Russell Simmons Defends Diddy

Sean “Diddy” Combs is still juggling a number of legal matters pertaining to multiple sexual assault lawsuits and a federal probe. The music mogul has kept a low profile throughout the recent events and hasn’t addressed the accusations of sexual abuse.

For the most part, other music industry leaders have chosen to keep quiet about Combs’ legal problems. But it looks like record executive Russell Simmons has now weighed in, and he’s defending Diddy.

The co-founder of Def Jam Records just posted a live video on Instagram that has been divided into several parts. Among the many subjects he addressed was the recent rap dispute between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. While talking about the idea of people pulling each other down, Russell Simmons brought up Diddy.

Simmons urged followers to reconsider their enjoyment of the recent comments made about the troubled Grammy winner. However, he did not specifically address the legal issues the rapper is dealing with.

“When you tear someone down or you watch someone tear someone down, try not to get so excited,” said Russell in the live video. “I know it’s fun to watch for some people.”

If I had a nickel for every nasty meme sent to me by people whose lives were enhanced and built by Sean Combs. It’s like, it seems a bit hypocritical since the only reason you have a life is because you worked for him, or he gave you a job or lifted you up somehow.”

What is Diddy Being Accused Of?

Sean Combs is involved in a number of lawsuits brought by different plaintiffs. Cassie, his ex-girlfriend, said he had abused and sexually assaulted her during their more than ten-year relationship.

A day after the case was settled, Joi Dickerson-Neal sued Diddy, alleging that he had sexually assaulted her in the early 1990s while she was a college student. Former producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones claims Combs drugged and harassed him sexually. Two Jane Does have also filed lawsuits pertaining to sexual abuse.

Diddy has refuted the claims made against him via his legal team. According to People Magazine, he just moved to have a December 2023 filing from one of the Does dismissed.

Back in March, Diddy’s houses were searched in relation to an alleged sex trafficking investigation. Federal agents left with bags and boxes full of computers, phones, and other personal items after the searches at his homes in Miami and Los Angeles.

Russell Simmons Doesn’t Want to “Watch Our Brothers Fall”

During Russell Simmons’ live video, he discussed his opinions on the subject of sexual assault allegations and his own experience. Several women accused Simmons of sexual assault back in 2017. Denying the accusations, he eventually left Def Jam and his other companies.

In the Instagram Live video, Simmons discussed how difficult it is to watch “our brothers fall.” “Watching our brothers fall is hurtful,” said Simmons. “Having everybody get together and laugh at our brother’s fall or supporting the tearing down of our brothers is tough.”

Diddy has not been charged with any crimes related to the lawsuits or federal raids as of this writing.

Meri Brown Is Desperate for Money

May 30, 2024

There is no shortage of reality stars trying to make money on the internet these days, and the latest one appears to be Meri Brown from Sister Wives. The hit TLC show is well over a decade old at this point, and things have unraveled quickly for the family in the last few years. Meri is the third and most recent of the four wives to leave their shared husband, Kody.

The news shouldn’t come as a major shock as longtime fans of the show know that the pair’s relationship struggled from their early days on TV. Still, three of the “wives” leaving within three years is a surprise to many, especially as Koday and Meri were together the longest. The most recent season of Sister Wives wrapped up in December, with much of the season covering the breakup.

It obviously didn’t take long for Meri to realize that her reality TV career was nearing an end. She recently launched a website called Worthy Up, which she calls “a space where every woman recognizes her worth, embraces her uniqueness, and thrives in a community that celebrates individual and collective growth.”

Meri posted a link to the site on her Instagram at the beginning of May to share the new community with her followers. Unfortunately, commenters quickly ridiculed her over the cost.

What Is Worthy Up?

The Worthy Up site offers three membership tiers. The cheapest starts at $150 and the highest costs $600. There is also a middle tier for $300. The membership lasts one year and includes the “benefits” listed on the site.

However, it still isn’t clear what people paying these high prices actually get. For example, every tier includes a “Printable PDF WOW workbook” and access to a Facebook group. Still, that does not explain what you are paying for or how it will improve your life.

