OHMYGOSSIP — Matthew McConaughey almost left Hollywood for good after getting typecast following his “rom-com years”.
The ‘Failure to Launch’ star took two years off from the glitz and the glamour of acting when he felt he wasn’t getting enough meaty parts, before returning to star in more dramatic roles like ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’, ‘True Detective’, and his Academy Award-winning turn in ‘The Dallas Buyers Club’.
The 54-year-old actor told actor Glen Powell, 35, for Interview magazine: “I’ve usually zigged when I felt like Hollywood wanted me to zag.
“When I had my rom-com years, there was only so much bandwidth I could give to those, and those were some solid hits for me. But I wanted to try some other stuff. Of course I wasn’t getting it, so I had to leave Hollywood for two years.”
Matthew described the decision as “scary”, and he heavily relied on the support of his wife Camila Alves, 41, with whom he has kids Levi, 15, Vida, 14, and Livingston, 11.
He added: “Dude, it was scary. I had long talks with my wife about needing to find a new vocation. ‘I think I’m going to teach high school classes. I think I’m going to study to be a conductor. I think I’m going to go be a wildlife guide’.
“I honestly thought, ‘I stepped out of Hollywood. I got out of my lane.’ The lane Hollywood said I should stay in, and Hollywood’s like, ‘Well, f*** you, dude. You should have stayed in your lane. Later.’”
Matthew also reminisced about his “first big success”, the 1996 Joe Schumacher legal drama ‘A Time To Kill’, and how it impacted his career.
He said: “For me, going back to ‘A Time to Kill’, after I first had a big success in a major studio picture and became famous, I remembered that the Thursday before that movie opened, there’s 100 scripts out there that I would’ve done, and 99 of them I could not book.
“Over that one weekend, 99 noes became 99 yeses. I was like, ‘What? Three days ago, I’d have done any of these! And now you’re asking me which one I want to do?’ It was a hell of a shocking thing.
“I chucked on a backpack and went to Peru for three weeks just so I could hear myself think.. Have you had to go, ‘I would’ve done any of these roles, but now I’ve got to be discerning?’
“I’ve had similar runs where I’ve said no to things, where I’m like, ‘Am I being too safe, or am I ferociously chasing what I want? Because sometimes you can get paralyzed in the no’s. I’ve had plenty of times in my career where I’m like, ‘I don’t know what I want to do, I just know I don’t want to do that.’”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ariana Grande changes her speaking voice for “vocal health” reasons.
The pop star has admitted she became used to talking in a higher register while working on movie-musical ‘Wicked’ and she often alternates the tone she uses in a bid to keep her vocal cords healthy.
After a fan questioned why Ariana’s speaking voice seems to change between a lower and higher tone in one particular interview, the singer explained her reasons in a comment posted on a TikTok video. She wrote: “Habit (speaking like this for two years) and also vocal health …
“I intentionally change my vocal placement (high / low) often depending on how much singing I’m doing. I’ve always done this BYE.”
Ariana plays Glinda in the ‘Wicked’ movie – directed by Jon M. Chu – which is being released in two parts with the first scheduled to hit cinemas in November.
She also released a new album ‘Eternal Sunshine’ in March and the singer recently admitted she didn’t actually plan to drop any new music until after ‘Wicked’ had been released but she ended up working on songs while movie work was put on hold due to last year’s Hollywood strikes.
Speaking on the ‘Zach Sang Show’, Ariana explained: “I did not plan to [make new music now]. I didn’t have the goal to make an album.
“I actually was really opposed to coming out with music until after ‘Wicked’, either both parts or just one part. I wasn’t sure how I would feel …
“It all just kind of started pouring out, and after our first week together [with producer Max Martin], I kept coming to the studio every day by myself, and it just kinda kept organically happening that way, so I just decided to react and listen to that, and I thought maybe it should come out if it’s coming out of me this way. Maybe it should be shared this way.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Alec Baldwin has accused the prosecutors in his involuntary manslaughter case of “withholding information”.
The 66-year-old actor is set to face trial over the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins – who was fatally shot on the set of Western ‘Rust’ when a prop gun being held by the star discharged – but his legal team have filed a motion asking for the indictment to be dismissed due to New Mexico prosecutors’ failure to “disclose” evidence to them in a timely manner.
