Ne-Yo’s Baby Mama Speaks On Getting Pregnant During His Marriage

by

Ne-Yo has written some beautiful love songs throughout his career, but that doesn’t mean they’re inspired by his romantic life. Unfortunately for the R&B artist, the last year has been a tough one for his personal relationships. Last August, his wife, Crystal Renay filed for divorce from the vocalist. At the time, she claimed he welcomed a child with another woman.

Those allegations have proven to be true in recent months. While he and his ex were able to finalize their separation a few days ago, the other woman in his life is venting her frustrations about the situation on social media. In a recent upload, she reflected on the pain of finding herself pregnant with Ne-Yo’s baby while he was married to someone else.

Recently, @itsbigsade shared maternity photos on her feed, along with a lengthy message airing out her feelings. “Angel of mine,” she began. “Coming to terms with the delicate circumstances. When I felt like I just couldn’t take on another load, especially at the expense of another person’s happiness… Sometimes even my own… Wasn’t the easiest decision.”

“However, I have to choose me,” the expecting mother went on. “Therefore, I have to choose you. The JOY Braiden gives me every day strengthened me and let me know I can do this gracefully.” She adds that her intention is to go through pregnancy with “love, compassion, and penitence” for her wrongdoing.

In conclusion, Sade says she’s patiently waiting for her little one’s arrival and is ready for the journey they’ll go on together. Additionally, she acknowledged that plenty of lessons and blessings lay ahead for them both. “I can’t wait to meet you my buttercup!! xoxo MOMMY.”

At this time, it remains unclear if Ne-Yo plans to play an active role in his new child’s life. However, the expecting father has been using his new status as a single man to get up close and personal with some fans. Check out a video of him caressing a woman twerking for him late last year here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Ben Affleck Clowned For Looking Miserable At Grammys With Jennifer Lopez

by

One of the biggest celebrity weddings we witnessed in 2022 was undoubtedly between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. Two decades after previously ending their first engagement, the former lovers made their way back to each other. They tied the knot in a stunning Georgia ceremony, and since then, have been enjoying life together as newlyweds.

While the Gone Girl star works primarily in the film industry, his multi-talented wife dabbles in both acting and music. Seeing as she’s had a generally successful career as a singer, Lopez was invited to attend Sunday’s (February 5) Grammy Awards as a presenter. Much to the audience’s avail, her husband chiefly tagged along as her date for the evening.

The newlyweds didn’t walk the star-studded red carpet, but the Hustlers starlet did make her debut on stage early on. She handed out the first trophy of the night, specifically for Best Pop Vocal Album to Harry Styles and his Harry’s House effort. Unfortunately for Affleck, his wife obviously wasn’t able to leave after carrying out her role.

Several times throughout the undeniably lengthy award ceremony, cameras panned to the 50-year-old looking increasingly bored. Whether watching Stevie Wonder perform “Higher Ground,” or simply soaking in the presence of other celebrities, the look on his face reads as though he’d rather be anywhere else than at the Grammys.

Unsurprisingly, Twitter users are explicitly having a field day making memes of Affleck’s expression. Some pointed out that it’s sad to see him looking so miserable in the presence of his dream girl – especially now that he’s finally married her. Others, however, find it comedic that the father of three is so often caught on camera looking miserable.

“Ben Affleck is every introvert everywhere. You can see his batteries draining in real-time. Man is already at 23%,” one user later joked. Another person wrote, “Ben Affleck is every husband dragged to a work thing by his wife.” Furthermore, people expressed gratitude for the cameraman who kept eyes on the Argo actor throughout the night.

Khloé Kardashian Asks “Who Has Time For A Man?” Amid Tristan Thompson Reconciliation Rumours

by

In the past, Khloé Kardashian has expressed a lack of interest in romantically reconciling with her baby daddy, Tristan Thompson. The NBA player has previously committed a number of adulterous acts while dating the California native. Still, she’s been by his side following the death of his mother, Andrea Thompson, early last month.

