Rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs is well-known for his flamboyant lifestyle and wild parties, but some of his darker secrets recently started coming to light. For years, rumors swirled that Diddy was involved in criminal activity, such as the death of Tupac and sex trafficking. Now, people are wondering how much Diddy’s secret baby mama knew about his day-to-day life.
Who is Diddy’s Secret Baby Mama?
Diddy has seven children from several different women. His first son was with designer Misa Hylton in 1993. He also has three children with longtime partner Kimberly Porter and adopted her son. While Diddy was with Kimberly, he also fathered a daughter to Sarah Chapman.
His newest addition is Love Combs, who he had with a secret baby mama named Dana Tran.
Notably missing from this timeline is singer Cassie Ventura, who was with Diddy for over a decade. The couple never had any children, though Cassie did have two kids from her previous marriage.
Even more surprising is the fact that Diddy was in a relationship with Yung Miami around the time of Dana Tran’s pregnancy, prompting some people on social media to call Yung Miami a “side chick.”
Who Is Dana Tran?
Not much is known about Dana Tran and Diddy’s relationship. However, it is known that their daughter Love was born on October 15th, 2022, in California, based on her birth certificate. Diddy also announced the birth on social media, leading many to wonder who was the mother.
Dana Tran apparently removed her social media profiles after people caught onto her identity and connection to Diddy. Some keen-eyed internet sleuths were able to figure out that she is from Southern California and works in cyber-security before the profiles were removed.
There are no details on whether or not Tran and Diddy were in a relationship when she got pregnant, but it does appear that Diddy was happy to have another child.
Since the birth, Diddy has broken up with Yung Miami. While the two were close for a couple of years, Diddy and Yung Miami have expressed multiple times that they were in an open relationship. Before breaking up, the two attended the 2023 Met Gala, where Diddy said they “didn’t put titles” on their relationship.
Perhaps one of them started getting clingy, which ended up pushing the other away. Regardless of the reason for the breakup, it doesn’t appear that Diddy is with Dana Tran either. Despite being constantly in the news since the raids on his homes, there are no rumors about Diddy currently being in a relationship.
In all fairness, he probably has bigger problems to worry about than starting a long-term relationship. Apparently, Diddy is in the crosshairs of a federal criminal investigation, though the details of that are not publicly known.
What is known is that Diddy is preparing his eldest son to take over his company, Bad Boy Records. Diddy isn’t getting any younger, and he will need to pick one of his seven children to usher in the future of music.
A couple of years ago, Ashanti opened up about the harrowing details surrounding her sister Kenashia Douglas. People magazine first shared a clip from Ashanti’s appearance on Red Table Talk which also featured Kenashia and their mom, Tina. The conversation took a dark turn when they started discussing the “gut-wrenching” situation of Kenashia’s toxic relationship.
Ashanti talked about feeling helpless when she found out what was going on in her sister’s private life. She said, “It had been something that was going on and you don’t know how to deal with it.”
Ashanti opened up about how difficult she found it to not get involved, explaining that they had to respect Kenashia’s decisions. Although she wanted to respect her sister’s choices, Ashanti couldn’t help but feel like she should be doing more to protect Kenashia.
She said that she was the big sister. She told Kenashia that she didn’t like her partner and didn’t think they should be together.
Apparently, Ashanti used to tell Kenashia to leave the relationship “all the time.” She described both Kenashia and her partner as “toxic.” She would tell them that being together for them was like “drinking bleach.”
However, she also suggested that she understood why Kenashia didn’t want Ashanti to get too involved in her business. She said that since Kenashia grew up as Ashanti’s little sister, she wanted her own stuff. This was why she put up with certain things.
Ashanti is 9 years older than her younger sister. She found it hard to figure out what her role was in this situation.
She said, “And it was just like, how do you deal with this? What do we do now? No one gets a book on how to handle this.”
