Kendra Wilkinson is firing back after body-shamers suggested she ‘downsize’ her breast implants.

The former Playboy model, 40, posted about her weight-loss journey via an Instagram post on Tuesday, May 26, prompting some of her followers to offer up unsolicited advice about the size of her bust.

“Month two on my GLP-1 journey and I’m still being really intentional about how I approach this. For me, it was never just about the number on the scale,” Wilkinson captioned the post. “It’s about feeling like myself again, having real energy, and actually learning to trust the process without trying to fast forward it. I wanted this to feel honest, sustainable, and actually work for MY life.”

According to screenshots taken of Wilkinson’s Instagram Story and published by The Looker on Wednesday, May 27, some followers criticized her shape.

“The boobs make you look heavier. Bring it down a few sizes. You’ll look smaller,” read one comment.

In response, Wilkinson wrote, “Who’s paying?! “You want my Venmo to support this?”

Another comment read, “Kendra, you’re not overweight. I think your implants make you look heavier than you are. Consider a reduction in your augmentation?”

Wilkinson, who got her breast implants at 18, reacted to this remark by sharing a selfie and hitting back in text overlaid on the image.

“Until I get my GoFundMe breast reduction money, I’m going to love my boobs the way they are,” she wrote.

In the past, Wilkinson has been candid about aging in the spotlight and the criticism that comes with it.

In March, she took to Instagram to speak about “embracing herself” and rejecting any negatively thrown her way about her looks.

“I used to use a light filter on myself but now I’m just embracing myself as it is,” she captioned a selfie. “I’ve seen many people comment saying I’ve aged ‘poorly’ and that is ok. I’m ok with aging ‘poorly.’”

The Girls Next Door star went on to say that she’s the happiest she’s ever been at age 40.

“For some reason I’m happier than I’ve ever been lately, even with a little weight gain and wrinkles,” she wrote. “I’m not going to tie my happiness again into the negative energy.”

Wilkinson gave herself credit for being a “balanced, single, positive, fun woman who loves life” in the social media post.

Wilkinson found fame in the Playboy Mansion as one of Hugh Hefner’s main girlfriends in 2004 (alongside Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt), after she met the Playboy founder when she was 18 at his 78th birthday party.

Martina McBride announced that she is dropping out of President Donald Trump’s Great American State Fair after allegedly being told “misleading” information about the intentions of the event.

“I would like to talk to you and clear the air. I will not be performing at the Great American State Fair on June 25. I was presented with an opportunity to perform at a nonpartisan event but that turned out to be misleading,” McBride, 59, wrote via Instagram on Thursday, May 28.

She added, “I asked lots of questions and was assured this was a nonpartisan event that was meant to celebrate ALL 50 states. In my mind, I thought this was a great way to celebrate the states and also bring people together in the way that only music can. I saw it as just a bigger version of so many state fairs I have performed at over the years, celebrating community and what makes each state special. Sounds fun, right? Wholesome even.”

The country legend said she quickly changed her mind about taking the stage when it became clear “things started changing.” She apologized to her fans who felt betrayed by her decision to take part in the show.

Martina McBride Says She Is Most Proud of This Song

“I’ve spent my entire career singing songs about real people with real issues,” she continued. “I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to be a voice for those who have felt like they didn’t have one. It greatly upsets me that any fan who has been moved by my music may now feel like I’m abandoning the meaning behind those songs. I assure you that is not the case. I appreciate every single fan who has reached out. I hope to get back to the DC area very soon.”

She captioned the post, “I immediately knew this had to be what happened. I’m so sorry it was misrepresented but it’s no surprise to see you do the right thing 🤍.”

Many of McBride’s friends and fans quickly took to the comments section to support her decision. “WHEW,” fellow singer Jason Isbell wrote, while Ashley McBryde added, “AMEN.”

A third person noted, “Martina, you did the right thing and I will always love and support you forever you’re amazing 😘❤️ @martinamcbride.”

