Leah Messer Wants to Break Cycle of Teen Pregnancy

Leah Messer has opened up about her hopes for her family. The former Teen Mom star spoke to Teen Vogue and, fourteen years after her time on the show, revealed her desire to change the pattern of teen pregnancy that has long been part of her family.

The 31-year-old was asked what she would tell her younger self if she could. Her answer? That she would teach younger Leah more about the world to help her have a more rounded education around having babies at such a young age.

Teaching Her Daughters What She Was Never Taught

Leah added that she at least had the opportunity to teach her daughters the things she was never taught. She has regular talks with her kids about the importance of staying safe and has always focused on creating a safe space to have open discussions without guilt or shame. This means that whenever Leah’s kids ask her a question, she aims to answer it honestly.

Leah is hoping to beat the cycle of young pregnancies that has been running in her family for generations. Besides herself, both her mother and grandmothers became moms when they were teenagers. Studies have shown that teenage pregnancy has been linked to a history of teenage pregnancy in the family. However, Leah is confident that she can buck the trend by keeping her daughters informed and educated and paying attention as a parent.  

Breaking Teenage Pregnancy Cycles Through New Habits

For example, she wanted her daughter involved when she booked their first doctor’s appointments together next year. And she wanted to use that opportunity to have an open conversation with her kids about women’s health issues.  “It’s the little things, like booking their first gynecologist appointments together next year and having these open conversations with them… that I think will be enough to break the cycle,” she told Teen Vogue. That said, she also added that she would love her three kids no matter what their journey might be.

Leah shares ten-year-old Adalynn Faith with Jeremy Calvert, who she was married to from 2012 to 2015. She also shares twin daughters Aliannah Hope and Aleeah Grace, both 13, with second ex-husband Corey Simms. At 31, Leah is three years away from the age at which her own mother became a grandmother.

“It’s a sweet spot for us right now,” she told Teen Vogue. “I’m 31, but I feel younger than I ever have. I genuinely believe my life is just beginning. That’s how it feels — it’s just beginning.”

Jennifer Aniston Speaks Out On Matthew Perry’s Death

Jennifer Aniston finally spoke out on the tragic passing of her real-life friend—and Friends costar—Matthew Perry. She posted a heartbreaking message on Instagram along with a touching black-and-white photo of the two of them laughing together on the set of Friends.

The public has been waiting for Jennifer’s statement since Matthew passed away on October 28. Jennifer did not hold back. “Oh boy… this one has cut deep,” she wrote.

Jennifer Opened Up About Her Grief

“Having to say goodbye to our Matty has been an insane wave of emotions that I’ve never experienced before. We all experience loss at some point in our lives. Loss of life or loss of love. Being able to really SIT in this grief allows you to feel the moments of joy and gratitude for having loved someone that deep.” she added.

“We loved him deeply. He was such a part of our DNA. We were always the 6 of us. This was a chosen family that forever changed the course of who we were and what our path was going to be.”

She also recalled how much Matthew cared about making people laugh: “For Matty, he KNEW he loved to make people laugh. As he said himself, if he didn’t hear the ‘laugh’ he thought he was going to die. His life literally depended on it. And boy did he succeed in doing just that. He made all of us laugh. And laugh hard. In the last couple weeks, I’ve been pouring over our texts to one another. Laughing and crying then laughing again. I’ll keep them forever and ever. I found one text that he sent me out of nowhere one day. It says it all.”

Matthew Would Text Jennifer Out of Nowhere

In the second slide of her Instagram post, Jennifer shared a screenshot of a text message that Matthew “sent her out of nowhere one day.” The screenshot shows Matthew sending Jennifer the same photo featured in her Instagram post. “Making you laugh just made my day, It made my day,” he wrote. “Awwww… the first of thousands of times,” responded Jennifer.

The two co-stars remained close even after Friends stopped filming. In a 2022 interview with Diane Sawyer, Matthew opened up about their friendship and said Jennifer supported him through the ups and downs of his struggles with addiction and sobriety journey. “She was the one that reached out the most. You know, I’m really grateful to her for that,” he said. He also revealed that Jennifer was the one who confronted him about his addiction while filming Friends and said “we know you’re drinking.”

