Jinger Duggar to Give Birth Very "Soon," Reliable Source Teases

Brace yourselves, reality TV fans and celebrity gossip followers:

Another member of the Duggar family will be joining us in the near future.

In fact, Jinger Duggar may very well be in labor right at this very moment.

While she isn’t due until early next month, this seems like a strong possibility because Jinger’s husband, Jeremy Vuolo, shared a new photo of him and his wife on Instagram.

In it, both halves of this semi-famous couple are smiling excitedly, while Jinger’s baby bump is perhaps more prominent than ever.

Especially telling, though? Jeremy’s accompanying caption to this sweet image.

“ETA: Soon,” he simply wrote.

ETA, for those unaware, stands for Estimated Time of Arrival, meaning the couple’s first child may be here any day now.

EEEK! How exciting, right?!?

For her part, Jinger has been keeping fans across the Internet well apprised of her status and her pregnancy journey in general.

She’s taken a fun and unusual approach to sharing baby bump pictures, doing so at various stages over the past nine months and comparing her fetus each time to different kinds of fruit and vegetables.

In terms of its size, that is.

In the image immediately above, for example, Jinger explained that the child was akin to a cantaloupe around the 34-week mark.

She also used bell peppers and pineapples in the past to depict this same fact to her many Instagram followers.

“Praying for an easy birth!,” wrote one Jinger follower in response to this new photo, while another chimed in as follows:

“You guys look so happy. You are both gonna make amazing parents.:

Jinger and Jeremy aren’t just getting set to welcome their first kid, meanwhile.

They also may be moving to Los Angeles and anchoring their very own reality show at some point down the line.

Why else would Jeremy have recently been accepted to study at a divinity school in this California city?

Jinger, you likely recall, became the first Duggar woman of her generation to permanently move away from Arkansas when she shifted to Texas two years ago.

We wouldn’t go so far as to call her a rebel, but she certainly has shown signs of being a tad bit rebelious.

Lastly, in case you’ve forgotten, Jinger and Jeremy will be greeting a daughter when the big day finally arrives. 

They made this major reveal in April, saying at the time:

“We are so happy to announce that we are having a little baby girl!”

“We could not be more excited and are eagerly anticipating meeting our little lady this summer.

“We especially love thinking forward and realizing that she will have excellent role models in both of her grandmothers, who cannot wait to shower her with love.”

Good luck, Jinger!

We wish you a pain-free labor… or at least as close to one as possible!

XXXTentacion "Wanted" to Die Young For Attention, Source Claims

On Monday, the music world was stunned by the news that the rapper known as XXXTentacion was shot dead at the age of 20.

The controversial artist, whose real name was Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy was leaving a motorcycle dealership when an unidentified assailant approached his car and shot him several times.

Onfroy was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at a nearby hospital.

His gunman remains at large.

News of Onfroy’s death received a mixed reaction on social media due to the abusive behavior that characterized his life.

Many young artists have courted self-destruction, but few have behaved as violently toward others as XXXTentacion.

Despite his youth, the allegations against Onfroy are too numerous to list here.

The most appalling include his sustained, methodical abuse of his pregnant girlfriend and his near-fatal strangulation of a gay, whom Onfroy appears to have attacked for no other reason than his sexual orientation.

Onfroy often rapped about suicide in his songs, but his death almost certainly came as a surprise.

But that doesn’t mean it was totally unexpected to those who knew him best.

“XXXTentacion immortalized Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. and wanted to die young just like them,” a source connected to the rapper tells Radar Online.

“He craved attention.”

The insider says that Onfroy’s primary ambition in life was to be talked about and remembered.

He was reportedly willing to do anything to achieve this goal including, possibly, dying young.

“He wanted to have people talking about him, his career and his potential just like Pac and BIG. He was that dude who didn’t give a f-ck about anything,” the source claims.

“He has no regrets in life. He was him and loved himself with all his flaws.”

The insider says that in addition to glamorizing suicide, Onfroy often instigated violent conflicts, seemingly with the intention of going out in a blaze of glory.

It may be quite some time before we have any new information about the identity of Onfroy’s murderer.

But those who knew the rapper best say they won’t be surprised if it was someone he knew well.

We’ll continue to keep an eye on the situation and update you as more information becomes available.

