The Royal Family is Falling Apart

What’s going on with the royal family? It really seems like everything is falling apart for them right now. There are at least 4 family members who’ve dealt with serious health issues over the last year.

Things just aren’t going well for the royals. Is this the end of the royal family once and for all?

Everything seems to be going wrong for the royal family. Three of the royals have been dealing with cancer over the last year or so.

And just recently, another royal had an accident that actually caused them to have amnesia. Princess Anne was taken to the hospital on Sunday, June 23.

Buckingham Palace issued a statement about what happened to her. They said that she “sustained minor injuries and concussion.”

Apparently, she had an accident on the Gatcombe Park estate. It looks like she was struck by a horse.

Anne is an equestrian, and she really loves riding horses. But she’s also in her 70s now, so she really needs to be more careful. This seems to be what her daughter, Zara Tindall, thinks, too.

After Anne’s accident, a source close to the family spoke to OK! Magazine. This insider said that Zara has been worried about something like this happening for years now.

It sounds like Zara would love for her mom to take it slow. But Anne hasn’t really been able to do that, mainly because of everything else going on with the royals right now.

Princess Anne Can’t Remember the Accident

Things have really been falling apart for them over the last year. And as a result, Anne hasn’t really been able to take some time off to just relax and breathe. Now, she’s had this accident.

Hopefully, she’ll be fine. But according to OK! Magazine, her daughter is really shaken by what happened.

The insider said that Anne’s concussion led to her having amnesia. Obviously, that was really difficult for Zara to deal with. She was supposedly hoping that this was just a temporary thing.

But even then, it would still be pretty worrying, especially since the initial statement from the Palace made it sound like nothing too serious happened. We were just told that Anne was taken to the Southmead Hospital in Bristol, England, as a precaution. They just wanted to observe her for a little bit.

Everyone was expecting her to make a fast recovery. So, with this memory loss complication, it sounds like things were actually a little more serious than we were initially told.

However, it does look like Anne was being taken care of really well at the hospital. Her husband, Timothy Laurence, also shared a statement.

He thanked the staff at the Bristol Hospital for all their hard work. He said that they showed expertise and kindness during Anne’s stay there. Timothy later told someone that Anne would come home when she was ready.

Anne Has Been Released from the Hospital

OK! Magazine also reported on what another insider had to say about this whole thing. Katie Nicholl, a royal expert, shared her understanding of the situation. She said that the hospital was taking really good care of Anne.

She was under surveillance because they didn’t want to take any chances. They wanted to make sure that she was stable before they let her go home.

Katie also talked a little bit more about Anne’s memory loss. She said that it didn’t sound like Anne’s amnesia was too serious.

Reportedly, the only thing Anne couldn’t remember was the accident itself. She was asked about what happened, but she just couldn’t recall the incident. It sounds like she might’ve blacked out after the horse struck her.

From what Katie said, that was basically the only thing Anne couldn’t remember. All her other memories seemed to be intact.

Hopefully, the accident really wasn’t too serious, and she’ll be better in no time. She has actually since been released from the hospital. So, things seem to be going well.

Even if everything does turn out fine for Anne, OK! Magazine’s insider still pointed out that this was a massive wake-up call for the royals. Anne is an important part of the royal family.

She’s been working hard for them for years. They’ve come to depend on her in many ways.

An accident like this must’ve really shaken them, especially since it seems like they’ve been relying on her more and more lately. This does make a lot of sense, considering what else is happening in the royal family.

King Charles Has Shortened His Tour

Anne isn’t the only one who’s been dealing with health concerns lately. Obviously, there’s also King Charles.

Charles hasn’t been King for very long at all. He only became King in September 2022, after his mom, Queen Elizabeth, passed away. This means that he was on the throne for not even a year and a half before the Palace announced the terrible news about his health.

Charles is currently dealing with cancer. He first found out about his diagnosis after he had a separate procedure to treat his enlarged prostate. Now, he’s receiving treatments.

This is having a huge impact on him, both personally and professionally. Just recently, it was announced that his October tour in Australia would be shorter than initially expected.

Charles was supposed to visit Australia, Samoa, and New Zealand on his tour. But now, it looks like he’s going over there for just 6 days. He’s not going to New Zealand at all.

He obviously has to prioritize his health, so this decision was probably made with that in mind. But it also implies that Charles isn’t doing the best, since the plans had to change recently. That’s really worrying.

Kate Opened Up About Her Cancer Treatment

What makes all of this even worse is that he still isn’t the only person struggling right now. Princess Kate is also dealing with her own cancer diagnosis.

In January of this year, it was announced that she had to have a planned abdominal surgery. After that, she took some time off her royal duties.

