What Happened to Ebony’s Daughter Jocelyn

Ebony Jackson’s episode of 16 and Pregnant was really heartbreaking at times, mainly because she had to put her dream of joining the military on hold. It still seemed like she and her boyfriend, Josh Rendon, would be able to give their daughter, Jocelyn, a great life. 

But shortly after the cameras stopped rolling, their lives unexpectedly took a seriously shocking turn. The truth about the tragedy and heartbreak that Jocelyn has encountered so far is honestly hard to believe, so let’s get into it.

Ebony and Josh’s episode of 16 and Pregnant first aired in July 2009, just two months after their daughter was born. It wasn’t until about a year later that Ebony decided to update Facebook followers about what life was like for her, Josh, and Jocelyn.

In the summer of 2010, Ebony revealed that she and Josh had gotten married after MTV’s cameras left. She added that Josh was in the Air Force and also studying to become a mechanic. Once Josh graduated from tech school that August, he would be returning home to her and Jocelyn, but only for about 10 days.  

Ebony and Josh would only have about a week and a half to pack themselves and Jocelyn up before relocating to Arkansas. They were making the move because Josh was set to be stationed near Little Rock. 

But that wans’t the only change the couple had planned. Believe it or not, Ebony and Josh were also trying to have another baby so that Jocelyn would have a younger sibling. At the time, it sounded like the whole family was thriving, and their lives seemed pretty stable. 

Jocelyn Was Removed from Their Custody

According to The Ashley’s Reality Roundup, Ebony and Josh were expecting baby number two in May of 2011. 

But just a couple of weeks later, everything suddenly came crashing down. The Ashley’s Reality Roundup shared that unfortunately, Ebony’s pregnancy had ended, and she lost the baby. She was understandably devastated and struggled to cope with the heartbreaking loss. 

A few months later, details about how their lives had drastically changed were exposed. In September 2011, Jocelyn was shockingly removed from her parents’ custody. 

E! News reported that Child Protective Services had placed her in foster care because Ebony and Josh had been arrested. The couple was reportedly charged with possession of illegal substances, as well as endangering the welfare of a child. Reportedly, the state of their house was so disgusting that it wasn’t even in a livable condition. 

TMZ obtained a copy of the police report from their arrest, and what it revealed was seriously disturbing. It turns out that Josh and Ebony’s house was beyond filthy. 

There were bodily fluids smeared all over the walls, floors, and even the furniture. There was trash lying around, a fly infestation, and multiple dogs that appeared to be uncared for as well. Ebony and Josh were both bailed out of jail, but it’s no wonder Jocelyn wasn’t returned to their care right away.  

Just a couple of days later, Ebony admitted to Hollywood Life that losing Jocelyn had turned her world upside down. She claimed that she and Josh were determined to get their daughter back and improve their lives. Ebony explained that Josh had been booted from the military, so they were going to eventually move back to Colorado. 

Ebony Went to a Rehab Center

While they worked on getting their lives back on track, they were thinking of signing custody of Jocelyn over to either Josh’s parents or Ebony’s mom. But at the time, they hadn’t even seen their daughter since they were put behind bars. 

In October, TMZ reported that Ebony and Josh were allowed to see Jocelyn again after being granted supervised visitation. They were only able to spend two hours with her per visit twice a week. 

Even though the couple was one step closer to getting her back, what happened next was seriously surprising.   

According to what Ebony’s father, Anthony Jackson, told Radar Online that November, Ebony was in a rehab center. He claimed that she had spent a week at a treatment facility shortly after she was arrested, but it wasn’t enough time for her to get the help she needed.

Anthony added that his daughter had been struggling with her mental health. He hoped that she would stay there longer than before to learn more coping skills and get healthier. 

The next update about Ebony and Josh was honestly so unexpected.

In April 2012, Josh announced to TMZ that he and Ebony were expecting another baby. They still didn’t have custody of Jocelyn yet. Starcasm revealed that in October of that year, Ebony and Josh welcomed another daughter, Jayda. By this time, the couple had regained custody of Jocelyn. 

Ebony Did Not Fight for Legal Custody of Her Daughters

But just when it seemed like things were looking up, Ebony shared a bizarre update. In June 2013, Ebony dropped an absolute bombshell on Twitter when she posted that she had met an incredible man. 

She explained that she and Josh had called it quits, and the reason why was extremely alarming. According to Ebony’s interview with Starcasm, Josh had been in a terrible place mentally, but he didn’t seem to want help. He would stay out all night, only to come home and pick fights with Ebony.  

It wasn’t long before things took a turn for the worse. Josh reportedly mistreated Ebony regularly, but one evening, she needed to call for emergency help. That was when she knew she had to leave.

The next day, she began the process of moving out. Ebony ultimately moved back to Colorado and filed for divorce. Josh returned to the same state since he also had family there. 

Ebony didn’t waste much time before moving on with someone new. In 2014, Ebony got into a relationship with a man named James Baldrick. 

His daughter, Esme, was just a couple of years older than Jocelyn. It turns out that neither of Ebony’s daughters was under her care anymore. Jocelyn and Jayda were supposedly being looked after by Josh’s parents. 

Years later, Ebony revealed on her Instagram that after she and Josh split, he and his parents took the girls from her. She didn’t try to legally fight him for custody because she knew she couldn’t give her daughters the life they deserved. At the time, she didn’t even have her own place to stay, so she figured it was in Jocelyn and Jayda’s best interest to be with their dad and his parents. 

That’s why what happened next was so insane. 

Ebony and James Welcomed a Third Baby Girl

In April 2015, James posted a photo on Instagram of Ebony’s ultrasound. The Ashley’s Reality Roundup revealed that the couple would soon add another daughter to their family. According to The Ashley, Ebony and James welcomed their baby girl, Jaelyn, at the end of June. 

They both stayed surprisingly private on social media afterward. It wasn’t until years later that Ebony finally explained on Instagram what had been going on. 

Ebony and James had been through a lot of rough patches, but they decided to get married in January 2018. Shortly after, they separated, and they even considered filing for divorce. However, they grew closer again over the next few years, after overcoming some seriously challenging obstacles together.

Ebony shared on Instagram that she had been diagnosed with epilepsy, struggled with depression, and had even gotten into a car accident. Even though she and James had repaired their broken bond, things didn’t play out the same with Jocelyn and Jayda.

The chaos of her life affected Ebony’s communication with her eldest daughters, and they stopped regularly contacting each other. Ebony also claimed that despite what most people thought, she still technically had custody of all three of her daughters. Because she knew that her life wasn’t stable enough, Jocelyn and Jayda had been living with Josh’s parents for years.

