Why Jenelle Pulled Her Kids Out of School

Jenelle Evans is raising some eyebrows from her fans with her decision to homeschool her children. According to her Instagram story, she pulled her children, Kaiser and Ensley, out of school to teach them at home. Her decision doesn’t include Jace, who is 14 years old.

Jenelle shares Kaiser with her ex-husband, Nathan Griffith. Ensley is shared with her estranged husband, David Eason.

Jenelle’s family has raised a few eyebrows before, but her most recent decision to homeschool her children has received backlash. Part of the reason is the method she’s using to teach her children.

In the Instagram story, Jenelle explained that she’d be teaching her kids by taking them to educational facilities in the area. She said that she had taken them to the aquarium the previous day. According to her, the children learned a lot during the visit.

Besides her announcement, the Instagram story also showed a day of homeschooling for her children. Jenelle took Kaiser and Ensley to a local Children’s Museum. The video showed several clips of her children interacting and playing with different exhibits.

One exhibit was about dental hygiene. The kids were able to act out what a typical dentist visit is like. There was also information about dental X-rays and dental health.

Museums Are Not a Replacement For School

They discovered an exhibit about yoga where they copied the instructor’s movements. As with most Children’s Museums, the exhibits introduced certain concepts for children to learn about more in-depth later.

The problem Jenelle’s fans had with her decision to homeschool her children is that it seems as though she just plans on taking them to museums. While museums can provide information about local, regional, and worldwide history, as well as introduce scientific concepts, they’re not schools. Unless she’s testing them and asking questions to ensure they’re retaining the information that the museum is offering, all the children are really doing is just playing.

One viewer even asked Jenelle if she was qualified to homeschool her children. The quality of a child’s education tends to fall upon the teacher and facility in charge of education.

If Jenelle doesn’t have any experience in teaching, she may find it difficult trying to teach her children to grasp concepts. Jenelle answered the viewer’s question, however, by showing off her graduation photos from attending medical assisting college back in 2015.

All the same, just because she has a degree doesn’t mean she’s qualified to teach her kids. Some viewers are upset that she’s chosen to pull her kids out of school because of her lack of qualifications.

Now, some fans might be wondering why the former Teen Mom 2 star chose to homeschool her kids in the first place. Jenelle said it was because she found out the school they were in was not safe.

Jenelle’s Children Have Been in a Stressful Environment

She didn’t go into detail about why this particular school is unsafe compared to others. However, it seems it’s the driving force behind the decision.

Janelle said that she wanted to keep her kids at home, so she could keep an eye on them and keep them safe. She also said that life had been very stressful for them lately, so she thought having them at home would be good for them.

Some of the stress that she might be referring to is her separation from her husband, David. Despite being together for six years, the couple decided to part ways.

However, the legal system in North Carolina has made it difficult for them to divorce. Janelle explained that in the state of North Carolina if you want to get divorced, you have to legally separate and live in two separate addresses for over a year.

The problem they had was that neither she nor David wanted to move out. So, she did some research and found out she could do something called separation by bed and board. No doubt with the intention of getting divorced in the air, that might leave the home feeling a little stressed.

Some fans might also remember that Child Protective Services were also investigating her and David after her son, Jace, ran away from home. Jace claimed that David had assaulted him.

According to US Weekly, those charges were eventually dropped, and Child Protective Services dismissed the case. David denied the accusation. Whatever might be happening in Jenelle’s home, not everyone is happy that her two youngest children will be removed from their friends at school.

Tiffany Haddish Speaks Out on Common’s Love Life

Common dumped Tiffany Haddish before he started dating Jennifer Hudson. Now, Tiffany is speaking out about Common’s “dating patterns,” and her opinion on his love life is pretty shocking.

According to The Source, Tiffany calls her ex-boyfriend’s dating patterns “distinct,” and she’s opening up about their relationship three years after what the outlet called a “public split.”

The Source made these claims based on Tiffany’s exclusive interview with People.com on April 28th.

Tiffany Haddish Said It Was ‘Two Years of Him Chasing Me Down’ 

People wrote that Tiffany’s involvement with Common was her “last known relationship,” and according to the outlet, Common “pursued her for some time” before they went public with their romance several years ago.

Tiffany refers to Common as the “only celebrity” she’s ever “entangled with,” and she alleges that it was “two years of him chasing me down” before she claims she finally gave in and said, “Okay, let’s do something.”

Tiffany even gave a timeline in the interview, saying she and Common started dating at the “top of 2020, but we met at the beginning of 2018, 2017.”


The April 28th People interview also mentioned something Common said about Tiffany when they interviewed him in July 2021. 

Common Told Tiffany: ‘I Think This Relationship Has Run Its Course’

At that time, Common claimed that he needed to “enjoy life.” He said he was “experiencing that” and was “grateful for that” in his relationship with Tiffany.

Shockingly, Tiffany is now alleging that her relationship with Common wasn’t quite as enjoyable as he made it out to be. 

She told People she and Common “quietly” went their separate ways in August 2021. But according to Tiffany, their split was not “mutual.”

Later on in 2021, Tiffany did an interview with The Washington Post, and People mentioned Tiffany’s quote to the Post that her breakup with Common “was more him saying, ‘I think this relationship has run its course.’”

Is Tiffany Throwing Shade at Common?

She also told People that she’s been contemplating Common’s “dating history,” and Tiffany alleges that Common follows a dating “cycle,” whether or not he’s aware that this pattern exists.

Tiffany claims Common’s pattern seems to run “every two years.” She said he stays single for “six to nine months” and then gets into a new relationship that lasts “two years.” Tiffany claims that’s his “schedule,” and in her opinion, Common has continually followed this pattern throughout his romantic life.

If Tiffany still sounds angry or hurt about her breakup with Common, she claims she “ain’t mad” at her ex or his love life. 

She told People that she believes there’s a “gang” of old men in the world who aren’t “famous” but are “doing the same thing” as Common.

Tiffany also spoke out about allegations made against her. She said that “everybody” thought she “wanted to marry [Common] so bad,” but Tiffany told People that wasn’t the real truth.

She referred to another People.com article published when she was still dating Common. In that report, Tiffany claimed she would prefer it if Common bought her an “apartment” instead of an engagement ring.

Tiffany explained in her recent People interview that the “deed” to an apartment “is more powerful than a marriage license,” and she also thinks it’s “easier to get out of.” Tiffany even said, “There’s some return on that investment” with real estate instead of a piece of jewelry.

Tiffany’s Multiple Dating Partners

People reported that Tiffany “has a new lease on love these days” at the age of 44. She said she’s “dating multiple guys” and claimed they “all know about each other.”

But Tiffany also dropped a bombshell that sounds crazy, considering her dating life seems pretty active. She told People that she hasn’t gotten intimate with anyone “since October,” and Tiffany claims that a celibate lifestyle is really working out for her!

She thinks that being celibate makes “men love you even more.” She added that the guys she’s seeing “work even harder,” and they’ve taken her on trips to prove their affection.