She wasn’t seen in public for ages. Eventually, a couple of months later, it was announced that she had cancer, too. Kate is currently receiving chemotherapy treatment.

On June 14, she opened up about how that’s been going on her and William’s official Instagram. She said that there were some good days. But she also has bad days sometimes.

The treatment is still ongoing. Hopefully, Kate and Charles will both be able to beat their cancer.

Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson Is Also Undergoing Treatment

Did you know that they’re not the only two royals dealing with the disease right now? There’s another member of the family who’s been diagnosed with cancer.

This is Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson. Fergie is the ex-wife of Prince Andrew. The two of them were married from 1986 to 1996. 

They’re no longer together, but they’re still super close. They apparently even still live together to this day. This is probably good for Fergie, who needs all the support she can get.

Last year, it was announced that she had breast cancer. She ended up getting a mastectomy.

Everyone hoped that this was it and that she would be healthy from then on. But in January of this year, she found out that she also had skin cancer.

As of June of this year, she was still receiving treatment. Hopefully, the treatment will be successful.

It really seems like the royal family is going through a lot right now. So many members are dealing with serious health issues and concerns.

It must be putting a lot of stress on the whole institution, especially since three of the people who are struggling right now are actually working royals. Anne, Charles, and Kate usually have a lot of responsibilities. But right now, they obviously all have to take it slow.

That’s really important, and it’s good that they seem to be doing that. But at the same time, all the work still needs to be done.

So, it’s likely that the royals are all pretty stressed right now. Hopefully, things get better for them soon.

Did Shantel Jackson Throw Shade At Nelly and Ashanti’s Relationship?

In the middle of all the crazy attention and celebrations surrounding Nelly and Ashanti’s recent news, one of the rapper’s old flames has had her say. 

Before reuniting with Ashanti, one of Nelly’s most serious relationships was with Shantel Jackson

A few months ago, Shantel raised some eyebrows during a live stream online in which she took questions from her followers. 

Did Nelly’s Ex Shantel Throw Shade? 

One of her answers in particular got fans wondering if she was throwing some shade at Nelly and Ashanti getting back together

The video started innocently enough with Shantel telling her followers that she was trying to utilize all of her social media platforms. 

She stated that she was happy, and she seemed to be enjoying answering questions about her life right now. 

When asked, she confirmed that she was single and added that she was ready to mingle.

At one point, however, one follower asked her a question that seemed to be a reference to Nelly and Ashanti

The question was what advice she had for someone who went back to somebody they really loved. 

This was in January of this year, a short time after Nelly and Ashanti secretly got married

Shantel Said ‘I Don’t Go Back. I Don’t Go Backwards’

When she answered the fan question, Shantel started off trying to be diplomatic. 

She said that if it worked out, it was something that people should do. 

However, what she went on to say seemed to suggest that there was more to it. 

She played with her earring as she stated, “I don’t go back. I don’t go backwards,” before laughing and moving on to the next question. 

How Nelly and Shantel Jackson Met

Fans would definitely have joined the dots regarding Shantel’s past with Nelly and what Ashanti meant in their relationship. 

Although Ashanti and Nelly seemed to many to be destined to be together, for many years, Shantel was the woman in the rapper’s life.

She dated Nelly for many years after they first got together in 2015.

Nelly met Shantel shortly after she split up with boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, who she was actually engaged to for a number of years.

There had been rumors for a while that the couple ended things because of cheating.

Although Floyd was originally believed to be the guilty party, rumors soon started swirling that Shantel had had an affair with a well-known hip hop star.

Although nothing was ever proven, Nelly and Shantel went public as a couple that same year.

Shantel Was Ready To Get Married To Nelly 

And things quickly became serious for the new lovers.

Shantel quickly started putting out signals that she was ready to get married.

And the signs weren’t always that subtle.

In 2016, she shared an Instagram post featuring an elephant family of three, a father and mother with a baby elephant.

Though probably accidental, it seemed pretty strange to a lot of people that the picture didn’t acknowledge the kids Nelly already had.

Another sign came when Shantel tagged Nelly and herself as Mr. and Mrs. Adventure while they were vacationing in Bali.

Although they parted ways without ever actually going down the aisle, there was no doubt that they both took their relationship seriously.

And Nelly clearly wanted Shantel to be close to his family, as she even featured on his short-lived reality show Nellyville.

For a long time, it looked like Nelly was taking Shantel just as seriously as she was taking him. 

Why Did Nelly And Shantel Break Up?

So what happened?

Shantel opened up about the end of their time together while appearing on The Real in 2021. 

She stressed that they didn’t actually end things on bad terms, but that distance grew between them due to their busy schedules. 

In the early part of their relationship, according to Shantel, she was out on the road with Nelly most of the time. 