Jocelyn and Jayda Remain in their Grandparents Custody

Ebony added that she was hopeful that her oldest daughters would someday be able to live with her again. But they definitely wouldn’t be seeing their dad for a while.

In 2021, Josh was locked up after he stole a car and allegedly tried to end the life of a police officer. According to Starcasm, he was sentenced last year to 10 years in prison but could potentially be released on parole in 2027. 

According to The Ashley’s Reality Roundup, Josh’s mother, Christy, currently has custody of Jocelyn and Jayda. It’s unknown whether or not Ebony was telling the truth about sharing custody of her oldest daughters, but it sounds like they rarely even stay in contact anymore. 

Jocelyn is about to turn 15, while Jayda recently turned 11. They’ve experienced so much devastation in their short lives. It’s heartbreaking that Ebony and Josh haven’t been healthy or stable enough to have their oldest daughters in their care.

Thankfully, Jocelyn and Jayda were able to stay together. Christy doesn’t share anything about them with the public, which is probably for the best. It’ll be interesting to see if Ebony will have a more consistent, present role in her daughters’ lives in the future. 

How Joy-Anna Broke Free

Joy-Anna Duggar is done with her family. She recently spoke out about some frustrations that she has, and you guys will never believe what she admitted.

A couple of weeks ago, Joy-Anna posted a shocking video to her YouTube channel. In it, she answered some of her fans’ burning questions, including ones about her family.

One person asked her what the hardest part of living in the spotlight was. She had a lot to say about that.

Joy-Anna said that one of the hardest things was everyone having an opinion about her life.

She talked about one specific thing that happened to her a while ago. She saw someone say things about her on social media that she didn’t like or agree with. So, she decided to message this person.

She introduced herself and addressed some of the things that this person was saying. According to her, the social media user didn’t believe her. They said that she was being controlled and manipulated.

Joy-Anna said this was frustrating because this person didn’t really know her. The thing that she wants people to understand is that she’s her own person with her own opinions.

She added: “It’s hard because people have their opinions, and there’s some times where it doesn’t bother me, but there are other times where when I already feel like I’m knocked down, those things tend to come back, and they do bother me.”

Joy-Anna said that this is why she tries to be careful when it comes to reading comments and things people say online because sometimes, she can take it, but not always.

Joy-Anna Has Remained Close with Her Sister, Jinger

She also said that she just really wants people to get to know her as an individual. She exists outside of her family. And she doesn’t want to be lumped together with the rest of the Duggars.

It seems like she was hinting that she’s different from the rest of her family, and it is why I think she might be turning her back on some of them, specifically her parents. Joy-Anna also admitted that she’s close with one of her siblings, Jinger.

We all know that Jinger is one of the Duggar kids who’s been speaking out against her dad’s teachings. She and her husband, Jeremy, have openly criticized the IBLP, which is the religious organization that her parents are part of. It’s why the Duggars have to follow all those strict rules.

But Jinger is now free of the IBLP. She’s not in the organization anymore, and it’s clear that she’s happy about that. She hasn’t exactly been trying to hide that.

Which is why it’s so interesting that she and Joy-Anna are so close. With Joy-Anna saying that she’s her own person, does this mean she’s not in the IBLP anymore? Is that why she and Jinger are so close?

I mean, it’s definitely possible.

In September 2023, there was a video going around the internet that made a lot of people think that Joy-Anna might be done with the IBLP. She actually shared this video herself.

At first glance, it all seemed innocent. The video was of her daughter Evelyn dancing in a clothing store.

In the caption, Joy-Anna wrote: “We were out shopping today, and I look to find my daughter doing what I think looks like the chicken dance. It’s only really cute when you are young.”

Dancing Wasn’t Allowed in the Duggar Family

The video was honestly adorable, but it also raised a lot of questions. Normally, a video of a small child dancing would be nothing out of the ordinary, but the thing is that the Duggars aren’t allowed to dance.

It is against IBLP rules for members to dance. So, not only was Joy-Anna letting her daughter go against the IBLP, but she also posted about it online.

This makes me think that she’s done with the Institute because there’s no way she’d be doing this if she was still a member. She is still clearly religious because her Instagram bio says that she loves Jesus. But there’s no way that she’s still in the IBLP.

RELATED: ‘Welcome to Plathville’ Ethan and Olivia Plath Divorce Update

Especially since the video of Evelyn also had a couple of words over it, as well. It said: “The embarrassing fact that your daughter dances just like you.”

Basically, Joy-Anna admitted that she sometimes dances, too. So, that really felt like her drawing the line under her IBLP past. It is also possible that she didn’t know that this would stir so much controversy.

I guess there was still a small chance that she made a mistake when she posted this, and she was still in the IBLP. But now, I don’t think that’s even a possibility anymore because, just recently, she really stood her ground.

Joy-Anna Could See Herself Moving to L.A.

On February 6, 2024, she posted another video on her Instagram. But this time, it wasn’t of her daughter dancing.

The video showed her and her husband, Austin, dancing the cha-cha. It looks like they’re actually attending dance lessons now.

In her caption, Joy-Anna wrote: “My husband and I never learned to dance, so when Austin gifted me with dance lessons I was ecstatic! Only a few lessons in, so we’re still pretty stiff… BUT we’re getting it down.” That’s a massive deal.

It just proves what I’ve been saying; she’s ready to live her own life. She’s clearly not worried about following all her family’s rules anymore. Plus, in her Q&A video on YouTube, she also hinted at the possibility of moving to LA.

She went to LA recently to visit Jinger. While they were there, they talked about her and Austin’s family moving there, too.

Joy-Anna said that she could imagine it happening at some point. Although, it’s not clear if Austin is on board with that idea or not.

I wonder how moving to LA would affect her relationship with her parents. She’s obviously been making moves that go against their beliefs. But right now, she still lives close to them and has a relationship with them.

In her YouTube video, she admitted that she sees her parents often, at least once a week. On top of that, she also lets Michelle watch her and Austin’s kids about once a month.

Joy-Anna is Free of Her Father’s Rules

This is when they have a date night. I actually wonder if Michelle sometimes watches the kids when Joy-Anna and Austin are at their dance lessons.

That would be kind of crazy because Jim Bob and Michelle still are in the IBLP. This kind of thing would definitely go against their beliefs.

Would Jim Bob allow Michelle to watch the kids while Joy-Anna is away dancing with her husband in public? I don’t know, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he was against it.

He can’t be happy about her choosing to do this, but I guess there’s nothing he can do. As Joy-Anna said, she’s her own person.

She exists outside of her family with her own opinions and beliefs. Jim Bob can’t change that.

For all we know, he might’ve tried. But it’s clear that it didn’t work. These days, Joy-Anna seems to be free of her dad’s strict rules.

