Love Is Blind’s Alexa Lemieux is ready to open up about her decision to get a divorce from estranged husband Brennon Lemieux after four years of marriage.

“I had asked for it,” Alexa, 31, shared in Us Weekly’s exclusive sneak peek of the Thursday, May 21, episode of the “He Said, G Said” podcast. “It wasn’t because there was a lack of love on my part. I just couldn’t do it anymore. I was tired.”

Brennon, 35, and Alexa got married in June 2021 during Love Is Blind season 3, which aired on Netflix the next year. The pair later welcomed daughter Vienna in July 2024.

When speaking with podcast cohosts Blake Horstmann and Love Is Blind alum Giannina Milady Gibelli, Alexa claimed the split was mutual.

Love Is Blind alum Brennon Lemieux is speaking out for the first time since his split from estranged wife Alexa Lemieux. “Being her dad is my favorite title ❤️,” Brennon, 35, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, Feburary 21, referring to daughter Vienna, and sharing a handful of father-daughter pics. Alexa, 31, announced her separation from […]

“My main thing was I just wanted my daughter to see what love looks like, and that wasn’t it,” she explained. “It would be my biggest failure as a mom for that to be what she thought it was.”

Alexa proceeded to get emotional when she recalled reading a quote online that struck her right in the heart.

“It sounds so stupid, but I saw something on TikTok and it was like, ‘If your daughter was in the relationship that you’re in, would you be proud or would you be disappointed?’” she said while trying to hold back tears. “I would have been really disappointed. That would have broken my heart. That was my answer, so why do I deserve this then?”

Alexa and Brennon first announced in December 2025 that they had split after four years of marriage.

At the time, the pair said the decision “comes with a great deal of care, respect and appreciation for the time we’ve shared.”

That same month, Us confirmed that Brennon previously filed for divorce and claimed the marriage had “become insupportable” due to “conflict of personalities” that prevent any “reasonable expectation of reconciliation.”

Before there were any relationship struggles, Love Is Blind fans watched Alexa and Brennon form an instant connection after sharing a few pod dates together.

Angelina Jolie is reportedly planning to leave Los Angeles once her youngest children turn 18, with sources saying she intends to sell her longtime home and relocate abroad.

The move has reignited concerns about her strained relationship with father Jon Voight, who is said to fear further emotional distance from his daughter and the possibility that they may never be on good terms.

Reports also highlight long-standing family tensions, including her separation from Brad Pitt, as reflected in their children’s public use of Angelina Jolie’s last name and legal disputes over Château Miraval.

Jolie’s plans to ditch Hollywood have reportedly left her father, Jon Voight, deeply emotional over the possibility that their already-strained relationship may never fully recover.

Sources claim the two have had limited contact for years, despite Voight continuing to reach out on birthdays and holidays in hopes of rebuilding their bond.

“Jon and Angelina barely speak or see each other these days. It’s been that way for many years now, but it’s not for lack of effort on his part,” a source told a news outlet. “He still checks in with birthday and holiday messages, asking about the kids and praying that one day they’ll be able to put their differences aside and spend quality time together.”

Their complicated relationship dates back decades and has weathered several public fallouts.

One of the biggest fractures came in the early 2000s after Voight made comments about Jolie’s mental health in a television interview, prompting her to legally remove “Voight” from her surname.

Jon Voight Fears Estrangement From His Daughter May Deepen As Family Rift And Political Differences Persist

Although they later reconciled briefly, insiders say tensions resurfaced “after he spoke to the press about her and her children, which proves how seriously she protects her privacy.”

Political differences have reportedly added another layer to the divide. Voight has been an outspoken supporter of President Donald Trump and a “staunch defender of Israel,” while Jolie is widely viewed as politically progressive and deeply involved in humanitarian causes.

Sources close to the family say Voight is especially saddened by his distant relationship with Jolie’s children and fears that her move abroad could make reconciliation even more unlikely.

While he understands “that she’s sick to death of the rat race and ready for new pastures,” insiders claim he still hopes for one final opportunity to reconnect with his daughter before she leaves the United States.

