“I got divorced and that sucks for anyone, especially in the public eye, especially on tour, especially in the middle of a very public career, two of us, you know what I mean? It just was a really not fun time,” Lambert, 42, said on the Tuesday, October 27, episode of Ross Golan’s “And the Writer Is…” podcast.

Lambert continued, “I, in the meantime, had moved back to Nashville full-time, and so I dove headfirst into songwriting.” (The country music star had lived with Shelton, 50, in Oklahoma, until their split was announced in 2015.)

Adding that she used her “misery” to create her sixth studio album, The Weight of These Wings, Lambert detailed what happened next. “When I moved back [to Nashville] in 2015, I gathered up all of my friends and relationships from, you know, all of the previous years and just used it, used the misery,” she said.

“I used the staying out too late at honky-tonks. I used what I was living and my friends went on that journey with me, friends being songwriters, and I think I wrote 75 songs in, like, a year. I mean, in, like, the first four months I moved back.”

Lambert and Shelton dated for 10 years and were married for four years after tying the knot in Texas in 2011. A source told Us exclusively at the time that there were “no hard feelings” and the pair simply wanted to “move on as friends, and they are doing just that.”

In the years that followed, Shelton went on to marry fellow musician Gwen Stefani in 2021. For Lambert’s part, she announced in February 2019 that she had secretly married former New York City Police Department officer Brendan McLoughlin one month prior after the duo began dating three weeks before that.

Earlier this year, Lambert and McLoughlin stepped out together for a special night out at the 2026 Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas, where Lambert won two awards and performed her track, “Crisco.”

At one stage, McLoughlin was seen leaping to his feet and clapping for his lady when Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas,” which Lambert co-wrote and produced, won Single of the Year.

Lambert said during a 2024 interview with Us that the couple’s dynamic helps her conquer challenges. “He calls me out, and I love that. I need that,” she told Us at the time. “I don’t think it’s healthy that people, especially artists or celebrities, surround themself with yes people. If you surround yourself with a group of people who are honest with you, you’ll go a lot farther, and it’s a lot healthier in the long run.”

“Maybe it was a vibe that I subconsciously got … something’s not right about a person, and you don’t actively register it. But your body tells you when something’s off,” Noelle Rasmussen told The Telegraph in an article published on Tuesday, October 27.

The outlet noted that it had spoken to Rasmussen, who is the niece of Thomas Sr.’s daughter Meghan Markle, five days after the Duchess of Sussex’s estranged dad was publicly accused of possessing a collection of child pornography materials inside his Philippines home.

Thomas Sr. has denied possessing the images and historical accusations of child sexual abuse, branding the accusations as “sick lies.” He has not been charged with any crimes.

Thomas Markle's Ex-Wife Allegedly Wrote 2018 Child Sexual Abuse Letter

Us has reached out to representatives for Thomas Sr. for comment.

Rasmussen, whose mother, Samantha Markle, has publicly defended her father, Thomas Sr., in light of the allegations, added that news of the claims did not shock her. “It doesn’t surprise me,” Rasmussen told the outlet. “The more and more I think about it, it just doesn’t … I don’t know why it’s not a surprise.”

She continued, “It might have been something I just didn’t register at the time, or subconsciously put any thought behind. Even as a child, it may have just been something that I registered that I didn’t know [I had].”

News of the alleged child sex abuse materials (CSAM) surfaced on Thursday, October 22, after Thomas Markle Jr. alerted Filipino authorities to what he allegedly discovered in-person inside his father’s Cebu home.

Police Confirm Meghan Markle Received Letter Accusing Dad of Abuse

According to The Sun, Thomas Jr. reportedly told friends that he was a “shaking wreck” as a result of the discovery and “realized I had to report him.”

One day later, Meghan, 45, released a statement that addressed the news while also revealing that she has received a “troubling and disturbing” letter in 2018 that detailed allegations against her father. The letter had been written and originally sent to the U.K.’s Metropolitan Police and Specialist Protection by Thomas Sr.’s late ex-wife, Roslyn Loveless, who died in 2024. (Loveless was married to Thomas Sr. from 1964 to 1975.)

Rasmussen’s interview with The Telegraph discussed her late grandmother’s letter, which was written when Rasmussen was age 16.

Filipino Authorities Investigate Images Found at Thomas Markle's House

“I remember her writing the letter … she had guts that I’ve never seen before, and she did not care what would come to her. She would just do whatever she felt was right, and she was incredible,” she said. “If she put something in a letter, it’s more than likely what she had seen to be the truth or what she had experienced. It was something that she either saw or heard or believed to be 100 percent true.”

“You’ve seen me on the court. You’ve seen me on TV. Now get to know the REAL me. A little more personal. A little more playful. And a side of Lamar you haven’t seen before,” a screenshot of his bio, published by Page Six on Tuesday, October 27, read. “Come inside my world.”

The bio also noted that he is a “2X NBA champion” and “[Los Angeles] Lakers legend,” and included a photo of the athlete grinning for the camera while seated on a black leather couch.

Odom, 46, told Us on Tuesday that despite his public profile, there’s a side to him that is yet to be revealed. “Joining OnlyFans gives me a chance to connect with my fans on a whole different level, without all the filters,” he said in a statement. “What can you expect? A little bit of everything, some surprises, and maybe a few things you wouldn’t expect from me. I’m not giving away too much just yet. You’ll have to subscribe to find out. Just know I’m keeping it real, and nothing’s off the table.”

