Jeremy & Audrey Roloff Introduce Ember Jean, Talk Parenting

Little People, Big World"s Jeremy and Audrey Roloff show off their daughter Ember Jean and talk parenting in a brand new TLC video.


A brand new, adorable TLC video.



The clip shows Jeremy and Audrey introducing baby Ember and also discussing their first days parents, which were obviously eventful.


Jeremy, 27, and Audrey, 26, explain how they picked out the name for their first child, which is both unique and special to them specifically.


According to Audrey, she fell in love with Jeremy by a campfire, and “campfires and embers have a lot of significance” in their relationship.


“We just love the name. It was beautiful, short, clean, unique,” Jeremy added, noting that the “little fiery one” already lives up to it too.


Jeremy called Ember’s birth and holding her for the first time “truly remarkable experience," something any first-time parent can relate to. 


Audrey, who Jeremy said gave birth to Ember on her hands and knees, called her birth a "relief," but also, an event of "so much joy.”



Jeremy and Audrey were “bawling” and say they felt they were “holding a miracle” when Ember came into the world September 10.


The first month, as expected, has been full of mental and physical fatigue, or as Jeremy put it, “right now, it’s an exhausting experience.”


Audrey"s health concerns (follow the link for more on Roloff"s postpartum symptoms) are no joke, but she says it"s 100 percent worth it.


He said they are already “wiped out and totally tired” but the “joy we are going to get from her” far exceeds any sacrifice they"re making.


Despite the duo"s description of the newborn as “rambunctious” and “active,” precious little Ember was asleep during most of the video.


Guess even the wild ones have to sometimes.


She"s “a kicker” and “a cuddler,” according to her parents, though he noted, “right now she’s sleeping, which doesn’t happen very often.”



Jeremy thanked Little People, Big World fans for their support and for following and their lives in general throughout this amazing journey.


Fans, undoubtedly, are excited to see baby Ember and baby Jackson, her cousin and the son of Zach and Tori Roloff, on TLC soon.


With a new generation of Roloffs coming into the world, not to mention Molly Roloff"s wedding, there"s a great deal of material for sure.


It"s not clear when the popular Little People, Big World will return to the network, but we know new episodes are planned for some point.


A new video on Matt Roloff’s Facebook page indicates that filming is currently underway, so we"d have to guess sometime next spring.


We can"t wait.

Joy-Anna Duggar Got Pregnant Before Marriage, Doctor Claims

Ever since Joy-Anna Duggar revealed that she’s pregnant with her first child, there’s been speculation about when exactly she conceived.


The announcement came just three months after Joy-Anna married Austin Forsyth in a ceremony that was initially scheduled to take place several months later.



It was enough to spark fan rumors about “Joy-Anna’s shotgun wedding.”


The Duggars famously forbid just about any form of pre-marital physical contact, so the news that Joy-Anna got pregnant out of wedlock would be devastating to their carefully crafted public image.


Earlier this week, Joy-Anna posted a politically charged Instagram post, in which she railed against abortion while offering fans the latest on her pregnancy.


“Can’t wait to meet our baby!! I got to feel it kick for the first time a few days ago!!!” Joy-anna wrote.


“Soooooo amazing!!! It’s already about the size of a bell pepper and weighs around half a pound!!!” she added.


Several fans took to the comments section to point out that the conditions Joy-Anna is describing typically occur several weeks further along in a pregnancy.



Now, a doctor (who, it should be noted, has not treated Joy-Anna personally) has confirmed to Radar Online that based on her photos and descriptions, Joy-Anna got pregnant much earlier than she claims.


“She looks about 24-26 weeks pregnant,” Dr. Sean Henry tells Radar.


“People start feeling fetal movement between 19-21 weeks. She looks bigger than 20 weeks.”


Henry, of course, is not the first doctor to confirm what so many fans already suspected.


When Joy-Anna announced she was expecting and claimed to be only three months along, Dr. Stuart Fischer informed Radar that the 19-year-old appeared to be “four to five months pregnant.”


The news will come as no surprise to the many fans who have already theorized that Joy-Anna is being less than truthful about her conception date.



“She looks dang close to delivery,” one fan wrote on Joy-Anna’s latest post. “There is something amiss about her date of conception.”


