Jana Duggar: I Was Too ‘Picky’ to Marry Stephen Wissmann the First Time!

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Being "a bit picky" in the past before reconsidering and marrying a guy is an unusual claim.

Is Jana Duggar calling her past self fickle?

Or is she saying that she lowered her standards enough to wed Stephen WIssmann?

It almost sounds like she's saying both. Take a look:

'I was a bit picky back in the day'

On Monday, February 16, Jana shared a V-Day photo with her husband. But the snap dates back to well before their wedding.

"Throwback to Valentine's Day five years ago," she wrote in the Instagram caption.

"Such a sweet memory!" Jana gushed, adding a heart-eyes emoji.

"Stephen and I dated a bit that year," she recalled, "and he even helped out with remodeling my family's playroom."

Jana concluded by writing that it was "Such a special time to look back on!"

Naturally, Jana's post received a flurry of comments.

In the Duggar world, dating is a foreign concept — as are breakups and reconciliations. (But then, so is marrying in your thirties)

"Do you ever wish you would have stayed together then?" asked one commenter.

"Looking back now… Yes!" Jana replied.

Her response continued: "I totally wish we would've gotten married years earlier! But was a bit picky back in the day."

Replying to a comment under her caption, Jana Duggar admits that she was "picky" about marriage when first dating her now-husband. Is she calling herself fickle, or did she lower her standards? (Image Credit: Instagram)

'I was rather picky on what I was looking for in a husband back then'

"Her dad made them break up so that she could take care of her brother's children, so sad," accused a different commenter.

"Wow! The things people come up with," Jana replied, laughing it off with an emoji.

"That is so not true," she clarified.

Jana reiterated her earlier comment: "Actually, I was rather picky on what I was looking for in a husband back then."

Just for the record, there is no shortage of awful things about Jim-Bob Duggar. He's an awful person. We don't need to speculate about possible bad things that he may have done.

Again calling her past self "picky," Jana Duggar claps back at disinformation. (Image Credit: Instagram)

In 2011, Jana and Stephen met for the first time — sort of. Their families had met and they even got snowed in together (in Arkansas!), but they didn't connect during this time.

However, from around 2020 through 2022, Jana and Stephen dated. We have to note that, in 2022, Jeremiah Duggar married Hannah Wissmann.

In early 2024, Jana and Stephen reconnected. This is apparently where she got over her alleged "pickiness."

The two got engaged in secret in June of that year. In August, as we reported (in advance — the clues were all there), they secretly married.

Within less than a year, she was pregnant. In December 2025, they welcomed their first child, Archie Gerald.

Is she really insulting her husband?

Normally, if you say that you were formerly "picky" but later reconsidered, you're saying that you lowered your standards.

However, it seems unlikely that Jana is intending to insult her husband. Especially given the toxic and sexist culture in which she was raised.

Instead, it seems more probable that Jana's intention is to disparage herself.

She's saying that she was previously "picky" and that she got over herself, essentially, to marry Stephen.

You know, Jinger recently discussed the harm that purity culture does to courtship — even from the perspective of a conservative Christian. She and Jeremy listed how unrealistic expectations (from people with no actual relationship experience) can get in the way.

It's possible that Jana is alluding to a similar concept. Either way, presumably she and Stephen are happy these days.

Robert Dorgan Identified as Rhode Island Hockey Rink Shooter, Allegedly Clashed With …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

On Monday, horrifying video of a shooting at a high school hockey game went viral on social media.

Now, new details about the incident — which left three dead, including the shooter — have emerged.

The suspect who allegedly opened fire at Dennis M. Lynch Arena in Pawtucket has now been identified as Robert M. Dorgan.

Authorities say two victims were killed, and the suspect died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Three other victims were wounded and rushed to a nearby hospital. They are expected to make full recoveries.

The alleged shooter has now been identified as Robert Dorgan, a truck driver whose most recent address was in Jacksonville, Florida.

Little is known about the perpetrator, but police believe the shooting was a targeted attack that stemmed from a family dispute.

The New York Post is reporting that Dorgan "shot his wife, three kids, and a family friend," but police have yet to confirm the identity of the victims.

It's important to note that we do not know the suspect's motives at this time.

But Fox News and other outlets are reporting that Dorgan — who sometimes went by the name Roberta Esposito — was recently involved in a messy divorce and met with disapproval from his family over his decision to identify as transgender.