Biggest Country Music Controversies Through the Years

Others, however, were not on board with the “Independence Day” artist’s choice to back out. “This is disappointing, Martina. Because you choose not to participate, puts you into the division column. This is when you could shine the brightest,” one follower claimed, while another said, “This is the reason why there is such a divide in the US right now.”

Another music act, Milli Vanilli, released a statement the same day to distance themselves from the event as well.

“The original/real vocalists of Milli Vanilli, Jodie Rocco, Linda Rocco, Brad Howell, John Davis, and Charles Shaw will NOT be performing their hits live at The Great American State Fair,” the statement read. “Others using the name ‘Milli Vanilli’ that appeared on the advertisement should be considered a tribute band with no association vocally or musically to our sounds or songs.”

Other singers have also dropped out of the 16-day event, which is slated to run from June 25 to July 10 in Washington D.C. and features special guests, speakers and performers as well as attractions such as a Ferris wheel, a carousel and rodeo-style events.

Kate Middleton made a rare comment about how her cancer battle has affected those closest to her.

Posting via Instagram on Thursday, June 4, Hello! magazine shared a video of Kate, 44, visiting a cancer patient who was at the end of her own treatment.

Speaking with the patient, Kate acknowledged how tough going through a cancer ordeal can be on not only the sufferer themselves but their family as well.

“I know it’s as hard for the family and loved ones,” Kate said in the footage. “I know how hard it was for the children and my parents.”

She told the cancer patient’s partner, “You go through it with them.”

Kate Middleton Gives Rare Comment on Her Cancer Journey: 'Hugely Grateful’

Kate and Prince William have been married since 2011, and share three children: Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, 7.

Last month, William, 43, shared an update on how Kate was faring as she continues her recovery from her health woes.

“She’s an amazing mom, an amazing wife and, literally, our family couldn’t cope without her,” William said during a May 22 appearance on the U.K.’s Heart Radio. “She’s been absolutely stunning, brilliant.”

In 2024, Kate was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer, which forced her to pause her royal work commitments to undergo treatment, including a preventative form of chemotherapy.

Last year, the Princess of Wales shared that she was in remission.

“I wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you to The Royal Marsden for looking after me so well during the past year,” Kate wrote in a January 2025 statement. “My heartfelt thanks goes to all those who have quietly walked alongside William and me as we have navigated everything.”

She continued, “We couldn’t have asked for more. The care and advice we have received throughout my time as a patient has been exceptional. It is a relief to now be in remission and I remain focused on recovery … As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal. I am, however, looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead.”

Speaking to Eugene Levy on an October 2025 episode of the actor’s The Reluctant Traveler series, William shared how the kids had dealt with Kate’s health struggles

“Everyone has their own coping mechanisms for these sorts of things, and children are constantly learning and adapting,” William said.

He added, “We try to make sure we give them the security and the safety that they need. We’re a very open family, so we talk about things that bother us, and things that trouble us, but you never quite know the knock-on effects that it can have. It’s just important to be there for each other and to kind of reassure the children that everything is OK.”

Kathy Griffin is sharing a self-described “TMI” update on her health.

Posting via her Instagram on Thursday, May 21, Griffin, 65, revealed that she had been hospitalized after a medical procedure.

“I spent the night in hospital because I had complications from my colonoscopy,” Griffin wrote.

While Griffin did not elaborate on why she underwent the procedure, the comedian assured her fans that she is now on the mend despite the health setback.

Kathy Griffin Underwent a Hysterectomy for 'Precancerous' Condition

“I know, I know, very sexy but I am home now with the doggies where I belong,” she added.

According to the Mayo Clinic, a colonoscopy “is an examination of the inside of your large intestine (colon). It’s helpful for diagnosing gastrointestinal diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease and colon cancer. It can also help treat and prevent colon cancer.”

Griffin’s followers flocked to her post’s comments section to send their well wishes after the ordeal.

“Feel better soon ❤️,” wrote one, while another added, “Ugh… I’m so sorry this has happened. Bounce back, dear Kathy.”