Scott Disick & Sofia Richie Are Planning to Marry and Her Dad Is PISSED, Source Claims

When the world first learned that Scott Disick and Sofia Richie are dating, it was widely assumed that the relationship would last about as long as one of Scott’s many rehab stints.

But one year later, in spite of frequent rumors that Scott and Sofia have broken up, the couple is still going strong.

And it’s all much to the chagrin of Sofia’s famous father, Lionel Richie.

Lionel might be easy like Sunday morning most of the time, but when it comes to Scott and Sofia’s relationship, the singer-songwriter is not exactly dancing on the ceiling.

In fact, it seems he’s taken steps to ensure that Scott will not be able to get his hands on the Richie family fortune by marrying Sofia.

Insiders say the actions are less about Lionel protecting his finances, and more about dissuading Scott from continuing a romantic relationship with Sofia under false pretenses.

“Lionel’s preparing a $ 200 million prenup,” a source tells In Touch Weekly.

“He hates Scott and has tried to tell Sofia to leave him, but she won’t.”

“Lionel is a multimillionaire and Sofia has a huge trust fund,” another insider adds.

“He doesn’t want Scott getting a cent of it!”

Yes, Scott might have a decent-sized nest egg from his years with Kourtney Kardashian — during which he starred on a lucrative reality show and never had to spend a dime of his own money — but he also enjoys an insanely lavish lifestyle.

Disick’s not sitting on “never work again” money, and while he earns what most of us what consider a very nice living from social media endorsements it’s far from sufficient to support the kind of lifestyle Scott is accustomed to.

Plus, Scott’s been in the business long enough to know that that well is bound to dry up as his relationship with Kourtney becomes a distant pop cultural memory, and he continues to spend less and less time on Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

So Lionel’s not wrong to be skeptical of Scott’s intentions.

And he also hasn’t shied away from expressing his thoughts on Scott and Sofia’s relationship.

“She’s 19. When you’re 19, you know everything. Is it going to be for life? I don’t know,” Richie said in February.

“But for right now, it’s just a phase and I’m going to stand real still in the corner, get me a good drink and not make too much noise.”

Hopefully, he doesn’t stand too far back.

And hopefully Scott doesn’t follow his lead and enjoy a drink or 15 of his own.

Tristan Thompson Likes Women with "Big Butts," Source Says

Tristan Thompson actually played basketball on Sunday night.

After scarcely seeing the floor during the opening three games of his teams playoff series against the Indiana Pacers, the disgraced power forward logged seven minutes in Game 4 in a narrow Cavaliers victory.

He grabbed one rebound and scored zero points.

But the point of this article is not to rundown Thompson’s struggles on the court.

It’s to relay the latest rumors about his side piece success in bed.

That is: How does Thompson go about grabbing booty and scoring with women when he cheats on Khloe Kardashian?

According to an Us Weekly insider, the professional athlete has an entire game plan when it comes to his infidelity.

“Tristan slides into girls’ DMs,” this tabloid source explains, expounding as follows:

“He messages girls that way, on Instagram, and then meets up with them.”

Does he just come across these women randomly while searching social media?

Does he meet them, learn their handle, track them down online and then make further contact?

It’s not clear at this time.

What is clear, however, is the type of females to whom Thompson is drawn.

This same source claims to know what Tristan is looking for when he’s looking to drive the ball to the hoops (and we don’t mean in order to help the Cavs win a game!).

“He likes exotic or non-American-looking girls with big butts,” Us Weekly writes.

Hmmm… do the alleged side pieces we’ve heard about so far fit this description?

Scroll away below and you tell us:

View Slideshow: Tristan Thompson’s HOT Alleged Mistresses Exposed!

About 10 days ago, of course, the Internet nearly exploded upon news of Thompson’s wandering and curious penis going viral.

Both TMZ and The Daily Mail shared surveillance footage from clubs and hotels that appeared to depict Thompson in the act of cheating.

In one video, Kardashian would have been three months pregnant at the time.

In another video, she would have been over eight months pregnant.

Heck, Khloe gave birth to the estranged couple’s daughter just a day after this scandal went public. How crazy and sad is that?!?

The little girl is named True Thompson and Khloe made no indication in her announcement that she has split from Thompson.

Not yet, at least.

