New mom Gypsy-Rose Blanchard debuted a fresh haircut in her latest Instagram photos two months after welcoming daughter Aurora with Ken Urker. Blanchard, who kicked off the year in the best way possible by welcoming her baby girl with Urker, has spent a wholesome couple of weeks with her growing family. Now, she is taking on motherhood and mom fashion one step at a time as she also prepares for the premiere of “Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock-up” Season 2.
Gypsy-Rose Blanchard flaunts new haircut in Instagram photos
Gypsy-Rose Blanchard’s Instagram photos offered glimpses of her motherhood journey as she took on mom fashion with a new haircut in a “new mom and new me” way. She and her boyfriend, Ken Urker, welcomed their baby girl, Aurora Raina Urker, in late December, proving that there couldn’t have been a better way to kick off 2025. The couple has since shared sneak peeks into their growing family as they undertake parenting roles.
Besides that, Blanchard, a former-inmate-turned-reality-star, seemingly changed her style, opting for trendier choices as she embraced motherhood with open arms. She recently shared her hair transformation photos on social media, debuting a sleek-looking bob with the caption, “New year, new mom, new haircut, new me.” The fresh look came just in time for the premiere of her documentary series “Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock-up” Season 2 on Lifetime. The first season of the docuseries premiered last July, only months after her prison release.
In the haircut selfie photos, Gypsy-Rose Blanchard appeared quite stylish in a white halterneck waistcoat that went hand-in-hand with her makeover. Shortly after, she posted another mirror selfie of her carrying her baby daughter, Aurora, in a baby carrier while flaunting her new hair makeover. Blanchard has also been opening up about her journey as a victim of Munchausen syndrome by proxy and her life after her release from prison, where she served nearly eight years, in December 2023.

Welcome back for the Below Deck Down Under Season 3, Episode 6 recap. This week, the drama continues via a new episode, hotly titled “The Captain’s Lounge.” With an ousted sous-chef and a messy marriage-minded Bosun wreaking havoc on morale, this yacht might need to turn back towards port to dole out some punishments. If you missed it, here is everything that went down in BDDU Season 3, Episode 6.

Below Deck Down Under Season 3, Episode 6 saw Tzarina meeting her new sous-chef, Alesia Bean. The arrival of Alesia means one more female is onboard, which Wihan appreciates. However, the charter guests experienced a rough start last week after Wihan failed to address an issue with a jetski, causing a non-swimmer to fall into the ocean. So now the deck team has to go all out to ensure their guests leave happy, not haggard.

This week picks up with Wihan on a jet ski looking confused. Thankfully, Johnny knows what to do. Johnny rescues and comforts India, their afflicted guest. When the guest sitting behind Wihan asks if they can help, Wihan springs back to life, moving his jet ski closer to Johnny.
After helping India onto his ski, Wihan returns to the yacht with his two passengers. Captain Jason is in the water, helping entertain their guests. Meanwhile, Johnny is left alone with the water-filled ski, which continues sinking every minute.
Wihan tells Captain Jason that he must return to help Johnny. He fails to note his part, however. Wihan ignored his deck team, who urged him to drain and test the jet ski before this event. This key omitted detail will likely cause Captain Jason to see red.
Onboard, Adair tends to India, who thankfully only has a surface scratch. Once Wihan returns to Johnny, they work to tie the sinking ski to his, pulling it quickly back to the yacht. However, the ski capsizes, so Captain Jason has to call on the lesser-seen engineers to help pull it out of the waves.
Lara pours a stiff drink for India before agreeing with Captain Jason that they must go “all out” at dinner to help salvage this charter. To do this, they will create a Captain’s Lounge-styled bar for their guests. In the galley, Tzarina hugs Wihan, who sighs in his confessional after she yells “I love you” at his retreating backside.

