Tom Schwartz And Katie Maloney Settle Divorce

Many Vanderpump Rules fans were stunned by the news that the last “OG” couple standing, Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz, were ending their marriage. The couple wed in August of 2016 in an enchanted forest wedding while Bravo cameras rolled. Katie and Schwartz got married for a second time in Las Vegas in 2019. There was a snafu with the paper work, so their first wedding wasn’t legal. Oops!

Katie and Schwartz announced their split on Instagram. “After 12 years on an adventure through life together Tom and I are ending our marriage. This ending is not met with resentment or animosity, no sides to choose,” Katie posted. “Although we may be on different paths we will continue to love and support one another’s happiness.”

Schwartz reflected on the good times in their marriage in his Instagram post. “I’m telling you we had some of the most blissful, romantic, fun times humanely possible over the course of our relationship. I’m talking heaven on earth level joy,” he said.

Katie revealed that the duo had been fighting for months before they decided to end their marriage. Of course, one issue was that Schwartz never seemed to take Katie’s side. Duh! His character flaw played out in every season of Pump Rules. Last season, Schwartz sided with his business partner, Tom Sandoval, over his wife. In the end, Schwartz did accept responsibility for their breakup.

Katie filed for divorce on March 22, 2022. Page Six reported that the duo’s divorce has been settled. Court documents were filed on Sept. 26, 2022, in Los Angeles Superior Court. Katie requested that the court waive spousal support for both parties “forever.” According to the documents, Schwartz and Katie reached an agreement about how to split up their joint assets. Their divorce will be finalized when the judge signs off on their settlement documents.

While Katie and Schwartz’s split was amicable, a rumored hook-up between Schwartz and VPR cast member Raquel Leviss seems to have stirred up some drama. Raquel was fresh off her broken engagement to James Kennedy. When Scheana Shay finally tied the knot with Brock Davies, Raquel was a bridesmaid. Schwartz served as a groomsman during the nuptials in Mexico.

There were unconfirmed reports that Raquel and Schwartz hooked up during the wedding. Scheana couldn’t confirm whether or not it happened. She only saw the duo “talking.”

A production source claimed that “Raquel [Leviss] and Schwartz 100 percent hooked up during Scheana’s wedding.” Katie supposedly blamed Scheana for encouraging the duo to get together. We are talking about adults, people. Well, sort of.

Another insider at Scheana’s wedding claimed that Katie saw Raquel and Schwartz “heavily making out.” The source continued, “Katie went off and cameras were rolling on the entire thing. She was screaming at them, and they were yelling back.”

Season 10 of Pump Rules looks like it will have some interesting story lines after all. I’m here for it!

Married At First Sight Recap: -The Ugly Truth

Just when you thought Married At First Sight couldn’t have any more drama, this episode is released.  After everything that went on last week, I thought we may get a break. What the hell was I thinking? Let’s be honest most of these couples are realizing either they don’t like each other or there is something about their spouse that is concerning. At this point, I would be shocked if anyone decides to stay married. But given I am a fan of the show, I know it’s not over until it’s over. There is no telling what can happen in a short time. We will just have to sit on the edge of our seats until decision day.

The couples have one final chance to speak with the experts as Decision Day draws near. The experts help the couples confront truths.  One couple finds it difficult to continue on in the process.  But another couple is ready to go all in. Let’s get straight to the recap.

Morgan and Binh

Binh worries that he will disappoint his parents if he gets a divorce. His family is extremely religious and traditional and he fears his father would use this against him. Honestly, I’m over the Morgan show. I don’t need to hear her berate her husband or continue to whine about the same topic every episode. Insert side eye here. When Dr. Pepper asks Krysten if she feels her marriage is over, she responds that she wants a divorce. Binh agrees, but for different reasons. Based on his experience, he questions if he was truly ready for marriage. I feel bad for Binh, but this divorce is for the best.

During a group outing, Morgan and Binh reveal to everyone that they decided to get a divorce. She also takes the opportunity to throw a dig at Binh by saying she could never be friends with someone like him. In a post interview, Binh believes that she needs to let things go and forgive him in order for them to move on separately in a healthy way.