“What he doesn’t understand — and a lot of people in his world, Angie’s brother, James Haven, included — is why she’s being so coldhearted toward her poor old dad,” the insider added, per the National Enquirer.

Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie’s Feud Continues To Affect Their Family

Meanwhile, Jolie and actor Brad Pitt continue to navigate long-running family tensions through their children’s evolving identities in the public eye.

Their daughter Zahara Jolie recently graduated from Spelman College with a degree in psychology and was introduced at the ceremony as “Zahara Marley Jolie,” omitting her father’s surname.

It is not the first time Zahara has publicly used only Jolie’s last name. In 2023, while joining the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, she introduced herself the same way during her induction ceremony, prompting online discussion about the family’s ongoing distance from Pitt.

Several of Jolie and Pitt’s children have reportedly made similar choices in recent years. Reports previously claimed that eldest son Maddox Jolie informally uses “Jolie” instead of “Pitt” in non-legal settings and had considered legally changing his surname altogether.

In 2024, the youngest daughter, Vivienne Jolie, was credited as “Vivienne Jolie” while assisting her mother on the Broadway adaptation of The Outsiders. Around the same time, Shiloh Jolie reportedly filed legal paperwork to officially remove “Pitt” from her name shortly after turning 18.

The Actress Scored A Legal Win In Her Château Miraval Battle As Court Blocks Brad Pitt’s Request For Private Emails

Adding to the ongoing family developments, Jolie recently scored a legal win in her dispute with Pitt over their Château Miraval winery.

A Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled on Monday that Pitt cannot compel Jolie to release a collection of private emails connected to her decision to sell her stake in the estate.

According to Page Six, the court found that Pitt “has not met his burden” required to override Jolie’s claim that the communications are legally protected.

The ruling was issued without prejudice, leaving open the possibility of revisiting the issue later in the proceedings.

Angelina Jolie’s Team Celebrated The Court Rejecting Brad Pitt’s Request

Jolie’s legal team described the decision as a significant win, arguing it reinforces the protection of attorney-related communications and rejecting Pitt’s attempt to access them.

They also accused him of overreaching in his broader legal strategy, pointing to earlier requests for privileged documents that were later reduced in scope.

Representatives for Jolie further suggested that the ruling supports their position that Pitt’s demands have consistently crossed legal boundaries in the long-running dispute over the winery.

From creators Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Tim Minear, 9-1-1 follows the lives of various first responders in Los Angeles from firefighters to paramedics to dispatchers to police officers. The high-stakes procedural drama series stars Angela Bassett, Peter Krause, Aisha Hinds, and Oliver Stark in layered and compelling roles. The show has demonstrated that it’s unlike any other throughout its eight seasons due to how it presents real-world disasters.

The 9-1-1 characters experience emergency after emergency with little time to recover, but the episode that really puts them to the test is Season 2, Episode 2, “7.1.” This entry features a major earthquake that affects the entire city. Whether you’re aware that Los Angeles is located near several fault lines or you follow a bunch of L.A. residents, you know that the city is prone to earthquakes. It not only showed how a city-wide emergency affects its citizens but the first responders as well. Along with being one of the most stressful 9-1-1 episodes to watch, the aftershocks went on to affect the rest of the series.

The ‘9-1-1’ Characters Put On a Brave Face During Major Catastrophes

An earthquake is a reminder that things aren’t as stable as they may seem. After establishing new characters, Maddie Buckley (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and Edmundo “Eddie” Diaz (Ryan Guzman), in the 9-1-1 Season 2 premiere, they’re put through the wringer with this city-wide emergency. For Maddie, it’s her first day as a 9-1-1 dispatcher, and she has to separate major calls for help from minor ones to efficiently assist as many people as possible. This episode demonstrates the psychological toll a dispatcher experiences on a grand scale as she has to channel through different calls while worrying about the safety of her firefighter brother, Evan Buckley (Stark). Despite this, Maddie uses her quick thinking to assist more people by leading them towards the first responders who are already out in the field. This begins her character’s journey towards being one of the best dispatchers in the L.A. area.

