Tori and Zach Roloff recently had to help their young daughter Lilah recover from a crazy accident at the pool. Fans were shocked to see she had gotten hurt. 

So, what happened to Lilah? Here’s what we know:

What Happened to Tori and Zach Roloff’s Daughter Lilah? 

    Zach and Tori’s daughter Lilah had been playing around a pool and had a nasty fall, as toddlers often do. Unfortunately, Lilah hurt herself pretty badly, cutting up her eyebrow in the process. 

    Tori posted about the incident on social media, mentioning how friends helped her keep calm about her daughter’s injury. According to Parade, her words were:

    “Lilah had a little accident in the pool yesterday. 

    I’m so glad she’s okay. She split her eye pretty good but luckily stitches weren’t needed but I think she’s going to have a solid scar.

    […] So grateful for friends that helped keep me calm and got [Lilah] chips which immediately calmed her down. 🤣 there was a lot of blood but they kept me calm to be able to manage it all.”

    Tori and Zach’s Other Kids’ Health Updates

      Lilah’s accident had fans a little worried about the young family. Unfortunately, they’ve had a number of health mishaps over the years, and each of their children have had a tough incident or two to get through.

      Tori and Zach‘s other children, Josiah and Jackson, have received a lot of support from fans during their own health ordeals. In Josiah’s case, he became ill around the same time that Lilah got hurt and struggled to eat. 

      Parade reported that Tori had the following to say about the situation and his recovery:

      “Josiah is honestly rocking the healing game and we just keep praying it continues to go smoothly.”

      As for Jackson, The Sun reported that Tori and Zach had been careful to accommodate his wishes when choosing to keep his hospital visits private. They later shared the details about him having had multiple leg surgeries. Although his first surgery had been televised; the second was not. 

      According to The Sun, Tori’s words about all of Jackson’s leg surgeries were:

      “He was 4 1/2 [years old], he was Lilah’s age, and he had major leg surgery…

      I’m not gonna say it was traumatic for him because it wasn’t. He was pretty easy going about it […]

      He had leg surgery, and he shared it on national television because of us…he didn’t consent to it, we decided to share it, and fast-forward two years, and he broke a screw, and he had to go in and have a second surgery. 

      And the world doesn’t know that because we didn’t share it because he asked us specifically, ‘Can we not film it?’ 

      He did not want the filmers, he called them the filmers, to come to the hospital or to be there when he got home…”

      Tori and Zach Are Grateful For The Support

        Although Tori and Zach Roloff’s kids have each had to deal with some health difficulties so far. They are all going strong, and the family appears to be thriving. 

        Tori has expressed her gratitude to their fans for having supported them all for so long in public posts. According to The Hollywood Gossip, she stated:

        “Thank you for your continued prayers and sweet notes […]”

        Hannah Gosselin’s Insane Transformation

        Hannah Gosselin’s Insane Transformation

        Jon Gosselin has been in the news a few times recently, but he’s really turning heads after he and his daughter Hannah went through a stunning transformation. Jon Gosselin was the co-star of the hit reality show Jon and Kate Plus 8 on TLC. Jon remained relatively quiet after his departure from the show, but a lot of people are wondering what he’s been up to. 

        Hannah and Jon Gosselin Are Each Other’s Accountability Partner 

        Hannah and Jon Gosselin recently sat down for an interview with Entertainment Tonight and talked about a range of topics, including their health journey. Jon was practically unrecognizable in a previous interview at the beginning of the year. 

        In the first interview back in January, Jon revealed that he weighed 235 pounds and had a goal of getting down to 175. 

        News of his weight was very shocking to fans of the original TLC show. On the show, Jon appeared to be in decent shape and was not overweight. Of course, that was 15 years ago as Jon and Kate divorced in 2009. The show continued as Kate Plus 8 for another eight years but no longer featured Jon. 

        In the January interview, Jon explains that heart disease runs in his family and he is very concerned about his health. He also said that he has led a pretty sedentary lifestyle since departing his job to DJ full-time. 

        Jon was joined by daughter Hannah in the interview, who also desires to get into better shape. 

        The two committed to supporting each other to lose weight and get into better shape. However, they weren’t on their own. Jon and Hannah went to the Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center for treatments, like ultrasonic therapy. Hannah’s boyfriend also joined the two for the interview to offer his support.

        Hannah And Jon Gosselin’s Shocking Weight Loss Transformation 

        About six months after the initial interview, Jon and Hannah sat back down with ET for a follow-up. The two revealed that they lost a combined 75 pounds

        Jon lost 50 pounds, getting him very close to his goal of 175, while Hannah lost 25 pounds. Despite not hitting his goal, Jon looks noticeably healthier, especially in his face. 

