Joy-Anna Duggar Shares Honeymoon Pic; Where is She?!?

In one sense, it’s easy to discern where Joy-Anna Duggar is these days:


Riding Austin Forsyth raw, trying to get pregnant.


So we presume, at least.



In another sense, however, it’s challenging to determine just where Duggar and her new husband are at the moment, considering they never revealed their honeymoon destination.


The reality TV stars got married on May 26, with Duggar telling People Magazine that walking down the aisle was a “surreal” experience.


She then said she was psyched to go away with Forsyth for awhile, yet remained surprisingly mum on just where they were headed.


Now, though, Joy-Anna and Austin have given fans a look at their aforementioned honeymoon, stirring up speculation over their surroundings.


“Thank you to all for your prayers and encouragement! We are loving married life and having the opportunity to see these beautiful places together!” Joy-Anna said in the video from which we took the above photo.


Forsyth then shared the following image on Instagram, simply labeling it “honeymoon” as a caption.



Hmmmm…. right?


The couple appears to be somewhere beautiful and maybe a little chilly.


They’re pretty clearly taking an active vacation, hiking and enjoying the outdoors.


Joy-Anna and Auston got married just a few months after announcing their courtship on a special episode of TLC’s Counting On this past November.


The pair were friends for nearly 15 years before hooking up (by which we mean barely even holding hands) and then they almost immediately went ahead and got engaged this spring.


“I think the best advice that I’ve gotten so far is just to sacrifice myself,” said Austin in a TLC video filmed shortly before he exchanged vows.


He further explained in this footage: “Be willing to give myself for her and her needs and put her first.”


Happy wife, happy life, right? We feel ya, Austin!



With this young couple now Husband and Wife, the obvious question on the minds of every fan is when Joy-Anna will get pregnant.


It rarely takes very long after a marriage for this fate to befall a Duggar family member.


And Joy-Anna is doing little to dissuade chatter that a bun may very well end up in her oven.


“We love kids and we’re excited to have a family,” Duggar told People last week. “We’re just going to see what the Lord does.”


How many children does Joy-Anna think she and Austin may welcome over the years? It isn’t their call, she explains.


“We want as many as the Lord thinks we can handle and we are putting it into his hands.”



In another TLC-sponsored video, Duggar says married life has so far “been a blast” and that she’s “loving” her new status as Austin’s better half.


She and Austin are the only members of their famous family to start a joint Instagram account (@austinandjoyforsyth), meaning we’ll likely be kept well apprised of their marital adventures going forward.


But this will be the case on the small screen as well as on the computer screen:


A new season of Counting On, featuring Joy-Anna and Austin’s wedding on the premiere, returns June 12 on TLC.

Teen Mom OG Recap: Love and Marriage Counseling

Last night’s Teen Mom OG Season 4 Episode 10 saw Maci Bookout struggling with issues with a man in her life, but not who you think:


Taylor McKinney. Her husband.



If you watch Teen Mom OG online, you know that Maci’s ex, Ryan Edwards, has been the subject of a great deal of scrutiny for months.


Well, it turns out not everything is great at home for Maci either. She and Taylor are understandably struggling with having three kids.


Keeping their marriage healthy with that kind of busy lifestyle is no easy fast, and Maci revealed her drunken fights with Taylor off camera.


She decided to propose they go to marriage counseling with her husband to “fix it before it gets too bad to fix,” and he agreed to this.


“I want to be able to help him understand what I’m feeling without saying it in such an a–hole way,” Maci said at their very first session.


If we learned anything from this, it’s that both of them seem committed to each other and to having a healthier relationship in the future.



On last week’s Teen Mom OG, Maci and Amber (along with Catelynn, but not Farrah) spent time in Puerto Rico on a little girls’ getaway.


Amber really missed Leah, understandably, and was excited to see her daughter this week. Boy did she make up for lost time!


Portwood said they were going to spend the weekend staying up all night and having fun, putting on her makeup like a “baby hooker.”


