Jason Aldean Family Update

Jason Aldean allegedly had a falling out with the two daughters he shares with his ex-wife, Jessica. Is the family feud over, or is the drama just getting worse?

Someone on a subreddit posted a link to Bravos and Cocktails when the feud rumors were just starting to cook. The link showed a gossip tip email with the subject line “Country stepmom.” This gossip tip alleged that “the daughter of a well-known Country star no longer follows her stepmom on social media,” and shockingly, “Within the last year, the stepmom has taken favor to the second daughter.”

The tipster also claimed, “Rumor has it stepmom doesn’t want dad to pay for college tuition even though they jet set across the world and continue to buy and build multi-million dollar homes,” and, “the oldest also realized how toxic” this stepmother allegedly is. One commenter was sure the gossip tip was “definitely the Aldeans!” They had seen a post from Brittany in June 2022 with a family picture, and Brittany wrote that it should be their “Christmas card,” which was a total shock because his oldest daughter, Keeley Williams, wasn’t in that photo. 

The Celeb Wives of Nashville subreddit also took the Jason family feud rumor and ran with it. A question popped up under the “Brittany and the Beast” thread on the Celeb Wives forum. It was called “Jason Aldean daughters,” and the OP asked, “What happened???” because they’d noticed that “Britt and Jason” never posted about his daughters anymore, and “BA doesn’t follow her.”

Jason Allegedly Refused to Pay For Keeley’s Tuition

Two commenters immediately replied that “someone” on the forum who “knows the family” had already confirmed what was happening. The first person wrote that a fight broke out between Jason, Brittany, and Keeley, and allegedly, Keeley had “asked not to be part of their social media” posts going forward. The next person commented that the fight happened because Jason “refused to pay for [Keeley’s] college tuition and would only commit to half,” and that allegation really got the Celeb Wives fired up.

One person said it would be “awful” if it were true and that Keeley’s “entire college tuition would be a drop in the bucket” for Jason. While another commenter wrote, “Shame he can pay for his mistress/wife’s fillers and cosmetic work but not his daughter’s education.” 

But it got worse. Another commenter called it “really disgusting if true” because the timing of this alleged feud between Jason and Keeley would have happened “right around the time that [Jason and Brittany] purchased their new house in Florida.”

The feud rumor also appeared on the Keeping Up With The Aldeans subreddit. One commenter thought Keeley was just distancing herself from her dad and stepmother, and “she doesn’t seem to have much to do with them anymore.”

Another commenter claimed that a “friend” of Keeley’s had spilled the tea on the subreddit. They wrote, “Just validating the tuition discussion,” and Jason’s “refusal to pay for the whole thing.” According to Keeley’s “friend,” Jason’s ex-wife, Jessica, had to “pay half,” and the commenter accused Brittany of making sure “the girls get the least amount of money” possible.

Jason and Keeley Appeared on Good Terms in May 2021

The U.S. Sun published an article last July, “Who is Jason Aldean’s daughter, Keeley Williams?” They had tea to spill.

Keeley’s birthdate is listed as February 14, 2003. She played volleyball at Summit High School in Spring Hill, Tennessee, before she graduated in May 2021. 

Remember this timeline: According to the Sun, Jason had “congratulated Keely” on Instagram following her graduation on May 22, 2021. He uploaded a photo of his eldest daughter and wrote, “Hard to believe this kid graduated from high school tonight.”

Jason added that he was “really excited” to see where Keeley’s life takes her. He wrote that her future is what she makes it, and Jason claimed, “We love you!”

The Sun reported that Keeley is now a “student” at Middle Tennessee State University. So, does Keeley have to “make it” at college without her dad helping her pay the bill?

A Redditor started a ‘Spill the Tea’ thread a few years ago with a helpful timeline of ‘Jason’s Girls.’ This timeline gets specific, and if it’s the real truth, you can connect the dots on where Jason’s fallout with Keeley started, and how Brittany and Keeley might have been feuding long before that.

Jason, Brittany, and Keeley: A Timeline

On Keeley’s 18th birthday in February 2021, Jason and Brittany posted loving comments and photos on social media about her. In March 2021, Keeley and her friends enjoyed spring break on the Caribbean island of St. Thomas with Jason and Brittany, and during Easter that year, Jason and Brittany posted family photos of everyone.

But in May, Brittany didn’t congratulate her stepdaughter on her high school graduation, and in July 2021, Keeley posted a very eye-opening “divorce trauma” video on TikTok. In September of that year, Keeley posted a TikTok video celebrating her mom, Jessica, while Brittany and Jason posted messages in October and November about taking his second daughter, Kendyl, to meet Lauren Alaina and to the MLB World Series.

By December 2021, Brittany posted a video for her son Memphis’s birthday. Keeley was not in that video. When Keely posted a Christmas video on TikTok that year, she was spending the holiday with her mom and their family.

As Keeley’s 19th birthday rolled around in February 2022, only one person close to Jason celebrated her on social media. Her name is Tita, although Jason also calls her “Abuela” on Facebook and refers to Tita as his “bonus mom.” Tita did the right thing — she posted a photo for Keeley’s birthday and wrote, “Love and miss you.”

Many Supsect That Kendyl Will Side With Keeley When She’s Older

The Sun reported that Keeley has thousands of followers on her private Instagram account. Her TikTok account has over 27,000 followers, and Keeley has racked up more than one million likes on her TikTok videos.

Kendyl was born on August 20, 2007. After Jason married Brittany in March 2015, Brittany had her son, Memphis, in December 2017 and her daughter, Navy, in February 2019. Now the question is… has Kendyl sided with Keeley, or does she still have a close relationship with her dad and stepmom?

