Ja Rule Speaks Out On Ashanti

The bond between Ja Rule and Ashanti runs deep to this day. 

Ja Rule Wasn’t Surprised When Ashanti And Nelly Got Back Together

Along with their mutual friend Fat Joe, Ja Rule opened up about how he felt about the big news about Ashanti reuniting with Nelly after so many years apart. 

During an appearance on the Tamron Hall Show, he gave his take on the superstar pair starting up their romance again. 

And what he said was probably pretty unexpected for those who knew about Ja Rule and Ashanti’s history. 

He told Tamron that he wasn’t really surprised that the couple had gotten back together. 

Ja Rule Knew Ashanti Wanted Nelly Back

He went on to suggest that he just knew something was up from the way Ashanti and Ja Rule’s wife had been talking for a while. 

He said that he knew that he could tell that Ashanti wanted Nelly back, who he referred to as “that old thing.”

However, he made it clear that he wasn’t trying to make fun of them, and acknowledged the amazing chemistry the pair still obviously had when they were finally united again.

And Ja Rule should know, as he was actually there for the viral moment when Nelly walked up to Ashanti almost a decade after their split. 

When Fat Joe and Ja Rule faced off on the Comedy Central show Verzuz Battle, both Nelly and Ashanti were there, too. 

Nelly and Ashanti’s Renewed Relationship 

Nelly walked across the stage and gave Ashanti a hug in their first reunion since their breakup. 

After that, Nelly and Ashanti’s renewed relationship developed really fast. 

The following year, Ashanti confessed that they were in a much better place during an interview.

Soon after that, they were spotted out and about together on several different occasions.

And it wasn’t long before they went public with their relationship, saying that they had finally gotten back together.

Nelly talked about their relationship on Philo TV’s Boss Moves.

And he said that they were both actually surprised by the fact that they had become part of each other’s lives again.

They supposedly both agreed that going their separate ways all those years ago actually helped them understand each other more.

And although they have both grown older and wiser, it looks like they are having more fun than ever.

Ja Rule’s Verzuz Battle Upstaged By Ashanti And Nelly

Ja Rule explained to Tamron what he saw that fateful day when his Verzuz battle was upstaged by the happy couple. 

He said that he thought the two missed each other, and that “the way they clicked just came back so fast.”

It sounds like Ja Rule felt that it was like they had never even broken up at all. 

Ashanti’s Feelings For Nelly Resurfaced

Ashanti opened up recently about how surprising it was even for her to realize those feelings were still there when she saw Nelly again.

She said that after breaking up, her instinct was to try and shut the other person out to make it easier to close that chapter of her life. 

But after reuniting, Ashanti admitted that she had to be real with herself and confront whether or not she still had feelings for Nelly. 

And the truth, she realized, was that she did.

Fat Joe Is Happy for Nelly And Ashanti

For his part, Fat Joe was clearly delighted that the couple were back together, and even more delighted about it happening during his Verzuz Battle. 

He even joked online about being the one responsible for bringing them back to each other.

After rumors started swirling about Ashanti being pregnant, Fat Joe quipped, “I immediately tell them I need 10 percent of this kid.”

He went on to say that if it wasn’t for him bringing Nelly out during the show, they would not have connected again. 

He added that it was at the moment Nelly saw Ashanti across the stage behind Ja Rule that he said “I gotta have her.”

Did Fat Joe Know Ashanti Was Pregnant Beforehand? 

But although Fat Joe might consider himself the puppetmaster in the relationship of his two friends, there was certainly something going on that he didn’t know. 

After jokingly demanding ten percent after hearing the baby gossip, Fat Joe went on to say that it was “just a rumor” that Ashanti was pregnant. 

While Ashanti has had her fair share of rumors made up about her, the talk of her having a baby has turned out to be 100% legit. 

Recently, she shared a couple of photos on her Instagram, seemingly to celebrate her pregnancy.

The photos showed her lying on a beach in a gold bikini. 

In the caption, she wrote that the fact that she was about to become a mother was “the greatest feeling ever.”

Nelly and Ashanti had previously announced both that they were expecting and that they were engaged in April of this year.

Ashanti And Nelly Privately Tied The Knot 

But there was something else going on that no fans, or even Ja Rule or Fat Joe, knew about.

The couple had already taken the final step and tied the knot in private. 

Public records show that they got married on December 27, 2023.

Since then, they have been fooling everyone with a complicated ruse to keep us all guessing. 

How Did Nelly Propose To Ashanti?

In April, they announced that they were getting engaged.

Ashanti told Entertainment Tonight about the super casual way in which Nelly proposed to her. 

According to Ashanti, it was a really beautiful, intimate moment. 

They were not at all dressed-up.

Apparently, they were both lying in bed in their pajamas watching TV when Nelly popped the question.

The singer then shared her reaction.

She apparently cried.

Then, she gave Nelly a big hug and kiss.

And after that, she decided to FaceTime everyone to let them know that she was engaged.

She went on to say that she was overjoyed, surprised, and happy all at the same time.

Nelly And Ashanti’s Future Ceremony

Although it’s now been reported that they’re already married, it seems like Nelly and Ashanti are still planning to have a big formal ceremony at some point in the future. 

Ashanti confirmed that their baby will be born before their wedding. 

Neither Ja Rule nor Fat Joe have yet commented on the bombshell news of their friends’ secret marriage. 

However, it’s possible that they were two of the few the couple trusted enough to share their secret with. 

Ja Rule And Ashanti’s Close Friendship 

Their friendships go back decades, with Ja Rule being one of Ashanti’s biggest champions back when they were first making hits together. 

Ja Rule revealed to Tamron Hall just how much he fought for his so-called sister when trying to put songs together. 

He said that label executive Irv Gotti had suggested some big names to jump on Ja Rule’s track Always on Time, including Beyonce and Alicia Keys.

However, Ja Rule was adamant that they had the right singer for the job right there in the studio with them. 

Did Ja Rule And Ashanti Date?  

Unsurprisingly, there have been frequent rumors about a relationship between Ja Rule and Ashanti over the years.

Ashanti has been quick to shut down the rumors, insisting that she never dated Ja.

She apparently actually sees him as a brother.

In an old interview with Entertainment Tonight, she doubled down on this.

The singer said that from day one, it was never that way between them.

She said that from the first time they met, she saw him as a brother and he saw her as a sister.

Will Ja Rule And Ashanti Make Another Album Together? 

For years, fans have been desperate for Ashanti and Ja Rule to make an album together.

Nearly two decades after they first took over the charts together, Ashanti spoke about working with Ja Rule again.

In 2019, she told People magazine that they would work on new music after doing some shows together.

But as of now, the project is yet to see the light of day.

And it now looks further away than ever.

With the newly married Ashanti expecting her first kid, making music with Ja Rule is probably the last thing on her mind right now.

Jamie Foxx’s Daughter Corrine Speaks Out

For decades, Jamie Foxx has been a household name, dazzling audiences with his unmatched acting, comedy, and musical ability. But lately, the world was left wondering when word of the star’s concerning health scare would be revealed. Updates were much sought after by fans, and recently Jamie’s daughter Corrine Foxx has at last spoken up about her father’s health.