Being close to Matthew while he was struggling is perhaps why Jennifer ended her Instagram tribute by mentioning that she knows he is now at peace. “Matty, I love you so much and I know you are now completely at peace and out of any pain. I talk to you every day… sometimes I can almost hear you saying ‘could you BE any crazier?'”

“Rest little brother. You always made my day,” she concluded.

Are Savannah Chrisley and Nic Kerdiles Back Together?

Hey y’all- Max, the Celeb Talk Guy here.

Savannah Chrisley and Nic Kerdiles’s relationship status has been one of the biggest questions amongst Chrisley Knows Best fans since September 2020, when the couple called off their engagement.

They began dating in 2017, got engaged quickly in 2018, called off the wedding and choosing just to date in 2019, until they finally seemed to call it quits on their relationship in September 2020.

However, when they did, fans noticed that they never really cut ties with each other. Nic is still a very big part of the Chisley family, and it’s got people wondering if maybe the couple is back together.

Well, today I’ve got an answer for you.

It seems extremely likely that Nic Kerdiles and Savannah Chrisley are back together.

Here’s why.

Although neither of the two have posted pictures together, they’re also not very private about the time they’re spending together.

Nic recently went on a family vacation with the Chrisleys in July 2021, and shared footage of both Todd and Chase, as well as a prank that he and Todd played on Chase.

Later in the trip, Savannah shared a video from a boat, confirming that she was on the trip with her family and her ex, but didn’t show any footage of Nic, and then later Nic posted a similar shot from the boat.

So there you have it, even though it hasn’t been confirmed by the couple yet, Savannah Chrisley and Nic Kerdiles appear to be in a relationship again.

I wish them the best, y’all! What do you think? Let me know in the comments!

Are Myrla and Gil from Married At First Sight Still Together? Spoiler Alert

Hey y’all- Max, the Celeb Talk Guy here, and today I’ve got one of the biggest MAFS spoilers I’ve ever seen this early in the season.

So take this as a warning, if you don’t want to know the spoiler, STOP READING!

Last week, we all watched Myrla and Gil get married, and we watched his family and friends make some interesting faces at all of the references to her materialistic habits during their wedding ceremony…

We haven’t even seen the reception yet, let alone the honeymoon and their following 8 weeks of marriage, but it still seemed like the couple was doomed from the start.

Well, we now have two indicators that point to Myrla and Gil divorcing on Season 13 of Married At First Sight.

First of all, we have Myrla’s wedding dress. Myrla spent a lot of money on the dress (it retails for $9,100!) and recently listed it for sale on a wedding dress website, called Still-White.com for $6,490.

Now here’s the thing… most people sell their wedding dresses when a marriage has gone south. Don’t get me wrong- some people aren’t very sentimental, and sell it even though they’re still married, but typically, people hold onto their wedding dresses for their future kids and grandkids.

The fact that Myrla is already selling hers, before the wedding has even finished airing on TV, does not bode well for the couple’s outcome, most likely.

But sure, there’s obviously some room for interpretation. There might be a perfectly logical story for why she’s selling her dress and still married to Gil.

However, a friend of one of Gil’s groomsmen recently posted something on the Married At First Sight SubReddit that gives us even more confirmation of the split.

The post reads:

Spoiler! So I went to college with one of Gil’s friends/groomsmen, and asked him flat out: “Do they last?” He laughed and said not even close. His exact words were “She’s awful. They set my boy up for failure.” I just knew I didn’t like Myrla. Poor Gil! He deserved better.

So, there you have it, folks. Myrla and Gil are most likely not going to stay married on Season 13 of Married At First Sight. It’s a shame, because they seem like decent people. However, it does look like Myrla is being set up as the villain of Season 13, not Ryan, like I previously thought.

What do you think of Season 13 so far? Let me know in the comments!

Are Meri and Kody Still Together On Sister Wives?

