Exposing Kelly and Mark’s Breakup

Kelly Ripa and her husband, Mark Consuelos, have always presented themselves as having the perfect marriage. But it turns out that not everything was great for them, as they broke up just days before they eloped in 1996. You’ll never believe just how fast everything happened and how Mark would stop at nothing to get her back. 

It took Kelly and Mark a while before they admitted that things weren’t exactly paradise between them. In an episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, they revealed that they did break up all those years ago. Kelly said that when Mark broke up with her, he didn’t do a very good job of it. 

During the episode, they said they always remember December 11th as their break-up day. The couple talked about why a lot of people tend to break up around this time of the year, speculating that it could be due to the pressure of the holidays. 

In an interesting turn of events, Mark encouraged everyone watching the show to just break up with someone if they were thinking about it.  While he bragged that he was good at breakups and would be a great resource, Kelly reminded him that she was technically the last person he broke up with. And it all happened just three days before they got married. 

Mark and Kelly Didn’t Plan Their Wedding

The whole story is strange when you think about it. It’s interesting that they still went through with getting married in the end. 

Looking back, it seems like they made the right decision, considering their long marriage. But the fact that they aren’t open about why they broke up is suspicious. You’d think they would have announced the reason on their show, but they just quickly changed the subject. 

It’s also important to note that Kelly and Mark didn’t have a whole wedding planned out. The pair eloped in Las Vegas pretty much immediately after they got back together. 

Despite their secrecy, Mark did admit on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen that Kelly drove him crazy with her lack of communication. According to Mark, once they broke up, he didn’t hear from her. He joked that he had to stalk her to talk to her the day before they got married. 

He said that he and Kelly were set to do an appearance on Live with Regis and Kathie Lee. While they were in the room together, Kelly wouldn’t talk to him. After that, he said he followed her to Central Park before they finally went back to his place. 

The whole thing is super strange, especially when you look at how quickly everything happened. Despite that, Mark said that it was good for their relationship since it made their love even stronger. 

Their marriage was so hasty! They eloped because they had a couple of days off from work at the same time and figured it would be fun. 

They were also experiencing a record-breaking snowstorm at the time. The couple saw that it was warm and sunny in Las Vegas, so they wanted to go.

Those are definitely pretty strange reasons to get married.

December 11th is Like a Holiday for the Couple

They may never admit what caused their breakup in the first place. But it’s possible that they were afraid that something could come between them again. They might have been scared of another breakup and felt that a marriage would be a more solid commitment. 

On the other hand, it’s possible that spending a couple of days apart made them realize just how much they actually loved each other, and they just couldn’t wait any longer. But either way, I feel like their attitude about all this is kind of weird.

Even though they were joking that December 11th is their breakup day, it’s still a dark thing to celebrate. It seems like the two of them can’t help but think about this situation even though it’s been more than two decades.

While Mark thought it was funny that he had to stalk Kelly, it’s not actually all that funny at all. There could have been a much deeper reason behind Kelly refusing to talk to him. It seems like this issue could still be a sour spot in their marriage. 

Despite this, we can’t deny that their marriage has seen at least some level of success. We don’t know what really goes on behind closed doors. The simple fact that they’ve been together for as long as they have is definitely worth noting. 

Kelly and Mark might eventually open up even more about why they broke up all those years ago.

The Truth About Kelly Ripa’s Son

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos have always spoken about not letting their children rely on fame to get them places. But it seems like that may not actually be the case.

RELATED: Why Travis Kelce’s Mom Hates Taylor

Their oldest son, Michael, has landed two high-profile jobs in franchises very close to his parents. You’ll never believe what he does for work and how suspicious it is that he got these jobs.

Michael Stars in Riverdale alongside His Dad

In 2018, Kelly and Mark’s son Michael got his first real role in the entertainment industry after he was cast on the hit show Riverdale. Mark plays a recurring character on the show. Interestingly enough, Michael played a young version of his dad’s character. 

While it makes sense as a casting decision to get someone related to Mark to play a younger version of himself, it’s clear that Michael got this role purely because of his dad. Although he might be a decent actor, his credits before his role on Riverdale consisted of voiceover work for just a few episodes of children’s shows when he was younger. 

It seems almost impossible that he would have landed this role just based on merit, meaning that the producers likely only reached out to him because of his relation to Mark. The character that his dad played in the show was highly integral to the entire plot and was a major character, so it just seems strange that they would have cast someone with almost no experience.

Because he’s Mark’s son, it’s possible the showrunners did everything they could to make their casting decision work. It’s likely that even if he wasn’t an amazing actor, they would have cast him in that role anyway. 

