Zac Efron recently suffered a medical incident while swimming in a pool in Spain, which worried fans around the world. Thankfully, he ended up being okay. He recently broke his silence on the incident and let his fans and the public know how he’s been doing since the accident.

What Is Zac Efron Known For?

While many people were first introduced to Zac Efron thanks to his role in “High School Musical” in the mid-2000s, he’s transitioned his fame into several other acting roles over the years. This includes roles in Hairspray, The Iron Claw, Neighbors, Baywatch, and several other well-known films. Zac has also won numerous awards throughout the years for his work in TV and film.

After a very busy last few years filming movies and shows, he decided to take a well-earned trip to Europe for vacation and visit numerous locations, including the Olympic Games, where he attended the Opening Ceremony. He also made a stop in the beautiful island of Mykonos in Greece. Zac was also seen on-stage with musical artist Martin Garrix (who is also a close friend) during a show in Ibiza at the beginning of August.

Zac ‘Showed Signs Of Distress’

However, on this trip, Zac went through a harrowing medical experience that could have ended incredibly poorly. While swimming in a pool in Ibiza, Spain, he reportedly dove too deep into the pool, and hit his chest on the bottom of the pool, and began to almost drown, as his lungs began to fill with water.

After eventually getting out of the water, he was taken to the hospital as a precaution so he could be checked and some tests could be done to see the extent of his injuries. According to sources, he took in a lot of water into his lungs and “showed signs of distress”. He was also dazed for a moment after the event, too.

After getting an X ray and some imaging done, it thankfully showed that the water had passed through his lungs, and he wasn’t in any danger. While he was free to leave the hospital after being cleared, he decided to stay for a few more hours, as photographers and reporters were waiting for him as they figured out he was in the hospital and which one he was at.

Zac Efron: ‘Happy and Healthy’

After eventually leaving, he posted an Instagram story showing himself lifting some weights while laying on an exercise ball in the sun. The photo was also accompanied by the phrase “Happy and Healthy”, which let fans breathe a sigh of relief that everything was okay with him. He also gave his thanks for the many well wishes that came his way once people heard what had happened to him.

So it seems that Zac Efron is completely fine after this scare and is back to enjoying his vacation with his friends, though there’s no doubt how serious this incident could have been, and it serves as a cautionary tale to be careful when swimming and diving.

JLO is Spiraling

JLo and Ben seem to be on slightly different pages following their separation. She may be missing him more than she lets on. 

Is she staging events to get back into the limelight now that they have separated? Maybe. 

Here’s what we know:

Did she stage a photoshoot? 

    JLo was caught biking around in the Hamptons with family and friends on what many have called a photo-op. She seemed to be enjoying the beach vibes of the location and getting some ice cream at the time. 

    But, some are convinced she staged a paparazzi photo shoot for the outing, given the picture-perfect look of the place and the stylish attire she chose for the bike ride. According to MSN, Whitney Port had the following to say about the incident:

    “Candy Kitchen in Bridgehampton … is so special that I’m pretty sure J. Lo the other day was riding her bike to get a scoop of ice cream for a paparazzi shot.”

    She went on to describe the entire scene with JLo as weird and she alleged JLo must have showed up for the picturesque exterior of the building. She also claimed JLo needed the photo shoot to show that she can still turn heads in the right settings.

    According to MSN, Tim Rosenman chimed in on the situation as well, stating:

    “She’s already as famous as you can be. Why does she need to stoke the flames of her own fame.”

    Ben is Beaming 

      In contrast to JLo, many have noted that Ben Affleck has been looking much happier than usual. In fact, Yahoo reported that Ben was seen sporting a spectacular smile on his face shortly after spending some time with JLo in his rental home. Are the two reuniting? Probably not. But, he did look a lot happier than he has since their initial separation.

      Commenters on Yahoo had a lot to say about how Ben looked, going so far as to claim he actually looks the best he has looked in a long time because he has had plenty of time away from JLo. One posted the following:

      “Ben looks Amazing, younger, less stressed, his new haircut and clean face radiates a whole new energy looks stronger than before. His son Samuel is his mini me. Glad to see Ben looking happy.”

