Days of Our Lives reveals detectives JJ Deveraux (Casey Moss) and Shawn-Douglas Brady (Brandon Beemer) had a near fatal encounter with Vivian Alamain’s (Louise Sorel) henchman Klaus Mueller (Bassel Alzaro) this week, and Liam Selejko (Hank Northrop) was about to be shot by Klaus when JJ showed up, but then the detective froze and nearly got them both killed.

Thankfully, Shawn showed up and saved the day. But it seems like JJ might be on the brink of a spiral. And I wonder if he’s going to hit the booze or pill bottle like he’s done in the past or something much more terrible that he’s done in the past when he was spiraling. We’re going to dive into what happens to JJ.

JJ Freezes During Shootout with Klaus on Days of Our Lives

So, we have JJ quite shell shocked. And now Shawn is gravely wounded, but the good news is he will be okay. He’s in the hospital after the run-in and double shooting with Klaus. So, good news is that Shawn seems to have finished off awful Klaus. We could soon see JJ spiraling after failing to protect his work partner and cousin, Shawn.

And JJ also just nearly stood there and allowed Liam to get shot in the standoff, too. I mean, he was injured, but not seriously. And honestly, I kind of felt this might have been coming given many of the hints they dropped during JJ and Theo Carver’s (Cameron Johnson) interactions and conversations over the last couple of months.

You know, JJ felt like he was in a good place in life. He was taking sensitivity training courses. He was going to counseling as part of his healing from the trauma of shooting Theo Carver years ago. And of course, he has since forgiven JJ and decided that he’s all right with him being on the force again. Theo, you know, brought that up.

JJ’s DOOL Past: Shooting Theo and Nearly Taking His Own Life

So, a little backstory for those who may not know, may not remember, maybe newer. About eight years ago, rookie cop JJ Deveraux shot Theo while he was fleeing a break-in scene in a hoodie. Theo had been hired to do some hacking. I think Cade had hired him, so he was out doing some shady stuff, but JJ fired. And Theo was clearly unarmed.

JJ was devastated when he saw that he had shot Theo. And back then after the shooting, JJ wound up on the brink of suicide. He even wrote goodbye letters to all of his loved ones, gave away all of his possessions. Not only that, but he broke up with his then girlfriend, Lani Price (Sal Stowers), because of all the guilt he was suffering.

And JJ was facing suspension and charges with the SPD. So, he just couldn’t take it anymore. Then JJ went and checked into a hotel on Christmas Eve 2017. And I guess that’s eight and a half, nine years ago. So he planned on intentionally overdosing himself.

Days of our Lives: Gabi Saves JJ

However, Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) just had this feeling, this gut feeling, a hunch that JJ needed help. And she got there in the nick of time and stopped him. And then Gabi stayed the night with JJ to keep him safe and was talking him through the deep depression and this rock bottom moment he was in. After that, things began to slowly get better for JJ.

Then Theo woke up from his coma. That was Christmas Day 2017, but he was paralyzed and there was a very long road to recovery for Theo. But he eventually learned to walk again. And he was at this specialized rehab center in Johannesburg, South Africa and Theo forgave JJ’s awful mistake and then you know he moved there and he and Theo became roommates and business partners in South Africa.

So, in recent months we had Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis) bringing Theo home from South Africa to run DiMera Enterprises and he was stunned to find that JJ was back in Salem and had a job with the Salem PD again. And if you don’t remember, his girlfriend cheated and JJ was upset.

That’s why he came back to town before Theo. And Theo went and tried to get top cop Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) to fire JJ and was telling her stuff about the shooting. But Jada insisted that JJ was a good cop and he was taking the necessary classes and getting counseling to stay a police officer and do a good job at it.

JJ Had a PTSD Flashback During the Shootout on Days

And now Theo and JJ have finally reached a level of trust again, and they actually celebrated St. Patrick’s Day at the Brady Pub together drinking those green spritzers. But things took a turn when JJ came back to the pub. He had left something behind when he was sitting with Theo.

And that’s when JJ ran into Shawn and they were kind of catching up for a moment and then Shawn got a message that Klaus was spotted in the warehouse district. So, JJ and Shawn raced out of the Brady Pub, headed over to find the bad guy.

Meanwhile, Klaus had caught up with Liam and he had his gun out and Klaus was about to put a bullet in Liam’s head to tie up a loose end so he couldn’t implicate Vivian in the DiMera kidnappings.

But JJ got there first, right after, you know, Liam and Klaus got there and he stepped in front of Liam while Klaus was aiming at the guy. And then JJ just froze up. Then he was haunted by this flashback of the night he almost killed Theo while on duty. And that delay gave Klaus time to fire and a bullet grazed Liam’s arm.