A Redditor claimed there had been “a little Kendyl sighting tonight” a couple of years ago when Brittany posted a blurred shot of Kendyl in front of a Christmas tree. But the commenters on the subreddit weren’t having it.

One person wrote, in part, that “Kendyl is still underage,” and she has to visit Jason because he has joint custody until she turns 18. Their theory was that once Kendyl reaches adulthood, the visits with Jason and Brittany “might abruptly end just like they did with Keeley.” 

Although Brittany and Jason haven’t acknowledged Keeley’s birthday in recent years, Country Now reported that the Aldeans pulled out all the stops for Kendyl’s last birthday in 2023, calling it an “exquisite sweet 16 celebration.” Of course, Brittany “recapped the party in an Instagram reel,” and Kendyl’s sweet 16 included a “braid bar,” a “permanent jewelry bar,” a customized photo booth and illustrations, and a personal chef.

Thankfully, Keeley and Kendyl appear to have a close bond, which shows on Keeley’s TikTok. In one sweet video containing a slide show of photos, Keely’s caption said, “POV: you watched your little sister grow up & now she’s the most beautiful person and my best friend.”

Jeannie Mai Update After Jeezy Divorce

Jeannie Mai has been dealing with so much heartbreak and legal drama ever since Jeezy blindsided her with their divorce six months ago. 

The battle over their split has taken so many unexpected turns in court.

And recently, it’s been getting messier than ever.

So what’s really been going on with Jeannie since her marriage to Jeezy came to an end? 

Jeannie and Jeezy’s Marriage Listed as ‘Irretrievably Broken’

The latest details of their divorce proceedings are honestly insane, so let’s break them down. 

In September 2023, People magazine revealed that Jay “Jeezy” Jenkins had filed for divorce from Jeannie. 

The legal documents stated that there was no hope for the former couple to reconcile their marriage, which was listed as “irretrievably broken.”

For about a month after the divorce news broke, Jeannie stayed extremely quiet.

She didn’t even post on social media. 

Jeannie Said: ‘Sometimes, You Need to Take a Break and Disconnect to Heal’

But in the middle of October, she broke her silence when she shared a quote on her Instagram that read: “Sometimes, you need to take a break and disconnect to heal.”

At the time, Jeannie’s post about healing didn’t seem all that strange, considering breakups are almost always emotionally draining. 

But when she finally responded to Jeezy’s divorce petition, what she had to say was absolutely crazy. 

Jeannie Suspected Jeezy Cheated on Her During Their Marriage

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Jeannie filed paperwork on November 30th that strongly suggested Jeezy had cheated on her during their marriage.

In her filing, she asked the court to enforce the infidelity clause in their prenup, which stated there would be major financial consequences for either party that had been unfaithful.

A few days later, a rep for Jeezy released a statement to Us Weekly

The spokesperson claimed there was no truth to Jeannie’s cheating allegations and denied that Jeezy had ever been unfaithful during their marriage. 

It seemed like their divorce battle couldn’t get any more intense, but what happened just two days later was seriously shocking. 

E! News reported that Jeannie dropped a bombshell revelation when she made a guest appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show last December. 

Jeannie Found Out About Divorce ‘At the Same Time as the Rest of the World’

She explained that when Jeezy announced that their marriage was over and that he had filed for divorce, she was completely blindsided. 

Believe it or not, Jeannie found out about the divorce “at the same time as the rest of the world,” which left her feeling absolutely crushed. 

She added that even though she was still in the process of healing emotionally, she had discovered an unexpected silver lining. 

Jeannie confessed that she had met the strongest version of herself, as a result of coping with the pain of her divorce. 

She credited her strength to being a mother to “the best blessing,” Monaco, the daughter she and Jeezy welcomed in January 2022. 

Jezzy and Jeannie’s Parenting and Custody Legal Battle

However, Jeezy and Jeannie’s split also resulted in a legal battle over parenting time and custody. 

According to People magazine, Jeezy filed paperwork with the court that asked the judge to schedule a custody hearing. But his reason for the request was truly bizarre.

In Jeezy’s filing, he accused Jeannie of gatekeeping their daughter and his ability to have equal parenting time with her. 

He claimed that “the lack of consistency” with visitation and the tension from the divorce had been stressing Monaco out and making her feel confused. 

RELATED: Teyana Taylor Divorce Update

Jeezy also asked the court to set clear custody rights and a structured schedule for parenting time. 

But it wasn’t long before Jeannie fired back at his accusation with her own filing. 

What the legal documents obtained by Radar Online revealed about her response was honestly unbelievable. 

Jeannie denied Jeezy’s claim that she had been interfering with his parenting time. 

She explained that she had granted all of his requests to see Monaco and had even given him extra time with her over the holidays. 

But that wasn’t all.

Radar Online also reported that Jeannie asked the court to deny Jeezy’s request for a public custody hearing. 

Instead, she requested that the judge schedule mediation, so that she and Jeezy could negotiate the details regarding custody and visitation out of the public eye. 

Jeannie added that she wanted to keep the majority of the custody details private for Monaco’s well-being. 

But she and her lawyers also made a request in the filing that was centered around some alarming safety issues. 

Jeannie and her legal team asked Jeezy to “safely secure and lock away all firearms,” out of concern for their daughter’s safety. 

They also requested that any caregivers he hired to help with Monaco be “properly trained.” 

Jeezy and Jeannie’s Unreal and Insane Court Filings 

Not surprisingly, Jeezy responded with yet another court filing at the end of December, and the reason why was seriously insane. 

According to paperwork obtained by Radar Online, Jeezy asked the judge to enforce the prenup he and Jeannie signed the day before they got married in 2021. 

He claimed that she had agreed to all of the conditions, including those about the division of their finances and belongings. 

But what happened next was absolutely unreal.  