Wihan approaches Harry and Johnny, asking his deck team what happened to the jet ski. Johnny explains that the ski started sinking when the guest eased up on the gas. Wihan wants them to learn from this experience.
Last week, the guests sent back half their entree plates. Tzarina hopes to win them over with a better, albeit less intricate, meal that night.
Captain Jason calls Wihan to the wheelhouse. Wihan explains that he saw everything. When the guest took their hand off the gas, it capsized, Wihan says. Captain Jason rightfully calls this odd.
Wihan adds that he drained the ski that morning before putting it in the water, but he did not then test it for any leaks. Captain Jason tells Wihan to do better.
Lara grabs Wihan next. Lara knows that Wihan used to strip. Tonight, he will return to his roots to help please their guests, Lara tells him. Wihan happily agrees.
Harry asks Wihan about his lady situationships on board. Wihan notes that he is in a “weird place,” as his kiss with Tzarina was just for fun. Likewise, maybe he “shouldn’t have kissed Marina,” Wihan states.
Harry asks Wihan how he might fix this mess. Wihan laments that he is unsure, as he has not given either woman much attention.

Later in the galley, Tzarina asks Bri about her future with Harry, who happens to walk into the room and overhear, sending them all into giggles. Nevertheless, the crew changes for their final dinner service with these guests.
Tzarina nails her meal. Marina, however, needs help in the cabins, so Adair rushes to her aid. Adair does what she can, leaving the bathrooms for Marina to complete. Frustrated, Marina radios for help, asking where Adair has gone.
Marina vents to Lara, telling her that Adair refused to clean the bathrooms. This statement annoys Lara.
Captain Jason appears in a tiny robe, posing on the couch, which YAS. Lara brings the guests down to his new lounge bar, and just like me, these ladies loved what they saw.
As Captain Jason smokes on his fake cigar, Wihan appears, stripping like there is no tomorrow. Marina digs his dance skills, but Wihan keeps confusing her with his hot and cold vibes.
Harry says goodnight to Bri. He thinks they are in a solid place. But Bri does not. She does know where she stands with Harry.
Adair encounters Wihan on deck the following morning. Wihan giggles as she speaks, clearly smitten with the last remaining untouched-by-him female on board. As Johnny enters, Wihan admits that he is in love with Adair.

Lara calls Wihan to the bridge, telling Captain Jason that Adair refused to clean the bathrooms. Wihan enters as Lara is explaining. Captain Jason urges his two department heads to improve communications with their shared deck stew.
Lara radios for Adair to head to the cabins. Wihan radios back that he prefers Adair start on deck. Adair sighs. Meanwhile, Lara, Bri, and Tzarina dance in the galley, happy for a night off once their guests depart.
The new sous chef is arriving, so Johnny is moving into the boy’s cabin. Adair speaks with Marina, who tells Adair she appreciates her help.
The guests depart. Johnny gets the disco ball headset. Alesia Bean, the new sous-chef, arrives. Alesia is green, she admits, but Tzarina loves her energy.
So does Wihan. Cool cool.
That night, Tzarina hands Wihan a rose at the bar. Wihan pulls her in for a motorboating hug. He likes it. But his heart remains with Adair, he admits in his confessional.
Wihan breaks up with Tzarina and Marina. Meanwhile, Johnny dances with Alesia. Johnny goes in for a kiss, but Alesia turns her head, telling him it is too soon. Alesia digs him, however, she admits.
In their vans, Lara tells a laughing Marina that Wihan is in love with Adair, yet Adair has no clue. Back on the yacht, Harry kisses Bri as Wihan makes out with Tzarina. Harry feels good about this night, but Bri was expecting more.

