Hailey Bieber is turning heads in her latest campaign for Yves Saint Laurent, but not everyone is loving the look. The 29-year-old supermodel posed in a striking blue-and-black one-piece swimsuit, accessorized with gold bangles on both wrists, as she struck a power pose with her fists on her hips. The stance instantly drew comparisons to “Wonder Woman,” famously portrayed by Lynda Carter in the 1970s TV series and later by Gal Gadot on the big screen.

Hailey Bieber Dragged Online Over ‘Zoolander’ Poses

While some admired the bold aesthetic, others were left scratching their heads over Hailey Bieber’s latest campaign look. “Why is she standing like that… I don’t get it?” one follower commented on Instagram, while another added a more sarcastic take, writing, “Where’s the toilet, man?”

As the photos continued to circulate, the reactions only intensified, with critics aiming for her posing style. “It’s like Zoolander the way she has literally one look,” one user joked.

Others focused on specific shots from the campaign. “Second pic? Ironically, taking a sh-t,” one commenter wrote, while another admitted, “I laughed out loud at that picture.”

Fans Divided As Bieber’s Poses Spark Debate

Confusion remained a recurring theme throughout the comment section. “What’s with the weird-a-s poses?” one person questioned. “Is she about to pee on the lawn? What are we even doing?” another added.

Still, not everyone was critical, with some fans rushing to defend the model. “Notice how the haters are here before anybody else?? She’s really that girl…. Models have been posing like this for years now because it’s Hailey, y’all have something to say,” one supporter fired back.

Hailey Bieber Opens Up About Stepping Back From Runway Modeling

Hailey Bieber is also getting candid about why she’s taken a step back from certain parts of the fashion industry. While covering the May issue of Allure, the model reflected on an experience that impacted her confidence on the runway. “I had a really bad experience with a casting director who was very important,” Bieber said.

The moment she explained, it ultimately changed how she views that side of the industry. “He said something to my agent that just shook my confidence when it came to the runway,” she recalled. “I don’t want to feel bad about myself in this space because I feel really good about the other work that I do. So why would I even put myself in a position to feel small?”

Bieber Credits Family For Inspiring Her Skincare Brand

Elsewhere in the interview, Hailey Bieber opened up about balancing her modeling career with her growing role as an entrepreneur, particularly after launching her skincare line Rhode. The model revealed that her passion for skincare was deeply rooted in family traditions passed down through generations.

“I just could always remember my mom, as a child, getting [me] out of the bath, drenching me head to toe, just hydration, hydration, hydration, very focused on keeping the skin healthy. It started with my grandmother, she taught my mom, my mom taught me,” she shared.

The inspiration, she explained, became the foundation for building her own brand focused on simple, effective skincare.

Hailey Bieber Says ‘Hannah Montana’ Inspired Her Early Style

Even before her modeling career took off, Hailey Bieber had an eye for fashion, and she credits a Disney Channel favorite for sparking that passion. “I remember watching ‘Hannah Montana’ and being so inspired by Miley [Cyrus]’s fashion on the show, and wanting to recreate the outfits and put my own spin on them,” she said.

That early influence helped shape her approach to fashion, but over time, Hailey Bieber says her style has become more about how she feels than what she wears. “When I feel good in clothes, is when I feel they look the best, a lot of it comes from the inside-out,” she said. “One thing I’m always aiming for is to be effortless and chic, and like I’m wearing the clothes and not that they’re wearing me.”

That mindset also influences the icons she looks to for inspiration, with Hailey Bieber pointing to some of fashion’s most legendary figures. “Gisele is just a forever reference, when you think of Victoria’s Secret, you think of her and the amazing Angels, so that was fun and felt very bombshell and sexy,” she said, referencing Gisele Bündchen.

Marlo Hampton recently claimed that Porsha Williams was the reason she was not asked back for “Real Housewives of Atlanta” season 16. Now, days later, the Go Naked Hair founder is responding to her former “RHOA” co-star, saying she’s lucky she got the chance to speak her name. This comes as the show continues to deliver strong viewership in its 17th season.

