Teen Mom alum Kailyn Lowry decided to share her past trauma with fans through a new TikTok trend. And they were NOT prepared for this much…

The mom of seven jumped aboard the “candy salad” trend in which everyone participating — in this instance, just Kail — puts some candy in a big bowl while revealing something about themselves. The video, posted on Saturday, has now garnered over 6 million views… and thousands of comments. The clips have left everyone shocked, and perhaps made them a bit more understanding of who this reality star really is.

Kailyn captioned the video “my villain origin story” and went through several packages of candy while she dropped disturbing details about her early life. While dropping some Swedish Fish in the bowl, she said:

“When I was 6 months old, I was kidnapped, brought to Texas, and my mom found me in the hospital with pneumonia.”

Whoa, WHAT?! So horrifying! And sadly, it doesn’t stop there. She went on to mention several more scary instances from her childhood, revealing:

“When I was 9 years old, I woke up with a strange man in my bed. I have no idea how he got there, who he is, or where he went afterward.”

Um… The 32-year-old continued on to talk about her experiences at just 10 and 11 years old, shocking fans by saying:

“When I was 10 years old I walked to my uncle’s house to ask if he had any food because I hadn’t seen my mom in days … When I was 11 years old, my babysitter did coke in front of my face on the coffee table.”

Kailyn told another story about how her mom showed up “under the influence” to pick her up from school when she was in fourth grade, and also revealed the sad way she lost her virginity… at just 14:

“When I was 14 years old, I lost my virginity on a sidewalk without even knowing what sex was.”

By 16, the reality TV star says she was legally adopted by her boyfriend’s parents:

“When I was 16 years old, my mom signed over custody to my boyfriend’s parents and told me that absence makes the heart grow fonder.”

Heartbreaking. And all of this took place when she was so young! She wasn’t even done yet, either…

Kailyn revealed she met her father for the first time when she was 17 — and it wasn’t a great experience:

“When I was 17 years old, I met my dad for the first time and he had a lock on his fridge and told me he eats roadkill barbecue.”

The final story, coming from when she was 19, is even more gut-wrenching than the last:

“When I was 19 years old, I was sexually assaulted by someone I knew and I never reported it to police but I did need to have repair done in the hospital by a plastic surgeon, and I never reported it because I felt bad and I didn’t know if he really actually meant to do it.”

Oh no… So, so sad. Poor girl… We’re so impressed she’s turned out so relatively normal and healthy!

The post <i>Teen Mom 2</i>'s Kailyn Lowry Leaves Fans Shocked With HORRIFIC Trauma Dump In New TikTok! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

On Friday, the television personality took to Instagram Stories to reveal she bought her 15-year-old daughter Sophia a Tesla Cybertruck Cyberbeast. You know, the vehicle with numerous complaints from drivers, everything from lock snafus to charging failure to finger-chopping trunks! The same one that got recalled multiple times this year — once because the accelerator pedal got stuck!

Yeah, Farrah got her daughter that car as her very first one. And she dropped a pretty penny on it, too! TMZ reported Farrah spent $123,000 on the monstrosity! All of that money on her very first car?! Yowza! She wrote alongside a snapshot of her teen posing with the electric car:

“@sophialabraham ! Just got her 1st car! We can’t wait for delivery .”

Take a look (below):

Farrah told the outlet they plan to pick up the vehicle next week. However, it’ll be a while before Sophia gets behind the wheel by herself. At this time, she only has her learner’s permit. Last month, the Teen Mom alum shared on social media that her daughter began “driver’s ed” and will be “getting her license shortly.” Well, more like she has six months until she can drive by herself! In Texas, you have to be 16 years old to reach that milestone. Sophia’s birthday isn’t until February, so she still has a bit!

In the meantime, though, it looks like she has time for a lot of practice figuring out how to use her extremely inefficient new car. Thoughts on Farrah buying her such a pricy, controversial set of wheels, Perezcious readers?

That super exciting and unexpected news came out very casually on Thursday’s episode of her podcast Coffee Convos, during which she was wearing a big sparkler on THAT finger! Her co-host, Lindsie Chrisley, pointed out the diamond ring and openly wondered what happened:

“Are you married?”

Wait, WHAT?

The Teen Mom 2 alum quickly clarified for Lindsie and listeners:

“No, I’m not married. This is the ring that they give you before you get married.”

Ummm WOW!!! OK!!!! So that’d be an engagement then! LOLz!

So, why hasn’t she said anything about it yet?! Well, Kailyn’s been downplaying the exciting update because she claims that there was no formal proposal. She recalled her beau was always asking, “when are we going to get married?” But for a while, she was never “taking him seriously.” The mom of seven said:

“I was just like, ‘We’ll play this by ear. I’ll let you know, if you have a ring one day, we’ll reevaluate.’”

She continued:

“And then one day he just showed up with a ring.”

Awww!!!

Because they have both been married in the past — Kailyn to Javi Marroquin from 2012 to 2017 and Elijah to Kayla Brooke from 2018 to 2020 — the groom-to-be didn’t even get down on one knee! The reality star dished:

“We’ve both been married already, so we both don’t care about the whole, ‘get on one knee and make it all romantic and stuff.’ […] Because that’s just not how we are … He came into the bathroom one day while I was getting ready and he gave me the ring … I was like, ‘Oh my God, thank you!’”

The 16 and Pregnant alum added that she “doesn’t like being the center of attention” and “would have been happier if he had left the ring on the table and walked out.” LOLz! That’s not romantic at all!

Ch-ch-check out the ring that finally sealed the deal (below):

Gorg!

The couple have been dating since 2022. It’s unclear exactly when this chill proposal went down, but the announcement comes months after they welcomed twins Valley and Verse late last year. They also share a 1-year-old son, Rio. Plus, Kailyn is the mother to Isaac, 14, Lincoln, 10, Lux, 6, Creed, 3. Such a happy time for them all, we bet! Wishing them nothing but the best!

Reactions? Sound OFF (below)!

The post <i>Teen Mom 2</i> Star Kailyn Lowry Reveals She’s ENGAGED To Elijah Scott -- And Why She Kept It On The Down-Low Until Now! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

During last week’s episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, the 32-year-old revealed she’s packing up her brood and moving to Las Vegas! During the episode, she called the new city a “safe haven” for her and her kids amid her split from David Eason. She revealed:

“So much has happened in North Carolina, it’s just traumatized all of us in different ways … I don’t feel safe when I’m in North Carolina, because I don’t know if or where I can run into David.”

We don’t blame her after everything he’s done! She’s gotta keep her kids — which include Jace, 14, Kaiser, 10, and Ensley, 7 — safe. But it sounds like Sin City isn’t Jace’s first choice…

On Tuesday, an insider told The US Sun Jenelle and her kiddos will be moving into a “gated community,” ominously adding “it’s gated for a reason.” Are they referring to the security she’s looking for? But the source went on:

“Jace doesn’t want to move, he hates it, he’s not happy, and he’s lonely. He thinks Vegas is too hot, that it’s miserable and worst of all, he has to start all over again there.”