Another follower wrote, “All that matters is that you are better and home!! Keep resting ❤️!”  One fan also chimed in with, “Wishing you a speedy recovery!”

It’s not the first time Griffin has been candid about undergoing health procedures. In 2010, Griffin received a poolside pap smear on her show, My Life on the D-List, in order to raise awareness for how important the medical procedure is for women’s health issues.

A pap smear is a medical test that professionals commonly use to help detect cervical cancer early.

“I started talking to girlfriends of mine, my age and younger, and I just can’t believe how many women are afraid to get a pap smear or they forget or they’ve gone 10 years without doing one,” Griffin explained to E! News in 2010. “The message is, if you see me doing something so outrageous — some may say repulsive — that should make it easier for you to pick up the phone and call your doctor and go get one in the privacy of your own doctor’s office.”

Last week, Amy Schumer, 44, opened up about her own experience with a colonoscopy gone awry.

“I feel happier than I’ve ever been before,” Schumer told Amanda Hirsch during the “Dear Media by Night” event for Hirsch’s “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast event. “I actually had, kind of, a botched colonoscopy, so I’m not feeling very sexual.”

Bringing Up Bates alum Warden Bates and Kaybrie Patterson have tied the knot.

In a joint point shared via Instagram on Thursday, May 28, the couple announced they have officially married just two months after debuting their romance on social media in March.

The couple announced they were engaged on May 2, while their wedding took place just days later on May 5.

Patterson, 19, explained in Thursday’s post that she and Bates, 22, were compelled to bring forward their wedding, which was originally slated for September, so that her late father could attend the nuptials before he died of Stage IV colon cancer.

Bringing Up Bates' Warden Engaged Nearly 2 Months After Debuting Courtship

“I am learning that even in the midst of sorrow, there can be joy. I don’t think I ever truly understood that until recently,” she wrote.

Patterson shared that her dad had been diagnosed with the disease three years ago and fought to survive until treatment “was no longer an option.”

“And yet, right in the middle of all that heartbreak, one of the happiest moments of my life happened. I got engaged to the love of my life, and we began planning our big wedding celebration for this September,” she wrote.

Patterson continued, “As my dad continued to decline and we were faced with the reality of hospice care, I came face to face with something I had never allowed myself to imagine. I could not picture a life where my dad was not the one to walk me down the aisle. So we decided to gather our immediate families and share a small, private ceremony together while we still could.”

Patterson shared her gratitude that she was able to include her father in her special day before his death, creating a “beautiful” memory that will last a lifetime.

“On May 5th, my dad walked me down the aisle. It was simple, emotional and beautiful in a way I will spend the rest of my life trying to find words for,” she wrote. “The next day he became unresponsive, and three days later he went home to be with the Lord.”

Just Hitched! Bringing Up Bates’ Katie Bates Marries Travis Clark: Photos

Patterson added that she and Bates plan to still hold a bigger wedding celebration in September, knowing that her dad will be looking down on them.

Bates and Patterson announced their engagement on May 2 by sharing joint proposal photos via Instagram. The post was captioned, “The easiest yes 🤍💍.”

Patterson shared more photos from the romantic moment via her Instagram Stories, writing, “I cannot wait to be your wife. I love you more than words.”

Warden is one of the 19 children of Bringing Up Bates couple Gil and Kelly Jo Bates.

Following their son’s engagement, the proud parents wrote via Instagram, “We’re beyond thrilled to see the smiles they’ve brought each other, & we’ve already all fallen in love with Kaybrie’s sweet, fun, enthusiastic personality! Couldn’t feel more blessed!”

Hayden Panettiere is throwing her support behind Paris Jackson after both women got candid about their respective addiction struggles.

Appearing on The Morning Show on Thursday, May 28, Panettiere, 36, was asked whether she related to some of the issues Paris had recently been open about dealing with.