        One thing worth noting is that Jon previously said if he reached his goal, he would propose to his girlfriend. He didn’t want to spill the beans on a potential proposal, but he did say that he “has been ready for a long time.” However, he is waiting for the perfect moment. 

        Why Jon Gosselin Hasn’t Seen His Other Children In Years

        Hannah also announced support for her father’s future engagement. Unfortunately, Jon doesn’t have the support of his other children. He even said he hadn’t seen many of his children in years. 

        No one knows who is at fault for the lack of communication between Jon and his children. However, some theorize that Kate is to blame for cutting him off. 

        The two finished the interview by giving a warning to Alec and Hillaria Baldwin who have an upcoming TLC show. Jon warned him not to do it because Alec already made it and admitted he only agreed to the show for the money. With that in mind, Alec and Hillaria are already in the spotlight, so it probably won’t affect them that much. 

        ‘19 Kids and Counting’ Star Jana Duggar Moves Out

        There has been no shortage of drama in the Duggar family in recent years; including members who have since become estranged. Recently, Jana Duggar has found herself in the headlines for moving out of her family’s home and allegedly getting a boyfriend.

        The former star of “19 Kids and Counting” posted a tour of her new tiny home on YouTube on July 15. However, Jana has said that she moved out of her family’s home (i.e. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s home) “years” ago.

        It’s not entirely clear if Jana is estranged from her family, as a number of her siblings are. She did post a Mother’s Day photo with her mother Michelle this year, and the two appeared to be all smiles.

        A New Home Sweet Home For Jana Duggar 

        In the video, the 34-year-old told fans that she moved out of the famed Duggar family house in Arkansas and has moved into her new tiny house. She said that the tiny home used to be an office before she converted it into a full-functional home, and that she had been living there for several years now.

        The cozy space looks notably different from the Duggar family home. The cozy space featured a number of modern elements, including a projection screen for watching TV and films. Jana also pointed out her love for natural elements in her home.

        “I have just a few plants,” said Jana as she pointed out a hallway full of real and fake plants. “I like plants.”

        The cozy little home also featured a music area complete with a violin, a keyboard, and music literature. Jana went on to show off the rest of the house, which features modest space and a number of racks for organizing clothes.

        Is Jana Duggar Engaged?

        Engagement rumors have been swirling around since Jana posted the house tour. Just a few minutes into the video, Jana picked up a stuffed animal named Alfred and moved it. “My boyfriend gave it to me,” said Jana, before quickly saying that she was just joking.

        A few days before posting her house tour on YouTube, Jana also posted some photos on Instagram. One photo in that carousel sparked rumors that she was engaged, as the former reality TV star appeared to be boasting a diamond ring in one photo taken with her brother. Just as well, Jana was seen with a mystery man in a YouTube video from two weeks prior that documented a renovation project.

        However, the ring appeared to be missing during the YouTube house tour.

        “She sounds like a completely different person,” said one commenter on Reddit following the house tour video. “She is definitely engaged.”

        When it comes down to it, Jana Duggar has never admitted to having a public relationship, though there have been quite a few rumors in the past about men she has supposedly dated. One of which included a pilot named Stephen in 2021. Whether or not Jana is actually engaged is still all speculation. But if she is engaged, that is some great news for the former reality TV star!

        The Truth About Eddie Murphy’s New Wife

        Eddie Murphy recently dropped an unexpected bombshell during a podcast interview, when he referred to his longtime fiancée, Paige Butcher, as his wife. It turns out that they really did get married during a private ceremony in July.

        Since the couple has always been pretty quiet about their relationship, most people don’t know a whole lot about Paige. But the details surrounding her past romances and the dynamic she has with Eddie and his kids are seriously crazy.

        RELATED: Jon Schneider Marriage Update After Wife’s Death

        According to People Magazine, Eddie tied the knot with Paige, an Australian model, on July 9. Their ceremony ended a nearly 6-year engagement, but they’ve actually been together for almost 12 years. This means when they first started dating, Eddie was 51, while Paige was 33. 

        The couple shares two children, an 8-year-old daughter, Izzy, and a 5-year-old son, Max. However, Eddie has 8 other kids with 4 different women. That makes Paige his fifth baby mama. She’s only 10 years older than his oldest child, Eric, who is 34 years old. 

        Paige Has an Interesting Dating History

        Even though she doesn’t have any other children and her marriage to Eddie is her first, her relationship history is still pretty fascinating. 

        According to Heavy, Paige was briefly linked to fellow model Tyson Beckford in 2009. However, when Tyson was interviewed by DJ Vlad in 2021, he claimed that he and Paige started dating in 2007. 

        He said that at first, they had an on-and-off type of relationship, but what happened next was unbelievable. Despite what many online reports have stated about Paige and Tyson’s supposed brief fling, it sounds like they tried to be in a relationship for quite a while. 

        Tyson explained that in 2008, he and Paige restarted their romance. For some unknown reason, it ended the following year for good.

