Matthew Davis is enjoying his life as the proud dad of two!

On Tuesday, April 30, 2024, the American actor, who cannot be regarded as an avid social media user, took to his relatively new Instagram handle to share some cute updates regarding his two children, both of whom are girls.

He first posted a black-and-white picture in which he was seen taking a mirror selfie while sitting on a couch. Meanwhile, his daughters – Ripley Nightingale Davis and Dorothy Lavender Davis – seemed to be playing around him.

In the caption, Matthew mentioned that he had a last-minute fitting on Saturday, April 27, for his role in the upcoming NBC drama Grosse Pointe Garden Society. However, he couldn’t get a sitter to care for his girls while he was gone for his fitting.

Thankfully, Matthew’s failure to find a good sitter for his kids turned out to be an awesome experience for his daughters. He decided to take his girls with him to the Assembly Studios in Atlanta, the city’s newest and most expansive studio complex.

He wrote, “Had a last minute fitting on Saturday and couldn’t get a sitter in time. Which turned into an awesome first for my girls. Getting to take them to the new Assembly Studios in Atlanta was such a great experience for us!”

While concluding his caption, he thanked NBC Universal and Grosse Pointe Garden Society for his moment. “Thank you so much #NBCUniversal & #GrossePointeGardenSociety for this moment!” his exact words read.

Around an hour after making the initial Instagram post, Matthew took to the same platform to make another post. This time, he shared a colored picture after completing his fitting for the recently announced NBC drama, Grosse Pointe Garden Society.

In the picture, he is seen donning a police uniform, revealing that he will be playing the role of a police officer in the NBC drama. Likewise, the actor was seen alongside his two daughters, donning identical pink-colored outfits.

“Had to call in backup!” Matthew wrote, keeping his caption rather short, followed by hashtags of “GrossePointeGardenSociety” and “NBCUniversal.” He also posted the same picture on his Instagram story and wrote, “On set with the kids. #BlessedLife.”

Overall, it seems like The Vampire Diaries alum relishes all the time he gets with his children before his schedule gets busy. Besides Grosse Pointe Garden Society, Matthew’s IMDb profile reveals he has another upcoming project, Blunt, where he will play the role of Matt Reynolds.

Coming over to Matthew’s kids, he became a father for the first time on March 31, 2020, when his now-former wife, Kiley Casciano, gave birth to a daughter, Ripley. The actor had announced the good news in a now-deleted Instagram post.

He wrote, “Ripley Nightingale Davis. Born March 31st 9:51pm. 7lbs. Blond hair, Blue eyes, Mom’s beautiful face. Thank you everyone for all your love and support. Let’s hope she doesn’t have my Dyslexia.”

On January 24, 2022, Matthew and Kiley became parents for the second time in their lives when they welcomed their second daughter, Dorothy. Kiley announced the news, writing, “Dorothy Lavender Davis – 01. 24. 2022. I love you @immatthewdavis.”

As of this writing, Matthew and Kiley have already ended their marital relationship and share joint custody of their children, as stated in their divorce settlement of February 2024. The now-former couple got engaged on December 23, 2018, and married on the same day.

John Henry Spurlock is getting candid about his split from his girlfriend-turned-fiancée, Kat Izzo, aka Katherine Izzo.

On Wednesday, April 24, 2024, the Bachelor in Paradise alum appeared as a guest on the Almost Famous podcast, co-hosted by popular Bachelors Ben Higgins and Ashley Iaconetti. While on the podcast, Spurlock revealed that it was a long story.

Firstly, he stressed that when he started his professional career as a commercial diver known for underwater welding, he had promised himself that he would be dedicated to his profession for ten years and then only prioritize a romantic relationship.

However, he later appeared on reality dating shows, eventually met Izzo, fell in love with her, and got engaged to her. All these events derailed Spurlock’s seemingly predetermined future plans.

He told the podcast co-hosts Higgins and Iaconetti that he frequently moved around a lot looking for jobs. “I told her, as of right now, my career is not relationship friendly. She knew that. But I was like, my plan is to get out of it anyways,” he added.

Spurlock continued, “Things were going really well. Now, I have this job and then I get in this relationship. Then now it’s like, OK, I have to start figuring out what I’m going to do, how I’m going to make this transition to a career that is going to be a lot easier for me and her to work with.”

“It just caught me by surprise. Now I’m starting to stress out about how I’m going to make this move,” he stated, mentioning that whenever he thought about what was next for him and Izzo, he had doubts and noticed their differences more, which became “really hard” for him.

The reality TV star said, “So, I started to have my doubts. Then, I started to see our differences a lot more. So, things just really got hard for me. It got to a point where it was just extremely hard for the both of us. Then basically, I called it quits.”

Spurlock added, “I said, this doesn’t feel right. I think this should be a lot easier than what it is, and it just, it wasn’t the case. I just started thinking to myself, maybe this just isn’t for me. Once I got that in my head, it just kind of spiraled from there.”