The highest tier includes a monthly Q&A and live discussion with Meri.

Meri is offering an additional package under the website’s EXPERIENCES tab. It is a “Daycation” in Orlando on June 2nd. There are only a few details about the event, but the listing does mention a day at Disney with Meri.

This experience appears to include more than one of her memberships, at least. However, the cost for the single-day event is $300, which does not include airfare or a hotel.

It’s still hard to say whether this is a get-rich-quick scheme or an attempt at life coaching. Nonetheless, it is unlikely that people are lining up to sign up for a questionable “service” when many are questioning what they can afford at the grocery store.

Mary appears to be leveraging the last bit of her reality TV fame before it fades. There is no word on whether Meri will be in the next season of Sister Wives. Rumors indicate that filming for season 19 is underway, and it will cover the recent death of Kody and ex-wife Janelle’s son Garrison.

Meri’s Previous Career

Newer Sister Wives fans may not recall Meri working, which raises some questions about her financial situation. However, she was going to school for Psychology and worked in the industry in the early days of Sister Wives.

Unfortunately, Meri left that job shortly after season one premiered as people began recognizing her. Since then, she participated in several business ventures. However, it is unclear whether any of those were successful or whether she plans to rely on Worthy Up to support her.

Two of Meri’s ventures were multi-level marketing schemes with clothing companies LuLaRoe and Park Lane. Meri also owns a bed and breakfast called Lizzie’s and is active on Cameo, a platform where fans can pay celebrities to send them personalized messages.

With all these business ventures, it is hard to believe Meri will go broke anytime soon. However, she may see the writing on the wall as she fades into obscurity after being on TV.

Jamie Foxx’s Daughter Exposes Her Dad and Diddy

May 30, 2024

Allegations have emerged that Jamie Foxx’s health scare was not a random act of fate but a deliberate attempt on his life. And the prime suspect is none other than Sean “Diddy” Combs!

These claims could easily have been dismissed as tabloid trash. However, they were made by Jamie’s daughter, Corinne Foxx, which made people look into the matter more keenly.

When Jamie Foxx’s health took a mysterious turn for the worse, it became so severe that his fans feared for his life. It took a long time before the public got an official statement regarding Jamie’s health. People realized he wasn’t coming back to the scene anytime soon when his projects were halted, and a stand-in actor had to be used.

At one point, rumors swirled that he had lost his sight. After Jamie’s recovery, he described the ordeal as a brush with death.

Corinne believes that Diddy was trying to take her father out of the picture. Given the dark rumors surrounding Diddy, Corinne’s accusations aren’t easy to ignore. Thankfully, Jamie bounced back without permanent damage, but fans were left to wonder what really happened. Diddy’s name kept popping up.

Diddy’s Plan Was Long in the Making

Jamie and Diddy used to be tight. Diddy was Jamie’s gateway to the music world, and Jamie often attended Diddy’s infamous parties. These weren’t just any parties—they were legendary in the hip-hop scene, and Jamie wanted in.

However, Jamie made the mistake of spilling party secrets. He mentioned the extravagant sums Diddy blew on these events—money that common folk will never see in their lifetime. Jamie even named big industry players like Jay-Z, Kanye West, Dr. Dre, and Pharrell Williams as regulars at Diddy’s bashes.

What Jamie didn’t realize was that these revelations were a big no-no. Diddy’s parties were shrouded in secrecy, with attendees signing NDAs to ensure silence. Jamie’s loose lips might have convinced Diddy that he needed to silence his former friend permanently.

RELATED: JLo Exposed by Diddy

In his stand-up routines, Jamie once joked about a fight with Jennifer Lopez, Diddy’s then-girlfriend, mocking her singing abilities. These jabs likely added fuel to Diddy’s fire.

Jamie was just reminiscing about old times, unaware that his words would land him in the hospital for months. If Corinne’s allegations are true, Diddy’s plan to get back at Jamie was long in the making, striking when Jamie least expected it. Now that Jamie has a second shot at life, fans are hoping he’ll take legal action if Diddy was indeed involved.