But eventually, she decided to focus on herself and build her own company, Shoe Gummi, which was when the problems apparently started. 

Nelly continued to tour, with Shantel spending more time at home. 

Shantel Said She and Nelly Started To ‘Grow Apart’

Shantel said that they started to “grow apart.”

However, they tried their best to keep things going. 

Shantel told The Real hosts that they decided to take a break with the intention of coming back to figure things out between them. 

However, the time for rekindling their relationship never seemed to arrive, and the couple split up for good. 

Shantel made her revelations about the break up in 2021, just a couple of months after Nelly and Ashanti were reunited in a moment that went viral during Fat Joe and Ja Rule’s Verzuz battle. 

Fans Call Out Nelly And Shantel 

With so many people talking about Nelly and Ashanti again after so many years, it was inevitable that Shantel’s name got pulled into the mix after her appearance on The Real.

A lot of fans made it clear that they didn’t believe that busy schedules was the reason for Shantel and Nelly’s split.

Instead, they suggested that Nelly’s devotion to Ashanti drove him away. 

One fan commented online to say, “That man wants Ashanti.”

Others suggested that Shantel would have been better off leaving Nelly earlier, as the rapper had failed to prove his commitment to her.

One fan commented, “7 years and he never gave you a ring… u should’ve moved on!”

And now, after Shantel’s interesting comments online from a few months ago, it looks like she might be feeling the same way. 

Shantel herself first broke the news of her split from Nelly on social media.

One of her followers commented on a post she shared asking if they were still together. 

Shantel responded in the comments section to confirm that they were now just friends.

Nelly’s Change Of Heart 

This came as a shock to many, especially after everything that Nelly had previously said about the relationship in public. 

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, he even hinted that he could see them staying together forever.

He said that he didn’t want his life not to have Shantel in it. 

He added, “We have been seeing each other for five or six years. Anytime you can connect with someone like that, it works in the long run.”

It now seems crazy that Nelly was considering going all the way with Shantel, only to end up marrying the woman he was dating before getting together with her in the first place.

Shantel’s Connection With Nelly And Ashanti

Despite the fact that it’s been many years since Shantel was with Nelly, she keeps finding herself mentioned in connection to Ashanti and Nelly’s very public second romance. 

And some of the things people have been saying are just straight petty. 

Her name was brought up last October after Ashanti threw Nelly a surprise birthday party.

The swanky fancy dress celebrations even included a surprise birthday present Ashanti bought the rapper. 

The singer bought Nelly a customized convertible Chevrolet Impala reminiscent of the vehicle mentioned in Nelly’s hit song Ride Wit Me. 

The touching gesture was filmed and later shared on Instagram, showing how delighted Nelly was with his gift. 

But somehow, some fans managed to make the moment all about Shantel.

Reporting on the birthday party, Atlanta Black Star mentioned that fans commented on the post with messages such as: “Ms Jackson ain’t never did no [stuff] like this.”

However, Shantel has made it clear that she has no intention of looking back, even if Nelly’s fans continue to do so.

Lil Wayne Speaks Out About Drake and Kendrick Lamar Feud

Lil Wayne had some words to share on Drake and his feud with Kendrick. But, some people seem to think his allegiance may have shifted a bit. 

Is Wayne turning on Drizzy or just trying to help? Here’s the info:

Lil Wayne Says ‘Keep it Canadian’ 

    As the feud between Drake and Kendrick seems to have etched itself into hip hop culture at this point, it should come as no surprise that the man who put Drake in the spotlight at the start would eventually need to chime in.

    Lil Wayne stated his piece in an interview that was shared on Reddit, pointing out how he had hoped Drake would always be authentic in his music and rap about the things he was familiar with. He stated:

    “Like, keep it Canadian man. 

    ‘Keep it Canadian’ is now my new favorite thing to say. 

    I was the one to tell him don’t change anything. 

    You’re coming over here […] you got to start rapping about the things I rap about […] Don’t do none of that.

    Please rap about your little TV show.

    Whatever you want to rap about […] Rap about girls. Do that. That’s what you’re good at. Cuz you know, of course, it’s only natural for you to come over and just think ‘you know, if I’m with Wayne then I’m gonna rock like Wayne’, you know? 

    So that was one of the main things I had to tell him from the jump. Like, hey don’t change anything. Don’t start singing about killing nobody.”

    Kendrick Lamar Keeps Taking Cheap Shots 

      Kendrick has definitely struck a few nerves while dissing Drake and lines like what he dropped in “Euphoria” have gotten increasingly hostile. According to Sportskeeda, he rapped the following:

      “I believe you don’t like women, it’s real competition, you might pop a– with ’em  

      Let’s speak on percentage, show me your splits, I’ll make sure I double back with ya  

      You were signed to a n—a that’s signed to a n—a that said he was signed to that n—a 

      Try cease and desist on the “Like That” record? 

