It's only been three months since Jenelle Evans and David Eason got married on their property in North Carolina. But it looks as though the troubled couple may already be headed for Splitsvile. David's recent online activity has led fans to the conclusion that he and Jenelle are on the verge of calling it quits. And that's not the only indication that this marriage is on the rocks… 1. Trouble From the Start? Jenelle and David got married in September. A fight the night before the wedding nearly led Jenelle to call the whole thing off. 2. One Long Rough Patch? In the months since they said “I do,” it hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing for Jenelle and David. The newlyweds have engaged in some bizarre behavior, including an incident at the Teen Mom 2 reunion show, at which David drunkenly brandished a knife. 3. A Sign of Trouble This week, fans noticed an indication that Jenelle and David might be on the verge of calling it quits. David changed his relationship status on Facebook to “it’s complicated” before deleting his account entirely. 4. The Response From Jenelle Jenelle responded to the uproar with a status update of her own. “I’d appreciate it if you’d stop assuming sh-t,” she wrote to fans. 5. Nothing to See Here “Everyone is freaking out David deleted his Facebook account while I was sleeping,” Jenelle continued. “He deleted his account altogether. He told me when I woke up lol.” 6. Jenelle Doth Protest Too Much Jenelle continued her tirade in a truly bizarre interview with Radar Online, in which she yet again struggled to convince fans that all is well in her marriage.

It's been over two years since Teen Mom 2 star Leah Messer and her second husband, Jeremy Calvert, got divorced. The split was an ugly one, and the two have clashed more than a few times since calling it quits – on and off camera. Yet even as they've dated other people (Jeremy was even engaged to Brooke Wehr), rumors of reconciliation persisted. Leah and Jeremy may have divorced, and obviously had a great many issues, but never fully moved on from one another. And now, there's even more reason to believe the parents of 4-year-old Adalynn are still harboring romantic feelings for one another. Check out some of the social media interactions and other clues that have Teen Mom 2 fans thinking there's a reunion on the horizon! 1. A Messy Split Leah and Jeremy went their separate ways in 2015. It was Leah’s second divorce, and it certainly wasn’t a civil one. 2. Parenting Problems The two welcomed daughter Adalynn in 2013, and disagreements about parenting have fueled many of their conflicts. 3. A Dark Time Around the time of their split, Leah allegedly developed an addiction to prescription painkillers. She later checked into a rehab facility to be treated for her condition. 4. Kidding Around It was around this time that rumors of Messer cheating on Calvert with ex-boyfriend Robbie Kidd began to circulate on social media. 5. On to the Next One In November of 2014, Jeremy declared that he was “done” with Leah and began flirting with models on Instagram. 6. A Public Separation Between Teen Mom 2 and social media, Jeremy and Leah’s separation played out in the public eye. Now, it looks as though they’re being just as open about their reconciliation.

Every once in a while, a celebrity couple comes along that makes so much sense you wonder how you their perfection for one another never occurred to you before. But in the case of Drake and Bella Hadid, you have to forgive yourself, because no one really thinks about Bella Hadid on regular basis, do they? Anyway, it looks as though these two have been engaging in lanky, sullen sex for several months now. “It started out casual, but they’re definitely serious now,” a source tells Us Weekly. “They’ve been meeting up and going out for romantic dinners.” The insider adds that Drake and Bella are far more than friends with benefits, and their relationship appears to have already reached the “exclusive” stage. In fact, it seems Drizzy went all out on Bella’s recent birthday, dropping tens of thousands on a lavish party for the model and her friends. “[Drake] planned it and paid for everything,” says the source . Now that the word is out that Drake was the one to finance the soiree, fans are reading way into Bella’s birthday Instagram post. “Thank you for all of your birthday wishes and love … I’m exploding with happiness and so thankful for all of the amazing people in my life. I love you,” she wrote. In all likelihood, it was just a generic message to her friends and family. Unless … was she telling Drake she loves him?! Probably not, but if the rumors that these two have been hooking up since June are true, they might actually be at that point in their relationship. Anyway, both parties have gone through messy high-profile breakups, so fans are all psyched about the possibility of the two of them closing out 2017 together. Bella and The Weeknd broke up last year after dating for several months. And Drake has been dumped by Rihanna approximately 37 times, by our count, so it’ll be nice to see him move on with someone new. Unless it means no more breakup ballads. If that’s the case, we need to start a GoFundMe to bribe Bella to end this thing, ASAP. We need Sad Drizzy in our lives. View Slideshow: Drake: A History of Women He May Have Dated