Days of our Lives: Shawn Saves the Day

And then Shawn showed up and leaped in front of both of them, JJ and Liam, right as Klaus was getting ready to shoot a gun and Shawn and Klaus exchanged gunfire same time. Meanwhile, Liam took off running. He’s terrified, understandably, and both Klaus and Shawn were shot and JJ just stood there in disbelief and then he finally snapped out of it and called for help.

Thankfully, Days of Our Lives spoilers point to Shawn making it through. He and JJ are talking at the end of this week at University Hospital. And I wonder if JJ is gonna tell Shawn that it’s his fault he got shot because he froze up and he couldn’t do his duty.

Will JJ Spiral Again?

This turn of events could actually cost JJ everything all over again. JJ may be on leave along with Shawn while Jada has to investigate an officer involved shooting. The last time JJ discharged his firearm in the line of duty was the incident with Theo. And of course JJ almost committed suicide over all that. Now his cousin Shawn is lucky to be alive and JJ freezing up is definitely a contributing factor to his shooting.

And this time the guilt he feels is going to be different because JJ just did nothing. He didn’t shoot. He didn’t do what he’s supposed to do, what he’s trained to do. Three people wound up with bullet wounds. Liam with a very minor one, Shawn with one more serious, and Klaus who seems to be enjoying a dirt nap at this point.

Then we could see JJ turning to drinking or drugs over all this to start numbing the pain again. If you remember, JJ had a drug problem right out of high school. Plus, he isn’t in a relationship with anybody right now, so he’s lonely, and that means nobody’s there to see the warning signs. His parents are across the country. But thankfully, he is not living alone. And of course, the Gabi ship sailed a while ago when JJ suspected she shot EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel).

Days of our Lives: Will Gabi Step in Again?

But maybe she’ll see these same warning signs. And hopefully Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes) is going to keep a watchful eye on JJ because he’s family and he’s living in the Horton house. However, Julie’s pretty busy. So, you know, we’ll see.

And this could get awkward for JJ and Julie, especially since she’s tutoring Liam. And of course, we know that Theo isn’t thrilled that Liam’s around because that was his high school bully. To be fair, petty criminal Liam did apologize for his role in the DiMera kidnappings, which Theo got pulled into.

So, will JJ tell Shawn the truth that he had a PTSD flashback and just stood there and couldn’t do his job and that’s why Liam got shot and that’s why Shawn got shot? So, I wonder if Theo is going to be there to comfort JJ. I do think Theo is somebody that JJ might confide in.

And I also really hope JJ doesn’t spiral out. You know, maybe Gabi will see the signs and help him through or tell other people they need to help him. The new police drama may not be good for anybody involved, especially JJ Deveraux. But at least Shawn is going to survive.

It’s 2026 and everything sucks. The cost of living has gone up exponentially, and quality of life has dipped right along with it. Lines are longer, everything is automated, nobody’s paid enough to care, and I don’t blame them. When you’re stuck renting from people who treat the concept of a home as an investment opportunity, don’t have a lawn to call your own, and pay a third of your income in taxes before getting taxed again on every purchase, it’s really easy to stop caring. After all, what’s the point? The average person can’t get ahead, and when they do, some medical emergency or unexpected financial hurdle sets them back three years.

It’s really easy to not care. But here’s the counterpoint nobody tells you: it’s really easy to pretend that you do care. In fact, acting like you care is a skill you should always be fine-tuning because it will change everything for you.

From McDonald’s To The Corner Office

I rarely eat fast food anymore. The value just isn’t there, and getting the correct order feels like a coin toss. It’s a shame because fast food is supposed to be convenient and engineered to be delicious. I’d probably hit the drive-thru more often on a busy day if it wasn’t easier and cheaper to cook at home. Which is unfortunate, because there’s nothing better than a burger and fries after the day escapes you.

The last time I got McDonald’s, I was coming home from a gig, hadn’t eaten all day, and was dreaming about a Quarter Pounder like a cartoon character hallucinating a roasted turkey in the desert. I reached into the bag to do a quality check before leaving. My hand, the burger box, and the bag itself were soaked, like the whole thing had been dunked in a grease trap and served anyway. “No biggie, I’ll just go inside and get this fixed,” was my thought.

When I asked for new food that wasn’t drenched to the point of falling apart, the response I got was “that’s just the grease,” followed by blank stares. After about 10 minutes of trying to get my food and go home, my hangriness kicked in and I said, “I’m not asking you to give a sh*t, but could you at least pretend you do?” Which, honestly, is something we could all do better.