Lamar Odom Denies Being With Ex-Wife Khloe Kardashian for Clout

Odom, who married Kardashian, 42, in 2009 before she filed to divorce him twice prior to their 2016 divorce finalization, also told TMZ on Tuesday that he’s anticipating being judged by the public after joining the adult content subscription service.

“People hear OnlyFans and automatically think one thing, but I’m not here to tell you what you will or won’t see,” he told the outlet. “I’ve lived a pretty wild life.”

Both outlets also reported that Odom’s girlfriend, L.A. real estate agent Rachel Bradley, is also signed up to OnlyFans and the couple may share joint content in the future.

Khloe Kardashian Makes Shocking Claims About Lamar’s ‘Monstrous’ Drug Use

Odom’s first OnlyFans post was also captured by both outlets as screenshots of him without a shirt flaunted a sunny day in a resort swimming pool. In the images, he wore sunglasses and was seen licking his lips.

The star’s social media move comes just days after Kardashian was seen talking about Odom during an episode of The Kardashians. During a conversation with Scott Disick in the Thursday, October 22, episode of the reality TV show, Kardashian criticized the way Odom’s son, LJ, had spoken about her and her family in the Netflix documentary Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom. (Odom shares son LJ, 24, and daughter Destiny, 27, with his ex Liza Morales, as well as son Jayden who died from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) when he was six months’ old.)

Khloe Slams Lamar's 'Gross' Sex Doll of Her — But Why Is Her Mom Supportive?

Kardashian told Disick, 43, on the show, “They [Netflix] sent me the footage so I can watch the whole thing. The son, LJ, is like, ‘I only came around for Christmas because I knew Kris [Jenner] and Khloé were going to spend a lot of money on me. It was so gross how they were talking about me.” (Jenner, 70, is Kardashian’s mom.)

Disick, who shares sons Mason, 16, and Reign, 11, and daughter Penelope, 14, with his ex and Khloe’s sister, Kourtney Kardashian, added in the conversation that Odom’s family were “pretty rude” at the time both families had spent the holiday season together.

In March 2017, four women claimed that Masterson sexually assaulted them in the early 2000s. A fifth woman came forward in December 2017, claiming that while she was dating the actor, he “repeatedly raped” her.

Masterson maintained his innocence and pleaded not guilty in January 2021 to three counts of rape. His first trial began in fall 2022, which ended in a mistrial. Masterson went back on trial in spring 2023 when he was convicted of two counts of rape.

The actor was sentenced in September 2023 to 30 years in prison. That same month, his wife Bijou Phillips filed for divorce.

Masterson remains in prison after his October 2026 appeal was denied.

Scroll down for more details on Masterson’s sexual assault case, trial and his civil lawsuit:

This is an ongoing article that was originally published in January 2022 and last updated in October 2026.

Us can confirm on Tuesday, October 27, that a three-judge panel rejected each of Masterson’s arguments for an appeal.

According to the 89-page ruling viewed by Us, the panel confirmed his 30 years to life prison sentence, after Masterson was initially found guilty of two counts of forcible rape, garnering two consecutive sentences of 15 years to life on each.

Masterson was found guilty in spring 2023 of raping two women at his home in 2003. The jurors were unable to reach a verdict on the third count involving the That ‘70s Show alum’s former girlfriend, who alleged she was sexually assaulted by the actor in 2001.

Danny Masterson Fights to Overturn Rape Conviction in New Petition

In Masterson’s appeal, his attorneys argued that the trial judge, Judge Charlaine Olmedo, was biased against Scientology, which the accused practices.

The Ranch alum’s legal team claimed that Olmedo made a series of remarks during trial about the religion that allegedly affected his First Amendment rights.

During the trial, Olmedo allowed a former Scientologist to testify as an expert on the church’s beliefs and practices.

The prosecution claimed that the victims, who were all part of the church but have since left, didn’t report the alleged attacks right away due to fear of retaliation for violating a Scientology rule about going to the police.

The panel, however, found on Tuesday that the judge’s statements showed “no animus or departure from neutrality regarding Scientology.”

“The jury in this case was not asked to determine the truth or falsity of Scientology doctrine or beliefs,” the appeals court wrote. “Admission of Scientology evidence for those purposes did not contravene the First Amendment.”

Masterson’s lawyers also claimed his conviction should be reversed back on the 10-year statute of limitations period, which they claimed “barred defendant’s prosecution for forcible rape.”

The appeals court denied the claim, stating that it was “inapplicable where, as here, forcible rape offenses were committed against more than one victim.”

Additionally, Masterson’s legal team argued that the case be overturned due to evidentiary rulings, claiming their client’s request for judicial notice of code of civil procedure “violated his federal and state constitutional rights to confrontation and due process,” per the filing.

Leah Remini Attends Opening Arguments for Danny Masterson's Retrial

Once again, the judges denied Masterson’s request, ruling that it was not a violation of “his federal or state constitutional rights to confrontation and due process.”

The appeals court argued that the trial court’s decision to exclude certain evidence concerning the possible effect on the victims’ pending civil action “did not preclude defendant from presenting evidence of the victims’ possible financial motives as a basis for challenging their credibility.”

