Mama June Lists Jessica Shannon’s Unaltered Wedding Dress
Jessica “Chubbs” Shannon’s marriage may be over, but her wedding dress is getting a second act on the resale market. Her mother, June “Mama June” Shannon, is offering the gown for $800 after reportedly paying $1,500 for it.
In an Instagram post cited by Us Weekly on September 6, June described the dress as a size 20W, unaltered and equipped with pockets. She also said it has not been dry-cleaned but has “no stains,” a detail that is either reassuring, brutally practical or both. Buyers can request shipping or arrange local pickup in Gray, Georgia, with June asking for serious inquiries.
The timing gives the listing its sharper edge. Jessica’s divorce from Shyann McCant was finalized on August 27, according to court documents obtained by Us Weekly, making the dress sale arrive roughly a week after the marriage was legally dissolved. Jessica’s maiden name was restored as part of the proceedings.
The court documents also state that the former spouses are restrained from harassing each other. That is a legal boundary, not evidence of any particular dispute, and the available reporting does not establish why the marriage ended. What is clear is that the dress is being treated as a sellable item rather than a keepsake—and June’s listing supplies unusually specific shopping information for anyone willing to buy a gown with a very recent backstory.
There is no indication in the supplied reporting that the dress has sold. For now, this is a public listing attached to a finalized divorce, not a confirmed buyer or a new chapter with a guaranteed ending.
Jana Kramer’s Coparenting Rules After Mike Caussin Divorce
Jana Kramer is sharing the less glamorous side of post-divorce life: you can end a marriage, but you cannot exactly unsubscribe from the person you share children with. In an Instagram post dated September 5, Kramer described the coparenting lessons she has picked up since her divorce from Mike Caussin.
According to Us Weekly’s report, Kramer said the emotional fallout of a marriage ending does not disappear simply because the legal relationship is over. She explained that she had to learn to separate the former couple dynamic from the parenting partnership, a process she associated with time, healing and personal growth.
Her biggest challenge, she said, has been releasing control. The two households do not operate identically, and Kramer acknowledged that what happens at Caussin’s home will not always mirror her own routines. Her approach now is to involve him when a decision is something he would reasonably want a voice in, trusting that he will extend the same consideration to her.
That is a notably practical message from someone who has been publicly documenting the family’s coparenting progress since the couple split in April 2021. Kramer and Caussin were married from 2015 to 2021 and share daughter Jolie, 10, and son Jace, 7. Her warning that children should not be pushed into choosing sides lands less like a social-media slogan and more like the central rule of the arrangement.
The family picture has also changed since the divorce. Kramer married Scottish soccer coach Allan Russell in Scotland in 2024, and they welcomed son Roman in 2023. That makes her latest advice relevant beyond a former couple trying to coordinate calendars: it is part of navigating a larger blended-family structure without turning every difference between households into a courtroom drama.
There is no indication here of a new dispute between Kramer and Caussin. The news is that Kramer is presenting coparenting as ongoing work rather than a neat happily-ever-after milestone—a refreshingly honest position for a family arrangement that requires repetition, restraint and fewer attempts to run the other household.
Gloria Steinem’s 1968 Convention Date Came With Credentials
Before Gloria Steinem became one of America’s most recognizable feminist voices, she apparently knew how to negotiate her way onto a convention floor. In an account published by Page Six, former Manhattan Borough President Andrew Stein recalled meeting Steinem during the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago—and offering her his credentials in exchange for dinner.
Stein, who said he was the convention’s youngest delegate and was 81 when he shared the memory, described the event as a scene of tanks, tear gas and bayonets unfolding amid protests over the Vietnam War. Access to the floor was tightly restricted, according to his recollection, which made Steinem’s request for his pass more than a cute opening line.
His version of the bargain was straightforward: she could use the credentials for the day if she agreed to have dinner with him. Stein said Steinem accepted, turning a piece of political access into what he characterized as a romantic fling. The anecdote comes from Stein’s own recollection, as relayed to Page Six, rather than from independent corroboration in the supplied coverage.
The relationship, by Stein’s account, outlasted the romance. He said the two remained friends and spoke by phone late into the night for decades. That detail gives the story more shape than a one-night convention anecdote: Steinem was not merely a famous name from his past, but someone who remained part of his personal orbit long after their date.
There was eventually a political expiration date. Stein said he and Steinem fell out in 2016 over Donald Trump, showing how a friendship that survived decades of changing public lives could still buckle under a sharply divided political moment. Page Six presented the recollection after reporting Steinem’s death at 92, framing the old romance as a newly surfaced chapter in her long public story.
The irresistible part is the logistics: in the middle of one of the most chaotic conventions in American history, Steinem allegedly needed a delegate’s pass—and got one by agreeing to dinner. The romance is sourced to Stein’s memory, while the larger backdrop of the convention and Steinem’s reporting career is well established in the account.
