Angel Carter Is Having a Baby Boy—and the Carter Family Is Getting a New Chapter
The late Aaron Carter’s twin sister is expecting her second child with husband Corey Conrad after an IVF journey, with daughter Harper already preparing for her big-sister era.
The Carter family group chat is about to get louder. Angel Carter, the twin sister of the late Aaron Carter, is pregnant with her second child—a baby boy she and husband Corey Conrad are expecting in March.
The announcement arrived in the most quietly cinematic way possible: Angel and Corey holding hands in the background while their 7-year-old daughter, Harper, posed with the sonogram. “Harper is getting a new title… Big Sister,” Angel wrote in an Oct. 1 Instagram post, adding a blue heart emoji and instantly giving the family’s next era its headline.
There is no overproduced celebrity pregnancy reveal here, no rented villa, no suspiciously branded balloon arch. Just a little girl, a sonogram and a family that has been through more loss than most people could process in a lifetime. Which is precisely why the news feels bigger than a standard celebrity baby update.
A long road to baby No. 2
Angel told People that conceiving Harper happened naturally, but when she and Corey decided they wanted another child, they learned IVF was their only option. The couple chose to move forward with the treatment, a decision Angel described as an emotional journey that gave her “a newfound respect” for women who have faced similar fertility struggles.
“We feel incredibly grateful for this next chapter,” she said, revealing that the baby is due in March. The wording is warm, but the road behind it is not being glossed over. Angel’s announcement makes room for the complicated middle of family-building: the hope, the uncertainty, the medical intervention and the relief of finally seeing a sonogram become a person everyone can start arguing over names for.
And yes, there is already a naming subplot. Angel teased that she and Corey would love to incorporate his initials—CC—into their son’s name. No name has been announced, but “CC” is now sitting there like a tiny clue in a family mystery. Cameron? Carter? Something much more inventive? The Carters are not giving away the answer yet.
Nick Carter is apparently ready for uncle duty
Angel’s older brother Nick Carter was reportedly especially excited to hear the baby was a boy. He and wife Lauren Kitt Carter are already parents to Odin, 10, Saoirse, 6, and Pearl, 5, which means Angel’s son will make Nick an uncle five times over.
That number carries unusual weight in the Carter family. Aaron welcomed a son, Prince, with Melanie Martin before his death in 2022. Angel and Nick’s sisters, Bobbie Jean and Leslie, were also mothers; Bobbie Jean died in 2023, while Leslie died in 2012. The family tree is full of children, but also absences—people who should still be around for the birthday calls, the chaotic holiday photos and the inevitable baby-name debates.
Angel has spoken publicly about finding courage in the aftermath of Aaron’s death, and this pregnancy arrives within that larger story rather than outside it. It is not a neat replacement narrative—new babies do not repair old losses—but it is a new point of connection for a family whose public history has often been defined by rupture.
Harper has been waiting for this promotion
According to Angel, Harper has wanted to become a big sister “for so many years.” That detail is almost aggressively relatable: the child who has been lobbying for a sibling long enough to believe the request is now legally binding.
Angel said Harper will be “such a big help” and that she and Corey cannot wait to watch the siblings’ relationship grow. The family’s social-media reveal keeps the focus on that dynamic, with Harper physically holding the image of the baby who will soon change the household rhythm—more noise, more laundry, more negotiations over who gets to press the elevator button.
There is also something striking about how little the announcement tries to perform perfection. Angel’s message is celebratory, but her comments about IVF acknowledge that getting here was not effortless. In the age of immaculate family branding, that bit of honesty lands harder than another carefully coordinated beige nursery reveal.
A Carter update with actual emotional stakes
The Carter name has been part of the pop-culture conversation for decades, from the sibling photos and television appearances of the 2000s to the painful headlines that followed. Nick became a global pop star with the Backstreet Boys; Aaron grew up in the glare of teen-pop fame; Angel has since spoken about mental health and the impact of losing multiple siblings.
That history makes this baby announcement feel less like a random celebrity calendar item and more like a rare glimpse of the family moving forward in public, carefully but not silently. There is joy in it, certainly. There is also memory. The blue heart, the sonogram, the big-sister caption—small details, but loaded ones.
For now, the Carter family has a due month, a baby boy and one possible naming clue. Harper has a new title coming. Nick is apparently thrilled. Angel and Corey are entering the final stretch of an IVF journey that took them somewhere they had hoped to go. And somewhere in the family group chat, “CC” is probably being attached to an alarming number of baby-name suggestions.
Jim Carrey Just Went From Private Romance to Surprise Marriage in Seven Months
The famously mercurial star quietly married Min Ah in Los Angeles after introducing her to the world at the César Awards — with his daughter and grandson in the front row of the love story.
Jim Carrey has always understood the value of a dramatic entrance. He built a career out of spring-loaded eyebrows, rubber-faced reactions and emotional whiplash delivered at full volume. But when it came to his latest romantic plot twist, the actor chose the opposite approach: no splashy engagement reveal, no glossy magazine spread, no social-media countdown. Just a private Los Angeles ceremony and a marriage announcement that arrived like a very elegant jump scare.