That’s her quote, and it’s super weird.


Shifting gears before we dwell any longer on that, Amber’s ex Gary Shirley made Amber drop Leah off early to reveal his new house.


According to Amber, this was more of an attack on her than a surprise for Leah, and she made her fiance, Matt Baier, drop Leah off.



Portwood just couldn’t even pretend to be excited for Gary, saying “he’ll do things to spite me sometimes … I could not drop her off.” 


Co-parenting is never easy, is it?


Meanwhile, in the great state of Michigan, Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra revealed that have not seen Carly in two years.


Carly, of course, is their first child, who they placed for adoption, and their lock of communication with her adopted parents is difficult.


“I’ll keep asking, though,” Tyler said of trying to reach out and ask to speak to Carly, who lives in another state with her family.


Finally, Farrah Abraham confessed that her most recent ex, Simon Saran, struggled with accepting her late boyfriend Derek Underwood.



Derek, of course, is deceased.


He died while Farrah was pregnant with their daughter, yet he still has a big role in her life, because Farrah keeps his memory alive.


Some have accused Farrah of doing this for the cameras, but there’s no question it’s made an impact on Sophia, and a special one.


Still, to hear Abraham tell it, Simon wasn’t ready to accept this, and Farrah didn’t seem too crushed, instead embracing the single life.


Sophia, she said, “likes to be involved” in the dating scene for her mom, and we’re not even kidding. She apparently screens all applicants.


According to Soph, she didn’t like one guy Farrah found on a dating app because, in the child’s words, he was “not like daddy Derek.”

Mehgan James: I Want Prince Harry, Not Rob Kardashian!

Mehgan James has a few bones to pick over talk that she’s been boning Rob Kardashian.


Last week, the Internet was aflutter with reports that this reality star had been dating the aforementioned sock designer for about three months.



At the time, In Touch Weekly started a rumor that was picked up by other outlets and which stated the ex-Bad Girls Club actress had been growing closer to Kardashian since this spring.


James had “been supporting Rob and his business for some time now,” according to People Magazine, while insiders claimed the Kardashians were “very upset” about the relatively new romance.


They feared that James was yet another anger-filled D-Lister using their brother to increase her celebrity profile.


Now James is the one who’s upset, however.


After Rob Tweeted (below) that he had never even met James, a new report came out that explained how this chatter got started in the first place.


Supposedly, James herself leaked the fake story in order to bump up her Instagram follower count and basically become more famous.




mix responses


Over the weekend, TMZ claims it uncovered proof that James made sure the gossip item spread because she thought it would help her career.


(And it partially worked; she nearly doubled her number of Instagram followers in a matter of days.)


But Mehgan is here to scoff at this accusation.


She has shared (and has since deleted) a social media entry that lists the many reasons why she’d never make up a Rob Kardashian dating rumor.


“1) I did not fake anything . Like I said I never confirmed that I was dating rob,” James wrote on Instagram last night, adding:


“Any one that asked I told them it was not true. It takes two people to fake a relationship , any one who fakes a relationship by themselves is a complete idiot !!”



That’s a valid point if the person is looking for long-term fame and fortune.


But it’s not hard to see how just a couple of days in the spotlight can elevate one’s Internet presence; heck, we’re writing about James right now and we had never heard of her just one week ago!


“I’ve been working in entertainment since I was 18 I’ve done a multitude of Tv shows as well as a couple films,” James went on to say, emphasizing that she doesn’t need to spread fake news in order to be successful.


Citing her “half a million Instagram followers” in just over two years on the site, James also passed along her resume for anyone who believed she was behind the Rob romance stories.


“OH wait , I have a college degree and AM a vendor for one of the MOST POPULAR clothing companies online right now. So for FAME? Y’all are REACHING!”



Even if she wanted to churn this rumor mill, James alleges she doesn’t even possess that ability.


