Matt Roloff Reacts to Little People, Big Baby News

A new little person in his world has given Matt Roloff a big reason to celebrate. On Sunday morning, following 41 weeks of labor, Audrey Roloff finally gave birth . As previously reported in exciting detail, she and Jeremy Roloff are now the parents of a little girl named Ember Jean. She weighed in at 7 lbs., 13 oz., and came into the world on at 9:40 a.m., for those curious about various key tidbits. With Audrey having been due way back on August 31, Little People, Big World fans across the globe were anxiously refreshing their Internet browsers every 15 minutes this weekend, hoping for an update. They initially received one when Amy Roloff announced the birth on Facebook, only to quickly delete her post. She likely jumped the confirmation gun after Audrey and Jeremy had agreed on a deal with Us Weekly that enabled that tabloid to break the baby news. But now it’s been broken! So Matt Roloff is free to gush over his second grandchild. “Oh my goodness. All is right in the world!! :))). Love love,” the reality star wrote as a caption on Facebook yesterday. It was a caption to a photo of his son, his daughter-in-law and their precious bundle of joy, as you can see here: SO SO SO ADORABLE! Audrey and Jeremy have also spoken out on becoming parents. “We are so thankful for this little life we’ve been blessed with and cannot wait to see all that she becomes,” they told Us Weekly, adding: “Labor is such a wild and miraculous process and meeting our baby girl for the first time filled us with uncontainable joy.” With Roloff going so far past her due date , fans had grown concerned over the state of her child. But little Ember was just taking her time, making sure she was good and ready to enter the universe. She’s believed to be fully healthy. “We are excited for the journey that lies ahead,” the couple days. “Welcome to our family Ember, may you be a glowing, fierce, and radiant light in this world.” With the addition of Ember, the Roloffs as a whole now have two tiny human beings at home. On May 12, Tori and Zach welcomed a son named Jackson Kyle, plastering their social media pages with cute pictures of the toddler ever since. We respect Audrey and Jeremy’s privacy and we want them to do whatever they please when it comes to little Ember. But if they want to share a new photo of her everyday, we won’t object! We’d love to be part of her journey. And we send our very best wishes to the brand new parents. View Slideshow: Little People, Big World Cast: Then vs. Now

Joseph Duggar & Kendra Caldwell: Excited to Finally … Side Hug?!

Well, the Duggars are officially back on television, which means courtships, weddings, and an ever-growing army of newborns. The latest to be granted permission to breed are Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell, who got married  just a few days in real life. On the show, however, Joe and Kendra are just beginning the courtship that will eventually lead them to the altar. Yes, that’s how quickly Joseph and Kendra’s courtship moved : The couple got married before the season depicting their courtship even began. As is customary in the Duggar fam, Joseph went all out with his courtship proposal . We’d call it a “court-posal,” but that sounds like a term an overly-romantic process server uses to describe delivering a subpoena. Anyway, Joseph and Kendra went to the concrete slab that marks the spot where the home he was born in formerly stood. The idea, as explained by Joe, is that he wants his new life with Kendra to begin on the very spot where his first life began. It’s a very romantic sentiment, but it’s somewhat marred by the fact that there’s no longer a structure standing on the premises, and Joe had to drag Kendra to a car auction first in order to maintain the element of surprise. Sadly, for all the thought that Joe put into his proposal, Duggar fans on social media were most interested in the scene in which he and Kendra revel in the fact that they’ll finally be permitted to have physical contact with one another. Yes, the young couple was downright giddy over the fact that they can now “side-hug,” and Twitter had a field day, because … well, that’s weird. If you follow the family closely, you’re probably aware that the Duggar courtship rules are extremely strict, and they prohibit all forms of contact before courtship. Once a couple is courting, they’re permitted to engage in side-hugs that last no longer than three seconds. Joseph and Kendra reiterated some of his families more bizarre policies, informing viewers that they would not hold hands or be alone together until after they’re married. Yes, the men and women of the Duggar clan often get married without ever having been alone with their spouse. In this case, the whole thing was made all the more surreal by the fact that Jedediah Duggar courted Kendra before she switched brothers and wound up with Joe. It’s a very strange situation … and it’s exactly the sort of thing we’ve come to expect from the Duggar clan. Watch Counting On online for more from reality TV’s most controversial family.

