforgettable,” she added.

Founding Member of Dixie Chicks, Laura Lynch, Dies at 65

USA Today has reported that one of the founding members of the famous country band Dixie Chicks, now known as the Chicks, has passed away. Laura Lynch was driving when she was struck by an oncoming car on the highway.

According to Sergeant Eliot Torres, who investigated the crash, Laura was driving down the highway when another car veered into her lane. The other car was trying to pass a car in front of it when it struck Laura’s car head-on. She was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the other car, on the other hand, was sent to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. According to the source, the investigation into the crash is still ongoing.

The Chicks Remember Laura in an Instagram Post

Members of the band paid tribute to Laura through a post on Instagram. In the post, they expressed their shock and grief over Laura’s passing. They recalled happy memories about touring with Laura, making memories, and playing great music. They also credited Laura for being a key reason behind the band’s early success. The band concluded the post by saying their thoughts went to Laura’s family and loved ones.

Country fans will remember that the original Dixie Chicks band comprised Laura, Martie Maguire, Emily Strayer, and Robin Lynn Macy. During their early days, the band mostly played on street corners and focused on Bluegrass. Laura played the upright bass and eventually became the group’s lead singer.

The original group released three albums while together. In 1990, they released the album, “Thank Heavens for Dale Evans.” The next album was released in 1992 and was entitled, “Little Ol’ Cowgirl.” And the final album the original group released was in 1993 and called “Shouldn’t a Told You That.” As the band started to hit the mainstream and transitioned from Bluegrass to Modern Country, Laura left the group. In 1995, Laura left and was replaced by Natalie Maines.

That wasn’t the only major change that occurred to the band either. They also changed their name from The Dixie Chicks to The Chicks in 2020. This change came about during the time of George Floyd’s murder. According to USA Today, the reason behind the switch was due to a desire to stop any association with old Southern beliefs.

Laura Lynch’s Legacy

While Laura left the band before it got big, they did play at some important events. The US Sun explains that while they were touring through small events and festivals, they ended up winning the award for Best Band at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. They also started opening for big-time musicians and bands like Reba McEntire, Garth Brooks, and George Strait. The band even had the opportunity to play at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1991. When Bill Clinton became president, the band was also chosen to play at his inaugural ball in 1993.

According to the US Sun, when Laura left the group, the reasons weren’t immediately made clear to the public. The band still doesn’t discuss the reason for her departure. During an interview with Anita Chang, Laura wouldn’t discuss the reason she left the band. She only said she was replaced, and it hurt to be replaced. Anita also stated during her interview that Laura spent a lot of time oil painting and collecting oil paintings.

Laura was 65 when she passed away.

Javi Marroquin and GF Announce They Are Expecting a Baby Girl

Javi Marroquin and his girlfriend, Lauren Comeau, have officially announced on Instagram that they are expecting another baby.

This news comes from a recent instagram post on Lauren’s account where they said “Christmas came early and we got our sweetest wish.”

They even confirmed that this time around, it will be a baby girl. “Little sister [is] coming this summer and we couldn’t be happier.” In their announcement, they shared a picture of a pink “it’s a girl” ornament hanging on their christmas tree — inside the frame was the ultrasound picture.

Javi shared his girlfriend’s post to his own Instagram story, writing an additional caption that said “in my girl dad era! Let’s go.” In a video shared to his instagram stories, Javi gives more detail behind how they found out Lauren was pregnant and what his reaction was.

Javi and Lauren Had a Feeling They Were Expecting a Girl

“We did the sneak peek, where you do the blood draw and we did that during Thanksgiving break when we were up in Maine,” he said. “After Lauren did it, I said it out loud, I was like, ‘God, please give us a sign.'”

“We get home [several days later] and I get the email where it says, ‘You’ll know by tomorrow.’” When the next day actually came and the family went to church, Javi bet Lauren that they would know what their baby was right after, and that’s almost exactly what happened.