        Even though things didn’t work out between Tyson and Paige, he had nothing but positive things to say about her. He called her amazing and said that she has a good spirit and a good heart. Not only that, but he also mentioned that Eddie is “a lucky guy to keep” Paige in his life.

        Heavy also reported that after Paige and Tyson went their separate ways, she started dating music mogul Russell Simmons in 2010. Their relationship came to an end in 2011, one year before Paige and Eddie began dating. 

        Paige Is Very Close with Eddie’s Kids

        Obviously, Eddie and Paige have been together for a while now. However, there’s an age gap of almost 20 years between them and he already had so many kids.

        Not surprisingly, a lot of people have wondered how Paige felt about dating a much older family man and ultimately taking on the role of stepmother to his 8 children.  

        But according to what a source told People Magazine in 2018, Paige is extremely family-oriented, just like Eddie. The insider added that she “is very close with Eddie’s kids” and is a super involved mom.

        The source also claimed that Paige and Eddie’s blended family is very special. They spend a lot of time together. They allegedly love gathering for holidays, and even go on vacations together as a big group. 

        Not to mention, Paige has made numerous public appearances with Eddie’s children over the years. She was just spotted at an event recently with some of his kids, and their body language spoke volumes.

        ABC News reported that Paige showed her support for Eddie when she attended the world premiere of Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F in June. The couple was joined by three of Eddie’s daughters, Bella, Bria, and Shayne Audra. When they posed for photos, all five of them gathered closely and put their arms around each other. 

        Paige Keeps Eddie “on a Tight Leash”

        Even though Paige seemingly has close relationships with Eddie’s kids, how she gets along with his exes is a different story. According to People Magazine, Paige and Eddie attended the premiere of his daughter Bria’s movie, Amateur Night, in July 2016. However, Bria’s mother and Eddie’s ex-wife, Nicole Murphy, also showed up to the event to support her daughter. 

        What happened when Paige, the former couple, and their daughters all ended up in the same area together was unreal. Believe it or not, the five of them smiled as they posed for pictures together and even wrapped their arms around each other. Judging by the photos taken that night, Paige and Nicole didn’t appear to have any issues with one another.

        Apparently, Eddie’s friends may have mixed feelings about Paige, and the reason why is honestly insane. According to what sources recently told Radar Online, Paige rules the household and supposedly keeps Eddie “on a tight leash.” 

        One insider explained that he’s “been well trained” and doesn’t hesitate when she expects him to help with household chores. Not only that, but Eddie reportedly covers the cost of the bills and pretty much everything else. 

        However, sources alleged that he’s fine with paying for it all and is happy that Paige keeps him in line. One insider added that he supposedly loves her “no-nonsense attitude” and wouldn’t change anything about their home life. She seems to balance out his joking personality, as seen in his many interviews.

        Another source claimed that Eddie’s friends can’t believe that he lets Paige call all of the shots in their house. They reportedly joke behind his back about how he’s such “a henpecked pushover” now since they never thought he would be a yes-man to anybody. Even though his friends are somewhat puzzled by how drastically different he is from the ‘old’ Eddie, the insider said that “if he’s happy, they’re happy too.”

        Paige Volunteered with Habitat for Humanity

        Based on what Paige has previously mentioned, it sounds like she’s always enjoyed having tasks to do and being active. In a 2013 interview with Vanity Fair, Paige admitted that she likes to stay busy. Her favorite hobbies involve being outdoors. 

        She said that she really loves gardening and furniture restoration. But it turns out that her passion is building things, which she discovered in a truly incredible way.

        Paige explained that when she started volunteering with Habitat for Humanity, she learned a lot while building houses for people in need. She added that she knows how to set up electrical wiring, lay drywall, pave brick paths, and so much more. 

        Paige admitted that she’s a perfectionist, and has even spent months building her own structures at home. She recently finished constructing a cabana-style hut with a grass roof, complete with curtains on the windows and a TV.

        Even though Paige has picked up quite a few skills from Habitat for Humanity, that’s not why she decided to help them build houses. 

        In a video uploaded by the Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles’ YouTube channel in 2013, she explained the real reason she volunteers. Paige added that everybody deserves to have a home. She loves being able to help build houses that people will feel safe and comfortable living in. 

        She also told Vanity Fair that she helps out at homeless shelters and Wheels for Humanity as well, where she restores donated wheelchairs for people in need who are living in third-world countries. Paige genuinely seems like a very caring person, even if Eddie’s friends think she’s too strict with him sometimes. 

        Paige Has No Social Media

        There is a bit of a mysterious side to her as well, mainly because she has no interest in publicly sharing any details surrounding her personal life or marriage that people can’t already find out about online. Paige revealed during the interview that she had deleted all of her social media accounts quite a while ago. She explained that because of her relationship with Eddie, she felt like there are plenty of details about her in the public eye, as it is. 

