Ryan Edwards, Still in Rehab, Misses Bentley’s 10th Birthday

If you’re a Teen Mom fan, especially one who’s been following the show since the beginning, brace yourself … Bentley Edwards just turned 10. Doesn’t that make you feel about ten million years old yourself? Maci Bookout’s little boy just had his 10th birthday, which means that MTV has been following her life story for just over a decade. She was featured in the very first episode of 16 and Pregnant — remember that? It aired in the summer of 2009, and it was an intense series premiere, to say the least. In that episode, we saw Maci as a high school student who’d gotten knocked up by her older boyfriend, Ryan Edwards. They had fun together, and she clearly wanted to have a real family with him, but even then, he just wasn’t that interested. From the very beginning though, Maci proved herself to be a great mom , stepping up to take care of baby Bentley and doing the best she could to give him a good life. When Teen Mom started up and showed her life in more detail, she quickly became a fan favorite, as did Bentley. We saw her deal with Ryan staying out all night and refusing to do pretty much anything for their child . By the end of the first season, she dumped him, thank goodness. As the years went on, Bentley did have a relationship with Ryan, but mostly because of Ryan’s parents, who have always doted on Bentley. But Maci was always there, and because of her, he’s grown to be a sweet, funny, darling little boy. Except he’s not so little anymore, huh? To celebrate his big day, she shared a sweet photo of them together on Instagram: And the caption she wrote to go along with the picture … Well, if you tear up, it’s only natural. She kicked things off by announcing “My baby turned 10 today!”, and then things got real cute, real quick. “This boy has brought me more love than one soul could imagine, more laughter than my cheeks can handle, and more pride than I deserve,” she wrote. “When I say ‘He is a good one’ … I mean it.” She explained that Bentley is “as smart, funny, and athletic as they come,” but those aren’t his best qualities. “He is a good one because he is kind to everyone and loves with his whole heart,” she said. “I am so proud of this young man and the human being that he is.” She finished her message off with “Bentley, you rock buddy! You’ll always be my baby.” And her followers arrived in droves to join in on wishing him a happy birthday. “Happiest of birthdays, Bentley!” one of them commented. “You’re 10?! I can’t believe I’ve been watching you and your strong mama’s story for this long.” “My heart is so full!” another fan wrote. “Maci you’re amazing and Benny is so very blessed to have you as a mom!” Tons and tons of people left simpler, but still very sweet, “Happy birthday!” messages, including Kailyn Lowry and Chelsea Houska. And others couldn’t help but mention Ryan and his absence. See, Ryan has been in rehab since the beginning of the month, at least. Reports have claimed that he’ll stay there until next February or March, so it’s likely he’s doing six months of treatment. We still don’t have a lot of information on it, so there’s no word on if it was court-ordered or not. But we do know that he missed the birth of his first child with wife Mackenzie Standifer , so court-ordered or not, he seems to be taking it seriously. And since he the day of his second son’s actual birth, of course he missed Bentley’s birthday, too. “What an amazing young man you’re raising, in spite of daddy issues,” applauded one of Maci’s followers. “Congrats on making it 10 years Maci!” another wrote. “You did it! Without Ryan.” “You’re raising a good boy despite his dad not being there. Good job!” As one person pointed out, since Ryan’s been a “useless dad,” she can “take the credit for how perfect he’s turned out.” Someone else said that “It’s not easy being a momma with a baby daddy that isn’t worth a piece of [poop emoji].” It’s true that Ryan has never been very active in Bentley’s life — like we said earlier, if it weren’t for his parents, who knows if he’d be around at all. View Slideshow: Ryan Edwards’ Parents: We’re So Afraid He’ll Relapse But hopefully all the treatment he’s getting now will help him be a better father than he’s ever been. And when he comes home sometime a few months from now, he’ll be able to fully appreciate what a great family he has. Happy birthday, Bentley!

Amy Roloff and Chris Marek Flaunt Pumpkin Patch PDA in New Pics!

