Jonathan Rivera: 90 Day Fiance Star Goes Instagram Official With New Girlfriend!

About a month ago,  90 Day Fiance  alum  Jonathan Rivera revealed his girlfriend  to the world. Well, he revealed that he had a girlfriend — and that she was hot af. He kept her face hidden, almost to the point of absurdity. This week, Jonathan is showing her off to the world, face included. They’ve gone  Instagram official . Jonathan has spent weeks building up hype for his new girlfriend. An entire month ago, they were on a sexy, romantic cruise. He didn’t shy away from showing her bikini-clad skin or flaunting her curves. But her face remained a mystery. Now, the sometimes-literal mask comes off. Take a look: Jonathan shared this photo on Wednesday, June 13. “WCW,” he tagged the photo, using a common acronym that means “Woman Crush Wednesday.” We can see why he’s crushing hard on this gorgeous woman. While her identity remains unknown, now that we’ve seen her face, it’s only a matter of time before someone comes forward with a name. And, if fans are lucky, she and Jonathan will be forthcoming about their relationship. Obviously, the two of them have made it clear that they both enjoy being beautiful people on a sexy cruise. But fans want to know more about them. How did the two of them meet? Is she another gal from Lumberton, NC? Or did Jonathan meet her while he was on vacation, like how he met his ex-wife, Fernanda Flores? For ages, rumors about Jonathan and Fernanda’s split have claimed that he was cheating on them before their separation. Specifically, rumors claimed that it was common knowledge in Lumberton that he was stepping out on her. But Jonathan has made it clear that he never cheated on Fernanda . And while there’s no love lost between these exes anymore, Fernanda has not contradicted Jonathan’s statement. Not publicly, anyway. Who knows what either of them may be saying about the other behind closed doors. That’s not to say that they haven’t been taking shots at one another over social media. Recently, Fernanda made a lot of claims about Jonathan, including that he’s not actually as wealthy as he appears. She says that he owes more than he actually makes in taxes (unless he got big into cryptocurrency, we’re not sure how that went down). Some assumed that Fernanda making these claims was brought on by jealousy after seeing Jonathan with his new lady love. But Jonathan explained that he had just signed the divorce papers. Which means that Fernanda was waiting until she knew that she was free to speak out. But they’re both free of each other. Why do they keep speaking out? Honestly, we think that this is because neither of them have sat down and told all, in an interview or an essay, to explain their breakup. We have bits and pieces — including claims that Fernanda wanted to live in a city while Jonathan preferred working in the town where he lives. But with so much fan speculation, it’s natural that they’re both frustrated that they haven’t told the “whole story,” so fans don’t know the truth. We hope that they find a way to move on emotionally from their marriage, now that the paperwork is out of the way. Congrats to Jonathan on his gorgeous new girlfriend!