According to a motion filed on Monday (17.06.23) and obtained by People magazine, Alec’s lawyers claimed the state had been in possession of “thousands of files,” over “150,000 pages of documents” and “dozens of gigabytes worth of data” for months, and in some cases “over a year,” which contained “critical evidence favourable to Baldwin’s defense” that could have “reshaped” the way they had prepared for the trial if they had been disclosed earlier.
The motion argued the state had violated the former ’30 Rock’ star’s constitutional rights under both New Mexico law and the landmark US Supreme Court ruling Brady v. Maryland, which determined that the prosecution must turn over to the defendant any evidence in its possession that suggests the defendant is not guilty.
The lawyers wrote: “Whether the State’s misconduct was intentional or purported to be just careless, severe remedies are warranted.”
They have asked judge Mary Marlow Sommer to dismiss the indictment or “reduce the prejudice that the state’s misconduct has caused” by precluding all of the “testimony, evidence and argument related to the contention that Baldwin must have pulled the trigger.”
Alec’s lawyers want the judge to force the state to disclose its final witness list and “outstanding document productions”, including answers to their client’s questions relating to the investigation.
Last month, the judge denied a motion to dismiss the charge.
She ruled the court did not find that the jury had been improperly instructed, nor did the prosecution violate instruction of the grand jury judge.
Alec’s lawyers had argued for the case to be dismissed due to “destruction of evidence,” and prosecutors’ “failure to allege a criminal offense.”
A hearing is scheduled to take place on 21 June, where the judge will also hear a motion from the state to compel ‘Rust’ armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed – who was previously sentenced to 18 months in prison for involuntary manslaughter in relation to Halyna’s death – to testify during the trial.

OHMYGOSSIP — Billy Ray Cyrus’ legal team have branded Firerose’s allegations against him “confusing and suspicious”.
The ‘Achy Breaky Heart’ hitmaker filed for divorce from the Australian singer in late May, and in her response to his petition, she accused him of “extreme verbal, emotional and psychological abuse”.
But in a statement, Billy Ray’s lawyers have hit back at her allegations as they claimed she “begged” him to reconcile days after he applied to formally end their marriage.
The legal team told People magazine Firerose’s claims were “especially confusing and suspicious in its veracity since she begged Mr. Cyrus to forgive her and take her back only 2 days after he filed his pleadings to dissolve his marriage.”
The statement added: “If Mr. Cyrus was truly guilty of the allegations that [Firerose] alleges in her pleadings, then it is mindboggling to try and explain why she would want to return to live with him.
“Furthermore, she was pleading with him to give her a chance to explain everything to him.”
After Firerose, 36, filed her divorce petition on 14 June, Billy Ray’s team responded and submitted their own complaint on 17 June, a supplement to his initial annulment and divorce complaint that was lodged on 23 May.
He alleged his estranged wife “had been conducting a campaign to isolate” him from his family and blocked him from communicating with a daughter since the May filing, and also included a handwritten note he claimed had been penned by Firerose.
His lawyers, Rose Palermo and Jason Talley, told People Billy Ray had “discovered” the letter in which Firerose was “professing her love and need to be with Mr. Cyrus” when he returned to his home two days after she “was required, by Court Order, to vacate his residence of over 25 years.”
The note read: “I miss you more than I can possibly explain in words Baby.
“Please let’s work this out and not become anything but closer out of this hellish experience.
“I need you. I love you. I am so sorry.”
And a text message also supposedly sent to Billy Ray from Firerose “shortly after she was required to vacate his premarital residence” was also seen by the publication.
She allegedly wrote: “I am listening to you Baby. I love you.
“I don’t want us to be on different sides fighting a war that nobody wins. I am going to do what you’re telling me because you promise me we can talk as soon as I’ve left and I trust you.
“I’m praying with my entire soul that we can find each other again today.
“I feel completely lost + miss you more than I can explain. And you will know I’m listening to and showing you with my actions. We need to be kind and loving to each other no matter what happens.
“You have been my best friend in the world every day for over 4 years. 24/7. I miss you terribly. My heart is shattered + I need my best friend right now more than ever.
“I lost 5lbs since Wednesday. I just can’t eat no matter how much I try. I don’t want to live without you. Please give me a chance to make this right. I can explain everything but I need you by my side. I need my Hero back. (sic)”
Elsewhere in the complaint, Billy Ray accused Firerose – who he married in October 2023 – of lying about her last name and about being married twice before, and accused her of trying to use his famous surname to further her own career.

