Kate Chastain is ready to set sail on her latest charter: motherhood. The Below Deck alum revealed she is pregnant with her first child, debuting her baby bump in an Instagram post announcing the...Fans of Brandon Jones and Serene Russell will be happy to know that the couple is still going strong following their engagement on the season finale of Bachelor in Paradise.
“Every day has been a journey, like something new every day,” Serene told People. Even though her fiancé jokingly shot back, “I’m so sick of that word, ‘journey!'” Brandon admitted to enjoying his life with Serene. “No, every day, it’s been great,” he stated.
The Portland native says that he and Serene are experiencing “a whole new learning experience,” through which they are “growing closer.”
Arguably BIP Season 8’s cutest and most drama-free couple, Serene and Brandon are relishing being able to go out in public together and no longer having to keep their relationship a secret.
Serene admitted to having difficulty with the secrecy while the show was still airing. “We just moved in together in San Diego and so, you know, we were like under wraps,” she said. “I was just like getting the apartment ready and like trying to sneak around so no one would see me.”
Brandon added, “We were wearing wigs and everything like that, trying to sneak out to dinner and stuff. So it’s been fun, it’s been exciting.”

Even though it was exciting at the time, Brandon was relieved to be done with the hiding and sneaking around. He compared being a public couple to the feeling of being able to loosen your belt after Thanksgiving dinner. “And you’re like, ‘Ahhh,'” Brandon said. “We can finally relax and be ourselves. Yeah, so it’s been good.”
The new couple are also enjoying time with their families during the holidays. They had a “wonderful” Thanksgiving in Oklahoma with Serene‘s family, and will soon travel to Oregon for a Jones family Christmas.
Serene also shared that no serious wedding planning has begun. “We’re enjoying the engagement right now,” Brandon said.
Serene previously told People, “We’ve landed on 2024, and we’re starting to think what time of year we want to get married in, what kind of wedding we like, do we want it more in the day or at night?” She added, “We’re starting to have these fun little conversations.”
As one of the calmest, most stable couples to come out of BIP 2022, I’m really happy to hear that Brandon and Serene are making plans together, enjoying each other’s company and just doing “normal” couple things. I wish them nothing but happiness in their life together.

The Big Apple is bringing big glitz, big glamour and big challenges. In an exclusive sneak peek of Netflix's Bling Empire: New York, which E! News can reveal premieres Jan. 20, 2023, Dorothy...Melissa Gorga reveals her hopes that Season 13 of the Real Housewives of New Jersey will help her and Teresa Giudice mend their broken relationship. The pair have been in an intense fight since their forthcoming season was airing, and by the sounds of it, things were heated between the two families.
When asked what makes this upcoming season different, Melissa told US Weekly, “Unfortunately, you’re gonna feel like it’s the beginning all over again. That’s what’s unfortunate about it,” she added.
Earlier seasons of RHONJ featured a lot of family drama between Joe Gorga, Joe Giudice, Teresa, and Melissa. Physical fights, verbal insults, and estrangement. Viewers should buckle up because it sounds like we’re set to go down that road again.
The family’s fighting has gotten so bad recently that not only was the RHONJ panel split in two at BravoCon, but they are also having separate holiday parties this year. Melissa revealed, “There will be sprinkle cookies everywhere.”
Even though we have several weeks until the new season airs, Melissa said she’s hopeful about the newest season potentially bringing them back together. “I always hope it’s gonna help and I truly do from all angles, but sometimes it doesn’t because we end up on that couch in the reunion wanting to go crazy,” she explained.
Jackie Goldschneider, another Jersey Housewife who knows a thing or two about fighting with Teresa, said she’s sure season 13 will not fix the beef between Teresa and Melissa.

“No, I can say with 100 percent confidence, no matter how bad the fighting in the season is, it’s worse when you’re watching it back and all the social media fighting goes on. Social media is a disaster,” Jackie stated.
I would have to agree. Social media has really put some Housewives in a very bad spot, and some just don’t care. At this point, we know the Giudice’s unfollowed the Gorgas.
Melissa said their newest fight is a “slow burn,” while her bestie, Margaret Josephs, agreed.
“I never thought it was going to explode the way that it did. I think that we have some new ladies on the cast that bring some great moments,” Margaret said. She continued, “And I think that’s really what makes [season 13] different. I think our cast has been so amazing. The last few years we haven’t had any change.” Margaret added, “And I think adding the new ladies into the mix brings a new perspective.”
I can’t wait. I’m always excited for RHONJ to air because their cast does the best with concealing the season’s stories and protecting the tea from spilling. That always makes my viewing experience much more pleasurable.

The Real Housewives of Miami Season 5 has just launched on Peacock, and it is everything. Not only are the ladies clocked in and ready to go, we KNOW that we’re getting one of the most intense Bravo divorces ever when it comes to Lenny Hochstein and Lisa Hochstein.
When talking about the day Lenny asked the RHOM star for a divorce, she told People, “It was a knife to the heart.”
“My life changed completely in the blink of an eye — and I didn’t see it coming whatsoever,” she said. Fans familiar with the show could probably see this coming. Lenny wasn’t very affectionate towards Lisa during Season 4, so seeing the headlines that he had a girlfriend while still married was not a shocker at all.
“I still can’t wrap my brain around the day he told me he wanted out,” Lisa said, which apparently happened a few days after the couple filmed an event for RHOM. “We were sleeping in the same bed for the last 15 years up until that day he told dropped the bomb on me. And now, suddenly, he wanted out? I felt so blindsided,” Lisa added.
There’s an intense hot-mic moment that happens at the end of episode 4, where Lenny spills the beans to his friend about wanting to separate from Lisa. Clearly, I wasn’t there, but I’m curious if Lisa really was as blindsided as she says she was. I mean, Lenny is NO Mauricio Umansky here, but still. No idea at all?
Lisa said, “He wasn’t sympathetic or empathetic at all about it either.” She continued, “It wasn’t a, ‘Let’s sit down and have a talk. I’m sorry that this isn’t what I want anymore.’ It was a cold, ‘I’m going to start dating, whether you like it or not,’ basically. It was completely shocking and devastating.” Lisa added, “I just couldn’t believe that the man I had been with for this long was treating me this way.”
Lisa said that she was committed to working on issues with Lenny to ensure they were in a better place for the sake of their children. “Obviously, anyone can see watching the episodes that our marriage wasn’t in the best place,” she explained to People. “But I was trying to be a great wife and trying my hardest to make us strong again.”
The RHOM star stated, “I was cooking his favorite meals, creating happy memories with our kids — anything I could do to repair it. So it wasn’t that I was ignoring our problems, I was just desperately trying to fix this. And the best I could just wasn’t good enough for him,” she added.
It pains me to hear her say this because she is not the cause of Lenny being unfaithful. That’s something he has to work out between himself and a therapist. In the meantime, Lisa, we got you! The fans are watching and already having a field-day with Lenny and his side-chick on social media. This is your year, and I’m here for it.
