Snoop Dogg’s daughter, Cori Broadus, appears to be recovering after the stroke she had in mid-January. She recently posted an Instagram story of herself walking around a suburban neighborhood.
According to the Daily Mail, she shared the video just days after getting out of the hospital. In the video, she was walking by herself without any assistance. Cori shared with her followers that she was exhausted but so proud of herself. She added that she was gaining her strength back slowly but surely.
TMZ reported that later that same day, Cori attended her first public event since her hospitalization. Snoop Dogg and Cori went to Charlie Wilson’s 71st birthday party together.
She uploaded pictures and videos from the event on her Instagram and captioned one of the posts by saying, ‘Honey, I’m Home. Cori was wearing a lilac purple sweatshirt, a pair of Ugg slippers, and a necklace.
She shared a photo of herself with the guest of honor, Charlie, and called him her ‘favorite’ in the caption. One of her other Instagram videos included a clip of her dad performing his hit, 2 Of Amerikaz Most Wanted, at the event.
He reportedly sang both his and Tupac Shakur’s verses.
Cori Told Her Story on Social Media
According to People Magazine, Cori has used her experience to encourage her Instagram followers to listen to their bodies. In a story she shared earlier this week, she explained that just before her stroke, she experienced several warning symptoms. They included blurry vision, nausea, fatigue, and a really bad headache on the right side of her head.
She added that she was glad she was still around and able to tell her story. Cori also revealed that her blood pressure was really high before she had her stroke. She said she’d been trying to keep track of it by logging her levels every day.
The Los Angeles Times reported that Cori was in the hospital for a week before she was finally allowed to go home. She let her followers know that she was headed home in an Instagram story after finding out that a CT scan of her chest had come back normal.
Cori confessed that she was so happy about going home that she could cry. She thanked everyone for their continuous prayers and love. Hours later, she shared a photo of a welcome home banner that was up in the living room.
Snoop Dogg gave his own update on Cori’s health in a People Magazine interview at the L.A. premiere of The Underdoggs. He told the news outlet that she was doing a little better. The interviewer asked him if the health scare had put life in perspective for him, and he confirmed that it had.
Lupus Increased Cori’s Risk of Stroke
Only a week earlier, Cori had posted a picture of herself in a hospital room on Instagram. Cori confessed that she broke down crying when the doctors told her that she’d had a stroke.
She pointed out that she was only 24 and asked what she’d done in her past to deserve it. Cori was diagnosed with lupus when she was just six years old.
According to the Lupus Foundation of America, it’s an autoimmune disease, so instead of fighting infections, the immune system attacks healthy tissue. It’s a condition that can cause inflammation and pain in any part of the body, including the kidneys, joints, brain, heart, lungs, and skin.
In a report about Cori’s hospitalization, Page Six reported that because Lupus has the ability to affect so many organs, it is also able to increase the risk of a stroke.
On January 30th, The Ashley’s Reality Roundup reported exclusive details of a reunion that was 13 years in the making.
Jenelle Evans‘ son, Jace Evans, has finally reconnected with his father, Andrew Lewis. Their face-to-face encounter was also reported by The U.S. Sun. The Sun’s report said that Andrew Charles Lewis returned to North Carolina during the week of January 22nd.
Andrew is currently 38 years old. He also confirmed his return to North Carolina when he posted photos of himself on social media. According to The Sun, it was the first time that Andrew had seen Jace since “he was an infant on MTV’s 16 and Pregnant.”
Andrew Seemed to Lose Interest in His Son, Jace
While The Ashley’s source alleged that “Jace was happy” about seeing Andrew, their meeting did not happen in an informal setting. The face-to-face meeting between Jace and Andrew allegedly occurred during a courtroom hearing last week. Jenelle and her mother, Barbara, are currently involved in a CPS custody case over Jace. It is alleged that Andrew has been included in Jace’s CPS file as a witness.
The Ashley reported earlier in January that Andrew was attempting to rebuild a relationship with his son. Allegedly, Andrew and Jace had exchanged phone calls, and Andrew had also sent Jace “a few letters.”
Another exclusive report from The Ashley claimed that Andrew “seemed to lose interest” in rebuilding a relationship with Jace. The Ashley’s source alleged, “Andrew has kind of ‘peaced out’ again.” They further explained, “Andrew seemed to lose interest, and so did Jace.”
