Denise Richards Heartbroken: The Emotional Impact of Ex Patrick Muldoon’s Tragic Passing


Denise Richards is grappling with profound grief following the unexpected passing of her former partner, Patrick Muldoon. The news of Muldoon’s sudden death at the age of 57 due to a heart attack has left those close to him, including Richards, in deep sorrow.

The bond between Richards and Muldoon dates back to when they first met as teenagers in an acting class, with Richards being just 19 and Muldoon 21. Their romantic relationship spanned nearly five years in the late 1990s, but their friendship endured well beyond their split, continuing until his untimely demise.

According to reports from the Daily Mail, Richards, now 55, is finding it extremely difficult to cope with the loss. A source intimately connected with the actress revealed her emotional state, sharing, “She’s devastated. Really, really sad. I’d even call her inconsolable. She can’t stop crying.” The depth of their long-standing friendship has made the news all the more heart-wrenching for Richards.

“She’s devastated. Really, really sad,” a source close to the actress told the outlet. “I’d even call her inconsolable. She can’t stop crying.”

Richards, 55, met Muldoon when she was 19 years old and he was 21 in an acting class. They remained close friends until his death.

“Patrick is the ex that she had the best relationship with,” the source said of the exes. “There was a ton of respect on both sides.”

“It was so amicable that they were better friends than lovers and they remained in constant contact. She was his biggest supporter, he was hers.”

Page Six reached out to Richards’ rep for comment, but didn’t receive an immediate response.

Muldoon spoke about his close friendship with Richards — whom he starred in 1997’s “Starship Troopers” with — during his appearance on Tori Spelling’s “MisSPELLING” podcast in October 2025.

“We both don’t come from entertainment families, and our families got to know each other over the years and kind of checked in with each other on navigating the crazy stuff that we all go through,” he said.

He shared that despite the two not ending up together romantically after an “on and off” relationship, he was still close with Richards’ kids with Charlie Sheen — daughters Lola, 20, and Sami, 22.

“I have a good relationship with both Lola and Sami,” he said. “I’ve known them since they were first born, and so I have a good relationship with both.”

Lola paid tribute to Muldoon on Instagram Monday, revealing that she “begged” her mom to get back together with him.

“i thought you were the one that was supposed be in our lives forever,” she wrote in an emotional tribute to the “Days of Our Lives” alum.

“i will really miss hearing my mom laugh on the phone with you. your voice always brightened my day and i’m gonna miss hearing it but i know my mom will more, but we will never stop talking about you,” she also shared.

Lola thanked Muldoon for being her mom’s best friend.

“the bond you two had was something so special, that no one can touch,” she wrote. “when i think of my mom i think of you. you guys came as a package and i’m so thankful i got to know you and witness a friendship so pure and special in front of my eyes.”

Cold Case Breakthrough: Man Linked to Wife’s Disappearance Arrested in Chilling Murder Mystery

0

The mysterious case of a man whose wife vanished years ago has taken a new turn. Robert William “Bob” McCaffrey Jr., 54, is now facing charges for a murder in New Jersey that dates back several decades. Investigators claim McCaffrey once confessed to this crime, as revealed in recent court documents.

McCaffrey was arrested last week in Manteo, North Carolina, and has since been extradited to New Jersey. He appeared in a courtroom there on Monday, where he entered a not guilty plea in connection with the 1990 murder of Lisa Marie McBride, according to details from the Sussex County Prosecutor’s Office.

During the brief court appearance, McCaffrey, clad in an orange jumpsuit and restrained with shackles, maintained a mostly impassive demeanor throughout the proceedings, which lasted under five minutes, as reported by WCIV.

Judge Janine Allen detailed the charges against McCaffrey, which include murder, burglary, and kidnapping. Prosecutors contend that on or around June 23, 1990, McCaffrey intentionally caused McBride’s death, or inflicted serious bodily harm leading to her death, in Vernon Township.

Alongside the charges, a booking photo of McCaffrey, provided by the Dare County Sheriff’s Office, shows him after his recent arrest, now at the center of this decades-old cold case.

He is also accused of entering her home to commit an offense and unlawfully removing her in order to inflict bodily injury or terrorize her.

His attorney entered a plea of not guilty on his behalf.

