Did Whitney Cummings just throw some subtle shade at Grace O’Malley’s old boss? Fans definitely think so.

The debut episode of O’Malley’s “Disgraceful” podcast launched on Thursday, February 20, with Cummings, 42, as her first guest. O’Malley, 26, joked with Cummings about trying to find a cohost for the show, quickly poking fun at the elephant in the room (her past podcast with ex-BFF Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia).

“We should either be cohosts or friends, maybe not both,” Cummings said. O’Malley replied, “That’s a great idea.”

Cummings joked, “I would rather be your cohost than your friend. I have loved being your friend, I love you dearly, but Mommy’s got bills. So, let’s end our friendship because working with friends, it, maybe, doesn’t go so well.”

O’Malley wondered where to “draw the line” between friendship and business, asking if texting was on the table.

“Maybe, schedule a Zoom. Maybe a slack and HR to be there,” Cummings said. “Oh HR, OK so, you don’t know what this is. HR it is an office where if you are being mistreated by your boss or maybe, like, publicly discussed by an older man and having the details of your life and emotional traumas exploited, you can go to someone and be, like, help.”

O’Malley replied, “That can’t be real.”

Cummings continued the joke as both women laughed.

“You know what’s wild? It’s common that most people complain there’s too much of it,” she said. “But you have had none of it. But this is something that … protects employees.”

TikTok users were quick to clip this discussion from the podcast episode — which occurred within the first three minutes — and claim that Cummings was subtly (or maybe not) referencing O’Malley’s past with Barstool Sports.

O’Malley previously cohosted Barstool’s “PlanBri Uncut” podcast alongside LaPaglia. The women had a falling out late last year, which O’Malley confirmed via Instagram Stories in December 2024. LaPaglia then went on her other show, the “BFFs Podcast,” to discuss what went down between them while she was in an apparent abusive relationship with singer Zach Bryan.

“I really needed her, so I couldn’t do the podcast anymore because we’re sitting there pretending to be friends,” LaPaglia claimed in December 2024. “I didn’t feel seen by her. I needed to set a boundary.”

Earlier this year, O’Malley appeared on “This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von” and discussed her time at Barstool, hinting that LaPaglia made more than her.

“I didn’t make anything when I was there. I had a salary and that was kind of it,” she alleged. “I had the option to leave and I took it.”

Barstool Employees Who’ve Detailed Salaries and Contract Negotiations

Barstool founder Dave Portnoy, who had continuously weighed in on the drama between O’Malley and LaPaglia, made a social media video breaking down O’Malley’s salary at the media company. (Portnoy has also said multiple times that Barstool does have HR.)

“She was in the last year of a 3-year deal,” he explained in January, noting that her base salary was $175,000, and she apparently made 70 percent “of anything that we were able to sell on her personal socials.”

He wondered if the interview was “cut up” or “misconstrued” but wanted to set the record straight.

“It does bother me when people make it seem like they’re not getting paid fairly,” Portnoy added. “I think we treated — as I’ve said from the beginning — Grace great.”

O’Malley has since left Barstool and launched her “Disgraceful” podcast with the Unwell Network.

In a home run for New York Yankees fans, the team’s players are finally allowed to have facial hair.

“In recent weeks I have spoken to a large number of former and current Yankees — spanning several eras — to elicit their perspectives on our longstanding facial hair and grooming policy, and I appreciate their earnest and varied feedback,” Hal Steinbrenner, managing general partner of the Yankees, shared in a statement via Instagram on Friday, February 21. “These most recent conversations are an extension of ongoing internal dialogue that dates back several years.”

Steinbrenner, 55, continued, “Ultimately the final decision rests with me, and after great consideration, we will be amending our expectations to allow our players and uniformed personnel to have well-groomed beards moving forward. It is the appropriate time to move beyond the familiar comfort of our former policy.”

The policy was initially put in place in 1976 by Hal’s father and former Yankees owner, George Steinbrenner, who died in 2010 at age 80. Along with no beards, the appearance policy also stated that players weren’t allowed to have hair that touches their collars.

“I have nothing against long hair per se, but I’m trying to instill a certain sense of order and discipline in the ball club because I think discipline is important in an athlete,” George, who purchased the team in 1973, explained during a 1978 interview with The New York Times.

Many current players have changed their appearances to abide by the team’s standards. Pitcher Gerrit Cole, for example, cut off his signature curly locks when signing to the Yankees in 2020.

“I haven’t shaved in like 10 years, but you know what? So be it,” Cole said in December 2019. “That’s the way it is. If you’re a Yankee, you shave. That’s what’s up.”

Outfielder Alex Verdugo shaved his beard after leaving the Boston Red Sox to play for the Yankees during the 2024 season. Johnny Damon, Nick Swisher and Jason Giambi, among others, also shaved prior to making their Yankees debuts.

Some former Yankees have spoken out after leaving the team, publicly criticizing the beard policy. Other MLB stars, like David Price and Brian Wilson, even refused to join the team because they didn’t want to shave off their beards.

Yankees alum Clint Frazier, who was traded to the Chicago Cubs in 2022, previously took a subtle shot at the no-beard rule via social media.

“First off, these uniforms are soooo sick! i’m so excited to join the @Cubs — one of the biggest reasons I chose to come here was the fan base and how electric you guys can be towards your players,” he shared via X in December 2021. “I’ll be just as electric for you guys too. Here’s to leaving my razor at home.”

The Suits torch has officially been passed from Gabriel Macht to Stephen Amell.

The actors posed alongside each other at the Suits LA premiere hosted at One Universal on Thursday, February 20. Macht, 53, and Amell, 43, looked dapper — seemingly in character as their onscreen lawyers — in dark suits as they posed for the cameras.

While Macht is not fully reprising his role as Harvey Specter from the original Suits iteration, the actor will be making a guest appearance on the new show, which stars Amell as hotshot lawyer Ted Black. Suits (costarring a then-unknown Meghan Markle) aired via the USA Network for nine seasons from 2011 to 2019. After the show came to an end, Macht said that he didn’t think bringing Harvey back was in his future — but that’s since changed.

“I finished up on Suits and felt like we spent enough time with Harvey: nine years, 134 episodes,” the actor explained to Entertainment Weekly in an interview published on Friday, February 21. “We really created such a well-rounded character, and the ensemble was terrific. Look, I am so appreciative and blessed to have been a part of this show, and it’s created a lot of opportunities for me.”