Krysten and Mitch

Krysten meets with Mitch‘s sister-in-law, Stephanie to express frustration about how he always wants to debate. Stephanie isn’t surprised because she experienced the same thing when first getting to know Mitch.  But she encourages Krysten to continue to voice her concerns. Later, Mitch and Krysten meet with Dr. Pepper Schwartz. Krysten brings up how she feels judged by her decisions when it comes to her husband’s stance on the environmental and societal issues. Honestly, it seems like no matter what she does, it will never be enough for him. He even challenges whether she truly is ready to be with someone who will always remind her of the consequences of her actions. Krysten is very honest and admits she doesn’t know if she can because of how much it affects her.

Mitch speaks to Krysten‘s sister about their marriage. While talking, he broaches a subject he has been too nervous to address with his wife. He explains he is most attracted to his wife when she looks more natural, without the makeup or straightened hair. He asks for advice on the best way to tell Krysten. Her sister is ready for this question and defends Krysten’s right to choose how she looks. She explains that women aren’t always presenting themselves for male attention, often times it how they feel most comfortable. She worries if Mitch mentions this; it will appear he doesn’t fully accept Krysten. This is especially important considering he initially saying he was not attracted to her.

Like a good sister, Stephanie warns Krysten about the conversation she had with Mitch. During a group outing, Alexis brings up his thoughts about his wife’s looks and questions if he is over that. Given that Krysten is already privy to the conversation with her sister, I wonder did she ask Alexis to bring up that topic. Initially Mitch says he doesn’t remember saying that, but eventually admits he wanted someone who looked earthier. Krysten goes off about how she deserves a man who is excited about her and isn’t constantly trying to change her when the experts try to minimize the weight of his comments. Amen, sister! Don’t let this man cause you to second guess your beauty and who you are as a person. If he isn’t your husband, there is another man out there. I was proud that she stood up for herself. Too often these experts encourage participants to overlook toxic behavior.

Lindy and Miguel

Lindy and Miguel enjoy a day of axe throwing, where she easily takes the win. Afterward she shares her concerns that something could happen that would destroy their relationship. Miguel admits that he isn’t the type of guy to make long term promises. He makes it clear that he isn’t going to stay in a loveless marriage, which only makes her worry more. It’s obvious Lindy wants reassurance that Mitch is quite comfortable giving her, despite them exchanging the L word.

Miguel meets with one of Lindy‘s friends to get more insight into his wife. Although her friend tries to highlight more of her positives, Miguel is still concerned about her being quick to be negative or angry. He reiterates that he isn’t going to stick around if those things become constant. Later, when this is addressed with Pastor Calvin Roberson, he recommends Lindy to scale back on those actions. She is always warning him about her temper, so I think that Miguel is beginning to see the signs that she may not be joking.

Alexis and Justin

Justin meets with Alexis’ friend Will to update him about their marriage. Clearly, things have been going downhill between the newlyweds over the last couple of weeks. Will encourages them to be patient because the way they got married. That could cause anyone extra stress and anxiety. While that may be true, I believe their personalities just may be too different. I’m not sure if they have enough time to completely turn things around.

Alexis and Justin meet with Devon Franklin to address their problems. Devon actually does a good job of helping them reflect and see things they can do to be the best reflection of themselves and their marriage. They both seem encouraged by his words, but I can’t help but to think it’s only a matter of time before things go back downhill.

 

Stacia and Nate

During a meeting with Stacia, Nate and Pastor Calvin she admits she told Nate she loves him. Although he hasn’t said it directly, he feels like he could go down that road if he lets go of the fear of getting hurt. But when Stacia reveals she cheated in a relationship 10 years ago, Nate expresses disappointment. Obviously, no one wants to feel judged after being honest about something that happened so long ago. But I guess Nate didn’t get that memo. Hopefully, this doesn’t affect her ability to feel safe to open up in the future.