The Ashley’s source also said, “The novelty of talking to his dad wore off for Jace, and he doesn’t really care whether or not his dad is in his life now.”
Andrew did appear in court before this, but his appearance at a hearing for Jace in December 2023 was via video chat. A source told The Ashley that Andrew was “acting really weird” during that video call. At one point, the judge had to tell Andrew to “pipe down” or he could get “thrown out.”
Still, Andrew’ was called to appear in person at a hearing for Jace in January.
A Judge Threatened to Remove Andrew from the CPS Process
The Ashley’s source also confirmed that Andrew can now visit Jace and speak with him over the phone. The source added that any information provided by Andrew during the court hearing “may not carry much weight” with the judge since Andrew hasn’t taken an active role in raising his son.
Sources for The Sun allege that Andrew was included in Jace’s CPS file “since he’s his father and could potentially have a claim for custody.” But The Ashley’s source claimed that Andrew has no plans to seek custody of Jace.
On April 24, 2023, The Sun published an interview with Andrew. At that time, Andrew claimed that his “greatest desire” was to see Jace again. Andrew pleaded, “Please let me see Jace. That’s all I ever wanted.” He also claimed that his whole family, including his cousin, nephew, niece, and his sister, all wanted to meet Jace.
The Ashley reported further details of Andrew’s behavior during his video appearance in court last December. The outlet’s source alleged that Andrew kept “interrupting the judge during the hearing and also butted in while others involved in the case were speaking.”
The source also claimed, “It was getting to the point where no one could answer questions without an interruption from Andrew.” The judge had to tell Andrew, “If he did it again, he wouldn’t be a part of the process.” In the source’s opinion, Andrew “was lucky to even get to be there.”
The Ashley did report last month that Jace is “thrilled at the possibility of having his dad in his life.”

That’s So Raven star Orlando Brown caused quite a scene last weekend during an outburst at a Los Angeles restaurant. In footage obtained by TMZ, Orlando can be seen screaming obscenities at an employee of Tao Los Angeles on Sunday night.
Among the other wild accusations he threw at the server, the troubled actor said that the employee was “Satan.” In his tirade, Orlando also referred to himself as “Jesus,” yelling “Get behind me,” at the employee, all while filming the target of his outburst with his phone. The 36-year-old was soon ejected from the premises while continuing to shout expletives at the onlookers.
Page Six reportedly reached out to representatives for both Orlando and the Tao restaurant for comment. However, the outlet stated that neither had so far returned their request.
TMZ reported that other diners at Tao claimed that the incident started when Orlando “started acting up at his table.” The outlet was then told that the actor started “shouting at other patrons.” After staff approached Orlando to calm the situation, he started to berate them as the footage shows.
Orlando Brown’s Troubled History
This is the latest in many upsetting incidents involving the former Disney star, who has long struggled with alleged mental health and substance problems.
In 2018, Page Six reported that he was arrested for trying to change the locks on the doors of his friend Danny Boy’s restaurant. He was subsequently sentenced to 45 days in jail after pleading no contest. Several months earlier, he pleaded no contest to a possession charge.
A couple of years later, Orlando made a startling appearance on Dr Phil. Page Six reported that Orlando’s friend had called the show because of what was described as his “mental problems.” His friend went on to say, “He’s burnt so many bridges no one wants to deal with him.”
While on Dr Phil, Orlando wore snake eye contact lenses and claimed he was the son of Michael Jackson. His friend also said that he had previously claimed that he owned Neverland.
After another arrest in 2022, it was revealed by TMZ that Orlando was “homeless” at the time. Police told the outlet that they had been informed that Orlando’s brother Matthew had allowed Orlando to stay at a home he was renovating. This was allegedly because his family “didn’t want him to go to a homeless shelter.”
After Orlando pleaded not guilty, his attorney requested that he undergo a mental evaluation.
TMZ reported that despite Orlando’s personal problems, he has recently been working again. Last year, he was a cast member of the Zeus Network reality show Bad Boys: Texas. However, it doesn’t look like getting back to work has helped Orlando face his personal demons.
USA Today reported that on January 26th, the District Attorney of Nashville released a statement concerning the recent arrest of Chris Young. DA Glenn Funk said, “After a review of all the evidence in this case, the office of the District Attorney has determined that these charges will be dismissed.”
On the evening of January 22nd, Chris was detained in Nashville by agents from the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission (ABC). This followed an alleged incident at the Dawg House Saloon on Demonbreun Street.