        It wasn’t just Paige’s romance with Eddie that made her want to delete her profiles, though. She claimed that her posts were boring anyway since she never shared anything other than her volunteer work. Because she prefers “to keep as much private as possible,” it just made sense to her to get rid of social media altogether. 

        Even though Paige and Eddie just recently got married, they’ve spent the last 12 years building an incredible life together. It sounds like she has great relationships with his children, gets along with his exes, and appreciates their big, happy family just as much as he does.  

        Iman Shumpert Mocks Teyana Taylor Divorce

        Basketball wives are known for starting drama, but sometimes their husbands are just as bad. Iman Shumpert recently went after his ex-wife while performing a skit. The two had a pretty messy divorce, so the video appeared to be his way of moving on. Still, he clearly isn’t happy about how much he had to pay Teyana

        Iman and Teyana married in October 2016 after much media speculation. Rumors had already swirled that the couple had secretly gotten married. The rumor gained more credibility after Teyana insinuated that they may already be married during an appearance on The Wendy Williams Show just weeks before the couple actually got married. 

        From Picture-Perfect Marriage To Divorce 

        Teyana and Iman have two daughters. The eldest was born in 2015 and the youngest in 2020. In September 2023, Teyana and Iman officially announced that they were getting divorced

        Since the announcement, things have gotten pretty heated between the two. What was once seen as an amicable split quickly turned into pandemonium as the couple took shots at each other. 

        Teyana even posted “We are still the best of friends, great business partners, and are one hell of a team when it comes to co-parenting our 2 beautiful children” to Instagram last year. It appears that the ensuing court battle really took its toll as the two began to take jabs at each other going into 2024. 

        Teyana Taylor Said Iman Was ‘Treating Her Cruelly …’ 

        Despite announcing their split in September 2023, Teyana actually filed for divorce in January. Court documents filed by Teyana state the reason for the divorce as Iman was “treating her cruelly and displaying extreme narcissistic behavior throughout the majority of their marriage.”

        At some point during the year, Iman petitioned the court to change the reason to “irretrievably broken.” Interestingly, the two kept quiet about their split for so long. 

        There were also rumors dating back to 2022 that Iman cheated on Teyana, but the allegations of mistreatment were new. It’s clear that Iman didn’t take kindly to Teyana’s allegations, or the fact that a Fulton County judge sided with his ex. 

        After more than a year of waiting, the divorce was finalized in June. However, Iman had to pay Teyana over $1,000,000 as well as contribute $8,000 per month in child support. 

        Iman’s Diss Skit Towards Teyana Taylor

        The settlement prompted Iman to create a video, which he posted on Instagram on July 15. 

        In the video, Iman is seen getting into his car before social media star Trenel Adams jumps in it and tells him “Hold on man, hold on man, you gave that lady a million dollars, man, You can’t afford this no more.” At the end, Trenel yells “Repo man” as he is seen driving off. 

        Iman and Trenel never call Teyana out by name, but it’s obvious they are talking about her with the million-dollar settlement. 

        The video turned out to be a massive hit, pulling in over 20,000 likes in less than a day. This wasn’t the first skit that Iman and Trenel did together, and it probably won’t be the last.

        Tiffany Haddish Speaks Out About Common and Jennifer Hudson

        Recently in an interview, rapper and actor Common said if he was ever going to get married, it would be to his current partner, actress and singer Jennifer Hudson. In response to the comment, his ex-girlfriend Tiffany Haddish took to social media to make a comment.

        For a bit of backstory, Tiffany Haddish, who is an accomplished actress and stand-up comedian, briefly dated Common from mid-2020 to late 2021. They first met during filming for “The Kitchen” which is a movie the pair starred in together that released in 2019. While it started as a platonic friendship between the two, it eventually developed into a romantic relationship over the years.

        Tiffany said that Common had tried to date her for a while before she eventually agreed to try it out. However, it was short-lived as the relationship barely lasted a year before it ended. She had said the breakup wasn’t mutual as she claimed it was Common who said that the relationship had run its course.

        How Did Common And Jennifer Hudson Meet And Start Dating? 

        Soon after it ended, he starred in the movie “Breathe” alongside talented singer and actress Jennifer Hudson, who got her start in the industry on American Idol and wowed audiences with her role in the movie “Dreamgirls” in 2006, which won her an Oscar.

        After they met filming the movie, the pair eventually began dating, but didn’t fully confirm their relationship until January 2024. According to Common, the relationship has been wonderful and unlike any other he’s had.

        During a recent interview, Common spoke about his connection to Jennifer. Specifically, he said “With all due respect to all the women I’ve dated… it’s all love, but this is a really healthy and beautiful relationship…” 

        He also likes that they both hail from Chicago, as he said that “I’m going to be real real with you, like, having a lady just from Chicago allows me to go home and just be home.” He said that being able to go home and just relax and recharge without worrying about work, which ultimately helped him with the new album he recently released.