Stacia meets with two of Nate‘s friends and worries when she learns he has never been in a serious relationship. She is unsure of how long it will take for him to fully open up or fall in love if he has never done those things before. If I am being honest, I would be concerned as well. To jump from no serious relationship to marriage is a big leap. Stacia admits to his friends she feels she is bearing the brunt of the relationship. Sigh! I don’t need to be a psychic to know that this is going to come up again in some way.

 

TELL US –ARE YOU SHOCKED THAT MORGAN AND BINH ASKED FOR A DIVORCE? IS MITCH TRYING TO CHANGE KRYSTEN INTO SOMEONE ELSE? SHOULD STACIA BE CONCERNED WITH NATE’S LACK OF RELATIONSHIP EXPERIENCE?

Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Season 12 Episode 20 Recap: Apology Not Accepted

Welcome back to the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills recap. Last week, Lisa Rinna told the world about Kathy Hilton’s epic meltdown at a private club in Aspen. Rinna took Kathy home in a sprinter van. According to Rinna, Kathy continued to rage, even when they were alone at Kyle Richards’ house.

But there weren’t any cameras at the club, or in the van, or at Kyle’s house. So, all we have is Rinna’s word for it. Could Rinna be targeting Kathy for a storyline? I think the truth is buried somewhere in the middle.

Erika Bares Her Soul

Erika Jayne shares her virtual visit with her therapist. Erika has been going to therapy for three years. Her therapist advises her to let go of the image of the husband that she believed that she had in Tom Girardi.

While Tom could be sweet, he could also be mean. Erika believes that her estranged husband didn’t believe that he had to follow the rules. “I want to believe that it got away from him, and not that he orchestrated it this way,” Erika stated. This is the most vulnerable that I have ever seen Erika. She admits that she is scared.

Pretty Messed Up

Erika hosts a fun Pretty Mess Hair pop-up shop for her friends and their stylists. The press is already asking questions about Kathy’s behavior in Aspen. Sutton Stracke shows up to support Erika because she wants Erika to succeed.

Dorit Kemsley tells Rinna that Kathy remembers exactly what happened in Aspen and that she is upset about the way she behaved. Rinna is pissed because Kathy tried to keep her from speaking out.

Kathy texted Rinna, “Please please do not say anything we discussed. Otherwise, it will make a huge scene that everyone gets dragged into. No bueano.” (Spelled incorrectly, as Rinna noted.)
Another text to Rinna read, “Please it goes further than you would want to know. Silence is golden. I am staying silent,” Kathy wrote with heart emojis.

Kathy also went on Instagram Live and denied that the Aspen incident happened. Rinna, once again, was annoyed.

Rinna and Dorit fill in the rest of the RHOBH ladies. Kathy became enraged at the club when the DJ refused to play “Billie Jean.” A manager told Kathy to go back to Los Angeles. Diana Jenkins tipped the manager $200 to keep it quiet.

Sheree Zampino mentions that Kathy was upset and agitated outside of Kemo Sabe earlier that day. Ding! Now Rinna realizes that she set off the meltdown by ordering Kendall Jenner’s tequila instead of Kathy’s brand.

While Rinna won’t tell the ladies exactly what Kathy said about them, she happily runs it down in her confessional. Kathy allegedly called Sutton and Crystal Kung Minkoff  “pieces of sh*t” and said they should be axed from the show. She supposedly called Dorit a “stupid, useless idiot.” Kathy was upset that she has to be around her co-stars.

Rinna has been sending Kathy prayers and blessings because she needs them. Oh, please.

Sutton’s Southern Hospitality

Sutton invited Erika over for lunch. She is serving Popeye’s Chicken, but on the fancy china. And she is serving up either sweet tea or champagne. Sutton doesn’t want to see Erika striking out at people. She suggests that Erika use some compassion in her voice. They agree that “victim” is a trigger word for Erika. Erika just wants to be heard, and Sutton understands that.

Is That An Apology?

Kyle is anxious while waiting for Kathy to arrive. Kathy makes a joke about coming in from the ranch to apologize. That is just…odd.

Kyle and Kathy’s relationship had been strained by Kyle’s television show, American Woman. When Kyle’s husband, Mauricio Umansky, left Rick Hilton’s real estate firm to start The Agency, it was another source of tension.