When he said goodbye to Harvey, Macht explained that he was “burying the character” for himself and definitely had no interest in a Suits movie.

“I’m not really interested in doing this. I’m not interested in continuing on,” he continued. “The story is done, and we had a really good ride and all of that.”

A call from creator Aaron Korsh changed things. Initially, Macht was apprehensive because of how it would impact his family life. (Macht shares two kids — Satine, 17, and Luca, 10 — with wife Jacinda Barrett.)

“I’ve been not wanting to go back and act,” he said. “I really have made a strong choice to spend more time with my kids and raise my kids, be here for them, because Suits took a lot out of that.”

Now, Macht is once again donning the expensive suits for Suits LA, thanks to Harvey and Ted’s longtime connection.

“I didn’t want to become this character that is known for this one thing,” he explained, before then realizing that he didn’t “want to become an actor auditioning for shows when I’m in my 50s and 60s to make a living.” This financial stability was, in part, why the original Suits went on for nine seasons.

Being “fully transparent,” Macht said that his return to Suits was a “business decision.” He was fully on board after Korsh promised the show would be shot around Macht’s schedule.

“It’s my way of going in there and really supporting this new venture — that’s why I said OK. And he did tell me there’s some really fun bits, and I think we can make it really light and playful, and I think you’ll enjoy it,” he added. “So that’s why I’m going back: At the end of the day, why are you doing this, Gabriel? I’m doing it for the fans.”

Meghan Markle might not be making her return to acting just yet, but there’s a “hope” for her to join Suits LA.

Wendell Pierce, who played Markle’s dad on Suits, told Us Weekly exclusively that it “would be a real coup to get her on board” for the spinoff series.

“Hopefully, I get to cameo on it one day or something like that — they bring Robert Zane back,” he said at the Zero Day premiere in New York City. “I’m really looking forward to seeing the new characters and whether Aaron Korsh, the creator, has [brought] it to the West Coast.”

Korsh himself weighed in on bringing back Markle, who played Rachel Zane on seven seasons of the original show, while celebrating the Suits LA premiere on Thursday, February 20.

“We have thought about whether it be Meghan or any of the other cast members coming on and playing themselves as an actor,” Korsh, 58, told People at the event in Los Angeles. “I think for me that’s a little … my brain blows up at the thought of that.”

Meghan Markle’s ‘Suits’ Father Wendell Pierce Weighs in On Prince Harry Marriage

According to Korsh, a twist of that nature “blows up the world too much.”

Suits aired on USA Network for nine seasons from 2011 to 2019. Suits LA — set to premiere on Sunday, February 23 — is set in the same universe, so the logical way to get some old stars involved is to bring back their characters.

“Obviously, if Meghan wants to come back under any circumstances, Meghan can come back,” Korsh continued, noting that she “always” has an open invitation. “I think realistically, it would be too much of an explosion of the fourth wall to do that.”

Years after it first aired, Suits had a major resurgence in 2023 when it was added to multiple streaming services.

“Isn’t that wild?” Markle said in a 2023 interview about the show’s newfound success, noting that she had “no idea” what led to the resurgence.

“It’s hard to find a show you can binge-watch that many episodes of these days, so that could have something to do with it. But good shows are everlasting,” she continued. “It was great to work on, such a great cast and crew. We had a really fun time.”

Suits’ comeback led to the Suits LA spinoff series, along with a rewatch podcast hosted by original stars Patrick J. Adams and Sarah Rafferty. While the duo have gotten some of their past Suits costars to appear on the podcast, Markle has yet to be featured as a guest.

“We are not really in touch. She leads a very different life now for obvious and important reasons,” Adams, 43, said during an October 2024 Q&A. “[But] upon hearing about the [Suits rewatch] podcast, I got a lovely text, saying how excited she was for us and asking how she could help in anyway [sic].”

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Jenn Fessler revealed that she and husband Jeff Fessler hit a rough patch seven years into their marriage.

“My marriage was definitely not my priority at that time, and it wasn’t for Jeff either,” Jenn, 54, shared during an episode of the “I Do Part 2” podcast, released on Thursday, February 20. “We were just not connecting. We were not connecting on an emotional level, and we were not connecting on a physical level.”

Jenn candidly shared that she “eventually” discovered that Jeff was having an affair.

“That was a hard day. Podcast is not long enough for me to get into all of the details of it all, but I will tell you that it was a very strange thing,” Jenn recalled. “This woman, that Jeff was involved with, and I had this conversation, and I don’t know, I knew almost immediately that something was up. But that’s not the point of this whole big picture story. But I, as you would expect, completely lost my mind.”

The Bravo star did admit that she wasn’t completely innocent, explaining that she was “out there” with friends on every Thursday night to drink and “flirt with guys.” Initially, Jenn said that she “didn’t have an affair” but started to “check out” other men.

“I started to crave that attention that I did for years from men,” Jenn explained. (Elsewhere in the episode, Jenn did say: “I’m honest about Jeff’s affair, and about, then I had my own affairs, plural.”)

Jenn explained that felt a certain type of way after Jeff was the one to step out of their marriage first.

“I guess I knew there was a part of me that knew that not only does it take two, but I almost felt lucky that it was him first, because I could place all the blame on him,” she added. “But I had been flirting with other guys and whatever. I know that I was headed in that direction.”

They stayed together for a year following the affair before officially separating. (Jenn noted that she went to see her sister in Florida and found a “little boyfriend” of her own.)

Jenn and Jeff were separated for nearly two years, with neither of them making moves to divorce, before getting back together. During their separation, Jenn had a new boyfriend but at one point, she started meeting up with Jeff to talk about their relationship. (Jenn and Jeff are the parents to son Zachary, 24, and daughter Rachel, 22.)

“He was so certain that we were making a mistake the whole time. And I think I was … I knew in my heart that it was a mistake,” she continued. “I just didn’t want to live my life without Jeff Fessler.”

Jenn said that her “life began again” when she and Jeff reconciled and are “best friends” to this day.

“We do the best we can and we fight and we have unhappy moments and unhappy periods of time,” she added. “I feel very, very lucky to have made my marriage work.”

OnlyFans Lily Phillips claims she’s pregnant with her first child — but some social media users don’t believe so.

Phillips, a 23-year-old British influencer, seemingly announced her pregnancy via Instagram on Wednesday, February 19. She posted two photos, one of which featured Phillips cradling a rather large baby bump. The second image showed two positive pregnancy tests.