Being on such a show is an honor, as the main cast has gone on to have extremely promising careers. Having the show on his resume is an accomplishment, but not one that he got on his own. 

Kelly Claims Her Son Lives in “Extreme Poverty”

This directly contradicts what Kelly and Mark have stated about their parenting style when it comes to their children. 

Kelly told Access Hollywood that she and Mark make their children hold jobs to understand the importance of work. She’s even said that neither she nor her husband grew up privileged, so it was important to them that their kids knew what it meant to work hard. 

There’s no denying that Michael may have worked hard while on Riverdale. But there is still a huge presence of privilege that it seems the whole family is just glossing over. Michael had also moved out of his parents’ Upper East Side home to live in Bushwick, Brooklyn.

In her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Kelly said Michael enjoys the freedom of living on his own but hates paying rent. She said he’s chronically poor and that she doesn’t think her son has truly experienced extreme poverty like he is experiencing now. 

It seems clear that Kelly doesn’t know what extreme poverty actually looks like. Even if Michael was living paycheck to paycheck, it’s obvious that he is able to provide for himself comfortably. He seemingly has all the necessities, and even if he doesn’t, he always has his extremely rich celebrity parents to fall back on. 

Actual poverty certainly doesn’t look like that, and it’s shocking that she would even compare the two situations at all. The comment was extremely out of touch.

Michael is Now Working Behind the Camera

Things only get worse when you look at the job Michael has now. In 2023, it was announced that he would become a part of the Real Housewives franchise. 

Andy Cohen, a close friend of Mark and Kelly, announced that Michael was working as a producer behind the scenes. He’s not just working on one of the shows. He’s working on multiple, playing a role in The Real Housewives of Miami, New York, and Jersey. 

Again, Michael is only 26 years old and has next to nothing on his resume. There’s no way that he has the experience or knowledge to produce a franchise as big as The Real Housewives, let alone to be promoted by the one and only Andy Cohen. Andy even confessed that he has a close relationship with Michael, often texting him to pick his brain.

It was also revealed that Michael was a recent New York University graduate. This means that this is his first job out of college, aside from his role on Riverdale. Considering how difficult it is for young adults to find employment after graduation, this hand-out is hard to swallow. 

While Michael may be a competent and smart guy, that just doesn’t take away from the fact that he most likely didn’t get any of this based on his hard work. It’s extremely hypocritical of Kelly and Mark to act like he did it all on his own without their help.

Even if they didn’t have a direct hand in getting him these roles, being their son has given him opportunities. The connections that they have in the industry are priceless. There’s also no denying that he’s making a decent amount of money with it all, too. 

Dolly Speaks out on Beyonce

Beyonce made country music history in February 2024. The country legend herself—Dolly Parton—has spoken out about Queen Bey’s chart-topping country hit, “Texas Hold ‘Em.” As the first Black female artist to hit #1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, Beyonce received congratulations and well wishes from Dolly on social media.

Entertainment Tonight reported that Dolly posted her sweet message to Beyonce online on February 22nd. She told her fans and followers that she’s a “big fan of Beyonce and very excited that she’s done a country album,” and then Dolly did a shout-out right to Beyonce. She wrote, “So congratulations on your Billboard Hot Country number one single. Can’t wait to hear the full album!”

Beyonce has faced criticism in the industry for her choice to record country music. But Dolly Parton is no stranger to controversy, and she’s spoken out for other artists in trouble, most notably Britney Spears. In July 2021, Dolly appeared on What Watch Happens Live With Andy Cohen. She discussed Britney’s conservatorship battle and revealed some eye-opening things.

While Dolly claimed, “I try to not get involved in other people’s business,” she also admitted, “I understand all those crazy things. I went through a lot of that myself through a big lawsuit in my early days with Porter Wagoner trying to get out on my own.” Dolly told Andy, “I hope that all turns out the way that it should” for Britney.

KYKC Refused to Play Beyonce on Their Station

The country music controversy with Beyonce started at the radio station KYKC in Oklahoma. A user on X reported that they had requested “Texas Hold ‘Em,” and they received an email back from KYKC stating, “We do not play Beyonce, as we are a country music station.”

Once the Bey Hive heard about it, KYKC got swamped with angry phone calls and messages on social media. Entertainment Tonight spoke with Roger Harris about the controversy. 

Roger is the GM at KYKC’s parent company, South Central Oklahoma Radio Enterprises. He told ET that when the song request came in, Beyonce was not considered a “country artist.” He added, “It would have been the same situation if someone had asked the station to play the Rolling Stones.”

But Roger also claimed that the station “didn’t know” Beyonce would be dropping “country songs” after the Super Bowl, and he said, “We did not have access to these songs since we are a small market station.”