Kathy apologized for venting and admitted that she didn’t think that Kyle would find out. I guess that makes it okay, then! Kyle asked why her sister said such horrible things about her. Kathy blamed the altitude, the wine, and being tired as reasons for her temper tantrum.

When Kyle said that Kathy’s words make it feel like she hates her, Kathy flips it back on Kyle. She accuses Kyle of not spending time with family and not answering her phone calls. Kathy says that she is proud of Kyle, and all her achievements, adding that their mother would be, too. It means a great deal to Kyle to hear the words, but Kathy’s actions contradict those sentiments.

Rinna Takes All

Conveniently, Rinna is on the way over to Kyle’s house. Kathy makes the same jokey apology to Rinna, but Rinna is all business. First of all, Kathy is wearing the same shirt that she was wearing the night of her verbal tirade, which aggravates Rinna.

Kathy apologizes and denies having a temper. Rinna wants to know what made Kathy say such terrible things. She wants Kathy to take responsibility for her actions and get some help. Kathy told Rinna, “I feel you can be very unkind, too.” Then she explains how a good friend is dying of cancer and starts crying.

After a while, Rinna tells Kathy that she isn’t going to get away with gaslighting her. In her confessional, Kathy brought up how Rinna became physical with her sister, Kim Richards, in Amsterdam.

Rinna asks where Kathy’s “black heart” comes from. Kathy is done and leaves. Kyle feels stuck in the middle and like Rinna pushed Kathy. As for Rinna? She looks pretty pleased with herself.

TELL US- DID KATHY TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HER ACTIONS? WHAT DID YOU THINK OF ERIKA SHARING HER THERAPY SESSION? ARE YOU TEAM RINNA OR TEAM KATHY?

Survivor 43 Episode 2 Recap: To Bead Or Not To Bead…That Is The Question

Survivor 43 continues its strong start this week, following up last week’s two-hour Premiere Episode with a fun and unpredictable 90-minute Episode 2. The additional time is important this early in the season, as it gives us a chance to become more invested in this group of contestants, and it allows the producers even more room for character-building and story-telling.

But sometimes, characters on Survivor don’t need any help at all being “built,” they simply are “characters” already in real life. This week’s episode belonged once again to Cody Assenmacher (just love that last name), who I pointed out last week as being the one person that really was putting out some “future All-Star” vibes. He just seems unique…he may be an amalgam of other players we’ve seen on the show before, but you can’t quite put your finger on what makes him so incredibly compelling. Sure, every episode of Season 43 so far has now featured a shot of the “LIVIN” tattoo on Cody’s ass(enmacher), which is a trend I could do without. But for every “cliff-diving” segment they’ve given him thus far, they’ve also shown him to be a savvy strategic and social player. His “Beware Challenge’ journey this week is an instant classic Survivor “moment,” a sequence that will go down in history and become even more legendary the further that Cody goes in the game. And the move also has “new era” written all over it, with the Survivor producers saving the reveal of his accomplishment until during the reading of the votes, for maximum dramatic effect (a structural move that would never have happened in past “old era” Survivor).

Of course I’m referring to Cody‘s personal mission impossible. It all started with his Red Tribe getting cremated during this week’s Immunity Challenge, with Nneka taking most of the blame for their team loss. It was Nneka after all, who didn’t even remove one of the puzzle pieces from the bag that she was responsible for, and she did struggle noticeably much worse than the rest of her tribe during the earlier, physical portion of the challenge. But we were reminded that Dwight lost his vote last episode, by choosing to risk it and losing out – by chance – on the Immunity Idol that ultimately ended up with Gabler over at the Yellow Tribe. Dwight’s vote not in play, that means that a three-person majority could control the vote at the Red Tribe’s first Tribal Council, and Cody, Jesse and Nneka all seemed locked in to vote out Justine.

