Frank Catania Claims Teresa Giudice Was Asked to Exit ‘RHONJ’

Andrea Francese — Mon, 19 Aug 2024 23:16:17 +0000

The future of The Real Housewives of New Jersey remains in limbo. Season 14 ended with what Andy Cohen described as a season final. Fans feel certain that the series, as they know it, is over. Dolores Catania’s ex-husband, Frank Catania, claims those rumors are credible. He recently suggested that Teresa Giudice has been asked to step down from the show after she refused to film with her castmates.

Frank Catania says Teresa Giudice has been asked to leave ‘RHONJ’

Frank Catania appeared on The Lisa Alastuey Podcast earlier this month and shared some insider information. According to Catania, The Real Housewives of New Jersey fans won’t see Teresa Giudice again, at least not on the series. Catania claims the only remaining original RHONJ cast member has been asked to exit the show voluntarily.

If that’s the case, Giudice didn’t get the memo until recently. As recently as July, Giudice told the world that she had no plans to leave the series. During an appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark, Giudice said that she would stay on to see the series through unless Bravo fired her.

She seemed confident at the time that Bravo would retain her for the series, but that may have changed. Giudice seemed much less optimistic about her staying power when The Daily Mail caught up with her in August. When asked about the series, she said she would just wait to see what Bravo had planned for her. Fans quickly noted that her body language seemed a bit tense and awkward.

Catania might have heard the rumors, but he doesn’t necessarily agree with the decision if they turn out to be true. Catania said Giudice is the world’s most “recognizable” housewife and claims it would be a shame for her to leave RHONJ. He did seem to place much of the blame squarely on Giudice’s new husband, Luis Ruelas.

When did she join the cast?

If Teresa Giudice does leave the series, it would be the end of an era. The mother of four is the show’s only remaining original cast member. She first appeared in the show’s pilot episode in 2009. The original cast included Giudice, Dina Cantin, Caroline Manzo, Danielle Staub, and Jacqueline Laurita. Staub departed the series after season 2. Cantin left after season 2 as well; she returned for an additional season in season 6.

Manzo and Laurita left the series after season 5. Laurita returned in season 7 before leaving for good. The newest cast members, Rachel Fuda and Danielle Cabral joined the cast for season 13. It is unclear who, if anyone, from the current cast, will return for season 15. A complete “refresh” isn’t out of the question.

Jana Duggar Would Have Told New Huband to ‘Get Lost’ if He Had Texted Her for a Date

Andrea Francese — Mon, 19 Aug 2024 00:52:11 +0000

Jana Duggar and Stephen Wissmann married in an Arkansas ceremony on Thursday, Aug. 15. The wedding came as a shock to Duggar family followers, who largely assumed Stephen and Jana had broken up years earlier. As it turns out, they did, and Jana only entertained rekindling the romance because of a handwritten note. Without the note, she would have told her new husband to “get lost.”

Jana Duggar reveals how Stephen Wissmann won her back

At 34, Jana Duggar hoped to get married one day, but her romance with Stephen Wissmann wasn’t on her radar in recent years. The duo reportedly dated years earlier but split up. In an interview with People, Jana revealed that Stephen always remained on the periphery, even after their first romance soured. Still, she didn’t think he was the one initially. He made a move to win her back, though, and he was successful, but only thanks to a handwritten note.

Jana revealed to the publication that Stephen asked her on another date via a handwritten note, which she found sweet. She said that note was the key to their eventual romance. She told the publication that she would have told Stephen to “get lost” if he had opted for a digital message instead of a handwritten one.

According to the couple, they reconnected in early 2024 and became engaged in June. They quickly found the wedding venue of their dreams and married on a Thursday in August. Stephen’s large family provided the food. The bride was walked down the aisle by her father, Jim Bob Duggar, and attended by several of her sisters and one sister-in-law.

Jana Duggar and Stephen Wissmann broke up before their wedding

The Duggar family does not generally publicize the end of relationships. It doesn’t fit their previous assertion that “courtship” protects people from heartbreak. In the years since they became public figures, they’ve only publicly announced the end of one courtship. Josiah briefly dated Marjorie Jackson before calling it quits. Later, fans learned that Josh Duggar, the family’s disgraced oldest son, also had a broken courtship.

