Rapper Post Malone is known for throwing down some awesome hits, but many of his fans are unaware that he has a fiance and daughter.
The 28-year-old musician is one of the best-selling artists of the past decade and has won dozens of awards. However, his proudest achievement is the birth of his daughter in 2022. Since the announcement that his fiance was expecting on The Howard Stern Show back in May of 2022, Post Malone has spoken very little of his relationship or family.
Instagram users will notice that there isn’t a single photo of Malone’s fiance or daughter on his account. Surprisingly, you will not find any images of his daughter on the internet, and there are very few images of Malone and his fiance.
Perhaps the most shocking thing is that Malone has never shared his daughter’s name. Last year, he divulged some secrets of his home life for the first time in an interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast. He confirmed at the time that he was not married but engaged.
Post Malone proposed to his fiance Jamie in 2021 while in Las Vegas. Funnily enough, she turned him down and told him to ask again the next day. Of course, he did just that, and she said yes.
Despite never mentioning her full name or divulging any details about their life, Malone does recognize Jamie as a major factor in overcoming his alcohol addiction. That leaves many wondering why he hides his daughter and future wife from the spotlight. The answer is pretty simple: He wants his home life to remain private.
Post Malone Plans to Keep His Public and Private Lives Separate
Malone made his intentions very clear in an interview with GQ. During the interview, he acknowledged how people desire details about celebrities’ personal lives that they have no right to.
Certainly, his fiance could be more active in public if she wanted to. However, she appears content with staying away from the stardom. Jamie does make rare appearances at awards shows to support her fiance, but she is not active on social media and does not make public appearances.
He went on to explain that his daughter will have the opportunity to be in the spotlight when she is older. In the meantime, he plans on keeping his public and private lives separate.
While it may be disheartening for fans that Post Malone doesn’t share any updates on his family, seeing him put his future wife and daughter first is nice. Additionally, Post Malone is far from the first person to keep their family life private. Musicians, athletes, and actors often shield their families from the drama of living in the public eye.
Post Malone’s daughter turned two years old in May 2024, but don’t expect to see pictures of her celebrating anytime soon. In fact, fans will have to wait a long time before she is old enough to become active online. In the meantime, it is good to see a celebrity protect their family from the harsh critics on the internet.
He had a daughter and a son named Chanelle and Cornell Haynes.
Nelly and Ashanti’s Relationship Timeline
The celebrity couple would have still been together in 2005 when tragedy struck Nelly’s family and his sister passed away.
He ended up adopting her children, Shawn and Sydney Thomas.
So all four of his kids have known Ashanti since they were very young.
Nelly once said in the premiere episode of his reality show, Nellyville, that whoever he was in a relationship with had to have a great relationship with his kids.
Which would mean that they must’ve gotten along well with Ashanti.
According to Us Weekly, Ashanti revealed that she and Nelly broke up some time in 2013, so his children were still teenagers at that point.
Not long after the pair separated, Nelly began dating his next long-term girlfriend, Shantel Jackson.
She also appeared on Nellyville.
Hollywood Mask claimed that she grew close to his children while they were a couple, that she was a mother figure to them, and that Nelly would often call her mama.
The pair reportedly broke up in 2021 after about seven years together, so Nelly’s kids would’ve become adults while Shantel was still a part of their lives.
Us Weekly reported that she and Nelly got back together in 2023, after about ten years of being apart.
How Nelly’s Children Feel About Their Father and Ashanti’s Relationship
Which also meant that she and his children hadn’t seen each other for that same amount of time.
Although no one really knows if she maintained a relationship with them after their breakup.
The kids haven’t officially said much about their father’s reconciliation with Ashanti, but there’ve been some hints that they approve of the relationship.
A TikTok video revealed that Ashanti and Cornell were having fun together at Nelly’s annual Black & White Ball in December 2023.
In the video, they looked comfortable together as they were dancing and laughing at the event.
In April 2024, Ashanti officially confirmed to Essence that she was pregnant.
So Shawn, Chanelle, Sydney, and Cornell are all going to have a new baby sibling in their family.
Nelly’s oldest daughter Chanelle recently revealed that she was happy about the news.
BCK reported that she congratulated her dad and Ashanti in an Instagram story that she shared in April.
She showed her support by writing: “Team healthy baby. Congratulations to my family. So much success and blessings in store”
Her new sibling will be a similar age to her own child.
Chanelle gave birth to a son named Ace in July 2023.
Blogger Disses Ashanti
A report by Rolling Out revealed that Ace got caught up in a news story about Nelly and Ashanti thanks to Youtube Blogger Tasha K.
The outlet claimed that she didn’t believe that Ashanti was pregnant when the news first broke in December, because of the timing of Nelly becoming a grandfather to Chanelle’s son.
Tasha alleged that Ashanti wasn’t pregnant, because she’d heard that Nelly had allegedly just had a baby in 2023, and she told her viewers: “Let’s get to know that baby first.”
She even shared screenshots of a text conversation between her and someone claiming that Nelly’s alleged baby lived with in Atlanta.
In her Youtube video, Tasha also targeted Ashanti and announced that light-skinned, privileged women deserved to be wives and not just baby mamas.
The comments section on Rolling Out was filled with people’s opinions about Tasha’s controversial statement.
One online user said that Tasha was ridiculous, and that no woman should be a “baby mama” and if they chose to be, that was ok.
The color of one’s skin had nothing to do with it.