Pumpkin season at Roloff Farms is winding down to a close. Little People, Big World star Amy Roloff was sure to get a photoshoot with her boyfriend, Chris Marek , before all of the gourds were gone. The two of them flaunted their pumpkin patch PDA, and fans are eating it up. Take a look: Amy Roloff shared four tender photos taken on Roloff Farms. “I was so happy when I asked Chris, several days ago, to do a ‘photo shoot’ together and he agreed!,” Amy’s caption begins. Amy goes on to reveal that she’s posting “just a glimpse of a few photos I wanted to share here.” She herself hasn’t seen them all, she notes, saying: “and I can’t wait to see the rest of them.” “Thank you so much @moniqueserraphotography for capturing us in a real and special way,” she writes to the photographer. “You were fabulous,” she praises the photographer. “And made it such a fun time!” Taking photos, even with those whom you love, can be awkward and exhausting. Clearly that was not the case here. Amy then pivots to singing the praises of her boyfriend, Chris, and their relationship. “I love how our story began,” she gushes. “How we continue to learn more about each other and love every day.” “And,” Amy brags. “We’re just as good and wonderful two years later. Woohoo!” Amy concluded her post, after speaking to the photographer and her boyfriend, with a message to her followers. “Happy Fall,” she writes. “One more weekend left of pumpkin season at Roloff Farms,” she says. Amy concludes her captionw ith an invitation: “And I hope to see you. #storyofamyandchris” Fans were very excited by the images, and it looks like several of them were all thinking the same thing. “My first thought was engagement!” writes one. “What fabulous photos, they capture your souls” “Marriage next?” asks another. “You’re a lovely couple.” Amy made another post to celebrate the bittersweet end of Pumpkin Season. “Last weekend of Pumpkin Season at Roloff Farms,” Amy begins. “So so thankful and appreciative of all of YOU coming on out to the farm this season,” she continues. Of course, not all fans can make it out to Oregon, as much as they might like to. “I had a great time meeting all of you,” Amy continues. “And hope you had a good time!” Amy writes: “It’s always kind of sad to see the season end and humble by all of you visiting.” “It was a wild weekend,” Amy says. “Rain sunshine heard thunder and saw a beautiful rain!” “What a spectacular way to end the weekend,” she raves. “My costumes were a 50s/60s look, pirate, and ’70s,” she shares. Lots of guests over multiple days means more opportunities for different costumes. “Thank you again everyone!” she writes. “You’re the best.” “Hope to see you next year!” she concludes. “Peace out.” The pumpkin patch PDA photos really do look like they could be part of an engagement photoshoot. After seeing this couple pack on the affection for two years, we can understand why some of her fans would jump to that conclusion. But we should always be careful when commenting on a real person’s social media. There is a fine line between enthusiasm for someone’s life milestones and pressuring them to marry. Getting hyped as cool. Being pushy is not. View Slideshow: Chris Marek: Who is Amy Roloff’s Boyfriend?!?

Jacob Roloff: Gushed Over, Praised by Fiancee Isabel Rock

Last month, Jacob Roloff and Isabel Rock announced their wedding date . Now, Isabel can’t help but gush about the former Little People, Big World star. Isabel is telling fans how supportive Jacob is — and revealing how he helps her with her art. “The man behind the resin pieces,” Isabel Rock gushed on social media alongside a glimpse of Jacob helping with her art. “I couldn’t have done it without his help,” she admits. Isabel explains: “If you are not familiar with resin, there are so many steps and tricks and measuring.” “And,” she continues. “You can’t mess any of it up or you’ll ruin the entire piece.” Isabel then announces: “Jacob always comes through!” Isabel wasn’t done praising the love of her life. “He really is the most helpful and supportive fiance,” she gushes. Her post ends: “I really love him so much!” Awww, they’re so cute. And he has been supportive of her in other ways that do not have to do with her art. Alongside this tender photo, Isabel recently gushed about how Jacob helped her self-image. “When I first saw this photo,” Isabel writes. “I was horrified at how chubby my cheeks looked.” “This beautiful picture, with all of its complexities that make it what it is,” she describes. “And of course,” Isabel laments. “I zeroed in on the most negative thing I could find.” “My cheeks are one of Jacob’s favorite things about me,” she reveals. Cute! “I’ve had them since birth,” Isabel says of her cheeks. “And apparently, they’re never going away.” She explains how Jacob’s feedback helped her to appreciate the image. “Now, with some perspective, I see this photograph as one I will cherish for life,” Isabel writes. “The way he is looking at me,” she admires. “That perfect Iowa sunset.” She mentions: “The fact that there were so many deer in a meadow behind us and our dogs were in that same meadow playing ball.” “Life is a lot like this,” Isabel notes. A huge part of being a celebrity who posts lowkey thinkpieces to Instagram is drawing larger life lessons from individual photos. “We tend to hone in on the negatives,” Isabel acknowledges. “It is the way we have trained our brains to work since the beginning.” “We focus on what we don’t like, what we don’t have, what we wish were different,” Isabel explains. Isabel continues: “Instead of looking at the whole picture and admiring it for all that it is.” “I’d like you to join me in training our minds to see things differently,” Isabel invites her followers. When looking at the world, she says, “we don’t have to see it negatively.” She suggests that they join her in “Practicing gratitude, daily affirmations, changing our thought patterns,” “All of these things,” Isabel says. “Can shift our perspective.” She is absolutely right. Sometimes, the key to changing the way that you think is just daily practice. Isabel points out that rejecting the natural instinct to focus on the negative can make people’s lives better. She suggests focusing on this “so that when something bad comes along we can still find the good in it.” “We can still find the light,” Isabel concludes. She then follows that post with a couple of tags. “#worldmentalhealthday,” she writes. “#ilovehimsomuch” Jacob has been publicly supportive of Isabel’s art, but it’s great to see that he gets involved in the process. His mother, Amy Roloff, has also shown her support by giving Isabel’s gallery showings a boost on social media. It is heartwarming to see that Jacob also lends emotional support to Isabel when it comes to loving herself. Heartwarming, but not surprising — they are, after all, engaged.