This Isn’t the First Accusation Against Diddy

Diddy has a history of such accusations. When Kim Porter, his ex-girlfriend, died of pneumonia, many suspected foul play.

Kim’s ex-husband, Al. B claimed that Kim had confided in him about Diddy making her life a nightmare and that she had critical information about him. Shortly after advising her to contact the FBI, Kim was found dead.

In another twist, Al. B ended up in the hospital, comatose, when he started talking about the foul play surrounding Kim’s death. If you’re skeptical about Diddy’s capacity for violence, music producer Lil’ Rod’s 70-page lawsuit against him reveals Diddy’s boasts about bribing witnesses and jurors in his 1999 club shooting case.

So, did Diddy have a hand in Jamie’s illness? While the truth remains murky, one thing is clear: Diddy doesn’t take kindly to those who cross him. Jamie’s ordeal might just be a warning to anyone thinking of exposing Diddy’s secrets.

What Happened to Tom Brady and Bridget Moynahan’s Son, ‘Jack’

While Tom Brady is now known for his NFL accomplishments and his relationship with Gisele Bündchen, you may have forgotten that he has a son with Blue Bloods star Bridget Moynahan. John “Jack” Edward Thomas Moynahan has turned 16, and it’s time to look at what happened to the boy.

Tom Brady and Bridget Moynahan’s Shocking & Unexpected Pregnancy

The arrival of Jack was a shock. Brady and Moynahan had broken up by the time of the pregnancy, so the two had to quickly figure out how they were going to co-parent. Neither parent expected this, but they quickly focused on what was best for their child. That didn’t stop the two from being excited about the birth. According to PEOPLE Magazine, a friend of Moynahan’s said that she was “excited,” knowing that she would be a “great mom.” Brady’s agent, Don Yee, shared that “Tom and his family are excited about the pregnancy.”

Jack was born on Aug. 22, 2007, with fans seeing signs that the baby was about to be born. Tobert Kraft, the Patriots owner, had lent Brady his private jet and Brady missed practice that day. However, Brady didn’t make it to the delivery room. He was at St. John’s Medical Center in Santa Monica, California, and then went in afterward.

Tom and Bridget’s Healthy Co-Parenting Relationship

The two celebrities co-parented, with Jack spending most of his time with his mother and currently lives in New York with her, where she films Blue Bloods. However, Brady still played an important part in his life. Moynahan spoke out about how her son had “two loving parents.” She also commented on Bündchen’s role, who stepped in as a stepmother.

There were many reports of problems between mom and stepmom, but that’s not what was going on behind closed doors. Moynahan shut down the rumors as soon as she could. Both of them found partners who supported Brady and Moynahan co-parenting and also loved Jack as their own.

When Bündchen gave birth to her son with Brady, Benjamin, she commented about how good Jack was as a big brother. Jack became Ben’s hero.

What Are Tom Brady’s Son’s, ‘Jack,’ Career Plans?

As much as many would love for Jack to follow his father’s footsteps, Moynahan shared in 2017 that Jack is more interested in playing soccer. He also watched the 2016 Olympics and wanted to win gold in swimming. Brady confirmed Jack’s love for soccer and the idea of becoming an Olympian in 2018, sharing that “He wants to be an Olympics soccer goalie.”

That has changed. In 2023, Moynahan shared that he is more into basketball and lacrosse, according to The New York Post.

That hasn’t stopped Jack from playing football. He plays quarterback on his high school team. This is something that father and son bond over. Jack even signed up to be a ball boy for the Buccaneers in 2021.

What about an acting career? That’s not something Moynahan has influenced. She is focused on him growing up as a kid and finding his own thing. At 16, he doesn’t know what he wants to do yet, according to Moynahan’s interview on Live with Kelly and Mark in 2023, but that’s okay! She has focused on taking him to concerts, with one of his most recent being a Red Hot Chili Peppers Concert. He is also currently learning how to drive now that he has his learner’s permit, according to Page Six.

