Jinger Duggar Pregnancy Announcement: Her Family Reacts!

Yesterday, Duggar fans received news they’ve been anticipating for over a year:

The family announced that Jinger Duggar is pregnant with her first child.

Jinger married Jeremy Vuolo 14 months ago, and Duggar women typically get to work on making babies shortly after the vows are exchanged.

Rumors of Jinger being secretly pregnant began to circulate almost immediately, but for reasons that still aren’t entirely clear, Jinger and Jeremy decided to wait.

Obviously, they don’t owe anyone an explanation, and fortunately, it seems fans and family members are too busy celebrating to ask for one.

The Duggars and their in-laws took to social media yesterday to share their elation over Jinger and Jeremy’s joyous news.

Interestingly, first up was Jill Duggar’s husband, Derick Dillard.

Derick was recently fired by TLC after expressing some wildly controversial views on social media.

This week, however, he’s been all positivity, wishing Jinger and Jeremy all the best on Instagram:

“Congratulations Jinger and Jeremy on expecting your first child! We are so excited for y’all and know you’ll make excellent parents! Israel and Sam are getting at least 43% more cousins in 2018 and they be excited like WOOO!!!” Derick wrote.

Yes, Derick is now using “urban slang.”

We guess that’s an indication of his excitement.

Not to be outdone, another of Jinger’s brothers-in-law Ben Seewald, who pointed out just how rapidly the Duggar clan is expanding:

“3 weddings in less than a year’s time, with @jeremy_vuolo & @jingervuolo, @austinandjoyforsyth, Joe & Kendra! 3 new babies (all boys) born in 2017, Henry, Samuel & Mason! And now… 3 new babies due in 2018! Boys or girls, what are your guesses?” Ben asked his followers.

On their official Facebook page, the Duggars themselves offered up the following message of congratulations:

“Congratulations Jeremy and Jinger!! We are so excited and can’t wait to meet this little one!”

Some fans are disappointed by the fact that the Duggars clearly have no intention of explaining why Jinger took so much longer than her other married siblings to start a family.

But for now, the Vuolos are clearly only interested in receiving one kind of message from fans–words of congratulations.

Briana Renee Accuses Estranged Husband of Verbal Assault, Bestiality

Things have escalated quickly between Briana Renee and Matt Grundhoffer.

It’s pretty safe to say these former lovers won’t be exchanging Christmas cards a year from now.

Back on November 10, the Little Women: LA star announced on Instagram that she was leaving Grundhoffer, but she didn’t sound too bitter about the split.

“After 3 years, and bringing the most handsome little boy into this world, we have come to the end of our marriage,” wrote Renee online, adding:

‘We rode til the wheels fell off, and now I’m only focusing on being the best mama.”

Granted, Grundhoffer had admitted to cheating on Renee, so there was clearly tension between the former spouses.

But it still appeared as if the focus would be on an amicable break-up in order to guarantee the very best for the ex-couple’s young son.

But the reality star’s divorce documents have now leaked online and they paint Grundhoffer in some VERY disturbing light.

For starters, Briana is seeking child and spousal support from Grundhoffer.

That’s not unusual, however.

TMZ also reports that she filed for a restraining order last month because she claims Grundhoffer verbally abused her at least twice in November, referring to her a “cuntt” and a “worthless bitch.”

The documents also allege he threatened to take their one-year-old son, Maverick, away from her.

And it gets even worse.

Briana goes on to say Matt is often drunk and that he threatens violence any time he’s inebriated.

She shares a story from April of last year during which he supposedly threatened to “kill everyone in the house” and adds that he talked about suicide last June.

And it gets even worse.

According to Renee, she found exchanges between Grundhoffer and another woman.

She says they were “sexually explicit and disturbing” … and allegedly “involved bestiality and proposals of sex acts with minor children, including the proposal of sex acts with Matthew’s minor child, age 12, from a previous relationship.”

Ummm… YIKES.

Not much more we can say about it than that.

After Renee initially confirmed she was divorcing Grundhoffer, a transgender model came out and labeled the pair’s relationship as the “most dysfunctional ever.”

Does this verify Renee’s claims against her soon-to-be-ex?

No.

But it’s pretty clear these two are not meant for each other, wouldn’t you say?

For now, a judge has awarded Renee full custody of Maverick and has ordered Matt to stay at least 100 yards away from her at all times.

Caleb Williams Speaks on Jana Duggar Courtship: Read My Lips ...

For weeks now, talk of Jana Duggar courting Caleb Williams, a longtime friend of her family’s, has been circulating across the Internets.

Erroneous reports of Jana courting seem to surface quite often, but this time, there was real reason to believe these claims had legitimacy.

Not only has Caleb Williams been spending time with Jana, the man also put in one-on-one time with Jim Bob Duggar, her dad.