Kail’s Nanny Exposes Her on Social Media

It’s no secret that Kail Lowry has a reputation for ruining her friendships. But she was just called out by someone very shocking: her longtime friend and former nanny, Natalie Knapp.

Natalie has recently been throwing major shade at Kail, and it doesn’t look like she’s about to stop anytime soon. The truth about their bizarre feud is crazy. So, let’s get into it. 

It seems as if Natalie is no longer working as Kail’s nanny. She was originally hired to help with child care in 2020, around the time Creed was born. 

However, Natalie was also one of Kail’s closest friends, and they’ve even gone on international trips together. But now, it seems like everything is falling apart between Natalie and Kail. 

It doesn’t look like they’re on good terms anymore, based on Natalie’s social media activity. What she’s been sharing on Instagram lately is absolutely insane. 

Natalie Accused Kail of Being a Bad Mom

Just a couple of weeks ago, Natalie posted a cryptic meme on her Instagram Story that read: “You’re a great mom on Facebook. Too bad you’re a horrible one in real life.” That probably wouldn’t have raised any red flags if it hadn’t been for a super shady detail. 

Natalie also wrote: “Imagine that, Fakery Bakery moms,” on the meme, which appeared to be an obvious dig at Kail. If you don’t already know, Kail mentions a ‘fakery bakery’ in the weekly intro to Coffee Convos, the podcast she hosts with Lindsie Chrisley.

Natalie didn’t just stop at accusing her ex-friend of being a bad mother. 

Kail often refers to herself and her kids as “Kail and the Chaos,” which is also the name of her YouTube channel. So what Natalie posted next was seriously unbelievable. 

Natalie shared a quote to her Instagram Story that stressed the importance of staying positive, patient, and on top of your priorities. It seemed like a diss to Kail’s chaotic lifestyle and her alleged failure to prioritize her children. 

But this is where things get messy.

Kail’s ex-boyfriend and third baby, Chris Lopez, also decided to get involved. On his Instagram Story, he re-shared the same meme about someone being a horrible mom in real life that Natalie had shared. 

We already know that Chris will take any opportunity he can to criticize Kail. When he shared a meme to his Story that said, “The next chapter in my life is called, ‘I told y’all,’” it was pretty clear that he was talking about Natalie clashing with his baby mama. 

Kail Clapped Back at Natalie

After Chris put his two cents in, Natalie continued sharing cryptic memes. One of the quotes she posted to her Instagram Story stated: “Stop expecting honesty from people who lie to themselves.” This is intriguing, considering Kail’s extensive history of stretching the truth.

Natalie also shared a couple of memes that appeared to hint at what had happened between her and Kail. The first one read: “Never push a loyal person to the point where they no longer care,” while the second mentioned only owing allegiance to people who never made you question their loyalty. 

Natalie’s posts seemed to suggest that Kail had seriously wronged her and maybe even broken her trust. However, she probably isn’t legally allowed to reveal exactly what happened since Kail makes almost everyone in her life sign an NDA.  

Interestingly, Natalie seemingly dropped another clue about her beef with Kail in her next post. She shared a meme to her Instagram Story that said, “Friends who gossip about others to you are gossiping about you to them.” This implied that she might have been betrayed by a friend. 

Kail has been called out numerous times in the past for talking badly about her friends behind their backs. So, it wouldn’t be surprising if she had done the same to Natalie. 

Despite the shade that Natalie had apparently been throwing by sharing pointed memes and quotes, Kail had been surprisingly quiet. But recently, she clapped back in a crazy way. 

Kail just posted a quote to her Instagram Story that stated: “I don’t want any kinda help that I gotta hear about later. I’m good.” It seemed like an obvious response to Natalie, but it really didn’t make much sense. 

Natalie Looked Stunned When Kail Announced Her Twins

Natalie was working as Kail’s nanny until pretty recently. Although she had clearly gotten super attached to the kids over the years, her job still seemed extremely demanding. So whatever help Kail was referring to probably wasn’t some minor chore.

Even before Kail and Elijah welcomed their twins in November, Natalie definitely had her hands full. When she wasn’t keeping an eye on all 5 children, she still had the three youngest boys to take care of. And when Kail broke the news to her nanny that there would soon be 7 kids in the house, Natalie looked absolutely stunned.

Some people have speculated that Natalie may have stepped down as Kail’s nanny because she was overwhelmed by the idea of taking care of 5 young kids. Others have theorized that Kail might not have been paying her enough. It’s also possible that Natalie was let go, and that’s why she feels so hurt. 

Interestingly, Kail mentioned that she was looking for an au pair during an episode of Coffee Convos last October, so Natalie might have stopped working for her a few months ago. Either way, it seems like Natalie is starting to get more and more upset with Kail. 

She recently updated her Facebook status with a truly unbelievable warning. Natalie essentially wrote: “Do not poke the bear. I promise it will not work out in your best interest.” 

Keith and Kail Met in College

But if that wasn’t intense enough, her feud with Kail took yet another shocking turn when someone completely unexpected chimed in. Now, it looks like Natalie’s son, Keith, has been caught up in the online drama between his mom and Kail. 

He recently shared a video of himself to his Instagram Story that was honestly kind of alarming. In the clip, Keith made it clear that he wasn’t joking around.

He revealed that some people would be in for a rude awakening. Then, he promised that he would be coming for anyone who had wronged a member of his family. 

But that wasn’t all.

Keith also claimed that the one thing a person should never do is betray someone who’s been behind them since the beginning. He ended his ominous warning by saying, “If the shoe fits, wear it.” Needless to say, his cautionary message came across as very sinister. 

Believe it or not, Keith’s involvement is seriously insane, especially considering that he’s had Kail’s back for years. They met in college, and Keith has even worked as her security guard from time to time. He also appeared on an episode of her Barely Famous podcast in March 2022, where they both shut down rumors that they were romantically involved.

Natalie actually met Kail through Keith and eventually ended up working as her housekeeper and nanny. But despite all of the mystery surrounding Kail and Natalie’s feud, one thing is for sure. No matter how it started, it isn’t just affecting the two of them. 

Kail’s Kids Are Close to Natalie

Kail has previously revealed that she and her children consider Natalie and her relatives to be members of their family. She and the kids even called Natalie’s mom ‘Nan’ because of how close they felt. 

Since Kail doesn’t really have any family of her own, her kids have most likely been impacted by what’s going on with Natalie. If the former friends aren’t able to work things out in the future, Kail’s sons will probably end up struggling to process her sudden absence. 

Even though Natalie has been stirring the pot lately, she must be extremely hurt as well. She’s been around Kail’s kids for years and has helped raise Creed since he was a newborn. 