Rumors had swirled about Jana dating in the past, but her revelation that she and Stephen spent time apart before rekindling their romance is the first time she’s admitted to ending a serious romance. Rumors have also swirled that Joseph Duggar dumped Carlin Bates before ultimately marrying Kendra Caldwell in 2017. Neither Joseph nor Carlin have ever confirmed that, though.

Eleven of Jana’s siblings married before her, including siblings born more than a decade after her. Justin Duggar was the youngest to wed. He married Claire Spivey just a few months after his 18th birthday. Jana, at 34, was the oldest unwed Duggar until her Aug. 15 wedding. Jason Duggar is the oldest unmarried Duggar now, although he hard launched a relationship earlier this year. Duggar family followers expect his wedding to occur before the year’s end.

Duggar Family Followers Theorize That Jessa Seewald Is Pregnant Again Based on Jana Duggar’s Wedding Snapshots

Andrea Francese — Sat, 17 Aug 2024 14:30:43 +0000

Jana Duggar’s wedding to Stephen Wissmann has led to much speculation. Jill Dillard’s very obvious absence from the wedding party has given credence to theories that Jil and her older sister, Jana, have an icy connection, at best. Not everyone is focused on Jana and Jill’s seemingly strained relationship, though. Several Duggar family followers were quick to notice that Jessa Seewald might be keeping a secret. Based on the published wedding photos, could Jessa Seewald be pregnant again?

Jana Duggar’s wedding photos have family followers suspecting a family pregnancy announcement is coming soon

Jana Duggar’s wedding shocked Duggar family followers, many of which believed Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s eldest daughter would never get married. It might have been Jana’s much-awaited “big day,” but a lot of focus is being paid to Jessa Seewald. Jana’s maid of honor has been spotted in several photos from the event, and family followers think she appears to be pregnant. A recent Instagram “try-on haul” has also led some fans to suspect Jessa is early on in a pregnancy.

Several Reddit users believe the fit of the dress indicates the mother of five will be welcoming a new baby in the coming months, but not everyone is convinced. Several family followers suggested that Jessa is not currently pregnant. Instead, they believe Jana did her bridesmaids dirty with an unflattering dress style and fabric.

According to her interview with People, Jana aimed for elegance for her wedding. However, not everyone believes her choice of dress style and color for her bridesmaids fits the bill. They theorize that Jessa isn’t pregnant, but the poses published and the dress style creates the illusion of a baby bump.

Based on how she has spaced her pregnancies in the past, is it too soon for Jessa to be pregnant again?

If Jessa Seewald is pregnant again, it would be a pretty quick turnaround from her last pregnancy. Is it too soon based on her previous family planning, though? Jessa and Ben last welcomed a baby in December 2023. Their fifth child, George Augustine Seewald, was born in a Northwest Arkansas hospital. He was the first of Jessa and Ben’s children to be born in a medical facility. George’s birth is still relatively recent. Regardless, it wouldn’t be the first time Jessa announced a pregnancy quickly after welcoming a new baby.

Sure, Jessa’s spaced her more recent pregnancies at least two years apart. Still, she welcomed her second child, Henry Wilberforce Seewald, 15 months after her first son, Spurgeon Elliot Seewald, was born. Based on that, she and Ben Seewald may have aimed for a small age gap between George and his hypothetical sibling.

If Jessa is expecting again, she’s unlikely to announce it anytime soon. In early 2023, Jessa received serious backlash for the way she announced a pregnancy and subsequent miscarriage on social media. Due to the backlash, she waited several months into her pregnancy with George to make the announcement.

Jill Dillard Left Out of Jana Duggar’s Wedding Party

Andrea Francese — Fri, 16 Aug 2024 23:47:00 +0000

Jana Duggar shocked Duggar family followers on Aug. 15 when she wed Stephen Wissmann at an evening ceremony. Jana, 34, is the eldest daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar and watched 9 of her younger siblings and her twin brother walk down the aisle before her. Now that the secret is out, details of the big event are slowly being released. Jana Duggar’s wedding party attendants are a bit surprising; Jill Dillard appears to have been left out. Duggar family followers think Jana is sending a message.