Roger insisted, “We are a minority-owned station. We have supported Beyonce for as long as she’s been around.” He said that KYKC is now playing Beyonce’s country songs, and they “have nothing against Beyonce. We love Beyonce.”

Beyonce Has always Celebrated “Cowboy Culture”

Beyonce fans weren’t surprised that she’s putting out a country album. As a Texas-born-and-raised singer, writer, and performer, Beyonce has displayed her love of the genre before on songs like “Daddy Lessons” from her Lemonade album. 

Tina Knowles Lawson is Beyonce’s mom and business partner. She spoke out about the controversy online and revealed her family’s long-time love of cowboy culture. 

Tina’s message on social media read, in part, “We have always celebrated Cowboy Culture growing up in Texas.” She added, “We also always understood that it was not just about it belonging to White culture only,” and Tina reminded everyone that there is a “huge Black cowboy culture” in Texas. 

Tina also asked, “Why do you think that my kids have integrated it into their fashion and art since the beginning?” She wrote, “It’s really funny,” and claimed she laughs when people ask her why Beyonce wears cowboy hats because the family has been going to rodeos and dressing up in Western fashion since Beyonce and her sister Solange were kids.

Tina wrote that Solange “did a whole brilliant Album and Project based on Black Cowboy Culture. It definitely was a part of our culture growing up.”

Beyonce’s country-themed album, Renaissance: Act II, will be released on March 29th. But “Texas Hold ‘Em” isn’t her first song to chart on Billboard’s Hot Country list. Beyonce’s “16 Carriages” hit the top 10 on Billboard’s Hot Country Chart when it landed at #9.

How Kate Gosselin Stole from Her Kids

Kate Gosselin has been getting called out for being a controlling, toxic mom for years, but she might be even more manipulative than anyone could have predicted. Last year, her ex-husband Jon publicly accused her of secretly taking an outrageous amount of money from their kids.

Between the exes’ legal battle over the missing funds, Kate’s bizarre side of the story, and the details of her alleged theft, this scandal is honestly insane. After Jon and Kate called it quits in 2009, they spent over a decade battling in court over custody and child support.

But even after the sextuplets turned 18 years old in May 2022, their parents’ legal drama was far from over. Just three months later, Jon dropped an unexpected bombshell. In an interview with The U.S. Sun, he revealed that after he was granted full custody of Collin and Hannah in 2018, he made a seriously shocking discovery.

Jon claimed that Kate had dipped into Hannah and Collin’s trust funds without their approval or even their knowledge. She had reportedly made huge withdrawals from their accounts that added up to over $100,000. Not surprisingly, the kids were extremely upset.

Collin and Hannah Confronted Kate About the Money

Jon admitted that both Collin and Hannah had recently called Kate to confront her about taking so much of their money, especially without their permission. But unfortunately, she didn’t really care and they were angry with her, which is actually pretty disturbing.

Before Jon and Kate’s marriage completely crumbled, they had set up trust funds for their children. All eight kids were making money from appearing on reality TV and from attending promotional events, and their parents wanted to be able to help keep all of it safe.

Just like everyone else does with their kids’ trust funds, the Gosselins created the accounts to protect their children’s finances. The kids wouldn’t be able to access their trust funds until they were 18, so the fact that Kate supposedly took tens of thousands of dollars from Collin and Hannah’s accounts when they were only 14 is absolutely terrible.

Hannah and Collin were the only kids who lived with Jon. Over the years, the other six children ended up cutting off contact with their dad, which he chalked up to Kate’s manipulation and twisted narratives. Sadly, Collin and Hannah’s siblings later turned against them as well.

Jon also told The U.S. Sun that he wished he could tell his children who were living with their mom about what she had done. However, he had basically no way of knowing if Kate had stolen money from their trust accounts, too. But what an inside source revealed next was honestly unbelievable.

Kate Took $100,000 From Her Children

According to what an insider shared with In Touch Weekly, Kate had allegedly left Collin and Hannah’s trust accounts extremely low in funds. And for her to take $100,000 from the two kids who had recently moved in with Jon seemed like more than just a coincidence.

Kate seemingly always wanted to have complete control over the kids, and she never wanted to have to pay Jon any child support. So when Collin and Hannah started spending more time getting to know their dad, it seemed like their mom became super spiteful.

It’s a little suspicious that Kate took such an enormous amount of money from Collin and Hannah, right before Jon was granted full custody of them. It doesn’t make a lot of sense why she would withdraw so much, just from the two kids who wanted to live with their dad.

Meanwhile, the trust funds of the children living with Kate either went totally untouched, or the kids were just too nervous to bring it to anyone’s attention. And who could really blame them if they were too scared of her possibly retaliating to speak out about it?