Oh no! Well, once he gets there to stay we’re sure he’ll discover some of the fantastic appeal the city has to offer! Sure, it’s hot outside right now in the summer, but there’s just so much to do!

But as of now, the source noted that the teen had been excited about his future in North Carolina WITHOUT his stepdad:

“Jace was happy where he was, with David finally gone. Jace has his childhood friends in North Carolina, and he could finally go out and be free and hang out with the people he grew up with.”

Poor guy! It was all apparently a “shock and surprise” to learn he was going to be uprooted:

“He thought they were just going out there for MTV, he didn’t know she was planning on moving them out there. She didn’t ask him, she just went and signed a lease and told the kids, ‘We’re moving to Vegas.’”

During a recent episode of Teen Mom, Jenelle revealed this will be “Jace’s fourth high school that he started this year.” She added:

“I got to keep an eye on who he’s with, I don’t want him getting in any trouble [in Vegas].”

That is all a bummer for a kid, no doubt. But sometimes parents have to parent! Jenelle doesn’t feel she and the kids are safe in the same area as David, and we do not blame her at all. That man creeps us out!

The insider noted the brood is currently in North Carolina packing things up and are expected to drive to Sin City. We’re sure everything will work out!

Thoughts??

The post <i>Teen Mom</i> Jenelle Evans’ Move To Vegas Was A ‘Shock’ To The Kids -- And Jace ‘Hates’ It! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

Jenelle Evans is dealing with an entirely new life amid her difficult divorce from David Eason. But the journey to freedom brings with it new fears…

As part of that transition, the North Carolina native has announced she will no longer be calling the Tarheel State home. Instead, she’s moving to… Las Vegas! On Thursday’s all-new episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, Jenelle’s storyline revolved around her looking at a few different properties in Sin City. And right away, she was sold on making Vegas her home — and the place to raise kids Jace, 14, Kaiser, 9, and Ensley, 7, the latter of whom she shares with David. Amazing!!

The MTV momma spoke highly of Nevada’s biggest city as far as it relates to raising her family AND escaping the terror they’d experienced with Eason in North Carolina:

“I think Vegas is definitely gonna be a space. Like, my safe haven and definitely a good safe haven for my kids. There’s just so much to look forward to for this move to Vegas. So much has happened in North Carolina, it’s just traumatized all of us in different ways.”

But even after signing a rental agreement in Vegas, Jenelle STILL couldn’t get out of David’s clutches. During the ep, she had to return to NC to follow up on the restraining order request she’d filed. Lamenting the return to David’s stomping ground, Jenelle told fans in a voiceover:

“I really don’t want to be here. But this week, I have a court case for a pending restraining order, so we’ll see how that goes. I don’t feel safe when I’m in North Carolina, because I don’t know if or where I can run into David.”

So scary…

Reminder, this is the man who killed the family dog and allegedly abused Jenelle and Jace.

And it got even worse. In a confessional, Jenelle admitted she felt “stalked” and “harassed” by Eason so badly that now she wonders if every single white pickup truck she sees on the highway might be his:

“David’s just capable of intimidating me. I feel harassed. I feel stalked. Now, every white truck on the highway, I’m staring at and I don’t know if it’s him.”

Absolutely awful.

Of course she’s scared! We’re scared of the guy, and we never go to North Carolina!

In the moments leading up to the hearing, she got so emotional she couldn’t help but break down in tears. The thought of facing David in court was nearly too much for her to bear. In another confessional, while crying, she said:

“My nerves are shot. I keep having panic attacks. I keep thinking how I have to go on stand. It’s just all very scary. And I’m like, shaking. But I gotta do it. I’m really sick of feeling this way. And even though he’s not here, it’s like I’m still walking on eggshells, which sucks.”

MTV’s cameras weren’t allowed in court to show the proceedings of the restraining order hearing itself. But!! Jenelle emerged after the fact with good news: her request had been granted. In turn, that move officially paved the way for her to pick up and ship off to Vegas for good. To celebrate, she opened a FaceTime call with co-star Briana DeJesus, and happily exclaimed:

“All these fears in my head are just poof! Gone now.”

Amazing!

We’re seriously so happy that Jenelle and her kids all made it out of that relationship. And we’re so excited for her to make a new life in Las Vegas! Anonymous sources (wink, wink) tell us that it’s a pretty cool city! Ha!!

The post <i>Teen Mom</i> Terror! Jenelle Evans 'Traumatized', Says She Doesn't 'Feel Safe' From Husband David Eason Amid Divorce And Is Moving To Las Vegas! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

Autumn Crittendon, who was on Season 5 of the MTV hit, has passed away at only 27. Her sister, Misty Crittendon broke the news in a now-deleted Facebook post on Sunday. As first reported by Starcasm, the announcement read:

“To my dearest baby sister, my twin, my rock, my babies mother, my go to, my world, the only one who got me and most of my childhood trauma, who endured it all with me, my Arnold. You were robbed of your life at such a tender age. You left before anyone could tell you goodbye… how much we love you.. how amazing you are and how proud we are of you for staying sober through some of the toughest parts of your life, how far you’ve came from where you were, how thankful we are to have had all these years with you, how proud of you we are as a mother, how grateful we are for the 3 tiny parts of your heart that are still walking this earth.”

Heartbreaking…

Misty went on to recall the horrifying moment she learned of Autumn’s death, writing:

“Pulling up seeing all the vehicles, an empty ambulance.. and jumping out of the truck as soon as I could begging the paramedics and cops to tell me you were okay and they were just working to keep you alive in there.. But my worst fear was confirmed and I collapsed in the road. I went down the hall to check the rooms to make sure you weren’t hiding back there, but they laid empty.. quiet.. I went where you were last and just stood there in disbelief.. how was my baby sister gone? I was just talking to her.”

Her thoughts immediately went to denial, and she described herself as “empty, broken”. She also promised to keep her sister’s three “babies” — Drake, 10, an unnamed son, 5, and an unnamed daughter, 18 months — safe and cared for:

“No way this is real life. It’s not real. Begging God to give you back to us.. I seen the shirt you were wearing and I held it so tight, I smelled it for so long as I just stood there empty, broken, finally allowing myself a moment to fall apart while I knew the kids were okay and I was alone. I’ll hold that shirt close to my heart forever. We are gonna make sure these babies are okay. Your memory will not fade over time. It will live on every moment of every day.”

Gut-wrenching. Gone far too soon.