Paris, who is the daughter of late pop star Michael Jackson, spoke about the “ugly behavior” she typically engaged in when she hit the bottle.

“The behavior is really ugly. It’s really ugly behavior in a moral way, because I was raised to be kind — and not nice,” Paris, 28, said during a Tuesday, May 26, appearance on Jack Osbourne’s “Trying Not to Die” podcast. “I could give a s**t about being nice — but being kind and looking people in the eye and asking the waiter their name so you can write it down on the receipt later, just little things of, just like, how do you treat people?”

Paris added, “What happens when I drink is that goes away. That goes right out the window and I become a very vindictive person.”

The Heroes alum praised Paris for her comments as well as the way she has navigated her personal difficulties so far.

“I actually just saw Paris and she’s an incredible person, incredibly strong. To see somebody who’s also battled addiction and made it through — she’s such a powerful, beautiful person,” Panettiere said on The Morning Show.

She added, “And you would think… I mean growing up with a family the way that she has and now that she’s you know, putting her music out there, it’s just… I’m really proud of her.”

The Nashville star has fought her own demons. In her new memoir, This Is Me: The Reckoning, Panettiere shared details of her addiction battle and her experience in rehab.

Speaking to Us Weekly to promote the book earlier this month, Panettiere explained how eight months in rehab – her third stint – helped her find herself again.

Hayden Panettiere Details Addiction Struggles, Reveals Breast Reduction

“It was time. I finally had the time to stay in treatment and let my brain re-heal and rewire itself and a lot of that is just simply time. I had never stayed in treatment that long,” she told Us. I would make these small leaps and little by little. And I remember getting to about eight months and going, ‘Oh my gosh, now I know what they mean when they say “gotten over the hump.”’”

She continued, “Even though it takes patience and you hit walls, and there’s nothing about it that’s easy, it is so worth it. There’s no drug in the world that can recreate the feeling of genuine health and happiness and contentment, being content.”

Mandy Moore got into a little mischief with Macaulay Culkin while they shot 2004 film, Saved!, together.

The actress, 42, revealed in the Wednesday, May 27 episode of Evan Ross Katz’ Netflix show, Shut Up, Evan, that she drank alcohol with Culkin, 45, despite being underage at the time.

“I do remember a little bit of underage drinking,” she said. “As it happened, I was like, ‘Look, I didn’t go to high school.’ I was 18.”

The teen comedy was filmed in Canada’s British Columbia, where the legal drinking age is 19.

Culkin was older than many of the teen actors in the Saved! cast, which also included Jena Malone and Eva Amurri, and was legally able to drink.

“I think it was Mac, Macaulay, that introduced me and all of us to a White Russian,” Moore recalled. “I was like, ‘Milk and alcohol? This is made for me, I love this! This is like ice cream, this is fantastic!’”

During the chat, Moore noted that although a lot of the cast members were young, they didn’t cause too much trouble together.

“I distinctly remember the sweet, innocent — like, we would take giant marshmallows and throw them at people off the balcony,” she said. “We were kids! We weren’t really getting up to no good.”

Reflecting on the memories forged on-set with her costars, Moore praised the filming experience and the movie’s storyline.

“It was a crazy, crazy life-changing experience,” she said.

In Saved!, Moore played Hilary Faye, the best friend of the film’s main character, Mary (portrayed by Malone). Mary tries to “save” her boyfriend from being gay, only to become pregnant along the way.

“I just loved the script and the character, and I thought it was really irreverent and funny, and also like gonna move the needle. But it also felt so wholly different than who I am that I was like, ‘Oh this is a stretch, and this is unlike anything I’ve done before. So hopefully, very intentionally, this’ll open up a door to other projects,’ like people regarding me in a different light,” Moore added.

Milo Ventimiglia Says He Was the 1st Person to Ever Swear at Mandy Moore

In June 2024, the This Is Us alum shared similar sentiments about what it was like working on the movie during an interview with People.

