Congratulations are in order for the Coopers! The Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard power couple are expecting their first child after enjoying their first year of marriage together.

Silas Cooper and Jasmine Ellis Cooper were newly married when they filmed the premiere season of Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard. Fans enjoyed getting to know the couple’s dynamic, though a few moments raised eyebrows. Such as Silas complaining that his breakfast schedule was thrown into shambles.

But with their debut on reality TV successfully behind them, Silas and Jasmine are thrilled to share their special pregnancy news with fans.

Jasmine plans to balance motherhood and her career

The 31-year-old reality TV star exclusively revealed her pregnancy to People. She spoke with excitement of entering the “mom era!”

“We have been trying for a little while. It’s not like we were preventing, to be honest. One day, I was just feeling a little weird and, you know how you have a gut feeling? I took a test and it came out positive,” she explained.

Jasmine gushed about spilling the beans to her husband. Of course, she wanted to make the moment special. Silas received the news in the most heart-warming manner.

“Everything in my mind that I had envisioned on how I was going to tell him — because we’ve both wanted to be parents and build a family — completely just went out the window. I literally just ran into the other room, I jumped on him and said, ‘We’re pregnant! We did it!'” she revealed.

“He got really emotional and shed a tear or two. It was really exciting and very simple. I wish I would have documented it, but the way he reacted is cemented in my brain,” Jasmine continued.

Did the other Martha’s Vineyard stars know?

The couple share a very special link with their Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard co-stars as Jasmine was newly pregnant while filming. She chose to keep the news under wraps until she passed 12 weeks gestation. Once that critical point was crossed, she told her co-stars that she and Silas were expecting a baby boy.

“Initially, just my family knew. And then we found out that we were having a boy, which is really exciting,” Jasmine explained. “Going into this season filming Summer House, I knew that I was going to let them know, but I really wanted to cross over that barrier from first trimester to second trimester, so as soon as I was in the clear and that second trimester hit, I let my castmates know.”

“The way it plays out this season is actually really funny. Some people maybe suspected, but for the most part, I don’t think they had any idea. It’s going to be fun for the viewers to watch. I know that it’s going to be really special,” she added.

Jasmine is currently handling the pregnancy without the comfort of her husband close by. Silas is currently deployed in Poland and the two keep in touch “via WhatsApp.”

The separation has not dampened Jasmine’s excitement though. She has a name picked out already and is “excited to join the boy mom gang.”

Her pregnancy has been going smoothly. Jasmine has no complaints, “outside of the cravings (savory, spicy foods) and Pilates getting a little harder to do, it’s been really beautiful. I think my son is really doing me well.”

Reflecting on a year of marriage

Reflecting on the first year of married life and all the surprises that came with it, Jasmine acknowledged that is “was not the easiest.”

“It was very complex and we were pulled in so many different directions,” she said. “So to be at this point now feels like a blessing, like a reward for just staying committed to our family. It’s exciting and I know that it’s hard for him, being so far from me. He’s always worried if I’m okay, if I’m eating enough, if I have everything I need, and I have to reassure him that we’re good. I have an amazing doula, an amazing hospital that I’m going to give birth at, and I’m holding it down over here while he’s holding it down for the country over there.”

Silas and Jasmine are “looking forward to learning each other in this new way,” as they step into the roles of parenthood. Jasmine has high hopes for her child’s future.

“I think Silas is going to be a phenomenal role model and father, and just having fun moments at home,” she gushed. “Him being able to come home to the family we’re building is what I look forward to the most, the little moments like the movie nights, the forts, the trips, the weird things that kids do. I’m looking forward to that and all the holidays for sure.”

As for her own feelings about becoming a mother, Jasmine is hoping juggle a career and a baby.

She concluded, “It’s really special to approach motherhood, knowing all the phenomenal stories centered around youth and children that are out there. I’m looking forward to getting my career out there, and my biggest hope is to continue to collaborate with people I want to work with, telling the stories I want to tell outside of Summer House: Martha’a Vineyard, so I’m looking forward to balancing that with motherhood.”

Baby Cooper is due to enter the world in February 2024.

Paul and Trish Have Major Fight in Big Brother UK: ‘You Are a Bully’

Photo by: ITV Plc

Tensions reached boiling point in the Big Brother UK house last night (October 2, 2023), as spinoff show Late and Live was forced to cut away from the drama. Now, it’s been revealed that Paul and Trish had a huge fight following Paul’s childish behavior towards the other housemates. Here’s everything that went down, which will play out in tonight’s episode.

