Bethenny Frankel Loves This Now-$12 Hand Cream That ‘Smells Like Real Strawberries’

9 April 2025 at 12:30

If it feels like strawberry motifs are everywhere this spring, you’re not wrong. Strawberry scented lip balms, body washes, perfumes and even hand creams seem to have ripened overnight. “When did strawberries become the new llamas? I can’t move without seeing strawberry something,” Bethenny Frankel recently joked about on TikTok.

The Real Housewives of New York City alum isn’t complaining, though. Frankel recently took to TikTok to showcase her favorite strawberry finds. In a sea of products — many of which can smell like artificial strawberry candy — she found one that could pass for a freshly picked berry: the TonyMoly Strawberry Hand Cream. Bonus: It’s nearly half-off at Amazon!

Shoppers in Their 50s Swear by This $17 Eye Cream for Targeting Crows Feet

“[This] smells like actual, real fresh strawberries,” Frankel raves in the video. Beyond the mouth-watering aroma, Frankel also loves the adorable packaging: The hand cream is housed in a giant strawberry-shaped container. “Cute factor overload,” she adds.

The formula, which is enriched with strawberry extract, features nourishing shea butter to deeply soften and repair dry, cracked hands. Frankel noticed a difference from the first use, and she keeps coming back for the delectable, long-lasting strawberry scent. It’s no secret that Frankel is a fan of affordable beauty finds. This delightful hand cream is only $12 right now — almost half off its original $20 price tag.

Frankel isn’t the only person singing this hand cream’s praises. Amazon shoppers have fallen in love with the product and mention that the cutesy packaging is just the cherry (err strawberry) on top of an overall effective body moisturizer.

“This lotion smells divine and the container is really cute,” one reviewer writes. “I generally don’t buy stuff with over-the-top packaging. It  is a bit much — just a small amount in large plastic strawberry 🍓 — but I did justify it to myself by thinking, ‘well I will just re-use this cute container!'”

Another shopper says a major selling point is the kitschy container: “Despite this being a big hunk of plastic, I love it,” they say. “The cream itself is very rich and strawberry-y. This child of the 70s (remember Strawberry Shortcake dolls?) finds some nostalgia in it. Also, I will use this container long after the lotion is gone to hold some little stash.”

We could all use a little extra joy in our lives, and the TonyMoly Strawberry Hand Cream certainly delivers. At this price, we’re gifting one to all our friends this spring!

Get the TonyMoly Strawberry Hand Cream for $12 (originally $20) at Amazon!

Ryan Reynolds Emerges for a Casual Solo Stroll Amid Justin Baldoni Lawsuit

9 April 2025 at 12:24

Ryan Reynolds stepped out on his own in the Big Apple amid ongoing legal drama with wife Blake Lively’s It Ends With Us director, Justin Baldoni.

Reynolds, 48, was photographed walking in New York City on Wednesday, April 9, dressed casually in a gray cardigan and matching sweatpants. The actor completed his ensemble with a peach-colored T-shirt and a pair of sunglasses.

Reynolds and Lively, 37, have both been keeping relatively low profiles amid the ongoing lawsuit. She first accused Baldoni, 41, of sexual harassment and fostering a hostile work environment on the set of 2024’s It Ends With Us in court documents filed late last year.

Baldoni vehemently denied the claims, later naming Lively and Reynolds in a $400 million defamation suit. The married couple rebuffed the accusations, each filing to dismiss the case in March.

How Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds Are Coping Amid Justin Baldoni Lawsuits

“The entirety of Mr. Baldoni’s case appears to be based on Mr. Reynolds allegedly privately calling Mr. Baldoni a ‘predator,’ but here is the problem, that is not defamation unless they can show that Mr. Reynolds did not believe that statement to be true,” Reynolds’ attorneys Mike Gottlieb and Esra Hudson told Us in a statement last month. “The complaint doesn’t allege that, and just the opposite, the allegations in the complaint suggest that Mr. Reynolds genuinely believes Mr. Baldoni is a predator.”

Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, subsequently argued that Reynolds’ request should be denied given his alleged involvement in the film’s production. (Lively even claimed at the August 2024 premiere that Reynolds helped rewrite a pivotal scene in the script without the screenwriter’s knowledge.)

Ryan Reynolds Allegedly Berated Justin Baldoni for 'Fat-Shaming' Blake

“Mr. Reynolds’ exploitation of his enormous power in Hollywood continues, this time arrogantly asking to be dismissed from the case despite his publicly documented involvement extending far beyond just being a ‘supportive spouse,’” Freedman told Us. “Reynolds was a key player in the scheme, defaming Justin around Hollywood, strong-arming WME into dropping Justin as a client, and trying to destroy Justin’s career however possible. His fingerprints have been all over this smear campaign against Justin and the Wayfarer team since day one.”

The attorney added, “Mr. Reynolds now attempts to reduce plainly cognizable claims to ‘hurt feelings,’ sending a clear message that bullying is acceptable. After lighting a match, Mr. Reynolds now seeks to run from the flames. It won’t work. The Wayfarer Parties’ claims against him are real, and they are serious.”

A judge has yet to rule on Lively and Reynolds’ respective motions to dismiss. A trial date is currently slated for spring 2026.

Justin Bieber Hypes Up Hailey As She Flaunts Her Curves at Fashion Awards

9 April 2025 at 12:19

Hailey Bieber made a striking appearance while flying solo at the third annual Fashion Trust Awards, held on Tuesday, April 8, in West Hollywood.

For the star-studded soirée, the model and Rhode beauty mogul chose a curve-skimming aubergine-colored gown by Saint Laurent, a luxury label for which she serves as an ambassador and enjoys a close relationship with its creative director, Anthony Vaccarello.

While Hailey, 28, opted to skip the traditional red carpet, she played a significant role inside the event, presenting Vaccarello with the Honorary Award in recognition of his profound impact on the fashion industry.

Notably absent from the event was Hailey’s husband, Justin Bieber (who share a son, Jack Blues, 7 months). However, the singer made sure to publicly show his support for his wife’s stunning look by taking to Instagram to post a photo of Hailey in her elegant attire, followed by a close-up selfie of her, too.

Justin, 31, chose to let the images speak for themselves, foregoing a caption. Still, his sweet gesture resonated with fans, as evidenced by supportive comments like “Gotta support our better halves 💕.”

Another follower echoed this sentiment, writing, “Justin is always super supportive to Hailey. Bro posts more about Hailey than himself 😭😭.”

Hailey’s choice of attire, a chic aubergine halter dress, perfectly embodied her and Vaccarello’s shared aesthetic of restrained yet striking glamour. The dress featured a distinctive wraparound, ruched fabric, strategically placed cut-outs and a sheer skirt, creating a sultry, alluring silhouette.

She even coordinated her nails to match the deep purple hue of her dress, a departure from her usual “glazed donut” manicure, opting instead for an eggplant shade. Her glam remained characteristically understated and beautifully natural, featuring a subtle lip tint and highlighter.

Hailey Bieber's Enviable Fashion Evolution Through the Years

She complemented the look with a few Tiffany & Co. cocktail rings, allowing the dress to take center stage. Her brunette hair was styled down with soft, barely-there curls, while her signature lit-from-within glowing skin completed the polished ensemble’s subtle sheen.

During the evening, Hailey and Vaccarello were seen posing together, enjoying chicken nuggets topped with caviar and even filming an Instagram Story dancing and singing at their star table.

Hailey also mingled with other stylish guests, including Normani, who donned vintage Geoffrey Beene, as well as Lori Harvey and Ciara. Other fashionable attendees included Julia Fox, who embraced a bold and theatrical Marni polka-dot frock (replete with vaudevillian makeup), model Aweng Chuol in Oude Wang and Kehlani in a look by Grace Ling.

Meanwhile, Hailey delivered a heartfelt speech honoring Vaccarello’s contributions. According to Vogue, she gushed, “There is a purpose in every stitch. Anthony Vaccarello, your journey is a testament to the transformative power of fashion, and we are so proud to celebrate you.”