Porsha Williams Addresses Having Marlo Fired From ‘RHOA’

Williams appeared on “The Breakfast Club” in April 2026 to promote “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” While on, one of the show’s cohosts, Lauren Larosa, mentioned Hampton’s recent comments regarding her “RHOA” firing.

In response, the 44-year-old said, “Oh, okay. Well, she loves talking about me, so I’m glad she got that opportunity to talk about me. She loves it.” After that, Williams claimed that Hampton gets a “thrill” from speaking about her in the press.

For context, Hampton appeared on “RHOA” as a full-time cast member for seasons 14 and 15, which were the duration of Williams’ hiatus from the show. She then returned for season 16, but Hampton didn’t.

The ‘RHOA’ Star Denies Dictating Who She Films With

Charlamagne tha God then asked Williams how she handles filming scenes with “people like that,” referring to Hampton. She responded, “You know, I’m a part of a cast, so you still have to do some scenes with people you might not want to do a scene with.”

However, Williams went on to say that she doesn’t have to be “overly engaged” with those she’s on bad terms with.

Regarding Hampton, the “RHOA” star went on to say, “I guess she’s doing her thing. She’s being interviewed. She’s not on my show. Again, she loves my name. She loves how it feels coming out of her mouth, so I’m glad she had that experience that day.”

What Marlo Hampton Said About Porsha Williams

Hampton appeared on Cam Newton’s “Funky Friday” podcast in April 2026. During the appearance, the NFL legend listed multiple “RHOA” stars and asked the 50-year-old if she was on good terms with them. Once he mentioned Williams, she said, “I don’t like her. She’s a hater, complicated.”

Regarding her status with the show, Hampton continued, “But anyway, that’s just complicated because she was very against me coming back two seasons ago. She was one of the main people against me coming back. And one thing I don’t play with, I would never try to stop someone from getting their check.”

When asked why she thinks Williams didn’t want her to return to “RHOA,” Hampton said, “I’m the one who will hold her accountable. I’m gonna ask the questions. She likes to run sh-t.” After that, she stated that Williams had failed to deliver what the network expected her to for season 16, noting that Williams was going through a divorce and couldn’t show her lavish home.

Fans Are Mixed On Porsha’s Response

Following Williams’ response to her former “RHOA” co-star, fans of the show are divided, with some noting that she didn’t fully deny Hampton’s claim. One person wrote on X, “Cute shade, but she didn’t deny it. Marlo gotta respond.”

Someone else said, “Judging by her response, she definitely had her hand in Marlo not being on.” However, a different X user stated, “Marlo played her cards wrong, and she’s upset about it. Porsha doesn’t owe her sh-t.”

A different “RHOA” defended Williams, writing, “This was the best way to respond to what Marlo said. Not give it the energy people would expect.”

Lastly, someone else speculated, “So she’s admitting she made Marlo not being there a condition of her returning because she didn’t want anyone holding her accountable.”

‘RHOA’ Is On A Ratings High

Gone are the days when new episodes of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” and other “Housewives” franchises drew in millions of viewers for a single broadcast. However, many of them are still performing well, with “RHOA” season 17 among the best in recent years.

According to Bravo Ratings on X, the second episode from the new season drew in 0.711 million viewers and a 0.15 share in the 18 to 49 demographic. Notably, this is a substantial increase from the premiere episode, which delivered 624,000 live viewers and a 0.12 share in the 18-49 demographic.

New episodes of “RHOA” air on Sunday nights right before Bravo’s newest show, “The Real Housewives of Rhode Island.”

Dub Responds After Viewer Calls In About Deshae Frost

Deshae’s circle has also become part of the online conversation after his friend Dub addressed the situation during a recent advice hotline segment on his stream.