Someone else wrote that complexion has nothing to do with self worth or self esteem.
Ashanti Proved Blogger Wrong
Ashanti eventually proved Tasha wrong when she exclusively shared some big news about her life in an interview with Essence.
She revealed that not only was she pregnant, but she also had plans to walk down the aisle with Nelly.
Ashanti told the magazine that this year of her life was such a blessing full of love, hope, and anticipation.
She explained that motherhood was something that she had looked forward to, and sharing that with her family, fiancé, and loyal fans, who had been so supportive of her career, was an amazing experience.
Even though she and Nelly had suggested that they were expecting a baby months ago, neither of them had officially confirmed the news until April.
News outlets like the New York Times were quick to spread the word that the speculation about Ashanti’s pregnancy had been confirmed, and on top of that, she was engaged too.
But her interview with Essence wasn’t the only way that the singer told the world about her new baby.
The same day that the magazine interview came out, Ashanti also shared an Instagram reel where she dropped the bomb that she was expecting.
Ashanti then appeared from behind a curtain and told her mom that she needed about nine months, and she showed her a positive pregnancy test.
Ashanti Shows Off Her Baby Bump
The mother-to-be tagged Nelly in the post, and captioned it with: “Baby, baby, baby.”
The Shade Room reported on Ashanti’s third surprise baby bump reveal, which she did in person while at a conference in Miami.
The interviewer invited Ashanti to stand up in front of the audience and show off her belly in her blue shape-fitting dress.
Since then, she has been more open about being an expectant mother and much less guarded about sharing pictures and videos of her pregnant body.
On Mother’s Day in May, Ashanti shared some photos on Instagram of her trip to Saint Louis, Missouri where she was on vacation with Nelly and their families.
In the first picture, Ashanti and Nelly could be seen posing together outside of a house, with her belly fully on display in the sleeveless Maxi dress she had on.
She captioned the post by talking about how her Mother’s Day had been so special.
She explained: “Having our families together as we are about to embark on such an incredible journey was amazing.”
Why Ashanti and Nelly Were Tight-Lipped About Pregnancy
Before April, Ashanti and Nelly had been very tight-lipped about the pregnancy.
Us Weekly shared that the couple first hinted at it when they attended the 2023 Black & White Ball.
It was there that Ashanti put her hand on her stomach, and then Nelly placed his hand on it too, which quickly sparked the rumors that she was with child.
But after that, the couple kept quiet about it.
A report by Page Six pointed out that Ashanti kept wearing oversized dresses during her shows.
She began posting old photos of herself on her Instagram, too, but in any of the more recent pictures, she was always wearing loose-fitting clothing.
Her followers left tons of comments speculating that she was pregnant and just hiding it.
Even Ashanti’s mother denied that her daughter was pregnant.
BET reported that she was being interviewed in a panel discussion at the 17th Annual Women’s Impact Luncheon in Miami.
While speaking to Tina, the radio host said: “Congratulations, Ashanti’s having a baby. So congratulations, grandma.”
Ashanti’s mom clarified that there’d been no announcement, and that it hadn’t come out yet until she heard it from Ashanti and Nelly.
The interviewer apologized, explaining that she thought it was public.
Tina said that it was public and told her not to get it twisted, but it hadn’t been officially announced.
However, since the baby news was announced, the couple have been getting lots of messages of congratulations from the public and from their celebrity friends, too.
Ashanti and Lloyd’s Performance
Hot New Hip Hop reported on a recent performance by Ashanti and Lloyd, where the R&B singer sang to his friend’s pregnant belly while they were on stage together.
Lloyd later posted a picture of the touching moment on Instagram and left a sentimental message in the caption that read: “Dear Baby Haynes, you are surrounded by love, by good energy, and by people who have prayed for your piece of mind way before you were born.”
Lloyd went on to say that he would one day tell Ashanti and Nelly’s child about the time he got to sing to them while they were still in their mother’s belly, and about how their mother changed his life, and how their dad was there for him when he needed a little love and guidance.
Ashanti then left a comment under the post thanking him and letting him know that his words had made her cry.
The couple haven’t yet revealed the baby’s due date.
People lie. In the words of Dean Winchester from Supernatural, that’s how they become President. However, there are some lies that hurt a lot of people and don’t make sense. Brandy’s lies about her marriage are among those ones.
Back in 2002, Brandy shared on The Oprah Winfrey Show that she was recently married and six months pregnant. Her husband? Robert Smith.
Brandy shared that they had secretly married in the summer of 2001, and that they kept their marriage a secret to avoid people making a big deal about it.
Fans were happy for the Moesha star at the time. They wanted to see her happy with someone who was worthy of her heart and passion. Brandy and Smith certainly looked happy on the outside. It was only after the birth of their daughter, Sy’rai, that their relationship failed and the two separated.
Cheat Sheet shares that the lies came out during a cameo of Never Have I Ever, when Brandy said that she had never been married. She shared that she faked the marriage back in 2002 to preserve the image of that “perfect family.” She did go on to say that they had a “spiritual union.”
Brandy explained more during an interview with Oprah Winfrey. She shared that back in 2002, having a child out of wedlock was a big deal. It wasn’t accepted in the way that it is now, and she worried what that would mean for her reputation. The idea of having a child out of wedlock was a sin, so she and Smith decided that it would be better to lie.
She told Oprah: “It was not something that people praised, you know. It was a sin. And I felt like I could not be honest about that. I felt the pressure of having to be perfect.”