Paul attacked Noky, so Trish stood up for her

The drama started after fan favorite housemate Yinrun was rewarded with a party for passing a secret mission. She was only able to select six housemates to join her. She chose Chanelle, Jenkin, Tom, Trish, Dylan, and Noky. Paul later took it upon himself to try and ruin the party because he wasn’t invited, throwing balls of cling film down at the partygoers. “Your little dickhead party, I’m sick of it,” he said to them.

He then broke into the party, taking two of the cocktails over to the sink, and threatened to pour them away. “Let’s play a game,” he said. Jenkin hit right back, saying, “Play your own fucking game, you prick. Paul, grow the fuck up you fucking child.”

Noky, simply watching the drama unfold, was then attacked by Paul. “What are you staring at?” he asked, before she replied, “You, of course.”

“You’re strange, you just stare at me and don’t say a word,” he snapped. “Weird.” Trish then returned to the party, and Noky filled her in on the interaction.

“You are a bully,” Trish shouted to Paul from downstairs. “Why am I a bully?” he asked. “You know why you’re a bully, don’t act stupid,” she said. “Calm your voice down Trish,” came the response. “Are you talking about Noky, is that what you’re talking about?”

“So you know? So you know who you’ve been bullying?” Trish hit back. “You are a bully.”

Yes, Paul has been involved in bullying behavior before his fight with Trish

This isn’t the first time Paul has had Noky in his sights. He told her that he thought she was “fake” one afternoon, before getting into her bed later that night and threatening to get his “arse” out on the sheets. When she returned to the bedroom, and found Paul in her bed, Noky looked incredibly uncomfortable.

Of course, the first line of defense for a bully is to say that they were simply trying to joke around and have a laugh. Expect plenty of that when Paul is asked to explain his actions. Hopefully, he’ll be evicted from the house in tonight’s double eviction.

Big Brother UK continues six nights a week, Sunday – Friday on ITV2 and ITVX.

Southern Charm Season 9, Episode 8 Recap: Bra Gate

Bravo/YouTube

There is nothing like a Southern Charm guys’ weekend, especially when the former king of chaos, Shep Rose, deems that a getaway is very much needed. Thankfully, Shep and his silver spoon are able to whisk his friends away to his family home in the North Carolina mountains. Sadly, the vibe gave more of a Cabin in the Woods feel as Rod Razavi discovered that there had been a secret rendezvous between Olivia Flowers and Austen Kroll. Grief will make you do some crazy things, like get back with an ex-boyfriend who walked all over you. Here’s everything that went down in Episode 8 of Southern Charm Season 9.

The clean up

Bravo/YouTube

After a tense dinner in honor of Olivia, the new Southern Charm episode opens up with JT Thomas and Rod cleaning up the clubhouse. Sadly, some of the mess just couldn’t be swept under the rug. 

Austen and Olivia decided to meet up and tackle their journey to healing their friendship, though again, the Trop Hop brewer isn’t exactly best friend material. Austen opens up about what he has learned in therapy, sharing that he has learned he has to open up to those close to him in his life and let them know how he is feeling. He then goes on to tell Olivia just how important she is to him. Yet, he still betrayed her…

Austen then shared that the naked photo between Taylor Ann Green, who is clearly no choir girl, and Whitney Sudler-Smith “threw me for a fu*king loop.” Olivia added, “That was such a strange decision.” Naturally, Olivia’s curiosity spiked as she asked the 36-year-old Charlotte native if he had ever received a nude from Taylor, with Austen noting, “I never got a nudie from Taylor.” The ever-manipulating Austen shared that the revelation of a nude pic had made him sad and felt Olivia didn’t care about their friendship. Yes, folks, he is just reeling her in.
 

Austen, the cad

Bravo/YouTube

While Austen is talking about feelings, the cogs are turning in Olivia’s head as she voices her concerns, sharing, “I want to be able to trust you and get back there, I just don’t know how.” Somehow, Austen takes the criticism on the chin, claiming he understood, telling Olivia, “I do love you, and I know that I’ve hurt you, but I just know that you and I are supposed to be in each other’s lives.” 

Shep is peeved in Southern Charm Episode 8

Bravo/YouTube

Meanwhile, Shep decided to take it upon himself to confront his longtime friend, Whitney, about accepting the nude selfie from his former lover. Angrily, Shep tells Whitney, “You should have told me about the nude photo just right off the bat. And you showed it to everyone else. It’s not cool.” Whitney, who is 55 and should definitely know better, revealed he thought that the message was “just a joke” and didn’t intentionally hide the information from Shep as he says, “Just so you know, I deleted it.” Yet Whitney acted as if he wanted a gold medal for pressing erase. Shep really stood up for Taylor as he urged his friend to support Taylor as she still was spiraling from their breakup. 