During the exchange, a viewer called in asking Dub to “keep it real” and hold Frost accountable following the viral incident involving the streamer. The conversation quickly escalated, with Dub pushing back strongly, going back and forth with the caller, and at one point telling them to “shut up.”

Dub later continued addressing the situation, arguing that people should not be focused on what they see online. He claims that viral moments do not last, adding that the internet and cancel culture are “fake.” He pointed out that when Deshae goes live again, viewers will return to watch regardless of the backlash.

Young and the Restless early weekly spoilers for April 20th through the 24th dive in to Nick Newman‘s (Joshua Morrow) overdose and Cane Ashby‘s (Billy Flynn) big gesture.

As we always do on early edition day. We start with what’s coming the rest of this week and then dive into what is ahead next week. Let’s get to it.

Young and the Restless Spoilers Wednesday, April 15th: Is Sally Pregnant?

On Wednesday, April 15th, we’ve got Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) feeling sick. So, Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) canceled his trip to go see his mom Jill Abbott in London. And Sally is telling him to please go, but Billy is hovering and kind of annoying her. And Sally at first says she might get him sick, but he dismisses that. Sally has an idea of what’s going on, but she doesn’t want to tell Billy. And instead, Sally texts Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) and asks her to do her a favor.

So, Billy brings soup again, the hovering, and Sally sends him away saying that Audra is coming over. They have some things to do. Billy wants Sally to take a sick day, but she refuses. And then Audra shows up, and Sally tells Billy to leave them alone. They’re going to get some work done. And he goes and Audra hands Sally the pregnancy test to take and she tells Audra that she thinks it’s going to be positive but seems upset about the prospect. Sally’s been pregnant before so she knows how she feels when she’s pregnant.

Adam In Las Vegas on Y&R

Meanwhile, Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) is stunned to see Chelsea Newman (Melissa Claire Egan) at the door of his hotel room in Las Vegas. She came because Adam kept dodging her calls and Chelsea wants to know where is Nick and then Riza Thompson (Tina Casciani) shows up. So, Adam introduces them, kind of awkward.

Riza taunts Chelsea a bit and then they explain to Chelsea that Riza’s partner Ronnie is really Matt Clark (Roger Howarth). And they tell Chelsea that Nick insisted on going in alone to meet Matt, but Adam was listening on the phone and there were sounds of a struggle. And then Adam, you know, ran into Riza’s room, but by then Nick was already gone with Matt.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Adam Admits His Concern to Chelsea

Chelsea thinks that they need to tell Sharon Rosales (Sharon Case), but Adam wants to wait. Rizza takes off when Chelsea asks to talk to Adam alone. And of course, he’s very worried about Nick and tells Chelsea about his brother’s wild mood swings and his weird behavior. Adam suspects that Nick is addicted to opioids, but Chelsea doubts it. And Adam thinks that Matt got Nick hooked on something worse than just the pain pills.

Rizza finds Matt in her room and he says he knows that Adam is Spyder. And then Matt accuses Rizza of working against him with Adam. Riza says yes, she knew who Adam was, but she didn’t know that that mattered to Matt. That’s why she never mentioned his name. So he drags her down to Adam’s room and Chelsea is disgusted to see him. She wants to spit on Matt and he tells them that Nick overdosed and is dead.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Devon Files Appeal On Mariah’s Plea Deal

Christine Blair tells Sharon that Devon Hamilton (Bryton James) filed an appeal on Mariah Copeland‘s plea deal and he wants criminal charges filed. He wants the deal overturned completely. And Christine says yes, it could be reversed. Sharon is terrified that Mariah is going to be sent to prison.

And of course, Sharon is blaming Ian Ward (Ray Wise) for all this. And Christine says they need to talk to Devon because he put it in motion. If you remember, he said he was going to make sure that the DA and the judge both would not be reelected. He very strongly feels like Mariah avoided all consequences and he’s worried about Dominic Chancellor Winters (Ethan Ray Clark) having PTSD and all of that.