About a month later, an article published by Radar Online revealed that Jeannie filed court documents that asked the judge to either deny Jeezy’s request or delay enforcing their prenup. 

She explained that he had asked her to sign the agreement just days before their wedding, and she barely had time to look over the conditions.  

Jeannie claimed that the documents Jeezy showed her before they got married weren’t enough to actually prove the extent of his earnings. 

She doubted the accuracy of their prenup because of that and requested that the judge wait to make a decision until her lawyers could look further into his finances. 

Oddly enough, Jeezy’s next move was an attempt to keep his information private, especially regarding his finances. 

In February, Radar Online reported that he had asked the judge to seal the divorce records from the public, but mainly his personal details and any information related to Monaco. 

Jeezy Explained His Relationship With Jeannie was More Strained Than Ever

Jeezy explained that because of the divorce battle, his relationship with Jeannie was more strained than ever.

He believed that was partially due to the intense media focus on their court case, which was another reason why he wanted their divorce records to be kept private. 

Interestingly, Jeezy’s request was filed less than two weeks before he and Jeannie were scheduled to appear in court to discuss their prenup and custody details. 

She seemed to think that something about his filing was suspicious, and she made that clear in a pretty bizarre way.

According to paperwork obtained by Radar Online, Jeannie asked the judge to deny Jeezy’s request. 

She believed that the reasoning behind his attempt to have their divorce records sealed six months into their court case didn’t make any sense. 

In her filing, Jeannie added that because she and Jeezy are both public figures, he should have known that the media attention on their divorce would be significant. 

She said that his motion to keep their public records private was “unnecessary and unwarranted.” 

Jeannie also claimed that the timing of Jeezy’s request made her question his intentions. 

But that’s not the only thing that he’s done lately that’s seemed a little strange. 

Jeezy Asked the Judge to Disqualify Jeannie’s Lawyers, Then Withdrew Motion

Only a few days after the former couple’s initial court hearing on March 1st, Jeezy asked the judge to disqualify Jeannie’s lawyers. 

A separate report from Radar Online exposed why he had a problem with her legal team, and his reason was unbelievable.

 It turns out that Jeezy’s main complaint was that the attorneys Jeannie had hired to represent her in their divorce were the same lawyers she used to look over their prenup. 

Since her legal team agreed to the conditions before she signed it, he didn’t think they should be able to help her fight it. 

But what happened next was incredibly surprising. 

Just a couple of weeks ago, Jeezy withdrew his motion. 

He even admitted that Jeannie had chosen a great legal team to represent her. 

Whether or not his decision means the rest of their divorce hearings will go smoothly is up in the air, though, since the case is still ongoing.

Jeannie’s Life Now: Healed and Back to Regular Scheduled Programming

As for Jeannie’s personal life, she seems to be thriving right now. 

She regularly posts on social media about her TV co-hosting gigs and the work she does in the fashion industry. 

Her 45th birthday was in January, and what she shared on Instagram that day was truly amazing.

Jeannie wrote in the caption of her post that she was thankful for the lessons she had learned in the past year. 

She explained that she didn’t regret how deeply she had loved anyone, because those experiences taught her how to “love even better” than before. 

Jeannie revealed that she was grateful for her resilience as well, because it had helped her overcome so many obstacles. 

But aside from the progress she’s made in her healing journey, she also shares occasional updates with her followers about Monaco. 

Jeannie recently posted a tribute on Instagram for her daughter’s second birthday. 

She wrote in the caption that motherhood had taught her to appreciate the little things in life. 

She also credited Monaco with helping her face her fears and be more courageous every day. 

Even though Jeannie still isn’t done hashing out the divorce details in court with Jeezy, it sounds like she’s been doing surprisingly well lately. 

Obviously, the last six months have been full of legal drama, but her positive outlook hasn’t changed.

Only time will tell what happens next with Jeezy and Jeannie’s divorce battle, but I want to know what your thoughts are. 

What do you think about Jeannie’s claim that she found out about Jeezy filing for divorce at the same time as the rest of the world? 

Are you surprised by how intense their back-and-forth court filings have been so far? 

Let me know in the comments below.

Why the Duck Dynasty Family Disappeared

What happened to Duck Dynasty, and why did the Robertsons seem to disappear from TV over the last seven years? In August 2023, E! News reported that the Duck Dynasty family considered a return to the spotlight “on their own terms” after their reality show ended in April 2017.

E! News also spoke exclusively with Korie and Sadie Robertson. The mother and daughter made some shocking revelations about the family’s “emotional” comeback — although E! News joked that it was more of a “quackback” than a comeback.

Korie told Francesa Amiker of E! News that their reality show “was a whirlwind, and it was fun because we were getting to do it as a family,” but she admitted, “It did feel like it was time for us to pull everything back.” Sadie revealed that the whole Robertson family are “dreamers and doers.” She explained, “We like to do new things, and having the time of those years [away from the show] to do that was awesome.”

Since the OG Duck Dynasty ended, Sadie has done more “doing” than just “dreaming.” She wrote a bestseller, started her own podcast, and, most importantly, became a young mom of two beautiful baby girls with her husband, Christian.

Sadie will turn 27 years old in June 2024, and even though she’s really young to have accomplished everything she has to date, she believes that everyone in her family has “grown into who we are all as individuals.” She also claimed, “That might not have happened if we were still doing the same thing,” and by the “same thing,” she meant the reality show.

Sadie also mentioned, “We’ll see what the future holds.” For the Robertsons, their return to the spotlight was happening at the same time as their E! News interview.

The Blind Told the Story of the Robertsons

E! News teased the release of a Phil and Kay Robertson biopic called The Blind, which IMDB called the “true story” of the Robertson family. The Blind’s initial release date was September 28, 2023, and the Shreveport Times claimed it was a box office success after it made more than $17 million locally in four weeks.