“Our little girl, True Thompson, has completely stolen our hearts and we are overwhelmed with LOVE,” Khloe wrote a few days ago, along with a photo of her baby’s nursery.

She added:

“Such a blessing to welcome this angel into the family! Mommy and Daddy loooooove you True!”

Granted, Khloe may still cut ties with Tristan.

She allegedly SCREAMED at him right after welcoming her first kid into the world.

But what else is she supposed to do or say right now?

Of course she must put on a brave public face and of course her first couple of statements as a mother must make it sound like her baby has two loving and committed parents.

But we very much wonder what will happen going forward, especially as more and more news breaks about Thompson’s cheating.

For example:

Us Weekly cites another sources who talks about Tristan’s behavior during NBA All-Star Weekend in February.

He “didn’t look or act like someone who had a pregnant girlfriend,” this witness claims.

“The flirting and body language were definitely inappropriate for someone in a serious relationship expecting a baby.”

We’d say we’re surprised.

But come on: Would anything about Thompson’s behavior surprise you at this point?

Hang in there, Keeks.

Jennifer Aniston: Devasted & Humiliated By Justin Theroux Split, Source Says

As you’ve likely heard by now, Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux have called it quits after two and a half years of marriage.

As is always the case when an A-list couple splits, there have been countless theories as to why Jen and Justin decided to go their separate ways.

Some say Aniston wants to get back together with Brad Pitt.

Others claim Justin never wanted to marry Jen in the first place.

It may be quite some time before we know exactly what happened, but for now, accounts concur that Justin is the one who initiated the split, and geography played a major role in his decision.

Yes, geography.

It seems Justin just wasn’t willing to part ways with his beloved New York City, and Jen is too much of a West Coast girl to relocate.

So how does Aniston feel about basically being dumped for a city?

Not suprisingly, she’s less than thrilled about it.

“They’ve been separated for two months now,” an insider tells E! News, “but were having intense issues for about eight months.” 

“She really tried to make it work with him but the distance was a factor as he only wanted to live in N.Y.C. and there was no compromise with her.”

The source adds:

“Their lifestyles were completely incompatible, and ultimately Justin decided to leave.”

It seems that though she and Justin were broken up for several weeks before theuyannounced their split, Jen has been has been having an especially hard time since news of the split went public:

“Jen was doing OK for a few weeks after Justin left, and then things got stirred up again when the announcement was made to the media,” the insider claims.

“Adjusting to living by herself and not having Justin around,” the source adds.

“She is used to the empty house since it’s been months now without him, but it’s still an uneasy feeling for her. She knows in due time she will feel tremendously better, but is really going through the motions right now.”

Of course, this isn’t Jen’s first high-profile breakup, and those who know her best are confident she’ll pull through:

“Jen knows she is strong and knows things will smooth over in time,” the insider continues.

“She’s been through this before, so she is trying to lay low for now and knows it’s best if she doesn’t go out in public for awhile.”

And just as she did when her first marriage ended, Jen has been drawing strength from the support of her Friends friends:

“Courteney [Cox]’s been at her house many times, and has been by her side through it all,” says the source.

“Many of her friends have known about this for months and knew it was coming. A lot of people didn’t think that Jen and Justin were a good match from the start, but ultimately supported her decision.”

Guess they really will be there for her when the rain starts to fall.

As for those rumors about Jen rekindling her romance with her first husband, the source says that while Aniston has reached out to Pitt in the months since her split, the actors have no intention of being anything other than friends.

“Jen never talks about Brad,” the insider claims.

“Rekindling is not even a conversation. She has always thought that chapter is sealed and so far in the past.”

Like that’s gonna stop us from holding out hope!

Duggar Women: "Trapped" In a Dangerous Cult, Source Claims

When the Duggars first made their debut on TLC in 2008, the selling point that was used to attract an audience was the massive size of the family.

But viewers quickly became fascinated by Michelle, Jim Bob and kids for reasons that had nothing to do with fertility.

Reality stardom put the Duggars’ extremely conservative religious views on display, and their belief system and practices drew a mixed reaction from their rapidly-growing fan base.

Some applauded the family’s “old-fashioned” values, while others decried what they viewed as a cult-like setting.

