Liana Jade Brooker, popularly known as Liana Jade, and her longtime boyfriend Connor Darlington are new parents in the making — for the second time.

So, the answer to the two popular fan queries “Are Connor and Liana having another baby?” and “Are Connor and Liana still together?” is the same — Yes and Yes!

On Tuesday, July 30, 2024, Jade and Darlington took to Instagram to make a joint announcement, revealing they were expecting their second baby. Firstly, they posted a sweet little skit, featuring themselves and their firstborn, son Koazy.

The video first showed Koazy walking by and then it featured Jade, as she held a bucket of clothes outside to dry them. She hung a new outfit for her son — the blue-colored outfit had “big brother” written over it — and then clipped it with a pink-colored clothespin.

Jade and her partner used Queen’s Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy as the song for their short skit, and captioned it by writing, “Baby #2 coming 2025.” The caption revealed that Jade’s due date is sometime in 2025, with the exact date currently undisclosed.

Around an hour later, the couple made another joint Instagram post, featuring themselves and their son. This time, a sonogram of Jade’s second baby was also clipped alongside Koazy’s “Big Brother” outfit.

The photo showed Darlington carrying his baby boy on his shoulders as Jade – in a fully white outfit – was holding her baby bump. The second and third pictures in their joint Instagram post were cute images of their firstborn.

When the big announcement was made, friends and well-wishers of the duo took to the comment section and expressed their joy and sent congratulatory messages. For instance, one wrote, “Huge congratulations! He has to look EXACTLY like Connor now to even things out!!!”

“OH MY GODDD KOAZY’S GONNA BE A BIG BROTHER. So happy for your beautiful family,” one Instagram user commented, with another following with, “Ahhhhh koazy is gonna be the best big brother ever.”

The news of Jade’s second pregnancy comes a little over two and a half years after she first announced she was pregnant. The social media star announced her first pregnancy on December 14, 2021, and she gave birth to her son Koazy on July 15, 2022.

After the birth of their son, especially when they revealed his name, the couple faced backlash as the internet didn’t share the same love for their son’s distinctive name. However, the love birds stayed strong and faced those backlashes together.

Speaking a little of Jade and her boyfriend’s relationship, they met around 2018 and initially formed a friendship. As time passed, they developed feelings for each other and eventually began dating on March 19, 2019.

Since they started as a couple, they have always been together, holding each other’s hands and supporting their other halves through thick and thin. On March 19, 2021, they celebrated two years of their togetherness.

Darlington’s love for his baby mama was seen in the letter that Jade wrote when she surprised him with her first pregnancy news. She had written, “In the short time spent together, being long distance, I’d never felt so lucky and loved.”

The letter continued, “Not only did you prove to me that true love exists but you took a shy insecure little Welsh girl and turned it into the confident woman I am today. You made me feel the most beautiful when I wore no makeup, wore clothes that were comfortable and baggy.”

“But most of all, you made me feel beautiful and comfortable just being myself. Even after three years of being together, you showed me the same love and patience. You’ve always believed in me, you’ve supported me through all my highs and my lows,” she added.

Now that the family of three is expanding to four, it is sure that the love will grow even more. We wish the couple nothing but the best.

Yodit Yemane, more popularly known by her Instagram handle Jodie Joe, has once again become a focal point in the world of fashion and social media.

The model, television personality, and Instagram influencer has amassed a substantial following through her work with the online fashion giant Fashion Nova. Her Instagram account, the_jodiejoe, boasts over 1.2 million followers, a testament to her influence and the widespread appeal of her style and lifestyle content.

On Tuesday, July 30, 2024, Yemane shared a dramatic update with her followers, posting a selfie on her Instagram stories that showcased a striking transformation. Her lips were noticeably more plump than usual in the image.

It suggested she had recently undergone a lip filler procedure, as her upper lip appeared significantly enhanced. Accompanying the photo, she wrote a candid and humorous caption, reading, “This is not a filter. I look absolutely nuts. I pray to God this goes down by tomorrow.”

Her open acknowledgment of her new look offered a rare glimpse into her personal experience with cosmetic enhancements. While her self-deprecating humor aimed to ease any concerns, the dramatic change sparked a range of responses from her followers.

The immediate feedback was a mix of concern, disappointment, and debate. Teatok Talk, an Instagram account known for curating celebrity news and trending stories, reposted Yemane’s story, which quickly attracted a flurry of comments.

