Krystal Nielson Opens up about Her Divorce, Remarriage, and More Kids
Know what Krystal had to say!
Bachelor fans first met with Krystal Nielson when she joined the 22nd season of The Bachelor. And though she got eliminated in week six, she returned in Bachelor in Paradise season 5 — which she ultimately won.
By the end of Bachelor in Paradise season 5, Nielson had found love in fellow contestant Chris Randone, and they had gotten engaged. After a few months, they moved in together to San Diego, California.
And during Bachelor in Paradise season 6, on June 16, 2019, the engaged couple got married. However, their marital relationship didn’t even last a year, as the two filed for divorce on February 14, 2020. They were yet to welcome offspring.
After their divorce, Nielson again found love in her new boyfriend, Miles Bowles. They went public with their relationship on October 30, 2020, and less than a fortnight later, on November 11, they announced that they were expecting their first child together.
On November 25, the couple revealed they would have a baby girl. And on March 31, 2021, Nielson gave birth to their beautiful daughter, Andara Rose.
Returning to Nielson’s divorce, the reality TV star was yet to speak further about it. Similarly, she hadn’t talked much about her current relationship and if there was a marriage on the line. But that was until now.
Nielson was the recent guest on the Talking It Out with Bachelor Nation podcast. During her appearance, she talked about multiple things, including her divorce, if she would get married again, and having more kids with her boyfriend. Here is a look!
Krystal Nielson on her divorce with ex-husband Chris Randone
During the podcast, co-hosts Mike Johnson and Bryan Abasolo had asked Nielson what it was like to go through a divorce, that too, in the public eye. In reply, she said that it was really scary.
She continued, “The divorce was tough because I felt that going on ‘Paradise’ and finding someone, there was so much love and attention. There was so much celebration around our relationship, and I told myself that being in a relationship means I’m loved, but by myself I’m a villain.”
“Deciding to divorce, I was really afraid that outside of that relationship, I would be the villain again. I thought that I wouldn’t be loved or accepted and seen as a failure. For a long time, we battled on if we were going to split and if we were going to be ready.”

Nielson said the divorce was scary and hard for her and Randone. “It was on Valentine’s Day 2020, and then just a couple of weeks later, the pandemic happened and everything shut down,” she added.
“That was really tough, and I didn’t know what to say because I wanted to be respectful of my ex and honor both of our grieving of what was. Inviting the public in, because they were so invested in our relationship, was really challenging to navigate.”
She then said that she needed privacy but still felt this duty to share that with all the fans of the show. “It was really tricky, so I really pulled back for a while because I wasn’t sure what to say.”

In the same podcast, Nielson also shed some light on whether or not she will get married to her boyfriend, Miles Bowles.
In reply, she candidly said, “There’s so much around getting a ring and getting married, but in this relationship, we’ve done everything a little backward. We had a baby and we’ve done everything in our own way.”
“There have been moments where I want the ring and think about how it’s a token of showing your love. But I’ve had to really dive into that and remember that a material object doesn’t define someone’s love for me.”
Nielson then mentioned that love, in her view, is showing up for her and being there for her. “Being committed, that is love. With society, there’s so much pressure around marriage to prove love, and there is something so beautiful about that commitment, so I don’t want to take away from it and I do look forward to it.”
She added that she must remember that a material object like a ring doesn’t validate her self-worth. And even if she shares the wedding vows with her boyfriend, she is “torn between having a big wedding and just eloping.”
Nielson continued, “Honestly, I don’t really know. It will be a conversation with Miles to figure out what’s important to us. However it will be, it will be perfect. I’m not going to be that bride who’s going to stress out about all the little things.”
The reality TV star then guessed that she would probably have an intimate wedding with a simple ceremony and only close people attending it. She said, “I think what’s important is the unity and having the most important people there.”
“It doesn’t have to be a show for anyone else. I don’t need to spend years paying off a party, it doesn’t make sense to me. I would so much rather buy a house! I don’t need that. We just need good pictures and I’m good,” she added.
As the conversation seemed to be ending, the co-hosts asked Nielson if she was looking forward to having more children in the future, and her reply was optimistic as she loves being a mother.
“I can’t wait to do it again. And now, to have the wisdom I have, for my next pregnancy, I am going to enjoy it so much more and be so much more present. I will lean into my partner, ask for support and ask for help when I need it rather than take on everything by myself,” she concluded.