“So, we go to church and, I kid you not, this week’s service there were two lights [on and] it was blue, pink, blue.” said Javi. “I look over at Lauren and I said, ‘Babe, that’s the sign that we literally asked for.'”

“I was like, ‘It’s a girl, I don’t even need the email.'”

Once they got home and read the email, their suspicions were confirmed, and they finally knew once and for all that they were going to have a baby girl. Javi even claims that their son Eli also suspected that it might be a girl, as he said Eli always referred to the baby with she and her pronouns.

Javi and Lauren Have a Rocky Past

Javi and Lauren made headlines in recent years after cheating allegations came out on Javi’s part. The two of them already share their son Eli, and Javi also shares a son, Lincoln, with his ex-wife, Kailyn Lowry, which is how he rose to reality TV fame on Teen Mom 2.

Kail once revealed on an episode of Teen Mom 2 that Javi tried to cheat on Lauren with her in a Wawa parking lot. After the allegations began surfacing, Javi and Lauren removed themselves from social media before coming back and posting pictures together once again.

Javi officially sold his house in July of this year, and it was reported by The Sun that, based on Delaware property records, he has not purchased a new home since, and he has posted pictures on Instagram seeming as though he’s moved back in with Lauren.

Kim Kardashian has sparked outrage for her birthday post about best friend Tracy Romulus. Kim took to Instagram to celebrate her friend, but fans slammed her for the unusual photos she chose to mark the occasion. 

The photos, which were shared on Instagram Stories, show Kim posing in front of a mirror and taking selfies. “I love you so much for always keeping it 100%! You are the glue in our circle and we love you for being the realest at all times! And paying me no mind at the same time lol,” she captioned. 

The only issue? Tracy seems completely unaware of the photos being taken. She is standing in the background while Kim is posing front and center. In some shots, Kim pouts or sticks her tongue out. Meanwhile, Tracy is either hidden by Kim or looking down at her phone. People online were quick to point out Kim’s choice of pictures.

 “KIM is SO Gross and NARCISSISTIC that she makes HERSELF the CENTER OF ATTENTION to wish her BESTIE (and anyone else) a Happy Birthday,” wrote a Reddit user. “God forbid someone other than Kim have the spotlight for a millisecond,” added another social media user. 

Who Is Kim’s Best Friend Tracy Romulus?

If you’re wondering who Tracy is and how she and Kim became friends, they actually work together. According to US Weekly, Tracy is the chief marketing officer of KKW Brands – the company behind brands like KKW Beauty, Skims and KKW Fragrance. “What makes work so incredibly fulfilling for me is that I get to work alongside such brilliant, inspiring, creative women — like Kim and Kris Jenner — and the most talented, hardest working team in the world. I feel incredibly blessed,” Tracy once told People

However, she and Kim were close friends long before they started collaborating professionally. “The one thing I admire most about you is the fact that you are the same genuine person that I met that Monday night in NY 15 years ago,” Tracy shared on Instagram in a 2021 post in honor of Kim’s birthday. “Still the most beautiful, kindest, smartest, funniest and most fun person in the room.” 

Tracy also used to work for Kim’s estranged ex-husband Kanye West as a publicist for the Yeezy brand, per US Weekly. According to The U.S. Sun, her husband, Ray Romulus, is a rapper and music producer who has worked with the likes of Mariah Carey, Justin Bieber and Bruno Mars. The couple often spent time with Kim and Kanye when they were still together. 

Tracy and Ray have three kids: Ryan, Remi and Raf. Their daughter Ryan is reportedly best friends with North.

Mariah Carey and Bryan Tanaka have allegedly split up after seven years together. According to Page Six, their breakup was caused by Bryan’s desire to start a family of his own.

Just hours after reports emerged that the couple had gone their separate ways, a source talked to the outlet about it. The insider alleged that the 14-year age gap between the partners played a part in the breakup, as it meant that Mariah and Bryan wanted different things.

