After expressing his dissatisfaction with what he called the startling lifestyle disparity he consistently saw in Abuja, a social media user ignited a contentious discussion.

He claims that too many people in the city pay their gatemen only 30,000 naira a month despite living in homes valued at 100–200 million naira, owning powerful V8 engines, and sending their kids to schools that cost more than a million naira per term.

He didn’t hold back and called it wickedness, especially considering that these same gatemen take care of everything: car washes, compound cleaning, flower trimming, running errands for the whole family, maintaining the generator house, and even spending the night on the property to deal with invaders.

According to Swiss officials, the husband who allegedly decapitated his Miss Switzerland finalist wife, cut out her womb, and pureed her body parts in a blender while watching YouTube videos has been officially charged with her murder.

The 38-year-old former beauty queen Kristina Joksimovic was discovered dismembered in her Binningen, Switzerland, home in February 2024. Her husband is said to have confessed to strangling her.

On Wednesday, December 10, when the Basel-Landschaft Public Prosecutor’s Office closed its investigation, her husband—who was only identified as Thomas in Swiss media accounts due to privacy laws—was charged with murder.

There is currently no definite date for the trial.

A jigsaw, knife, and garden shears were used to dismember Joksimovic’s body, according to an autopsy report and court records that the Daily Mail was able to get.

According to an autopsy report, Thomas, 43, allegedly took Joksimovic’s womb, the sole organ removed from her torso.

Officials verified that a number of her body parts were then “pureed,” broken up using an industrial mixer, and dissolved in a chemical solution.

According to court filings, investigators then discovered that Thomas was using his phone to view YouTube videos while he dismembered the model.

According to a friend who spoke to the Daily Mail, Joksimovic’s shocked father found her mutilated body when he noticed blond hair protruding from a black bag in the laundry room.

The blender and the model’s remnants, which included pieces of bone and skin flaps with muscles still attached, were discovered by investigators.

According to the postmortem report, Thomas allegedly removed his wife’s upper left arm, forearms, and right lower leg after breaking her hip joints out of their sockets.

According to the account, he then chopped off her head by severing her spine.

According to reports, the model’s husband, who is also the father of their two girls, acknowledged that he killed her in March, but he claimed it was self-defense after she had previously assaulted him with a knife.

After her father, Thomas Markle, was admitted to the hospital for a leg amputation, Meghan Markle was finally able to send him a letter.

After Thomas told the Daily Mail that he hadn’t heard from the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan’s representative verified to Page Six on Wednesday, December 10, that she had contacted Thomas.

“Given that a Daily Mail reporter has remained at her father’s bedside throughout, broadcasting each interaction and breaching clear ethical boundaries, it has been exceedingly difficult for the Duchess to contact her father privately, despite her efforts over the past several days,” Meghan’s spokesperson said in a fiery statement. 

The rep added, “With the support of reliable and trusted contacts, her correspondence is now safely in his hands.” 

The statement followed rumors that Meghan, 44, was unable to get in touch with her father, 81, following his medical treatment last week at a hospital in the Philippines.

“There’s been progress, but she hasn’t made contact [yet],” an insider told The Times UK, adding, “It’s hoped and expected that there will be some form of communication in the next 24 hours.” 

Last week, Page Six verified that Meghan had been attempting to get in touch with her father, a retired lighting director, by phoning nearby hospitals.

Samantha Markle, Meghan’s estranged sister, asserted in multiple posts on X that the former actress had not communicated with their father.

Their father told the Daily Mail that he has never changed his phone number and that Meghan could easily reach him, expressing astonishment over the stories of her attempt to get in touch.

Additionally, he expressed his wish to make amends with Meghan, stating that he does not wish to “di£ estranged.”

Nearly 200 infants in Europe have been fathered by sperm from a donor who unintentionally carried a serious genetic abnormality, raising concerns among authorities, medical professionals, and the impacted families. About 20% of the donor’s sperm had a mutation in the TP53 gene, a crucial tumor-suppressor that prevents cancer cells from proliferating. The donor was healthy and unaware of any health problems. Li-Fraumeni syndrome, a genetic disorder that puts carriers at up to 90% risk of acquiring cancer before the age of 60, with a particularly high likelihood of childhood cancer, is now present in children conceived with sperm carrying the mutation.

