Larissa Lima Reveals the Grim Fate of Colt’s Ring

90 Day Fiance showed fans only part of how miserable Larissa Lima and Colt Johnson's relationship was. (Though viewers expect to see the horrors of their married life very soon, whenever 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? airs) These days, Larissa has a new boyfriend who's the polar opposite of Colt , but fans still have a question: Whatever became of Larissa's ring? Speaking to Us Weekly , Larissa and Colt both spoke about the fate of the diamond ring that Colt had given to Larissa. Larissa's revelation may be a shock to everyone — including Coltee. 1. Where is Larissa’s ring? Colt gave Larissa a diamond ring. They lived as husband and wife for (nearly) seven months. These days, the ring is nowhere to be found. 2. Did Colt keep it? Larissa says that Colt and Debbie packed up her things while she was behind bars — but that they kept a number of her belongings, right down to the wedding dress. 3. So, did Colt keep her ring? “I don’t have the ring,” Colt tells Us Weekly. 4. He is resigned to it being gone from his life “I don’t think I’ll ever get it back,” Colt admits. 5. Legally speaking, he’s right A cursory look through Nevada state law says that engagement rings are viewed as conditional gifts, and must be returned to the gift-giver if the condition (marriage) is not met (though some attorneys have tried creative arguments against this, that’s the law in Nevada). 6. But the “condition” was met Colt and Larissa got married. As far as we can tell (despite not being lawyers), Larissa is entitled to keep the ring forever. View Slideshow

Anna Duggar Begins Workout Regimen: Is She Getting In Shape to Leave Josh?!

As you probably know, life in the Duggar clan can be especially hard on women. And perhaps no female member of reality TV’s largest family has suffered as much as Anna Duggar. Anna, of course, is the beleaguered husband of Josh Duggar … at least for now. Yes, rumors of Josh and Anna getting divorced have been circulating for years, and it seems they’ve really gained steam in the past few months. The reasons for this are unclear, as divorce is strictly forbidden under the Duggars’ belief system, and it’s extremely unlikely that Anna would ever exile herself from her community by leaving Josh. Nevertheless, fans are taking everything Anna does these days as a sign that she’s getting ready to hit the road. It’s literally reached the point where the simple act of walking is being interpreted as an indication that Anna is preparing to ditch her philandering husband. Anna recently revealed that she accepted a challenge to walk 50 miles in the month of February. Not only did she meet her goal, she exceeded it — and as you can see, she’s ready to get her march on in March. “#February50 ended up being February55! Now on to March – hoping to go another 50 miles!” Anna captioned the above screenshot. Like we said, a handful of fans took a sudden interest in fitness as a sign that Anna is preparing to re-enter the singles scene. And while we can relate to that wishful thinking, it’s almost certainly not happening. Fortunately, most followers were content to simply congratulate Anna on her progress. “Good for you Anna! Be healthy for you and your family! Blessings!” one fan wrote.  “Fabulous determination. You are a strong woman. You are setting a great example for your children,” remarked another commenter. As for Anna’s inspiration to shed some pounds, it apparently had nothing to do with Josh Duggar’s sex scandals . But it was nonetheless the result of a pretty ugly incident. Late last year, fans speculated that Anna was pregnant, and the reality star sheepishly replied that she’s simply “overdue for a diet.” The exchange reportedly prompted her to get active and start paying more attention to what she eats. C’mon, people. Anna is already married to a Duggar! Let’s not make her life even more difficult, mmm-kay?

