Brody Jenner Is Officially a Girl Dad of Two—and Baby Dolly Jane Has Already Joined the Family Group Chat
The Hills alum and Tia Blanco welcomed their second daughter, turning their little family of three into a very Jenner-Blanco party of four.
Brody Jenner has entered his girl-dad era twice over. The Hills alum and his wife, Tia Blanco, have welcomed their second child together, a daughter named Dolly Jane Jenner, and the name alone feels like it arrived wearing a tiny pair of cowboy boots.
Jenner shared the news on Instagram September 26 alongside sweet photos of the family meeting their newest member. According to his announcement, Dolly was born on September 21—International World Peace Day—after Blanco experienced what he described as an “intense but quick unmedicated labor.” Mother and baby are healthy, and the family has officially expanded from three to four.
“Officially a girl dad to 2,” Jenner wrote, in the sort of caption that makes a celebrity announcement feel less like a press release and more like a man who has just discovered he is outnumbered by tiny women.
Meet Dolly Jane Jenner, the newest family celebrity
Dolly joins big sister Honey, who is three. Jenner and Blanco announced they were expecting their second baby in March with a family photo that had all the classic soft-launch ingredients: the couple sharing a kiss, toddler Honey planting one on her mother’s stomach, and a caption declaring that “our little Honey is going to be a big sister this September.”
Now the September baby has arrived, and the family’s original trio has become a quartet. Jenner’s caption was openly emotional, describing his wife as someone he was proud to watch become a mother “all over again.” He added that their family is “everything” to him and that seeing it grow from three to four was a feeling he would never forget.
Blanco, a professional surfer and model, and Jenner married in 2025 after welcoming Honey in 2023. Their relationship has mostly occupied the sunnier, lower-drama corner of the extended Kardashian-Jenner universe, a welcome contrast to the family’s more famously televised storms. There are no televised courtroom battles here, no suspiciously timed unfollows, no reunion couch ambushes—just a newborn, a toddler, and a father proudly announcing that he now lives in a permanent pink-team huddle.
Linda Thompson is already in full grandmother mode
The first family reaction came from Jenner’s mother, Linda Thompson, who made it clear she had been waiting for permission to show off her new grandbaby. In the comments, Thompson wrote that she was “absolutely thrilled” to have another baby girl to love and called Brody and Tia “the most amazing parents.”
She also admitted she had been “chomping at the bit to show her off,” which is perhaps the most relatable sentence ever written by a grandmother adjacent to a celebrity birth. The family, apparently, had to hold the line until the parents gave the green light. Even in a famous family, there is still a newborn-photo approval process—and a grandmother waiting impatiently in the comments.
Thompson’s message also gave the announcement a little emotional texture. She described Brody and Tia as everything a mother and father should be, adding that she was already in love with Dolly. It is a warm response, but it also lands in the larger story of Brody’s relationship with his own father, Caitlyn Jenner.
Brody has been candid about building the fatherhood he wanted
Brody has spoken publicly about how his strained relationship with Caitlyn shaped the kind of father he wanted to become. In a 2025 interview with People, he said Caitlyn was not completely absent but “wasn’t around for me growing up that much.” He framed that experience as motivation to be more present with his own children.
“I still say I definitely am going to be much more present as a father,” he said, adding that the experience taught him to show up differently. Brody has said the two are now “in a good place,” but the history remains part of the way he talks about parenthood: less as a glossy celebrity accessory and more as a chance to rewrite a family pattern.
That theme was already visible when Honey was born. In a 2023 YouTube video documenting her arrival, Jenner said he had not been sure he could have children and credited Blanco with making the possibility feel real. He called her his “better half” and said she was the perfect person for him.
Three years later, that first-time-parent awe has become a two-kid household. The sentiment is still there, but now it comes with the logistical reality of a newborn, a preschool-age child, and a mother recovering from labor. Jenner’s post focused on the gratitude and emotion of the moment, while the family’s next era will presumably involve the glamorous celebrity-parent essentials: sleep deprivation, tiny socks, and trying to keep Honey from attempting to “help” with the baby at the exact wrong moment.
