Following her win, Johnson returned for season 27 and she was paired with reality television star Joe Amabile. Despite continually receiving low scores and criticism from the judges, the pair was consistently saved by the viewers’ votes. They ultimately made it to the semi-finals of the competition where they finished in fifth place, tying with Juan Pablo Di Pace and Cheryl Burke.

For season 30, she was paired with dancer, singer, and YouTuber JoJo Siwa. They finished in second place overall behind Iman Shumpert and Daniella Karagach.

“Maybe some of you thought this was only a ‘body positivity’ post (which it is too) but more importantly it’s a BRAIN POSITIVITY post,” she explained. “It’s crazy how much effort and care we put into our physical bodies to keep them healthy and working… but why don’t we put that same effort into our brain?! And our mental health?!”“All I wanted to do was slow dance with my husband,” Johnson told PEOPLE at the time. “I’m sure many people expected a produced dance, but we wanted to keep it genuine and real.”

It’s been a big year for Johnson, who tied the knot with fellow Dancing with the Stars pro Chmerkovskiy in April.The couple, who got engaged in June 2018, said their “I do’s” in front of 200 of their closest friends and family during a romantic ceremony at a resort in Rancho Palo Verdes, California.When you visit the site, Dotdash Meredith and its partners may store or retrieve information on your browser, mostly in the form of cookies.

“[She] tried to cover herself up with a mask of makeup and that terrible flower crown,” Johnson continued. “Feared what people thought about her. Didn’t know who she was. Tried to be what other people wanted. Was afraid to look up!”On Thursday, the 25-year-old professional dancer shared before-and-after photos of herself on Instagram. “Pictured are two girls. And I LOVE both of them,” she captioned the images.

“Anyways, I’m grateful for both women pictured,” Johnson concluded her post. “Grateful for all that I’ve gone through. And I’M PROUD OF HOW FAR I’VE COME! And how HARD I’ve worked on both my physical and mental health!”

Johnson said that the news affected her relationship with dancing, and she said that she didn’t want to dance for a while because she was “so angry.” But she said it turned out to be a way for her to escape.“And immediately my heart just dropped. I could see in his face just went like, white,” Johnson said. “And I sprinted to our hotel room, and I lost the baby in our hotel room.” “He was my biggest support system while I was pregnant,” Johnson said about Chmerkovskiy. “So tender and sweet. Those exhausting, tired moments when you’re up at 4:00 a.m. together, and you’re like, ‘Oh my gosh, that’s my teammate, and he’s willing to do this with me.’” “Dancing With the Stars” pros and new parents Val Chmerkovskiy and Jenna Johnson are opening up about a miscarriage they had before welcoming their son, Rome, to the world in January.In July 2022, Chmerkovskiy and Johnson announced that they were expecting in an Instagram post. In her caption, Johnson called it, “Our biggest dream come true yet.” “We were in Dallas for a show, and while we were practicing, we did something, and I just turned to him. I’m like, ‘Oh, I’m — I think I’m bleeding,’” Johnson recalled. I’m a 27-year-old cis female entertainment writer from Canada. I write about movies and TV (and hopefully theatre someday) and you can check out my work via the links below!Jenna has spoken about her road to motherhood before. Days after confirming her pregnancy in July, the dancer shared a video of the moment she learned they were expecting baby Rome.

Jenna also sent a message to anyone else experiencing fertility struggles, adding, “It may not happen on your timeline and the journey may rip your heart open at times, but don’t give up on yourself and your precious baby! It will happen.”

