Nick is no stranger to fathering children, but he seems to be implying that he could use a few more. Does he really want more kids? And who does he want to have them with?
Nick is known for a number of things, including starring in a variety of movies and TV shows. But he is also well-known for his unconventional approach to relationships and fatherhood.
According to Men’s Health, Nick now has 12 children in total, with six different women. The list includes:
Golden Saigon, Powerful Queen, and Rise Messiah with Brittany Bell
Onyx Ice Cole with LaNisha Cole
Twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir, as well as Beautiful Zeppelin with Abby De La Rosa
Halo Marie with Alyssa Scott
Legendary Love with Bre Tiesi
With so many children in tow, it seems incredible that Nick would consider having even more. But, he has made some comments suggesting that’s exactly what he wants to do. Or, at least, it’s something he wishes he had done more of with a previous partner.
Nick Misses Christina
Nick waxed poetic over his former flame Christina Milian and revealed that he actually regrets not having stuck with her and started a family during an interview with The Shade Room, according to Men’s Health. He had the following to say.
“I remember when I found out she was pregnant. Did I have kids yet? I don’t know, but I was like, dang man… I was so happy for her.”
“I remember we was kids in love early on, and so we talked about that, but to each his own. Life plans it out. The universe gives it how it’s supposed to be given.”
According to US Magazine, Nick later realized he had made a mistake in their relationship. He stated, “I was wrong for not being what she wanted me to be. She knew from the jump. We were friends for months before we even got into it, and when we got into it, I was like … ‘Yo, anything remotely like a relationship, I don’t want no parts of it.’”
Unfortunately, Christina had other ideas about their relationship and didn’t take kindly to Nick’s other affairs. She had the following to say, according to US Magazine.
“The next thing you know, I was reading [everything]. For, like, a month, I was reading messages. It was unreal that it was happening. He was living at my house. … It was just like, ‘Wait, under my roof this is happening?’ It just kind of blew me away.”
Christina Still Cares About Nick
US Magazine also reported that Christina had been taken aback by Nick’s later marriage to Mariah Carey, stating, “I was surprised like everyone else. I was like, ‘Really?’”
“It just seemed like a weird match, but I was happy for him. I always feel Nick works hard to get what he wants, whether that be women — that’s how he got me.”
All in all, it seems things are good between Nick and Christina. Christian Post reported that Christina called his radio show with nothing but praise for him, stating, “I’ve been waiting to bump into you. I wanna congratulate you!”
“It’s been a long time and a lot of really big things have been happening, so I’m really proud of you. Your children are beautiful. Regardless of my big mouth back in the day, honestly, I’ve got all great things to say about Nick.”
Does that mean the baby is still an option? Maybe not, but who knows?

Serena Williams is one of the most well-known athletes in the world. Her dominance on the tennis courts took the world by storm and inspired many people to follow the sport.
However, a lot of people forget that Serena and Drake were allegedly a thing back in the early 2010s. Now with the Drake and Kendrick beef, Serena is finding herself in the crosshairs.
Rumors of Drake and Serena dating started around 2011 and continued for several years. The two were both at the height of their popularity and could have potentially been the power couple of the decade.
However, the pair seemingly never took things to the next level. Their theorized relationship was heavily covered in the tabloids, but neither would confirm that they were dating.
Fast forward to 2015, the speculation on the couple’s relationship had largely cooled, but the two were spotted at a Cincinnati restaurant. The person who saw the pair said they were making out. Drake was also spotted watching the WTA championship the same day.
The same year, Drake also attended Serena’s matches at Wimbledon. However, the two haven’t been seen much since. Additionally, Serena was asked in a press conference about her relationship with Drake, to which she responded by saying they were just good friends.
The Diss Track
By now, everyone probably knows of the beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. The two have been throwing shade at each other online and in new songs.
However, the new beef between Serena and Drake actually stems from an album he released with 21 Savage. In the song Middle of the Ocean, Drake calls out Serena’s husband, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian.
The lyrics are a little cryptic, but some have theorized that they allude to a sushi restaurant named Nobu. It is possible that Drake and Alexis Ohanian got into an argument there. Alexis may not have liked her and Drake’s relationship, or the two may have simply not gotten along.
But the verse just before is a clear call-out. Drake says “Serena your husband a groupie.” Whatever happened, it’s pretty clear that there is bad blood between Alexis and Drake. But that isn’t the end of the story, because Kendrick Lamar responded in a song of his own.