But then Cody went out and found a “Beware Advantage.” Remember, these contestants have now seen Seasons 41 and 42, so Cody had to have known that if he decided to open it up, that he was probably going to lose his vote until he was able to pull off some sort of ridiculous challenge or mission. In the last two seasons, the tasks would not have even been possible to complete before heading to Tribal that same night, as they required the players to say ridiculous sayings out loud during the challenges, in order for their Idols to activate. But hey, LIVIN. The go-lucky adventurer was not thinking in that moment how important his vote was, or what damage it may do. He was going to open that thing up and read it and that’s exactly what he did.

What came next was nothing short of amazing. How the heck was he going to pull off getting beads – willingly given to him – from each of his tribe mates? Cody‘s ally, Jesse, one of the other stand-out fan-favorites thus far this season, brought up the palm frond hat that Cody had made earlier…those beads would be a lovely addition to them and the perfect cover. Even this idea alone had to feel like absolutely striking gold for Jeff Probst and the producers…they could not have possibly anticipated a player making a palm frond hat, and must have wondered exactly how a player would have to have gone about collecting these needed beads to form the Immunity Necklace. But Cody provided that gold. Even with the idea in motion, it seemed impossible that Cody would be able to get all of these beads in the short time before Tribal. But he needed to. It was drawing rocks time at Tribal if he didn’t figure it out.

The viewer headed off to Tribal thinking that Cody was able to score all of the beads except for Noelle‘s…and that we were headed to rocks. Imagine how boring it would have been had they shown him getting all the beads ahead of time? We, as viewers, are not used to being hoodwinked – blindsided, if you will – ourselves. But oh does it feel good when done the right way. Tonight’s episode was the right way, a reveal that didn’t seem like a manipulation, and one that was appreciated for the drama and tension that it brought.

On the receiving end of this move was “spider queen” Justine, whose real blunder seemed to be her inability to connect with Jesse. She was correct in saying that Jesse was in the middle and was the “swing” vote, but the way she approached him about it was a bit less than cordial. Big kudos to Jesse on the move, because Justine could have definitely developed into a larger strategic threat, and he made the move to serve his own game, despite what his “Island Spouse” Dwight might have thought about it. Dwight on the other hand was also blindsided by the move, and I know emotions run high out there, especially right after a Tribal blindside, but I don’t really like his “we’ll talk about this later” comment to Jesse on the way out. Like, Jesse is in trouble and needs a talking to? Dwight is the one that is in trouble now, and instead of trying to repair his relationship with Jesse, it looks like next week’s episode teases that Dwight is instead going to stay bitter towards Jesse. He and Noelle are both in big trouble as they find themselves now on the wrong side of the numbers, and with Cody sporting his one-of-a-kind, beaded palm frond Immunity Crown.

We didn’t get much insight this week into the Blue Tribe (though we did get another great flashback sequence giving us a bit more information on Geo, and how Geo and Ryan might be a formidable two-some). The other drama this week was over at the Yellow Tribe, with the spotlight mostly still on Gabler. Yes, he’s older than the rest of the contestants this season, but the show went out of its way to show the physical toll it was taking on Gabler specifically. Was this a bit of foreshadowing? Or just an attempt to throw us off Gabler being a post-merge player? His tribe – well, mostly Elie – also had issues with him taking out their newly won fishing spear, and they all secretly pondered the power of the Idol that they all know he possesses. Well, they went past the point of “pondering” when Jeanine actually went into Gabler’s personal bag to track down and re-read the parchment that came with the Idol. Does the Idol have power for the first two OVERALL Tribal Councils? If so, then Gabler’s Idol would now be useless. Or, could it be used for the first two Tribals that Gabler is actually at? They clarified it for us that it is actually the latter, meaning that Gabler is indeed safe at his next Tribal Council…should he choose to play it (and why wouldn’t he? He is Gabler after all!). Jeanine and Elie seem to cocky to realize that they really did make what seems to be a boneheaded move in voting out Morriah last week…the three guys, Gabler, Sami and Owen, may not talk a lot of game but they do know that they need to stick together strategically, which only spells trouble for the girls, who seem to be severely underestimating each of the guys, albeit in different ways. As next week’s preview shows, Sami tattles on Jeanine to Gabler about rifling through his personal belongings, so things are about to get a bit uglier over at Team Yellow.