Mistakes happen. That’s fine. But the general sense of malaise I’m sensing, not just at McDonald’s but everywhere, is palpable. On one hand, I get it. The graveyard shift sucks, and I probably caught someone on an off day. But a simple “sorry about that, your concern is valid, we’ll fix it” goes a long way. Acting like you care costs nothing.

During my tenure as an office drone, I ran into high levels of not caring on a daily basis. So much so that when my fellow supervisors and I had to distribute annual performance bonuses, we often favored the employees who acted like they cared. They weren’t always killing it all the time, but they showed up, owned their mistakes, vowed to do better, and were generally pleasant to be around. The higher performers who outwardly didn’t care, on the other hand, brought everybody down with them because not caring in this kind of setting is rightfully contagious, making everybody else miserable and less productive in the process.

When I epically messed up an account thanks to my own carelessness, I’d hear the client out, explain what went wrong, and assure them safeguards would be put in place so it didn’t happen again.

The reality was I didn’t really care. We were all overworked, underpaid, and constantly reminded how expendable we were. But when I got pulled into a corner office to get chewed out, I treated the issue with urgency, smoothed things over, and moved on. The people who were past the point of saving would get defensive and combative, not realizing how quickly things could escalate against them. 

Actually Caring Is Better, But We Can’t Do That All The Time

Anybody with young kids will tell you they have a sixth sense for unloading on you when your mental bandwidth is maxed. You’ll be on the side of the road changing a flat tire while they’re talking a mile a minute about their favorite Paw Patrol episode or one of their 25 classmates in excruciating detail. In those moments, you may not care at all, but you do care about your kids. That’s the difference. Getting on their level and letting them know they’re seen and heard is all it takes. Acting like you care when you have much more pressing issues in front of you still counts. It actually means the world to them. They just want to know you’re present and listening.

I’ve been driving around for a month with a rotten pinecone sticking out of my center console because my 4-year-old son gave it to me. I hate that pinecone. I want to throw it out the window every time I start the car, but every time we buckle up, he’s so proud of it and beyond happy that I kept it. Even though I’m pretty sure it’s moments away from releasing spiders.

The secret nobody wants to tell you is that showing up is 99.99999 percent of everything. Whether you’re in a band, a bowling league, or just roped into bringing something to the dinner party you were dragged along to, putting in even a small amount of effort and acting like you care gets noticed. That particular something you showed up to means something to somebody. Stepping outside of yourself is a superpower because it’s so easy to cancel plans. We’ve all done it. And we all should sometimes.

You can’t always be on your A game. That’s impossible. There will always be days where you couldn’t give a rat’s ass about anything. But acting like you care, even when you don’t, has a ripple effect that makes the day-to-day grind more tolerable for everyone around you. And more often than not, it ends up working in your favor too because people notice.

The legal case involving YouTuber Corey Pritchett Jr. has officially come to a close. The influencer has reportedly been cleared of all charges in connection with an alleged November 2024 kidnapping in Houston.

Charges Dropped Against Corey Pritchett Jr. In Aggravated Kidnapping Case

According to the Houston Chronicle, charges against Pritchett were dropped on Wednesday, March 18, at the complaining witness’s request.

The 27-year-old YouTuber had faced two counts of aggravated kidnapping after being accused of abducting two women following a bowling outing in Houston in November 2024. Reports alleged that Pritchett offered to drive the women home but pulled a gun during the ride and made threats. He later released the women, allegedly leaving them stranded on the side of the road. Pritchett has consistently denied the accusations.

After a warrant was issued for his arrest, authorities discovered through social media that Pritchett had booked a one-way ticket to Dubai. He was later taken into custody in January 2025 at a Houston airport and held on a $200,000 bond.

Corey Pritchett Speaks Out After Charges Are Dropped

Following the dismissal, Pritchett quickly took to social media to address the outcome.

On Thursday, March 19, he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, “Case was dismissed yesterday actually. I didn’t have to even go to court.”

He also posted a video on Instagram showing himself removing the ankle monitor he was required to wear as a condition of his release.

In a separate post, he shared a cryptic message: “They gone pay, hold it down.”

Social Media Reacts

Reactions online have been mixed, with some users supporting Pritchett and others questioning the circumstances of the case.

Justin Bieber reportedly had a heated moment with his former mentor, Usher, at an afterparty, which has now sparked new attention over their links to disgraced rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Usher, whom Bieber was once signed to under his record label, is known to have been mentored by Diddy. That relationship led to Bieber being within Diddy’s circle for a while at a young age, as seen in resurfaced videos last year.

In the wake of Diddy’s legal drama, Bieber has denied ever being assaulted by the rapper. However, his demeanor in recent months has sparked concerns about his well-being.

