Jennie Garth's crushing discovery after daughter found her own dad Peter Facinelli on DATING app
Jennie Garth opened up about the crushing discovery that she made after her eldest daughter accidently came across her dad Peter Facinelli's dating profile.
The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum, 53 - who recently bared it all for her first underwear shoot - opened up about the incident during an appearance on Thursday's episode of the I Do, Part 2 podcast.
The actress shares three children - Luca Bella, 27, Lola, 22, and Fiona, 18 - with the Twilight actor, Peter Facinelli, whom she divorced in 2013.
While talking to fellow host Jana Kramer and guest J.P. Rosenbaum, Garth revealed she discovered her ex husband was looking to date a woman in the same age range as their eldest daughter.
'My ex-husband Peter, I was told, was on Raya.' she explained.
'And his age, whatever range, that he was looking for was also the age range of his oldest daughter.'
Jennie then revealed that their daughter Luca had been the one that 'came across' her own father's profile on the dating app.
While it is not known exactly when the former couple's eldest child discovered her dad's Raya dating profile, he has since gotten into a relationship with Lily Anne Harrison.
The pair became engaged back in 2020 and they also share one child - a son named Jack, two.
Jennie has also moved on in her love life and married Dave Abrams in 2015 and they will celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary next month in July.
During an episode of her own I Choose Me podcast last year, the actress reflected on her co-parenting relationship with Facinelli following their split.
She stated, 'That's what Peter and I ultimately wanted more than anything was to have our friendship back and be able to co-parent in a healthier way because we had been doing it all wrong for a while.'
The star added, 'The girls are so happy and there's just a big weight off my shoulders. That's a conflict I don't need to carry anymore.'
And while talking to the New York Post back in 2023, Peter explained, 'I always feel like as long as the parents, the co-parents, are getting along and we're happy, the kids are happy.
'You know what I mean? It's when nobody wants to choose sides. No, they love mom and dad equally.'
She stated, 'That's what Peter and I ultimately wanted more than anything was to have our friendship back and be able to co-parent in a healthier way because we had been doing it all wrong for a while'; former couple seen in 1998 in Westwood
The actor continued, 'As long as they feel safe in both homes and they have the support of both families. And as long as both co-parents are on the same side in terms of what the rules are in the house.'
Facinelli then told the outlet that 'when you're not in agreement' is the 'worst thing.'
The exes have enjoyed mini reunions in recent years - such as last summer as they had a 'Family Day Out.'
They celebrated the Fourth of July holiday with their three children - and Peter's son Jack as well as fiancee Lily Anne Harrison were also spotted during the festivities.
At the time, the blended family had a blast while spending time on a boat and Jennie uploaded photos to Instagram that had captured special moments from the outing.
And earlier this month, Garth and Facinelli reunited once again to celebrate their youngest child's high school graduation.
Their 18-year-old daughter Fiona officially graduated from Notre Dame High School in the Sherman Oaks neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Garth jumped to her main Instagram page to share snaps from the big day - and one group picture showed Facinelli also attending the outdoor ceremony.
'She did it!! My baby girl graduated high school! I am so beyond proud of her!! My heart is filled with so much excitement to see her fly! I love you so much,' the actress wrote in the caption.
And on Thursday's episode of Jennie's podcast I Choose Me, she had the chance to talk to Fiona about the milestone.
At one point, they called Facinelli to also get his thoughts on his youngest daughter officially graduating high school.
The actor jokingly revealed that they had called him when he was in the shower and said he was 'naked and dripping wet.'
Garth quipped with, 'That's a visual for our listeners,' and added that she would need to 'scrub my eyeballs.'
Peter then admitted that he felt 'very numb' over Fiona's recent graduation and further explained, 'Honestly, it's been a very numbing experience. Yeah. I don't know if it's all hit me yet.
'You know, you're our baby, so you're all growing up and it's a whole new chapter. And I feel like I don't know how to feel. I really feel like I haven't fully experienced all the emotions.'
Fiona revealed that she also feels a bit 'numb' but is also 'really happy and I feel like kind of just at peace.'
Jennie has been keeping busy and recently took part in her first underwear shoot at the age of 53.
The actress paused for an assortment of snaps for the brand ThirdLove and modeled the company's new TempSync bras.
Garth exuded confidence for the lingerie photoshoot and showcased her toned midriff.
In the caption of the post, the star gushed that she has 'never felt more confident, or comfortable in my skin' and added she is 'proud to be part of this moment...'