Kody Brown, Sister Wives Face Further Financial Frustration

Kody Brown and his four sister wives thought they’d found paradise when they decided to move the whole family to Flagstaff, Arizona . But paradise came with its share of troubles. In addition to the usual drama and fueds, the polygamous family has struggled financially ever since the move. The struggle got even more intense this month, as even more interest piles up on the Browns’ unpaid property taxes. Last year, Kody spent $820,000 on a 15-acre plot of land in Flagstaff.  This is a huge amount of space, even if you do have four wives and 18 children. The property is divided into four parcels, each requiring separate payments. Arizona law forbids polygamous co-habitation. Because of this, the plan was to build several houses on the property.  This way the family could keep each other close and hopefully avoid breaking that pesky law. But, as a  Radar Online report reveals, the plan has encountered major setbacks. A year later, the Browns have yet to break ground on a single house, and they still owe property taxes that were due in December. According to  Radar Online , tax payments are only past due on two of the four plots. Kody, Christine and Robyn own one plot together, and initially failed to pay the amount of $2,063.70. After the latest round of interest, they now owe $2,201.28 The second plot is co-owned by Kody (again), Janelle and Meri. They originally owed $1,990.82, but now that’s increased to $2,123.54,  Radar Online reports. That’s a total of $4,324.82 just to get caught up on taxes. And obviously, it’s going to cost a lot more than that to build multiple houses for the Browns’ enormous family. To make matters worse,  Radar Online now claims that the family hasn’t received any payment for Christine Brown’s former house in Las Vegas. Prior reports seemed to indicate the family had found a buyer, but the house is still listed on the market for the lowest price yet, $574,990. Meri’s Las Vegas house also failed to sell, even after multiple price cuts. Ultimately, it was taken off the market. That must be disappointing for the Browns, who were counting on adding another half a million dollars to their housing budget in Arizona. But we have a hunch that Meri might find having a back-up house useful when she finally decides she’s had enough of Kody and the other wives. Over the past year, it’s been rumored, and even apparent on the show, that Meri isn’t feeling the love anymore. Fans believes that she  may leave the flock . Meanwhile, the many stars of Sister Wives are paying rent on no fewer than four separate dwellings  and  a commercial building in Flagstaff.  That’s an incredibly expensive feat for a family that’s already pressed for funds.  (Moving isn’t cheap, folks) It all makes one wonder if perhaps this move wasn’t very thoroughly thought out.  But the news isn’t all bad. A new season of Sister Wives has begun filming, which means more money is on the way for the Brown family.  Will it be enough to square up the taxes, build several homes and feed 18 children? Will the whole family even stick around to find out? It’s too early to say, but it’s clear that Kody and the Sister Wives may have bitten off more than they can chew.

Ariana Grande Tears Up On Stage, Fuels Rumors of "Breakdown" Over Mac Miller

It’s been nine months since Mac Miller tragically passed away at the age of 26 following a fatal overdose. Though a highly acclaimed musician in his own right, outside of the hip hop community, Miller was likely best known for his relationship with Ariana Grande. Though they had broken up several months prior to his death, Miller’s passing was, by all accounts, a devastating blow for Grande. She’s publicly paid tribute to the late rapper several times, most famously in the lyrics to her hit single ” Thank U, Next .” On Wednesday night, Ariana sang the song live in Mac’s hometown of Pittsburgh. It was her first time doing so, and the performance clearly took quite an emotional toll: Ariana Grande “Breaks Down” Over Mac Miller As you can see in the clip above, Ari got choked up and was unable to complete the line “wish I could say, ‘Thank you’ to Malcolm” (Miller’s real first name). The crowd quickly realized what was happening and cheered in encouragement. Ari’s backup singers filled in until she was unable to continue the song with her inimitable light soprano voice. Fans in attendance say Grande was also overcome with emotion while performing the night’s opening number “Raindrops (An Angel Cried).” An empty seat was reserved for Mac toward the front of the stage and prior to Ariana’s performance, a medley of his greatest hits was pumped through the speakers of the PPG Paint Arena. It makes sense that Mac’s passing would be such a sensitive subject for Grande — but apparently, members of her inner circle have become concerned by her recent displays of emotion. “Of course her family is worried,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online. “She has so many things on her plate and she has been trying to juggle everything while trying to also have some semblance of a personal life,” the insider adds. “Ariana has been so hot and cold lately and no one knows which version of her they are going to get and right now she is more unpredictable than ever.” Sounds like a difficult time for the beloved pop icon — but given how much she’s been through in the past, we’re sure she’ll make it through. Our thoughts are with Mac’s loved ones as they continue to mourn the passing of a once-in-a-generation talent.