      She’s Committed to the Kids

        JLo and Ben may have separated, but her relationship with their kids appears to be as strong as ever. She was seen visiting Ben’s home and taking his son Samuel out shopping at the mall, according to In Style.

        A source for the publication explained how her commitment to their kids is likely to continue indefinitely, despite their breakup. The source touched on how she prioritized blending their families so that all five of their kids could be close. They also pointed out that she makes the most of the time they have together before they all head off to school.

        The relationship between JLo and Ben is likely to keep being a bit confusing for a while, though. NY Post reported that the film “Unstoppable”, which Ben produced, features JLo as well, so they’ll still be around each other for some time to come.

        Who is Stephen Wissmann

        Photo cred: Jana Duggar Instagram

        Jana Duggar shocked the world this week when she got married out of nowhere on Thursday, August 15th, 2024.

        Although rumors had swirled for months around a possible engagement after she posted photos on Instagram with a ring on her hand, she had never confirmed or denied that she was in a relationship or planning a wedding.

        That all changed on August 15th, though, when the news leaked that she had filed for a wedding certificate in Arkansas.

        But everyone couldn’t help but wonder- who exactly is her husband?

        Well, his name is Stephen Wissmann. And we’ve actually uncovered a lot of information about him, which is pretty shocking, considering just how secretive their relationship has been over the years.

        Yes, you read that right.

        Jana and Stephen have secretly been in an on and off relationship for years. And you’ll never believe all of the information that’s been uncovered about him since news of their wedding dropped. Stephen Wissmann is originally from Nebraska, and he’s 31 years old, making him three years younger than his new bride, Jana.

        How Jana and Stephen Met

        According to the People Magazine exclusive featuring their wedding, Jana and Stephen met years ago when she was about 21 years old and he was about 18 years old.Stephen’s family had been visiting the Duggars and got snowed in, but Jana hadn’t paid much attention to Stephen at that time.

        Instead, the two connected years later, towards the end of 2020. Rumors first began about a possible relationship between Jana and Stephen during the Christmas season in 2020. The Wissmann family posted a blog about how they celebrated Christmas, and in the blog post, there was a picture of Jana and Stephen sitting next to each other by the Christmas tree, meaning she had spent Christmas in Nebraska with the Wissmann family.

        Then, a few months later, a fan captured a picture of Jana and Stephen hanging out together at a fair. And then, as further proof, Jana’s sister, Jessa, posted a vlog around this same time that showed Jana and Stephen eating next to each other at the Duggar kitchen table. It seemed as though Jana was on her way to a quick wedding, just like all her siblings.

        RELATED NEWS: Jinger Duggar Exposes Parents

        Until her brother, Josh, got arrested for CSAM.

        Around that time, Jana and Stephen’s relationship seemed to end. Some speculated that Jana and Stephen were never actually courting, but rather, they were both serving as chaperones for their siblings, as Jana’s brother, Jeremiah, married Stephen’s sister, Hannah, in March 2022.

        However, Jana admitted in the People Magazine feature that they had been dating in 2020 and 2021, but had broken up and reconnected at the beginning of 2024. To fans, Jana and Stephen always seemed like a good match, and they were thrilled to learn that they had reconnected.

        And if you’re wondering just who Stephen is outside of his relationship with Jana, there’s actually a lot of information out there about him for someone who’s lived a private life until now.

        Stephen is the 8th child of the 13 Wissman siblings, meaning that he comes from a big family, just like Jana. He and his family were in a traveling family band while he was growing up, performing all over the country, which is a very common occurrence with families in the Duggars’ social circles. Because of his family’s band, the family kept up a blog with biographies for each of the 13 children.

        In his biography, it states that he enjoys being a pilot- just like Jana’s twin brother, John David- and he’s also the assistant manager of Wissmann Enterprises, Inc., his family’s business. Already, he seems like a perfect match for Jana. On top of that, he enjoys making small furniture, and everyone who knows Jana knows that she loves home renovations, interior design, and everything that comes along with that.

        He also directs his family’s music arrangements and plays the mandolin in the family band, which lines up perfectly with Jana’s love for playing the piano. Overall, he seems like a perfect match for Jana, who was known for being the eldest unmarried Duggar child. It seems like her search for Mr. Right has paid off, though, because it seems like they’re a match made in heaven.

