The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On stars announced they were expecting their third baby together with a sweet post on Instagram in September 2024. In the carousel of photos, Ballatori could be seen wearing a floral off-the-shoulder dress, placing her hands above and below her bump.
Kissinger posed next to his wife, wearing a white button-down and gray slacks. The couple also included an adorable photo of their daughter Josephine "Josie," 2, and son Conrad, 19 months, eating cupcakes together.
"Baby Kissinger #3 is on HIS way! 💙," Ballatori wrote in her post. "Between mine and Colby's families (ourselves included) there will be 5 new babies between Feb-April 2025! Such a sweet season of growth and life! God is good."
When the duo, who decided to get married in the season 1 finale of Netflix's The Ultimatum, walked onto the season one reunion stage together, Ballatori was visibly sporting a baby bump. She then revealed she was seven months pregnant and expecting a baby girl.
"I'm loving every second," Ballatori said.
Kissinger also raved about how his wife was managing her pregnancy, saying she's "handling it like a pro."
"I'm blown away, actually, by how she's handled it," he said. "My sister recently had a baby just last year. So we got [the] full experience of the whole, how it works process of the pregnancy. And she, like, has no problems. No aches. No nothing. She is just like an absolute champ about it."

Review: Powerful play ‘Memorabilia' explores the hope and limits of memory through the eyes of a clown
Jean Claudio, a formidable Chicago-based talent who lives on Instagram as @el_clown, can dance, juggle, tumble, perform handstands and unleash a variety of -style clowning, a function of having a remarkably pliant and supple body and having trained in circus and physical theater in Buenos Aries and at the Actors Gymnasium in Evanston. Claudio is not an actor who moves. He's a legitimate circus professional with an uncommon facility for generating empathy. And in 'Memorabilia,' a very enjoyable solo show now at the Filament Theatre in Portage Park, Claudio sets about extending his skills and engaging persona into a bigger narrative, one that explores the limits of memory and the possibility of its reawakening. The show is produced by Teatro Vista, and if I add that the Alzheimer's Association is one of the show's sponsors, you probably have a sense of the world that Claudio is inhabiting here. But it's far from conventional or based on just one of life's travails. Claudio is, after all, a clown. And the 80-minute show, which is perfectly fine for family audiences, is a mostly joyful experience as an inventor named Salvador interacts physically and comedically with a whole bunch of stuff from his prior life (a plate, a piece of fabric, a coffee pot, a song, a body, a love), the significance of which he often struggles to remember (or is it to face?). But on designer Lauren Nichols' set, Salvador has a Rube Goldberg contraption to aid him in his quest to recall what matters most. It's a sculpture made up of old televisions and monitors, drawers filled with objects, maybe a toaster oven to gobble up life's cues. In its best moments, which are fantastic, Claudio dives deep into the unsettling nature of memory loss and denial but also into our incredible ability to recall and survive things from long ago. It's an affirmative piece that really challenges the notion that 'I can't remember' has to be a permanent state. If your family (as was mine) was or is touched by Alzheimer's, you'll know that one of the main challenges faced by those with the condition is to sort out what is significant (a loved one, say), and what can and should be discarded to the sands of time. After all, the ability to forget is the only way we can manage to stay content; if we recalled every past slight and example of unfair treatment, we'd spend our days in a stew of resentment. It's to his great credit that Claudio's show brings all of this up. Like a lot of clowns trained in South and Central America, Claudio has developed an expertise in what is known as crowd work, the name given to audience interaction. This, too, here, is about prompting memory, mostly through a very extensive accompanying sound design from Satya Chávez that really becomes a second character in the show. I think 'Memorabilia' still needs some work: its potentially potent emotional trajectory, its arc of feeling, sometimes get pushed aside as Claudio gets too involved with all of his stuff on stage and the thread gets lost. Ironically, given the subject, the show has some ways yet to go when it comes to signaling what is and is not the most important and, although the conclusion is inspiring, it would be yet more powerful if it were allowed more room to breathe. It's mostly a question of finding the right focus and pairing down what does not get used, and I thought those issues most acute in the less cohesive second part of the evening. If Claudio could focus as much on the audience's journey of feeling as he does on trying to make us laugh, he'd really have something here. That said, 'Memorabilia' is still a very rewarding and unusual show and a piece of new work with formidable potential. As I watched, I kept thinking about how great it would be for a child with grandparents struggling with memory to see this piece with someone who could explain what it was trying to say, but then the same would apply for an adult with a forgetful parent or, indeed, to persons themselves working mightily to remember, in all the complexity of that word. Memory is a wonderful theme for el_clown to explore because he is so vulnerable and empathetic. All he has to do now is ask himself what in his show matters the most. Review: 'Memorabilia' (3 stars) When: Through June 29 Where: Teatro Vista at Filament Theatre, 4041 N. Milwaukee Ave. Running time: 1 hour, 20 minutes Tickets: $20-$55 at

Michelle Obama releasing style book after looks 'constantly dissected' in White House
Former First Lady Michelle Obama is releasing a book looking back at her favorite fashion and style moments over the years. Obama said she wanted to write the beauty book, titled "The Look," to "reclaim" her story after her looks were scrutinized during her time in the White House. "During our family's time in the White House, the way I looked was constantly being dissected — what I wore, how my hair was styled," she wrote in an Instagram announcement. "For a while now, I've been wanting to reclaim more of that story, to share it in my own way. I'm thankful to be at a stage in life where I feel comfortable expressing myself freely — wearing what I love and doing what feels true to me. And I'm excited to share some of what I've learned along the way," she added. The $50 book, to be released on November 4, features more than 200 photographs of the former first lady, including never-before-published images, according to publisher Crown Publishing Group. Obama said the book will give readers a behind-the-scenes look at her most memorable looks and the meaningful moments that accompanied them. It will also introduce readers to her style team from over the years. "The Look is about more than fashion. It's about confidence. It's about identity. It's about the power of authenticity," Obama said in her social media announcement. "My hope is that this book sparks conversation and reflection about the ways we see ourselves — and the way our society defines beauty." Obama has spoken out before about her style being scrutinized during her time in the White House. During the book tour for her 2022 book, "The Light We Carry," Obama revealed that she straightened her hair while her husband Barack Obama was in office because she didn't feel Americans were ready to accept her natural hair. The American people were "just getting adjusted" to having a Black president and weren't "ready" to see the first lady's hair in braids, she believed, according to a report in The Washington Post. "Let me keep my hair straight," Obama said of her thoughts at the time. "Let's get healthcare passed." In April, Obama revealed that fashion was one reason she skipped President Donald Trump's second inauguration. "It started with not having anything to wear," Obama said on her podcast, "IMO with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson." "I mean, I had affirmatively, cause I'm always prepared for any funeral, anything," Obama added. "I walk around with the right dress, I travel with clothes just in case something pops off. So I was like, if I'm not going to do this thing, I got to tell my team, I don't even want to have a dress ready, right? Because it's so easy to just say, let me do the right thing."