Former Stepdad! Ashton Kutcher and Willis Girls' Quotes About Each Other

9 April 2025 at 12:00

Ashton Kutcher became a stepdad in his mid-20s when he married his first wife, Demi Moore, who shares three daughters with ex-husband Bruce Willis.

“I was 26, bearing the responsibility of an 8-year-old, a 10-year-old, and a 12-year-old,” the That ‘70s Show alum told Esquire in January 2023, recalling his role as a father figure to Moore and Willis’ daughters, Rumer, Scout and Tallulah, when he married the Now and Then actress in 2005.

“That’s how some teen parents must experience their 20s,” he reflected.

Though Kutcher had his own biological children with wife Mila Kunis after he and Moore finalized their divorce in 2013, he still “make[s] a really conscious effort to stay in touch with the girls,” the Dude, Where’s My Car? actor shared on Marc Maron’s “WTF” podcast in 2020. “I love them, and I’m never going to stop loving them, right? And respecting them and honoring them and rooting for them to be successful in whatever they’re pursuing.”

The Willis girls, for their part, have also discussed what it was like having Kutcher as a stepdad — which admittedly came with some “weird” moments.

Rumer told Howard Stern in 2015 that she had a crush on the Two and a Half Men alum before her mom began dating him in 2003.

“It was definitely weird for a minute, but I have to commend him. He was a really great stepfather. The perspective switched quickly,” the House Bunny star shared at the time. “That’s when you open up your Teen Beat, you take him down and put somebody else up. I feel like I told my sister that at some point, ‘Gotta cross him off the list.’”

“It was definitely weird for a minute, but I have to commend him,” Rumer told Stern in 2015 when reflecting on her early 2000s crush on Kutcher — before he became her stepdad. “He was a really great stepfather. The perspective switched quickly. That’s when you open up your Teen Beat, you take him down and put somebody else up. I feel like I told my sister that at some point, ‘Gotta cross him off the list.’”
As for her thoughts on Moore marrying a man 15 years her junior? “I was kind of impressed,” the Dancing With the Stars alum quipped. “I was like ‘Yeah girl, get it!’”

“I loved those kids like my own kids, and I helped raise them until Tallulah was 18 when we got divorced,” the Jobs actor also told Stern in 2015.

“So much of that time, especially with Ashton, I was so angry because I felt like something that was mine had been taken away,” she recalled on Red Table Talk in 2015. “When she wanted to have another baby, and then it wasn’t happening, and then there was so much focus on that, it was like, ‘Oh we’re not enough.’”

Tallulah felt “forgotten” in her mom’s marriage to Kutcher, she explained on Red Table Talk. (Moore, for her part, admitted she was emotionally distant due to her “addiction” to Kutcher.)
“I developed and I nurtured a narrative that she didn’t love me,” Tallulah said. “I truly believed it. And I know that she does. 100 percent, but in that moment, you’re hurt. And you can’t fathom that someone that loves you would do that to you. And would [choose] others more than you.”

While Kutcher and his former stepdaughters “don’t hang out,” the Your Place or Mine actor told Maron in 2020, “I make a really conscious effort to stay in touch with the girls. I love them, and I’m never going to stop loving them, right? And respecting them and honoring them and rooting for them to be successful in whatever they’re pursuing.”

“I was 26, bearing the responsibility of an 8-year-old, a 10-year-old, and a 12-year-old,” Kutcher told Esquire in January 2023. “That’s how some teen parents must experience their 20s.”

“It was, like, 2003, [and] my mom had just started dating Ashton,” she recalled to Stars on Mars 20 years later, in June 2023. “It was that moment, [when] a lot [was] going on, [that] I really went inside of myself. … That did send me into, like, a total dumpster fire. It was really hard, and I’m still unpacking.”

Tallulah reacted to Gwyneth Paltrow’s Instagram video in April 2025 with husband Brad Falchuk about navigating step-parenting. “I have a lot to say on this! Especially how to move through an ex- step parent ❤️❤️,” Tallulah wrote.
After one user asked whether she was referring to Kutcher, Tallulah replied, “This maybe should have been a private message lol but yes I have personal experience with this.” Tallulah noted that it’s “an important conversation,” adding, “No one needs to be [a] bad guy for a situation to be healed. there’s room for everyone.”

