Sutton Stracke Reveals Updates on Her Lookalike Daughter, Porter, Amid Her Law School Career
Over the years, the Southern debutante hasn't shied away from posting pics of her oldest child on social media. The resemblance between mother and her only daughter is uncanny, as delightfully seen in the diamond-holder's throwback photos of her younger self from 'back in the day.'
In May 2020, Sutton gave 'Sunday Vibes' in a throwback photo from her days in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The Georgia-raised mother of three referenced 'hippie days from long ago' in a snap of a darker-haired version of herself, smiling away from the camera in a white summer dress. Given how much she looks like her brunette daughter, a double-take was unavoidable.
Professional side-by-side portraits in black and white to celebrate National Daughter's Day in September 2022 proved Sutton and Porter could be mistaken for sisters, from the parts in their hair to their matching sweetheart necklines. "Like mother, like daughter, only she is more improved!!!" Sutton captioned the post.

The proud-as-punch Georgian shared a couple more photos of Porter for the occasion. In case we need to name 'em, in one, Porter basked in the sunshine with a cool pair of shades and an oversized hat, and in another, she was all smiles in a colorful cotton dress for what looked like a special occasion.
Sutton Stracke shares a birthday tribute for her daughter, Porter
More recently, in May 2025, Sutton wished a happy birthday to her 'favorite girl in the whole world' along with a reel of fun family photos, including one with Sutton's own mother, Reba Brown. She shared flashback shots of Porter and her younger brothers, James and Philip Stracke, all of whom Sutton shares with her ex-husband, Christian Stracke.
Some snaps featured the blue-eyed Porter as a baby in her mother's arms, or dressed to the nines next to her glammed-up mom.
Longtime friend Jennifer Tilly also couldn't contain her excitement when she wished Porter a special day with a teary-eyed emoji. Sutton's birthday gesture even had The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City's Meredith Marks comment with a red heart emoji.

What is Sutton Stracke's daughter, Porter Stracke, doing today?
In May of last year, Sutton proudly announced that Porter graduated from the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia where she majored in History and French. 'Final Graduation Day! We love our Porter and so proud of this Cum Laude graduate now Law School bound,' Sutton posted on Instagram.
And, upon Porter's college graduation, Kyle commented to Sutton and her daughter, 'You two are twins!'
Porter's LinkedIn profile shows she is currently enrolled in Brooklyn Law School in New York City. People reports she's set to graduate in 2027. Porter's accomplishments seem mirrored in Sutton's caption on her recent birthday message, in which she added, "My pride and love abound!"

Stephen A. Smith hits back at Michelle Obama, 'still ... salty' at her Trump vote comments
Stephen A. Smith has hit back at Michelle Obama. The former First Lady took a jab at Smith's employer, ESPN, name-dropping the longtime host and saying the network's shows were like watching reality television, namely "The Real Housewives of Atlanta." "It's all a sociological study. They think that sports is better reality TV, I'm like, 'It's the same thing.' If I listen to ESPN for an hour, it's like watching the 'Real Housewives of Atlanta,' you know?" Obama said on her brother Craig's "IMO" podcast. "It's the same drama, and they're yelling at each other, and they don't get along, you know? I mean, Stephen A. Smith, he's just like every other. . . . "So, that's why I'm like, 'what's the difference?' It's just, you know, it's just sociological drama," added Obama. "I mean, the fact that people over seasons of working still can't get along. They still have the same arguments, you know, and it's not just women. But this happens in sports, too. I find it fascinating." Those comments found their way to Smith himself, and he used them as an opportunity not necessarily to respond back, but voice his opinion on one of her strategies while campaigning for Kamala Harris last year. "When you were campaigning on behalf of the former Vice President Kamala Harris … you said a vote for [President Donald] Trump was a vote against you and a vote against y'all as women. I want to say for the record - I took major offense to that." Smith admitted. "I think to this day is the only thing that I didn't like that you said, I didn't appreciate it. Because there's so many things that go into deciding where your vote is going to go. For some people, it's all about the economy. For others, it's all about national security. For some people, it is immigration. For some people, it's safety in the streets of America. Long before they think about pro-choice or pro-life." Smith reiterated that he voted for Harris and "wouldn't vote for Trump," but "wasn't excited" how casting his vote for the former vice president "particularly after I heard about some of the shenanigans that the Democratic Party was engaging in leading up to the election. "But I'm talking specifically to you, Madam First Lady. You are not just beloved, you are revered. You are sensational in so many ways. I've been on the record on this show and many others stating had you run for president, you would have beat Trump. I still believe that … I believe if your husband elected to come back, he would beat Trump. That's my personal belief . . ." Smith continued. Smith then got into Obama's comments about ESPN, saying he disagreed with those as well. "So this doesn't have anything to do with what you were talking about, how sports and reality TV mirror one another, even though we would beg to differ. Because a lot of things on reality TV are made-up situations and scenarios to provoke reactions and all of that stuff. We're at sports, that's live entertainment, and you're actually competing against one another is big time. No, reality TV is not like that. You're so wrong about that, about that assertion, but that's neither here nor there. . . . "You will never hear me utter a negative word about you, but I respectfully disagreed and still remain pretty salty about what you said about us," Smith said, adding that he felt Obama "sort of blackmail[ed] us emotionally into trying to compel us to vote one way or another." Perhaps we may get another episode of this apparent Obama-Smith beef.