During this incident, the agents alleged that Chris behaved in a disorderly manner and resisted arrest. An agent also claimed that Chris had physically confronted him when he attempted to leave the Dawg House Saloon.
Chris was charged with three misdemeanors. NBC affiliate WSMV in Nashville reported on Chris’ arrest after obtaining a copy of the affidavit.
According to the arrest affidavit, the agents first encountered Chris and his friends at the popular Tin Roof live music establishment next to the Dawg House. Agents entered the Tin Roof at approximately 8:30 pm on Monday. They claimed that Chris had his ID in his hand above his head, and the agents scanned Chris’ ID for accuracy before they walked away.
At this point, the agents claimed that Chris “started asking questions.” The agents then claimed that Chris and several friends followed them into the Dawg House Saloon. The affidavit stated that officers also did a compliance check at the Dawg House.
Agents alleged that Chris got physical with them when they attempted to leave the Dawg House Saloon. One agent alleged that Chris tried to stop him from leaving the bar and allegedly struck the agent on the shoulder. The affidavit also alleged that Chris had slurred speech and bloodshot, watery eyes.
Chris Young’s Attorney Bill Disputed the Charges
After the alleged confrontation, Chris was detained by the agents and handcuffed. He was later released on bonds totaling $2,500 for the three misdemeanor charges. According to USA Today, Chris was scheduled to appear in court on February 16th until Glenn Funk formally dropped the charges on January 26th.
Bill Ramsey is Chris’ attorney. On Wednesday, January 24th, Bill released a statement about the alleged incident two days earlier.
Bill’s statement, shared by the Los Angeles Times, stated Chris should never have been arrested. He claimed that what happened to Chris on January 22nd was wrong. Chris’ lawyer also said that the Tennessee ABC should apologize to Chris for any “physical, emotional and professional harm” done to him.
Bill also released video footage that appeared to clear Chris of any wrongdoing, according to the LA Times. This footage was taken at the Dawg House on the evening of Monday, January 22nd, and includes several angles of the inside of the Saloon. While portions of the video footage show Chris and the agents, none of the footage released by Bill shows the altercation that allegedly took place.
A part of the footage showed Chris reaching out to an agent, but then the agent appeared to shove Chris. Chris then appeared to lose his footing and was shown tripping over a barstool and falling to the ground. He got up, put his arms out to his side, and backed away from the agent.
All of the footage released by Bill appears to show that the alleged incident never took place.
The Tennessee ABC Agents Were Not in “Obvious Uniforms”
NewsChannel 5 in Nashville obtained security video footage from the Dawg House Saloon. Billboard shared that NewsChannel 5 reporter Nick Beres also shared the footage on his verified Facebook account.
Nick also explained on Facebook why Chris had questioned the agents when they approached him at the Tin Roof. He learned this detail from reading Bill’s statement about Chris’ allegedly false arrest.
According to Bill, Chris questioned the agents at the Tin Roof because he wanted to confirm the identity of men asking to see his ID. Since the agents weren’t “in obvious uniforms,” Chris wanted proof that the men really were agents with the Tennessee ABC.
Bill also thanked DA Glenn Funk in his statement on January 26th. He said, “Mr. Young and I are gratified with the DA’s decision clearing him of the charges and any wrongdoing.”
Now that his name has been cleared, Chris can go forward with new music. His album, “Young Love & Saturday Nights,” will be released on March 22nd.

Chelsea Houska recently shared her heartbreak with her fans on social media. The US Sun reported that the Teen Mom 2 star took to Instagram to reveal the news that her family had lost their pet pig, Pete, who tragically passed away. Chelsea’s post included a photograph of Pete along with a clip of Chelsea picking up her pet from the airport.
The clip shows Chelsea collecting Pete with her then-boyfriend, now husband Cole DeBoer. At one point in the video, the reality star can be heard saying, “We have a child now.” She then added, “Don’t make me be a single mom again,” to which Cole said he wouldn’t.
Along with the picture and video, Chelsea’s post continued her tribute to her late pet. She wrote, “I’m not great with words, which is why I usually like to keep it simple, but this felt like one of those times I needed to at least try to elaborate how I was feeling.”
Chelsea did elaborate, writing that Pete’s passing was “a tremendous loss” to her family. She explained, ”I think this one stings extra because Pete symbolized more than just a pet. Pete symbolized a new chapter in mine and Aubree’s life.” Chelsea was referring to her daughter, who had first met Pete when she was young.
