Chrishell Stause reveals side effect of trying to conceive via IVF: 'I'm still bleeding...'
Chrishell Stause and G Flip are "actively trying" to conceive a baby via IVF.
The 43-year-old reality star tied the knot with singer G-Flip - whose real name is Georgia Claire Flipo - in 2022 and revealed that she was "literally still bleeding" after having to do an injection amid her IVF treatment.
She told UsWeekly: "I'm literally still bleeding from a shot I had to just give myself. So, yes, we are actively trying."
The 'Selling Sunset' star - who was initially married to former 'This Is Us' actor Justin Hartley and then had a high-profile romance with her Netflix co-star Jason Oppenheim - explained that what makes her current marriage "special" is that they just have an understanding of reach other, and described G Flip as her "favorite human being" in the world.
She said: 'I think what makes it special is that we just really meet each other where we are, and it's a really beautiful thing.
"We celebrate every part of each other, whether it's the parts a lot of people like or the weird, funny, silly, unique parts, us being nerds to each other. I just feel like it's just really exciting anytime she's in the room and vice versa, just because they're my favorite human being."
Chrishell and her wife are also looking to adopt, and just days ago she shared an update after spending time with her niece.
She wrote on Instagram: "Spent time with our perfect niece, (no she is not ours, but we are obsessed with her. But the way the comments have slowly changed to positive feedback on this topic is VERY nice to see especially in todays climate. THANK YOU.
"We are working on [adoption]. It's a process but will all be worth it[ heart emoji] Sending love right back to you-thank you."
The former 'All My Children' actress previously admitted that it had been a "bumpy road" so far and she wanted to keep most of the details away from the public.
She said: "Well, it's been a bumpy road. We've kept the details a little under wraps, just because I don't think it helps anybody to go into all the details.
'But I'll just say to anyone that understands this [adoption] process — there are just a lot of different roadblocks, and so we do feel like we're on the upswing."

The Karate Kid is back, and this time with Legends. But is it any good?
Karate Kid: Legends ★★★ There were two moments during the packed preview screening I attended of the latest Karate Kid offering when the audience erupted in cheers and applause, and each was a moment that Blind Freddy could have seen coming. And despite every cynical impulse in my body (and there are many), I was swept along a little too. This is the absolute definition of a crowd-pleaser. Packed full of fan service, cameos and nods to tradition – both within the film franchise and more broadly within families, cultures and martial arts – Karate Kid: Legends offers little by way of innovation and plenty by way of giving the people what they want. It's derivative, corny and, in its utterly predictable way, great fun. If you've seen the original The Karate Kid (1984), or indeed the Netflix spin-off series Cobra Kai that ran for six seasons from 2018, you've got the idea. Kid turns up in a new town, having sworn off the martial art he used to practise. A gang of bullies take a dislike to him, and beat him up. His single mum is busy working, so doesn't really notice how much trouble he's getting into. His only ally is a cute girl, who used to go out with the lead bully, who naturally wants to smash the new kid even harder because he's jealous. The new kid's only hope for escape from this vicious cycle is to win a local tournament, where he'll get to beat said bully in the ring. But to do that he'll need the help of a gifted sensei, who will teach him The Way. Wax on, wax off. Yada yada. Here, the kid is Li Fong (Ben Wang), who moves with his medico mother from Beijing to New York. Back home, he'd been tutored by his uncle, Mr Han (Jackie Chan). In New York, he himself becomes tutor to the pizza-shop-owning father of his sort-of girlfriend Mia (Sadie Stanley). It's an improbable move, but at least it gives Joshua Jackson (of long-ago Dawson's Creek fame) a chance to display his considerable charm and reasonably convincing chops as a boxer. Inevitably, the kid is himself drawn back to the ring, to compete in the Five Boroughs karate tournament. The thing is, he's only studied kung-fu up to this point. Enter Mr Han, who takes it upon himself to fly to LA and persuade Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) to hop on a plane and help train the kid in the way of Mr Miyagi. And then … Well, as Morrissey sang, stop me if you think that you've heard this one before (and trust me, you have).

Leah Remini claims Church of Scientology wanted to murder her
Leah Remini claims the Church of Scientology wanted to murder her. The 'King of Queens' actress, 54, joined the group aged 13 when her mother became a member, and described the organisation's control over every aspect of her life in a candid new interview about the impact it has had on her and her family's lives. She spoke to UsWeekly about her ongoing trauma about extracting herself from the church after filing a civil harassment lawsuit against the Church of Scientology in 2023, alleging it orchestrated a campaign of stalking and intimidation against her and her 20-year-old daughter Sofia – with a trial scheduled for October. Leah's efforts to expose the Church's practices began with her 2015 memoir, 'Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology', and continued with the Emmy-winning docuseries 'Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath'. She added: 'They harass my underage daughter online. They've (used) a Scientology term that means to kill me (and) basically to erase me from the face of the earth. –When you talk to a lawyer, they say, 'It's going to cost you more to defend yourself than to pay them off'. 'And Scientology knows that.' A representative for the Church told UsWeekly: 'All allegations of harassment, break-ins and other salacious alleged conduct are false.' Leah added about her time in the Church: 'We (had) to report to our ethics departments – the Scientology police — and that's an everyday activity. 'Once your parents become Scientologists, they're no longer your parents.' Her break from the Church came after she was ordered to cut ties with her mother and stepfather for allegedly violating Scientology policy. She said: 'That's when I found the Brooklyn girl in me.' Leah credits the late Mike Rinder – a former high-ranking Scientologist who left in 2007 – with helping her escape. She said: 'Mike was the first person I called when I was thinking of leaving. That alone was a high crime in Scientology. 'He was so comforting.' Leah said the Church continues to harass Sofia online, and that the pressure has taken a toll. The actress added: 'She's constantly petrified that her phone is being tapped. 'I had to get her help for that, and she's OK; we got through a rough patch.'