Y&R Spoilers: Abby Shocks Devon

Meanwhile, Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway) is really annoyed that Devon filed this appeal without consulting her. Abby is insistent that Mariah needs the psychiatric help she’s getting. But Devon thinks that the judge was deceived by Christine and he fears that Mariah could still be a danger to Dominic. Now Abby thinks that Devon is just raging when Mariah is his friend on Young and the Restless.

And then Christine and Sharon show up and Devon says he will not change his mind and he storms out. So Sharon then appeals to Abby as a mom and she and Christine promise that the mental facility where Mariah is is really secure and she’s not free range or anything. And then Sharon tells Abby she worries if Mariah’s pulled out of there and sent to prison that she will be broken and will never recover.

Young and the Restless Spoilers Thursday, April 16th: Adam Forces Matt’s Hand

On Thursday, April 16th, Adam gets one up on Matt and he forces his hand. I do wonder if Adam is going to figure out that Nick is not dead because he’s definitely not. He’s in that storage locker. I think we can all figure out that Matt is lying about the overdose and the death because he is planning on all that to happen, just not yet.

Sally’s patience is tested. We’ll see if it’s by Billy as he continues helicoptering around her while she’s not feeling well. And Sally seems stressed by the idea that she might be pregnant. This may be bringing back some PTSD over her and Adam losing their baby daughter, Ava.

Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) supports Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman). Of course, he’s distraught about the state of his marriage and Diane Jenkins Abbott (Susan Walters) refusing to talk to him.

Friday, April 17th: Sharon Heads To Vegas on Y&R

Then on Friday, April 17th, we’ve got Sharon really worried about Nick. So, she decides she is also going to go to Las Vegas. Now, we’ll see if Chelsea or Adam has told her anything that Matt said or if they want to investigate first. So, since Chelsea’s there, you know, Adam’s already worried and Sharon being there could put her in danger and things get really messy.

Also, this week, Cane is chatting with Stephanie Simmons (Vivica A. Fox). Now, I expect that Cane wants to know more about what’s going on with Malcolm Winters (Shemar Moore), but Stephanie is his doctor, so her hands are tied because of HIPAA, but I’m quite certain Cane’s going to get the whole story very soon from somebody.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Victor & Diane Play with Fire

Diane and Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) scheme against Jack to give him a taste of his own medicine. Honestly, this sounds like a very, very bad idea, and there’s just this string that’s holding Victor’s marriage to Nikki together and Diane’s marriage to Jack together. And if they do something terrible, it could just snip that string and burn it all down to the ground.

Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc) and Lauren Fenmore (Tracey E. Bregman) start a new phase of their life. So, I do wonder if Michael is finally going to cut ties with Victor like Lauren wants.

Week of April 20th-24th: May Sweeps Begins on Y&R

Then the week of April 20th through the 24th, we’ve got May sweeps kicking off, you guys. Those are going to run April 23rd through May 20th. So, my next question is, are Noah Newman (Lucas Adams) and Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun) also going to head to Las Vegas?

Because it would be very convenient for Matt if all the people that he wants to punish are all gathering in Sin City and he can just be very efficient and do bad things to all of them.

Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) and Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) take baby steps towards building a sibling bond and they are both quite worried about Malcolm and I’m sure Holden’s going to have a lot of questions for Lily about their dad. And with Cane talking to Stephanie, I do expect that Cane is going to go get tested to see if he’s a donor match without telling anybody.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Nikki & Jack Grow Closer

After Diane and Victor’s petty little revenge scheme, I think we’re going to see Nikki and Jack get closer. And by the way, Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk) is not done yet. Far from it. And the big boss battle with Matt is going to kick into high gear with May sweeps starting on Thursday of this week ahead.

And Nick is at an all-time low. He’s in an addiction spiral, but he is still alive. I won’t say he’s healthy and well, but still breathing. However, Matt is planning his overdose and death. He just wants to punish his loved ones first before he takes him out.