“I’m bombarded with memories of set. We all were staying at the same hotel together while we were shooting, and I just remember all the time we would spend with each other in one another’s rooms. Like, ‘Okay, we’re all going to Jena’s room today.’ Or, ‘Oh, we’re all going to Eva’s room today, or Mac’s room,’ and we made dinners or we ordered food and we just hung out,” she told the outlet.

The actress added, “It was like we were all 17, 18 years old, maybe some of us were a little bit older, but it was such a fun summer camp experience. And we knew that it was a really weird, special, little tiny thing. It wasn’t lost on us what we were doing.”

Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star Angelina Pivarnick broke down in tears as she opened up about her heartbreaking pregnancy loss.

In the Thursday, June 4, episode of the reality TV show, Angelina, 39, became emotional as she told her friend Dana Lasalla that she had suffered a miscarriage.

When Dana asked Angelina how her recent doctor’s appointment went amid her pregnancy journey, the Jersey Shore star replied, “It’s not good.”

“I woke up in the middle of night, 4 o’clock in the morning. I didn’t feel good at all. I was very dizzy,” Angelina shared in a confessional. “I went to the bathroom. I was bleeding. I was like, ‘What the …’”

Angelina explained that she then “went to the doctor’s” before trailing off and shaking her head and adding sadly, “Yeah.”

Dana tried to support Angelina as she became emotional and cried while struggling with her devastation over the loss.

“I can’t believe this happened. I feel so bad. No woman should ever have to go through this, it’s horrible,” Dana told her. Angelina agreed, sharing, “It kills me, dude.”

In a confessional, Angelina shared more details about why the loss came as such a brutal blow for her.

“I just really wanted a family so bad because I don’t have my own,” she said. “I can’t build a family with a family that’s broken. I have to build my own f***ing family.”

Wiping tears from her eyes, Angelina continued, “I wasn’t able to do that. So that’s what’s upsetting to me.” She concluded, “It just sucks, all this.”

Last month, a promotional clip teasing Thursday’s episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation revealed that Angelina has suffered a pregnancy loss.

Jersey Shore's Angelina Pivarnick Announces Pregnancy

“I woke up in the middle of the night,” she said in the short clip. “I’m actively miscarrying.”

Angelina revealed she was pregnant in the show’s May 14 episode, in which she was filmed showing Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola a positive test.

“There’s no way that it just happened naturally. There’s no sperm donor now,” a shocked Angelina said at the time, referencing her fertility struggles, which have been a story line throughout the season.

Angelina further opened up about her surprise and excitement in a confessional during the episode.

“I did not think I was able to get pregnant, but, wow, I’m … pregnant,” she said. “This could be a great thing. This could be my fairy tale, my path, my baby.”

President Donald Trump isn’t mourning the end of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.

A day after the final episode of the late night talk show aired, Trump, 79, responded to its end by sharing an AI-generated video of himself and Colbert, 62, via X.

In the video shared on Friday, May 22, an AI version of Trump approached an AI version of Colbert on The Late Show and grabbed him by the shoulders. Trump then picked up Colbert and threw him in an on-stage dumpster. Trump closed the dumpster’s lid with Colbert inside, then smirked and began dancing.

The AI footage was also posted via the official White House account on X, with the accompanying caption reading, “Bye-bye 👋.”

Stephen Colbert Responds to Trump Celebrating 'The Late Show' Cancellation

Trump also took to social media platform, Truth Social, on Friday to comment on The Late Show’s demise.

“Stephen Colbert’s firing from CBS was the ‘Beginning of the End’ for untalented, nasty, highly overpaid, not funny, and very poorly rated Late Night Television Hosts,” Trump wrote. “Others, of even less talent, to soon follow. May they all Rest in Peace!”

Colbert’s final episode aired on Thursday, May 21, almost a year after CBS announced in July 2025 that the show was being axed.

The move caused instant backlash from viewers at the time due to its popularity and the perception that the decision may have been due to Colbert’s political comments.