Jana Duggar snubs Jill Dillard at surprise wedding

Jana welcomed Jessa Seewald, Jinger Vuolo, Joy-Anna Forsyth, Johannah Duggar, and Jordyn Duggar as members of her wedding party. She even included her sister-in-law, Abbie Burnett, in the festivities. While Jana told People that she and Stephen Wissmann wanted to include the whole family in their big day, she left out a few of her sisters. Jill Dillard was suspiciously skipped over for the honor. It might have been difficult to include every member of the supersized family in the event, but Jill and Jana were once close. In fact, Jana served as Jill’s maid of honor in 2014 when she married Derick Dillard.

Duggar family followers suspect the snub might be a statement. Jill Dillard’s scathing memoir Counting the Cost chronicled a difficult period between the Dillards and her parents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar. In one section of the book, Jill revealed that Jim Bob had pitted her siblings against her and Derick Dillard. She noted that some of her siblings understood her stance, while others had largely iced her out. Jill was careful not to name any names, but family followers largely suspect Jana is one of the siblings who opted not to maintain a relationship with the Dillards.

Jill wasn’t the only Duggar daughter left out, though. While Jill’s absence was most suspicious, Jennifer Duggar and Josie Duggar were not tasked with wedding party jobs.

It is unclear if Jill and Derick Dillard attended the wedding as guests. Jill Dillard shared a link to People’s event coverage on her Instagram stories. Still, she did not upload a photo of herself at the event. Several other Duggar family members have uploaded snapshots from the evening.

Who was Jana Duggar’s maid of honor?

When they were kids, Jana Duggar and Jill Dillard were close. Jana served as Jill’s maid of honor and was present when Jill went into labor twice. Without Jill in the picture, who exactly served as Jana’s maid of honor? In a somewhat surprising twist, Jessa Seewald was honored with the job.

Jana and Jessa had a somewhat strained relationship as children and didn’t bother much with each other as young adults. While Jana was involved in Jessa’s wedding, she did not serve as her maid of honor. Jessa Seewald married Ben Seewald in 2014 and chose Jinger Vuolo as her maid of honor. When Jinger married Jeremy Vuolo in 2016, she returned the favor.

Assistant Charged in Matthew Perry’s Death Was the Person Who Found Him Dead

Andrea Francese — Fri, 16 Aug 2024 20:23:14 +0000

Five individuals have been charged in Matthew Perry’s 2023 accidental death. The Friends star died from the acute effect of Ketamine after battling addiction for decades. He was 54. Kenneth Iwamasa, a live-in assistant, is one of the individuals charged in connection to Perry’s death. He was also the person to find Perry’s body at the home and alert the authorities.

How did Matthew Perry die

Matthew Perry died in his hot tub on Oct. 28, 2023. At the time, it appeared that the Friends star had drowned in the expansive hot tub after spending time out with pals. Weeks later, a toxicology report indicated that Perry had high levels of Ketamine in his system at the time of his death. The amount of Ketamine in his system far exceeded what is used in therapeutic settings.

According to BBC, Kenneth Iwamasa was the assistant who found Perry unresponsive in the hot tub on Oct. 28. At the time, reports stated that an assistant returned home to Perry’s residence after running errands to find the scene. Initial reports suggest the then-unnamed assistant left the house earlier in the day but had seen Perry before he departed. It was reported that the Iwamasas claimed nothing was amiss when he last communicated with Perry.

Kenneth Iwamasa has pled guilty to charges associated with Perry’s death

Iwamasa didn’t just find Perry dead at his home; he directly contributed to the actor’s demise. According to People, Iwamasa has pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute Ketamine causing a death in exchange for a reduced sentence. Despite the plea deal, Iwamasa faces up to 15 years behind bars for his role in Perry’s death. He reportedly admitted to obtaining Ketamine and injecting Perry with the drug, including on the day of his death.

It is unclear how long Kenneth Iwamasa worked for Matthew Perry before his death, but his LinkedIn profile previously connected him to several other high-profile faces in Hollywood. The profile, which has since been deleted, identifies Iwamasa as a talent manager and an executive assistant. He counted discretion as one of his unique skills.

Aside from Iwamasa, two doctors, Dr. Salvador Plasencia, Dr. Mark Chavez, Erik Flemming, and Jasveen Sangha, were also charged in Perry’s death. While Flemming has been identified as a “friend” of Perry’s, he also has deep roots in Hollywood. Flemming was a producer and director in the 1990s, although he’s been largely inactive since then.

