Andy Cohen Responds To Ramona Singer’s Exit From The Real Housewives Of New York City

Andy Cohen Responds To Ramona Singer's Exit From The Real Housewives Of New York City

Welp, it’s been official for some time now, but we can officially say goodbye to Ramona Singer on the Real Housewives of New York City. Andy Cohen, an executive producer of the Real Housewives franchise, spoke with Us Weekly and dished on Ramona’s exit from the show.

When asked if it’s sad that such a staple would be leaving the show, he said, “… I’m so excited about the plan for RHONY. … The fact that we’re getting an all-new RHONY and then a cast with our old friends, sure… of course it is.”

The news that RHONY would be split into two casts after the conclusion of season 13 was hard for fans to swallow. After such a messy season, the show’s production company and Bravo opted not to have a reunion for the show’s thirteenth season. After the new cast for season 14 was announced, the casting for RHONY: Legacy can pick up.

A little while ago, Ramona shared that she wasn’t interested in doing the New York spin-off — calling it the “loser legacy” on Carlos King’s podcast, Reality with the King. When asked if she would consider, she said, “I really don’t know. Number one, I don’t know if I will be [invited]. And number [two], I don’t know if I want to do it again.”

After being on the show for so long, Ramona was one of the franchises’ longest-running Housewives. On that topic, she added, “I’ve been there for a long time. I mean, never say no, never say never. But I also feel like the Legacy, how can it be really good? The people who they’re going to bring back are people they didn’t want to renew anyway.”

“So now, what are you gonna call it?” Ramona added. “The Loser Show? The Loser Legacy? Oop! Well, tell us how you really feel, Ramona! I don’t blame her. I do think some of the Housewives have a bit of an ego when it comes to their time to leave the series. But can you blame them? After being such an icon for so long — it’s hard to let that go. At the end of the day, there will never be another Ramona Singer… ever.

Jill Chin And Jacob Rapini Still Going Strong Following Bachelor In Paradise Reunion

Jill Chin And Jacob Rapini Still Going Strong Following Bachelor In Paradise Reunion

Tarzan seems to have found his Jane.

When Bachelor in Paradise stars Jacob Rapini and Jill Chin were reunited at taping of the show’s reunion on November 4th (the episode aired on television November 22nd), Jacob ended their interview by scooping Jill into his arms and carrying her off stage. Apparently they’re still together, and going strong, according to Us Magazine.

Jill and Jacob were both early arrivals to Playa Escondida Resort in Mexico. They each walked down the stairs leading to the beach in week one of Bachelor in Paradise Season 8, but didn’t connect until episode five. Their first date was very quirky, perfect for the definitely odd pair. The couple went on a “full moon date,” where they both got naked and did tantric breathing meditation. Not like any first date I’ve ever been on, but this is the alternate universe which is Bachelor Nation.

Following the successful outing and a rose ceremony, Jacob and Jill came up against a major roadblock, when host Jesse Palmer announced that the women would be “leaving Paradise immediately” to spend the week at a different resort (posher and with actual AC), while a new group of female contestants would be brought in to flirt with their men.

While Jill spent most of “Split Week” at the new hotel crying in her bed and refusing to interact with any of the shiny new men brought in to entertain/tempt the transplanted women, Jacob was back on the beach in Paradise canoodling with Kate Gallivan, a California real estate agent and gold digger who’s looking for a guy whose bank account she can fall in love with.

Even though Jacob‘s romance with Kate didn’t last long (as she soon moved on to videographer Logan Palmer),  Jill packed her bags and left the show in a huff.

The Bachelorette Season 19 alum admitted that he had regrets about how things ended with Jill. “Obviously, at that point, Kate and I were no longer, and I was perfectly fine with that. I wish I had tried to pursue us as just a couple. Getting engaged at the end, probably not, but us as an actual relationship where we could be, you know, just talking and having fun with each other like we were before. I kind of do wish that [we] continued things,” Jacob explained. “What I did there was I said, ‘OK, look, I don’t want to lead you on anymore. I want you to see if you can find your soulmate here.’ I didn’t want her to leave right away. I didn’t think she would leave right away. But after what happened with her and Romeo [Alexander (with whom Jill had briefly spent time before getting together with Jacob] and then having a relationship with her and I, Jill just said, ‘You know what? Enough is enough. I gotta go.’ I still wish I had just said, ‘Let’s just see what you and I have.'”

After filming of BIP ended later in the summer, the couple reconnected and announced their status during the reunion. Additionally, both of their respective Bachelor Nation Wiki pages reflect their status as dating each other “since November 2022.”