Kendrick’s Response
After Drake released Middle of the Ocean, Kendrick Lamar decided to defend Serena in his new song. Kendrick released Not Like Us in May 2024, just as his beef with Drake was reaching new heights. The song explicitly tells Drake not to talk bad about Serena.
Serena recently spoke out about the song during an interview at Essence Fest in New Orleans. She even says it’s the “hit of the summer.” The crowd voraciously cheers after mentioning how much she loves the song.
Serena was attending Essence Fest to show off her new cosmetic line. However, the conversations involved a range of topics, including growing up in Compton and the beginning of her tennis career.
It’s unlikely that the beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake will end anytime soon, but it is good to see Kendrick stand up for Serena after what some consider a cheap shot by Drake.
Katy Perry’s attempt at a comeback has flopped. And everyone is talking about it.
Once at the top of the charts, Perry took some time out after her Super Bowl appearance to take on a gig judging on American Idol. She attempted a comeback five years ago but then made news more for having a baby rather than her music.
Now Perry is attempting another comeback with Woman’s World. It’s not the big release she wanted it to be.
Katy PerrysIn Under Fire for Her Recent Decisions
Perry’s comeback single immediately gained haters because of the producer she chose to resume working with. Dr. Luke has been accused of sexual assault by Kesha, and many people stand by Kesha in her statements. Working with him is a stab against Kesha and other women speaking out about abuse.
The song is supposed to be full of feminist statements, but the decision to work with Dr. Luke goes against everything that she apparently stands for. The choice of producer undermines the message of empowerment. Those who viewed the attempted comeback as a flop noted that the song was always doomed to fail even before hearing it.
There’s also the fact that former fans of the star believe that the song is just bad. The Daily Beast states that the song is lyrically devoid and doesn’t have the infectious production that could salvage that.
The song is also considered regressive. Rather than capture the hit songs of today, Perry is going back to songs of the early 2000s and 2010s.
It just doesn’t work anymore. Many have started to view her as a singer who should just stay in the previous decade.
The Music Video Makes It All Worse
Then there’s the music video, which is an attempt at causing controversy. All it does is diminish the meaning of the song.
In an attempt to poke fun at stereotypes, it tries to mix the messages of World War II America with current opinions of women. Nothing works.
Perry took to social media in an attempt to explain the video. When you need to explain it, it means that the whole thing didn’t work. The video just repeats the message that people got from her working with Dr. Luke again; she doesn’t understand her own message.
Perry flopping is a shock to many. Fans have called for her to bring back everything people loved about the likes of E.T. and Firework.
Sadly, Perry didn’t learn from the mistakes of her 2019 comeback attempt. Many stars have sell-out tours without chart toppers, and Perry should follow their shoes to make her comeback.
Fans will follow quality music, but Perry doesn’t have it with her recent release. If she continues this way, she will disappear into obscurity.
Even as COVID-19 rules have relaxed, Violet Affleck, the eldest daughter of Hollywood stars Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, is often seen sporting a KN-95 mask. Fans have been curious and concerned about this regular mask-wearing. It’s important to understand the real health concerns Violet’s decision raises and respect her family’s privacy and choices.
Violet Affleck’s constant mask-wearing is mostly related to her diagnosis of a post-viral illness. She developed this disorder following a viral illness, according to a New York Post article.
Post-viral diseases can cause a range of symptoms, including chronic fatigue, dyspnea, and a compromised immune system, hence increasing a person’s susceptibility to infections. Wearing a mask is essential for Violet to protect herself against any possible viruses or bacterial exposure that may aggravate her illness.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have always been watchful of their children; Violet’s health issues have surely sharpened their awareness. Encouraging Violet to wear a mask is a component of a more general health-conscious plan. It is not only a precaution but also a required step to enable her to keep her health in check.
The Importance of Public Awareness
Given Violet’s parents’ obvious popularity, the public’s interest in her mask-wearing practices makes sense. Still, one should address such issues sensitively and sympathetically.
Health issues call for community knowledge and support, particularly those involving immune system weaknesses. Violet’s choice to don a mask should be viewed as a proactive, responsible action rather than an anomaly.
Violet’s circumstances also remind us of the need for basic healthy behaviors. Mask-wearing became frequent during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, underlining the need to lower viral transmission.