Due to her undeniably caring nature, some fans have speculated that the Canadian’s recent loss will push him and the mother of two back together. They spent some time in Ontario to arrange a funeral with other Kardashian-Jenner clan members and Drake. Since then, it’s been reported that Thompson purchased a house just two miles from his ex.

As Page Six notes, the reunion rumours only circulated faster thanks to an interesting post on the Good American founder’s Story last week. “A woman that found peace instead of revenge can never be bothered,” the quote in question says. While the gossip continues to spread, Kardashian has made it known that she’s not interested in dating on Twitter.

“Who has time for a man lol? I have a 6-month-old baby and [my daughter] True and I are sickly codependent on one another. Ha! I secretly love it,” she wrote during a Q&A with followers early on Monday (February 6). “No but for real… No man right now… He’s in my prayers too ha!”

A source close to the former couple insists that they’re not romantically involved again. The last time they were working on their relationship was when Thompson met Maralee Nichols. He subsequently welcomed his fourth child with her following their hookup gone wrong. For her part, Khloé was briefly linked to a private equity investor last summer. Later on, she also made headlines with 365 Days actor Michele Morrone.

Before she met Thompson, Kardashian was previously in an equally as tumultuous relationship with Lamar Odom. Since their divorce was finalized several years ago, the former NBA player has been candid about his wrongdoings in their marriage. Specifically, he admits that he’s embarrassed about past acts of infidelity.

During a recent interview, the 43-year-old recalled a time when his then-wife walked in on him with another woman in a hotel room. According to Odom’s account, the reality starlet went on to “beat [the] bitch ass,” though no charges were pressed as a result of the altercation. Read all about that drama here, and check back later for more pop culture news.

Hailie Jade Announces Engagement, Eminem’s Daughter To Marry Long-Term Boyfriend

by

In the early days of his career, Eminem frequently made mention of his daughter, Hailie Jade, throughout his music. From “Hailie’s Song” to “My Dad’s Gone Crazy,” the father of three made his love for the young girl evident from the start. Though it seems like just yesterday when she was a little girl, the social media star revealed today (February 6) that she’s officially engaged to be married.

The Detroit native shared a selection of photos to Instagram earlier this afternoon. The first one finds her popping open a bottle of champagne with her beau. In the next shot, he’s down on one knee, holding a jewellery box in his hands. At the same time, Jade looks at him in obvious shock and excitement.

Image number three gives a close-up of the elegant ring. It sits on the newly engaged entertainer’s finger as she holds a glass of champagne. “Casual weekend recap… 2.4.23,” she wrote in the caption. “I love you @evanmcclintock11.”

In the post’s comment section, several fans have already been making Eminem-related jokes. “Did he pass the freestyle test tho?” someone asked Jade. “Looks like his knees were [weak],” another person joked, referencing the 8 Mile star’s “Lose Yourself” lyrics. Even with the dry humour unfolding in her replies, the social media personality looks to be happier than ever.

As TMZ notes, we know little about the couple’s relationship, aside from the fact it began in 2016. Slim Shady also appears to have given his approval. He previously briefly spoke about his daughter’s romance during a podcast interview. In the chat, the “Mockingbird” hitmaker praised his adult kid for following a good path, graduating college, and maintaining a steady relationship.

News of a wedding is certainly exciting, but that’s not the only thing Hailie has been working on as of late. In the midst of last summer, she unveiled her plans to launch the Just A Little Shady podcast, during which she reflects on life growing up with a world-famous parent, among other things.

In another episode last fall, the bride-to-be hosted a Q&A with fans during which she candidly addressed their inquiries. At one point, she took time to specifically explain whether she’s bothered by people asking questions about her celebrity dad.

Angela Simmons & Yo Gotti Step Out For Grammys Date Night

by

After previously rapping about his crush on Angela Simmons in his “Down In The DMs” track, Yo Gotti has officially bagged the 35-year-old. Relationship rumours began circulating last September when she rapped along to the aforementioned namedrop during a night of partying. Shortly afterwards, they raised more eyebrows by posting matching vacation photos on their Instagrams.

