Meet RHOBH star Garcelle Beauvais' 3 children: Oliver is a rapper and father of 2 who's weathered cheating and drug scandals, and Jaid is a model – but Jax wants nothing to do with his family's fame
Garcelle Beauvais' 16-year-old son
Jaid Thomas Nilon – whom she shares with ex-husband Michael Nilon – made his modelling debut last July in her RHOBH co-star Sutton Stracke's Green Label fashion show. Beauvais was a proud, excited and nervous mum at the show, per PageSix at the time, but according to the outlet she needn't have worried, as Jaid reportedly already looked the consummate professional.
Here's what else we know about Beauvais' three grown-up children.

Beauvais gave birth to her first child, Oliver, with producer Daniel Saunders in 1991. The Haitian actress says he was an 'easy and happy' baby but grew up to be a rebellious child who got kicked out of five schools. He dabbled in acting but music was his real passion, and he began rapping under the stage name Jayson Rose. Per People magazine, he has struggled with addiction and in 2022, was accused of cheating on his (now ex-) wife, Samantha Saunders.
He shares a son, Oliver Jr, with Samantha, and a daughter, Valley Marie-Claire Saunders, with his current partner, Shantei Paranada.
Jax Joseph Nilon, 17

Jax is Jaid's fraternal twin. While Jaid enjoys the spotlight, Jax isn't too fond of all the attention. In 2022, he shared his struggles with the online harassment, attacks and racism he was facing from RHOBH viewers and 'middle-aged women'. 'I just want to be a normal kid,' he emphasised, and his mother reshared his message on her Instagram Story. When asked if he wanted to attend his twin brother's fashion show, he reportedly said 'absolutely not'.

Sorry, there are no UFOs, just a vast US deep state conspiracy
So, The X-Files, the hit American science fiction TV series from the 1990s, turned out to be a docudrama. Going by a new investigative report by The Wall Street Journal, there really was a vast government conspiracy over the existence of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and their associated myths such as alien sightings. However, it wasn't so much that the US government suppressed – as per the show – the truth about little green men in flying saucers visiting the Earth with superior alien technology. Rather, the Pentagon helped seed and spread stories and myths to distract public attention from its advanced weapons development, such as spy planes and stealth fighters during the Cold War and even after. '[The] US military fabricated evidence of alien technology and allowed rumours to fester to cover up real secret weapons programmes,' the report said. 'Now, evidence is emerging that government efforts to propagate UFO mythology date back all the way to the 1950s.' The whole exercise was a ruse to protect what was really going on in Area 51. 'The air force was using the site to develop top-secret stealth fighters viewed as a critical edge against the Soviet Union,' the report said. 'Military leaders were worried that the programmes might get exposed if locals somehow glimpsed a test flight of, say, the F-117 stealth fighter, an aircraft that truly did look out of this world. Better that they believe it came from Andromeda.' Area 51 in the Nevada Desert is ground zero for many UFO fans – the mecca of true believers – but is actually a highly restricted military zone, which no doubt added to the place's mystique.

Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, makes surprise appearance at Sean ‘Diddy' Combs trial
Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, briefly showed up to the New York sex trafficking trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs on Friday to support the hip-hop mogul, a long-time friend. Advertisement Ye, dressed in white, arrived at Manhattan federal court before noon while the trial was on a break and spent about 40 minutes in the building. He did not get into the main courtroom and instead observed testimony on a closed-circuit monitor in an overflow room. Asked if he was at the courthouse to support Combs, he responded 'yes' and nodded. He then hustled to a lift and did not appear to respond when a reporter asked if he might testify on Combs' behalf when the defence begins presenting its case as early as next week. Ye did not answer further questions as he left the courthouse, walking past reporters and television cameras, and ducked into a waiting black Mercedes. Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges alleging that he used his fame, fortune and violence to commit crimes over a 20-year period. 'Jane' (right) demonstrates a choke hold that she says Sean 'Diddy' Combs put her in during his trial in New York on Thursday. Courtroom sketch: Jane Rosenberg via Reuters Ye's appearance at the courthouse came a day after a woman identified in court only by the pseudonym 'Jane' finished six days of testimony.