B.J. Novak's rumored love interest Delaney Rowe claims her partner doesn't 'trust' her as fans blast mystery man
B.J. Novak's rumored love interest Delaney Rowe has said that her partner doesn't 'trust' her intentions after she started the romance as 'noncommittal.' TikTok star Delaney, who was romantically linked to The Office actor, 45, in April, opened up about her personal life during an appearance on the Boy Problems podcast, hosted by Liz Plank, which was released earlier this week. Although she never explicitly referred anyone by name, the social media star, 29, said: 'I'm not like, you know the cuffs aren't on, like I'm not like fully boo'ed up, but like, I am dating and it's going okay.' Explaining the hurdles plaguing her current romance, Delaney continued: 'I was the problem, and I had to sort of reconcile with that recently. 'I was not sure and so I was sort of noncommittal for a long period of time when he was like very sure. 'And so now I am sure and he's like, "I don't really trust your intentions at this point."' Although the identity of the person Delaney was referring to was not revealed, social media users have blasted the man in question and have branded him as 'hugely manipulating and gaslighting.' Taking to Reddit, one said: 'That is not a man you should be fighting for girl.' Delaney and B.J. first sparked romance rumors in November when they were snapped together at The Official How Long Gone After Party at The Standard in New York City 'To be honest, it sounds like he love-bombed her in the beginning and eventually won her over,' another penned. 'And then there was no more conquest so he lost most of his interest.' 'Okay so it sounds like he's hugely manipulating and gaslighting her,' a third remarked. A fourth commented: 'Lol he doesn't want "proof" girl, he's trying to "test you" and make you prove to him that you're good enough for him, solely to destroy your self-esteem and seek revenge for the rejection he initially faced. 'He will never treat you well, but he will destroy your self-esteem and sense of self-worth. 'Even if you date him seriously, he will continue making you prove yourself to him until you're just where he wants you - controllable, accommodating and submissive.' 'Sounds emotionally abusive tbh,' another simply said. A sixth added: 'This is also one of the oldest tricks for toxic men. They know when you're not ready so they chase you and push, then when you finally give in or you're ready, they pull away - blame you for not accepting their commitment but they won't end it either.' Daily Mail has contacted Delaney and B.J.'s reps for comment. Social media users have blasted the man in question and have branded him as 'hugely manipulating and gaslighting' Delaney and B.J. first sparked romance rumors in November when they were snapped together at The Official How Long Gone After Party at The Standard in New York City. The following month, in December 2024, there was talk that the two might be seeing each other after they were spotted together at the Bowery Hotel in New York City. For years it has been speculated that he is still dating his The Office costar Mindy Kaling and they have welcomed children together. Mindy and B.J. dated on and off from 2004 to 2007, and although they have publicly insisted their bond is now platonic, rumors have swirled about their relationship. The pair have remained friends since they met while working on The Office in 2004 and in 2017, B.J. became Mindy's daughter's godfather. Additionally, the duo have appeared at multiple public events together since their split, igniting speculation that their relationship might be more than just amicable. Their Office characters Kelly and Ryan had a complicated relationship on-screen, and by the series finale, the two characters were back together. At the 2022 Emmy Awards, the pair poked fun at their 'insanely complicated relationship' while co-presenting the award for writing for a limited or anthology series or movie. When she received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Mindy - who has not publicly named the father of any of her three children - made headlines by describing BJ as an 'important and integral' part of her family.