Cole Shared Aubree and Chelsea’s Love for Pete
In her post, Chelsea went on to say, “I have dreamed of having a farm for a very very long time.” She continued, “I dreamed of having a big family, a loving husband, and a farm full of funny animals. Pete was the first.”
She went on to talk about how much her husband supported her dream of owning farm animals. Chelsea said, “Cole was totally on board with my silly idea of getting a pig.” She explained, “We now have a silly little farm, with many funny animals and a handful more kids – everything I dreamed of having.
But the MTV alumni couldn’t help but mourn the loss of “the first” addition to her farmyard family, Pete. She ended her tribute by writing, “I hope there’s endless belly scratches in heaven.”
The outlet shared that the day after Chelsea shared her post, her husband also took to social media to pay his respects.
He wrote on his Instagram account, “We say goodbye to a member of our family. Pete was a piece of our beginning.” Cole added that he and their pet pig shared “a daily bond that I cherished for almost 10 years and will never forget.” He finished his post admitting that “this one really hurts” and described Pete as “an everyday piece of my life.”
Among the pictures Cole posted was one of Chelsea’s daughter Aubree with Pete as he lay on his side for a “chance for a belly scratch.”
Although they are grieving the loss of their beloved pet, Cole and Chelsea still have many others to take care of at their farmhouse. The couple are continuing to build their dream home while raising four kids, as seen on their reality show Down Home Fab.

Morgan Wallen’s ex-fiance and baby mama, KT Smith, has faced many changes and challenges in 2023.
She was born Katie Dell Smith in Key West, Florida. KT and Morgan got engaged in 2019, but their romantic relationship was over just a year later. She’s also the mother of his son, three-year-old Indigo Wilder Wallen.
From a new boyfriend in her life to a serious car accident, KT has experienced many ups and downs this year.
KT’s Adopted Dog Bit Her Son, Indigo
According to the US Sun, Indigo went through a traumatic situation earlier this year that involved the family dog, Legend. On June 18, 2023, Legend bit Indigo in the face.
KT revealed in an Instagram story that she had to rush her son to the emergency room. She wrote, in part, that Indigo “had to have stitches, and we spent yesterday morning at the emergency room.”
Thankfully, KT also revealed that her son would be “ok,” but the dog bite and subsequent stitches on his face might leave Indigo with a small scar.
The US Sun reported that KT expressed gratitude for her followers in her post on social media. She wrote, “Thank you guys again for helping but for also crying with me and lifting me up.”
KT is focused on being the best mother to Indigo, but she’s also revealed that she and Legend “kind of saved each other” after KT rescued Legend, a Great Pyrenees dog, in April 2022.
KT Rehomed Legend
After Legend bit her son, KT was left with a devastating decision. She wrote on social media, “What the world tells you to do is to put the dog down because they are aggressive.” But KT also wrote that Legend “does not deserve that because he is wonderful and could do really great with a family who doesn’t have small children.”
KT revealed that Legend is not aggressive towards older kids or adults. In fact, she believes that having a young child like Indigo in the home frightened the dog and caused him to react by biting.
The outlet shared that KT took action and found a local family who said they would love to accept Legend into their home. She wrote, “We just dropped Legend off with the sweetest family.”
It turns out that Legend’s new family lives on a farm close to where KT lives in east Tennessee. KT wrote that Legend “will be living out his full potential and best life on a farm.” She also said that she and Indigo will be free to visit Legend anytime they need to.
KT Is Thankful to Be Alive Following Her Car Crash
On February 22, 2023, KT experienced another scary situation. KT was involved in a bad car accident in Nashville. Fox News reported that she explained what happened on Instagram with a shocking post and graphic images.
Her car was totaled in the accident, and KT suffered facial injuries. According to the outlet, she wrote on social media, “thankful to be alive.”
KT also tagged her friends Gabriella Payant and Caden McGuire in her post, as Caden and Gabriella were allegedly with KT in her car when the accident happened.
She also wrote that a doctor had been in the area directly after the crash. KT said that the doctor told her that she and her friends “shouldn’t be alive.”
After they were taken by ambulance to the hospital, KT revealed that Caden sat in her hospital room and prayed with her. Even though, as KT wrote on social media, Caden was “not even completely stitched up” yet.