Sadie and Korie gave E! News the inside scoop about how the Robertson family reacted to the shocking biopic behind closed doors. Sadie confessed that it was “really hard” to watch the film and realize the painful past that Phil and Kay went through together. But Sadie also claimed she was inspired by the message in The Blind and believed that “there’s no one” who is “without hope” in this life.

RELATED: Olivia Plath Speaks Out

For Korie, watching The Blind felt like “reliving Phil and Kay’s story.” She claimed that the family came together to handle the film in the same way they’ve faced everything, and E! News called it “a skill they honed during [Duck Dynasty’s] five-year run.” 

Korie revealed that the family always asks themselves, “Okay, what is most important,” and “Who do we care about?” She claimed that the Robertsons care most about the opinions of people who know them. She added, “It’s people that you sit across the table from whose opinion really matters,” and “We try to live our life that way.”

Sadie revealed that “good boundaries” had helped her gain “a fresh perspective” and stay “rooted in my people.” In the E! News interview, she explained that she’d stayed off social media for seven months in 2023 and admitted, “Sometimes you do have to step away, and it was so good.”

The Robertsons Are Starting a Production Company

The Blind shows the good and very bad parts of Phil’s life, beginning in Louisiana during the 1960s. Phil is portrayed as being a heavy drinker who is unfaithful to Kay before he does the hard emotional work and turns his life around. 

Sadie might not have gone through the emotional turmoil and substance issues that her grandpa did sixty years ago. However, her break from social media was still a “hard pill to swallow,” even though Sadie knew she needed some boundaries to save her mental health.

She alleges she experienced so much negativity on social media that Sadie finally had to tell herself, “I’m not just gonna keep getting beat up by this.” She decided to “take a minute” to “get stronger and come back with the right voices” guiding her from inside herself.

Meanwhile, Korie confessed something to E! News that Duck Dynasty fans have been waiting to hear! Before The Blind was released to theaters, the Robertsons announced they were starting a production company, and according to Korie, the Duck Dynasty gang may be returning to TV.

Korie explained that the world of “entertainment needs more positivity,” and the Robertsons are looking at projects “that are hopeful, that are light, and that point towards faith.” She claimed, “We want to do more of that,” and if that means “coming back to unscripted TV,” Korie admitted, “Maybe, we’ll see!”

Phil Had a Secret Daughter

Phil has appeared on someone’s social media quite a bit over the last several years and the reason is shocking. E! News reported that one of Phil’s affairs from “decades ago” had produced a child. He didn’t realize he had a secret adult daughter until 2020.

Phil allegedly did a DNA test, which showed he was a 99.9% match to be the father of Phyllis Thomas. After Phil discovered he was Phyllis’s dad, the Robertsons immediately accepted her into their tight-knit family. Phyllis began documenting their growing relationship on social media and confessed, “So thankful God brought us together after all these years.”

In January 2021, Phyllis posted an anniversary note on social media. She wrote, “This day one year ago marks the beginning of my life with my real dad after learning paternity tests came back positive.” While Phyllis revealed there had “been ups and downs” on “this crazy ride,” she still believed that “God works for the good of those who love Him,” and she said she was “so very thankful” that the day “ended on a positive note.”

In April 2021, Phil and “Miss Kay” invited Phyllis and her husband to Easter dinner at the Robertson house. The photos on social media showed that they also got to meet “Uncle” Si Robertson.

Phyllis Is Officially Part of the Family

Phyllis has revealed on Instagram that her dad was teaching her some special Duck Dynasty-type things. In May 2021, she posted a note and picture of Phil showing her “how to make mayhaw jelly.”

On Father’s Day that year, Phyllis wrote, “Dad taught me how to make crawfish au gratin.” She also confided that the meal was “delicious,” and Father’s Day was “memorable… the first one I’ve ever spent with him.” 

RELATED: Savannah Chrisley Boyfriend Update

When Christmas rolled around that year, Phyllis and her husband were once again special guests at the family’s holiday celebration. A picture of Phil, Miss Kay, and Phyllis’s half-brothers Al, Jace, Willie, and Jep was taken.

It sounds like Phil’s life is full of hope and positivity, which Korie says the Robertsons want to bring back to television. In April 2023, he wished fans and followers “a joyous Easter” on Instagram, and he said their family was celebrating “the miracle of the resurrection, our hope in Jesus, and the promise of what’s to come.”

For Duck Dynasty fans, hopefully, that promise includes more Robertson family projects on film and TV!

Why Didn’t Robyn’s Kids Go to Garrison’s Funeral

Photo credits: Robyn Brown/Instagram & Nevada National Guard/Facebook

The Nevada National Guard recently organized a memorial service for Garrison Brown.

Almost the entire Brown family attended the service.

They could all be seen in the photos shared on the Nevada National Guard’s Facebook page.

Garrison’s sister, Maddie, and Others, Were Absent From His Funeral

Based on the photos, Garrison’s sister Maddie wasn’t there.

She lives in North Carolina and has young kids, which may explain her absence.

But there were some other siblings missing from the photos.

Robyn’s children – Dayton, Aurora, Breanna, Solomon, and Ariella – were all nowhere to be seen.

This caused quite a stir online.

While many thought that Maddie had a good excuse for not being there, they also felt that the same could not be said for Robyn’s children.

Robyn and Kody, the kids’ parents, were both at the memorial service.

They even sat together in the front row.

But despite that, their children were seemingly not there.

TikTok User Shared Theory Why Robyn’s Kids Were Missing

TikTok user Kristy Ski shared her theory about why they were missing.

She claimed that the kids are kept under lock and key as much as possible.