Taylor Swift makes surprise visit to children's hospital amid swirling Travis Kelce marriage rumors
Taylor Swift made a sweet surprise visit to a local children's hospital on Friday in Florida. Her visit comes just hours after her loved up appearance at the Stanley Cup Final with partner Travis Kelce. The A-list couple's PDA filled outing to the game - whih was the Florida Panthers against the Edmonton Oilers came amid rumors they secretly wed. Taylor's visit on Friday took place at Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital with the megastar stopping and talking to patients, staff and families. The Grammy award winning artist looked beautiful in a teal dress with her hair loose around her. One night earlier, Taylor and Travis had all eyes on them as they attended the Stanley Cup Final in Florida. Swift, 35, and Kelce, 35, held hands as they made their grand arrival at Amerant Bank Arena to watch the Florida Panthers play the Edmonton Oilers. Fans were on the lookout for any clues as they tuned in to see the A-list couple interact with one another in their VIP seats. While Swift wasn't flashing a wedding ring, the 13-time Grammy winner did give nod to her love for the NFL hunk in hidden details in her nearly $16,000 game day outfit. She was wearing several items that displayed her love for the NFL hunk. On her left wrist, Swift had on a sparkly diamond 'TNT' bracelet — short for 'Travis and Taylor' — that Kelce famously had custom made for her. Kelce surprised Swift with the tennis bracelet, as well as a matching version for himself, in early 2024. According to People, Taylor's bracelet was created by Wove Made Inc. Jewelers with 14K yellow gold and 4.62 carats lab-grown diamonds. The football star reportedly paid $6,360 for the flashy, personalized gift. The couple , who have been enjoying a romantic vacation in Florida during Kelce's NFL offseason break, were spotted at Amerant Bank Arena less than hour after rumors of their attendance first surfaced. According to ESPN's Greg Wyshynski, a helicopter was seen landing near the venue roughly 50 minutes before the puck drop, with the VIP entrance and elevators to the press box also closed to the public as Kelce and Swift made their grand arrival. After the game had begun, they were first seen walking through the corridors of the arena and heading to their seats in footage captured by Canadian network Sportsnet. They were then picked out by TNT Sports cameras sitting in the stands as Travis showed his girlfriend something on his phone. As the game went on, Swift was spotted kissing her boyfriend during a lull in the action. The superstar placed a hand on Kelce's face and planted a kiss on his lips several times before sharing a laugh together. Kelce and Swift had been keeping a relatively low profile this offseason until they were seen having dinner together in West Palm Beach last month. They then briefly left Florida to attend the Kansas City Chiefs tight end's family wedding in Nashville last week. Taylor gave guests the shock of a lifetime after joining her man as he celebrated his cousin, Tanner Corum, tying the knot. The pop megastar's appearance at the wedding in Nashville came just a few days after her and Travis' latest glitzy date night together. They were seen visiting Buccan, a James Beard-nominated restaurant in Palm Beach, and before leaving the establishment hand-in-hand as they greeted fans while making their way home in a black SUV. Swift and Kelce have been making the most of some down time together before the latter gets his NFL training camp underway next month.

Weight-loss Lizzo owes fans an apology for hypocrisy after building career on ‘body positivity' – they've been betrayed
USUALLY when one of showbusiness's more corpulent constituents is pictured 'showcasing their incredible weight loss' you need a laser measure to verify it. Like when Gemma Collins 'flaunts her new figure ' in some social media photobomb, she always looks the same size as she ever is, if not bigger. 8 8 So when I saw a headline about plus-sized popstar Lizzo 's ' transformation ' I eye-rolled so hard I could see my neck. Then bam! There she was, a whole 1,000st lighter, looking more like that 200-year-old glass flute she famously played than the double bass of old. Squeezed into a basque at the BET Awards in LA this week, she dropped jaws with a silhouette that wouldn't look out of place from Kim K. Where the hell had the rest of her gone? Blame it on the juice diet? Maybe. Because according to Lizzo, it wasn't fashionable weight-loss jabs like Ozempic that cut 16 per cent of her body fat so quickly, Nope. Definitely not. Instead, she claims, she's been dipping into the tuck box less, getting her steps in and pumping iron on Instagram for what she calls her ' weight release'. OK. But the real mystery is why she's lost the weight in the first place. After all, this once spherical superstar was perfectly happy with her dramatic dimensions. We know this because she never stopped telling us. Her whole vibe was about being a 'body icon' for the bigger-boned, once declaring: 'I know I'm fat. It doesn't bother me. I like being fat, and I'm beautiful and I'm healthy.' So happy was she with her curves she styled herself as a big bouncy beacon of hope for all the plus-sized girls out there. A put-upon demographic she described as: 'Girls with back fat, girls with bellies that hang, girls with thighs that aren't separated, that overlap. Girls with stretch marks . . . girls who are in the 18-plus club.' And with her Big Grrrls schtick and 'thick b****' chat, Lizzo wasn't just promoting 'body positivity'. It went further. Being fat was reframed as having a superpower and by extension more 'real' than other body shapes, especially all those 'skinny hos' (her words) who decorate the pop world. She even launched her own Amazon Prime reality TV series, Watch Out For The Big