Network executives then released a statement defending their call to pull the plug on the show. The statement insisted the decision was not “related in any way to the show’s performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount” and claimed it was  due to financial reasons.

Critics raised eyebrows over the timing of the show’s cancellation, which came after an episode in which Colbert spoke out about Paramount, CBS’ parent company, settling what he called “a nuisance lawsuit” brought by Trump. In his lawsuit, the president alleged that 60 Minutes had unfairly edited an interview of Kamala Harris.

Why Is Stephen Colbert’s ‘The Late Show’ Ending? Cancellation Explained

“I do not dispute their rationale [that it was for financial reasons],” Colbert told The New York Times in April when asked about viewers who are questioning the reason for his late night talk show coming to an end. “I do make jokes about it.”

He added, “But I also completely understand why people would say (A) that doesn’t make sense to me and (B) that seems fishy to me,” he noted. “Because the network did it to themselves by bending the knee to the Trump administration over a $20 billion, settled for $16 million, completely frivolous lawsuit.”

Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky’s recent family travel plans didn’t go as smoothly as hoped.

Speaking to Harper’s Bazaar Arabia for a video shared via Instagram on Tuesday, June 2, Hemsworth, 42, and Pataky, 49, opened up about an airport mishap.

“I actually went to the airport once and I had my daughter’s passport instead of my son’s passport,” Hemsworth, who shares daughter India Rose, 14, and 12-year-old twin boys Sasha and Tristan with Pataky, said.

Pataky added, “He couldn’t fly.”

Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky’s Sweetest Family Moments With Their Kids

Attempting to salvage the situation, Hemsworth explained that he tried to convince security that the passport was the correct one so he could sneak his son on board without the required documents.

“They kind of look the same,” the Thor star joked as he recalled trying to convince airport authorities that one of his sons was pictured in the passport. Pataky chimed in, “They don’t.”

“I said, ‘This is her,’” the actor recalled, adding that the security agent remained unconvinced and responded, “That’s a boy.”

Hemsworth concluded, “So, yeah, that didn’t work.”

After starting a family with Pataky, whom he wed in 2010, the Home and Away alum has been candid about how fatherhood has changed his life.

Speaking to The Father Hood in 2019, Hemsworth said having kids made him think twice about the acting roles he takes on.

“It’s all about you before kids,” he told the outlet. “And then you have children and you still try to hang onto that, you say ‘I am who I am’. And then it goes out the window. A lot of my decisions now are based on how things are going to affect the family. What’s the location the film shoots in?”

He further explained, “If it’s some obscure, not so attractive place, do I want to drag the family there for four months? And then there’s the question of what the role’s going to do to me? Is it going to put my head in a space that’s pretty consuming? There are times [a role comes up] when I say, maybe not that one yet.”

Chris Hemsworth, Elsa Pataky Are 'Closer Than Ever' After Hardships

Hemsworth has also emphasized the importance of making sure his kids get to enjoy their childhood before potentially following in the footsteps of their famous parents.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight in 2023 about his daughter India’s interest in acting after starring as Gorr’s daughter in the 2022 film, Thor: Love and Thunder, Hemsworth said he wanted her to delay her ambitions until she’s older.

“I want her to have a childhood, and I think so does she,” Hemsworth said. “There’s plenty of time, sweetie. Go to school, horse ride, have fun, be a kid.”

Jersey Shore: Family Vacation’s Angelina Pivarnick has revealed she suffered a miscarriage after announcing her pregnancy news on the show.

The reality TV star, 39, discussed the sad update on her fertility journey during the Thursday, May 28, episode as well as confirming the miscarriage in a teaser for next week’s episode.

“I’m just not feeling myself. Some stuff’s happening with me and my pregnancy and I don’t know what’s going on and I don’t even know what to do,” Angelina said in a confessional, as she spoke about her concerns on Thursday’s episode.

Angelina Pivarnick Almost Just Nearly Quit 'Jersey Shore Family Vacation'

Angelina visited her costar, Sammi Giancola, who was also pregnant at the time, and shared her fears.