After the Accident, KT Looked Like a Demogorgan
KT shared images of her face as she lay in her hospital bed on Instagram. It was clear to see that the right side of her face was severely swollen and bruised. She even found the courage to joke about her injuries, calling herself a “demogorgan” in one photo of her injuries.
In the comments, KT explained what happened, writing, “Some semi ran a red light and demolished us.” Fox News reported that KT confirmed she had been behind the wheel of her car that night.
She also admitted to being confused about why the right side of her body had been more badly injured than her left side. She wrote online, “My face is basically broken, and I can’t walk on my right side.”
But KT had a theory about the accident. It appears that her vehicle rolled multiple times after being hit by the semi-truck. She wrote, “It must have been from spinning so many times or the airbags.”
Thankfully, KT appears to have healed fully by June 2023.
According to Taste of Country, she posted a photo on social media showing herself with a blue bandage on her cheek. KT uploaded this photo, along with a few other images, to update us on Indigo’s progress after his dog bite injury. She calls her little boy indie and revealed that she was wearing “matching face bandaids” with her “lil man so he feels normal.”
KT also shared a sweet picture of Legend in his new home. She wrote that legend had “taken over the bed at his new home and is loving the goats so far.”
Morgan and KT Get Along for the Sake of Her Son
But KT revealed even more personal details last June. She’s been dating a new boyfriend named Luke Scornavacco. After she had to rehome Legend, Luke gave KT a special gift.
She took a picture of what he gave to her. Taste of Country shared the photo KT uploaded to social media with the caption, “And for the most thoughtful angel of a boyfriend.”
The photo shows framed photos of KT and Luke and KT and Legend. Luke had also gifted KT with beautiful flowers.
Morgan has spoken with People Magazine about how he and KT get along now for the sake of their son, saying, “We’re doing our best to figure it out, just trying to do the best we can with the situation.”
Her new boyfriend, Luke, is in the public eye for the same reason as Morgan. He rose to fame on TikTok because of his musical talent. Luke currently has over 800,000 followers.
Luke Scornavacco and KT Are Popular on Social Media
The 21-year-old met KT when they started messaging back and forth on Instagram. They began dating officially sometime between the summer and fall of 2023.
Luke enjoys posting TikTok videos that feature KT. He even uploaded a tribute music video for a Hayden Coffman song where he and KT dance around together.
Luke is also a big fan of Morgan. He’s posted cover versions of some Morgan songs on his TikTok.
Born and raised in Colorado, Luke has since moved to Nashville for personal and professional reasons. He wants to take a shot at country music stardom. Luke also moved to Tennessee to be closer to KT and Indigo, who live in Knoxville.
The pair are both popular on social media. KT does more than just modeling and being an influencer. Her blog is still active, and she uses her blog platform to inform and inspire readers to be better versions of themselves.
Although they’ve had setbacks this year, life looks bright for KT and Indigo.
Did you know that Morgan Wallen just released new music?
Morgan is speaking out. He’s alleging that this is old music being released in January by an old record label. Morgan does not approve. He claims that the tracks being released are ten years old and that this is being done against his wishes.
In 2014, Morgan said he went to Florida to try his hand at making original music and songwriting for the first time in his career. He met a person in Florida that he called a “local investor.” He signed a record deal and an “artist management deal” with this person.
Morgan now says he “deeply regrets” that decision. He also said, “Unfortunately, I signed both deals without any legal representation.”
While he was under contract with his old label, Morgan said, “We made 13 songs.” He gave his honest opinion about those old songs. Morgan said, “Some were ok,” but he claimed, “Most were terrible as I was just learning how to write in general and figuring it all out.”
Morgan revealed he was not the only collaborator on this old music. So he said, “Many of these songs were not my idea nor to my standards.” Morgan claimed, “We deemed five worthy enough to make the Stand Alone EP.”
Morgan’s Ex-label Is Releasing a 10th Aniversary Edition of Stand Alone
He admitted that the Stand Alone EP does contain a “fan favorite” called “Spin You Around.” Morgan announced that he is releasing a new version of “Spin You Around.”
After giving the backstory, Morgan revealed why he’s unhappy with his ex-label for releasing old music now. He wrote, “These colleagues I parted ways with almost ten years ago plan to release a ‘10th Anniversary’ edition of Stand Alone.” The scheduled release is sometime on January 26th on major digital streaming platforms.
Morgan also said the ‘10th Anniversary’ edition contains eight previously unreleased songs. This old music is being distributed with the assistance of Morgan’s former managers.