Hey y’all- Max, the Celeb Talk Guy here.

Easily one of the most popular questions from fans of Sister Wives is whether or not Meri and Kody are still married.

It makes sense- Meri was Kody’s first and only legal wife for years, until he legally divorced her to marry his fourth wife, Robyn, and adopt her children from her previous marriage.

On top of that, Meri made headlines a few years ago when it was revealed that she had an emotional affair with someone who ended up being a Catfish.

So it’s not exactly out of the question to wonder whether or not Kody and Meri are still married.

As for Meri, she doesn’t seem to do much with her family anymore.

Her only child with Kody, Mariah, lives in Utah with her fiance, Audrey, meaning that Meri doesn’t have anything keeping her in Flagstaff, Arizona, besides Kody and the other sister wives, and she doesn’t seem to spend much time there.

After Meri’s mother unfortunately passed away, Meri had to go to the B&B that she owns in Utah, and that her mother ran for her, to take over operations. This was just another situation that took her away from Flagstaff.

On top of all of this, Meri has consistently been posting things on social media that make it seem as though she’s not on the best terms with Kody and her other sister wives. She recently thanked a long list of people for their support after her mother’s passing, but both her husband and the other sister wives were conspicuously missing.

She also has been posting motivational quotes about growth happening when you’re lonely, amongst a ton of other motivational content, that allude to the fact that she might be going through a split with her husband, Kody.

On Kody’s side of things, it’s no secret to fans that Kody seems to favor his fourth wife, Robyn, of all of the sister wives.

After Meri’s catfishing scandal, Kody distanced himself from Meri both physically and emotionally. It has often been discussed on the show how the two no longer have a romantic relationship. Meri has tried to resolve these issues, but Kody has not been receptive.

So, for the final answer to the question that everyone’s been asking: are Kody and Meri still together?

Well, it’s complicated.

Legally, Kody and Meri are not married. However, they are allegedly still in their spiritual marriage, despite both Kody and Meri admitting that they no longer have a romantic relationship.

The next question is: will they continue on like this forever, or will they finally call it quits officially?

Hopefully we find out on a new season of Sister Wives!

Erik and Virginia from Married At First Sight’s Divorce is Finalized

Hey y’all- Max, the Celeb Talk Guy here.

We’ve got some bad news today as we can officially confirm that Erik and Virginia from Season 12 of Married At First Sight have finalized their divorce.

As everyone’s favorite Married At First Sight source, MAFSFan on Instagram, informed us of a few weeks ago, Erik and Virginia filed for divorce shortly after the season was completed.

There is one weird piece of this puzzle that hasn’t been solved yet…

And that’s that neither Erik nor Virginia have acknowledged their divorce yet!

Yes, you read that right, they haven’t even announced that they’re getting divorced, and it’s already been finalized.

To take it even further, they’re still pretending like they’re married!

Virginia often posts references to her Instagram Story about Erik, even on the same day that the court documents referencing their divorce were made public.

So, what’s going on with these two exactly?

It’s hard to say!

If they were going to try to work it out and stay together, why would they go through with the divorce?

And if they are going to divorce and live life separately, why are they pretending they’re still together?

The only theory that anyone can come up with is that they were slated to be featured on this season of Married At First Sight: Couples Cam, and that they aren’t allowed to talk about their divorce until it’s been featured on Couples Cam.

It will be interesting to see how it plays out, but if there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s that Erik and Virginia are no longer legally married!

Christine from Sister Wives’ Extreme Weight Loss Transformation

Hey y’all- Max, the Celeb Talk guy here.

A lot of you may have heard in my videos about the Sister Wives that I’ve been reading their 2013 book, “Becoming Sister Wives: The Story of an Unconventional Marriage.”

In the book, a lot of the love story between Kody and Christine Brown focuses on how he wasn’t attracted to her at first because she was “chubby.” (Kody’s own words)

Over the years and as she had babies, Christine’s weight has fluctuated, which is why fans took note when she started posting photos of her extreme weight loss on social media.

Now that most of her kids are grown and require less of her attention, it seems as though Christine has committed to a new diet and healthy lifestyle.

