Bobbi Althoff Opens Up About Judging Her Mom for Having Kids by Different Men: 'You Are a Hoe'
Bobbi Althoff is learning the hard way that the same standards we judge others by often circle back to bite us. During a recent candid interview with rapper Lil Tjay on The Really Good Podcast, the viral content creator opened up about the breakdown of her marriage, motherhood, and her complicated relationship with the past, including how she once harshly judged her own mother for decisions she now finds herself unintentionally mirroring. 'You Are a Hoe': Bobbi Admits to Harshly Judging Her Mother In the vulnerable sit-down, Althoff revealed that her current life path, specifically as a co-parent to her two daughters following a divorce, has forced her to revisit the judgments she once hurled at her own mother. 'I judged my mom a lot for doing that,' she admitted around the 13-minute mark of the interview. 'She had two baby daddies and I was like, 'You are a hoe.' And then I got divorced. If I have more kids, I'll have two baby daddies, and that's kind of crazy.' The striking confession stunned listeners for its rawness and honesty. Althoff didn't sugarcoat her hypocrisy. She fully owned it. 'I was married and stuff, and I thought we would be married forever, so I didn't think I was having kids in a broken home, but it happened.' The viral podcaster's self-awareness is cutting and tragically relatable for women who grew up under one set of assumptions only to live through a very different reality. The Divorce: Bobbi and Cory's Split Althoff's split from her now-ex-husband, Cory Althoff, was finalized earlier this year, following a July 4, 2023 separation. In a February Instagram statement announcing their divorce, Bobbi struck a tone of gratitude and mutual respect. 'As most of you have heard, Cory and I have filed for divorce,' she wrote. 'As sad as I am right now, I am so thankful for the time I got to be his wife. Our girls are so lucky to have him as a father & I am so lucky to be able to coparent with such an incredible father and person. While our relationship did not work out as husband and wife, we will always be friends and I will always love him.' The pair, who share two young daughters, continue to co-parent. But the marriage's collapse left Bobbi publicly reevaluating her image and values, especially as she now faces the likelihood of having more children in the future with different partners. The Drake Rumors: What Really Happened? Despite the amicable public breakup, Bobbi's divorce wasn't without speculation. A persistent rumor swirled in 2023 that the catalyst for the Althoffs' split was a rumored hookup between Bobbi and rapper Drake. The speculation ignited after her The Really Good Podcast interview with the Toronto rapper went viral, then mysteriously vanished. Not only was the interview abruptly deleted, but the two unfollowed each other on Instagram shortly after. That alone was enough for social media sleuths to erupt with theories about what might've happened behind the scenes. Althoff, for her part, shut it down. When Barstool Sports' Dave Portnoy messaged her on Instagram to ask whether the Drake rumor was true, she replied privately: 'I am not commenting publicly but off the record, you're right, that is not true.' Though the denial was clear, the internet continued to speculate. Bobbi's swift rise to podcast fame with high-profile guests and sharp editing had already turned her into a mysterious, deadpan It-girl. The Drake drama only added to the intrigue. The Mystery Man and Another Public Breakup Adding more fuel to the fire, Althoff appeared to 'soft launch' a new relationship on TikTok in December 2024, posting cryptic clips that hinted at a new romantic chapter. Online sleuths speculated that the man in question was NFL cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting of the Atlanta Cardinals. Murphy-Bunting quickly shot that rumor down, clarifying that the two were not dating. Althoff followed up with another announcement: she was single again. Watch the full interview with Lil Tjay on The Really Good Podcast. Bobbi's monologue begins around the 13-minute mark.

Is Tia Mowry a Single Mom? The Divorced Parent Responds to Backlash Over the Term
Recently, Tia Mowry typed a note to herself on her phone that read: 'Why do I get backlash for calling myself a single mom?' Mowry shared a screenshot of message in a candid Instagram carousel addressing the criticism she's received for using the term since splitting from her husband of 14 years, actor Cory Hardrict in 2022. The former couple share son, Cree, 14, and daughter, Cairo, 7. In her post, Mowry explained that being a solo parent, in her definition, doesn't mean 'doing it all alone without the father present in their kids' lives at all.' 'For me, in my household, I am SINGLE,' the 'Sister, Sister,' alum wrote. 'So I'm holding it down for everyone at home. I'm the only parent present day to day.' Reactions to Mowry's take were mixed, with some supporting her perspective and others arguing that the phrase should be reserved for women raising children entirely on their own. 'I'm a single woman, who co-parents. I reserve the term 'single mom' for someone who is without assistance,' one person commented. 'Single mom has generally meant a woman raising kids without a partner.' 'Validating!' 'If you file taxes as single, then you are a single parent — period' 'I think it's better to say you're a single woman, co-parenting." 'You are a single woman!!!!!' 'You are in fact, a single mom. Full stop.' 'A single mom is a woman who is raising her children in a single parent household. Just because she co parents doesn't make her any less of a single mom.' Stacie Martin, founder of Single Parent Advocate, highlights that experiences of single parenting can vary greatly. She shares that her ex was never involved in their children's lives. While acknowledging that parents with absent co-parents face different challenges than someone like Mowry, Martin emphasizes the importance of respecting each person's unique situation. 'Parenting for you might be hard because of a different set of factors than it was for me,' Martin tells 'But that doesn't make you any less of a single mom. We all face time contrasts and challenges when balancing our duties as single parents.' That's exactly the point Mowry was trying to make. 'What I want you to take from this: Being a single mom isn't one way or one story,' she concluded. 'There are so many nuances.' This article was originally published on Solve the daily Crossword