Morgan clearly stated that he had tried to stop this release from happening. He wrote, “For months, I’ve been exploring every avenue possible to acquire the rights to this old music and keep the quality of my catalog consistent with songs I choose to release and believe in.”
Morgan Is Taking Some Downtime
Morgan described this as “an example of how the dark side of the music business can suck the soul out of artists.” He also described this situation as “gross and greedy.”
Morgan spoke directly to his followers. He wrote, “I want you to know this is NOT my new music.” He claimed he didn’t want to see this happen to “anyone else.”
Morgan said he cringes when he listens to the songs on that 10th Anniversary edition. He’s also concerned that fans will mistakenly believe the material is a new release.
Morgan did have some good news to share on social media. He wrote that he will begin to record his next project at the end of February. Morgan wrote, “I’m feeling inspired creatively and super excited to make more music I’m proud of.”
He mentioned that he’s taking some downtime. He’s going duck hunting in the woods before recording new music.
Morgan also announced a special project with his new version of “Spin You Around.” Morgan wrote that while he’s “in the woods duck hunting,” an artist will design cover art for his new version of “Spin You Around.”
Wallen Plans to Release New Music in 2024
If you didn’t know, Morgan also runs a foundation.
Countrytown reported that Morgan is donating $100,000 from the Morgan Wallen Foundation to the VLPA program. This stands for Volunteer Lawyers and Professionals For The Arts.
Morgan wants “young, aspiring musicians” to read what happened to him. He believes that no one should have to give up their creative freedom just to get an opportunity in the music business. Young musicians can look at Morgan’s success in country music and be inspired.
His album, One Thing at a Time, contained an astonishing 36 tracks. The day that album was released, it broke a record in the U.S. that was previously held by the R&B superstar Drake. The outlet explained that Morgan broke the record when all 36 tracks on One Thing at a Time entered the Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously.
The album also ended a streak by Metallica that lasted over three decades. For 32 years, every new Metallica release had debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 album chart, but One Thing at a Time ended that streak.
Morgan is popular around the globe, too. Last year in Australia, he broke a record previously held by Billy Ray Cyrus for the longest-running number one in the country. Morgan traveled down under to celebrate his success.
Now, country music fans worldwide can look forward to brand-new music from Morgan in 2024.
He explained that he brought Nelly out to New York City for his Verzuz performance with Ja Rule. Ashanti was invited too, and she and Nelly sang their 2002 hit single What’s Luv?
The duo ended their performance with a hug. Fat Joe said that when they saw each other, that energy connected again.
Complex reported that he also talked about how he’d recently Facetimed with Nelly and Ashanti, saying they looked ‘happily ever after’ together. He mentioned that he’d heard the rumor that Ashanti is pregnant and then joked that he needed 10 percent of their kid because if it wasn’t for him, they wouldn’t have met up again.
He went on to say that it was at his event that Nelly said he had to have her. The outlet shared that he was contemplating and he really wanted to go over to her.
According to Fat Joe, he eventually went to speak to Ashanti, and that’s what started the conversation between them. He also added that he didn’t know why they’d fallen out in the first place.
Nelly’s Presence Was a Shock for Ashanti
Ashanti gave her version of events when she went on The Angie Martinez Show. She said that the crazy part was that Fat Joe didn’t say anything to her.
She later asked him why he hadn’t told her that Nelly was going to be at the Verzuz event. Fat Joe reportedly said that it was because he couldn’t risk her not coming if she knew he was going to be there.
Ashanti confessed that Nelly’s presence was a shock for her. It was very unexpected; she hadn’t seen or spoken to him in six years or more. She admitted that it was a little awkward.
In early 2023, HipHopDX reported that a side-by-side photo shared on social media of Ashanti and Nelly wearing matching chains had sparked dating rumors.
Months later, an article in People Magazine talked about how those rumors were reignited after a video of them holding hands began circulating online.
Then, in May, Atlanta Black Star claimed that there was online speculation about how Ashanti could be pregnant.
She was performing in Las Vegas at the Palms Casino Resort when Nelly surprised her on stage. The source reported that Twitter users commented on a video of the performance, saying that it looked like Ashanti had a baby bump.
In September, the pair officially confirmed that they were back together. After getting a new car from Ashanti for his Birthday, Nelly shared a photo of it on Instagram.