Jamie Foxx’s Daughter Corrine Said ‘He’s Doing So Great …’

Corrine reassured followers in a quick word with Daily Mail that her dad is healing and doing wonderfully well. “He’s doing so great, he’s doing amazing. I’m so grateful to be able to work on [Beat Shazam] with him and spend so much time with him,” she said, giving many people who had been nervously waiting for positive news some respite. “He’s playing a lot of pickleball! That man and pickleball; it’s like he’s playing twice a day every day.”

Though Corrine claims Jamie Foxx is now back to his active self, even playing pickleball, his health crisis had clearly been a major cause for worry.

For those not familiar with the situation, Jamie Foxx experienced a serious health crisis that left loved ones and fans very concerned. Jamie allegedly suffered a health scare while filming “Back In Action” in April 2023 and had to be hospitalized. The details of his illness or diagnosis have not been revealed, which only stoked public conjecture and worry. For everyone who loves the gifted multi-talented entertainer, it was a stressful time.

The report from Corrine could not have arrived at a better moment. She has been a consistent rock during the process, keeping a good attitude and sending updates. Her most recent piece honored Jamie’s resilience rather than only informing. 

Jamie was spotted resuming production on the Netflix film about a year after he was hospitalized.

Jamie’s health scare is serious, but Corrine’s most recent update speaks to his will and fortitude. Jamie is prospering not only in recovery. Especially encouraging is the news that he will be picking back up pickleball. Jamie is clearly recovering and ready to get back to work, but also giving himself some time to enjoy the little things. Pickleball also isn’t the most leisurely game; it’s a fast-paced sport combining components of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. It calls for speed, agility, and endurance—all of which Jamie seems to be recovering.

What Was Jamie Foxx Diagnosed With?

Fans can also expect to hear details about the health scare soon. Jamie noted in April 2024 that he would reveal the details about the incidents in a soon-to-go-live comedy special. Allegedly, the actor could not walk for six months and he described the situation as a “near-death experience.”

Jamie has demonstrated his fighting spirit before the recent health scare. He has overcome many obstacles over his career and always comes out stronger. Jamie Foxx has shown constant resiliency in both conquering personal challenges and the entertainment business. 

Fans should know Jamie is in good care and is gradually returning to his colorful and hilarious self as he recovers. Corrine’s updates have been a lighthouse of hope, offering desperately needed solace and clarity. 

Why G-Eazy Disappeared

Photo credit: G-Eazy/Instagram

It seems like just yesterday that G-Eazy was one of the biggest presences on the airways. 

But after a string of hits and a brush with superstardom, fans have noticed that we don’t hear so much from the rapper anymore. 

G-Eazy Promoting Latest Single 

So what exactly happened to him?

Here’s what we know.

Last year, G-Eazy hit the headlines thanks to an interview with Billboard in which he talked about his time away from the spotlight. 

He was promoting his latest single, Tulips & Roses, ahead of the release of his seventh album. 

He went into detail about the deeper meaning behind the song, which was pretty different from the kind of hits that first made him famous.

G-Eazy Said ‘Anybody Could Have A Bad Day …’

The rapper said that the track was about being vulnerable. 

He said that artists were often put up on pedestals and expected to be like invincible superheroes.

However, he wanted people to understand that “anybody could have a bad day or catch an L.”

How G-Eazy’s Rap Career Began  

It seems difficult to believe that G-Eazy has caught too many Ls, thanks to his amazing journey to becoming a successful mainstream rapper. 

He first started making beats as a young 14-year-old, which, looking back, he admitted in his interview were “trash.”

He also started writing rap lyrics in a notebook without having any real knowledge about how to put a rap song together. 

G-Eazy Saw Jay Z As A Goal To Aspire To

He told Billboard that one of the biggest rap lessons he learned came from listening to Jay Z’s The Black Album

According to G Eazy, this changed everything.

He said that after listening to the record, he saw Jay Z as a goal to aspire to.

Despite his high ambitions, he also admitted that if he was able to go back in time and tell the 14-year-old him where his career would take him, it would be “unfathomable.”

G-Eazy Asked For Sympathy From Listeners

This amazing success story made it surprising to hear him talk about his new single, asking for sympathy from listeners.

However, the song received positive feedback from fans. 

The importance of fans giving their opinion was not lost on G-Eazy, who acknowledged that, “When you make music, you’re making it in the studio with your closest team.”

And releasing a song that has an impact on people is what gives that song “life.”

But despite pleasing the fans, G-Eazy’s latest release didn’t have the same huge impact and success that previous material had given him. 

How G-Eazy’s Personal Life Stopped Him In His Tracks

A couple of months later, he opened up about some things going on in his personal life that had stopped him in his tracks.

He told Something About Rocks that he was making a dramatic return to hip hop after taking time to grieve for his late mother, who passed away a couple of years ago. 

Suzanne Olmsted passed away in late 2021, just two months after G-Eazy’s album These Things Happen Too was released.

It was heartbreaking for G-Eazy to be able to share his success with his biggest supporter for such a brief time. 

G-Eazy Released Song In Mother’s Memory

After his loss, G Eazy took to Instagram to express his feeling of shock, saying that he was struggling to accept that he’d never be able to hug his mom again. 

In 2022, he released the song Angel in tribute to her before taking a break from making music for the rest of the year. 

He explained to HipHopDX that year that he needed to allow himself time to reset and to grieve properly.

He went on to reveal that he had not really taken a break from work for almost a decade and had finally decided it was time to slow down and figure out where he wanted to go with his life. 

G-Eazy’s Refreshed Focus 

In his time away, it seemed that he had decided that coming back to hip hop was what he wanted to do. 

He talked to Something About Rocks about his refreshed focus, saying that his soul was full again after time away, and that he was “happy, excited, and motivated.”

He went on to say that his upcoming album would be out in September or October. 

However, despite rediscovering his passion for the game, it took a lot longer for the album to see the light of day. 

The album, called Freak Show, was ultimately released just weeks ago.

The album deals with a lot of difficult subjects, including the loss of his mother. 

Fans React To G-Eazy’s Album

However, fans online have not been kind to the project. 

One Reddit page devoted to hip hop trashed everything about the album from the songs to the questionable cover art. 

One commenter wrote on the thread, “Can’t believe this is the same guy who I used to listen to 24/7 back in 2013-15.”

G-Eazy’s New Identity 

The feeling that G-Eazy had changed his whole identity seemed to be a common complaint among fans online. 

One person suggested that the G-Eazy that fans had known and loved never made it out of the pandemic, and the new G-Eazy was more interested in singing than rapping. 

Others suggested that he had simply changed as a person over the years, possibly due to his tragic loss.

G-Eazy’s Turbulent Relationship With Halsey

However, another potential reason for his drop in popularity was his turbulent relationship with singer Halsey.

The pair dated for over a year before calling it quits in 2018. 

Halsey later took to social media to talk about how she was made out to be the villain of the relationship. 

This was despite her describing G-Eazy as harmful to her during their relationship.

Halsey also hinted on Twitter that G-Eazy may have cheated on her while they were together. 

There was a rumor that G-Eazy was spotted holding hands with Demi Lovato outside a nightclub.

The drama between G-Eazy and Halsey became a defining moment for both stars among their fans.

Bebe Rexha Called G-Eazy A “Stuck Up Ungrateful Loser”

And it has since been said to have contributed to G-Eazy’s disappearance from the limelight.

But Halsey is not the only famous name to have publicly had a problem with G-Eazy.