“We just started talking. We talked on the phone every other day, like, outside of Paradise,” Jacob went on. “It’s fun . . . We said to ourselves, no pressure whatsoever, but we’re open to having a relationship.”

Jill added that they are working on their communication. “We are exploring it. I think it’s really in its infancy right now, so we just have to see. We have to explore more. We have to have more conversations, go on dates, spend some quality time together and then decide from there. But so far, things are good,” she said. “I think [our next step is] communicating our needs and our feelings. Getting to know him on a deeper level. On the beach, I didn’t get to know him terribly deeply, but even last night, we had such a great conversation. I just think spending more time together. We’re gonna have to do a couple trips, so I think a couple trips are in the future for sure. And then we’ll see what happens from there.”

There seems to be a lot more to this couple than we saw on the show. They sound like they’re headed in the right direction, just having a “normal” dating relationship, rather than being focused on getting engaged after only knowing each other a few weeks.

Jill and Jacob are an odd couple who just might go the distance. Now if Jacob can only keep his clothes on in public . . .

TELL US – DID YOU THINK JILL AND JACOB WOULD ACTUALLY STILL BE TOGETHER AFTER PARADISE? DO YOU LIKE THEM AS A COUPLE?

Kim Kardashian And Kanye West Settle Their Divorce

Kim Kardashian And Kanye West Settle Their Divorce

Keeping Up With The Kardashians star Kim Kardashian’s divorce from rapper Kanye West was beyond messy. Kanye, who now goes by Ye, repeatedly tried to win his wife back.

But Kim moved on with Saturday Night Live funny man Pete Davidson in November of 2021. While Kim was living her best life, Ye was airing his family’s dirty laundry.

Ye posted on Instagram about his children, alleging in the comments that he was “allowed” to see his daughter a week earlier. “Please stop with this narrative, you were just here this morning picking up the kids for school,” Kim clapped back in the comments.

He made a similar claim in another incident, “Earlier this week, Monday, when I went to go pick my kids up from school, the security stopped me at the gate,” Ye stated. “So, at that point, security was in between me and my children.”

Ye even came after Pete. He mentioned him in his song “Eazy” and threatened to beat him up.

Kim’s ex previously slammed her momager, Kris Jenner. In a head-scratching move, Ye recently changed his Instagram profile photo to a photo of his former mother-in-law. Ye wrote in his Instagram Stories, “I POSTED KRIS WITH THOUGHTS OF PEACE AND RESPECT. LET’S CHANGE THE NARRATIVE.”

In March 2022, Kim scored a courtroom victory when her request to be legally single was approved by a judge. Meanwhile, Ye lost his fourth divorce attorney in May 2022. The lawyer claimed “an irreconcilable breakdown in the attorney-client relationship” as the basis for her stepping down.

If you were wondering when this divorce would be over, you can rejoice. Page Six reported that Kim and Ye settled their divorce on November 28, 2022. The couple was married for seven years.

In the court documents obtained by Page Six, Kim and Ye will share joint custody with “equal access” to their four kids. The couple share two daughters, North West and Chicago West, and two sons, Saint West and Psalm West.

Insiders close to Kim told TMZ that Kim will continue to care for their children 80% of the time. Ye will also be paying out $200,000 each month in child support.

According to the settlement, if there is a disagreement about any of their children, the exes are required to attend mediation. If one party doesn’t attend mediation, then the decision-making power goes to the participant.

Ye is also responsible for paying 50% of the children’s security costs and their educational expenses. Both parties waived spousal support. Ye and Kim’s properties were divided as dictated by their prenup.

Page Six contacted Kim’s rep for comment but did not hear back.

The Skims founder and Pete ended their whirlwind romance in August 2022. I liked them as a couple.

Hopefully, any further family drama will stay out of the public eye.

Sarah Hyland Threatened to Walk Out of Wedding If Wells Adams Didn’t Cry

Sarah Hyland Threatened to Walk Out of Wedding If Wells Adams Didn't Cry

Former Modern Family star Sarah Hyland gave her fiancé Wells Adams an ultimatum on their wedding day: no tears, no ring!

When singer/talk show host Kelly Clarkson asked the newlywed if it was “true that you threatened your husband if he didn’t cry,” Sarah confessed that she did, in fact, express her expectations to her now-husband in no uncertain terms.

“Yes,” Sarah told the host, “I actually, specifically, verbatim said: ‘If I don’t see you crying when I walk down the aisle, I’m turning around.'”

Fortunately for everyone involved, Wells managed to squeeze out a few heartfelt tears as she made her grand entrance at their wedding in August.