Molly Roloff Actually Visits Family Farm, Makes Amy One Happy Mama

Molly Roloff may not be a cast member on Little People, Big World. But that doesn’t mean she isn’t a very welcome member of her own family. Unlike her brother, Jacob, who quit the aforementioned TLC series last summer in a major huff, Molly has never made any grand statements about the show being fake or phony or silly in any way. Nope. She’s simply chosen to live a more private life, one that has taken her away from her family farm and one that includes a very normal and content existence with husband Joel. Like we said before, however, Molly is on great terms with her parents despite having removed herself from their everyday lives and their most profitable source of income. And that relationship was on full display this past weekend. In honor of the beginning of pumpkin season at Roloff Farms, Molly and Joel drove on down and supported their loved ones. They posed for a photo with the entire family , and they also posed for a photo with just Amy, as you can see above. “I was so so excited that Molly and Joel were able to drive down for opening weekend of pumpkin season at Roloff Farms Pumpkin Patch,” Amy wrote as a caption to the two images above. She added: “It was wonderful to see them. This mom was happy.” And below is the snapshot that has been making the Internet rounds, with nearly every single Roloff in the same place for a fun change: As far as Molly goes, she recently hung with her dad as well and does try to come back to the farm when she can. But she headed off college at Whitworth University and then met her now-husband shortly thereafter, Joel Silvius. Together, the couple chose to stay in the area and they’re now permanently based in Spokane, Washington, which is about a six-hour drive from where Matt and Amy reside. (Yes, Matt and Amy are divorced, but they still live on the same large piece of property. It’s a whole thing.) It’s not a short haul for Joel and Molly to visit the farm, but pumpkin season is THE huge event for this family. At least professionally speaking. “The first weekend of pumpkin season has officially come and the whole family came out!” the Roloffs shared on the farm’s official Instagram page. “Thank you to everyone who has come out despite the rainy Oregon weather!”  View Slideshow: Little People, Big World: 19 Shocking Scandals… Exposed!

Tori Roloff Opens Up About Marriage to Zach: I Always Have to Reach the High Shelf!