Tiffany claims that the guys are “in love” with her, and allegedly, they’ve told her, “I’ve never been in a relationship like this. It’s amazing!” She also joked that she tells them, “[We’re] in a relationship? I thought you were just taking me to eat.”

After her shocking split with Common, Tiffany claims she knows what she wants. She was also married once before, and while Tiffany knows she wants a “partner,” she doesn’t think she wants another “marriage contract.”

Tiffany told People, “I want the party and the relationship. I do not want a license.”

Justin Bieber’s Cry For Help

Photo credit: Justin Bieber/Instagram

In Touch reported on April 29th that Justin Bieber recently posted selfies to his fans and followers on social media—but is Justin sending out a cry for help?

Two of his selfies showed Justin crying, and shockingly, his wife, Hailey, responded by commenting that Justin was “a pretty crier.” Is that really what Justin needs to hear right now? Is he doing okay? Should we be concerned?

Why Justin Bieber Was Crying in Social Media Images

According to In Touch, Justin wanted to give people “a look inside the highs and lows of his life” with the “new series of photos” he posted to his Instagram on April 28th.

Justin shared a “carousel of images” that included him on stage and “vulnerable photos of him crying.” Justin is now 30 years old, and In Touch claimed that he was letting “the photos do the talking” without adding captions for “extra context” about what he meant or how he was really feeling inside.

While Justin didn’t explain the meaning behind his crying selfie, that didn’t stop Hailey from adding her opinion. She commented that her husband is a “pretty crier,” along with a crying emoji. 

Fans responded to the crying selfie by filling Justin’s Instagram with “concerned messages.” In Touch reported that many commenters wanted to know why Justin was crying, and others wanted to let Justin know that “they hoped he was OK.”

Some people shared their prayers for Justin, while one person hinted that maybe we didn’t need to be too worried. This user pointed out that his own wife, Hailey, didn’t seem too stressed by writing, “Everybody worries because he is crying and his girl commented, ‘a pretty crier.’”

Justin Appears on Hailey’s Instagram

After the crying selfies Justin posted raised a lot of concern online, Hailey took it one step further to reassure fans that her husband was doing okay. A couple of days later, she took to her Instagram Stories and posted a picture of Justin.

The Instagram Story was screenshotted and shared by The Hindustan Times. In the photo, it looked like Justin and Hailey went out swimming. Justin didn’t seem to be crying or in a bad mood, which eased some people’s worries about his mental health. But what about his physical health?

Justin’s Coachella Appearance 

Despite Hailey’s social media reassurance, not everyone was convinced that Justin was completely fine. Reportedly, he has been experiencing health problems lately, and fans were both surprised and concerned when he suddenly appeared at Coachella on April 14th.

Justin did an unscheduled performance with Tems, and he thrilled the audience. However, an inside source set the record straight with In Touch, and the outlet claimed that it “sparked fears” about Justin’s continued health and well-being.

The source claimed that Justin still looked “fragile,” and shockingly, they alleged that he seemed to be “checked out all weekend.” The source added that Justin “finally got his health back,” but allegedly, inside sources close to Justin are now “worried” that he may be “spiraling again.”

Another In Touch report published on April 24th claimed that Justin acted strangely at Coachella. He appeared to be concealing his “thin frame” in “oversized cargo pants” and a “baseball cap pulled down low.”

A witness told In Touch that Justin “looked like he just stepped out of the audience,” but they thought it was a “good sign” that Justin “felt comfortable enough to get on stage.” Justin had to cancel his Justice tour in June 2022 after he was diagnosed with a viral infection that caused “partial face paralysis.”

Justin Bieber’s Health Problems

The condition Justin was diagnosed with in 2022 was Ramsay Hunt syndrome (RHS), and it made his right side of the face paralyzed. However, there is more to Justin’s health issues than this.

In January 2020, Justin came out and told everyone that he had Lyme disease. The BBC reported on an Instagram post she shared at the time. In it, Justin said that he’d had “a rough couple [of] years.”

He continued to say that he’d received comments from people saying that he looked like he was on substance. However, this was not the case. Justin informed people that the change in his looks had to do with Lyme disease.

He said that he was also diagnosed with a serious case of chronic mononucleosis, which negatively impacted many different aspects of his life, including his “skin, brain function, energy, and overall health.”

Justin then reassured everyone that he was getting the right treatment. However, despite his best efforts to get healthy, many are still worried about him.

Is Justin Struggling with Addiction?

It isn’t just Justin’s physical health that has fans worried. Due to the crying selfies he recently posted, many have been wondering about the state of his mental health.

Justin has previously been open about many of his struggles, including his battle with addiction. He struggled with substance use, as well as drinking too many adult beverages.

In 2014, Justin even got in trouble with the law because of his addiction problems. CNN Entertainment reported on what happened back then. Justin was arrested by the police in Miami in January of that year. He was accused of driving inebriated, as well as resisting arrest and driving without a valid license.

Justin was only 19 years old at the time. He was later released on a $2,500 bond, according to CNN. But his struggles with substances weren’t over.

On February 3rd, 2020, Justin released a 14-minute video on YouTube titled The Dark Season – Justin Bieber: Seasons. In it, he opened up a little more about his relationship with substances. He explained how at first, he was mostly consuming some lighter stuff, but eventually, he spiraled out of control.

He decided to get sober once he realized that he felt like he was losing his life. Justin said that things got very serious and scary. He said that his security team would have to come into his room at night to check in on him. They needed to make sure that he still had a pulse. 

On top of his addiction issues, Justin also struggled with other things, such as being in the limelight, depression, anxiety, and ADHD.

Trouble in Paradise for Justin and Hailey’s Marriage

While some people love Hailey and Justin together, others are not convinced about the strength of their relationship. Their marriage has always been under public scrutiny, and recently, someone close to the couple made it seem like there might be trouble in paradise.

Hailey’s dad, Stephen Baldwin, posted a shocking Instagram Story in February that got everyone wondering if Justin and Hailey’s marriage was going through a rough patch. 

While rumors about “troubles” in Justin and Hailey’s marriage have always been on the back burner, Stephen’s message only seems to have made it worse.

He wrote that people who “think of Justin & Hailey” should “take a moment to offer a little prayer for them to have wisdom, protection, and to draw close to the Lord.” Then Stephen dropped the bombshell that “folks in high visibility positions” often face “special challenges.”

Many people took Stephen’s message to mean that Hailey and Justin were having marital problems. Why else would he want people to pray for the couple?

In Touch also reported that many people on sites like TikTok began throwing shade at Justin and Hailey and posting blind items that they were on the verge of a breakup. 

Why Hailey Clapped Back to Online Rumors

27-year-old Hailey was forced to respond to the online rumors, and In Touch wrote that she “clapped back” on March 5th. 

Hailey wrote an “FYI” to her fans and followers that the stories and “constant ‘blind items’” she was seeing on TikTok were incorrect “100% of the time.” 