For those with impaired immune systems or other medical conditions, these routines are nevertheless absolutely vital. Most immunocompromised individuals have never stopped wearing masks, even as the COVID-19 pandemic has lessened in recent years.
Violet sets a good example for others who could be coping with similar health issues by keeping up with wearing a mask and speaking against mask bans. It supports the belief that, regardless of outside opinions or social conventions, shielding others and oneself from disease is a compassionate and smart decision.
Support from Violet’s Family
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner both appear to be supporting Violet in her decision to wear a mask and fight mask bans. They have underlined in public speeches and interviews the need to give their children’s health and well-being priority over all else. For Violet to negotiate the difficulties of her post-viral condition, this support network is absolutely vital.
Violet Affleck’s regular mask-wearing is a necessary health precaution as much as a personal decision. Knowing the causes of this behavior emphasizes the need to honor personal health needs and encourage a society of empathy and support. Violet’s post-viral situation requires public understanding and support rather than conjecture or criticism as she manages it.
Ellen DeGeneres was once one of the most powerful and recognizable stars on daytime television. After nearly twenty years on the air, The Ellen DeGeneres show ended amidst a major scandal and rumors of employee mistreatment.
In the years since, Ellen has largely remained quiet, with a few roles here and there. However, she recently announced her intention to leave show business forever.
A Rising Comic
Ellen DeGeneres got her start as a young comic in New Orleans. The city isn’t known for comedic performances, or turning out high-profile comics. Ellen managed to defy the odds and ended up getting roles in TV shows and movies by the late 80s.
In the early years of her career, Ellen regularly did standup comedy, in addition to performing. She eventually landed in a sitcom named after her in the 90s. Around this time, Ellen also came out as a lesbian on an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show.
Ellen eventually put her standup comedy career on hold as she starred in her hit daytime talk show. In addition to the talk show, Ellen starred in a number of movies and most notably lent her voice to Dory in Finding Nemo. She even had a ride themed after her in Disney World where she and Bill Nye explained how energy works.
Troubling Accusations
Back in 2020, several former writers for Ellen’s daytime talk show spoke out and accused the host of creating a “toxic” work environment. They also alleged on-set mistreatment, including “racism, fear, and intimidation.”
If that was one employee speaking out, it could be chopped up as an isolated incident or a disgruntled former employee. However, the sheer number of people who backed up those sentiments was shocking.
The complaints were coming out at the height of the pandemic, so many people were home watching the show. That made the accusations sting even worse. One of the more troubling stories was that she tried to fire union workers early in the pandemic, only to replace them with non-union workers shortly after.
Public backlash against Ellen was swift and brutal. Many longtime fans stopped watching, while others demanded NBC cancel the show. The initial report inspired many people to recount their interactions with Ellen. It is unclear how many of the accusations are true, but there has to be some merit to them considering the number of people with similar experiences.
The End of an Era
The Ellen DeGeneres Show parted ways with several employees, and Ellen vowed on air to make changes. Although it was never the confirmed reason, the negative publicity likely led to a drop in viewers and the show’s eventual cancellation.
Despite working on a few projects after the show’s end, Ellen has remained relatively quiet. However, she recently announced that her upcoming Netflix special would be her final performance. She went so far as to say “This is the last time you’re going to see me.”
The news of her retirement came as a surprise to many, but the 66-year-old has had a fulfilling life and probably wants to spend her remaining years with her wife outside of the public eye. Unfortunately, that means fans won’t get to hear her voice in any Finding Nemo sequels, but comebacks are always possible.

Jelly Roll has an interesting backstory and his rise to fame is nothing short of amazing. In recent weeks he has gotten even more popular, thanks, in part, to putting together a last-minute show after Morgan Wallen canceled his performance in Tampa.
In case you’ve never heard of Jelly Roll, he is a country singer with a troubled past. The 39-year-old singer has been in and out of jail over the years and struggled with addiction. He also went to jail for robbery.
Eventually, Jelly Roll got clean and gained notoriety for his unique blend of hip-hop, rock, and country. His popularity peaked in 2023 when he won three CMT awards and was nominated for a Grammy.
Jelly Roll frequently uses his past to help show that there is hope for people who are struggling. He even appeared before Congress in January to support a bill that would crack down on fentanyl. During his testimony, Jelly Roll recounted his days selling drugs and even said “I was part of the problem … that now wants to be a part of the solution.”
