We have our first look at Unexpected Season 7.

In a trailer revealed by Us Weekly, viewers meet for the first time eight teenagers navigating pregnancy and parenthood earlier than the average individual.

For example?

There are 18-year olds Isabella and Bryce.

They are expecting a child and they are dealing with their own parents not getting along. At all.

“Bryce needs anger management,” Isabella’s mom says in the footage. “He’s a manipulative, narcissistic, piece of sh-t.”

Bryce’s mom then chimes in as follows: “You should hear how your daughter calls my son a little bitch.”

Perhaps most notable in the preview, we get to know Bella, 15, and Hunter, 13, who are trying their best to grow up quickly. Again: Just look at their ages.

“I don’t want him to be held back in the 8th grade,” Bella’s mom shares in the trailer, prompting her daughter to respond:

“I don’t want him to be a tenth grader dating an eighth grader. We’ve got a toddler.”

Elsewhere in the teaser, viewers meet 16-year-olds Amya and Jose. While sitting down with her the former’s mother, Amya says something rather shocking… and depressing.

“I heard my mom say it was harder for bigger girls to get pregnant,” she claims to her parent’s shock and awe. “Like, there was no way.”

(We hopefully don’t need to say this, but: That advice is false.)

Finally, 16-year-olds Mia and Jessie think they are ready to become parents. Unfortunately, their own moms and dads aren’t exactly getting along with each other.

“When I first met Jessie, I kind of didn’t like him,” Mia’s dad says very plainly. “And then this [pregnancy] happened. I definitely don’t like the kid now.”

Unexpected premiered in 2017. The official press release for this season reads:

This season brings together a mix of new teen couples, ages 13 to 18, offering an unfiltered look at the moments that shape their journeys. From baby showers, to births, to unexpectedly difficult decisions, grandparents step in, opinions collide and tensions rise as everyone pushes for what they believe is best for the baby.

Unexpected Season 7 premieres on TLC Monday, February 16, at 9/8c.

Unexpected Season 7 to Feature 13-Year Old Father-To-Be was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Meghan Markle is not content to simply live a quiet life as the Duchess of Sussex and wife to Prince Harry.

She has real ambitions — a fact that she’s never concealed but one that is often treated as somehow shameful by the British press.

These days, Meghan is focused on her Netflix series and her As Ever line of high-end food products.

The brand has found remarkable success in its first months, but like any new business owner, Meghan has encountered the occasional snafu.

Most recently, a glitch on the company’s website enabled users to view As Ever’s inventory numbers.

Yes, every rando who visited the site could see exactly how many jars of artisinal jam Meghan had sold.

That type of breach is no big deal in the long run — its not like the site was exposing people’s credit card numbers or anything — but it did provide fresh ammo for Meghan’s many haters.

You see, the British tabloid press was quick to determine that Meghan had already sold one million jars of jam, at $27 per unit.

And one guy flew into a rage at the idea of Meghan bringing in $27 million just by selling jam.

Writing for The Telegraph, columnist William Sitwell essentially argued that Meghan’s jam sales are a sign that society is in a state of freefall.

He began by laying out for young entrepreneurs what lessons they can take from Meghan’s success:

“Have an absolutely razor-sharp vision of how to become famous and powerful and enact the plan via a blog, TV game shows, a snazzy Netflix drama, snagging a prince and positioning yourself as a helpless princess in a realm of beastly and backward strictures and rigmarole,” Sitwell wrote, adding:

“Then, flee that house of racism and colonial brutality, move to LA, publicise your private agonies in documentaries and drawn-out interviews – painting yourself as an unfairly maligned Messiah-like icon – and, finally, star in a syrupy TV homecraft series before flogging jam.”

Sitwell went on to argue that Meghan’s success is a sign of a much larger problem.

“We all know that there is actually something very, horribly, agonisingly, disturbingly wrong about this,” he wrote.

“Society is surely going wrong, fracturing to pieces, when an influencer of Meghan’s kind, a creature perfectly cast for the modern age, can persuade hundreds of thousands of people to part with their hard-earned money for this type of product,” he continued adding:

“While many talk of the importance of small-time producers – of the fruits of the labour of those who endure a daily grind, hammered by tax and red tape … is that society is now nothing but a hollow vessel of vanity worshippers.”

The irony, of course, is that like so many other anti-Meghan screeds, this one just serves to bolster the argument that millions of Brits hated her for no reason, and she made the right call by relocating to California.

If the haters get this angry over jam sales, imagine how they would react when Meghan stood up for herself.

As you very likely know by now, Jessica Simpson is single.

The singer and former football player Eric Johnson split last January after a decade of marriage.

But the question these days on the minds of plenty of observers goes something like this:

Is Jessica Simpson single… and ready to mingle… as the lead of The Bachelorette?!?

After separating from Johnson just about a year ago, there’s been some chatter around the Internet that Simpson was in negotiations to join the ABC franchise.

It’s not entirely clear why, of course.

Because Simpson seemingly hasn’t dated anyone since and did star a long time ago on the MTV reality show Newlyweds with Nick Lachey?

Maybe? We guess?

Either way, TMZ caught up to Simpson outside of the airport in Los Angeles this week and asked if she had any interest in being The Bachelorette.

“I have options, I’m good,” the singer replied.

So there we have it.

To their credit, considering they are the parents of three young children, Simpson and Johnson continue to spend a lot of time together.

They took a family vacation together in August, months after Jessica issued a statement that read as follows:

“Eric and I have been living separately, navigating a painful situation in our marriage. Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them. We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way, and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family.”

As for The Bachelorette? ABC does seem to be headed into a more famous direction with its leads.

The network announced in September that Taylor Frankie Paul from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives will head up the show’s next season.

Here is now ABC teased the new Bachelorette in a press release at that time:

“The 31-year-old Utah native is ready to trade headline-making heartbreak for hometown dates as she begins making her mark on Bachelor Nation.

[Taylor] is the breakout star of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, captivating millions with her raw, unapologetic storytelling. Off-screen, she’s a TikTok powerhouse whose comedic, heartwarming and bitingly honest content has earned her a massive following.

As a single mother of three, [Taylor] shares the highs and lows of her life with unfiltered candor. With humor, resilience and a fearless openness, she inspires others to embrace life’s chaos and own their story.