The Jenner family baby boom keeps getting busier
Dolly’s arrival also places Brody inside a particularly crowded celebrity baby season. The source announcement arrives alongside news of new children welcomed by names including Taylor Lautner and Tay Lautner, Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi, Lena Dunham and Luis Felber, Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky, and Marc Anthony and Nadia Ferreira.
That is an unusually starry nursery roll call, but Brody’s announcement has its own specific hook: it is not just another famous couple introducing a baby. It is a recognizable reality-TV family member leaning into a version of fame that feels more domestic than chaotic. Brody first became widely known through The Hills, later appeared in Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and spent years orbiting a family brand built on public drama. These days, his most personal updates are about fatherhood, marriage, and the people he wants closest to him.
And then there is the name: Dolly Jane. It sounds classic, bright and slightly old-Hollywood, with just enough country sweetness to make it instantly memorable. Honey and Dolly also make a very deliberate sibling pairing—short, vintage-leaning names that sound less like a celebrity branding exercise and more like characters who would run away to open a flower shop together.
For now, Jenner is simply celebrating the newest member of his family. “Mama & baby are in perfect health,” he wrote, before turning the spotlight back to Blanco and the experience of watching her become a mother again. The Hills may have been about glossy apartments, complicated romances and people dramatically announcing that they wanted to make it work. Brody’s current storyline is quieter, but the stakes are considerably cuter: two daughters, one wife, and a new family photo every time the grandmother gets the green light.
Julia Haart’s Divorce Didn’t Just Get Messy — It Became a Full Netflix-Adjacent Corporate War
The My Unorthodox Life star’s split from Silvio Scaglia spiraled from a divorce filing into restraining-order claims, a Bentley dispute, competing accusations over company money and a reality show filming in the middle of it all.
Some divorces end with a sad statement, an unfollow and a suspiciously serene beach photo. Julia Haart and Silvio Scaglia’s breakup chose a different genre: corporate warfare, emergency court filings, a luxury car dispute, accusations of financial misconduct and a Netflix camera crew hovering nearby like it had been summoned by the drama gods.
Haart, the star of My Unorthodox Life, filed to end her marriage to Scaglia in February 2022, after two years together. Within days, the split had detonated across multiple fronts. There were allegations of threatening and abusive behavior, claims involving company funds, a fight over Haart’s position at Elite World Group and a police complaint concerning a $401,500 Bentley.
It was not simply a celebrity breakup. It was a breakup with a boardroom, a family history, a luxury fashion wardrobe and an active television production attached.
The marriage was already a business partnership with excellent lighting
Haart and Scaglia’s relationship had always occupied that glossy, slightly unstable space where romance and empire blur together. Scaglia, the tech entrepreneur behind Fastweb, owned Elite World Group, the modeling and talent agency that Haart later ran as CEO. Their marriage was also folded into the broader architecture of the companies they controlled, making the eventual split less “who gets the good sofa?” and more “who controls the company, the accounts and the story?”
Before the breakup, Haart described their working dynamic to The New York Times in unusually candid terms. She joked that she was “horrible” to him professionally, while also saying she respected how worldly he was and enjoyed that he could absorb her intensity. It was a very Haartian portrait of a relationship: sharp, glamorous and powered by a mutual fascination with control.
By early 2022, that chemistry had curdled. Us reported that Haart was removed from her role at Elite World Group before the divorce news became public. An insider said she was blindsided and was consulting an attorney. Scaglia’s side, meanwhile, alleged that Haart had misused company money and described the dispute as a factual financial matter rather than a romantic collapse.
Haart disputed those accusations. Her attorney, Marty Singer, said the claims were an attempt to distract from Scaglia’s own business history and argued that the company’s value had increased substantially under Haart’s leadership. In other words: the divorce came with competing narratives about who built the house, who owned the house and who had allegedly started taking furniture out after being locked out.
Then came the restraining-order claims
Shortly after filing for divorce, Haart petitioned for a restraining order against Scaglia, alleging that she felt terrified of him and describing a pattern of verbal abuse. Her filing claimed that he called her names including “a venomous snake,” “a monster” and “a liar,” and alleged that he threatened her after she confronted him about his behavior.