It was a difficult time period for many, especially for an actress who was used to playing role models for young children. She feared that everything she had worked hard for would be gone because of being pregnant without getting married.
Will Brandy Norwood Get Married in the Future?
Is marriage on the cards for Brandy in the future? Don’t count on it.
Over the years, Brandy has been connected to various men and she has been engaged, but she didn’t make it down the aisle. She doesn’t intend to, either. According to Essence, she makes it clear that she doesn’t date. She enjoys the single life.
She told The Real hosts back in 2020, “I haven’t been on a date in like a year.”
She is more than happy with motherhood and focusing on her career right now. There is a shift for many women now choosing to be single. For many women, there is the ability to have more freedom, and Brandy certainly echoed that. She shared that it is “so satisfied being….being my myself.”
In the past, she has spoken about how Smith tried to ruin her reputation after their split. She hasn’t spoken out about him recently.
Known by many as the “beardless brother” and the first Robertson daughter-in-law from the popular television series “Duck Dynasty,” Al and Lisa Robertson have a backstory of love, treachery, and atonement. In sharing their experience through their bookA New Season, they want to encourage other couples going through comparable things.
A Very Personal Story Of Struggle
High school was where Al and Lisa first met and began dating, and in 1984 they were married. The couple has said that their early years were difficult due to the usual obstacles of college, establishing a career, and parenting. Unfortunately, infidelity was also an obstacle that the pair had to deal with. Lisa was emotionally entangled with a coworker in the summer of 1989. The romance developed into a serious strain on Al and Lisa’s marriage even though it was not sexual.
Though the path to reconciliation was difficult, Al forgave Lisa and the man she had been “cheating” with. In their book A New Season, Al acknowledges that their recovery was hampered by his frequent use of Lisa’s indiscretion against her.
They stayed together, but they didn’t really deal with their problems, which resulted in another affair ten years later. This time, in 1999, Al learned about Lisa’s full-blown affair with an old boyfriend via cell phone records.
Recovery After An Affair
Once more having to deal with the destruction of Lisa’s infIdelity, Al and Lisa chose to temporarily separate and go for counseling. Their efforts were rewarded with a private vow renewal ceremony that represented their resolve to mend their marriage. Today, they’ve made it their goal to help other spouses deal with the fallout from an affair, according to an interview with Focus on the Family.
Al said in the interview that he believes culture tends to imply that ending a marriage is simpler than trying to mend one. He stressed the need of knowing the causes of adultery in order to prevent the fallout from divorce, particularly for the children.
“They were born into this world deserving for you guys to get it right,” said Al.
Forgiveness and Reconciliation
Al and Lisa’s efforts to fix their marriage demonstrates both the great power of forgiveness and the challenges of getting over marital betrayal. They underline that forgiving takes time and shouldn’t be hurried. Though immediate forgiveness may seem nice, real healing takes time to process the loss of closeness and trust.
For personal healing as well as religious reasons, Lisa feels that forgiveness is essential.
“He tells us to forgive for ourselves because it releases within us the victim mentality and the hurt,” Lisa said in the interview.
Al agreed, saying that counseling and occasionally even separation should be used to approach forgiveness.
Today, Al and Lisa Robertson are not just reality TV stars; they are living testaments to the power of forgiveness and reconciliation. Their marriage is proof positive that feelings of betrayal and damaged trust can be healed. They still talk about their experience today and give couples going through comparable experiences support and empathy through their book.
According to NBC’s sources, she received $50 million straight away, and then the other $50 million came a year later.
It was a lot of money, but it didn’t compare to Dre’s total wealth, which, at the time of the NBC report, was reportedly around $820 million.
However, Celebrity Net Worth claims that as of 2024, Dre is now worth $500 million, and has an average monthly income of around $230,000.
When Nicole filed for divorce in June 2020, she was originally seeking $2 million a month in spousal support.
Around that time, TMZ’s insiders predicted that Nicole was entitled to about $100,000 in spousal support.
They also told the outlet that once the case was resolved and Dre had discontinued his then-practice of paying for all of her expenses, Nicole was going to have to learn to tighten her belt.
Court documents obtained by the Sun revealed that in July 2021, Dre was eventually ordered to pay his ex $293,000 a month, starting in August of that year.
Dr. Dre Allegedly Served Divorce Papers After Burying His Grandmother
A few months later, TMZ claimed that things got really ugly when Dre was served divorce papers during a tragic occasion.
He’d allegedly just finished burying his grandmother at a cemetery when he was approached by a process server.
The outlet’s sources alleged that Dre was in the cemetery’s parking lot at the time, and he was so upset by the situation that he refused to take the paperwork.
The server reportedly dropped the documents right there in the parking lot.
The papers were said to have been about Nicole’s attorney’s fees.
The TMZ report said that the couple were arguing over how much Dre needed to pay.
He’d reportedly paid $325,000, however, the judge had signed an order which said that he actually had to pay $1,550,000 – an amount that Dre did not think was accurate, but Nicole said the order was clear.
Throughout the case, Dre talked about how expensive the divorce was, and how it was costing him a lot.
Radar Online reported that while talking about his divorce, he once said that his goal and desire was to settle.
He wanted to move on with his life, put the divorce behind him, and put an end to the enormous costs of the procedure.
Dr. Dre’s Ex-Wife, Nicole Young, Clapped Back
Nicole clapped back and claimed that what he’d said wasn’t true.