        Did Tiffany Haddish Throw Shade At Common And J-Hud? 

        Common also said that if he were to ever get married, it’d be to Jennifer Hudson. The interview where he said these things was shared on social media, and caught the eye of his ex, Tiffany Haddish.

        Someone in the comments posted “well there he said it he wants to marry her he aint neva said that about no woman b4.” In response to this, Tiffany posted “EXACTLY! I hope they actually get married..”

        While some people think this is Tiffany throwing shade at Common, according to her, this couldn’t be further from the truth. She’s said she was happy for Common and his new relationship, and has also said that she loves Jennifer and hopes that the pair is having fun.

        In the end, it seems like Common and Jennifer are in a happy and loving relationship, and that his ex Tiffany is happy for the pair and hopes the best for them.

        Brandy’s Mom Sonja Exposes Kim Kardashian As a Scammer

        While the Kardashian family is known for their reality TV shows now, many may have overlooked some of the darker elements of their past. That’s coming up again as Brandy’s mom, Sonja Norwood, exposes the family for credit card fraud.

        More specifically, Sonja is focusing on Kim Kardashian’s unauthorized credit card use of more than $120,000. This happened back when Kim worked as Brandy’s stylist.

        Kim Kardashian and Siblings Accused of Credit Card Fraud

        Sonja shares that when Kim was Brandy’s stylist, Sonja gave Kim her credit card. It was to make one specific purchase, and from there, Kim used the credit card in 2004. She also reportedly gave her siblings the credit card number, allowing Khloe, Kourtney, and Rob to make purchases.

        Eventually, the four siblings charged more than $120,000 to the credit card without permission. They allegedly claimed to be employed by Brandy and Sonja, allowing them to make the purchases. These purchases were for their own stores, Dash & Smooch.

        Kim was not the only employee of Brandy at the time. Khloe also worked as Brandy’s assistant in the later 2000s. The purchases date back to 2006 and 2007, which is well after the initial purchase in 2004, covering one American Express card with totals of more than $62,000 and then $57,000 in the respective years. Some of those purchases were made after the two Kardashian sisters stopped working for Brandy.

        It is worth noting that in 2007, Kim and Sonja’s son, Ray J, were together. This was the time of their infamous sex tape leak. Keeping Up with the Kardashians debuted later that year, giving the reality stars time to climb up the ranks of celebrity status.

        Sonja Norwood Requested $825,000 In Damages

        Sonja says that she requested that the money be paid back. When that didn’t happen, she filed the lawsuit. That lawsuit was eventually dropped in June 2009, with Sonja requesting that the suit be “dropped with prejudice,” according to OK Magazine. This would suggest that the suit was settled out of court. Sonja had requested $825,000 in damages along with 10% in interest for each year.

        Everything came back up in 2021 due to a Twitter thread at the time, according to Screen Rant. While fans pointed out that Kim and Khloe admitted that they used the credit card to stock their Dash & Smooch stores when they were just starting out, Kim said that she never used the card without permission.

        However, the Kardashian family lawyer says that the four siblings did nothing wrong at the time, sharing that the family looked forward to being able to prove all this in court. That never happened due to the way the suit was dismissed. Due to the dismissal of the case, it cannot be refiled or appealed by either party.

        The two families have never spoken out about this since the lawsuit was dismissed. They also refuse to comment when asked about it by publications, which could hint at an NDA being used at the time of settling.

        The Truth About Vanessa Simmons and Michael Wayans

        The Truth About Vanessa Simmons and Michael Wayans

        Some couples stay together for so long that the public can even start to doubt if they are still a couple at all. 

        This can be both a blessing and a curse.

        On the one hand, having such a solid relationship that it never makes any headlines must mean that it’s built on a strong foundation.

        On the other hand, it leaves the door open for rumors to creep in from the outside.

        Vanessa Simmons and Mike Wayans’ Low-Profile 20-Year Relationship

        Vanessa Simmons has always been committed to keeping her romantic life away from the cameras.

        Her most high-profile relationship started around two decades ago, when she began seeing Mike Wayans, son of comic actor Damon Wayans.

        But are they still together?

        In the ever-changing world of show business, Vanessa and Mike have somehow managed to keep their relationship going strong for almost twenty years. 

        According to Distractify, they started dating in 2005 and have reportedly not looked back. 

        It is only “reportedly” because there is such little visual evidence of the two together that fans have to rely on scarce media reports to stay informed on their situation. 

        Vanessa Said ‘Relationships Are Hard As It Is …’ 

        You might expect that such well-known public figures in a relationship might be more exposed to the bright lights and cameras. 