Joseph and Kendra Duggar Debut on Instagram, Share Unexpected Baby Photo

If you can’t beat them, Joseph and Kendra Duggar figure that the saying really does apply: They might as well join them. A couple months after a photo of Joseph and Kendra’s son leaked online , the young couple has decided to control its own narrative by opening up an Instagram account… … and sharing their very own photo of eight-month old Garrett.  “We finally decided to get social media! Still trying figure out how it works,” the couple wrote as a caption to the adorable snapshot below, adding: “Looking forward to keeping y’all updated on our little family.” For the record, it’s a joint account, shared by both husband and wife. Little Garrett (who is just SO gosh darn cute, starting up at us while dressed in his blue onesie here) was born to Kendra and Joseph last June. Most members of the Duggars pretty quickly jump online to share a video and/or many images of their newborn sons or daughter, but Kendra and Joseph decided against those moves for whatever reason. But they did seem pretty psyched about the addition, who arrived so soon after these two got married that a few questions were raised. The main one being: Did Kendra get pregnant before the wedding ?!? Anyway, though. Back to Kendra and Joseph’s reaction to Garrett entering the world last summer. “No matter how many times we’ve experienced the joy of babies born in our families, there’s nothing comparable to the joy in our hearts today!” they told Us Weekly, adding at the time: “Children truly are a gift from God. We are so thankful for his safe arrival and this new journey as parents.”  We’ll never know, of course, whether Joseph and Kendra violated the most sacred Duggar courting rule of all and had intercourse before becoming husband and wife… … but we aren’t about to judge them for it, either. Most of Joseph’s brothers and sisters, meanwhile, opened an Instagram account as soon as they started courting. We don’t know what took this pair so long to do so, but we’re psyched to see all the precious images of Garrett likely to come. A mere 15 hours after the couple joined this service, they already gobbled up 135,000 followers. That said, they have a looooooong way to go until they’re the most popular social media members within the Duggar universe. Just consider: Jessa Seewald has a whopping two million followers, while her sister Jill has 1.6 million and Jinger has around one million. Strangers on the Internet are clearly pumped that Joseph and Kendra have now joined the fray. “Garrett is so adorable!! Can’t wait to see updates on your little family!” said one fan, while another wrote: “Welcome! I love following the Duggar family! You guys inspire me so much!” And then there was this from Joy-Anna: “Welcome, Joe, Kendra, & Garrett!” And this from John-David: “Welcome to Instagram Joe and Kendra!” For a look back at Joseph and Kendra’s wedding, click below!

Ben Higgins FINALLY Goes Public With Girlfriend Jessica Clarke!

Ben Higgins is finally sharing his secret girlfriend with the world !  Not like we have been anxiously waiting… The Bachelor fan favorite took to social media on Wednesday afternoon to make his relationship with Jessica Clarke Instagram official. “I’ve been selfishly keeping this to myself for too long! Hey friends meet @jessclarke_!” Ben wrote to his 1.3 million followers.  “I successfully slide into her DM’s a few months ago. I took a risk and I am glad I did. She is someone special, and I look forward to where life is going to take us.” The former reality star continued, “Stay tuned for the journey. In addition, this picture was taken this week in Honduras. I got to spend some time with an incredible group of people from all over the USA on a @generous_coffee_adventure. Life is good!”  “This is the most fantastic, heartwarming thing! I’m so happy for you!!!” Ashely Laconetti shared in the comments section. Wells Adams also added, “#HottyToddy.” Not only is he Instagram official with the new girl, but he also travels overseas with her?! We can expect a proposal any day now.  In this week’s episode of Ben’s iHeartRadio podcast, his co-host Ashley announced that Jessica will be a guest on the Almost Famous show this coming Monday.  Back in January, Ben first revealed on his podcast that he had been dating someone and that they are currently long distance.  He successfully kept her identity a secret, as did his loyal friends.  But they did let us in on how happy he was.  “Everybody is buzzing about this. No [I haven’t met her], but I know that they’ve been going back and forth on flights to see each other over the past couple of months,” Ashley revealed to E! News at OK! Magazine’s Pre-Grammys party.  This is Ben’s first love interest since  his split from Lauren Bushnell .  The two got engaged on the season 20 finale of The Bachelor in 2016, yet never went through with the wedding .  “He definitely seems very happy.”  But who even is this brunette beauty who has stolen Ben’s heart?  Here is everything we have learned about Jessica:  1. No, she has nothing to do with The Bachelor franchise.  2. She graduated from The University of Mississippi with a Bachelor’s Degree in Integrated Marketing and Communications in May. “My time at Ole Miss taught me that I have no control over my life and man am I thankful for that!” she captioned her graduation pic. “It wasn’t what I expected, but was far better. Thanks for my best friends.”  3. She has two attractive brothers.  “Last game day as a Landshark and I got BOTH of my brothers with me in my favorite place, best day ever…hotty toddy,” she captioned another Instagram post.  4. Jessica also appears to have a Maltipoo named Penny.  And though being a dog mom and having a college degree isn’t too unusual for girls today, she does run marathons.   Pretty impressive.  5. She also was a college athlete and ran track and cross country at Ole Miss.  The 23-year-old posted a photo after completing the Rock ‘n’ Roll Nashville Marathon in 2017. “Came out of retirement for my city,” she wrote beside the photo.  6. And as for work? Well, she sells LED lighting for a living. She works at Valet Energy in Nashville and has been the Key Account Manager for several months.  And when it came time for Jessica’s reveal, she kept it sweet and simple.  “My secret boyfriend, Ben!” she shared.  “He has one of the biggest hearts and kindest spirits, I got to share Honduras with him this past week and I’m excited for many more adventures!” Ok, we admit they are too cute.  And if you want more, tune into The Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast on Monday for their first public “hello” to the world as an official couple!  View Slideshow: Lauren Bushnell: Ben Higgins’ Bachelor Bride-to-Be!

