At this point, it's been so long since Jenelle Evans and David Eason's kids were removed from their home, the couple is probably struggling to remember what raising children was actually like. But if they ever want a reminder, they need look no further than Nathan Griffith's social media pages. Griffith, of course, is the father of Jenelle's youngest son, Kaiser. Now, he has full custody of Kai for the first time, and it seems he's loving every second of it. It also looks as though Griffith is having fun demonstrating to the Easons what real parenting looks like. Take a look: 1. Nate & Kai Kaiser seems happier than ever now that he’s living with Nathan. And Nate seems pretty darn ecstatic, as well. 2. A Loving Home In addition to Nathan, Kaiser is currently being looked after by Griffith’s mother Doris and fiancee Ashley Lanhardt. 3. Paying Tribute On Father’s Day, Lanhardt gave a major shout-out to Nate in a heartfelt Twitter post. 4. Dad Vibes “Happy Father’s Day to this special man,” she wrote. Thank you for being such an amazing daddy to the kids & our fur babies!!! We love you.” 5. Nate With Kai In her photo collage, Ashley made sure to include a photo of Nathan spending time with Kai — a right that Griffith has had to fight for much of the boy’s life. 6. Mission Accomplished Clearly, Ashley’s intention was to make Nathan realize how loved he is within their young family — and it seems she did exactly that. View Slideshow
Catelynn Lowell is in a pretty amazing place in her life right now. After a few hiccups, her marriage to Tyler appears to be in a great place — and the couple just welcomed another child into the world a few months ago. Her name is Vaeda . And she is pretty much perfect. But it wasn't all that long ago that things were a lot worse for the veteran Teen Mom OG star. How much worse? She once considered suicide . What was going through her mind at the time? Where does she stand now? Scroll down for the latest, very raw and very candid thoughts from Catelyn… 1. A Quick and Sad Refresher Catelynn and Tyler suffered one of the worst tragedies possible in late 2017. They lost a child due to a miscarriage. 2. Catelynn Didn’t Handle It Well We mean, no mother handles such an awful situation well. But this reality star had been battling mental health issues even before the miscarriage, checking into a rehab facility in November of 2017. 3. She Was Honest About Why, Too “Well today I thought of every way to kill myself.. so I’m going to treatment #makeChesterProud @TalindaB #KeepTalkingMH #thiswontlast,” Catelynn tweeted right after making that decision. 4. She Really Was in Trouble As maybe you noticed in that Tweet, Catelynn tagged the wife of late Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington… and Bennington took his own life in July of 2017 at the age of 41. 5. Has Catelynn Opened Up About This Low Point Before? Yes. She spoke on air to Dr. Drew about it in April 2018, admitting at the time of her thought process: “If I don’t go somewhere else today, I’m going to off myself and life would be 10 times better.” 6. Added Catelynn in This Interview: “I could picture myself driving into an electrical pole off the road, praying it would kill me. But I wouldn’t do it because I had my kid in the backseat.” View Slideshow
If you only know one thing about Jana Duggar, it’s probably that she’s unmarried. That wouldn’t be a big deal for most 29-year-olds, but the fact that Jana is still single just a few months shy of 30 is highly unusual for a woman in her community. Duggar women are taught from a young age that procreation is one of their two main reasons for being. (The other being religious devotion, of course.) Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are devotees of the Quiverfull movement and its disgraced founder, Bill Gothard . Gothard teaches that it’s the job of every Christian to produce as many offspring as possible with the goal of eventually overwhelming the rest of the population and creating a Christian planet. As a result, within the Duggars’ community, there’s a tendency to look at a woman who’s “squandered” so many child-bearing years with curiosity … or even contempt. Even Jim Bob has stated that he can’t understand why Jana hasn’t found the right guy . We’re sure he meant to be sympathetic, but knowing that you’re a source of constant befuddlement to your own family has got to be a pretty lonely feeling. Anyway, in spite of the subtle shade and the fact that she’s basically treated like a household slave , Jana still thinks her dad is the best thing since floor-length denim skirts, and she reminded the world of her love for Jim Bob in a recent Instagram post. “Happy Father’s Day to the most wonderful Dad in the whole WORLD!” began Jana’s lengthy caption for the photo above: “My Dad is