Ashanti Paid Tribute to Her Sister
One month before the interview, Ashani paid tribute to her sister on social media in light of DV awareness month. She wrote a lengthy post, in which she went into detail about how important it is to speak up. She also expressed her enormous pride in her sister for getting out of such a horrible situation.
Alongside her post, Ashanti shared grisly and upsetting pictures of Kenashia covered in blood and bruises. In her post, she wrote that words would never be able to express how much pain and disgust she felt reliving those moments.
However, she continued, addressing Kenashia directly and saying that she was proud of just how resilient, strong, and unbreakable she was. She described her sister as a “warrior,” and said that she loved her deeply and infinitely. Ashanti thanked Kenashia for her bravery and for “bringing awareness to this evil, vile, and sad behavior that so many women face every day.”
While Ashanti recognized that many women were made to feel so scared that they had no way out, she celebrated the fact that Kenashia had “won” by escaping her situation. She also praised Kenashia for helping others in similar situations by being open and honest about her experiences. Ashanti wrote, “By sharing your story you bring hope, strength & continue to raise awareness.”
She concluded her long, emotional post by telling Kenashia that she would “get back” everything she deserved. Kenashia chose not to share the identity of the partner who had attacked her when she opened up about her toxic relationship.
Kenashia’s Relationship Wasn’t Initially Violent
According to People Magazine, Kenashia had also previously been in a relationship with the rapper Slow Bucks. In fact, the couple were actually engaged for a period of time.
During her appearance on Red Table Talk, Kenashia said that she was in high school when she first met the man who would later attack her. She recalled, “I was about 18 or 19 years old. I hadn’t really had a real relationship.”
She went on to say that, to begin with, the relationship was “pretty fun.” Kenashia described the man as “extremely attentive.” He would apparently compliment her all the time.
He gave her the attention that she felt she both wanted and needed. This was, according to Kenashia, connected to the negative effect her sister’s singing career had on her. She longed for more attention from their mom, Tina, who was busy trying to help Ashanti’s career after the release of her first album.
Kenashia said that she developed “coping mechanisms” to deal with her feelings of being unloved and ignored. These coping mechanisms would apparently “show up” in her relationships. This was part of the reason she stayed in the relationship for so long after things became toxic and violent.
According to Hello Beautiful, she was with her partner for 13 years before he became dangerous. She said that there were earlier signs, but she was confused and tricked by his love-bombing behavior.
There were some things that she thought were wrong, but whenever she would try to address them, her partner would tell her that the way she thought was wrong. Kenashia then said that over time, this made her question herself and kept her in doubt.
Kenashia Reflected on Her Experience
The couple eventually took a break, only to return to each other a short time later. It was at this point that Kenasia’s partner became physically harmful. He reportedly became paranoid about her cheating on him during their time apart, leading to violent disputes.
In a traumatic moment for Ashanti, she discovered that her sister was being attacked as they spoke on the phone. She said, “I don’t know about when it started. Ironically, I was on the phone with you. It was gut-wrenching.”
On that occasion, Kenashia’s partner allegedly left marks across her neck, forcing her to pick up a sharp weapon to protect herself.
On her 31st birthday, Kenashia revealed the truth about her pain in a startling fashion on social media. She shared a video she put together which featured clips from her childhood all the way up to 2022. Halfway through the video, you could see the awful photos of her injuries.
In October 2022, Kenashia found the courage to reflect honestly on her experience. She wrote in a post, “It was dangerous not only for obvious reasons but also because to the outside world, everything seemed fine.”
Kenashia Is Proud of Who She Became
Despite how difficult the process of sharing her story must have been for her, Kenashia stayed true to herself and kept hold of her dignity throughout. She shared that she held “grace and patience for the woman [she] was and everything she didn’t know.”
She even wrote that she was grateful to the person she used to be for taking her on the journey to being who she is now. Kenashia concluded by stating that she was not a “victim” or a “survivor,” and that everything she went through was all part of her story, her journey, and her life.
