Kristin Cavallari's children begged her to put them on social media
Kristin Cavallari's children begged her to put them on social media. The 38-year-old reality star is mother to Camden, 12, Jaxon, 11, as well as nine-year-old Saylor with her ex-husband Jay Cutler, and insisted that keeping them off her platforms forever was just "not realistic" even though she would want it to be that way. She told People: "They have been asking me for years to post them. I guess it was maybe a year and a half ago that I finally posted Camden. He's almost 13, Saylor is nine — she'll be 10 in the fall. It's sort of the curse of being the second or the third kid. They just sort of naturally do what the oldest is doing. In my perfect world, would they all be 12 [before] deciding if they were posted? Sure. But also, it's just not realistic." However, the former 'Laguna Beach' star does enjoy being able to share her children with her fans because they have been the "biggest part" of her life since they were born, and she wasn't able to let people in as much as she may have wanted to without showing them. She said: "It is nice for me to be able to show that with people because my kids are the biggest part of my life. They always have been since I became a mom. "And I could only let people in so much without showing my kids, so to be able to now share that world with everybody? People [can] see at the end of the day, I am just a normal mom. That is my life." Kristin also isnsited that she is just like "every other parent" and thinks that is "good" for others to see that sort of thing because she believes that a lot of people have certain misconceptions about her. She said: "I'm going to basketball practice and games like every other parent. I'm at school. I was on a field trip last Friday. I am doing all the normal mom things. "And I think it's probably good for people to see because I think people's idea of me is very different than who I actually am."

EXCLUSIVE Renee & Ant haven't been seen together since March as he faces financial ruin
and her British TV host boyfriend Ant Anstead have been living apart for the past year, has learned. The couple, who began dating in 2021, have not been seen together in public since early March when they were pictured supporting Anstead's young son at a soccer game. And Anstead, known for his roles in TV shows Wheeler Dealers and Born Mechanic, has instead been spotted staying overnight at the Laguna Beach home of a glamorous California divorcee while Zellweger has been in New York filming for a TV show. Anstead, 46, is now facing bankruptcy for his car company, a raft of lawsuits demanding over $3million, and has been selling off his assets. In recent years he owned a multi-million-dollar house in the exclusive town of Laguna Beach, California, and was pictured in 2022 moving in with Zellweger in her $30,000-per-month clifftop home across the street. But for the past year he had downgraded to a modest two-bed rental listed at $4,250 per month. Anstead's spokeswoman told the small house he left over a month ago 'was rented solely by Mr Anstead'. His landlord confirmed Zellweger was not on the lease. The actress, 56, is currently in New York City filming a new season of show, Only Murders In The Building, while Anstead was believed to be spending time in his home country, the UK, in recent weeks before returning to Laguna. His rep told he 'continues to remain private about his cherished personal relationship.' Zellweger's rep declined to comment. Meanwhile, a source close to the Bridget Jones star told they are still dating, despite living apart. But last week, Anstead was spotted staying overnight at the home of wealthy 36-year-old Laguna woman Julia French – who goes by the name 'Jules'. Jules, who has worked as a certified spin instructor at Rhythm Ride Laguna Beach according to her Facebook page, is currently divorcing her hedge fund founder husband, James Hanna III, the father of her two young children. An observer told that in recent months Anstead was even spotted meeting Jules on the beach for a sunset rendezvous, a romantic setting in the sought-after Southern California coastal town. The French family are well-known in Laguna and own several properties around the elite seaside town. Her beachfront, five-bed home is worth an estimated $8million according to real estate site Redfin, and has a separate two-bed unit. A friend of French who helps manage her properties told last week that Anstead had not been living at French's home. But the TV presenter was spotted returning to the clifftop mansion after watching his son's soccer game on the evening of May 20, his car was in the driveway at the following morning, and he was later spotted emerging from the property for a coffee run with a male friend. Anstead was spotted again later the following day on the beach, talking, smiling, and laughing with another glamorous young woman with tattoos, wearing a colorful bathing suit. After hanging out on the sand, the pair walked up to the two-bed apartment on Jules's property and entered. A source close to Zellweger said the actress is wary of having him move in with her, even after four years of dating. 'Renee currently has a rental in Laguna. When Ant lost his rental, the obvious thing would have been for him to move into the rental with Renee. But she doesn't want them cohabiting, so he has to find his own place to stay,' the source said. 'That's kind of how the relationship works.' Rumors have been swirling of Zellweger and Anstead's relationship's potentially rocky status as his financial and legal woes mount. This month Anstead's supercar company Radford Motors filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Delaware court, which usually results in the liquidation of a firm. Anstead even posted a video on Instagram saying he was selling his prized Land Rover Defender – though he claimed in the post that he had a 'new car incoming'. He or his company together are facing three lawsuits from customers who accuse him or his company of fraud and breaking contracts, claiming he or his company took their deposits, lied about progress on construction of a million-dollar sports car, then failed to deliver the vehicle or give the angry customers their money back, according to court papers. And the landlord of his Costa Mesa, California, workshop has reportedly filed to evict Anstead's company, claiming it continued to occupy the Orange County warehouse despite their lease being terminated. Office neighbors told no staff had been seen at the bankrupt company's workshop for over a week, but Anstead's spokeswoman said the landlord had 'withdrawn the claim which was made in error'. Palm Beach surgeon Scott Katzman, ordered a $1million Lotus race car designed for the famous Pikes Peak Hill Climb from Radford. But he says he got no car, and no refund of his deposit. Katzman and co-plaintiff Lamborghini Palm Beach filed a lawsuit in Orange County, California, on May 15 last year demanding $1,050,000 plus interest and 'exemplary and punitive damages' against Anstead and his two firms, Radford Motors P62, Inc and Finest Coachbuilding Group, LLC (FCG), for failing to refund him or deliver a car. Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, resident Pastor Velasco, also ordered a Radford car in March 2021 and paid a $100,000 deposit, he said. At the same time, he loaned Anstead's firm $2million at 12% interest. Velasco, who joined the board of Radford and secured his loan against the company's assets, filed a March 2024 Orange County lawsuit against Anstead's firm claiming it canceled the car contract and failed to finish repaying the loan or to refund the deposit. He is demanding $2.9million. A third plaintiff, Timothy Tasker, said he paid a $100,000 deposit in May 2022, but received no car or refund. Tasker's lawsuit filed against Anstead's firm in May last year says he believes that 'to date defendants have delivered no Type 62 Vehicles and that several people had submitted deposits similar to and in excess of the deposit paid by plaintiff and that those similarly situated individuals have likewise requested the return of their deposits without success.' Tasker and Katzman's lawsuits both accuse Anstead's company of 'fraud' for allegedly lying about his car-building progress and his plans to repay debts - and Katzman's suit names Anstead himself as an alleged perpetrator. Anstead has denied the legal claims and is contesting the lawsuits in court. His company called Velasco's lawsuit an 'ambush', and said the judge ruled that Velasco had 'bullied' FCG into the loan agreement which 'unjustly enriched Velasco through his own breaches of fiduciary duty'. A letter to customers from Radford's board said they had ploughed more money into the firm to try to save it and deliver orders, but that on legal advice they had recently appointed a trustee 'to administer and potentially sell the assets of the Company for the benefit of all stakeholders.' Action: Renee is currently in New York City filming for a new season of Only Murders In The Building Anstead's legal and financial troubles could be a case of life imitating art. Friends were telling in February that Renee put the brakes on her relationship with Anstead, revealing she had no plans of marriage to her real-life Mr. Darcy. 'Renee and Ant have been dating for over three years,' one insider said. 'She loves the relationship the way it is. 'She's seen so many couples, especially celebrities like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie who have happily dated, only to split not long after getting married. 'Why would she risk rocking the boat and rushing to take her relationship with Ant to the next level?' Responding to story today, Anstead's rep responded that 'Mr. Anstead and Miss Zelwegger (sic) are still together.' The rep added: 'Mr Anstead is working mostly in the UK, and he has spent some of his limited time back in OC at his friend's home. His friend Jules has a separate, detached guest house and the suggestion that their relationship is anything other than platonic is unacceptable.'

Renee Zellweger's boyfriend Ant Anstead staying at rich divorcee's home while actress works in NYC
Renee Zellweger's boyfriend, Ant Anstead, has been taking up residence at the home of a rich California divorcee while the actress has been working in New York City, Page Six can confirm. According to the Daily Mail, Anstead, 46, was recently seen staying overnight at the Laguna Beach mansion of Julia 'Jules' French, a 36-year-old cycling instructor who is reportedly divorcing her hedge fund founder husband, James Hanna III. The outlet reported that Anstead was spotted arriving at French's home and that his car was still in the driveway the next morning. He was reportedly later seen emerging from the property. 'Mr Anstead is working mostly in the UK, and he has spent some of his limited time back in [Orange County] at his friend's home,' the TV host's rep exclusively told Page Six on Thursday. 'His friend Jules has a separate, detached guesthouse, and the suggestion that their relationship is anything other than platonic is unacceptable and untrue.' The rep made sure to add that 'Mr. Anstead and Ms. Zellweger are still together.' A source close to Anstead – who shares his youngest son, Hudson, 5, with his second wife, Christina Haack – told the Daily Mail that he 'moved into the apartment above the garage at Jules' place' after he moved out of his modest rental home last month. 'One of her kids goes to the same school as Hudson,' the source said, alleging that the two have had a 'flirtatious friendship going on.' However, his rep vehemently denied that allegation, telling us, 'The suggestion that Mr. Anstead is flirtatious is not true and is disrespectful to his four-year relationship.' According to the Daily Mail 's source, the car aficionado is dealing with financial woes (including bankruptcy for his supercar company and lawsuits demanding millions of dollars) and is 'trying to find another rental place.' Meanwhile, a source close to Zellweger — who is currently away filming Season 5 of Only Murders in the Building — told the Daily Mail that she is weary of having Anstead move in with her, even though they've been dating since 2021. 'Renee currently has a rental in Laguna [Beach]. When Ant lost his rental, the obvious thing would have been for him to move into the rental with Renee, but she doesn't want them cohabiting, so he has to find his own place to stay,' the source claimed, adding, 'That's kind of how the relationship works.' The couple has not been photographed together publicly since early March. Anstead's rep told the Daily Mail that he 'continues to remain private about his cherished personal relationship,' while Zellweger's rep declined to comment. However, a source close to the Oscar winner, 56, also said that they are still dating, despite living apart.