So whatever happened between her and Kail must have been a truly major incident. It’ll be interesting to see how their feud continues to unfold and if any other details are revealed. 

Yo Gotti and Angela Simmons Relationship

Yo Gotti and Angela Simmons have been an item for over a year now. The beginnings of their relationship were the subject of a lot of media attention. 

Last November, Hot News Hip Hop took a look back at the unorthodox approach the rapper took to catching Angela’s attention. The first hint at a potential romance between the pair came back in 2015. When Yo Gotti released his track Down in the DM, he publicly declared his affection for Rev Run’s daughter.

He rapped the lyrics: “And I just followed Angela. Boy, I got a crush on Angela Simmons.” This honest statement of interest received plenty of attention, but Angela was not interested in responding to Yo Gotti’s rap. It would be years before the two of them became a couple.

In the intervening years, Angela would experience tragedy after the loss of her one-time fiance, Sutton Tennyson, with whom she shared a son, in 2018. It would be another five years before Yo Gotti and Angela’s names were linked again. 

Yo Gotti rapped about her again on the song Save It For Me. And last year, he finally took his chance with her. 

Angela and Yo Gotti decided to start the year 2023 with the announcement that they were in a relationship. They both took to Instagram to share pictures of each other along with captions declaring what Hot News Hip Hop described as “a declaration of love and mutual admiration.”

Angela shared a series of shots from an elegant photoshoot with Yo Gotti. In the caption, she wrote: “You are all I need and more”, followed by a love heart emoji. She later posted another photo from inside a luxury car, showing her being poured a glass of champagne by her new partner.  

Yo Gotti Shares His Extravagant Gifts on Social Media

Since going official on social media, the couple have continued to share public displays of their feelings for each other. 

For her 36th birthday, Yo Gotti reportedly arranged a collection of expensive and stylish gifts for his partner. These included bouquets of flowers, black Chanel boxes, and white candles. The scene also included tribal dancers and a saxophone player performing on a beach. 

The footage, shared on Instagram, showed Angela getting emotional as Yo Gotti revealed what he’d done for her. Angela then took to Instagram herself, writing in her Stories that she had been touched by the gesture and calling Yo Gotti her “best gift.”

A few months later, Yo Gotti used his music again to celebrate his relationship with Angela. People magazine reported that the video for his new song, The One, showcased moments from the couple’s new life together.

The 42-year-old rapped about his girlfriend in the “PDA-filled music video” starring both the rapper and Angela. The video was filmed during a trip to Greece and Dubai, and it featured clips of the couple kissing and driving around in a Rolls Royce.  

Yo Gotti’s lyrics matched the video rapping, “You give me butterflies in your stomach, like we still in middle school.” Yo Gotti even admitted on the track that he got “nervous vibes” when he missed Angela. Angela went on to appear in another of his videos, No Fake Love, which again mused on the pair’s loving relationship.

After getting so spoiled for her own birthday, Angela decided to treat her partner. Hot News Hip Hop reported that she gifted Yo Gotti a Tesla for his birthday. 

Rumors Spread That Yo Gotti Was Seeing Someone Else

Although the couple show nothing but generosity and affection for each other online, their relationship also came into question following some rumors. Distractify reported in October of last year that a gossip site had alleged that Yo Gotti had started seeing someone else. The outlet then reported that neither Angela nor Yo Gotti had responded to the rumors that their relationship was over.

However, it had been reported elsewhere that the couple were facing other problems. Allegedly, Yo Gotti “distanced himself” from Angela after TMZ reported she was carrying a $48,000 debt related to overdue rent. 

TMZ claimed that Angela had left her penthouse apartment in New Jersey without paying her dues. In court documents obtained by the media outlet, a judge ordered Angela to pay over 48 thousand dollars for alleged late fees for not paying her rent in late 2020.

Despite all the challenges the couple has reportedly faced in the last year, they now seem to be doing fine. Recently, they have been seen attending a Memphis Grizzlies game and the Grammy Awards ceremony together. Over Christmas, People reported that Yo Gotti had gifted Angela rare Hermes Birkin bags worth around $400,000. 

So, money doesn’t seem to be an issue for the couple.

What’s Going On with Snoop Dogg’s Daughter

Snoop Dogg’s daughter Cori Broadus recently suffered a horrible health scare. In January of this year, it was reported that she experienced a “severe stroke” and had to be hospitalized for several days. 

People reported on Cori’s reaction as she left the hospital to return home. She wrote on her Instagram Stories: “I can prolly cry,” before thanking everyone who had offered her their “continuous prayers, love etc.”

Cori had previously revealed the scary news in a post on her Instagram Stories. She wrote, “I had a severe stroke this a.m. I started breaking down crying when they told me.”

Later that month, Snoop Dogg told People that his daughter was “doing a little bit better” after her stay in hospital. He shared this update in a conversation with People during the premiere of his comedy movie The Underdoggs in Los Angeles, a week after the terrible incident took place.

Snoop Dogg was then asked if what happened to Cori gave him a new perspective on life. He said: “Yeah, yeah. Something like that.”

On January 22, Cori herself talked about how she was doing. The 24-year-old shared a picture of herself giving a thumbs-up. In the caption, she wrote: “God is working overtime, you hear me! My kidneys were doing terrible… doctors came in this AM and said they are improving so much.”

The next day, she wrote about going through so much like everyone else. She added that this is why she is so open about her life because she knows that she feels alone. But she also knows that we are never alone because someone somewhere is always going through the same thing.

These posts came shortly before she was discharged from the hospital. 

Cori Was Diagnosed with Lupus as a Child

But Cori had learned to deal with her health issues long before her most recent incident. Her challenges were first discovered at a young age after she was diagnosed with lupus at the age of six. This autoimmune disease causes Cori’s immune system to mistake healthy parts of her body for threats like bacteria and viruses. 

Last year, Cori shared her experience with lupus in an interview with People. She revealed at the time that she was better than she’d ever been and had stopped taking her medication about five months ago.

Instead, she had decided to take an all-natural approach. She said: “I’m just doing everything natural, all types of herbs, sea moss, teas. I started working out, drinking lots of water.” Cori also claimed that her body had responded well to her change in lifestyle, saying, “So now I think my body’s like, OK, this is the new program, and she’s getting used to it.”

However, she also noted in the interview that there was more she could be doing for her wellbeing. She mentioned that she was still “eating terribly” and “not getting the proper rest.” 

Cori mused, “If I can do a whole 360 change and just get healthy all around, U think I would be so good.” She concluded, “But I tell people all the time, it’s a day-by-day process. Things are going to take time. Nothing is going to happen overnight.”