Kate already had a well-known history of pushing her kids to do whatever she wanted, just so she could keep exploiting them. The In Touch Weekly source even explained that that’s one of the reasons why Collin and Hannah weren’t just outraged, but hurt as well.

They supposedly felt so devastated by their mom’s shady actions because of what the missing money actually meant to them. They had been forced by Kate to appear on her reality show and its spin-offs, despite how much they didn’t want to be a part of it.

The Gosselin Kids Were Pressured to Be On TV

None of the Gosselin kids had ever been given the choice to be on TV or not, but Kate wasn’t about to simply let them walk away. Instead of risking a huge pay cut from TLC by allowing the kids to leave the show, she just continued pushing them into participating.

Collin and Hannah had supposedly been pressured into filming for a big part of their lives. At least they could look forward to having all the money they’d made over the years when they turned 18, but after Kate reportedly stole their earnings, they were understandably crushed.

A few days after Kate’s alleged theft made headlines, another source shared a shocking detail with In Touch Weekly. Thankfully, Jon had already taken matters into his own hands and filed a legal complaint against Kate.

It turns out that he had actually gotten the court involved in 2018, more than four years before he went public with his startling accusations. But the reason why he waited so long after filing to expose his ex-wife’s selfish, appalling behavior was truly insane.

Apparently, the sextuplets’ 18th birthday was a major turning point in the whole ordeal. Since Hannah and Collin were legally adults, Jon couldn’t keep trying to take legal action against Kate to try to get the missing money back for them. If Collin and Hannah wanted to even attempt to get the stolen funds back from their mom, it wasn’t going to be easy.  

They would both have to file their own civil lawsuits against her, which is obviously pretty intimidating. Despite the fact that Hannah and Collin have each taken a stand against Kate in the media, going head to head with her in court is a totally different story.

Especially since her version of what happened with the money from their trust accounts is absolutely bizarre. According to legal documents obtained by The U.S. Sun, Kate confessed in a 2019 court hearing that she had withdrawn $100,000 from her kids’ trust funds.

Kate Said That she ‘Borrowed’ the Money to Survive

But she described the money as a loan that she had “borrowed” for a shocking reason. Kate told the judge that she had only taken money from Collin and Hannah’s accounts in order to survive. She reportedly made two separate withdrawals of $50,000 each, just so that she could afford to pay for the children’s basic necessities and daily expenses.

But the same year that she took the money, she also made an unbelievably massive purchase. Kate managed to buy a big, luxurious North Carolina lake house for $750,000, so she must not have been struggling TOO badly. But her claim about using the stolen money to survive wasn’t the only ridiculous thing she said.

The court documents also revealed that Kate apparently had no plan to stop “borrowing” money from her kids. She confessed that she was going to have to continue taking loans from their accounts just to get by, but she honestly didn’t seem to feel sorry at all, and the reason why was seriously mind-blowing.

Believe it or not, Kate claimed that even factoring in the $100,000 she used, her children were actually in debt to her. She acted like she was doing them a favor by not taking $387,000 from them, which she said they owed her for their private school tuition.

Kate decided where to send the kids for school, not the other way around. They didn’t choose to attend a super expensive school. But let’s be real, even if Kate they had suggested it, why does Kate think it’s her children’s responsibility to pay for their schooling?

Not only did Kate fail to get permission to take money from Collin and Hannah’s trust accounts, but she also never made a plan to repay them. After they turned 18 and Jon could no longer lead the fight for them in court, she basically dismissed the entire thing.

It’s no wonder Jon accused Kate of living off of her children’s money. Especially since she genuinely thought that they owed her for their school tuition. Unfortunately, Kate still hasn’t paid back Collin and Hannah, and it doesn’t look like either of them have any active court cases against her.

Teen Mom’s Ryan Edwards Living with New Girlfriend

Teen Mom star Mackenzie Edwards has let slip some updates about her estranged husband Ryan Edwards

The US Sun reported this week that 28-year-old Mackenzie revealed Ryan’s new living situation in an alleged 911 call to the police last month. Mackenzie claimed Ryan is now living with his new girlfriend, Amanda Conner. 

The Sun reported that Ryan had gone to the home he once shared with Makenzie and their kids to grab something. He reportedly arrived accompanied by police officers in order to avoid any potential confrontation with the Teen Mom alumni. 

However, the plan did not seem to work. Upon Ryan’s arrival, Mackenzie reportedly accused him of sending her threatening messages. According to Mackenzie, this happened after Ryan had left their marital home. The Sun went on to report that they had obtained phone calls Mackenzie had previously made to police. 