The Reason Behind Justin Bieber And Usher’s Alleged Altercation Remains Unclear

Since an outing at Coeur d’Alene Lake in Idaho in 2022, Justin Bieber and have not been seen in public together until they recently reunited at an Oscar afterparty hosted by Beyoncé and Jay-Z.

Surprisingly, the reunion was not a moment of camaraderie, as sources told TMZ that the two got into a heated exchange despite being in the presence of other high-profile individuals like Taylor Swift, Michael B. Jordan, Ryan Coogler, Timothée Chalamet, Kylie Jenner, and Austin Butler.

According to some insiders, the heated exchange escalated into a fistfight, while others claim it did not go that far.

Some also stated that Usher approached Justin at the party with “energy and anger,” which seemingly sparked the drama.

While the cause of the alleged altercation remains unclear, it has raised renewed interest in Usher and Bieber’s links to disgraced rapper Diddy.

The Alleged Altercation Has Led To Renewed Interest In The Duo’s Links To Diddy

Both Bieber and Usher were protégés of Diddy, which, at the time the music mogul’s sexual misconduct allegations emerged, sparked speculation over whether Usher may have allowed Bieber to be exposed to inappropriate situations by bringing the then-teenage star into Diddy’s circle.

That narrative was revisited by netizens in the comment sections of posts about the altercation between Bieber and Usher.

“It’s probably because Usher introduced Bieber to Diddy when he was a kid,” one user noted about the alleged fight, while another wrote, “I bet it had something to do with Diddy.”

A third netizen asked, “Wonder if it went something like ‘You knew about Puff and still left me alone at his crib?’”

Another person claimed, “We all know why!! Bro still traumatized getting DIDDIED and knows Usher was the main reason!”

One more individual commented, “This happens when you grow up and realize that a whole lot of people from your past mistreated you when you were a child. And it’s unbearably painful to remember how people whom you looked up to betrayed you.”

Justin Bieber Once Spent 48 Hours With Diddy As A Teenager

Amid Diddy’s legal issues, videos of him and Bieber resurfaced, with one in particular allegedly showing the two spending 48 hours together.

The video did not reveal much about what they planned to do, but the pair did discuss the prospect of getting “some girls.”

“Where we hanging out and what we’re doing we can’t really disclose. But it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream,” Diddy could be seen saying in the video, per The Blast.

“For the next 48 hours, he’s with me. And we’re gonna go full. Buck full crazy,” Combs also remarked in the footage.

Bieber, at the time, was still signed under Usher, who is believed to have permitted the then-teenage pop star to spend time with the music mogul.

Usher Revealed He Saw Curious Things At Diddy’s House

Usher once spoke out about his experience as an upcoming artist being mentored by Diddy.

In a 2016 interview on “The Howard Stern Show,” the singer recalled his time living at the rapper’s home when he was just 14 years old.

In the video of the interview, Usher alleged that it was LA Reid’s idea for him to live with the rapper so he could “see the lifestyle.”

When host Stern asked Usher if Diddy’s house was “filled with chicks and orgying nonstop,” the 47-year-old responded, “Not really… I got a chance to see some things. I don’t know if I could indulge and even understand what I was looking at.”

“It was pretty wild. It was crazy. There were very curious things taking place, and I didn’t necessarily understand it,” Usher admitted.

Stern then asked him if he would send his kids to “Puffy Flavor Camp,” and Usher replied, “Hell no!”

Justin Bieber Denied Being Molested By Diddy

During Diddy’s trial, Bieber offered no public stance and has remained silent even after the music mogul was found not guilty of his most serious sexual crime charges.

However, Bieber, through a representative, denied being assaulted by the Bad Boy Records founder.

“Although Justin is not among Sean Combs’ victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him,” read the statement that emerged in March 2025. “Shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice these victims rightfully deserve.”

Despite the denial, Bieber’s behavior in the months that followed has hinted at at least some underlying issues. The pop star has displayed a number of strange behaviors on social media, which have since sparked concerns among netizens about his mental well-being.

Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl started regular therapy sessions after admitting to infidelity in 2024.

“I’ve been in therapy six days a week for 70 weeks,”Grohl, 57, said in an interview with The Guardian published on Friday, March 20. “I did the math the other day: over 430 sessions.”

The timeline leads right back to September 2024, when the singer publicly admitted to fathering a child outside of his marriage to Jordyn Blum.

“There were so many things that led me to this therapy,” he said. Elsewhere in the interview, Grohl appeared to address the scandal, admitting that he “needed to stop and sit with myself and reevaluate myself” — but noted that self-reflection was necessary for “many reasons” other than just stepping outside of his marriage.