      Ho, what? You ain’t like that record? 

      “Back To Back,” I like that record 

      I’ma get back to that, for the record”

      Now, that’s pretty personal, but Kendrick’s jabs have only gotten more so over time and Drake has traded plenty of blows to boot. 

      According to Sportskeeda, he went so far as to feed Kendrick false information (about an 11-year-old daughter) through his network to get him to bring it up in his diss tracks. Then he gloated about it in his own diss track, “The Heart Part 6”, stating:

      RELATED: Taylor Swift Writes a Diss Seemingly About Kim Kardashian

      “We plotted for a week and then we fed you the information 

      A daughter that’s eleven years old, I bet he takes it 

      We thought about giving a fake name or a destination 

      But you so thirsty, you not concerned with investigation 

      Instead you in Advantage Studio, it’s a celebration 

      You gotta learn to fact check things and be less impatient”

      Lil Wayne Still Supports Drake

        Although Wayne wants Drake to ‘keep it Canadian’, he has made it pretty clear that he’s still in his corner and doesn’t support Kendrick.

        That being said, some fans have highlighted how Wayne’s words point directly to one of the things Drake has been called out for the most by Kendrick – authenticity and rapping about his real persona.

        As one reddit commenter put it:

        “Well we can certainly acknowledge that Wayne has his fair share of flaws, too. Regardless, I don’t think Drake was always like this. 

        Notice how Wayne specifically acknowledges in the interview that he understands the “natural” pressure Drake might have felt to act a certain way to present himself as an “authentic” rapper.

        Obviously, as time has told, Drake succumbed to that pressure and has sort of been digging a deeper and deeper hole to try and prove himself as something that he’s not rather than truly just be his authentic self.”

        Savannah Chrisley Speaks Out About Appeal

        Savannah Chrisley has been keeping everyone up to speed on her parents’ prison situation. Recently, she used her podcast, Unlocked, to give a bittersweet update about her mom and dad.

        While Julie Chrisley recently got some good news, the same thing can’t be said about her husband Todd. You guys won’t be able to handle all the crazy and juicy details about the Chrisleys’ neverending family drama. 

        In 2022, Julie was sentenced to 7 years behind bars for tax evasion and bank fraud, per ABC News. She has already spent 18 months behind bars, which means that she theoretically still has a long way to go. But that’s not actually the case.

        She must’ve been super happy to find out that her case would be sent to the lower court for resentencing. According to ABC News, one of the arguments from her appeal claimed that the district court made an error in sentencing her by holding her accountable for the loss amount of the entire bank fraud scheme.

        It turns out that there might be some truth to that argument. The judges revealed that they couldn’t identify the evidence they relied on to hold Julie accountable for losses before 2007. They determined that neither the district court nor the government directed them to any evidence that Julie was involved in the conspiracy by 2006.

        So what does that mean for Julie exactly?

        Well, Celebrating The Soaps reported that it means Julie might get to go home sooner than she originally thought. Which, as you can imagine, is happy news for the entire family. 

        Todd Is Happy for Julie

        The not-so-good news for them is that Todd Chrisley’s appeal was rejected. So it doesn’t look like he’ll be going anywhere anytime soon. 

        Savannah shared some touching news about her dad’s reaction to Julie’s latest verdict. He apparently didn’t let his own misfortune affect how he felt about his wife’s good fortune. 

        On her podcast, Savannah said that her dad was fine. She said: “He was crying, like, happy tears knowing that mom could be home.”

        She added that the only thing he cared about was getting Julie home, even if he couldn’t join her yet. Obviously, Julie was pretty devastated when she found out about her husband’s appeal rejection. They must’ve been hoping that neither of them would actually have to carry out the full length of their sentencing. 

        Savannah shared that her mom was heartbroken. But hopefully, she’ll be able to go home and then she could visit Todd. She thought that it would be a game changer for Todd’s overall mental health and well-being and her mother’s, too.

        Production Companies Want Julie Back on TV

        During the recent episode of Unlocked, Savannah shared a jaw-dropping incident that showed just how greedy people can be. She revealed that as soon as people found out that her mom could be getting out, her publicist started to get phone calls from people in the industry about getting Julie back on TV.

        Savannah revealed that a production company reached out to the publicist asking if the Chrisley matriarch was exclusive with a production company yet. The publicist said that she couldn’t believe it. She said that she replied: “You do realize she’s still in prison, correct?”

        The news clearly annoyed Savannah. It got her thinking about something else that she’s previously said really gets under her skin. 

        Apparently, when she first began her podcast, she talked a lot about cancel culture and how much she hated it. She vented that people who were canceling others were actually the ones with too many skeletons in their closets.