Despite how difficult things were for Kenashia and her family, thankfully, that horrific chapter of her story is now well behind her. They can all finally relax and try to heal from all the awful things that happened.
This may, however, prove to be a long journey. It’s clear that Kenashia was deeply affected by what happened to her, as were her mother and sister, who hated seeing her in that situation.

Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ former bodyguard has recently revealed further incriminating claims against the rapper. This new disclosure from last month has added another explosive chapter to Diddy‘s already dramatic and damning story just when we thought the drama could not get any more intense.
A video purportedly showing Diddy physically assaulting singer Cassie Ventura, his ex-girlfriend, recently went viral. The video has incited a lot of concern for Cassie and anger towards Diddy… and also made many wonder about the music mogul’s previous actions. The bodyguard who used to work for Diddy has now chosen to speak out, providing a terrifying look into the world behind the flash and glamour.
Diddy’s History of Allegations
The former bodyguard, Roger Bonds, has been outspoken in the past about Diddy‘s behavior. But the Cassie video’s release has rekindled his desire to share much more. He outlined a behavior pattern that creates a troubling image of Diddy‘s personal life in an exclusive interview with Us Weekly.
The bodyguard said Diddy‘s abusive manhandling of Cassie was only the beginning. The star, he claims, is someone who is prone to outbursts of rage and manipulation behind a well-manicured public persona. The man behind closed doors is not who you see on stage, he said.
Diddy’s Former Bodyguard, Roger, Said Diddy, ‘… has a God syndrome’
The evening shown on camera was apparently not an unusual occurrence. Many nights, the bodyguard says, he had to step in to keep Cassie and others safe from Diddy‘s anger. “I’ve gotten in between things of this nature before and this was back in 2012,” he said. “He’s a king manipulator. He can manipulate anything and anyone. Money and power is what he’s all about. Having conversations with him throughout the years, he has a God syndrome.”
He talked of a fearful and controlling environment in Diddy‘s inner circle. Everybody knew where they belonged, he said. You either followed instructions or you paid the price.
Bonds said he has not spoken to Diddy since the day before Cassie filed a suit against Diddy back in November. The case was settled, though Diddy’s attorney made a point to note that settling doesn’t mean he is guilty.
When asked why Bonds continued to work for Diddy despite witnessing his abusive behavior, Bonds was frank.
“A lot of people say, ‘Why did you stay?’ and I tell people I was also manipulated,” Bonds noted in the interview. “He would also apologize to me like, ‘Yo, I don’t know what’s wrong with me. Yo, that’s not going to happen again.’ You would see everything going right for the next couple of weeks, for the next month or two, and then all of a sudden, you would see him blow up again over something.”
Diddy’s Response to His Abusive Behavior
Diddy has refuted the claims as was to be expected. Declaring the accusations to be unfounded and an effort to damage his reputation, his defenders have released statements. With the bodyguard’s testimony and the video, though, it’s getting harder to brush these charges off as rumors.
Diddy has since responded to the video of him assaulting Cassie on Instagram.
“It’s difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, sometimes you gotta do that,” said Diddy in an Instagram video. “I was f–ked up. I mean, I hit rock bottom but I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I’m disgusted.”
This story is far from over, as seen by Diddy‘s legal team preparing to fight against the slew of lawsuits he’s received in the last few months. The public, meantime, is left to consider the likelihood that one of the most significant musicians might have a far darker side than anyone could have predicted.
The Hollywood pairing of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez has always embodied the ideal high-profile marriage. Their glitzy red carpet outings and the endearing moments that the paparazzi caught made it seem like the couple had it all. But there are fresh reports that Ben Affleck may be regretting his marriage to Jennifer Lopez behind closed doors. Let’s speculate a bit.
Ben Was ‘Blinded By Lust’
Insiders recently told MSN that when Affleck revived his relationship with Lopez, he was “blinded by lust”. Their passionate and nostalgic reunion may have tainted Affleck’s judgment. It’s believed that the first spark and strong attraction eclipsed more serious questions regarding their compatibility and the viability of combining their well-known lives.