Jordan Cameron Identified as Elin Nordegren Boyfriend, Luckiest Man Alive

Jordan Cameron caught 173 passes over the course of a six-year NFL career. But even though 14 of this receptions went for touchdowns, it’s very clear at this point that Cameron recently made the best catch of his life… … when he nabbed Elin Nordegren! Indeed: Cameron, who played four seasons for Cleveland and two seasons for Miami, has been identified not just as Nordegren’s boyfriend. But also as the father of her impending baby. Radar Online broke this huge piece of news on Thursday, quoting a source who says Cameron and Tiger Woods’ ex-wife have been dating “for over a year.” Adds this insider: “They met through mutual friends in Florida.” Cameron even resides in Nordegren’s West Palm Beach mansion, having moved in to the beautiful abode earlier this year. So the romance is quite serious, as you might expect for two people having a child together. Nordegren is a Swedish former model and nanny who shares two children (a daughter named Sam and a son named Charlie) with the aforementioned iconic golfer. The blonde bombshell filed to divorce the horny athlete in 2010 after Tiger’s affairs with, like, 37 cocktail waitresses were exposed about a decade ago. No one knew she was dating Cameron, let alone expecting a baby with him, until Nordegren debuted her baby bump at her son’s flag football game on Friday, June 7. She was seen at this cute sporting event, cradling her stomach while she talked on the phone during the match. Cameron has a 10-year old son from a previous relationship… and also a connection to Kendall Jenner . The former tight end’s sister, Brynn Cameron, shares two kids with Blake Griffin, the Detroit Pistons power forward and All-Star. Last year, Brynn scored a massive child support victory over Griffin after claiming his relationship with Jenner helped destroy her relationship and her family. “Griffin had no problem trading Brynn Cameron, his former fiancee and the mother of his two children, for reality television star Kendall Jenner,” reads court documents from February of 2018. These papers also stated at the time: “Griffin cared more about the glamour of dating a Hollywood celebrity than the day-to-day responsibilities of being a father and family man.” In 2011, the basketball star also shouted out his “main man” Jordan in a YouTube video, calling him the “greatest tight end on the planet.” Cameron from the NFL in 2017 after he suffered a total of four concussions during his professional career. And while Woods has not yet commented on his ex-wife expecting another baby, he has said many times over the years that he and Nordegren are in a great place these days. “We have Sam and we have Charlie. … And we love them so much that we are going to [do] whatever it takes to make that work,” Woods told Stepen Colbert in 2016, concluding: “[Elin has] been one of my best friends and I’ve talked to her about so many different things and she does the same thing with me back and forth. We communicate so much better now, it’s incredible. “I wish we would have done that earlier on.”

Cassie: Pregnant with First Child… EVER!

Cassie has a new message for Diddy: Forget talking to my hand, dude! Go ahead and talk to my stomach! Or, to be more specific and to the point, talk to the tiny human growing in my stomach… because she isn’t yours and that’s awesome! Indeed, the singer/model has announced that she’s expecting her first child, just eight months after splitting from her long-time, very famous boyfriend. “Can’t wait to meet our baby girl,” the 32-year-old captioned a series of pictures on Instagram last night, all of which depicted her and Alex Fine in the car together. Added Cassie in this post: “Love You Always & Forever.” Cassie has an established career of her own, but she’s largely known for having dated Diddy off and on for about a decade. Their relationship didn’t end very well last fall, but Cassie has clearly moved on and excited about becoming a parent. And the same can be said for Fine, who shared a message titled “Letter to my Daughter” shortly after Cassie broke the couple’s gigantic news. “I will be the first man in your life and will show you the greatest love and affection now and forever,” Fine said to open this lengthy and emotional post. He included with it the following sweet photograph of himself and Cassie: Continued Fine, who works as a bull rider and personal trailer on Instagram: I never thought my heart could grow bigger after meeting your mother… then I found out we were having you and I instantly felt a love that is so indescribable. I promise to be at every dance recital, concert, sporting event, school plays whatever you decide to do I will be there and support you. I am your number one fan. I promise to be a man that you and your mother look up to and love. I will always listen and put the both of you first. I will show you a healthy relationship and how you deserve to be treated. I promise to never approve of any boy you like because they will never be good enough for my baby girl. Sorry. I can’t promise that I won’t embarrass you because I will give you so many kisses at every school drop off. I will be the Dad that never forces my opinions on you. I will love whatever you do in life as long as you’re happy. I promise that I will be kind, sweet, and you will always be daddy’s little girl. I promise to love you every single second unconditionally until my last breath. You’re perfect to me and always will be. Cassie and Fine went public with their relationship in December. They actually met because Diddy hired the latter to help train the former. Sources have said he was pissed when Cassie and Fine started dating. But others are pretty are psyched for them right now. “Congratulations Cass!” Khloé Kardashian commented on the reveal. “You’re going to be the best mommy!” Naomi Campbell added her support as well for the “Me & U” artist, writing: “YES! PROUD OF YOU SIS.” We wish Cassie a very happy and healthy pregnant.