        But for Vanessa and Michael, keeping a low profile has always been a super important goal. 

        As a rule, Mike does not make appearances on Vanessa’s reality show Growing Up Hip Hop.

        Vanessa gave a pretty blunt explanation for this, as reported in Heavy in 2019.

        She said, “Relationships are hard as it is. Adding the public to it can get more messy. I just try to keep as low a profile as I can and focus on my work.”

        Vanessa Wants To Keep Her Daughter’s Life Normal 

        But maybe even more crucially, keeping media attention at bay is important for the couple to be able to raise their daughter the way they want to. 

        As Vanessa told Bossip, having people judge everything about your personal life is hard, let alone your family’s.

        She went on to say that she wanted to keep her daughter Ava’s life as normal as possible for as long as she could.

        Despite her commitment to privacy, Vanessa has on occasion let slip some details about her life with Mike.

        And some of her remarks are what has led fans to start having some questions about their relationship. 

        In an interview with Entertainment Tonight in 2017, Vanessa revealed why she and Mike have so far only had one child.

        According to the reality star, it was all about proper communication. 

        She said that the biggest thing for her and Mike when it came to Ava was making sure they were on the same page about everything.

        Why Vanessa and Mike Decided To Not Have More Kids

        But although Vanessa and Mike sound like they have a handle on parenting, they made a conscious decision not to have any more kids. 

        And the reason why might come as a surprise. 

        According to Vanessa, the couple agreed that they wouldn’t have any more children until they were married. 

        This interview came out in 2017, around 12 years into their relationship. 

        But by that point, Mike hadn’t even asked Vanessa to marry him.

        Even today, the couple are yet to get engaged. 

        Based on that, it could be that the couple have changed their minds about having more kids.

        But in her interview, Vanessa seemed very confident that marriage and more children were in their future together.

        She told ET, “Dealing with a 3 year old is very challenging, but I think eventually yes, after Mike and I tie the knot,” meaning that she was sure that this would eventually happen.

        Fans Speak Out On Vanessa And Mike’s Relationship

        Before and after the intriguing interview, fans have had their say online about the situation with Vanessa and her partner. 

        Many have decided to praise women like Vanessa for being beautiful, successful, and talented all while holding down a steady long-term relationship. 

        However, others are more concerned that Vanessa is not being treated properly. 

        One commenter wrote that both partners had previously expressed interest in getting married, and yet there was no ring in sight. 

        Now, obviously, there are plenty of couples that don’t see marriage as particularly important for their love for each other or for starting a family. 

        But based on Vanessa’s own words, she is someone who values marriage and feels that it’s an important step to take before having any more kids. 

        How Vanessa Feels About Having Ava Child Out Of Wedlock

        What’s more, she previously opened up about her feelings regarding having Ava while still unmarried. 

        In 2014, she allegedly said in an interview with Essence, “There’s this whole idea of first comes the marriage then the baby carriage so I was so nervous.”

        But what allegedly made her less nervous was her expectation that a wedding would soon follow the birth of her daughter. 

        She even said that she and Mike had had conversations about it. 

        Vanessa stated, “Of course we talk about that and it’s looking good.”

        Vanessa Simmons’ Dream Wedding

        At the time, the only thing that Vanessa claimed was stopping her from speeding up her plans was that she didn’t want to be pregnant when she walked down the aisle. 

        She even opened up about knowing exactly what kind of wedding she wanted. 

        Not only did she dream of having a big beautiful wedding, but she also wanted it to be a destination wedding, meaning it took place somewhere exotic. 

        She also stated her desire to show off her figure in a long flowing dress.

        Why Won’t Michael Wayans Put A Ring On It?

        From the way she spoke in 2014, Vanessa sounded like she had it all planned out, and very little meant more to her than becoming Mike’s wife.

        But ten years down the road, the couple are still in the exact same spot, and therefore have not had any more kids like Vanessa so obviously wanted. 

        Could this be due to reluctance on Mike’s part, even though they’ve been together so long?

        Because the couple are so determined to keep private matters private, we’ll probably never know. 

        Vanessa’s Success In The Entertainment Industry

        But although her personal life is shrouded in mystery and seems to have reached a fixed point, Vanessa has continued to forge ahead in her professional life. 

        She has done acting, appearing on shows like Guiding Light and movies like Boogie Town.

        She was also the host of a couple of shows, including Project Runway: Threads.

        On top of that, she also worked as a model at one point.

        She was even included in Maxim Magazine’s Hot List in 2006.

        Vanessa Simmons Is A Successful Entrepreneur

        As well as a model and an actor, Vanessa is also a very good businesswoman.

        She has an alleged estimated net worth of about $8 million.

        She owns the skincare line Sugar Me.

        She also has her own clothing brand called Glitter and Lace.

        And she and her sister Angela have the footwear line Pastry together.