There’s also the issue of public scrutiny. Even as a megastar, Ben Affleck has always been open about his difficulties with being in the public eye. Being a member of a power couple like “Bennifer” brings with it ongoing public scrutiny, which can be exhausting for any couple. Yahoo reports that Affleck has suffered under this constant attention, having become enmeshed in the craze around his relationship with Lopez.
Any relationship can suffer under such close observation, but one with a turbulent past like theirs might be particularly tested. Affleck may be feeling regretful in part because of the need to keep a picture-perfect appearance for the cameras, which can lead to unrealistic expectations and further stress.
Ben Affleck’s Relationship and Addiction Struggles
Managing a prominent marriage, family obligations, and high-profile jobs can be rather difficult. With Affleck having openly struggled with personal problems, such as addiction, the extra demands may make him feel even more guilty and unhappy.
Their hectic schedules also frequently require extended time spent apart, which can cause feelings of estrangement and loneliness. It takes a great deal of work and understanding to keep a solid and encouraging connection under such circumstances, and at times it seems it might seem impossible for the couple.
There are also a lot of heavy expectations on Affleck and Lopez’s backs. Not just fans but also the media were constantly covering Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez‘s reunion. Unrealistic expectations can easily happen due to the strain of having to live up to their previous romance and complete the “fairy tale” story that the media loves. Given his past reluctance to discuss his personal life, Affleck may find these demands especially difficult.
Future for “Bennifer” Unknown
Even if “Bennifer” rekindled excitement and nostalgia between the two megastars, it’s important to remember the causes of their first split. The problems that caused their split years ago could still be there and are coming back now that the “honeymoon” phase has subsided. Thinking back on these previous problems and seeing that they can still have an impact on their relationship could cause some regret on Affleck’s part.
When it comes down to it, maintaining such a high-profile marriage is obviously no simple task, whether motivated by the early love that clouded his judgment, the constant public scrutiny, emotional and professional strains, or the enormous weight of expectations from the media. How the couple handles these obstacles will determine how their story turns out in due course. But for know, it looks like Affleck may be regretting his marriage to Lopez.
Chip and Joanna Gaines are the stars of Fixer Upper, a show based in Waco, Texas where the couple help people buy, renovate, and remodel homes. It has been incredibly popular and ran for five seasons on HGTV from 2013-2018, and the couple has renovated well over 100 homes throughout their careers.
Not only was the show a hit amongst viewers, but some of the design choices and features that were shown off on the series went on to influence real-world interior design during the 2010s. The show even increased tourism for the city of Waco.
The success of this show has also led the two to help create Magnolia Network, a basic cable channel where a revival series called Fixer Upper: Welcome Home aired in 2021. There have also been a few other spinoffs, such as Fixer Upper: The Castle and Fixer Upper: The Hotel.
Chip and Joanna Gaines Face Backlash
While the pair were beloved by their loyal fans for years, a recent move led to them having to face some public backlash. About a month ago, on May 20th, the two and their network announced a new six-part series called Fixer Upper: The Lakehouse. The first episode aired on June 2nd, 2024.
It follows Chip and Joanna as they seek to renovate and remodel a luxury 1960s lake house that they bought. The house is large with over 5,000 square feet, and features beautiful views and a pool, but is certainly a little outdated by today’s standards.
The pair had been planning something like this for a while, as Joanna has said that Chip had been on the lookout for a suitable property for years and they were delighted to finally find it right around the 10th anniversary of Fixer Upper.
Many fans were unhappy with this decision, as some said the pair is deviating from their down-to-earth approach that they’ve had throughout the history of the series.
Most people could relate to the renovations they’ve been doing for years, as most of them were relatively modest and not too over-the-top. People could watch the show not only for entertainment, but for ideas and inspiration that they could potentially use themselves.
However, renovating a massive lake house in an expensive neighborhood just isn’t relatable to viewers and some say it feels like Chip and Joanna are showing off.