A few British women who traveled overseas for fertility treatment were among the recipients, according to the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority (HFEA). After conducting a combined investigation with thirteen other public service broadcasters as part of the Investigative Journalism Network of the European Broadcasting Union, the BBC discovered the case. The study found that the donor’s sperm was utilized at 67 fertility clinics in 14 countries, resulting in at least 197 births; however, as not all cases have been traced, the true number may be higher.

Several of the children conceived using the donor’s sperm have already passed away, and some have already developed cancer. When Dr. Edwige Kasper presented preliminary results at the European Society of Human Genetics, which revealed that 23 out of 67 identified youngsters possessed the mutation and that 10 had already acquired cancer, concerns were immediately raised. “Many of our children have already been diagnosed with cancer,” she stated. Some of our children have already perished at a very young age, while others have already had two separate malignancies.

Li-Fraumeni syndrome is caused by a TP53 mutation that significantly raises the risk of different pediatric malignancies, osteosarcoma, brain tumors, breast cancer, and soft-tissue sarcomas. This gene failure puts youngsters at immediate and lifetime risk, in contrast to variants like BRCA that mostly harm adults. Regular ultrasounds and MRI scans are necessary for affected patients to check for tumors.

Receiving sperm that “wasn’t clean, that wasn’t safe, that carried a risk” was unacceptable, according to a single mother whose daughter had the mutation. The HFEA emphasized that no accredited UK clinics received any of the impacted sperm and pointed out that UK law restricts the use of donor sperm to ten families, a restriction that is not followed in many other nations.

This single donor is said to have conceived 53 children in Belgium, where the restriction is six families.

The Danish Patient Safety Authority has informed the UK that a few British women had got treatment at Danish clinics using the donor’s sperm, according to Peter Thompson, chief executive of the HFEA. The clinics involved told those ladies, he said. Because the mutation happened spontaneously in the donor prior to birth and was absent from his blood, genetic experts say it was unlikely to have been found during routine screening, rendering standard genetic tests useless. Professor Jackson Kirkman-Brown, a fertility specialist, stated that the lack of international restrictions on donor use is the true problem and that screening for such a mutation is very challenging because each sperm cell carries unique DNA variants. In an effort to stop repeat incidents, European reproductive health authorities are working to create cross-border family limitations.

As more families come forward, the number of children impacted might keep growing. The case has brought up important issues regarding international regulatory gaps, donor screening, and the obligations of cross-border fertility clinics.

After recovering his release, film producer and actor Stanley Ajemba, better known by his stage name Stanley Ontop, has spoken out and stated he is not going to back down.

Actress Queeneth Hilbeth filed a petition that resulted to Stanley’s arrest and detention by the Delta State Police Command on Tuesday in connection with an alleged defamation case.

After his associate, activist Mama Pee, raised the alarm on Instagram, accusing Queeneth of employing the police to bully and silence people, his detention swiftly sparked internet reactions.

Stanley posted a video on Instagram after being freed, declaring that “the struggle continues.”

After sharing a contentious opinion about women with BBL, singer Ruger is receiving a lot of backlash on the internet.

The musician revealed on X that the first thing he thinks about when he sees a woman with a BBL is that she has “bad character,” adding that the procedure seems to “come with small attitude.”

A young woman described an unexpected occurrence that happened at her mother’s shop when three men on bikes showed up with a picture of a man they said they were frantically searching for.

She claimed that the males called him a ripper. Until the men disclosed the amount involved, they initially thought it was a significant scam case. It was only ₦50,000, they claimed.

According to her account, the man allegedly stole a female from a bar, slept with her, hauled her out in the middle of the night so he could take out cash, beat her, and then abandoned her on the street without paying. The girl is familiar with the street but not his precise residence.

She went on to say that she was astonished and humiliated on the girl’s behalf because the girl was even boasting about the entire incident while recounting it.

Her mother has been praying continually since the afternoon that the daughter “finds Jesus” since she is troubled by everything she has heard.

After telling the tale of a guy who discovered, just two days after arriving in Nigeria, that the child he had been caring for was not his, a Nigerian woman has generated a lot of internet discussion.

She clarified that numerous ladies assaulted her online when she initially discussed potential adultery problems among married women on Ago Palace Way. However, a number of males have contacted us, claiming to have experienced identical circumstances. She told one of the stories with permission.