        Jana shared that the two plan to move into the house that he purchased in Nebraska, a 5-bedroom, 2-bath home that he purchased for $275,000 in 2023, and they’ll renovate it together.

        It seems like this is just the start of Jana’s happily ever after with her new husband and life in Nebraska.

        Jana Duggar Finally Gets Married

        Photo Cred: Jana Duggar Instagram

        Jana Duggar is officially married to Stephen Wissman, her long-time rumored boyfriend.

        The news broke late at night on August 15, 2024 that the couple had been married just hours before in a ceremony in Prairie Grove, Arkansas. This came as a shock to many because it was never even confirmed that Jana was in a relationship with anyone, let alone engaged and planning a wedding.

        Rumors swirled last month when she posted pictures with her twin brother, John David and his wife Abbie, and seemed to have an engagement ring on her left ring finger. However, nothing was ever confirmed until August 15th, when paperwork got leaked that showed that Jana and Stephen had applied for a marriage license in Arkansas the day before.

        Fans Are Overjoyed

        Fans were immediately overjoyed for Jana, because she has notoriously been known as the unmarried eldest daughter of the Duggars. People have questioned whether or not Jim Bob would let her get married, or if he wanted her to keep living at home to help raise her siblings. 

        RELATED NEWS: Jana Duggar Moves Out

        For years, fans watched as each of Jana’s siblings found partners and got married, and wondered when it would be Jana’s turn. Now, that day has finally come.

        Jana shared the details of the wedding exclusively with People Magazine, many of which were unique choices for a traditional Duggar wedding.

        Jana and Stephen opted for a smaller wedding than what is typical in their social circle. The two invited 500 guests to the wedding, which might seem like a very large wedding to most, but almost all of Jana’s siblings invited thousands of people to their weddings, making this a much smaller affair.

        Jana also chose to wear an off-the-shoulder dress, which seems to go against the modesty standards that the Duggars hold themselves to.

        The Duggars originally found fame for their unique way of living, including their strict dress codes.

        The women in their family were not allowed to wear pants or shorts, and had to have their shoulders covered in order to meet the family’s modesty standards.

        Jana Goes Against Her Parents

        As each of her sisters has gotten married, they’ve seemed to stray from the family’s modesty standards, but Jana always seemed to stay in line with her father’s rules, even as a 34-year-old woman.Her choice in wedding dress, though, goes against those rules that her dad has had in place over the years.

        The women in the wedding party also wore dresses that fall out of line with Jim Bob Duggar’s clothing rules.

        All of the bridesmaids wore sleeveless dresses, which is a fashion choice that is rarely seen at a Duggar wedding.

        But what really raised eyebrows from the wedding was the person missing from the bridal party- Jill Duggar Dillard.

        Jill and Jana were famously close growing up. Jill was often referred to as the “triplet” due to her closeness in age to Jana and John David, the twins.

        Jana even served as the maid of honor in Jill’s wedding to Derrick Dillard, making it especially shocking that Jill doesn’t appear to have been a bridesmaid in Jana’s wedding.

        Instead, Jana chose her other sister, Jessa Duggar Seewald, to be her matron of honor. Growing up, the two were known on the family’s TV show for fighting and not getting along, but it seems as though they put their differences aside as they got into adulthood.

        But still, fans are wondering- why was Jill not in the wedding?

        Is it due to her estrangement from their father, Jim Bob? Is Jana siding with Jim Bob in the feud, or was she simply not allowed to have Jill in the wedding because of Jim Bob?

        Jill released a book last year detailing her disagreements and legal issues with her father over the years, and it has seemingly caused an even bigger rift between herself and her family.

        But those weren’t the only surprising choices that Jana made for her wedding.

        Surprise Touches

        They chose to have a sit-down meal at the wedding, which is a unique choice for the Duggar family.Usually, given the thousands of people invited, Duggar weddings usually only consist of a dessert, not a dinner.According to People Magazine, the Wissman family catered the event themselves, serving everyone chicken, green beans, mashed potatoes, rolls and coleslaw.

