Abigail Heringer is clapping back at trolls who made fun of her deaf accent, indirectly targeting her hearing disability.
It all started after The Bachelor contestant posted a video on her TikTok handle, where some users dragged Heringer, making fun of hearing loss and deaf accent. One of the mean comments on her TikTok post included, “she can’t even talk.”
At first, Heringer didn’t give any response to the haters, but after some time, she didn’t hold back. She took to her Instagram stories to slam the haters. She posted a picture of her TikTok post’s comment section and wrote a lengthy caption.
She wrote, “One of my TikTok videos is getting pushed out as an ad. So it’s going on people’s for you pages that don’t follow me and don’t know that I’m deaf. In the video, I mispronounced some words (ironically not the brand name, which everyone thinks I did, lol).”
“And nearly all these comments are making fun of the way I talk, asking if I’m uneducated, stupid, etc.” She continued by writing that she only wanted to share this because she believes it’s essential to educate people, especially regarding disabilities.
Heringer added that she hopes all the hate comments she has received on her TikTok video came from ignorance and not from people who are being mean so that they can look cool on social media. Her statement read:
“I just wanted to share this interaction because this is why I believe it’s so important in educating ourselves and others, especially when it comes to disabilities. All the hateful comments, I hope, come from ignorance and not the people being shitty for the heck of it.”
“I can’t believe the internet is stooping to the point where we make fun of how people speak, regardless of if they have a disability or not,” she added to her statement.
The former Bachelor in Paradise contestant concluded her Instagram story by mentioning that she tries to be optimistic about her hearing disability most of the time and also admitted that she doesn’t share as often about her disability as she should.
Her ending statement read, “I try and be positive on here about my disability, but this is one of the realities of living with one that I don’t share too often, and despite doing what you can to educate others – people will still miss the mark sometimes. Sigh. Rant Over.”

After Heringer addressed the trolls, a fan took a screenshot of her Instagram story and posted it on The Bachelor‘s fan subreddit. In the comments of the Reddit post, many Redditors chimed in support of Heringer.
For instance, one Reddit user wrote, “As a deaf woman myself, I love this lady so much.” At the same time, another wrote, “Abigail is *quite literally* the sweetest woman to ever appear on The Bachelor. This makes me really angry that anyone would criticize her for anything.”
This isn’t the first time Heringer has opened up about her hearing loss. While the previous times weren’t directed at trolls, the reality TV star has opened up about her struggles, what caused her hearing loss, and more in her social media posts and interviews.
During one of the episodes of her weekly ‘Hear Me Out’ TikTok series in June 2023, Heringer mentioned that she and her older sister have hearing loss due to Connexin 26, a mutation that is the most common cause of profound hearing loss.

“While my mom and biological dad were hearing, they both carried this recessive gene. With this recessive gene, there was a one in four chance of Rachel and I being born deaf. And the odds just happened to work that way twice in a row,” Heringer added to her statement.
The 28-year-old internet personality has been wearing a cochlear hearing implant – since she was two and a half years old. In another interview, she mentioned that she underwent surgery to get a cochlear implant when she was two and a half years old.
As for her deaf accent, Heringer – who recently got engaged to boyfriend Noah Erb after over two years of dating – explained it during one of her ‘Get Ready With Me’ or ‘GRWM’ segments of her ‘Hear Me Out’ TikTok series.
She stated, “A lot of deaf people have what’s called a deaf accent. So some notice it when I have my C.I., cochlear implant, processor on but it’s definitely more noticeable when my processor is off.” After saying that, she took out her C.I. as she curled her hair.
She continued, “So the reason that my voice sounds different, or my deaf accent comes out more when my processor’s off, is due to something called the auditory feedback loop. It happens when you speak.”
Heringer further explained that people can listen to themselves and make corrections if something sounds wrong. “So when I don’t have my processor on, like right now, I’m not able to listen and make those corrections,” she added.
“I feel like my deaf accent sounds, like, words being slurred at the end,” she said. She concluded her statement by stating that due to her deaf accent, her voice gets a little bit deeper, and she talks a little louder than usual.