        When the news about the family’s legal troubles broke, and everyone began canceling them, Savannah said that she knew they’d eventually change their minds. She supposedly said: “‘Just wait, if something goes in our favor, all these people are gonna come out of the woodworks.”

        And sure enough, the second people heard that Julie could be getting out of prison, they started calling up her team in hopes of grabbing a deal with her. Savannah said that as much as it angered her, she also knew it was just how the entertainment industry was.

        Savannah Doesn’t Want to Get Her Hopes Up

        People Magazine revealed that she was hopeful that her mom would be home in the next few months. She said: “If she comes home, oh my gosh, life will be so much better.”

        Of course, it’s been super hard for Savannah since her parents got locked up. Not only did she suffer the traumatic and humiliating experience of losing both of her parents at the same time while the whole world watched and pointed fingers at them, but she was also left to take care of her younger brother Grayson, and her niece Chloe.

        Now, she’s hoping that her mom might be home in time for Thanksgiving. Then, her family might have time to truly focus on dealing with Todd’s legal situation. 

        According to Savannah, Julie and Todd’s granddaughter Chloe had tears well up in her eyes when she heard that there was a chance that Julie could be coming home soon. As excited as Savannah was to hear her mom’s news, she admitted that she didn’t want to get her hopes up.

        She didn’t want to disappoint Chloe, and she didn’t want to disappoint Grayson, either. Nothing is set in stone yet. There’s a chance that Julie will still have to stay in prison a little longer.

        But there is one thing that Julie knows for sure, and it’s something that Savannah might not be thrilled about. On her podcast, Savannah opened up about a conversation she had with her mom after they got the news about her appeal. Apparently, Julie told her daughter that when she did finally come home, Savannah wouldn’t be allowed to leave her.

        Julie Might Get in the Way of Savannah’s Relationship

        When Savannah asked what she meant, Julie clarified that she understood that her daughter wanted to have her own life. But she said that for the first few months after leaving prison, Savannah would have to stay with her. 

        I imagine that as happy as she might be that she’s going to have her mom back in her life, Savannah probably isn’t thrilled about having to stay at home with her for months, especially since she is in a new relationship with her boyfriend Robert Shiver.

        In May 2024, People Magazine reported that she was already finding their relationship challenging enough because they’ve been doing long-distance. On her podcast, she complained that, at first, long-distance relationships seemed so easy. But when there came big life moments and holidays that they didn’t get to spend together, it got really tough.

        As if that wasn’t hard enough, she also pointed out that because Robert has kids, and she’s responsible for her younger siblings, it’s really difficult for them to find alone time together. If Savannah is already having so much trouble getting time in with her boyfriend, then I can’t see how she’s going to have any quality time with him once her mom gets out of jail. 

        I wonder if she still has her fingers crossed about her mom getting out by Thanksgiving, After getting that sobering news about her mom wanting to depend on her for months, Savannah might not be as desperate to have her back home by the holidays.

        Exposing Michael Ray and Audrina Patridge

        Officially a couple, country musician Michael Ray and reality TV star Audrina Patridge are the newest Hollywood-meets-Nashville romance that has everyone buzzing. Though the couple’s newly discovered relationship seems like a match made in entertainment heaven, some fans are hypothesizing that this combo could cause more problems than it is worth.

        How Did Michael Ray And Audrina Patridge Meet? 

        The pair were seen together in multiple cute pictures on social media, but fans were speculating that they were dating weeks ago. Audrina just recently made their romance official on Instagram. She uploaded a lovely picture of the two along with the remark, “There’s a lot of things in life worth letting go, But the ones that mean the most, you gotta hold”.

        RELATED: Amber Portwood Reveals New Boyfriend

        One can’t help but wonder… How did these two even cross paths? One Reddit thread is loaded with fan/hater claims that transcend a random meeting. According to rumors, they met via industry connections and their relationship grew rapidly over common experiences in the limelight. By taking a close look at their social media profiles, fans have discovered that their relationship may have spanned several months before public knowledge of them being together.

        Just as well, not everyone is sure this relationship is a wise one. Are Michael Ray and Adrina Patridge meant to be together, or will this relationship likely flop? Let’s dive in.

        Will Michael Ray And Audrina Patridge’s Relationship Last? 

        Firstly, there’s the glaring difference in their backgrounds. Michael Ray is a rising star in the country music scene who has been surfing his career with successes like “Think A Little Less” and “One That Got Away”. 

        Conversely, Audrina Patridge, who became well-known on MTV’s “The Hills,” has been negotiating the erratic terrain of reality TV celebrity. Their lives are quite different, hence putting them together long-term could prove difficult.