Prosecutors moved to detain McCaffrey ahead of trial. A detention hearing is scheduled for April 27 at 9 a.m., and he will remain in custody until then. A pre-indictment conference is tentatively set for May 18, though the judge noted that date could change.

Prosecutors described the arrest as a major breakthrough in a case that had gone unsolved for decades, crediting advances in DNA technology and years of investigative work.

According to the affidavit, McBride, 27, was last seen returning to her Highland Lakes home in Vernon Township in the early morning hours of June 23, 1990. When she failed to show up for work later that day, relatives found signs of a violent struggle, including a cut telephone line, a damaged window screen and missing bedsheets.

Her disappearance prompted an extensive search involving family, volunteers and law enforcement.

Four months later, her remains were discovered by a hunter in a wooded area of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area in Sandyston. An autopsy found she suffered an orbital fracture and had been subjected to external violence. Her death was ruled a homicide, according to court documents.

In 2022, authorities exhumed McBride’s body for additional DNA testing, a step New Jersey State Police said was critical to isolating an unknown male DNA profile from earlier evidence.

Evidence recovered from the scene, including material from the victim’s headboard, was reanalyzed, and the profile was entered into the national CODIS database.

In 2026, that DNA was matched to McCaffrey, according to court documents and authorities, who said he was living in Sussex County at the time of McBride’s disappearance.

The affidavit also outlines a key allegation. A witness told investigators McCaffrey admitted to killing McBride in the 1990s and allegedly said he did it because she refused to go out with him.

Officials said McCaffrey lived and worked in northern New Jersey in 1990 before later moving to South Carolina and more recently North Carolina, where he was arrested.

Fox News Digital reached out to New Jersey Office of the Public Defender.

The case is drawing renewed attention because of a separate investigation involving McCaffrey’s wife, Marjorie “Gayle” McCaffrey, who disappeared in South Carolina in 2012 and has never been found.

According to the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office, Gayle McCaffrey was reported missing on March 18, 2012, from the couple’s home in West Ashley after what her husband described as a heated argument the night before. He told investigators he left the home and later returned to find her gone, claiming she had left on her own.

The couple’s two children, ages 4 and 10 at the time, last saw their mother the night before she disappeared, authorities said. Investigators conducted multiple searches and interviewed friends, neighbors and co-workers, but were unable to determine her whereabouts.

Detectives later determined Robert McCaffrey had lied about key details of the case, including a supposed farewell letter that was found to be fabricated. He was charged with obstruction of justice, convicted and sentenced to prison. He was released in 2023.

Gayle McCaffrey’s disappearance remains under investigation, and authorities have said it is being treated as a homicide.

Man Sentenced to Prison for Imitating Disturbing Bondi Beach Shooting Incident

A man seen mimicking the Bondi massacre before spouting slurs against Jewish people has been jailed – but his lawyer says he’s not anti-semitic.
Zayne Jason William McMillan, 23, was heavily intoxicated when he and a friend went to Bondi Beach, six weeks after the Islamic State-inspired mass shooting.

Judge Michael Barko today described the shooting as “horrific” and “gut-wrenching,” emphasizing the ongoing trauma it has caused. In delivering his sentence, Judge Barko handed a 12-month jail term to the First Nations man involved, stipulating a non-parole period of nine months.

Zayne McMillan has been jailed after mimicking the Bondi terrorist attack from the same footbridge where the attack was carried out.

McMillan was seen on January 31 on the same Bondi footbridge posing as though he held a long-arm firearm while his friend took photographs, agreed facts seen by AAP say.

During the proceedings, defense barrister Stephen Alexander addressed the court, clarifying his client’s stance on anti-Semitism. Alexander asserted that while his client’s remarks were indeed anti-Semitic, they were not driven by a deep-seated ideological hatred.

“He did not intentionally act as an anti-Semite,” Alexander explained. “My client does not perceive himself as being racially prejudiced against the Jewish community.”

“What he did say was anti-Semitic but he didn’t go out of his way to be an anti-Semite,” Alexander said.

“He does not consider himself as being a racist towards the Jewish community.”

Judge Barko rejected this, noting McMillan had singled out Jews during his 35-minute tirade.

“Not one other faith, belief or culture was referred to,” the judge said.

The 23-year-old Dubbo man watched the sentencing by audiovisual link from Shortland prison near Cessnock, stroking his goatee while Judge Barko spoke.