Cori’s Engagement Faced Backlash

Despite all the difficulties she has to face, Cori has also stayed focused on realizing her many ambitions. Like her siblings, Corde and Cordell, she has chosen to walk the same path their dad did by entering the music business. She also started a beauty company called Choc Factory with her fiance, Wayne Deuce. 

The couple got engaged in November 2022 but quickly faced some unpleasant backlash. Cori explained that she was met with a barrage of negative comments on her Instagram engagement post.

The post contained a photo of her smiling and holding out her hand to show off her new engagement ring. In the caption, she wrote that she was “a fiance.”

The post quickly gained over 160,000 likes, and most people who saw it seemed to be delighted for Cori. However, not all the comments were so positive. Some commenters thought it would be funny to make fun of her appearance.

VIBE reported that in an interview on Karamo, Cori opened up about feeling sad when reading the hurtful comments. She said it was because it was supposed to be “a happy moment” and “something she wanted to share with the world.” However, Cori had also been prepared for some negativity around her announcement. 

She explained, “I actually waited a day because I knew, just being in the public eye, people are gonna say things.” Cori added that there was “always gonna be somebody with something negative to say.”

Hopefully, now that her health is improving, Cori will only be paying attention to positive news in the future.

Toby Keith’s Daughter Speaks Out

Before he passed away, Toby Keith had three grown-up children with his wife, Tricia. He shared a special bond with his middle child, Krystal Keith. On the Friday after Toby’s passing, Krystal spoke out from her heart on social media, as reported by The Oklahoman.

She posted an emotional tribute on Instagram and described Toby as her “hero.” Touchingly, Krystal wrote she felt “so lucky” to have had him and “so grateful” that Toby got to walk her down the aisle and meet her babies—two of his granddaughters.

Krystal loved to sing country music as her dad did. She has even released music on the record label that Toby co-owned in Nashville. She recalled “years of memories traveling the world as a family” and how blessed she was to sing on stage with Toby on the road.

Her social media tribute revealed how lucky Krystal felt to have a chance to say goodbye to her father and tell Toby what he meant to her. She also revealed that she has many videos of her father to remember him by. Krystal hopes that someday, she will enjoy watching those videos again.

Krystal wrote that the “amount of people and networks” honoring her dad “is a reminder that he wasn’t just ours. He was the world’s.” Krystal described Toby as “a gift that we were, as a family, able to offer the world, and he did not squander our sacrifice of time with him.”

She also provided some insight into Toby’s private side, writing that he did so much good for other people but didn’t look for any recognition for his kind deeds.

Krystal mentioned Toby’s strong faith in God, writing that he lived with Jesus so he could go on with Jesus. She called that the cherry on top of the life he lived. Krystal said she will honor her father forever.

Her social media post described how Toby’s passing has affected her physically. Krystal wrote, “The pain is so unbelievably deep and it feels like I have a literal broken heart,” although she admitted, “It wouldn’t hurt so bad if we didn’t love him and get to be loved” deeply by him.

Krystal’s words revealed that she never doubted her father’s love. She wrote, “He never made me wonder if he would be there for me.”

The Covel Family Will Have a Private Ceremony

On February 10th, The Oklahoman reported on a private funeral service being planned by Toby’s immediate family. The article mentions that a public memorial service should be announced soon.

The family announced the private service on Toby’s social media account, and The Oklahoman confirmed their message through Toby’s publicist. The message said, “The Covel Family is hosting a private funeral service for family, band, and crew only in mid-February. A memorial service to honor Toby will be announced only on Toby’s socials shortly.”

Covel is Toby’s real last name. His immediate family includes Tricia and his three children, five grandchildren, a son-in-law, and a daughter-in-law. 

Toby’s oldest daughter is Shelley who has a daughter named Presley and two boys named Sladen and Sawyer. Krystal married Andrew Sandubrae and has two daughters, Hensley and Kirby. Toby’s son, Stelen, recently married his wife, Haley.

Toby is also survived by his mother, Carolyn Joan Covel, his sister, Tonni Karan Covel-Moore, and his brother, Tracey Covel.

The private service announcement on social media also states that Toby’s family would prefer donations to the Toby Keith Foundation in his memory instead of flowers. Toby and Tricia started the Toby Keith Foundation to benefit children with cancer and their families in Oklahoma, and the family specifically requested donations to support the OK Kids Korral.

The Oklahoman reported that the OK Kids Korral, built by the Toby Keith Foundation, opened in 2013 and cost $9 million. The OK Kids Korral is a no-cost, “home-away-from-home” for families and children undergoing cancer treatment at the OU Medical Center. 

Jenelle Evans Financial Crisis

Jenelle Evans and her husband David Eason are reportedly facing financial struggles. In Touch Weekly reported that the couple is dealing with two court cases and their legal fees keep getting higher. On top of that, they also allegedly have a $46,000 state tax bill, which was originally filed in 2020.

An insider who spoke with The U.S Sun claimed that Jenelle and David’s legal fees were quickly piling up. The couple had been left in a financial crisis. They added that there was no discernable steady income coming into the house beyond the clickbait Jenelle did, and her OnlyFans account, which she’d kept up with sporadically at best.

The Sun’s source blamed the couple’s monetary problems on them being bad with money. The source also said that they’d order take-out all the time to feed four or five mouths. This was especially true when Maryssa, Jenelle’s teenage daughter, was home.

They’d also allegedly go on pricey trips with, and without, the kids. The insider went on to claim that the pair also sank money on their always-breaking, expensive toys, like the boat and their ATV.

Jenelle Lost Custody of Her Oldest Son, Jace

One of their legal battles is a custody case against Child Protective Services for Jenelle’s son, Jace Evans. In Touch previously reported that the 14-year-old had been reported as missing 3 times within two months last year.

After his 3rd attempt to run away, the news outlet exclusively revealed that he was checked into a hospital where he underwent a mental health evaluation. It was at this time that Child Protective Services got involved and began investigating Jace’s situation.

TMZ claimed that in early October 2023, Janelle and David were under investigation for child neglect. According to The Sun, after losing custody of her child, Jenelle was ordered to complete intensive therapy by Child Protective Services and to undergo substance tests too. 

Jace reportedly told his grandmother that his stepfather was harming him. The Sun claimed that the teenager told doctors, a therapist, a county Sheriff, and a CPS staffer that David had hurt him.

On January 10th, David appeared in Columbus Superior Court where he was indicted on felony CA charges. The court clerk told In Touch that enough evidence had been found to take David’s case out of district court, where misdemeanors were held, and bring it to the superior court.

According to the news website, Jenelle appears to be supporting her husband. Days after his court case, she shared on social media that she lived in the most corrupt place in the world. On Facebook, she also posted, “It’s funny how bias people are against us. When the truth comes out I hope you feel stupid”.