Recently, another singer important to the rapper’s career has launched an attack against him.

Bebe Rexha, who sang on one of G-Eazy’s biggest hits, Me Myself & I, shared a screengrab which showed her calling him a “stuck up ungrateful loser.”

She went on to say that he was lucky that people had started to like him again. 

Bebe Claimed That G-Eazy Treated Her Badly

The tirade came after Bebe was asked if she would be interested in doing social media content with her old collaborator. 

Bebe suggested that after making their hit, the rapper had started treating her really badly.

Although she later deleted the screenshot, Bebe returned to social media to state that she regretted doing so and wanted it to be known that she wasn’t backing down from her comments. 

What exactly happened between them isn’t known.

Will G-Eazy Be Able To Make A Comeback?

However, after everything that came out about G-Eazy and Halsey, many fans were ready to accept that the rapper was once again at fault. 

All of this has done nothing to help G-Eazy as he attempts to reclaim his former glory at the top of the charts.

USA Today revealed that he has been living in New York City for around a year.

Given the lukewarm reception his latest album is receiving, this could be the last update we get on G-Eazy for a while.

Fans Are Worried About Ashanti

Ashanti might be on cloud nine right now, but a lot of her fans are seriously concerned. There has been a lot of talk about her rekindled relationship with Nelly and how the rapper might not be the best thing for her.

This has a lot to do with Nelly’s worrying personal history, which has included some disturbing brushes with the law. In the years following the couple’s initial breakup in 2013, Nelly saw his career and public image spiral after serious accusations were made against him. While many of the allegations were forgotten, fans have been shocked to rediscover some of the stories about Nelly’s past.

RELATED: How Nelly and Ashanti Got Back Together

In 2017, a college student named Monique Greene accused Nelly of SA. The incident allegedly took place before a Florida Georgia Line concert when Monique was 22 years old. The case was dropped after just a week when Monique was accused of failing to cooperate with investigations.

Two months after the initial accusations, Monique decided to come for Nelly in another way. She sued him for SA and defamation following his public comments about her and her lawyer.

Other women came out to make similar accusations against the rapper. Court papers relating to the lawsuit showed two other women involved, both of whom chose to remain anonymous.

Nelly Fought Fire with Fire

With no less than three women accusing him of horrendous crimes, Nelly felt forced to respond. The way he chose to do it was to fight fire with fire.

He filed a countersuit in 2018, in which he claimed that all the women’s stories were totally false. He described them as an attempt to give credibility to his accuser’s far-fetched story.

This was a big claim to make. It seemed to suggest that the two other women were just making up stories to support Monique’s official allegation.

To suggest that the three of them were somehow working together seemed like a stretch. It did a lot of damage to Nelly’s public image.

This tarnished reputation is what many fans think is behind Nelly taking Ashanti back. The worry among fans is that Nelly only got back together with Ashanti for some good PR.

Just a year before he got back together with Ashanti, he became the subject of ridicule after an intimate video of him was leaked online. What made things even worse was that he accidentally leaked it himself. 

The video appeared briefly on his Instagram story before quickly being taken down. However, it was up long enough to make Nelly a laughing stock online. He soon apologized for the clip, claiming it was an old video that was never supposed to be made public.

Nelly seemed to be in such a bad place in 2022. This is why some fans have concluded that getting back together with Ashanti was a PR move on his end. 

Fans Feel That Their Relationship Is One-Sided

The criticism surrounding Ashanti’s decision to get back with Nelly has only gotten more intense over time. Some high-profile figures online have even said that the relationship looks one-sided, with Ashanti showing a lot more affection for Nelly than he does for her.

One of those people is the YouTuber Tasha K. She claimed that from what the public could see, Ashanti was giving a lot to the relationship and wasn’t getting much back.

The vlogger said in one video, “Ashanti, y’all doing too much!” She continued by saying, “I just don’t understand why we need to see his face on a purse.”

Tasha K also questioned why Ashanti felt the need to throw so many different parties for Nelly and buy him so many extravagant presents. 

RELATED: Why Won’t Nelly Marry Ashanti?

She asked why Ashanti would buy Nelly a car and why Nelly never got her a ring. This was a reference to the news about Ashanti’s incredible present to Nelly for his birthday last October. She presented him with a specially customized convertible Chevrolet Impala.

Although Nelly was happy with the Impala, Tasha K just couldn’t get her head around what was really going on. She voiced her shock that a high-value woman like Ashanti felt the need to shower Nelly with amazing gifts and didn’t expect to get the same back. Specifically, Tasha K wondered why Nelly had shown no sign of intending to marry Ashanti any time soon. 

Tasha K even questioned why Ashanti felt like she had to keep herself in good shape, mentioning that she herself had a “big belly” and still managed to get married twice. She seemed to believe that Ashanti had made a mistake in starting a relationship again with the rapper. 

Tasha K Wanted Nelly To Propose

After it became clear that the relationship was serious, Tasha K repeatedly urged Ashanti and Nelly to “make it official.” But Tasha K wasn’t the only one to call out Nelly for not putting a ring on it.

Nelly also got into an argument with a fan online. This fan decided to share their opinion on Nelly and Ashanti’s relationship while they’re expecting their first child together.

The fan stated that their family couldn’t be called the Haynes family, simply because the two of them weren’t married. Instead, they should include both Nelly and Ashanti’s last names and be known as the Haynes-Douglas family. 

The fan went on to say that they knew that others would be mad at their take. But they added that fans should actually be mad at Nelly for not marrying Ashanti and giving her his last name. 

While the commenter seemed prepared for other fans to respond, they couldn’t have expected Nelly himself to join the conversation. Nelly chimed in to comment: “umm it’s definitely the Haynes family, lol.” Of course, it has recently emerged that the couple already did get married in secret last December. 

Tasha K, however, wasted no time in sharing another bombshell rumor about secrets Nelly might be hiding from his new wife. A day after the news of the couple’s marriage dropped, Tasha K claimed that Nelly actually had a secret son with another woman. 

This Relationship Could Hurt Ashanti

What’s more, the YouTuber alleged that Nelly actually cheated on his then-fiance Shantel Jackson with the mother of his secret child. Tasha K claimed that Nelly had an affair around 2019 or 2020 with a life coach named Shanna Bianca. 

In a post on her social media, Tasha K shared that Nelly’s baby with Shanna was named Chase. The baby was allegedly conceived around the time Nelly was splitting with Shantel. 

RELATED: Did Nelly Cheat On Ashanti?

With the news of Ashanti and Nelly’s marriage still fresh in their minds, supporters are concerned that Nelly might cheat on Ashanti.

It’s been obvious for a long time how important Nelly is to Ashanti. The rapper has been the only serious romantic partner Ashanti has ever gone public with.

Some fans are happy that the couple seems to have finally found their happily ever after. But many others wait anxiously for Nelly to prove them right by hurting Ashanti again.

How Nelly and Ashanti Got Back Together

Nelly and Ashanti were old sweethearts back in the early 2000s, but then their lives went in separate directions and they broke up about ten years ago.

Much like Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, Nelly and Ashanti sparked dating rumors in 2023, and a year later, they announced that they were pregnant and getting married.

Fans who loved the couple together back in the day are thrilled to know their favorite stars are back together.

Was Nelly And Ashanti’s Reunion A Setup? 