Right now, the reality star’s cause of death is still a mystery and under investigation, but TMZ reported on Monday she’d been having some health problems as of late. According to the reports, she was found unresponsive by her stepdad, who then called 911. Paramedics attempted to perform CPR and revive her, to no avail. The outlet claimed Autumn was struggling with diabetes, kidney problems, and blood pressure issues. It’s also said she was complaining of heartburn and sickness recently, and was planning to see a doctor.

So, so sad. Our hearts go out to Autumn’s family and loved ones. May she rest in peace.

The post <i>16 & Pregnant</i> Alum Dead At 27 -- Leaving Behind 3 Children appeared first on Perez Hilton.

The Teen Mom veteran appears in the latest teaser clip of MTV‘s Teen Mom: The Next Chapter released on Tuesday. In it, David Eason‘s estranged wife talks to a potential business partner about going into the cannabis business! Yes, she’s about to be selling weed!

Related: Jenelle’s Scary Ex David Eason BANS Their Daughter From Appearing On Teen Mom!

After being pitched on how well-run the cannabis operation is, the 32-year-old admitted she’s been a fan of recreational (and therapeutic) use for a long time! Referencing her mom Barbara Evans and the vicious fights the two of them had ages ago on Teen Mom, Jenelle said:

“A long time ago, when I was on 16 And Pregnant and Teen Mom, it was me and my mom arguing and I was like, ‘it’s about this time of the day. I want to smoke [weed]’ and that just resonated with everybody. That one scene, I thought to myself, ‘I need to do something with this relating to weed’ and I thought the best thing would be to start a brand called This Time of the Day.”

That would certainly be clever! Jenelle also thought up a second angle on legal cannabis and the perception of it, too: women’s health! Pointing out that some women use marijuana to help get through the pain of monthly menstrual cramping, even as women (and especially moms!) are shamed for it, Evans continued:

“I think my history is going to have a lot to do with this brand, and I was thinking, like, moms are shamed for smoking.”

Watch the clip (below):

Wow!

TBH, that might be a good opportunity for Jenelle if she goes through with it. But there’s just one liiiiiitle problem: marijuana is illegal in North Carolina! You can’t possess it, sell it, or grow it. There are a few very limited medical exceptions in the Tarheel State, but besides that, nope! So, she’ll have to move if she wants to jump into the cannabis industry. Or lobby to change state laws!

The post Jenelle Evans Is Becoming A Gardener -- You Know, THAT Kind Of Gardener! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

Just days into the new year, we had two shocking divorce announcements, starting with AJ McLean and his wife Rochelle ending their 11-year marriage. Shortly afterward, former Bachelorette stars Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo rocked Bachelor Nation by also filing for divorce! And the splits did not stop there! Since then, several famous couples — including Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen, Kim Kardashian and Odell Beckham Jr., and Billy Ray Cyrus and Firerose — have decided to go their separate ways. And we could expect more as the year continues!

Check out (below) to see all the relationships that did not last so far…

CArdi B & Offset

Cardi B is ready to start a new chapter without Offset as her husband. She filed for divorce from the Migos alum AGAIN. And it supposedly had nothing to do with Offset cheating on her again. He’s cheated on her several times during their relationship, so no one would be surprised if that was why! But the real reason Cardi finally ended their marriage — this time, seemingly for food? A Page Six source spilled:

“They’ve grown apart. That’s what drove her to this decision more than anything else. This is something she wants to do. They both have been trying to figure out what their future looks like for a while now. It’s not something that happened overnight … They’ve both been on the same page. There wasn’t [pushback]. They’ve grown apart and that feeling has gotten stronger over time. It’s become unavoidable.”

Now, her main priority is “obtaining primary custody” of their kids, Kulture, 6, and Wave, 2. Oh, and focusing on her pregnancy! Yeah, she announced she and Offset are expecting baby No. 3 only hours after the divorce bombshell! While somewhat addressing the divorce, she wrote on IG:

“With every ending comes a new beginning! I am so grateful to have shared this season with you, you have brought me more love, more life and most of all renewed my power! Reminded me that I can have it all! You’ve reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love, and my passion! I love you so much and can not wait for you to witness what you helped me accomplish, what you pushed me to do! It’s so much easier taking life’s twists, turns and test laying down, but you, your brother and your sister have shown me why it’s worth it to push through!”

Hopefully, this “new beginning” for Cardi brings her more joy than ever before!

Cameron & Vanessa Mathison

General Hospital fans got a huge shock in July when Cameron Mathison, who portrays Drew Cain on the daytime soap opera, and his wife, Vanessa Mathison, announced their divorce after more than two decades of marriage. They issued a joint statement on Instagram, saying:

“After 22 years of marriage, we have made the difficult decision to part ways. We enter this new chapter with deep love, kindness, and respect for each other. We hold gratitude in our hearts for the wonderful years we shared together. Our children have been and will continue to be our highest priority, and we will forever share in our devotion and love for them. We remain friends, and both wish the best for one another. We sincerely appreciate your respect for our family’s privacy during this transition.”

Kelly Bensimon & Scott Litner

Just four days before The Real Housewives of New York City alum Kelly Bensimon was supposed to marry wealth management consultant Scott Litner, she decided to call it off! The sudden breakup left everyone with one question: What happened? The Bravo personality revealed to Us Weekly that her fiancé refused to sign a prenup, which was “the ultimate red flag” to her! Kelly said:

“I haven’t come this far in business and life to start making poor decisions because of a man. He of all people should have understood the need to protect each other before we tied the knot. I’m truly shocked he refused a prenup.”

The RHUGT star added that he “thought that I would enter this union without legal protections in place, that I would leave everything to faith.” Well, Kelly wasn’t taking that risk and dumped Scott! Considering he works as a wealth management consultant, he really should have understood her desire to protect not only her assets but his as well, just in case! So Scott’s unwillingness to get a prenup comes across as super sus! We’re glad Kelly stood her ground on the matter!

Amber Portwood & Gary Wayt

Teen Mom star Amber Portwood and her fiancé Gary Wayt called off their engagement in June after he disappeared for days earlier that month. Gary went missing after he left their rental home in North Carolina and drove off following “an argument” with Amber. No one was able to reach him for days since he left his phone behind, causing the MTV personality and his family to worry. It wasn’t until June 14 that the Bryson City Police Department announced Gary was found, and the case was closed.

As for Amber and Gary’s relationship once he was located? Well, they weren’t able to move past what happened. A source for Us Weekly revealed they broke up, saying:

“They’ve decided that it’s over between them and their engagement is off. They have too much to overcome to move forward together.”

The insider noted that Amber “wants to be with someone who accepts her fully.” Apparently, his family was not happy with their engagement, and it“created some family tension.” The sources added:

“Gary’s family was looking her up online and looking at her past and not everything they saw online was true. And it was hard for Amber because she’s been trying so hard to move past it and move forward.”