Things were relatively quiet for the CMG head and his rumoured girl through the last few months of 2022. However, when the new year began, the New York native promptly let the world know that she was “happier than ever” with Yo Gotti. We’ve obviously been seeing more and more of the couple in public recently. This past weekend, for example, they spent their date night at the Grammys.

Like many other huge names in the industry, Gotti took a trip to Los Angeles to walk the red carpet and take in some astounding performances last night (February 5). His date for the evening, Simmons, looked as stunning as ever in a curve-hugging black dress. It came complete with a white feather trim around the bottom.

She also wore her hair in a slick updo, complete with a bang. For his part, the recording artist looked undeniably dapper in a black and white tuxedo. He opted to accessorize with a bowtie and shiny studs in his ears. In a video later uploaded to his social media, Gotti and the shoe designer walk through the venue as he tells the camera that Simmons’ feet are in pain.

“She gotta get it together,” the 41-year-old jokes as she struggles to keep up. After seeing the pair take on the red carpet together, some Twitter users chiefly expressed concern at their lack of smiles and genuine energy in some photos. “This Angela Simmons and Yo Gotti relationship seems very pressed [and] staged,” one user said.

“Idk what it is, just not looking [like an] organic, genuine relationship.” Another added, “Yo Gotti ain’t smiled since he been with Angela Simmons.” On the other hand, other social media sleuths simply praised the Memphis native for finally bagging his longtime crush.

Stassie Karanikolaou & Jaden Hossler Are IG Official, Kylie Jenner’s BFF Kisses 21-Year-Old In New Pics

by

Kylie Jenner has been in the spotlight since she was a little girl, thanks to Keeping Up With the Kardashians. As she grew up in the public eye, the mother of two also introduced some of her friends into the world of celebrity – chiefly Jordyn Woods and Stassie Karanikolaou. The socialite is no longer friends with the former, but she and the latter remain incredibly close.

As the bestie of a billionaire, fans are naturally curious about the 25-year-old’s life. She shares much of it with followers on Instagram. Like many other stars, though, she prefers to keep her love life lowkey. In recent weeks, however, she and TikTok star Jaden Hossler have been fuelling romance rumours with their flirtatious posts.

On January 20th, the 21-year-old included Stassie in his “Sorry. Mommy?” viral video challenge. This is what first prompted fans to speculate something is unfolding between the pair. “Can we take this as confirmation of their relationship?” one user pondered in the comments.

Earlier this month, the internet personality posted Hossler on her TikTok page. The audio she used at the time said, “And then there were two,” further turning the rumour mill. Over the weekend, things only got more serious when they confirmed their romance with a kiss on Instagram.

On Sunday (February 5), the Tennessee native shared two photos of him and Stassie standing in the mirror. The first sees them cooly posing, her rocking all black while he pairs a periwinkle blue shirt with his dark bottoms. With a swipe of their finger, followers then see the pair sharing a sweet kiss, Hossler’s arm wrapped around his girl’s shoulder.

Additionally, Stassie sneakily confirmed their relationship in a photo dump of her own. “My life be life,” she wrote in the caption yesterday, kicking things off with an image of a friend pouring her a cocktail. Afterward, we see a fun mirror selfie with her BFF Jenner, an adorable grey kitty, and a subtle thirst trap.

Later on in the post, the model dropped off a picture of Hossler laying behind her. His tattooed wrist is obviously visible behind her head. Neither of them has officially spoken about their budding romance, but as they say, a picture (or two) is worth a thousand words.

Chrisean Rock Asks Blueface If He Wants “New P*ssy” During Drunken Argument: Video

by

Just last month, it sounded as though Blueface and Chrisean Rock were pulling the plug on their relationship for good. At the time, the Baltimore native revealed she was expecting a child, and her beau was quick to accordingly deny his paternity. However, they’ve since been working very closely together. As far as fans can tell, their romantic union is still going strong.