Kailyn Lowry just spoke out about her experience with her newborn twins being in the NICU. She opened up about this on the January 26th episode of her podcast Barely Famous where the guest was her boyfriend, Elijah Scott.
She has explained, on a previous episode of the same podcast, that the twins were born prematurely. They were born five weeks early and were admitted to the NICU. On this week’s episode, Kailyn went into more detail about the details of their NICU stay.
She explained that the twins went straight to the NICU after their birth. She said she and Elijah didn’t get the chance to hold the babies until more than 24 hours later. Kailyn went on to explain that the twins’ stay in the NICU wasn’t just for a couple of days; they had to stay there for several weeks.
Kailyn’s Daughter Didn’t Show Signs of Hunger
She also explained that she found some things very concerning during that time. Kailyn hasn’t announced the names of her twins yet, but she has said that one of them is a boy and one is a girl. It was her daughter in particular that she was most worried about during their NICU stay.
She explained that the twins’ behavior and symptoms at the time were significantly different from each other. Especially worrying to Kailyn was the fact that her daughter didn’t show signs of hunger.
She said that her daughter would sleep all the time and wouldn’t even wake up when it was time for feeding. Kailyn explained that this was something she had never seen before in her life. She said that she tried feeding her daughter but she just wouldn’t take the bottle.
This was especially worrying to Kailyn because, at that same time, her son didn’t have the same problem. She said he had no problem waking up for feeding and would drink from a bottle.
What made her really concerned for her daughter was the fact that both of the twins were in the NICU for some of the same reasons. Later, when her son was released from the NICU, the situation also became logistically difficult for her and Elijah. She explained that her son was released first, while her daughter had to stay in the NICU for a while longer.
Elijah and Kailyn Spent Hours at The Hospital
That meant she and Elijah had one newborn at home that they had to take care of, along with their five older kids. At the same time, they still had another newborn at the hospital.
Kailyn and Elijah explained that this was especially difficult because the hospital was an hour’s drive away from their home. Elijah said that every day, at least one of them would travel to the hospital to be with their daughter.
Kailyn said that when she visited, she would spend hours there with her. That left Elijah to care for their other baby, as well as all the other kids by himself.
Kailyn explained that she was also concerned about how the situation didn’t allow her daughter to bond properly with everyone. Her daughter was forced to spend time apart from her twin, and Kailyn couldn’t bond with her as well as she wanted to, either. She said that she even broke down about the situation while at the hospital one time.
Eventually, even her daughter was released from the NICU. At present, she and Elijah have both of the twins at home. Kailyn said that since her daughter came home, her bonding experience with her has been much better.
She explained that there are still worries that she hasn’t fully resolved. For example, the fact that the twins’ bond with each other was strained by having to spend so much time apart. Kailyn said that she was working to fix that, and overall, things seem to be looking up for her family.
But where did she come from?Why wasn’t she harmed by Gypsy’s mom, too?And why has she been talking about Gypsy so much? Does she want fame by publicly associating with her sister now after all these years?
When Mia started popping out everywhere and talking about her sister, many people had questions: Like – where was she all this time? How did Gypsy Rose really feel about her sister? And did she also suffer at the hands of Gypsy’s mom, Dee Dee?
Did Mia Blanchard and Gypsy Rose Grow Up Together?
Well, the truth is that she didn’t, because she and Gypsy are actually half-sisters. Dee Dee isn’t Mia’s mom. Rod Blanchard, Gypsy’s dad, is Mia’s dad.
Rod and Dee Dee got together when he was still in high school. He was 17, while Dee Dee was already 24. She got pregnant just a couple of months into their relationship. They got married and had Gypsy. Unfortunately, Rod soon realized that he didn’t actually love Dee Dee.
He left her and he met his current wife, Kristy. Kristy and Rod got married and they had two kids together – Mia and Dylan. Mia was born in 2001, which means that she’s only 22 years old.
Her sister Gypsy is about 10 years older than her, but they still seem to have a really strong bond.
After Gypsy was released from prison, her family threw her a welcome party. Mia shared some photos from that party on her Instagram, including a photo of her and Gypsy standing close together and smiling. In the caption, Mia wrote:“the sweetest hello, welcome home sister.”
Gypsy then actually also shared the photo of her and Mia on her Instagram, and she captioned the post with “sister love.”
Is There More to Gypsy Rose and Mia’s Relationship?