It’s clear she’s been trying to live her best life, and especially after her explosive fight with Kody in the Season 10 finale over their daughter’s back surgery and Christine’s want to move back to Utah, fans are hopeful that this turn-of-events may lead to a separation between the two.

Christine has been using her Instagram platform to promote the clothing she sells with Lularoe, but fans are focused less on the clothes and more on how amazing she looks.

On May 5th, she posted a picture saying that she was getting her second Covid vaccine while wearing a Lularoe outfit, writing:

Celebrating CINCO DE MAYO with tacos and guacamole is my FAVORITE! I got my Covid vaccine today and if i’m feeling too sick to eat tacos, I’m going to loose (sic) it like a piñata loses it’s candy!

Then on June 28th, 2021, she shared a photo from her “new backdrop”:

I’m not usually an animal print person, but this @lularoe Ariel. I’m obsessed with! And, I found a new backdrop for photos.

Fans were super impressed with her transformation, asking her how she did it and giving her compliments on her new look and happiness.

Luckily for fans, Christine actually shared the secrets to her rapid weight loss in 2019.

On an Instagram Live, she told fans that she started eating based on her blood type, and that she had started working out. Christine said that there are a lot of health benefits that come with “eating for your blood type” and that it was the secret for her crazy weight loss.

Given her explosive fight on the Season 10 finale of Sister Wives and her crazy transformation, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that fans may get their wish and see Christine leave Kody and start a new life. What do you think’s going to happen? Will Christine leave Kody?

Doug & Rachel from Love After Lockup Spoiler

Hey y’all- Max, the Celeb Talk Guy here.

Rachel & Doug are one of the most eccentric couples on this season’s Love After Lockup, and after a few weeks of rumors, we have some spoilers about the status of their relationship.

WARNING: Do not keep reading if you don’t want to know spoilers about this couple.

According to Starcasm, Rachel has now filed for divorce from Doug two times. This comes after Doug was listed as an “absconder from parole” on the Michigan Department of Corrections site, and had a warrant out for his arrest due to tampering with an electronic monitoring device.

This won’t come as a shock to fans who watched him complain about the details of his release, and the fact that he’d have to wear an electronic monitoring device, on this season of Love After Lockup.

Well, Starcasm took that information even further and discovered that Doug is in a new relationship… and the woman claims they’ve been together on and off for 12 years!

It began when Doug’s new lady, Brittany, posted a photo of the two of them kissing in front of a lake, similar to the scene when Doug and Rachel were reunited after his prison release.

Photo Credit: Starcasm

She posted the following caption alongside the picture:

Our journey over the last 12 years has been rough to say the least, but I’ve never doubted our path would come together. We went through a lot to get to one another but I’m excited to see all the places we will go now that the sun has risen for us. Xoxo

Yes, Doug has known Brittany for 12 years, if social media posts are any indication. There are posts over the last 12 years that reference her.

However, they haven’t been together for that entire time. She has 3 children that Doug is not the father of. When Brittany posted a photo of them, Doug commented that she was raising her kids on her own, making it clear that they’re not his children, despite the fact that they’ve known each other for 12 years.

Doug and Brittany were officially in a relationship on Facebook as of May 22, 2021. Considering Rachel filed for divorce in November 2020, it doesn’t appear that there was any overlap.

Rachel, to her own credit, seems to be doing well and is okay with making jokes about the situation. She recently posted this photo with the following caption:

“I’ve always been lookin for dudes in striped shirts”

Hopefully, Rachel’s able to move on from this situation and meet someone who treats her right. In the meantime, I don’t know about you guys, but I look forward to seeing what goes down between these two!

Clara from Married at First Sight Calls out Ex Ryan

Hey y’all- Max, the Celeb Talk Guy here.

Ryan Clara MAFS Ryan Oubre and Clara Fergus Credit: Lifetime

Well, the Season 12 cast from Married at First Sight just keeps giving us more and more drama, even though the season is over!

Earlier this week, Clara and Ryan Oubre shocked fans when they announced they were separating.