Little People, Big World star Tori Roloff is a wonderful mother to her adorable baby, Jackson. But she’s also an amazing wife to her husband. In fact, she posted the ultimate anniversaty tribute to Zach earlier this year. Now, she’s opening up to fans about how her husband’s dwarfism impacts their marriage. She gets very honest. On Monday night, Tori Roloff took to Instagram for a no-holds-barred Q&A with her fans and followers. Seriously, no topic was off-limits. Tori gushed about having found an entire community of little people through her husband, Zach Roloff. Tori wrote that she is “so blessed that I’ve made such amazing friends in the dwarf community.” (Disclaimer: some little people are totally onboard with the dwarf label while others are emphatically not) Tori went on to speak about how Zach’s dwarfism impacts their relationship. It turns out that the effect is not as great as some people have assumed. Tori is quick to shoot down the misconception that his dwarfism is a “limitation” within their marriage. She does say that the biggest impact is that she has “asked to reach the high shelf a lot.” That sort of thing can happen in a lot of marriages where there’s a height difference. Tori says that things go smoothly so long as neither of them are trying to be a different height than they really are. “To me it feels weird to crouch,” Tori confesses. “And,” she adds. “Zach always told me to stand.” “I’m not trying to be shorter and he’s not trying to be taller,” she notes. Any relationship is going to be healthier while both parties agree to be exactly who they are. “I love my husband for his heart not his height,” Tori affirms. “Love is love is love.” She’s right — and it’s good that she makes it clear that she is not a “chaser.” That is, she is not someone who fetishizes him for his dwarfism. She loves Zach for who he is, neither for nor despite his height. That is just as it should be. She also speaks about baby Jackson, and this is when she starts talking science and genetics with her followers. “It’s a dominant gene,” she explains. “So you only have the gene if you are an achon.” (How many other reality stars can hold their own in a conversations about hereditary traits and genetics?) “They do all carry the gene for dyostraphic,” Tori continues. “But,” she notes. “Their partner would also have to carry the gene to have children with dyostraphic dwarfism.” Fans ask how she feels about the very real possibility that sweet baby Jackson might need to undergo surgeries, like his father and grandfather. Tori says that “of course” the idea of that scares her. “There’s no telling,” Tori admits. Tori then notes: “but we’re blessed to have no health issues so far.” “But we have so much support and love,” Tori says. “And I know we’ll handle anything God throws at us.” Right now, she’s more worried about the bumps and bruises that Jackson is very naturally getting as he learns to walk.

Jeremy Roloff Gets Daddy-Shamed for the Dumbest Reason Ever

Move over, mommy-shaming and fat-shaming. It’s time to make room for very awful daddy-shaming. Isn’t that right, Jeremy Roloff The former Little People, Big World star was on the receiving end of some ridiculous backlash this week after he shared what appears to be a simple and harmless photo of himself and his one-year old daughter, Ember. The picture was snapped in Nashville and captioned as follows: Spent a few days in Nashville and now we’re in Franklin, TN. Such a lovely town. Although it reminds me of Bend – almost too popular to enjoy now! But still, a beautiful town and we always enjoy our time down here. The people are great and the hospitality is noticed! P.S. If we took a photo with you at some point – tag us so we can see it! The image itself, meanwhile, simply features Jeremy tossing his infant up in the air: WHEEEE , right? Apparently not. More like, WTH , according to some misguided and cruel trolls. “Idiot. She’s not a circus act,” one person actually wrote in the comments, while another chimed in with; Wow. Be careful throwing your kid like that.” A third person warned the ex-TLC personality about shaken baby syndrome, while a fourth suggested that this move is harmful to “little brains.” We have no idea what to even say here. Nearly every parent alive has thrown his or her into the air in this sort of manner. The kid is never more than, like a foot above the parent’s hands outstretched hands and always falls very easily and comfortably back into place. (We can’t believe we actually need to spell this out for some people.) Thankfully, a number of social media users leaped to Jeremy’s defense and called out his critics for being, well… complete morons. “Accidents can happen doing anything,” explained one individual “Can’t stop living life because ur scared to actually have fun. Most babies like being tossed in the air, so take a seat.” For the record, Ember is doing just fine. Jeremy shared plenty of other photos from this same trip, as he and his daughter and wife enjoyed their time visiting Tennessee. Speaking of that wife, Audrey Roloff can relate to what her husband is now going through. She’s heard it from followers in the past for the kind of outfits in which she placed Ember and even for the kind of outfit she once wore to the doctor’s office. We’re not kidding. This actually happened . Overall, Jeremy and Audrey frequently post pictures of themselves and their child. They gush over her every chance they get. They come across as caring and as loving as two parents can possibly be. Jeremy has not yet responded to this dumb criticism and we hope he never does. Just enjoy every second you have with that 13-month old bundle of joy, man. She’s precious. View Slideshow: Audrey and Jeremy Roloff: 19 Moments We’ll Never, Ever Forget

Matt Roloff and Chris Marek: Totally Best Friends Now!