Keeping up with the comings and goings of all the uteruses of all the Teen Mom girls … well, it’s not an easy job. But somebody’s got to do it. We’re on a constant pregnancy watch with Catelynn Lowell — her husband, Tyler Baltierra, has made it clear that he wants another baby and he wants one soon. Maci Bookout has had not one but two surprise pregnancies in the past few years, so who’s to say that couldn’t happen again? And impressively, four out of the five Teen Mom 2 ladies gave birth this year! Back in January, both Jenelle Evans and Chelsea Houska welcomed adorable little babies. In July, Briana DeJesus had precious baby Stella , and then in August, Kailyn Lowry had the equally precious baby Lux . The baby boom even extends beyond the main cast members — we also just learned that Jenelle’s first husband, Courtland Rogers, is expecting a child with his girlfriend. It’s a lot to take in, right? It must be especially a lot for Leah Messer, the only Teen Mom on her show who has yet to join the 2017 baby trend. … Or is she?! Yesterday, Leah shared a new selfie, and it’s got quite a few people theorizing that she could, in fact, be pregnant right at this very moment. Here, check it out for yourself: “Never stop believing in HOPE, miracles happen everyday!” she captioned the photo. She also added a boatload of hashtags: “good morning,” “good morning quotes,” “make a difference,” “start a movement,” “start your day right,” “hope,” “faith,” “love,” “joy,” “kindness,” and “live your standard.” Looks like she’s really taking all that motivational speaking seriously, huh? But though it’s nice that she’s feeling so inspired and uplifting these days, no one is really focusing on her caption. And that’s because it looks like Leah could possibly have a tiny little baby bump in this photo! We all know that she’s normally very, very thin , but in this photo, her midsection looks a little more rounded, doesn’t it? Not like she’s gained any weight, but like she’s got a bun in that oven of hers! Of course, it could just be the angle she’s rocking here, which is honestly pretty weird. She’s got her knees bent and her back arched with her arm extended — it’s a fair bit of contortion for a selfie, and it could definitely cause roundness. And then there’s the fact that Leah has directly denied the new rumors. In the comments on the photo, one person asked “Are you pregnant again?”, and she responded with “What? I don’t even have a boyfriend? lol.” Which seems pretty conclusive, right? It also seems important to mention that this year, Leah’s been pretty fond of getting big rumors started about herself. Back in March, her daughter made a comment about ” the baby in [her] tummy ,” and she did little to deny it. It goes without saying that if she was pregnant then, we’d definitely be able to tell by now. Then in August, she shared a photo of an engagement ring , only to later reveal that the hand the ring was on wasn’t even hers, and she was just talking about the manicure on the hand anyway. So for all we know, she could have been bouncing all around her house yesterday, taking selfie after selfie in weird position after weird position, just to see if she could get a new round of pregnancy rumors going. We honestly can’t put anything past these Teen Mom gals, can we? View Slideshow: Teen Mom & Teen Mom 2: The Complete Babies and Children Guide!
On September 10th, not even a month ago, baby Ember Jean was born to Audrey and Jeremy Roloff. Jer and Auj are losing sleep and overwhelmed, but they’re making it work. And they’re looking ahead to the future. Like all good, first-time parents, it sounds like these two are agonizing over how to raise their kid. Being a parent is the toughest job in the world. Recently, Jeremy Roloff shared the first close-up photo of Ember Jean’s face . Along with it, he shared a little about his experience so far with being a parent. “Ember Jean is two and a half weeks old already!” Now she’s closer to a month — she’ll soon be growing up before our very eyes. “She’s doing great, loving life and practicing her singing whenever she’s hungry or needs to poo… Auj has had a tough few weeks, (more on that over on her profile) but that’s not to negate the fact that she’s having fun and enjoying being a first time mother!” Audrey Roloff’s postpartum symptoms are absolutely zero fun, but she has a support network and she’s going to be okay. And so will their cat. “Pine, Pine is wondering why we brought this “thing” home.” Cats can actually develop beautiful bonds with their humans, but right now the cat has to be like “this is the most useless, noisiest hairless cat in this entire colony of hairless cats.” Because, to cats, we’re all just huge, dumb cats. “And me, I’m a Dad – loving the perspective shifts and late night cuddles while I read my book.” With the exhaustion and stress comes a sense of satisfaction. Having kids is a milestone for a lot of people. The new parents spoke to Us Weekly about their anxieties about raising Ember Jean . “Just balancing life while being a mom, like work and marriage and other family members and friendships and all of that, just trying to find a rhythm.” We all know what work-life balance is like. Being a parent means always putting your child first, but if you forget to take time for yourself, you’ll completely lose your mind. What’s eating at Jer? Questions of how to raise Ember. ““For me, specifically, just parenting in the sense of discipline when they start getting older and that just makes me nervous because you can do it really, really right and you can also do it really, really wrong.” Our first comment is, of course, don’t panic. While it’s true that a lot of child-abusers use “discipline” as a euphemism for their abuse, there are non-abusive parents who use the term. It looks like Jer is very conscious of how awful some parenting can be, what with is “you can also do it really, really wrong,” line. Obviously, abuse is in the “really, really wrong” category. But it’s possible