The Bachelor in Paradise bartender proposed to his actress girlfriend in 2019, but — like a lot of other engaged couples — their wedding plans kept getting pushed back by the COVID pandemic.  The couple even joked that if something else got in the way of their big day this year, they’d just elope to Las Vegas.

“We’re going to do it all over again. We’re going to go on a nice vacation to where we got engaged, we’re going to re-plan the entire engagement party again, we’re going to re-plan our bachelor and bachelorette parties, we’re going to kind of like, start a new one doing the wedding stuff,” Wells told People of the wedding delays.

Nice to be able to afford a whole engagement do-over. But they deserve their happiness.

Sarah told then-host Chris Harrison on The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons Ever! in 2020 that their wedding plans had been put on pause, due to the pandemic. “No plans as of right now. We’ve put all planning on hold,” she said. “Of course with my health risks, we want to be as safe as possible.”

Sarah has a medical condition called kidney dysplasia, which means she’s immunocompromised and is at a higher risk for severe illness if she were to contract COVID-19. She’s actually had two separate kidney transplants, one in 2012 and a second operation in 2017.

The happy couple first met while exchanging flirty messages on Twitter back in 2017. Sarah had made the first move in 2016, when she tweeted (as many women did at the time) about how adorable Wells‘s appearance was on JoJo Fletcher‘s season of The Bachelorette.

“Ugh! @WellsAdams making a Lord of the Flies reference on men tell all??? #knewhewasthebestfromthestart #menwhoreadarehot” Sarah tweeted. She wasn’t alone in wanting to see more of Wells.

Sarah celebrated her birthday on Thanksgiving Day with a sweet tribute from her new husband. “I’m thankful for so much in my life,” Wells wrote on Instagram, “But I’m most thankful that this woman was born on this day.”

He added, “I’m not sure what I did in a past life to deserve something as perfect as you, but I thank the stars every day that I found you.”

Awwwwww. Are they just the cutest? I can’t even bring any snark for this couple. I’m just so tickled they’re together and wish them nothing but happiness.

Has Bachelor Nation’s Victoria Fuller Found Actual Paradise With Greg Grippo?

Has Bachelor Nation's Victoria Fuller Found Actual Paradise With Greg Grippo?

If Bachelor in Paradise is almost Paradise — like the theme song says — then human Bratz doll Victoria Fuller wants us to believe she’s found actual Paradise with Bachelorette alum Greg Grippo.

Victoria, who first appeared on Peter Weber‘s season of The Bachelor, before high-pressuring Johnny DePhillipo into proposing to her on BIP, is looking forward to a future with her new beau, Greg.

Some Bachelor Nation fans might remember Greg as the guy who self-eliminated in week 7 of Katie Thurston‘s Bachelorette season, saying he left the show because, “It felt, like, a little too scripted and felt like, ‘Alright, we need to play by [the rules].'”

What?! This show is scripted??? I’ve never heard of such a thing!

During the Nov. 22 Bachelor in Paradise finale, fans saw the medical sales representative get engaged to Johnny on the beach of Sayalita, Mexico. They seemed to be a happy couple, but when the lights and cameras went dark, so did their relationship.

During the show’s televised reunion, Johnny revealed that the couple were only engaged for “a month” before breaking up, accusing his ex-fiancée of cheating on him with Greg, which she denied, even while admitting that she’d flown to Rome, Italy, to meet Greg for “a drink.”

The timeline on the trip to Rome was unclear, but what was crystal clear was Victoria claiming that Johnny had called her a “f–king c–t” during an argument, which her ex didn’t deny.

Whoa. That’s pretty harsh. The Brits might take that word lightly, but not so much here in the colonies. That’s crossing a line, no matter whose “side” you’re on.

Victoria spoke to E! News following the studio taping of the finale, and gushed, “Greg and I are very, very happy right now . . . We are just enjoying being able to finally be together. We don’t know what the future holds, but maybe it’s a bunch of Grippo babies. We’ll see!”

As Victoria looks back on their relationship now, she admits that Johnny wasn’t ready for an engagement — something she says she expressed on Bachelor in Paradise.

Really? I don’t remember that at all. I just remember that she seemed to be expecting an engagement at the end of the show. I think Johnny was just trying to live up to her expectations, whether he was ready or not.

“That was something I struggled with with Johnny,” the Virginia Beach native explained. “I think he’s an amazing guy, but at the end of the day, there was that question: ‘OK, what is the end game here?’ Especially when comments were made on his end. At this point in my life, I need someone who can match my energy and that’s why I’m [now] with Greg. We compliment each other.”