Jana Duggar Confirms She and Stephen Wissmann Dated and Broke up in the Past

Andrea Francese — Fri, 16 Aug 2024 16:19:01 +0000

The Duggar family once insisted that they focus on “courting” instead of “dating” to avoid heartbreak. Over the years, at least a few Duggar hearts have been broken. While the family only ever announced one failed courtship, the Duggar kids experienced at least three breakups. Jana Duggar and her now-husband, Stephen Wissmann, had a failed relationship before they linked back up and decided to get married.

Jana Duggar confirms past relationship with Stephen Wissmann

The Duggar family might have tried to sell the concept of courtship to their TV viewers, but apparently, a fair bit of dating was actually going on behind the scenes. Jana Duggar once revealed that she had dated several men and that being single didn’t mean she had never experienced a bit of romance. Still, she insisted none of her flings got too serious. Apparently, she returned for a second look at one of those flings. Jana confirmed that she and Stephen Wissmann dated in the past. She has never revealed the names of the other men she dated.

In a chat with People, Jana Duggar revealed that she and Stephen Wissmann had dated in the past but decided to part ways before they eventually got back together. She told the publication that she and Wissmann broke up because they weren’t a good fit at the time. While their breakup lasted years, Duggar reveals that she and Wissmann stayed in contact off and on. Eventually, they decided to rekindle their romance since they both still “enjoyed” and “appreciated” each other.

Duggar family followers were right about the couple’s early romance

Jana Duggar might be confirming her past history with Stephen Wissmann now, but the news isn’t shocking to Duggar family followers. In early 2021, just months before Josh Duggar was arrested for possessing and receiving child pornography, the 34-year-old former reality TV star was spotted in photos with the Wissmanns. At that point, Duggar family followers assumed she was dating someone in the family, although she didn’t confirm it then.

Family followers were sure things had gotten serious when Duggar and Wissmann were spotted together at Justin Duggar’s Texas 2021 wedding and again at a July 4th festival. Suddenly, though, the connection seemed to evaporate. Followers assumed the duo had split up.

Jeremiah Duggar and Hannah Wissmann

Duggar and Wissmann stopped appearing together a few months after the family’s troubled eldest son, Josh Duggar, was arrested. The timing was suspicious. Duggar family followers theorized that Wissmann ended the romance amid Josh Duggar’s growing legal troubles. Still, Wissmann and Jana Duggar couldn’t stay out of each other’s orbit for long. Wissmann’s sister and Duggar’s brother married in March 2022.

Now, Jana Duggar and Stephen Wissmann are husband and wife, and they are planning their life together. Duggar will be moving to Nebraska to make her home with Wissmann.

Where Is Jana Duggar Planning to Live Now That She’s a Married Woman?

Andrea Francese — Fri, 16 Aug 2024 14:56:13 +0000

It was just weeks ago that Jana Duggar uploaded a video of her tiny house on Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s property. That home is free for the taking now. On Aug. 15, Jana Duggar married Stephen Wissmann in a wedding ceremony that took Duggar family followers by surprise. Now that Jana is married, surely she’ll be moving, and it looks like she’ll be living away from her parents for the first time.

Jana Duggar will be moving to Nebraska

At 34 years old, Jana Duggar was the eldest unmarried Duggar daughter. She watched her sisters and brother marry and move away, but now it’s her turn.

Now that the vows have been exchanged and Jana Duggar and Stephen Wissmann are officially husband and wife after a two-month engagement, they can start their life together.

Apparently, that life will center around the Nebraska town where the Wissmann family is based. In an interview with People, Jana Duggar revealed that she and Stephen purchased a home in Nebraska and have been renovating it. Now that they are married, she’ll get to do more hands-on work since she’ll be moving from her family’s Springdale, Arkansas, home to Milford, Nebraska. According to property records, the five-bedroom home was purchased in 2023.

Only 2 other Duggars have moved away from Arkansas permanently

Jana will be just the third Duggar sibling to move out of state after marriage. Jinger Vuolo was the first of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s kids to leave Arkansas. She first moved to Laredo, Texas, following her 2016 wedding. A few years later, she and her husband, Jeremy Vuolo, packed up their Texas home and moved to California.

After selling their Santa Clarita home in July, the couple purchased a $1.9 million estate in Newhall, California. It looks like they are planning to stay in California for good.