Furthermore, the panel denied a separate habeas corpus petition that claimed Masterson didn’t get an adequate defense.

The actor’s appellate attorneys, Cliff Gardner and Eric Multhaup, revealed on Tuesday that they will appeal his case to the California Supreme Court and continue pursuing a separate habeas petition.

Danny Masterson's Chances of Winning Appeal Are Slim, Lawyer Says

“The appellate court’s decision to deny this appeal and deny the habeas corpus petition ignores the extraordinary new evidence that has been before them for more than a year. That evidence includes statements by both complaining witnesses that their sexual experiences with Danny Masterson were both consensual and positive,” Gardner said in a statement obtained by Us. “Danny is serving a life sentence for crimes he did not commit. No one in California — not defendants and not victims who have actually been the victim of a sex crime — is safer by virtue of today’s unfortunate decision.”

Multhaup, meanwhile, called the denial of the appeal and the habeas corpus petition “fundamentally wrong.”

“The habeas petition contains striking evidence of innocence that was never presented to the jury. For example, long before she claimed forcible rape, one of the complaining witnesses confided in two of her closest friends that her sexual experience with Danny Masterson was her ‘best sex ever.’ Now, years later, she has accused him of forcible rape and is suing him for damages,” the attorney alleged in a statement on Tuesday. “The other complaining witness — again long before she made any claim of forcible rape — had a catch-up conversation with a longtime friend who had also had sex with Danny Masterson, and they compared notes about their respective experiences in a light-hearted and favorable manner. Years later, she too accused him of forcible rape and has joined the civil lawsuit suing him for damages. None of this evidence was presented to the jury. None of it.”

Multhaup added: “The Court of Appeal did not address any of the exculpatory evidence that was contained in the habeas corpus petition, and instead justified the denial with a one-paragraph summary of the one-sided evidence presented by the prosecution. This cursory treatment reflects poorly on the administration of justice in the Court of Appeal, and will be rectified by a petition to the California Supreme Court.”

Kristy, 31, was seen getting cozy with Bryson Tiller, sharing a kiss with the 33-year-old during a Sunday, October 25, night out, according to TMZ.

Sources told the outlet that the pair are “casually seeing each other and dating.”

Us reached out to reps for Kristy for comment but did not hear back at the time of publication. Tiller’s team declined to comment.

The pair sparked romance rumors earlier this month, when Tiller seemingly said Kristy’s name during a concert, as seen in video footage shared via TikTok.

Kristy Scott Returns to Instagram With Stylish 'OOTN' Video After Split News

The rumored love connection comes nearly one year after Us confirmed that Kristy had filed for divorce from Desmond, 32, with whom she shares sons Vance, 7, and Westin, 6. In the December 2025 paperwork, the TikToker cited alleged infidelity as the reason for their split. She also stated that their marriage had “become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities,” noting that his alleged cheating “destroy[ed] the legitimate ends of the marriage relationship and prevents any reasonable expectation of reconciliation.”

Kristy and Desmond, who tied the knot in 2014, finalized their split in March, agreeing to share joint managing conservatorship of their kids and childcare costs.

Desmond broke his silence on the split in January.

Desmond Scott Seemingly Unpacks Kitchen After Kristy Scott’s Divorce Filing

“I want to begin by apologizing to Kristy, our family, and everyone who has been impacted by the public attention surrounding this situation,” he said in a statement shared via Instagram. “I know this news has been disappointing for many, and I’m truly sorry for the hurt it has caused. Kristy is the mother of my children, and that will always come first. I remain fully committed to being an active, present, and loving parent to our boys, as I have always been.”

Kristy later reflected on the split in a video of herself going grocery shopping for the first time in her “new, unexpected chapter.”

“I don’t want to get emotional, but I kind of feel like this is going to force you guys to see like, a different side of me, because you’ll always see like, my chaotic, humorous side, and it’s just not in me to do that at this current moment in time,” she shared. “I’m just like, figuring things out and trying to move forward.”

TMZ reported in March that Desmond had begun casually dating Dana Tran, the mother of one of Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ children.

Tiller, meanwhile, was previously linked to Markea Bivens, with whom he welcomed daughter Harley in 2013. He also welcomed daughter Kelly with ex Kendra Bailey in 2019.

“I did something that ruined my entire day,” Kevin, 38, revealed on the Tuesday, October 27, episode of iHeartRadio’s “Hey Jonas!” podcast. “I don’t even know how to start this. … This is my trauma.”

According to Joe, 37, the brothers have a longstanding group text with a “couple of friends” who are all New York Giants fans. When news broke that J.J. McCarthy was going to start as quarterback, things accidentally got a little spicy.

“Kevin sends through a picture to the group chat,” Nick, 34, shared. “It’s a TV, and it’s got the announcement on it, and nobody thinks much of it.”

Kevin replied, “Guys, dick’s out. The photo has mirrors, and I didn’t clock it, and it was in our bathroom, and I took the photo as I’m getting into the shower.”

At first, the group swears they didn’t even notice that they had received a questionable image in the thread. Joe was busy playing video games while Nick was getting a casual haircut.

Kevin, however, quickly got to work and started begging his friends to delete the photo.