The Downfall of Dog the Bounty Hunter

May 30, 2024

Duane “Dog” Chapman made a name for himself as a bounty hunter, becoming famous in 2003 when he captured Andrew Luster, heir to the Max Factor cosmetics fortune. Luster was accused and later convicted of multiple sexual assaults using the date rape drug GHB.

A year later, Chapman was given a television show, Dog the Bounty Hunter. It aired on A&E from 2004 until 2012.

After that, he and his late wife, Beth, starred in a similar show, Dog and Beth: On the Hunt, which aired on CMT from 2013 until 2015. His most recent series, Dog’s Most Wanted, aired in late 2019 on WGN America.

Chapman is no stranger to controversy. He was charged with third-degree murder in 1976 and spent 18 months in jail. More recently, his first TV show was temporarily taken off the air in 2007 when he was recorded repeatedly using a racial slur in a private telephone conversation that made its way online.

Still, he undoubtedly found significant success. At one point, he had an estimated net worth of around $6 million. However, he’s now fallen on hard times.

Dog Has Faced Significant Difficulties in His Life

He’s suffered a lot of loss in his life. His son, Zebadiah, died at just 30 days old in 1980. His daughter, Barbara Katy, lost her life in a car crash in 2006. In 2022, his “right-hand man,” David Robinson, died after collapsing during a Zoom call at his home.

But the loss of his wife, Beth, contributed most to Chapman’s downfall. She was diagnosed with stage two throat cancer in September 2017. The disease was initially pushed successfully into remission, but it returned and spread to her lungs.

After being placed in a medically induced coma, Beth died from complications from the illness on June 26, 2019. She was just 51 years old.

The medical bills for Beth’s care left Chapman on the brink of being broke, and he nearly lost his home. Thankfully, that didn’t happen. Sporadic appearances on shows like The Masked Singer (on which he suited up as an armadillo) will certainly assist in fixing that unfortunate financial predicament.

Chapman has since remarried. He met Francie Frane six months after Beth’s passing. Like Chapman, Frame had recently lost her partner.

The couple tied the knot on September 2, 2021. It’s Chapman’s sixth marriage overall.

Soon after Beth’s passing, Chapman experienced chest pains and was diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism – a potentially fatal blockage of the arteries. He refused treatment for the condition and was told by the prominent physician and television personality Dr. Oz that he was a ticking timebomb who was doing himself and his loved ones a disservice by ignoring the ailment.

At 71, as he adjusts to life without a television contract and embraces his latest marriage, those around him hope he remains healthy and happy despite his concerning diagnosis and recent monetary woes.

Kellie Pickler’s 911 Call Revealed

May 30, 2024

A recently released audio recording reveals the distressing 911 call made by Kellie Pickler’s assistant on the day they discovered her husband, songwriter Kyle Jacobs, could be dead. The country singer Kellie Pickler can be heard screaming in agony in the background. Both women were in shock after seeing blood oozing below the bedroom door in their Nashville home, immediately assuming the worst had happened to Kyle.

Kellie’s assistant, Sherry Caldwell, quickly dialed 911 at around 1:20 pm on February 17th, 2023, pleading for immediate help. From the exclusive audio, Sherry is heard saying, “Somebody’s shot or something.”

When asked if they were near the person, Sherry replied, “We just see blood, and the door’s closed.” She then added that the blood was coming from under the door and begged the dispatcher to hurry. Throughout the call, Kellie’s voice could be heard screaming hysterically, though her words remained inaudible.

The Women Knew What Lay Behind the Door

The entire experience was extremely traumatizing for the two women. They were unsure of what to do other than call 911.

Sherry described the scene as so horrific that they were scared to open the door, but they had a grim idea of what had happened. She said, “We think we know, but…please hurry.”

The dispatcher assured Sherry that help was on the way but continued to probe for more information. The dispatcher asked, “Do you think he shot himself?” Sherry hesitated before responding, “He’s got a gun…yeah.”