Hailey added that the rumors were “made out of thin air” and “come from the land of delusion.” She threw shade back at the haters, saying, “I know it may be fun feeding into these stories,” but she claimed, “they’re always false… sorry to spoil it.”

But shockingly, In Touch alleged that they’d received an “exclusive” from an inside source that Justin and Hailey’s relationship “isn’t in the best place right now.” 

Still, the source claimed that the thought of splitting up with Justin isn’t on Hailey’s “radar.” The source added that her marriage is Hailey’s “priority,” and her focus is also on “keeping [Justin] healthy.”

According to the source, Justin’s surprise appearance at Coachella was a “huge accomplishment” in his career after a long time away from touring. The source added that “everyone is rooting for Justin,” but shockingly, they also repeated that he’s still “very fragile.”

Are Hailey and Justin Actually Happy Together?

Another source spoke to People magazine in April of this year. This source seemingly contradicted the information In Touch got from their insider. According to People’s source, Hailey and Justin were very happy together.

The source claimed: “There’s no divorce and no truth to that whatsoever.”

This was more in line with what Hailey had to say about the rumors and blind items claiming that their relationship was in trouble.

Hailey and Justin Are Expecting a Baby

Despite all the rumors, it seems that Justin and Hailey may actually be doing better than ever. On May 9th, 2024, Hailey shared some big news with her Instagram followers. It turns out that she’s pregnant with her and Justin’s first baby.

Hailey chose to share this news through a video from her and Justin’s vow renewal. The two of them renewed their vows recently when they traveled to Hawaii together.

Hailey also posted several photos from the day, in which she showed off her baby bump. In one of the photos, Justin could be seen standing behind Hailey. He was touching her tummy in an affectionate way. 

In another photo, Justin and Hailey shared a lovely kiss. There were also two more photos, which showed Justin taking photos of Hailey, who was posing in a white dress and showing off her baby bump yet again.

It seems that Hailey is pretty far along with the pregnancy. Her representative spoke to PEOPLE, and they were able to confirm that she is over six months pregnant at this stage. So, she and Justin will be welcoming their new baby pretty soon.

Why Justin and Hailey Are Having a Baby Now

Justin and Hailey have been married for almost 6 years at this point. They tied the knot in September 2018. For a long time, fans questioned whether or not the couple would have any children together. Now, we finally have the answer. But why did they decide to expand their family now?

It seems that Hailey was finally ready for a pregnancy. In 2020, Justin spoke to Ellen Degeneres on her show, and he admitted that he was ready to start having children. However, the same thing could not be said for Hailey at the time.

Justin claimed that he was ready to expand their family, but Hailey wanted to wait a little longer. She had her own personal goals that she wanted to focus on first. She knew that if she had a baby, she would have to put them first, and it seems like she simply wasn’t ready to give up her freedom four years ago.

She does seem ready now, though. It will be interesting to see how many children she and Justin will have in the end. 

Justin told Ellen that this was up to Hailey, too. When asked how many children he wanted, he said: “I am going to have as many as Hailey is wishing to push out.”

Pregnancy Announcement Criticism

After Hailey shared the pregnancy announcement on her Instagram, many in the comments congratulated her and Justin. However, not everyone was so kind. Some people made it known that they still weren’t big fans of the two of them as a couple.

One person wrote: “He just got baby trapped by his stalker rebound.” 

But this wasn’t the only kind of criticism the couple faced. Justin shared a similar post on his Instagram, too. His post included even more photos. In one of them, Justin and Hailey could be seen hugging while Justin was cradling Hailey’s head. 

The photos were undoubtedly very sweet, but not everyone shared the couple’s excitement. Justin’s comments were flooded with people commenting “#blockout2024.”

This hashtag is a form of online boycott that started due to some celebrities not speaking out about the Israel-Gaza conflict. People in the comments criticized Justin’s silence on the matter and said that they would have to block him.

However, Justin’s post still received many supportive messages, too. One person wrote: “Congratulations and may God continue to bless you both!”

What Kind of Parents Will Justin and Hailey Be

Now that Justin and Hailey are expecting a baby, many are wondering what these two will be like as parents. Naturally, everyone is hoping for the best, but some people are a little skeptical, too.

The couple famously had a messy, tumultuous relationship for quite some time. They were on-again-off-again pretty often until they finally tied the knot in 2018.

However, even after the two of them got married, not everyone was convinced that they were going to last. Many questioned their relationship and if it was really stable enough to survive long-term. After all, Justin was only 24 years old when they got married, while Hailey was just 21. 

Despite everyone’s skepticism, the couple have continued to prove us wrong time and time again. They are still together to this day, and they just announced that they are starting a family together.

However, this doesn’t mean that they haven’t faced any problems over the last 6 years. The constant media scrutiny hasn’t been easy on the couple. They have been criticized for many different things over the years, and they’ve even faced rumors of infidelity. 

On top of this, they’ve had to deal with things like Hailey’s dad asking people to pray for them. But the couple never let these things get to them too much.

Hailey and Justin have made it clear that they value honest communication. They are willing to work on things and be patient with each other, which is one of the reasons why they’re still going strong.

It’s impossible to say what kind of parents these two will be. However, if they keep up their good communication, patience, and hard work, it’s easy to see how their family could blossom.

Justin’s Difficult Childhood

Another topic that has lately been on everyone’s lips is Justin’s own childhood. As a child star, he didn’t always have the easiest time of things, and this may be one of the reasons why he later struggled so much as a young adult.

One of the things that people have been talking about lately is Justin’s relationship with Diddy. Justin was still a young child when he met the famous rapper, and lately, people have started questioning their strange relationship.

This is mostly due to the fact that Diddy is in a lot of trouble these days. There have been a lot of extremely serious accusations coming out against him. It all started in November 2023, when Diddy’s ex, Cassie, filed a lawsuit against him.

In it, she alleged that she’d been a victim of Diddy. She claimed that she suffered SA by him, among other things. 

Cassie and Diddy were able to settle the lawsuit in just one day. However, this didn’t put an end to the drama surrounding Diddy. Soon, more people started coming out with their own stories about him. Now, Diddy is facing many serious allegations, including trafficking, SA, grooming, and more.

Things got particularly bad for Diddy when his houses were raided by Homeland Security on March 25, 2024. U.S. officials confirmed that the raids had to do with the trafficking allegations against Diddy. But what does this have to do with Justin?

Diddy and Justin’s Relationship

When Justin was younger, he used to spend a lot of time with Diddy. Scooter Braun and Usher first discovered Justin on YouTube when he was just a young boy. After that, Usher introduced Justin to Diddy, and that’s how the two of them got to know each other.

At the time, Justin was only 15 years old. However, Diddy is much older than him. He was already in his early 40s back then. This has led many people to question the nature of their relationship. Why was Diddy so interested in Justin? Why did he feel it was appropriate to build a friendship with the teenage boy?