The bricklayer received a discounted sentence after earlier pleading guilty to three counts of offensive behaviour in a public place and two counts of intimidation.

He will be eligible for release on November 3.

On the footbridge, the First Nations bricklayer yelled, “F— the Jews”.

“I’m a Koori I can do what I like,” he said.

McMillan then verbally threatened a 47-year-old man walking by with his family after they made eye-contact.

“Do you wanna f—ing go? I’ll f—in bash ya. This is my f—in land,” he said.

The 23-year-old rode a bicycle to Waverley Oval where he intimidated a second visibly Jewish victim walking with his son to a synagogue by yelling anti-Semitic remarks.

He rode onto Bondi Junction where he continued yelling racist slurs after falling off his bike.

He was arrested by NSW Police on February 4.

Alexander told the court today the incident was sparked by someone responding to his client yelling, “Free Palestine” on the footbridge.

“You’re stealing land and killing woman and children … just like the white man,” he allegedly said.

The barrister said his client had taken a mix of alcohol, ketamine, MDMA and magic mushrooms.

A psychologist had also provisionally diagnosed the bricklayer with a complex post traumatic background due to a deprived childhood.

Judge Barko noted McMillan was on parole at the time, breaching conditions imposed by taking illicit substances and committing further offences.

Outside court, Alexander told reporters the sentence imposed was a pretty fair outcome.

“My client’s pretty pleased with it,” he said.

“He’ll just get on with his life and hopefully will do a lot better when he comes out.”

In March, the Local Court heard McMillan wanted to apologise to the court for his conduct.

A direct apology did not occur today.

McMillan’s friend has been charged over the incident with a warrant out for his arrest.

Accused terrorist Naveed Akram and his father Sajid opened fire during Hannukah celebrations at Bondi Beach in Sydney on December 14.

Fifteen people were killed, including a 10-year-old girl, and 40 people were injured, while Sajid Akram was shot dead by police.

Mina Starsiak Hawk’s Transformation: The Story Behind Her Unique Facial Procedure




Mina Starsiak Hawk, a familiar face from HGTV, is often recognized for her vibrant red hair. However, beyond her striking hair, she was also known for her charming freckles. Recently, though, it seems the “Good Bones” star has parted ways with many of those freckles, as she has invested substantially in plastic surgery over time.

Mina Starsiak Hawk is one of the most recognizable HGTV alums — and it’s mostly because of her distinctive red hair. However the “Good Bones” star is also known for her face full of charming freckles. Well, she used to be, because it seems that Hawk, who’s admitted to spending a fortune on plastic surgery over the years, has had most of them removed.

While freckle removal wasn’t a specific goal she mentioned, her nearly freckle-free skin in a recent video suggests the procedure was effective. Hawk, however, is unfazed by opinions on her skincare decisions. She emphasized self-care in her video caption, writing, “We all do things to make ourselves feel or look better,” and encouraged people to embrace what makes them happy, whether it’s a spray tan, hair dye, daily makeup, or any other personal enhancement.

Mina Starsiak Hawk has always been transparent about her plastic surgery choices, unlike some celebrities who prefer to keep such details private.

In 2021, she openly discussed undergoing a “mommy makeover,” which included a breast augmentation and a tummy tuck after her second child was born. Hawk shared with People her reasons for the surgery, explaining that her C-section scar was a constant reminder of no longer recognizing or feeling like herself. As someone who enjoys physical work and exercise, she felt her core strength was crucial, stating, “I just didn’t feel like I was going to be able to work out and get this back to where I felt strong, like myself, like I did before kids.”

Mina Starsiak Hawk is confident about her cosmetic work

Mina Starsiak Hawk has never lied about having plastic surgery, unlike some celebs. 

In 2021, Hawk even admitted to getting a “mommy makeover,” which included a breast augmentation and a tummy tuck, after the birth of her second child. “My C-section scar was a very visual and physical reminder of not looking like myself and not feeling like myself anymore,” Hawk explained to People about the motivation behind her surgery. “I do a very physical job and I like working out, and your core is so attached to everything, every movement I do, like swinging a hammer.” She continued, “And I just didn’t feel like I was going to be able to work out and get this back to where I felt strong, like myself, like I did before kids.”