Justin Duggar also opted to leave his family behind following his nuptials. Justin was barely 18 when he announced his engagement to Claire Spivey in 2020. The couple married in 2021, and Justin settled with Claire close to her family in Texas. The duo has yet to welcome any children. They do not maintain an active social media account.

While several other Duggars have wed spouses from different states, those spouses have all moved to be closer to the Duggar compound in Arkansas. Stephen Wissmann’s sister, Hannah, for example, left her family behind in Nebraska when she married Jeremiah Duggar. The duo appears to be living in an RV while they work on a property they had moved to land Jeremiah Duggar owns.

The Rumors Were True: Jana Duggar Is Set to Marry Stephen Wissmann

Andrea Francese — Thu, 15 Aug 2024 17:59:12 +0000

It’s official: Jana Duggar will be a married woman soon enough. Last month, rumors swirled that 34-year-old Jana had finally found her special someone when she appeared in family photos sporting an engagement ring. Jana opted not to confirm or deny her engagement, but plenty of clues suggested she had finally found love. Now the secret is out. A marriage license has been issued to Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s eldest daughter. Jana Duggar is finally getting married.

Jana Duggar will marry Stephen Wissmann

In a shocking twist, the Jana Duggar marriage rumors are finally true. Jana has not officially announced her engagement. Still, the state of Arkansas issued a marriage license, suggesting the eldest Duggar daughter will be tying the knot sometime in the next 60 days. So, who exactly is her future husband?

Jana Duggar | TLC/YouTube

According to the official documents, Jana Duggar will wed Stephen Wissmann, a Nebraska native and her younger brother’s brother-in-law. Stephen, 31, is the son of Gloria and Loren Wissmann. According to Fandom, Stephen owns a dog breeding business in Milford, Nebraska. It is unclear if Stephen plans to move to Arkansas following the wedding or if Jana plans to relocate to Nebraska. Stephen’s younger sister, Hannah Wissmann, moved to Arkansas after marrying Jeremiah Duggar in 2022.

Jeremiah Duggar and Hannah Wissmann

The Duggar family has not made the wedding date public. Still, the duo must be tying the knot sometime in the next 59 days. Marriage licenses are valid in Arkansas for 60 days after they are issued. The license was issued on Aug. 14. The couple has 60 days to say I do, but they’ll likely be walking down the aisle sooner rather than later. Duggar family followers theorize that Jana will be a married woman before August is over.

Duggar family followers thought Jana was dating Stephen years ago

Jana and Stephen are opting to keep their relationship quiet. Still, this is far from the first time they have been linked. Duggar family followers believed Jana and Stephen were in a relationship in 2021 after they spotted Jana at the Wissmanns’ home for Christmas.

While Duggar family followers were sure that Jana was finally getting married, nothing came of it. Initially, family followers theorized that Stephen got cold feet after Josh Duggar was arrested for possessing and receiving child pornography. Jana and Stephen never confirmed a relationship or a breakup.

In 2022, Jeremiah Duggar married Hannah Wissmann, Stephen’s younger sister. After the couple announced their relationship, family followers largely assumed that Jana was merely chaperoning for Jeremiah. Most assumed she was never actually in a relationship with Stephen. It is still unclear if the couple were together and then broke up before getting back together or if their current romance is their first foray into dating.

Did Ryan Reynolds Cheat on Scarlett Johansson With Blake Lively?

Andrea Francese — Thu, 15 Aug 2024 01:37:04 +0000

In recent days, Blake Lively’s press tour behavior for It Ends With Us has been deemed bizarre at best and offensive at worst. Lively’s odd marketing choices aren’t the only issue fans have with the controversial flick’s promotion, though. Ryan Reynolds’ involvement has garnered more than a few side-eyes, too. Lively’s compulsion to gush about her marriage is even making fans suspicious of the union’s health. While Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ marriage seems just fine, fans can’t help but remember how quickly it started after the end of his first marriage. So, did Ryan Reynolds cheat on his first wife, Scarlett Johansson, with Blake Lively?

Did Ryan Reynolds cheat on Scarlett Johansson with Blake Lively?

There is no concrete evidence that Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds started their romance while he was still married to Scarlett Johansson. The timing of the relationship still gives fans pause more than 10 years after the fact, though. Reynolds was still very much married when he met Lively.