Britnee Kellogg Releases New Music Video with Empowering Women
The singer’s music video for ‘She’s Come a Long Way’ features several strong women.
Britnee Kellogg is a talented country music singer who gained fame due to her appearance in seasons 11 and 12 of American Idol. Recently, she released the music video for ‘She’s Come a Long Way,’ which not only has good music but also good lyrics and a powerful message.
She premiered the music exclusively through People’s magazine and the music video included powerful women from her home state of Oregon who have made their way through extreme challenges.
Kellogg collaborated with Autumn McEntire on this song, who ironically turned out to be the niece of the person she idolizes the most. In a recent interview with People, she mentioned, “Reba McEntire is the love of my life. She’s the first cassette tape I ever owned. She has always been a huge inspiration for me musically.”
It was like fate that she met Autumn a few years back and got to work with her. “When I first met her several years ago, I knew her last name was McEntire, but that’s kind of a common last name,” says Kellogg.
She continues the conversation by saying, “I guess I never asked her until she posted something about having a cut on her aunt’s record and I was like, ‘Excuse me, you never told me this?!’ It made me respect her even more that she doesn’t go around bragging that she’s Reba’s niece. I think that says a lot about her character.”
The women in Britnee Kellogg’s ‘She’s Come a Long Way’
The music video for ‘She’s Come a Long Way’ started with a woman introducing herself as 44-year-old Alexis, who is currently a senior director of Accounting. She also revealed that she’s a mother of 5 children and a breast cancer survivor.
The video then went on to introduce other powerful women, like 30-year-old Erica, a nurse who is in high demand. Then, Nikki was introduced, a 49-year-old layout engineer who survived a life-changing injury.

Next came Lisa, who is a special education teacher and a teen mother, followed by 37-year-old Mikeisha, who is a personal shopper, boutique owner, healthcare leader, and a wife and a mother.
The video also included 52-year-old Tracie, who is a property manager, and Slumberkins founders Kelly and Callie. The last person to be introduced was Angela, the co-founder of I Am Foster Kid.
Kellogg created this music video to honor how they’ve come a long way and still have much to do. She wanted to leave a very powerful message so that every woman is inspired by what they are doing.

Kim’s three sons from her previous relationship have also become integral to the Orton family. Robbie, the eldest of the three, was born in 2004 and is now 19. Michael, born in 2002, is the second-oldest at 21.
The youngest of Kim’s sons is Antony, born in 2010 and currently 13 years old. Despite coming from different backgrounds, all five children have found a loving and supportive environment within their blended family.
Randy has embraced the role of a stepfather to Kim’s sons, creating a strong familial bond that transcends traditional definitions.
Kim Orton’s whole family loves wrestling
The Orton family’s love for wrestling runs deep, a passion that precedes their blended union. Even before marrying the wrestling icon Randy, Kim was an avid fan of WWE and the sport itself.
She often joked with her friends and family about her dreams of meeting and marrying the legendary superstar one day. When Kim and Randy’s paths eventually crossed, their shared enthusiasm for wrestling created an instant connection.
Although Randy had yet to meet Kim’s sons from her previous relationship, the boys were already well-acquainted with his profession and accomplishments within the wrestling world.
In a 2019 interview with WWE, Randy fondly recalled, “When I first met them, now they are huge wrestling fans, like there’s old pictures of them before I knew them wearing Jeff Hardy stuff, doing Halloween, and it’s really great [expletive], like they’re really huge fans.”
This love for wrestling transcends generations within the Orton household. Even their youngest child, Brooklyn Rose, born in 2016, has developed an unwavering passion for the sport at an early age.
With Randy being a wrestling icon himself, it’s no surprise that his daughter has been captivated by the wrestling world since she entered it.
Kim Orton’s husband loves bonding with his stepsons
As a future WWE Hall of Famer, Randy’s finisher, the iconic RKO, has become a cultural phenomenon, with fans eagerly anticipating its delivery and sharing their excitement through the viral “#RKOOuttaNowhere” hashtag.
Away from the ring, he finds joy in his blended family with his wife Kim and their five children. His paternal bond with his stepsons shines through within this loving household, exemplified by their playful interactions and shared appreciation for wrestling.
In one memorable instance, while the family was enjoying quality time by the pool, he, true to his “Viper” persona, caught his elder stepson off guard with a classic RKO maneuver, much to everyone’s delight and laughter.
Months later, the tables turned when the family gathered again near the pool. This time, Orton’s stepson delivered the ultimate surprise, executing a flawless RKO on the unsuspecting Apex Predator himself.
Even the veteran wrestler couldn’t help but be caught off guard by his stepson’s sneaky move, a testament to their bond and the lessons he has imparted.
Kim Orton’s relationship with Randy Orton
Kim and Randy’s relationship is a true love story that blossomed from a chance encounter at a wrestling event 2012. Already a fan of Randy’s work, Kim caught his eye while cheering him on with her sons.
Their initial meeting was nothing short of serendipitous. Kim’s sons even made a sign saying, “Randy Orton RKO my mom,” which caught the wrestler’s attention.
From that day forward, their bond only grew stronger. They spent hours talking and getting to know each other, and Randy wasted no time planning to see her again.
As Kim recalls, “From that day, that was it. It’s like we’ve been together since that day, it was the craziest thing.”