But how did they end up finding their way back to each other after all these years?

It all started at the Verzuz event in 2021 when Ja Rule battled against Fat Joe.

Ashanti was there, and to her surprise, so was Nelly.

No one had told her that Nelly was coming.

The reason Joe gave to her was that he didn’t want her to not come if she found out that Nelly was going to be there.

By this point in time, Nelly and Ashanti had been broken up for around six years.

They hadn’t seen or spoken to each other during that whole time.

Nelly Shocked Ashanti Then Hugged Her 

So, suddenly seeing Nelly was quite a shock to her.

Then, Nelly did something that shocked her even more.

He went in for a hug.

Some people thought he had whispered something in her ear, but she said that hadn’t been the case.

She was so shocked by the hug because, once more, they had zero contact during those six years.

The hug, however, was a positive one.

Ashanti did say that the reunion was a little awkward, though, just because she was so surprised by it.

Naturally, people asked if she and Nelly were going to start dating again, but she said no.

Nelly and Ashanti’s Surprise Performance 

Then, in 2023, the dating rumors really took off when Ashanti brought Nelly out for a surprise performance at her Las Vegas residency show.

According to TMZ, the audience went wild when Ashanti and Nelly started performing Body On Me together.

It’s originally Nelly’s song, which he performed with Ashanti and Akon back in the day.

Although the two performing together was one thing to make people talk, it was really the dancing that got everyone thinking that they were back together.

Ashanti was grinding against Nelly and definitely making it seem like they were close again.

Nelly And Ashanti’s Public Outings

Around this time, Ashanti and Nelly were also attending events together.

They were seen holding hands while watching a boxing match, for example.

They also attended certain red carpet events together.

The two remained quiet about whether they were dating again, though.

They were also seen at a nightclub in New York City, but they weren’t kissing or being publicly affectionate together.

Instead, they just seemed to be enjoying each other’s company.

When asked about the big performance and whether she was dating Nelly, Ashanti said that they were cool.

They had some great conversations, and things were cool between them again.

However, she refused to say whether they were dating.

Nelly Confirmed Dating Rumors 

It was only in September 2023 that Nelly finally confirmed the dating rumors.

During an episode of Boss Moves with Rasheeda on Philo TV, Rasheeda went right into it and asked if he and Ashanti were together.

Nelly laughed at first, joking that she went right for it without giving him time to warm up.

He confirmed the dating rumors, saying that they were cool again, but it was a shock to them both.

According to Nelly, neither he nor Ashanti had planned on getting back together.

It just sort of happened naturally.

Now, Nelly did say that part of the reason they likely got back together was because enough time had passed between them.

Since they had a lot of distance from their past relationship, they were able to have a lot of time to think about it and the other person and end up understanding that other person better.

Biggest Reason Nelly And Ashanti Broke Up

Nelly also said that one of the biggest reasons why they broke up in the first place was because of their careers.

They were both early into their careers and they were working hard to maintain success.

Now, they were at a point in their careers where they could relax more and spend some of their energy on other things–like relationships.

How Nelly Feels About Marriage 

Nelly was also asked about how he felt about marriage during the episode.

He said that he had never been married before and that was because he was the sort of person who took commitment seriously.

He said that when he passes away, he wants to do so as a married man, not as someone who was married.

Nelly explained that when he says his vows, he takes that seriously, and that’s the kind of commitment he wants in his relationship.

If he’s going to marry someone, then he wants to stay married to that person until he passes away.

So, he has been holding out for a long time to find the right person who he believes is someone he could grow old with.

Ashanti’s Pregnancy Rumors 

Big news once more hit Nelly and Ashanti fans when they revealed in December 2023 that Ashanti was pregnant.

According to US Weekly, the first time there was speculation about if she was pregnant was during Nelly’s Black and White Ball in St. Louis.

Since they were together by that point, Ashanti was there to party with her partner.

During the event, Ashanti put her hand on her belly, and Nelly put his hand over hers.

They laughed together, and the crowd who saw the moment all felt that it was their way of announcing that Ashanti was pregnant.

Ashanti Confirms Pregnancy Rumors 

That was later confirmed when Ashanti and Essence released a video to confirm the rumors that she was expecting.

During the video, Ashanti was preparing for a performance and her team kept checking in to see if she was ready.

When she was asked how long it was going to take for her to be ready, Ashanti said she was going to need about nine months.

Nelly And Ashanti’s Partnership With Proov

Ashanti and Nelly also revealed that they had partnered with a company called Proov.

The company makes home tests that couples can use to help better their chances of achieving conception.

The goal of Proov is to make it easier to have children without it becoming too expensive.

The baby was huge news for Ashanti as it will be her first child.

Nelly’s Kids

Nelly already has a few children of his own.

He has a daughter named Chanelle and a son named Cornell Jr., who he shares with his ex, Channetta Valentine.

Nelly also adopted the children of his sister after she passed away from cancer.

So, his baby with Ashanti will be his fifth child.

Motherhood Is A Dream Come True For Ashanti 

According to Entertainment Tonight, Ashanti was shocked, happy, and emotional when she found out she was pregnant.

Being a mother was something she always dreamed about.

It was something she wanted so badly, and she felt that the timing was perfect.

She would later go on to have a maternity shoot celebrating her pregnancy, and she chose to have the setting on a beach.

Ashanti said that having the shoot out in nature and sunshine was perfect because they made her smile.

Being out in nature and under the sun is what makes her genuinely happy.

When Ashanti Suspected She Was Pregnant 

Ashanti also shared that she suspected she was pregnant after she missed her period after the Black and White Ball.

So, when fans speculated that Nelly and Ashanti were hinting that they were pregnant, they actually didn’t know by that point.

Ashanti was just trying to fix her clothes, but Nelly wanted to tease the crowd, so he put his hand there, too, to make something out of nothing.

How Ashanti Revealed She Was Pregnant To Nelly 

When Ashanti found out she was pregnant, she wasted no time in telling Nelly.

She FaceTimed and told him, and he said that he already knew.

She said he was smiling, and they were both happy about it.

The pregnancy has also been an easy one.

Ashanti said she felt blessed because she hasn’t suffered from any typical symptoms of pregnancy yet.

Since it’s been so easy, she’s been able to keep performing.

When Nelly And Ashanti Secretly Got Married

Now, Nelly and Ashanti are notoriously private.

While they announced they were engaged back in April 2024, they were actually already married by then.

Marriage records showed that Ashanti and Nelly got married back on December 27, 2023, in St. Louis, where Nelly is from.

Perhaps the couple wanted to have a private ceremony all to themselves and then a more public one for everyone else.

Either way, even though they broke up for some time, a surprise run-in allowed them to have another chance at love again.

This time, it seems to be going very well for them. 

Brad Pitt’s Baby Plans

When it comes to the Hollywood elite, Brad Pitt’s name has long been associated with stardom. But in recent years, headlines have been on his personal life instead of his blockbuster movies.

Now, Brad Pitt is considering growing his family with his fiancée, Ines de Ramon. You did really read correctly. Brad Pitt has kid plans on file.

Brad Pitt, 59, and Ines de Ramon, 30, have been together for over a year. Their friendship, which developed after Brad’s turbulent breakup with Angelina Jolie, looks to be strong. And now they are thinking about a major leap forward: living together and starting a family.