Was his family’s reaction to their engagement what caused the big fight before his disappearance? Something tells us that is probably the case…

Billy Ray Cyrus & Firerose

Seven months after their wedding, Billy Ray broke up with Firerose! And it’s a very messy situation, y’all! The Old Town Road artist filed for divorce in May, citing “irreconcilable differences” and “inappropriate marital conduct.” Billy Ray even asked for an annulment since he believes their marriage was obtained fraudulently! According to the Hannah Montana alum, she lied about never having been married before! Whoa! He also claimed Firerose cheated on him. In court filings, he further accused her of racking up nearly $100k in credit card charges after he ended their relationship.

Jeez…

The 36-year-old musician fired back with her own filing and accused Billy Ray of “extreme verbal, emotional and psychological abuse.” Firerose explained his alleged struggles with substance abuse made him “unpredictable and volatile” towards her throughout their marriage. Then, Billy Ray responded by releasing a note she sent him begging him to take her back. In an amendment to his divorce filing, he also claimed she brazenly blocked one of his daughters — Miley, Noah, or Brandi Cyrus — on his phone to cut off communication. It’s unknown which one got blocked. But we bet it was Miley. The Flowers artist was not a fan of her father and Firerose!

With all this drama, it’s no wonder Billy Ray is reportedly “relieved” he and his estranged wife are over!

Sara Ramírez & Ryan DeBolt

In July 2021, Sara Ramírez — who uses they/them pronouns — announced they separated from their husband, Ryan DeBolt, after nine years of marriage. The And Just Like That alum wrote in a since-deleted post on Instagram:

“Ryan and I are no longer together. We remain loving and supportive in how we are choosing to forge our new individual paths. Thank you for holding space around our choices and respecting our families’ privacy as we navigate this process on our own terms.”

Now, three years later, Sara officially pulled the plug on their marriage. According to People, the Grey’s Anatomy star filed for divorce on June 11, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split. And here’s an interesting detail about the filing. Although Sara and Ryan announced their separation on social media three years ago, they listed the date of separation as January 2018. Wow. They also requested the pair’s assets be divided per their prenuptial agreement and spousal support for both of them to be blocked.

Joe Jonas & Stormi Bree

Joe Jonas’ romance with model Stormi Bree “cooled off” after nearly six months of dating, according to Us Weekly in May. A source told the outlet they had to put their relationship on hold, explaining:

“Joe has a very busy schedule between his kids and his career, so his romantic life has to take a back seat for now.”

At the time, the insider said Joe’s focusing  on “his children and his passion for his music” and is living “a very fulfilled life.” They added:

“If the right person comes along, he’ll definitely make time for them in his life. [He] doesn’t feel the need to jump into a relationship with anybody. If it happens, it happens. But he’s really happy with where things are at right now.”

Back in January, Joe and Bree sparked romance rumors a couple of months after he and Sophie Turner announced their divorce. They were spotted at a private airport in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and eventually confirmed their relationship with a kiss. Two months later, their romance seemed to heat up. An insider claimed things were “getting more serious” between Bree and Joe. Now, their romance has fizzled out.

Harry Styles & Taylor Russell

No more Haylor 2.0! Harry Styles and Taylor Russell ended their relationship after less than a year of dating. According to sources who spoke to The US Sun in May, they went on a make-or-break trip to Japan back in April. Harry and Taylor were seen riding bikes around Tokyo at the time. They seemed like a happy couple. But come to find out that the relationship was put to a test on the vacation. And unfortunately, they did not make it as a couple afterward! An insider said:

“Harry and Taylor have ended their relationship. They went through a rough patch after their trip to Japan and are taking some time apart.”

What caused the rough patch? It sounds like, as what ended many celeb couples in the past, long distance hurt them in the end! The source further explained their connection had “become strained recently,” adding:

“He’s been in America and she’s been in London. They made a lovely couple and it was obvious Taylor made Harry happy. Things have become strained recently though and they’ve taken some time out.”

Whether Harry and Taylor give their relationship another go in the future, we’ll see. But for now, they’re dunzo!

Madonna & Josh popper

The US Sun reported in May that Madonna and her 30-year-old boxer boyfriend, Josh Popper, split after one year of dating. A source shared with the outlet that their romance “fizzled out” after they struggled to spend quality time while she was on the road for the Celebration Tour. While Madonna and Josh are no longer together, the insider also noted they do plan to remain friends:

“Madonna has barely seen Josh for months because her schedule was so hectic. Things just fizzled out. There is genuinely no bad blood — they’re still fond of each other. At the moment their relationship doesn’t feel feasible and they’ve cooled things off, but they are staying friends.”

At least the two ended their relationship on good terms! Can’t say the same about many folks on this list…

Dorit & PK KeMsley

Another Real Housewives of Beverly Hills couple bites the dust! During Season 13 of the Bravo reality series, Dorit and PK Kemsley’s marriage troubles were on display. In the reunion in March, the fashion designer revealed their problems “got progressively worse” after filming wrapped. Things were so bad between them that PK briefly stayed in a hotel. However, their marriage started to improve once he gave up alcohol. Dorit said:

“PK was drinking a lot and he’s a drinker. I just think that it’s very difficult to have clear-headed conversations when he’s drinking so much, so he gave up drinking.  That was a very pivotal moment, so things are – knock on wood – as good as they can possibly be.”

But flash forward to two months after the reunion, the Kemsleys took a step back from their relationship. They wrote in a statement:

“We as a couple have been subject to a lot of speculation about our marriage. We have had our struggles over the last few years and continue to work through them as two people who love each other and share two amazing children together. To safeguard our deep friendship and maintain a harmonious environment for our children we have made the mutual and difficult decision to take some time apart and reevaluate our relationship while we prioritize our children. We appreciate your love and support while we continue to do the work necessary throughout this journey.”

Dorit and PK have been married since March 2015. They share two kids: daughter Phoenix and son Jagger.

Bethenny Frankel & Paul Bernon

Bethenny Frankel and Paul Bernon’s love didn’t last! Breakup rumors started in May when a source told DeuxMoi that The Real Housewives of New York City alum ended their six-year-long relationship a few months ago. What’s more, he was already “out dating publicly.” Well, it wasn’t just a rumor! Us Weekly confirmed Bethenny and Paul ended their engagement! A mutual friend of the exes said:

“It just wasn’t going to work. They are so different — he’s an under the radar kind of guy.”

While it is sad their relationship didn’t work out, there is a bright side to this, at least. She kept the massive 10-carat emerald-cut diamond ring that’s worth over $1 million! Nice!

Ryan Seacrest & Aubrey Paige

A rep for Ryan Seacrest revealed to People back in April he and his 26-year-old girlfriend broke up after three years of dating. And they seemed to end things on good terms! A source told the outlet:

“After three beautiful years together, Ryan and Aubrey have mutually decided to part ways. They plan to stay in each other’s lives as good friends and support one another’s endeavors.”