Their relationship quickly blossomed into a deep, soulful connection. Kim, in her own words, described Randy as her “SOULMATE without a doubt,” a sentiment echoed by Randy himself, who cherishes his wife’s unwavering support and the joy she brings to their family.
In 2015, during a romantic getaway in Bora Bora, Randy took the next step and proposed to Kim, cementing their love with an engagement. Later that year, they exchanged vows in a beautiful Las Vegas wedding, surrounded by their loved ones.
What makes Kim and Randy’s relationship truly special is their genuine admiration and respect for one another. He openly acknowledges Kim as a “real-life superhero,” praising her dedication to their family.
Meanwhile, Kim is in awe of Randy’s accomplishments and the love he shows their children, both biological and step.

Rhea Ripley Shares Views on Having Kids with Future Husband Buddy Matthews
Rhea Ripley talked about her plans on IMPAULSIVE’s podcast.
Rhea Ripley is currently dominating the WWE’s Raw Brand. This Australian wrestler made the mark in WWE by becoming the inaugural NXT UK Women’s Champion and later seizing the NXT Women’s Championship.
With a very successful career, this wrestler also has a successful love life. She is engaged to fellow Australian wrestler Matthew Adams, whom she started dating in 2022.
Amidst the marriage plans, Ripley talked about pregnancy and kids in a recent podcast episode of IMPAULSIVE by Jake Paul. On March 27, IMPAULSIVE posted a video titled Rhea Ripley’s Relationship w/ Dom Mysterio, Fighting Her Fiancé, Getting Stalked by WWE Fans: 412, where she talks about various things for over an hour.
In this YouTube video, she talks about WrestleMania vs Becky Lynch, ranking Top 4 Women’s stars, wrestling with nipple piercings, and more. While discussing different topics, Paul asked her if she ever wanted to have kids.
To this, Ripley replied, “One day, yeah,” implying that she had thought about getting pregnant. Paul then leads the conversation asking her how she would wrestle when she’s pregnant.
The wrestler nonchalantly commented, “Well, I wouldn’t wrestle while I was pregnant because you’ll end up killing the poor thing.” In a lighter tone, they quipped about whether anyone had ever wrestled while pregnant, suggesting it might have happened accidentally.
“One day I would like little me’s little body Matthews running around. They’re going to annoy the crap out of me but I’m gonna get everything I dished out as a kid,” Ripley continues.
She was then asked if she wanted her kids to be legacy wrestlers, to which she replied “Umm, yes and no. I don’t know I feel like I would love that just to keep the name going and have that massive family line in hopefully WWE. At the same time, I also know what goes into this profession how hard it is, and how taxing it is on your body and your mind and I don’t know if I want that for my kids or not. Like I do but I don’t. It’s so amazing on the other side of things but it also takes a lot outta you. But I guess we’ll see down the line.”
Rhea Ripley also talks about her partner in the podcast
While talking about various topics on the podcast IMPAULSIVE, Ripley also shares some details about her soon-to-be husband, Adams. Paul posed a question, inquiring, “You’re a prominent figure in the industry, which could potentially challenge some men’s egos if their partner achieves greater success. Does he find it difficult to cope with? Is it motivating for him? Does he embrace it?”
To this, the wrestler replied, “He loves it. He doesn’t make him feel a certain negative sort of way. He’s happy for me and he also knows how far I can go in this company and how far his limitations are as well.”

While discussing it, she also discussed the reality of wrestling being male-dominated and acknowledged the limited opportunities for women in the sport. “So if you show you’re different and connect with the crowd in a certain way, you’re gonna skyrocket to the top,” she says.
Ripley then talked about her husband, stating, “Whereas for him, he has been in the WWE, he’s been wrestling for over 10 years, maybe 15 years… for a long long time. At the end of the day, the platform that I’m on is higher and I feel like he doesn’t get threatened by that.”
The wrestler also said that her fiancée reassures her that he doesn’t get threatened by her popularity and she trusts him. She also reveals that he helps her grow along the way and it is what a relationship should be like.
Who is Rhea Ripley’s fiancée, Matthew Adams?
Adams goes by his ring name, Buddy Matthews, and is a professional wrestler currently signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW). He was previously in WWE as Buddy Murphy and assigned to developmental territory NXT.
He made his debut in AEW on the February 23, 2022, episode of Dynamite alongside Malakai Black and Brody King of the House of Black. Following his impactful debut, AEW president Tony Khan announced his signing with the company.
Some of his notable victories include winning a trios match at Revolution’s buy-in-show against Death Triangle on March 5, 2023, defeating The Elite. However, they experienced defeat in August 2023 against The Acclaimed and Billy Gunn.
Adams and Ripley have a very great bond and often show it via social media. On February 9, 2023, Adams posted a picture of them together in the gym captioning “Couples that workout together… stays together! Couples that take over the world… take it together!”
This isn’t all! They are often seen spending quality time together during festivals and other occasions. They are expected to marry sometime in 2024.