In addition to headlining shows of his own, Jelly Roll has recently opened for other country artists. One of those singers is Morgan Wallen, who was set to sing in Tampa on July 12.
He performed in Tampa the night before but got sick and announced he wouldn’t be able to perform later that night. Morgan Wallen also canceled a few concerts the following week.
The Show Must Go On
Fans were understandably upset after hearing that Morgan Wallen had to cancel. Fortunately for them, Jelly Roll was able to put something together in just a few hours for the disappointed fans.
He wasn’t able to secure Raymond James Stadium (the original concert venue), but he did find a nearby location. Just a few hours after Morgan Wallen’s official cancellation notice, Jelly Roll managed to secure a venue called Dallas Bull. The nightclub/bar is a popular spot for country music fans.
The deal was that only people with a Morgan Wallen concert ticket for that night could get in, but it was completely free. While Jelly Roll is nowhere near as famous as Morgan Wallen, it was a meaningful gesture.
Hundreds of people ended up turning out to see Jelly Roll play on a night that they would have otherwise been left frustrated and sitting at home. Jelly Roll likely gained some lifelong fans that night as the event took social media by storm.
Thousands of people shared stories about Jelly Roll’s last-minute concert, noting what a great guy he is. Many major news networks picked up the story and highlighted the surprise show.
Even though Morgan Wallen couldn’t be there, Jelly Roll made sure that people could still go out and have a good time. In doing so, he likely saved Morgan Wallen from a lot of hate after canceling the show.
Luke Combs has reached a level of country music superstardom that most can only dream about.
‘One Of The Best And One Of The Worst Days’ Of My Life
While he’s grateful for his success, it does come at a cost, and shockingly, Luke broke down during a recent interview when he described “one of the best and one of the worst days” of his life.
Luke’s fans and followers might recognize the “best” and “worst” day Luke was talking about, and Taste of Country also revealed the good news about it on August 31, 2023.
Luke Was ‘Fighting Through Tears’
Taste of Country reported last August that Luke and his wife, Nicole, were “officially parents to two under two!” Their firstborn son is Tex Lawrence, born in June 2022.
Luke’s second son, Beau Lee, was born on August 15, 2023. When Luke talked to Zane on June 20, 2024, he confessed that he still “found it hard” to understand Beau Lee’s birth. Thankfully, the whole family is happy and healthy, so why does Luke have a problem with his second son’s birth?
Taste of Country wrote that Luke was “fighting through tears” as he revealed why Beau’s arrival was a weird mix of joy and sadness for him.
Fans Were Excited About Luke And Nicole’s Baby’s Due Date
Luke’s fans got excited for him in March 2023 when Luke, Nicole, and Tex did a “sunflower-themed family maternity shoot.” Perhaps the most adorable photo showed Tex wearing a shirt with the words “big brother” across the back. Luke and Nicole were definitely looking forward to the future, and she gave more personal details in an Instagram Q&A during her second pregnancy.
Nicole’s fans wanted answers on the due date for her second child. They were also curious how the due date would affect Luke’s concert schedule since he spent much of 2023 touring the world as a headliner.
Luke’s Wife, Nicole, Confirmed ‘I’m Not Due Until After He Gets Back’
Some of Luke’s fans were shocked by Nicole’s explanation during her Q&A, specifically when she confirmed that Luke wouldn’t be canceling any tour dates if she “went into labor early.”
Nicole also told her fans and followers that she was “trying really hard not to go into early labor,” and Countrytown reported what else she told her fans.
Nicole explained that Luke would be on tour halfway around the world when she was in her ninth month of pregnancy, and a flight back to Tennessee would take at least “20 hours” if he “got on a plane immediately.” She tried to reassure her critical fans when she revealed, “I’m not due until after he gets back.”
Nicole Combs’ Shocking Text To Her Husband, Luke
But many things in life are beyond our control, and when Luke was on tour in August 2023, he received a shocking text from Nicole that began with, “I’m so sorry.”
Luke was about as far away from home as possible when he got Nicole’s text. He was on tour in Australia and New Zealand, and Luke told Zane that he woke up to see the text that broke his heart and thrilled him at the same time.
Luke confessed to Zane, “God dude, it sucked, it sucked,” when he finished Nicole’s text that said, “I really tried to not have the baby while you were gone.”