        Although opposites can definitely attract, their daily lives and job pressures may cause conflict given their differences. While Audrina’s obligations are typically connected to the entertainment venues of Los Angeles, Michael’s existence on the road as a touring musician necessitates protracted distances away from home. These practical difficulties could strain their relationship and complicate their ability to keep a strong, long-lasting link.

        Past Relationship Woes

        Both Audrina and Michael have baggage of their fair share. Michael’s high-profile divorce from fellow country singer Carly Pearce was a turbulent affair with rumors of adultery and trust problems floating around in gossip circles. Legal disputes and public turmoil dogged Audrina’s previous relationship with BMX athlete Corey Bohan. These pasts imply that Michael and Audrina have unresolved problems that might surface in their new relationship.

        The Pressure of Public Scrutiny

        Another important thing to consider is the great public scrutiny they will probably encounter… and already have, according to Reddit. Though both Michael and Audrina are no strangers to the stage, their new relationship will be under a magnifying glass, with haters and fans both analyzing every action. Many celebrity relationships have been known to be destroyed by this continual strain.

        And lastly, one wonders whether they are both ready for another committed relationship. While both might find solace in starting a new romance, it’s important to ask whether they have taken the time to heal and grow. A whirlwind relationship could offer a fleeting distraction, but a strong basis is very essential for long-term relationships.

        Ultimately, only time will tell whether Michael Ray and Audrina Patridge’s romance is meant for a happily ever after or if it is another Hollywood love story blazingly bright and rapidly fading.

        Kehlani Speaks Out About Cheating Ex

        Affairs are one of those things that are romanticized in a lot of music and TV. However, the act of cheating on a partner is hurtful and damaging to a lot of people. Kehlani knows the pain, but they remained quiet about the situation for the last 10 years.

        The singer-songwriter is now opening up about the situation due to their new song Better Not, which is on her new album titled Crash. They talked about the incident with Nessa on Hot 97, where they went into what made this situation diabolical. This was more than just a cheating scandal.

        Kehlani Puts Her Pain Into a Song

        The 29-year-old singer still holds onto the feelings from 10 years ago. However, she has decided to put those feelings into a song, called Better Not. It is a song that goes through the process of finding out that her ex was cheating on her.

        During the interview with Nessa, the host described the lyrics of the song as “alarming.” The song goes into how Kehlani and the unnamed ex were “little more than friends.” They didn’t have a label on what they were, but the betrayal still hurt.

        The singer didn’t share the name of the ex, but they did go into some of the things that they found at the time. Their age may have played a part in the way that they reacted at first, but it was something on the crazy side of things. Fans have taken a look at the timeline of what happened to see which ex it could be. Kehlani was attached to PartyNextDoor and Kyrie Irving at the time, according to People Magazine.

        Kehlani Found Polaroids of the Other Women

        In the interview, Kehlani described some of the “diabolical” elements of the betrayal. They shared that their ex kept a stack of Polaroids in his travel bag. They were of all the women he would be with while on the road, despite being with Kehlani at the time.

        Kehlani explained that they were cleaning up while the ex was on a trip out of town. That’s when they found the Polaroids. Rather than confront the ex, they decided to throw the Polaroids away, thinking “Oh my God. Terrifying.” They do say that they were 19 or 20 at the time of the incident, and they may have a different view if they saw the Polaroids now. However, a person can only react with the experience and knowledge they have at the time.

        Kehlani Offers Advice To 19-Year-Olds

        Kehlani went on to share how there were some crazier things that happened in the relationship but didn’t elaborate about them. All she said was “so it checks out” when it comes to the idea of having the photos. The situation never came up in their relationship, but now the truth is out there in the form of a song and a radio interview.

        The R&B singer went on to offer advice to other 19-year-olds to watch out for what their being pulled into. It’s easy to get “spun up in some s***.” However, they don’t care what their exes are up to, putting focus on their own happiness.

        Tristan Thompson Acknowledges Other Son

        Tristan Thompson shared an adorable moment with his eldest son on Instagram. It is a rare photo amid some family drama happening at the moment.

        The Canadian basketball player has four children with three different women. His eldest son, Prince, is with ex Jordan Craig. He also shares two children, True and Tatum with Khloé Kardashian, and has one child, Theo, with fitness model Maralee Nichols.

        Tristan Thompson Spends Quality Time with Prince

        People Magazine shared the Instagram photos, highlighting the caption “Lunch date with my Prince.” The father-son duo took numerous photos together, sharing their cheeseburger and fries and enjoying time with silly faces together.

        There were also photos of the two playing outside a Christian Dior furniture.

        Many fans took to the comments to share how much the father and son duo look-alike. Prince is a “mini-me” version of Thompson. Some commenters did touch on the fact that there aren’t as many photos with Prince as there are with his other children. Commenters questioned whether there was a problem between their relationship.