        Jana explained her vision for the wedding, saying:

        “Because we’re doing an evening wedding, I envisioned this more formal, sit-down dinner,” says Jana. “The Wissmanns are incredible cooks. They’re going to do a full spread and they’ve been working on it. I’m like, ‘Just do it. I trust y’all. Y’all making amazing food.’ “

        She also shared her plans to move to Nebraska to live with Stephen after the wedding, shocking everyone with her choice to leave Arkansas and the siblings she has notoriously helped raise.

        What Happened to Noah Ritter, ‘The Apparently Kid’?

        Around a decade ago, Noah Ritter (better known as Apparently Kid) went viral during an interview with a WNEP news network at the Wayne County Fair in Pennsylvania. With 10 years passing since the original, many people are interested in what he’s been up to since then.

        Well, a recent video shed some light on this as it caught up with Noah, now 15 years old, at the same place that made him famous.

        How Noah Ritter ‘The Apparently Kid’ Became Famous

        For those unfamiliar with the video, it features a young Noah being interviewed about a ride at the fair. During his interview, the young child used the word “apparently” on numerous different occasions. It’s a very wholesome video and the world seemed to love it, and it was a major hit.

        It quickly went viral, and the original video has nearly 70 million views as of mid-August 2024. He quickly became an online sensation, with thousands of people leaving positive comments on the video. He was even welcomed onto the Ellen DeGeneres show on multiple occasions, where he met several celebrities like Bill Clinton, Jennifer Garner, Jim Carrey, Sofia Vergara, and others.

        What Has ‘The Apparently Kid’ Been Up To?

        Over the last decade, many people have been curious about what Noah has been up to and where life has taken him after the video. Well, the network that held the initial viral interview with Noah recently caught up with him at the place where it all began, the Wayne County Fair.

        In the video, Noah recited a few of his famous lines from the original video, mimicking his voice from back in the day. After being asked what it felt like to say those words again, Noah said that it feels pretty good and he feels very nostalgic about the entire situation. He says it makes him reminisce about a decade earlier being in that same location where it all began.

        His grandfather, Jack, who also appeared in the original video, was also on-hand for this one, and has played a major role in helping to raise Noah over the years. Jack has a long history with the fair, as he used to show cattle there. He said that this history with the fair and the fact he used to come as a kid is why he began to bring Noah, and to show him all the animals and other things to do there.

        Noah Ritter’s Success

        Since the video has debuted, Noah has also created a YouTube channel that has over 90,000 subscribers in mid-August 2024, and he posts everything from movie reviews, to videos with his grandfather, vlogs, gaming videos, and more.

        And despite being busier now with school, playing sports, YouTube, and more, Noah has no plans of stopping his annual visits to the fair with his Grandpa, as he said: “I wouldn’t trade my buddy for the world”.

        It seems that Noah has grown into a fantastic and respectful young man, and he’s embraced the video and seems very grateful for what it’s done for him over the years.

        Exposing Gypsy Rose’s Secret Diagnosis

        Let’s get back to the Gypsy Rose Blanchard story because more details have emerged to add to this mind-boggling saga revolving around the 32-year-old’s medical condition. Ready yourselves for a brand new twist.

        Dee Dee Blanchard’s Deception Decoded

        Let’s start at the beginning. Gypsy Rose was born July 7th, 1991, in Golden Meadow, Louisiana. Her mother was Dee Dee. From a child, Gypsy Rose was a victim of Munchausen’s Syndrome by Proxy. Dee Dee convinced everyone that her daughter had multiple ailments, even Gypsy Rose herself.

        Dee Dee’s deception went through a catalog of illnesses and ailments she claimed her daughter had. Many were life-changing, some even life-threatening.

        Over time, Dee Dee Blanchard claimed her daughter, Gypsy Rose, had infant sleep apnea, muscular dystrophy, leukemia, asthma, seizures, vision and hearing issues, developmental delays and a chromosomal defect. She had Gypsy, believing she needed medication, a wheelchair, and a feeding tube.

        Gypsy Rose’s Medical Conditions 

        This is a sorry saga in every sense of the word. Jump forward to 2015, and Gypsy is under investigation for the murder of her mother along with Nicholas Godejohn, her online boyfriend. It’s this investigation that turned up the truth about the Munchausen’s. Almost all Gypsy’s many illnesses were made up by her mother.  

