Raven Gates and her husband, Adam Gottschalk, are a few couples who found love on a dating show and are still together.

The pair began dating in Summer 2017 after meeting on Bachelor in Paradise. They would eventually get engaged, then married, and welcome children, all while maintaining a stable marital relationship and raising two kids.

The married couple is now opening up and sharing their secrets to a lasting marriage. On Monday, January 29, 2024, Gates and Gottschalk sat down with Bachelor Nation for an exclusive interview, where they spilled a few of their secrets to a long marriage.

Gates first shared her favorite advice for all love birds. She asked them to make sure that their relationship, in reality, is far better than what can be seen on social media platforms like Instagram.

She stated, “Make sure that your reality is better than your Instagram can ever display. Whatever beautiful picture you post on Instagram, make sure your reality is even better than that.” Her husband then chimed in to share his views.

He mentioned that all relationships are complex, whether it’s a celebrity relationship or a normal one. He stressed that it’s essential that couples have core common values with one another and that they work out every day to keep their relationship strong.

Gottschalk stated, “Any relationship is difficult, whether you’re Bachelor Nation or a normal couple. Having core common values with one another is extremely important. Your relationship is like a muscle, you have to work out every day to keep it strong.”

“Six and a half years later, we have two beautiful kids,” he added. Gates followed up with her husband and shared more insights about what has worked for her and her husband throughout their relationship.

“First and foremost, you should always lean into arguments but forgive quickly. And someone once told us that every relationship is 50/50, so sometimes it can be 50/50, but other times it can be 99 and 1,” the reality TV star said.

Gates continued her statement by saying that if a person in the relationship is “the 99” in one moment, the same person can sometimes be “the 1” and is dragging their feet a little bit. She added that it takes a team to keep a relationship at 100 all the time.

Her words read, “If you’re the 99 in that moment and you’re pulling the weight of the relationship, know that sometimes you’re the 1 and you’re dragging your feet a little bit. It takes a team to always keep your relationship at 100 all the time.”

She concluded by saying that she and her husband always say “100/100, not 50/50.” Well, seeing how Gates and Gottschalk have maintained a blissful marital relationship, it’s sure that their secret to lasting marriage works, at least in certain ways.

Speaking a little about the married duo’s relationship, they initially maintained a long-distance relationship. They didn’t take any further steps while they were on the fourth season of Bachelor in Paraside.

After years of dating, Gottschalk finally decided to take their relationship to another level and proposed to his then-girlfriend in Dallas, Texas. Gates said yes, and the two engaged on May 31, 2019. However, the news of their engagement was only shared three days later.

On June 2, 2019, Gates took to her Instagram handle to share the exciting news. She shared a series of pictures showing her engagement ring and the moment her future husband went down on one knee and proposed to her.

Less than two years later, on April 16, 2021, the then-engaged duo walked down the aisle. Their wedding occurred in the same town where they got engaged, Dallas, Texas. Months later, in July 2021, the newly married duo revealed they were having a “honeymoon baby.”

On January 18, 2022, Gottschalk announced the birth of his first child, a son named Gates Zev, via an Instagram story. He wrote, “Little man made it. Had an emergency C-section after pushing for about an hour and a half. Mom and baby are doing very well.”

Around a year after the birth of their first child, the love birds announced they were pregnant with their second child. Gates humorously revealed her pregnancy, writing, “Baby #2 due in July! Any tips on two under 2? Pray for us!… especially Adam,” along with two laughing emojis.

As mentioned, their second child arrived on July 23, 2023. Gates and Gottschalk’s second child was also a boy, whom they named Max Asa Gottschalk. The Bachelor alum marked the joyous moment by sharing some adorable pictures of their baby boy.

In the caption, she wrote, “We welcomed our 2nd son on my 32nd birthday – July 23, 2023. Max Asa Gottschalk weighed 8 pounds and 1 ounce, 20 in long & was born at 8:10 am.”

“My prayer for my sons have been that they have an unbreakable bond & each having their own separate God Given gifts to give to the world. If the last few days are any indication of what the future holds, then my prayers have already been answered,” she concluded.

Since then, the husband-wife duo have been busy parenting their two children and doing everything possible to give their kids the best. And seeing how their relationship has blossomed, it’s inevitable that they are also the best parents to their sons.

It looks like Emma Chamberlain is back in the dating game and already has a new boyfriend.