Moreover, he said that his mental health wasn’t in a good place at the time. He also revealed that his now-former partner, Izzo, was caught off guard by his decision. But despite their breakup, he claimed that he was still on good terms with Izzo and had only positive things about her.

The 31-year-old North Carolina native stated, “Kat is amazing. She really is something special. She’s not my longest relationship, but Kat’s a catch. I’ll tell you, she definitely did her part. Distance is hard for everybody.”

“When she loves, she gives it her all, and she did everything that she needed to do and then some in order to try to make our relationship work,” Spurlock concluded his statement.

Speaking briefly of Kat Izzo and John Henry Spurlock’s relationship, they met on Bachelor in Paradise season 9. Fast forward to the season finale, they decided to get engaged despite previously having concerns about how fast things were moving between them.

As time passed, those concerns grew, eventually leading to Spurlock’s decision to break up his engagement with Izzo. The newly engaged duo announced their breakup on December 11, 2023, just days after the finale aired.

Jon Gosselin, whose full name is Jonathan Keith Gosselin, gained fame for his appearance on the American reality TV show Jon & Kate Plus 8.

He is now eager to return to TV without his children’s involvement. On April 25, 2024, the 47-year-old IT analyst attended the Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Clinic opening in West Hollywood, California.

While there, he briefly entertained the guests through his DJing skills and then talked with People Magazine about his possible return to the TV screen soon. During his conversation with the outlet, he mentioned that he had recently met with some TV people.

He stated, “I’ve always been open to television, but I was indemnified by TLC, so I couldn’t sign a contract. But that’s all in the wayside now.” Jon also added that he wanted to make this kind of move only after his children were older.

Speaking of his kids, he said he wants his second TV run to be solo and doesn’t want to involve them again. “I’m not going to involve them and stuff like that as well, no. It’s just like, I worked really hard to get them off TV,” he stated.

However, the reality TV star added that his children have grown up, and whether they want to appear on television depends on them. His statement read, “But they’re adults now—if they want to make their own decision, they can.”

As Jon continued, he shared some brief details on his new show, revealing that the series would be about “DJing, clubbing, and all that kind of stuff.” As of now, he has been DJing for almost a decade, and so far, his children haven’t caught one of his club sets.

He said that the sextuplets are still too young for the 21-and-over venues, and he doesn’t work in New York, where his two children – Mady and Cara – currently reside. However, that’s not the only reason Jon’s children haven’t seen their dad work the DJ table live.

He told People, “I don’t think my kids will see me. They don’t want me acting a fool like, ‘Oh, that’s your dad?’ I’m like, nah. It’s so weird. This is my career.”

Jon then moved to his current personal life. He answered if he wanted to welcome children with his present girlfriend, Stephanie Lebo, as he recently revealed that he is planning to propose to her sometime within the following year.

He answered, “No, I’m 47. She’s 36. Yeah, we just want to enjoy life,” adding that Lebo’s 14-year-old daughter lives with them. “It’s really nice. I’ve never had one kid before, so I’m learning as well,” he continued.

“So it’s very different, but it’s cool to see Collin and Hannah be the big brother and big sister, because they never had that. So they’re mentoring her as well, so it’s very interesting,” he concluded his statement.

Before Jon started dating his current girlfriend, he was previously in a marital relationship with his now-former wife, Kate Gosselin (née Kreider). The formerly married duo met on October 5, 1997, during a company picnic.

They eventually began dating and got married on June 12, 1999. A little over a year later, on October 8, 2000, the now-divorced couple welcomed twin daughters: Cara Nicole Gosselin and Madelyn “Mady” Kate Gosselin.

After welcoming twins, the two were initially against having another child but ultimately decided to try again. On May 10, 2004, Jon and Kate’s family of four expanded into a much bigger one as Kate gave birth to sextuplets.

Among Jon and Kate’s sextuplets were sons Aaden Jonathan Gosselin, Collin Thomas Gosselin, Joel Kevin Gosselin, and daughters Alexis Faith Gosselin, Hannah Joy Gosselin, and Leah Hope Gosselin. The sextuplets were born ten weeks premature.

The formerly married couple’s journey was later filmed for two one-hour specials – Surviving Sextuplets and Twins and Sextuplets and Twins: One Year Later – and they initially aired on the Discovery Health Channel before being moved to TLC.

After being picked up by TLC, the one-hour specials became a full-fledged TV show titled Jon & Kate Plus 8. Jon and Kate’s split was announced on the June 22, 2009, episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8, and the divorce proceedings were finalized on December 18, 2009.

The court granted Kate primary custody of their eight children and ownership of the family home. Furthermore, following Jon and Kate’s divorce, TLC renamed the show Kate Plus 8, focusing more on Kate as a divorced mother raising the children.