The couple has previously never been shy about sharing their drama with the internet. This is what ultimately led them to start their Crazy In Love reality show. The Zeus Network’s original project aired its entire first season over the past few weeks. Now, they’re keeping the masses entertained with bonus episodes that see more dramatic fights, among other things.

This weekend, previews began circulating that show plenty of chaos unfolding between Rock and Blueface. In one clip, the Baddies cast member assures the rapper that she’s “not gay,” and has no interest in kissing other women while he watches. Despite his incessant pleas, his girlfriend remains against the idea of sharing another girl with him in the bedroom.

On Sunday (February 5), @theneighborhoodtalk uploaded yet another sneak peek at the new episode. In this one, Chrisean sits drunkenly in the car with a few men and proceeds to ask the “Thotiana” hitmaker if he’s interested in sleeping with other people. “So I’m drunk to you? I’m a drunk bitch to you?” she presses him.

After aggressively hitting his bottle of Hennessy with her own, she yells, “Hello?! I’m trying to talk to you! What you want, some new p*ssy? It’s just gon’ make you miss my p*ssy. F*ck ’em, they ain’t better than mine.” In the background, the other men sitting in the vehicle begin to laugh at the ongoing ramblings.

The reality TV antics have been nothing short of entertaining, but as of late, Rock’s day-to-day also has her followers interested. Even with her recent pregnancy announcement, the 22-year-old has still been out on the town, turning up at events like Yung Miami’s star-studded birthday party this past weekend.

For that, she wore a matching two-piece set, putting her barely-there baby bump on display for the world to see. Check out more photos of Chrisean at the function here. Afterward, let us know if you plan to tune into Zeus’ Crazy In Love bonus episode in the comments below.

Ben Simmons & Eiza González Seen On NYC Date After Maya Jama Engagement Ring Beef

by

Like many NBA players, Ben Simmons isn’t just known for his work on the court – his love life also keeps him in the news near-constantly. As you may recall, the 26-year-old was previously engaged to English TV host Maya Jama after a whirlwind romance. Things between them, unfortunately, didn’t end as expected. Recently, the athlete took legal action to have the ring he proposed to his ex with returned.

Upon receiving the demand letter, the brunette beauty’s team says she was shocked, but happy to comply with the request. It remains unclear if she’s been seeing anyone else in between her hosting duties on Love Island. However, we do know that Simmons seems to have moved on. According to Page Six, he was out in New York City with a certain actress earlier this weekend.

The Brooklyn Nets player and 33-year-old Eiza González were photographed in the Big Apple on Friday (February 3). Apparently, they’ve been seeing one another on the low for months. “They’ve been hiding and trying not to get seen [together],” an insider tells the outlet.

During their date night, the rumoured couple were photographed leaving Manhattan’s Bondst restaurant. It’s a high-end sushi place, and the pair are said to have dined alongside “a group of friends.” A source notes that “They weren’t alone [for the dinner], but they are very clearly together.”

The images taken don’t show any PDA between the two, but they allegedly went back to Simmons’ place together afterward. It remains unclear if she spent the night, or how serious the couple considers their union to be at this time. The baller clearly has a type, as he’s been involved with plenty of dark-haired beauties in the past.

He previously dated Kendall Jenner for two years, from 2017 to 2019. Their romance was inconsistent in nature, and the model eventually moved on with Devin Booker, who she’s also no longer with. Yet another starlet who once was seeing Simmons is 333 singer, Tinashe.

She may currently be spending time getting to know Simmons, but last spring, González was in a relationship with Aquaman actor Jason Momoa. The two got together following his separation from Lisa Bonet, and though it didn’t last, it certainly had everyone talking about them. Read all about the short-lived romance here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Dreka Gates Teases PDA-Filled “Breakfast” Music Video With Kevin Gates

by

Beginning February with a bang, Kevin Gates surprised his fans on the first of this month by sharing his 2013 project, THE LUCA BRASI STORY on DSPs. The 22-track effort boasts popular titles like “IDGAF,” “IHOP,” and “Narco Trafficante” featuring Percy Keith. Additionally, friends like Master P, Curren$y, and Terrance Hines came through to assist the rap star.