Billy and Sally have a conversation about their future soon, and we’re going to find out if she is indeed pregnant. And we’re going to see Sharon, Chelsea, and Adam banding together to take down Matt so they can save Nick.

When Star Trek: Voyager first came out, the most fascinating character was the Doctor. While Robert Picardo’s performance was superb, it’s fair to say this character was mostly fascinating on a conceptual level. We had seen things like hypercompetent Starfleet captains and exotic aliens before, but what we hadn’t seen was a fully holographic chief medical officer. Voyager’s Emergency Medical Hologram seemed like the perfect embodiment of the Star Trek ethos. He’s a technological strange new world and new life, all rolled into one.

However, what casual audiences didn’t realize is that the Doctor wasn’t completely unique. Long before Picardo’s character ever sawed bones in the Delta Quadrant, Captain Picard dealt with another extraordinary hologram: Moriarty, the brilliant foe of the famous investigator Sherlock Holmes. Over on The Next Generation, Geordi LaForge accidentally created this villain as a sentient hologram when he asked the holodeck to create a challenge worthy of the android Data. Later, Star Trek: Voyager executive producer Jeri Taylor revealed that, in-universe, the holographic Doctor was created because Starfleet took advantage of the same accidental breakthrough that created Moriarty!

It all started in “Elementary, My Dear Data,” the Next Generation episode in which the titular android and Geordi LaForge recreated Sherlock Holmes’ adventures on the holodeck. Thanks to his positronic brain and his encyclopedic knowledge of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Holmes novels, Data is able to easily solve every mystery that is thrown at him. That’s when Geordi makes a seemingly simple request. He asks the Enterprise computer to develop a holodeck foe that could actually defeat Data, one of the smartest beings in the entire galaxy.

The computer obliges and creates a sentient version of Moriarty, Sherlock Holmes’ greatest foe. Following Geordi’s instructions, the Enterprise computer included much of Data’s vast programming, which resulted in the holographic character becoming self-aware. Moriarty ended up threatening the Enterprise on two different occasions, and Picard eventually got rid of him by trapping the unknowing villain in a simulation where he thought he had left the holodeck and could explore the stars. This was meant to be a happy ending for Moriarty, but in the show’s typically bleak fashion, Star Trek: Picard later showed us a different, more hostile version of this character created by a malevolent Section 31 AI.

How A Villain Created A Hero

What does all of this have to do with Robert Picardo’s holographic Doctor on Star Trek: Voyager? Elementary, my dear reader! Very early in Voyager’s development (the show didn’t even have a name yet), executive producer Jeri Taylor was inspired by Moriarty to create a new character. As reported in A Vision of the Future-Star Trek: Voyager, Taylor wrote down notes for a holographic doctor “who, like Moriarty, has ‘awareness’ of himself as a holodeck fiction. He longs for the time when he can walk free of the Holodeck.”

A few days later, she wrote down additional notes that contain a startling bit of Star Trek lore. “The Holo-Doctor represents a new, state-of-the-art technology which has capitalized on the serendipitous incident which created Moriarty, and has programmed a holographic character which has self-awareness of his situation and limitations.” While Moriarty is name-dropped on Voyager a couple of times, the show never mentioned what Taylor’s notes seem to confirm: that Lewis Zimmerman could never have created the Emergency Medical Hologram program if not for Geordi LaForge accidentally creating Moriarty on the holodeck.

From Villain To Leading Man?

If that’s not strange enough, there was a period of time when Voyager’s producers were considering making Moriarty a mainstay character on the show. As reported in Star Trek–Where No One Has Gone Before, Taylor’s notes mentioned that “everyone agreed that was a little too broad, and we couldn’t figure out why anyone would take him along.” After dismissing the idea, they decided “that having a holographic doctor with the full consciousness of being a hologram might be fun, and we’d never done anything like that before, except for Moriarty.”