Jewelry designer Ines de Ramon has been a peace-keeping agent in Brad’s life. Their relationship is serious; the couple is looking at all possibilities to have a baby. Insiders tell us via In Touch Weekly that “Brad and Ines have been trying, they’ve not been successful yet, but they’re not giving up and he’s made it clear to friends it’s not going to be a one-and-done situation.”

Brad Is Confident in His Decision

“Yes, his relationship with his kids is very sad for him right now,” the insider continued. “But he insists that this isn’t a reaction to that pain, that he had every intention of starting a family with Ines regardless of that.”

Brad Pitt was known as a loving parent to his six children with Angelina Jolie, before the infamous plane incident. The actor has always been outspoken on the pleasures and difficulties of fatherhood.

Although it would be a major decision, Brad and Ines are approaching adding another child with great thought and enthusiasm. The insider said: “People can speculate about his motives all they want, but the fact is Brad wants two, maybe even three kids, with Ines and he would do the adoption option again in a heartbeat if that’s something Ines wanted too.”

For Brad, Ines de Ramon has been a kind and encouraging partner who infuses stability and happiness into his life. Friends of the pair have observed her positive impact on him.

Brad and Ines are dedicated to making the best decision for them, even if the plans of growing their family are still just speculation. Given Brad’s age, surrogacy and adoption are reasonable choices they are looking at. The insider said, “He has no doubt Ines will make a wonderful mom, the plan is to have at least one baby very soon, and then work quickly to have at least one or even two right after that.”

Brad’s Children Favor Their Mother

However, it’s always worth noting that insiders may not be accurate. This news came mere days after his daughter, Shiloh, filed to replace his last name with her mother’s.

While performing Outsiders on Broadway, fans noted that his daughter, Vivienne, did not include “Pitt” on the playbill. Zahara has also been introducing herself as Zahara Marley Jolie.

Being estranged from your children is obviously difficult, so it’s hard to imagine that Pitt wants to start a new family so soon. But, it may be his way of coping.

One thing is abundantly evident as Brad Pitt negotiates his business and personal life. He is ready to seize fresh opportunities and build a lovely future with Ines de Ramon. Whether by surrogacy, adoption, or natural conception, the possibility to grow their family is a lovely chapter just waiting to start.

Fans Are Concerned About Brittany Aldean’s Kids

Brittany Aldean’s whole world seems to focus on her luxurious lifestyle, but that’s just one thing that annoys a lot of folks about Jason Aldean’s second wife. Jason’s fans love him, but others are hugely critical of him and Brittany. Now, they’re getting more and more concerned about Brittany’s kids.

A Family & Friends thread on the Keeping Up With with The Aldeans Subreddit threw major shade at Brittany when she recently posted a photo with the caption, “Can’t wait to see my babies.” One thing’s sure about this Reddit forum. The users throw all the shade, and Brittany’s probably their favorite target.

The OP posted a scathing headline on the thread when they wrote that Brittany was “acknowledging she has children.” In their post, they added, “I guess she’ll only acknowledge her kids when she’s almost in the U.S.”

RELATED: What Happened to Jason Aldean’s Daughter Keeley?

This thread appeared after Brittany and Jason’s “couples only” trip to Switzerland, an expensive-looking adventure that other media outlets incorrectly described as a “family vacation.” Brittany constantly updates her followers with pictures and videos of her new homes, purchases, and fancy vacations. This romantic jaunt to Switzerland was no different. 

However, users on the thread aren’t fans of Brittany’s constant bragging. They ripped into Brittany and Jason’s alleged parenting style. Brittany was even accused of not caring about her little ones left behind until she was basically back home again. 

The first commenter cracked a biting joke, “Batsh** Barbie and Mr. McChicken Legs will check in for 5 minutes and then take off again.” They insincerely nominated the Aldeans as “Parents of the Year!”

“Mommy Dearest” Needs More Instagram Content

The next user had a different opinion. Although it was just as unflattering, it makes you wonder if this could be the real truth.

This user believes that Brittany’s son, Memphis, and daughter, Navy, “have probably enjoyed” the time away from not having Brittany’s phone crammed in their faces. They joked that Brittany, aka “Mommy Dearest,” would return soon and need more “Instagram content!”

Another user agreed with this comment and told users to “Look at [Brittany’s] Instagram Story.” They added, “Staged photo shoot on the stairs,” with a concerned-sounding, “Those poor kids.”

Other users returned to an obvious question on this thread. Why couldn’t Brittany bring her kids to Europe?

Someone said they “couldn’t fathom going on vacation to Europe” without their kids. They wanted to know why Brittany would “rob” her kids of the trip of their young lifetimes.

Someone else agreed, “I don’t get it either.” They made a valid point that Brittany could “literally” have afforded to “bring a nanny.” 

Another user also described Memphis and Navy as the Aldeans’ “poor kids.” They wrote that they weren’t being sarcastic by asking when Brittany and Jason “actually spend time with those kids?”

A different user shockingly alleged that Memphis and Navy don’t even go to any school, private or public. They claim that Brittany “doesn’t want to watch” her kids when she’s “drinking.”

Someone added that the kids just “interfere” with the Aldeans’ “partying, shopping, and dinners at fancy restaurants.” One commenter described Memphis and Navy as Brittany’s “insurance policy” because they seem convinced that Jason will eventually dump Brittany “like he did” with his first wife, Jessica.

Jason Commented on the Children’s Schooling

While some users called it “sad” and wondered whether Memphis and Navy even do any sports like baseball or gymnastics, another Redditor claimed to have inside knowledge. This Redditor claimed their “friend’s son” is on Memphis’ baseball team. They alleged that Memphis “rarely shows up” but added that Brittany’s son “has to get playing time because it’s a rec team.” 

Shockingly, the Redditor almost sounded like they were complimenting Jason and Brittany by admitting, “They also paid for a new field/turf in their hood.” Then they threw shade at the Aldeans when they alleged that Jason only paid for a new field so they wouldn’t have to drive too far to get to Memphis’ practice.

The strangest debate about Brittany’s kids is their education. In addition to the user who alleged that the kids don’t go to any school, a few users mentioned that Memphis and Navy appear to be “homeschooled.” 

But New Country 103.1 in South Florida reported in August 2023 that Jason talked about Memphis starting school “soon.” Jason claimed that Memphis would do “great” at school, then dropped the bombshell that Brittany was “not doing so good about it.”

Jason definitely made it sound like Memphis would not be homeschooled. According to New Country 103.1, he said that because Memphis and Navy “are so close in age and always together,” Memphis could use “a little bit of that separation to go and kind of do his own thing.” 

Brittany Loves To Flaunt Her “Baby-Free” Vacations

Brittany also posted an interesting question to her followers on social media in March 2022. Of course, she included a photo of herself smiling at Navy, who was puckering up her little lips to kiss Brittany. However, the caption on this post shows Brittany being indecisive about their future.

She wrote, “Decisions as parents during these times are tough. Thoughts on schools? Public? Private? Homeschool?” So far, details about Memphis and Navy’s education remain sketchy.

If Brittany is even aware of her mommy-shaming haters these days, she’s shockingly too self-absorbed to give two hoots. The truth is that Brittany has always flaunted her “baby-free” vacations, going way back to when Memphis was just three months old.