As for Eddie, 9-1-1 Season 2, Episode 2 establishes that he has a young son, Christopher Diaz (Gavin McHugh), with cerebral palsy. When the earthquake hits, he worries about his son’s safety, but he puts those thoughts aside as Henrietta “Hen” Wilson (Hinds) mentions that, as a parent, she’d want a first responder to do everything they can to save her child. This is exactly what Eddie needs to hear to focus on saving lives as a firefighter. His time as an Army medic makes him one of the most experienced members of the L.A. Fire Department. Still, this reminder from Hen is the start of Eddie putting everything on the line as a first responder, especially for children. It also introduces one of the most important characters to Eddie’s life, one who also affects Buck and affects Eddie’s time when he leaves for Texas.

“7.1” Was the Beginning of ‘9-1-1’s Multi-Episode Disasters

The earthquake in this 9-1-1 episode not only shakes the city to its core, but the series as well. It’s the first episode to feature a multi-episode disaster as a way to emphasize that this isn’t an issue first responders can quickly solve. Not only does it provide the perspective of a first responder, but through Michael Grant (Rockmond Dunbar), May Grant (Corinne Massiah), and Harry Grant (Marcanthonee Jon Reis), “7.1” also shows what it’s like to be a family member of a first responder. The Grants worry if Athena Grant (Bassett) is safe as they watch the news while she’s unreachable, dealing with the emergency. The series focuses on the lives of real-life heroes, but this episode is strengthened by showing it from the perspective of the responders’ loved ones.

9-1-1 Season 2, Episode 2 created aftershocks that would inspire later seasons to continue featuring major disasters, from blackouts to tsunamis and even a tornado of bees. Season 9’s trip up to space wouldn’t have been possible if it wasn’t for this episode that started it all. These episodes are some of the series’ best because they use the backdrop of a realistic emergency (ok, maybe not the bees or the space emergency) to further develop characters and feature meaningful stakes. The inclusion of these large-scale disasters allows the creative team, the cast, and the characters to challenge themselves and prove they can make it through anything thrown their way. It’s become an iconic part of the 9-1-1 franchise, one that was carried on to the cancelled spin-off 9-1-1: Lone Star and will likely spread to 9-1-1: Nashville as well.

Whew, Roomies! Akbar V has the internet popping OFF with reactions after spilling tea about her and Latto’s alleged beef. In videos that surfaced online, Akbar claims Latto has smoke with her over 21 Savage.

Akbar V Sets Social Media On Fire With Claims About Latto & 21 Savage

Recently, Akbar V chopped it up with fans during a livestream. While viewers watched, Akbar started going in on plenty of rappers and topics, including Latto and 21 Savage. In a now-viral clip, Akbar spilled tea about her status with Latto. She said she was cool with Big Mama at first, but things allegedly went left because of a mutual friend and because she “loved” Savage first. Akbar also said she was standing ten toes down for him because he was the first rapper to give her a feature.

“I loved Savage […] I did. Savage was the first n***a to give me a feature.” She continued, “That’s why you don’t see me saying nothing about Savage, because to this day, I love Savage.” 

Chile, that’s not all. Akbar then claimed Latto ignored her during a past run-in. She didn’t give an exact timeline of when that happened, but she said she didn’t think much of it at the time. From there, she accused the Atlanta femcee of allegedly stealing her Big Mama title. Akbar claims she’s been holding the title for years and even has an LLC named after it.

Where Is Big Mama & Savage In All Of This?

As of right now, neither Latto or 21 has reacted to Akbar’s claims. Latto has been giving fans a glimpse of her pregnancy and journey to motherhood. Recently, she had fans in their feels after she shared an emotional video documenting her new chapter and the making of her new album. The clip, posted across social media, shows heartfelt moments of her telling family and friends she’s pregnant. It also shows clips from her baby shower, where 21 makes an appearance too. Peep the viral video below.

Did 21 Savage Just Confirm The Arrival Of His & Latto’s Baby?