They are seemingly only ever allowed out if Robyn and Kody are with them and if it’s in a controlled environment.

Something like a memorial service would not fit those criteria.

So, according to Kristy, it’s possible that the kids weren’t there because Kody and Robyn wouldn’t feel comfortable having them around the rest of the family.

Another theory that was shared on social media was that the older kids were left behind so that they could look after Solomon and Ariella.

Solomon is 12 years old, and Ariella is only 8.

Based on this theory, it’s possible that Dayton, Aurora, and Breanna stayed home to take care of them while Kody and Robyn went to the memorial service.

But there is another theory.

Some also believe that the kids might have been there.

This theory claims that the only thing we know for sure is that they weren’t in any of the photos.

But this doesn’t necessarily mean that they weren’t there.

It’s possible that they just weren’t photographed.

But all of these are just theories.

The reason for the kids’ absence has not yet been officially confirmed.

What Family Members Attended Garrison’s Memorial Service?

However, many of the other family members were able to attend the service.

They all appeared in the Facebook photos.

Garrison was a member of the Nevada National Guard, which is why they organized this memorial service for him.

Janelle and Kody both sat in the front row during the service.

But they didn’t sit next to each other.

Janelle sat next to her son Hunter.

Kody sat with Robyn a few chairs down.

Kody’s mom was also there.

As was Christine and her husband, David Woolley.

Meri was also sitting in the front row.

But she was in a different section of the audience.

She sat next to Kody and Christine’s daughter, Gwen.

Many of the attendees wore black.

But they also wore Hawaiian shirts and ties.

This was in honor of Garrison, who had his own clothing line, Bob’s Floral.

Soldiers Paid Respect to Staff Sgt. Robert Garrison Brown

The photos on Facebook also came with a lengthy caption, which said: “Soldiers from the 1st Squadron, 221st Cavalry, along with friends and family, gathered yesterday at the Clark County Armory to honor the memory of Staff Sgt. Robert Garrison Brown, who passed away on March 4th.”

The post then went on to talk more about Garrison and who he was as a person.

According to the post, he left behind his three cats, Catthew, Patches, and Ms. Buttons.

Other than his cats, Garrison also loved traveling, comedy, craftsmanship, and photography.

He had a great sense of humor and was always able to connect with others.

He was reportedly also pursuing a career in nursing.

The Nevada National Guard’s Facebook post ended with: “The entire Nevada National Guard community shares in the sorrow of losing Staff Sgt. Robert Garrison Brown. We recognize the profound impact of his absence on our fellow members and the 221st Cavalry family, who are deeply affected by the loss of their trusted companion.”

It’s clear that Garrison will be missed by those who knew him.

Why Lainey Wilson Keeps Her Boyfriend Hidden

Photo Credits: Lainey Wilson/Instagram

2023 was a big year for Lainey Wilson, and she enjoyed a lot of success in the public eye. But Lainey was also keeping something—or more like someone—hidden in plain sight. Why didn’t Lainey want anyone to know about her boyfriend, Duck Hodges, last year?

His real name is Devlin Hodges, and he was once an NFL quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers. But his nickname and football career weren’t why Lainey kept Duck a secret. According to a Whiskey Riff report from last June, Lainey revealed in an interview that she “made that boy wait.”

The interview was with Katie Neal for the Katie & Company podcast. Lainey did confess that she’d kept Duck private “for two and a half years now.”

But Katie couldn’t believe Lainey could keep her boyfriend hidden for that long. So Lainey had to set the record straight and tell the real truth.

Lainey told Katie, “I just kept it close to my chest.” That’s because, as Lainey said, “I share a lot of my life with the world.” Duck was “one thing that means a whole lot” to her. She wanted to keep it to herself for a while.

Lainey also admitted she wanted “to be very careful” with her relationship and bringing her love life to the spotlight. Her fans did get a clue, like when Katie began wearing Duck’s #6 Steelers jersey at a show in Pittsburgh last April.

She admitted to Katie, “I did feel like, okay, this is time to share with the world,” explaining that she wanted to let everyone know that Devlin was her “biggest cheerleader” and “biggest champion.” Lainey also called her boyfriend Duck “the person I get to go home to once or twice a year.”

Lainey and Duck Made Their Red Carpet Debut in 2023

In case you missed Lainey’s big chat with Katie, she also admitted that she was willing to talk about Duck, but “not too much.” So, is Lainey still with her boyfriend, and is she still keeping most of her private life private?

On January 3, 2024, People Magazine updated an article on “Who is Lainey Wilson’s Boyfriend?” They first published this article in May 2023, after Lainey and Devlin’s big reveal at the ACM awards. According to People, Lainey and Duck’s “red carpet debut” was one of the most “talked-about moments” of the night. 

Lainey also spoke to Bobby Bones about her boyfriend, and she confirmed that Duck is a “good dude” who’s “been around for a while.” His nickname has been around since Devlin played college football at Samford University in Alabama. Devlin got nicknamed Duck for two reasons.

Devlin’s college football coach gave him the same nickname as another favorite quarterback on the team, who was also called Duck. But Devlin is also an “avid duck hunter” and “champion duck caller,” which made his nickname even more appropriate.

In an exclusive interview with People, Lainey revealed that mutual friends in Nashville set her up with Duck. Their first date was at a “dance hall and saloon” called Silverados. It is famous for live music and other things patrons love to guzzle.

According to Lainey, the drinks were “free” from 5 to 10 pm at Silverados. She liked that Duck loved a good deal and could “ball on a budget too.” Lainey told People she had a gut feeling that it was “gonna work out” for her and Devlin. 