Those were Haart’s allegations, not findings by a court. But the language in the filing was severe enough to shift the story from rich-people divorce spectacle into something much more serious. Her daughter Miriam also submitted a statement alleging that she once found Haart crying on a bathroom floor and feared for her safety.
Haart’s filing included another deeply personal point of conflict: religion and family. She alleged that Scaglia insulted her youngest son over his religious beliefs and objected angrily to Shabbos in their home. The details connected the marriage’s collapse to the larger story of Haart’s life, which My Unorthodox Life had already framed around leaving a strict Jewish community and building a new identity on her own terms.
Scaglia’s representatives denied the allegations and questioned whether Haart had actually served him with a restraining-order motion. A spokesperson characterized the claims as an attempt to divert attention from the company’s financial allegations. His side also denied that he had shown disrespect toward Judaism or Jewish tradition.
The Bentley became a supporting character
The corporate fight soon acquired the most reality-TV object imaginable: a very expensive car.
After Haart was terminated from Elite World Group, Scaglia reported a Bentley worth $401,500 as stolen, alleging that she was no longer authorized to use it. According to Us, he gave her seven days to return the vehicle before contacting police. Haart could potentially face a misdemeanor charge for unauthorized use, although a source close to the situation said the NYPD did not plan to arrest her and would instead issue a summons.
That episode was perfectly on-brand for a feud that refused to remain in one lane. The argument was simultaneously about employment, property, money, access and humiliation. A former CEO allegedly holding on to a luxury company car after being fired is not just a legal subplot; it is the sort of detail that makes a television audience sit forward and say, “Wait, the Bentley too?”
Scaglia’s legal claims also accused Haart of spending more than $2 million in company money during 2021 on items including designer clothing, shoes, vacations and cosmetic procedures. His representatives described the company as having been treated like a personal piggy bank. Haart denied taking money that did not belong to her and called the allegations “ludicrous” in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
She also filed her own lawsuit, alleging that Scaglia withdrew $1.5 million from an account holding her CEO compensation and that he had misled her about the ownership and control of their business structure. Her complaint described the arrangement as “indentured servitude,” a phrase that instantly transformed a complicated corporate dispute into a headline with a pulse.
And, naturally, Netflix was already filming
The most surreal part was the timing. Production on the second season of My Unorthodox Life had reportedly begun before the breakup became public. A source told Us that cameras would capture everything, turning the implosion of Haart’s marriage and business life into potential television material.
Scaglia’s lawyer later challenged Netflix’s right to continue filming while the legal battles were underway. That added yet another layer to the spectacle: the private conflict was not only playing out in court and through statements to the press, but potentially inside a reality series built around Haart’s family, ambition and reinvention.
Haart told Entertainment Tonight that the breakup was not how she planned things, but said the experience forced her to confront her dependence on male approval and her desire to become more independent. It was a familiar theme from her public story, only now with lawyers, corporate accounts and a disputed Bentley crowding the frame.
The result was a split that became bigger than the marriage itself. It touched Haart’s children, her religious history, her fashion-business persona, her television narrative and the question of who gets to control a shared empire once the romance is over. Most celebrity divorces produce a statement. This one produced a franchise.
Audrina Patridge Is Single Again—and Her Very Private Country Romance Just Got Extremely Public
The Hills star and Michael Ray have split after about two years together, ending a relationship that once sounded suspiciously like the rare celebrity love story built on staying home.
Audrina Patridge is back on the market, and the breakup arrives with the peculiar timing of a celebrity relationship that spent two years trying not to become a storyline.
The Hills star has split from country singer Michael Ray after roughly two years of dating, according to Us Weekly. Patridge confirmed the breakup while discussing her life after the relationship in an interview with People. She said she has been single since July and is “not rushing into anything,” which is either the emotionally healthy answer or the exact sentence a famous woman gives when she is about to be asked whether she has downloaded the apps.
For now, Patridge says she is still open to marriage someday, but she is figuring out what she wants next. Her preferred route back into romance is notably old-school: mutual friends, real-life setups, and going out in person. “I’m not a big internet person,” she said. In a dating culture powered by sliding into DMs and soft-launch archaeology, that is almost aggressively analog.
