Maci Bookout: First Photo of Son Maverick Revealed!

So….here he is?



Grandparents are a hoot.  Most are just getting used to social media and using “The Facebook” or “The Twitter.”


Some, like Maci Bookout’s mom Sharon, find Instagram easy to use.  Better yet, Sharon probably finds it easier to upload photos of her grandkids to this particular platform.


Last week, Sharon shared a photo of herself holding Maverick at their oldest grandson, Bentley’s little league game.


The photo was discovered by The Ashley, and was then shared with Teen Mom fans.


“Hands and hearts are full! #grandbabies,” Sharon wrote as the little redhead slept on her shoulder.


Next to Sharon was Maci’s dad holding one-year-old Jayde, Maci and fiance Taylor McKinney’s daughter.


Months ago, Sharon posted an adorable photo of herself with Jayde and Bentley with the caption, “If I’d known how much fun it was to be a grandparent, I would’ve done it first (insert smiley face emoji).



Maverick’s first photo comes hot on the heels of previews for the new season of Teen Mom OG (premiering August 22nd).  The clip shows Taylor proposing to Maci on a Los Angeles beach, as well as Maci’s reveal that she’s expecting Maverick.


“I found out I was pregnant with baby number three right after we got engaged,” Maci told MTV at the time.


“Because it’s the third one, you know what’s going on. You’ve been there, done that a couple times now, so it’s sort of laid back.”


The couple made the announcement on Valentine’s Day this year that a “baby boy” was coming soon.  A month before that, cameras captured the engagement, and Maci confirmed it via social media


“Well y’all, my best friend asked me to marry him! I’m one lucky lady, I love you T!” she posted.


When Maverick made his entrance into the world at 7 lbs, 11 oz in late May, Maci shared the news with her followers.


“Mr. Maverick Reed has officially made his debut & completed our family,” Bookout tweeted. “So much love, so many blessings!”

Jeremy Vuolo: Proposal to Jinger Duggar Caught on Camera!

First we learned that Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo are courting.



Shortly thereafter, we learned that Jinger and Jeremy are engaged.


Now it looks as though, in true Duggar fashion, the entire romance will be shared with a few million of the family’s closest friends.


Yes, Jill & Jessa: Counting On Season 2 premieres on August 23, and it looks like the show will be heavily focused on the JinJer romance.


There’s no word yet on whether or not Jinger and Jeremy’s wedding will be televised (though it’s safe to assume that a TLC camera crew will be on hand when they walk down the aisle) but it definitely seems that another tender moment will be featured this season.



Yes, if you watch the clip above to the very end, it certainly looks like the moment that Jeremy proposes to Jinger was caught on camera.


Of course, we don’t actually see him pop the question, so it could be a clever editing trick.


For all we know, Jeremy was asking Jinger if she wanted to hit up Chipotle for dinner that night.


In a way, it’s a far riskier venture than marriage.


Anyway, regardless of whether or not the actual proposal will be televised, it looks like this season will be chock full of Jinge and Jer.


As for what the other kids will be doing, well … that remains to be seen, but so far it looks like they’ll be lending a hand with the wedding prep.


We like to imagine Jana sewing a gown with the help of some small animals, a la Cinderella.


Watch Jill & Jessa: Counting On online in order to get caught up in time for Season 2.


It’s the only way you’ll be able to keep up with all the twists and turns!


Just kidding, we pretty much already know everything that’s gonna happen, but it’s still sure to delight the Duggar faithful.


Jordan Rodgers-Aaron Rodgers Feud: All Because of What?!

For The Bachelorette victor Jordan Rodgers, the issue of his beef with NFL star brother Aaron continues to dominate headlines. 


Yes, he ended the season winning JoJo Fletcher"s heart, but he"s also won a great deal of scrutiny regarding his allegedly shady past.


The couple has shown signs of just how bad it"s gotten, even on what is supposed to be a blissful, post-show media tour this week.


Of Jordan"s family drama and estrangement from Aaron Rodgers, JoJo told E! News, "The tabloids have been really hard for me."


"That part was absolutely been the worst."



"When it first started, here were many nights I called him sobbing, I cried myself to sleep," Fletcher went on. "I was very affected."


"I always told myself to not let it get to me, don"t listen to the media, don"t listen to what people say behind a computer screen."


"But it"s very hard. When you"re not used to it, it"s tough. I just learned to trust in our relationship and to focus on that."


Jordan, who might prefer getting a colonoscopy to talking about Aaron if you gave him the option, says he feels worst for his fiancee.


"The woman that I want to spend the rest of my life with and love more than anything is being so affected by [this]," he explained.


"And I can"t publicly support her and I can be there for her as much as I can, but we want to show people how in love we are."


"We want to show people how happy we are."


So … what"s his deal with Aaron? E! tried to get an answer, but in typical fashion, he danced around it awkwardly and would not say.


"Family things are always tough, and they"re always tough to address, let alone on a TV show," the 27-year-old ex-football star said.



"But I knew I made a commitment to go on there and be honest with JoJo and make sure that she knew everything."


"We didn"t have any time off-camera and we were going to get to a proposal. So you have to trust she believes in the person you are."


Whatever the hell that means is anyone"s guess.


Neither brother has revealed the source of the strife, although their father, Ed Rodgers, hinted at it during Fletcher’s hometown visit.


“Fame can change you," he said solemnly.


So can a famous partner? A family insider claims Aaron"s girlfriend Olivia Munn, is at the crux of the family feud that has riveted a nation.


Munn, the source says, "has a strong personality and every meeting she has had with them has gone badly,” bringing us up to this point.


"The family says Aaron stopped talking to them,” notes the insider. “While Aaron says they don’t talk because his family doesn’t like Olivia.”



A Munn source counters to Us Weekly that the Green Bay Packers QB “makes his own decisions and wouldn’t be swayed by Olivia.”  


Olivia Munn being involved in the beef does lend credence to reports that Jordan"s falling out with ex Brittany Farrar is a major factor.


Farrar is good friends with Munn, and openly put Jordan on blast, calling him out as dishonest during The Bachelorette season premiere.


In any case, the drama has left Jordan and JoJo stressed and wishing it would all go away, and that people like Chris Harrison would zip it.


"Hopefully," The Bachelorette host told the uncomfortable couple during their first post-finale interview on the After the Final Rose special:


"Aaron can make it to the wedding!"


Don"t hold your breath.