the one who has taught me so many skills—from tiling floors, basic plumbing & electrical, painting, and car maintenance, to how to get the best deals. He taught me how to drive, helped me buy my first car, and has let me try my hand at design on his different real estate projects… even if it means spending a little more time and money to correct something I’ve messed up on (sometimes we learn by trial and error). “Dad has taught me so much as we work on different projects! Whether it’s designing a home or business space, picking out paint colors, flooring, windows or doors, he’s the mastermind, and I love learning from him and doing projects together with him!!” If you thought Jana was done, you’ve got another thing coming: “Dad is a giver. Always giving of his own goods and supplies without expecting anything in return,” Jana continued. “He’s the first one to start a party no matter the occasion.” (Editor’s note: We never really pictured Jim Bob as a party guy, but hey — life is full of surprises!) “He’s the one that pushes us out of our ‘comfort zone’ (for which I am grateful…. at times.) We all need one of those people in our lives!” Jana continued. “He is quick to ask for forgiveness. He is a humble man. A man of patience, kindness, compassion, determination, strong. He is the one that leads our family and points us to Christ no matter the circumstance. “He’s my Daddy and I’m his little girl. Couldn’t have prayed for a better Dad and can only hope to find a man like him to marry someday!!” “Daddy—Happy Father’s Day from your little girl! I love you so much!” she concluded. All of it is very nice, and we applaud Jana for laying her feeling out there so candidly in this age of irony. But everything the Duggars do gets scrutinized and dissected within an inch of its life, so even though Jana couldn’t have made herself any more clear, dozens of followers still zeroed in on the one line about possibly getting married someday. “I am in tears,” wrote one such fan. “What wonderful things to say in honor of your dad. I have no doubt God will bless you with a Godly man like your dad. Just thank God for that future husband of yours.” We suppose Jana sort of invited the speculation by alluding to the fact that she’s still single. Still, the obsession with this twentysomething’s marital status will never not be weird to us. Here’s hoping she’s not as hung up on when and if she’ll get married as her followers seem to be. Come to think of it, it doesn’t seem possible that she could be. View Slideshow: Jana Duggar FINALLY Addresses Lesbian Affair, Courtship Rumors!
Earlier this month, we reported on the sad news that Mary Duggar had passed away at the age of 78. Given her advanced age, it was widely assumed that the mother of Jim Bob had died of natural causes — but that later proved not to be the case. We now know that Mary Duggar drowned , and the exact circumstances of her accidental death remain unclear. No foul play is suspected, and the Duggars have every right to keep the details of their loved one’s passing to themselves. But given how publicly members of the famous family have lived their lives over the past 20 years, it stands to reason that some fans would be surprised by what seems to be a joint decision to keep the specifics of Mary’s fatal accident under wraps. Fortunately, the Duggars haven’t shied away from talking about Mary’s life, just her death. Jill Duggar was the first to pay tribute to her late grandmother. And while Jill’s eulogy to Mary created controversy due to her decision to monetize the post, the situation did not prevent other Duggars from following suit. The latest to honor Mary’s memory on social media is Anna Duggar. Anna posted a video of her grandmother-in-law interacting with her daughter Merideth: Anna Duggar Pays Tribute to Mary Duggar “As I’ve talked with my children this week about their special memories of Great-Grandma, Meredith said she was going to miss singing for Grandma,” Anna captioned the post. “Dithy has such a special love with Great-Grandma as she always enjoyed time with her and singing for her—Great-Grandma would give undivided attention and was her biggest fan!” she continued. “Somehow Grandma kept up with each of us and always took the time to make each birthday, recital, baby shower or any other event (and all the “uneventful” days in between) special—she mastered the rare art of consistent praise! She lived well, loved much and is greatly missed.” A touching tribute, to be sure — but some fans remained fixated on the mysteries surrounding Mary’s passing. “How did she accidentally drown?” one follower asked, point-blank. Not surprisingly, Anna never replied to the comment. We get the feeling the Duggars will continue to present a united front on this one. And unfortunately, we also get the feeling that fans will continue to pry into the matter. View Slideshow: Josh & Anna Duggar Expecting Again: Their Bizarre Journey to Baby #6