“Johnny is an amazing man who is going to make some girl very, very happy,” Victoria continued. “Reflecting back, I see it, but it’s not really me. I felt myself compromising for things I wouldn’t normally compromise for. I wasn’t in a conducive environment for growing — you’re kind of stunted. You don’t really have outside sources giving their input. Looking back, I compromised a lot of what I normally wouldn’t to make that relationship work. Ultimately, it didn’t.”

The truth is that there are always three versions of every story. In this case, there’s Johnny‘s version and there’s Victoria‘s version, with the truth falling somewhere in between. Actually, in this case, there’s probably a fourth version of the story, which is Executive Producer Mike Fleiss’s version. Paraphrasing Greg Grippo‘s own words when he exited The Bachelorette, this show is extremely scripted and production can edit every story to look however they want it tot appear. It’s entertainment, not a documentary.

As for Victoria, we can honestly say that Johnny just isn’t “her person.” Only time will tell if Greg is either. I’m not gonna hold my breath waiting for those Grippo babies.

TELL US – WERE YOU SURPRISED TO HEAR THAT JOHNNY AND VICTORIA WERE NO LONGER A COUPLE? DO YOU THINK VICTORIA WILL GET HER GRIPPO BABIES? OR DO YOU THINK SHE’LL REMAIN TRUE TO HER TRACK RECORD AND MOVE ON TO SOMEONE ELSE BEFORE TOO LONG?

Cheryl Burke Says Leaving Dancing With The Stars Is Like “Another Divorce But An Amicable One”

Cheryl Burke Says Leaving Dancing With The Stars Is Like “Another Divorce But An Amicable One”

Dancing with the Stars pro Cheryl Burke has been navigating some major life changes. The Dance Moms alum celebrated four years of sobriety in 2022.

Cheryl filed for divorce from her husband, Matthew Lawrence, on February 18, 2022. She cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the couple’s breakup.

They met on DWTS when Matthew’s brother, Joey Lawrence, competed on the show. Matthew and Cheryl dated for a year before calling it quits. In 2017, they rekindled their romance. The couple got married on May 23, 2019, in San Diego.

Their divorce was finalized in September 2022. Cheryl hinted that infidelity may have played a role in the break down of her marriage. The dancer posted a TikTok set to Adele’s “When We Were Young.” In the video, Cheryl stared directly at the camera and shook her head. She wrote over the video, “When he said he would never talk to her again, yet I found text messages, Viagra, and a necklace hidden in a pair of his shoes.” Yikes!

Cheryl added in the caption, “The last time is absolutely right! Goodbye forever…#exessuck #goodbyeforever #hopeitwasworthit.” Cheryl didn’t name which ex allegedly cheated.

During Season 31 of DWTS, Cheryl was paired with weatherman Sam Champion. The couple never really hit their groove, and they were sent home during Disney+ night. Then Cheryl announced that she was exiting the show after 26 seasons. The two-time mirrorball champ, who joined the cast during Season 2, shared the news via Instagram.

“This show has been my 2nd family since I was 21 years old,” she wrote. “The cast, crew & fans have seen me through my highest highs & some of my lowest lows, & I honestly don’t know who I would be today without them.” During the DWTS finale, Cheryl danced with two of her favorite partners, Louis Van Amstel and Pasha Pashkov, to Barry Manilow’s “Copacabana.” It was fire!

Cheryl spoke to Page Six following the finale about her decision to retire from the show. “I am overwhelmed. I’ve been trying to hold back the tears, I would say, because I wanted to really perform the best I could,” she stated. “Now with all of that behind me, it’s bittersweet … but I have to just trust my intuition.”

The dance pro added, “[It’s been] so hard. This is like another type of divorce, but an amicable one.” Oh, the shade!

“I do know though that I love to evolve as a human being. I think for me, I’ve done 26 seasons as a professional dancer and I know I’m more than capable to do other things as well,” Cheryl remarked.

Cheryl is interested in using her platform to increase mental health awareness. But now that judge Len Goodman has retired from DWTS, would Cheryl consider taking a seat at the judges’ table? “I never thought in a million years I would retire the same season as Len Goodman. Honestly, I would love to evolve within the [ DWTS] family, but if that doesn’t happen? All good,” Cheryl said. “I had to do this for me.”

Cheryl also weighed in on TikTok star Charli D’Amelio and pro Mark Ballas winning the glittering mirrorball trophy. The Bachelorette star Gabby Windey and Val Chmerkovskiy took second place. Comedian Wayne Brady and Witney Carson came in third, while RuPaul’s Drag Race star Shangela and partner Gleb Savchenko came in fourth place.