So it’s clear that these two appear to have a loving relationship and to be happy to be reunited after all these years. But is Mia actually just happy to have her sister back? Or is there something more to it all? Could she be chasing the spotlight?
Like I said, Rod and Kristy had two kids together…Mia and Dylan…
What’s interesting is that Dylan isn’t really in the spotlight at all. He’s not super active on social media or anything like that. Mia, on the other hand, IS pretty active, and she’s also been sharing her thoughts and opinions on Gypsy’s life.
But why are the siblings so different? Is it just because Dylan prefers to keep his life private, while Mia is more outgoing?Or does Mia secretly want fame?
It’s honestly hard to say…
Because some of the things she’s said about Gypsy are a little strange…
Mia Has Made Comments About Gypsy Rose’s Husband
For example, she publicly admitted that she wished Gypsy wouldn’t have married her husband so soon. Gypsy married Ryan Scott Anderson in 2022. She was still serving time back then. So, when she was released, she was ready to start her married life with Ryan right away.
And apparently, Mia wasn’t a huge fan of that idea. “I kind of wish she would have just waited so she can live at home with mom and dad. It would be easier for family time,” she said.
Mia added that it would be easier for her and Dylan to create a bond with Gypsy if she lived with them instead of Ryan. She said that they were robbed of that bond and it’s just not going to be the same as if she lived with them after her release.
Rod and Kristy seemingly agreed with this. Mia admitted to all this in a Lifetime docuseries titled “The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard.” And honestly, this part of what she had to say about Gypsy and Ryan’s marriage was kind of understandable.
She WAS still saying that she wished Gypsy wouldn’t have married someone she loved, but you can see why she would feel that way. She just wanted time with her sister, even if it was a little weird for her to speak out against her sister’s marriage.
But this wasn’t all that Mia had to say about it, and the other thing she said was kind of strange too…
“She doesn’t know what it’s like to live with a man and I’m just worried it’ll end in divorce,” she added. I understand why this might’ve been a worry for Mia, but why would she say this publicly?Why not just share her worries with Gypsy instead of calling her out like that?
I feel like she should’ve been a little more supportive of Gypsy. And this definitely made me think that she could just be interested in the spotlight.
But Mia then explained her statement a little more: “I don’t want to make her feel like I don’t support her or that she’s still being controlled, but I never met him.”
I feel like that explains a lot…As Gypsy’s sister, Mia probably felt protective of her, and she didn’t know if she could trust this man that she’d never even met before. After she finally met him, she said that she felt more at ease about the whole thing.
She said that she was still worried that this was all happening too fast, but at the end of the day, she didn’t want to keep Gypsy from doing anything. She just wanted her to live her life — because she still had a whole life to experience… after everything that happened.
Mia Is Aware That Gypsy Was Robbed of a Childhood
It seems like, while Mia had her reservations about the marriage, she did her best to support Gypsy, and she appears to be aware of what Gypsy’s life looked like before she went to prison, and how important it is that Gypsy has her freedom now. Which is something she didn’t really have even before she received her sentence.
Mia actually spoke out about the sentence, too. In the docuseries, she said that she thought that 10 years was too long. Mia said that she agreed that Gypsy deserved to be in jail, but she also deserved to get help. She also seems to be aware of the fact that her and Gypsy’s childhoods looked entirely different.
“I got to grow up with a loving father and a loving mother, I got to grow up going to school with my friends, hanging out with my friends, learning to do all these things and she never had that,” she said, adding that all of this was taken away from Gypsy by Dee Dee.
And it’s clear that she feels bad for her sister and what happened to her. Maybe this is why she’s so outspoken about Gypsy these days. It’s not because she wants to be in the spotlight, but because she wants to stand up for her sister and make her feel loved.
This includes being worried about her when she’s making huge decisions, like getting married to someone her family doesn’t really know.
Mia Is Active On Instagram And She Is Studying Nursing
If you go to Mia’s Instagram, you’ll also see that she’s been pretty active on there for YEARS at this point, so it’s not like she’s only on social media now because of Gypsy and the opportunity to gain more followers.
Mia has always posted photos of herself and her life, so maybe she’s just really comfortable in the spotlight anyway, and that’s why she’s not afraid to speak up for and about Gypsy right now.
I do really think that she has her sister’s best interest in mind. She’s also a young woman. Like I said, she’s only 22 years old, so it makes sense for her to enjoy the attention and be active on social media.
Mia is also studying nursing at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, so, she clearly has her own career ambitions.