“I’m sorry. Cuck my life,” his texts read. “F***. Delete the thread. I’m such a moron.”

The brothers tried their best not to laugh the entire time they shared the story. Perhaps it was even funnier because the trio was celebrating Halloween with Joe dressed as a hot dog wiener during the podcast taping.

“You have a massive TV in your bathroom, but there are mirrors surrounding the TV and you can only see… it’s like the greatest thing that you didn’t know happened,” Joe said. “There’s a big TV and right below it is a mirror, and it’s only your dick. It’s literally just your wiener. It’s funny for me to say that as I’m dressed as a weiner.”

Kevin added, “I just need this to end. I just came from the gym. The room is 62 degrees.”

Celebrities Share Sex Confessions Over the Years

During the podcast, Kevin revealed that after his wife, Danielle Jonas, learned of the penis photo drama, her reaction was priceless. As he recalled, “She goes, ‘Oh no.’”

Ultimately, the show must go on as the brothers proceeded to chat with special guest Josh Peck.

As for the wild text thread, something tells Us the brothers aren’t done laughing about the surprising chain of events. As Kevin said, “Dicks out for J.J. McCarthy.”

“Just as an advocate for children, clearly, you have to believe the person speaking out against him, right? You have to believe the victim,” Amy, 40, said during the Monday, October 26, episode of the “Fire Chats: The Mindfire Pod” podcast. “I will always stand up for the victim. I will always speak up for the victim.”

Amy revealed that she has “reached out” to the girl who spoke out against Joseph, 31, earlier this year, adding that they’ve communicated ahead of his trial.

“I’ve told her, I’m so proud of her. I’m so proud of her for speaking her truth because it’s so hard to do,” Amy told podcast host Carrie Berk. “When you tell the truth, you think it’s going to bring enlightenment, right? You think it’s what you’re supposed to do.”

Amy Duggar 'Angry' Over Joseph's Arrest, Calls Out 'Toxic' Family System

The Holy Disruptor author explained that’s not always the case.

“But in those circles, where they want you to be truthful and stay loyal to the family name, that kind of thing gets shunned. You get shunned for telling the truth,” Amy claimed.

That’s why Amy said she “made it very clear on where I stand” and the young girl was “very appreciative” to have someone on her side — even with the last name Duggar.

Amy recalled her conversation with the alleged victim, noting, “I’ve never experienced the things that she’s experienced, but I know she’s such a young girl, and all eyes are on her. It’s scary.”

Amy Duggar Reveals Last Time She Spoke With Joseph and Kendra Before Arrests

She remembered telling the girl, “I’m just so proud of her because she didn’t have to speak out. She could have stayed quiet. She could have gave [sic] him all the power.”

Amy pointed out that instead of shy away from the tough conversations, the girl took back her power by reporting Joseph.

“She realized what was wrong and what needed to be said, and she wasn’t scared,” Amy said. “I wanted to encourage her as she goes forward in this trial: Don’t let up. Give it all you’ve got. Be a little spitfire and speak your truth.”

She added that as the trial looms, “I’m still in contact with her” and she’s told the alleged victim’s family, “I will give them all of my support.”

Joseph was arrested in March after being accused of molesting a 9-year-old girl during a 2020 family vacation. He was later charged with lewd and lascivious molestation of a child under 12 and lewd and lascivious conduct by a person 18 or older.

The former 19 Kids and Counting star pleaded not guilty and requested a jury trial before he was released on a $600,000 bond that same month.

In June, a judge denied a motion filed by Joseph’s legal team asking that he be allowed to work at several rental properties he owns, which would place him within 500 feet of his alleged victim. (Joseph has been prohibited from contacting the alleged victim.)

The judge also denied Joseph’s second motion to allow him unsupervised contact with his and wife Kendra Duggar’s four children.

Joseph Duggar’s Alleged Victim Is ‘Not Scared' and ‘Doesn’t Want to Hide’

Amy, for her part, is firmly on the side of the alleged victim, telling podcast listeners on Monday, “I hope justice is served ice cold. I really do.”

She confessed, “And that’s really hard to say because I grew up with this person, and I loved this person, and I thought I knew this person.”

While Amy admitted she hasn’t spoken with Joseph “in five or six years now, you just assume they’re doing great. You assume they’re happily married, they love their kids, and it’s a wonderful environment, it’s healthy. It breaks your heart to find out that might not be the case.”

“You know I share just about everything with you guys,” Chrisley explained during the October 27, 2026, episode of her “Unlocked” podcast. “But I have learned that in order to protect my own peace that I had to keep things closer to the chest for a little while. That’s just for my own mental health.”

While Todd and Julie Chrisley’s daughter has continued to keep the identity of her husband-to-be, whom she often calls “J,” a secret, she revealed that the couple are engaged and have been for nearly a year. (Us exclusively confirmed in October 2026 that Savannah’s partner is in fact Galanis.)

The lovebirds, however, had to push their January 2027 nuptials to May 2027 because Savannah is pregnant.

“For the first time in a long time, I feel safe. I feel fulfilled. I can finally exhale. I found my forever in you. 💍,” Savannah wrote via Instagram that same day. “And just when I thought my heart couldn’t hold any more love, God gave us our sweetest blessing yet… we’re having a BABY! 🥹👶🏼.”