In the first of these alleged calls, Mackenzie told the operator, “I need to speak to an officer. My ex-husband tore up my house almost a year ago.” She reportedly added, “He hasn’t lived here in a year, and he’s trying to come over and get some things. I don’t want him here.”

In a later call, the dispatcher had asked Mackenzie if Ryan had the former couple’s two children in his care. Mackenzie responded, “His mother does. He does not even see them, no. He lives with his girlfriend. She has them to spend the night because that’s their grandmother.”

Amanda Shared a Picture of Ryan in Their New Home

For his part, Ryan alleged that he was “trying to get something out of the garage of mine where I live” before requesting an officer to come with him to the house. He also allegedly told a police dispatcher, “We’re just in the process of getting divorced right now. I don’t think it’s a good idea if I show up without an officer because she is armed.”

He also claimed that his ex-wife had previously “told” him to “bring a police officer” with him. She went on to describe him as being “out of his freaking mind.” 

Police wore body cameras when they came to meet Ryan at a nearby gas station before approaching the house. The footage showed Ryan saying to them, “Won’t bother her and hopefully she won’t bother me.” He also told officers that Mackenzie made him “nervous.” 

A couple of weeks after Mackenzie revealed that Ryan had moved in with his girlfriend, the news was confirmed by Amanda herself. Last week she posted a picture of Ryan hanging up a TV. She followed this with a post showing a photo of hardwood floors, with a caption reading, “Our new home.” 

Mackenzie and Ryan’s relationship troubles surfaced early last year after he accused her of cheating. With all the recent tension threatening to boil over, it’s probably best that they keep their distance for the time being.

Teen Mom’s Maci’s Marriage Troubles

In the first trailer for the newest season of Teen Mom: Family Reunion, Maci Bookout’s emotional turmoil was exposed. It was clear that the root of her distress was her marriage to her husband, Taylor McKinney.

One scene in particular from the MTV trailer showed the Teen Mom OG couple in a therapy session. Maci hinted at some of the problems in their relationship, including a remark Taylor made about her parenting skills. 

The 32-year-old said, “He said he would not want his daughter to become the mother that I am,” while holding back tears. Taylor was referring to the couple’s seven year old daughter Jade. Their therapist then went on to suggest that the couple have to talk to each other.

As well as Jade, Taylor and Maci share a six-year-old son, Maverick. Maci also has another son, Bentley, from a previous relationship with Ryan Edwards. The couple got married in 2016, but problems between them have started to make themselves known in recent times.

Coparenting with Ryan Has Not Been Easy

The Daily Mail reported in July that Maci was struggling to make things work regarding Taylor and her ex Ryan. Maci told The Mail, “There’s a lot of temperature checking for us, because obviously, our past with Ryan has not been the greatest.”

She added, “It has not been easy and [it’s been] really, really bad at times.” She admitted, “I feel pressure because I’m trying to support Bentley and do the right thing by him, and I’m learning how to even communicate and have a relationship with Ryan at all.”

However, this was apparently causing trouble between her and Taylor. Maci explained, “But then, [Taylor] is my husband, and he raised Bentley with me, so there’s just a lot of temperature checking that goes on.” She concluded by saying, “It’s been a lot.”

Taylor also spoke up about their problems, trying to keep positive. He said, “You’re going to see us probably in a better point in a co-parenting relationship than we had been in a long time.”

Maci also talked about all the negative comments she had received when sharing so many details about her personal life on the show. She said, “I can get a thousand comments on something nice and that one comment where someone’s like ‘You suck’ always stands out.”

However, she added, “But then I have to put it in perspective and keep going.” At that point, Maci was also trying to stay optimistic about her relationship with her husband. However, seeing the emotions coming out during their therapy session exposed the cracks that started to form in their marriage. 

As for her ex Ryan, Maci reportedly attended his court hearing last June. He has been sentenced to almost a year in prison on various charges, including DUI. 

Jessie James Decker Welcomes Her 4th Baby

Country singer Jessie James Decker has given birth to her fourth child with husband Eric Decker. Page Six reported that Jessie had revealed her new baby boy on Instagram on Sunday, and shared his name with her followers.

Along with a photo of the infant, Jessie wrote in the caption, “Our beautiful boy is here,” followed by a love heart emoji. She went on to announce that his name is “Denver Calloway Decker.” Along with a solo photograph of Denver, Jessie also shared a picture of her and her husband cradling their son in their arms.

According to the Daily Mail, the baby’s name appears to be a nod to Eric’s former profession. During his football career, Eric played for the Denver Broncos for three years. In fact, he and Jessie got married while he was still on the Broncos’ roster. 