Olivia Rodrigo is living life to the fullest, and her recent photos are proof. The singer recently shared fun pictures on Instagram, updating fans about her life lately. The pop star is currently basking in the joy of headlining this year’s Glastonbury Festival, but she also celebrated another achievement that she deemed was “pretty close.” Rodrigo’s latest photo carousel was all things music and life, leaving fans to speculate about it being a potential album tease.
Olivia Rodrigo is finding joy in all her recent achievements, big or small. Over the weekend, the singer took to Instagram to give her fans a closer look at her life. The post came right in time to celebrate her headlining the Glastonbury Festival 2025. However, the singer felt there was yet another celebratory moment worth sharing with her followers. She revealed that her name was featured in the NYT crossword.
Rodrigo captioned the post, “Can’t think of anything more exciting than headlining Glastonbury but being in the NYT crossword is pretty close.” One of the pictures captured her name on the puzzle as the answer to “Pop star with the #1 albums “Sour” and “Guts.”” She also teased a picture of her posing with a red guitar, probably working on new music.
Rodrigo also looked back at her childhood in her recent Instagram post. She shared what appeared to be a throwback photo of herself celebrating her birthday. Wearing a casual white tee, the singer was all smiles, blissfully unaware of the pop sensation she was going to become in the next few years.
Other pictures included a cute pup, a car ride sun-kissed selfie, and a set of keyboards. Meanwhile, fans took to the comments section to congratulate Rodrigo on headlining the Glastonbury Festival 2025. Many speculated that the photos could be a potential hint for her next album.
On March 6, Glastonbury announced Olivia Rodrigo as one of their headliners this year, alongside The 1975, Charli XCX, Gracie Abrams, Neil Young, and more. The singer is scheduled to perform on June 29.
Among all the celebrities posting their Women’s Day tributes, Hailey Bieber probably takes the cake for putting up the sweetest post. The model celebrated motherhood with an adorable throwback photo of her being pregnant with her 6-month-old son, Jack Blues Bieber. Flaunting her baby bump on her Instagram Stories, the star expressed that it was the “wildest, coolest thing” she has ever done. She also dedicated a separate Instagram post, featuring the mother-son duo enjoying a sun-kissed date.
Hailey Bieber recalls ‘coolest’ thing she has done in baby bump photo
On March 8, the world celebrated women. Celebrities, including Hailey Bieber, joined the bandwagon, posting their celebratory moments as women. The Rhode founder, who gave birth to Jack Blues Bieber in August, took to Instagram to share her motherhood moments that left fans in awe. She shares her 6-month-old son with her husband, Justin Bieber.
To mark Women’s Day, Hailey Bieber took to her Instagram Stories to share a throwback photo of her pregnancy journey. Against a lush green background from her room’s window, the entrepreneur showed off her adorable baby bump, wearing a small pink crop top with grey leggings. Wishing everyone a Happy International Women’s Day, she called her pregnancy the “wildest, coolest thing” she has “ever done.”
Bieber further shared rare pictures of her son Jack on Instagram. It appears that the model, who prefers keeping her motherhood journey private, chose Women’s Day to pay homage to all the strong mothers. The pictures captured her sharing a sweet moment with her son in the sunny outdoors. Photos saw her looking fondly into her baby’s eyes while Jack grasped his mom’s face with his little hands.
Bieber’s son wore a red knitted hat as he tried to catch hold of the model’s straw hat in the second photo. Although Jack’s face wasn’t visible in the photos, it was enough to capture fans’ hearts. Netizens showered love for the mother-son duo in the comments section. Many couldn’t get enough of the baby’s tiny hands, while a few others called Bieber the “best mom.”
Previously, Justin Bieber marked his birthday with fun photos on Instagram, a few of which captured heartwarming photos of the family of three.

It’s been 546 long days since we last had a new episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. When we last saw them, Drew was singing to her estranged husband about their messy breakup. Her cousin was running around wreaking havoc. The show we loved and cherished had slowly faded away into a mess of nothingness.
Since then, the bigwigs at Bravo put on their thinking caps and spent as much time as they needed to get RHOA just right. We all wanted to trust and believe that Bravo could restore the once glorious franchise, but then a nasty little revenge porn scandal threatened to send Season 16 into a tailspin.
Despite the controversies, the premiere has arrived. Bravo made us wait all of this time, but was it worth the wait? We certainly think so. Keep reading for our full rundown on Real Housewives Atlanta Season 16, Episode 1, “Welcome Back Peaches.”
What happened in The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16, Episode 1?

In the RHOA Season 16 premiere, we hopped on Shamea’s elevator and got introduced to her fabulous circle of friends. Meanwhile, her bestie Porsha found herself caught in a sticky situation thanks to a legal threat from her estranged husband. The stress was so serious that she had to go to a strip club to decompress! By the end of the episode, we got a glimpse into Season 16’s first feud.

If you thought the RHOA Season 16 reboot was going to be all about Porsha, you couldn’t be more wrong. Of course, she’s a big part of this, but the premiere wasted no time establishing that it’s Shamea who is the nucleus of this group.
In the first five minutes of the episode, Shamea introduced us to her $9 million home, which is outfitted with more elevators than your local mall. If you wanted wealth out of this reboot, Shamea’s got it covered. She even gave the house a name, Sterling Hall, so we can add this to the map of Bravo landmarks.
As a longtime RHOA watcher, it feels a little shocking knowing that Shamea was just running around as Porsha’s sidekick this whole time. However, she made it clear in this premiere that she earned this promotion from second fiddle to main character.
While showcasing hr multimillion-dollar house, which was allegedly paid for through her husband’s HVAC work, she explained her connections to the original cast and the new friends she wants to introduce at her upcoming birthday party. It has Housewives written all over it, and that’s where Atlanta’s new chapter begins.