Lainey’s Friends Love Duck

Lainey still had to be sure that Devlin was “the one,” and the reason is that she’s become so famous. She told People about waiting for two years to see if Duck was “in it for the right reasons.” She admitted, “he is,” and that “it feels really good to talk about it.”

Still, Lainey made a shocking confession to People that Duck had stolen something from her! Lainey joked that Duck had slowly been “stealing all my buddies,” including Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen, Cole Swindell, and HARDY.

When they made their red carpet debut as a couple, Lainey said someone told her “how funny it was” when they saw Duck high-fiving all of her “artist friends at the ACMs.” Lainey corrected them and said, “Those are [Duck’s] friends!”

She confessed that she’s FaceTimed her boyfriend and found that he’s already on there with all her “buddies.” Lainey said, “They’ll always be out golfing and drinking a beer.”

All jokes aside, Lainey says it’s a “big blessing” that her famous friends like Duck. She told People, “I don’t have to convince anybody to like him. He’s a very lovable person.”

In the People interview, Lainey talked about her “healthy relationship” with her boyfriend, and shockingly, she said he’s also changed her music-making for the better. Lainey confessed that she was “never really able to write love songs” because, sadly, she didn’t know for sure if she’d “actually felt” true love. Since she met Duck and fell in love, Lainey confessed, “I’m writing me some love songs,” and she said she’s “grateful for him” for getting her there.

Lainey Has Repeatedly Thanked Duck in Her Speeches

In November 2023, Lainey had one of the best nights of her life—personally and professionally. She and Duck got decked out in all-black looks and cowboy hats for the CMA Awards, and Lainey won the night’s biggest award for entertainer of the year.

Lainey and Duck shared a tender kiss, and People reported that he beamed “with pride” as Lainey went on stage to accept the Entertainer of the Year statue for 2023. Lainey fought back tears, admitting that the award was all she “ever wanted.” She added, “It finally feels like country music is starting to love me back,” Lainey also said, “I love you, Duck.” 

Taste of Country reported that Lainey also gave a shout-out to Duck in February 2024. On Sunday, February 18th, Lainey took her boyfriend to the People’s Choice Awards, and she enjoyed another huge night. In addition to performing a medley of her biggest country hits to date, Lainey also took home the People’s Choice trophy for Female Country Artist.

Lainey Loves Her Life with Duck

Lainey has made it clear to the media and her fans that she’s a private person. She even joked to People that she looked “awkward” during her red carpet debut with Duck because PDA freaks her out. But Lainey got personal at the 2024 People’s Choice Awards, and it’s getting more obvious that she’s falling deeper in love with Devlin every day. 

Lainey got emotional when she accepted the trophy for Female Country Artist. She thanked her “mama,” “daddy,” her family, and her “hometown” and “team.” She also thanked her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who Lainey said guides her “every single step of the way.” 

It sounded like Lainey has a tight circle of family and friends whom she loves dearly. But in her acceptance speech, Lainey singled out two people. 

One person who she “loves” is her manager, Mandelyn. Lainey also confessed that her man was on her mind when she revealed, “Duck, I love you back there.” 

That was a romantic moment, but Lainey also told Taste of Country about her everyday life with Duck in Nashville. She admitted, “I put him to work.” Lainey talked about the “long list of things,” including taking the trash out, mowing the lawn, feeding the dogs, and even pulling weeds from the flower beds.

It sounds like Duck is in it for the long haul. Their love can go from an awards show to household chores just like that!

Kody and Robyn Update After Garrison’s Passing

Kody and Robyn Brown have been keeping to themselves ever since Kody’s son Garrison passed away in early March 2024.

However, they were recently seen in public.

They went to Garrison’s memorial service which was held by the Nevada National Guard on March 24.

Garrison was a member of the Nevada National Guard, which is why they organized this event.

Who Attended Kody’s Son, Garrison, Memorial Service

The National Guard’s official Facebook page posted some photos from the memorial service.

And Kody and Robyn could be seen in those.

During the service, they were sitting in the front row, as were Janelle, Hunter, Christine, David, and more.

Kody and Robyn didn’t sit next to Janelle – there were two people between them and her.

In one of the photos, Janelle looks devastated.

She had just been handed a flag as a thank-you for Garrison’s service.

Kody is not visible in this photo, but Robyn is.

Robyn Seemed Upset During Memorial Service

And she seems upset, too.

She is looking in Janelle’s direction.

She is doing the same in some other photos, too.

One other photo also shows her and Kody together.

Kody has a hand on her leg in what looks like a comforting gesture.

Both of them seem sad.

Attendees Wore Hawaiian or Floral Attire in Honor of Garrison 

Robyn is also wearing a floral dress.

Many of the attendees chose to wear something with a floral design.

Some wore Hawaiian shirts, while others went with floral ties.

This was done in honor of Garrison, who started his own clothing line, Bob’s Floral, in 2019.

The memorial service was the first time Kody and Robyn were seen since Garrison’s passing.

Kody and Janelle’s Statement: ‘Our Loss Will Leave Such a Big Hole in Our Lives’

After he passed away, Kody and Janelle made a joint statement on their Instagram accounts.

It read: “Janelle and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown. He was a bright spot in the lives of all who knew him. Our loss will leave such a big hole in our lives, that it takes our breath away. We ask that you please respect our privacy and join us in honoring his memory.”

After Kody posted his statement, he went silent again.

He hasn’t posted anything else to his social media since.

Robyn also hasn’t shared anything about Garrison on her social media.

She hasn’t posted anything on her own Instagram since 2019.

Janelle has, however, made some more posts since her and Kody’s official statement.

In one of them, she talked about the memorial service that they all attended.

She shared some of the Nevada National Guard’s Facebook photos.

And she wrote: “Garrison was honored by family members and by his National Guard Unit last Sunday at a celebration of life ceremony. He would have loved it.”