Jessie had first announced her pregnancy with a video on social media. The clip showed off the singer’s baby bump while the tune to Mariah Carey’s Always Be My Baby played in the background. A few months later, she confirmed she was having a baby boy during an interview on Today.

She mentioned the news while talking about another Instagram post she shared in which she was seen holding up baby clothes in front of a Christmas tree. The photo showed Jessie between her sister and sister in law as they held up their own baby sons in identical clothing. In the caption of the post, Jessie wrote, “These three little turkeys gonna be BFFs.” 

Despite the heavy hinting, Jessie only revealed the news officially on Today. She said “Yup, we’re having another boy. Vivi remains queen,” referring to her daughter. 

Baby Number 4 Was a Surprise

Jessie revealed more about how she and Eric reacted themselves to the news of her pregnancy on her Instagram Stories. She said that she was “very, very surprised” to find out she was expecting. 

Jessie also revealed that her friends and family members were also surprised, including Eric. She said, “Eric didn’t believe me at first. He thought I was playing a joke on him.”

She continued by saying that Eric had believed that Jessie had gotten her sister, who was also pregnant at the time, to take a pregnancy test for her to fool Eric. Jessie described the confusion as “hilarious”, and added, “Once everyone realized, ‘This is not a joke,’ everyone was super excited. And we still are.”

In October last year, Jessie revealed just how much they had planned ahead after finding out they were having another son. She told People magazine, “We chose the name as soon as we knew the gender. We’ve always been kind of prepared.”

She continued, “I knew all my babies’ names before they were born. It just comes to me instantly and we all are obsessed with the name.”

As well as baby Denver, Eric and Jessie are blessed with daughter Vivianne, and sons Eric Jr and Forrest. Jessie said that all three of them are “excited” about welcoming the newest member of their family. 

Kail Shares Daughter’s First Photo

Teen Mom star Kailyn Lowry has shared never-before-seen pictures of her baby daughter, Valley, for the first time. The US Sun reported that Kailyn posted the photo on her Instagram Stories after bringing Valley home from the NICU. 

The image showed the reality star’s baby girl lying asleep on Kailyn’s stomach, wearing a pink and yellow onesie, while Kailyn cradled her in one hand. In the caption, Kailyn wrote, “Send me your fav small shops for girls/babies,” followed by a text box for suggestions from her followers. 

Kailyn welcomed Valley and her twin brother Verse back in November last year. However, as reported in The Sun, her daughter had to stay in the NICU for weeks after being born. In the last few months, Kailyn has been more and more candid about her experience with Valley.

In a TikTok video, the 31-year-old shared the news of her daughter joining the rest of her family in their home. Kailyn revealed that she had called the hospital at 6.30 in the morning to check on Valley and was “so excited” to find out that she would be getting discharged.

She shared that she had hoped to get Valley back to the house before the rest of her kids got home from school. But because of the “hour-long drive” to the NICU followed by a 45-minute wait, it “didn’t work out that way.” 

Nonetheless, Kailyn said she was just “super excited and ready for her to come home” and “have all seven kids under one roof” for the first time. She got emotional, saying she “could literally cry,” before tearing up while “trying to hold it together.” 

Kailyn Has Been More Open with Sharing the Twins with Fans

Kailyn had previously documented the emotional toll Valley’s time in the NICU had taken on her in another video. The video showed Kailyn after visiting her daughter.

At one point, after holding up Valley’s onesie for the camera, she is seen breaking down over leaving her. Through her tears, she assured fans that Valley was “definitely making progress,” but added that “it’s not always super easy.”

The US Sun reported that she had talked on her Barely Famous podcast about Valley not showing “signs of hunger” during feeding times. She went on to say, “I cried a lot. I probably cried more with the NICU journey than the c-section stuff”. 

The recent photo is a mark of how much more open Kailyn has been about sharing Valley with her fans, having previously been a lot more private. Even her pregnancy with the twins was initially kept a secret. However, over time, she has been more comfortable revealing details about her sixth and seventh children. 

RELATED: Kailyn Announces Twins’ Names

In another TikTok video, she talked about how she decided on their unusual names. She explained that Verse’s name was inspired by Allen Iverson, whom her partner Lincoln was a “huge” fan of. Kailyn also explained that she chose Valley as a tribute to Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania, where she grew up.

Snoop Dogg recently went public to mourn the loss of his younger brother, Bing Worthington.

On Friday, February 16th, Snoop shared tributes to Bing on Instagram. Bing passed away at the age of 44. He was Snoop’s half-brother, and their mother was the late Beverly Tate.