How Old Is Savannah’s Fiancé?

While Jason’s exact age hasn’t been publicly disclosed, Us learned in October 2026 that he is 56.

Savannah, for her part, has confirmed on several occasions that they have a “bit of an age gap.”

Savannah, who was born in August 1997, revealed during a June 2026 episode of the “Whine Down” podcast that Jason is younger than her father, Todd, who was born in April 1969. (At the time of this publication, Savannah was 29 and her dad was 57.)

When podcast host Jana Kramer asked whether Savannah and her mystery man have an 18-year age difference, she responded, “We’re up there.”

“You see, age-gap relationships are the new thing. … There’s all these couples that [have] a huge age-gap relationship, but it just works, like, it’s insane,” Savannah explained. “I love it because you’re not dealing with the insecurity of a younger guy who’s trying to keep up.”

In October 2026, Savannah doubled down on her comments telling her “Unlocked” podcast listeners, “Yes, there is a huge age gap there, OK? And that’s probably part of the reason why I kept a lot of it quiet, because I know how brutal the public can be. But I genuinely do not care.”

How and When Did Savannah Meet Jason?

The Chrisley Knows Best alum began dating Jason in July 2025 and did their best to keep their romance quiet for the first year.

Savannah confirmed in June 2026 during her appearance on the “Whine Down” podcast that the pair “met through the political world of D.C.,” which she became involved in while trying to get her parents, Todd and Julie, pardoned amid their respective prison sentences.

Todd and Julie were indicted in 2019 on charges of tax evasion, bank and wire fraud and conspiracy. The couple were found guilty and reported to prison in January 2023 to serve a combined 19-year sentence, Julie was sentenced to seven years while Todd received 12 years.

The pair’s sentences were later reduced by nearly two years before President Donald Trump pardoned them both in May 2025.

Savannah noted that after her parents’ pardons, she received a text from Jason congratulating her and that’s when things took off. (Jason, for his part, was pardoned by Trump in March 2025 after being sentenced in September 2020 to more than 15 years in prison for his role in two schemes, including one that defrauded the Oglala Sioux tribe and pension fund investors out of tens of millions of dollars.)

“When we truly started digging deep into things, it was so much stronger of a connection than either of us ever thought was there,” she shared.

What Does Savannah’s Fiancé Do for a Living?

Savannah has described Jason as “a financial guy,” who is secure in his career.

“I feel like so many women in today’s day and age are the primary breadwinners for their family and they feel like they have to dim their light in order to make their partner feel better, and I’m like, ‘No,’” Savannah said on the “Whine Down” podcast in June 2026. “First off, he does way better than I do, and I love that because I’m like, ‘I don’t have to. You’re not intimidated by me. You think what I do is great. You don’t try to stifle me.’ He’s built his businesses, so now he’s kind of loving life and now he’s like, ‘You go do your thing.’”

When Did Jason Propose to Savannah?

Jason popped the question to the Growing Up Chrisley alum in December 2025 just five months into their relationship. The romantic moment transpired during a trip to the Cayman Islands.

“When he gave me the ring, he was like, ‘Before I open this, I just want you to know that this is just an expression of love to you. This can be whatever you want it to be. This can be an engagement ring, a promise ring, a cocktail ring for all I care. I just want you to know how much I love you,’” Savannah recalled during an October 2026 episode of her podcast. “And there was no pressure ever put on me to, like, ‘You have to accept this as this.’”

Savannah did say “yes” to the proposal, calling the moment “magical.”

Does Jason Have Any Kids?

Savannah revealed in October 2026 that she and Jason are expecting their first baby together. (Jason was previously married but doesn’t have any children from the union.)

“J, watching the way you already love and protect our baby before he/she has even entered this world has made me fall in love with you in an entirely new way,” the TV personality wrote via Instagram. “Not a single doctor’s appointment missed. Constantly caring for me, talking about our baby, and reminding me how beautiful my growing bump is. I thank God every day that this baby gets to call you Daddy. 🤍”

Days after Rob, 39, joined his family for sister Kim Kardashian’s birthday dinner, Chyna, 38, reacted to viral photos from his appearance.

“Oh, and I wanted to tell you, too, I seen your pictures, too, on the internet,” Chyna said on a Saturday, October 24, Kick livestream shared to social media, where she filmed herself on the phone with Rob. “And everybody’s like, ‘Ooo, Rob! Rob!’ They’re going crazy over you.”

Rob appeared surprised by the reaction, replying, “I don’t know why they’re saying that, ‘cause I felt like I looked crazy. But it’s OK.”

Chyna (real name Angela White) called her ex “modest,” for his reaction, adding, “Nah, the pictures was fire.”

“No, that’s just how I feel,” Rob replied. “But it’s all good. All good.”

Rob was spotted with mom Kris Jenner and sisters Kim, 46, Kourtney Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian and Kylie Jenner at Baldi at the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills on Wednesday, October 21, according to photos published by gossip site DeuxMoi. For the outing, Rob donned all black and smiled as he was photographed leaving the event.

Rob has kept it low-profile in recent years, often opting not to be included in the family’s The Kardashians docuseries. On Saturday, Rob and Chyna — who welcomed daughter Dream in 2016 — offered fans a rare glimpse of their coparenting relationship. (Rob and Chyna were in a relationship from 2016 to 2017.)