Bryan Reportedly Wants to Have Kids

The source told Page Six that Bryan “wants to have a family. That’s not where she is at.” Mariah already shares 12-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with ex-husband Nick Cannon. Word began spreading that the singer and her partner had split up as Mariah started her Merry Christmas One and All tour in November. It was noticed that Bryan, a backup dancer, had not made an appearance at Mariah’s shows. Fans commented on Bryan’s absence at Mariah’s concert at the Yaamava’ Resort & Casino in Highland, California.

For over a decade, Bryan had been seen dancing at Mariah’s shows. According to The Daily Mail, some fans remarked that Mariah “looked downbeat” at the show, and complained about her alleged “low energy performance.”

The Daily Mail reported that Mariah is also currently spending the holiday season in Aspen without Bryan. In the past, the 40 year old would usually accompany Mariah on her trips, according to a source who talked to PEOPLE.

The couple began dating in 2016, and this is allegedly the first time they have not traveled together during the Christmas holidays. They were last seen together in March this year while celebrating Mariah’s 54th birthday. At that time, Bryan posted a picture of himself and Mariah on his Instagram. In the caption, he wrote, “This is one of my favorite pictures. Ever. Happy Anniversary to my Beautiful Queen. 3/27”.

Fans Noticed Bryan’s Absence From Mariah’s Instagram Profile

However, concerns about the couple breaking up intensified as it was noticed that Bryan had not been featured on Mariah’s Instagram profile since December last year. The Daily Mail reported that the “Fantasy” singer’s last post which included Bryan is allegedly from December 26, 2022. In the post, Bryan and Mariah posed cheek to cheek to celebrate Boxing Day.

The couple first met in the mid 2000s. Bryan worked as one of Mariah’s backup dancers during her “Adventures of Mimi” tour in 2006. In 2016, Bryan talked to E! News about getting together with Mariah. He said, “something connected with us back in the day and there was just a mutual admiration.”

“She saw something in me that I didn’t actually recognize at first, from that it was over. It was set in history that we were gonna be connected some way, somehow,” he added. That same year, Mariah ended her engagement with James Packer. Shortly afterwards, she and Bryan began their own relationship.  

So far, neither Mariah or Bryan have made any public statements about allegations of splitting up.

Lizzo Files Motion to Dismiss Harassment Lawsuit

Singer Lizzo has requested that Los Angeles court officials dismiss her harassment and discrimination lawsuit, according to the Los Angeles Times. The lawsuit was filed against her in September by New York designer Asha Daniels. Lizzo’s recent motion was filed on Friday in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

In the motion, Lizzo called Asha’s suit “meritless and salacious.” She also said that Asha has “no basis to seek recovery under California statutes.” Along with the “Truth Hurts” singer herself, Asha’s lawsuit listed her touring company, wardrobe manager and touring manager as co-defendants.

Lizzo Denies Allegations and Makes Claims of Her Own

In Lizzo’s motion, she alleged that Asha was a New York resident, and that her company, Big Grrrl Big Touring Inc., was based in Delaware. She also alleged that Asha “exclusively” worked on the tour in Europe. Asha’s role with Lizzo was reportedly to design costumes for the Grammy winner’s backup dancers.

Additionally, Lizzo described the designer as a “disgruntled” employee.” She went on to say that Asha allegedly “refused to comply with instructions from her supervisors and tour management.” She also alleged that Asha “failed to perform the work that she was assigned, and eventually, just played hooky and refused to show up for work.”

Asha’s attorney responded to the news of the motion in a statement shared with the LA Times. The lawyer, Ron Zambrano, dismissed the singer’s request, describing it as “yet another Hail Mary.”

He alleged that Lizzo had filed the motion “to try to shift blame to the victims.” He also made reference to another harassment lawsuit filed by three of Lizzo’s former dancers. Asha’s attorney continued by saying that “Lizzo and her lawyers can continue trying to rationalize her illegal and wretched conduct.”