Hawk kept this same energy in January 2025 when she posted an Instagram video after getting a different laser procedure done. The HGTV star showed off a face full of red, irritated skin, which she felt made her look like “a monster.” Her goal was “baby fresh” skin, but this was definitely one of those moments when she had to trust the process. And though she didn’t show the full results in that post, she did remind people that’s she’s not afraid of spending a little dough to get the results she wants. “If you’re 40 and your face doesn’t look like mine, you’ll at least know it’s because I spent money to torture myself to get that fresh to death skin,” she wrote in the caption. “So be cool to each other (and to me). Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.”



Why My Relationship Crumbled Over Restaurant Bills: A Cautionary Tale

A lively online discussion has erupted after a man shared the story of how a disagreement over a dining bill led to the end of his relationship.

In a social media confession, the man detailed how his girlfriend ended their relationship when he refused to foot the bill for her friends during a group dinner.

Dispute Over Restaurant Bills

Initially, the man wasn’t included in the outing plans but later received an invitation to join his girlfriend and her friends at a restaurant. Throughout the evening, he noticed that the group indulged in high-priced dishes and beverages.

To prevent any misunderstandings, he discreetly asked the server to divide the bill. Upon receiving it, he settled the cost for himself and his girlfriend alone.

This decision reportedly shifted the mood among those at the table.

“The table went silent,” he wrote, adding that the group members eventually paid for their own orders after a moment of hesitation.

Fallout and Breakup

He further explained that the tension continued after the outing. During their journey home, he described the mood as unusually quiet.

Later, his girlfriend confronted him, accusing him of embarrassing her in front of her friends.

At home, the disagreement escalated into an argument. “She said I embarrassed her and that she was disappointed,” he stated.

According to him, she then issued an ultimatum. “I should transfer the money to her friends or this relationship is over,” she reportedly said.

The man said he refused the demand, after which the relationship ended.

Unexpected Apology

Weeks after the breakup, the man revealed that his former girlfriend reached out with an apology. However, he claimed that her message still included a request for him to refund her friends.

“This morning her apology came in, with the same request attached,” he wrote.

He added that he declined again and made it clear he was not interested in reconciling.

“I won’t and there’s no chance I’m taking you back,” he responded.

Open Heaven 21 April 2026 Tuesday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – Reversing Sickness

Open Heaven 21 April 2026 TOPIC – Reversing Sickness

MEMORISE: But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. – Malachi 4:2 (KJV)

READ: Acts 9:32-34 (KJV)

32 And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.

33 And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.

34 And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Kings 9-10

Open Heaven 21 April 2026 MESSAGE

There was once a young boy whose idol- worshipping parents took to an Ifa priest – a traditional spiritualist – when he was born. Their intention was to find out what would become of him in the future. When they got to the priest, he looked at the baby and said, “You had better take this boy to Jesus Christ.” On hearing that, his parents got upset and said, what kind of nonsense is this? How can an ifa priest recommend Jesus? Something must be wrong with you.” As they took the boy away from the place, he suddenly fell sick and subsequently suffered poor health all through his childhood. His parents took him everywhere in search of a solution, but the boy kept falling sick. One day, someone told the boy’s parents to bring him to one of our programmes. They brought him to the programme covered in all kinds of charms. As I was preaching, I suddenly noticed a little stir in the congregation. After the service, I enquired about what caused the commotion earlier, and I was told that, during the service, the boy’s mother removed his shirt and hung it on a chair because the sun was scorching hot, and the heat became unbearable for him. Shortly after, a snake came out of the boy’s shirt while I was ministering. The power of God came down heavily and dealt with every evil force that was working against the boy. The snake was killed, and the boy received total deliverance from sickness. I pray that God will uproot anything He has not planted in your body, in Jesus’ name.

Today’s Bible reading tells us about a man, Aeneas, who was bedridden for eight years. He must have had different types of bedsores for those eight years since he couldn’t move by himself and must have been at the mercy of everyone around him until Peter visited his hometown, Lydda. On seeing him, Peter commanded him to arise and make his bed. Imagine someone who couldn’t move from his bed by himself for eight years suddenly rising up to make his bed and move around.