She also said that it’d been hard trying to get her brain to work properly again.

Robyn Expressed Her Gratitude for Outpouring Love and Support

However, she added that she was grateful for the outpouring of love and support she’d received over the last couple of weeks.

She called the support overwhelming.

And she said that she was honored.

Then, she thanked everyone from the bottom of her heart.

In the last paragraph of her caption, Janelle also commented on the photos she was reposting.

She wrote: “Many [of] you have already seen a lot of these online, often with snarky comments accompanying them. But this was a beautiful moment for us.”

This may have been referring to the many comments people left under the Facebook photos criticizing Kody.

One commenter wrote: “You’d think Kody would be closer to Janelle not hand draped across Robyns leg.”

While another said: “I do LOVE how David is right beside Kody. A true gentleman, right there. David not Kody.”

However, based on Janelle’s caption, it seems that the event was incredibly meaningful to the entire family.

Time will tell if Kody or Robyn will make another statement about Garrison.

Olivia Plath Speaks Out

Olivia Plath is finally talking about her experiences with fundamentalist Christianity and her life with Ethan Plath. The show Welcome to Plathville is about the Plath family, who identify as fundamentalist Christians, and it airs on TLC.

Right from the start, the audience is introduced to Olivia. It kicks off with her wedding to Ethan Plath, and much of the show follows her journey.

Olivia married Ethan when they were both young. Throughout the seasons, viewers can start to see cracks begin to form in their relationship. There was a lot of tension in their relationship because Olivia was having doubts about her religion and her marriage.

Olivia sat down with Teen Vogue to talk about her experience on the show and how much her life has changed since then. Her story begins with her family finding a fundamentalist church and joining it. Life for her changed overnight.

One day, she was wearing tank tops with flowers on them, and the next day, she had to wear dresses that went down to her knee. Life became more strict, but since she was young, she was able to adjust to the new rules.

That said, Olivia said she was always a stubborn and curious girl. Her tendency to question things would ultimately lead to her divorce.

Olivia Got MArried When She Was Only 20 Years Old

Before then, however, she was the daughter of a pastor who preached for a fundamentalist church sect, something she now considers a cult. She met Ethan at a conference, and they began to date long-distance. They were allowed to write letters to each other and have an hour-long phone call every three months.

Olivia was also able to see the world a bit due to her photography business. So, she had some exposure to the wider world outside of her church and community.

When she was 20, she and Ethan got married, and she joined the show. From the start, Olivia questioned fundamentalism, especially with how the Plaths viewed it. They were even more conservative than her own family, and that made the transition a bit more difficult.

When 2020 struck, and the world grappled with COVID-19 and the George Floyd murder, Olivia’s eyes were really opened. The church, and the Plath family, didn’t seem to take these issues that seriously.

The community she was in looked at her weird if she chose to wear a mask. If anyone voted anything besides Republican, you’d become the talk of the town.

She started to question her place in the world and wondered if she had any value as a woman besides being a wife and mother. When she decided that her value was more than just those two things, she started to question fundamentalist Christianity as a whole.

Olivia Is Having to Rebuild Her Worldview

She realized that it was built with the patriarchy in mind, and it was the patriarchy that was behind a lot of the social issues that the world has today. No longer satisfied to be what men told her she should be, she set out to divorce her husband.

While Ethan had briefly been swayed to be more open with his views, he eventually returned to the conservative viewpoints of his family. The two had different plans for raising children.

So, Olivia divorced him and moved to Los Angeles. She’s spent the last few years trying to put her own worldview together after dismantling her old one.

As for the Plaths and fundamentalist Christianity, she said that it tends to have a lot of skeletons in the closet. Since, at its heart, fundamentalist Christianity is all about showing the perfect family when a fundamentalist family is given a platform, the viewers don’t always see the cracks.

Olivia said the one good thing about the Welcome to Plathville show is that it sometimes showed family arguments. However, there are far more skeletons in the closet that the show didn’t expose.

As for what those skeletons are, Olivia isn’t quite ready to divulge those secrets yet. For now, she’s focused on rebuilding her life, dating, and being curious about the world. All things that her fundamentalist upbringing denied her.

Maci Speaks Out About Ryan

Maci from Teen Mom invited her ex Ryan Edwards to spend Easter with her and their son. 

What’s more, Maci also invited Ryan’s new girlfriend, Amanda Conner

Many were surprised to see Maci offering an olive branch to the man she’s had so many ups and downs with over the years. 

In an exclusive with Us Weekly, the reality star shared her thoughts on how Ryan had changed for the better in recent times. 

What Teen Mom, Maci, Said About Her Ex, Ryan: ‘He’ll Be a Year Sober’ 

She said that her ex was “doing really well”, and added that “he’ll be a year sober” next week, which was something Maci revealed she’d “never seen” in Ryan.

Ryan was so much better than Maci and had no problem inviting him and Amanda to celebrate Easter with her, their son Bentley, and Maci’s husband Taylor McKinney

She explained to Us Weekly that she felt like Ryan and their son “are in a really good place”.

She went on to admit that while she had always hoped for Ryan to make improvements, it wasn’t always necessarily what she expected. 

She explained that “hope and expectations were two different things”

However, in the last year or so, her expectations for Ryan have increased as she’s seen how well he’s been doing. 

And she admitted that it was “really nice” to finally be able to have the family “in one spot”, for the sake of Bentley. 

Maci Shared Her Thoughts and Promoted the New Season of Teen Mom: Family Reunion

Maci was sharing her thoughts with Us Weekly while promoting the new season of Teen Mom: Family Reunion. 

In previous Teen Mom seasons, viewers have witnessed Ryan’s struggle with addiction and the impact this had on his role as a father. 