Matt Roloff and Chris Marek apparently have two things in common: 1. Both have seen Amy Roloff naked. 2. Both have broad feelings of respect for the other. All fans of Little People, Big World were aware of point number-one, of course, as Matt was married to Amy for about 27 years and Marek has been dated her for just over two now. But point number-two is new and interesting information. For several months, there’s mostly just been assumed tension between Roloff and Marek, largely based on the simple fact that both have a romantic history with Amy. Moreover, the pair are forced to see each other often because Amy and Matt still work together on their family farm and still live very close by to one another. However, Marek just spoke to Radar Online and cleared up all chatter of any real issues between him and his girlfriend’s ex-husband, saying the following to this rival website: “I think [Amy] is more accepting of us being friends. In fact Matt and I just shared the day yesterday on the farm. Everyone is fine and doing well.” It wasn’t all that long ago that Amy made it clear how uncomfortable she was with Matt and Marek spending any real time together. Marek admitted as much in a separate interview with Radar. “To be honest, Amy was concerned in the beginning about how Matt and I might interact,” he said at the time, pretty much stating the obvious. Again: Matt and Amy see each other very often. They are both prominently involved in the lives of their four kids and two grandkids. It makes perfect sense that Amy would be concerned about Marek interacted with Matt; the same way it would make sense for Matt to be concerned about the way Amy gets along with his serious girlfriend, Caryn Chandler. She’s pictured here with the reality show star: As we’ve written for a long time, though, Matt and Amy have handled their divorce and their ongoing friendship as well as could possibly be imagined. Just over a month ago we stated that the former couple has clearly moved on and asked fans : Why are you still giving them a hard time?!? Heck, if Marek and Matt can extend an olive branch between themselves, we’re pretty sure people who have never met either should be able to do the same. The only issue we really care about is which couple will get engaged first: Marek and Roloff or Roloff and Chandler? “We are not talking about marriage yet, but everything is going well – very strong, all good,” Chris tells Radar. He added back in March: “I’m excited. We had a good year, we’ve done a lot of stuff and hopefully other people will enjoy the adventures we have. It’s been a good year.” Okay, fine… so he’snow the best spoken person on the planet. But he makes Amy happy and that’s all that matters to us!

Matt Roloff Wishes Ex-Wife Happy Birthday, Stuns Critics

Matt Roloff has a message for everyone who thinks he and his ex-wife are in an ugly feud. And he also has a message for that ex-wife herself. In an Instagram caption that likely came as a shock to some people who believe everything they read online, the Little Poeple, Big World star wished Amy Roloff a happy birthday. For real! This really happened, despite critics around the Web often writing that Amy and Matt asre engaged in some kind of rivalry. “A very Happy Birthday to both Amy and Molly who share the exact same big day. I hope you both have a wonderful amazing Day!!” Matt wrote alongside the image above, which features himself and his daughter. The reality star included a cake emoji and a balloon emoji and some other emojis along with this caption as well. Matt and Amy filed for divorce in the spring of 2016, many months after they separated. They still run Roloff Farm together and they still anchor Little People, Big World together and they still get along pretty darn well, if you ask us. However, there’s understandable tension at times because Amy is dating Chris Marek and Matt is dating Caryn Chandler and the paths of these couples often cross. But we challenge anyone reading this to find any negative remarks out there from either Matt in Amy’s direction or vice versa. Just because Matt didn’t actually celebrate Amy’s birthday this past weekend certainly doesn’t mean anything. She was taken out to dinner by Marek and it would have been fairly awkward if her ex-husband had tagged along. For whatever reason, though, many social media users leave critical comments on Matt’s page any time he references Caryn; or on Amy’s page any time she references Chris. We asked a few weeks ago why fans are so obsessed with stirring up controversy when there is none, considering how smoothly Amy and Matt have continued to run their business in the wake of their divorce. Moreover, all four of the Roloff children seem totally accepting of these new romantic entanglements. So why can’t fans of their TLC show also go along for the ride? For the record, this is what Amy and Matt said in their statement at the time of their official split: After 27 years of marriage, it is with great sadness that we have come to the difficult decision to file for divorce. We are proud of what we have accomplished together, including raising our four wonderful children, who have grown to become remarkable adults and building our strong and ongoing successful businesses. Our kids and our ever-growing family, and the love and support we have for them, will be our priority. We will continue to work together side-by-side in the daily responsibilities for our many current ventures. We would like to thank our family, friends, and all our fans for their continued support and understanding during this difficult time. Unlike many other celebrities who break up, they’ve actually managed to stand by these words and keep their family nice and close. Well done, you two. And happy birthday, Amy and Molly!

Audrey Roloff and Jeremy Roloff: When Will They Have More Kids?!?