Karine Staehle: 90 Day Fiance Star’s Unborn Baby is Underweight

Earlier this month, 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days star Karine Staehle flaunted her massive baby bump . In a new post, however, she warns fans to not be fooled by the size of her pregnant belly. Her baby is actually underweight. Karine shared a new photo of herself with a flower crown filter, putting her prodigious baby bump on display. Her caption is in her native Portuguese, but we have translated the words for you. “My belly is not as big as it appears in the photo,” Karine’s caption begins. So this is one of those options-on-Instagram-may-be-smaller-than-they-appear situations. That happens on Tinder, too. “The baby is underweight,” Karina informs her followers. “And,” she admits. “It looks like I eat a lot.” Here is the photo. That looks like a huge pregnant belly … though we should of course remember the scale of things. Karine is a tiny, tiny woman. A “large” baby bump on her would look considerably smaller on a more statuesque woman. She also notes that she is only 35 weeks into her pregnancy. So her baby probably has over a month to grow to a healthy weight before she gives birth. When those five weeks are up, Paul and Karine are expecting a baby boy. They have already picked out a name for this little one: Pierre. After the couple’s two miscarriages, Pierre will be their little rainbow baby. Paul and Karine have come a long, long way since fans first saw them on 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days . Some of their biggest obstacles have been their own differences. After a long-distance courtship, Kentucky native Paul came to meet Karine in Brazil. Paul did not speak Portuguese. Karine did not speak English. They relied upon translator apps. There were more than just communication issues. Paul had some insecurities and displayed quirky behaviors, including that one time he slipped on a condom under his trunks before going for a swim. (Yes, candiru asu are real, but no, you do not need to wear a condom under your swimming trunks to keep one from tunneling up your dong) More seriously, he was found to have an alarming criminal record including arson. But Paul and Karine tied the knot on the second season of the 90 Day Fiance spin-off. Though they continued to fight, they settled into their relationship and marriage. Two miscarriages, back-to-back, was difficult for them. That would put a strain on any couple. Paul shared that the first miscarriage happened almost too quickly for them to notice. The second, however, put them in mourning. But with this rainbow baby on the way, they’re verye xcited to make this journey into parenthood together. Hopefully, Paul and Karine are prepared to be the best possible parents for baby Pierre. We’re rooting for some final fetal development over the next five weeks. Underweight babies can sometimes experience health complications. We want Pierre to have the best start in life that his parents can give him. But with five weeks to go, there’s probably no reason to worry. Different babies develop at different rates. View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance Couples: Are They Still Together?

Anna Duggar: SLAMMED For Letting Daughter Wear Makeup!

As the wife of the disgraced Josh Duggar, Anna Duggar has suffered considerably over the years. But there’s some disagreement among fans as to whether or not Anna is deserving of anyone’s sympathy. Some say Anna married a known child molester , proceeded to welcome five children with him, and is therefore complicit in creating a very dangerous situation. Others point to the fact that Josh cheated on Anna and argue that she’s been kept in the dark about the majority of her husband’s nefarious behavior. Whatever the case, the mother of five remains a controversial figure — but this week’s mini-scandal has nothing to do with her marriage. Anna posted the above photo to Instagram this week with a caption reading: “The little Aunts ‘helped’ Meredith with some makeup for a girl’s fun day! #littleduggars” So we assume that some of Josh’s youngest sisters applied the 3-year-old’s makeup. We also assume a Counting On spinoff entitled Little Duggars is headed our way, but we prefer not to think about that at the moment. As is often the case with this sort of situation, the whole thing seems innocent enough at first glance. And indeed, several members of Josh and Anna’s inner circle seemed to get a kick out of the pic. “Haha little attitude!” Jill Duggar commented. “A true ‘threenager,'” wrote longtime family friend (and possible girlfriend of Jana Duggar ) Laura DeMasie. Josiah Duggar’s wife, Lauren Swanson, who suffered a miscarriage in October, also chimed in commenting, “So cute! Love that kid!” Anna replied to Lauren’s comment, writing: “Love you Lauren! We are so blessed to have you in our family!” So it sounds like the post was pretty well-received, right? Well, unfortunately for Anna, there were quite a few naysayers in the comments, as well. For the most part, they were people who don’t seem to have any problem with young girls wearing makeup around the house as a joke. But they do have a problem with the hypocrisy they feel is on display here. “Ugh!! Seriously should not be putting makeup on your toddlers!” wrote one follower. “I agree with the comment above about Josh the molester! I can only imagine what he does to his own children while alone with them. Seriously how can you not have divorced this criminal and rapist Anna?!?” Normally, we’d encourage that person to lighten up. But the fact remains that Anna is married to a man who probably shouldn’t be allowed around children. View Slideshow: Anna Duggar: Did She Get Pregnant to Save Josh’s Career?!

