Kristen and Luke Reveal a Major Twist in Their Living Situation: "Here We Go…" (EXCLUSIVE)
Luke revealed the change in his and Kristen's living situation plans after showing off fresh updates to their new rental home on The Valley Season 2, Episode 6.
"Personally, I'd like to stay in this house until we buy our forever home. That's my goal," the podcast co-host said on The Valley After Show. "We're not 100 percent on the same page because there are days that Kristen hates the house we're in. But it's becoming our space. I'd like to be there until we're talking about school for our daughter."

How Kristen & Luke Are Prepping Their Baby's Nursery Before Her Due Date (EXCLUSIVE)
Kristen Doute Shares an Emotional Health Update Six Weeks Before Her Due Date: "I Don't Know..."
As for where he envisions their "forever home" being located, Luke joked, "I hope a long ways from here," prompting castmate Danny Booko to suggest they, instead, consider relocating to — where else — but Santa Clarita, where he and Nia Sanchez Booko just closed on a new home. Luke replied that if he and Kristen were to purchase a house "any where in this area," it actually would be "up by" the Bookos.
Separately, Kristen chimed in to confirm that Luke had "suddenly" been talking about relocating to the Santa Clarita area — again, if they buy a house in California. She also floated a theory as to why her fiancé had warmed to the idea of remaining in the L.A. area, despite him looking for homes in other faraway cities such as Nashville.

"I think as long as he knows that I'm willing to, like, get out of here, for periods of time, whether it's to go to Colorado for a month or a few weeks there and not just these little weekend trips and we're stuck in this house, then we've made it," she explained to Nia, who also tried to sell her on the idea, touting the area's great schools and abundance of chain restaurants.
Plus, one of Luke's "closest friends" there was also planning to buy a house in Santa Clarita. Kristen added, "I was like, here we go. Here we go."
In The Valley's May 20 episode, Kristen shared that she and Luke were "so excited to be moving into this beautiful house," which came complete with a swimming pool and three bedrooms. Though she had planned to reserve one as a guest room for visiting family and friends, the James Mae T-shirt designer hoped, at the time, she'd get the opportunity to turn the third bedroom into a nursery — which they've since done, of course.
"But Luke and I are only renting this house," she cautioned. "We're still unsure of where we even want to lay our roots permanently."
As Luke put it in a confessional, though, "This house is the first step in my big plan for our future."

Having already revealed his proposal plan to Danny, Luke took his friend with him to shop for Kristen's engagement ring in the episode, which was filmed in summer 2024. When pressed about an engagement timeline, Luke divulged, "The only thing I know for sure is I plan this year, at some point this year."
As the Season 2 trailer already gave away, Luke will be popping the question on The Valley in the not-so-distant future. While revealing to a producer when he knew she was "the one," he gushed, "Kristen is the love of my life, and this ring is gonna show that."

Rare Luke Skywalker toy expected to sell for six figures
In the world of collectible action figures, it's tough to beat the 1978 Kenner Luke Skywalker. Arguably the most recognizable toy of its era, the Skywalker has long been among the most coveted among collectors, and considered the 'holy grail' of production action figures. The rocket-firing Boba Fett, which made headlines last year when one sold for an eye-catching $1.34 million, is a prototype and thus considered in a separate category. What might be the single-finest and most significant example of a Skywalker figure in the world, graded AFA 90 (one of two at the grade with none higher), with a double telescoping lightsaber, is currently at auction at LCG and is expected to rake in $100,000 to $200,000. The double telescoping designation signifies the figure was released prior to the modification of the lightsaber early on in production to release cost and streamline production — making it the rarest of rare for the popular figure. RELATED STORY: Searching for Skywalker: The quest for a signed Luke rookie card The other AFA 90 example of a DT Skywalker sold for $100,251 in 2022, setting a record at the time for the most expensive production figure ever sold. That record has since been eclipsed by a DT Darth Vader which fetched $130,095 earlier this year. LCG writes in its auction description that, between the offered figure and the other which they sold in 2022, this reigns supreme thanks to various condition factors in addition to a fully extended saber visible within the package. 'This anomaly is unexplained, and we could only find one other example of this feature in the online auction archives made public by the major auction houses (our search included all three characters featuring DT saber: Luke, Vader, Ben Kenobi),' writes LCG in its lot description. The current bid is $24,200 with 11 days remaining at auction. Will Stern is a reporter and editor for cllct, the premier company for collectible culture.

Kelley Mack, who starred in 'The Walking Dead' and '9-1-1,' dies at 33. What is a glioma and who is at risk of the rare cancer?
Co-stars, directors and other people in the entertainment world offered their condolences to the late actress. Kelley Mack, an actress known for her work on popular TV shows like The Walking Dead, 9-1-1 and Chicago Med, has died at 33. The American-born star died in her hometown of Cincinnati over the weekend, according to her family, on Saturday, Aug. 2. "It is with indelible sadness that we are announcing the passing of our dear Kelley," reads a statement from her sister, Kathryn Klebenow, posted on Tuesday, Aug 5. "Such a bright, fervent light has transitioned to the beyond, where we all eventually must go. "Kelley passed peacefully on Saturday evening with her loving mother Kristen and steadfast aunt Karen present. Kelley has already come to many of her loved ones in the form of various butterflies.