She alleged that he was angry and spiteful because she didn’t want to give in to his demands, which she described as unreasonable.
Radar Online had gotten hold of court filings which said that if anyone was to blame for the contentious and expensive litigation, it was Dre, his team, and the choices Dre had made.
Nicole’s lawyer shared that he was under the impression that Dre was playing games in an attempt to prolong the litigation and emotionally and financially wear Nicole down.
TMZ commented on how nasty and personal things had gotten between the ex couple at different moments of the divorce procedure.
At one point, Nicole accused Dre of attempting to hide assets that were considered to be community property.
Dr. Dre Filed Embezzlement Lawsuit Against Ex-Wife
Then, in September 2020, Dre filed a lawsuit against Nicole claiming that she’d embezzled over $350,000 from his company, Recording One Studio, while they were married.
A report by Radar Online revealed that before the divorce proceedings began, Nicole allegedly had access to the maintenance and control of the business’ assets.
Which meant that she would’ve been allowed to transfer funds and write checks, too.
Dre accused his ex of decimating his assets when she allegedly stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from the company’s account.
He claimed that the money was not taken out for any business transactions, but for her own personal use.
According to a report by TMZ, Nicole’s lawyer released a statement saying that the lawsuit was a low-grade PR stunt by Dre and his team.
He added that there was no question that Nicole had both the contractual and the legal right to take the money out, and that Dre’s team was well aware of that.
Another Radar Online article announced that Dre dropped the embezzlement lawsuit in 2021, as part of the divorce settlement.
Why Dr. Dre’s Ex-Wife, Nicole, Filed for Divorce
When she originally filed for divorce, Nicole cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split, according to TMZ’s reporting on the news.
But the Sarno Law Firm reported that she later revealed that there was another reason for her wanting to end her marriage.
Nicole accused her ex husband of harming her throughout their marriage.
She claimed that he’d held a weapon to her head twice, and that he’d physically hurt her more than once.
She also said that because of Dre’s actions, she suffered from post-traumatic stress syndrome.
A Daily Mail report said that Dre denied the allegations against him, and claimed that his ex had invented the accusations after the divorce filing as a way to get money from him in the divorce.
One of the major disagreements the couple had during the lengthy divorce was over their prenup.
According to the Sarno Law Firm article, Dre and Nicole signed a prenuptial agreement just before they got married in 1996.
The agreement stated that any property they bought together would be considered community property, and any property they bought individually would be theirs to keep if they got divorced.
Dr. Dre and Nicole Young’s Prenup Agreement
Nicole alleged that she felt forced to sign the prenup.
Fox News reported on a statement by Nicole which claimed that before their wedding date, Dre demanded that she sign a premarital agreement that 16 of his lawyers had drafted.
She went on to explain that at the time, Dre was a well-known producer and rapper in the music industry, but he wasn’t anywhere near as famous as he later became during their marriage.
He reportedly told her that she had to sign the premarital agreement or he would not marry her.
She added that she was extremely reluctant, resistant, and afraid to sign the agreement.
Nicole then went on to claim something that would become a contested topic in the divorce.
She alleged that Dre let her know that he felt ashamed that he had pressured her into signing a premarital agreement, and that he tore up multiple copies of the agreement in front of her.
And she claimed that since that day, they both understood that there was no prenup and that it was null and void.
So, because of that alleged understanding, Nicole reportedly felt that Dre’s assets should’ve been split in half, because they’d verbally agreed that they weren’t bound by a prenup anymore.
However, Sarno Law Firm pointed out that according to the prenuptial agreement that Dre had reportedly torn up, it could only be amended or terminated through writing.
Dr. Dre Stood in Front of Bouquet That Read: ‘Divorced AF’
And that writing did not exist, which was why Dre was not legally obligated to give Nicole half of his fortune.
NBC news reported that aside from the $100 million dollars that Nicole left the marriage with, she also got to keep all her jewelry, as well as four vehicles- a Range Rover, a Rolls Royce, A Spyder motorcycle, and an Escalade Limousine.
As part of the divorce agreement, she had to move out of the couple’s Malibu beach home.
NBC’s sources claimed that Dre in turn got to keep the majority of his wealth, including trademarks, master recordings and interests in different partnerships and trusts.
An insider close to Dre told Rolling Stone that he was delighted with the settlement, as it meant that his ex wife would only get a fifth of his liquid assets.
When the divorce was finalized, a Capital Xtra report claimed that the rapper threw a party to celebrate the occasion.
Dre’s friend Breyon Prescott posted a photo of him on Instagram in front of a balloon bouquet that read- ‘Divorced AF’.
They even knew each other when they were both single.
But despite those periods of being single, they remained friends and supportive of one another.
One of the biggest reasons why they didn’t pursue a relationship earlier was because they were afraid of the pull they had to one another.
Both of them knew that if they ended up in a relationship, it would either make or break them.
They knew that if things went wrong, they’d bring a lot of trouble to each other’s lives.
Yet, they also knew that they could bring a lot of good trouble, too.
They eventually started dating just before the COVID-19 pandemic.
Yet, even then, they were very careful and cautious about dating each other.
Then, COVID happened, and while the pandemic was responsible for breaking some couples up, it made Rihanna and Rocky become very serious about one another.
Rihanna was actually grateful for the pandemic, at least in regards to how it sped up her relationship with Rocky.
She said that God must have known they needed a bit of help because they needed a push to make the final plunge together.
While they had plans to start a family together, they weren’t doing much to make that happen.