Meghan and Kylie's Postpartum Stories Are Brutally Honest — But Don't Panic

9 April 2025 at 12:00
Meghan Markle and Kylie Kelce’s Postpartum Stories Are Brutally Honest — But Don't Panic
Meghan Markle

When you’re expecting a baby — especially if it happens to be your first — you spend a lot of time going down rabbit holes online. Googling weird symptoms (“mustard on cake craving normal?”), researching unique baby names and, of course, lapping up any stories you can find about celebrities at a similar life stage.

That’s why many moms-to-be eagerly devoured the stories Meghan Markle and Kylie Kelce shared this week — only to find themselves freaking out about what might lie ahead. Sure, it’s refreshing when celebrities open up and offer a more unfiltered view of their lives, but it can also be pretty confronting.

Meghan, 43, opened up about her postpartum experience in the first episode of her new “Confessions of a Female Founder” podcast released on Tuesday, April 8 —chatting with Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd about the fact that both women had suffered from postpartum preeclampsia, a life-threatening condition in new moms.

“It’s so rare and so scary, and you’re still trying to juggle all of these things and the world doesn’t know what’s happening quietly,” said the mom of Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3. “In the quiet, you’re still trying to show up for people, and in the quiet, you’re still just trying to show up mostly for your children. But those things are huge medical scares.” Herd chimed in that the condition was “life or death, truly.” (While Meghan didn’t specify which of her pregnancies her frightening experience came after, it’s believed that the condition came during her postpartum period with Archie.)

Meghan Markle’s Best Quotes About Royal Struggles Since 2020 Exit

Meanwhile, Kylie, 33, spoke about her pregnancy experiences and postpartum mental health on the Thursday, April 3 episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast, recorded just two days after giving birth to her daughter Finnley, her fourth with Jason Kelce. (The couple also share Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 4 and Bennett, 2.)

While Kylie emphasized how grateful she is to have kids, she admitted that she didn’t enjoy pregnancy, as well as struggling with the emotional ups and downs of new motherhood. “You can have these thoughts and feelings, you can have these anxious moments, you can have this rage, experience this range of emotion, or even a step further, an actual mood disorder postpartum,” she said. “But you can still love your child and be happy that your child is here and be happy to be a mother and to be grateful for the experience.”

It’s powerful when these high-profile women use their own platforms to be super-candid about life as new moms (“that dual-experience”, as Kelce called it) — but it can also be seriously anxiety-inducing for women terrified about the huge changes their bodies, minds and whole lives are about to go through (as many as 70% of women experience anxiety and stress during pregnancy!).

Of course, there are even some big stars talking about motherhood who haven’t experienced it themselves —like Chappell Roan who incited a million reactionary TikToks and online think pieces when she said on the March 26 episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast that all of her friends with kids are miserable. “‘I actually don’t know anyone who is happy and has children at this age,” said the 27-year-old singer. “I have literally not met anyone who is happy, anyone who has light in their eyes, anyone who has slept.”

Teyana Taylor and More Celeb Moms Get Real About Postpartum Depression

Sure, new moms are tired — and some old moms are pretty tired too, thanks for asking — but it’s important to remember when consuming these dramatic sound bites that everyday motherhood doesn’t often make headlines. People don’t talk much about the ordinary stuff, because they’re too busy living it, and it’s often not very interesting to outsiders (especially if you’re one of Roan’s old high school friends and feeling like your life might be a little boring and basic compared to your insanely talented pop star pal).

Just like no one writes a Yelp review to say their mid-range chain hotel stay was “perfectly fine”, few women go online to say their pregnancy was boring, their birth was painful but routine, and now they’re just… getting on with it. What shows up on social media and in the news is the extreme — because that’s what gets attention.

Right now, motherhood has too many different publicists all telling a different story because ultimately, every experience is unique. There are highs, lows, health scares, first smiles, pain, pleasure, good nights, bad nights, nights you’ve blocked out entirely and more different shades of bodily fluid than you ever imagined existed. But, almost all of the time, moms are glad to be moms.