The comments section was immediately flooded with social media users speculating that Phillips wasn’t really pregnant, calling her out for faking the baby news.

Phillips’ apparent news came after she spoke about the possibility of motherhood on a podcast last month, noting that she’s not worried about any backlash her future children might receive due to her job.

“I would want children, but definitely later down the line,” she said during a January appearance on “The Shizzio Show” podcast. “I know with that comes a lot of backlash. I understand that. … I think when I started doing [OnlyFans], I didn’t want kids at the time, and so, it wasn’t a problem to me ‘cause I thought through all this.”

Phillips added, “You don’t know what’s going to happen in the future, so I’m not going to put my unborn child before my own needs. I do get that my own kids will be scrutinized so much and … I’d like to think I’d do as much to protect my kids as possible.”

Is Lily Phillips Pregnant?

Phillips has yet to speak out regarding the pregnancy, or address the backlash, aside from her initial Instagram post.

What Has Been Said About Lily Phillips’ Possible Pregnancy?

Multiple U.K. outlets have reported that Phillips’ pregnancy is not real. The Mirror reported on Thursday, February 20, that the pregnancy was part of a “role play” by Phillips as part of “her job.” This news appeared to come from a source, but a separate outlet shared a similar quote, claiming it was a rep statement.

Us Weekly has reached out for comment.

Why Is Lily Phillips Famous?

Phillips made headlines late last year after she slept with 100 men in one day. She spoke about the experience in a YouTube documentary released in December 2024.

“It’s not for the weak. If I’m honest, it was hard. I don’t know if I’d recommend it,” she said at the time, getting emotional. “Just one in and one out, it feels intense.”

OnlyFans' Bonnie Blue Says She Had Sex With 1,057 Men in 12 Hours

Phillips has since stated that she wanted to be the first person to sleep with 1,000 people in a 24-hour period.

How Does OnlyFans’ Bonnie Blue Fit In?

Bonnie Blue is a fellow OnlyFans influencer who has also raised pregnancy speculation after she posted an Instagram Story about “cravings” on Tuesday, February 18. Some social media users have speculated that Phillips’ pregnancy announcement was related. (Blue has not confirmed her pregnancy publicly but has continued to hint at it in several posts.)

Blue’s history with Phillips goes way back. As Phillips announced her plans to sleep with 1,000 men in 24 hours, Blue revealed that she had already reached this feat — but in 12 hours.

Kim Zolciak filed for an emergency court hearing earlier this month amid her ongoing divorce from Kroy Biermann, filing several motions against her estranged husband.

Zolciak, 46, is “gravely concerned about the children’s best interests when left in the care” of Biermann, 39, one motion claims, according to court documents obtained by Us Weekly. (TMZ was first to report the news on Wednesday, February 19.)

Furthermore, Zolciak has “significant concerns” regarding Biermann’s mental health when it comes to the well-being of their four minor children — sons KJ, 13, and Kash, 12, and twins Kaia and Kane, both 11. (Biermann is also the adoptive father of Zolciak’s daughters Brielle, 27, and Ariana, 23, from past relationships.)

The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum also alleged that Biermann “has taken steps to completely cut the children off” from Zolciak and reportedly has an “inability to refrain from disparaging” her in front of their kids. “His explosive temper raises concerns that [Biermann] is suffering from an undiagnosed mental health disorder which may require follow-up or treatment,” the docs read. Zolciak also alleged that Biermann has “taken possession” of the four minor children’s cell phones.

A subsequent motion claimed that Biermann “unilaterally directed [Zolciak] that she would no longer have parenting time with any of the children” and allegedly “prohibited” their four kids from communicating with her. Biermann allegedly “barricades the minor children at his new residence during the day, only returning for the minor children to sleep and take the bus to school.”

Zolciak also resurfaced claims that she made previously, alleging that Biermann is suffering from Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), which is “a progressive degenerative disease affecting people who have suffered repeated concussions and traumatic brain injuries,” per the Indiana University School of Medicine.

Zolciak has claimed that addressing Biermann’s mental health is “essential in determining the proper custody and parenting time schedule that serve the children’s best interests,” in the docs. She also “respectfully requests that the Court appoint qualified professionals to conduct psychological and medical evaluations” of Biermann.

Kim Zolciak Says Life With Ex Kroy Biermann Was 'Torture' 

A separate motion claimed that the “instant emergency situation dictates the need for the involvement of a guardian ad litem” for their four minor children as custody is determined.

Zolciak and Biermann were married for 11 years before they filed for divorce in May 2023. The same court documents obtained by Us this week show that Zolciak has also filed a motion to seal the case as their divorce proceedings continue.

Sebastian Roché hasn’t ruled out a General Hospital return just yet.

“Never say never,” Roché, 60, told Us Weekly exclusively while promoting the upcoming season of 1923. “No one ever dies [in the show]. I don’t know how many times I’ve died.”

Roché played the role of Jerry Jacks — who has become known as one of the most iconic Big Bads introduced throughout the soap opera’s history — on a recurring basis starting in February 2007. Roché’s debut as Jerry came when he and a group of masked men invaded the show’s Metro Court hotel.

“Starting there with that Metro Court Hostage Crisis, which became such a huge thing. I had no idea it would be so big,” he continued, “In a way, such a blessing.”

‘General Hospital’ Star Kelly Monaco’s Soap Opera Ups and Downs

While Roché’s last physical appearance on the show came in 2015, his character has continued to play a part. The last mention? It was revealed in a 2019 episode of GH that the character had escaped prison. So, a return to Port Charles seems imminent.

“In the near present, nothing’s been planned,” he told Us. “You never know in these circumstances, on that kind of a show. It would be fun.”

Roché added, “You never know.”

As for what Jerry is up to now? Roché, of course, has some thoughts.

“He’s probably in the Caribbean in some beautiful villa. A bit like [James] Bond,” he speculated. “Or somewhere in the South Pacific. But you know, he’s a traveler. Traveling incognito, maybe in disguise. I like to think of him sailing, maybe in some beautiful destination.”

The Supernatural alum also gushed over the “liberty” that the creatives at GH allowed him to have with his role.

“I arrived there and everyone welcomed me with such open arms. I remember the kindness of every single cast member. I came in and I thought to myself, ‘I’m going to have a lot of fun, and I’m gonna experiment with certain things.’ They were so open to that,” Roché recalled. “They would let me be incredibly free. I found that very, very invigorating as an actor. I really found the joy again doing that because they respected my work, and they let me just go.”