        The one real medical condition Gypsy Rose had was disclosed in the Lifetime documentary Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, after Dr. Rob Steele, Gypsy’s former pediatrician, reviewed her medical records. It’s a condition many babies are born with, called hypertropia or, put simply, cross eyes.

        Gypsy had weak eye muscles and had surgery to correct them before she was a year old. She was never told and had no idea. However, she acknowledged she’s had issues with her right eye and that it was serious enough to be a problem. Could this have been Dee Dee’s trigger?

        Gypsy’s Mom Suffered From Munchausen’s Syndrome

        Dee Dee was suffering from a textbook case of Munchausen’s Syndrome by Proxy. It’s a mental illness now renamed Factitious Disorder Imposed on Another (FDIA). In FDIA cases, the caregiver fabricates illnesses for those in their charge. It isn’t always a child. They seem to want sympathy and attention rather than any kind of financial gain.

        There are other types of factitious disorders, such as making up medical conditions about oneself. It’s a condition associated with emotional difficulties. Dee Dee took FDIA  to new levels.

        Gypsy Rose’s Time in Prison

        Gypsy was found guilty for her role in the murder of her mother, and she received ten years. She was out on parole by December 2023, having served 85% of her sentence.

        Gypsy Rose came out ready to talk and put things straight. She starred in the new Lifetime documentary Gypsy Rose: Life after Lockup (June 3rd, 2024) apparently, Gypsy thinks it’s like The Truman Show but with prison tatts, which hints at her sense of humor.

        Gypsy Rose is also the subject of an HBO documentary aptly entitled Mommy Dead and Dearest, and her incredible story has been put on film in The Act by Hulu.

        50 Cent Rubs Ashanti’s Pregnancy in Irv Gotti’s Face

        50 Cent has used his talent for trolling to reignite one of his most famous feuds. Last month it was reported that the rapper had touched a nerve when he appeared to rub Ashanti’s pregnancy in the face of her old record boss Irv Gotti. HipHopDX reported that 50 had made fun of Irv by sharing a meme at Irv’s expense. 

        The meme, which 50 later removed from his Instagram account, showed a picture of Irv looking angry during his Drink Champs podcast appearance. In the background of the picture were images of Ashanti looking happy with new husband and baby daddy to be, Nelly. Alongside the meme, 50 wrote in the caption that he just had to share it. The joke was a clear reference to some infamous claims Irv has made in the past about a romance between himself and Ashanti. 

        Irv Gotti’s Wild Claims

        Irv’s wild claims blew up after his appearance on the podcast alongside Ja Rule. Irv claimed that he had an affair with Ashanti two decades ago.He also said that he was married to his first wife, Debbie Lorenzo, at the time of the alleged affair. And he went on to admit that Ashanti was actually with Nelly at the time, bringing her loyalty to the rapper into question.

        RELATED NEWS: Fans Are Worried About Ashanti

        This was especially provocative since cheating rumors were always hovering around Nelly and Ashanti’s 2013 split. Irv said that he and Ashanti were together every day that she wasn’t with Nelly. And he claimed that he actually came up with Ashanti’s 2002 hit song Happy after they shared an evening together.

        Irv and Ashanti’s Current Relationship

        Irv went on to discuss what their relationship was like these days.And he said that they “didn’t see eye to eye” anymore.Soon after Irv made these claims, Ashanti came out with a very different story.During a chat with Angie Martinez on her IRL podcast, she quickly shut down any talk of Irv ever being her boyfriend.

        She repeatedly stated that that was never the case and said that Irv just flat-out lied about so many things.She said that Irv had several girlfriends while separating from Debbie, but she was never one of them.And she went on to add that Irv was salty when he found out about her dating Nelly.Which also explains why 50 found the post he shared so hilarious.

        Nelly and Ashanti still going strong after so many years apart must have driven Irv crazy. And then she also made some huge claims of her own. Ashanti recalled the gross way Irv reacted to the news about her and Nelly dating. She alleged that Irv tried to block her career from progressing in some kind of revenge. Allegedly, he would even order other artists not to record with her, and would stop her from coming to the studio.