Kathryn shared a longer obituary online, noting her sister — whose real name is Kelley Lynne Klebenow — grew up in various states in addition to Ohio, including Missouri, Connecticut, North Carolina and Illinois. However, she lived and worked in the Los Angeles area for the past 11 years, and earned 35 actress and five producer credits within her career. "She is survived by her mother and father, Kristen and Lindsay Klebenow, sister Kathryn, brother Parker, grandmother and grandfather Lois and Larry Klebenow and her dearest boyfriend, Logan Lanier," the statement added. On Instagram, people she worked with on various sets chimed in to share their condolences. Kathryn added in the post's caption that Kelley "would want you all to know how much she loves you." "What an incredible human. So proud to have fought alongside her in our final episode together," wrote The Walking Dead actress Alanna Masterson, who plays Tara Chambler in the series. "I was lucky enough to create with Kelley on TWD. A bright light on every level. All my love to those who love her," added director Michael Satrazemis. "A true talent and lovely, lovely soul. May you rest in peace and keep shining through all the hearts you touched," penned Jessy Schram, who plays Dr. Hannah Asher in Chicago Med. Mack died after battling a glioma of the central nervous system, according to the statement from her sister. But what exactly does that mean and is it a common health condition? Read on to learn more. What is a glioma? According to the Cleveland Clinic, a glioma is a tumour that often forms in the brain but can sometimes begin in the spinal cord. They're formed when glial cells — non-neuronal cells in the nervous system that provide support and protection for neurons — grow out of control. These tumours are malignant, but can sometimes be very slow growing. However, they typically don't spread outside of the brain or spine, but can become life-threatening when they're hard to reach or treat with surgery, or if they grow into other parts of the brain. What are the different types of gliomas? There are three main types of glioma, which are grouped by the type of glial cell they grow in. Sometimes, they can contain multiple cells, in which cased they're called mixed gliomas. The types include: Astrocytomas: These start in star-shaped glial cells called astrocytes and are the most common malignant brain tumour in adults. This category includes glioblastomas, which account for 24 per cent of brain tumours Ependymomas: These start in ependymocytes, which are cells of the ependyma. This type of glioma accounts for two per cent of all brain tumours, and are more common in kids than adults. Oligodendrogliomas: This rare tumour starts in oligodendrocytes, and tend to grow slowly but become more aggressive over time. They account for one to two per cent of all brain tumours, and are more common in adults than children. Mack announced earlier in January that she was diagnosed with a diffuse midline glioma, which is an extremely rare type of an astrocytoma. "Due to the biopsy surgery on my spinal cord, I have lost the use of my right leg and most of my left leg, so I now get around with a walker and a wheelchair," she wrote in an Instagram post at the time. In the health update, she noted that she had experienced persistent lower back pain for about a month after moving into a new apartment with her boyfriend last September. She thought she "slipped a disc" or had a herniated disc in her back, until she had neuropathic itching in her right quad. "Then, the shooting pains in my legs and back began, which resulted in me having to sleep in a recliner for a month because laying down was too painful," she continued, explaining later had emergency MRIs completed, which showed an abnormal mass in her spinal cord. According to the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada, diffuse midline gliomas are "generally high-grade tumours that infiltrate through the entire substance of the brain stem." They most often occur in children, but can appear in adults as well. What are the symptoms of a glioma? The Cleveland Clinic notes the symptoms of a glioma may include: Problems speaking and communicating, or aphasia Vision changes or loss Cognitive problems, like trouble thinking or memory issues Walking or balance problems Dizziness Headaches Weakness or numbness on one side of the body Nausea and vomiting Personality or behavioural changes Seizures For diffuse midline gliomas, the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada adds that difficulty swallowing, double vision and facial weakness are some common symptoms on top of those mentioned above. What causes a glioma? Health-care providers aren't exactly sure what causes a glioma, according to Mayo Clinic. But research suggests changes, or mutations, in DNA can lead to the development of brain and spinal cord tumours, including gliomas. The Cleveland Clinic notes it's possible to inherit mutations from your parents, but they can also occur randomly in one's lifetime. When it comes to astrocytomas like the one Mack had, the majority develop randomly, with radiation exposure and genetics being the only known risk factors. What are the risk factors for a glioma? While it remains uncertain what causes a glioma, some of the following can increase your risk factor: Aging: Getting older can increase your risk of a glioma, with most occurring in adults between ages 45 and 65. Radiation exposure: People who have been exposed to ionizing radiation, including radiation therapy, have an increased risk of gliomas. Genetics: While rare, having a family history of gliomas can increase your risk. How is a glioma treated? Gliomas are often initially treated with surgery. But if the glioma grows into an important part of the brain or if it can't be reached, surgery might not be an option. In that case, other treatments like radiation therapy and chemotherapy may be offered. To control symptoms, you may also be offered various medicines. These may include medications to control seizures, reduce swelling, help with memory issues and improve alertness if you're fatigued. The Cleveland Clinic notes there are four grades of astrocytomas, with grade one being curable using surgery and grade two being rarely curable. For grade three and grade four (glioblastomas), there is no cure. Is a glioma deadly? The Canadian Cancer Society notes that survival statistics for brain and spinal cord tumours cannot be used to predict a person's survival chances, since these are very general estimates. Survival rates for brain tumours will vary widely, depending on the tumour type, grade and location in the brain. But in general: Low-grade tumours have a better prognosis that high-grade tumours People under age 65 have a better prognosis Tumours that can be surgically removed have a better prognosis Tumours that grow into parts of the brain where it can't be removed by surgery come with lower survival rates For astrocytomas, the Canadian Cancer Society's most recent data includes patients diagnosed and treated between 1973 and 2004, meaning survival rates may have risen since then. But out of that data, the median survival rates for each grade of astrocytoma include: Grade 1: A greater than 90 per cent five-year survival rate Grade 2: Five to seven years Grade 3: Two to three years Grade 4 (glioblastoma): 12 to 14 months
