Singer Kameron Marlowe Is Engaged to Longtime Girlfriend Meagan Bennington

Congratulations are in order for country singer-songwriter Kameron Marlowe, who recently got engaged to his girlfriend Meagan Bennington.

The duo, who have been dating for over two years, got engaged in Belgrade, Montana, where they took their first trip together in 2021.

Only a few days after becoming engaged, on April 13, 2023, the pair announced the happy news on their Instagram accounts on April 18, 2023.

They shared several pictures of them on their respective Instagram handles and captioned the post, “Never had a doubt forever would be with you 4.13.23.”

The Voice alum had planned the trip under the guise of celebrating Bennington’s birthday and surprised her with a proposal. 

The singer told his girlfriend that they had dinner plans in downtown Bozeman and requested that they take a walk first. Although he hoped to propose at sunset, the weather prevented him from doing so.

As a result, the proposal took place with Marlowe getting down on one knee amid a foot of snow and presenting Bennington with a customized ring from Happy Jewelers in Los Angeles. 

To make the occasion even more special, Marlowe flew in both his and Bennington’s parents to surprise her for dinner. 

Bennington, who works at Spotify, said yes immediately and expressed her excitement about marrying her best friend.

“When Kameron came into my life I knew I had found the person I wanted to spend every day with,” Marlowe’s girlfriend-turned-fiance said during an interview with People.

The newly engaged couple first crossed paths in 2019 when Marlowe’s manager Kaitlin Madewell introduced them at Marlowe’s first Whiskey Jam. 

Despite hitting it off right away, their relationship didn’t progress beyond friendship until the pandemic hit. Bennington was hesitant to date someone in the music business as she also worked in the same business.

Their relationship took time to blossom, with Bennington making Marlowe wait a year before agreeing to go out with him. Despite her initial reservations, her friends and family encouraged her to pursue her feelings for him.

However, once they started dating, there was no looking back. He was so sure of his feelings for Bennington that he called his mom to ask how she knew his dad was “the one.” 

Her response was simple: “You’ll know when you know,” to which the 25-year-old replied, “Well, I think I met my future wife.”

Bennington wasn’t Marlowe’s first love but it’s safe to say that she is his last. Before Bennington, the singer was previously in a five years long relationship and had plans for their future together.

But things took a turn when the girl met someone else and broke his heart. In an interview with People, he opened up about the breakup that turned his life upside down. 

“We both thought that was what we wanted,” Marlowe shared about his relationship at the time. “And then, she ended up finding somebody else that she was interested in. I had this whole grand plan of what I thought life was going to be like. And it just all kind of flipped on its head.”

So, in an attempt to heal, he started writing a song, ‘Giving You Up’ that took Marlowe’s life in a whole new direction.

“Without that breakup, that song would have never existed,” explained Marlowe, who ended up signing with Columbia and releasing a self-titled EP during the pandemic-paused year of 2020. 

The North Carolina native believed that if they had never broken up, he would not have had the motivation to chase his dreams, and he would not be where he is today.

Singer Sia Reveals Her Autism Diagnosis Two Years after Controversial Film ‘Music’

Sia Reveals She Is Diagnosed With Autism Spectrum Disorder

Sia recently revealed that she is on the autism spectrum.

According to CDC, Autism Spectrum Disorder, or ASD, is a developmental impairment caused by brain differences. ASD patients frequently struggle with social communication and engagement, as well as confined or repetitive habits or hobbies. 

Sia revealed the news to her fans and follower during Rob Has a Podcast (via People). She said, “I’m on the spectrum, and I’m in recovery and whatever — there’s a lot of things.”

Here is everything we know about it.

Sia on her autism spectrum disorder

This is the first time the singer opened up about her disorder. She revealed that after the diagnosis, she felt like like herself.

She said, “For 45 years, I was like … ‘I’ve got to go put my human suit on.’ And only in the last two years have I become fully, fully myself.”

After Sia revealed her autism spectrum, she talked about how she had been feeling for the past couple of years. She said, “Nobody can ever know and love you when you’re filled with secrets and … living in shame.”

She talked about feeling seen for the first time in her life and feeling like a human.

“And when we finally sit in a room full of strangers and tell them our deepest, darkest, most shameful secrets, and everybody laughs along with us, and we don’t feel like pieces of trash for the first time in our lives, and we feel seen for the first time in our lives for who we actually are, and then we can start going out into the world and just operating as humans and human beings with hearts and not pretending to be anything,” she said.