Not only that, but some fans have just grown tired of the couple in general, saying that they used to watch them, but no longer do or that the show isn’t enjoyable to them any longer.
Of course, there are plenty of fans who support the show and are excited for it, but it’s strange to see this backlash as most fans of the show and the couple are generally positive and supportive.
It remains to be seen how successful the series will be, and whether this backlash will have an impact on it, but it certainly seems like the pair is currently in uncharted territory dealing with some public scrutiny.
Well, here’s a fresh rumor that’s had fans in the hip-hop community buzzing. At first, it seems like some sort of joke. However, there’s some smoke to back up the reported fire. Reportedly, rapper and businessman 50 Cent and Republican US Representative Lauren Boebert are dating. You read that right! Memes, conjecture, and a great deal of interest are exploding all over social media. What, though, is the actual background of this strange pairing?
Are 50 Cent And Lauren Boebert Actually Dating?
The two were first noticed together at an event, appearing really chummy with one another. HipHopDX reports that after seeing 50 Cent and Lauren Boebert joking and chatting together, there were instant speculations about a developing affair. As word of their relationship grew, both admirers and detractors speculated. Is there more to it than just two well-known people striking up a conversation?
Fueling the flames, 50 Cent posted a picture of himself with Boebert on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) that left followers guessing with a favorable statement in the caption about the Republican congresswoman: “Lauren Boebert, Colorado Republican making the white house look good. 😏” Many wondered if there was more to their relationship than first appeared when the post went viral.
Fans and Haters React to Possible Romance Between 50 Cent and Lauren Boebert
Posting this online was an interesting choice, as fans and haters alike flooded the comments to make the photo into a full-fledged conspiracy. Social media was overflowing with memes as people joked about the unusual couple’s possible romance. One X user remarked “Eeeewwwwwwww F that.” Another said “Is 50 a republican?”
Let’s hit the brakes, though. No hard proof exists to support the rumors that 50 Cent and Lauren Boebert are dating. We are all in the dark as the two have not confirmed nor rejected the rumors. As things are, it appears that this is simply another instance of conjecture gone wild on the internet.
50 Cent’s Instagram post received thousands of likes and comments from followers in the political and hip-hop communities. Reactions varied in kind from astonishment and laughter to incredulity and interest. When it comes to this possible power couple, it appears that everyone has an opinion.
50 Cent Denies The Rumors
Why, therefore, is the prospect of 50 Cent and Lauren Boebert together so intriguing to people? Maybe the whole thing’s just a shocking surprise. They aren’t exactly two people you’d expect to get together. Renowned rapper and businessman 50 Cent and divisive political figure Lauren Boebert don’t seem like a likely fit. But stranger things have, of course, occurred in the realm of celebrity romance.
50 Cent had to put the rumors to rest. In a recent quick interview with TMZ, 50 Cent said that he is not dating Lauren Boebert, despite the kind of flirty photo and appearance they made together.
It’s still unclear, in the end, if 50 Cent and Lauren Boebert are dating. 50 Cent may just be trying to protect his privacy by denying it. We can only speculate and appreciate the amusing memes and responses that have sprung from this rumor for now.

Their combined efforts have led to tremendous changes for both of them. Kristina has been incredibly supportive of Gary, often cheering him on.
On Gary’s 37th birthday in November 2023, Kristina posted a heartfelt message and a couple of his transformation photos:
“The older you get, the more handsome you are. Wishing you the best birthday & another year full of happiness. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, sweet cheeks! Cheers to 37!!”
The dedication and discipline it took for Gary to create and stick to a better lifestyle have only increased the admiration of his fans. Gary has always been committed to bettering himself, and his recent weight loss journey is just another example of his determination.