Rob went on to unveil his father-daughter plans, which included a Halloween-themed activity.

While Rob has not made a cameo in The Kardashians season 8, Khloé has expressed her hope that her brother returns to the camera in the future.

“I know everyone is hoping that Rob comes back to the show. Trust me, we are too,” Khloé said in a confessional for the October 2025 episode. “Rob is doing well. He is alive. … The conspiracies run wild, and one of them is that he lives with me and he’s in our shadows and we don’t want him around. He isn’t some miserable person that lives under a bridge. We are totally fine.”

“I was able to try a medicine that freed me from the struggle and the fight. I went to @beond.us (this isn’t a sales pitch). I can say it saved my life and it gave me my joy and love for the world back,” Ronnie, 40, wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, October 27. “It’s been 4 months. I haven’t had to take any depression meds, anxiety, bipolar and touched a drink or drug. Never too late to start over 💪 My journey starts now!”

Beond provides medically supervised ibogaine treatment for people living with PTSD, depression, anxiety and chemical dependency, with physician oversight, continuous cardiac monitoring and structured preparation and aftercare according to its website.

After Ronnie shared his story, the company reposted his Instagram and wrote, “It was an honor to support him, and we’re cheering him on as his journey continues.”

Ronnie, who shares daughter Ariana Sky Magro, 8, with ex-girlfriend Jen Harley, has been open about his struggles with mental health and addiction over the years.

At the beginning of the year, the reality star said he was at “one of the lowest points of my life.”

“My mental health and my addiction brought me to such a dark place it had me questioning whether this life is worth it,” he revealed. “I’ve always struggled with both but never at the same time. I felt something inside of me turn off. I stopped caring about the things that were most important to me. I started to resent this beautiful life I was given.”

In his latest social media post, Ronnie posted pictures as a reminder “of a person and place I never want to be again.”

“Hopeless, resentful, not present. The smiles were fake. The, ‘Yes I’m doing good’ were fake. I lost all enjoyment in things in my life,” he said. “I stayed in this for months. Knowing I was destroying everything I built and hurting the people I love.”

After praying every day for the strength to “take my life back,” Ronnie said he is feeling so much better both mentally and physically.

“Thank you all for the love and support from everyone,” he wrote.

Us can exclusively confirm the man Chrisley, 29, simply refers to as “J” or “Jason” is Jason Galanis.

“We do everything together,” Chrisley shared on the Tuesday, October 27, episode of her “Unlocked” podcast. “It’s just such an amazing, fulfilling feeling to finally find your person. And I’m there. So yes, the age difference. So what?”

Us has learned Galanis is 56 years old, or 27 years older than Chrisley. Before his name was revealed, the reality star pointed out on her podcast that her fiancé “does not look his age, nor does he act his age.”

“His body is great. His mind is even sharper. So I really don’t care, OK?” she added. “Like, this person is the love of my life. And it made all the heartbreak that I’ve gone through worth it. And all the heartbreak taught me something. It taught me what I want, what I don’t want, what I should accept, what I shouldn’t accept.”

Galanis previously made headlines when President Donald Trump commuted his prison sentence in March 2025.

Galanis was an associate of Hunter Biden who testified in the Republican impeachment inquiry into former President Joe Biden in March 2024 while he was still behind bars.

The White House did not explain its reasoning for granting clemency to Galanis, who had been sentenced in September 2020 to more than 15 years in prison for his role in two schemes, including one that defrauded a Native American tribe and investors out of tens of millions of dollars.

Trump, 80, pardoned Savannah’s parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, in May 2025 — two months after Galanis — as part of their bank fraud and tax evasion case. (Todd, 57, and Galanis notably both served time at the Federal Prison Camp in Pensacola, Florida.)

“It’s a terrible thing, but it’s a great thing, because your parents are going to be free and clean,” the president told Savannah at the time, adding, “I don’t know them, but give them my regards. Wish them a good life.”

Galanis doesn’t appear to have a public social media profile, but he was photographed visiting Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida with Savannah and her parents in April.

As Savannah prepares to become a mom, she remains grateful to have found Galanis.

“The amount of love and respect that we have, we have so many dreams and we dream together, we work together,” she shared on her podcast. “We want to have life experiences with each other. And I think that’s when you know you have the right person, when you don’t feel like you have to escape them at times.”

In an excerpt shared with The Hollywood Reporter on Monday, October 26, Franklyn, 34, claimed that she and Cooper, 32, had spent months negotiating with Barstool and Dave Portnoy over the IP for “Call Her Daddy.” (The podcast launched at Barstool in 2018, where it lived until 2021.)

After a FaceTime with Cooper, Franklyn received a phone call from the pair’s lawyer, Bruce.

“‘Hi, Sofia, one more thing and then I’ll send over that form for you to sign. I reviewed Alex’s contract. Remember you guys told me you had the same agreement, so I was just working off yours, but what was the basis for her higher compensation?’” Franklyn recalled Bruce asking her, writing that she felt like she had “been told someone died.”

“‘As in, she’s making more money than me?’” Franklyn asked Bruce, who replied, “‘Yeah, is that not something you’d talked about?’”