Episode Take-Away: What can you say about Cody? About this “new era” of Survivor? First of all, I wish that each week could be 90-minutes at minimum…I just love having that feeling of watching Survivor episodes sort of “breathe.” Cody is a big personality, but so far has avoided becoming a big target, which is impressive. Tucked underneath the big shield he provides though, is Jesse and Nneka. They could be a formidable and “under-the-radar” pair should they go far in the game. I just love when Survivor starts off each season by sending different tribes to Tribal Council, so we can get enamored with each of the tribe’s dynamics as soon into the season as possible. Nothing personal, but here’s hoping the Blue Tribe meets up with Jeff Probst at the end of next week’s episode! If they don’t and it is one of the other tribes, I think that Elie or Jeanine could be in serious trouble at Yellow, and Dwight could be the next target at Red. Of course, this is Survivor, and there are challenges to be had, and other advantages and twists to be discovered between now and then. But so far I am getting a really good vibe from Season 43: No clear-cut villains, but so many people to root for, and that’s really all you can hope for.

Out this week: Justine

Won Immunity: Blue Tribe and Yellow Tribe

Vote Result: No advantages or Idols were played. Dwight had no vote. 3 – Justine (Cody, Jesse, Nneka), 1 – Cody (Justine), 1 – Nneka (Noelle)

Current Advantage List:

• Gabler – 1 Immunity Idol (expires after one more Tribal Council for him)
• Cody – 1 Immunity Idol (unclear if/when it expires)

Next Week’s Episode: We get deeper into some strategy and tribe-dynamics with a 90-minute episode next Wednesday. Plus, Cody goes cliff-diving! What could go wrong?

Jim Edmonds Marries Kortnie O’Connor In Italian Destination Wedding

You know that they say: fourth time’s a charm. Real Housewives of Orange County’s Jim Edmonds just got married for the fourth time this week, and he’s hoping this is the one that sticks. Although walking down the aisle isn’t new to Jim, he and his latest bride, Kortnie O’Connor, spared no expense. The former baseball player and Real Househusband of Orange County held a destination wedding in Italy to tie the knot, and People covered all of the details.

Kortnie and Jim got engaged in July of last year, just three months after he finalized his divorce from former Real Housewife Meghan King Edmonds. At the time of their engagement, Kortnie acknowledged that this wasn’t her fiance’s first time at bat. She told People, “As I’m sure everyone knows, this isn’t Jim’s first time around. So we just wanted to make it about enjoying everybody — all of our close friends and family. An adventure for everybody to enjoy, not another wedding in the church.”

Over a year later, it sounds like quite an adventure was had. Jim, Kortnie, and their 32 guests traveled to Lake Como, Italy, and held their ceremony at a 19th-century villa. After saying, “I do,” Jim and Kortnie took a sunset boat ride around the lake, snapping pictures while their guests enjoyed a cocktail hour. Later, they dined on Italian food, and a DJ took them into the night with some tunes.

“This was truly a dream wedding in a beautiful location surrounded by some of the most important people in our lives,” Kortnie said about the wedding, which was her first. “It was more than I could have ever imagined.”

Although Jim was just served with a temporary restraining order from his ex-wife Meghan earlier this month, he was over the moon and feeling optimistic about his wedding ceremony with Kortnie. He said, “The best part of the wedding is I now get to spend the rest of my life with Kortnie.” He continued, “For the first time in my life, I finally understand true happiness.”

Good for Jim, who’s 52, for finally understanding true happiness. For Kortnie’s sake, let’s hope this marriage goes smoother than the last few.

Bachelorettes Gabby And Rachel Talk About Zach Shallcross Being The Next Bachelor

The most recent season of The Bachelorette has ended, and now the time has come to pass the baton — or the rose, in this case — to the new Bachelor. And the new Bachelor is (drumroll, please) . . . Zach Shallcross!

As part of their contractual duties, outgoing co-Bachelorettes Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey are sharing their reactions to Zach being chosen as the next Bachelor.