With the pandemic, all they had was time to spend together.
Rihanna said that if the pandemic hadn’t happened, then it would have taken far longer for them to get comfortable with each other and to know when they were ready.
A$AP Rocky Made Rihanna Feel Like She’s Enough
One of the things that Rihanna noticed that was different with Rocky was that she didn’t feel as though she wasn’t enough.
She said that in past relationships, she always tried hard to be a great partner, but she still always felt like it wasn’t enough.
With Rocky, she feels completely comfortable.
She said that happens when you’re with someone who sees you completely and believes in you completely.
Another big factor in all this is that Rocky chose her to be the mother of his children.
Rihanna said that when someone chooses you like that, it makes you feel great.
The feeling was mutual, too.
She knew that Rocky was going to be a great dad.
What Drives Rihanna Crazy About A$AP Rocky
Now, no romance is perfect, and Rihanna shared a few things about Rocky that drive her crazy.
The first is that he always dresses well.
Rihanna talked about how when they went on planes, he’d wear really fancy suits, and she’d be wearing sweatpants.
She said he made her feel like a bum because he looked amazing, and she looked less put together.
Apparently, she always asks him why he has to do that to her.
The other problem is something she said is one of the main reasons they get into fights.
They like to play games together, and one of them is a card game called Crazy Eights.
She said Rocky taught her how to play, and the game can get pretty competitive.
The problem is that Rocky taught her how to play, but then he cheats at playing.
He also changes the rules.
Rihanna said that he doesn’t just do that to her, either.
Whenever he plays the game with his friends, he does the same thing.
So, that drives her crazy.
Is Marriage in the Cards for Rihanna and A$AP Rocky?
It’s all in good fun, though, and if that’s the only problem they’re having, they’re doing just fine.
Some fans might be wondering when the two will get married, though.
Ben Affleck recently sparked plastic surgery rumors after being spotted looking extremely different. Many people believe that Jennifer Lopez pressured him into getting the cosmetic work done. Now, Ben is more miserable than ever.
So what’s going on with Ben’s bizarre appearance lately? The truth about what he did to his face, and what it means for his marriage is honestly insane.
On Sunday, May 5th, Ben made an appearance at Tom Brady’s Netflix roast. The Daily Mailreported that he left the audience completely stunned for a couple of seriously strange reasons.People were mainly shocked by how Ben’s face looked.
He recently shaved off his facial hair for one of his movie roles, but that wasn’t the only noticeable difference. The skin on his face also appeared to be super shiny and very tightly stretched. It quickly led to rumors that he’d had some type of plastic surgery.
However, viewers of the comedy special were also taken aback by Ben’s set. Instead of focusing on roasting Tom, he spent his time on stage angrily ranting about social media critics and trolls.
But what happened the next day was incredibly surprising. The following day, JLo walked the red carpet at the Met Gala. She also served as co-chair for the event.
Despite how important his wife’s role was, Ben was noticeably missing. It turns out that his absence and his misdirected anger the night before were due to an absolutely crazy reason.
Ben Didn’t Want to Get Botox
According to what a source told In Touch Weekly, Ben was pushed into getting fillers and Botox by JLo. He supposedly never wanted to get any work done, but she wanted him to be able to keep up with her youthful looks. She allegedly wouldn’t drop the issue until he agreed to it.
After Ben’s unexpected facial transformation was dragged online following his appearance at Tom’s roast, he was allegedly even more upset. So, he decided to completely skip the Met Gala. The insider claimed that Ben is taking accountability for giving in to JLo’s demand that he cosmetically change his face, but he’s still unhappy.
Now, the couple is reportedly having another unbelievable disagreement. The source explained that Ben supposedly never wants to get any other fillers or Botox again, and plans on aging gracefully from now on.
JLo is allegedly trying to convince him that he looks amazing after getting injectables. She actually wants him to agree to get “a little facial maintenance” again in the future.
Apparently, that might not even be a concern for long. The future of Ben and JLo’s marriage is totally up in the air. In a separate report by In Touch Weekly, an insider revealed that JLo’s “need to make their relationship so public and perfect” has been pushing Ben away more than ever lately.
The source added that Ben has been feeling so “overwhelmed and henpecked” by JLo that he can barely stand being around her anymore. After they were seen in New York City at the end of March, they weren’t publicly spotted together for over a month.
Ben Has Allegedly Moved Out
The insider said that Ben is fed up with living in JLo’s shadow and has been taking time to himself. But his decision to distance himself from his wife might not just be a temporary fix.
According to another In Touch Weeklysource, Ben has allegedly moved out of the house he and JLo shared. They claimed that the couple is even headed for divorce because he’s sick of dealing with her controlling behavior.
His decision to call it quits wasn’t only based on her pressuring him to cosmetically alter his face. Ben has supposedly been miserable in his marriage for quite a while now.
JLo has allegedly expected him to change himself in so many outrageous ways. According to The Things, she even has a list of super strict rules for him to follow.
Even though JLo and Ben have a team of hired staff to keep their home clean, she still expects him to make sure it looks spotless. She allegedly freaks out if she catches him making a mess, even if he just accidentally forgets to put a dish away.
There’s another rule she supposedly has for him that’s seriously insane. JLo reportedly requires Ben to work out with her whenever she hits the gym, which is multiple times a week.
When they first got back together, she supposedly even created a strict diet and exercise plan for him. Even if JLo was looking out for Ben’s best interests by trying to keep him healthy, demanding that he follow her fitness regime is definitely a little much.