BLACKPINK Returns with ‘Deadline’ EP: Everything to Know About Their High-Octane Comeback Single ‘GO’
Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa, and Rosé end their three-year hiatus with a bold new mini-album and a high-budget visual for their latest hit single.
The long wait for the “biggest girl group in the world” is finally over. On Friday, Feb. 27, 2026, BLACKPINK—consisting of members Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa, and Rosé—officially released their new EP, Deadline. This marks the quartet’s first collective body of work since their 2022 studio album Born Pink, effectively ending a three-and-a-half-year hiatus that saw the members conquer the world through individual solo ventures.
The lead single from the EP, titled “GO,” arrived alongside a blockbuster music video that features the group in a futuristic, high-stakes heist narrative. Known for their “black” and “pink” duality, the new single leans heavily into the “black” concept—featuring aggressive synth-pop production, sharp choreography, and the signature “BLACKPINK in your area” confidence. The Deadline EP also includes the fan-favorite pre-release track “JUMP,” alongside new songs “Me and My,” “Champion,” and the edgy “Fxxxboy.”
The release of Deadline follows an incredibly busy period for the group. Throughout 2025, they embarked on the massive Deadline World Tour, which broke several attendance records for female groups and concluded earlier this year with three sold-out “encore” shows in Hong Kong. Despite the rigorous tour schedule, each member continued to excel individually. Most recently, Rosé made history at the 2026 Grammys, where she was nominated for three awards and opened the show with a viral performance of her smash hit “APT.” alongside Bruno Mars.
While solo projects for Lisa’s LLOUD, Jennie’s OA, and Jisoo’s BLISSOO have dominated the headlines for the past year, Deadline proves that the group’s collective chemistry remains unmatched. The mini-album is a strategic “thank you” to BLINKs who have waited patiently for a group comeback. “GO” is already trending at #1 on YouTube and Spotify’s Global charts, fueled by its message of relentless ambition and moving forward.
As the members continue to balance their massive solo careers in music, television, and fashion, Deadline serves as a powerful reminder that BLACKPINK is an unstoppable force when they reunite. With more group activities rumored for late 2026, it seems the “Deadline” era is only just beginning.

Milo Ventimiglia’s Wife Jarah Mariano Shares Emotional First Birthday Tribute – And a Surprise Baby No. 2 Reveal
Jarah Mariano celebrates daughter Ke’ala’s 1st birthday with a moving tribute and a surprise pregnancy reveal.
Milo Ventimiglia and wife Jarah Mariano have a lot to celebrate this February. While the couple is notoriously private, Mariano took to Instagram on Saturday, January 24, 2026, to share a rare, deeply personal tribute to their daughter, Ke’ala Coral, on her first birthday. However, it wasn’t just the heartfelt words that caught fans’ attention—the accompanying photo featured Mariano in a brown bikini holding her toddler in the surf, prominently displaying a growing baby bump to confirm that the couple is expecting their second child.
A “unique love” after a year of rebuilding
The birthday tribute comes precisely one year after a period of intense trial for the family. Ke’ala Coral was born on January 23, 2025, just two weeks after Ventimiglia and Mariano lost their home in the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.
In her moving post, the 42-year-old model reflected on the transformative power of motherhood:
“Happy 1 year baby girl. When you came into my life I had 2 distinct thoughts, one immediately after the other – I would die for you in a heartbeat, but now I also have to live as long as I possibly can to be around to make sure you’re safe.”
She continued, describing the bond as the “most unique love” she has ever experienced. “In a world with so much fear and hatred, I know that you will bring your radiating light everywhere you go to make it a better and brighter place for those around you. I love you Ke’ala Coral, forever x Mama.”
Milo Ventimiglia on fatherhood: “A wild ride”
Following the viral post, Milo Ventimiglia, 48, spoke candidly about his expanding family during a February 2026 interview with People. The This Is Us alum, who famously played the ultimate “TV Dad” Jack Pearson, noted that real-life fatherhood has fundamentally changed his craft.
“The well of understanding emotions and being able to convey them just bottoms out, and it’s infinite,” Ventimiglia shared. “It’s a pretty wild experience being able to take that new fatherhood and new family and plug it into my work.”
The actor also reflected on the “life imitating art” aspect of their 2025 house fire—a tragedy mirroring his character’s exit in This Is Us—praising Mariano for being the “most unbelievable human being” during their “houseless but never homeless” phase.
Baby No. 2: What we know so far
The surprise pregnancy reveal has sent the Gilmore Girls and This Is Us fandoms into a frenzy. While the couple has not yet shared a specific due date, the “Baby No. 2” news serves as a beautiful “fresh start” for the pair as they continue to rebuild their lives in California.
Professionally, Milo remains as busy as ever, with his production company DiVide Pictures developing new content and his upcoming film I Can Only Imagine 2 slated for release.