        The Battle Between Irv and 50

        Because Ashanti was signed to Irv’s label for so long, she actually got caught up in the battle between 50 and Irv back in the day. But even then, 50 made it clear that he had no ill feeling towards her. In an interview with DJ Whoo Kid, Ashanti said that she had never previously had a problem with 50. 

        RELATED NEWS: Ashanti’s Dad Speaks Out On Nelly

        She said that they would see each other now and again, and there never seemed to be any animosity toward her. In fact, on one occasion, they found themselves sitting near each other at a Christian Dior event when 50 made an admission to her. Now that Ashanti’s happy news has given him fresh ammunition to hurt Irv with, 50 probably respects Ashanti more than ever.

        John Legend and Chrissy Teigen’s Son’s Scary Health Diagnosis

        Chrissy Teigen recently dropped a health update on her and John Legend’s son Miles. Through her Instagram, Chrissy announced that Miles has recently been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Her decision to share this news with the rest of us came after a picture she shared of her family at the Paris Olympics.

        Eagle Eye Fans See Something At The Olympics

        In this picture, Chrissy, her daughter Luna, and her son Miles can be seen holding up cardboard boxes with Simone Biles’s name as a way of showing their support for Simone and Team USA. But something else caught the eyes of everyone in the picture. On Miles’s raised left side, there was a small rectangular white patch attached to his left arm.

        And after putting two and two together, it didn’t take long for people to realize that Miles was actually wearing a continuous glucose monitor, usually used to help treat diabetes.From there, people started flooding Chrissy’s comment section and inbox declaring their support for her family and Miles.

        And this was what made Chrissy come out and officially reveal Mile’s diagnosis.

        Chrissy Teigen Speaks Out

        Part of her post reads, “A lot of you noticed something a little special about a photo I posted a few days ago. Luna, Miles, and I celebrating Simone and Team USA. Miles had his arm up, soooo many of you reached out to say the most beautiful and incredible words I have ever witnessed on this platform.”

        In the series of responses that followed, she explained how the item noticed on Miles’s arm was indeed a Type 1 Diabetes monitor. Then she went on to talk about how grateful she is for her community and the kindness and encouragement she’s received so far from people.Especially because she knows that so many parents around the world are going through terrible things that she can’t begin to imagine.

        And their situation could have been worse, but it isn’t. This is something she constantly tries to remind herself of every time she and John get a red alert blasted to their phones.

        Speaking more on Type 1 diabetes, Mayo Clinic described it as a chronic condition where the organ responsible for producing insulin is the body, the pancreas, makes little to no insulin. Insulin is a hormone responsible for regulating our blood sugar levels. And when it’s absent or not working the way it should, the body is left with more sugar aka glucose than it has use for which can cause a lot of harmful conditions.

        No Cure

        The inability of the pancreas to produce adequate amounts of insulin is usually caused by a defect in cells called Beta cells which are responsible for producing insulin in the pancreas. And this condition has no cure.There are various factors that can cause this defect, ranging from genetics to environmental factors.

        Type 1 Diabetes was previously known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes as most people who are diagnosed with this condition are adolescents.Although it can also happen to adults, which caused the change in name.

        Now, speaking on how they found out about Miles’s condition, Chrissy explained that they received his diagnosis after he had fallen sick with Shigella at camp. For context, Shigella are bacteria that can cause diarrhea. Apparently, a good bunch of the kids at Miles’s camp had gotten this bug.

        Either way, they’re grateful for everyone who has supported their family in one way or the other since finding out about Miles’s diagnosis. According to Chrissy, it helps Miles a lot to know that he isn’t alone and that other people are going through the same thing with him.

        Famed actress from Charmed, Shannon Doherty, has been through quite a lot of turmoil and upset in her adult life. Despite starring on multiple hit shows and carving out a spot for herself among other aspiring talent in Hollywood, she hasn’t had it easy at all.

        She’s had to deal with some pretty profound ups and downs over the course of her successful career. But, how did she manage to deal with discovering her husband was being unfaithful to her at a time when she was most vulnerable?

        We’ve got the scoop on her story below for you, and it’s an interesting tale of betrayal mixed with triumph.

        Shannon Said ‘… I Just Felt So Incredibly Unloved By Someone I Was With For 14 Years …’

        According to the Daily Beast, Shannon first opened up about her battle with cancer and the difficulties she had been facing for the longest time in her relationship way back in the first episode of “Let’s Be Clear”. 