JLo Keeps A Close Eye on Ben When They’re Together
She also added some really specific clauses to their prenup, and they’re truly unbelievable. One of the conditions JLo reportedly included in the prenup was that she and Ben are required to be intimate with each other at least four times a week.
She also added a clause that stated that they cannot spend more than five days apart from each other. If their work schedules don’t line up and could potentially cause them to be separated for more than five days, one of them has to travel to the other.
But that’s not all. JLo even expects Ben to FaceTime with her every single day that they’re apart.
If he’s not happy because of everything she forces him to do, wouldn’t demanding that he communicate with her daily just make their issues worse? It sounds like Ben is never allowed to have any space or time to himself.
Your Tangorevealed that part of the reason JLo won’t give him much breathing room might be because she’s concerned that his past sobriety struggles will resurface, and he’ll end up relapsing. JLo supposedly tries to keep Ben’s sobriety on track by testing his drinks to make sure he isn’t consuming any adult beverages.
She also keeps a close eye on him while they’re out together. She even controls how much money he tries to tip servers.
The outlet reported that a since-deleted TikTok, posted by someone claiming to have worked at an establishment that JLo and Ben visited, exposed the couple for being cheap. The employee explained that JLo is allegedly so stingy that she often tells Ben not to leave a tip.
JLo Refused to Respect Ben’s Request for Privacy
JLo’s need for Ben to constantly communicate with her if they aren’t together is extreme. It’s one thing to make sure they’re checking in with each other so they don’t grow apart during busy times, but her treating him like a child can’t be healthy for their relationship.
On top of the crazy, over-the-top rules JLo has for Ben, she expects him to make a big change for her. Even though he’s notoriously private, she wants him to be spotted out in public with her all the time.
According to CNN, in JLo’s recent documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, she admitted that Ben wasn’t comfortable with being the muse for her projects. In one scene, he even confessed that one of his main requests was that their relationship wasn’t on social media.
Ben said that he realized that it wasn’t for him to ask JLo to keep their romance off the Internet. He added that although they’re very different people, they were trying to learn how to compromise.
JLo also acknowledged that Ben was a “reluctant participant” in her documentary. But she claimed that he supported her anyway since he knew he couldn’t stop her from making art. Honestly, it sounds like she didn’t give him a choice in the matter.
Ben brought up that he and JLo had to learn how to compromise. Based on everything she’s demanded of him throughout the years, it doesn’t sound like she’s interested in compromising with him.
If the reports about Ben moving out and the couple being headed for divorce are true, it really wouldn’t be surprising. He’s been making countless changes for JLo, but it never seems to be enough for her.

Adrienne Bailon was part of a girl group with Naturi Naughton and Kiely Williams at the start of her career. They called themselves the 3 Little Women, which was shortened to 3LW.
The girls were in their mid-teens when the group was formed in 1999. Everything seemed to be going great for them.
But then, it all came crashing down. You’re not going to believe what happened and why.
Back in 1999, Adrienne, Kiely, and Naturi formed one of the fastest-rising girl groups ever. Not long after they got together, they put out hits like “No More” and “Playas Gon’ Play.”
With how fast they were rising, everyone was expecting them to keep coming out with more and more big hits. But that was not what happened. In fact, if anything, it was the opposite.
Out of nowhere, the original 3LW got divided. Or should I say – Naturi got kicked out?
It did not look good for the group. According to what Naturi has been saying, there was some serious drama between her and the 3LW management.
Michelle Williams Was Allegedly the Cause of the Drama
It only went downhill from there, when the rift started to involve Adrienne and Kiely. To make things worse, 3LW’s manager at the time was Kiely’s mom, Michelle Williams. Of course, when it came down to picking sides, Kiely sided with her mom, and Adrienne sided with Kiely.
This left Naturi all on her own. According to her, the real reason why all that drama was happening in the group was mainly because of Michelle.
Apparently, Naturi had much darker skin than Adrienne and Kiely. Because of how Michelle wanted the group to look, Naturi was not really a perfect fit. Despite all of that, Naturi wanted to fight for her place in the group.
I mean, 3LW was on the edge of hitting mainstream success. They had just gone on the TRL tour with Destiny’s Child. I don’t think I need to explain how huge this must have been for them.
Right as they were about to make a name for themselves, Kiely’s mom wanted Naturi out of the group. Naturi managed to hold on to her place in 3LW for a little while.
But then all this a breaking point when Naturi got into an argument with Michelle. It got heated fast, and then Adrienne and Kiely got involved in the argument, too. Just like you would expect, they were not on Naturi’s side.
Things apparently got really ugly. At one point, Adrienne and Kiely supposedly started cursing at Naturi. As if that wasn’t bad enough, they also started throwing the food they had at Naturi.
Naturi Was Replaced by Jessica Benson
At this point, Naturi had had enough and was ready to quit the group. According to her, she felt like she was getting physically violated when the food started leaving the plates and flying toward her. That was her cue to leave.
Since she was leaving, Naturi asked for a plane ticket to go back home to New Jersey. Now, at this point, Michelle was basically getting what she wanted.
But according to Naturi, it still wasn’t enough. Michelle allegedly refused to get her a plane ticket to go back home.
What’s even crazier is that after Naturi decided to leave the group, 3LW didn’t rebrand and change their name. Despite how much their name relied on having 3 women singing, Adrienne and Kiely tried doing it on their own.