“But we remain committed to seeking justice for our clients, and look forward to our day in court where Lizzo can explain her behavior in a public forum,” he added.

Asha’s Allegations Against Lizzo: A Toxic Workplace

Asha had alleged that Lizzo’s brand of body positivity, diversity and empowerment were just a facade. She also alleged that she was introduced to a “culture of racism and bullying” when she started working on Lizzo’s tour in February this year. The designer claimed that she was made to work an intense work schedule. She also detailed several alleged incidents and comments made by Lizzo’s wardrobe manager about both the singer and her dancers.

Asha then claimed that she had informed the tour manager about the comments, but that her complaints were dismissed. Asha alleged that “the toxic work environment continued without change.” She also alleged in her suit that she was fired before her contract was set to end in March 2023, among other allegations.

The lawsuit filed by Lizzo’s former dancers Crystal Williams, Arianna Davis and Noelle Rodriguez made some similar allegations as made in Asha’s lawsuit. Both lawsuits mentioned incidents involving crew members and management in Amsterdam during Lizzo’s tour. According to the LA Times, Asha is seeking a wide range of damages connected to her allegation.

These include unpaid wages, loss of earnings, deferred compensation, employment benefits, emotional distress, medical expenses and legal fees.

Zach Bryan announced on X to his fans that he had officially earned his Bachelor’s degree — and fulfilled one of his late mother’s wishes in the process.

In the post, he revealed to his fans that he had gotten his degree on December 17th, 2023. He had promised his mom a long time ago that he would do that for her.

RELATED: Kellie Pickler Update After Husband’s Tragic Death

Despite his mother’s passing, Zach still made good on his promise and passed the required exams to earn his degree. Due to Zach’s touring, he wasn’t able to attend college like other students.

He hinted at how different college life was for him in his post. He shared that he had taken his exams in the desert, while in green rooms, and before concerts. Finally, he said he had attended college while also passing through hundreds of venues.

Zach Joined the Navy When He Was 17

Zach did not disclose what college he attended or what degree he had received his Bachelor’s in. He finished off his post by saying it was going to be a good week. He initially decided not to attend college to follow in his father’s footsteps. Zach’s father, Dewayne, served in the Navy. It was why Zach was born in Okinawa, Japan, despite later being raised in Oklahoma.

Zach also joined the Navy when he was 17 years old. His Navy career ran for eight years. While he served in the Navy, Zach used the opportunity to work on writing music. At that point, he primarily made music for his own enjoyment rather than looking to perform for others.

After gaining a following for his music, he was honorably discharged from the military, and he was able to start focusing on being an artist full-time.

Zach stated in an Instagram post that the Navy honorably discharged him, so he could pursue music and attend the “Ain’t for Tamin’” tour. He also stated in the post that it hadn’t been his decision to leave the Navy, and he’d happily keep serving in the world’s greatest Navy.

Zach’s Mom Has Inspired Many of His Songs

Zach’s mother has been a muse for him, inspiring many of his songs. He even considers his mother the reason why he became involved with music in the first place. Although he only seriously started writing and performing music in 2017, he has been writing songs since the age of 14.

It was in 2017, however, that his friends started to record him performing some of the songs he had written. The friends uploaded the performances to YouTube, and Zach quickly began to attract a large fanbase.

In 2019, Zach released his debut album, which he had called DeAnn after his mother. The album was dedicated to her.

It only took two months to write the entire album. Zach and his friends recorded the songs in an Airbnb rental in Florida. He rose to fame and earned a few awards as an up-and-coming country star. At the Billboard Music Awards in 2023, he won Top New Artist and Top Rock Artist. Also, in 2023 at the Academy of Country Music Awards, Zach won New Male Artist of the Year.

Zach continues to try and make his mother proud by upholding the promises he made her years ago.