The Duggars are adherents of Reverend Bill Gothard’s Institute for Basic Life Principles, and the debate only intensified when Gothard resigned in disgrace after being accused of sexual assault and harrassment by dozens of young men and women.

Gothard has thus far avoided criminal prosecution, but the scandal has only grown with revelations that he’s not the only member of his church who used his power to coerce the congregation’s most vulnerable members into performing sex acts.

In May of 2015, the Josh Duggar sex scandals became public knowledge after nearly a decade of coordinated cover-up by his parents.

 

The fact that Michelle and Jim Bob knew their son was molesting his sisters but failed to act led many to wonder about the extent to which this sort of behavior was sanctioned by the IBLP.

Now, a powerful new voice has entered the debate–one with firsthand knowledge of the predatory tactics employed by IBLP leaders.

Rebecca Ishum is a blogger and former IBLP adherent who says she was brainwashed during an intensive “triaining” session at the IBLP’s secretive headquarters.

She opened up about her experiences in a recent interview with In Touch Weekly:

“I still grieve for all of the kids…mainly the girls….who are trapped or have spent their lives trying to rewire their brains once they make it out. Most of the girls who are still in that cult don’t even realize how trapped they are,” Ishum tells the magazine.

“I was conditioned to believe anything that anyone in authority told me without question.”

The Duggars often claim that their extremist views on abstinence and “modest attire” are meant to enforce in young women an appreciation for their bodies as gifts from God, but Rebecca says she was taught that she had no autonomy over her physical self:

“I remember learning things like…if I was ever raped, then it would be my fault,” she says.

Duggar women are taught from a young age that procreation is their primary reason for being, and Rebecca says that she was indoctrinated to trust in the philosophical underpinnings of that belief during IBLP training:

“Higher education was frowned on because we were created to raise up a Quiverfull of children to be the salt of the earth. Our main objective was to be the helpmeet (translation: servant) of our husbands and have children,” she reveals.

“People who are still trapped in the IBLP cult are missing out on a whole lot of freedom and life. That type of thinking is a prison. Sadly, most of them don’t know it.”

Rebecca says that while the men responsible for the intellectual imprisonment of the Duggar girls deserve our condemnation, the public should be careful not to blame the victims:

“[If I could talk to the Duggars,] I would start by just listening,” Rebecca says.

“I would just sit down and listen to them talk until I could start to get an idea of who they are at their core. And then I would tell them to dream bigger than the box they’ve been given because they can remain a Jesus-follower, but do so in a way that enables their freedom.”

Ishum concludes:

“These girls need help seeing their worth and value for who they are, not what they do.”

Joy-Anna Duggar Due Date Is Being "Kept Private" By Family, Source Confirms

Back in August, Joy-Anna Duggar announced that she’s pregnant and ever since, fans have been regarding her claims about her conception date with serious skepticism.

According to Joy, she got pregnant just days after marrying Austin Forsyth.

When she made her announcement, the 20-year-old newlywed stated that she was roughly three months along. 

Fans cried foul and began speculating that Joy had gotten pregnant out of wedlock and was misleading the public in hopes of concealing that fact.

To the theorists’ credit, there’s an awful lot of evidence to support that claim.

Before their wedding, Joy-Anna and Austin admitted to breaking her family’s “courtship rules,” but did not go into detail with regard to the extent of their violation.

(Joy’s family is so strict that they may have broken the rules simply by holding hands for too long.)

So from the start, fans suspected Joy and Austin of defying her parents by engaging in premarital sex.

The fact that Joy sported a sizable baby bump in her announcement photo only added fuel to the fire.

In the months since, speculation has only grown, with several tabloid outlets speaking with doctors who examined photos and confirmed that Joy is further along than she claims.

Now, we’re being presented with perhaps the most compelling evidence to date that the Duggars have something to hide, thanks to  a family insider who’s confirmed to Radar Online that Joy’s due date is being kept under wraps.

“They don’t really want the due date shared,” the insider says. 

“They prefer to keep it private.”

Joy’s mother and several of her sisters and sisters-in-law have gotten pregnant in the public eye, and this is the first time that any of them has made any effort to keep their due date a secret.

Earlier this week, we learned that Joy will not reveal the gender of her baby, and many fans believe the reason is that Duggar gender reveals are typically accompanied by dated sonogram photos.