In her first divorce filing from 2021, Dorgan's wife cited her reasons as "gender reassignment surgery, narcissistic and personality disorder traits" before later amending the grounds to "irreconcilable differences."

The year prior, Dorgan contacted North Providence police and claimed that his father-in-law had tried to force him out of his home due to his decision to undergo gender reassignment surgery.

The Post is reporting that Dorgan expressed his frustration with anti-trans rhetoric on X (formerly Twitter) one day before the shooting.

In response to a tweet in which actor Kevin Sorbo referred to US Rep. Sarah McBride as a man, Dorgan wrote:

"Keep bashing us. But do not wonder why we go BERSERK."

Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves said in a statement that the shooting "looked like it was a family dispute."

"My father was the shooter," a woman leaving the facility remarked, according to the Post.

She went on to claim that he was plagued by "mental health issues."

"He shot my family, and he's dead now," she said, adding that he was "very sick."

We will further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Shia LaBeouf Hospitalized, Arrested In New Orleans After ‘Terrorizing City’ …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Well, Shia LaBeouf is back in the news.

And just like the last 100 or so times he made headlines, it's not for anything good.

LaBeouf has battled substance abuse issues for years, and it seems his demons got the best of him this week during a trip to New Orleans for the city's world-famous Mardi Gras celebrations.

The actor started his celebrations ahead of schedule with a Fat Monday celebration.

And it seems he started to get violent after becoming rather inebriated in a bar.

According to a police report obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, staff at Ms. Mae's "ejected" Shia, alleging that he was "causing a disturbance" and getting increasingly "aggressive" with other patrons.

He left, but then returned "acting even more aggressive." As you might've guessed, things continued to go downhill from there.

Shia allegedly attacked another man in the bar — it's unclear if he was staff or a patron — and had to be restrained while a bartender called the police.

According to a statement from the New Orleans Police Department:

"Multiple people attempted to hold [LaBeouf] down — he was eventually let up in hopes that he would leave — but he reportedly again struck the same victim with closed fists to the victim's upper body.

"LaBeouf then reportedly assaulted another person — punching him in the nose. LaBeouf was again held down until police arrived."

LaBeouf was taken to placed under arrest and taken to a nearby hospital to be treated for minor injuries he sustained in the fight.

It seems that he has now been released from custody, but it's not clear if he was forced to post bail.

Staff at Ms. Mae's say the trouble began when LeBeouf tried to play "celebrity bartender" despite their repeated warnings to remain out of the areas marked "staff only."

If his shenanigans had ended there, he probably wouldn't be in the tabloids today.

But according to multiple New Orleans residents, Shia's behavior has been growing increasingly erratic in the days leading up to his arrest.

"He is terrorizing the city!" one bartender told THR.

The trouble reportedly began back on Thursday night, when Shia popped up at the jazz club Dos Jefes, where he promptly succeeded in making a nuisance of himself.

"He was louder than everyone and was giving acting instructions to a girl at the bar," said one patron.

In multiple photos, Shia can be seen walking the streets of New Orleans shirtless, his large back tattoo honoring his child with Mia Goth on full display.

We'll have to wait and see if Shia is in attendance at today's Mardi Gras parades. Though a veteran in the world of hard-partying, it seems he may have made the rookie mistake of pre-gaming much too hard.

Pedro Pascal & Rafael Olarra Spark Speculation with Cozy V-Day Weekend Stroll, Lunch, …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

There seem to be few things that fans love more than Pedro Pascal dating speculation.

He's an A-list actor. He's a famously good person.

And he's also one of the most desired men on the planet.

Over Valentine's Day weekend, he went around New York getting touchy-feely with Rafael Olarra.

It's not dinner-and-a-movie, but it's close

TMZ reports that Pascal and Olarra appeared to be sightseeing in New York over Valentine's Day weekend.

Not necessarily on the day itself, however.

On Sunday, February 15, the two took an apparent tour of the Lower East Side.

Photos show Olarra with his arm around Pascal as they make their way in the obvious cold. (You can see how bundled up they both were, though Pascal seemed to feel it a bit more)

The two also sat down to lunch together that same day.

— TMZ (@TMZ) February 16, 2026

At some point after lunch, Pascal and Olarra sat down in the theater to watch Wuthering Heights.

Emerald Fennel's adaptation of the 19th Century novel by Emily Brontë has been controversial, for both good and bad reasons.