“I’m spotting,” Angelina told Sammi. “I’m wearing a pad right now.”

Angelina’s comment worried Sammi, who had previously endured a pregnancy loss during her own fertility journey.

“I’m going to be honest with you, when I miscarried – like a chemical pregnancy – I was spotting right away, and then it, like, just, it happened,” Sammi, 39, said.

She continued, “So to me, I’m getting a little concerned for you. I don’t want to think the worst but for your own peace of mind, go to the ER and just check. They can see what’s going on.”

In another confessional, Angelina admitted she was “definitely scared about what I might find out.”

A promotional clip teasing next week’s episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation confirmed Angelina’s worst fears.

“I woke up in the middle of the night,” she said in the short clip. “I’m actively miscarrying.”

Angelina first shared the news of her pregnancy in the May 14 episode, where she was filmed showing Sammi a positive pregnancy test.

“There’s no way that it just happened naturally. There’s no sperm donor now,” said Angelina at the time, referencing her fertility struggles that have been at the center of her storyline this season.

Angelina Pivarnick Won't Watch 'Dark' New ‘Jersey Shore’ Episodes

Angelina further opened up about her surprise and excitement in a confessional during the episode.

“I did not think I was able to get pregnant, but, wow, I’m … pregnant,” she said. “This could be a great thing. This could be my fairy tale, my path, my baby.”

During the episode, she called the father, who was referred to as “John Doe-Nor” (a play on “donor”) to inform him of her pregnancy.

“So, I have some news for you,” she told him over the phone. “I am officially, definitely pregnant — we’re having a baby!”

The same night the show aired, Angelina wrote, “I’m pregnant !!!! #jsfamilyvacation.” She did not share any further updates via social media after the episode was filmed in March 2025.

Katie Bates admits she felt betrayed by silence after opening up about a “painful” childhood incident.

Posting via her Instagram Story on Friday, May 22, Bates, 25, shared more of her feelings as she faces ongoing family tension due to the undisclosed past event.

Bates said she was posting “to clarify what I meant when I said I lost about 90% of my family relationships” in her previous post.

“After choosing to address painful things from my childhood, I quickly learned that not everyone responds to honesty and healing with support. Some people choose silence!! Some choose distance. Some choose to minimize or avoid uncomfortable truths altogether,” she wrote via the Instagram Story. “But when someone has been repeatedly harmed, staying silent or distancing yourself despite knowing the truth can become its own form of betrayal. Neutrality doesn’t always equal innocence and it certainly doesn’t equal support!”

Katie Bates Says She 'Lost' Family Relationships After Childhood Incident

Bates concluded, “I stayed silent for a long time and I’m not doing that anymore.”

The Growing Up Bates alum revealed on Wednesday, May 20, that she made the choice to leave Tennessee amid family strain.

“A lot of people are confused by my decision to leave Tennessee, especially because from the outside it may look like I have a big support system here. The truth is, sometimes things happening behind closed doors are a lot more complicated and painful than what people see publicly,” wrote via her Instagram Story at the time.

She continued, “Recently I chose to address something that happened throughout my childhood that I wish I had the strength to address years ago. Unfortunately after doing so I lost relationships with about 90 percent of my family. This has been incredibly heartbreaking and heavy to walk through. I’m not going to share details online, but I’m also done pretending everything is OK just to protect appearances.”

Bates added that she decided that remaining in Tennessee would not be in her best interests, explaining she felt it was “no longer healthy” for her.

Instead, she is embarking on a fresh start alongside her husband Travis Clark and their two children. (The couple married in 2023 and were embroiled in a cheating scandal in January when Clark, 24, admitted to having an affair.)

“I’m choosing to move forward, finally heal and build a peaceful life for myself and my children,” she wrote. “More than anything, I’m desperately leaning on God right now even when things feel painful, confusing and lonely. I don’t have every answer right now, but I believe God can bring healing and peace out of even the hardest situations.”