Reality TV fame is more lucrative than ever. It used to be that the stars of popular series enjoyed their 15 minutes of fame and then returned to obscurity — which probably meant returning to a 9 to 5 gig. These days, however, shows run longer than ever, and the most popular cast members amass millions of social media followers. This opens up a whole new revenue stream, as sponsored content on Instagram can yield big bucks for certain stars. No one has proven more adept at capitalizing on reality fame than Kailyn Lowry, and now, the longtime Teen Mom 2 staple is defending her turf against what she sees as a greedy newcomer. Take a look: 1. Cash Queen All of the stars of the Teen Mom franchise have capitalized on secondary income sources, but no one has done so as effectively as Kail. 2. Many Hats In addition to being a mother of three and a reality star, Kail is a bestselling author, a beauty mogul, and a podcast host. 3. Going Off On the latest episode of her popular Coffee Convos podcast, Kail went off on Lauren Comeau, the current girlfriend of her ex-husband, Javi Marroquin. 4. Change of Heart Lauren initially indicated that she would not be appearing on Teen Mom 2, but she has since filmed scenes for several episodes. 5. Staying the Course Like her TM2 predecessors, Lauren has amassed a huge following on Instagram, and she’s now cashing in on her popularity by posting sponsored content. 6. Taking Issue Lauren’s side hustle probably shouldn’t come as much of a surprise to Kail, who’s been doing the same thing for years. But it seems Lowry believes there are some major differences between her situation on Comeau’s. View Slideshow
Sunday night's new 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? was a drama-filled doozy. The biggest item was, of course, Larissa getting arrested for the second time for “domestic violence.” Fans have been suspicious about this incident since it went down, and now viewers are getting to form their own opinions. Chantel's visit to Pedro continues to not go very well. Paola is, bless her, losing her entire mind during this pregnancy, and Ashley is spiraling (with good reason) over Jay's cheating scandal. The hardest part to watch of the whole episode had to be Elizabeth and Andrrei, who keeps getting worse as the season goes on. 1. Colt and Larissa This time, the drama takes a serious turn, as fans witness the aftermath of a major blowout between this toxic couple. 2. Coltee has bad news “Larissa was arrested … again,” Colt tells fans. To those of us who followed this story as it was breaking last November, this is old news, but it’s still interesting to see the side of it that never made it to social media or police reports. 3. So what happened? Larissa and Colt had an argument after Colt had allegedly knocked over things in the living room. Larissa locked herself in the bathroom, and when Colt deactivated her phone, it sent her into a panic and she begged fans on social media to contact Colt to tell him to reactivate her phone (she was terrified). She could still access social media to plead for help. Someone called the police. 4. And yes, she was arrested We know that sometimes, people think that reality shows stage arrests for drama. This really happened. 5. For what it’s worth, they made light of it just weeks later Yes, they shared this photo last November, AFTER Larissa’s arrest. 6. Debbie was absolutely horrified Debbie had managed to stretch that umbilical cord far enough to leave on a trip. When she returned, she found the house damaged and the general aftermath of her daughter-in-law’s arrest. Colt was playing the part of concerned husband, and Debbie was furious. View Slideshow
The following photo is too cute for words. But still. It’s our job to write many words about things and people within the world of celebrity gossip, so we’re gonna go ahead and give this a shot… In honor of the very first time he can celebrate Father’s Day for a personal and important reason, Prince Harry has gone ahead and shared a new picture of the person who has made this possible. We’re talking about the Royal Stud’s only child to date, of course, Archie. The latest member of Great Britain’s most famous family entered the world back on May 6 and, aside from one public outing two days later, has mostly been kept out of the spotlight ever since. Harry and polarizing wife Meghan Markle have been caring for the newborn away from London and all the cameras, onlookers, press, etc. over the past five weeks or so. But Harry took a break from this hiatus on Father’s Day. “Happy Father’s Day! And wishing a very special first Father’s Day to The Duke of Sussex,” reads the