Jordan Craig: Tristan Thompson BRIBED Me … to Stay Single!

How much would you pay to make sure your ex stays single? Whatever the amount, Tristan Thompson probably has you beat.   A steady drip of details from recently-revealed court documents are reinforcing what we all kind of knew about Khloe Kardashian’s ex: Tristan is a total deadbeat dad . The same documents are now alleging that Tristan paid ex-girlfriend and baby mama Jordan Craig over $100,000 not to date other men. This is some wildly hypocritical behavior, as Tristan was already dating Khloe when this alleged transaction went down. The court documents show that the 28-year old NBA player was locked in a child support battle with Jordan, 27, earlier this year.  RadarOnline reports that during her deposition on January 31, Jordan claimed Tristan paid her $112,000 in November of 2017. “That was part of a bribe,” Jordan stated, when asked why Tristan gave her the money. When asked to clarify, Jordan added, “He would help me if I wasn’t like, dating anybody or talking to anybody, and that I would have to come see him.” It’s not unusual for vast sums of money to change hands when celebrities split up, especially when the couple shared a child together. But bribing your ex in order to control their dating life is a total creep move.  After all, Tristan was already hooking up with Khloe Kardashian, and whoever else he wanted. Tristan cheated on Jordan with Khloe back in 2016, which came to light just after Jordan became pregnant with Prince. The revelation was a bombshell for Jordan. After all, Tristan had pushed so hard to start a family with Jordan despite their fertility issues. The stress of the betryal, and its intense media coverage, caused complications with the pregnancy and forced Jordan into bed rest for her health. Thankfully, Prince was born in good health in December 2016. But Khloe should have seen Tristan’s capricious desertion for the red flag that it was. Just two years later, Tristan famously pulled the same stunt again with her. This time, Tristan was caught cheating just days before Khloe gave birth to their daughter True in 2018. Khloe tried to make the relationship work for the family’s sake, but finally left Tristan in February when he hooked up with her sister’s friend Jordyn Woods. After Prince was born, Tristan said he wanted to stay close with Jordan for the sake of their son. According to her affidavit, he even made an effort for the first few months. But, as Jordan wrote: “He eventually made it clear that he did not want me to ‘see’ or date anyone. I could not agree to this.” As a result, Jordan wrote that “He became completely absent in Tristan’s life.” Tristan disputes this of course, stating in his own deposition that he never said she couldn’t date anyone, per se. “If [she’s] a single woman,” he clarified, “I wanted to request her not to have random men around my child.” Yes Tristan, we’re all sure you’re very concerned about your child that you’ve only seen nine times since he was born. It seems Jordan didn’t intend to go celibate, even though she took the money. According to Radar Online , she only accepted the bribe because she needed help taking care of her family.  View Slideshow: Tristan Thompson: CAUGHT with Two New Women! Jordan and Prince moved to a new house in Los Angeles in 2017, which has to be expensive for a single mother.  She used some of the money to help pay back her mother and sister, who helped finance the new home.  Jordan also spent $20,000 installing a pool for Prince, and another $16,000 remodeling his room to look like a castle. Extravagant, yes. Adorable? Also yes. But why not, right? When your cheating celebrity baby daddy is making NBA money, you can go big  and go home.

Jenelle Evans: Sure, I Lost My Kids, But Life on The Land Is Still AWESOME!