In situations like this, dispatchers often direct callers to check on the victim and attempt to help before emergency services arrive. Sherry was asked if she could open the door and try to stop the bleeding.

Summoning all her strength, Sherry can be heard walking and then telling Kellie, “They want me to see if I can stop his bleeding.” Kellie continued to scream hysterically.

Sherry then informed the dispatcher that the door was locked. The dispatcher urged Sherry to seek help from neighbors to get the door open, saying, “If you can, try to get somebody to help you get that door open.”

Kellie Only Recently Spoke Out About the Tragedy

Unfortunately, by the time help arrived, Kyle was already dead. Three months after the incident, autopsy results revealed that the cause of death was a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The death was ruled a suicide.

Further diagnosis from the autopsy didn’t find any drugs in Kyle’s system but revealed that the songwriter had a long struggle with pseudoseizures. This condition means he experienced seizures caused by psychological issues. Kyle, who was 49 at the time, also suffered from elevated liver enzymes, gastrointestinal bleeding, and chronic alcohol use.

Kellie and Kyle shared a beautiful 11-year marriage, even documenting their union on the show “I Love Kellie Pickler.”

It took Kellie six months to publicly talk about the horrific incident. She paid a heartfelt tribute to her late husband, saying, “One of the most beautiful lessons my husband taught me was in a moment of crisis if you don’t know what to do. ‘Do nothing, just be still.’”

Kellie expressed her gratitude to friends, family, and everyone who supported her during her darkest moments. She thanked them for continuously checking on her.

The Dark Side of Priscilla Presley

May 30, 2024

To the public, Priscilla Presley is best remembered as the child bride of Elvis Presley. Many consider Priscilla a devoted mother. However, even if she did manage life in the spotlight with some dignity, how she is said to have managed Lisa Marie, hints at her much darker side.

Priscilla Ann Wagner was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1945. She met army conscript Elvis in 1959.

She was 14 years old at the time, and Elvis was already a superstar. Since Priscilla was a minor, the relationship sparked controversy.

In her memoir ‘Elvis and Me’, Priscilla describes how she molded herself to fit Elvis’s expectations of her. But was this eager submissiveness a form of manipulation in itself?

Priscilla feared Elvis would leave her for Ann Margret, so her father made an entry into the scene. He threatened to ruin Elvis’ career if he refused to marry Priscilla.

Marrying Elvis isn’t the only example of Priscilla’s manipulations. In her memoir, she attempted to rewrite history when she talked about her affair with karate instructor, Mike Stone.

According to critics, she moved the narrative away from the established belief that Priscilla starred as the passive victim. Instead, Priscilla was presented as an independent, free-thinking woman. She may well have been.

Lisa Marie Was Forced Into Joining a Cult

However, Lisa Marie’s account, and that of others, made note of Priscilla’s manipulativeness, not Elvis’s as she portrayed. She stated that it was Priscilla who was often away from home. Although tactfully describing their relationship as complex, Lisa Marie hinted at the lack of a maternal presence and emotional support.

Truly, there’s little doubt about Priscilla making some poor decisions around her daughter’s upbringing. Lisa Marie’s enrollment in the Church of Scientology at 12 years old after several years of sexual assault and after her father’s untimely death for instance.

Little more than a cult back then, Lisa Marie was forced into the church with little concern about the impact its doctrine would have on her well-being. As it was, medicating damaged children into submission was part of their thing.

Later, Lisa Marie described the film ‘Priscilla’ made from the memoir, as ‘shockingly vengeful and contemptuous’ for presenting her father to the world as both manipulative and predatory. Priscilla on the other hand, oblivious to her daughter’s deep concerns, fully supported the film.

Priscilla Has Continued to Contest the Presley Estate

This strained their relationship even further so that even after Lisa Marie’s death, Priscilla was still fighting. She fought to contest the details of Lisa Marie’s trust management.

A 2016 amendment had removed her and her manager, Barry Siegel, as trustees in favor of her grandchildren. She badly wanted back in.