People gave no reason for their sudden breakup. Given Ryan’s preferences for women in their 20s, we can’t help but think he pulled a Leonardo DiCaprio… again! As you may recall, the American Idol alum dated then-26-year-old Celebrity Big Brother star Jasmine Waltz in 2009. He became romantically involved with Julianne Hough in 2010 and broke up with her in 2013 – when she was 25. Then, Ryan dated Shayna Taylor on and off for years until she was 28. And that brings us to Aubrey. She turned 25 in October 2023. Now look where their relationship ended up…

So when you look at all this, Aubrey possibly got the boot due to her age!

Alexia & Todd Nepola

Alexia and Todd Nepola are divorcing after three years of marriage — but all hope is not lost in this situation! According to Us Weekly, The Real Housewives of Miami star’s husband filed for divorce on April 15 in Florida. The breakup completely caught fans, and even Alexia, by surprise. She addressed the news on Instagram Stories, saying:

“I am shocked and heartbroken that Todd has chosen to dissolve our marriage. I will take comfort in the fact that my friends and family will be by my side supporting me during this difficult time.”

But as we said, there is still hope for Alexia and Todd! The Bravo personality later shared on the Two Ts In A Pod podcast that they are in couples therapy – and have even been hooking up amid their separation! Alexa said she is willing to do whatever it takes to fix their marriage:

“I’m madly in love with him and I would want it to work out, so that’s why it’s so difficult. There’s a lot there, a lot to unpack. But, again, I feel that being in the public eye is so much harder and I think that’s one of the reasons that he’s struggling with it. … He does not like [being in the public eye], no.”

Was that what caused their relationship to crumble all of a sudden? Yes – but that is only part of their issues! When Alexia and Todd started dating, RHOM was already on a hiatus — a seven-year-long one! Once the show got picked back up, he apparently struggled with the spotlight. Oof. It’s not only that Todd did “not like” being in the public eye. The Housewife also admitted that they struggled with their communication:

“I just believe that we have to have better communication. You know, I think we’re both strong people and I think that we struggle with the way that we communicate. For me, [the marriage] was working. I just thought that there were typical fights and problems that every couple had. But, it’s not how much you fight or how hard you fight, it’s being able to work through those fights and finding resolution and I think that’s where we have our biggest challenge.”

Hopefully, Alexia and Todd can work things out! We would love to see them have a happy ending!

Gerry Turner & Theresa Nist

While many Bachelor Nation fans hoped the beloved Golden Bachelor stars Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist would be one of the few couples in the franchise to make it, alas that wasn’t in the cards for them! Three months after their televised wedding in January, they announced on Good Morning America their divorce. In terms of what led to their split, Gerry and Theresa apparently couldn’t get on the same page when it came to where they wanted to live. She resided in New Jersey while Gerry was in Indiana. While the pair tried to find a home together, they just were not willing to relocate for each other in the end and decided it was in their best interest to part ways. So sad…

Fortunately, their divorce was super easy! According to TMZ, it was finalized by June.

Christine Quinn & Christian Dumontet

Christian Dumontet filed for divorce from Christine Quinn — days after police arrested him for felony assault with a deadly weapon. In March, the tech entrepreneur allegedly threw a bag with a glass bottle inside at the Selling Sunset alum amid a violent “rampage.” However, he missed Christine and hit their 2-year-old son Christian Georges. Oh no! Their kid was treated by the paramedics and transported to the hospital for further medical attention.

Meanwhile, Christian was taken into custody. But that wasn’t the end of the drama. He returned to the couple’s shared home when he was released from custody the following day — despite Christine getting an emergency protective order against him. He was then arrested for a second time.

Although Christian denied his estranged wife’s recounting of events, she has continued to double down. The real estate agent also later revealed his history of mental health issues and alleged domestic violence following the incident, noting he even threw dog poop at her at one point. Since their domestic dispute, Christine claimed he’s tried to mess with her, even planting recording devices to watch her inside their home. So scary! He has been charged with three misdemeanors, including child abuse/endangerment, assault, and violation of a protection order.

In the divorce filing, Christian requested sole legal and physical custody of their son but allowed the reality star visitation rights. That won’t slide for Christine, though! She wants full legal and physical custody of their child, claiming her ex-husband “perpetrated acts of domestic violence and child abuse against [her] son and [her].” And she’s not going down without a fight when it comes to this matter!

Sacha Cohen & Isla Fisher

More than two decades of romance are over. In April, Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher announced in a joint statement on their respective Instagram accounts that they secretly broke up in 2023. They had even filed for divorce already! They wrote:

“After a long tennis match lasting over twenty years, we are finally putting our racquets down. In 2023 we jointly filed to end our marriage. We have always prioritized our privacy, and have been quietly working through this change. We forever share in our devotion and love for our children. We sincerely appreciate your respecting our family’s wish for privacy.”

Neither has revealed what led to their breakup. However, reports came out to say the divorce had “nothing to do” with the claims made by Rebel Wilson in her memoir. The Pitch Perfect alum alleged she faced on-set harassment at the hands of Sacha while working on The Brothers Grimsby. Although her allegations did not lead to his divorce from Isla, it seemed to play into their decision to drop the shocking news! The Confessions of a Shopaholic star apparently wanted no association with her ex amid his scandal!

So what really ended their marriage? Sources claimed there’s been trouble in paradise between Isla and Sacha for quite some time. Their relationship started to fizzle when they relocated their family to Australia to be close to Isla’s family. That move left them “shaky.” But the final nail in the coffin when it came to their marriage? The loss of her father, Brian Fisher, in January 2023. Everything changed at that moment. His death reportedly left Isla “absolutely devastated” and caused her to “reassess her life,” including her marriage to Sacha:

“It was one of those moments in life that changes you, and it wasn’t long after this that Isla began to consult lawyers about splitting up with Sacha.”

Ultimately, it sounds like their split was a long time coming…

Chance the Rapper & Kirsten Corley

Chance the Rapper and Kirsten Corley are divorcing. They announced the end of their five-year marriage in a joint statement to Instagram in April, saying:

“After a period of separation, the two of us have arrived at the decision to part ways. We came to this decision amicably and with gratitude for the same time we spent together. God has blessed us with two beautiful daughters who we will continue to raise together. We kindly ask for privacy and respect as we navigate this transition. Thank you.”

Wow. For those who don’t know, Chance and Kirsten have a long history together. They first met when he was nine years old. But it wasn’t until 2013 that they began dating. Six years later, Chance and Kirsten got married. They had two kids, 7-year-old Kensli and 4-year-old Marli. Over the years, the 31-year-old rapper hasn’t been afraid to make music about their relationship. He even created an entire album about their wedding! So what happened to make them pull the plug on their marriage?