Roché explained to Us that the storyline paired with his schedule (Roché is booked and busy) would play a huge part in him stepping back on to the soap opera’s set.

“I’m sort of segueing into writing and directing and producing,” he admitted. “That’s gonna take a lot of my time, because development is hell. But it’s part of the work.”

The Friday Night Lights reunion between Connie Britton and Jesse Plemons for Zero Day was nothing short of a dream.

“It was so wonderful,” Britton, 57, told Us Weekly exclusively at the limited series’ premiere in New York City on Tuesday, February 18. “When you get onto a set like this — a big show like this where it can feel pretty daunting — to have people there that you’ve worked with before, that you know and love and trust, it’s the best thing in the world.”

Britton starred as Tami Taylor on Friday Night Lights from 2006 to 2011 alongside Plemons, 36, who played Landry Clarke.

While speaking with Us at The Plaza Hotel, Britton said she and Plemons “went right back” to how they were on the FNL set.

“It’s like we have our own language in a way,” she added. “It was just a real treat.”

Connie Britton Compares Her New Role to Friday Night Lights’ Tami Taylor

Despite his widespread success in Hollywood, Britton noted that Plemons hasn’t changed from when they acted together all those years ago.

“He still seems exactly the same to me,” she gushed. “He seems like Landry Clarke to me, except for while we’re shooting, he wins Best Actor at Cannes.” (Plemons took home the award at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival for his role in Yorgos Lanthimos‘ film Kinds of Kindness.)

Zero Day is set to air via Netflix on Friday, February 20, starring Robert De Niro and Lizzy Caplan as George and Alexandra Mullen, respectively. Plemons will star as Roger Carlson, while Britton is set to appear as Valerie Whitesell. (Joan Allen, Bill Camp, Dan Stevens, Angela Bassett, Matthew Modine and McKinley Belcher III also star.)

Us also spoke to Modine, 65, on the carpet and he was quick to gush over one of his Zero Day costars as well.

The Stranger Things star explained that he “moved to New York City” as a teenager because of De Niro, 81, among other famed actors — and how they’re working together.

“I wanted to come to New York City because that’s where they had grown up and gone to school,” the actor said. “So, this is what I did.”

Allen, 68, felt similarly about De Niro.

“It was just the best,” she told Us on Tuesday’s red carpet. “It was a dream to be able to do it. … He’s just so talented and so present, and so open and very kind and a great acting partner. You can’t ask for anything more than that.”

Kathy Griffin thinks the public is barking up the wrong tree when it comes to startling rumors about Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin.

“There was an episode of [Real Housewives of] Beverly Hills where Lisa took a glass and was so pissed at Kim Richards she freaking broke it and was going to twist it in her neck, which is my kind of bitch,” Griffin, 64, recalled during the February 11 episode of the “Trash Tuesday” podcast. “There was a rumor about Harry. I’ve never heard a single rumor about Harry in my life, and he’s been around forever.”

Griffin was referring to the infamous season 5 episode of RHOBH, featuring the cast’s trip to Amsterdam when Rinna nearly strangled Richards for making a comment about Hamlin. During the podcast episode, Griffin recalled asking Rinna about that moment.

“I go, ‘So what was the rumor that pissed you off so much?’ And she’s like, ‘First of all, I blacked out in that moment — I was about to kill someone,’” Griffin recalled, noting that she also asked Hamlin the same question. (Rinna and Hamlin recently discussed the same RHOBH scene on an episode of the “Let’s Not Talk About the Husband” podcast.)

“There’s this pause and, he’s such a quiet spoken intellectual guy, and he goes, ‘They said I f—ed a dog,” the comedian continued. “I lost it laughing.”

Lisa Rinna Jokes About Harry Hamlin 'Crawling Back' to Her After 1st Date

Griffin added, “I just thought that was the funniest thing. Of all the rumors, how did even one person be like, ‘Hmm, that is possible.’ I thought the rumor was just that he was having an affair with somebody — maybe an affair with, like, someone on the show.”

Griffin told Hamlin: “Let it ride and just go with it because that s— is funny.”

Rinna and Hamlin, for their part, reacted to Griffin’s story in a statement to Us Weekly on Wednesday, February 19.

“Thank you to Kathy for clearing this up,” the couple’s reps shared. “It’s been really RUFF on the family.”

Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin Share Their Thoughts on Waxing Pubic Hair

Griffin shared a similar sentiment during the same podcast.

“Harry Hamlin is not a dog f—er, stop it,” she added. “Stop it.”

Griffin further explained that she has known Rinna “for decades,” and has really gotten to know the pair over the years.

“She is a sweetheart. She’s a ride or die. She’s super cool,” the comedian gushed. “Harry is a dream. He went to Yale. He’s so smart, he can talk about anything.”

Artem Chigvintsev is reflecting on how his domestic violence arrest “completely ruined everything” in his life — including his relationship with ex-wife Nikki Garcia.

“From every angle, it ruined my life completely,” Chigvintsev, 42, said of the past incident during a “Glamorous Grind” podcast appearance on Tuesday, February 18. “The worst part about all of this, because [the] DA dropped the case, clearly stating that there was nothing that they could possibly have charged me on.”

News broke in August 2024 that Chigvintsev was arrested following an alleged incident with Garcia, 41. Us Weekly confirmed the following month that the charges against the professional dancer were dropped by the Napa County District Attorney following “a thorough” investigation. During Tuesday’s podcast episode, Chigvintsev said that it didn’t matter — because once his mugshot was released, the public dubbed him guilty.

“There is nothing you can say or try to justify yourself and change their minds. When [a] person [has] a mugshot, you’re guilty immediately. There is not even a question of, like, what happened,” he said. “It’s weird because in this country I thought … you’re innocent until proven guilty. That was not the case whatsoever.”

One week after Chigvintsev’s arrest, he and Garcia filed for divorce. While she sought full custody of their 4-year-old son, Matteo, he requested joint custody. Both Chigvintsev and Garcia filed restraining orders against each other, which were eventually dropped when they reached a divorce settlement in November 2024.

Artem Chigvintsev Returns to Instagram With Son After Nikki Garcia Divorce

Chigvintsev explained during Tuesday’s podcast appearance how the settlement came to be.