        In 2021, Pastry was actually named the best dance sneaker in the United States.

        Vanessa and Angela partner with a bunch of NBA dance teams, as well as NFL teams.

        Despite coming from a wealthy and famous family, Vanessa has wasted no time in carving out her own path and living her own life.

        With that being the case, she probably doesn’t really care what anyone thinks about her relationship with her baby daddy.

        Josh Hall has filed for divorce from Christina Hall after almost three years of marriage. It’s time to delve into the truth of the matter. Why are they splitting up?

        The couple married privately on Oct. 6, 2021, just months after going public with their relationship in July of the same year. They then celebrated with family and friends in September 2022. Despite Christina praising Josh as her “ride or die,” the two are now splitting up.

        Josh and Christina Hall’s Marital Troubles 

        Christina was previously married to her former Flip or Flop co-star Tarek El Moussa. Then she married the Celebrity IOU: Joyride host Ant Anstead. She has 13-year-old Taylor and eight-year-old Brayden with El Moussa and four-year-old Hudson with Anstead.

        Recently, Christina shared how Josh is a great stepfather to her children. She also viewed him as a protector and provider.

        However, things have not been great for the two of them, according to PEOPLE. A source shared that the two have experienced marital troubles for “quite some time.” That source didn’t go into any of the details, but another source confirmed that Christina is also filing for divorce from Josh now that the news is out.

        ‘Irreconcilable Differences’ Is Cause For Josh and Christina Hall’s Divorce 

        The legal documents say that the divorce is due to “irreconcilable differences.” Josh is asking for spousal support from Christina, focusing on the fact that she has other shows such as Christina in the Country and Christina on the Coast. However, Christina is taking steps to minimize this, focusing on how Josh has an income of his own and should be able to support himself.

        However, Christina shares there is more to the story. According to Entertainment Tonight, Christina says that Josh diverted $35,000 of her own rental property income to his own account. This happened after Josh filed for divorce, and Christina wants that money back, as the money is used for the upkeep, taxes, and other financial obligations linked to the rental properties.

        Christina also claims that Josh continually plugs security cameras back in after Christina removes them. This is to keep track of Christina and her children, which she is not comfortable with.

        What Will Happen with The Flip Off?

        Now questions about The Flip Off are arising. The Halls were going to go head-to-head with El Moussa and his wife in the new series. Is it possible that this show is one of the reasons the Halls have faced marital problems?

        Christina and her ex, El Moussa, filmed Flip or Flop for several seasons after their split. They continue to co-parent well together, and they are now in a place where they can film together once more. Is it possible that their relationship is causing problems for the Halls?

        HGTV has not commented on what is happening with the new series. As Christina has already proven her ability to work with an ex on screen, it is possible that the series will still go ahead. This will likely depend on the relationship between the couple as the divorce proceedings start.

        What Kelly Ripa Did to Shannen Doherty Before Her Death

        Shannen Doherty recently passed away after battling stage 4 cancer for years. Shortly before her passing, she had a shocking interaction with Kelly Ripa when she was a guest on Live with Kelly and Mark

        So what exactly happened between the two women? The truth about what Kelly really did and the impact it had on Shannen is honestly crazy.

        According to People Magazine, in February, Shannen opened up about something she had been keeping to herself for two months. On an episode of her podcast, Let’s Be Clear with Shannen Doherty, she revealed that when she was a guest on Live with Kelly and Mark in December 2023, Kelly had made some startling remarks to her off-camera.

        Shannen’s Interview Started Off Terribly

        During Shannen’s on-stage interview, she was extremely vulnerable with Kelly and Mark about some really sensitive topics in her life. It turns out that Kelly was waiting until a commercial break to say her piece because she clearly didn’t want what she had to say to be caught on camera. 

        Shannen admitted that 2023 had started off in a terrible way. She explained that in January, her doctors had discovered growths in her brain, and some of them were really large. 

        So, about a week later, she had brain surgery to remove one of the masses. The tests ultimately confirmed that the tumors were cancerous. 

        Shannen claimed that at around the same time she learned the cancer had spread to her brain, she also had to deal with some serious issues in her marriage. But after her interview wrapped and the show cut to a commercial break, Kelly took the opportunity to talk to her about something seriously unexpected.   

        Shannen revealed that Kelly had actually offered to be her matchmaker. Then, she asked a lot of questions about what Shannen was looking for in a man and even mentioned that she potentially had “somebody in mind” for her already. 

        Shannen was immediately on board and told Kelly to text her more about it. She added that Kelly was “awesome,” and “100 percent the right person” to help set her up with somebody. 

        Shannen Went Through a Divorce While Battling Cancer

        Kelly had obviously known that she needed some positivity in her life. Shannen’s battle against cancer was stressful enough on its own, but what she had hinted at during her interview was emotionally exhausting as well. 