The pair seemed strong- much stronger than most of their other cast mates who had already chosen to divorce.

After the announcement, Clara announced that she would be taking a break from social media. However, that turned out not to be the case. She took to TikTok on Tuesday night to post a video about her divorce.

Clara, who has become known on social media as a “Swiftie” by posting photos with Taylor Swift lyrics as captions, TikToks ranking her albums, and most recently, posting a song from her most recent album, evermore, about a failing relationship, “tolerate it” hours before the divorce announcement, joked in the TikTok that “After an interesting turn of events, it looks like I will be relating to Taylor Swift’s rerecording of the Red album after all.”

Taylor Swift’s Red album is known for being the album that primarily focuses on her 2012 relationship and subsequent breakup with Jake Gyllenhaal. Swift recently announced that it would be the next album she would rerecord to reclaim ownership of her master recordings, and the sound Clara used in her TikTok is highlighting that while making light of her divorce from Ryan.

Clara took it one step further by using lyrics from the song that most fans believe is Taylor Swift’s most devastating break-up song, All Too Well, as the caption: “So casually cruel in the name of being honest.” It’s safe to say that that caption gives us some insight into what went down between the two.

This TikTok and the caption make it pretty clear that Clara was just as blindsided by the divorce as fans of Married At First Sight, right?

Well, Clara took it even further once again by commenting on the TikTok with one more little bit of information.

A fan asked, “Weren’t you all planning your vow renewal for NYE?”

To which she responded, “Yep. If you know anyone who wants a couple hundred dollars worth of New Year’s Eve party decorations then send them my way.”

Once again, making it pretty obvious to fans that this was Ryan’s decision, and Clara was blindsided.

What do y’all think? Are you shocked? Do you think there’s any hope for a reconciliation? I can’t help but wonder what happened so suddenly that led to their split…

Amelia & Bennett from Married at First Sight Separation Rumors

Hey y’all- Max, the Celeb Talk Guy here.

Yesterday, Ryan and Clara Oubre from Season 12 of Married at First Sight announced that they’re separating, which came as a shock to fans, but an even bigger shock to fans are all of the rumors swirling that Amelia Fatsi and Bennett Kirschner from Season 11 have separated as well.

Amelia and Bennett were paired on the 11th Season of Married at First Sight and quickly became fan favorites after it was revealed that they shared mutual friends and had met briefly in social situations before. They were known for their complimentary quirky personalities, and everyone thought they were a match made in heaven.

Well, now fans are questioning if things have gone south for the pair.

Amelia and Bennett did opt out of being featured on Couples Cam, but many believed that this was indicative of Amelia’s busy residency rather than any cracks in their relationship.

Unfortunately, that might have been the case, because fans have allegedly recently seen Amelia’s dating profile on Bumble.

MAFSFan on Instagram also received a tip from a “source close to Bennett” that said: “She unexpectedly and inexplicably dumped me.”

As MAFSFan noted, that is a sentence that sounds like something Bennett would say.

Well, now we have even more proof that Amelia and Bennett may no longer be together.

One Reddit user, Select-Estimate, noticed that Amelia recently posted a picture to her Instagram story that featured her getting up-close and personal in a yoga pose that was definitely not her husband, Bennett.

On top of this, it’s become obvious that Bennett has returned to New Orleans, while Amelia is still doing her residency in Virginia.

Bennett, who was previously fairly private on social media, has started sharing multiple social media posts to his Instagram promoting the various events and projects that he’s part of in New Orleans…

Including one photo of him and a female friend in June that had fans questioning the state of his marriage.

Some fans were more casual and asked how Amelia was, but others commented things such as “Personally I wouldn’t want my husband with his arm around another woman’s waist like that.”

On the other hand, Amelia shared a video of herself singing, and fans were quick to note that she no longer had a wedding ring on her left hand.

What do you think this means for Amelia and Bennett? Could they be done? Taking a break? I don’t know about y’all, but if they are over, I’ll be pretty upset! They were one of the most perfect matches in MAFS history!