As Kylie Kelce put it, there’s one thing moms from all walks of life have in common, and that’s guilt; guilt that their own, perfectly unique version of motherhood isn’t the right one and that they’re not enjoying it enough.

Celeb Moms Debut Postpartum Bodies Days After Giving Birth

“It’s so important for women to hear that specifically because there is still that immense amount of guilt associated with the fact that you would even think, ‘What would happen if,’ or that you aren’t finding joy in everyday life, or it feels redundant that you get up every day and you do breakfast, and you do this, and you do that, and it’s the same routine every [day],” she said. “And so I think that the idea of encouraging women to speak out when they’re having those moments, the liberating feeling will be worth it.”

So sure, listen to this new breed of emotionally open celebrities and appreciate them for using their huge platforms to raise awareness of rare health issues and the challenges of pregnancy, birth and motherhood, instead of sugar-coating everything. Someone as famous as Duchess Meghan talking about a thankfully rare condition like postpartum preeclampsia could genuinely save lives.

And sure, watch the influencers dismantling all the celebrities’ hard work with their perfect, pastel-toned nurseries, suspiciously stain-free outfits and easy-breezy take on motherhood. They can’t help it; they mostly learned it from the celebrities who came before.

Even Meghan’s guest, Herd, remarked on the podcast that she herself had been intimidated by unrealistic images of motherhood — by Meghan! “I was either just becoming or about to become a new mom and I was like, ‘Oh my God, how is this woman doing this? How is this woman putting on heels and going and debuting a child in this beautiful outfit in front of the entire world?’,” she said. “I could barely face a doorbell delivery for takeout food in a robe. I was like, ‘Please don’t look at me! Leave it down the street!’”

Kylie Jenner Details 'Painful' Postpartum Depression After Both Pregnancies

Just remember to talk to the real moms in your network, too. Chances are, most of them don’t have any extreme, scary medical stories and will probably say “Hmm, pregnancy was kinda boring and I felt sick to start with and then mostly just a little tired, and the birth? Yeah, it hurt but I’m OK now. And motherhood, it’s—” before getting interrupted by a baby yanking on their nursing bra.

Because that’s the version of motherhood you’ll usually see if you take out the Airpods and log out of social media: it’s not dramatic or devastating or perfectly filtered, just lived — with eye bags, caffeine and a lot of love.

Michelle Obama Addresses Speculation She and Husband Barack Are Divorcing

9 April 2025 at 11:57

Michelle Obama shut down rampant speculation that she and her husband, former president Barack Obama, are ending their marriage.

“I still care about girls’ education. The library is opening in a year from now, [but there are] certain things I am and am not doing with the library,” Michelle, 61, said on the Tuesday, April 8, episode of Sophia Bush’s “Work in Progress” iHeartRadio podcast. “But, the interesting thing is that when I say no [to a project], for the most part, people are like, ‘I get it’ and I’m OK. That’s the thing that we as women struggle with — disappointing people.”

She added, “I mean, so much so that this year people were, they couldn’t even fathom that I was making a choice for myself, that they had to assume that my husband and I are divorcing. This couldn’t be a grown woman just making a set of decisions for herself. But, that’s what society does to us. We start actually finally going, ‘What am I doing? Who am I doing this for?’”

According to Michelle, if actions don’t “fit into the stereotype of what people think we should do,” they will get “labeled as something negative and horrible.”

Barack Obama and Michelle Obama: A Timeline of Their Relationship

Michelle and Barack, 63, have been married since 1992 after meeting a decade earlier during their early legal careers in Chicago. They welcomed daughters Malia and Sasha in 1998 and 2001, respectively. Seven years after Sasha was born, Barack was elected president of the United States. After two consecutive terms, Barack left the White House in 2016.

Since the end of his presidency, both Barack and Michelle have worked on joint and individual projects.