The day after the season finale of The Bachelorette aired, Gabby and Rachel sat down for an interview with ET and had only positive things to say about Zach.

During the just completed Season 19, Zach competed for Rachel‘s heart, but their relationship ended after an awkward Fantasy Suite date. When they were reunited at the Men Tell All episode, Rachel called her ex “an incredible guy,” and Zach said he wishes only “the best” for her.

“I’m really excited for him. I think Zach‘s a great guy,” Rachel says. “It’s a lot of pressure, but I think he’ll step up to the plate. We wish him the best of luck. We can’t wait to watch him and not be part of a season for once.”

While Gabby had only positive things to say about Zach, she had made no secret of her hopes that her ex, Nate Mitchell, would land the leading role on The Bachelor.

“He knows how to treat women. He’s so smart, he’s old, he has a great job, he spends his time reading — not reading social media, reading actual books,” Gabby previously said of the single dad. “He has a daughter, so he knows what it’s like to have responsibility. He’s a real, true definition of a man.”

Gabby thinks calling her ex “old” is a compliment? Ay yi yi. Also she says he “reads books,” like it’s such an unusual thing for someone to do. That just confirms my original opinion that maybe Gabby’s not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Gabby also says, while “it would have been great to see Nate” in the role, she thinks “Zach will do well too.”

As for Zach, he’s excited to find his soulmate.

“I am ready,” Zach told host Jesse Palmer on the Bachelorette finale, before adding that his experience with Rachel “didn’t change how ready I was.”

“I’m now more ready. That’s almost fuel to the fire,” Zach continued. “I’m ready to find my person, my best friend. I want to walk away from this with someone for the rest of my life.”

Nick Viall Slams Adam Levine Amid Cheating Allegations

Former Bachelor Nick Viall is criticizing singer Adam Levine,  who is accused of cheating on his pregnant wife of 8 years, Behati Prinsloo, with model Sumner Stroh. Adam is denying the allegations.

“Alright, some quick thoughts,” Nick said in a TikTok video. “One, and the most important one, is that the only victim here is Behati, Adam’s wife. Like she doesn’t deserve this.”

Nick continued, “Two, is that the only people responsible for protecting a relationship are the people in the relationship. If there was an affair here, it was because Adam chose to have an affair, not because this girl was a willing participant. If it wasn’t going to be her, it would’ve been someone else.”

On Monday, Sumner posted a video claiming the Maroon 5 frontman had “manipulated” her into having an affair with him, as reported by Page Six.

Sumner claimed that the alleged “physical” affair took place “[last year” when she “graduated college in 2021.”

Adam is denying the allegations, claiming that while he may have “crossed a line” flirting with the model online, they never met in person.

“I used poor judgment in speaking with anyone other than my wife in ANY kind of flirtatious manner,” Adam wrote in an Instagram statement.

“I did not have an affair, nevertheless, I crossed the line during a regrettable period of my life. In certain instances it became inappropriate. I have addressed that and taken proactive steps to remedy this with my family.”

The former judge on The Voice — who has previously said he doesn’t believe monogamy is natural — went on to say he takes “full responsibility” for his actions, as he and his family “will get through it together.”

Reportedly, two other women have since made videos exposing flirtatious messages with the “She Will Be Loved” singer.

Although Behati, who is currently expecting the couple’s third child, is reportedly “very upset” by the claims, she and Adam, who  married in 2014, are showing a united front.

The couple was all smiles last week while picking up their young daughters, Gio Grace, 4, and Dusty Rose, 5, from school.

Sounds like “rock star” Adam thought he had “Moves Like Jagger,” but it was really more about his “Cheatin’ Heart.”

Lesley Beador Claims That David Beador Filed For Dismissal Of His Divorce Filing

Lesley Beador is marking herself safe from her reported divorce filing with David Beador. And that’s according to…herself.

Lesley took to her Instagram stories to re-write the narrative that she and David were calling it quits. She shared a picture of herself wrapped around David with a message that read, “My husband filed a request for dismissal a few days ago. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.” The post was shared by the famous Housewives parody account, @donngunvalson.