Two months after welcoming baby boy Rome, the Dancing With the Stars couple reflected on their difficult road to parenthood, sharing that Jenna had previously suffered a miscarriage in 2021.”We were in Dallas for a show,” she recalled during a Good Morning America interview that aired March 30. “And while we were practicing, we did something and I just turned to him and I was like, ‘I think I’m bleeding.’ And immediately, just my heart dropped. I could see it in his face just went white. I sprinted to our hotel room, and I lost the baby in our hotel room.”The year after their heartbreaking experience, Jenna announced she was pregnant in July 2022, with her and Val welcoming Rome six months later in January. As for life with their little one?”I want to keep this moment very positive because there is so much to celebrate and my heart is overflowing with gratitude, BUT our journey getting to this point wasn’t an easy one,” she continued. “I remember watching people share these videos and aching because I wished so badly I could experience that joy. After two years of infertility, and hundreds of negative tests after negative tests, it was heart wrenching at times to stay optimistic and made me question whether I would ever have this opportunity.” Jenna added that she and Val kept news of the pregnancy loss private as “no one knew” they’d been expecting. And looking back, the 28-year-old remembered how the loss affected her and her passion for dance. “The rush of love I think definitely flooded me more in regards to my wife,” the 37-year-old said. “I’ve never loved her more. I’ve never appreciated her more.”

“He was my biggest support system while I was pregnant,” she told GMA. “So tender and sweet and those exhausting, tired moments when you’re up at 4 a.m. together and you’re like, ‘Oh my gosh, that’s my teammate and he’s willing to do this with me.'”Just prior to his divorce, Kevin Costner and his now-estranged wife, Christine Baumgartner, kicked out a houseguest who had gotten close with her, claims a new report.

Kevin owns three homes and the prenup, which was signed back in 2004, states that Christine must leave any property in the event of a split. Court documents noted that Kevin is willing to contribute $10,000 for her move and is open to paying $30,000 a month for a rental house as part of his child support obligations.

Rose argued that Lyle and Erik, who were 18 and 21 years old at the time of their 1993 trial, were “kids who had been molested since the age of preschool, fighting back and standing up, and people thought they just wanted the money. They had the money. They didn’t need the money. Money was not what it was about.””I could’ve fought it … but that’s more stress and drama. I got two misdemeanors and called it a day,” he said, even calling it a “learning experience.””I was just in party freaking mode,” he says of that time in his life when he and Carly called it quits. “Making movies, traveling, drinking. I wasn’t living the way I was raised, you know what I mean? I was not being a faithful husband, and I was not being the best me. I thought I would be able to go out and do whatever I wanted, have fun, come home and be a family man with my kids. That’s not how the real world works.”

“Rumer was so infatuated with Val when they won, she got this giant tattoo of them dancing together” said the insider, adding that she later felt foolish about the ink and started “undergoing this painful tattoo removal.”

“Just like rap, Black people started rap,” she responded. “So I went to go over there and tried to get in rap and go, ‘All these Black people, you know, go on Saturday Night Live like Dave Chappelle. I’m just saying a lot of Black people are in control of rap. Hello?’ Well, you went there. You tried to get in show business. Of course it’s Jewish. But you know, and people should be glad that it’s Jewish too, because if Jews were not controlling Hollywood, all you’d have was f****** fishing shows.”

“I am excited to explore as many songs as possible in hopes to give my fans the show they have been waiting for,” she said in a statement in January after announcing the tour.”So, we believe them now because of Roy from Menudo? Do we believe now because of the letter Erik sent his cousin eight months before the murder?” she asked. “It’s time. I believe them.”

In speaking to Glenn Close for Variety, Pete said, “I got diagnosed with BPD a few years ago, and I was always just so confused all the time, and just thought something was wrong, and didn’t know how to deal with it. Then, when somebody finally tells you, the weight of the world feels lifted off your shoulders. You feel so much better.””This Roseanne Barr clip was sarcasm folks,” he tweeted. “A clip taken out of a long sarcastic rant she had during our chat. Can we not recognize sarcasm anymore?”

“The man I have loved the most in my life, my father, was leaving me when I needed him the most. I couldn’t talk to him, or go to my best friend for the advice I needed so much,” she said.

“You can’t say that like, you know, the election was rigged or not rigged,” Roseanne, an avid supporter of Donald Trump, argued. “That’s all a lie. The election was not rigged. 36 counties can give you 81 million votes. That’s a fact.”Although Rumer and Val never technically dated, the Post’s source claims Rumer got frustrated with her feelings for Val when he got serious with Jenna, telling press he was he “in love” at the 2017 Industry Dance Awards and Cancer Benefit Concert in Los Angeles in August. (He previously dated Amber Rose, who was paired with his brother, Maksim, on “Dancing” in 2016; Amber and Val called it quits a few months later.)