Gary’s Biggest Supporter: His Wife Kristina
As his biggest supporter, Kristina is always praising him for being an amazing partner and a devoted father. On Father’s Day, 2023, she shared a touching tribute to him: “Happy Father’s Day to my AMAZING husband, @itsgarytime! He is the true definition of a GREAT dad. His beautiful daughters have always come first in his life. He is their protector, teacher, supporter, MOST understanding and devoted dad I’ve ever seen.”
Gary’s transformation story is one of inspiration and dedication. His weight loss journey has not only improved his health but has also strengthened his bond with his family and fans. As Gary continues to share his journey, there’s no doubt he will keep motivating others to take charge of their health and well-being.

It was a rough birthday celebration for Leah, Amber Portwood’s daughter, on June 6th’s episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter.
Leah was celebrating her 15th birthday at a restaurant with her blended family, and while Amber had the chance to show that she was going to take her role as a mom more seriously, she dropped the ball instead.
Amber Portwood Showed Up Late to Daughter’s Party
The disaster began when Amber showed up late to the party.
Instead of arriving on time, she was an hour late to the restaurant.
Leah’s father, Gary Shirley, Amber’s ex, was already there with his wife, Kristina.
Their daughter, and Leah’s step-sister, Emilee was also there to celebrate her birthday.
Once Amber arrived and sat down with the family, she immediately started making the event about her.
She first started talking about how Leah was going to need her more than ever, now that she was 15.
Amber Introduced New Boyfriend, Gary, at Daughter’s Birthday Celebration
The reason Amber gave was that Leah was about to get really crazy.
Leah didn’t have anything to say about the comment and seemed to ignore Amber.
Amber attempted to connect with her daughter again, although she made it about herself once more by sharing information about her new boyfriend, Gary.
Both her ex-husband and her new boyfriend are named Gary.
Leah didn’t seem interested, though.
In fact, she appeared uncomfortable about the topic.
In the episode, Leah appeared to say that she was scared when Amber kept trying to show her a photo of her new boyfriend.
Leah refused to look at the photo, but she did eventually say that she hoped her new boyfriend made her happy.
Amber Called Her Daughter, Leah, a Demeaning Word Associated with Lesbians
Amber didn’t seem to like Leah’s lack of interest in her love life, however, and she called Leah a demeaning word typically associated with lesbians.
Amber seemed offended by Leah’s disinterest, which is what led to her using the foul word.
Twitter, and even some of Amber’s fellow Teen Mom stars, weren’t happy about the word she used.
Briana DeJesus was one of the first Teen Mom stars to tweet about the moment.
Although she deleted her tweet, according to InTouch Weekly, she said that even though she was sure people weren’t going to like what she was about to say, she felt that she needed to say something based on what she had just watched on the show.
She went on to say that she does not support talking down to your kids or calling them names.
She then told Amber to do better.
Teen Mom, Jenelle, and Fans Share Thoughts on Situation
Briana also reposted other tweets that fans had made about the scene.
One of those tweets had a fan saying that it was Leah’s birthday, and her mom had made her cry, this was such a sad scene to watch.
She commented on Briana’s deleted tweet, saying that she had just watched the scene, and then put a mind-blown emoji.
Devoin Austin, Briana’s ex, also had things to say about the scene.
He made a comment on Instagram saying that he supported Gary for how he handled himself during this particular moment.
He called the whole thing bad.
Then he went on to say that it was Leah’s big day and not Amber’s, and she shouldn’t have made it about herself.
Rachel Beaver, from Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant, made a long comment about when Amber told Leah that she was going to need her even more.
Rachel said that Amber was never really a mom to Leah.
Whenever she came around to spend time with her daughter, she always ended up making the moment about herself.
Rachel claimed that Amber has never really tried to get to know Leah.
She also talked about the nerve that Amber had to call her daughter a certain name when Leah was already hurting about the fact that she didn’t have much of a relationship with her mom.
Rachel then said that Leah had Kristina there to help her through her teenage years since Amber was unreliable.
Finally, she said she shared Gary’s frustration in the scene and added that she would have lost it.