Some of the things that happened between Justin and Diddy back then now seem shocking. For example, at one point, the two were supposed to spend 48 hours alone together. Justin was still a minor back then, and many have since wondered why he was allowed to spend time with this adult man without parental supervision.

Justin Attended One of Diddy’s Parties

In 2014, TMZ published a shocking report about one of Diddy’s infamous parties. They said that Justin was actually at this party, which was held in Atlanta. He was only 19 years old at the time.

This piece of news is especially concerning now, as many people have come forward to speak out about all the sinister things that would happen at Diddy’s parties. However, even back in 2014, many were concerned about Justin’s presence at the Atlanta party.

As he was only 19 years old, it seemed inappropriate that he was there. TMZ said that he didn’t actually consume any adult beverages or drink anything he wasn’t allowed to. Reportedly, he only drank water throughout the night.

However, despite these claims, not everyone believed that. 2014 was the same year that Justin got arrested in Miami for driving under the influence. How likely was it that he was able to say no to adult drinks just a couple of months later?

The TMZ report also mentioned that even if Justin wasn’t drinking, that didn’t mean that he was actually sober that night. The article implied that he might’ve tried something else – for example, a certain green substance.

Justin has since admitted to having issues with drinking in the past, as well as using said substance. So, it is entirely possible that something illegal happened that night when Justin was only 19.

Why Justin’s Mom Let Him Be Friends with Diddy

Justin’s mom’s name is Pattie Mallette. She reportedly raised Justin as a single mom. For a long time, the family struggled for money. Pattie mostly worked office jobs, and unfortunately, she didn’t earn a lot that way.

This changed after Justin was discovered on YouTube. Suddenly, Pattie’s son skyrocketed to fame, and with that came a completely new set of challenges. 

Lately, some people have questioned Pattie’s decision to let Justin spend time with the likes of Diddy. While, in hindsight, it seems that this may not have been a good idea, it’s possible that at the time, Pattie didn’t know any better.

In any case, it seems that Justin and Hailey don’t have any beef with Pattie as of right now. Just recently, Hailey took to her Instagram Story to say some nice words about Pattie.

PEOPLE Magazine captured the post in which Hailey called Pattie her “beautiful Mama in law.” This was around Pattie’s birthday, and Hailey wanted to celebrate her. 

She wrote: “Having another amazing Mom is all anyone could ask for.” 

Justin’s Mom Can’t Wait to Be a Grandma

After Justin and Hailey announced their pregnancy to the whole world, Pattie decided to share her own thoughts on the news, too. She took to her Instagram and posted a video of herself talking about her feelings and excitement.

In the caption, Pattie wrote: “BABY BIEBER IS ON THE WAY!! I’m gonna be a GRANDMA!!”

Then, she congratulated her son and his wife. Pattie added that her heart was full and that this was an exciting new adventure. 

She ended her caption by writing: “Love you so much!”

In the video, Pattie said that she’d been waiting for this day. She wanted to share her happiness with the world, and now that the news was out, she finally could. She exclaimed, “Oh my goodness!” as she talked about the fact that she was going to be a grandma.

Then, she talked directly to Justin and Hailey. She said that they were going to be the best parents ever and added that she was very excited. 

Two days after posting the video, Pattie made another post on her Instagram. This was for Mother’s Day, and it was dedicated to her own mom. Pattie shared 5 different photos of her mom and wrote a lovely caption in which she told her mom that she loved her.

It seems that there is a lot of love in Justin’s family, and it’s clear that everyone is excited about baby Bieber. The baby won’t just have a grandma, though. They will also have a great-grandma who, according to Pattie’s post, is a patient and resilient woman.

What’s Next for Justin and Hailey

If Hailey is six months pregnant, this means that we can expect baby Bieber to arrive sometime in the summer. In just about three months, we could see the first photo of their child. However, there is no guarantee that we will get to see the baby immediately after it’s born.

Justin and Hailey waited six months before they announced the pregnancy. It’s possible that they will want to wait some more after their child is born, too. They seem to value their privacy, so we may have to wait for things like gender and name reveal.

However, both Justin and Hailey do post on their social media fairly often. Justin usually posts on his Instagram at least once a month. Often, he picks a day or two in the month and shares several different posts at the same time.

The last time he did this was on April 28th, which was when he also shared his crying selfies.

Hailey is also active on her Instagram. She seems to post at least once a week. The last post she shared before the pregnancy announcement was a series of photos from the Rhode Skin Headquarters. 

Rhode Skin is Hailey’s skincare brand that she developed. In their Instagram bio, it says that they are vegan, cruelty-free, and dermatologist-developed.

In the photos that she shared from Rhode Skin HQ, Hailey could be seen posing with one of her products. She also posted a mirror selfie and a photo from what looked like the elevator.

Right now, Justin and Hailey seem to be thriving. Even though Justin’s crying selfies raised some concern among fans, it seems that the couple are doing well. They’re clearly excited about the new addition to their family.

Only time will tell if the two choose to share more about their life right now. They have never been too shy to speak up and talk about the things that matter to them. Just recently, Hailey shut down the many rumors going around about their marriage falling apart. So, if there are any more important or big developments, they’ll probably let us know sooner or later. For now, all we can do is just wait and see.

Congratulations Justin and Hailey on the pregnancy. Hopefully, everything goes smoothly and the baby is born strong and healthy.

The Downfall of Wynonna Judd

Photo credit: Redcowhills/Instagram

On April 24th, In Touch published an update on Wynonna Judd, claiming she’s in “turmoil.” 

If these allegations are the real truth, Wynonna is experiencing a monumental downfall, and it’s all because of personal tragedies and what In Touch calls her “financial woes.”

The In Touch “In Exclusive” claimed that sources close to Wynonna talked to them and nobody else.

Wynonna is ‘On the Brink of Emotional Collapse’ 

Sources alleged that Wynonna is “on the brink of emotional collapse,” and three different but equally troubling issues are ruining her mental health.

First was the passing of Wynonna’s mom, fellow country superstar Naomi Judd, in 2022. It’s common knowledge that Naomi passed away from a self-inflicted wound, but secretly, Naomi’s loss is still haunting Wynonna.

Wynonna has always had a twisted relationship with her daughter, Grace Pauline Kelley. On April 5th, Grace was arrested in Elmore County, Alabama, and charged with exposing her body to drivers at the intersection of Highway 14 and Interstate 65 in Millbrook.

Then there are what In Touch calls Wynonna’s “money fears.” Shockingly, a source told In Touch that Wynonna has “teetered on the edge of bankruptcy several times.” 

The insider also alleged that Wynonna “feels she has to stay on the road doing concerts” because she’s that broke, and that’s the only way she can “keep the wolves from the door.” 

It may sound like that insider was throwing shade, but they offered one heartbreaking piece of advice that Wynonna is probably not listening to. The insider claimed that Wynonna “should be taking a step back and sorting out her feelings” for her “mental well-being.”