In many cases, the ability to smile in the face of hardship is a valuable virtue. But in some cases — say, at a funeral, or when you've recently lost custody of your kids — it pays to demonstrate appropriate solemnity. That's why so many are side-eyeing the f–k out of Jenelle Evans this week. As you've likely heard by now, Jenelle has lost custody of all of her kids following a CPS investigation. It's a situation that would bring most parents to the brink of insanity — but Jenelle seems happy and relaxed for, like, the first time ever. Does she have the exact opposite of the appropriate emotional response in every situation? It's certainly starting to look that way. Check it out: 1. Country Gal Jenelle assumes a new personality with each new relationship, and ever since she began dating David Eason, she’s devoted herself to creating a down-home farmer girl facade. 2. The Rebranding Process Like just about every reality star these days, Jenelle is attempting to create her own lifestyle brand, and it’s directly linked to the “aw, shucks” homesteader image she adopted when she met David. 3. Priorities While she should be laser-focused on getting her kids back, Jenelle is instead producing lengthy YouTube videos in which she shows off her farming skills and attempts to create the impression that she’s already won her kids back. 4. Visual Torture Evans’ latest is over 21 minutes long (!!!) and it’s mostly just shots of animals scored to some generic acoustic guitar music. Fortunately, Jenelle uploaded this preview to Instagram that pretty much tells you all you need to know. 5. You’re Welcome Being the martyrs that we are, we watched the whole damn thing in order to update to on the latest developments in Jenelle’s tortured mind. 6. No Surprises Mostly, it’s just Jenelle attempting to impress fans with her ability to raise chickens. View Slideshow

Scott Disick & Sofia Richie: Babies On the Way?!

Against all odds, Scott Disick and Sofia Richie are still together . We’re not sure why that fact continues to surprise us, as it seems that everyone in the couple’s inner circle has come to terms with the massive age gap, as well as all of the other weirdness involved. (Although we’re sure Lionel Richie isn’t exactly dancing on the ceiling about it.) As Sofia and Sofia approach their two-year anniversary, many are beginning to wonder what’s next for the couple. Despite the fact that he never married the mother of his three children, it’s been rumored that Scott will propose soon. However, one insider recently shot those claims down: “Scott and Sofia have no plans to get married or engaged anytime soon,” a source tells Hollywood Life . “They’re both perfectly happy with where they are at in their relationship and are in no rush for anything.” Of course, that’s the short of boilerplate response that often precedes an engagement announcement. So perhaps it should come as no surprise that all the Scott and Sofia wedding talk has given way to an even wilder rumor. Sources close to the couple claim that Sofia has been spending a lot of time with Scott’s three children. And as a result, she’s come down with a major case of baby fever. The first part has been confirmed, as we know from her social media activity that Sofia spends a lot of time not only with Disick’s kids, but with their mom, as well. Photos of Kourtney Kardashian on vacation with Scott and Sofia shocked fans at first, but they’ve since become commonplace. As for that second part — the bit about Sofia chomping at the bit to start a family of her own — well, sources close to the 20-year-old say that’s not entirely true. “Things are great for them now,” says the insider. “Sofia isn’t even thinking about kids as she knows she’s really young. She loves Scott’s kids, but she jokes that she’s happy when she gets to hand them back [to Kourtney] and have her alone time with Scott.” The source adds that Scott’s not all that crazy about full-time parenting, either: “It’s honestly a nice balance for Scott, too. Scott and Sofia do love their alone time very much, and they love to just pick up food and hang in their backyard with friends alone,” says the insider. “Sofia knows she is not anywhere near ready for kids of her own or to be a mom, but she loves playing auntie to her friends’ kids without a doubt. “That’s enough for her right now.” Oh, good. It’s about time something worked out in Scott’s favor. Sarcasm aside, a second source says Scott and Sofia are certain of where their relationship is headed — they’re just in no hurry to get there: “Sofia and Scott have discussed marriage, but they have come to an agreement that it’s just not in the cards for them right now,” the insider claims. “Sofia is an extremely confident woman, and she has a lot on her plate, and right now just wants to focus on her career and enjoying spending time with Scott,” the tipster adds. “But she doesn’t need a wedding ring to feel complete and is very content with how things are in her relationship at the moment.” Sounds reasonable — although if we were Sofia we’d be a little concerned about a dude who’s that afraid of commitment and that fond of his “alone time.” View Slideshow: Scott Disick: Banging ALL of the Kardashians?!