to develop an adversarial relationship with your children even without, you know, causing them pain. If a parent is obsessed with consequences, or always winning (and never picking their battles), you’re probably going to see a child who grows up full of resentment, literally counting down the months and weeks and days until they escape off to college. You might get a rebellious rule-breaker even before that, too — depending upon the child. And if you do, that’s 100% on you. The key is to, well, find a balance — don’t be an authoritarian parent, but also don’t be automatically permissive of everything. The general advice is to be authoritative — that is, you know that you’re in charge and they do to — without feeling the need to assert your authority at all times. The couple mentions that Audrey was brought up in a very strict environment, while Jeremy had a lot more freedom. We’d say that the Roloff kids turned out pretty well, so taking advice from Matt and Amy sounds like a good idea. Jeremy says that everyone has one idea or another. “Ultimately, like, everyone is gonna tell you all these different things to do and try.” Yeah, some people’s ideas will horrify you, but others might be helpful. “There are so many different ways to parent and raise a baby and all that, but ultimately just kind of trusting your gut I guess and doing what you think is best.” Depends on your gut, to be honest. “I feel like we feel confident in it.” He’s confident, but he’s honest. “I think we’re ready for this journey, but are we prepared? No. I don’t think you can be prepared. Similarly to marriage, you just do it and it happens and then you kind of catch up to it.” He’s right — no one is ever 100% prepared for their first child. Because each child is different, we’d say that no one is 100% prepared for their second or third children, either. But the fact that they’re thinking and worrying about how to do things the right way is a great sign. Not thinking about what’s right, not worrying, is how you become a bad parent.

The Duggar clan is unlike just about any other family on television. Obviously, with 19 siblings, they’re much larger than any other famous brood, and while that may be what attracted viewers in the first place, it’s not what keeps them tuning in. No, to understand why Jim Bob, Michelle, and their children have become such subjects of fascination (and, in some cases, derision), one must examine their unique family dynamic. On television, we generally only see the sunny side of life on the Duggar compound, and viewers might be left with the impression that the siblings get along with one another and their parents at all times. Of course, that’s simply not the case. Jim Bob clashes with his daughter’s husbands to the point that he’s been unable to keep the conflicts out of tabloid headlines. As for the siblings that keep fans tuning into Counting On … well, they may do a better job of hiding it, but it seems they butt heads just as hard. In fact, fans have gone so far as to dub one Duggar girl the “fundie Regina George,” in reference to the famous Mean Girls villain. Due to a take-charge attitude that some viewers interpret as domineering or manipulative, Jessa Duggar has been dubbed “the mean Duggar.” Most fans don’t point to any one incident in particular as evidence, but instead claim that Jessa is simply ruder and less sympathetic than her sisters. “Sorry not sorry I really have no tolerance for Jessa,” an anonymous commenter wrote on the Duggars Facebook page this week. “She’s a mean girl and on the show she tries to hog up most of the conversation and likes everything centered around her. More Jana and less Jessa please.” But if specifics are what you’re after, there have been plenty of incidents over the years that have led fans to the conclusion that Jessa isn’t the kindest soul on the compound. For starters, we’ve seen Jessa exploit Jana Duggar on multiple occasions, often corralling her older sister into performing childcare and duties and household repairs. Jessa has admitted to Counting On cameras that it’s a pattern of behavior that dates back to her early childhood. “I think as I started to get a little bit older, I also had a very strong personality so I would sometimes protest the ideas that [Jana] had,” she said on one episode. “She’d be like, ‘We’re going to do this,’ and I’d be like, ‘No we’re not.'” Some fans believe that Jessa’s vanity is her greatest sin, and they point to incidents such as the time she attempted to steal the spotlight following Amy Duggar’s wedding as proof. Just one day after the ceremony, a collection of never-before-seen photos from Jessa’s wedding appeared online. “We all had such a wonderful time at Amy’s wedding,” the official Duggar facebook page stated. “All of this excitement has caused Jessa to pull out her pictures from her wedding and post 100 of them on her website.” Many fans thought it was a transparently passive-aggressive move. There are several more incidents, such as the time that Jessa bragged on Instagram that a stranger paid for her order at Starbucks as part of the “pay it forward” movement that was taking place at the time. Asked if she returned the favor by paying for the next customer’s order, Jessa did not reply, and she eventually just deleted the post. But the worst allegations have to do with the fiery rhetoric Mrs. Seewald uses on social media. Jessa has compared abortion to the Holocaust and gleefully informed her followers that they’ll soon be burning in hell. Of course, in cases like that, she’s just vocalizing what all of her siblings believe. Watch Counting On online for more from reality TV’s most controversial family.