Chamberlain broke up with her previous boyfriend, Role Model, whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury, in October 2023 after being together for over three years. Since then, she has not talked about dating anyone.

However, internet sleuths have figured out that the influencer might have a new boyfriend named Peter McPoland — McPoland is an American singer-songwriter and musician. It all started on the Reddit subreddit r/emmachamberlain.

A Redditor opined how they believed that Chamberlain had started dating a new boyfriend. They wrote that they were going through the social media personality’s 2024 Spotify playlist for music recommendations where they saw McPoland’s name twice.

They looked him up on Instagram and recognized the artist from an interview with Zach Sang, where he mentioned Chamberlain and talked about her and Pillsbury breaking up. McPoland revealed that he had not met Chamberlain at the time of that interview.

Seeing this, the Redditor decided to see McPoland’s followers list, where they found Chamberlain’s father and her friend Owen following him. As a result, they believe that McPoland is Chamberlain’s new boyfriend.

They wrote, “I definitely might be the only one who has noticed this, so I feel like I stalker, but I just needed to get other people’s thoughts.”

Other fans and followers of Chamberlain gave their opinion on the influencer’s dating rumor. Many believed that her father following McPoland on Instagram was a sign that the duo were together.

Another Redditor noticed that both Chamberlain and McPoland might have been in New York City on December 20, 2023. They wrote, “Emma & Peter both posted a ‘nyc’ post on their Instagram on Dec 20th.”

Many pointed out the similarities between McPoland and Pillsbury, claiming that Chamberlain had a type when it came to people she dated. A Redditor wrote, “Peter McPoland is so possible he’s literally a role model copy and paste.”

Another commented, “I just looked at his IG…not him being IDENTICAL to Tucker,” while a Redditor penned, “Same guy different font kind of thing going on.”

However, many believed that McPoland couldn’t be Chamberlain’s new boyfriend since he was dating his girlfriend, Lilly Flower.

A Redditor noted, “Peter actually has a gf (I sleuthed forever ago on him) she has photos of him and her up + he actively likes her photos.”

Flower is also a singer and often posts McPoland on Instagram. They went official with their relationship on Instagram on Valentine’s Day 2022. The last time Flower posted him on her social media was on November 17, 2023.

Since then, she has not posted anything related to McPoland, leading to the speculations of break up. However, McPoland still follows on her Instagram and is often seen liking her posts. So, it is unknown if the duo is still together or has broken up.

It looks like they are private about their relationship, seeing how McPoland still likes Flower’s posts and how Flower still hasn’t deleted photos with him from her social media, so they may still be dating.

However, unless McPoland or Flower comments on the situation, everything is mere speculation. Regardless, many believe that McPoland is Chamberlain’s new boyfriend.

Someone even asked DeuxMoi about their dating on the Instagram page’s IG Stories. However, DeuxMoi simply replied, “Who is Peter McPoland?”

So, unless Chamberlain confirms that she has a new boyfriend, nothing can be said for sure. That being said, Chamberlain often keeps her relationship and dating life out of the spotlight.

She did the same when she was dating Pillsbury from 2020 to 2023. They kept their relationship hidden for two years until they hard-launched it with GQ in February 2023. Pillsbury revealed that he slid into her DMs in 2020, and the duo started dating soon after.

He had contacted her after seeing one of her TikTok videos in 2020, and they chatted back and forth a few times before meeting at Chamberlain’s place for a casual date night, which the two first felt would not lead to anything more but did.

Pillsbury thought he ruined their date and confessed, “I thought we were never going to talk again. I almost cried on the way home. In my head, I was just like, ‘I [expletive] that up. We’re done, I got to move on.’”

However, they continued to date and made their red carpet debut as a couple at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in March 2022. Chamberlain also appeared in the music video for his single “neverletyougo.”

A couple of months after they revealed their relationship, the duo parted ways in October 2023. On November 17, 2023, Chamberlain talked about her breakup with E! News and said that she felt good.

She said, “I’m good, I feel really good. You know what? Everything falls into place as it should. I mean, I guess not everything, but a lot of things do, especially in this context. It always does.” She also said that she was investing her time in herself.

“Ultimately when there’s times where you’re alone, it’s time to invest into yourself. And that’s really exciting, and I think it’s a great opportunity to check back in with you. So, that’s how I’m kind of using this time,” she concluded her statement.