Many fans were dismayed, feeling that the enhanced lips overshadowed the model’s natural beauty. The contrast between her previous, more subtle appearance and the new, exaggerated look led to a heated discussion about her cosmetic choices and their impact on her public image.

For instance, one Instagram user wrote, “This is why I’ll never get any lip injections I’m okay with the current body I have,” with another user adding, “why get lip fillers when you could just contour your lips to look big? like is makeup THAT hard guys cmon now.”

“She was never ugly idk why she did all that esp with her beautiful Eritrean traits she had,” a fan of the influencer commented, with another replying, “no fr Eritreans are so beautiful. She looked flawless before her surgeries.”

Meanwhile, one fan defended Yemane as they wrote, “She probably got her top lip filler dissolved. She’s perfect with and without lip filler y’all. It’s 2024. She and everyone else can do whatever they want with their bodies.”

Yemane’s latest cosmetic change has also reignited interest in her history with plastic surgery rumors. Over the years, she has been the subject of speculation regarding various cosmetic procedures.

Her evolving appearance has often prompted discussions about whether she has undergone surgery or other enhancements. As Yemane has never addressed these rumors, the topic remains a recurring point of interest and debate among her followers and the media.

As with many influencers and celebrities, much of the discussion around her appearance is based on observation rather than confirmed facts. It’s important to approach these topics with sensitivity, as personal choices about appearance are private matters.

That said, Yemane’s recent decision to share her enhanced appearance in real-time, coupled with her candid and humorous commentary, reflects the evolving nature of how public figures engage with their audiences.

While her decision to post about her lip fillers may resonate with some followers, it also raises questions about beauty standards and the pressures faced by public figures to conform to certain ideals.

The reaction to Yemane’s new look serves as a reminder of the ongoing conversations about beauty, authenticity, and the impact of social media on personal image. As she continues to navigate her public and professional life, the discourse around her appearance and choices will likely remain a point of interest for both her supporters and critics alike.

Post-breakup with Harry Styles three months ago, Taylor Russell was publicly spotted for the first time on Monday, July 29, 2024.

The 30-year-old Canadian actress was spotted taking a leisurely stroll through Hampstead, north London, enjoying the summer heatwave with her mother.

Russell was seen sporting a chic beige trench coat, a crisp white vest, and dark trousers, accessorized with a striking red cap and dark sunglasses. Accompanied by her adorable pooch Root, she looked effortlessly stylish as she made her way to the heath.

Sharing her pictures on Instagram, media agency Backgrid wrote, “Taylor Russell, fresh off her high-profile split from Harry Styles, stepped into the London limelight. The actress enjoyed a casual day out with her mom and her beloved dog, Roots, in the heart of Hampstead.”

Some fans reacted to the post with different people giving different opinions. A few apparently opined that the couple might be considering to patch up since they both were captured in the city even though separately.

“Pap pics usually have a reason to happen and these two rarely get paped how much more in the same area so maybe the reason this happened is because there’s a reconciliation happening soon. Maybe they’re soft launching that they’re back together,” one wrote.

On the other hand, fans also added that they might not get back, adding, “no when Harry’s done he doesn’t go back.”

Another user commented, “honey, they both live in the same city, as do thousands of other people. This is just media to publicize JW’s purse.” 

The split between Russell and Styles followed a turbulent period after a ‘make or break’ holiday in Japan. The pair, who had been last seen together in Tokyo in April, haven’t been spotted in each other’s company since their separation. The couple had made headlines for their seemingly blissful relationship, but insiders reveal that their recent trip to Japan was a turning point.

In May, the actress attended the star-studded Met Gala in New York solo, while Styles remained in London. Friends close to the former couple claim that their time apart highlighted the strain in their relationship, ultimately leading to their split.

Despite the separation, it was previously reported that the singer was eager to start a family with Taylor. In March, a source shared with MailOnline, “Harry has lived many lifetimes in the spotlight, and now he’s ready for the next chapter. He’s deeply in love with Taylor and envisions a future with her.”

Their history

The couple’s romance began to make waves last June, with their first public appearance at a London museum and rumors of hand-holding. Their paths first crossed at the Venice International Film Festival in September 2022, where Styles was promoting Don’t Worry Darling and Russell was celebrating the premiere of Bones and All.

Before Russell, Styles was linked to Olivia Wilde, with their relationship ending in November 2022.