Wynonna’s Daughter’s, Grace, Crimes 

Wynonna wasn’t happily married to Grace’s dad, Arch Kelly, and they divorced decades ago when Grace was still a toddler. Allegedly, Grace and Wynonna have always had a “terrible relationship,” and Grace frequently ran away from home, sometimes escaping to her Aunt Ashley’s house (Ashley Judd is Wynonna’s movie star sister).

RELATED: What Happened to Johnny Cash’s First Wife?

Elmore County sheriffs allege that 27-year-old Grace was “flashing drivers on an Alabama highway,” and shockingly, In Touch reported that Grace has “already served five prison stints” for possessing and distributing illegal substances, as well as violating probation.

RELATED: Ryan Edwards Receives Early Prison Release

In Touch reported that Grace is denying “the latest allegations,” and she’s insisting she wasn’t acting “indecently and was merely looking for a ride” when the sheriffs spotted her unclothed on the highway.

Why Wynonna is Preparing ‘To Raise Her Granddaughter Herself’ 

Although Grace is clearly struggling, Wynonna’s family burden is allegedly even heavier on her because Grace has a two-year-old daughter named Kaliyah Chanel. This little girl is Wynonna’s only grandchild, and sources told In Touch that Wynonna is also “tied up in knots” over what’s happening to Grace because of Kaliyah.

Wynonna is now 60 years old, and the source told In Touch that Wynonna is making preparations “to raise her granddaughter herself” if Grace is sentenced to another lengthy prison term.

This stress is allegedly making everything even worse for Wynonna. The source claimed that raising a toddler at Wynonna’s age is a “very daunting position, and it weighs heavily on her.”

Other sources, like OK Magazine, have reported “family secrets” and scandalous details about Naomi and Wynonna’s twisted relationship. They weren’t just a mother and daughter; they were a superstar duet in country music for decades.


When Naomi took her own life at age 76, it allegedly became clear that her relationship with Wynonna was as fractured as ever. In Touch even claimed that Naomi left a note behind that included a warning. 

Naomi Warned People That Wynonna Shouldn’t Attend Her Funeral

Shockingly, Naomi warned people that Wynonna should NOT be allowed to attend her funeral. Naomi also wrote that Wynonna is “mentally ill!”

Many people at the recent CMA Awards observed that Wynonna seemed “on the verge of collapse,” especially during her shaky performance with Jelly Roll at the televised awards ceremony.

Some people might not know that Wynonna “nearly fainted” during a concert in Ohio last year, but another In Touch source claimed to know the real truth. They said, “Despite all the turmoil in Wynonna’s life,” she has to work, and the reason why will shock you.

Wynonna ‘Even Went to Rehab for a Spending Addiction’

This source alleged that Wynonna “earned millions with The Judds and her solo career.” Still, they also claimed that Wynnona had blown through her fortune, and shockingly, Wynonna “even went to rehab for a spending addiction.”

Apparently, Wynonna’s only bright spot is her 11-year marriage to drummer Cactus Moser. But In Touch spoke to another alleged “pal” of Wynonna, who claimed that Wynonna “can lash out” at Cactus “when he’s doing his best” to help her. 

This “pal” added, “All you can do is pray for better days” for Wynonna “while fearing the worst.”

What Happened to Dog’s Son Leland

When Dog The Bounty Hunter reached the height of its popularity on reality television, one of the most popular cast members was Dog’s son, Leland Chapman.

But years later, Leland seems to have just disappeared.

What’s Leland Up to These Days?

Many Dog fans will remember that Leland and his brother, Duane Lee, quit the reality show in 2011.

And it all played out in an episode that aired in March the following year.

Leland’s Wikipedia page states that he’s lived and worked on the Big Island of Hawaii since 2021. 

On social media, he also mentions that he’s an entrepreneur.

Leland owned a bail bond company, Kama’aina Bail Bonds.

And he also operated Dog’s old business, Da Kine Bail Bonds, in Oahu, Hawaii. 

It appears that Leland and Dog have reconnected professionally and are personally as close as ever. 

The U.S. Sun did report that Leland moved to Alabama in 2015, and there’s proof that he did that for love.

Leland married his second wife, Jamie, in 2016, and she’s from Alabama. 

He has a daughter named Leiah and two sons named Cobie and Dakota, from previous relationships. 

Why Was Leland ‘Rushed to the Hospital’?

When Leland was back to bounty hunting with Dog on and off camera, multiple reports in the U.S. Sun revealed the truth about a serious, life-changing injury that he sustained during a manhunt in Colorado.

The Sun reported that Leland revealed everything in an interview with Entertainment Tonight

He got “rushed to the hospital” after a run-in with a suspect.

Leland suffered a torn knee ligament during the chase, and this serious injury has affected his life and health ever since.

He explained that the bounty hunters had learned the suspect’s whereabouts and quickly drove to the “manhunt location.” 

When Leland saw the suspect, he exited the vehicle and tried to “catch him.” 

Allegedly, the suspect didn’t stop when Leland called out to him, and Leland said that the suspect “slipped and fell” at one point. 

Dog yelled out, “Grab a car,” to keep chasing the suspect, and Leland said, “I jumped in the first vehicle I see.” 

Leland claimed that the other bounty hunters were “kinda close” to the suspect, and he figured that he could cut him off with his vehicle so that the suspect wouldn’t escape capture. 

Unfortunately, that isn’t how this situation played out. 

As Leland drove closer to the suspect, he claimed he made “eye contact” with the man. 

Leland said that the guy looked “tired.” 

He thought, “I can keep up with him!” 

But Leland was already injured at this point.

He told Entertainment Tonight that he jumped out of the car and was “hobbling along,” chasing the suspect when the guy ran through a gate and slammed it shut in Leland’s face.

Leland Said ‘… I Felt Like I Was Walking on Sand’ 

Operating on instinct, Leland said he tried to “kick” the gate open, but as he explained to ET, the gate “kind of flexed’ when he tried kicking it open, and then it severed off his Achilles tendon.

It sounded like Leland went into shock when he said, “I put my foot down, I kind of felt like it was asleep. I felt like I was walking on sand.” 

He didn’t know how badly injured he was, and he figured he could “still catch” the suspect.

He told ET that he “hobbled around” a shed and saw the suspect trying to climb a fence. 

Leland said he got “one shot” into the suspect with his taser, and the guy ended up “laying on the ground long enough for everybody to kind of catch up.”

Leland Clapped Back at Online Haters

Many have said that it was a pretty heroic thing for Leland to pull off, but that hasn’t stopped some online trolls from making fun of him for how he looks now after suffering this chronic injury.

The Sun reported that trolls have posted harsh comments about Leland’s “dad bod,” and he has had to “clap back” at the online haters. 

Several years ago, when Leland was 43, he explained on social media that he “can’t even walk” and that his injuries had taken a significant toll on his once muscular body.