Obviously, if Joy is misleading fans about her date of conception, it would be difficult for her to post any such medical information without giving herself away.

It’s impossible to say with absolute certainty that the Duggars are being less than truthful with regard to when Joy’s pregnancy began.

But each new day seems to bring new evidence to that effect.

Amanda Bynes: "Struggling" Amidst Mental Illness Relapse, Source Claims

For Amanda Bynes, the road to recovery has been a long and difficult one with many potholes and detours along the way.

Bynes’ struggle with mental illness played out in the public eye, and when she began to show signs of recovery earlier this year, fans rejoiced at the thought of having “the old Amanda” back.

Now, it seems their celebrations may have been premature.

Sources close to Bynes tell In Touch Weekly that the actress has suffered a “major relapse” and that she’s “struggling to regain control of her life. “

The news comes on the heels of a promising upswing, during which Bynes seemed to be getting the help she needed to repair her career and public image.

The positive changes in her Bynes’ behavior began earlier this year.

In April, Bynes returned to Twitter following an extended absence from the social media site.

Shortly thereafter, she gave her first interview in four years, during which she stated that she’s “doing great,” keeping busy, and looking forward to returning to acting.

“I’ve been going to school lately, fashion school, FIDM [the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising], and I love it. I’ve learned how to sew, I make patterns, and I want to start a clothing line in the future,” Bynes said.

“Other than that,” she continued, “I hike, I go spinning, take spinning classes, and I feed the homeless, and that’s been really interesting and fun.”

Sources verified that Bynes was once again pursuing an education after taking an extended hiatus:

“She began taking classes in the fall, even though she was kicked out before for showing up high as a kite,” said one fellow student.

“She seemed upbeat and talked about returning to TV.”

Unfortunately, the return to television never took place, and insiders say it’s Bynes’ inability to find work that touched off her latest meltdown.

The 31-year-old’s comeback came around the fifth anniversary of DUI arrest that seemed to trigger an extended downward spiral for Bynes.

In the months that followed, her drug use increased, and her behavior became more erratic, a pattern that culminated in Bynes being placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold and hospitalized for several months.

Here’s hoping Amanda can somehow regain that momentum and get back on the road to recovery.

Lamar Odom is "Out of Control," Source Sadly Alleges

According to a new report, Lamar Odom did not collapse at a nightclub last week simply because he was very tired from working out.

Shocking, we know.

This is what a spokesperson for the former reality and NBA star actually alleged, however, after Odom fell to the floor early Sunday morning at Bootsy Bellows in Los Angeles.

Due to Odom’s history of drug and alcohol abuse, it was questionable why he was even in the establishment.

But Lamar’s rep downplayed the incident shortly afterward, saying Odom is doing “well” and adding by way of explanation:

“He was dehydrated and had been in an intense workout earlier in the day. It was also very hot in the club.”

No one really believed this at the time.

Most celebrity gossip followers figured Odom had, unfortunately, fallen off the wagon once again.

And now a People Magazine report appears to back up this assumption.

“Lamar is spiraling again. He’s out of control,” an insider tells this publication of Odom, adding in further disturbing detail:

“He was better this spring, but things got worse over the summer and everyone is worried things are going to get even worse and they’re scared for him.”

We can’t verify these claims outside of relaying them to our readers, but it wouldn’t come as a shock that this would be a challenging time for Odom.

Ex-wife Khloe Kardashian is pregnant with her first child; she’s expecting a baby in early spring.

Moreover, she’s expecting this baby with Tristan Thompson, who is also a professional basketball player and who also mostly plays power forward.

This is the same position Odom played throughout his career.

So it really is if Khloe has directly replaced her ex-husband with a new and less hurtful version.

Lamar has admitted to cheating on Khloe during their marriage.

He’s also confessed that he was addicted to drugs at various points in their relationship.

The couple split in 2013 after a few turbulent months, although the divorce was not finalized until many years later.

Then, in October of 2015, the troubled star was rushed to the hospital after being found unconscious in a Nevada brothel.

He was only given a 50 percent chance of survival at the time, spending four days in a coma, with Khloe by his side nearly the entire time.

Upon his recovery, Odom completed a 30-day drug rehab program.

Friends and loved ones hoped it would signal a reversal of fortunes for Odom, a turning point in a life full of tragedy (see below).