The Bachelor / The Bachelorette Couples: Who’s Still Together?

The Bachelor's 2017 season came to a close with Nick Viall and Vanessa Grimaldi engaged and totally, utterly, blissfully in love. Or something. Judging by the reaction of fans and Bachelor Nation members, their breakup would be immediate if not sooner. They turned out to be correct. Nick and Vanessa broke up Friday, August 25, after just five months. It turns out he was more into fame and didn't want to move to Canada. We know, who would've EVER seen that coming. At least Nick's latest breakup gave us The Bachelorette season starring Rachel Lindsay. This summer,  Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo got engaged , and while fans aren't hugely enthralled with him, they too seem in love. Will they be the new golden couple for the franchise, a la Trista and Ryan, Ashley and J.P., Jason and Molly and Desiree and Chris? Or another Juan Pablo and Nikki Ferrell, Andi Dorfman and Josh Murray, Chris Soules and Whitney Bischoff? Or … Nick and Vanessa? Sorry, too soon. The point is, we can't help but wonder as we ponder the future: Who is living happily ever after? Who is not? You don't need The Bachelor spoilers to tell you that the “made it” list is a lot shorter than the other, though there are exceptions. A final rose does not a future make. Perhaps Bryan and Rachel will surprise, but with this track record, and human nature in general? We're not betting on it. Just saying. Take a look at some notable duos from The Bachelor and Bachelorette and see whether they're still together since the show: 1. Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo are a match made in heaven … or are they? Bachelor Nation seemed to prefer runner-up Peter Kraus, but Rachel went with the smooth (too smooth for some fans’ liking) doctor from Miami at the last minute. If Bryan didn’t watch the finale, which centered primarily on Peter waffling over his willingness to propose and Rachel being hung up on him? Then they might be alright. 2. Nick Viall and Vanessa Grimaldi Look … we wished Nick Viall and Vanessa Grimaldi all the best. That was just the least inspiring public debut from a Bachelor couple since Juan Pablo and Nikki, and it never got much better before they eventually broke up. Come on, people. We were talking about Nick Viall, who was clearly bitten hard by the fame bug, and fell for a girl who didn’t want to be in the “business” or leave Canada, where he had no interest in moving. Just saying. The odds made them a definite underdog from the start, and their five-month relationship proved skeptics correct. 3. JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers are an interesting case, both seemingly over the moon in love and behind the proverbial eight ball since day one. They certainly seem to have weathered whatever storms have been in their path thus far, but it’s still in the “honeymoon” phase, and we can’t shake the feeling that there’s more to Aaron’s little brother than we know – or that JoJo does at this point. Chances they’ll make it to the altar? 50-50. 4. Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell It was a good year, closer to a year and a half actually, which is a long time for any relationship, and Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell recently called out what they deemed as “fake news” that said they had broken up … but they canceled their wedding and just admitted that they broke up. #realnews 5. Kaitlyn Bristowe and Shawn Booth Kaitlyn Bristowe and Shawn Booth have looked the part of the happy couple ever since they got engaged in August 2015. But will their engagement actually last and stand the test of time? The show’s track record suggests otherwise … but here we are a year and a half later, so the joke’s on us? 6. Chris Soules and Whitney Bischoff Chris Soules and Whitney Bischoff just got engaged on The Bachelor season finale in March 2015 … only to break up in May 2015! What seemed like the perfect fit turned out to be anything but. View Slideshow

Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell: Engaged!!