“I have to be perfectly honest. Writing songs and writing lyrics about these things is sometimes enough,” Grohl explained. “As far as having a deeper, longer conversation about them, I still do reserve a lot of this for my own personal life, as impersonal and public as it may seem.”

In September 2024, Grohl took to Instagram and announced that he welcomed a daughter with someone that was not his wife. (The woman was later identified as Jennifer Young.)

“I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her,” Grohl wrote at the time. “I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness.”

Grohl and Blum have been married since 2003. They are parents of three daughters: Violet, 19, Harper, 16, and Ophelia, 11.

During Friday’s interview with The Guardian, Grohl looked back on his decision to admit his infidelity in such a public manner.

“I had to turn everything off, one of those things being my concern for what other people think,” the musician said. “Being able to shut off that part of yourself can be sometimes a very healthy exercise in considering life within your immediate radius. Not giving all of that so much currency within yourself that it can completely destroy yourself.”

Dave Grohl has experienced his fair share of relationship drama while in the public eye, including multiple cheating scandals. The Foo Fighters rocker has been married twice and stepped outside his marriage both times. He and first wife Jennifer Leigh Youngblood married in 1994. “When I first met my wife, we went out on a […]

Grohl went on to say that he’s been “overly ambitious” with certain aspects of his career. While he achieved several goals to feel something, it didn’t work.

“It feels good for 24 f***ing hours, and that feeling immediately goes away,” he said. “And there’s that hole again, there’s that emptiness, and you’re like, ‘S***, I need to fill it up with something else.’”

This is not, however, why he cheated on Blum.

“I think that’s how I ended up overextending myself and getting lost. I wasn’t sitting with myself and really letting [feelings] go from my head into my heart,” he said. “Getting to the point where I was just like, ‘I need to stop, turn everything off and find my heart.’”

Las Vegas has always belonged to those who dream biggest — and this weekend, Marquee Dayclub raises the bar once more. After a sweeping reimagination of its iconic rooftop pool at The Cosmopolitan, one of the city’s most beloved daytime destinations reopens with a look, a sound, and an energy that rewrites what daylife can be.

This isn’t a facelift. This is a full reinvention. Marquee Dayclub’s 2026 grand reopening marks the culmination of a transformative collaboration with Rockwell Group — the acclaimed design firm behind some of the world’s most extraordinary hospitality experiences — resulting in an outdoor space that feels simultaneously intimate and electric, desert-grounded and Vegas-spectacular.

DESERT SKY, REIMAGINED

Step into the refreshed Marquee Dayclub and you immediately feel the shift. Guests enter directly from Marquee Nightclub, moving from its deep purples and velvet textures into a sun-kissed world of water, stone, and woven warmth. The contrast is intentional — and breathtaking.

Rockwell Group drew inspiration from the Mojave’s ever-shifting skies, building a palette of warm terracottas, soft blushes, cool lilacs, and sun-bleached neutrals that play across the deck from morning into golden hour. That gradient reaches its most dramatic expression in custom murals wrapping the curved rotunda walls, where amber transitions to lavender in forms that echo the arc of the desert sun. Soft, organic shapes define the space throughout — arched portals, rounded daybeds, scalloped cabana trims — all contrasting beautifully with the venue’s bold architectural canopy and structural rhythm. It’s a tension the designers clearly relished: serene and spectacular, cozy and grand.

CABANAS, POOLS & PURE LUXURY

The redesigned pool deck anchors the experience: a long central pool flanked by upgraded VIP cabanas, lounge daybeds, and open-air seating that invite guests to settle in, sip, and stay awhile. Each cabana is a world of its own — draped curtains, striped wallcoverings, tactile upholstery, and sculptural mirrors create a sense of refined privacy just steps from the action.

The crown jewel: a series of VIP in-water daybeds at the edges of private pools, draped in translucent curtains that flutter with the desert breeze. Marquee’s Grand Cabanas elevate the concept further — semi-enclosed retreats with ceiling fans, panoramic Strip views, and plush sectional seating that feel more like boutique suites than poolside perches. A curated food and beverage menu rounds out an all-day experience designed to keep guests exactly where they want to be.

BUILT FOR THE DROP

At the heart of the dayclub’s rebirth is a dramatically reimagined performance zone. The DJ booth and stage have been redesigned as a sculptural focal point — a sweeping overhead canopy washed in gradient LED lighting stretches out over the crowd, mirroring the colors of a desert sunset. Below it, a stone counter with a powder-coated mesh front and painted arch pattern gives the booth a monumental, gallery-worthy presence.