        She dropped the bomb on just how crazy it was for her to learn of her husband’s long-running affair on her way to the operating room for life-threatening brain surgery. The shocking revelation led to a not too surprising divorce after 11 long years of marriage.

        The Daily Beast reported her saying: “I felt so betrayed. At the end of the day, I just felt so incredibly unloved by someone I was with for 14 years—by someone that I loved with all my heart.”

        Although cheating was allegedly a no-no for Shannon, she surprisingly stuck with her husband for a little while after discovering what he had done. The Daily Beast reported that she had done this because she was so confused by the situation at the time that she wasn’t sure what steps to take.

        Shannon Said ‘… I Am Horrified That I Can’t Keep A Relationship Together …’ 

        Shannon has actually been married more than once, and this was her third husband, following Rick Saloman and Ashley Hamilton, according to The Daily Beast

        According to EW, Shannon admitted: “It was embarrassing. I am horrified that I can’t keep a relationship together. I think it is a reflection on me, although this one… I think it’s on him.”

        She also described her entire experience with brain surgery as the most frightening thing she has ever been through in her life and claimed she wasn’t sure if she was going to be able to make it through the ordeal. 

        She was apparently worried that she would emerge from her surgery without the ability to walk or talk anymore and, obviously, learning about her husband’s cheating right before the morning of her surgery didn’t help her feel any better about the situation.

        Although Shannon has faced a ton of hardships in life and love, she had an inspiring take on everything she’s had to deal with so far. After beating cancer multiple times and hitting the brakes on multiple marriages, she’s still not done doing things her way.

        According to EW, she said the following: “I’m not done with living. I’m not done with loving. I’m not done with creating. I’m not done with hopefully changing things for the better. I’m just not — I’m not done.”

        Miranda Lambert is a Mess

        Miranda Lambert has been visibly happy and excited about her new relationship and marriage, but some recent events are showing that things might not be as great as they appear and she’s beginning to stress about the relationship.

        Miranda Lambert is a country superstar who has been active for over 20 years, won countless awards, and sold millions of records in the USA. She’s currently married to former NYC police officer Brendan McLoughlin.

        How Miranda Lambert and Brendan McLoughlin Met 

        The pair met when he was doing security for the “Good Morning America” show and she was a guest. They had a whirlwind romance and got married very quickly, only three short months after they met. This isn’t the first public relationship she’s been in, as she was married to fellow country music star Blake Shelton from 2011 until their divorce in 2015.

        While her and Brendan have been seemingly happy and jovial during their courtship, a recent event looks like it may have put a major wedge between the pair. In June 2024, Brendan was seen dancing with another woman at Miranda’s own bar in Nashville.

        Miranda wasn’t anywhere to be seen, and cameras caught Brendan getting handsy with the woman as they danced together. It also caught her grabbing his face, whispering in his ear, and more. While some might think this was a quick and brief event, eyewitnesses from the bar said that he was acting like this for multiple hours.

        Despite the woman he was dancing with speaking out and saying that it was innocent and nothing nefarious was taking place, it’s still a very concerning thing. While Miranda has seemingly tried to ignore the event in public and move on, it’s causing her constant worry and stress about her husband and what he’s doing when she’s not around, according to sources. Some sources say she also feels humiliated by the event.

        She also reportedly gave him a stern talking to and warned him that he needs to improve and change his behavior. In addition to being worried about the marriage behind the scenes, she’s also let the stress spill out into her performances. During a recent show, Miranda called out an audience for not fully paying attention to her during a song, which many fans felt was inappropriate and rude.

        According to sources, this type of on-stage behavior and meltdowns are because of her husband and the stress that recent events have caused. Despite being upset with Brendan, she’s letting it impact her relationship with her fans.

        But even with all the worry and the stress that this event has caused her, it seems Miranda isn’t ready to give up on the marriage yet. She is still trying to make it work, but there’s no doubt that she feels unhappy right now and Brendan will have to make some serious strides to get back on her good side.

        Here’s to hoping Miranda and Brendan are able to figure this out and get past the event, and come out stronger on the other side.