She said the man had spent fifteen years in Germany. He met a woman online two years ago, went back to Nigeria, and after just three months of dating, they were married. In the end, they had a son.

He worked nonstop overseas day and night, sending money home for his wife’s maintenance, rent, and other necessities. Before he saw her widely shared video regarding DNA testing and the alleged circumstances faced by some married men at Ago Palace, everything appeared to be alright. By coincidence, his spouse resides nearby.

In order to move permanently and be nearer to his family, he traveled to Nigeria earlier this year.

Without telling his wife, he discreetly took the child for a DNA test the very following day. Within 48 hours of paying for an expedited test, he realized he wasn’t the child’s biological father.

Later, she said, he understood a number of the indications.

The pregnancy had arrived sooner than anticipated.
As soon as his wife found out she was expecting, she changed the password on her phone.

After giving birth, she declined to return to Germany with him.

The unease persisted even though he dismissed these thoughts every time.

In a single year, he reportedly spent more than €14,000 on the child. He now wants the story told, not to make fun of anyone but to caution other males.

After a young woman in Bayelsa released a video alleging that a man in her neighborhood has been stalking her and making repeated threats to kill her, the frightening event went viral.

The woman said in the video that the man has been tracking her whereabouts, going outside whenever she walks by, and allegedly intimidating and threatening her.

She claims that after reporting the incident to the police and getting him detained, he was released due to mental instability, which made her even more terrified because she didn’t know what he would do next.

A few hours ago, singer David Adeleke, better known by his stage name Davido, reminded some X trolls of his family’s wealth.

Awuzie Franklin, a Nigerian man, claims he has been under fire for encouraging married women to find secret partners if their husbands won’t have sex with them.

He claims that numerous “unfaithful husbands” have been urging him to resign from his position.

He also chastised males who chase young girls, leaving their wives unhappy.

“Since I made a post encouraging married women to secretly get a man who will be knackin them if their husbands abandon them, many unfaithful husbands are in my inbox telling me to pull the post down. I won’t pull it down.. I want all married women whose husbands refused to satisfy to open their legs 360% for another man and let’s another man dig the abandoned Kpekus. No mercy him. Na only you blood dey run for vein. Nonsense,” he wrote in a Facebook post on Wednesday. 

“Dear married men, If you’re not knacking your wife or giving her the affection she deserves, don’t act shocked when she start ignoring you and knacking another man. You can’t bring someone’s daughter into your house and neglect her, while you’re outside knacking small small girls. Face your home. Respect your wife. Don’t create the problems you’ll later complain about. I encourage women to knack someone secretly if you leave them for long . Nonsense.”

As he revealed that the friendship that many Nigerians assume gives him influence has actually put him under unforeseen pressure, Lege seemed visibly exhausted in the viral video.

In the video, Lege Miami stated:

“I no enjoy Seyi as friend at all. I don use all my matchmaking money for this matter, saying I’m Seyi Tinubu’s friend. He only calls me once in a while to ask if I’m okay.”

He continued by saying that because of his connection to the president’s son, he is frequently approached with demands, issues, and expectations.

He claims that both his finances and his tranquility have been impacted by those pressures.

During his matchmaking livestreams, Lege has been publicly discussing his relationship with Seyi Tinubu for months.

Because of his many allusions to the relationship, he has become a recurrent issue on the internet, sometimes praised, sometimes ridiculed, but always acknowledged. Lege Miami’s humorous matchmaking presentations have made him one of Nigeria’s most recognizable web personalities.

Fuji legend Wasiu Ayinde, also known as KWAM1, has completed and returned the family’s official lineage data form, according to Otunba Abdulateef Owoyemi, the chairman of the Fusengbuwa royal house in Ijebu Ode and past president of ICAN.

Speaking on Wednesday, December 10, Owoyemi clarified that the lineage form allows candidates for the throne to trace their ancestry back seven generations. According to him, this is done to ensure that only legitimate members of the Fusengbuwa reigning house submit their names and to stop outsiders from seizing the throne.

According to Owoyemi, the ruling house has scheduled an urgent meeting for Thursday at Ile Nla, the family home in Ijebu Ode, to talk about KWAM1’s desire to succeed Awujale in Ijebuland.

He pointed out that a person can apply for the “expression of interest” form if it is shown that they are a legitimate member of the reigning house.