        Kai Craig Speaks Out About Tristan Thompson’s Parenting

        The photos come in the midst of family drama. Craig’s sister, Kai, spoke out about the 42-year-old’s parenting of Prince. She took to Instagram to share that Thompson “can’t seem to show up and be a real parent for my nephew Prince.”

        Those comments came off the back of an episode of The Kardashians that showed Thompson on good terms with his ex Khloé. The two coparent True and Tatum well when on the screen in the reality show.

        Kai wasn’t happy about the Kardashians defending his character. She made it clear that Thompson isn’t a good father if he can’t be a good father to all four of his children. She shared that the NBA player doesn’t spend the same amount of quality time with Prince compared to the quality time he spends with True and Tatum.

        Commenters Defend Tristan Thompson

        Theo wasn’t mentioned in all of this, and Nichols hasn’t spoken out about the disparity between the treatment of True and Tatum compared to that of Theo. However, commenters have pointed out that he also isn’t included in the social media posts as much as the children with Kardashian.

        Some commenters did come to Thompson’s defense regarding this. It is possible that Nichols doesn’t want her son to be all over Thompson’s social media? While the Kardashian children are regularly on TV through their reality programs, not all of Thompson’s exes put their children in the public eye. Thompson may be abiding by the wishes of the moms involved.

        News Week reports that Thompson didn’t initially acknowledge Theo. Nichols sued Thompson for child support, and a paternity test was used to prove he was the father. He then publicly apologized to Khloe Kardashian as the two were still in a relationship at the time, and Thompson was eventually ordered to pay almost $10,000 per month in child support to Nichols.

        Ryan Anderson Reacts to Gypsy Rose’s Pregnancy

        Gypsy Rose Blanchard announced she was expecting her first child with Ken Urker early in July 2024. Sources say that she told husband Ryan Anderson of the pregnancy before sharing with everyone else.

        Blanchard filed for divorce from Anderson in April 2024. She will deal with the divorce proceedings while dealing with pregnancy. A source told Us Magazine that Anderson is still “in love” with Blanchard, but he respects her wishes.

        Ryan Anderson Feels Like Ken Urker Stole His Life

        While Anderson wishes the best for Blanchard, he is sad due to the circumstances of Blanchard’s happy news. He reportedly feels like 31-year-old Ken stole his life. He is still partly in love with his wife. While he knew the announcement was coming, it still hurt. He has been down about the situation since Blanchard told him the truth.

        The two have been married for two years. They married while Blanchard was still in prison for asking her boyfriend at the time to kill her mom, Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard. Many will know of Gypsy Rose due to the Hulu series The Act, starring Joey King. Gypsy Rose was a victim of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, with her mother making her sick to gain attention and sympathy. Her boyfriend at the time, Nicholas Godejohn, killed Dee Dee. He is still serving his prison sentence for that.

        Gypsy Rose and Ryan attempted to deal with their marriage issues after Gypsy Rose was released from prison in December 2023. However, her ex-fiance, Urker, got in touch with her.

        Gypsy Rose Blanchard Is Expecting a Baby with Ken Urker

        While Blanchard denies that she left Anderson for Urker, she also states that she put her feelings for Urker on the backburner to make her marriage with Anderson work. In the end, the marriage wasn’t working, and Blanchard chose to be with Urker.

        She did tell Anderson about the pregnancy as soon as possible. He respected her wish to keep it out of the press until she was ready to share the news on social media.

        Just recently, Blanchard had to set the record straight about the paternity of her baby. She made it clear to everyone that Urker is definitely the father. According to Page Six, she shared that she left Anderson in mid-March. There is no chance that the baby is his. She also put dates in a social media post so that people would stop questioning the paternity.

        According to People Magazine, Anderson could still be on the birth certificate as the father due to a technicality. If the divorce isn’t finalized by the time the baby is born, Louisiana Law states that the husband must be listed as the father until paternity is established if the mother is still married or the divorce hasn’t been finalized for more than 300 days.

        Anderson didn’t believe the pregnancy at first, but he was amicable as he realized the truth. Sources haven’t said if Anderson will sign an affidavit to put Urker on the birth certificate or not.

        Zac Brown’s Getting His Karma

        Zac Brown is getting divorced for the second time. This time it is after just four months of marriage. His ex-wife is speaking out, and fans note that Brown is getting his karma dished to him.

        Fans have taken to Reddit to discuss the situation, as well as looking for the truth. While Brown said that he had tried to work on his marriage, his ex-wife makes it clear that something else is going on.

        Was Zac Brown Abusive to His Wives?