(In general, Fennel comes from money in a very British way, and this tends to be a useful lens through which to understand her work and her creative choices)

This adaptation stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi. Though these are both attractive, talented actors, is Wuthering Heights the ideal film to see over Valentine's Day weekend?

That's going to depend upon who's seeing it, and what kind of mood you want to be in after the film. Whatever the answer, it's too late now.

Lunch and a movie on Valentine's Day weekend … what does it mean?

Over the past couple of years, wild speculation has attempted to link Pascal to two famous blonde women.

In early 2024, he and Jennifer Aniston held hands on the red carpet.

He displayed similar PDA with Vanessa Kirby as the two promoted Fantastic Four: First Steps last summer.

However, no evidence of actual romantic entanglements with either ever came of it.

And, to be honest, they looked more like PR stunts between fellow professionals who get along very well. (If you've ever had an easy rapport with friends only for people to suspect that you were dating, you know how it goes)

A post shared by Pedro Pascal he/him (@pascalispunk)

Would it surprise you to learn that Pascal has never publicly confirmed any romantic relationship?

In fact, he's been very deliberate about keeping his personal life, including dating, separate from his career.

When Pascal speaks in public, it's about work or using his platform to make the world a better place.

We have all watched as public scrutiny causes a relationship to wither and die in the spotlight.

Pascal has seen this, too. He doesn't want that for himself. And why would he?

Who is Rafael Olarra?

First and foremost, we need to emphasize that this is not the soccer player Rafael Olarra. Two men can have the same name.

Rafa's last reported romantic entanglement was with Luke Evans, the Welsh singer and actor. (If you don't recognize his name, you'd definitely recognize his face.)

He and Evans split in 2021. They had, at that time, bee dating for a little over a year.

Is it possible that he and Pascal are dating? Sure. Many things in this world are possible.

But as anyone with a normal social life can tell you, it's also entirely possible for friends to see films and eat meals together without romance.

So, for now, we'll avoid jumping to conclusions. But we hope that both of these handsome guys had a great weekend!

Michael Jordan Under Fire for ‘Inappropriately’ Touching Child in …

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Everyone's asking the same question:

What in the world is Michael Jordan doing?

A short video clip appears to show the 62-year-old basketball legend having a "creepy" interaction with a child.

In the video, he appears to touch the boy from behind. What's happening?

WTF is going on?

In the video clip that you can see below, Jordan appears to reach out to touch a young boy, or at least his clothing, from behind.

After touching the boy's shirt and pants, he then appears to touch the boy's leg.

The boy hardly seems to reach except to briefly turn around, looking unfazed.

Descriptions probably do not do the video justice — some people see a familiar gesture of trying to help a boy with his clothes.

Others see a predatory act — one carried out brazenly and in the public eye.

— BrickCenter (@BrickCenter_) February 16, 2026

To be clear, there's nothing happening here that resembles a grope.

There is also no genital contact, no sign of even an attempt to reach underneath clothing.

However, that did not stop the video from circulating across social media on multiple platforms.

Replies describe the video as "creepy," as "bizarre," and as "inappropriate."

Some took to greater extremes, posting memes suggesting a threat of violence against the NBA icon.

Maybe there's a much more normal explanation for what's happening

Is Jordan just being playful here with the child?

Actually, a lot of people believe that he's trying to help the kid.

From the video, it appears that the boy's shirt is wet — perhaps from a spilled beverage or simply water.

What would you do — especially if you are a parent and a grandparent — if you saw a kid with soaking wet clothes?

Well, you might reflexively reach out to try to help, such as by un-sticking the wet clothes from the kid's skin.

Additionally, others pointed out that most actual predators tend to be more circumspect.

Most predators work to conceal their true nature in addition to their crimes, particularly when out in public.

Only someone who believes that they cannot face consequences is likely to simply reach out and touch someone, be they an adult or a child, with predatory intentions.

(This feeling of immunity can extend to the rich and powerful and also to men whose depravity is normalized in the culture and defended by the likes of Megyn Kelly)

Right now, even the wealthiest men on the planet know that groping a kid on camera could make them public enemy #1. Which makes it seem more likely that Jordan was simply helping a kid, and didn't imagine anyone perceiving his actions otherwise.

That explanation makes a lot of sense, but …

It is much more reasonable to assume that Jordan was reflexively helping a kid out, and the idea that there are predatory adults out there who might touch a child inappropriately was the furthest thing from his mind.