Look, Audrey and Jeremy Roloff. We know you are very busy these days. You have a toddler at home and a memoir set to come out and a popular blog to keep writing, but we have a quick question to which we’d love a definitive answer: When are you having more children?!?!? We’re kidding, of course.  Or we’re kidding about the urgency of the answer at least. But it is a common concern of many celebrity gossip followers to wonder when their favorite couple will have a baby… and then to wonder when this couple will have more babies… and so on and so forth. With talk online of Audrey being pregnant already with child number-two, the Roloffs told People Magazine this week that they certainly are anxious to expand their family. They just aren’t certain when this will happen. “Jer and I definitely want to have more children,” Audrey tells this publication, adding: “We’ve never really put a number on it, we want to take them one at a time. “We’ve always envisioned a big family, that’s always been something we’ve talked about from the very beginning.” “Enough to fill up a sprinter van,” jokes Jeremy. It’s not difficult to envision Audrey and Jeremy as the parents to many children. They are a faith-based twosome who seems very dedicated to themselves and to their family. We’ve never seen a woman gush over her kid the way Audrey has gushed over daughter Ember ever since she was born in September. Elsewhere in this same interview, Jeremy touched on another aspect of the couple’s future. He admitted that he talks to his parents constantly about buying the family farm in Oregon. Interesting, right? We suppose thia makes some sense, with Matt Roloff moving to Arizona and Amy Roloff perhaps moving away to start a life with boyfriend Chris Marek. We simply had no idea such a transfer of property was in the works. For now, however, the main work on which Audrey and Jeremy are focusing in the rollout of their book, “A Love Letter Life: Pursue Creatively, Date Intentionally, Love Faithfully.” It comes out in April of 2019. “We believe everyone has a unique love story and we want people to be super stoked to press into their own love story,” Jeremy explained to People of the book’s premise. “We want readers to prepare more for their marriage than their wedding [day]. “I think social media can paint facades, so [Audrey and I] hope that people will walk away [from the book] knowing that we aren’t perfect, our [dating] relationship wasn’t perfect. “We learned from our struggles and we came out stronger on the other side.” Teases Audrey on this same subject: “I think people will be surprised at how much they don’t know about our love story.” View Slideshow: Audrey and Jeremy Roloff: 19 Moments We’ll Never, Ever Forget

Paola Mayfield Shares Sweet Baby Bump Pic, Emotional Message to Fans

Paola Mayfield has made it official: Two body parts of hers are growing these days. As previously announced, the 90 Day Fiance star is expecting her first child with husband Russ, as the reality stars themselves confirmed this blessed news just over a week ago on Instagram. Naturally, as a result, Mayfield’s belly is getting bigger by the month. But the TLC personality has also now made it clear via social media that something aside from her stomach has increased in size of late: Her heart. Indeed, Paola just shared a new, precious picture (above) of Russ kissing her baby bump, adding as a lengthy caption: “We are so thankful and happy for each one of your beautiful messages! We weren’t expecting so much love and so much support. Thank you all so much.” She then referenced some of the marital strife that she has been through over the past year or so. “You guys know all that Russ and I went through the past months,” Mayfield said in her caption, continuing in further detail: “I was angry and devastated after all you can never completely recover from something like that but today we have a reason to smile and to be happy, a reason to move forward and to be the best we can. “I wish I could keep up and like all your comments from my last post. I love you all so very much! “Thank you for living this amazing experience with us and for showing us so much love.” Mayfield is mostly referencing a miscarriage she suffered last year in this passage. As is the case with so many couples that go through this awful experience, Russ and Paola nearly hit a breaking point due to the tragedy. Paola made it pretty clear on air and in a few statements that she though Russ wasn’t there for her in the way she needed following the devastating news. Meanwhile, Russ thought his wife was trying to shut him out. It’s never been clear just how close the stars were to splitting, but their relationship hadn’t seemed entirely stable even before the miscarriage. The main storyline surrounding the Mayfields during their time on 90 Day Finance had been Paola’s penchant for posing nearly-naked and Russ’ unease over his wife showing the world such revealing assets. This was a legitimate issue between the husband and wife. It became so well known and questions about their relationship so pervasive that both sides of the romance semi-recently addressed their status online. “He accepts me,” Paola told fans in early July of Russ. “Loves me and respects me the way I am and lets me work even when he is not 100% comfortable.” Russ, for his part, also made it evident a short bit ago that he loves Paola and is committed to Paola and people need to stop claiming anything to the contrary. “I accept and am proud of my wife for the beautiful woman she is,” Russ has said , adding: “I am tired of the comments from the marriage ‘experts’ stating I deserve better, my wife doesn’t respect me, or she only loves me for my money and so on and so forth… “I am proud of where I come from. And where I am going and that’s with the love of my life.” And now also with a precious bundle of joy!  CONGRATS ALL AROUND!