Grrrls, which hunted for plus-sized backing dancers. As she put it: 'What I'm doing is stepping into my confidence and my power to create my own beauty standard. And one day that will just be the standard.' So what are her devotees to think now? Is she finally admitting that perhaps her exuberant promotion of obesity was a bit, you know, irresponsible? Phoney narcissist Perhaps she's subconsciously pointing fans to recent research that suggested people her age, 37, who are obese, have a 52 per cent higher chance of a premature death? Or the huge rise in obesity-related cancers affecting the breast, uterus and — apologies for spoiling your breakfast — rectum. Is that what you're telling us, Lizzo? Because so far, all we've heard is a load of claptrap about 'new perspectives'. It's no surprise that the star's fans have blasted her outrageous hypocrisy. They feel betrayed, sold a pup by someone who they admired and who they felt spoke for them but seems to have turned out to be another phoney narcissist. One summed it up, saying: 'She's becoming exactly what she spent the past decade saying she would never be.' Such is her Damascene conversion, she has even been accused of fat-shaming her own dancers, something she denies. The new Small Grrrl Lizzo probably doesn't care about any backlash. A quadruple Grammy-winning star worth $40million, she is certainly not stupid and knows that while you can probably carry off being a 28st superstar when you're 28, as you approach your forties you may soon find yourself dancing with death. She does not want to sacrifice her lucrative career on the altar of her cynical virtual signalling. So hang the fans. But what a con. Building a world for her followers that she has no intention of living in herself and refusing to be honest about why that is. She owes her fans a proper explanation — and an apology. It's about damn time. SHOW SENSE, SHEIKH I'VE never been to Dubai and have very little interest in doing so. Visiting a scorching hot sand pit packed with moronic Towie types is not a holiday, it's a prison sentence. And for British teenager Marcus Fakana, it literally is. The 19-year-old lad was caught sleeping with a girl a few months younger than him during a trip there last year. He was 18 at the time but the girl was only 17, so cops arrested him for breaching Dubai's age of consent, which is 18, and sentenced him to a year in some godforsaken jail. He has now submitted a plea imploring the state's leader, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, to show him mercy. I hope he gets it. What possible good does his incarceration do for anyone? Our craven politicians – and royals (he was mates with the Queen) – roll out the red carpet when the oil-drenched Sheikh comes over here. It's time for him to return that goodwill and let poor Marcus come home. ORLANDO BLOOMIN' BONKERS 8 THE lesser-spotted actor Orlando Bloom has spent £10,000 trying to remove all the microplastics from his blood. Wow, they saw him coming, didn't they? Doctors were quick to question the bizarre practice, with one sniping: 'I am not sure that it removes anything from the patient other than a lot of cash.' Ouch! It got me thinking of that famous picture of Orlando, paddle-boarding with his missus Katy Perry, with his willy out. We all assumed he was naked but perhaps he was just proudly wearing The Emperor's New Wetsuit? OLIA'S MOVING MEMOIR 8 RUSSIA' S barbaric war with Ukraine has so far displaced more than ten million citizens. Two of those forced to flee were the parents of my very dear friend, the chef and food writer Olia Hercules. They lost their cherished home in Kakhovka, southern Ukraine, after Russian troops stormed in in April 2022, seizing everything in their path. Olia, who lives in London with her British husband and two kids, has written about the harrowing experience and how it reshaped her family, in her new memoir Strong Roots: A Ukrainian Family Story of War, Exile And Hope. It is an important book you can't put down, spanning several generations that brings to life what war and oppression does to proud people. But it is also a beautifully written and inspiring story about the enduring power of the human spirit. It's released on Thursday and I cannot recommend it enough. EIGHT hundred of Poundland 's stores have been sold for £1. Finally, something you can get from them that does only cost a quid. BEYONCE'S GONE A BIT 'SPURSY' POOR old Beyonce has been forced to find seat fillers for her UK stadium shows, after punters refused to pay up to £620 to watch her pretend to be a cowboy. She's booked in for six gigs at Tottenham Hotspur's 62,850-capacity stadium but hasn't sold out a single night. Yikes! Still, at least Mrs Carter can take some comfort from knowing that she's not the only one to experience great disappointment at the home of the Premier League 's 17th best team. WHAT'S THE COVER STORY SABRINA? 8 SABRINA Carpenter appears to have been watching too many Bonnie Blue videos. How else to explain her crass new album cover, which sees her on all fours as some random bloke lifts up her hair while presumably demanding she Please Please Please him? You can't see his face but maybe it's that Robin Thicke dude, who sleazed all over those naked models in his creepy Blurred Lines video. After proudly loading up the image on Instagram and hitting 'share', Sabrina's timeline exploded, with fans branding it 'disgusting', 'misogynistic' and an insult to domestic abuse survivors. I'm sure the increasingly sexualised Sabrina, desperate to shed her Disney puppet past, thinks it's all on-brand and hey, it's done the job – everyone is talking about it. But what message does this lame cover send to her young fans, who presumably make up the bulk of her fanbase? Like my daughter, 11, who thinks she's amazing. What am I supposed to say when she asks: 'Daddy, why is Sabrina on her knees like that?'