The New York Post reported Bing’s passing, and they mentioned that an official statement has not been released to disclose how or why Bing passed. On February 20th, Snoop posted a thank you on social media to his living relatives supporting him through the loss of Bing. Snoop also gave a shout-out to God for helping him stay afloat.

Snoop wrote that prayer and family were getting his spirit back in order, and he included a video collage honoring his loved ones in his Instagram post. He had previously shared pictures of him and Bing in his February 16th Instagram post, and he captioned one photo with Bing’s social media handle, writing, “@badabing33 always made us laugh,” and Snoop said that Bing was back with “moms.”

Bing held numerous jobs assisting Snoop with his legendary rap career. He once served as Snoop’s tour manager, wrote a track for Snoop’s album, Tha Eastsidaz, and even sold skateboards and hot dogs under the Snoop brand.

Vice talked to Bing in 2016, and Bing explained that he didn’t get any special privileges working with Snoop just because they were family. Bing told Vice, “I started from the bottom,” and he later said, “I was just the road guy. I worked my way to the top.”

But Bing did not have a problem with Snoop’s way of doing business. He told Vice that even though he was Snoop’s brother, “he didn’t give me a top-ranked position.” Bing understood that “you can’t just become a president without knowing anything about being the president,” and he realized, “You have to learn.”

It turns out that Bing learned a lot about entrepreneurship working with Snoop, and he used the example of Snoop-branded skateboards. He told Vice, “You name it. I come up with a lot of great concepts,” and Bing’s ideas included the Snoop-branded 1966 Cadillac DeVille and Dogg Skateboards.

Bing also founded a record label called Dogg Records, and he recently co-founded another record label in Canada with Miguel Lopez, owner of the Urban Heat label. Bing also rapped professionally with a duo he called Lifestyle, and their song, “Tha Jump Off,” was featured on the soundtrack of the rom-com “Van Wilder 2.”

The Brothers Lost Their Mother a Few Years Ago

Snoop and Bing’s mom, Beverly, passed away in October 2021. He announced Beverly’s passing on October 24th of that year and shared a lovely photo of Beverly smiling with her hair done and nails manicured. Snoop captioned that photo of Beverly, “Thank u God for giving me an angel of a mother,” and he signed off, “Til we meet again.”

As with her son Bing, the cause of Beverly’s passing was never disclosed. But Snoop did hint on social media in May 2021 that his mother was seriously ill. In July 2021, Snoop called on friends, fans, and followers to pray for Beverly.

He received support from Busta Rhymes, Xzibit, Warren G, Jermaine Dupri, and legendary percussionist Sheila E. Snoop also received supportive comments on social media when he announced Bing’s passing. 

Producer and rapper D-Nice wrote, “My condolences, bro.” While Fast & Furious actor Tyrese Gibson called on Snoop to “stay strong big bro… I’m sorry this happened… Prayers love and light to you and your family.”

Toni Braxton’s sister, Tamar, wrote, “Sorry for all your Loss, Brother.” Singer Monica, actress Windi Washington, and radio host Big Boy also added their comments of support and sympathy.

Meghan Gets Exposed By the Queen’s Best Friend

The late Queen Elizabeth’s best friend just spoke out about Meghan Markle, and she’s revealed exactly why she doesn’t like her.

The reasons are pretty shocking…The royals are usually very private people. They rarely talk about how they actually feel, and they basically never share their personal opinions on the people around them.

That’s why it’s so crazy that the late Queen’s best friend just spoke out about Meghan — and she did NOT hold back, either. But what exactly did she say about Meghan and Elizabeth?

The late Queen’s best friend is Lady Anne Glenconner. Lady Anne and Elizabeth were childhood friends who stayed one each other’s lives for decades. Lady Anne is 91 years old right now, ,and she was actually there for Elizabeth’s coronation back in 1953.

Who Is Lady Anne Glenconner?

She was actually one of Elizabeth’s maids of honor, and she was also the lady-in-waiting to Princess Margaret, who was Elizabeth’s younger sister. So, it’s clear that Lady Anne has spent her life with the royal family. She was close to Elizabeth and Margaret, and from what we know, she still sees Charles occasionally.

So, she really knows the Royals well, which is why it’s such a big deal that she’s spoken out about Meghan. What she said about her isn’t just second-hand information from some kind of anonymous royal insider. No, this is what the late Queen’s childhood friend had to say.

I’m not sure that’s good news for Meghan, because this information is probably pretty accurate, and it doesn’t exactly paint Meghan in the best light. Lady Anne was recently on a podcast called Rosebud with Gyles Brandreth, where she expressed her honest opinion on Meghan and her relationship with Harry.