Emotional Leah Asked Her Parents To Stop Fighting
The dinner didn’t get much better from there.
At one point, Gary asked his wife what time it was.
Amber didn’t like that and started to argue with Gary.
Leah ended up crying out of frustration and asked her parents to stop fighting.
She then asked to go to the bathroom, with Kristina and Emilee joining her.
The three were gone for a while, and when they returned, they and Gary packed up their things and left the restaurant.
Amber was left alone at the restaurant, crying.
There’s been a lot of backlash against Amber for ruining her daughter’s birthday and calling her an unpleasant word.
However, Amber has yet to comment on it.
Amber Portwood and Gary’s Engagement
Instead, she’s been focusing her energy on her new relationship.
According to US Weekly, Amber and her boyfriend, Gary, recently got engaged.
The proposal happened somewhere in the last week of May and the first week of June.
Amber said that Gary had taken an old family stone and repurposed it into an engagement ring.
The couple seem committed to each other as they have already started taking steps to make sure their relationship has a firm foundation.
In particular, they started attending couples therapy together.
The reason they’re already going to therapy together is to make sure that they take care of any problems before they get married.
How Teen Mom Star Amber and Gary Met
Amber first met Gary on a dating app in January.
The couple started slowly, getting to know one another, but it seemed they grew serious about one another very quickly.
Not a lot is known about Gary, but a few details have emerged over the months since she started dating him.
Gary doesn’t have any children, but he describes himself as a family-oriented man.
He takes care of his parents, who rely on him for assistance.
One of the things that drew Amber to Gary first was that he had no idea who she was.
He has never watched any of the Teen Mom shows, so he was unaware of her reality star celebrity.
Amber preferred that because a lot of the guys she had dated before had all known about her and her status.
It made dating difficult because she wasn’t sure if they were interested in her or her celebrity.
Since Gary has never seen Teen Mom, she knows that he’s more interested in her as a person.
She felt as though they were dating on more equal terms since he knew nothing about her and she knew nothing about him.
During the same episode where Amber made Leah cry, she also introduced Gary to the rest of the show’s cast.
She was on a Zoom call with the other girls in the show and revealed who he was.
She introduced him as her boyfriend, and they were officially a couple.
Gary showed some humor during his first appearance on the show, saying that his name was also Gary, referring to the fact that Amber’s ex was also named Gary.
Jade Cline joked that maybe this Gary was the Gary for her.
Amber seemed to agree saying that it seemed like it.
Why Amber Portwood Lost Custody of Daughter
Now, while Amber’s relationship with her new Gary seems to be going well, her relationship with her daughter Leah hasn’t been as successful.
Amber gave birth to Leah back in 2008, but she eventually lost custody of her in 2011.
Part of the reason she lost custody was because of a big fight she had with Gary.

Reality TV’s Kim Kardashian has never been one to shy away from the limelight, unlike her superstar contemporary, Beyoncé, who is known for protecting her public image and guarding her privacy. As far as dealing with stardom goes, the two ladies couldn’t be more different, however, the world of fame is surprisingly small, and the pair happen to have a mutual acquaintance in the form of a nanny.
Former Nanny Claimed Kim Bragged How North West Was ‘Cuter’ Than Blue Ivy
From 2014, this ‘unnamed’ nanny took to reporting on her time working for Kim K. This first appeared in Life & Style magazine. It triggered a bit of a furor. The nanny claimed Kim Kardashian had a tendency to brag about how her daughter, North West, was ‘cuter’ than Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s girl, Blue Ivy Carter.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z were far too dignified to publicly respond, but rumor has it the nanny’s claim caused ‘tensions’. And that was the problem, according to Nanny, Kimmy habitually compared her child against other children and surprise! It was always North West who was cuter, brighter and more talented.
Now, one can forgive the child for developing a sense of superiority, especially when she has such a strong role model. Still, it’s harder to forgive the insensitivity of her mother, a grown adult. As Nanny noted, Kim thought nothing of damaging the other children’s self-esteem, although the bad habit isn’t especially healthy for her own offspring either.