It’s unknown what caused the breakup. But a year ago, Chance displayed behavior that no wife would be OK with their husband doing! The Voice judge faced backlash when model Mela Millz shared a video of herself twerking on him at the Jamaican festival Carnival! He appeared really into it, too! The clip showed him grinding into her butt. He even slapped her booty at one point! Yikes.

Again, we don’t know what led to their divorce. However, we cannot help but think the video could have played into things. Did his wife feel disrespected after the footage? Did Kirsten later find out he got handsy with other women — or full-on cheated? Obviously, it could be as simple as they grew apart. But it would not shock us if something scandalous happened!

Tori Spelling & Dean McDermott

We all saw this divorce coming from a mile away. After a long separation, Tori Spelling finally filed for divorce from Dean McDermott in March. She listed the date of their separation as June 17, 2023, the same day he posted and deleted the infamous breakup announcement. And they’re both making some big demands! Tori demanded spousal support but denied any for her ex-husband! She even requested he pay her attorney fees! When it comes to their five children, the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum asked for sole physical custody — though was willing to give him visitation rights.

As for Dean? Well, these two seem to be at odds over those matters! He requested spousal support from Tori AND wants joint custody of their kids! Uh Oh. Hopefully, this doesn’t ruin the decent post-split relationship they’ve seemed to form…

Jeff & Chelsea Lazkani

Chelsea and Jeff Lazkani split! The Selling Sunset star filed for divorce from her husband in March after over six years of marriage, citing “irreconcilable differences.” However, their breakup was a lot more dramatic behind the scenes than that! Sources claimed Chelsea was “devastated” by their fracture because she thought Jeff cheated on her for months. Then, he dropped some shocking allegations about the real estate agent — accusing her of domestic violence and other “suspicious behavior,” including theft. Whoa…

Kim Kardashian & Odell Beckham Jr.

Kim Kardashian and Odell Beckham Jr. are no longer together! The couple reportedly were “no longer seeing one another” as of March 24. An insider told Life & Style that after six months, their romance “fizzled” out:

“Kim and Odell weren’t ever that serious, but right now they’re at different places in life. It was just fun but not happening anymore.”

Fortunately, there are “really no hard feelings” between them, the source claimed before adding:

“It was fun while it lasted!”

As you may know, the reality star and football player have been romantically linked since September. People confirmed they were “hanging out” after Odell broke up with baby momma Lauren Wood. While the pair have not gone Instagram or red carpet official, he and Kim were seen out together multiple times over the past few months — including the Vanity Fair Oscars party in February. But a month later, they’re done! We guess it wasn’t meant to be!

Larsa Pippen & Marcus Jordan

After a brief reconciliation earlier this year, Larsa Pippen is moving on from Marcus Jordan! Entertainment Tonight reported in March that The Real Housewives of Miami star officially ended her relationship with the 33-year-old after nearly two years of dating. As for why the split, an insider said the pair ended amicably and ultimately wanted “different things”:

“Larsa realized this relationship is just not the one for her after spending some more time apart, filming a new show. She wants to move on and focus on improving her life. They simply want different things out of life. Larsa wants more out of her partner, someone who is motivated like her.”

Despite their breakup, the insider noted they are open to maintaining a friendship in the future. Whether that happens, we’ll see! Or will they get back together again? Hmm. As we mentioned before, this isn’t the first time Marcus and Larsa have broken up. In February, the pair sparked breakup speculation when they suddenly deleted pictures of each other from their respective Instagram accounts and unfollowed each other. Multiple sources also confirmed they did break up. But days later, they re-followed each other and reunited for Valentine’s Day. So you never know what will happen with these two! We may see them get back together in the future… again!

Natalie Portman & Benjamin Millepied

Natalie Portman is a single woman again. After 11 years of marriage, her rep confirmed to People that she and Benjamin Millepied quietly finalized their divorce in February. The Black Swan actress secretly filed for dissolution in July in France, where the former couple lives with their 12-year-old son Aleph and 7-year-old daughter Amalia.

The breakup news came months after the choreographer was speculated to have had a “short-lived” affair with 25-year-old French climate activist Camille Étienne. Natalie remained tight-lipped about what happened — though she noticeably stopped wearing her wedding ring last spring amid the infidelity rumors. Benjamin reportedly had been trying to win her back. However, it was too late. Now, they’re officially over!

KJ Apa & Clara Berry

KJ Apa and his longtime girlfriend, Clara Berry, have gone their separate ways! The 30-year-old French model confirmed her relationship with the Riverdale star is over during an Instagram Q&A in February. When a fan asked if they were still a couple, she said, “No.” Clara went on to share that she’s “happier” after the breakup before doing a dance and adding:

“I’m free.”

Yeesh! Tell the people how you really feel! It is unknown why the pair split. However, they seemed to be on good terms. They both attended the Lacoste Fall/Winter 2024-2025 show during Paris Fashion Week — and they had a friendly interaction! A video posted by French magazine Gala showed that the two hugged when they bumped into each other at the event. See (below):

As for how Clara and KJ are navigating co-parenting their 2-year-old son Sasha Vai Keneti Apa? She told her followers they are trying their “best”:

“We are doing the best we can. I think it’s better to have separated parents who are happy and can be the best versions of themselves rather than stay together if it’s not working. What hurts me the most is that I don’t have my son 50 percent of the time, which means I don’t know 50 percent of his life. That’s something that’s been a little difficult to accept.”

Well, we hope KJ and Clara continued to have a great co-parenting relationship!

Jenelle Evans & David Eason

It finally happened. Jenelle Evans filed for separation from her scary husband, David Eason, on February 23, citing his “erratic” behavior as the reason behind the split. In the complaint, she claimed she officially separated from him on February 16 “with the intent that the separation be permanent.” She cannot file for divorce until they legally have been separated for a year, per North Carolina law.

You would think if a person’s spouse had a history of alleged abuse (including against her 14-year-old son Jace) and murdered the family dog in front of a minor, there would be an exception made to allow them to divorce right away, right? But that is not the case. So for now, David and Jenelle are only separated and the count down to make it official has begun.

Ellie Golding & Caspar Jopling

After pictures of Ellie Goulding kissing a man named Armando Perez dropped in February, she and her husband Caspar Jopling confirmed they secretly separated a while ago. The singer wrote on Instagram:

“In light of recent stories, I feel I have been left with no choice but to let you all know that Caspar and I privately separated some time ago. We remain the closest of friends and have been successfully co-parenting with our sons best interests at heart. We are committed to protecting our family privacy and thank people in advance for respecting our wishes – we won’t be commenting further.”