Paired with a completely new, world-class sound system, the stage isn’t just a backdrop — it’s the beating heart of the space. Columns surrounding the pool deck feature digital screen wraps that allow the entire environment to transform as the day progresses, syncing the visual experience with the music for a truly immersive atmosphere unlike anything else on the Strip.

Martin Garrix Headlines Relaunch

Helping christen the newly reimagined space is none other than Martin Garrix, who takes the decks at Marquee Dayclub this Saturday, March 21st alongside fellow Dutch talent Justin Mylo. A three-time holder of the #1 spot in DJ Mag’s Top 100, Garrix has headlined festivals across the globe and locked down residencies at some of the world’s most prestigious clubs Tao Group — making him the perfect headliner to inaugurate Marquee’s brand-new stage and sound system. There’s no better way to debut a world-class performance setup than with one of the world’s biggest DJs behind the booth.

Jessi Ngatikaura’s marriage to Jordan Ngatikaura made headlines after she admitted on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives that she had an affair with Marciano Brunette.

The couple started dating and got married before the hit Hulu series premiered in September 2024. During the first season, Jessi’s personal life wasn’t in the spotlight, but that all changed after she filmed two episodes of Vanderpump Villa. From there, rumors spread about Jessi’s relationship with Marciano, which she denied was anything more than a friendship while filming season 2.

The season 2 finale, which aired in May 2025, took Us by surprise when Marciano claimed he slept with Jessi. She didn’t initially clarify the allegations but noted that there was more to the story, which would play out on screen.

“I’ll say I’m an open book. Even though there were things I hadn’t shared yet — once I was in the position to share them — I have nothing to hide,” she exclusively told Us Weekly in June 2025. “I was willing to just lay it all on the table.”

For some The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives couples, going on a reality TV show made their marriage stronger — while others crumbled under the pressure. When Hulu debuted The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives in September 2024, viewers were introduced to Jen Affleck and husband Zac Affleck, Demi Engemann and husband Bret Engemann, Whitney […]

Jessi said it is important to “just be honest,” sharing, “I’ve made mistakes. My husband has made mistakes. Everyone in their life has made mistakes. I think sharing those is relatable and hopefully people can get something out of it.”

Despite the ongoing obstacles, Jessi sounded hopeful about her future with Jordan.

“Every relationship has ups and downs. But when you’re on reality TV, it puts a microscope on it and everyone sees everything and has opinions. It’s hard not to have it affect your friendships, your relationships and your family life,” she noted. “That was definitely hard.”

Jessi continued: “Now that we’re done filming for a little while, I’m just going to focus on my family, my kids and get back on track with all of that. Then hopefully I will be in a better head space for the next time we film — if we do.”

The reality star acknowledged how filming the show played a role in her and Jordan’s marriage issues, saying, “It was definitely probably the hardest time of my life filming the next season. I do think it’s going to help a lot of people. I’m excited to share my story and help with what some women go through. I do think that it’s going to be a good thing — as hard as it is.”

Jordan filed for divorce from Jessi in March 2026.

Jessi celebrated the major milestone as well, adding, “Happy Anniversary @justjordddy 💕 4 years has felt like 4 lifetimes, we’ve done so much and lived such a full life in such a short amount of time. We went back to the place we got engaged tonight and I think it’s safe to say we’ve gotten better with time 😂 love you babe!!”

May 2025

The second season of Mormon Wives called Jessi’s marriage into question when Marciano claimed they had an affair. Jessi denied the allegations but later admitted she had issues she needed to address with Jordan.

“I will say that reality TV is hard on any relationship, whether it’s a friendship or a marriage,” Jessi revealed on “The Viall Files” podcast in May 2025. “We’ve been through a lot, and now it’s going to be public.”

Jessi was also asked about not wearing a wedding ring and noted that she and Jordan were “working through things,” adding, “We’re trying our best — but things are a little tricky right now. I’m excited to hopefully someday share more about that. But right now it’s just real life and it’s hard.”

Season 2 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives ended on a major cliffhanger about Marciano Brunette‘s alleged affair with Jessi Ngatikaura, but luckily filming didn’t end there — and season 3 could be here before we know it. The hit Hulu series, which premiered in September 2024, introduced Us to a group of Mormon […]

June 2025

“We’re back working on things. Every day is different,” Jessi exclusively told Us. “Marriage is hard. We still have ups and downs — and you will see a lot of that unfold in season 3.”

Jessi noted that she was hopeful about their future, adding, “I do think that overall it’s going to be inspiring to people. I hope that a lot of people can relate.”

According to Jessi, the pair “didn’t have a choice” or option to work things out privately, resulting in the cameras capturing their marital woes.

