Billie Joe Armstrong and Adrienne Armstrong have grown their family to four members.
American musician Billie Joe Armstrong recently reflected on his nearly three-decade-long marriage with his wife, Adrienne Armstrong.
In an exclusive interview with People, Billie opened up about the profound influence his wife and two sons had on creating a song for Green Day’s upcoming 14th album, Saviors.
The conversation seamlessly transitioned to a reflective exploration of the musician’s enduring 29-year marriage with Adrienne. He bared his soul, acknowledging the inevitable challenges that come with long-term relationships.

Similarly, the musician shared the story of their growth and transformation over the years. He vividly described their journey, beginning as childhood sweethearts and evolving to the point where they are now navigating the complexities of middle age together.
Billie beautifully conveyed the core of their shared experiences, presenting it as a testament to resilience and trust.
As the conversation drew to a close, he encapsulated the essence of their journey with a profound statement, “We’ve been through so much in our life, and we’ve always been able to come out stronger. I’ll take all of the good and the bad; I wouldn’t change a thing.”
Billie Joe Armstrong and Adrienne Armstrong’s relationship timeline
Billie was on tour with Green Day in 1990. On July 4 of the same year, they played at a house party that was attended by Adrienne and her boyfriend, but they didn’t meet at that time.
However, the very next day at The Varsity, a mutual friend introduced Adrienne to the band, sparking the beginning of the musician and his now-wife’s connection. After this initial introduction, they started exchanging letters and maintained their friendship through long-distance calls.
Despite establishing a connection between them, Adrienne was still in an on-and-off relationship with her previous partner. However, after graduating, she decided to break up with him and spent a year being single.
Throughout this period, Billie and his now-wife continued to meet occasionally. The musician also made visits to Mankato, and Green Day organized mini-tours in the city to create opportunities for them to spend time together.
Over time, their connection deepened to the extent that the musician invited Adrienne to move to California with him, urging her to explore the potential of their romantic relationship. Despite feeling scared, Adrienne was determined to be with Billie.

So, before moving, she sold many of her things in a big garage sale. She also rented a mini U-Haul and, with her friends Holly and Steve, drove to California. Two weeks after moving, Billie proposed, and they got married in July 1994.
Shortly after, the couple began expanding their family, welcoming two sons, Joey and Jakob Armstrong. Now, both sons have grown up and followed in their dad’s footsteps, even starting their bands.
In 2008, Joey entered the music industry with his friend Cole Becker, releasing a set of songs on MySpace. Meanwhile, Jakob gained recognition in 2015 by sharing his music on SoundCloud and YouTube. He signed his band, Jakob Danger, with Burger Records, receiving full support from his parents.
Later, the lovebirds renewed their vows in a beautiful ceremony at the Las Vegas Neon Museum in 2014. They adorned themselves in stunning matching black attire and were joined by other musical legends, including Green Day bandmate Tre Cool, Duff McKagan, and Tim Armstrong.
Even though Billie and his wife had a great relationship, their bond faced challenges when some fans became convinced that the musician cheated on his wife with two younger women. This perception was fueled by a TikTok video that surfaced in June 2022.
In the TikTok video, the Green Day singer is in a close and comfortable interaction with one of the women. Upon seeing this video, one person accused Billie of “casually cheating on his wife” and claimed he was “exposed” by the women who appeared to be seeking TikTok fame.
Despite the speculation, neither Billie nor his wife has clarified the situation or denied the rumors. However, the couple has emerged even stronger.
On July 3, 2021, they celebrated their 27th marriage anniversary. Adrienne commemorated the occasion by sharing throwback pictures from their wedding, captioning it, “27 – what a ride.”
Following the post, one person commented, “Time flies when you’re having fun! Congratulations. Love you!” accompanied by a red heart emoji, while another expressed that Billie and Adrienne are the best couple and wished them a lifelong togetherness.

“Looking back on all these things that have challenged my story and character arc (go with the analogy here), I just kept leaning into ‘and then what?’ And then what did I do?” Maltby added. She then revealed what she did over the course of the past few months.
She continued in the caption, “And then she… broke. And then she felt everything all at once. And then she found sparks of joy. And then she washed her hair. And then she smiled. And then she made someone else smile. And then she hurt again.”
“And then she thanked god she wasn’t with him. And then she got a new job. And then she moved. And then she started surviving. And then she started thriving. And then she went on vacation alone. And then she found herself.”
“And then she fell in love with everything and herself. And then she shown brighter, and brighter, and brighter. And then she… ??? There’s always an “and then…” to our stories. They’re constantly being written,” Maltby added.

Additionally, she stated that she had one tattoo on her left ring finger that spells “strength.” Furthermore, in her tweet of February 2, 2019, she revealed that she has a Deathly Hallows tattoo, referring to the three Deathly Hallows from the Harry Potter film series.