A website called Scary Mommy reported that Brittany had clapped back at “trolls shaming her for taking [a] baby-free vacation.” Brittany doesn’t seem to have changed her opinion since then.

When she took her first of many “baby-free” vacations, Brittany took on the “parent shamers” in an Instagram post that sounded reasonable, at the time. She wrote, in part, “Vacations are o.k. for new parents to take.” In typical Brittany fashion, she claimed she had been “pregnant for almost a year” and “cooped up in a house for weeks at a time,” and that’s why she and Jason needed “a little sunshine and adult time.”

It’s crazy to read Brittany’s demand that it was not okay for her followers to leave “ignorant comments.” She suggested that anyone following her who didn’t “agree” with her opinion could do her “a favor” and unfollow her.

Brittany’s Instagram is Full of Staged Content

This advice is coming from Brittany, whose controversial transgender comments landed her in hot water two years ago. Brittany also continues to post “baseless conspiracy theories” about her favorite candidate for president, the recently convicted Donald Trump. 

When Donald was still president, Brittany was heading out for her first vacation without her baby son. But before she left home, she posted a photo with Memphis beside her. Brittany claimed in her post, “Haven’t even left Nashville, and I miss him so much it hurts.”

While Scary Mommy sided with Brittany and Jason’s “need to get away,” their article included comments from moms who were quick to slam Brittany. One commenter wrote, “Hell no, I couldn’t do it.” Another wrote that Brittany “didn’t have to leave” Memphis behind, adding that they didn’t know anyone who would or could leave their infant at that young age. 

Scary Mommy also claimed that Brittany’s Instagram was a “tribute” to baby Memphis. They wrote that Brittany “regularly posts adorable pictures of her son doing everything from bathing and eating to just plain looking adorable.”

But is that really why Brittany keeps posting staged-looking content about her kids on social media? If you’re patient enough to scroll through endless content about the Aldeans’ luxurious lifestyle, you will eventually find evidence of genuine family vacations taken with Memphis and Navy.

Taste of Country reported on Jason and Brittany’s “palatial” beach home in the Turks and Caicos. There are photos of their kids with them in the Caribbean.

But Taste of Country also wrote that Jason and Brittany are more “passionate about home design and renovation, and they frequently hop on social media to show off their latest projects.” 

The article explained that Brittany had recently “posted a video tour” of their “luxurious vacation home.” They also called the property a “beach getaway” that the Aldeans use “to relax during their downtime.”

According to Taste of Country, Brittany squeezed in “a few shots” of Memphis and Navy in her “video montage,” but the majority of the video was devoted to their vacation home’s “massive and luxuriously-appointed interior.”

Leaked Audio of Meek Mill and Diddy

Since the initial allegations dropped, Diddy has been the number one trending topic on all of social media. Every new allegation that aurfaces recently seems to be even more shocking than the last.

A leaked audio believed to be of Meek Mill and Diddy has gone viral. The truth behind the leak and its contents will leave you shocked.

RELATED: The Warning Signs of Diddy’s Collapse

Recently, an explicit audiotape surfaced online featuring voices that allegedly belonged to Diddy and Meek Mill. The audio featured two male voices that seemed to be engaging in inappropriate acts. It was posted by a man who is alleged to be Diddy’s former bodyguard which only fueled the allegations.

Since it dropped, the internet has been going crazy with opinions about Diddy, especially since this audio was supporting the already popular allegations against him. Those allegations were made by popular producer Lil Rod Aka Rodney Jones on February 27th, 2024.

These weren’t just rumors or call outs. Lil Rod sued Diddy to court in a $30 million civil suit with allegations of misconduct, and the details of it were shocking.

Lil Rod Wasn’t Diddy’s Only Victim

He was living with Diddy in his home to craft his 2023 album, The Love Album. During that time, Lil Rod alleged that Diddy touched him inappropriately many times. He also alleged that at the points he refused, Diddy brandished weapons at him and threatened him, saying that he got away with shooting people because of his connections.

Lil Rod revealed that when he reported to Diddy’s Chief of Staff, Kristina Khorram, about Combs’ actions, she brushed it off as his normal behavior. But there’s more.

Alledgedly, Lil Rod wasn’t Diddy’s only victim. That’s right, Lil Rod further revealed that Diddy was also conducting these inappropriate acts with underage girls in his home.

The details revealed that Diddy invited the girls to his parties, drugged them, and had his way with them. The long list of claims sent the public spiraling.

But no one was surprised because over the years, Diddy has picked up an alarming number of allegations. They date all the way back to the 90s.

In 1991, a 19-year-old college student named Joi Dickerson-Deal claimed Diddy drugged her while they were out on a date. Then, he took her home, SA’d her, recorded it, and shared it with all his friends. At first, no one believed her, but shortly after, another allegation surfaced that changed everyone’s perspective.

Just a year after Joi’s claims, several people were killed and injured during a celebrity basketball game in Harlem. Diddy was one of the promoters.

People were enraged, but no charges were filed. It was written off as an event that wasn’t caused by him. However, the next one wasn’t an easy escape, as he was caught red handed.

Multiple Women Have Testified Against Diddy

In December 1999, Diddy and Jennifer Lopez were arrested after a shooting in a nearby club. They were both arrested for criminal possession of a weapon and possession of stolen property. Once again, Diddy was acquitted of his offense.

He laid low for a while but by 2017, the allegations began to pop up again. This time, Cindy Rueda, his chef, was suing him for harassment, retaliation, defamation, failure to pay overtime and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The claims must have had some truth to them because local outlets reported that Diddy settled with an undisclosed amount, two years after the suit.

In the same year, his ex-girlfriend, Gina Huynh told blogger Tasha K that she was physically abused by Diddy throughout their five-year relationship. She described in detail how he once stomped her on the stomach, then proceeded to punch her in the back of the head.

Her claims were supported by those of Diddy’s later ex-girlfriend, Cassandra Ventura, an R&B singer who filed a lawsuit in 2023. Her claims were even more brutal.

She alleged that during their lengthy relationship, Diddy had reportedly raped her as well as forced her to have relations with others for his pleasure. In addition to that, he physically assaulted her on multiple occasions. When she tried to leave, he would fly into uncontrollable rage.

More Evidence Surfaced Supporting the Rumor

Only five days later, another woman anonymously named Jane Doe, who was a former Syracuse University student, sued Diddy for allegedly drugging, raping, and recording her. She stated in the suit that she went out for dinner with Diddy back in 1991. After dinner, he drove her to his recording studio, where he had relations with her, without her consent.

Days after the incident, she alleged that a male friend told her he watched the recording, along with other men. These allegations made it easy for people to believe that one of the voices in the audio belonged to Diddy.

To support the argument that the other person was Meek Mill, Lil Rod’s court documents were released. They revealed Diddy reportedly had relations with a rapper from Philadelphia who dated Nicki Minaj. That description narrowed the allegations down.

As the video trended, more evidence was released to back up the claims. Multiple pictures surfaced that featured Meek Mill standing quite close to Diddy. Fans took interest in a picture where both men were wearing the exact same type of shirt and posing together.

A video also surfaced that showed the two men in a club where Diddy, again, was standing beside Meek Mill and looking up at him as he sang. To add to that, fans dug out clips from an old livestream where Nicki Minaj told Soulja Boy that there were a lot of undercover brothers in the industry.