Drew spent her year away from the cameras adjusting to life without Ralph. She’s also been getting oddly close to Porsha’s ex, Dennis McKinley, the Hot Dog King. She claims it’s because he’s helping her with her music.
Kenya showed up at Drew’s house ready to talk about all of it, because yes, Kenya is a part of this show. You’d never know it based on the cast pictures, but she was present in the Season 16 premiere.
At Drew’s house, the two started talking about Dennis, and Kenya had a hard time wrapping her head around the idea of him helping Drew with a music career. If he’s in the studio with Drew, who’s going to cook the hot dogs?
“Apparently he’s been doing music for a very, very long time,” Drew told Kenya with a smile.
Of course, Kenya hit back with some very important follow-up questions. First of all, how does Porsha feel about this? Second of all, if he’s so big into music, why didn’t he produce a track for his baby’s mother? She’s a singer sometimes, too!
Kelli the Waffle Queen makes her debut

The first real newbie we met in the premiere was Kelli, and she’s one of those cast members who seems like they were printed at the Housewives factory. Seriously, she checks all of the boxes of your average Real Housewife star. She’s got money, she’s got twins, and she’s got a big mouth ready to spread some gossip.
Kelli nicknamed herself the Waffle Queen because she owns a chicken and waffle restaurant that exploded into a huge business. If you need gold-infused syrup for your waffles, she’s your girl.
In the premiere, Kelli established herself as the messy one of this new group. At a lunch with Shamea and Brit, she started stirring the pot. Someone has to do it.
The ladies were talking about Shamea’s upcoming birthday party, when Porsha’s name came up. Kelli immediately started talking about Simon and how Porsha shouldn’t have been messing around with him in the first place.
Is Kelli wrong? Absolutely not, but she’s putting Shamea in a rough spot. Her friendship with Porsha is going to be tested as she starts to mix friend groups together.

In Kelli’s defense, we were all watching this episode and thinking about Porsha’s divorce. It’s the elephant in the room, and since Bravo cameras weren’t allowed in her home, she brought them into her lawyer’s office. There, she and her lawyers plotted an emergency request to have a judge allow filming in the marital home. It’s just a glimpse into the nastiness still to come with Simon, who in real-time has been detained by ICE.
The situation with Simon is so draining that Shamea decided to take Porsha to a strip club to take her mind off of things. The two took shots, ate chicken wings, and watched booties bounce. You have to get creative when you can’t film at home!
Overall, Porsha has a lot on her plate this season, and when Shamea gave her a heads up about what Kelli had been saying about her, it was like it flipped a switch in Porsha. She’s back in the game of Housewives, and she’s ready to play.

