JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers: Engaged!

After 10 weeks, 25 men and even more controversies than that, The Bachelorette spoilers were proven 100 percent correct last night:



The burning question of who JoJo Fletcher picked was finally answered on season finale, and her final rose went to her season-long MVP.


She and Jordan Rodgers are engaged and going public with their love, following a tumultuous season – and finale – of the ABC franchise.


“I Know I Can Trust Him,” exclaim’s People’s cover story today, a stark contrast from previous magazine covers of JoJo and/or JoRo.


Needless to say, coverage of their courtship hasn’t been entirely positive – although they’ve been forced to stay silent and hidden until now.


Will things turn around in the court of public opinion now that the veil of silence has been lifted and their love is allowed to flourish openly?


Or will they crumble quickly like so many other Bachelor couples before them, embroiled by overwhelming tension, bitterness and pressure?


Time will tell, but the show’s track record is, well, beyond bad.



Just saying. We wish them the best, but it’s a long road ahead. To their credit, they appear to have not missed a beat since the premiere.


From night one, the sparks between them were undeniable.


So, too, was the suspicion that seemed to follow Rodgers.


Yet all the talk of his feud with Aaron Rodgers, his NFL star brother, and rumors about his past girlfriends and motives for going on the show?


“I had this immediate sense of comfort with him,” JoJo says.


“From that first initial interaction, I knew I could fall in love.”


Even as Fletcher’s feelings for her other suitors grew, and animosity toward him grew among some co-stars (and fans), she never wavered.


The 25-year-old real estate developer says that no matter how great Robby Hayes was, she had no doubt Rodgers is the one for her.



“On those final days, I thought about who I couldn’t imagine saying goodbye to,” she says. “It was always Jordan. And that’s how I knew.”


And when it came to proposing, despite how things were depicted on The Bachelorette finale, he didn’t hesitate in calling the right play.


“I was so ready,” says the former NFL player.


People can say what they want to say and believe what they want to believe about him, but for Jordan, “JoJo is the one. I know that.”


“No matter what, we’ll get through anything.”



They certainly looked the part last night.


In their first public appearance as a couple, on The Bachelorette: After the Final Rose special, they could not have painted a rosier picture.


“We woke up the day after the proposal and we were just so incredibly happy,” says Rodgers. “It was the best decision we ever made.”


Says Fletcher: “We went through this entire crazy journey that somehow led us to each other. We’re so ready to start our life together!”


What kind of life will that be, and for how long? Is there a lot more dirt on Jordan that has yet to come out, or is the worst behind them?


You tell us in the comments below, readers:


Think these two will actually last?

Amina Buddafly Baby Watch: When Will It Arrive?!?

As previously reported, Amina Buddafly is pregnant with Peter Gunz’s 10th baby.


That is not a misprint.



Moreover, Amina Buddafly is about to give birth to Peter Gunz’s 10th baby… any minute now, probably!


The Love & Hip Hop: New York star shared a photo of her very large baby bump on Monday via Instagram, including with it a sweaty, weary and sleepy emoji.


Buddafly says she is officiallyl past her due date and expected to become a mother once again in the extremely near future.


“Past due…” Amina wrote simply as a caption to the following image:



Whenever the child arrives, this will be the second kid for the artist and estranged husband Peter Gunz; they welcomed daughter Cori Pankey in 2014.


Amina announced in April that the estranged is expecting another girl and that she will be named Bronx.


But theirs is not exactly an epic love story.


See, Peter’s ex-girlfriend, Tara Wallace, just gave birth to his son, Gunner Ethan, in February. 


You can go ahead and do the math, but it’s pretty clear that Peter had been having sex with both Wallace and Buddafly last year.


Those who watch Love & Hip Hop online are well aware that Gunz refers to his friends as the “Creep Squad” because they take pride in never treating their women with any respect.


They also take pride in their infidelity.


But Buddafly isn’t bothered by Peter’s womanizing ways, which is obviously part of the problem.


“There is one reason and one reason only why I got pregnant again,” she wrote as a pointed message to critics this spring.


“Actually there is no “I” in this, its “WE”! But since i am the one carrying: “I Got pregnant again because I made love to the man I love.”


That is how the whole science of pregnancy works, she’s right.


But Amina wasn’t finished.


“Now y’all can debate on why we did it until ya hair turns grey,” she added.


“I feel good knowing that WE know and you just ‘think’ you know… A baby does not keep a man and being spiteful does not make you a winner! This is not a game. This is my life…


“But No matter what the circumstances were and are, I now feel happy to be expecting again and even happier to know I have the best baby daddy I could ask for.


“@petergunz174 I love you 4ever and I will never be scared to show or say it because of people.”



Gunz, meanwhile, has claimed that he will soon get a vasectomy.


While millions around the world cheered this news, Buddafly chose to celebrate it in a different way.


She has made it clear that she intends to deliver the reality star’s final kid, which may also explain why she happily got herself knocked up again by Gunz.


And, look, whatever. Buddafly and Gunz can go back and forth as may times as they want. We really don’t care about them.


But there’s a child coming in to the world here.


We just pray she receives the love and attention she deserves.


She’s a person, after all, not some kind of prop.


The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 11 Episode 6 Recap: Frenemy of the State

Were the women able to move on from Shannon’s failed party on The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 11 Episode 6 Monday?


Let’s just say some things are easier said than done.



If you watch The Real Housewives of Orange County online, you know the lovely ladies have a hard time moving on from most anything.


Well, The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 11 Episode 6 proved more the rule than the exception, to the surprise of nobody.


Nobody.


Obviously, every episode begins with a rehashing of what went on the previous week, both to kill time and because they just love gossip.


In this case it was actually probably worth it, given the drunken party fight on the prior episode, so no one can accuse the show of filler.


Kelly Dodd and Shannon Beador met up to break down the incident and see if they could let it go after everything they had been through.


Verdict?


“You just have to be the bigger person and just let it go,” Kelly was told by her mother Bobbi, who added simply, “Try to be nice.”


“People respond more to niceness than they do to people who are negative and mean. Maybe you just need to give Shannon a chance.”


“Maybe you just have to get to know her,” she urged her reeling daughter. “You have to forgive in order to forget, so, there you go.”


There you go.


Kelly eventually took her mother’s advice to be cordial and move on, but not before a back and forth over whether or not she was set up.


(She totes was.)


Anyway, Meghan King Edmonds continued to go through IVF and husband Jimmy continued to be annoyed that he even had to talk about it.


Seriously, the guy cannot be less interested in what she’s having done to her body in order to have his baby. It’s a little bizarre, no?


She went to Washington, D.C. with Heather Dubrow and spoke about cancer, while Tamra Judge practiced for her upcoming competition.


Vicki Gunvalson had a mild panic attack by Vicki standards after her grandson locked himself in the car, but besides that, she was great.


Really.


The O.G. of the O.C. even reflected on her breakup with Brooks Ayers by saying that it’s been a blessing – not in disguise, just a blessing.


“The best part about Brooks and I ending our relationship is I have my daughter back 100 percent,” Vicki said in a Bravo camera confessional.


“If I had stayed with Brooks, Briana would have never move back to the OC. Now that he’s gone, I’ve got my family back. Thank god!”


#blessed.