Parker Blaine – also known as Parker Noriega or Parker Blaine Noriega – has just revealed the craziest thing that an ex-boyfriend has done to her, saying she was cheated on by her ex-boyfriend Rook, MGK‘s drummer, while she was scattering her late brother’s ashes.

On Monday, January 22, 2024, YouTuber Mark Dohner released a new episode of his Livin’ Large Podcast featuring Blaine as the special guest. The episode was titled ‘Her Brother Passed Away From an Accidental Poisoning at 19.’

As many already know, Blaine is the sister of the late TikTok star Cooper Noriega. In the podcast, the host and guest discussed different topics, including Blaine’s family, her graduation, Cooper’s death, and so on.

Around the 22nd minute of the video, Dohner and Blaine converse about their respective dating lives and the use of dating apps like Raya and Tinder. Dohner mentions that he initially used Tinder but doesn’t use any dating apps anymore.

The podcast host then asks Blaine what the craziest thing an ex-boyfriend has done to her is. Blaine replied by saying that she has a lot of secrets to spill on that topic, but for now, she will only divulge one.

As she continued, she mentioned that one of her ex-boyfriends cheated on her while she was in Mexico, scattering her dead brother’s ashes in the ocean. She stated, “I have a lot of [explicit], but I’m going to keep some in the ball.”

“I could just say like one cheated when I was in Mexico, throwing my dead brother’s ashes in the ocean. That was cool, that was great, that was great,” she added. “How did you find out,” Dohner asked in disbelief.

Blaine then revealed that she found out about the cheating only a couple of months later. When asked about more details, she said that when she posted a picture with her now-former boyfriend for the first time, one girl immediately DMed her.

She said, “I found out like two months later. So [explicit]. He was a drummer boy, and I posted him one time, and this one time, I got, of course, a DM right after.” “Hey, girly!” she sarcastically mimicked the message sent by the unknown girl.

“And us girls know if a girl is dming you being like, ‘Hey girly!’ oh, you know some [explicit] is wrong,” she added. Blaine then mentioned that she opened the message, and the unknown girl mentioned that her then-boyfriend was with another girl a couple of months ago.

The wardrobe stylist’s words read, “So [I] immediately open it up like, oh he was with this girl like the other month or whatever. And I’m like, oh my God, oh my God and that was it.”

Afterward, Dohner asked if she confronted Rook about the cheating, which Blaine affirmed, saying, “Of course, I did.” She stated that upon confrontation, Rook initially lied about the cheating but ultimately admitted it.

“Of course, he lied and then of course he admitted it and was like. ‘She means nothing.’ Of course, the classic sob story,” she said, after which Dohner asked, “What drove him to do it?”

Blaine replied, “You know what? What drove him to do it? I don’t know that he can’t keep his [explicit] in his pants. I don’t know.” “That’s ridiculous; where did you find this guy?” Dohner asked immediately.

She didn’t answer the question but said, “Oh God! Don’t date a drummer.” The podcast host then asked if she knew who the girl was, to which Blaine mentioned that she had never met the girl in her life.

Dohner raised another question, asking his guest if the girl knew her then-boyfriend was already in a romantic relationship. “These girls don’t give a [explicit]. These girls out here in LA are savage, dude,” Blaine replied.

“It is a brutal ladder-climbing world out here. Everyone just thinks about themselves; they don’t care about their actions and the consequences of those actions, the impact it has on other people,” Dohner stated.

“They just want the best next thing or the next best thing. 100%,” Blaine added to Dohner’s statement. Dohner continued, “It’s truly insane like, I mean, I’ve been out here for 10 years, and dating has been tough.”

Blaine agreed with what Dohner said that dating is tough. As she went on, she mentioned that she couldn’t relate to it now as she is currently in a happy relationship with her boyfriend, but before that, it was hard, not the best, and “everyone is like so sus.”

The topic of conversation then moved on to different things. That said, while Blaine explicitly didn’t mention Rook was the guy who had cheated on her, Blaine’s hardcore fans, who are caught up with everything she does, immediately knew who she was talking about.

On the other hand, people in the comment section of the podcast episode were happy to learn that she had moved on from the cheating and is currently in a happy romantic relationship with her boyfriend. As of now, the identity of her new boyfriend remains unknown.