There you have it, gentle reader. Without the character of Moriarty on Star Trek: The Next Generation, we’d never have the Doctor on Voyager. In this way, Trek’s most ambitious villain helped create the franchise’s most complex hero. Thanks to Jeri Taylor’s notes, we also know that, in-universe, Lewis Zimmerman would never have been able to create the Doctor if not for Geordi accidentally creating a sentient Moriarty so Data could have fun. In retrospect, this does make Zimmerman’s arrogance that much weirder. After all, he has a lot of attitude for someone who owes his entire career to the two biggest book nerds in the galaxy! 

On 90 Day Fiance, Forrest chooses to go home with his mom instead of staying in the Philippines with Sheena to start a life together. Laura Nevenner too makes a tough choice but Birkan surprises her with his response. Trisha gets a hard truth from Rick Van Vactor. And Elise Benson has an epic meltdown while cascading down a waterfall. Let’s break it all down in this recap of Season 8, Episode 18 Emergency Exit.

90 Day Fiance: Forrest Listens to His Mom

On 90 Day Fiance, Forrest stands by his decision to stay with Sheena in the Philippines. Until his mom Molly delivers a scathing takedown of the plan. Sheena even leaves the table for a breather. Molly lays it to Forrest. He can’t stay in the Philippines and find work. She suggests he return with her to the United States and go through some government sponsored training. And then work on getting a K-1 visa for Sheena to come to the U.S.

Forrest fights back on 90 Day Fiance. But his mom won’t stop. Continuing to mock Sheena and tell Forrest to think with his head. Sheena sobs and Molly has zero empathy. Forrest starts to wear down under Molly’s tirade. And by the time they get back to the apartment for the final night in the Philippines, he’s sold that his mom is right. He tearfully tells Sheena that he’s going home the next day with Molly and Dev.

Forrest promises he will set a plan in motion and if he can’t get her to the U.S. he will return to the Philippines. But Sheena rightly has her doubts since Molly is so manipulative with her son. And makes it clear she doesn’t trust Sheena. The next day they head to the airport. Molly is smug while Forrest and Sheena share a tearful goodbye.

90 Day Fiance: Birkan Puts Laura on the Spot

Laura Nevenner spent the night alone after a fight with Birkan over her BFF Michal. Birkan feels betrayed by Laura after Michal admitted it was Laura who came onto him and not the other way around. Birkan actually enjoyed hanging out with Michal. And thinks he’s a good guy. But he’s not okay with Laura’s role in the friendship. Laura pouts in the hotel to production. But Birkan agrees to talk so she stops for some street food and coke as a peace offering.

Birkan is cold at first. Laura explains that she fibbed about who hit on who because she feared he would ask her to end the friendship. He asks if she would do that for him. She pauses but ultimately says yes. Birkan says ok. But then clarifies he wouldn’t want her to cut Michal out of her life. He suggests they remain friends. But just that. And not continue a “weird” friendship. Laura is relieved and they hug and agree to move forward.

Before The 90 Days: Rick Van Vactor Can’t Let Go of His Ex

After a fight at the airport over a text from his ex, Trisha is no longer speaking to Rick Van Vactor. But, Trish has agreed to talk to Rick on 90 Day Fiance. Rick sheepishly approaches Trish. Who is tired of his nonsense and questions his betrayal. Rick is wishy washy. Suggesting it’s Trish who he really loves. She questions how that can be since he was texting his ex while he was with her and her family.

Rick waxes over the relationship with the ex to production. They met on vacation and it just kind of fizzled due to distance. But it’s obvious he’s feeling something for her. Trish fires off an ultimatum: block the ex or she will walk away for good. Rick gets teary eyed and says he can’t block her. Trish demands to know why. And he chokes up and says that while he wants to stay with Trish, he can’t deny he has feelings for his ex and won’t block her. So, she blocks him and walks away.