caption on Harry and Meghan’s official Instagram account to the image above. Really, does it get any more precious?!? The snapshot features young Archie’s tiny hand wrapped around the finger of his father. And while the bottm half of Archie’s face is covered up, this is actually the best look we’ve gotten so far of the brand new human’s eyes and head. Just over a month ago, meanwhile, Markle and Harry celebrated her very first Mother’s Day as an actual mother by also sending an emotional message to her fans around the world. They did so as a caption to another picture of their son. “Paying tribute to all mothers today — past, present, mothers-to-be, and those lost but forever remembered. We honor and celebrate each and every one of you,” the Royals wrote along with a picture that showed Meghan tenderly touching her son’s tiny feet at the time. This caption concluded: “Today is Mother’s Day in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Kenya, Japan, and several countries across Europe. “This is the first Mother’s Day for The Duchess of Sussex.” Harry is probably celebrating Father’s Day at the family’s cottage home in Windsor. From what he’s said in public so far, he seems to really be taking to parenthood. Just days after Archie’s birth on May 6, Harry told journalists: “It’s great. Parenting is amazing. It’s only been two and a half days, but we’re just so thrilled to have our own little bundle of joy. “[We look forward to spending] precious times with him as he slowly, slowly starts to grow up.” Enjoy it while you can, man. Time really does fly. View Slideshow: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Share Never-Before-Seen Wedding Pics on 1-Year Anniversary

It is, sadly and predictably, totally on again between Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna. The exes are back to arguing once again over two of the topics that often cause the most tension: Their daughter… and reality television. Late last week, Rob made it clear – through his attorney, Marty Singer – that the former couple’s two-year old daughter, Dream, would NOT be appearing on Chyna’s upcoming Zeus Network reality series. Due to her age, Dream would need the consent of both her parents to play any role on this program. And Rob refuses to give it. “Please be advised that The Zeus Network does not have Mr. Kardashian’s consent to Dream’s participation in or appearance on the Series or in any related marketing or promotional materials,” Singer said on his client’s behalf last Wednesday. It’s not too hard to understand why a parent wouldn’t want his toddler to be thrown in front of a television camera… … but try telling that to Blac Chyna. On Saturday, the mother of two shared a lengthy and scathing statement on social media in response to Rob’s stance when it comes to The Real Blac Chyna show. “As Executive Producer of my show, It is very unfortunate that Rob could not simply have an adult conversation with me ‘the mother of his child,’ Dream Kardashian appearing on my show ‘The Real Blac Chyna,’” she wrote online. Chyna explained that a significant part of her beef centered on just how Kardashian handled this issue. “Had Rob contacted me directly rather than through his attorney Marty Singer, Rob would have learned about Dream participation in the show,” she continued, adding that she “would never allow” Dream to be “subjected to long hours on the set.” Again, she reiterated, she is in charge of this series. The ex lovers — who co-starred on their own E! program back when they were engaged — agreed to joint custody in September of 2017 following an often contentious romance and that culminated with both side alleging abuse in separate lawsuits. They actually seemed to be getting along pretty well of late. Chyna even recently said some nice stuff about Rob as a dad. And as a sex partner . “I have the ability to control which scenes are included in the show,” Chyna added over the weekend, stating, for example, that Dream was NOT around during the publicized fight on her future show between herself and her mother. The reality star concluded her post by claiming Keeping Up with the Kardashians features Dream in episodes without Chyna’s consent. So, like, come on, dude! “I also would have pointed out to Rob the hypocrisy of his family’s insistence that Dream appear on Keeping Up with the Kardashians in the family’s desperate attempt to boost the dismal ratings for their stale and contrived show, without my approval,” Chyna said. She cited out a recent season 16 episode, which aired in May, that depicted Dream’s fairy-themed birthday party. “My show is about my life and my kids are a huge part of my life. “It’s really sad that everything I do to better myself or my family the same people have something to say to stop or hinder it,” she added.