Fans speculated that she was reportedly talking about Diddy and Meek Mill’s relationship, which she came to have knowledge about while she was dating the rapper. When everyone saw this, they leapt to the conclusion that the two men in the audio were indeed Diddy and Meek Mill.

Meek Mill Threatened Those Spreading Rumors

Media personality Andrew Tate concurred. He tweeted that no man would ever approach him about intimate activity, indirectly referring to Meek Mill. That prompted Meek Mill’s response, which was even more shocking.

He tweeted that he did not have intimate activity with another man and he was going to trash anyone who said otherwise. He stayed true to his threat. Days later, he sent the police to the house of the infamous media personality, DJ Akademics, who was talking about the allegations on a livestream.

To top it off, he went on a rampage on twitter, posting tweets that emphasized he wasn’t gay. Fans found it odd how seriously he was defending himself and threatening people from spreading allegations that were untrue. They also found it odd that Diddy had nothing to say, except to call out Lil Rod for making false claims about him.

The entire thing was extremely messy but it became even messier when Meek Mill tried to ride the fame. Amidst the negative publicity, he decided to drop news that he was releasing a new album soon.

Diddy May Have Orchestrated an Accident

That was where tragedy struck. Meek Mill was involved in a car accident shortly after the whole event on March 2nd 2024.

He shared pictures of the crashed car on his Instagram with a caption which stated that the brake slipped off while he was driving. Thankfully, the rapper revealed he was okay, but conspiracy theories were already brewing.

Fans alleged that the accident didn’t just happen. Instead, it was orchestrated by Diddy to put an end to the rumors. One fan tweeted that brake pedals didn’t just fall off and another fan referenced the time in 2023 where Diddy allegedly blew up Kid Cudi’s car. That supposedly happened as a result of Cassie trying to leave him for Cudi.

However, the claims about the two men in the audio have been refuted by multiple sources. A Medium article claimed that it was an audio created as a joke after the allegations surfaced against Diddy. Then, fans came to their rescue, stating that the video was from an adult clip and not the two men.

Meek Mill also went on to express his frustration over the multiple claims and allegations. He tweeted that the rumors were affecting his relationship with his son and confusing the little boy. The heartbreaking tweet led even more fans to question the audio and push back on the rumors.

King Charles’ Biggest Regret During Cancer Battle

According to a royal expert, there’s one thing that King Charles regrets more than anything else. He’s been going through a rough time since the beginning of this year, due to his battle with cancer. 

But the thing that’s been on his mind the most actually has to do with his relationship with his grandchildren. What is it that he regrets so much, and is there any way to fix it?

According to royal commentator Michael Cole, King Charles has been thinking a lot about his two youngest grandkids. If you don’t know, that’s Archie and Lilibet, the kids of Prince Harry, Charles’s youngest son. 

Michael recently spoke with The Daily Mail and explained that Charles apparently has a lot of regrets when it comes to these two kids, specifically to do with the fact that he has pretty much no relationship with either of them. 

This is a big difference from his relationship with his other three grandkids, George, Charlotte, and Louis, who are Prince William’s kids. Charles reportedly has a great relationship with them. He sees them often and is a really hands-on grandpa who’s just generally involved in their lives.

The same can definitely not be said about Archie and Lilibet. While Charles sees his other three grandkids all the time, he’s only seen Archie and Lilibet a handful of times. He’s met Archie a total of three times, and it’s even worse with Lilibet, who he’s only seen once. 

Archie was born in 2019, so he’s five years old now, and Lilibet is three years old. Obviously, they’re still small kids, but they’ve hardly seen their grandpa.

Charles Wants to Make a Change

This is exactly what Charles is apparently worried about now. It’s also the fact that his future is very much uncertain now because of his illness. The whole situation is most likely making him think about his family and relationships more than usual. 

This is the one thing he’s truly sorry about. According to the Daily Mail article, he would really like to change this situation and start seeing Archie and Lilibet more. 

But that’s something that’s much more easily said than done. There are a lot of things and circumstances standing between him and his two grandkids. 

RELATED: Why Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Hide Their Children

For one, it’s obviously the fact that Charles lives in the UK and Archie and Lilibet live in California with their parents. He’s pretty much half the world away from them. That makes it hard to organize visits or other kinds of meetups. 

But if you’ve been following the royal family at all in the past couple of years, you know that that’s far from the only reason Charles hasn’t been seeing Archie and Lilibet. The real reason is that their parents, Harry and Meghan, are pretty much estranged from the royal family. 

Meghan Accused the Royal Family of Racism

There’s been a lot of scandal and drama around this whole situation. It all started when Harry and Meghan decided to leave the UK and move to the US. 

This was back in 2020 when Archie was just about one year old. You wouldn’t alone could have caused a complete rift between them and the rest of the royal family. 

They weren’t exactly on good terms with the royals at that point. But for the most part, the relationship was definitely still salvageable. 

But that was before Harry and Meghan sat down for an interview with Oprah in March 2021. They exposed exactly why they decided to leave the royal family. 

Some of the things they said didn’t make the royals look good, especially the accusations of racism that Meghan said she was dealing with while living with the royal family in the UK.

One of the things she brought up was that, allegedly, before her son Archie was born, some of the members of the royal family were concerned about what color his skin would be and whether he would take after the black side of his family. This was pretty outrageous to hear, honestly. The royal family wasn’t happy that Meghan came out and revealed that one of them said this. 

She and Harry didn’t specify who in the royal family it was that brought this up. The only thing they did clarify was that it wasn’t the late Queen Elizabeth. 

Harry’s Memoir Was the Final Blow

After this interview came out, people were upset at the royal family. Their public image really suffered because of the interview, and it heavily damaged their relationship with Harry and Meghan. 

But this was really only the start of everything. Less than two years later, Harry published his memoir, Spare. That’s really when any hope of salvaging the relationship was lost. 

The things that Harry exposed in his memoir were beyond what anyone was expecting. After the interview, the royal family’s image suffered. But after Spare came out, it was hit with an even bigger blow. 

RELATED: Why The Royal Family Canceled All Events

Obviously, they’re still the British Royal Family. It would take a lot for their public image to be completely destroyed because a lot of people still completely adore them. But that number has been getting steadily smaller over the years. 

Harry and Meghan’s activities and exposés have only expedited the process. All of this obviously damaged Harry and Meghan’s relationship with the royals, especially with Charles, who is now king and the head of the family. 

This rift between them is the real reason why he’s not been able to see Harry and Meghan’s kids. It gets hard to arrange visits when the two families are barely on speaking terms with each other. But now, it seems like Charles would like to change that, especially because of his current situation. 

Harry Stopped Visiting Charles

He’s been keeping a low profile in recent months. He’s had to step back from his royal duties for a time, to focus on treatment and battling the illness. His public appearances as king have been put on the back burner, at least for a while. 

Buckingham Palace announced that he was diagnosed with cancer in February. Soon after that, Harry actually flew to the UK to visit his dad. 

According to reports, the two of them only talked for less than an hour. After that, Harry left and didn’t come back. 

He has actually visited the UK since then. Harry came back to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, which is a sports event for injured service people and veterans that Harry founded in 2014. Even though he was physically in the UK, he didn’t actually visit Charles.

The official explanation was that Charles was unfortunately too busy for a meeting with Harry to be scheduled. Honestly, that just sounds like an excuse, especially since Charles is sick and that’s his son we’re talking about. 