The relationship was quieter than the breakup
Patridge and Ray were never the kind of couple who seemed desperate to turn every dinner into a content opportunity. In a May interview with Us Weekly, Patridge described Ray as private and said their time together was mostly about being present, cooking dinner and staying in at home. The relationship’s appeal, at least from the way she talked about it, was its lack of spectacle.
That made the romance a particularly interesting chapter for Patridge, whose adult life has unfolded in public since The Hills made Los Angeles restaurants, beach houses and suspiciously timed tears into prime-time events. She told Us that meeting Ray was unexpected because she had been comfortable on her own. Her mindset, she said, had been essentially: she did not need a man, she had her daughter, and she was ready for “girl power” and world travel.
Then Ray showed up, and the two clicked. Patridge said their chemistry made her reconsider the idea that being happily single was necessarily the final destination. In that same interview, she was open to the possibility of engagement, explaining that she and Ray had both been through divorces and knew more clearly what they did and did not want.
That future now belongs to the category of celebrity “maybe someday” plans that never made it to the ring. There was no engagement announcement, no dramatic public split statement and no grand finale staged beneath a suspiciously perfect sunset. Just a relationship that appears to have run its course, followed by the slow, familiar social-media aftertaste.
Enter the unfollow, celebrity internet’s favorite tiny earthquake
Some fans noticed that Patridge had recently unfollowed Ray on Instagram. Neither has publicly explained what led to the breakup, so the unfollow is not a breakup thesis. It is simply the kind of small digital movement that sends the internet into a full investigative mood, especially when the couple in question had kept their romance relatively contained.
Unfollowing an ex can mean anything from “I need space” to “I am cleaning up my feed” to “please stop appearing in my phone every time I open the app.” The point is less the button itself than the way celebrity relationships now leave behind a trail of omissions: a missing follow, an absent comment, a photo that suddenly feels like it was posted by a different era of the relationship.
Patridge and Ray had already built their public image around privacy, which means even a minor Instagram change can feel louder than a formal announcement. When a couple has not spent two years narrating itself online, the audience starts reading the silence. Fans think the unfollow is part of the breakup story; the former couple, so far, is not offering a director’s commentary.
Two divorces, one daughter and a summer that kept moving
Patridge’s approach to this split is shaped by a life that has already included a very public marriage and motherhood. She was married to Corey Bohan from 2016 to 2018, and they share a 10-year-old daughter, Kirra. Ray was previously married to singer Carly Pearce; they wed in October 2019 and divorced the following year.
Those histories were part of why Patridge said her relationship with Ray felt different. Both had experienced marriage and divorce, and she suggested that shared history gave them a clearer sense of the work, expectations and incompatible habits that can shape a partnership. There is something almost disarmingly practical about that framing. Not “we were soulmates.” Not “we were toxic.” Just two adults who had been around the relationship block and thought they might know how to take a better route the second time.
Even as the romance ended, Patridge’s summer did not exactly collapse into a black-and-white breakup montage. She spent time with family in South Dakota, taking Kirra from the Black Hills to the family farm. In an Instagram post, she described the trip as a return to their roots and a chance to share family history “at the sweetest age,” when her daughter wanted to hear all the stories.
That detail gives the breakup a more grounded shape than the usual celebrity split cycle. There is no suggestion that the end of the relationship erased the rest of Patridge’s life. There was family, travel and a daughter growing into the age where inherited stories suddenly become fascinating. There was also, apparently, a summer of figuring out what comes next without sprinting toward the next man with a verified account.
Patridge says she is looking for someone with a good heart, strong family ties, morals and values—and someone whose lifestyle actually aligns with hers. It is a sensible wish list, though celebrity romance has repeatedly demonstrated that good intentions are no match for incompatible schedules, public scrutiny and the cursed ability of Instagram to turn a missing follow into a national conversation.
So Audrina Patridge is single again. She is open to love, possibly still open to marriage, emphatically not rushing, and apparently willing to let friends play matchmaker before the algorithm does. After a quiet romance and a quiet split, the most Hills-adjacent thing about the whole situation may be that everyone else is doing the dramatic overreading for her.