On one occasion, Leland had to defend himself after posting a shirtless photo with Jamie during a July 4th celebration. 

One of his followers joked, “Where’s the six-pack?” while someone else commented, “You’re gaining weight.” 

Leland responded that it was “hard to work out when you can’t even walk.” 

He added, “I will be better… soon.”

Another sad side to this story is that Leland was hospitalized “just days” after his stepmother Beth lost her life to cancer.

Although the feud between Leland, Duane Lee, and Beth had initially made the brothers quit the reality show, inside sources claimed that Leland and Beth had mended their strained relationship before she passed away.

Leland and Jamie’s Strained Marriage 

Inside sources also claimed that Jamie and Leland’s marriage became strained several years ago, and they were allegedly on the verge of divorce. 

Fans noticed that Jamie posted messages on social media that hinted that she and Leland weren’t doing great, but if there was any truth to the rumors, they seemed to have made it through the rough patch.

The U.S. Sun reported that Jamie has worked as a 911 operator in emergency services. 

Although Jamie was secretive about her job when she and Leland lived on the mainland, her social media posts claimed her work involved meeting with county jail representatives and captains.

Leland and Jamie also love their tattoos, and the Sun reported that Jamie is a former “tattoo model.” 

Jamie’s Weight Loss Journey

Jamie has shared her weight loss journey on social media, and she was pretty honest with her followers when she revealed that “going to the gym after work feels like another meeting scheduled.” 

Still, Jamie kept on and refused to “cancel” her fitness goals, and she was happy to report to her fans and followers that she was seeing a “huge change” in how she looked and felt. 

Jamie wrote, “I have hustled to get here, and it feels good! Can’t wait to see what the results are for next month!”

With Leland and Jamie living back in Hawaii and running two bail bond operations in the state, Leland seems to have come a long way since his troubled childhood in Texas


Why Leland’s Mom Surrendered Him to Foster Care 

When Leland was an infant, Dog was arrested and sent to prison. 

After Dog’s conviction, Leland’s mom, La Fonda Sue Darnall, divorced Dog and married another guy. 

Leland grew up thinking his stepfather was his actual dad, and he misbehaved so much at home that his mom ended up surrendering him to foster care. 

Leland started on a better path when he was 17 years old. 

Doctors Told Leland He Would ‘Lose His Leg Completely’

He began training in Mixed Martial Arts and boxing. 

Inside sources claim that Leland could have made the pros as an MMA fighter or boxer, but then he suffered a knee injury in the ring, and a sports doctor told Leland that he would “lose his leg completely” if he didn’t give up his favorite sports.

These days, inside sources claim that Leland is worth at least two million dollars

He seems to be in a happy marriage with Jamie, and he’s re-established a great personal and working relationship with his dad, Dog the Bounty Hunter.

The Tragedy of Kris Kristofferson

Kris Kristofferson is a legend in music and movies—he wrote Me and Bobby McGee, among other unforgettable hits—so it’s insane to find out that his family once disowned him for the life he chose. A recent report in Whiskey Riff claims that Kris’s family told him, “You’re a disgrace to us,” because Kris decided to pursue a country music career.

The real truth is that Kris has accomplished a lot in his life. Before he hit it big in Nashville and Hollywood, Kris was a “Rhodes Scholar, three-sport letterman in college, Golden Gloves boxer, award-winning essayist, forest fighter, Army Ranger,” and a “helicopter pilot” in the U.S. military.

According to Kris, his parents disowned him when he walked away from a military career. Kris’s father, Lars Henry Kristofferson, had a distinguished military career as an Air Force pilot. By the time he retired, Lars was a major general after serving in both World War II and the Korean conflict.

Allegedly, Kris only entered the military after his impressive high school and college years because his dad told him to. His parents were furious when Kris decided to make a drastic life change.

Kris Excelled at Everything He Did

Kris was born in Brownsville, Texas, in 1936. His teenage life was exciting because his family moved to California. There, young Kris began writing articles and stories that received acclaim and publication.

After high school, Kris enrolled in Pomona College. He was a star athlete in football, track, and rugby. Kris graduated from Pomona with a summa cum laude.

Then, Kris reached higher and tried for a Rhodes Scholarship. He achieved that goal and attended the prestigious University of Oxford. While he was in England, Kris started playing rugby again and became a star in the boxing ring.

Kris graduated from Oxford in 1960 with a Philosophy of English Literature degree. His parents had to have been happy with that, but Lars still wanted Kris to enter the military. His parents also didn’t know that Kris had begun to write songs in his spare time.

The Army wasn’t Kris’s true passion, but as Whiskey Riff wrote, “Kris crushed in the service.” He climbed to the rank of Captain and was a Ranger and a daring helicopter pilot. 

Shockingly, Kris even got the opportunity to begin teaching at the iconic West Point School for military officers. His parents thought they knew what Kris should be doing, but fate had other plans for him.

Before returning to the States and teaching at West Point, Kris had to finish a military stint in West Germany. While in Europe, he started a band and played original songs he’d written. When Kris returned to America, he made a crazy decision.

Not only did Kris decline the teaching job at West Point, he ended his military career forever. Kris moved to Nashville to pursue country music, and his parents’ reaction was noteworthy for all the wrong reasons.

Kris Eventually Reconciled with His Mother

Whiskey Riff reported that Kris’s mom and dad would not speak to him “for decades.” If you think that Lars was the hardest one on him, you’ll be shocked to hear this.

According to Kris’s interview with Rolling Stone, his mom, Mary Ann, told him that he was “an embarrassment to the family.” This sounds crazy now, but Mary Ann allegedly told Kris that there were only “moments of pride” for her and Lars, like when Kris earned his Rhodes scholarship.

Even more heartless, Kris alleged that his mom told him his best accomplishments would “never measure up to the tremendous disappointment you’ve always been.” Unbelievable, right?

Kris eventually became a huge star in music and film, but he had lean years in Nashville, just like any country music superstar, including Garth Brooks in the 1980s. In 1999, Kris was interviewed by Salon, and he gave more shocking details about being “disowned” by his parents. Mary Ann even advised Kris not to “visit any of our relatives.” That’s when she dropped the bombshell that he was “a disgrace” to her and Lars.

Whiskey Riff confirmed that Kris’ mom didn’t speak to him “for over 20 years.” According to his Wikipedia page, sources were “unclear” if Kris ever reconciled with his dad before Lars passed away.

However, Mary Ann eventually came around. Kris told Salon, “Before she died, she was coming backstage and hugging Johnny Cash and things like that.” Kris seemed to have made peace with his mother’s heartlessness when he admitted, “She definitely got used to the fact that I was who I was.”

Halle Bailey and DDG Split

Halle Bailey and DDG have been surrounded by breakup rumors lately. This came just weeks after they went on their first family vacation with their baby boy. The couple’s relationship is allegedly over, or about to be.