“I wanted it to be over. I felt, for me personally, I needed to go back to live my life and just I needed to move on emotionally, financially,” the Dancing With the Stars pro said. “I just want my life to be normal again.”

He continued to say he’s found “closure” in his life following the divorce — even though it wasn’t his idea.

“People keep forgetting something. I didn’t stop loving [the] person that day and I just moved on. It wasn’t my decision to get divorced. I was, until the last moment, [suggesting] maybe we should do therapy. Maybe we need to try to figure something out,” Chigvintsev claimed. “My ideal scenario is, like, keeping the family together, united. It was a huge closure of seven years. I will never forget this moment when Matteo loved [the] three of us being together.”

Nikki Garcia Claims Artem Grew 'Increasingly Angry' After 'DWTS' Cut

Chigvintsev said it made the 4-year-old “so happy” when he and Garcia were together.

“Having [the] thought of, this is never gonna be that ever again. You need to move on,” he added. “I think that closure was huge, because I remember flying from the airport and I was like, ‘Wow, this is just like’ … It was sad, but it also was, I guess, relief because it was done.”

He recalled the entire legal process being “draining,” explaining that there were “three-and-a-half weeks” where he couldn’t see Matteo. Chigvintsev called that “hands down” one of the worst experiences of his life.

“When you don’t see your son because it’s your choice, it’s one thing,” Chigvintsev said. “When you don’t see your son because it’s someone else’s choice, and you actually legally cannot do it. That’s where it gets, like, I’m helpless over here.”

Bozoma Saint John shared intimate details about her fertility journey on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

“The experiences of pregnancy have not been easy for me,” Boze shared during the Tuesday, February 18 episode of RHOBH. “I got pregnant unexpectedly with my first daughter, named Eve. Five months into my pregnancy, I discovered that I had early stages of preeclampsia, a disease that creates high blood pressure and starts to attack your pregnancy.”

About six-and-a-half months into the pregnancy, Boz said she was hospitalized for high blood pressure, where she was immediately admitted into labor and delivery.

“My baby didn’t survive,” she recalled. “Two months after I lost Eve, I decided that I was meant to be a mother and wanted to have another baby.

Boze and her late husband, Peter Saint John, welcomed daughter, Lael Saint John, in 2009. (Peter died in 2013, months after being diagnosed with cancer.)

The Bravo star’s fertility has been discussed several times during this season of RHOBH — she and boyfriend Keely Watson have discussed the possibility of having a child of their own.

“Because I’m a mature woman, you would assume I have to get checked out to see if I’m still viable to be able to carry a baby and Keeley’s ready,” she said during Tuesday’s episode. “We haven’t met with the fertility doctor yet.”

Boze explained that the entire thing is “scary” because of her previous experience with pregnancy loss.

“This pregnancy journey was in theory and now it’s reality. If I’m gonna get some needles poked into me, that makes it very very real,” she admitted. “I was really excited but now I’m nervous. I feel scared. What if we don’t get the results we want?”

After losing her first pregnancy, Boze said that her pregnancy with Lael was “horrific,” adding that she felt “terror” during every doctor appointment.

“I would have to squeeze Peter’s hand because, what if?” Boze recalled. “I am 15 years older than the last [time] I had this issue. I need some assurances, and I don’t know how to get that.”

She further discussed her feelings regarding the possibility of a future pregnancy during a confessional.

“While it’s exciting and hopeful to think about having a baby with Keely, I can’t help but go right back to those days where I was scared to death every single day of my pregnancy,” she said.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars just wanted to celebrate the 4th of July — but it turned into an all-out brawl.

“I’ve always made a big deal out of holidays for the kids; 4th of July is no exception,” Dorit Kemsley said during the Tuesday, February 18, episode of RHOBH ahead of her big bash. “Especially with what’s going on with PK, we’ve not had a lot of joy and laughter in the house. That’s what it feels like the kids and I all need.”

Dorit and the women were dressed to the nines, as per usual, in their red, white and blue attire. However, the festive mood didn’t stop them all from getting into fights at the party.

Keep scrolling for a breakdown of who argued with who during the RHOBH 4th of July party:

Dorit References Rumors About Sutton

The tension between Dorit and Sutton Stracke was obvious at the party, but things quickly escalated. When Garcelle Beauvais asked Sutton what she was drinking, Dorit alluded to past rumors that Sutton had a drinking problem.

“Oh, Dorit, shut up. You’re such a bitch,” Sutton said. “Don’t start with that, it’s not nice.”

‘RHOBH’ Recap: The C-Word Flies From Multiple ‘RHOBH’ Stars at Kyle's Party

Dorit asked Sutton not to call her a bitch, and Sutton repeated to “not start with the vodka stuff.”

“Dorit has never apologized for perpetuating a rumor or a myth that I have some sort of drinking problem,” Sutton continued in her confessional. “Which is really really, one, hurtful, two, not true. Now she’s just being a bitch, to be a bitch.”

Dorit, meanwhile, made a pretty strong allusion in her own confessional.

“She called me a bitch in my own home, I should be kicking her out. But, instead, she’s the victim,” Dorit said. “Why are you making such a huge deal over a joke? Unless, of course, there’s something very big under the surface.”

Sutton quickly decided to leave the party. “I’m not comfortable here,” Sutton told the other women at one point.

Garcelle Calls out Bozoma for Defending Dorit

“To congregate here, at the front. Like, Dorit is hosting a party,” Bozoma Saint John told the RHOBH women after they went to comfort Sutton.

“Stop being Dorit’s spokesperson,” Garcelle stated. This topic, of course, came up again. Boze was discussing the “spirit of sisterhood” — or lack thereof — within the group when Garcelle chimed in.

“Where’s [the] spirit of sisterhood when you came over there and called us rude?” Garcelle asked. “I feel like every time you’re telling us what to do about Dorit, and when you don’t know the whole situation either.”

Garcelle called Boze “one-sided” among the women.

Bozoma Confronts Kyle

The conversation between Garcelle and Boze then turned into a conversation with Kyle Richards. (Boze previously claimed that Kyle had not been “welcoming” within the group.)

“It’s so funny that you say that because I actually felt the complete opposite,” Kyle said. “The times that we have spent together, I actually did feel like we had a great connection. I was really surprised to hear that and it hurt my feelings.”

‘RHOBH’ Stars Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley’s Friendship Ups and Downs

Boze explained that she didn’t have “deep conversations” with Kyle.