        His second wife, Kelly Yazdi, took to social media to share some of the words that the lead singer of the Zac Brown Band told her. They included dictating photos that had to be removed from her Instagram and blocking her modeling career. She shares that he would allow her to post things and then tell her to take it down, making it clear that he didn’t want others looking at “what is mine.”

        At the end of the main post, Yazdi shared that Brown would gaslight, stonewall, and threaten. They are all signs of narcissistic abuse.

        Reddit commenters discussed the situation, with some who know Brown from the past saying that the allegations aren’t that surprising. They also bring up that Brown allegedly forced his first wife to continue having children until she gave him a son.

        Some Redditors did admit that they assumed the end of the marriage was due to infidelity and not abuse. While some claimed that the post from Yazdi was very similar to Jonah Hill’s ex Sarah after their split, other commenters made a note that abusers tend to follow the same playbook.

        Zac’s Controlling Demeanor

        Other commenters on Reddit point out that Brown has attempted to keep his name out of situations in the past. He was found in a hotel room with drugs and strippers, but he allegedly paid off the cops to keep his name out of it all. Someone tipped off TMZ, leading to the story to spread.

        Others have shared experiences with the band on their own where they would be happy and smiling. The minute Brown walked into the room, everything would change. The entire band would remain silent, as if scared of saying something around him.

        Brown has turned to the courts to get a restraining order and to get the social media post by Yazdi taken down. He claims that the post goes against a confidentiality agreement that she signed in 2022.

        That was followed by Yazdi making it clear that she will not “be silenced” about the situation, according to Taste of Country.

        Brown likes to control the situation, and Yazdi is not allowing that to happen. She is being threatened with defamation suits, and she refuses to remain silent. She went on to share another post shortly after a music video, which included a “false and defamatory caricature obviously intended to be [Yazdi],” stating how ironic his statements are. He wants things to be private, but then goes on to release a music video that deliberately mocked their wedding.

        Karma is coming for Brown. 

        Why Mady Gosselin Won’t Stand Up to Kate

        Mady, her sister Cara and the rest of the Gosselin children were front and center during the airing of their big family’s reality show, but now they seem to be taking a backseat to their mother Kate in public.

        Are they afraid to speak out against Kate or are they just kids being kids when the camera is rolling?

        Here’s what we know:

        Kate Gosselin Reassured Her Children Are Doing Well 

        After a tumultuous time on air with her large family and now ex-husband during the original airing period for “Jon & Kate + Eight”, Kate has had to reassure the public that her children are in fact doing well. 

        But, their public appearances and interviews have mostly made fans suspect that she’s telling her kids to bite their lips. During an interview on TODAY, she stated:

        “They get really frustrated that people assume certain things in our house and they always say, ‘But that’s not how it is, mommy. Why do they say that about us?’ They’re just really regular, everyday, awesome teenagers.”

        Mady And Cara’s Stunned Silence And Awkward Glances

        Not everyone was convinced by this positive statement, though. Especially considering how quiet her twin daughters Cara and Mady were during the interview. They offered nothing but stunned silence and awkward glances at Kate whenever questions were directed at them.

        Fans have been wondering whether or not Mady and Cara are afraid to call out their mother’s behavior or if they’re just a bit camera shy after so many years spent off-screen.

        Mady And Cara Speak Out 

        To her credit, Kate did seem to encourage Mady and Cara to voice their opinions during the interview, but they didn’t have much to say about things. According to TODAY, Kate stated: “It’s your chance, spit it out. […]

        This is the most wordless I’ve heard them all morning. I don’t want to speak for them but, Mady, go ahead. 

        Sort of the things that you said in (People) magazine, that years later they’re good, they’re fine. Go for it, it’s your chance.”

        Mady had nothing to add, though, simply stating: “No. You just said it.”

        She did later mention that being on their TV show helped them rather than hurt them.

        Jon Gosselin Concerned About Their Children Developmentally 

        Their dad, Jon, though not present at the interview, has expressed his issues with Kate’s parenting. According to Fox News, he said:

        “I saw my kids not growing up normally, like I grew up, and having community. 

        Yes, they got to travel the world, and yes, they got these fabulous things, and yes, they have trust funds, and they’re taken care of educationally. Great. 

        But developmentally, they have problems with their peers, and they have problems with talking to other people, and they have problems with wants and needs and manners and morals and what’s right and what’s wrong. I think more so than someone who grows up off TV.”

        ‘People Expect Us To Be Damaged …’

        Cara and Mady were reported by CNN to have said that they were better than ever after the TV show. They stated:

        “People expect us to be damaged. […] [they] think we’re supposed to be so messed up, like, ‘Ooh, the poor Gosselin kids, they’re going to be scarred for life, waaaaah.’ Here’s the big news: We’re not messed up.

        It’s so false. We’re fine. We’re better than ever, actually.”
