Post Malone utilizes brutal legal loophole for shock twist in custody battle with ex-fiancee
In the latest development surrounding Post Malone 's custody case, the musical artist has petitioned a court to hold the proceedings in Utah. The Congratulations rapper, 29, said in legal docs submit by his attorney Laura Wasser (and reviewed by TMZ) that he is raising the child in the state of Utah. The child's mother Jamie Park filed a similar request in Los Angeles County court, petitioning the court for primary custody of the three-year-old, with the rapper getting nominal time, the outlet reported after reviewing legal docs. The Grammy-nominated artist, whose weight loss has been a topic of discussion among fans, told the court the child's mother only filed in Los Angeles for perceived strategic advantages among the court battle. Wasser pointed out to the court that the female child already has a number of essential ties to Utah. They include her nanny, pediatrician, as well as classes she's been enrolled in for music, physical education and swimming, the attorney told the court in legal docs. has reached out to Malone's reps for comment on the report. The Grapevine, Texas native, whose real name is Austin Post, announced the birth of his child in June 2022 without disclosing her name. At the same time, he revealed he was engaged to the baby's mother but kept his fiancée's identity private, with fans taking to calling her 'Jamie.' It emerged in March that the Circles rapper and 'Jamie' had split, and he has recently been seen on multiple dates with a 20-year-old influencer called Christy Lee, with whom he indulged in a public display of affection in Paris this month. Last week, 'Jamie' revealed that her real name is Hee Sung Park, in a legal filing asking for sole physical custody of her daughter, according to Page Six. Now it is alleged that Park had Post located and served with papers in the parking garage of an upscale Los Angeles apartment building just two days before he was meant to play Coachella, in court documents cited by In Touch Weekly. The Rockstar performer was allegedly served at an building in downtown Los Angeles in which the penthouse apartment rents out for a staggering $22,995 a month. The process server supposedly claims to have personally approached Post and handed him the papers around 1pm this past Friday. Post headlined both Sunday night shows at the Coachella this year - Easter and the preceding weekend - and during his final gig, he brought Ed Sheeran and Jelly Roll onstage. In Park's legal documents, submitted last month to the Los Angeles Superior Court's family law division, she refers to her and Post's daughter simply as DDP. The two-year-old's mother filed for full physical custody, but she only requested joint legal custody and is also open to giving Post visitation rights, aka 'parenting time.' Park, who reportedly split from Post near the end of 2024, alleged in her new legal documents that DDP has lived with her since November, via TMZ. Her court filing, in which she demands that her ex cover her legal costs, also revealed that their daughter was born in May 2022. As for child support, she said: 'The court may make orders for support of the children and issue an earnings assignment without further notice to either party.' Post reportedly recently submitted sealed custody documents of his own in Utah, where he keeps his primary residence, but he has yet to give a response to Park's new filing. Last month, TMZ reported that Post's filing in Utah preceded Park's, which could help him save a considerable amount of money. Sources said the rapper-turned-country star filed in Utah because he and Park had previously been splitting custody down the middle in the state, but it's also to his financial benefit, as Utah is far stingier with child-support payments than California. Despite Park's efforts to have the case heard in California, sources said the case would remain in Utah. The sources alleged that Park had only moved to the Golden State earlier this year in an attempt to obtain residency and find more favorable conditions in California's court system. However, Post's initial filing is under seal, so details about it are scarce. Last month — one day after Park submitted her request for full physical custody — Post was seen illegally holding an open bottle of Bud Light in the backseat of a black SUV in Los Angeles. California law prohibits persons from carrying an open — or even unsealed — container of alcohol in a vehicle's passenger compartment, which is to say any place in reach of somebody in the car, such as a cupholder or glovebox. In recent weeks, Post has been repeatedly spotted enjoying public dates with his new 20-year-old girlfriend Christy Lee, who studied at Parsons School Of Design and has reportedly interned for celebrity stylist Kristina Askerova. Post announced his daughter's birth and his own engagement to Park in June 2022, during an interview on The Howard Stern Show. In 2023, he revealed that he and Park — whom he did not name at the time — had in fact gotten engaged two years earlier in Las Vegas, though she turned down his drunken first proposal and instructed him to ask again the next day. 'I had lost a significant amount of money at the table,' he shared on Call Her Daddy. 'We go upstairs and I'm off my rocker hammered and I was like: "Hey, you wanna marry me?" I got a ring and all this stuff. And she said: "No." She's like: "Ask me tomorrow," and I was like: "All right." And then I did and I was sober and it was nice.' He showered praise on Park, saying that he knew that she was the 'right' woman for him because of how 'massive' her heart was. 'I've always wanted kids and a big family, and I could tell she was going to be a really good mama,' he said. 'And she's like, number one mom in the f***ing universe.'

Post Malone stuns fans with weight loss amid Ozempic rumors as he puts his arm around Kim Zolciak
Post Malone stunned his fans with his dramatic weight loss transformation after revealing his secret to shedding pounds. The 29-year-old rapper surprised his fans with his new look in backstage photos at a recent concert. In the snapshots, he posed alongside Kim Zolciak — whom fans are also convinced has taken up Ozempic after debuting her new look and appearing 'suddenly so thin.' The musician, whose real name is Austin Post, wore a raglan shirt and straight-leg jeans that hugged his slender physique, showing off his results after his major weight loss. The singer, who is currently on tour with country star Jelly Roll, left his fans shocked as they reacted to his transformation after approximately one year. This comes just months after Malone, who has been entangled in a bitter custody battle with his ex-fiancée after she 'served him with legal papers in a very brutal way,' addressed speculation that he was using Ozempic. Amid the rumors, he opened up about his weight loss journey and revealed how he made a subtle change to his diet and, as a result, shed nearly 60 pounds. Earlier this year, he shared the details about his body transformation during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show in late January. He claimed that he did not turn to weight loss drugs but instead introduced just one important ingredient to his diet to go from 240 pounds to 185. In addition to eating healthier, he said that adding a hot sauce with no calories helped him cut out fried food and unhealthy snacks. He said that while touring, it was difficult to stick to a consistent diet due to being in unfamiliar cities with limited food options. However, he said he started eating more whole foods and seeing results. He said he paired hot sauce with grilled chicken, carrots and white rice and lost about 60 pounds just with that change. Malone also said he stopped eating greasy, unhealthy snacks as well as cutting out soda in an effort to consume less sugar. With a 'mind blown' reaction, another fan added: 'How'd he get so skinny?!' 'Post so little,' one fan observed. He also previously talked about how he wanted to become healthier because of his daughter, who was born in 2022. Amid his weight loss journey, he also admitted to Stern that he was working on quitting tobacco. He also reduced his alcohol consumption. In addition to his new diet, Malone also opened up about his regular physical activity and said he has 'never felt healthier.' In reaction to his transformation, Zolciak's photos from his concert received comments from fans pointing out their new looks. One Instagram user wrote alongside a slack-jaw emoji: 'Who is that? Where is his weight at?!' With a 'mind blown' reaction, another fan added: 'How'd he get so skinny?!'

From local appearances to stadiums From local gigs around DFW, including a memorable performance at Grapevine's Main Street Fest, Austin quickly began building his career. "They paid him, I think, like $500 to play the Audi stage," Rich recalled. "I thought to myself, 'Who is paying these kids $500 to play music?' And now look at him, he's playing stadiums." Predicted for fame Austin graduated from Grapevine High School in 2013, and even then, his classmates saw something special. He was voted "Most Likely to Be Famous."