“That feeling for me is like, ‘Oh, Kyle is a little distant. She’s a little cold,’” Boze continued, noting in her confessional that the “vibes aren’t vibing” between them.

“I feel that I was being singled out because of what was going on between Dorit and me. Because you got to know her first, you have a loyalty automatically to her which is very clear,” Kyle told Boze. In her confessional, Kyle said Boze “has 100 percent been biased” against her.

Dorit and Kyle Are at It Again

Dorit and Kyle had seemingly squashed their beef from earlier in the season, but the women went at each other again. This time, Kyle seemed to be bothered by Dorit chiming in on her conversation with Boze.

“I don’t even know what’s going on with you right now,” Dorit said. Kyle responded, “What are you talking about?”

Kyle accused Dorit of backing up “every little thing” Boze says.

“It’s actually so annoying. She can literally say anything, and you are so all over her ass, it’s gross now. Stop,” Kyle continued. “I’m having a conversation with her and everything she says you back up.”

In her confessional, Kyle said that Dorit should “leave it be” instead of getting involved.

Back at the party, Dorit wanted to know if she and Kyle were “going back” to fighting or if they were OK. They both decided, despite the drama, to continue starting “fresh and clean” with their friendship.

Serena Williams is unbothered by the chatter about her surprise Super Bowl LIX halftime show appearance.

“Gosh I’m so late to the game (I’ve been sick) & busy investing in billion dollar companies and running @WYNbeauty … def not dancing to be petty lol,” Williams, 43, wrote via X on Monday, February 17. “I think I proved 23 times over (not counting 4 gold medals) that I simply don’t have time for petty. All love and respect always nothing negative here.”

William’s social media post came in reply to a post shared by her husband, Alexis Ohanian, earlier this month.

“Some of y’all have no idea how criticized Serena was for this same dance at Wimbledon 13 years ago and it shows,” he wrote on February 10. “This is bigger than the music.”

Alexis Ohanian Defends Wife Serena Williams’ Super Bowl Halftime Cameo

On Monday, Williams praised her “baby daddy and husband” for his defense of her Crip Walk.

“Always got my back,” she shared on social media. “I Love you.”

Williams’ X post appeared to be in reference to fans claiming that her halftime show appearance on February 9 was a dig at rumored ex-boyfriend Drake. (Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” was released amid his public feud with Drake and includes a line referencing Williams.)

That there my baby daddy and husband. Always got my back. I Love you Gosh I’m so late to the game (I’ve been sick) & busy investing in billion dollar companies and running @WYNbeauty… def not dancing to be petty lol. I think I proved 23 times over (not counting 4 gold…

— Serena Williams (@serenawilliams) February 17, 2025

Williams reacted to her halftime show dance in a separate social media post after the performance came to an end.

“Man, I did not Crip Walk like that at Wimbledon. Ooh, I would have been fined!” she said. “It was all love.” She captioned the video, “Super Bowl halftime show babyyyyyyyyy.”

Williams made headlines — and drew widespread criticism — in 2012 when she celebrated with a toned-down Crip Walk after winning the “Golden Slam” title. The response to her dance moves back then are reminiscent of the criticisms Williams has been receiving as of late.

Serena Williams ‘Died a Little’ While Performing at 2025 Super Bowl

ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith, for example, had a lot of thoughts about Williams’ surprise appearance.

“If I’m married and my wife is going to join trolling her ex, go back to his ass,” the 57-year-old anchor said on February 10. “Cause clearly you don’t belong with me. What you worried about him for and you’re with me? Bye. Bye.”

Smith doubled down on the comment, telling fans it’s “not that serious” in a social media post the following day.

“Please go back and look at exactly what I said,” he wrote via X on February 11. “I was talking overall from a man’s perspective — highlighting what most men would think. I didn’t utter a single disrespectful word about Serena. No issues with folks getting upset of literal serious stuff one’s pissed about. This doesn’t qualify peeps.”

The Twilight craze has come and gone, but Jason Kelce is firmly Team Edward — and Taylor Lautner’s wife, Tay Lautner (née Dome), agrees.

“I married Jacob, and I’m still Team Edward so I get it,” Tay, 26, commented on an Instagram video posted to Kylie Kelce’s “Not Gonna Lie” podcast profile. The clip, taken from the Friday, February 14, episode, showed Kylie, 32, and Jason, 37, discussing the Twilight franchise.

“Weren’t you Team Jacob?” Kylie asked in the video. Her husband was quick to share an extended response about his thoughts on the film franchise.

“I just was Team That Guy Needs to F—ing Get a Life,” Jason, 37, replied. “She was so not into him, and he was just lurking around. I just felt bad for Jacob. I had never seen the movies so when I actually sat down to watch them, I thought it was going to be this back and forth that she had.”

The former NFL star continued, “She was never into Jacob. She was into the other guy the whole time. I just remember there being [the] Team Jacob/Team Edward thing happening.”

Taylor Lautner Suggests Bella Should’ve Married Jacob in ‘Twilight’

Kylie, 32, attempted to clarify that Jason thought there was more of an “even split” when it came to Bella’s feelings for both Edward and Jacob.

“She was decided from the very beginning,” Kylie said. Jason added, “Yeah, there wasn’t a question.”

Jason noted that Jacob was “head over heels” for Bella, which is why he “imprinted” (formed a soulmate-like connection) on her and Edward’s daughter.

“It was just a sad story of Jacob,” Jason added. Kylie said, “The whole thing is creepy.”

Taylor, 33, starred as Jacob in all five Twilight movies, released from 2008 to 2012, alongside Robert Pattinson as Edward and Kristen Stewart as Bella.

Taylor Lautner Recalls 'Twilight' Fan Rivalry With Robert Pattinson

He recently rewatched the series with wife Tay.

“After we finished the Harry Potter franchise, we were trying to find another franchise to watch. So, we landed on the Twilight series,” Tay said during her and Taylor’s “The Squeeze” podcast last month.

Taylor said it was a “good” experience to go back and watch the movies all these years later.

“I feel like a lot of the things I watch that I’ve done is just tough. Because you just tend to just critique yourself and just be hard on yourself and be like, ‘I wish I would have done that better, or wouldn’t have done that,’” he said. “I know that when I’ve watched them before I have done that, and it’s been tough for me to watch them and enjoy them. This time, I would say, was just a totally different experience.”

