Greg Lindberg Shares Family Video Amid Reporter Calls To His Family Members

Greg Lindberg Shares Family Video Amid Reporter Calls To His Family Members

Yahoo28-03-2025

Tampa, Florida, March 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Entrepreneur and author Greg Lindberg has released a personal video to address the growing media attention surrounding his family. "National news reporters continue to contact and pressure my family members for interviews. I want to set the record straight about my family," Lindberg states in response to coverage about his 12 children, some of whom were born through IVF.
"Yes, it's a big family—but it's a happy, loving one," he emphasizes. "I'm sharing this video to show that having a large family is completely normal."

Lindberg's desire for a big family stems from his upbringing. "My grandmother was one of 13 siblings, and I always knew I wanted a large family myself," he shares.
In his journey to parenthood, Lindberg worked with several egg donors—some of whom demanded significantly higher-than-market rates for their contributions. "Despite the financial investment, it was worth it," he affirms. "Children are priceless. They require resources and education, but each child represents a vote for the future of our country and planet."
Lindberg reveals that his decision to expand his family was solidified during his 87-month prison sentence. "The prosecutor stated that his goal was to 'incapacitate Greg Lindberg.' So, I thought—what better way to prove him wrong than by building a large, beautiful family?"
However, he didn't anticipate the backlash. "I didn't realize having a big family was politically controversial. If bringing new life into the world—the most fundamental human act—is met with media attacks, that signals a serious problem in our society," he asserts.
According to Lindberg, the media distorts facts to create negative narratives. "For example, five of my children have a Latin American mother, yet news outlets focus on the European heritage of my other children. You can never win with the mainstream media, so the best approach is to ignore the critics and live your life on your own terms."
Lindberg also reflects on the challenges he faced after his 2017 divorce. "I have three wonderful children from my first marriage. The divorce was difficult for all of us, but it reinforced how much I missed the joy of young children laughing, learning, and even the occasional chaos."
Determined to expand his family, Lindberg faced setbacks along the way. "For nearly three years, my efforts didn't result in any successful pregnancies," he recalls.
He credits modern fertility treatments and IVF for making his dream possible. "Thanks to medical advancements, people who struggle with infertility can still build the families they long for," he notes.
Lindberg expresses deep gratitude to everyone who played a role in his journey—egg donors, gestational carriers, and medical professionals. "Their help made this family possible," he acknowledges.
Brenda Lynch, a longtime project manager for Lindberg, highlights his dedication to fatherhood. "For Greg, being a father isn't just about financial support—it's about being actively involved in his children's lives and encouraging their passions. He's incredibly devoted to helping them follow their dreams."

Blue Ivy Carter Just Won Another Major Award

Blue Ivy Carter won big at last night's BET Awards. The 13-year-old took home the YoungStars Award for the second year in a row. She was nominated alongside actress Akira Akbar, YouTube star Graceyn 'Gracie' Hollingsworth, actress Heiress Harris, actress Melody Hurd, actor Thaddeus J. Mixson, actor Tyrik Johnson, and musician VanVan. Beyoncé and Jay-Z's eldest daughter was absent from yesterday's ceremony because she's currently in London for the European leg of the Cowboy Carter Tour. Along with her little sister Rumi, Blue has been performing at the show since the tour first began in April. In a recent interview with ELLE, Blue's grandmother, Tina Knowles, spoke about Beyoncé's choice to let Blue perform onstage, which she was initially apprehensive about. 'It was her mom's decision,' she said. 'But I encouraged it because my girls were allowed to express themselves creatively in any way they chose to. If they wanted to perform, then they got to perform. I tried to encourage everything that they wanted to do—every dream that they had.' She continued, 'So my personal two cents was, 'I hope you let her do it.' Her mother, being protective of her, thought she was too young. She was like, 'This is a heavy thing. It's 70,000 people out there sometimes, so that's a big deal for you to get in front of those people.' And so her response came from a place of protection, and mine came from a place of, 'Well, I would have let you do it.' And I remember saying that. But it wasn't my business, it was her mom's business. I just kind of helped the conversation along a bit.' There's still time to see the Carter girls at the Cowboy Carter Tour.

Paramount lays off several hundred employees amid linear TV declines and 'dynamic macro-environment'

Paramount Global will lay off 3.5% of its domestic workforce, which amounts to several hundred jobs, as the media and entertainment company continues to navigate a difficult industrywide decline in linear television. The majority of the affected employees were notified Tuesday, according to a letter sent Tuesday morning to employees that was obtained by The Times. In addition to the decline in linear TV, the company also cited a "dynamic macro-economic environment" and the continued priority of streaming business investments as the backdrop to these layoffs. The affected departments were not disclosed. "We recognize how difficult this is and are very thankful for everyone's hard work and contributions," Paramount co-chief executives George Cheeks, Chris McCarthy and Brian Robbins wrote in the letter. "These changes are necessary to address the environment we are operating in and best position Paramount for success." The layoffs come just one day after Paramount said its chief financial officer, Naveen Chopra, would be resigning at the end of the month. The company said in a regulatory filing that Chopra's resignation was not the result of disagreement with the company or its board of directors. Paramount is just one of several studios across Hollywood that are downsizing. Last week, Walt Disney Co. announced layoffs for several hundred employees in the U.S. and abroad, citing the decline in linear TV. The layoffs largely affected the film and television marketing teams, television publicity, casting and development as well as corporate financial operations. The move came just three months after the company cut 200 workers, including at ABC News and Disney-owned entertainment networks. Warner Bros. Discovery also laid off employees from its cable TV channels last week, cutting several dozen positions. On Monday, the media and entertainment company said it would split into two separate firms — one entity that includes the film studio, television production, HBO and HBO Max and DC Studios and the other with cable channels such as CNN and TNT as well as its European over-the-air networks.