Caspar shared similar sentiments, saying:

“I feel (sadly) that I need to say something on mine and Ellie’s relationship.. that I hope more than anything will make any final tabloid speculation disappear. Ellie and I made the decision to separate some time ago. Our immediate family and close friends have known for some time – otherwise we chose to do what we could to keep this private. Ellie and I remain the closest of friends and, most importantly, co-parent’s to the best kiddo in the world, Arthur. This is the last I want to say on this – and please ask that your respect mine and Ellie’s privacy.”

It is unknown what caused the breakup. However, rumors had been circulating for a bit that Ellie and Caspar were over. It began when reports came out claiming that they were “living apart” as their marriage suffered due to their hectic schedules. They seemed to attempt to work things out between them, as The Sun reported that Ellie cut ties with her good friend Zac Goldsmith to give her marriage with Caspar another shot. But then, the 32-year-old art dealer was spotted without his wedding ring in February. Ellie also had been seen with another man, as we mentioned, forcing them to officially announce their split.

Ultimately, after trying everything to save their marriage over the past two years, sources say “divorce is the only outcome” for Ellie and Caspar. And they are ready to move on.

Porsha Williams & Simon Guobadia

Porsha Williams and Simon Guobadia’s marriage is done after 15 months! The Real Housewives of Atlanta Star shocked fans when she filed for divorce from her husband in February. Especially since they still seemed to be going strong only days before their breakup! The real reason for their split is unknown. However, people have been speculating it has something to do with rumors circulating about Simon’s citizenship status!

A report from the Atlanta Black Star claimed the businessman had been denied permanent residence in the US due to his criminal record involving alleged felony bank and credit card fraud. (FYI, he reportedly pleaded guilty to the crime in 1987.) Simon is currently appealing the decision. He also has been accused of overstaying his visas and being “unlawfully granted” a green card in 1988. Could these accusations have caused their divorce? A source for People insisted their split is “unrelated to recent allegations involving Simon’s past.” They then cryptically noted the cause of the split was an “ongoing matter.” Hmm.

For now, we’re being left in the dark about this situation!

Robert Irwin & Rorie Buckey

Robert Irwin and Rorie Buckey’s relationship is done. The pair announced the breakup in a joint statement posted on Instagram in February, writing:

“We wanted to share that we have decided to go our separate ways but profoundly appreciate all the time spent together and wish one another all the very best into the future. We wish to express the gratitude and respect we have for one another as we continue our journeys on different paths. We won’t be commenting further on this, and really appreciate your respect and privacy at this time.”

For those who don’t know, the niece of late actor Heath Ledger and the son of the late Steve Irwin were first romantically linked in November 2022. They went public with their relationship months later, in July 2023, when they attended the premiere of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One in Sydney together.

Jax Taylor & Brittany Cartwright

Following weeks of speculation, Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor confirmed in February that they separated after four years of marriage. She and their son Cruz even moved out of their shared home! That’s how you know Brittany is serious! She announced the news on their podcast When Reality Hits, saying:

“Jax and I are taking time apart and I made the decision to move into another home to take some space for the sake of my mental health. I’m taking it one day at a time. I don’t know what the future holds, but right now my focus is on being the best mom to Cruz and I love you guys. Pray for us and everything will be just fine. We’re good.”

Before anyone asks, Jax supposedly did not cheat on Brittany again — though there were rumors he did at one point! They both denied the allegations. So what really happened? Brittany spoke a lot over the past year about how they were constantly fighting. We even witnessed their intense fights on the debut season of The Valley, specifically over her drinking and wanting to have another baby. She also shared that Jax was not interested in sex with her anymore. Yikes.

Whether Jax and Brittany will officially pull the plug on their marriage remains to be seen. But we have a feeling a lot of longtime Vanderpump Rules fans are hoping these two go their separate ways soon!

Landon Barker & Charli D’Amelio

Landon Barker and Charli D’Amelio are over. The 20-year-old son of Travis Barker revealed on February 5 that he and the TikTok star broke up after more than a year of dating. He wrote on Instagram Stories:

“Hey everyone, I would like to let you guys know that Charli and I are no longer together. We broke up to focus on ourselves. We are still friends and have so much love for each other. I am incredibly grateful for the time we shared and hope you can respect our decisions. Thank you, love you all so much!”

This is not the first time Charli and Landon have split. During Season 3 of her Hulu series The D’Amelio Show, she revealed they broke up after a trip to the Bahamas. However, the social media personality confirmed they rekindled their relationship before the season premiered. She told Us Weekly in October:

“Now, we’re obviously at such a great point together, and it’s all amazing. Sometimes you take out your frustrations on the wrong people and you just need to know that when you choose to have someone in your life as much as we are in each other’s, it’s important to be…levelheaded for them and help them make sure that they know what they’re worth and so proud. Those little extra things that I think we do now that maybe we weren’t doing for a while, and it’s just gotten so much better.”

But flash forward months later, they’ve gone their separate ways again!

Anderson .Paak & Jae Lin

Anderson .Paak is getting divorced! According to TMZ, the singer filed for divorce from Jae Lin after more than a decade of marriage. When it comes to a separation date, it seems Anderson isn’t clear on when that was! He notably wrote “TBD” in the paperwork.

But one thing he is clear on? He wants him and Jae to have joint legal and physical custody of their sons –13-year-old Soul Rasheed and 6-year-old Shine Tariq — with a visitation schedule in place for both of them. Anderson further asked the court to terminate its ability to award spousal support to his estranged wife.

Sam Feher & Kory Keefer

Another Summer House couple bites the dust. In January, Sam Feher confirmed she dumped Kory Keefer after more than a year of dating. Why? She realized he was a walking red flag! During an interview on Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, Sam explained his inappropriate behavior on Season 3 of Winter House contributed to their breakup.

Fans will recall Kory got very flirty with cast members Malia White and Jordan Emanuel on the show — despite being involved with Sam at the time. Although the two had not officially been boyfriend-girlfriend yet, they agreed not to hook up with other people. Kory never slept with the other women. However, he had crossed a boundary for Sam when he pursued Malia and Jordan. As Sam said, Kory gave a “completely false impression of how serious we were” to the two women.

What made the situation worse? She only found out about the full extent of his flirty behavior with Malia and Jordan when Winter House premiered in December 2023 — months after they were dating officially. That’s not the only reason they ended their relationship! Sam said she knew Kory wasn’t the one “because he doesn’t love me.” Oof.

Armie Hammer & Marina Gris

Armie Hammer’s engagement has come to an end. Marina Gris announced on Instagram Stories in January she and the 37-year-old disgraced actor broke up a couple of months after he appeared to propose to her in October. She wrote:

“It’s with a reflective heart that I announce the end of my journey with Armie, a chapter that’s been deeply personal and warmly significant in my life and closed a month ago.”

Addressing the sexual assault and cannibalism allegations against him, Marina continued:

“Before you send me another unpleasant message: I am aware of the conversations and stories circulating around about him. It’s important for me to state that my personal experiences with Armie were positive and in no way reflective of these allegations. I speak only from my perspective and my experiences and am not responsible for any of his past, current and future relationships.”