Aside from that the last release we got from the father of two was last November’s FYP EP. However, on Sunday (February 5), his wife Dreka hinted that Kevin is cooking something up for listeners. On her Instagram page, the businesswoman posted a teaser for a new video single called “Breakfast,” and it looks seriously tasty, to say the least.

“Who…I mean… What do you like for #Breakfast?” Dreka asked followers in the caption. The visual begins with a landscape shot of snowy mountains and trees as the “Really Really” rapper’s name flashes across the screen. A white SUV eventually enters the frame, and after more scenic B-roll, we watch Kevin help his partner out of the passenger side.

She smiles ear to ear as he looks at her with adoration. Before you know it, the camera takes us into the kitchen, where the Gates family patriarch is shirtless and chefing up some food. After preparing a plate, he walks it over to Dreka, who sits patiently waiting on the couch in black lingerie.

The couple shares a sweet kiss, which cuts to footage of Kevin rapping the upcoming release out in the snow. No premiere date came along with the teaser video, but it’s been receiving plenty of love from friends and fans so far. “Love y’all together and ion even know y’all lol,” author Porsha Guobadia wrote.

“Yes girl he’s always gonna come back home,” and “The manager and wife. Y’all need to stay out of these folk’s business,” others wrote. “Listennnn, Dreka, if you with it! I’m with it,” someone else, still, teased the 36-year-old.

@drekagates/Instagram

While rumours of their separation rocked the internet early last summer, many curious fans began digging into the couple’s history. When Kevin’s career was first taking off, Dreka’s role included DJing his shows and handing out his CDs to strangers. She remained loyal through various ups and downs over the years, leaving many shocked when they seemingly split in 2022.

Though she loves her husband dearly, the mother of two made it known that her own identity as a woman is important to her too. Besides appearing in his videos from time to time, Gates also has various pursuits of her own on the go. Read more about her career path here, and check back later for more hip-hop news.

Chrisean Rock Tells Blueface She’s “Not Gay,” Doesn’t Want To Kiss Other Girls In Front Of Him

by

Since late last year, many reality TV lovers have been watching the drama between Blueface and Chrisean Rock play out on the small screen. The main episodes of the first season of Crazy In Love have come to an end. Thankfully, Zeus is keeping users entertained with a few bonus releases. In the most recent one, the embattled couple finds themselves feuding over the idea of bringing another girl into the bedroom.

On Saturday (February 4), @theneighborhoodtalk uploaded a preview from the series, teasing the drama that’s to come. In the clip, the 26-year-old asks his girlfriend if she’s “part of the LGBTQ community” as she tells him about her upcoming performance at Pride. “I am not gay baby,” she immediately responds while doing her makeup.

“You just like to make out with girls for fun?” Blueface asks Rock, who gives him a telling look. “Not no more,” she says in a quiet tone of voice. “I like making out with you.” After hearing this, the “Thotiana” rapper suggests that they find another woman to join them for an evening of kissing. “You could just make out with her, and that’s it,” he pleads.

The 22-year-old is undeniably unimpressed with her beau’s plan. “You’re making me uncomfortable,” she tells him. “This is why I be ready to fight you. Since when did I start wanting to share?!” As the California native plays it off, saying, “What do you mean? You like to kiss!” Chrisean makes it known that she’s not okay with getting intimate with another girl in the presence of “[her] n*gga.”

“I ain’t gonna kiss her,” Blueface pushes the idea further. “You kiss her!” The Baddies cast member begins getting emotional at this point, and her boyfriend responds with, “That’s crazy. You kiss all the bitches without me, but with me, you don’t want to kiss nobody.

We’ve obviously seen them engage in endless bickering on Crazy In Love. However, Blueface and Chrisean’s antics have been taking place in real-time too. Just a few days ago, the pair appeared on The Perfect Network podcast. During that interview, Rock was left annoyed when her beau spent too much time talking to co-host Moniece Slaughter.