The family granted KWAM1 an additional five days, ending on Wednesday, December 10, even though the formal deadline for gathering forms was Friday, December 5. Owoyemi further stated that the first stage for anyone wishing to run for the Awujale seat, which became open in July following the death of 91-year-old Oba Sikiru Adetona, is completing the lineage form.

to genuinely be a member of the ruling house Otunba Akinola Odedina, the chairman of the Jadiara ruling house, expressed disapproval of the Fuji legend’s genealogy claims and discussed the singer’s chance to demonstrate his ancestry.

Odedina stated in a letter that was posted online:

“I can clearly say that Wasiu has no family link with the Jadiara royal house. The Fusengbuwa chairman may have given him a nomination form, expecting him to prove his roots. We have waited for him to bring documents linking him to the Jadiara house, but he hasn’t come forward.”

Additionally, KWAM1 and his father are not members of the Bubiade royal family, according to Alhaji O. B. Yusuf, chairman of the family.

He said:

“We don’t have any Anifowose in our family. We have been waiting for him to show documents that prove he is from Bubiade, but he hasn’t done so. I have to speak up because rumours are flying around that I signed Wasiu Ayinde Anifowose’s family membership form.”

The actor has assured friends and admirers that he is in excellent health after returning from a kidney surgery in the United Kingdom.

When he was asked if marriage affected his freedom

He said:

“No, it didn’t. I can go anywhere at any time. The first thing I did when we initially started dating was show her where I worked. In less than a year of marriage, she found a way to force me to give up smoking, but she doesn’t hinder me from enjoying my normal life. It has been four years since I last smoked. She never voiced complaints about my pals, but she helped me understand why I shouldn’t hang out with some of them.”

After claiming that males in Abuja might also be gold diggers, a young woman has sparked debate on social media, refuting the widely held belief that only women look for financial gain in relationships.

The woman described her own experiences since moving to the country’s capital in a video posted on X (Twitter).

She acknowledged that until she personally experienced it, she had disregarded reports about Abuja males financially abusing women.

“It is happening. Before I came to Abuja, I didn’t believe it. When they told me Abuja men are this and that, I didn’t believe it. I’m not the type to judge till it came to me,”

She claimed that rather than a sincere relationship, a number of the guys she encountered showed a subtle but persistent curiosity in her financial ability.

She claimed that they regularly questioned her about things like where she lived, if she lived alone, and how much money she made. These discussions eventually resulted in requests for money.

She pointed out that although society frequently condemns women for squandering men’s money, her own experiences demonstrate that some men also act in this way, pursuing relationships purely for financial gain.

Her story has sparked a discussion on the internet, with some people having similar experiences and others defending Abuja men against stereotypes.

After sharing an emotional video on TikTok in which she bemoaned being rejected by her Nigerian partner for a Zimbabwean woman, a Nigerian woman living in the UK became viral.

The woman posted a heartfelt video in which she described how her romance ended and the ensuing emotional upheaval.

In the video, she raised concerns about what she called a growing rivalry between Nigerian and Zimbabwean women in terms of dating Nigerian men overseas.

She claimed that while there are guys in her own country to date, she found it difficult to comprehend why a Zimbabwean woman would be interested in her spouse.

She was very upset and said that her partner ended their relationship because he thought the Zimbabwean woman had more desirable physical characteristics.

She went on to say that the breakup was especially painful since she thinks that time is running out and feels like she is getting close to menopause.

She stated in the video:

“Zimbabwean ladies, what’s this competition between you and Nigerian ladies over our own prosperity, our own men? Don’t you have men in your country? My boyfriend left me in the UK over a Zimbabwean lady just because I don’t have big nyash and front… I’m really frustrated right now ’cause I’m nearing menopause. Leave our men alone.”

Since then, her video has elicited conflicting responses on the internet. While some viewers expressed sympathy for her grief, others advised against portraying romantic problems as nationalistic strife.

Boluwatife Balogun, better known by his stage name Champz, the first son of Wizkid, has talked candidly about his developing love for music and his resolve to forge his own identity apart from his father’s international fame.

The 14-year-old discussed how music naturally entered his life in a recent interview with Glitch Africa.

Champz maintains that he is not under any pressure to match Wizkid’s accomplishments, even if he is the son of one of Africa’s most prosperous musicians. He stated that he is only concerned about developing at his own speed.