Franklyn alleged that it was not something the pair had discussed, before asking Bruce if he thought “that’s weird she lied to you about it?” He replied, “Well, it’s something to keep in mind …”

Franklyn noted that Bruce’s “unwavering neutrality” was “off-putting” but said that was something she would “think about” later.

“All rationality is gone. The bitch. I feel pure hatred. I might combust,” she wrote. “Who is this person? Alex, who is she? Am I stupid? Gullible? Dumb? Naive? Living something that wasn’t true? That’s not true? Was she ever my friend? She was! I saw it. I felt it. I live in her apartment. Our apartment. I take the train to work with her, and then I sit next to her at work, and then I take the train home with her. Together. And then we go to Bubby’s and order pancakes if we feel like it. I’ve seen her cry. She’s seen me. Really seen me.”

She continued, “How long has she been carrying this secret? Am I so bad she was scared to tell me? And still is? But this secret is so …small. Who cares? She knows I wouldn’t, if she’d just told me. What was so bad about it that she’d lie to our attorney? Send him into meetings like the village idiot?”

Franklyn noted that she began to “think about every contract conversation we’ve ever had,” adding that she believed Cooper “wouldn’t do this” and “lie about something so stupid.”

“When did she start making more money?” she wrote. “Why wouldn’t she just tell me about it? Not just as a friend, but while we’re sitting in meetings and calls for six months fighting for fair pay. As CO-OWNERS. Why is she doing this? What is the truth?”

Franklyn wrote that she was “dropped into a panic attack,” noting that she felt like “there must be a reason” why Cooper “lied.” She went on to call Cooper’s best friend from high school, Muji, who allegedly said he “knew the whole time” about the pay.

“I feel like I need to purge the last two years of my life,” she wrote in her memoir. “I want to wash myself from the inside out. All of my memories are violated. Do I need to get my sight checked? What did I miss? It’s not just the last few months. There were secrets even at the peak of our friendship. I thought Muji would give me an answer to today, to our battle with Dave and where to go next. But I know now it goes even further back.”

She continued, “Is this who she is? I think about all the times I thought we were sisters, all the moments when it felt like the energy of the world could be generated from us ping-ponging off each other alone. Where did that girl go? Who am I without her? Muji ends the call by repeating that he saw it all coming and hangs up. I’m in shock. No moves left, besides throwing my phone at the wall as hard as I can.”

Cooper, for her part, told “Call Her Daddy” listeners in 2020 that she and Franklyn had signed a three-year deal with Barstool and made $75,000 their first year, $85,000 the second year and $100,000 the third. While they both received a raise during their first year because of the podcast’s performance, Cooper — who handled the production side — got an extra bump.

While Cooper initially signed an exclusive deal with Spotify following her Barstool exit, she has since signed a $125 million deal with SiriusXM. Franklyn, for her part, launched her “Sofia With an F” podcast in 2020 after leaving “Call Her Daddy” behind.

Following her broken engagement to Nic Kerdiles in 2020, Chrisley jumped back into the dating pool. She was briefly linked to country singer Matt Snell in 2022, but it didn’t grow into a full-on relationship.

“The waters were definitely tested,” Chrisley teased about Snell during a September 2022 appearance on SiriusXM’s The Highway. “You got to date to know where you got to land.”

The following year, Chrisley revealed she was “dating someone,” but told Kaitlyn Bristowe on her “Off the Vine” podcast in May 2023 she wasn’t sure she wanted to publicly share details.

“People are just hateful. They’re always gonna compare to the last person you were with,” Chrisley explained. “And I’m just like, ‘You know what? Maybe I’m not quite ready to let you in on that.’”

In October 2026, Chrisley surprised fans by announcing she is engaged and expecting a baby with a man named Jason.

Scroll down to see who Chrisley has been romantically linked to over the years:

The world met Todd and Julie Chrisley in March 2014 when their show, Chrisley Knows Best, began airing on USA Network. The series followed the couple, who have been married since May 1996, and their children, Chase, Savannah and Grayson. Lindsie and Kyle, the two children the former real estate investor shares with ex-wife Teresa Terry, also appeared on earlier seasons of the show.

As their stars rose, interest in the Chrisley kids’ dating lives increased. Lindsie, for her part, made headlines in July 2021 when she split from husband Will Campbell for the third time since their 2012 elopement.

Savannah, meanwhile, never made it down the aisle with her former fiancé, Nic Kerdiles. The pair got engaged in April 2019 but later revealed that they had postponed their wedding. The reality star ultimately announced via Instagram in September 2020 that she and the hockey player had split. In 2026, Savannah announced that she is pregnant and engaged to fiancé Jason.

Scroll through the gallery below to find out who the Chrisleys are dating now:

The topic of marriage was at the forefront of a November 2025 episode of her “Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley” podcast, as Savannah, 28, was joined by her dad, Todd Chrisley, who only wanted to know one thing: when will she walk down the aisle?

“Do you have a desire to get married at some point?” Todd, 56, asked his daughter.

She answered, “I mean, yeah, eventually.” Todd didn’t seem exactly pleased with that answer and joked back, “Do you think it will be before I draw social security?”

Savannah Chrisley Reveals Advice Brittany Aldean Gave Her After Robert Split

In October 2026, Savannah revealed that she is not only engaged to Jason, but she’s also expecting their first baby.