Milo Ventimiglia and Jarah Mariano: A Deep Dive into Their Private Marriage and Expanding Family in 2026
From secret weddings to surviving a house fire, get the 2026 update on Milo Ventimiglia’s marriage to Jarah Mariano and their growing family.
Milo Ventimiglia has long been Hollywood’s favorite “TV Dad,” but in 2026, the This Is Us star is living out his most rewarding role yet: a real-life father of two. Since his secret nuptials in 2023, Ventimiglia and his wife, Jarah Mariano, have navigated high-stakes personal trials and immense joy, all while maintaining the “privacy-first” mindset that has defined Milo’s decades-long career.
Who is Milo Ventimiglia’s wife, Jarah Mariano?
The transition from Milo Ventimiglia’s “girlfriend” to “wife” happened away from the paparazzi’s lens. Jarah Mariano (42) is a highly accomplished Hawaiian-born model and entrepreneur, recognized for her iconic work with Sports Illustrated and Victoria’s Secret.
The couple reportedly began their relationship in early 2022. While rumors swirled for months, they managed to keep their romance entirely out of the headlines until news broke that they had officially tied the knot in a private ceremony in late 2023. This “stealth” approach is a hallmark of Ventimiglia’s personal philosophy: “I try to minimize myself so people can see the character.”
The 2025 house fire and the birth of Ke’ala Coral
The couple’s journey to parenthood was marked by a harrowing trial. In January 2025, just two weeks before their daughter was born, Milo and Jarah’s home in the Los Angeles Palisades was completely destroyed in a devastating wildfire.
Their first child, daughter Ke’ala Coral Ventimiglia, was born on January 23, 2025, amidst the ruins of their previous life. Jarah later described the period as “houseless, but never homeless,” praising the resilience of their “fresh start.” This survival story has added a layer of profound gravity to their public image, proving that their bond is built on much more than Hollywood glamour.
2026 Update: A first birthday and Baby No. 2
In late January 2026, the couple sent fans into a frenzy when Jarah shared a rare, emotional Instagram post to celebrate Ke’ala’s first birthday. The post featured a beachside photo of Mariano holding her daughter, but the real news was the clearly visible baby bump, confirming that Milo and Jarah are expecting their second child.
In the moving caption, Jarah wrote:
“Happy 1 year baby girl. When you came into my life I had 2 distinct thoughts… I would die for you in a heartbeat, but now I also have to live as long as I possibly can to be around to make sure you’re safe. This is the most unique love I’ve ever experienced.”
Career evolution: From Jack Pearson to Tim Timmons
In February 2026, Milo Ventimiglia has successfully transitioned his “dad energy” into new creative territory. He currently stars in the theatrical hit I Can Only Imagine 2 (released Feb 20, 2026), portraying Christian singer Tim Timmons.
The role required Milo to sing and play guitar on screen for the first time—an experience he described as “terrifying.” Interestingly, the film reunites him with Gilmore Girls co-star Arielle Kebbel, who plays his on-screen wife. Milo credits his real-life fatherhood for his performance, noting that the “well of understanding emotions” has bottomed out since the birth of his daughter.
FAQ: Milo Ventimiglia 2026 Updates
Is Milo Ventimiglia still married? Yes. As of February 2026, Milo Ventimiglia and Jarah Mariano remain happily married. They wed in a private ceremony in September 2023.
How many children does Milo Ventimiglia have? Milo has one daughter, Ke’ala Coral (born Jan 2025), and as of January 2026, he and Jarah are expecting their second child.
What is Milo Ventimiglia’s latest movie? Milo is currently starring in the biographical drama I Can Only Imagine 2, playing musician Tim Timmons.