Life in Shambles? Grab Your Passport and Follow That Mutt.
A DOG IN GEORGIA, by Lauren Grodstein There is a certain kind of midlife woman in literature, maybe you know the type: She is attractive, intelligent, generally beloved by friends and family. She is also secretly (or not so secretly) a mess — whipsawed by an unhappy marriage, an emptying nest or mere existential dread. Amy Webb, the vexed protagonist of Lauren Grodstein's tart, emotionally attuned novel 'A Dog in Georgia,' is one of those unlucky lucky ladies, a former chef whose well-ordered life — a handsome and affectionate husband, a sprawling East Village apartment, a stepson successfully sent off to college — is fraying badly at the edges. The husband, a charismatic bear of a man named Judd, spends long hours happily absorbed in the chic downtown bistro he owns and operates, and 19-year-old Ferris, now a Cornell sophomore, no longer needs his stepmother's constant care. That doesn't leave Amy much to do other than pick up fresh produce from the farmers' market, fret over her gentle German shepherd and gaze at her phone, a Möbius loop of unlikely animal-friendship videos — a baby goat cozying up to a donkey, a stray kitten nursed by a terrier — set to soothe. So when it appears that Judd has stepped outside their marriage again with a new and distressingly nubile employee (Amy is well familiar with her husband's susceptibility to the charms of pretty young women in his orbit; 15 years ago, she was one of them), she has a choice to make. She can stay and work through another infidelity, or file for divorce. Or she can fly to Georgia, the small, politically unstable country wedged between Russia and Turkey on the Black Sea, and locate a lost dog named Angel that she knows only from the internet. Before the flummoxed people in her life can stop her, Amy is on a plane to the capital, Tbilisi, ready to lose herself in a rescue mission so quixotic that even Irine, the woman who runs Angel's website, can't quite believe she's there.

Tony Hale Cheers Himself Up With ‘Veep' Blooper Reels
'Man, I'm so thankful to have had the jobs that I've had,' Tony Hale said of the hit television shows he has been a part of, including 'Arrested Development' and 'Veep,' for which he won two Emmys. 'But there's something about being from the genesis of a project throughout the whole creative process,' he said of his latest film, nearly eight years in the making. 'And I have never felt such euphoria as that last day we wrapped.' In 'Sketch,' arriving in theaters on Wednesday, Hale plays a father of two whose wife has recently died, prompting his 10-year-old daughter to draw horrific pictures expressing her inner fury. Any parent would freak out, Hale surmised in a video interview from his car while driving between Georgia, where his parents live, and Tallahassee, Fla., where he grew up. But especially when those monsters, sprung from a child's vividly violent imagination, come to life in a film he described as 'Jurassic Park' meets 'Inside Out' because of its focus on coping with grief. Both the director, Seth Worley, who has a background in special effects, and Hale wanted a movie that they could share with their families but that wouldn't drive them crazy as they watched it on repeat.