Right on the heels of news that Joy-Anna Duggar and Austin Forsyth married  after all comes another cause for celebration in Arkansas: Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell got engaged! The 22-year-old and his 18-year-old fiancee announced their courtship just a few months ago, and just made things even more official. When he proposed … at Joy-Anna Duggar’s wedding! People magazine was the first publication to confirm that he popped the question right after his little sister, 19, walked down the aisle. The pair, who met through their church, confirmed it. “We are super excited. It’s great to not be courting anymore, now we’re engaged!” Joseph Duggar and his beaming bride-to-be shared. “I’m so happy and so shocked. There’s so many words I want to say, but just shocked,” says Kendra, while Joseph revealed: “I was definitely nervous going into it, but I wasn’t afraid that she was going to say no, because she has said, ‘I’m just waiting on you!’” Not a lot of marriage proposals get turned down in Duggar Nation, it’s true. A courtship, after all, is basically a precursor to an engagement. When news of Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell courting first surfaced in March, few expected they would not get engaged soon. We just weren’t expecting quite this soon! “We are so excited to share the news with others that we are courting,” Joseph said then. “Our families are close friends through church.” “This has allowed Kendra and me to get to know each other. She’s the best!” Duggar added, and obviously, the feeling was quite mutual. “I’m looking forward to getting to spend more time with Joseph as we take this exciting step toward a new season in life,” Kendra added. “It’s a really wonderful moment!” Counting On Season 4, featuring Joy-Anna and Austin’s wedding, and Joseph asking Kendra’s dad’s permission to court, begins June 12. Not much of a spoiler to say that the scene teased in the Counting On Season 4 trailer ends up with a positive result for Joe in the end. As for talk that Joseph got Kendra Caldwell pregnant before marriage and that’s why this is being fast-tracked even by Duggar standards? It makes for great gossip … but that’s likely all it is. The Duggars stick to their guns when it comes to their dating and courtship rules. Much as we’d all love a great rebellion story along those lines, we’ll have to be content with mini-scandals like  Jinger wearing shorts .  Probably for the best. View Slideshow: 16 Disturbing Things BANNED By the Duggar Family At this stage, we still know relatively little about the next Duggar in-law, but as you might expect, she comes from a similar background. Kendra and her sister Lauren both captured the attention of Counting On fans during Jinger Duggar’s wedding episode last season. The sisters, along with Joy-Anna’s now-husband Austin Forsyth, all helped assemble a large “V” made out of roses for that wedding. When that installment aired on TLC, the prevailing wisdom among the fans who watch Counting On online was exactly this scenario: Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell were secretly courting, or getting to know each other in anticipation of that very strong possibility. As for part two of the dual-Caldwell courting rumor?  View Slideshow: Duggar Family Photos: Then & Now! Either Jedidiah or Jeremiah Duggar is rumored to be interested in Lauren, though it remains unclear at press time if that’s legitimate. Regardless … congrats Joseph and Kendra!!

Duggar Family Photos: Then & Now!

It's been a long road for the Duggar clan from Tontitown, Arkansas. Over the past decade, we've watched Jim Bob, Michelle and kids go from the stars of a limited-run TLC documentary series to one of the most famous families in the history of reality TV. During that time, the family expanded (There was a time when they were a scant 16 kids and counting!) and endured some incredibly dark times. (The Josh Duggar sex scandals will rightfully never be forgotten.) Not surprisingly, the Duggars have changed as individuals as much as they've changed as a family since gaining fame. Check out the slideshow below for a trip down memory lane, and as always, you can watch Counting On online at TV Fanatic to get up to speed on what the Duggars are up to these days. 1. The Duggars in 2004 We guess khaki was really in that year. As for Michelle’s hair? There’s no explaining that. 2. Duggars in 2014 The Duggar family just a few short years ago. Much has changed, but some things never will. (Michelle’s hair still defies all logic.) 3. Michelle and Jim Bob: 2004 Michelle and Jim Bob back in the early days of them having way, way too many kids. Don’t worry, they went on to have many more. 4. Jim Bob and Michelle Today Jim Bob and Michelle have a slightly less atrocious fashion sense these days. Sadly, they’re 5. Josh and Anna Duggar on Their Wedding Day Josh and Anna in 2008. Things haven’t worked out all that well for these two. 6. Josh and Anna Today Somehow still married after YEARS of scandal! View Slideshow