Is Kim Kardashian’s Mystery Nanny’s Claims True?
Although the identity of the nanny is a mystery, her reports of Kim’s nasty habit have remained consistent across various publications. Of course, they have neither been refuted or verified by Kim or any of her crew, and some observers have questioned why the nanny chose to continue speaking out. Was there an ulterior motive or is it some kind of personal vendetta? Nonetheless, the nanny continued and had supporters to back her up. They said she was simply sharing her first-hand experiences of working for such a massively famous family.
However, the tensions grew. In fact, they were fueled by Kimmy’s ex, North’s daddy, Kanye West. Never a great one for tact anyway, his public rants and criticisms of Beyoncé and Jay-Z did nothing to help smooth things over. For instance, he just had to say something about Beyoncé allegedly refusing to perform unless she won a VMA over him and Drake during his 2016 Saint Pablo Tour.
Naturally, Beyoncé’s loyal fans were outraged and rallied around her and Blue Ivy, voicing their opinions on the issue on social media. They didn’t hold back on including what they thought of Kim and her reported behavior.
However, this particular sorry saga does end in a positive light. It raised awareness of the pressure and scrutiny the children of celebrities grow up having to deal with. And to the nanny’s credit, it also serves to remind adults that there are potentially harmful and decidedly negative consequences to comparing one child’s appearance and achievements against another.
Former Destiny’s Child, Kelly Rowland, recently found herself in a bit of bother. It all started after a heated exchange with a security guard just doing her job at the 2024 Cannes Festival. The incident went viral fast and sparked a debate on whether or not her diva-like actions were justified. To be clear, we’re talking about how the star decided to defend her ‘personal boundaries’.
It was May 22nd 2024, and Rowland was attending the premiere of ‘Marcello Mio’. She was heading up the red carpet when the female security guard came in close and tried to guide her up the stairs. The resulting confrontation was witnessed by everyone there and rather unfortunately, captured on video, as Rowland stood with finger wagging, scolding the guard.
In defense of her action, which didn’t look especially glamourous, she told the Associated Press, ‘The woman knows what happened. I know what happened.’ She explained that she had boundaries and stood by them, adding the justification ‘…and that is it’.
There was a mixed reaction. Some defended her stance against what they regarded as aggressive action. As an insider pointed out, the Cannes security staff had been overly aggressive that evening and by the time Rowland reached this one, she had simply had enough.
Although some saw her actions as somewhat diva-ish, Rowland herself emphasized the incident was more about respect and boundaries. The guard’s colleagues put a different spin on things in a Daily Mail report, stating she was under pressure to keep things moving and ‘doing her job’.
Kelly Rowland’s Diva Behavior
However, this isn’t the first time Rowland has defended diva behavior. In 2008, she defended Madonna’s demands during Radio 1’s Big Weekend for specific kinds of water and for allowing her entourage to help themselves to the food and drink reserved for other artists. It was a notably diva-like defense that included the memorable snap, ‘If Madonna only wants red Skittles, then get her red Skittles. She’s freakin’ Madonna!’ A comment that at the least reveals her stance on stardom and stars and their oft times, weird and wonderful demands.
No change in 2024 then. Rowland walked off the set of the Today show. She didn’t like her dressing room, but it didn’t go that well when she made an appearance. In another instance, she walked off the set because she wanted to talk about herself, not Beyoncé, which seems reasonable. She defended her right to set boundaries then, too. Only this time, about interview topics. Her fanbase stood by her.
After all, why would she want to talk about what Beyoncé was doing even if Beyoncé’s father, Mathew Knowles, had been Destiny’s Child’s manager? In his eyes, Rowland was a ‘sweetheart’, and definitely not a diva.
As it is, there are many others who reject the diva claim too. They argue that her actions have been misrepresented and blown out of proportion and that she is, in fact, a very hardworking professional with a lovely nature.