        According to Entertainment Tonight, Shannen filed for divorce from Kurt Iswarienko in April 2023, after 11 years of marriage. 

        Shortly before she appeared on Live with Kelly and Mark, she revealed, on an episode of her podcast, that they had separated after she made an outrageous discovery. Shannen claimed that just days before she was scheduled to be at the hospital for her brain surgery in January, she found out that Kurt had allegedly been having an affair for two years. 

        She added that he wanted to be at the hospital while she had the operation, but she shut him down. Shannen said that after she learned that Kurt had reportedly been cheating on her, she felt too betrayed and “completely unloved” to let him be her support person at the hospital. 

        The emotional pain she felt was overwhelming. So, Kelly’s offer to be her matchmaker couldn’t have come at a better time.

        Shannen Felt That She Would Be a “Hard Sell”

        A few months after Shannen shared what had happened behind the scenes at Live With Kelly and Mark, she made an appearance on an episode of Kelly’s podcast, Let’s Talk Off Camera. Throughout their conversation, Shannen discussed the challenges she had been facing. Kelly not only validated her feelings but showed her so much kindness as well.  

        Shannen explained that she had recently started taking a different type of medication to try to treat some of her cancer symptoms. Unfortunately, she had been experiencing difficult side effects and was feeling pretty sick that day. 

        Kelly sympathized with Shannen and told her that she looked beautiful. She also mentioned that she was still looking for a man to set her up with, although she had one guy in mind that she thought could be exactly who Shannen needed in her life. 

        Kelly claimed that the man was nice, established, a little bit older, and rich. Shannen jokingly replied that she was already interested in him, but then, she made a devastating confession. 

        Shannen admitted that she thought of herself as “a very hard sell” in the dating world due to having stage 4 cancer. She believed that it would be tough for any potential partners to want to be in a relationship with her because she “might have an expiration date.” 

        Shannen Was in a Dark Place

        But then, she brought up another concern she had that was truly heartbreaking. Shannen said she wasn’t exactly sure how she felt about getting back into the dating world. She didn’t know if she was ready to get into a relationship because it had only been a little over a year since she filed for divorce. 

        She also mentioned that the reason why they split up had impacted her mental health in a very intense way. Shannen explained that after she discovered Kurt had allegedly been having an affair, she was “really in a dark place” for about nine months. She added that it wasn’t until recently that she felt like she had “completely recovered,” and realized that she no longer had feelings for him.

        Even though she didn’t love him anymore, she was still hesitant about dating, and the reason why was seriously sad. Shannen revealed that she had always struggled with feeling insecure.

        But she had been feeling more self-conscious lately because she had a lot of scars from the surgeries she’d had. She said she didn’t know how she would explain them to a love interest in the future. 

        Life Handed Shannen Lemons

        Shannen also opened up about how she had recently been extremely depressed and had been finding it hard to get out of her own head. She explained that a lot of people had been telling her about their relatives who had been diagnosed with the same type of cancer as her. 

        Shannen added that many would mention that their family member had passed away around five years after they were diagnosed. She knew those people were only trying to relate to her, but it was really difficult to hear, especially since she was approaching the five-year mark of being diagnosed.  

        Kelly asked Shannen if she had been talking to a therapist to try to relieve some of that mental burden. Shannen claimed that she considered it, but she had such a hard time trusting people that she didn’t think it was for her. 

        How Kelly responded was honestly unbelievable. Kelly told Shannen that if she ever wanted to talk, she could call her anytime. 

        She also said that she was going to send her a funny card that she had purchased a while ago. She explained that it was perfect for the type of situation that Shannen had just talked about.

        What it said was absolutely unreal. Kelly revealed that inside the card, it read, ‘When life hands you lemons, I promise not to tell you a story about how my mother passed away from lemons.’ 

        Shannen said that the card was amazing, and she was going to frame it after she received it in the mail. Sadly, about two weeks after the podcast episode aired, Shannen passed away. 

        Kelly Shared the Dreadful News

        According to Decider, Kelly shared the news, which she referred to as “dreadful,” on Live with Kelly and Mark. She also honored her late friend’s memory by speaking about what an incredible person she was. Kelly revealed that Shannen “lived her life the way she fought cancer – courageously.” 

        She added that she was thankful to have had the chance to talk to her recently when she was a guest on Let’s Talk Off Camera, and shared the story of the card she had sent.  Kelly said that even if someone didn’t know Shannen, they still felt like they did because of how special she was. She called her “a girl’s girl,” who was one of a kind, and admitted that she was “so sad to lose her.” 

        Shannen’s passing must have been absolutely tragic for Kelly. Fortunately, it sounds like she was able to make Shannen’s day so much brighter anytime they talked. Considering everything that she went through in the last year and a half, Kelly’s kindness clearly meant a lot to her.