Maci shared her gratitude that through it all, her husband Taylor was able to be a father figure for Bentley in Ryan’s absence.  

Maci Said Her Husband, Taylor: ‘Provides a Constant for Bentley and Me’

She told Us Weekly that Taylor “provides a constant for Bentley and me.”

She added that she didn’t think her son would “have the courage to really keep pursuing and stay hopeful in certain situations” without Taylor. 

Maci also shared her pride in how her son has dealt with everything he has experienced since he was young. 

She said, “Even through the rough times he’s been through in his life with Ryan and all that, he’s always just kind of handled himself accordingly”

However, this didn’t mean that Maci didn’t worry about what her son might get up to while she filmed the newest Teen Mom season. 

Maci, Taylor and their co-stars all traveled to Colombia to film the show. 

With Bentley back home alone, Maci couldn’t help but think about what he might get up to. 

She said, “Being gone for Family Reunion, it was one of those like, ‘Oh my god. It’s his freshman year of high school… I hope everything is going to be okay.’”

But the positive strides Ryan’s making and the effect it’s having on their relationship might mean Maci will be able to rely on him more. 

Cher Wants Another Baby

Reports have claimed pop legend Cher is feeling broody for another baby at the age of 77. The singer has been dating her 37-year-old boyfriend Alexander “AE” Edwards for over a year now. 

In that time, she has been able to spend a lot of time with AE and Amber Rose’s son, Slash. According to sources who spoke to In Touch, the four-year-old inspired Cher to consider becoming a mom again herself. 

The unnamed source said, “She’s telling AE it’s her dream in life to have another baby.” However, the source went on to explain that Cher’s options to fulfill her dream are pretty limited.

They said that Cher had “missed the boat” when it came to freezing her eggs or hiring a surrogate. However, she is reportedly giving serious thought to the idea of adopting a baby. The source alleged that it was “something she would very much like to do”.

Cher has also made it clear that, for her, age is just a number. She doesn’t believe she is too old to have another baby. In Touch’s source added that Cher “stays fit and plans to live well into her 90s like her mom.”

The source also addressed the possibility that Cher’s situation with her two adult children might be part of her motivation to do it all again. It has been well publicized that the singer’s sons Chaz and Elijah have not always had the best relationship with their mother. 

The source explained, “She was so career-focused when they were young.” Having another child now would give Cher the chance to take a different approach. The source claimed that Cher would “appreciate being a mom this time around.”

Cher and AE’s Relationship Has Has Some Rough Spots

The news of Cher’s “dream” to have a baby is just the latest sign of her commitment to her boyfriend AE. Last December, In Touch reported that she was “madly in love” with the music executive.

However, their romantic journey has not always been plain sailing. Parade magazine reported in May last year that the couple had actually split up. However, by October, Us Weekly reported that they had been back together “for a while.”

While sources have said they’re “stronger than ever,” they have obviously faced their fair share of criticism, mainly because of the age gap between them. Cher in particular faced backlash after appearing to go against her own advice.

She had previously admitted, “I told my friends, don’t fall in love with a younger man – we’re too old – and don’t ever fall in love by text.” However, she did go on to add, in reference to her own relationship, “There goes that theory.”

Even her own family has voiced concern, especially regarding the prospect of marriage. A source told In Touch that the family was worried what would happen to Cher’s “$360 million” fortune if she married AE. While Cher’s rep has reportedly denied rumors of a wedding, the recent baby reports suggest that Cher has not closed the door on anything in the near future.

Cory Wharton has cheated on Taylor Selfridge! The Teen Mom couple could be on the brink of disaster after Cory’s shattering admission on Teen Mom: Family Reunion. 

Cory said that his partner “doesn’t trust me because I cheated on her five years ago.” He hastened to add that he regretted what he had done “every day.” The 33-year-old went on to say, “I need to do the best I can do to make sure to rebuild that trust between me and Taylor because right now, it’s dragging us down like an anchor.”

Cory’s confession happened during an exercise that had been organized by relationship experts Dr. Mike Dow and Machaiah Dominguez. Both Cory and Taylor admitted that progress in their relationship was proving tricky. They both agreed that the root cause of this was a lack of trust.

Taylor told the experts that Cory “just wants me to get over it because it was so long ago.” While she acknowledged that it had been years since Cory cheated on her, she said that she was “not over it yet.” She went on to say that it was something that the couple had not yet managed to work through and something that the Teen Mom was still “holding a grudge” about. 

Taylor went on to describe the ways in which Cory’s betrayal still affected how she thought about him. Heartbreakingly, she revealed that she still feared that he could do the same thing to her again. 

She shared that she will “always think there could be something.” After having her trust broken, she said that it was “hard” to pick up where they left off. 

Cory Had More Hidden Secrets

The couple have been together since 2017, meaning that Cory must have cheated on Taylor one or two years into their relationship. Since meeting on a separate reality show, Ex on the Beach, the two have gone on to start a family together. Their first daughter, Mila, was born three years ago, followed by a second, Maya, about a year and a half ago. 

Before getting together with Taylor, Cory had another daughter with ex-girlfriend Cheyenne Floyd. Us Weekly reported that Cheyenne also had her say on Cory’s devastating confession. The outlet described Cheyenne as being “surprised by her ex’s openness about his past mistakes.”

She said she didn’t know “if everybody knew” about Cory’s secret, which would be “really hard to work through.” Cory described his past actions as a “dumb mistake” that he was still paying for. 

However, he hinted that it was not the only reason that his relationship with his baby momma was in turmoil. He told Tyler Baltierra that “there’s more to me and her than just my issues.” Whatever those other issues are, they’re sure to be explored in the upcoming episodes of Family Reunion.