“Sex before marriage is forbidden by God but you certainly had no problem with that now did you? #Hypocrites,” commented another.


Before announcing the pregnancy, Joy-Anna and Austin admitted to breaking courtship rules, but it was widely assumed that they held hands for more than a few seconds or spent unsupervised time alone (both of which are forbidden by the Duggars).


Now, it looks as though the Duggars may have another scandal on their hands thanks to mounting evidence that Joy-Anna got pregnant out of wedlock.

Dance Moms Season 7 Episode 23 Recap: A New Team Forms

Abby Lee Miller learned the hard way that her formers team members were not about to let her win it all. 


When Dance Moms Season 7 Episode 23 got underway, Elliana, Lillianna, Brynn, and Maesi were the only ones who remained on the team, and Abby continued to whine when she was scolded for being late to rehearsal. 



Abby noted that it was time for a new beginning with some new girls and that it was time to start winning again. Her first big change is getting rid of the pyramid system. It would be difficult to do it with four girls, we guess. 


Lilli, Elli, and Brynn were handed solo dances. Maesi was left out in the cold, and that was probably a good thing. Her dances are different to the ones you would expect in a competition. 


When we caught up with the new team, they were calling themselves “Irreplaceables.” Fitting really when you consider the fact that Abby is happy to press on without them. The moms knew it was integral to make sure the girls turned in a solid performance to make Abby upset. 


Aisha appeared and tried to help change things up for the girls. She wanted them to break away from Abby and become something new and better. 



Camille and Christi bonded over their mutual hatred of Abby. Their issues with her seemed to stem from her nice exterior, but horrible interior. 


Abby decided it was time to bring in a male dancer to mix things up and stick it to the other mothers. His name is Darrion and nobody was happy about this last-minute addition and that he was male. 


The other team struggled because Kendall declined the opportunity to do her solo because she felt like the biggest success would come from the group number. 



The mothers from both sides met up to consume alcohol and chat about what was going on. It resulted in a lot of back and forth that made it clear the producers threw this segment in to raise the stakes. 


Aisha got upset that the girls were not pulling their weight and that rehearsals had been going on for a week. In the end, the mothers and daughters turned on Aisha because of the way she was acting. 


Maybe Abby was not such a bad teacher for them, after all. Aisha threw the mothers out of the studio to gather her thoughts. How long will she last?



We have no idea.

The Voice Recap: Did Jennifer Hudson Throw a Shoe?

Which potential winners made their mark on the judges with the fourth round of Blind Auditions?


The Voice continued with its usual Tuesday installment, and there was no shoe throwing on this installment, so it was not quite as exciting as the previous episode. 



Still, Jennifer Hudson is an exciting addition to the coaching panel. Dare we say this is the best panel the show has ever had?


After all these years, there are four likable people sitting in those spinning chairs. 


Let’s break down the performances from the episode. 


Anthony Alexander – “Redbone”


Know the feeling you get when someone opens their mouth to sing, and their voice is just mesmerizing? That’s the exact feeling we got when Anthony put his spin on “Redbone.” He has a lot of star quality and would probably be able to make the jump to a full-fledged artist without many changes. 


He went with Team Adam in the end, and we can’t help but think this was a good move. 



Sophia Bollman – “Invincible”


Sophia went with a song that could show off her vocal prowess in a big way. She also had charm, sass and everything you would expect from a young artist. There were some worrying notes, but with some work, Sophia could be up there with some of the best. 


She went with Team Miley, and that was a good move. We could imagine them doing a duet. 


Karli Webster – “You’re So Vain”


You win some; you lose some. Karli’s voice was not as well-versed as well as the others who made it through on the episode. There is some talent there, but will she be able to weather the storm and defy the odds?


She went with Team Miley. 



Stephan Marcellus – “Take Me to Church”


Stephan had a unique voice, but the performance was not all that. It picked up considerably in the second half. But, were nerves to blame, or is there something else going on here?


Either way, Jennifer will find out since he’s on her team now. 


Emily Luther – “Summertime”


Emily was not a fan of how bad the record business was when she was part of it, so she’s trying her hand at The Voice, and it seems like she’s in the right place. Her talent will be nurtured by Adam. 



Okay, that’s a wrap, you guys!


What did you think of the performances?


The Voice continues Monday!