Nicole and Luke shared the same belief that their second child wouldn’t arrive until the end of August, when Luke was “supposed to be home.” He told Zane, “I wasn’t,” and that was really “hard to do.”
Luke’s Heartfelt New Record, ‘Fathers And Sons’
Zane told viewers he would “hopefully” talk with Luke about his heartfelt new record, Luke’s fifth studio album, “Fathers and Sons.”
Zane said he wanted to know more about the “emotion and purpose” of Luke’s new record because the music seems to reflect “all fathers and all sons,” not just Luke’s relationship with his own children.
Luke agreed, and he opened up about his regrets and the challenges of fatherhood. He told Zane there were a “few different perspectives” on his new album, and he didn’t want it all to be just “happiness” and “good.”
So, Luke wrote about many “experiences” that a person has as a child, a parent, or a grandparent, and he wanted a little “taste of all of that” on the record. Luke even confessed that he sometimes thinks “selfishly” about his lyrics.
He explained that he thought everybody must feel like he does as a father, but then Luke remembered his friends who “come from divorced homes” or “didn’t have a dad around.” Luke’s childhood was different, but having two busy parents still wasn’t easy.
Luke Said, ‘Me And My Dad Weren’t Like Buddies’
Luke told Zane, “I was an only child,” but his family didn’t have much money, and his parents, Chester and Rhonda, “both worked hard.” Luke remains close to both his parents, but when he was a kid, he said, “Me and my dad weren’t like buddies,” and Luke explained why.
He described growing up on “four acres… outside of town” and Chester working “50 hours a week.” On the weekends, or when his dad had time off, Chester was busy “mowing or fixing the car” because they couldn’t afford to keep replacing things when something broke.
Luke said, “There wasn’t a ton of… throwing the baseball in the front yard,” although Luke now knows it’s “not because [Chester] didn’t want to,” and Luke explained more.
He told Zane that Chester always did “what he thought was the best version” of what the family needed. Sometimes, that would mean “a washing machine that works so that my clothes are clean” or “working overtime on a Saturday.”
Luke mentioned a song on his new album, “All I Ever Do Is Leave,” and how that song comes from his childhood experience when Luke sadly thought, “My dad’s not around,” and “he doesn’t want to spend time with me.” But Luke’s perspective has changed.
How Fatherhood Changed Luke Combs
He told Zane that when he became a dad, he realized, “I go out and do all this stuff” so his kids can have the best life possible. Luke also talked about other ways in which fatherhood has changed him.
When he became a dad, Luke said he discovered that some of his childhood feelings weren’t “necessarily the truth,” which changed his opinion of his dad.
Luke honestly admitted that he “might have held some sort of grudge” against his dad or parents “for not being around,” and Zane added, “That becomes part of your identity… carried around with you for 25 years.”
Why Luke Combs Missed The Birth Of His Son, Beau
But since he’s welcomed Tex and Beau, Luke revealed it was a big “perspective change on everything” and that nothing made it clearer to Luke than missing Beau’s birth. If you want to know everything, Luke confessed it all to Zane.
He remembered waking up “in a hotel room” in Sydney, Australia, on the morning of August 16, 2023, “at around 8 a.m.,” when Luke received that shocking text from Nicole back home in Tennessee.
Because of the vast time difference between Australia and the USA, it was still August 15th at home where Nicole was, and tears filled Luke’s eyes as he revealed what happened next.
His voice broke as he told Zane, “God dude, it sucked, it sucked,” and being so far away when Beau was born is something that Luke will probably always regret.
Shockingly, he admitted to Zane that he hasn’t “really told anybody that,” and missing Beau’s birth still hurts Luke so much that he confessed, “I didn’t cover that too much on this album.”
Luke’s Amazing Support System
But at least Luke has a great support system on the road. Even though his “best” and “worst” day is still hard to remember, Luke said that some of his “closest friends” work for him, and they helped him get over the pain of missing his youngest son’s birth.
Luke told Zane, “I’m never on an island on the road,” and his “best friend from high school” works as his “personal assistant.” Another of Luke’s best friends is a songwriter who serves as his “guitar tech” on tour, and both have kids. Luke revealed he was “able to be with them through that whole thing,” which helped, but Luke still seemed so choked up by this that Zane had to offer some hope.