Any courtship candidates need Jim Bob’s explicit approval – if he doesn’t arrange them personally – so this looked like a key sign.

All the while, both Caleb and Jana downplayed involvement with one another, while not explicitly denying courtship chatter either.

In other words, this rumor had legs.

The oldest Duggar daughter about to turn 28, and we all know Jana likes a rebel, so fans have been quite excited over this.

Are they or aren’t they courting, though? Williams finally spoke out on his Facebook page to clear the air once and for all …

We have good news and bad news, it appears, and whether it’s good or bad largely depends on what you were hoping for here.

The bad news, at least if you were hoping for Jana Duggar to be married off by the end of this spring, is that it’s not happening.

The good news is that if you’re interested in courting her yourself, or weren’t a fan of Williams, well, she’s still very available!

Caleb personally wrote in a Facebook post:

“There has been speculation regarding a relationship between myself and Jana. Now to clear the fog and avoid any confusion …”

“‘Read my lips … I am not dating Jana Duggar."”

“Over the past several months since an extremely unflattering image was posted by my friends and spread across the world,” he said.

The aforementioned photo of himself, in which Williams was less than fully clothed, spread “faster than a viral cat video,” as he put it.

All of that said, Caleb leaves no wiggle room when he writes that “the extent of our relationship is purely friends and nothing more.”

“Hopefully with this clarification the Internet (as well as the space-time continuum) can heal,” he adds, from this devastating blow.

Or the photo that gave him his 15 minutes, a.k.a. “the day my Gluteus Maximus gave Kim Kardashian a run for her money.”

Caleb, seen above with Jana’s dad Jim Bob at a football game in October, certainly seems like a good dude with a sense of humor.

Not unlike reports that linked Jana to Tim Tebow or Bringing Up Bates star Zach Bates or Jonathan Hartono, it just was not to be. 

Described as a “bad boy” and “a lot more liberal than his possible future in-laws,” it’s unclear if he ever considered courting Jana.

Did he want to and get shot down? Did Jana and/or Jim Bob want this and Caleb wasn’t into it? We will likely never know for sure.

All we know for certain is that with her 28th birthday coming up next week, Jana is the last of her of-age sisters to remain single.

Sweet Jana’s single status is perhaps the longest-running topic of debate among card-carrying members of Duggar Nation.

She’s said in the past that she’s been approached by men interested in courting, but has not found the right partner among them.

Yet. Which is completely fair.

If younger siblings Jill, Jessa, Jinger, Joy-Anna and Joseph already have or are about to have kids, it wouldn’t be that notable.

Jana has long been seen as maligned, however, forced by her parents to raise her siblings while unable to pursue her dreams.

When Anna Duggar hopes Jana stays single forever, we know she’s kidding, but at the same time, it kind of hits a nerve.

Kim Kardashian Klaps Back (HARD!) Against Mommy-Shamers

Loyal readers of The Hollywood Gossip will know we don’t say the following very often.

So take note of the time and date and remember where you were when these words were written, okay?

Here we go…

… you tell ‘em, Kim Kardashian!

Indeed, we are actually on the side of this reality star for once in the face of criticism she’s facing for allegedly abandoning her son when he needed her most.

As previously reported, poor little North West spent two nights in the hospital last week after being diagnosed with pneumonia.

This can be a pretty serious health issue for anyone, let alone a two-year old with an immune system that is not yet fully formed.

In writing about this scare, TMZ noted that Kim and Kanye West took turns sitting by North’s bedside, implying the former wasn’t with her child the whole time he was sick.

Moreover, photos of Kim celebrating New Year’s Eve gave some fans the impression that she was partying instead of tending to her son.

This rumor finally made its way back to the mother of two on Wednesday and this is how she responded:

“I haven’t heard this BUT lets get this straight,” Kardashian Tweeted, adding forcefully::

“I did not leave my son for one minute during his hospital stay. We were there Wednesday night to Saturday. NYE WAS SUNDAY NIGHT.

“People came over when he was already asleep for the night! Don’t even try me when it comes to my kids.”

Like we said above:

You tell ‘em, Kim Kardashian!

The former sex tape star has given critics plenty to slam her over, from her frequent nude photos to her constant emphasis on weight loss to her general philosophy of trying to profit off absolutely EVERYthing.

But she’s a great mother. Full stop.

Kim has never given us a reason to doubt she adores her children.

Can she be petty when it comes to her feud with Taylor Swift? Absolutely.

But, again, this has nothing to do with her dedication to motherhood.

Heck, Kim and Kanye have embraced being parents to such an extent that they will soon do so again:

Via surrogate, the superstars are about to welcome a third child into their family.

And we have no doubt they will shower this (rumored) little girl with love and affection.

So back off, haters. Find another reason to bash the heck out of Kim Kardashian.

Don’t make assumption about her or her kids and definitely do not judge a situation you know nothing about.