It was a similar story after her divorce from Elvis. She dropped the Presley name for a small fortune in spousal support, only to pick it up again shortly after his death. There are still disputes over the Presley estate and personal grievances between Priscilla and her grandchildren.

Even so, Priscilla’s contribution to the Elvis story and his legacy is legendary. She remains a complicated and savvy businesswoman who has negotiated her life from a wholly unique and uncompromising position.

Besides, there were others manipulating Elvis before the time she arrived. Perhaps, back then, strategic manipulation was the name of the game all around.

What Really Happened with Elvis and June Carter

May 30, 2024

It’s no secret that Elvis Presley was involved with other women while married to Priscilla Presley and during his relationship with Linda Thompson. Was one of those affair partners June Carter Cash?

RELATED: Who Said No to Elvis Presley?

Her son John Carter Cash suggested that an affair was likely. He often spoke of how Elvis would stay over, and how his father was jealous of Elvis. Now, we’re looking at the truth behind the rumors.

The Rumors of June Carter and Elvis Presley

One thing is known: June Carter and Johnny Cash had a 12-year love affair that eventually led to them marrying. However, before that, rumors circulated that June was involved with Elvis.

Even Johnny believed the rumors. He was jealous of The King of Rock and Roll, even though Elvis introduced Carter to Cash’s music—leading to the start of their love affair. Elvis often sang Johnny’s songs to her.

June was not the only woman Elvis was linked to back in the day. He was linked to many women he worked with, giving the rumors of an affair with June some weight.

There was also the potential that the two were distantly related. Their families were close, and it led to June traveling on tour with Elvis a few times. They were often joined by June’s mother and sisters.

Johnny Cash Was Not the Only One Jealous

While John Carter Cash can talk about his own experiences seeing his mom and Elvis together and how his father was jealous, there are reports of June’s first husband also being jealous of The King, according to The Express.

June married Carl Smith in 1952. They did not have a happy marriage. Troubles arose as Elvis grew in popularity in 1955.

Carl was sure that something happened between June and Elvis on multiple occasions, but those thoughts were never proven. June said that she never had an affair with Elvis.

John shared “Though Mom always maintained that she never had an affair with Elvis, Carl (her first husband) believed differently and perhaps for good reason. After Carl moved out of their Madison home, Mom would sometimes let Elvis stay at the house to ‘rest’ after a tour.”

June told her son that his father was always jealous of the man. John remembers the “mischievous twinkle in her eye” when she would talk about The King.

Despite the jealousy, Elvis and Cash remained friends. Elvis would play Cash’s songs on jukeboxes when he traveled with June to make sure she and the whole world knew about him.

June has never admitted to any affair with Elvis. She did tell her son she wondered what it would have been like had she fallen in love with Elvis, but her heart was for Cash.

The second she met him, there were sparks. June and Johnny were able to marry in 1968, two years after they divorced their spouses at the time. They were together until June died in 2003.

Exposing the Sad Truth About Nelly and Ashanti

May 30, 2024

Nelly and Ashanti’s romantic relationship went from being the talk of the town to ancient history over a decade ago. But, with news of rekindled passion, some fans fear there may be an imbalance in their affections.

The List reported Ashanti citing insecurities and acting “out of character” as major motivators for the couple’s previous breakups. The story isn’t entirely a sad one, though.

How the Two Got Together

Nelly and Ashanti started dating back in 2003. They met at a Grammy Awards press conference when Nelly sarcastically asked Ashanti for her autograph. In an interview with People, she mentioned that she wrote her autograph down on the event’s program for him, but didn’t give him her number for some time.

According to Essence, the two went steady until 2013 before calling it quits for a full decade.

A Decade Off and Now On Again

Since their breakup in 2013, the two haven’t shown many signs of getting back together. There had even been signs of lingering hostility between them. According to Essence, in the 2022 documentary “The Murder Inc Story” Nelly criticized Ashanti for abandoning him when he ran into trouble with the law.