One of The Sun’s insiders reported that the CPS case against Janelle’s household was closed. The younger children would not be removed from the home. 

The Shocking Downfall of Kate Gosselin

Kate Gosselin is now living alone and almost completely broke. She’s reportedly desperate for money and has no one left in her corner. But let’s be real, she only has herself to blame. The bizarre truth about how she single-handedly caused her own downfall is honestly crazy… 

At the height of her reality TV career, Kate had a full household and a very comfortable bank account. But according to what an insider recently revealed to The U.S. Sun, those days are long gone. Now, Kate is totally on her own and is allegedly seriously struggling financially.

The source claimed that Leah, Alexis, Aaden, and Joel, the four sextuplets that were in Kate’s care, have all left her North Carolina home and moved away to attend college. But even though she now has all the free time in the world, Kate’s behavior has been so insane lately.

Kate Has Been Trying to Get More Child Support From Jon

Despite the fact that Kate is supposedly hurting for money and hasn’t been busy with childcare for a while now, she’s still allegedly refusing to get a normal job. What she’s hoping will happen instead is absolutely unreal. It turns out that Kate is once again going head-to-head with Jon in court, in hopes of getting $132,000 in back child support from him.

She’s been trying to pursue this case since September 2022, which another insider believes isn’t exactly a coincidence. After the sextuplets turned 18 in May 2022, Kate most likely lost access to their trust funds and bank accounts. Just three months later, Jon outed her for stealing thousands of dollars from their children.

And how she tried to defend herself was downright ridiculous: She claimed that she had only borrowed $100,000 from Hannah and Collin’s trust funds. She added that she had no other option and needed the money to survive. But even though she said she would pay the kids back, that reportedly never happened.

Now, Kate is doing whatever she can to bring in more cash – other than actually working for it. She’s desperate for the payout from Jon, who originally claimed that the amount of money was inappropriately high. But the source told The U.S. Sun that Kate’s original custody plan was nothing but a money-making scheme anyway.

In 2012, Kate allegedly pushed for more custody of the kids, but not because she actually wanted more parenting time with them. She supposedly wanted more filming opportunities with them, in order to make more money. Not to mention, the longer she had the kids living with her, the more child support Jon was ordered to pay.

Kate Hasn’t Had a Job Outside In Close to 20 Years

The insider added that aside from reality TV, Kate hasn’t held actual employment anywhere in close to 20 years. She was on Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test in the beginning of 2023, but was kicked off almost right away due to a neck injury.

But what she told People magazine about her departure from the show was extremely telling. Kate revealed that she was still super angry about having to leave the show. She had even tried to hide how seriously hurt she was, because she didn’t want to be sent home.

She claimed that she had wanted more chances to challenge herself and face her fears, but I think we all know the truth. Kate most likely just wanted more money from being on the show and was upset that her screen time was cut short.

RELATED: Kailyn Announces Twins’ Names

After all, she supposedly does not want to have to actually work to fund her lifestyle, even though she’s capable of getting a decent-paying job. Another source told In Touch Weekly that Kate does have a multi-state nursing license from the North Carolina Board of Nursing that expires in 2025.

But she’s reportedly had a really tough time accepting the fact that she might have to return to working as a nurse, which is truly unbelievable. That insider also claimed that Kate has been barely scraping by financially, and she has nobody around her to support her, either.

They said that she spends most of her time at home watching TV and has a surprisingly lonely lifestyle. Allegedly, Kate doesn’t really have any close friends, since her best friends were her kids. But now, the 23-year-old twins live and work in New York City and the 19-year-old sextuplets have either moved away or distanced themselves from Kate completely.

The In Touch Weekly source also shared that Kate doesn’t date, either, and one of the possible reasons for that is pretty crazy. Whenever she’s noticed by people out in public, it’s not totally uncommon for at least some of them to make negative comments toward her.

But she supposedly isn’t always recognized anymore for a crazy reason. Since Kate no longer has the cash to pay for Botox, fillers, and the glam squad that she allegedly used to have, she looks like a totally different person now. To tell you the truth, it sounds like Kate’s life has been seriously sad lately… 

But whose fault is that, exactly? If Kate had focused on simply being a good mom, she probably wouldn’t be in such a terrible situation right now. But because she cared more about being famous and making money than the well-being of her own kids, she continued to exploit them for years.

In a 2019 interview on The Dr. Oz Show, Jon accused Kate of making their kids film even when they didn’t want to. He said that all of the children had mentioned at least once that they felt like Kate had forced them to provide for themselves and her by appearing on TV.

RELATED: Who is Gypsy Rose’s Ex-Fiance

But what happened a month after the interview was honestly insane. That December, Kate was found in contempt of court for breaking rules that were set by the judge. Apparently, the judge who had worked on Kate and Jon’s custody case didn’t think that it was in the best interest of the children to film.

But Kate had broken the guidelines he put in place to protect the kids in a shocking way. Kate reportedly failed to give Jon a copy of the children’s filming schedule, which was supposed to be approved by both parents. But that wasn’t all… 

She also hadn’t gotten the proper filming permits for the sextuplets, who were minors at the time, which were necessary for them to make money for their appearances. Because Kate had violated the legal court order, she had to pay $1,500 to Jon in fees.

If she had broken the judge’s rules a second time, she could have actually ended up behind bars, but she wasn’t even given the chance to go against the order again. TLC fired Kate for the violations she made against her and Jon’s court order regarding their children.

Whether or not she had intended to keep the money the kids had earned for their appearances, she obviously wasn’t looking out for their best interests. And in the end, her money-hungry ways cost her the only career she wanted.

Kate’s latest court battle with Jon in an attempt to get more money from him is also bizarre, considering she’s done everything she can to slam him in the media. She tried to destroy his reputation in the spotlight, along with turning his own kids against him.

Kate Hasn’t Been Able to Afford Her Lifestyle

But now, she supposedly can’t afford her lifestyle without his financial help. It’ll be interesting to see what happens with Kate and Jon’s recent court case, considering their drama throughout the years. If he really does owe her money, I’m sure the judge will see that.

But if what Jon and his family have said is true, what Kate is asking for is beyond the amount he was ever required to pay. Of course, Kate could always consider selling her luxurious home and downsizing to a more affordable place. She currently lives in a lakefront house that she somehow purchased for $750,000.  

It has four bedrooms, five bathrooms, a pool, hot tub, and other extravagant amenities. Since Kate is living by herself now and is reportedly refusing to get a job, how exactly does she expect to keep staying in such a high-priced house?  We’ll have to wait and see how this all plays out for her… but as of right now, it’s definitely not looking good…

Kate used to be pretty successful in terms of reality TV fame, but that clearly went to her head. Now, she’s alone and nearly broke. But she did this to herself, by being greedy and prioritizing money over her children for years. It almost seems like this is her karma for exploiting her kids and going so hard against their father in the public eye.  