Mike Sorrentino Reaches Out to Fellow Addicts in Emotional Video

It’s been five weeks since Mike Sorrentino reported to prison to begin serving an 8-month sentence on tax fraud charges. While Mike doesn’t deny that he’s guilty, his imprisonment is still a heartbreaking development for many, particularly given the ways in which he’s turned his life around over the course of the past two years. Fortunately, Mike recorded a wealth of video content before beginning his sentence, and his life, Lauren Pesce, is now releasing it gradually on the couple’s new YouTube channel, titled, of course, The Situations . The biggest of Mike’s many life changes has been putting his hard-partying past behind him. Sorrentino has been sober for almost three years, and admirably, he’s been using his experiences with addiction and recovery to help others beat their demons and step into the light. Mike Sorrentino: The Sober Situation In the video above, Mike opens up about his struggles and pays a holiday visit to a sober house. At the time the video was shot, Mike had already been sentenced and knew that he was just weeks away from beginning his sentence. So this wasn’t an attempt to butter up the sentencing judge — it’s just Mike trying to pay it forward as an expression of gratitude.  “I was known to be, ya know, one of the bigger partiers on Jersey Shore, so I had to think in my brain, ‘how was I going to contribute to the show if it even gets popular?’ You don’t even know if people are going to watch the show again,” Mike says about the recent Shore reboot. “So, I just said to myself ‘I’m going to have to continue to challenge myself in my recovery,’” he adds. “My base was two years sober, I had the sponsor, I had a good support system at home with my wife.” Asked about his plans for the future, Mike reveals that he’s not letting prison slow down his career momentum. “It’s all about mindset,” Mike says of his time behind bars. “I’m going to try to better myself by reading more, I’m going write a book.” He also reveals in the clip that a third season of Jersey Shore Family Vacation has already been filmed and will feature footage of his wedding to Lauren. “We’re so excited to have a second chance and we’re doing the most with it,” Sorrentino says at one point. Mike’s release date is currently set for September, but with good behavior, he could be bound for a halfway house in just 3-4 months. Something tells us the reformed Situation will have no trouble keeping his nose clean.

Meghan Markle to Father: Please Stop Bullying Me!

In the months since she married Prince Harry , Meghan Markle’s life has developed into a unique mix of fantasy and nightmare. She may have gone from actress on an obscure basic cable legal drama to international icon, but that transformation has come with a hefty emotional toll. Part of the problem is the British tabloid press, which has been benefited tremendously from publishing scathing headlines at Meghan’s expense. But what’s reportedly much more devastating to Meghan is the role that her awful family has played in spreading damaging secrets and lies in an effort to destroy her public image. Sources close to the Duchess of Sussex say she’s not terribly surprised that her half-sister, Samantha Markle, is attempting to cash in with constant slander, as the failed actress has been deeply envious of Meghan for her entire life. However, Meg is absolutely floored by her father’s decision to take part in Samantha’s relentless bullying campaign. According to new reports from multiple outlets, just prior to her wedding, Meghan penned a heartfelt letter to her father, in which she implored him to stop making disparaging comments to the press. “Dad, I’m so heartbroken. I love you. I have one father. Please stop victimizing me through the media so we can repair our relationship,” reads a portion of the letter, according to the Daily Mail . Earlier this week, five friends of Meghan’s spoke to People magazine and revealed that their objective in doing so was to “stand up against the global bullying” that she’s endured since entering the global spotlight.” They revealed that in response to his daughter’s letter Thomas Markle suggested that the two of them participate in a photoshoot.  “She feels like, ‘That’s the opposite of what I’m saying. I’m telling you I don’t want to communicate through the media, and you’re asking me to communicate through the media. Did you hear anything I said?'” said one of Meghan’s friends. “I think she will always feel genuinely devastated by what he has done,” remarked another. The consensus among the anonymous friend group is that Thomas and Samantha are intentionally causing harm to the Duchess’ public image — not to mention her psyche — with no regard for the fact that Meghan is currently pregnant with her first child. “We worry about what this is doing to her and the baby,” said one female associate. “It’s wrong to put anyone under this level of emotional trauma, let alone when they’re pregnant.” In response to Samantha Markle’s claims that Thomas has been unable to contact his daughter, the friends revealed that that’s simply not the case. “He knows how to get in touch with her,” remarked a former costar. “He’s never called; he’s never texted. It’s super painful because Meg was always so dutiful. And at the same time, because she’s a daughter, she has a lot of sympathy for him.” We guess that’s just one more lie for the woman who’s rightly earned the nickname Scammy Sammy.