Bethenny Frankel is fully on board with the joke Ryan Reynolds made during SNL 50: The Anniversary Special, which referred to Blake Lively’s ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni.

“Absolutely brilliant of SNL to invite and include Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively to lean into the humor. They are the epicenter of pop culture. It is the zeitgeist. Bullseye,” Frankel, 54, said in a TikTok video posted Sunday, February 16. “For Ryan and Blake to participate is nothing short of genius because the only way to weather a storm is to go straight through it.”

She continued, “As I keep saying, no one knows what actually happened. So, all of the speculation is tricky and risky business, but that was very smart. Bravo.”

Commenters were quick to share that they didn’t agree with Frankel’s take.

Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds Put on United Front at 'SNL 50' Amid Legal Drama

“I am tripling down and saying that SNL was nothing short of brilliant for having them on last night,” Frankel said in a separate TikTok posted on Monday, February 17. “It’s marketing genius. They are the epicenter. They are the zeitgeist that is popular culture. They often have disruptive people on, they talk about disruptive topics, they will have both political candidates on. They will have people mocking both political candidates. From their standpoint, it was nothing short of brilliant.”

The former Real Housewives of New York City star also said it was “smart” of Reynolds, 48, and Lively, 37, to attend Sunday’s event.

“From a marketing standpoint, it was a great idea on everyone’s part,” Frankel continued. “Not everyone lives in the bowels of TikTok, reading every single legal document and knows every single thing that you guys all know.”

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler took the stage during SNL 50 on Sunday and called on celebrities in the audience for a Q&A session. When Reynolds raised his hand, Fey and Poehler asked how he was doing.

“[I’m doing] great. Why, what have you heard?” he replied. Lively kept her face void of emotion while sitting next to her husband during the moment.

Lively has been embroiled in a legal battle with It Ends With Us director and costar Baldoni since December 2024. At the time, she filed a complaint against the actor’s Wayfarer Studios production company, accusing him of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment. (Lively has since filed a lawsuit against Baldoni that includes similar accusations. Baldoni continues to deny all allegations against him.)

Baldoni responded with two lawsuits of his own. He first sued The New York Times for $250 million after they were the first to publish Lively’s complaint in full. (The newspaper plans to “defend against the lawsuit,” they shared in a statement to Us.)

He also sued Lively, Reynolds and publicist Leslie Sloane for $400 million, accusing them of extortion, defamation and false light invasion of privacy, among other claims.

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

Lively’s legal team called Baldoni’s strategy “desperate” in a statement to Us last month. The legal battle is set to go to trial next year.

Most recently, Lively subpoenaed Baldoni’s phone records, which her legal team said “will provide critical and irrefutable evidence,” in a statement to Us earlier this month.

Baldoni’s lawyer Bryan Freedman called it an “an ordinary part of the litigation” in his own statement but said the amount of information Lively’s team has requested is “extraordinary.”

“They are asking for every single call, text, data log, and even real-time location information for the past 2.5 years, regardless of the sender, recipient, or subject matter,” Freedman’s statement continued. “This massive fishing expedition demonstrates that they are desperately seeking any factual basis for their provably false claims. They will find none.”

Simone Biles and husband Jonathan Owens are finally going on their honeymoon — two years after tying the knot.

The 27-year-old Olympian kissed Owens, 29, while on an airplane in a photo shared via Instagram Stories on Sunday, February 16. Biles updated fans once they touched down in South Africa, and showed off the luxurious suite they’d be staying in.

As the weekend continued, Biles continued to share moments from the romantic — and adventurous — vacation. On Monday, February 17, their excursions continued. Biles posted a selfie alongside Owens, and they were both decked out in safari gear.

“Ready for our first game drive,” she captioned the Instagram Story post. Biles and Owens were all smiles later in the day as they posed alongside an elephant. They also saw a warthog on their travels, which Biles jokingly called Pumba, referring to the animated Lion King character.

As well as sharing snaps of a sleeping cheetah and several zebras, at one point, Biles came face-to-face with a lion. “Not gonna lie I almost s—” myself,” Biles quipped in the photo’s caption.

Biles also referred to herself as a “happy camper” in a separate picture posted in the early hours of Tuesday, February 18. Along with their safari, the duo also opted for more relaxing excursions, like a couples massage.

Biles and Owens exchanged vows in April 2023, three years after they met on the Raya dating app. Their initial wedding was on the low-key side as the couple headed to the Harris County Courthouse in Houston for their “I dos.” They later hosted a second wedding celebration in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Two months after their wedding, Biles first revealed in an Instagram Q&A that she and Owens had yet to go on a honeymoon.

“We haven’t taken a honeymoon yet,” she explained in August 2023.

Both Biles and Owens spent the last two years focusing on their respective careers, which appears to be why their honeymoon was postponed. (Biles competed in the 2024 Summer Olympics, taking home four medals. Owens, an NFL player, signed with the Chicago Bears last year.)

Both Biles and Owens have publicly supported each other’s athletic endeavors. While Biles has attended various Bears games, Owens missed out on an NFL practice to watch his wife in the Paris Olympics last year.

“He praises the ground that I walk on. Truly, I’ve never met a man like him. He still opens my doors,” Biles gushed of her man during an April 2024 “Call Her Daddy” podcast interview. “I’m not saying that to be like, ‘He still opens my doors because that’s to be expected of men,’ but he truly goes out of his way to do anything for me.”

The discourse between Sutton Stracke and Dorit Kemsley isn’t slowing down any time soon.

“Dorit brought up the vodka thing,” Sutton said in Us Weekly’s exclusive clip from this week’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. “I did not appreciate it. I don’t want to perpetuate that myth and I don’t want to be around someone that’s going to do that to me.”

The latest episode, set to air on Tuesday, February 18, is titled “Land of the Free, Home of the Shade” and features all the women at Dorit’s home to celebrate the 4th of July. However, it seems Sutton didn’t stay for long. (Sutton’s alcohol consumption has been a point of contention in past seasons of the show.)

Sutton was initially speaking to Erika Jayne, Kyle Richards and Garcelle Beauvais when Kathy Hilton entered the home. Then, Bozeman Saint John joined the conversation.

“Why is everybody over there?” Bozoma asked. Dorit replied, “Because that’s what Sutton does.”

Bozoma continued, “Do we need to go over there? I feel like I don’t want to be left out.”