The Murder Inc. Story documentary also clearly showcased some of the issues Ashanti had with Irv Gotti. She was later reported by USA Today to have said that Gotti held a lot of bitterness toward her for having pursued a relationship with Nelly in the first place.

Ashanti Shows Him Love

Despite having hit a few rough patches along the way, Ashanti seems to be committed to patching things up with Nelly. She was seen at the MTV Video Music Awards event with a purse bearing a picture of them both together, according to Essence.

Nelly hasn’t shown up to any events with Ashanti’s face on a backpack yet, but the two have been seen at events in matching outfits recently, including at the QC Music Black Ball in 2023.

Taking Things to the Next Level

Essence reported that Nelly finally admitted the two were an item again in an interview with Love and Hip Hop.

In response to a question about how things are going for them, Nelly had the following to say: “Yeah. I mean because it’s no pressure. You know, before I felt like both of us are doing what we’re doing career-wise. And when you got so many people in the middle of it, it can be tough.”

But, their relationship is more than it was before. This time, the two are making it official and have gotten engaged. CNN reported that the couple shared the news via Essence, on social media.

That’s not all… they have a baby on the way! Given their rocky history and relationship hiatus, no one can really say for sure what the future has in store for Nelly and Ashanti. Still, the news of them finally starting a family may make loyal fans feel better about them being together again.

Jon Gosselin Reveals He Has a 9th Child

May 30, 2024

If you’re familiar with Jon Gosselin, you’re probably aware that the main reason he’s famous is that he and his then-wife, Kate Gosselin, were the stars of Jon & Kate Plus 8, a reality television series that aired for ten years from April 4, 2007 until July 24, 2017.

Jon and Kate initially gained media coverage on May 10, 2004, when Kate prematurely gave birth to sextuplets. Remarkably, sons Aaden Jonathan, Collin Thomas, and Joel Kevin, and daughters Alexis Faith, Hannah Joy, and Leah Hope added to an existing pair of twin daughters, Cara Nicole and Madelyn “Mady” Kate. This meant that Jon and Kate were the parents of eight children.

Their television careers began when they appeared on two Discovery Health Channel specials: 2005’s Surviving Sextuplets and 2006’s Sextuplets and Twins: One Year Later. Those two shows spawned their popular decade-long series, which started life on Discovery and moved to TLC after two seasons.

The couple separated in 2009, and Jon has since started and ended relationships with Liz Jannetta and Colleen Conrad. His current relationship with girlfriend Stephanie Lebo, however, is serious enough for him to have revealed he has a “ninth child.”

Jon & Stephanie Plus 3

Jon, now 47, moved into a five-bedroom mansion in Pennsylvania with Stephanie, 11 years his junior, in 2023 and has taken on the role of stepfather to her teenage daughter, Giulianna. In a conversation with The U.S. Sun, Jon admitted that his relationship with Giulianna took a while to flourish, but the pair now love hanging out and have a father-daughter bond.

Jon said, “It took Giulianna and I a while to warm up to each other, but now I primarily work at night now, so we hang out a lot during the day. I’ll say to her, ‘Do you want to go to Hershey Park’ and she’ll be like ‘Yes! Let’s go.’

She’s been used to being on her own with her mom, and she’s very self-sufficient. She can make her own chicken nuggets.

I’m learning more about Giulianna and I think we have similar personalities. We both like to be alone and play on our electronics. With Julianna, I feel like she’s my ninth child.”

He even went on to say, “Giulianna has a different last name than her mom, but she said ‘I don’t want to be a Lebo. I want to be a Gosselin.’”

Stephanie also addressed her daughter’s relationship with Jon, confirming his words: “She has told Jon she loves him. She sees him as a dad.”

Two of Jon’s children from his relationship with Kate – Collin and Hannah – also live with him and Stephanie, meaning their home is a blended family environment. His other children have flown the proverbial nest or live with their mother.

Jon and Stephanie insist they have no intention of having more children. He is satisfied with nine being his final number. We wish the couple and their hybrid family all the best in the future together.