“It’s deserved! I called it from the beginning. I mean, Mark is such a creative genius,” she commented. “I am so proud of him. It’s not easy taking a break and coming back.” Kudos to Mark for winning after a five-year hiatus!

Cheryl remarked, “I just love that Mark came back with a vengeance, and with someone who’s so sweet like Charli. Very well deserved. I’m so happy for both of them,” she added.

Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi Reveals Why She Would Never Let Her Kids Watch Jersey Shore

Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi Reveals Why She Would Never Let Her Kids Watch Jersey Shore

Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi opens up about whether she’d want her children watching her on Jersey Shore. The reality star, known for her over-the-top personality on the MTV series, seems to want to shield her children from her past before she was a mother.

In an interview with People, the 34-year-old shared her thoughts and noted that “even if they’re 30,” she doesn’t plan on letting her kids see the show.

“Even if they’re 30, I’m like, I don’t want you watching that. It’s weird,” she shared. “I mean, even now my kids are 10 and 8 and they’re on TikTok and see old clips and stuff.”

I would pay top dollar to see one of Snooki’s kids scrolling across an old clip of her writing the note to Sammi Giancola about Ronnie Ortiz-Margo cheating on her in the club. What a legendary moment. In fact, most MTV reality shows like The Real World and The Challenge have given fans of the genre tons of amazing moments.

“So they’re like, ‘Mommy, what are you doing here?’ And I’m just like, ‘Mommy’s a paid actress. They made me do that,'” she said.

The Jersey native stated that she planned to tell her kids when they’re older that she was “crazy” when she originally filmed the series.

Jersey Shore originally aired from 2009 to 2012. The show followed eight different housemates at a vacation home in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. The show instantly took off and became one of the most popular shows on MTV and in the reality tv genre.

Snooki received her own spin-off show with her co-star, Jennifer ‘JWoww’ Farley. Their spin-off was the most successful of all the Jersey Shore cast members’ shows. Fans loved the original run of Jersey Shore that MTV brought the cast back, except for Sammi, for a new reunion titled Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.

The show has been filming since 2018 and has aired 5 seasons. Some of the fans of the Real Housewives of New Jersey have begged Andy Cohen to give her a spot on the show; however, Andy quickly shot down those requests.

Porsha Williams And Simon Guobadia Get Married Again In American Ceremony

Porsha Williams And Simon Guobadia Get Married Again In American Ceremony

Former Real Housewives of Atlanta peach Porsha Williams certainly faced some skepticism about her romance with Simon Guobadia. Simon was the very recent ex of Falynn Pina (previously Falynn Guobadia) when the duo started dating.

In May of 2021, Simon shared the news via Instagram that he had popped the question to Porsha after dating for one month. His divorce from Falynn wasn’t finalized at the time. Simon gave Porsha a sparkler that cost somewhere between “$500,000 to $1.25 million.” Porsha’s friend and RHOA co-star Shamea Morton brought the couple together.

On November 25, 2022, Porsha and Simon made it official and got married during a Nigerian native law and custom ceremony. There were 250 guests in attendance at the Four Seasons Hotel Atlanta. Simon is from Benin City in the Edo State of Nigeria.

Porsha wore a customary gown for an Edo bride. The gorgeous red dress was designed by Lakimmy. And yes, it is the same dress that Porsha accidentally previewed to over 2,000 viewers during an Instagram Live. Oof.

According to People, Porsha and Simon tied the knot again in an American wedding on November 26, 2022. The celebration was planned by Eliana Baucicault of Elly B events.

The festivities began at a Methodist church. Porsha walked down the aisle accompanied by her brother, Hosea Williams III, in front of 350 guests. Singer Tasha Cobbs Leonard sang the song “For Every Mountain,” along with a 40-piece orchestra and gospel choir.

The bride wore a white lace ballgown by Frida. “I definitely want the Lord to be in the place. I want the Holy Spirit to usher us into being a husband and wife,” Porsha told People before the wedding.

“I’m from the south, so I love being in church. I’ve never been married in a church, and Simon’s never been married in a church, so it’s going to be a new experience for both of us,” she added.
Porsha and Simon decided to wait until the church altar to exchange their wedding rings. Porsha’s bridal party included her sister, Lauren Williams, who served as her maid of honor, and Shamea, who served as her matron of honor.

Porsha’s daughter with baby daddy Dennis McKinley, Pilar Jhena McKinley, and Simon’s children all had important roles in the ceremony. Simon has five children from previous marriages: Quentin, Christian, Benjamin, Nicole, and Ximena.