In February 2023, Rubi Rose, DDG’s ex-girlfriend, posted screenshots on social media that revealed he recently slid into her DMs. According to HotNewHipHop, the private messages showed DDG asking Rubi what she was doing, and if she was still in Los Angeles.

At the time, Rubi tweeted that DDG was upset that she didn’t want to go home with him after they supposedly attended a party together. Despite the drama with his ex, DDG denied the allegations and was able to work things out with Halle.

The couple welcomed their son, Halo, late last year. It seemed like everything was fine until a few weeks ago. HotNewHipHop reported that DDG was recently interviewed by VladTV. In the interview, he exposed so many unexpected details about his past toxic behavior. 

During the last half of the interview, DDG confessed that he actually had messaged Rubi last year. He explained that he had sent the message to his ex while he and Halle were in an argument.

DDG added that Halle not only saw the message, but she also watched him send it to Rubi. However, he claimed that he had only DM’d his ex because he was mad at Halle. He admitted that what he did was petty, but he supposedly was never interested in actually reconnecting with his ex. 

The Couple Unfollowed Each Other on Social Media

If that wasn’t messy enough, later in the interview, DDG talked about how he had reportedly convinced Rubi to start selling her adult content online. He also said that every woman should sell adult content because, in his opinion, it’s an extremely smart business move. 

Only a few days after those problematic parts of the interview were uploaded to DJ Vlad’s YouTube channel, some of Halle’s Instagram followers noticed a very telling sign. One person posted a thread about it on Lipstick Alley, where they pointed out that Halle and DDG were no longer following each other on social media.

The author of the thread also revealed that Halle and DDG deleted almost every photo featuring each other from their Instagram profiles. A source claiming to be a friend of the couple told Media Takeout that they had supposedly broken up.

The insider explained that their relationship suffered when they went from going on carefree vacations to becoming new parents. The source said that while the change had “taken a toll” on them both, DDG just “wasn’t ready for all the responsibility.”     

Halle was recently spotted at Coachella without DDG, which only added fuel to the breakup rumors. But according to TMZ, Halle’s reps have since released a statement claiming that the couple is still in a relationship.

However, there have been plenty of signs lately that point to trouble in paradise for Halle and DDG. His recent interview brought the couple’s personal matters to light. It also stirred up past drama regarding his private messages to Rubi. For now, we’ll just have to wait for Halle or DDG to speak out about the state of their relationship. 

What Happened to Sophia Grace and Rosie From the Ellen Show

Back in 2011, two young girls stole the hearts of Ellen DeGeneres’ viewers. 

Cousins Sophia Grace Brownlee and Rosie McClelland were on the show after going viral for a video they made.

The girls were only eight and five years old at the time.

Yet, they became an overnight success after they performed Nicki Minaj’s Superbass and uploaded it on social media.

Ellen saw the video and knew she had to get the girls on her show.

They made their appearance, and the audience fell in love.

This wouldn’t be the last time viewers saw Sophia and Rosie, either.

Tea Time With Sophia Grace and Rosie

Ellen gave them their own segment on her show called Tea Time With Sophia Grace & Rosie.

During the segment, the two girls would sit down with celebrities and interview them while having some tea.

They interviewed the likes of Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, and Miley Cyrus.

Their stardom didn’t end there, either.

Ellen even had them working red carpet events.

They’d show up in their tutus and ask passing celebrities questions.

Their fame even earned them a guest appearance on Nickelodeon’s Sam & Cat.

Music has also been a large part of their life.

They released a single together, which would eventually help one of them launch her solo career.

Where are Sophia Grace and Rosie Now?

While they shot to fame when they were younger, it’s been over a decade now since the cousins sat down on Ellen’s sofa.

The first big update the girls gave was back in 2020.

Rosie spoke with E! News after she released her hit song, Girls.

She was 14 at the time and said that she wasn’t really into dating or boys just yet.

Instead, she was just focusing on her friends, which is what her hit song was all about.

She also talked about her experience filming Sam & Cat, particularly how great it was to meet Ariana Grande.

She said that she always looked up to Ariana because she considered her a talented and dedicated artist.

She also remembered that Ariana was always so driven and passionate on set.

At that time, Rosie and Sophia still saw each other at family gatherings.

Sophia started her own clothing line and regularly gave her cousin new clothes to try.

While Sophia was focusing on fashion, Rosie was focusing on music.

She said that her music was growing up right alongside her.

Now, fans have a new update with Sophia and Rosie.

Motherhood for Sophia 

On Sophia’s Instagram, she revealed that she was a mother.

She posted a picture of herself with her cousin, Rosie, holding her new son, River.

She captioned the post simply as “Family.”

Sophia moved to the United Kingdom at some point since she had taken the photo at her UK home.

She shares her son with her boyfriend.

Rosie was there to see the newest member of the family.

Her music career has continued to grow over the years, with more and more fans discovering her.

Even their old friend, Ellen, chimed in to pay her respects to Sophia’s new baby.

She wrote in the comments, “Nicki Minaj the 3rd!”

The future seems to be bright for the two former child celebrities.

What Happened to Aoki Lee Simmons

Aoki Lee Simmons is just 21 years old. She’s often praised for everything that she’s already accomplished in her life.

She graduated from Harvard University in May 2023 with a degree in classics and government. She was just 20 years old at the time.

Her mother, Kimora Lee Simmons,  is a model turned entrepreneur, and Aoki is following in her footsteps. People Magazine described her as an up-and-coming model, who has already worked for huge fashion brands like Tommy Hilfiger, Dolce & Gabbana, Michael Kors, Kate Spade, and Lacoste.

Despite her many accomplishments, it’s her personal life that’s been getting her a lot of media attention recently. According to Page Six, Aoki’s latest romance caused a lot of online controversy, and even her mother was concerned. 

The news outlet was the first to report that she was seen kissing 65-year-old restaurateur Vittorio Assaf while on vacation in St.Barts in early Apri. There were photos of the pair swimming in the water and lying on the beach together. But when Aoki posted some pictures of the island on her Instagram, she didn’t include any photos of Vittorio. 

Page Six also reported that when Aoki went on Instagram Live, she allegedly kept referring to the person she was with as her boyfriend. In a video showing her followers the property she was staying at, she even claimed he was the second boyfriend she’d ever had.

During her video tour, she reportedly commented on Vittorio’s shoes on the floor, pointing out how big they were. She said that it was something that made her happy and revealed that the owner of the shoes was 6-foot-4.

Kimora Was Concerned After Seeing the Photos

An insider told People Magazine that Aoki and Vittorio were spending time together and enjoying each others’ company. They also claimed that the duo met there in St. Barts. The outlet spoke to another source who claimed Aoki was learning to navigate her private life in the public sphere.

However, Kimora was reportedly concerned about seeing her daughter in that kind of relationship after her own experiences. One of Page Six’s sources claimed that Kimora was angry that her daughter was allegedly dating the founder of Serafina restaurants. 