Last summer, El Periodico reported that the Colombian singer dumped her partner of more than a decade after she caught him with another woman. The Spanish newspaper added that the soccer star then relocated from their family home to his bachelor pad in Barcelona. Shortly after, Shakira confirmed the acrimonious split.The source insisted that the “Saturday Night Live” funnyman is “taking a well deserved break so he can focus on himself and learn to better deal with his PTSD issues.” “He went to Barcelona to console me after I was consumed with sadness because of my separation,” the pop star said of her 91-year-old dad. “While he was at Milan’s first communion, he was gravely injured in an accident. Everything happened at once. My home was falling apart. I was finding out through the press that I had been betrayed while my dad was in the ICU.” A few months later, in March 2023, Pete and Chase were involved in a car accident in Los Angeles wherein the 29-year-old allegedly lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a house. The house has since been razed. In June, he was charged with one misdemeanor count of reckless driving. Police do not believed drugs or alcohol played a role in the crash.Page Six reported that the Material Girl was found unresponsive over the weekend and was subsequently rushed to a New York City hospital. There, she was reportedly intubated “for at least one night before having the tube removed.”

“The accusations against me made by individuals I met years, even decades, ago are categorically false,” he said in a statement at the time. “These stories could’ve been from 30 years ago or 30 days ago — no always means no — that is a line I did not cross. The encounters were consensual. It’s difficult not to question the timing of these stories coming out. I don’t know for certain why they are surfacing now, but I do know this: I did not assault these women.”

“This was not me running some shady scam deal or something — that’s just not me,” he said of his former involvement with a crypto company. While acknowledging that people lost money, he blamed the company for changing its “business model.”Chris, the report said, finds it particularly maddening that the “And Just Like That” crew “bent over backward” for Kim Cattrall’s cameo, especially given that she’s long had friction with SJP, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis. In Chris’ eyes, Kim’s celebrated return “makes their treatment of him stink even worse,” a source said.

After being hit with sexual assault allegations in 2021, Chris Noth became persona non grata among the “Sex and the City” cast and was reportedly “iced out.”

Cecily initially theorized that she was an unwelcome addition to the wedding because she and her sister reminded Duane too much of Beth. However, Bonnie said the rift was actually based on her support of Black Lives Matter and racial equality.

In 1993, four years after the slaying of José and Mary Louise Menéndez, Lyle and Erik were found guilty of murdering their parents. The brothers never denied the murders throughout the case, but defense attorneys essentially argued that the killings were an act of self defense after years of sexual abuse, largely at the hands of their father, who was an RCA Records executive at the time.

“For the last four years, this day was a terrible reminder of one of the greatest losses of my life. But God redeemed this day when I discovered my son Jon, who I just met recently, was born on this day. So now instead of sorrow, this day has a new meaning,” Dog wrote alongside a photo of Jon and his wife, Jodi.

While leading a “double life,” Zachery Ty Bryan was arrested in 2020 for felony strangulation after a fight with his girlfriend, Johnnie Faye Cartwright. Now the “Home Improvement” actor claims the whole thing was “blown out of proportion.”After Daniel — who founded the video game streaming service GameMine — signed a yearlong lease in June 2022, he and Christine “hung out a lot,” the source maintains, noting that she would visit the guesthouse “almost daily.”

By November 2017, however, Rumer’s excitement about her stint on the show — and, more specifically, her dancing relationship with Val, 31, — had apparently dimmed.Daniel ended his tenancy in March, three months before the lease was up. On June 21, TMZ approached Daniel in Ventura, California, as he was leaving a Starbucks where he said he “absolutely” did not “hook up” with Christine as some have implied. Daniel said he just tries “to be friendly to everybody” and had “a tenant landlord relationship [with them], nothing else.” “He has overcome COVID once, two accidents, one pneumonia and five surgeries — all of this at 91 years of age, in less than six months. My dad is the biggest example of resilience, and my mother has been by his side day and night,” she said. “They have both been a reflection of that dream that didn’t come true for me. But I hope they are role models for my kids of love, of patience in relationships, of absolute devotion and zest for life.” In responding to the comments, Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt tweeted, “Sarcasm or not, Roseanne Barr’s comments about Jews and the Holocaust are reprehensible and irresponsible. This isn’t funny. And shame on Theo Von for letting it go unchallenged and instead diving into conspiracy theories about Jews and Hollywood.”She’s reportedly having some lion skin art lasered off as well, possibly with the help of some sponsorship from LaserAway, which she plugged on social media in November.Amid speculation around her wellbeing, Madonna’s manager, Guy Oseary, confirmed the hospitalization but shied away from discussing the alleged intubation.