Jordan Craig is in no way convinced by Khloe Kardashian’s recent statement. After reports began accusing Khloe of dating Tristan Thompson while he was still with his pregnant and at the time GF, Jordan, back in 2016 – the reality star finally put the stories to rest. But now Jordan is throwing the ball back in her court, saying Khloe’s timeline just doesn’t add up . This “you lose ’em how you get ’em” charade has been going on for far too long — does it really even matter?! Tristan Thompson sucks. The entire world knows that. But for some reason, people are now trying to pin the homewrecker title on to Khloe because in Jordan’s eyes she was the other woman. Both Khloe and Jordan have felt the pain caused by no good Tristan — so can’t they just move on and call it a day? Um, no. Khloe finally shared “her truth” this week after court documents Craig filed this past November (as part of her child support battle against Thompson) surfaced. The claims accused Khloe and Tristan of cheating and Jordan said her pregnancy became “one of the most popular gossip headlines.” She also argued that the drama caused her to have heatlth isses during her pregnancy . But Khloe wasn’t going to sit back and let her name tarnish, of course. “I’m disappointed that I even feel the need to post this but… I need to say my truth,” she began her explanation on her Instagram story. “My truth is: I met Tristan because HE CHOSE to go on a blind date with me.” She then explained how they went on a few dates and Tristan told her about his pregnant ex. “Obviously, I was reluctant about us continuing to date or start a relationship.” But Khloe, being the oh so clever woman that she is, checked with his inner circle and even his mother to double check that his relationship with Craig was over. “He showed me physical proof (correspondence between the two) and had me on calls with his lawyers to prove his point,” she shared. “His best friends, business associates and even his mother told me, him and his ex were broken up before we met.” Sounds like a lot of investigating for just a few dates — maybe she should have trusted her gut back in 2016? “This is my truth!” Khloe continued. She then went on to apologize for the entire situation and just in case Tristan and his inner circle did lie, she’s sorry. “Truthfully, from the deepest parts of my soul, I am sorry!” she wrote. “I’m sorry for any pain that has been created either way.” “No woman deserves to go through anything like this!” she added. But Jordan had 0 empathy. In fact, she found Khloe’s words completely shady. A source from Us Weekly confirmed that Jordan moved on from the cheating drama, but still questions Khloe’s motives. “Jordan does question the timing of Khloe’s very public timeline of events during that time,” said the source. “She insisted that she was unaware that Tristan had dumped her for Khloe,” said the source. “She would have just preferred that Khloe say nothing publicly.” Now that we have both sides on the table — can we just say how ironic it is that Tristan cheated (for the final time) on Khloe with a woman named Jordyn … It’s not important information — but kind of wild. We, of course, feel terrible for both parties involved, especially because both Khloe and Jordan can’t exactly cancel Tristan out of their lives for good. Considering he is a father to both Khloe’s daughter True and Jordan’s son Prince. What a mess. “Jordan really felt for Khloe when Tristan cheated on her,” the source adds. “But she should have realized it before.” We’re pretty sure Khloe is wishing she did too — but on a positive note, she wouldn’t have had True without Tristan.