Carrey recently married his longtime girlfriend, Min Ah, in a small private ceremony in Los Angeles, according to TMZ, as reported by Page Six. The wedding comes only seven months after the couple made their public debut at the César Awards in Paris, where Carrey accepted an honorary César for his career.
That is a remarkably efficient celebrity relationship timeline: years of keeping things mostly out of frame, one high-glamour European red carpet, one deeply affectionate acceptance speech, and then — surprise — vows.
The soft launch was anything but casual
Carrey and Min Ah first sparked public interest in February, when she sat beside his daughter, Jane, and grandson, Jackson, at the César Awards. The family seating arrangement had the unmistakable energy of a relationship that had already moved well beyond the “mysterious person standing three feet behind me” stage.
Carrey, 64, accepted his honorary award in French and used the speech to thank his family before turning his attention to Min Ah. “Thank you to my wonderful family, my daughter Jane, and my grandson Jackson. I love you now and forever. Thank you to my sublime companion, Min Ah. I love you, Min Ah,” he said.
“Sublime companion” is not exactly a throwaway phrase. It sounds like something written in a velvet-lined notebook and read aloud beneath a chandelier. For a man whose public image has often been defined by comic excess, the moment was notably tender — and very deliberate. Carrey did not simply thank a date. He gave Min Ah a starring role in one of the biggest public moments of his recent life.
Jane, 38, is Carrey’s daughter with his first wife, Melissa Womer. Her presence alongside Min Ah and Jackson made the Paris appearance feel less like a standard celebrity plus-one situation and more like an introduction to the family ecosystem.
From Largo to Los Angeles vows
The relationship itself appears to have been developing quietly for years. Carrey and Min Ah were first photographed together in February 2022 after leaving a charity comedy show hosted by Judd Apatow at Largo in Los Angeles, according to People.
That sighting now reads differently. At the time, it was the familiar celebrity mystery: two people leaving an intimate industry-adjacent event, possibly together, possibly merely walking in the same direction while photographers did what photographers do. Four years later, the low-key exit has been retroactively upgraded into the opening scene of a marriage.
It is also a reminder that celebrity couples do not have to perform every stage of a relationship in real time. Carrey and Min Ah appear to have skipped the exhausting public itinerary of constant restaurant photos, matching vacation posts and strategically blurry Instagram Stories. Instead, the first major public chapter happened at an awards ceremony in Paris, with family nearby and Carrey speaking about her in language that made the relationship impossible to dismiss as casual.
Then came the wedding, reportedly in Los Angeles and kept private. No elaborate celebrity spectacle is attached to the ceremony in the report, which feels on-brand for a couple that spent years keeping their connection largely away from the spotlight.
Carrey’s romantic history has its own cinematic universe
This is Carrey’s third marriage. He married Womer, a former actress and Comedy Store waitress, in 1987. They divorced in 1995, after welcoming Jane. In 1996, he married his Dumb and Dumber co-star Lauren Holly; that marriage lasted less than a year and ended in 1997.
Carrey later had one of Hollywood’s most visible celebrity relationships with model and actress Jenny McCarthy. They dated from 2005 to 2010, a period that made them a familiar fixture on red carpets and entertainment covers. He was also linked to his Kidding co-star Ginger Gonzaga after the pair made their red-carpet debut at the Showtime Golden Globes Nominees Celebration in January 2019. They split later that year.
Against that backdrop, the Min Ah relationship has been unusually quiet. There has been no long-running tabloid theater, no public breakup cycle and no heavily managed couple-brand campaign. Even the public debut arrived only when the setting — an honorary award in Paris — made it feel natural.
That restraint makes the marriage announcement more surprising, but it also gives it a certain romantic logic. Some celebrity relationships are built for the camera. Others merely happen to be photographed by one.
The internet was already watching Carrey’s latest era
The César Awards appearance generated a separate wave of online chatter when social-media users speculated about changes in Carrey’s appearance and even questioned whether he had undergone plastic surgery. The conversation became strange enough that his representative, Marleah Leslie, pushed back on claims that a “clone” or impersonator had appeared at the ceremony.
“Jim Carrey attended the César Awards, where he accepted his Honorary César Award,” Leslie told Page Six on March 2.
It was an odd bit of internet noise to attach to an otherwise affectionate night: Carrey receiving one of France’s major film honors, thanking his family in French, publicly praising Min Ah — and the internet deciding to investigate his face like it had been assigned a cold case.
But that is the modern celebrity experience in miniature. A private man steps into public view for one meaningful occasion, and the audience immediately starts analyzing the romance, the styling, the family seating chart and the contours of his forehead. Carrey and Min Ah managed to keep a relationship private for years, only to make their debut at an event where every glance was guaranteed to be dissected.
Now they have taken the most consequential step of all, still without turning the relationship into a content franchise. A wedding after a long quiet courtship, a family-centered public debut and a husband who called his partner “sublime”: it is not the loudest love story in Hollywood. It may be the one with the best timing.