“There’s no pressure. I’m young. I mean, I’m 14. I still have a long way to go. I’ve done a lot for my age already. No pressure,” he said confidently.

The teenage rapper has been building an online fan following and consistently previewing original music, indicating the beginning of what could turn out to be a successful career.

At a ceremony in Osogbo on Tuesday, December 9, the governor announced that he was switching from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the Accord Party. In the 2026 Osun governorship election, he is anticipated to run on his new platform for a second term.

The news instantly caused a stir in the political community, particularly among PDP supporters who had long considered Adeleke to be one of the party’s most powerful figures in the South-West.

Davido did not take long to declare his stance.

Shortly after the governor’s announcement, the musician responded by reaffirming his allegiance.

Davido tweeted: “MOLE 4+4 BEHIND YOU @AAdeleke_01 … WE MOVE ACCORDINGLY”

The governor’s departure follows a much-discussed incident involving Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the first lady of Nigeria. The First Lady approached Governor Adeleke during his address and urged him to finish, according to a video from her coronation as Yeye Asiwaju of Ife Land.

Nigerians harshly criticized her attitude, calling it needless and rude, as the incident went viral on social media.

After years of public scrutiny and hardship, she described the academic accomplishment as a personal emblem of resilience. The news was made on Anjorin’s official social media profile, where she posted a picture of herself holding her new PhD in Business Administration. Anjorin and Dayo Amusa recently had a falling out.

The actress described the honor as a reminder of her progress and said it is more than just a certificate.

Three years after graduating, Nigerian streamer and TikTok celebrity Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, revealed why he would not be going to his secondary school reunion.

Peller described how, while getting ready for their graduation, his classmates made a WhatsApp group, established a clothing code, and conveniently neglected to add him.

The TikTok celebrity claims that he didn’t know about the WhatsApp group until it broke at the event and that he appeared differently.

But the awful experience was still fresh in his thoughts. In 2025, Peller—who is currently well-known in Nigeria’s entertainment sector—disclosed that the same classmates, who had ignored him three years prior, suddenly remembered him.

After they slid into his direct message for a reunion plan, Peller asked to meet in South Africa in what seemed to be a retaliation for their harsh treatment of him.

Peller claimed he told them, “Let’s do it in South Africa,” but he hasn’t heard back since. He disclosed that he was forced to leave the organization because “they couldn’t keep a rich man waiting.” Below is a video of Peller explaining why he would not be going to his high school reunion:

Following a challenging divorce from her wealthy ex-husband, Ned Nwoko, Regina Daniels has detailed why she will never get married again.

In her answer to a query from a netizen, she disclosed this. The fact that Ned Nwoko and Regina Daniels, a famous couple, had an unpleasant breakup after their arguments is no longer news.

They have two beautiful kids and were married in 2019. But what started out as a marital dispute over possible domestic abuse swiftly turned into a family emergency. In a comment on Regina Daniels’s post, a netizen asked if she planned to be married again and, if so, with someone her own age.

The internet user inquired:

“Will you consider marrying another man and will he be your age?”

In response, Regina Daniels said that she was deeply traumatized by her last marriage and that she did not want to get married again.

She wrote: “Nope, traumatised with that institution.”

Regina Daniels and her brother Lawrence, also known as Sweezzy1, who lives in the UK, sparked internet discussions, as previously reported by Gist 9ja. In their London residence, the movie star was spotted chatting animatedly with her brother, who was smoking excessively next to her.

After a protracted marriage crisis with Senator Ned Nwoko, Regina is currently in the UK with her brother and seems to be taking a break. While describing their hangout from the night before, the actress was heard on the widely shared video admitting that she nearly passed out.

Additionally, she appeared genuinely pleased with the condition of the flat, particularly after learning that Lawrence had begun making breakfast for them.

Stanley Ontop, a well-known Nollywood actor and director, has asserted that the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) presidential election was rigged.

Actress Rita Daniels, the mother of Regina Daniels, lost the Guild presidential election to actor Abubakar Yakubu, the National Secretary, according to Gist 9ja.

“The AGN presidential election outcome is questionable,” Stanley wrote in response to the results on his Instagram feed.

“It seems the process was unfair, particularly with regard to Hon. Rita Daniels’ candidacy,” he said, expressing dissatisfaction. It is alarming that a powerful person in Abuja is said to have influence.