21 hasn’t stayed quiet either. He showed Big Mama love on social media after she announced her pregnancy in March in her ‘Business & Personal’ music video. Shortly after, Savage dropped a photo of Latto’s Paper Magazine cover on his IG Story alongside the message “Big Mama Not The Little 1.” He really had fans speculating that he fathered her child after he posted a photo of a baby in a Arsenal onesie on May 20. Savage seemingly shared a carousel of images to celebrate the Arsenal winning its first Premier League title in 22 years.

Joseph Duggar is requesting to handle upkeep on a series of properties he owns, and he needs the judge to sign off on allowing him to be within 500 feet of his alleged victim’s home in order to do so.

Court documents obtained by Us Weekly on Wednesday, May 20, show that Duggar, 31, asked to maintain his real estate properties on various parcels of land within that proximity.

“The alleged victim and her family have abandoned their residence, no longer residing at the previously listed address,” his legal team noted, per the docs filed on Monday, May 18.

Duggar listed six properties based in Siloam Springs, Arkansas, two of which are vacant, along with a to-do list for each address. The Counting On alum — who shares four minor children with wife Kendra Duggar — said he needs to complete interior painting, carpet installation, sheetrock repair, tile flooring replacement, mowing, landscaping and more work.

More details about the investigation into Joseph Duggar have been revealed after the former reality star was accused of sexually abusing a minor. Authorities have collected physical evidence and witness statements, according to a Bay County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) affidavit obtained by Us Weekly. Duggar, 31, was arrested in Tontitown, Arkansas, on March 18 and […]

It was noted that the current no contact order “is causing issues” with him being able to maintain the properties. “The Defendant is not requesting contact with the alleged victim, nor to be within 500 feet of the alleged victim, as the alleged victim abandoned the property previously listed as the alleged victim’s residence,” according to the docs. TMZ was first to report the news.

Joseph was released on a $600,000 bond on March 31, under the condition that he is not to have contact with the alleged victim or have any unsupervised visits with minors under the age of 18, including his four kids.

Earlier this week, Us exclusively reported that he filed to amend his no contact order on Sunday, May 17, pleading that he be allowed to have contact with his “own biological children,” whom he “has been unable to communicate with” since March 31. The docs clarified that the “alleged child victim in this matter is not a child of the Defendant.”

Former TLC star Joseph Duggar was arrested on March 18 after being accused of molesting a 9-year-old girl in 2020.

A now-14-year-old girl alleged that he molested her during a 2020 vacation in Panama City Beach, Florida, when she was nine. Joseph later pleaded not guilty to child molestation following his arrest.

Days after Joseph’s arrest, both he and Kendra, 27, were charged with endangering the welfare of a minor and four counts of second-degree false imprisonment. (Both entered not guilty pleas.)

Jessica Simpson set the record straight on seating her kids in coach while she enjoyed a first class flight to Hawaii.

“My mom bought those tickets,” Simpson, 45, told photographers on Wednesday, May 20, per Page Six, noting she didn’t choose the seating arrangement. “It was my mom’s treat for us to go to Hawaii.”

Paparazzi then asked the singer if she would have sat with her kids — Maxwell, 14, Ace, 12, and Birdie, 7, whom she shares with estranged husband Eric Johnson — if she bought the tickets herself. “Of course!” she replied.

Simpson’s revelation comes after her ex-husband, Nick Lachey, shared that he ran into her on the flight during an episode of Watch What Happens Live.

“I believe her kids and her — I’m not familiar with where they stand, but — her husband, maybe, were on the plane but not with us,” Lachey, 52, said, noting that her mom, Tina Ann Drew, was also on the flight.

Host Andy Cohen then asked if all her children were on the flight, but in “in a separate class of service,” to which Lachey confirmed.

As for their first run-in in 20 years, Lachey said it was “strangely OK.”

“You know, it’s been 20 years, and so we hadn’t seen each other in those 20 years and then spent six and a half hours on a flight to Hawaii together,” he recalled. “When I say ‘spent,’ [I mean] in the same vicinity. Everyone was very cordial, very respectful.” Lachey added, “It was honestly … it was fine.”

Lachey, for his part, was flying with his wife, Vanessa Lachey, and their three kids: Camden, 13, Brooklyn, 11, and Phoenix, 9.