Sia revealed her autism spectrum two years after she faced backlash for her movie, Music. She had cast her frequent collaborator, Maddie Ziegler, in the movie, who portrays a character on the autism spectrum.

Music, written and directed by Sia, was about a teenager with autism, but disability rights campaigners chastised her for casting Ziegler, who was not on the autistic spectrum. The singer initially defended herself and her choice to cast Ziegler.

She claimed that it was difficult to work with someone on the autism spectrum, and Ziegler was someone who could bring her vision to light. But her defending Music was faced with more criticism and backlash.

In the end, Sia apologized and said she would cut the scenes that depict people with autism spectrum in a negative light. She said, “I’m sorry. I plan to remove the restraint scenes from all future printings. I listened to the wrong people and that is my responsibility, my research was clearly not thorough enough, not wide enough.”

Following the major backlash, Sia was suicidal and had to check into rehab after she relapsed. Thankfully, she had Kathy Griffin, who helped her through it. 

Now, Sia is happy, and after she has found that she is on the autism spectrum, she has been working towards recovery —  making herself better mentally and physically.

Netizens’ reaction to Sia’s autism spectrum disorder

Many netizens were sympathetic towards Sia after she opened up about having autism. They wished her the best and asked her to be strong for herself and her family.

However, many brought up the topic of Music and how Sia’s actions back then were not excusable. Some people pointed out that the singer being autistic would excuse her for Music.

They noted that whatever Sia did for Music was still back, and just because she identified or had autism spectrum did not mean that she was a good advocate for it.

As a result, people were sympathetic to her but did not excuse her and her explanation behind Music.

Here is all we know about it.

Morgan Simianer’s wedding ceremony with her husband

Before her wedding, Simianer shared the journey with her fans and followers on Instagram. For instance, she shared her journey of selecting her wedding dress on social media.

She went to Bridal Boutique: Bridal Salon in Lewisville, Texas. She tried a couple of dresses but ultimately chose a sleek long-sleeved lace gown with pearl and beading detail.

She paired them with a long white veil that matched the detailing on her gown. Talking about her wedding dress to People, she said, “I went in and I was like, ‘I want to try every single style on.’ And I ended up going with something that was completely different from my vision board. I literally put it on and I was like, Oh my gosh, I love this dress.”

Her husband, on the other hand, wore a simple black tuxedo with a white shirt and black tie. Simianer had a timeless Texas wedding at The Olana, a mansion estate that pays homage to the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte in Paris.

Simianer said of her wedding venue, “It’s like a castle. Since the moment I saw it, it was engraved in my mind. When you get the butterfly feeling of it’s meant to be. I was like, ‘Yes, this is it.’”

“I feel like it’s a whole family reunion with all of us. There’ll be people from the Netflix docuseries, the producer of Cheer. People that went on tour with me for Cheer Live. We have just so many people,” she shared.

Simianer walked down the aisle with her grandfather to Christina Perry’s ‘A Thousand Years.’ She then exchanged the vows and rings with her boyfriend.

The couple’s ring was from Kay Jewelers, and Simianer’s ring was a custom-designed gold and diamond sparkler. On the other hand, Burleson selected a Neil Lane yellow gold diamond band.

Before the couple had their wedding ceremony, the two had their civil marriage. They got their certificates from Rockwall County Court House on April 13, 2023 — a month and a half before her Christian wedding to her partner.

Morgan Simianer’s dating history with Stone Burleson 

Simianer had been dating her boyfriend since early 2021. Details about their dating life are not known, but the pair made their relationship Instagram official on March 29, 2021, after attending a friend’s wedding.

After dating for a little over a year, Burleson proposed to his partner on the rooftop of HALL Arts Hotel in Dallas, Texas, on Saturday, March 26, 2022.

According to People, he proposed with a two and 3/4-carat Neil Lane marquise diamond ring set in a halo of diamonds on an 18-carat yellow gold band. Burleson planned his engagement to surprise his partner.

He planned a phony interview and photoshoot with her old coach, Monica Aldama, but when Simianer came, she was welcomed by her fiancé, who then dropped down on one knee.

Burleson told People, “After our first date, I knew I wanted to be with Morgan for the rest of my life, and this weekend, I asked her to be my forever, she blessed me by saying yes.”