Bethenny Frankel’s Ex-Husband Update Is the Least Friendly “We’re Fine” in New York
Years after a two-year marriage became a decade-long legal saga, the RHONY alum says she and Jason Hoppy “both exist on this earth” — which is not exactly a Hallmark card.
Bethenny Frankel has offered the kind of co-parenting update that makes “we’re on good terms” sound like an ambitious fantasy.
Appearing on the September 29 episode of Benny Blanco’s Friends Keep Secrets podcast, the Real Housewives of New York City alum gave a status report on her relationship with ex-husband Jason Hoppy. Her answer was less “we’ve found peace” and more “the ceasefire is holding, technically.”
“Not exactly” friendly, Frankel said when asked where the two stand now. Then came the line destined to live forever in the museum of brutally minimalist celebrity diplomacy: “We do both exist on this earth, so that’s positive.”
It is bleak, funny and extremely Bethenny — a sentence that manages to acknowledge another person’s existence while declining to make any claims about emotional warmth, holiday-card exchanges or spontaneous brunches.
A Two-Year Marriage, a Ten-Year War
Frankel, 55, and Hoppy, 56, married in 2010 and split in 2012. What followed was not a tidy reality-TV breakup where the exes trade a few pointed confessionals, unfollow each other and move on to separate branded margarita empires.
Their divorce became a prolonged and bitter legal battle, including a custody fight over their daughter, Bryn. The pair reached a custody agreement in 2014, but their divorce was not finalized until 2021 — nearly a decade after the marriage itself ended.
Frankel described the experience on the podcast as “torture” and “traumatic,” calling the proceedings anything but a routine split. “Ten years on a two-year marriage,” she said, capturing the strange math of a relationship that ended quickly on paper but continued to occupy an enormous amount of legal and emotional real estate.
That timeline is what gives her latest update its particular charge. This is not an ex-couple still working through the ordinary awkwardness of shared friend groups or one unfortunate vacation photo. This is a former marriage whose afterlife lasted dramatically longer than the marriage, with custody and conflict keeping the connection active long after romance disappeared.
“We Both Exist” Is the New Co-Parenting Chic
Frankel’s language is striking because it refuses the polished celebrity vocabulary usually deployed around exes. There is no “we’re in a great place,” no “we’re better as friends,” no cheerful suggestion that the pain has been transformed into a beautiful blended-family journey.
Instead, there is existence. Earth. Positive, apparently.
It sounds like a joke, but it also reflects the reality of a relationship that has been difficult for years. Not every former couple gets a redemption arc. Sometimes the mature outcome is not friendship; it is distance, boundaries and a shared understanding that the person will remain in your orbit because your child is there.
Frankel said the past year has been “strained” and “challenging,” without offering a glossy explanation or pretending that time has automatically made everything comfortable. That may be the most revealing part of the update. Celebrity culture loves the idea that enough healing, therapy, matching family pajamas and a well-lit podcast appearance can turn any ugly chapter into a lesson. Frankel is offering something messier: a relationship that remains unresolved in feeling while still functioning in reality.
The Custody Battle That Still Defines the Story
Frankel called the custody battle the “horrible, horrendous, worst of my life,” but said it was worth enduring because of her bond with Bryn, now 16. She spoke warmly about the moments when they watch something together, laugh and connect, describing her daughter as her best friend.
Then she added the bittersweet complication: they are now on “different paths” and their relationship can feel “almost like a roommate in a way.”
That is another very un-branded description of motherhood. It is affectionate without being sentimental, intimate without pretending that a teenager and her mother occupy the same emotional zip code. Frankel compared them to “Thelma and Louise,” while acknowledging that they are in “totally different chapters” and respect each other’s chapters.
The juxtaposition matters. Frankel can describe her connection with Bryn as loving and deeply meaningful while also admitting that parenting a 16-year-old is not a permanent sleepover with your favorite person. The dynamic is changing, and she is naming that change instead of forcing it into a tidy “my mini-me” narrative.
A New Romance, an Old Shadow
The timing adds one more layer to the conversation: Frankel recently hard launched a new boyfriend on Instagram. The podcast appearance therefore lands at an interesting moment in her public life, with a new relationship entering the frame while the old one remains emotionally and legally significant.
That does not mean the two events are connected, and Frankel did not present them that way. But celebrity relationships rarely arrive in a vacuum. A new romance can make an old chapter look finished from the outside, even when the practical and emotional threads are still there — especially when a child, a custody history and years of legal conflict remain part of the story.
Frankel’s update is not a reconciliation tease. It is not a secret-friendship reveal or a sudden “we’ve both grown so much” announcement. It is closer to an anti-fairytale: the marriage ended, the divorce eventually ended, the parenting relationship continues, and the exes are still not exactly friendly.
For anyone expecting a grand peace treaty, “we do both exist on this earth” is admittedly a low bar. But after a decade-long divorce saga, low-drama logistics may be the closest thing to luxury. Bethenny Frankel is not selling closure. She is reporting the weather from a very specific emotional climate: cloudy, strained, occasionally survivable, with no chance of a matching Christmas card.