“Pilar is going to be a flower girl, and her dress is so cute, I could’ve copied it for a wedding gown. Then my niece, Baleigh, my sister’s daughter, is going to be another flower girl,” Porsha stated.
“Our daughter, Ximena, is going be a junior bridesmaid. Our sons, Christian and Benjamin, are going to walk my grandmother down the aisle.” She continued, “Simon’s oldest son, Quentin, is going to walk him down the aisle.”

The reception was held at the St. Regis Atlanta. Porsha changed into an Albina Dyla gown. A surprise performance by the R&B group Dru Hill was sentimental for the bride.  “I really wanted to hear the song “Beauty Is Her Name.” I have always thought about having on a wedding dress and dancing to it,” Porsha explained. “And then my husband would say, ‘Beauty Is Her Name.'” That is so sweet.

Porsha knows that her celebration was over-the-top. “If extra was a bride, it’d be me. I promise you I did not know that I was this extra,” the RHOA alum said. Porsha commented that her wedding cake was “so tall” that she’d need a “sword” to slice it. Wow!

Porsha had two more outfit changes in store. She changed for the bouquet toss and then for the after-party. Porsha also changed her wigs, by her brand Go Naked, to suit each new look. “I thought, ‘Why not? It’s my last wedding forever,'” she remarked.

The bride and groom asked for guests to unplug, just as they requested during the previous night’s celebration. “This guest list, everyone there was handpicked by the both of us,” Porsha explained. “These are people that we care about, these are people that we love, people who have supported us, and we really want them there to feel their energy and for us to celebrate our love together.”

RHOA stars Kandi Burruss, Drew Sidora, Cynthia Bailey, Kim Zolciak-Biermann, and Monyetta Shaw were all present. Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta’s star Karlie Redd, Married to Medicine’s cast member Quad Webb, Basketball Wives’ star Jennifer Williams, rapper T.I. and wife Tiny Harris, and comedian Rickey Smiley also attended the nuptials.

Congrats (again) to Porsha and Simon!

Real Housewives Of Atlanta Star Porsha Williams And Simon Guobadia Wed In Nigerian Ceremony

Real Housewives Of Atlanta Star Porsha Williams And Simon Guobadia Wed In Nigerian Ceremony

Real Housewives of Atlanta fans were shocked when Porsha Williams announced that she was in a relationship with Simon Guobadia. First of all, Simon was the recent ex of Porsha’s RHOA co-star, and supposed friend, Falynn Pina (previously Falynn Guobadia.)

“For all of you that need facts, I get the optics, but Simon filed for divorce from a previous marriage in January,” Porsha wrote on Instagram. “I had nothing to do with their divorce filing. Falynn and I are not friends, and Simon’s divorce has been settled.”

Simon confirmed that he proposed to Porsha in an Instagram post on May 11, 2021. The duo had been dating for one month. But Falynn and Simon’s divorce wasn’t finalized yet. The timeline for this romance was sketchy at best.

Porsha’s RHOA co-stars weren’t feeling her new relationship. She called her co-stars “shady as hell.”

In September of 2021, Porsha announced that she was turning in her peach after a decade on RHOA. The uproar over Porsha’s lack of girl code with Falynn and her speedy engagement to Simon may have played a role in her decision. She also landed a spinoff, titled Porsha’s Family Matters, which followed her efforts to blend her family with Simon’s family.

After all, Porsha and Simon planned to have three weddings. “He’s African so we will have our native law and custom ceremony and a regular wedding, and then we’ll have another wedding at one of the houses that are out of the country,” Porsha stated.

She accidentally gave the internet a sneak peek of her wedding gown while on Instagram Live. Porsha was laughing with her sister, Lauren Williams, when she realized that her dress was visible in the background.

People reported that Simon and Porsha got married on November 25, 2022, during a Nigerian native law and custom ceremony. The couple tied the knot in front of 250 guests at the Four Seasons Hotel Atlanta.

“I am ridiculously excited. I am just so ready,” Porsha told People before the wedding. “I mean, I know I’m marrying the love of my life, and it’s just going to solidify our relationship and our family bond. I’m calm and excited.”

The couple will wed again on November 26, 2022, in an American ceremony. Dealing with her seven outfit changes over the two days was the only reason that Porsha was “anxious.” She said, “It’s going to be a true fashion extravaganza. I just couldn’t turn any dresses down! If a wedding dress came my way, and I loved it, I got it,” the bride-to-be added.