Zane told Luke, “You have to be able to forgive yourself in that situation,” and Luke agreed, adding, “Obviously, we didn’t plan it that way.” He explained that Nicole’s mom “came up for the month” when he was gone, and Nicole’s sister also lives in Nashville, so Luke’s wife “had a really great support system with her for that experience.”
Morgan Wallen has received plenty of negative publicity again this year for a shocking stunt he pulled, although his fans continue to support their favorite country music superstar.
But Morgan quietly did something else recently, and his fans certainly weren’t expecting this.
Morgan Wallen Deleted His IG Profile ‘With No Explanation’
Taste of Country spilled the tea on June 24th that Morgan left Instagram. Their article started with the question, “Why did Morgan Wallen deactivate his Instagram page?”
Billy Dukes of Taste of Country wrote that Morgan “is no longer on Instagram” and that Morgan “seemingly deleted” his IG profile during the weekend of June 22 and 23rd “with no explanation.”
Billy added that Morgan’s “team” received his “request for an explanation,” but they never responded. Billy also wondered if Morgan’s Instagram page had been hacked or if he’d suffered from a “technical glitch.” Taste of Country reported that Morgan’s fans have “other theories.”
Is Morgan Releasing New Music?
Some of Morgan’s fans think he’s doing an “early promotion” for “new music” or an “event.”
Billy wrote, “This kind of thing is not unheard of,” and he mentioned other Country music groups like The Band Perry, who’d wiped out their “previous social media posts” on two separate occasions before they released new music.
Morgan also teased new music recently, sharing online that he was releasing “Lies, Lies, Lies” on July 4th. But there’s another side to the story about why Morgan might have jumped off Instagram.
Morgan Wallen’s Friend, Ernest, Deactivated His Instagram Account, Too
Taste of Country reported that Morgan’s friend and songwriting partner, ERNEST, also left Instagram at basically the same time, and there’s something else fishy about this move.
According to Taste of Country, Morgan and ERNEST “still have active profiles on X and Facebook,” and they are both signed to Big Loud Records.
But even though their Facebook and X profiles are allegedly “active,” Taste of Country confirmed that Morgan and ERNEST haven’t posted to X “in several weeks.”
Fans Have A Theory Why Morgan Deactivated IG Account
ERNEST did share a Facebook video in June, but shockingly, Morgan hasn’t posted on Facebook since the end of May. Taste of Country wrote that Morgan’s fans have a “second theory.”
Do you believe Morgan could be “upset” about “something?” Some of his fans think he left Instagram because he got ticked off about “something,” and even though this sounds crazy, fans think that ERNEST left Instagram to back Morgan up.
What does Morgan have to be “upset” about? Taste of Country wrote, “There is really not any tangible evidence to suggest a professional disagreement” with the record label, so the second theory doesn’t make sense.
Is Morgan Wallen And Team Fed Up With The Haters?
But wait for it because there’s one more rumor floating around.
Taste of Country reported “one final theory.” Morgan (or, more likely, his “team”) is getting impatient with all the haters throwing shade at him on social media. Taste of Country confirmed that Morgan’s fans are “remarkably supportive.” Still, the critical comments are growing, and the theory is that it’s much of a hassle for Morgan’s team to keep putting out fires on his social media.
Morgan might have dropped a bombshell hint to his fans and followers earlier in June, and Taste of Country reported all the details on Wednesday, June 19th.
Morgan Wallen’s Life Update and Confessions
Taste of Country wrote that Morgan surprised fans and followers on social media with a “life update.” While Morgan did confess some serious stuff, his Instagram Stories video looked casual.
Morgan was sitting in a car as he revealed “what he’s been up to.” He started the video by asking everyone watching him, “What’s going on?”
Morgan smiled as he admitted he’d been “in the studio for the past couple of days.” He also admitted he hadn’t been online “in a long time,” and Morgan said, “So, uh, here I am.”
He claimed he was “mostly just laying low and staying out of trouble” following his shocking arrest for allegedly tossing a chair off the balcony of Eric Church’s bar in downtown Nashville. At least Morgan isn’t lonely right now because he did mention a special someone.
He admitted, “I’ve just been hanging with my kid.” Morgan added that he was “making music, golfing, and swimming,” and Taste of Country also reported that Morgan “previously posted a photo” from a recording session with a “chef emoji” to indicate he was “cooking up” some great new music.