Then the media started making fun of them by calling them 2LW. Apparently, Naturi was a key part of what made the group work. Without her there, it just kept going downhill for them.
At one point, 3LW was almost let go by their label and was going bankrupt to make things work. Then Michelle decided to get another third “little woman.”
Naturi’s replacement turned out to be Jessica Benson, but Jessica was no Naturi. Nothing major happened for the group after she joined.
Without Naturi, the Group Eventually Disbanded
Recently, Adrienne talked about her time in 3LW and her current relationships with the other members. Adrienne shared in an interview with People that it was important to talk about the good times she had with the group. But she also added that she wanted to remember the bad times, too, so that they could make them right.
According to Adrienne, they were only teenagers when they first formed 3LW. Even though it didn’t end well, they were grown enough now to try and fix things.
Adrienne even pointed out how they still managed to have outstanding careers after going their separate ways. Adrienne and Kiely eventually joined another girl group that was formed for the Disney Channel movie The Cheetah Girls. They made this jump after 3LW failed to gain traction after Jessica joined.
When Adrienne and Kiely left to join The Cheetah Girls, 3LW was disbanded. Adrienne and Kiely had a lot of success with The Cheetah Girls.
They starred in the movies and worked on studio albums. At the end of 2008, The Cheetah Girls disbanded to pursue their solo careers in music and dancing.
Naturi, on the other hand, went into the movie industry a few years after leaving 3LW. She starred in the movie Fame and even wrote some of the songs on the soundtrack for the movie. Naturi was also in the biopic Notorious.
Naturi and Adrienne Have Made Ammends
Her most notable role came later when she played Tasha St Patrick in Power. In fact, Power was what brought Naturi and Adrienne back together.
When Naturi was doing the promo for Power in 2017, she made an appearance on The Real. Adrienne was a co-host of the show.
So, when the women met on air, Adrienne made a very public apology to Naturi. She apologized for her part in making Naturi leave the 3LW.
Adrienne said that she never meant any harm to Naturi at the time. She always thought of Naturi as talented and beautiful.
After Adrienne apologized on air, it looked like things were starting to head in the right direction for 3LW again. At one point, they were even asked if they would ever get back together to release some more music.
Kiely Accused Naturi of Lying
Back then, Naturi talked about how she would love to drop some more music, but she had a pretty busy schedule at the time. But then, in 2020, she spoke about some new music that she was working on.
Apparently, the music would show how she felt when she was being pressured out of the group. So no one was expecting the other members of 3LW to be on those songs with Naturi.
Apart from their busy schedules, there might also be another reason why 3LW might not make music together again. While Adrienne and Naturi seem to have kissed and made up, Kiely has not been on board with any of that.
She actually accused Naturi of lying. According to Kiely, Naturi lied about what happened all those years ago and has continued to spread those lies against Kiely and her mother.
Kiely is nowhere near ready to shake hands and make up with Naturi anytime soon. Naturi, on the other hand, isn’t about to take back what she has been saying all this time.
So both women have yet to bury the hatchet. But Adrienne and Naturi remain close despite what’s been going on with Kiely.
Sean Kingston bought a huge TV for his home, but he didn’t actually pay for it. Now, the police are after him and his mom.
According to TMZ, the police performed a raid on Sean’s home in Florida on May 23rd, early in the morning. Sean wasn’t home at the time. He had a concert that he was doing in Los Angeles.
His mother, Janice Turner, however, was at home and had to open the door up to dozens of police officers who swarmed the house. Along with the police, Dennis Card, a lawyer, was there with specific instructions from the company he was working for.
It seems as though Sean bought a $150,000 home entertainment station but didn’t actually pay for it. The company that gave the entertainment system to Sean put in a lawsuit against him several years ago. Now, it seems as though it’s finally getting its justice.
Sean and His Mother Were Arrested
Dennis took pictures to document the raid. TMZ was able to get their hands on those pictures, too.
One of the most startling photos was of the entertainment station, itself. It was a massive TV that spanned an entire wall in Sean’s room.
The photo showed police officers carefully disassembling it panel by panel. It took some time since there were 1,000 panels that needed to be removed.
There were a few other things that the police confiscated, too. Dennis said that he wasn’t the only one reclaiming items that Sean supposedly didn’t pay for.
Two women also entered the home claiming that Sean had bought a really expensive mattress from them and never paid for it, either. So, they took the mattress.
As for Sean’s mother, police detained her and then charged her with fraud and theft. She’s in jail awaiting bail.
The police weren’t satisfied with just Janice, though. Later that day, the police went to Fort Irwin, which is out in the middle of California’s Mojave Desert.
Sean was there doing another performance before he had one lined up in Las Vegas. The police said that after the performance, Sean cooperated with them, and they took him to San Bernadino County jail. He was charged with the same crimes as his mother–fraud and theft.
Sean Only Paid the Downpayment on the Entertainment System
While Sean hasn’t talked about the charges yet, he did share a Story on Instagram. In it, he said that people loved negative energy. He also said that he was good and so was his mother.
Sean added that his lawyers were handling everything and included some emojis of prayer hands. So, it seems that Sean is leaving the legal mess for his lawyers to fix.
The company that is suing Sean, which led to his arrest, is Ver Ver Entertainment. According to CNN, they’re known for selling and installing high-end television and sound systems.
The company claimed that they gave Sean a discounted price with the understanding that he would make a promotional video with Justin Beiber. Sean paid the downpayment but failed to pay for the rest of his entertainment system afterward.