It took the couple a little over a year to get married after getting engaged. But throughout that time, they prepared for their wedding and had a massive Bachelorette Party in Mexico.

The bride-to-be and her friends traveled to Mexico’s Riviera Maya, staying at The Excellence Resort in Cancun. The “Bach & Boujee” celebration included a yacht trip as well as snorkeling and cheering towers in the ocean.

Is Sami Zayn Unbanned From Saudi Arabia? Visits Mecca Ahead Of Match

Sami Zayn is also competing at Night of Champions in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Sami Zayn Visits Mecca Before Title Defence In Saudi Arabia

Sami Zayn has entered the boundaries of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the second time since he joined WWE as a full-time professional wrestler.

Currently, he is in Saudi Arabia as part of WWE’s upcoming professional wrestling pay-per-view Night of Champions, which will take place in Jeddah’s Jeddah Superdome on Saturday, May 27, 2023.

At the PPV, Zayn and his tag team partner Kevin Owens will defend their Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships against The Bloodline’s Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns and his tag team partner Solo Sikoa.

But ahead of his much-anticipated match, Zayn took the opportunity to utilize his second-ever visit to Saudi Arabia and visit Mecca, considered the holiest city in Islam and the “fountainhead and cradle of Islam.”

And as Zayn himself is a Muslim, it was one of the greatest moments of his life to cross a name off his bucket list. On Friday, May 26, 2023, he took to his social media handles – Instagram and Twitter – and shared pictures of himself at the location.

The first picture showed him wearing a white outfit as he touched The Kaaba – a stone building at the center of Masjid al-Haram, the important mosque and holiest site of Islam. The Kaaba is also spelled Ka’ba or Kabah, referred to as al-Ka’ba al-Musharrafa.

Similarly, the second picture showed him standing in front of The Kaaba, inside Masjid al-Haram, also called the Great Mosque of Mecca or the Grand Mosque.

In the caption, Zayn wrote, “Being a pro wrestler and being with WWE has taken me to places I never dreamed I’d get to see and do things I never thought I’d get to do. It has provided me a life filled with incredible experiences that I will cherish forever.”

At the end of his caption, he mentioned that being able to visit Masjid al-Haram and touching The Kaaba was the top thing on his list. He then wrote, “الحمدلله,” which translates to “Thank God.”

Is Sami Zayn unbanned in Saudi Arabia?

As mentioned above, this is Zayn’s second-ever visit to Saudi Arabia, with the first one being in 2014 as a part of WWE’s three-night house show tour in Riyadh. After that, many more shows and PPVs took place in Saudi Arabia, but Zayn wasn’t a part of them.

So, what happened? Was Zayn banned from competing in live shows and PPVs in Saudi Arabia? Well, banned isn’t the exact word that is fit to use in this context, as it’s more of a voluntary choice that Zayn made.

Zayn is a Canadian national, but his parents were Syrian immigrants who left their home country in the 1970s and settled in Canada. And the diplomatic relations between Syria and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia haven’t been on a positive note since 2011, until now.

Syria and Saudi Arabia cut diplomatic ties in November 2011 after Saudi Arabia’s backing of non-government forces during the Syrian Civil War. And while both nations are Sunni Muslim-majority countries, they didn’t see eye-to-eye.

As for Zayn’s refraining from Saudi Arabia-based WWE Shows and PPVs, Ryan Satin reported in 2018 that Zayn was pulled out from competing in The Greatest Royal Rumble as WWE didn’t want to disrespect the local culture in Saudi Arabia.

One year later, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported that the Saudi Arabian government had banned WWE from using Zayn at Super ShowDown due to Zayn’s Syrian ethnicity.

That being said, Zayn will now compete in WWE’s Night of Champions. So, what changed now? The answer is the diplomatic relationship between Syria and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which became good, i.e., they resumed diplomatic ties on May 9, 2023.

Due to that, it became clear that Saudi Arabia had no problem letting Zayn compete in Saudi Arabia-based WWE PPVs, and Zayn was also willing to wrestle once again in Saudi Arabia.

Furthermore, Zayn’s longtime best friend, Kevin Owens, will also compete for the first time in Saudi Arabia as Owens had also backed out from contesting in Saudi Arabia-based WWE PPVs as a show of support for Zayn.
