🗞 Top Stories of the Week 🗞
🍼 Pandemic Baby Boom Hits Again
And this time, it’s our girl Halsey who is with child! She announced the good news on Instagram, of course. Halsey’s been vocal about her previous miscarriages also, so it’s exciting to see some good baby news from her. She’s been dating her boyfriend for a few months now but they’ve been laying low. Mazel tov to the couple!
🎵 Selena’s Spanish Album Is Finally Here
After literal years of waiting (she posted back in 2011 that she was working on a Spanish album), Selena Gomez is releasing her first Spanish album, REVELACIÓN, on March 12! Congratulations to all Selena fans (of which she has many, as one of the most followed people on Instagram). She released the debut single last week and honestly, it’s pretty good.
👀 Cheater, Cheater
Rumors have spreading like wildfire this week that ARod, beloved fiancé of JLo among other things, is a cheater cheater pumpkin eater. ARod’s been accused of cheating on multiple of his past partners, but a lot of us really thought JLo could’ve been the one (not me). How did the cheating rumors come out this time? From a Bravo celebrity out of all people! One of the Southern Charm celebrities, Madison LeCroy, made some comments alluding to her and ARod having a relationship in the past. Now, Instagram sleuths have found that ARod follows Madison and a bunch of other beautiful influencers on Instagram, likes a lot of their pictures, and apparently slides into a few DMs. Yeesh. Hopefully JLo is going through his Instagram right now, because that would be a really sad break up.