The last part of the premiere episode brought us back to Sterling Hall for Shamea’s birthday bash, which served as the first all-cast event of Season 16. That included Cynthia, who is part-time but had more confessionals than some of the newbies, and Angela, a full-time newbie married to a former NBA player.
As Shamea ushered in the new generation of RHOA, you could see little sprinklings of drama start to pop up throughout the party. Kenya gave an icy introduction to Brit. Kelli and Porsha haven’t met but have been talking about each other through Shamea. Then, there’s also the Dennis and Drew situation that has everyone talking. It’s a lot, and Shamea’s elaborate party could only distract from the drama for so long.
At the end of the episode, the ladies took an elevator ride to another wing of Sterling Hall to have an all-hands chat about the rumors floating around. The premiere episode ended with a “to be continued,” but it looks like this is about to get juicy.
TELL US – WHAT WERE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA SEASON 16 PREMIERE? ARE YOU SURPRISED THAT SHAMEA IS THE NUCLEUS OF THE NEW GROUP? SO FAR, WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE OUT OF THE NEWBIES?
Everyone knows the secret to a great Real Housewives of Atlanta star isn’t always how much drama they can bring. But rather how funny their husbands are. Now, fans already know that Brit Eady is going to be all mixed up in the drama, thanks to her tussle with Kenya Moore. But there is more to Brit than just some online photos. Let’s get to know her husband, Michael Cunningham, who I swore might just be a Disney Prince.
According to her Bravo bio, Brit is a successful businesswoman. The Georgia native is a devoted wife. In her earlier days, Brit was a model who mainly worked in music videos, commercials, and a few movies. Now, Brit works in insurance and even runs her own agency. Brit is a numbers girl who is all about making money. She once posted, “Everyone always asked why I got into insurance? This should answer all the questions everyone has been wondering. This has been the hardest thing I have ever done in life, and it has been so rewarding! I’m incredibly grateful for all the support.”
Along with being a boss b*tch who owns multiple franchises, Brit is happily married to Michael. She is all about her hubby posting sweet shouts often. On his birthday, she wrote, “It has been the best ride of my life. Celebrating you is everyday … You are my world, my best friend, and my biggest headache. I would do it all over again. The way you love me, I pray everyone gets to experience this type of unconditional love.” I think it is safe to say this couple is in love. So what does Michael bring to the table?
Brit quickly noted she had “her own money when she met Mike,” But their fairytale romance is still a sweet meet-cute. While on a podcast, Brit shared that she feels secure in the couple’s “healthy relationship.” Mike, who was married once before, agreed with his wife’s sentiment. The insurance guru didn’t hesitate to imply that they had the perfect relationship. The duo met through her firm while she was doing his insurance. The two hit it off as they “went to Vegas in September and were engaged by Christmas.” Brit joked, “So he went from absolutely not married to being engaged in a couple of months.”
After their first date, the couple traveled everywhere, including New York and Miami, noting they were “together every day.” According to Mike, his wife “was different. And kind of like a breath of fresh air. She’s my best friend.”
Mike is flying below the radar. To be honest, it was really hard to figure out what this man did for a living, let alone how he made his money. His Instagram bio states he is an “Investor. Developer. Entrepreneur. Jet Broker.” But I think there is more to Mike than meets the eye. For example, he seems to also be dabbling in the oil business. But really, this man is a ghost. Right now, it feels like his main title is “Brit Eady’s husband.” Hopefully, the Real Housewives of Atlanta will clear the confusion up regarding his line of work.
Mike is a country club member, and according to his Threads account, he enjoys a few rounds of golf or two. But right now, it seems like his full-time job is being Brit’s hype man. There are numerous photos of her on his account. Some show her posing in expensive outfits, while others show the duo posing together. Mike comes across as laid back and is above all the BS that comes with being on the Real Housewives of Atlanta. The couple balances one another out, and both are opinionated.
Everything seems okay in their relationship for now. But the couple struggled during filming. The newbie’s Bravo bio notes that she is “basking in the glow of her 10-carat diamond ring and marriage to Michael. However, with the loss of a family member and career transition, her marriage with Mike seems to have driven a wedge between her and her once inseparable sisters, who feel that their quality time is now non-existent.” However, the couple seems to be back on track and has attended multiple events together. They were last seen together with the rest of the cast at The Black Tie Gala Fundraising Event hosted by the Charles Oakley Foundation. The nonprofit works with communities to end hunger and poverty.
The newest season of the Real Housewives of Atlanta will surely pull back the curtains when it comes to Brit and Mike’s cozy relationship. They don’t seem worried about the Real Housewives curse and in fact, are laughing in the face of naysayers. Personally, I think I found my new favorite Bravo couple.
Season 16 of Real Housewives of Atlanta introduces us to a new Bravo star via Kelli Ferrell. Kelli will aid in many storylines this season. However, one of these narratives will be up close and personal, as Kelli went through a tough-as-nails divorce from her ex, Chuvalo Mark Ferrell.
Kelli is a cookbook author, celebrity chef, TV personality, and restauranteur. Therefore, she is used to all kinds of press. Even still, personal headlines hit differently, as Kelli has experienced, being that her divorce was messy.
So, who is her ex, and why did Kelli and Chuvalo divorce? Will we hear more about this chaos during RHOA Season 16? Let us dive into all things Chuvalo now to address these questions.
The marital rise and fall of Kelli Ferrell and Chuvalo Mark Ferrell
Kelli and Chuvalo were married for 11 years before calling the time of death on their marriage in 2022. They have three daughters: Chance, Chasiti, and Chelsi. Kelli also has a fourth daughter named Chloe from a previous relationship. Chloe is the oldest of the bunch.
Their divorce lasted 2 years, 8 months, and 22 days. But last September, Kelli shared on Instagram that their battle was over. Speaking in third person, Kelli penned a letter online, congratulating herself on how far she has come.
“Some of your friends gossiped, and some came through when you needed them the most,” Kelli began, making me wonder if any of the ladies on RHOA had her back during her battle. And if not, why?
“Your test was your testimony. GOD had to [en]sure you could handle everything you have prayed for before He sent you the biggest blessing you’ve been asking for. Those last months of hell were your preparation for the most beautiful life that you so DESERVE,” Kelli stressed.
Kelli ended her post on a high, reminding her followers that hard-fought battles often arrive before our biggest blessings in life. Then, in all caps, Kelli penned, “YOU ARE OFFICIALLY DIVORCED.”