“Like I said in a previous post, im just ‘Mehgan something’ that most of you never even heard of!!!


“So how would I have the power to MAKE UP A BS STOTY [sic] and get media outlets to RUN IT?? How sway?”


In closing, James did make us laugh by saying Rob isn’t even her type. Not really.


IF she did want to get famous off some guy… IF she did want to plant quotes and create a stir in the press, this troubled E! star would not be the object of her pretend desires.



“If I ever wanted to fake a relationship with a rich white guy it would be PRINCE HARRY!!!!!!!!! Not rob Kardashian!!!” Mehgan concluded.


Okay, she got us there.


That’s a pretty good way to wrap up this denial.

The Bachelorette Recap: You Play in Dirt, You Get Dirty

This week, The Bachelorette got especially filthy as the men competed in a foul challenge to win the rose from Rachel Lindsay.


Also, DeMario Jackson returned … and you don’t need The Bachelorette spoilers to tell you that it didn’t turn out well for him.



Watching DeMario Jackson getting busted last week by a girl who claims she was dating him up until days before he went on the show?


One of the all-time franchise highlights. But it wasn’t over yet, as Mr. Here For the Wrong Reasons returned after Rachel kicked him out.


Why? To seek closure? To clear his name? To go down swinging, possibly literally, with a group of dudes looking to “whoop his ass”?


DeMario tells Rachel that he made a huge mistake pretending that he didn’t recognize his girlfriend and has learned a lot since then.


This was, of course, like 30 minutes ago.


He tells Rachel about a poem about how you can’t feel pain without joy and he is ready for joy. Rachel politely kicks him out. Again.



“F–k no!” Lindsay says when asked by the angry mob if she’s giving DeMario another chance. Everybody cheers, and we move on.


At the cocktail party, tensions between Whaboom and Blake start to boil over as the rose ceremony and certain elimination approached.


Rachel gives the first rose to Bryan Abasolo, the First Impression Rose winner and a man that many feel is who will win The Bachelorette.


See below. You can see why he’s a frontrunner.


Bryce, Eric, Anthony, Jonathan, Kenny, Will, Diggy, Iggy, Matt, Chad, Alex and Lee get them too. Whaboom and Blake? Not so much.


Those clowns then acted like morons on the way out the door, which must be reassuring for Rachel to watch now, reaffirming her choice.


Finally, the dust settles, and it’s group date time for Bryan, Jonathan, Peter, Alex, Will, Fred .. at The Ellen DeGeneres Show in L.A.


Ellen’s gonna be Rachel’s wingman for a day.



There was a lot of awkwardness, but ultimately, Alex gets the Date Rose for grinding on a grandma at The Ellen Show. Well deserved.


Next up? Rachel invites Anthony to the rodeo … Rodeo Drive, that is, but on horseback, going for a show record for terrible wordplay.


Anthony stays cool when the horse drops a D inside a store, which Rachel appreciates, so she gives him the Date Rose in response.


Always pays to keep your composure, right?


As they dance under the stars at a private concert, the two officially complete a Bachelor rite of passage for the 200th straight season.


Rachel’s next group date featured some very familiar faces from last season in Raven Gates, Corinne Olympios, Jasmine, and Alexis.


Oh yes. Corinne was back in full effect!



The women’s goal in this outing?


To see if the suitors could avoid getting drunk and hitting on anyone besides Rachel … and to watch some men mud wrestling, obviously.


Bryce pulled off the victory, while in related news, Bryce is apparently still on the show, or came in off the street just to wrestle. Unclear.


Raven was getting some red flags about Eric, so Rachel gave the Group Date Rose to him, obviously. Then the men turned on him too.


Forced to confront him for stirring the pot, Eric then flips on the rest of the guys for ratting him out, and it’s uncomfortable to the extreme.


Next week on The Bachelorette?


Lee’s Garrett’s racist tweets are shockingly revealed. Okay, probably not, but we bet we haven’t heard the last of that scandal either.