When Bozoma asked the group of women to come into the house, Sutton declared that she was leaving. (Tensions between Sutton and Dorit have continued to rise throughout this current season.)

“I’m not comfortable here,” Sutton said. Erika had gotten up to get a drink with Dorit while Bozoma kept speaking with the other women.

“To congregate here, at the front. Like, Dorit is hosting a party,” she said. Garcelle responded, “Stop being Dorit’s spokesperson.”

Bozoma said she wasn’t speaking for Dorit. But Garcelle doubled down.

“It sounds like it,” she stated. Bozoma claimed that “it looks rude” how they’re all standing at the front of Dorit’s house.

“Alright, I mean, y’all want to coddle her? Coddle her,” Bozoma said, before further explaining her point of view in a confessional.

“I’m pissed that these ladies don’t have any couth to at least get up and come into the party and behave like civilized people,” she said, before the cameras cut back to the party and showed Bozoma walk away.

Kyle chimed in during her own confessional, stating that it’s “annoying” when Bozoma is Team Dorit “without knowing any backstory” about the situation.

“She just comes in and automatically defends Dorit without knowing anything,” Kyle added. “You don’t get to scold us.”

Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick have no bad blood ahead of the A Simple Favor 2 release.

“There aren’t any issues between Blake and Anna right now,” a source tells Us Weekly exclusively, noting that both actresses “really love” the forthcoming sequel.

Earlier this month, Prime Video announced via Instagram that the highly anticipated movie is set to premiere in March at SXSW with the film hitting the streamer later on May 1. The social media announcement, which revealed the film’s poster, garnered widespread backlash from commenters.

“It disappoints [Lively and Kendrick] to see all the hate online after the movie poster release,” the same insider says before sharing that they plan to “be doing press together.” Both actresses — who starred in 2018’s A Simple Favor — “want fans to focus on the film and not any outside drama,” the source adds.

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's Conflict 'Is Not a Celebrity Feud': Source

Lively, 37, is currently facing off against It Ends With Us director and costar Justin Baldoni in a highly publicized legal battle. This ongoing drama was the focus of commenter responses when A Simple Favor 2 was announced. Director Paul Feig even came to Lively’s defense against one social media user. (Feig also denied rumors that Amazon Studios had shelved the project.)

“Is it Paul Feig’s cut or Blake’s cut?” the commenter questioned on February 4, referring to the apparent controversy that Lively made her own cut of It Ends With Us, separate from Baldoni’s.

“It’s my cut. There is no other cut,” he responded. “Blake has been nothing but supportive and a dream to work with. She is the best and an amazing collaborator and I’m her biggest fan. Just wanted to clear that up.”

Lively’s legal battle against Baldoni, 41, started in December 2024 after she filed a complaint against the actor and his Wayfarer Studios production company accusing him of sexual harassment, developing a smear campaign and creating a hostile work environment. She has since filed a lawsuit against Baldoni with similar accusations. (Lively and Baldoni’s teams are set to face off in court starting March 2026.)

Baldoni has vehemently denied Lively’s claims, filing multiple lawsuits of his own. He first sued The New York Times for $250 million in December 2024 after they were the first to publish Lively’s complaint. (The newspaper will “defend against the lawsuit,” they shared in a statement to Us.)

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's Reported 'It Ends With Us' Drama Explained

He has also accused Lively, her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and publicist Leslie Sloane of extortion, defamation and false light invasion of privacy, among other claims, suing them for $400 million.

Lively’s legal team called his lawsuit “desperate” in a statement to Us last month and has since sent subpoenas to AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile, requesting records for Baldoni, It Ends With Us producer Jamey Heath and Wayfarer Studios cofounder Steve Sarowitz.

“Phone records belonging to all of the individual defendants will expose the full web of individuals who were involved in the smear campaign against Ms. Lively,” reps for Lively told Us. “Such records will provide critical and irrefutable evidence not only about who, but also about when, where, and how their retaliation plan came together and operated.”

Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, called the subpoenas “an ordinary part of the litigation,” in his own statement.

“What is extraordinary is what the Lively Parties are seeking. They are asking for every single call, text, data log, and even real-time location information for the past 2.5 years, regardless of the sender, recipient, or subject matter,” he continued. “This massive fishing expedition demonstrates that they are desperately seeking any factual basis for their provably false claims. They will find none.”

Duck Dynasty alum Sadie Robertson is gearing up to welcome baby No. 3 with husband Christian Huff.

“Our hearts are so full,” Robertson, 27, captioned an Instagram post on Friday, February 14. “Another little love joining the Huff family.”

The former reality star posted a black-and-white image of her sitting on the ground alongside Huff, 26, and their two daughters: Honey, 3, and Haven, 20 months. Huff is holding up a photo of Robertson’s sonogram while kissing one of his daughters. The other baby sits on a smiling Robertson’s lap.

She shared a separate photo via her Instagram Stories to celebrate the pregnancy announcement.

Robertson and Huff got engaged in June 2019 and got married nine months later. Nearly one year later, in October 2020, the couple announced that they were expecting their first baby. Honey was born in May 2021, and Robertson was honest with fans about her “chaotic” birth story.

“All of a sudden I was pushed down on the bed, they pushed my mom, [Korie Robertson], out of the way and every nurse in the room was just over me, and they were pulling my legs and pushing my stomach as hard as they could,” she shared on the “Whoa! That’s Good” podcast in July 2021. “I thought they cut me open because of how painful it was when they pressed on my stomach. Now I know they were pressing my pelvis bone to get her out because what happened was Honey got stuck. Her shoulder got stuck.”

Duck Dynasty's Sadie Robertson and Christian Huff's Relationship Timeline

Her first birth experience didn’t stop Robertson and Huff from expanding their family. The duo announced that they were expecting baby No. 2 in November 2022. Haven was born May 2023.

Robertson detailed her motherhood journey during a March 2023 episode of “The Squeeze” podcast.

“I remember it shaped a lot of body image things for me because your body takes on a whole new meaning,” she said of pregnancy at the time. “All of a sudden, every part of your body is used for the purpose of another life, so it just takes the focus off of you and puts it onto something so much greater and that shifts so much of who you are.”

Robertson added, “It grows your capacity and your strength and your confidence. It made me a lot less shallow. No longer is my stomach trying to look the flattest or the most fit. Now, it’s like, ‘Oh wow, as it grows I’m creating life inside of me.’”