“I acknowledge other winners, but the presidential election outcome is questionable. It is regrettable that some delegates prioritised personal gain over association integrity. Regina’s mum would have won Yakubu hands down, but powers in Abuja hijacked it. It’s well!! Shame on una.”

Peller, a Nigerian content creator on TikTok, has denied reports that he will experience financial difficulties as a result of the platform’s temporary ban on night livestreams in Nigeria.

The move went into effect at midnight on Sunday (Nigerian time), as indicated by a system message titled “LIVE Notices – TikTok LIVE Update in Nigeria.” As part of an ongoing safety investigation to safeguard its community, TikTok provided an explanation for the ban.

During the restricted hours, Nigerian consumers were also prohibited from watching live broadcasts from other nations.

Content makers that rely significantly on TikTok for engagement and revenue are concerned about the ban.

Peller responded to the news in a video that was uploaded to his Instagram page on Monday, saying that many people thought he would “go hungry” as a result of the ban.

He promptly refuted such accusations, emphasizing the variety of his sources of income.

He said:

“People are expecting me to be crying after TikTok banned live in Nigeria, thinking I’ll go hungry. I’m an ambassador to numerous brands, and none of my endorsements is less than ₦40 million.”

The content creator clarified that although TikTok has greatly increased his visibility, long-term collaborations and brand endorsements are essential to his financial security. Additionally, he emphasized that he frequently redistributes presents received during livestreams through giveaways as a way of giving back to his supporters.

The content maker discussed how TikTok helps young Nigerians monetize their creativity and expand their followers more quickly than other social media platforms. He pointed out that, in contrast to Instagram, the platform enables simpler and quicker growth.

He said that band members were subjected to severe travel restrictions, passport confiscation, and treatment akin to that of slaves.

Ayanlowo claimed that when K1 allegedly told him to get out of the car while traveling to a hospital, he was refused immediate medical attention for a chronic ulcer.

He called the allegations “lies and misinformation,” maintaining that he had backed Ayankunle when he was “a nobody” and that the group’s opportunities have helped a number of former band members succeed in the present.

After making a statement against the imprisoned American rapper Sean Diddy Combs, well-known Nigerian content producer and influencer Shank Comics, whose name is Adesokan Adedeji Emmanuel, has taken a risk.

This followed the release of a miniseries about Diddy’s alleged sexual misconduct called Sean Combs: The Reckoning, an American television documentary co-produced by fellow rapper 50 Cent.

The Netflix documentary featured startling moments and revelations, such as Cassie Venturo’s testimony and Diddy’s purported role in Tupac Shakur’s death. Shank, who must have watched the series, posted an assessment on the rapper’s life on the X platform [previously Twitter].

He stated without holding back that he adored Diddy’s “perspective to grind” and that it was crucial to his success and profession.

He penned:

“What I admire about Diddy is his perspective to the grind. His mind. The way it evolves. It’s crazy! That was his talent. The ability to change or adapt. He just got lost in the pursuit of power.”

The content producer was forced to remove the post a few hours after it went live due to thousands of backlashes from people who criticized him for finding a good aspect in the life of a man who was facing numerous accusations.

Queen said that the public had called her everything from “prostitute” to “unfit wife” in a long Instagram post on Monday. She emphasized that she was sick of being silent while strangers told her life’s story.

The reality TV personality insisted that she had not been in America long enough for such stories to be accurate, saying she was astonished to learn that people “in the U.S.” supposedly called her derogatory things.

She asked:

“So where exactly did your ‘USA people’ see me and decide I was a pr.stitute?”

She remembered only one trip to the United States between 2017 and 2018, long before she became well-known, when she briefly lived in Houston with a relative before traveling to Florida for a pageant. Queen questioned how and where these stories originated, particularly from those who had never met her or interacted with her family.

She mentioned that she anticipated her family would be disappointed that she finally gave a public response. In response to a different rumor, Queen denied that she shared pictures of her husband on social media in order to get even with her baby daddy.

She claimed that she never disclosed anything about her child’s father to the world and that, like any bride, she just tweeted about her marriage out of genuine excitement.

She continued by saying that she would have discreetly shared her wedding pictures without disclosing the identity of her baby daddy if her husband had decided not to publish theirs.