For the Nigerian wedding ceremony, Porsha wore a red gown customary for an Edo bride designed by Lakimmy. Simon is from Benin City in the Edo State of Nigeria. Porsha wore an okuku, which is a headpiece adorned with coral beads from Benin.

Porsha changed into one gold gown and one royal blue gown designed by Tabik. Wedding guests were asked to sport formal or traditional Nigerian attire in teal and purple.

Simon and Porsha provided the cultural fabric to make the attire for their family members for the wedding. “I personally chose the fabrics that they’re going to be wearing, including their head wrap, their gele. I chose all of the colors, everything,” Porsha remarked. “I should be a stylist after this!” The RHOA alum added, “It’s going to be a beautiful expression of fashion, love, and family.”

A spokesperson from each side of the couple’s family led the ceremony, which also included traditional Benin dancers and singers.

For the reception, Porsha wanted her wedding guests to feel transported to Nigeria. “The whole room should be transformed with beautiful colors of browns and rose golds and tans and creams. It should be really, really beautiful and give you that authentic African feel,” Porsha explained. “The other thing I wanted was trees in the room.”

A local restaurant, Little Lagos, provided traditional Benin delicacies like meat pies, snails, egusi, and okra stew. Steaks, lobsters, and cornbread were also served. The wedding cake was a Benin cake.

Congratulations to Porsha and Simon!

Gabby Windey and Vinny Guadagnino Exchange Flirty Instagram Messages

Gabby Windey and Vinny Guadagnino Exchange Flirty Instagram Messages

Bachelorette Gabby Windey raised some eyebrows among her fans recently, following a series of very flirty exchanges with her Dancing With The Stars co-star Vinny Guadagnino.

Now the former Denver Broncos cheerleader is setting the record straight, according to Page Six.

“I mean we’re friends,” she said of the Jersey Shore alum. “Apparently both of us just like to kind of stir the [pot]. Which is, like, funny. But [the buzz] did happen out of nowhere.”

Gabby’s DWTS partner Val Chmerkovskiy added to the conversation, saying, “It was an inside joke that got away.”

Fans wondered if there could be a romance brewing between the two reality stars — both of whom were cast on Season 31 of DWTS — after reading their flirtatious messages to each other on Instagram.

Last week Gabby celebrated her spot in the DWTS finale with an Instagram post, “I’m filled with so many different emotions – excitement, fear, gratitude, and mourning that this experience will soon end. Thank you to everyone who has continued to support us and I hope to make you proud next week!!”

Vinny congratulated his friend with the playful comment, “Good job baby mamma,” to which Gabby coyly responded, “My main man.”

That same day, Vinny posted an encouraging mantra to his social media, “stop looking for the one . . . be the one, and let them all come to you.”

“Omw (on my way),” Gabby flirtatiously responded.

And before that, the former MTV star had called the Bachelorette alum “as basic as a Starbucks on sunset blvd,” to which she cheekily replied, “if that’s wrong I don’t wanna be right.”

Gabby‘s coquettish exchanges with Vinny seemed especially significant to fans as, she had so recently split from fiancé Erich Schwer. A little post breakup fling, perhaps?

Gabby and Erich got engaged during the Season 19 finale of The Bachelorette, which aired in September. But the couple announced a parting of their ways recently.

“The end of our relationship happened because we weren’t completely in step and in sync with each other in our common goals or just the way we approach life,” Gabby shared during the Nov. 14th episode of the ballroom dance competition.

She quickly added that she and the New Jersey native “weren’t each other’s best match” either, a sentiment he also echoed. They do seem to have a good friendship, though.

Gabby concluded her run on DWTS last night scoring two sets of perfect 10’s from all four judges. She came in second place after Tik Tok star Charli D’Amelio, who likewise received two sets of perfect scores from the judges. But Charli‘s nearly 150 million Tik Tok followers likely kept the mirror ball out of Gabby‘s hands.

Both Charli and Gabby are going on the DWTS Live Tour this spring, however. As is Vinny. I’d score the probability that the flirty friendship will continue a pretty solid 10.

TELL US – DID YOU EXPECT GABBY TO WIN DWTS? DO YOU BELIEVE GABBY AND VINNY ARE “JUST FRIENDS?” DO YOU THINK THERE’S MORE TO THEIR RELATIONSHIP THAN THAT?