July 2025

Jessi was directly asked whether she had sex with Marciano at the Mormon Wives reunion.

“A lot of this story is unpacked in season 3 so I can’t talk about it yet,” she said before assuming that Jordan felt “anxious, nervous and sad” hearing her discuss a possible affair. “We’re both going through a lot right now. But I think he’s willing to tell his truth too and he’s been very vulnerable throughout season 3. 
So we both just laid it all out there. There was a lot more to the story and it’s not what you think it is. There’s no secrets. Like, we are exposing it all.”

Jessi clarified that any interactions with Marciano happened “after” he allegedly spoke with Demi off screen. Later in the special, Jordan joined the group and revealed whether he thought he and Jessi would work through their issues.

“I knew what happened because of the conversations that I had had with Jessi, but it was really tough to have the allegations made,” he said about continuing to work through their issues. “I tried to talk to Bret [about Marciano]. It’s a really tough place to be. I see him a couple times a week. We wave at each other at the gym, but outside of that we don’t talk.”

July 2025

In the season 3 trailer, Jordan’s immediate reaction to the rumors about Marciano and Jessi played out, with him saying, “If I find anything else out, I am done.”

Jessi, for her part, was later seen asking Marciano, “Why did you lie to Layla about us?” Marciano hinted that he was “influenced” by Demi and even agreed to a lie detector test with Jessi about what actually happened between them.

November 2025

The third season revealed that Jessi and Jordan were going through marriage issues when she had a two-week emotional affair with Marciano. Jessi, who claimed Jordan was emotionally abusive, cut ties with Marciano and has since reconciled with her husband after filming wrapped.

March 2026

“This has not been an easy decision and it comes with a heavy heart,” Jordan said in a statement to Us Weekly. “I’m grateful for the shared memories and the lessons. While our paths are now moving in different directions, my priority remains my children and ensuring they feel loved, supported, and protected through this transition.”

The statement continued: “I am committed to handling this next chapter with kindness and respect. I kindly ask for privacy and understanding as we navigate this as a family.”

Bold and the Beautiful spoilers for next week have Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) creeping and spying on Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) and Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig).

And Daphne Rose Walton (Muriel Hilarie getting spicy with Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor). RJ Forrester‘s (Joshua Hoffman) getting spicy with Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace). There’s spice all over the place and Ivy Forrester‘s (Ashleigh Brewer) getting creepy. We have the latest B&B spoilers for the week of March 23rd. Let’s dive into what is coming because next week looks wild.

Electra and RJ Heat Up on Bold and the Beautiful

All right, let’s first chat about Electra and RJ. So, at the end of this very short week of episodes on Bold and the Beautiful, because we had those two preemptions for March Madness, we saw Electra and Dylan (Sydney Bullock) facing off in the Forrester Creations showroom.

And Electra accused Dylan of invading her world, torturing her, and worming her way into Will Spencer‘s (Crew Morrow) life. Electra told Dylan, “Do the right thing. Leave Forrester and never come back.” And she told Electra that Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) offered her this job.

She didn’t go looking for it. And then Electra clapped back that Dylan can’t stay out of her way. And Electra said that she should have said no a long time ago. I am annoyed that Dylan didn’t directly tell Electra she knows she kissed RJ. She’s still sitting on that secret while trying to, you know, kick Dylan back into homelessness.

And then Dylan overheard Daphne and Ivy getting into it about her manipulating Electra and Will into a breakup. And I’m sure that Ivy will deny what Dylan overheard. Probably verbally attack her. And I expect Ivy to try and turn it around on Dylan for not being proper or appropriate in that she shouldn’t even be there, you know.

And I do wonder if Dylan might then go to Daphne and ask what is going on and exactly what Ivy did because honestly, Dylan’s not going to get any answers from Ivy. I’m sure she’ll just get aggressive with Dylan and be hateful.

B&B Spoilers: Ivy Throwing Electra at RJ

Meanwhile, Ivy’s plot is moving forward to push Electra onto RJ and make sure she will never ever get back with Will. So, Ivy told RJ this week that Electra is available for the right guy since she and Will split. And Ivy trash talked Will to RJ and then was flattering RJ and pushing him to pursue Electra.

And of course, Ivy griped about Dylan working at Forrester now. And poor Electra is going to see Dylan throwing herself at Will. And you know, basically Dylan’s a villain. All this. Ivy was yapping about not being proper.

And I do think she’s going to encourage RJ to try and get Steffy or Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) to fire Dylan. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if Ivy also tried to get Will fired. And Steffy already told Ivy and Electra to stop it, but they show no signs of stopping it.