Reynolds met Lively on the set of The Green Lantern. The movie was released in 2011, but filming for the flick began in March 2010. The cast wrapped filming in August 2010. Reynolds and his first wife did not announce their split until December 2010. Their divorce was finalized the following year. While Reynolds once suggested he wasn’t interested in marrying a second time, he did exactly that a year after finalizing his divorce from Johansson.

Technically, Reynolds and Lively didn’t announce their relationship until 2011. That doesn’t mean they weren’t together before that, though. Fans largely assume they were dating but keeping things quiet while Reynolds navigated the end of his marriage. There is no evidence of cheating, but Reynolds does have a history of moving on quickly. He wasn’t all that far out of his relationship with Alanis Morrisette when he started seeing Johansson, either. Morrisette and Reynolds were engaged. They broke things off in 2007.

Everyone has clearly moved on

While fans still question whether there was an overlap between Johansson and Lively’s romances with Ryan Reynolds, everything seems to have worked out for the best. While Lively’s interview behavior has been questioned recently, her relationship with Reynolds seems to be intact. The duo looks perfectly happy together, at least as far as the public is concerned.

Johansson has rebounded well, too. After Reynolds, she married two more times. Johansson is currently married to Colin Jost. While she largely avoids discussing her past romances, she did mention her short-lived marriage to Ryan Reynolds in 2023 on The Goop Podcast. Gwyneth Paltrow quipped that she had forgotten Johansson was married to Reynolds. Johansson laughed it off, insisting they weren’t married for very long before she insisted that Reynolds was a “good guy.”

Jinger and Jeremy Vuolo Purchase a New California Home With a Hefty Price Tag

Andrea Francese — Wed, 14 Aug 2024 21:09:00 +0000

Jinger and Jeremy Vuolo aren’t abiding by Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s modest spending rules. The California-based Vuolos just purchased a new home, with it comes a massive mortgage. After parting ways with their small Santa Clarita house, they have moved into a new Newhall, California residence previously owned by The Master’s Seminary, where Jeremy Vuolo was once a student.

Jinger and Jeremy Vuolo upgrade to a much larger home

Jinger and Jeremy Vuolo have purchased a Newhall, California home worth $1.9 million. The massive, Tudor-style house was previously owned by The Master’s Seminary. The university only owned the house for a short time. It was purchased in 2022 for $1.75 million before being sold to the Vuolos two years later. The new home is certainly a big upgrade for the Vuolos. According to Realtor, their new house sits on five acres of land and offers more than 4,000 square feet of living space, which includes five bedrooms and three bathrooms. The extra living space will certainly come in handy if they plan to entertain more guests or grow their family further.

Their previous home, which they purchased in 2022 for $830,000, also had five bedrooms and three bathrooms but offered just 1,800 square feet of living space. The Santa Clarita property was listed at $899,999 in June 2024 and sold the following month for $899,000, leaving the duo with a modest profit.

Jinger and Jeremy Vuolo are the parents of Felicity Nicole Vuolo, 6, and Evangeline Jo Vuolo, 3. The couple has not publicly discussed whether they plan to have more children. Still, the new home certainly has room for more kids.

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar advised their children against using loans and credit

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar spent years telling the world they live without debt. Still, some of their children are not following in their footsteps. Jim Bob and Michelle have forgone traditional mortgages. They don’t have credit cards and believe in always paying in cash. Still, several of their offspring have taken out mortgages in recent years.

Jinger and Jeremy Vuolo have opted to carry mortgages on all three of their homes. Jill and Derick Dillard also took out a mortgage for the abode they moved into in 2022. They purchased the Siloam Springs arkansas after Derick Dillard secured a job after law school. Josiah Duggar and his wife, Lauren Swanson, also used credit to build their Arkansas house in 2023.

Duggar family followers see a big problem with Jinger and Jeremy’s loan. While most home purchases are possible thanks to mortgages, Jinger and Jeremy’s home loan is extremely large. According to Reddit users, the couple took out a mortgage for over $1.5 million, meaning their monthly living expenses far exceed $10,000. Trading Economics recently revealed that the average mortgage in the United States is around $400,000. Even by California standards, their home loan is larger than average. Family followers aren’t sure how the couple could make enough to sustain their family, pay their bills, and save for the future.