“He’s not invited to their parties,” a source told Radar Online, referring specifically to Sarah Jessica Parker and the rest of the cast. “He doesn’t get greeting cards or happy birthday texts. He wonders why SJP and her troupe continue to leave him out in the cold.”The “Bupkis” star’s life has taken several twists and turns over the past 12 months. Back in August 2022, he and Kim Kardashian broke up after nine months together. He then moved on with Chase.Pete, who’s firefighter father died in the 9/11 terror attacks, also caught flak from PETA over the past few weeks for purchasing a dog at a pet store, as opposed to adopting a pooch from a shelter. The dog was for Pete’s mother, who recently lost her previous pooch.Rosie O’Donnell has revealed that she’s been in contact with imprisoned murderer Lyle Menéndez and has grown “very close” to him — she also argues that both Lyle and his brother Erik Menéndez should be released from prison immediately.

“They were horribly abused by their parents, they did the unthinkable, which had been done to them day after day after day, and they paid the price for that,” she continued. “Free the Menéndez brothers.”

Back in 2021 — just days after the “Sex and the City” spinoff “And Just Like That” debuted — multiple women accused the actor of sexual assault. Chris vehemently denied the claims and said his sexual encounters were all consensual.

In speaking to People en Español, the pop star praised her father, William Mebarak Chadid, for headed to Barcelona to support her immediately after her split from Gerard, with whom she shares sons Milan, 10, and Sasha, 7.After watching the “Menéndez & Menudo: Boys Betrayed” documentary, in which former boy bander Roy Rosselló claims Jose molested him, Rosie connected with Lyle. Duane, though, quickly found love again. Ten months after Beth died, he got engaged to Francie Frane. They married in September 2021. Still, the wedding was not without its drama, as two of Dog’s children, Bonnie Chapman and Cecily Chapman, were left off the guest list. On June 5, “The King of Staten Island” actor left a visceral voicemail for PETA’s Senior VP of Cruelty Investigations. In that message, obtained by TMZ, Pete said he’s “severely allergic” to dogs so he has to get a cavapoo, a nearly hypoallergenic breed that doesn’t shed. During the foul-mouthed message, Pete accused the organization of “creating news stories” because it’s “boring” and “tired.”

“Daniel thought really highly of Kevin and thought he was an excellent father to his kids. But Kevin hit the roof and sided with his wife,” the insider claimed. “Ultimately, he wasn’t willing to hear Daniel out.”

Initially, the brothers were tried separately in court, but the trials ended in hung juries. They were later tried together, and both men were eventually convicted on two counts of second degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder. Afterward, a judge sentenced them to life in prison without the possibility of parole.About halfway through the tenancy, though, Daniel and Christine had a falling out, as the source alleged she “didn’t like [his] attitude towards their friendship” and “texted him and said she wanted him out.” Kevin caught wind of the acrimony and things supposedly escalated.

“Nobody died in the Holocaust,” she’s said on a recent episode of This Past Weekend with Theo Von. “That’s the truth. It should happen. Six million Jews should die right now ’cause they cause all the problems in the world, but it never happened.”

The Sun reported that tech titan Daniel Starr was living in Kevin and Christine’s $60,000-plus-a-month beachfront guesthouse in Carpinteria, California, but they wanted him out after a heated exchange. Following the disagreement, the “Yellowstone” star sent several legal letters and emails demanding Daniel leave.

“That’s the truth,” she continued. “And don’t you dare say anything against it. You’ll be off YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and all the other ones because we have, you know, there’s such a thing as the truth and facts and we have to stick to it.”
