Yaya Mayweather Responds to Rumor That She and NBA YoungBoy Are Expecting Another Child
Yaya Mayweather is clearing the air amid rumors that she and YoungBoy Never Broke Again are expecting. The 25-year-old took to her Instagram Story, writing, 'Idk where y'all getting this from but I'm not pregnant.' The note on her Story was preceded by a clip of her and NBA cuddling. She also wrote a lengthy note to him. COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what's next. Buy. Collect. Obsess. 'I am so proud of you and everything you've been doing," she wrote. "No matter what keep going your strength and determination inspire me every day. i love you more than words could ever explain, and no matter how far away you go in the world i'll always be here for you, cheering you on. you're never alone.' At least some of the speculation about Yaya being pregnant, may have come from YoungBoy's new song, 'This Month Confessions,' which appears on his latest album, Deshawn. The pair share a son, Kentrell Jr., born in January 2021, so it's not completely far-fetched that NBA could have impregnated Mayweather again. YoungBoy is married and reportedly expecting his third baby with wife Jazlyn Mychelle, his 13th child overall. The couple welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Alice Nora, in 2021, and in 2022, they welcomed their son, Klemenza. They later got married in 2023.

Kate Gosselin shuts down rumors she's not in touch with daughter Hannah
Kate Gosselin is shutting down rumors that she doesn't have a relationship with her daughter Hannah. In a TikTok video posted on Thursday, August 14, the 50-year-old former reality star updated her followers on the status of her Amazon list, when she mentioned Hannah, 21, was the one to help her set it up. "Hannah just called me and helped me get an Amazon list together of all the things that I mentioned and people keep asking me for, so guess what? It's on my TikTok profile now," Kate said in the video. "I know! I'm really excited because I was asking her for help. She's really good." Fans in the comments section were surprised to hear she and Hannah were in contact with one another, as Hannah has been living with her father, Jon Gosselin, since 2018. After one fan commented that they "didn't even know Hanna [sic] still spoke to you," Kate replied, "Yep! Always has! Don't believe what you hear out there, constantly being shoved down your throat 😘." Hannah was featured on the hit TLC reality show, "Jon & Kate Plus 8," along with her parents, older sisters, twins Mady and Cara, 24, and fellow sextuplets, Collin, Joel, Aeden, Alexis and Leah. During the second season of the show, Kate and Jon went through a public divorce, after which Kate was granted full custody of all eight children. In 2018, it was revealed both Hannah and Collin had moved in with their father, but that he had little to no contact with the rest of his kids. Hannah told Teen Vogue in May that "it's hard" to watch episodes of their reality show and see her parents' relationship deteriorate on camera. "[Filming] made my siblings and I closer to each other, even though it made my parents further from each other," she admitted, also acknowledging, "It's hard to go back and watch my parents argue." Since moving in with his father, Collin has accused his mother of abuse. He was allegedly diagnosed with a behavioral disorder and sent away to a separate school in Philadelphia at the age of 12. At the time, Kate explained on an episode of "Kate Plus 8," "I was not able, with my own resources here, to meet his needs." Collin later spoke with The Sun, in September 2024, when he accused his mother of being "physically aggressive and verbally very abusive." After he made the statements, Kate's lawyer told Fox News Digital "she never wants to comment because she always knows that this gets taken out of context. She doesn't want to comment. Doesn't need to. The record speaks for itself." He added, "The facts belie the truth. Whatever took place, the ones that are truthful are the ones that took place… She has no comment because it's not going to change the past. And I don't believe she intentionally harmed any of her children in any way, shape or form." Earlier this month, Collin took to TikTok to share a photo of him with his siblings, writing that they were "forced apart, pitted against each other," and although they were "born to be a team," they have been "forced to do it alone, and wonder every day what our lives could've looked like." In the comments section of one of her TikTok videos, a fan shared a screenshot of Collin's post, to which Kate responded, "He knows why..," along with a crying face emoji.

Sharon Stone confirms unexpected celebrity dating rumor with Grammy winner
Sharon Stone divulged a few secrets about her love life. Stone, 57, was in the hot seat during a recent guest appearance on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen" with her "Nobody 2" co-star Bob Odenkirk. Cohen asked the "Basic Instinct" actress to clear up rumors surrounding her past relationships, including hear-say that Stone dated Grammy-award-winning rapper Nelly. "I mean ... this is crazy enough that I actually might believe it," Cohen said before agreeing with Odenkirk who chimed in, "I'm gonna say yeah." "Sharon, did you go on a date with Nelly?" the Bravo patriarch asked, to which Stone said, "Yes, I did." Love was not on the line for the pair, though, and Stone admitted she only went on one date with the "Country Grammar" artist. Stone was previously married to Michael Greenburg from 1984-87, and then married Phil Bronstein in 1998. Their relationship ended in 2004. The "Casino" star adopted her first son, Roan, 25, with Bronstein. She then adopted Laird, 20, in 2005, followed by son Quinn, 19, the following year. Stone reflected on a more difficult time in her life during an interview with Today. The actress confessed that her family took priority after she experienced a medical scare which nearly cost her life. In September 2001, Stone suffered a stroke and doctors thought she might not live. She had a cerebral hemorrhage that lasted nine days. "I have been a person who's been blessed to have ... I had a very big career at one point," Stone told the outlet. "In the '90s, I think it would be fair to say I pretty much owned the '90s as an actress. "I stopped when I had a stroke. I had a massive, massive stroke and nearly died. So, I couldn't work. When I reconsidered what value things had to me in life." Stone added, "I really wanted to have children and spend my time with them and I only really worked as much as I needed to support my family, but now my children have left the nest, and now I'm back to work." She previously told The Hollywood Reporter that she suffered extreme financial strain after suffering the stroke. "I had $18 million saved because of all my success, but when I got back into my bank account, it was all gone," said Stone, who revealed people took "advantage" of her in her weakest moments because they "thought [she] was going to die." "My refrigerator, my phone – everything was in other people's names. I had zero money." Despite the major setback, Stone said she chose to move forward. "I decided to stay present and let go," she said. "I decided not to hang onto being sick or to any bitterness or anger. If you bite into the seed of bitterness, it never leaves you. But if you hold faith, even if that faith is the size of a mustard seed, you will survive." "So, I live for joy now," she added. "I live for purpose."