So, next week over at the Forrester mansion, Ivy is smirking at the progress she has made with her plan. And it looks like Electra invites RJ over to the Forrester home because she and Ivy live there with Donna Logan (Jennifer Gareis) and Eric Forrester (John McCook).

And Electra and RJ are taking selfies in their bathing suits. And like some creepy creeper, Ivy is lurking nearby, watching them, and smirking very pleased with herself. And I think that’s quite inappropriate, not proper at all.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Electra & RJ Getting Closer

And then next week, Ivy is pushing Electra at him, saying that RJ has so much going for him. And there is some heat as RJ tells Electra that she looks amazing. And she tells RJ that he looks amazing, too. And Electra is smiling and she’s looking all smitten and making big eyes at him.

So, RJ and Electra are obviously spending more time together. Looks like there are big sparks there. And I think it’d be nice if Daphne finally spoke up about what Ivy is doing because it is absolutely disgusting and despicable.

Now, we know Will is still in love with Electra, but I imagine he will see those selfies that she’s taking with RJ because, you know, one of them or both of them will post them online. And of course, Will saw her and RJ kissing and now this.

So, he thinks that at this point, and I think rightfully so, Electra is the one who actually betrayed him, not the other way around. And so we could see Will leaning into Dylan’s crush on him since Electra has broken his heart and is now basically flaunting another man on social media. And Will and Dylan have kissed a couple of times.

And of course, she is determined to win Will over. But she still might spill what she overheard. I think it’d be amazing if Dylan told Steffy, but I think she might more likely tell Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) and ask what she thinks. But Daphne really needs to open her mouth and let this out.

Daphne and Carter Get Sexy on Bold

Also in next week, Bold and the Beautiful spoilers, Daphne seductively tells Carter he’s not going anywhere with what she has planned for him. It’s sexy time for the newlyweds. So, wonder if we’re going to have a little Carter and Daphne baby on the way soon.

Sheila Spies on Taylor and Deacon

But the wildest spoiler for next week on B&B is about Sheila, Taylor, and Deacon. And if you remember, Steffy told Deacon and Taylor they were done. She told him this up at her mom’s office, and she said, “Say goodbye. It’s over.” And you know, Steffy is basically Ridge’s mini me.

Very high-handed, very bossy, acting like she is parenting her mom. Kind of the same way Ridge is parenting Eric, and it looks like her ultimatum is going to be ignored. So, next week, Bold and the Beautiful spoilers have Sheila over at Steffy’s Malibu Beach House where, if you remember, Taylor Hayes lives.

And Sheila is knocking on the door and has a bunch of flowers in her hand, calling out asking if anybody is home. Meanwhile, upstairs, we’ve got Deacon and a half naked Taylor sitting in her bed.

She’s stripped down to her bra and panties. And they’re white, by the way, because I think they’re trying to emphasize white. She’s the good girl. You know, the black bra and stuff. Sheila’s bad.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Taylor & Deacon Caught?

So, next week, Deacon tells Taylor that they tried as hard as they could. And Deacon says, “No one will keep them apart.” And then Taylor and Deacon start making out. And this is back to that B&B spoiler for March. It’s finally manifesting in the very last few days of the month.

The spoiler said that one couple makes love for the first time. Definitely looks like it is Taylor finally getting frisky with Deacon.

But Sheila isn’t going away. I mean, she knows she’s not supposed to be at Steffy’s house anyway. But that’s not going to stop her.

Like, she keeps showing up at Taylor’s office when she’s not supposed to be there and has been asked not to do it. So, Sheila even is peeking in the window panel that’s next to the door. That is stage three creeper behavior. She and Ivy are both just being creepy creepers this next week.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Will Steffy Bust Taylor with Deacon?

But the shocker is Taylor’s about to hit the sheets with Deacon. That’s bad enough. But even worse, Taylor is getting frisky with Deacon at Steffy’s house after that ultimatum that she hit Taylor with. And B&B’s latest promo wants us to think that Sheila is about to walk in on Taylor and Deacon.

Now, we do know that Sheila finds out about them. So, maybe she lets herself into the house like when Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) walked right into Thomas Forrester’s house and up into his bedroom and saw him in bed with her daughter Hope. So, this could be a replay of that.

But I think it would be far more interesting if Steffy answers the door and either tells Sheila to kick rocks and keeps the flowers or maybe she goes up to tell Taylor she’s got a visitor. Either way, I think Steffy might find her mom in bed with Deacon.

So, looks like a hot hot week on Bold and the Beautiful. Check back soon for our full spoilers for the week of March 23rd through the 27th, plus our weekly B&B predictions coming soon.