Charles Is Determined to Fix Their Relationship

It just really looks like he and Harry weren’t able to reconcile their differences the first time he came to visit after Charles’s diagnosis. Now they’re still not on speaking terms, even though Charles’s future is uncertain. It is just really unfortunate news for Charles’s relationship with Archie and Lilibet. 

According to the Daily Mail article, Charles is determined to make the situation work somehow and start seeing them more. He reportedly sent Lilibet a gift and a card for her birthday on the 4th of June. 

According to another royal expert, Tom Quinn, who spoke to the Mirror, Charles was not invited to Lilibet’s third birthday party. Harry and Meghan reportedly threw her a massive celebration and didn’t invite any of the other royals. Tom told the Mirror that Harry knew that the other royals wouldn’t have come anyway, which was part of the reason he didn’t invite them. 

That’s another thing about this situation. Charles is the king of England. It’s not like he can just pack his bags and travel to California. 

His visiting another country is always going to be a big deal. So, any visit with Harry and Meghan’s kids would have to happen in the UK, especially now that he’s seriously ill. 

But for that to happen, he and Harry would first have to start working on closing the rift between them. But it looks like neither of them is ready to take the first step. 

Charles could definitely build a relationship with his grandkids if he and Harry figure out their differences. The question is whether or not they’ll ever get to that point. 

Exposing Tyler Perry’s Secret Relationship and Son

Tyler Perry is pretty much one of the most famous men on the planet. Yet somehow, he still manages to keep his personal life pretty private, including his relationships.

But you know what they say about secrets – you can only keep them for so long, especially when it involves other people and a child. And one of Tyler’s biggest secrets involves both.

So, without wasting any time, let’s dive straight into the story behind Tyler’s secret relationship and son.

RELATED: Justin Timberlake’s Lawyer Breaks Silence

There’s not much known about the number of partners Tyler has had over the years. The one relationship that everyone seems to be aware of is the one he had with Gelila Bekele.

Gelila and Tyler met at a Prince concert in 2007 when Gelila was 21 and Tyler 38. They struck up a relationship, albeit a platonic one, and kept in touch afterward.

According to them, it took two years for them to see each other as more than friends. That was when they started dating.

Tyler said that they were very, very, very in love. It was like a breath of fresh air, being with Gelila.

Their Relationship Quickly Fell Apart

Things between them continued to move smoothly. By the time 2014 rolled around, Gelila found out that she was pregnant with their first child, a son named Aman.

Unfortunately, not too long after the birth of Aman, their relationship started to fall apart, and they had to go their separate ways. They’ve been good co-parents to Aman ever since.

But get this – apparently, Tyler and Gelila’s relationship was actually a huge scam. Yes, you heard that right.

Apparently, Gelila was just with Tyler for show. She allegedly wanted to use him to boost her public image.

Not only was Gelila allegedly with Tyler because of his status, but she also had another boyfriend who she was secretly seeing at the same time. This guy was a man named Ronnie. Apparently, Ronnie and Gelila had been together for years, even before Tyler came into the picture.

Now, you might think that Gelila is the bad person here. But you’re going to want to think again once you hear the role Tyler had to play in all this.

Allegedly, he also knew that Gelila was in a happy relationship before she met him. And he still agreed to get into a relationship with her. He was supposedly even paying her to date him because he wanted to save face publicly.

At the time, there were a lot of rumors going around about Tyler’s real orientation. Though Tyler has repeatedly tried to let everyone know that he is straight, not many people believe him.

The Case Against Tyler’s Orientation

The evidence against him isn’t helping his case much, either. Back then, Tyler frequented gay clubs. And it didn’t just end with him visiting them if you know what I mean.

These rumors were shared by Walter Lee Hampton. Walter even said there were times when Tyler tried to pay him off, just so he would stop talking about him and his business. But Walter isn’t the type of person who will just shut up if you give him money, which is why the rest of us heard of this story, too.

Tyler wasn’t very happy about this. Just days after Walter dropped this bombshell, it was revealed that he somehow ended up with a wound that required 120 stitches to be sealed shut.

There were a lot of theories about what happened to him. The biggest one was that Tyler had sent some people to teach Walter a lesson. Then, Walter came out to insist that a glass door had fallen on him and that Tyler had nothing to do with it.

But get this – after this incident, Walter never really spoke about Tyler and his alleged preferences ever again. So, was he actually being honest? It’s hard to say.

Tyler Kept His Promise to Gelila

Let’s get back to Tyler and Gelila. A few years into their supposed romance, Gelila started directing and producing her own movies. She slowly started making her own mark on the entertainment industry.

If you haven’t guessed it already, this was all thanks to Tyler. This was how he kept his part of the alleged deal he had made with her back in 2009.

Even now that they are no longer together, they still work together. In his 2023 release, Maxine’s Baby: The Tyler Perry Story, Gelila was the one in the director’s chair.

But let’s get back to when they were still together. I guess you could say that Tyler and Gelila’s relationship wasn’t really fooling anyone anymore.

No matter how much they kept insisting that they were in love with each other, people still claimed that they were faking everything. Then, before we knew it, they announced that they were having a baby, just like that.

According to Tyler, this was a major shock for both of them. He found out about the pregnancy via Facetime after Gelila called him holding up a positive pregnancy test. In Tyler’s words, there was no other person on the planet that he would rather have a baby with because Gelila was such an amazing person.

Tyler Wants to Give Aman the World

This was how Tyler’s son Aman came into the picture. Tyler described Aman as his greatest joy. He also said that his son helped him heal his trauma.

It’s no secret that Tyler had a very difficult childhood, as he grew up in a harmful home. The trauma he suffered as a child was something he carried with him into adulthood. But when Aman came into the picture, he was finally ready to let everything go.

Unlike his father, Tyler is determined to be compassionate toward Aman. He recalled a time when Aman tried being rebellious at home, but he was quick to let him know that what he was doing was wrong.

He told his son that he and Gelila loved him very much and wouldn’t watch him turn into a bad kid. Somewhere along the line, Tyler got really emotional and had to tap out of the conversation after realizing that no one had ever spoken to him this kindly. If someone had, maybe things would have turned out differently for him.

Despite the fact that Tyler is more than ready to give Aman the whole world, he’s also learning to draw the line at certain things, especially when it comes to money.

According to Tyler, he has lots of friends with spoiled kids. The last thing he wants is for Aman to be a spoiled kid, too.

So, he’s very careful around spending when it comes to Aman. He wants to teach him the value of hard work.

Gelila Wanted Out

For a while, Tyler, Gelila, and Aman really seemed like the perfect family. It was a major shock when Tyler announced that he and Gelila were going their separate ways.

Even though it seemed like their relationship had simply run its course, there’s a theory that suggests otherwise. Allegedly, Gelila got tired of the whole act and wanted out.

Supposedly, if it was up to Tyler, it would have gone on for much longer. But since they already had a kid together, he didn’t get much of a say in it all. The two of them broke up, and that was that.

Since then, Tyler has been in a couple of relationships here and there, but nothing serious has ever come out of any of it. It makes you wonder why that is.

Maybe Tyler is just really private, and that’s why we haven’t heard about any of his potentially serious relationships. At the end of the day, this is his business, and if he wants to keep things private, that’s his right.