Beloved, God can make long-lasting illnesses disappear in the twinkling of an eye. Therefore, if you are sick or have a loved one who is sick, call on Him today, and He will reverse that sickness and turn it into good health. I pray that God’s power will destroy any illness that might exist in your body and give you divine health, in Jesus’ name.

Open Heaven 21 April 2026 PRAYER POINT

Father, please reverse any incurable sickness that exists in my life or those of my loved ones, in Jesus’ name.

TOPIC: Wisdom In Diligent Labour (DCLM Daily Manna 21 April 2026)

KEY VERSE: He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding – Proverbs 12:11

TEXT: Proverbs 12:8-13 (KJV)

8 A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.

9 He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.

10 A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

11 He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.

12 The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.

13 The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.

DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:

‘No food for the lazy man’ is an age-old adage still relevant today. Laziness is a mental state of human choice. No one is born lazy. Indeed, the human brain is a gift from God to everyone, helping them to function fully. The brainstem does everything you need to live, like breathing, pumping blood, sleeping and waking up. The diligent man wakes up and tills his land while the lazy one wilfully sleeps on. Today’s text extols hard work. Since Israel’s economy at this time was primarily focused on the fields for the production of crops and livestock, the author encourages all to rise and work in the fields. Those who failed to work are said to be ‘void of understanding’.

Beyond the alarm clocks now available to help us wake up from sleep at the set time, the cerebellum helps everyone jump, walk, play, and pick up things. It controls all human movements and balance. Again, it depends on one to choose to walk and the other to sit down and do nothing. The limbic system is where human emotions live. Memories also live in the limbic system. Those who employ their emotions positively build for themselves positive, proactive and progressive attitudes that activate success vibes within their mental makeup. Those who are redundant in their attitudes to life refuse to activate their positive emotions and instead accentuate negative, self-entitled, and selfish feelings about themselves. These trains of emotions ruin their capacity to achieve success. They rob themselves of God’s innate gift for them to live a prosperous life.

There is a spiritual poem for the sluggard:

“How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard?
When wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
Yet a little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to sleep:
So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth,
And thy want as an armed man.”

We must wake up and work while trusting God to bless us abundantly according to His promise.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
In the dance of effort and reward, laziness misses every step.

Rhapsody Of Realities 21 April 2026: Rivers Of Living Water

Rhapsody Of Realities 21 April 2026 By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome (Christ Embassy): Rivers Of Living Water

TOPIC: Rivers Of Living Water (Rhapsody of Realities 21 April 2026)

In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified (John 7:37-39).

Rhapsody Of Realities For Today’s MESSAGE:

You’d have to carefully review the words of the Lord Jesus that we just read so you can understand them clearly. In the 38th verse, He said, “He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said….” If you delete the comma after “me,” it’ll read, “He that believeth on me as the scripture hath said;” now, that’s the correct rendering.

The translators inserted the comma in their attempt to explain what they thought the Master said, but when you study the original text, it’s very clear; it’s without the comma. So, when you read it, as presented in the KJV, you might think it’s a scripture quotation. But what the Lord Jesus was saying is, if you believe in Him as the Scripture says, rivers of living water will issue forth from within you—from out of your belly.

What are “rivers of living water”? They are words empowered by the Holy Spirit, Spirit‑inspired words that give life just as the Lord Jesus said, _“…the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life” (John 6:63). Now, recall that the 39th verse of our theme scripture connects the rivers of living water to the Holy Spirit: “But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive….”

Thus, the Holy Spirit pours forth from you through faith‑filled words. Your words are life‑giving, ministering the power of the Spirit everywhere and to everyone; they bring refreshing, healing and restoration to your hearers. Blessed be God!

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for the rivers of living water that flow from within me. My words are spirit and life, bringing refreshing, healing and restoration to my hearers. I function by the law of the Spirit of life; I’m a life giver. I impact my world with your glory, righteousness and grace, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY

Proverbs 18:4 (KJV) The words of a man’s mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.

John 6:63 (NIV) The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life.

John 7:37-38 (NIV) On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. [38] Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”

Influencer Issues Apology Following Incident of Leaving Baby Unattended in Hotel Room for Massage

0

An Australian influencer recently found herself in hot water after admitting to leaving her infant unattended in a hotel room during a vacation in Bali. The incident has sparked a wave of criticism and forced the influencer, Taleigha Skye, to issue an apology to her followers.