90 Day Fiance: Elise Goes Overboard

Elise Benson’s time in Australia is winding down on 90 Day Fiance. In an attempt to cement things with Josh Lawson, she wants to FaceTime with his son. He agrees to try and arrange it. Elise wants to appeal to Josh’s love of outdoor adventure. So she arranges an abseiling outing without really understanding what it entails. So she’s shocked to find she’ll be jumping into freezing cold pools of water, careening down waterfalls and gasp getting her hair wet.

She goes along, but before long it’s disastrous. She’s freezing and her hands are numb. Not to mention she’s terrified once they send her rappelling down a waterfall attached to a cord. Elise screams bloody murder and puts her fingers in her mouth. Her helmet cam captures the whole meltdown. Finally Elise descends into the water below. And immediately receives medical attention. Josh rushes to comfort her in spite of thinking she was just being dramatic at first.

While recovering on the drive back, Josh gets a text from his son’s mom on 90 Day Fiance. She’s not cool with letting Elise FaceTime with their son. Elise gets dramatic about it and complains again about being cold. Josh says he wouldn’t blame her for “walking away” and runs off to grab her a sweater. Later she gets froze out again while dressed like a casino cocktail waitress in a windy restaurant. This time the waitress provides a blanket. Josh claims he’s in love with her. But she’s unable to say it back.

TLC Couples Face the Future

Rounding out this 90 Day Fiance recap are Stig Da Artist and Aviva Duhamel. It’s just hours before Aviva is to return to the U.S. and Stig changes the game plan. Instead of making their home in Belize as they discussed multiple times, he now wants to come to America. Aviva is annoyed by this but ultimately agrees. Later, Stig reveals he wouldn’t mind relocating to Houston, Texas. He’s got family there after all. And an ex.

Before The 90 Days couple Annalyn Fox and Jovon Fox renew their vows. But not until after Annalyn chides him for not having vows prepared and not buying her a ring. But Jovon earns points when he delivers short but sweet vows and surprises her with the very ring she wanted. Till next time!

Kandi Burruss Announces Her 11-Year Marriage Is OVER… She and Todd Tucker Are Officially Separated! 

Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker are officially going their separate ways after more than a decade of marriage.

“After deep thought and a lot of prayer, I’ve made the decision to move forward with a divorce. This is a difficult and emotional time, but my focus remains on protecting my peace, being the best mother I can be, and co-parenting with love and respect,” Kandi tells PEOPLE in an exclusive statement.

“I’m stepping into a new chapter pouring into my work, my family, and my own growth. I’m grateful to everyone who supported us throughout the years, and I ask for privacy, grace, and understanding as we navigate this transition with our family.”

Kandi, 49, and Todd, 52, met during filming of The Real Housewives of Atlanta in 2011. They got engaged in January 2013 and tied the knot the following April. The pair share two kids — Ace, 9, and Blaze, 5 — along with Kandi’s daughter Riley, 23, and Todd’s daughter Kaela, 29, from previous relationships.

But fans had been speculating about trouble long before the announcement. Rumors started swirling at BravoCon, and social media detectives quickly began connecting the dots. Kandi’s followers noticed her Instagram profile had quietly dropped “Tucker,” reverting back to simply “Kandi Burruss.” While some wondered if she ever consistently used the hyphenated name, Bravo’s own website still lists her as “Burruss-Tucker,” adding more mystery to the mix.

Adding fuel to the fire, Todd was noticeably absent from BravoCon 2025 in Las Vegas — even as Kandi received the Wifetime Achievement Award. Fans questioned why her husband of 11 years wouldn’t show up for such a major milestone.

Kandi’s acceptance speech also raised eyebrows. She told the crowd she “appreciates all the support, especially now,” leading viewers to believe something was happening behind the scenes. Fans also clocked that Kandi ditched her wedding ring throughout the three-day event. People also claimed Todd hasn’t been wearing his either.

And just weeks before the split, Kandi openly discussed their “bedroom life,” insisting threesomes had never caused issues in their marriage and that you can have a successful marriage while doing threesomes. In hindsight, fans now say the comment may have hinted at deeper problems.