He finished his brief video update by reassuring his fans that “everything’s all good,” and Morgan ended it with, “I’ll see y’all real soon.”
Morgan Wallen’s Arrest
Morgan sounded more apologetic following his April 7th arrest at the honky-tonk bar on Broadway called Chief’s. Taste of Country confirmed that Morgan “expressed remorse for his actions on social media.”
Morgan didn’t go on video in April but posted a message that he “didn’t feel right publicly checking in” until he “made amends with some folks.” Is that really good enough right now?
Morgan explained that he’d “touched base” with the Metro Nashville Police Department. This was a wise move, considering the chair Morgan allegedly tossed off the balcony landed far too close to Metro Nashville officers stationed on Broadway on April 7th.
He also revealed that he’d checked in with his family “and the good people at Chief’s.” Morgan claimed he was “not proud” of his actions and was accepting responsibility. The problem is that Morgan’s alleged overdrinking might be causing all this.
Morgan’s ‘Drinking Is A ‘Problem That Keeps Coming Around’
Sources with inside knowledge who were at Chief’s that night alleged that Morgan drank too much before he tossed the chair off the roof, and Page Six reported that Morgan’s “drinking is a ‘problem that keeps coming around.’”
Page Six claimed that Morgan’s representatives “didn’t immediately return their request for comment,” and they quoted a source who told People.com that Morgan is “a nice, fun person to hang out with,” at least until he starts drinking and “doesn’t know when to stop.”
The source added that Morgan’s drinking “keeps coming back around.” Page Six published other details that back up this source’s allegations.
Page Six confirmed that Morgan was “previously arrested” for “public intoxication” in 2020. In 2021, a video leaked to social media of Morgan shouting expletives and the N-word late at night in his driveway. At that point, Morgan’s family and team tried to get him help.
Page Six reported that Morgan “spent 30 days in a treatment center” after the shocking video went public. Although Morgan “issued a public apology” for his racist comments, he was briefly “suspended by his record label.”
How Eric Church’s Bar Handled The Morgan Wallen Incident
Is Morgan’s superstar status making it too hard for him to get a grip on reality? Taste of Country reported how Eric Church’s bar handled the car-tossing incident, and while this sounds funny at first, it’s also pretty shocking.
Taste of Country wrote that Chief’s “made light of the situation” and chose to “have fun with their customers.” Anyone who visits the rooftop now will see a new sign, “DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT, YOU ARE NOT MORGAN WALLEN.” But that’s not all, and what Morgan did recently is pretty crazy, considering his alleged “problems.”
He branded his name and image to TC Restaurant Group in Nashville. On June 1st, Morgan’s new establishment, This Bar and Tennessee Kitchen opened on Nashville’s “Honky Tonk Highway.”
Morgan’s Love Triangle With Ex-Fiance, KT (Katie) Smith
Another rumor about Morgan involves shocking allegations of a love triangle with his ex-fiance, KT (Katie) Smith. KT is also the mother of Morgan’s son, Indigo.
People.com reported on April 10th that KT “married her current partner just days before” Morgan got arrested. Many fans and followers blame KT’s elopement on Morgan’s bad behavior at Chief’s. So, what’s the real truth?
People confirmed that Morgan and KT “began dating in 2016 and got engaged a few months later.” Although they quickly broke off their engagement, People added that Morgan and KT “were on and off for a few more years” but were no longer together when Indigo was born in July 2020.
Morgan revealed exclusively to People in January 2021 that it wasn’t easy “having a kid with someone you’re not with,” but he also claimed he was “thankful” to have a son “with someone I care about.” The shocking new rumor is Morgan still cares about KT more than he realizes.
KT got engaged to a younger guy named Luke Scornavacco this past March. People reported that KT announced her elopement with Luke “that same week,” and it was “just days before Morgan’s arrest.”
Multiple sources online say this new rumor is false, and if Morgan did drink too much, it wasn’t because KT married someone else. Morgan has yet to prove that he can control his drinking, but hopefully, he’ll be back soon with new music while he lays low and tries to stay out of trouble.

Miranda Lambert has remained silent about claims that her husband, Brendan McLoughlin, cheated on her. Now she has spoken up about the claims, sharing her views on the flirtatious dancing, and what it means for her marriage.
Many have come to McLoughlin’s defense about the situation. Is that the case for Lambert?