Are Nate Smith and Avril Lavigne Dating?

Avril Lavigne is allegedly dating Nate Smith.

People reported they went to dinner at a fancy restaurant in Los Angeles on January 29th. Inside sources claim they are just “good pals.” But Avril has a history of being “just friends” with guys she’s worked with, including guys she eventually married.

So, what’s really going on?

RELATED: Usher Gets Married

After they left Catch restaurant in West Hollywood on Monday night, TMZ published a Backgrid video of Avril and Nate. Nate and Avril were shown riding around the Hollywood side streets in the back of a pickup truck. 

Then they stopped at a gas station, and Avril started skateboarding down the street as Nate tried to follow along. Someone in the truck’s cab even got out and started singing Avril’s famous song, “Sk8ter Boi.”

That song is over twenty years old now, and Avril is 39. Nate is 38, and they’re both allegedly single right now, although they’ve both dated other famous people recently.

Avril and Nate Are Discussing a Music Project Together

Avril had been dating Tyga on and off since February 2023, and Entertainment Tonight confirmed it. In July 2023, Entertainment Tonight caught Avril and Tyga together in Las Vegas two weeks after sources alleged that they split up.

But People reported an exclusive from an inside source last October. Avril and Tyga ended it for good.

As for Nate, it was the worst-kept secret in country music last year that he was allegedly dating Savannah Chrisley when he appeared on her “Unlocked” podcast. In May 2023, Savannah told E! News that Nate was “literally the best,” and when he appeared on her podcast in January, they had been “talking” and “hanging out.” But when E! interviewed her, Savannah claimed it didn’t work out with Nate, and she blamed bad timing.

So, what’s the deal with Nate and Avril? An exclusive source told People that Avril and Nate are “discussing a music project together.”

TMZ even updated their original article with the video showing Avril and Nate skateboarding around the Hollywood streets. At 10:15 a.m. on January 30th, TMZ claimed that a “source with direct knowledge” told them Avril and Nate were just “good pals.” The TMZ source also said that Avril and Nate are just discussing “future music projects, and nothing more.”

But being “good pals” with Nate kind of sounds like something Avril once said about Chad Kroeger. People reported on Avril’s Instagram message when she claimed that she and Chad “are still, and forever will be, the best of friends.” In case you didn’t remember, Avril wrote that message about Chad after they announced they were getting a divorce.

Avril Has a Type: Fellow Musicians

In October 2023, after her alleged “official split” from Tyga, People dropped the bombshell about Avril’s dating history. The most shocking thing about Avril is that she seems to have a type: fellow musicians.

Avril has worked with many of the musicians she ended up dating in the past, and the real truth is that she was engaged to another musician the first time she was seen in public with Tyga. According to People, when Avril and Tyga were spotted together at the super-popular L.A. restaurant Nobu on February 19, 2023, an insider said: “Avril and Tyga are genuinely friends and nothing more.” 

Did the insider say that because Avril was already engaged to Mod Sun? Mod Sun’s real name is Derek Smith, and Avril met him when he worked on her album Love Sux. At the time, Avril told People she had a “very strong unstoppable connection” with Mod from the “first week of writing and working together.”

Mod and Avril dated for a year, and she accepted his proposal in March 2022. In an exclusive interview with People, Avril said: “It was the most perfect, romantic proposal I could ever ask for.”

But just one day after she was seen at Nobu with Tyga, another source set the record straight with People. The source claimed: “Avril and Mod Sun have been on and off for the past two months but are no longer together as a couple.” 

Shockingly, Mod didn’t see it that way. A rep for Mod told Page Six exclusively: “They were together and engaged as of three days ago when he left for tour, so if anything has changed, that’s news to him.”

Avril and Tyga Did Not Remain Friends

Only a week after she dumped Mod for Avril and her “friend,” Tyga, were spotted together in Paris. At the beginning of March 2023, Avril and Tyga showed up at the same time to Leonardo DiCaprio’s Parisian birthday party. 

Days later, they were photographed kissing at the entrance to a party held for Paris Fashion Week. So it was pretty obvious that Tyga and Avril weren’t just “friends” anymore. 

People spoke with a source of Avril’s who alleged that Tyga and Avril were getting to know each other. The source also said: “It’s very new. It’s very casual.”

RELATED: Saweetie and YG Have Broken Up

Then insider told another side to the story just a few weeks after Avril was with Tyga in France. This insider told People that Avril and Tyga were “very into each other” and were “spending a lot of time together.” 

They also alleged that Tyga and Avril were “still not exclusive” and “taking things very slowly to be on the safe side.” The couple wanted to get to know each other before “diving into something serious.”

Avril Stayed Friends With Chad After Their Divorce

Avril also dated a music producer named J.R. Rotem a couple of years after her divorce from Chad. J.R. isn’t as well-known as Avril’s other high-profile boyfriends, but when he posted a photo with Avril in the recording studio, it seemed to signal they were dating.  

Avril and J.R. weren’t together for long. He posted that photo to Instagram in August, and by October of the same year, they were no longer together.

Chad met Avril when they collaborated on a song for her fifth studio album. That was in February, and they allegedly began dating in July.

By August, Avril and Chad were engaged after allegedly dating for one month. Avril went on the Katie Couric show, and Katie couldn’t believe the size of Avril’s insane engagement ring.

One unusual thing about Avril and Chad is that they stayed really good friends after their divorce. They continued to work together on music, and Entertainment Tonight Canada interviewed them about their friendship after splitting up. It sounded crazy at the time, but Avril confirmed it.

So it’s pretty clear that Avril has a history of dating her musical friends and maybe even staying friends with some of them afterward.

Nate and Avril Were Spotted in Matching Outfits

Avril has been married twice. Before Chad, she was engaged to Deryck Whibley, the lead singer of Sum 41. Deryck and Avril got engaged when she was 21 years old, and they married at a private estate in Montecito, California, a year later.

By 2009, Avril’s first marriage was over, and an insider told People that she split with Deryck because they got “married too young.”

Because Nate is from Paradise, California, he lost his home during the devastating California wildfire season in 2018. Nate’s experience with a terrifying natural disaster inspired one of his songs, “One Of These Days.”

His song, “Wildfire,” became a viral hit on TikTok several years ago. After his initial success, Nate signed a record deal with Nashville’s Sony Music division, and he released singles called “Raised Up” and “I Don’t Wanna Go To Heaven.”

When they were spotted together at Catch, Avril and her “good pal” Nate were already dressing like a couple in matching black jackets, t-shirts, and jeans. Avril had a huge grin on her face, almost like she knew something we didn’t.