“There’s always got to be drama, if it doesn’t look like other people’s choices,” Bush, 42, speculated on Wednesday. “I think for both of you, as a viewer from the outside, … I’m like, ‘God, look at them being happy. I love this. You’re back and forth to Hawaii.’ Please let my life be so dramatic on my 61st birthday.”

After Michelle turned 61 in January, Barack posted a sweet social media tribute to his better half.

Michelle Obama Says She and Barack Obama Aren't Always ‘Couple Goals’

“Happy birthday to the love of my life, @MichelleObama,” he gushed via X. “You fill every room with warmth, wisdom, humor, and grace — and you look good doing it. I’m so lucky to be able to take on life’s adventures with you. Love you!”

Michelle subsequently reposted Barack’s message onto her account, writing, “Love you, honey!”

Tallulah Willis Makes Rare Comment on Mom Demi Moore’s Ex Ashton Kutcher

9 April 2025 at 11:44

Tallulah Willis is shedding light on her relationship with mom Demi Moore’s ex-husband Ashton Kutcher.

The conversation began when Willis, 31, weighed in after Gwyneth Paltrow shared an Instagram post with husband Brad Falchuk about navigating stepparenting. (Paltrow, 52, shares daughter Apple, 20, and son Moses, 19, with ex-husband Chris Martin, while Falchuk, 54, is the father of daughter Isabella, 19, and son Brody, 20, whom he shares with ex-wife Suzanne Bukinik.)

“I have a lot to say on this! Especially how to move through an ex- step parent ❤❤,” Willis wrote.

One user then asked whether she was referring to Kutcher, and Willis replied, “This maybe should have been a private message lol but yes I have personal experience with this.”

Tallulah Willis: Demi Moore and Ashton's Marriage Was ‘Really Hard’ on Me

Willis noted that it’s “an important conversation,” adding, “No one needs to be [a] bad guy for a situation to be healed. there’s room for everyone.”

Moore, now 62, and Kutcher, now 47, tied the knot in 2005 when Willis was 8 years old. (Moore also shares daughters Scout and Rumer with ex-husband Bruce Willis, from whom she split in 2000.)

Us Weekly broke the news in 2011 that Kutcher was allegedly unfaithful. Moore announced the twosome’s separation later that year. Their divorce was finalized in 2013, two years before Kutcher tied the knot with Mila Kunis. (Kutcher shares daughter Wyatt, 10, and son Dimitri, 8, with Kunis, 41.)

Tallulah has been candid about how her mom’s marriage to Kutcher negatively impacted her childhood. She shared in a June 2023 episode of Stars on Mars that she “didn’t fully understand” the attention surrounding her family until Moore’s romance with Kutcher.

“It was, like, 2003, [and] my mom had just started dating Ashton,” Tallulah recalled. “It was that moment [when] a lot [was] going on [that] I really went inside of myself. That did send me into, like, a total dumpster fire. It was really hard, and I’m still unpacking.”

Kutcher, who was 15 years younger than Moore, has also been open about becoming a stepfather in his 20s to Moore’s three daughters.

“I was 26, bearing the responsibility of an 8-year-old, a 10-year-old, and a 12-year-old,” he told Esquire in January 2023 in response to Moore’s memoir, Inside Out, which detailed their relationship ups and downs. “That’s how some teen parents must experience their 20s.”

Despite his split from Moore, Kutcher shared that he still “make[s] a really conscious effort to stay in touch with the girls.” He shared on Marc Maron’s “WTF” podcast in 2020. “I love them, and I’m never going to stop loving them, right? And respecting them and honoring them and rooting for them to be successful in whatever they’re pursuing.”

Machine Gun Kelly Reacts to Joke About Megan Fox Parenting Him

9 April 2025 at 11:23

Machine Gun Kelly can take a joke.

Two weeks after welcoming a baby girl with ex-girlfriend Megan Fox, the rapper shared a post from the satirical website The Onion via his Instagram Story that depicted him as the child in the relationship.

“Megan Fox Confirms She and New Baby Will Co-parent Machine Gun Kelly,” the headline read.

Kelly, 34, added three laughing emojis on top of the post.