The controversy began when Taleigha, who hails from Perth, left her six-month-old son alone in their locked hotel room to enjoy a foot massage. This decision quickly ignited backlash online, with many drawing comparisons to the tragic case of Madeleine McCann, a three-year-old who disappeared under similar circumstances during a family vacation in Portugal in 2007.

Adding fuel to the fire, Taleigha had shared a now-deleted TikTok video in which she demonstrated how she monitored her child remotely while she attended her appointment. The video showed her holding a monitoring device as she left the hotel premises. Despite her attempt to reassure viewers, the post was met with harsh criticism.

The incident gained further notoriety after being shared on the Facebook page TeaTime, where it attracted numerous comments condemning her actions. Many social media users expressed outrage and concern, highlighting the dangers of leaving a child unattended, even momentarily. As the online backlash intensified, Taleigha was compelled to address the situation and apologise publicly.

The content creator was quickly slammed online for her post after it was shared to the Facebook page TeaTime, with several drawing parallels to the headline-making mystery surrounding the McCann child.

Madeleine McCann vanished from an apartment in Portugal’s Praia da Luz while her parents dined at a nearby tapas bar.

‘Is this normal practice? This mum is in Bali with her two young kids, and has left the baby (under one) alone in the resort room,’ shared one user on the Facebook page.

‘She’s left the room and walked away to have a 30-minute foot massage done? 

‘It seemed she walked some distance too… it looks like she’s staying in a resort or similar.

‘If this is normal practice, how do you not have a literal panic attack at doing this?’ 

‘It’s giving Madeleine McCann. [Her] parents allegedly left her alone in the resort room,’ commented one user on the thread.

‘Did we not learn from Madeleine McCann?’ another person wrote. 

A third agreed: ‘In this day and age, after Madeleine McCann, why would any parent do this? I’m shook.’

‘My instant thoughts, I could never [do this] in Australia, let alone a foreign country,’ replied another TeaTime user.

In a now-deleted TikTok clip, Taleigha was shown holding a video monitoring device, so she could keep an eye on her son as she walked from her accommodation to her appointment

Critics have likened the situation to the disappearance of three-year-old Madeleine McCann (pictured) during a family vacation in Portugal in 2007

‘I love her, but this is not it,’ said a fan of Taleigha, who has acquired a dedicated following for her motherhood and lifestyle posts.

Elsewhere, Taleigha revealed that her husband and eldest boy were out quad-bike riding during her time away from the room.

In response to the onslaught of negative comments, Taleigha posted a statement to her Instagram Stories addressing the controversy.

‘I want to address what’s been circulating online,’ she began.

‘I made a poor decision, and I take full responsibility for it.

‘Although I was only metres away from the locked resort room and had constant monitoring, I recognise that this did not make the situation safe.

‘We do have a lovely nanny here in Bali who was unavailable that day. This is not a justification, just context.

‘I understand the seriousness of my actions, and I can confidently say this is the first and last time it will ever happen.’

The mother of two often shares videos as part of the ‘boy mum’ trend featuring her two young sons, including the elder child, who is four. 

She welcomed her second son, who she also shares with her partner, Ash, in October. 

Tragic House Party Shooting in Davenport: One Teen Dead, Two Injured


DAVENPORT, Fla. (WFLA) — A tragic incident unfolded at a Vrbo rental property in Champions Gate early Saturday morning, resulting in the death of an 18-year-old and injuries to two others. This occurred during a house party, as confirmed by the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office.

Authorities have not yet made any arrests related to the shooting. The event took place shortly after 1 a.m. on Sommerset Hills Drive, where a significant gathering was underway.

Polk County detectives are actively pursuing leads in the investigation of this prom party shooting.

“There was probably at least 60 kids, 16, 17, 18,” observed Alicia Brown, another vacationer staying in the vicinity.

This incident marks the third shooting connected to house parties at short-term rental properties in Osceola County over the past seven months. The sheriff’s office reports that more than 600 violent crimes have occurred during similar gatherings.

“We were nervous. My husband and I, discussed for a while, if we were going to stay, if we were going to look for another place,” Brown said.

Both the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office and Polk County Sheriff’s Offices, which cover portions of the Davenport area, have committed to patrolling and shutting down illegal house parties, which often incorporate underage drinking, drugs, and violence.