Bra vs. bro

Bravo/YouTube

The party bus headed to Linville, North Carolina, was everything you thought it would be. Craig Conover was asking some tough questions. The Sew It Down South founder jokingly (we hope to God) asked, “Do you think panda bears are real? I really wanted them to be real.” JT, the scholar he is, happily tells his deluded friend that pandas do exist. Craig then responded, “There’s just no evidence.” Jesus, take the wheel. 

Upon arriving at the cabin, the men of Charleston start drinking and cooking heart-shaped burgers in honor of Valentine’s Day. The dinner topic of whether Austen and Olivia hooked up came to light. Rod, who honestly I am rooting for and shows that we as viewers deserve a better quality of guy on Southern Charm, tells JT that a friend of his had been over to Austen’s home and saw an unclaimed bra sitting on the ottoman. Cue the Scooby Doo music. 

Rod sorrowfully notes, “He had Olivia over, so this is assuming that’s hers.” Craig steps out after recovering from the idea that pandas will never exist (dummy) and calls out Austen. The very single lad states, for the record, “We met up in the morning for coffee just to talk. And then we went to lunch, and she literally was like, ‘Honestly, I just want to watch a movie at your house. That’s just what we do. We used to do it so often. I was like, ‘Yeah, of course.'”

Austen has a track record of lying 

Bravo/YouTube

Something smells fishy, and it’s not the heart-shaped burgers. Austen had a whole story down – they watched Olivia’s favorite movie, Three Quarters, they laughed, they joked, and “then guess who left her fucking bra on like my little pouf?” Ugg, it all feels so gross that Austen is all but bragging about yet another conquest.

Thankfully, JT came to the rescue and defended Rod’s honor, noting how upset he really was about the issue since he had been courting her. Rod pipes up, explaining, “I heard that Olivia and you hung out on Thursday, and then I was out with a girlfriend of mine, and she told me that there was a bra on the ottoman.” A hush came over the dinner table, with everyone holding their breath.

Austen wasted no time clapping back, saying, “Nothing happened. We cuddled a little bit. She kissed me right on the chest, and she fucking left.” The episode ended with the two talking in private and Austen doubling down that nothing happened. But we know Austen, and we know his track record – something is bound to bubble to the surface.

Southern Charm Season 9 airs Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo.

Shannon Beador Sentenced to Three Years Probation for DUI, Prosecution Rips Judge for Not Sending ‘Serious’ Message

(Photo by: Charles Sykes/Bravo via Getty Images)

Get ready to celebrate, Shannon Beador fans! Your favorite drunk driver has been to court and will remain unincarcerated. But did you really think Shan would see any severe consequences from her DUI and hit-and-run arrest?

Of course you didn’t. In a moment she’s likely not to forget if she even remembers it at all, Shannon drove while intoxicated back in September. She ran into someone’s home and then parked her car in the middle of the street. When cops found her, Shannon blew 3x over the legal blood alcohol content.

So let’s take a look at what the Real Housewives of Orange County star will face going forward, now that her life of crime is in the rearview. Hopefully. TMZ has all of the details.

3 years probation …

In a very quick court session, prosecution wanted jail for Shannon but the judge said “Nope!” Instead, she’ll get three years of probation. Shan will also have to complete 40 hours of community service and she must attend a 9-month alcohol program. There will also be some miscellaneous fines and fees for her to pay.

The judge dismissed Shannon’s one count of hit-and-run property damage probably because she’s already paid for the repairs in full. She also apologized to the homeowner for taking out their curbside appeal.

Orange County D.A. Todd Spitzer sounds like he’s more of a Real Housewives of Beverly Hills kind of guy because he wanted the judge to put Shan in jail for 30 days. Obviously, the judge wants her to make it to BravoCon.

Todd Spitzer is not pleased

The D.A. continued sharing his thoughts after the trial was over. Needless to say, he is incredibly unhappy Shannon’s consequences weren’t more harsh. ”Driving under the influence must have consequences,” he began.

“When a judge gives someone who not only drove with a blood alcohol level of .24 – three times the legal limit – but then ran away from the scene of an [sic] DUI collision a slap on the wrist, you are sending a message that DUIs are not serious crimes that demand accountability,” he added.

The D.A. continued his rant, ”Judge London clearly felt otherwise and not only gave her a court offer, but dismissed the hit and run charge in the interest of justice. This is not justice. We as a society need to wake up and address the very real – and often deadly – consequences of driving under the influence.”

While nothing was mentioned about Shannon’s driver’s license being suspended, I found this regarding California law: “If you are convicted of a first-time DUI in a California criminal court, the conviction automatically triggers a license suspension of six months under Vehicle Code 13352. Once you are convicted, the court notifies the DMV, which imposes the suspension.”

So if nothing else, Shannon will be off the road for at least six months. Stay safe Newport Beach!