When Kelli presents at the start of RHOA Season 16, her divorce from Chuvalo will still be underway.
Kelli listed their date of marriage as August 20, 2011. Their separation occurred in January 2022, and yes, “no hope for reconciliation” was listed.
Chuvalo responded to their divorce in June 2022. He also admitted that he and Kelli were unable to resolve their issues. However, he did contest that their separation happened in 2021, not 2022.
Their marital assets were worth $1.7 million, including their restaurant, home furnishings, cars, and various luxury items collected during their union. As for their children, Kelli asked for sole custody, child support, and attorney fees. She also filed a restraining order to prohibit Chuvalo from selling or transferring any of their communal property while their divorce proceedings were underway.
But Chuvalo demanded joint physical and legal custody of their children. He also argued that he and Kelli are “self-supporting,” so neither should get spousal support.
In 2023, the exes reached a temporary custody agreement, with Kelli maintaining physical custody while sharing joint legal custody of their daughters. Chuvalo also had to pay Kelli a monthly child support check, and this is where their legal battles stemmed.

Divorces happen. Yet, some are far easier than others. Take Chuvalo and Kelli, for example, whose divorce proceedings included a prison cell.
Throughout their drawn-out divorce, both parties accused each other of alleged misdeeds regarding their joint finances and ventures. However, in June 2022, a judge ruled in favor of Kelli. Kelli won ownership of their restaurant, Nana’s Chicken-N-Waffles. Meanwhile, Chuvalo lost this battle, as the court ordered he pay Kelly back $420,000, which he allegedly withdrew from their account.
Chuvalo contested this decision. He claimed the money he withdrew was supposed to be used to construct another restaurant location. Then, Kelli had to file a motion for contempt against her ex, as he allegedly failed to follow these orders. The courts agreed with Kelli, finding Chuvalo in contempt.
Chuvalo was taken into custody in January 2024 and released shortly after in February. Despite his stay away, Chuvalo still failed to pay child support for February, March, April, May, and June. According to InTouch, on August 7, the judge ordered Chuvalo jailed until he paid $14,889. He exited on August 14 after posting a $15,000 bond.
For his part, Chuvalo remained (mostly) quiet. But, he did speak through his attorney, stating that his focusremains on his family. Likewise, Chuvalo noted that he dislikes Kelli involving their children in “public appearances and on television” without his consent.
What else do we know about Chuvalo Mark Ferrell?
Now that Kelli and Chuvalo are divorced, Kelli is ready to move forward. But before we tune in to RHOA Season 16, is there anything else we can discuss about her ex, Chuvalo? This answer is yes.
According to his LinkedIn profile, Chuvalo is an “Entrepreneurial Visionary: Riding Culinary Excellence and Musical Mastery,” as stated in his bio. With only 20 connections and 21 followers, this landing page feels borderline unloved. However, Chuvalo does have one job listing here. He owns Blak on Blak Enterprise, an independent record label that hones in on indie artists across the globe.
On Instagram, Blak on Blak Enterprise heavily promotes a young Florida artist named Smakka Bihh. Her latest bop, I’m Different, sits just above.
On his personal Instagram, however, Chuvalo calls himself a “Creator, Restaurateur, Proud Father, [and a Virgo], [who is] Building dreams, one dish at a time.” His bio rings true, as Chuvalo recently opened Uncle Butch’s Chicken -N- Waffles, a brunch spot in Conyers, Georgia.