Caity Lotz Is Pregnant, Expecting First Baby with Husband Kyle Schmid
Congrats to the married couple!
Congratulations are in order for Caity Lotz and her husband, Kyle Schmid, as they are expecting their first baby together.
Rumors of Lotz’s pregnancy were first initiated after her Instagram post on April 11, 2024. She posted a few pictures of herself with her friend, in which she was donning a red bikini at a beach and seemingly hiding her baby bump.
The pregnancy rumors were eventually met with a positive response. On Saturday, April 20, Lotz and Schmid took to their respective Instagram handles to reveal that they were pregnant with their first child. The married couple had shared four identical pictures.
In one picture, Schmid can be seen holding his wife’s growing baby bump as she sits on his lap. In another, the married duo is holding each other’s stomachs. Similarly, they posted a sonogram photo as the fourth picture of their respective Instagram posts.
Lotz captioned her pregnancy announcement, writing, “Gaining weight for the role of a lifetime.” On the other hand, Schmid wrote a bit lengthy caption, starting with, “Never would have thought the woman of my dreams could have become anymore beautiful.”
“Your glow, your shine, you’re going to be the best mom in the world. I can’t wait to be a proud poppa. What a whirlwind of a year!” he concluded his heartfelt caption along with four hashtags: “mommabear,” “poppabear,” “bigpoppa,” and “highfive.”
Following their pregnancy announcement, Lotz’s Arrowverse co-stars – including Candice Patton, Katherine McNamara, Javicia Leslie, Danielle Panabaker, and more – along with many fans filled the comment section with congratulatory messages.
For instance, actress Olivia Swann wrote, “AHHHHHHH congratulations Caity!! Sending huge love to you and Kyle, incredible news,” with actress Jes Macallan commenting, “So beautiful! Can’t wait to love on this baby. Can our littles go to summer camp together when they get older?!”
A couple of days later, on Wednesday, April 24, Lotz took to her Instagram handle to share another picture of herself flaunting her ever-growing baby bump. Along with the photo, she wrote, “Now that I’m (hopefully) past all the nausea and extreme fatigue, I’m loving being pregnant!”

As mentioned earlier, this is Lotz and Schmid’s first baby. The now-married couple first met each other through a mutual friend. Their first date was a “quick coffee double date,” which they had with their mutual friend and her husband on February 21, 2021.
Lotz and Schmid eventually began dating, and their bond grew stronger as time passed. A little over a year after they started dating, Schmid decided to take his relationship with his then-girlfriend to the next level and proposed to her in May 2022.
On May 7, 2022, Schmid shared some moments from their engagement via Instagram, expressing his love for his then-fiancee. “The sun rises and sets with you. The moon and the stars have never shone so brightly. You are the love of my life,” he captioned.
Likewise, days before the then-engaged duo celebrated their second dating anniversary, they walked down the aisle and shared their wedding vows. Lotz and Schmid married in an intimate ceremony on February 11, 2023.
Speaking a little about their wedding, it was a destination wedding in Cartagena, Colombia, where only close friends and family members were in attendance. The Flash alum later informed her fans about their marriage on Valentine’s Day of 2023.

Lauren Luyendyk Wants 1 More Baby with Arie Luyendyk, Told Husband to Reverse Vasectomy
“Just wait a little.”
Lauren Burnham Luyendyk, also known as Lauren Luyendyk, has spoken her mind on whether she wants to have more children with her husband, Arie Luyendyk Jr., aka Arie Luyendyk.
The answer is that she wants to have one more baby with her partner. Besides, she even told her husband to get her vasectomy reversed. These revelations came during Lauren’s recent Q&A session, which she held over her Instagram handle.
On Monday, April 22, 2024, Lauren hosted an Instagram Q&A session where one of her followers asked her if she felt her family was complete. The Bachelor alum and her husband are currently the proud and blessed parents of three children.
In reply to the fan’s question, Lauren stressed that the question was a hard one as she recently even told her husband to reverse his vasectomy. However, the parents of three sometimes have a hard time with their kids.
She wrote, “This is such a hard question for me… I told Arie to get a vasectomy reversal the other day, but then we have super hard days sometimes with the kids, and then I sort of question it. I don’t know. I think I might want one more, but just wait a little.”
Lauren’s answer left many of her followers to believe that the reality TV star and her longtime husband might welcome one more baby in the near future. However, it is currently unknown when the married couple will welcome the new addition to their family.
Moreover, Lauren’s husband, Arie, also has to reverse his vasectomy before they plan on having more kids. In this regard, Arie had a few things to say during his recent Q&A session on Instagram in late March 2024.
Firstly, when one Instagram user asked The Bachelor alum if his life at the moment was how he envisioned his future when he started his journey as the Bachelor, Arie replied that he never thought he would be this lucky.

His reply read, “I never thought in a million years I would be this lucky. Honestly, this is better than the future I had carved out in my mind. Lauren is everything and has also given me so much more to love with our three kids. I am forever grateful.”
Right after answering that fan question, he answered another fan question regarding his vasectomy and if he would ever consider reversing the procedure. He tagged his wife’s Instagram handle and wrote, “Whatcha think Lauren?!”
Coming over to Lauren and Arie’s relationship, she has been married to her husband since January 12, 2019. They met on The Bachelor season 22 and engaged on the show itself. Shortly after their wedding, on May 29, 2019, they welcomed their first child, daughter Alessi.
In 2020, Lauren suffered a miscarriage; however, later, in December 2020, the married duo announced they were expecting their second child. Later, it was revealed that they were expecting twins. On June 12, 2021, they welcomed daughter Senna and son Lux.
Some months after the arrival of their twin children, Luyendyk and his wife jointly decided that Luyendyk would have a vasectomy. On February 1, 2022, the reality TV star uploaded a YouTube video revealing he got a vasectomy.