'Today' Show Star Announces Separation From Husband Of 12 Years
Dylan Dreyer, meteorologist for the 'Today' show, has announced that she and her husband of 12 years, Brian Fichera, are separating. 'For many years I have shared my family with you all―the highs and the lows. The ups and downs. And all of the blessings and beautiful memories in between,' Dreyer said in a statement she posted on her Instagram account on Friday. She added that she is 'incredibly grateful for the support and love you've given me throughout it all.' 'For that reason, I want to share with you that a few months ago, Brian and I made the decision to separate,' she said. 'We began as friends, and we will remain the closest of friends.' The two, who were married in 2012, share three children: Calvin, 8; Oliver, 5; and Russell, 3. Dreyer made a point to say the couple 'will continue to co-parent our three wonderful boys together with nothing but love and respect for one another.' 'Thank you as always for your support,' she said, before signing off. Dreyer's message had nearly 90,000 likes by Monday, though the comments on Instagram were turned off. Dreyer has routinely shared insight into her marriage with Fichera, who works as a cameraman and operator for NBC. In a interview in 2023, the meteorologist said that the two bond over golf, and try to talk through the challenges of parenting three small children. 'It's a lot of kid time. It's like, 'Brian, I need to take Oliver to the doctor. I need you to take Calvin to karate. I'll see you at dinner!'' Dreyer said at the time. 'I don't want to say it's had any negative impact on our relationship — we've only gotten stronger.' She also revealed in 2022 that the two mostly communicate through text due to their busy schedules. 'Our schedules mean we don't see each other much, but we text all the time,' Dreyer said, explaining that 'it's even easier to have an important or deep conversation via text because we get all our thoughts out without being interrupted.' 'We don't find it impersonal. In fact, just the opposite,' she said. 'We know each other well enough to understand each other's tone so a lot gets accomplished through texting!'

EXCLUSIVE Today host Dylan Dreyer announces shock separation from husband of 13 YEARS Brian Fichera
Today Show co-host and meteorologist Dylan Dreyer announced in a shock Instagram post Friday that she is separating from her husband of over a decade, Brian Fichera. She posted a long statement about the matter, beginning: 'For many years I have shared my family with you all - the highs and lows, the ups and downs, and all of the blessings and beautiful memories in between. 'I am incredibly grateful for the support and love you've given me through it all. For that reason, I want to share with you that a few months ago, Brian and I made the decision to separate. 'We began as friends, and we will remain the closest of friends. Most importantly, we will continue to co-parent our three wonderful boys together with nothing but love and respect for one another. 'Thank you as always for your support,' the message concluded. A source told Daily Mail that the separation is 'amicable.' 'Dylan and Brian remain best friends, and the separation is amicable. Their full focus is on their three small children,' they explained. She posted a long statement about the matter, beginning: 'For many years I have shared my family with you all - the highs and lows, the ups and downs, and all of the blessings and beautiful memories in between' The anchor, who hosts the third hour of Today, married Fichera, a freelance cameraman and producer, in 2012. Brian proposed in July 2011 while they were visiting her parents in Easton Massachusetts. The two met while working at NBC's Boston affiliate, WHDH, and tied the knot in the Bay State as well. They share three children together - sons Calvin 'Cal' Bradley, eigh, Oliver 'Ollie' George, five, and Russell 'Rusty' James, three. The last photo of Fichera that Dreyer had posted to her Instagram page was on June 15, in honor of Father's Day. The sweet snap showed a selfie of their entire family, as she joked that they went to a Boston Red Sox game - from the comfort of their own home, lovingly referring to her husband as 'Bri.' But strangely enough, it's the only photo of him that she's posted on social media within the past few months. Earlier this year, the NBC Earth Odyssey host also listed their New York City apartment for $2.5 million, per Realtor. According to the outlet, Dreyer and her husband bought the home in 2016 after they sold their Upper West Side co-op. The news comes after Dreyer opened up about the secret to a having a happy marriage in 2023, after almost 11 years into their union. For her and Brian, she said that having a shared hobby helps them get back to their happy place. 'Golf is the thing we do together. We have a couple of drinks, we laugh. We remember why we fell in love,' Dreyer told Today at the time. 'Then we go home and it's right back to family.' They have three young boys and while it is challenging, they feel that parenthood has only made their relationship stronger. 'It's a lot of kid time. It's like, "Brian, I need to take Oliver to the doctor. I need you to take Calvin to karate. I'll see you at dinner!"' Dreyer shared. 'I don't want say it's had any negative impact on our relationship — we've only gotten stronger.' They also emphasize the importance of communication in their relationship. 'My family can hold a grudge. If something is bothering us, we're like, "I'll talk to you later," and then we never address why we were upset in the first place,' Dreyer explained. 'Brian won't even let me be mad for 10 minutes. He's like, "Please just talk to me about you're upset so we can go back to having fun."'