They also claimed that because Sean had worked with Justin in the past, they believed him when he said he’d make the video. Now, they realize that he no longer has a working relationship with Justin.
More details will likely emerge as the investigation continues.
Sofia Vergara has been a TV sensation ever since Modern Family hit the screens. On the show, she played her motherly role to perfection.
But despite her character raising two kids, it turns out that this wasn’t something Sofia herself wanted to do. Apparently, she doesn’t plan on ever having more than one child and the reason why is seriously interesting.
Sofia recently did a tell-all interview with People Magazine, where she opened up about her decision to not have any more children.
One of the reasons Sofia gave for this was that she already knew what it took to have and raise a child. So it’s not like this was a new experience that she was avoiding.
Sofia already has her son, Manolo Vergara, who she had back in September 1991. Sofia was only 19 years old when she got pregnant and gave birth to Manolo.
Over the years, she has talked about what it was like raising a child at just 19 years old. In the interview, she talked about how rewarding the experience was.
But it also wasn’t without its ups and downs. Sofia also admitted that she doesn’t remember much of her life before having Manolo.
Raising her son at that age was not the easiest thing and it came with a lot of headaches. Still, she can’t really complain because according to Sofia, it felt like they grew up together. It was a unique experience that she enjoyed.
Sofia Is Ready to Be a Grandmother
While growing up and raising Manolo at the same time, Sofia also made sure to set the best example that she could for him. So now, when people come around and compliment Manolo, she also feels rewarded.
Sofia also said on The Kelly Clarkson Show that she is proud of the man her son has become. Manolo went to Emerson College in Boston and graduated in 2015.
Now, he’s trying to follow in his mom’s footsteps and get into the movie industry. He’s also already landed some modeling gigs.
Sofia also shared that now that she is almost 52 and Manolo is heading towards 33, she can’t wait to be a grandmother. It looks like Sofia would prefer Manolo becoming a father over her bringing another child into the world herself. According to Sofia, she would be a much better “Abuela” at this point in her life.
She feels like she’s already playing a similar role with Manolo’s dog. According to Sofia, during the weekend, Manolo comes over and leaves his dog with her.
Then, he goes back to his place for the weekend and does whatever he has planned while Sofia gets to take care of the dog. This is something that Manolo apparently picked up from his mom.
Back when he was much younger, Sofia would also take Manolo to his grandparents’ house so that he could go outside and play while he was with them. Sofia could go out during the weekends, so it was a win-win situation. Now that Sofia is getting up there in age, she is ready to be on the other end of the win-win situation.
Sofia’s Decision Led to the End of Her Marriage
Speaking of age, that’s another reason why Sofia was not too interested in having another child with her ex-husband, Joe Manganiello. From Sofia’s perspective, she feels like she’s a little bit too old to be getting pregnant.
She added that thanks to science, women can still get pregnant and have babies even if they are older, but that wasn’t always the case.
Sofia had this to say about that: “Nature for some reason tells your body at 50 you are in menopause, it’s time for you to be done with that. There is a reason why nature is doing that.” It looks like Sofia would rather stick with nature’s side of the story.
She just doesn’t want to have another child, which actually played a major part in what led to the end of her marriage with Joe. Apparently, Joe wanted a child, but Sofia didn’t. It kept getting worse until they both decided to go their separate ways.
For Sofia, she felt like it just wasn’t right, trying to bring a child into this world considering everything that was going on. It also sounds like their marriage wasn’t exactly perfect, either. So it wouldn’t have been the best environment for a small child, anyway.
Having Another Child Could Have Impacted Her Career
Another reason why Sofia didn’t want to have another child was because of her career. Sofia recently starred in the TV series Griselda as the main character.
If she had gotten pregnant or recently given birth, it’s very likely that she would have missed out on this opportunity. It’s not just this TV show. Getting pregnant could have also interfered with her time on Modern Family.
I mean, maybe they could have woven it into the script, considering that her character, Gloria, did have a baby during the show’s run. But there is only so much you can do while pregnant, and that list keeps shrinking as the weeks go by.
There are other things that Sofia probably couldn’t do if she was pregnant, like appear on America’s Got Talent. It might have also derailed her various ideas and businesses outside the movie industry, like her jewelry line, for example. Basically, with all the career moves that she has been making over the years, raising a newborn child on top of that might have been too difficult.
This was something that Sofia talked about. It seems like a lot of women drew inspiration and felt empowered by Sofia’s decision to leave her marriage. They felt like she made the right decision by choosing not to raise another child.
Sofia felt like she would not be able to give her all to raising a child like she did with Manolo. After all, it takes a village to raise a child.
With everything that Sofia had going on, it looked like she just wasn’t ready to have a village around her. Even beyond that, giving birth to another child was still a deal breaker for Sofia.
Sofia Has Found Love Again
It looks like she has left all of the outside pressure to have another child in the past. From the looks of things, Sofia seems to be moving on with her new man, Dr. Justin Saliman.
According to InStyle, Sofia went Instagram official with Justin in April of this year. Justin and Sofia have been rumored to be seeing each other since October 2023.
She posted a picture of Justin attending to her broken leg with the caption: “If you ever get a major knee surgery, make sure you get a handsome doctor who will sleep with you that night!” Then, she also added: “Luv u Dr @jdsaliman.” It’s easy to see that Sofia is in a happy place again after her divorce.