We still hope that’s the case.

Sadly, though, it seems very unlikely to have been.

Prince Harry Fell For Meghan Markle After Seeing Her on Suits, Source Claims

For most of the past year, the royal-watching world has been eagerly anticipating the news that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are engaged.

Some believe Harry has already proposed, and the couple is waiting for the perfect time to make the announcement.

Others are convinced that Harry is still waiting for the perfect time, and that that time somehow didn’t arise during the freakin’ safari he and Meghan went on to celebrate her birthday.

Whatever the case, it seems clear that a Harry-Meghan wedding is a foregone conclusion.

In fact, sources say Harry has had his heart set on marrying Meghan for years.

And how is that possible when the two of them met in the summer of 2016?

Why, through the magic of basic cable, of course!

Yes, like the denizens of the common room in your grandmother’s nursing home, Harry is a big fan of Suits.

For those of you who only know Meg as Harry’s fiancee and not for her “Oh, That Show’s Still On?” Award-nominated performance as Rachel Zane, Markle has starred on Suits ever since the show debuted, sometime during the Carter administration.

Many women have no doubt fantasized that they were being secretly observed by an increasingly enamored Prince Harry while they’re at work, but that’s a dream that’s much more likely to come true if you’re a television actress and not a hostess at Outback.

“He had a crush on Rachel Zane two years before he met Meghan and the reason I know is because I was having drinks with one of his friends,” says royal commentator Katie Nicholl in an upcoming British television documentary about Meghan.

“She [Harry’s friend] told me she’d been on a night out with Prince Harry. He was single at the time, so she said, “Harry, who’s your ideal girl?” And he said ‘Meghan Markle from Suits.‘”

There’s no way that’s an accurate quote, right?

It had to be more like, “Have you ever seen that show Suits on whatever the British equivalent of the USA Network is? Well, there’s this actress on it …”

You can’t just blurt out the name of an obscure actress on an obscure series without your friends making fun of you.

“Yeah, I hear you, Harry. I totally have a thing for Valerie St. James from First Responders. Oh, you never heard of Valerie St. James or First Responders? That’s because I made ‘em both up!”

Ha! Burn notice, Prince Harry! You might be experiencing some royal pains!

And  with that, we’ve officially exhausted our supply of USA Network original series references.

Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton: "Focused on Getting Pregnant," Source Claims

Pretty much from the moment we first learned Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are dating, the couple has been the subject of just about every kind of rumor imaginable.

At this point, we can’t even count the number of false reports about Stefani and Shelton getting married.

And of course, there have been plenty of Gwen and Blake breakup rumors, as well.

But the question that fans seem most obsessed with is that of whether or not Blake and Gwen will ever expand their family.

Yes, it seems that not a week goes by without one tabloid or another reporting that Stefani is pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or looking into adoption.

This week, it’s Us Weekly‘s turn, and the magazine is going all-in with “quotes” from a “source” who says getting pregnant is Gwen’s top priority these days.

In fact, the tipster claims that baby making is number one on the singers’ agenda, even taking precedence over getting married.

“[Gwen and Blake] will get married one day,” a Shelton insider tells the Us, “but right now they are hyper-focused on getting pregnant.”

So what’s the hold-up?

For starters, Gwen is 48 years old.

Sure, we live in the age of Janet Jackson popping out babies at 50, but that doesn’t mean getting pregnant in middle-age is commonplace or uncomplicated.

“Starting a family has not been easy for them,” says the insider.

“It’s something that they really want and it’s just not working out the way they wanted it to.”

So why not just adopt?

Well, it seems Blake really has his heart set on having biological children of his own.

“Blake told Gwen he does want kids of his own,” says a Shelton source, “and Gwen was willing to try.

“With her, Blake has the exact relationship and family life he’d hoped to have with Miranda. Gwen’s everything he wants,” says the insider.

He has everything he wants, but … he just wants a little bit more?

We’re starting to think that either Blake’s confused, or this insider is.

Anyway, while the struggle to conceive brings many challenges with it, Gwen and Blake apparently believe the whole experience is only making them stronger.

“They struggle they’re facing is making them stronger,” says the Shelton insider.

“They are so committed to one another and protective of one another.”

Hey, whatever works.

Best of luck to these two!