What’s Wrong With Kris Kristofferson

Decades ago, Kris Kristofferson began suffering from mysterious health problems. What’s worse is that Kris was misdiagnosed by his doctors and went years without proper treatment. The truth about Kris and what’s really wrong with him is shocking.

Kris is the songwriter behind legendary hits like “Me and Bobby McGee.” He was also a movie star next to famous leading ladies, including Barbra Streisand.

When Kris appeared at the Hollywood Bowl with Rosanne Cash in April 2023, his appearance was heartbreaking. Sources say it’s a miracle that Kris can still walk around, let alone perform in front of 17,000 people.

There’s one side of the story of Kris’s serious health issues. Then there’s the real truth.

His world started crashing down in 2006 when he starred in a movie called Disappearances. The movie might not be well-remembered, but sources allege that something happened to Kris behind the scenes that changed his life forever. Kris’s wife, Lisa, believes that Kris got infected with Lyme Disease while filming in the backwoods of Vermont.

Lyme Disease is a crippling illness. Its online support community is called LymeDisease.org. In the fall of 2016, Kris and Lisa’s interview appeared on the Lyme Disease website. 

Lisa described the many years that Kris had suffered from terrible symptoms that weren’t diagnosed properly. She told the interviewer, Dana Parish, that Kris had “massive, painful spasms all over his back and legs.” Lisa explained that Kris’s damaged nerve endings caused “golf-ball-sized, painful contractions.” 

They tried everything from heat treatments, massage, and acupuncture to a cortisone shot in Kris’s spine and even an antidepressant to try and relieve his symptoms. Lisa said the worst symptoms dragged on, and Kris was unable to work because of the pain. 

Kris Was Likely Bitten by an Infected Tick

She also explained how and why she believed this had happened to Kris. When Kris was shooting Disappearances, Lisa revealed that Kris had spent “six weeks in the woods” in remote Vermont, and “he was on the forest floor for much of the shoot.” Because Lyme Disease is contracted by humans from infected ticks, Kris would have been very exposed to these ticks in the forest during the making of the movie.

Shockingly, Lisa claimed that the doctors in Malibu, where they lived at the time, didn’t know enough about Lyme Disease, so he wasn’t correctly tested for Lyme Disease until 2016—an entire decade later.

Rolling Stone also interviewed Kris in 2016. According to Rolling Stone, Kris “couldn’t even remember what he was doing from one moment to the next.” Kris even started writing a song about it but then forgot about writing the song.

Lisa took Kris to doctor after doctor, and he was told the same things, but it wasn’t the real truth. Every doctor claimed that Kris’s memory loss was due to Alzheimer’s disease or, maybe, dementia since Kris had boxed and played football earlier in his life and got a few blows to his head.  

Lisa revealed in the interview with Dana that Kris was told he had severe sleep apnea and a heart condition called “arrhythmia,” or an irregular heartbeat. Kris was prescribed a CPAP machine for his supposed condition, but Lisa said he refused to use the machine after one try. Kris also got a pacemaker for the heart condition, and Lisa said he took “so much Advil for headaches that he got anemic.”

She told Rolling Stone that Kris “was taking all these medications for things” he didn’t have. Lisa alleged that all those medications had side effects that also affected him.

Lisa Was Told To Say Goodbye

Kris has been through many serious health challenges in his life, and Rolling Stone described one shocking incident between Kris and Lisa outside an operating room. This happened in 1999, years before Kris allegedly got infected with Lyme Disease in Vermont. He had to undergo heart bypass surgery, and on his way to the operating room, the doctor made an unbelievable suggestion. 

According to Kris, the doctor told him and Lisa “that this would be a good place to say goodbye.”

Lisa told the doctor: “I hope it’s not goodbye.” 

But Kris said: “So what if it is?” 

Thankfully, he made it through his heart bypass surgery.

By 2015, Lisa had grown frustrated with how badly Kris was doing. She told Dana: “After a year of iron supplements and seeing a hematologist, he just wasn’t healthy-looking.”

So, Lisa took a drastic step. She booked an examination for Kris with Dr. Mark Filidei at the Whitaker Wellness Institute, and the results were truly shocking.

After examining Kris and watching the constant twitching of his forearm muscles, Dr. Filidei suspected that Kris had Lyme disease. Two blood tests later, he finally received a formal diagnosis in February 2016.

Lisa was even more shocked by what happened to Kris after he stopped taking other medications for Alzheimer’s and depression and started treatment for Lyme disease. She told Rolling Stone: “All of a sudden he was back,” although Lisa admitted: “There are still bad days.”

Kris Now Spends His Time Riding His Tractor

OK! Magazine updated us on Kris’s health in April 2023. Since the outbreak of the pandemic in 2020, Kris claimed he was “officially retired” and living with Lisa in Hawaii. In the OK! article, the writer claimed that Kris was living his “brave last days,” and he was still battling Lyme disease. 

But Kris didn’t sound like he was done with living just yet. He told OK!: “I spend most of my time on my tractor, mowing the grass around there.” Kris called it his “therapy” and joked: “No one can mess with me on the tractor.”

Kris also recalled exciting times as a young man, like winning a Rhodes Scholarship to study at Oxford University in England. He said: “I got to get really involved in William Blake and Shakespeare.”

After studying at Oxford, Kris became a U.S. Army helicopter pilot. During his service in West Germany, Kris formed a band, but after six years in the military, he left the army for good. Kris told OK! that his parents were so angry about him quitting the army that they disowned him.

Kris also told a sad tale about his relationship with the legendary Janis Joplin. He said: “I guess Janis doing ‘Bobby McGee’ was one that moved me profoundly.” Kris confessed that he’d had a romantic relationship with Janis before she passed away.

The first time Kris heard Janis’s cover of ‘Bobby McGee,’ he said, “It blew me away.” But sadly, Janis was already gone.

Kris Has Chosen the Words on His Tombstone

Lisa is Kris’s third wife. He was married to Fran Beer and Rita Coolidge before that. He also has eight children. 

During his Rolling Stone interview, Kris claimed: “I really have no anxiety about controlling my own life.” Kris also admitted to feeling lucky that his life had lasted for so long because he said: “I’ve done so many things that could have knocked me out of it.”

RELATED: The Tragedy of Patrick Swayze’s Secret Son 

Kris appears to believe in a higher power. He said, “I just always have the feeling that He knows what He’s doing. It’s been good so far, and it’ll probably continue to be.”

The OK! article claimed that Kris is more “realistic” about his current direction in life and already has “the words he wants for his tombstone.” The words are from an acclaimed song by Leonard Cohen called “Bird On a Wire.” It goes: “Like a bird on the wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir, I have tried, in my way, to be free.”