Survivor 43 Episode 10 Recap: Anatomy Of A Blindside

Survivor 43 Episode 10 Recap: Anatomy Of A Blindside

For it being the day before Thanksgiving, this episode of Survivor was no turkey. We are watching some incredible players enter the home-stretch of a long and grueling game, and there’s almost zero dead weight. As discussed at Tribal Council, this is a game chock-full of deadly assassins. There is a precision to who is being targeted, and Jesse even gave us a three-step breakdown as to how to pull off a perfect blindside.

In the end, it was the “warrior” Noelle who took the silent proverbial bullet, but she didn’t go down without carving out a spot in Survivor history. A true champion and an inspiration all season, Noelle’s comeback to win the Reward Challenge was a sight to behold. As it was playing out, I was readying a number of complaints aimed at the show’s producers, about how unfair it was to have a balancing be part of a competition in a season where an amputee is competing. I’m sure a number of viewers were thinking the same. And it never occurred to me that Noelle would come back to win the challenge…as a seasoned Survivor-watcher, we are used to the cameras lingering on “the one who has fallen behind” during a challenge, where their story is about personal triumph, or “digging deep” to complete the challenge, but hardly ever about how they stage a massive come-from-behind, improbable and nearly impossible victory.

Kudos to Noelle for never giving up and proving everyone wrong. It was a fitting end to her story, as she has been one of the more persistent competitors this season. As the others described, every time they’ve tried to take out her allies, she has been able to regroup. But as fierce a warrior as she is, there are just too many savvy strategic masterminds left in the game for her to have been able to overcome.

On the strategy-front, some major developments occurred during this week’s episode, that set-up what we may see play out over the coming weeks, and the final stretch of episodes. One, Sami‘s game has been all but exposed. To the viewer’s eyes, Sami has played a very effective “down-the-middle” game, but revealing the plan at the last minute to Karla before last week’s Tribal Council has painted Sami a “flip-flopper” by the rest of the tribe. They’re on to him, and the implication is that the “flip-flopper” style of game isn’t really respected…Sami may not be winning material after all, unless he makes some strong and surprising moves down the stretch.

Secondly, Jesse and Cody are – as Cody says – “steering the ship.” It’s true, as they are indeed the true power couple left in the game as we are now down to just seven players remaining. But importantly, Gabler sees it. Gabler is tucked in nicely and is in my view the real person in the middle of everything. With so many big fish to fry, Gabler may just have what it takes to navigate his way to the end, and win. You’ve heard it hear first. Remember though that simply noticing the Jesse/Cody power duo is only half the battle…someone is going to need to act on it, and soon, if they’re going to overcome it. Not only are Jesse/Cody calling the shots, but they have TWO Idols. An Immunity Idol hasn’t been played successfully yet in this “new era” of Survivor (defined as every season beyond Season 40), but with a little luck on that front, Jesse/Cody may not be able to be stopped, regardless.

While Karla still has an Idol, it appears that she has lost a bit of control over her game after last week’s vote. But don’t underestimate her. Cassidy too, is a sneaky pick to go far as she’s just under-the-radar enough to become a threat…and winning her first Individual Immunity only goes to raise her profile. Owen, of all of the remaining seven, seems like the only one left who has not at all been in control of his own game…he continues to vote outside the majority alliance, and nobody seems to view him as a real threat to win.

Where things go from here is anyone’s guess, but I’m stoked that such a high-caliber group of players are still remaining. In a typical season, we’d see many of them blindsided much earlier on, so it’s rare that so many great strategic players have made it so far in the game. But something’s gotta give, and time is running out.

Episode Take-Away: This was a solid episode (as is usually the case with the Thanksgiving Eve episode), and a perfect ending note to Noelle‘s story. I love that I feel invested in the players that are left and I truly don’t like the thought of any more of them going home. Of course, there can only be one winner, and I have absolutely no idea who would be considered the front-runner at this point. Is there one? I feel like Jesse and Cody are in great shape if they can just get through one more vote, and if they don’t catch on to how good Gabler is playing this game, that could end up being their fatal flaw. Heck, it may end up being everyone’s fatal flaw, should they keep him around until it’s too late.

Out this week: Noelle

Won Immunity: Cassidy (1)

Vote Result: No advantages or Idols were played. 5 – Noelle (Jesse, Cody, Karla, Gabler, Cassidy), 2 – Karla (Sami, Owen), 1 – Sami (Noelle).

Current Advantage List:

• Jesse – 2 Immunity Idols (One was Cody’s, Jesse mentioned Cody asked for his back but it wasn’t confirmed on-air)
• Karla – 1 Immunity Idol

Next Week’s Episode: Gabler has a plan for a Final Three…Boatmail sends the tribes scrambling through the jungle…and an underwater challenge has players literally gasping for air. Don’t miss it!