What Lady Anne Said About Meghan

She said that she thought that Meghan wanted to join the royal family because she thought it would be really glamorous. According to Lady Anne, Meghan assumed that she would be riding around in a golden coach, and that was what drew her to the royal life.

Obviously, if Meghan did make that kind of assumption, that’s understandable. I feel like a lot of us would assume the same thing. Surely, being a royal would mean you get to live a life of luxury. But while that may be true to some extent, it’s not the whole story.

Being a royal isn’t the same as being a Hollywood movie star. There are a lot of strict rules that you have to follow. and you have to give up a lot of your personal freedom and individuality to properly represent the institution. Lady Anne claimed that Meghan had no idea what she was signing up for.

She supposedly didn’t know what was expected of her and allegedly thought that it would be like if she became a bigger actress. But obviously, that’s not what happened. According to Lady Anne, royal life can actually be really boring.

Not only do the royals have to be all proper, calm, and collected all the time, but their duties are also not always the most exciting thing out there. Lady Anne said that most of the royals spend their days meeting hundreds of thousands of people.

They’re never going to see these people again, but that doesn’t matter. They still have to be polite and smile at all these strangers — that’s kind of what their job description is. Honestly, it sounds pretty exhausting, and it would probably get really boring.

It’s not the worst job you could have. And the royals DO get to live in luxury in exchange. But if Meghan really thought that she was signing up for a glamorous life, I can see why she might’ve been disappointed by the reality of her situation.

Lady Anne Said She Feels Sad for Harry

Meghan was never a super famous actress, but I almost feel like that life might have still been more exciting than being a royal. Especially if the rumors are true, and Meghan really does love being famous. She’s definitely more famous now than she was before she got together with Harry.

But it’s most likely not as exciting as she hoped it would be. Obviously, the couple have left the royal family, so they don’t have to do all those exhausting activities anymore, at least not to such a crazy extent. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re happy right now.

Lady Anne said that it was all very sad when they decided to leave, and she added that she felt especially sad for Harry. It seems like what he really wanted was someone to share his royal duties with, but that’s not what he ended up getting.

Lady Anne said that she even had a conversation with American politician John Kerry at King Charles’s coronation. Lady Anne talked to John about Harry and Meghan. She wanted to know what people in the U.S. thought about the couple, and John told her that they all felt very sorry for Harry, too.

So everyone seems to agree that maybe Meghan’s intentions weren’t exactly pure when she joined the royal family. I don’t doubt that she and Harry love each other, but maybe Meghan did also want to have the dream life of a Princess. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out that way…

And she has also had to deal with a lot of hateful comments and trolls along the way, which is not fair and is completely unacceptable. I mean, even if she did agree to marry Harry just because she wanted to gain more fame and power, she’s still a person — and she shouldn’t have to deal with all that hate.

That being said, it does seem like she made the royal family’s lives a lot more difficult, and I can’t blame Lady Anne for seemingly not liking her at all.

Another One of Queen Elizabeth’s Friends Also Spoke Out

Another one of Elizabeth’s friends also spoke out about the situation, and this friend said that after Prince Philip passed away in 2021, Elizabeth was in a lot of pain. She was grieving her husband, but then, Harry and Meghan’s behavior made things even worse for her.

Harry announced that he was working on his memoir, Spare. The book only came out after Elizabeth passed away, but apparently, the announcement itself still hurt her, and this was one of the reasons why those close to Elizabeth were so angry at the couple.

To this day, many of them reportedly still feel like there’s nothing Harry and Meghan could do to make up for their behavior. They supposedly really hurt Elizabeth’s feelings in her final years. And understandably, many of those who were close to the late Queen don’t think they will ever be able to forgive the couple.

It’s entirely possible that Lady Anne is one of those people. I mean, that would definitely explain why she felt so comfortable talking about Harry and Meghan in the first place. Like I said, it’s highly unusual for the royals to actually open up about something like this.

And Lady Anne was by Elizabeth’s side for most of the late Queen’s life. I’m sure that she’s more than used to keeping her thoughts to herself, too, so the fact that she spoke out against Meghan must mean that she REALLY dislikes her.

Interestingly, she doesn’t seem to have as much against Harry, but this may be because, despite his actions, he was still her best friend’s grandson, so she probably still loves him. Even though he likely hurt his grandma with his decisions, too…

But at least Harry was born into the royal family. He was always going to be a royal, whereas Meghan chose this life for herself, which I guess is also a big difference between the two of them. Obviously, it’s hard to say if Lady Anne’s description of Meghan is 100% accurate…

She was Elizabeth’s best friend, after all — not Meghan’s. But it’s definitely possible that Meghan joined the royal family partly because she wanted to live a more glamorous life, and things ended up backfiring.