However, we can acknowledge that the touch appears to be somewhat inappropriate. Not because he touched him 'inappropriately," but because he could have asked first.

It is almost always best to ask permission before touching someone. Yes, that includes children. Children are people.

Unfortunately, this is only the latest incident of people taking non-sexual, non-predatory photos and videos of famous people and children and attempting to reframe them as something sinister.

Yes, there are evil men who prey upon children. We should keep things in perspective: most sexual predators do not believe that they are untouchable, and keep their crimes a secret. And their victims are usually within their own families.

Jelly Roll Recalls ‘Horrible’ Sex Life With Bunnie Xo Pre-Weight Loss: …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

If you've seen a photo of Jelly Roll lately, then we probably don't need to tell you that the man has lost a lot of weight in recent months.

In fact, he's slimmed down so much that he might need to change his stage name to a healthier treat — but Fruit Plate doesn't have the same ring to it.

Anyway, Jelly Roll is not shy when it comes to talking about his weight loss, and the many ways in which it's made his life better — including in the bedroom.

Jelly Roll makes candid, NSFW confession to Joe Rogan

During a recent appearance on Joe Rogan's wildly popular podcast, Jelly Roll revealed that at one point, his weight ballooned to 550 pounds.

And it seems that the resultant health issues prevented him from having sex with his wife, model Bunnie Xo.

"My sex life was horrible," the singer told Rogan, adding:

"I couldn't even get aroused, I was so big. Dude, I married a f–king big-t-ttied, blond, beautiful woman, you know what I mean?" he told Rogan proudly.

"I married the kind of woman that makes you smile when you cry."

Jelly Roll maintained his famous sense of humor while discussing his past struggles, joking that he was "having to play Twister to have sex."

"Left foot here, right foot on the X," he cracked. "Are we in there yet? Tell me if you feel something," he said with a laugh, adding:

"I mean, it was bad."

During his wide-ranging conversation with Rogan, Jelly Roll also discussed his past struggles with substance abuse.

"I realized that in addiction, the family will kind of cater to the addict," he said.

"It's nature. Like if somebody in your family was a drug addict you would help with their kids, you would feel a need to help in their absence — it's what we do as a family, it's human nature."

"I realized then how much my addiction was hurting this family."

The Tennessee native has developed a reputation for candor, especially after his recent admission that he cheated on Bunnie during one of the lowest points of his addiction.

During a recent appearance on his wife's podcast, Jelly Roll described himself as feeling like a "zombie" in his former life.

"I'm sorry it took so long," he said, referring to his change in lifestyle. "I cannot believe I walked around like a 550-pound zombie for years. I even look back at the pictures, and I was just hollow."

As Mr. Roll is fond of saying, what's ahead of you is so much more important than what's behind you — and we're sure he and his family have many wonderful years in store.

Jessica Alba Divorced: Custody, Support Details Revealed in Official Docs

Reading Time: 3 minutes

It is officially over for Jessica Alba and Cash Warren.

According to documents recently obtained by TMZ, the former spouses finalized their divorce earlier this month.

By all accounts, it really is an amicable as these kinds of splits can be.

The exes will reportedly share joint custody of all three children; and neither will pay any spousal support. Per the celebrity gossip outlet, Warren will receive $3 million to even out the division of their assets.

Alba and Warren exchanged vows in May 2008 and went on to welcome three kids: daughter Honor in June 2008, daughter Haven in August 2011 and son Hayes in December 2017.

The actress filed for divorce in early 2025.

"I've been on a journey of self realization and transformation for years – both as an individual and in partnership with Cash," Alba wrote shortly afterward.

"I'm proud of how we've grown as a couple and in our marriage over the last 20 years and it's now time for us to embark on a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals.

"We are moving forward with love and kindness and respect for each other and will forever be family. Our children remain our highest priority and we request privacy at this time."

Just over a year ago, the pair listed its date of separation as December 27, 2024.

Based on legal papers made available at the time, the two asked the court to determine which items were community property and needed to be divided between them.

Neither side has said much about the basis for the break-up in the many months since.

But one anonymous insider did speak to Us Weekly about it.

"They have had many ups and downs as any marriage would after being together for so many years," the source told this tabloid in January 2025. "They have tried therapy and have worked out past issues over the years."

Added this individual:

"There were trust issues in the past which led to many arguments…

"They are good parents and partners in business together but lost their spark and grew apart. Jessica and Cash made the decision together that this was no longer working or healthy for anyone."