Savannah was previously engaged to ex Nic Kerdiles before the pair broke up in 2020. She also contemplated marrying ex Robert Shiver before their split in 2025.

Savannah Is Scared of Getting Married

In a June 2023 episode of her “Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley” podcast, Savannah admitted she was scared of the idea of getting married.

“It’s so hard, because in the South, too, you experience this [viewpoint] like, ‘You should be married. You should have kids,’” Savannah explained. “[But] I say the thought of marriage scares me more than kids.”

She continued, “I don’t know if it’s maybe – and this is gonna sound so bad – but I think maybe because kids, you’re in control of, you know? So if I were to have a kid, it’s my responsibility to take care of them and make sure they get from point A to point B.”

“But with marriage, it’s kind of like you’re giving over a part of yourself to someone,” she also said. “So they have the ability to hurt you.”

She Didn’t Want to Get Married While Her Parents Were in Prison

The fact that both of her parents were in prison at the time also weighed on Savannah’s thoughts about marriage. In the same podcast, she explained, “In my mind, I can’t move on with my life. Until I know that they’re going to be there, I can’t get married. I can’t have a kid. … [But I know] they’re going to eventually one day get to be a part of it.”

She Considered Marrying Ex Robert Shiver

Savannah and ex Robert Shiver ended their relationship for good in March 2025, but not until the pair had contemplated getting married. “We’ve definitely talked about it. We both know, ‘Hey, this is what we want out of life.’ But he’s got some stuff to work through on his side of things before that can ever happen,” she told People in March 2025 of the possibility.

Savannah Thought She Wanted a Big Wedding

“I’ve always said, I want this huge wedding,” Savannah told People in the same March interview. “I want all these things. When in reality, I feel like, when you’re in the right situation, you’re in the right relationship, you don’t need all these crazy, outward, extravagant things to prove your love for someone.”

She Reflected on the Meaning of Happiness After Calling Off an Engagement

Back in 2020, Savannah shared a lengthy post about the meaning of happiness after she and former fiancé Nic Kerdiles split. The pair got engaged in 2018.

Per The Sun, the quote read, “You’re going to realize it one day – that happiness was never about your job or your degree or being in a relationship. Happiness was never about following in the footsteps of all of those who came before you; it was never about being like the others.”

The post continued: “One day, you’re going to see it – that happiness was always about the discovery, the hope, the listening to your heart and following it wherever it chose to go.”

“Happiness was always about being kinder to yourself; it was always about embracing the person you were becoming,” the quote continued. “One day, you will understand that happiness was always about learning how to live with yourself, that your happiness was never in the hands of others. It was always about you. It was always about you.”

‘I’ve Prayed for This’

Savannah announced her engagement and pregnancy via Instagram in October 2026.

“I’ve prayed for this life. I’ve cried for this life. And there were moments I truly wondered if this life would ever be mine. 🥹🤍,” she wrote. “The past few years have taken me through fires I never imagined I’d have to walk through. Seasons of heartbreak, loss, and moments when I didn’t know if I would ever make it to the other side. I wondered if I would ever find my forever… if I would ever feel safe enough to truly breathe again. And then God sent me J. 🤍.”

She added, “For the first time in a long time, I feel safe. I feel fulfilled. I can finally exhale. I found my forever in you. 💍.”

Scroll down to remember all the stars who died in 2026:

A rep for the actress confirmed to People that Saint James died on Monday, October 26, after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

In a statement shared with the outlet, Saint James’ family remembered her as someone “generous with her time and energy, which she valued more than money, and instinctively drawn to whoever needed lifting up. She taught her children to pause, be kind and look out for other people.”

They continued, “She never met a stranger. Every person she met became the most important person in the room at that moment, from a fellow board member to the clerk at the shoe store, who usually walked away knowing her entire life story. Her defining act: weeks after losing her youngest son, Teddy, in the November 28, 2004 plane crash, she delivered his eulogy as a note to each of her other children and her husband, giving them words to heal,” the statement read.

Saint James’ family noted that the actress “put everyone else first,” even in “the deepest grief of her life.”

“Days after the crash she sat with Tim Russert to thank the people who had reached out and to tell them the family was OK,” the statement read. “She brought that same fire and positivity to everything that followed, and never lost it.”

Saint James is survived by her husband, Dick Ebersol, and children Sunshine Lucas, Harmony Lucas, Charlie Ebersol and Willie Ebersol, as well as her seven grandchildren, sister Mary Mercedes Dewey and “beloved service dog” Lola. (Saint James shared daughter Sunshine and son Harmony with ex Tom Lucas, whom she divorced in 1977.)

Saint James got her start in Hollywood in the ‘60s, when she appeared in the movie Where Angels Go, Trouble Follows. She landed a role on the TV series The Name of The Game in 1968, earning three Emmy nominations for her performance and one win.

She then starred on McMillan & Wife in 1971, receiving three more Emmy nominations for her role as Sally McMillan. Saint James was part of the show for five seasons. In 1984, she began starring as Kate McArdle on the sitcom Kate & Allie, which earned her two Emmy nominations.

Saint James largely retired from acting in the ‘80s, but in the years after, she made some rare appearances on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and more. She received a Hollywood Walk of Fame star in 2008.