To ensure her followers returned to their regular programming, Lesley made sure to tag herself in the post three times. I’ve quite literally never seen anything like it. And speaking of things yet to be seen, Page Six is reporting that no such dismissal has been filed.

According to the outlet, a public information officer for the Superior Court of California in Orange County revealed that there hasn’t been any request to dismiss the divorce filing “at this time.” Awkward! The spokesperson verified that there was no request in the queue for filing. It was also reported that, according to the online records, there is no evidence for a dismissal request in the case docket.

David filed for divorce in recent weeks citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason. David seemed to waste no time, filing his date of separation as the same day he was filing for divorce (September 15th, to be exact.) It was reported at the time that David is seeking joint physical and legal custody of his 19-month-old daughter, Anna Love Beador, who he shares with Lesley.

As far as spousal support, David is rumored to be disinterested in paying. No shock there. It’s been additionally reported that David and Lesley did sign a prenuptial agreement in the days leading up to their October 2020 wedding.

Prior to their (alleged?) split, these two were spending their time between Orange County and Montana, where they also own a home. Documents state that “the full nature and extent of Petitioner’s separate property is to be determined at time of trial or settlement. Given the very short term marriage, there are nominal community property assets and debts.” That is…if this divorce is actually happening.

Mark Ballas Says Dancing With The Stars Return “Felt Great”

Dancing with the Stars is back for Season 31. The show has a new home on Disney+ and a new co-host. Former contestant and mirror ball champion Alfonso Ribeiro is joining Tyra Banks as a co-host this season. Having Alfonso conducting interviews in the sky box just feels right.

And pro Mark Ballas, who had been absent from the DWTS ballroom for five years, is back, baby! Mark is dancing with TikTok sensation Charli D’Amelio. Charli is competing against her mother, Heidi D’Amelio, who is partnered with Artem Chigvintsev. A mother-daughter duo competing for the mirror ball is a first for DWTS.

Mark shared his feelings about returning to the show with US Weekly and other reporters after the season premiere. “It felt great. It felt the same but new, fresh [and] nostalgic. … It was a good time,” Mark stated. “It felt really good tonight.”

Charli and Mark nabbed a judges’ score of 32/40 for their sizzling cha-cha. That put them at the top of the leaderboard. Their routine impressed all the judges, including Mark’s good friend, Derek Hough. Derek and Mark competed on the show for years before Derek took a seat at the judges’ table for Season 29.

“You know, Derek and I have been friends since we were 10. Like, we’ve lived together, we went to school together every day,” Mark shared. “Dude used to steal my clothes. Like, we’re friends, you know what I mean? Brothers even.” The dance pro continued, “So it was really cool to be out here and … it was funny seeing him on the judges’ table ’cause I haven’t been here since he’s done that.”

Mark couldn’t help but praise Charli after their first performance. “It’s great to be in the top spot. We weren’t anticipating that,” Mark said. “The only thing we wanted to do was work super hard [and] maximize our rehearsal time and just do the best that we possibly could. And we had a good night tonight.” He added, “So I’m proud of [Charli].”

Charli “can’t wait to see” what her mother and her partner Artem have planned for the upcoming weeks. “I’m really excited. We all talked a little bit during rehearsal, the four of us, [and] it was a great time,” Charli remarked.

“I have the best partner that I could have asked for, and I’m really proud of what we did today. … I’m excited to see what everyone else does,” she commented.

Mark, who starred in Jersey Boys on Broadway, made his debut on DWTS during Season 5 with partner Sabrina Bryan. He appeared as a pro for 19 seasons. Mark has danced with celebrity partners Kristin Cavallari of The Hills, Kim Kardashian of Keeping up with The Kardashians fame, Olympian Aly Raisman, and actress Candace Cameron Bure.

He went on to achieve mirror ball glory in Season 6 with Kristi Yamaguchi and in Season 8 with Shawn Johnson. Mark, who is from Texas, left DWTS after Season 25 wrapped. I’ve missed Derek and Mark’s bromance. I also love Mark’s creative choreography, so I’m happy to see him back in the ballroom!