Kelly proposed to Fox, 38, in 2022, but revealed their split shortly before the Transformers star announced her pregnancy last November. A source told Us Weekly at the time that the pair was “doing their best to cope in their own ways after calling it quits.”

Fox is also the mother of Noah, 12, Bodhi, 10, and Journey, 8, whom she shares with ex-husband Brian Austin Green. Kelly also parents 15-year-old daughter Casie with ex Emma Cannon.

In the leadup to their daughter’s arrival, Kelly made headlines for his ongoing feud with Green, 51. Tensions reached a boiling point the day the baby was born, when Green posted scathing direct messages that appeared to be from Kelly.

“Stop asking when our child is gonna born. You the FEDS,” one message read. “Quit calling TMZ and focus on that apology you owe me for speaking on my name in public.”

The message continued, “You chose the wrong one to f*** with mr child actor. Go back to cereal commercials.”

Later that day, Kelly took to Instagram to announce the baby’s arrival.

“She’s finally here!! our little celestial seed 🥹💓♈♓♊,” he wrote under a short video featuring the newborn’s hands appearing to grasp Fox’s. “3/27/25.”

In the time since, a source tells Us that “the baby has brought [Fox and Kelly] closer together,” though they have no plans to rekindle their romantic relationship anytime soon.

“The baby is already wrapped around his finger,” the insider continued. “Megan has noticed his energy is different, the look in his eyes is different, his aura has changed. She feels the baby is exactly what he needed, and she is hoping it sticks.”

The source characterized their relationship as “still complicated,” adding that it’s “a mix of healing and hard conversations that they have had.” Fox remains worried that Kelly will “change” again and become “the guy she doesn’t know.”

Fox, for her part, seems to be reveling in her post-pregnancy life.

“Megan has really leaned into motherhood again,” a source said. “She loved when her kids were little and has missed that phase. She feels renewed and refreshed.”

Amy Duggar Reveals Husband Dillon King's Organs Have Shifted in His Chest

9 April 2025 at 11:20

Amy Duggar King’s husband, Dillon King, has been diagnosed with a severe diaphragmatic rupture.

“After continued pain and concerns that could no longer be ignored, we sought medical attention, only to receive news no one ever expects to hear,” Amy, 38, told People on Wednesday, April 9. “Dillon has been diagnosed with a severe diaphragmatic rupture — an extremely rare and dangerous condition that has caused vital organs, including his kidney and parts of his digestive system, to shift into his chest cavity.”

After Dillon, 37, underwent CT scans, doctors found a four-inch tear in his diaphragm and discovered that his right kidney, appendix, colon and small intestines had all been “displaced” inside the body.

“Doctors have made it clear that this is not a quick fix,” Amy told the outlet. “The risks are high, the procedures complex and the recovery uncertain. We are taking this one moment at a time, clinging to hope, prayer, and the wisdom of the medical teams who are now walking this road with us.”

“This has shaken our family deeply,” Amy said. “Dillon is a fighter — anyone who knows him knows his strength — but even the strongest among us sometimes face battles we never anticipated. … We will share more as we’re able, but for now, our focus is on Dillon’s health, our family’s faith and the fight in front of us.”

Amy revealed via Instagram earlier this month that Dillon had been taken to the hospital to address “possible life-threatening medical concerns.”

“Today, I’d like to ask for some prayers on his behalf,” Amy wrote in a birthday tribute. “I know God has him, but we welcome the prayers!! I can’t think of a better gift for him! Dillon, we can get through anything together.”

Amy’s cousins Jessa Duggar, Jinger Duggar, Jill Duggar and more all shared their prayers in the comments section. (Amy’s mother, Deanna Duggar, is the sister of 19 Kids and Counting patriarch Jim Bob Duggar.)

Amy and Dillon have been married since 2015, later welcoming son Dax in 2019.

“It’s not just the smiles on our faces that matter, but the stories behind those smiles,” Dillon gushed of their marriage in a July 2023 Instagram post. “Each one holds a chapter of our journey— the laughter, the tears, the highs, and the lows — all woven together with empathy and love. Together, we’ve navigated the challenges that life threw at us, and it’s made our bond even stronger. Love you.”