She insisted their relationship was a space where I felt deeply appreciated, supported, loved and understood,” adding:

“I know him as a gentleman in every sense of the word. Our decision to get married and plans for a future together were rooted in strength, encouragement, and deep mutual care. The decision to part ways, though tough, was carried out with grace and respect, marking a beautiful end to our shared journey.”

Rachel Lindsay & Bryan Abasolo

This year’s batch of Bachelor Nation breakups started with a big one! Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo decided to divorce after four years of marriage. The chiropractor filed on January 2 and listed the separation date as just a few days earlier, December 31, 2023. The exact cause of the split is unknown. However, Bryan cited irreconcilable differences as the reason in the court documents.

He later addressed the breakup on Instagram, saying:

“After more than 4 years of marriage, me and Rachel have made the difficult decision to part ways and start anew. My parents have been married forever and I’m a family man, but sometimes loving yourself and your partner means you must let go.”

Recently, their breakup has taken a nasty turn in court — so curious how this one will play out!

AJ McLean & Rochelle McLean

We kicked off the New Year with some major heartbreak! Nine months after revealing their separation, AJ McLean announced he and Rochelle McLean are getting a divorce. The Backstreet Boys member wrote on Instagram on January 1:

“As you all know we have been separated for over a year now. While we have hoped for reconciliation we have decided to officially end our marriage. It is with deep love and respect that we have made this decision. Our focus now is moving forward in the healthiest possible way with friendship and coparenting our girls at the forefront of this next chapter. We appreciate your kindness respect and privacy at this time.”

It is so sad to see these two are breaking up. AJ and Rochelle previously seemed so hopeful they would rekindle their relationship in the future. But we guess sometimes things just don’t work out! Hopefully, they can go through this divorce process amicably for the sake of their two kids.

Damn… We’re only halfway through the year, and there are already so many breakups! Reactions to the split so far this year, Perezcious readers? Sound OFF in the comments below!

The post Celebrity Breakups Of 2024 appeared first on Perez Hilton.

During the new episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter on Thursday, the reality star opened up about her relationship with her man to friend Lexi. And everything seemed to be going great between them at the time — emphasis on seemed! She shared:

“Me and Gary are doing really good. We’ve been staying with each other a lot more, spending more time together. We’re just going with the flow. We’re not moving fast. We’re not moving slow. We’re moving at a good place, whatever we’re feeling.”

But it hadn’t been all rainbows and sunshine. Amber admitted the then-couple did experience some challenges in their romance due to her mental health struggles. As fans know, the MTV personality was diagnosed with bipolar and borderline personality disorder in 2011. She has been very open about her manic episodes over the years, especially about her blackout moments that leave her unable to remember conversations or situations.

So, on the show, she told her pal that Gary witnessed her having a manic episode for the first time. Afterward, the pair sought out counseling to work through it together. Amber said:

“The other day, he experienced my first manic episode — almost a blackout. So, we start going to couples therapy. We’ve been there twice now. It feels good to do that for the first time because you know I’m not good at relationships, especially this type of relationship where it’s actually a good one. This is something like I don’t want to mess up.”

Fans even watched one of their sessions later on. Gary made it clear he wanted more advice on how to support and help his girlfriend during her manic episodes. And it sounded like he was doing a good job in that department! Her beau told the therapist that he knows the signs for when Amber’s experiencing a manic episode. When Gary would realize what was going on, he said, he often tried to get her out of that state by placing his hand on her face or playing music. All of this is something the 16 and Pregnant alum never had with her previous boyfriends! Gary continued:

“I think I go into the protector mode. This is something that she’s used to dealing with by herself, and I can’t imagine dealing with something like that by yourself.”

Amber called Gary her “grounding force.” But although the momma loved how supportive her guy was, she was also afraid she’d become a burden to him in the long run. Oof.

Still, their therapist pointed out how taking care of themselves means they can be better partners in relationships. Easing her fears, Gary said he’s “all in”:

“Finding somebody that I actually truly love, that’s what I’ve wanted and we’re both all in.”

After kissing each other, Amber and Gary exchanged “I love yous.” They really did seem to be so committed to each other and in love. But as we all know now, a lot has changed since then!

Gary was reported missing by Amber earlier this month after he drove away from their rental cabin in North Carolina following an argument. Days after his disappearance, police found him and closed the case. Understandably, they were unable to move past this bump in their relationship.

A source told Us Weekly they called off their engagement because “they have too much to overcome to move forward together.” Um, yeah. And we know now they experienced challenges in their relationship even before his disappearance! Not only that, apparently his family didn’t approve of their engagement, either. The insider added:

“Gary’s family was looking her up online and looking at her past and not everything they saw online was true. And it was hard for Amber because she’s been trying so hard to move past it and move forward.”

Oof. Our heart breaks for Amber. It looks like she really wanted this relationship to last. Reactions, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments.

The post Amber Portwood & Gary Wayt Were In Couples Therapy After 'Manic Episode' -- Hers, Not His! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

According to a report from The US Sun, the longtime Teen Mom star and her husband Taylor McKinney were hit with a tax lien earlier this month that totals a whopping $351,699. And that’s only the start of their troubles! They have FOUR other tax liens they are also simultaneously facing. Jeez!!

Related: Amber Portwood Dragged By Fans For Making Daughter Leah Cry At Birthday Dinner!

Per that outlet’s shocking Tuesday afternoon reveal, the 32-year-old MTV veteran and her 35-year-old husband were slapped with that federal tax lien back on June 6. A clerk in a tax assessor’s office in Tennessee told the outlet Taylor is named in three of the four other liens on Maci, too:

“There are five unreleased liens on Maci and three of those are with Taylor named as well.”

Not great…

Here’s the rundown of those shocking tax demands: back on May 10, the couple was hit with a federal lien for $86,620. Even earlier than that, in early February, Maci alone was named in two more liens. One of those was for $105,346, while the other one came in at $49,383. And last year, in a different Tennessee county separate from where they make their Chattanooga-area home, the couple was hit with ANOTHER lien! The 2023 demand totaled $143,413 — and yes, per the U.S. Sun‘s reporting, that lien is still open and active, too.

When you tally together every single one of the unpaid tax bills the government claims that the Teen Mom veteran owes, you get… drum roll please… $736,461!

Nearly three quarters of a million bucks! OUCH!!!

We hope Maci and Taylor can make things right with all these unpaid dollars. They own a home and a bunch of land in rural Tennessee, where they live with their children Jayde, 9, and Maverick, 8, as well as Maci’s 15-year-old son Bentley from her previous relationship with infamous ex Ryan Edwards. Sending good wishes on the fam getting everything squared away ASAP!