RELATED: What Happened With Diddy and Kimora Lee

Buzzfeed reported that Kimora appeared to respond to the news with an Instagram post that she shared after the beach photos came out. The post was a video of a mother panda trying to control her baby cub as it ran around her. Kimora captioned it with: “On my last nerve right now!”

Aoki’s father Russell Simmons reportedly had a different take on the alleged romance between his daughter and the Italian businessman. 

He shared with TMZ  that Aoki had warned him that the beach photos would be in the news. He explained that he was not going to kick and scream about her choices. All he could do was offer his advice and unconditional love.

Aoki Claims She Was Never With Him

Just 4 days after the news about Vitorrio and Aoki’s relationship came out, People released an article with a very different headline. According to a source close to the Simmons family, the pair weren’t really seeing each other. They said that not only was it over, it was never a thing. 

Page Six also reported that the two weren’t an item. They revealed that one of their sources had spoken with Aoki, and she claimed that she was never with him. 

The source also commented on how bizarre they found Aoki’s Instagram Live from her last day in St. Barts.

According to The Cut, the video was of her pointing out her favorite shops while passing them in a car. She was talking to an off-camera man whom she called baby and referred to as her boyfriend.

The Page Six insider claimed that the way Aoki was behaving was absurd because she wasn’t even like that. She didn’t care about jewelry. She didn’t have Hermes.

Aoki reportedly didn’t care about expensive things like that – she was more of a geek. Aoki’s personal life also became public news last year when she had an online feud with her dad. 

Aoki Honored Her Mom on Father’s Day

US Weekly reported that on Father’s Day in 2023, Aoki reportedly snubbed Russell when she shared a photo of herself with her mom and wrote a tribute to her instead of him. Russell took to his Instagram and shared a message that was allegedly directed at Kimora which read: “Stop telling fathers they should have fought harder to see their children and start asking mothers why he had to fight at all.”

The next day, Aoki responded by sharing a video about her father, where she called him out for his flaws. In the since-deleted video, she said that her father was not well. He needed help and wouldn’t accept that, and he refused to acknowledge that he was not himself.

According to US Weekly, her mom also joined in the social media fight when she shared an Instagram story telling Russell to leave her kids alone. She allegedly referenced his SA allegations too when she claimed that his online comment was an example of how he maneuvered with the world and women all around him. She added that his threats, lies, intimidation maneuvers, and tactics were sad.

Russell eventually returned to Instagram to post an apology message to Aoki and her sister, too. He said that he was deeply sorry for being frustrated and yelling, but that there were no conditions – he loved them more than he loved himself.

In an interview with Teen Vogue in September 2023, Aoki said that she didn’t regret sharing the video about her father and that it felt good to have her say. She also claimed that despite everything, they were a normal family who were going through normal family struggles. 

Who Is Valerie Bertinelli’s Boyfriend

Did Valerie Bertinelli just get remarried for the third time? The answer is no, but Valerie just went public with her new boyfriend. It seems as if no one is more shocked about falling in love again than Valerie is!

Valerie’s new boyfriend seems equally shocked. He’s written a revealing essay about their unexpected love story like he couldn’t believe it either.

Page Six updated a report about him on April 18th. His name is Mike Goodnough, and the article claimed that Mike is gushing over his “good” relationship with Valerie and saying, “I’m so glad we’re together.” Mike is allegedly a photographer and describes himself as an “East Coast Writer” on his Substack page called “Hoarse Whisperings.”

Last week, Mike published a deeply personal essay on Substack with the teaser title, “Rumors, Rumors, Rumors.” It took several long paragraphs to make his reveal. Mike began by admitting, “I think I’ve slept in my own bed a grand total of four nights.” 

He called the previous month a “wild pendulum” swinging between “terrible and terrific.” Then, Mike finally began to drop the bombshell when he said he had “a few quick items to cover.”

Mike wrote, “There is apparently a rumor circulating alleging that Valerie Bertinelli and I are romantically involved somehow… that we are dating or are a couple even.” Before he came right out with it, Mike did “gush” about Valerie’s starring roles on “One Day at a Time” and the hilarious “Hot in Cleveland” with the late, great Betty White.

Valerie Said They Met on Instagram

He mentioned that Valerie has won two Emmys and two Golden Glove Awards and previously hosted a popular cooking show for fourteen seasons. Additionally, Valerie has written six books, one of which was a #1 New York Times bestseller.

After rhyming off Valerie’s impressive accomplishments, Mike finally confessed he was her boyfriend. Mike called it “surreal” but said, “It’s true,” and “It just seems good… lucky… a gift.”

Obviously, all of Valerie’s fans and followers are wondering where she met this guy. Mike mentioned another “rumor” about them running into each other by chance at a “Panera Bread in New Jersey.”

RELATED: The Moment Nicole Kidman Fell in Love with Keith Urban

According to Page Six, Mike “promised” to reveal his meet-cute with Valerie “on his Substack page next week.” However, Mike might be a few steps behind his new lady because another Page Six report claims Valerie has already admitted they “met on Instagram.”

If this sounds crazy good, Mike agrees with you. He wrote on Substack, “Life is crazy, kids.” He added, “It’ll rain hellfire down on you for years,” but then, “It’ll open the skies to deep blue and love and calling someone ‘Honey’ because you just love the absolute hell out of her.”

According to Mike’s Substack essay, “celebrity gossip outlets including Closer, Radar Online, and apparently the National Enquirer, all ran stories” on April 16th, calling him Valerie’s “mysterious new love interest.” The real truth is that Mike was revealed as Valerie’s “mystery boyfriend” a lot earlier in the month. 

Valerie Hid Her Boyfriend in Plain Sight

On April 3rd, paparazzi photos showed Valerie and Mike leaving a New York City studio after her appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show.” Valerie shared the photo on social media with a cheeky caption that she and Mike were “hiding in plain sight.”

Mike also mentioned his “girlfriend” in a Substack essay he posted six days later. He wrote, “On stage right in front of me, my girlfriend was funny and warm and affable.” He sounded proud of Valerie when he added, “She had the crowd leaning in and laughing aloud.”

People.com reported that Valerie celebrated her 64th birthday on April 23rd. Of course, Mike wanted to make it memorable, and People confirmed that he honored his lady love with a “cheeky photo” and “special backstory” on social media.

RELATED: Ryan Seacrest Break Up

The photo was a shot of Valerie on the red carpet at the 2024 Oscars. She looked adorable, her tongue sticking out in jest, and Mike added “Happy Birthday” in a “bold font.”

As it turns out, that photo was another earlier clue that Valerie and Mike were dating. She posted it on March 12th and claimed, “I [expletive] love my life right now. Not something I ever thought I’d say two years ago.”

Valerie recently confessed to People.com that she’s in love. She further explained, “It’s a seesaw of emotions” because she was firmly convinced that she would never fall in love again.

On social media, Valerie thanked her fans and followers “for staying on this ride with me.” It does sound like Valerie and Mike have been on a wild ride, and we all hope it never ends for this cute pair!