Miranda Lambert’s Husband Caught Flirty Dancing
The former police officer was caught dancing in a flirtatious manner during a bachelorette party. All of this was caught on video, with women in the clip claiming that it was an innocent moment. Many of those in the video have defended him, but it is not enough for Lambert.
According to Fox News, the women in the video explained that the situation was out of the blue and “innocent.” One woman shared that they happened to be in the bar and saw him in the roped-off area. They asked for photos and hoped that Miranda would be there.
After that, the bachelorette party was invited into the roped-off area. Throughout the night, McLoughlin reportedly never said anything inappropriate and didn’t make the women feel uncomfortable.
When it came to a point in the video of a woman putting her hands on McLoughlin’s face, she shared that she didn’t know why she did it. She does it out of habit, and she believes it was more “motherly” than flirty.
Miranda Lambert is ‘Embarrassed’
A source told In Touch that Miranda has spoken to her husband about the situation, according to She Knows. The country singer is “embarrassed” by the entire encounter, and she reportedly gave him “an earful” about it. She also feels that had she been there that night, McLoughlin would have acted in a completely different way.
The source shared, “I’m sure Brendan is in the doghouse, and rightfully so. He definitely crossed the line.”
The singer’s attitude toward the situation is due to issues in McLoughlin’s past. The former cop has a past that involves cheating. This was a serious issue for Lambert, and it was something that the two discussed at length before getting married. Lambert needed to know that he would take his marriage vows as seriously as she would.
Past Infidelity Issues
However, Lambert has her own past involving infidelity. She and her ex-husband Blake Shelton met and fell in love with each other while Shelton was married to his first wife, Kaynette Gern. Things weren’t happy for the two of them, though. Shelton’s The Voice filming schedule and the two touring on separate tours led to a strained marriage. Shelton later believed that his wife was cheating on him with country singer Chris Young. There were also claims that Shelton cheated on Lambert. All of this will leave fears of infidelity in a subsequent marriage.
Lambert has still not spoken out publicly about the situation. Friends have spoken in the past about how Lambert prefers to keep her relationships out of the limelight, and that is what she is doing here. It doesn’t mean she is letting her husband get away with embarrassing her.
For the past few years, Britney Spears has had a difficult relationship with her sons, 18-year old Sean Preston and 17-year old Jayden James. The issues stem from her use of social media over the years, as well as some things she included in her 2023 memoir. Thankfully, things seem to be on the mend, and the trio is open to repairing their relationship.
Britney Spears shares the children with her ex-husband, Kevin Federline. Spears and Federline were married from 2004 to 2007, and they had an incredibly public relationship and eventual divorce. After the divorce was finalized, Federline was granted sole physical custody of the kids.
Why Britney Spears’ Sons Decided To Not See Her Anymore
Eventually, Spears was given visitation rights and the children began to spend more time with their mom. The two co-parented their children for years, but things have gotten difficult between the boys and Spears over the recent years.
After getting free from her conservatorship in 2021, Britney Spears was a free woman and began posting on social media, often in little clothing or even fully in the nude at times. According to reports, her children were very uncomfortable with this. She continued to post these types of photos, and this ultimately led to the boys deciding not to see her anymore, according to Federline.
Federline said he told his sons that this was just another way for their mother to express herself, but did acknowledge that it’s likely difficult for teens in high school to go through this.
Her sons weren’t even at her 2022 wedding to her now ex-husband Sam Asghari, though the boys did wish her well and were happy for her. In addition to her social media use, her sons also didn’t like a few things she talked about in her 2023 memoir called “The Woman in Me”. Reports say they were devastated by the revelations and felt it was “too much” and difficult to read at times.
In particular, the boys were upset about her mentioning that she had an abortion in the past while dating Justin Timberlake, as well as how harshly their father was portrayed in the book.
Things Are Going In The Right Direction For Britney Spears and Sons
Also in 2023, Spears consented to the boys moving with Federline to Hawaii. While she hasn’t been to visit them in Hawaii and has only spoken to them sparingly via text, things seem to be trending in the right direction as of late.
Recently, they spoke on the phone to one another, and her sons are reportedly happy to see her doing well and want to stay in touch to speak with her, which is certainly a step in the right direction for the family.
So while there is still progress to be made between Britney and her sons, both sides are willing to mend the relationship. However, it may take quite a bit of time and effort by all parties if they want to get back to being a happy family after all that’s transpired over the years.