OHMYGOSSIP — Justin Timberlake will “have a lot to say” about his arrest when he is able to.
The 43-year-old pop star’s car was pulled over in Sag Harbor, New York in the early hours of Tuesday (18.06.24) and he was detained on charges of driving while intoxicated (DWI) after taking a field sobriety test and allegedly refusing a breathalyser – and his legal team have vowed to “vigorously defend” him in court.
Justin’s lawyer, Edward Burke Jr. told the New York Post newspaper’s Page Six column in a statement: “[We] look forward to vigorously defending Mr. Timberlake against these allegations. We will have a lot to say at the appropriate time. He is currently awaiting full discovery from the DA’s office.”
According to the paperwork, the arresting officer observed Timberlake’s eyes were “bloodshot and glassy, a strong odour of an alcoholic beverage was emanating from his breath, he was unable to divide attention, he had slowed speech, he was unsteady afoot, and he performed poorly on all standardised field sobriety tests”.
After being taken to a police station, the report was read aloud to the former NSYNC singer. He responded: “No, I’m not doing a chemical test.”
After being read the report two more times, he replied: “I refuse [to take a chemical test].”

OHMYGOSSIP — Missy Elliott feels “blessed” to be alive.
The ‘Work It’ hitmaker has struggled with autoimmune disorder Graves’ disease – which can cause anxiety, fatigue, and weight loss – and depression over the years but she is feeling “so much better” now and relieved to be strong and healthy.
She told People magazine: “Every day I wake, I’m blessed to be here and in good health.
“I’m feeling so much better now. That was a run. Every now and then you get a little ache in the leg or the knee, but outside of that, I feel good.”
The 52-year-old singer is hitting the road for the first time since 2004 with her first ever headline tour ‘Out of This World – The Missy Elliott Experience’ – which will also feature her friends and collaborators Ciara – and she’s “super excited” about her plans for the concerts.
She said: “I’m hanging in there. It’s full days, then I go home, and the work continues. But I feel good. I’m super excited…
“Listen, every morning my regimen is I get up, wash my face, brush my teeth and walk.
“I say my prayers as I’m walking, and then all of these ideas start coming to mind.
“I’ll call everybody like, ‘I want to swing from this,’ and they’re like, ‘Do you know how much that costs?’ ”
The ‘Work It’ hitmaker admitted the tour has been a long time in the making.
She said: “Ciara had been asking me and asking me. I’d be like, ‘Okay,’ but then I’d always find myself in the studio doing something else.”
But as well as her health issues, Missy admitted she retreated from the spotlight because she is “most definitely an introvert”.
She added: “I’m shy.”
Asked how she reconciles that with her music stardom, she replied: “I don’t know. It’s one of those things I can’t really explain.”
Ciara can’t wait to get on stage with her friend.
She said: “Missy has always been one of my greatest inspirations and like a big sister to me.
“She is the definition of a true artist. She has always raised the bar to the highest level, and I feel so blessed that we have been able to share some of our biggest hits together.
“I have no doubt we are going to give the fans an out of this world experience.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jon Hamm was “terrified” of proposing to Anna Osceola.
The ‘Morning Show’ actor tied the knot with the 36-year-old actress in June 2023, just a few months after they got engaged, and he admitted that because his parents had divorced when he was very young, he previously “didn’t look at marriage as a thing” so was wary of venturing into the unknown.
He told The Hollywood Reporter: “Obviously, my parents were not married long, so I don’t have a model to look at and go, ‘Oh, this is how one finds happiness.’
“I just knew at a certain point I wanted to be with this person. But when I proposed, I was terrified. I was like, ‘What am I doing?’ ”
Asked what had “terrified” him, the 53-year-old star replied: “I don’t know. I just remember feeling, ‘This is really scary.’
“Then going, ‘Well, it probably means it’s worthwhile.’ ”
The couple – who first met on the set of the ‘Mad Men’ finale, which aired in 2015, though they were not romantically linked until 2020 – tied the knot at Anderson Canyon in Big Sur, California, the site of the last episode of the advertising drama, and had a “perfect” day.
Jon gushed: “My wedding day was perfect. Everybody I love was there.
“It was so emotional, and it felt right. I was like, ‘OK, I guess this is a thing.’
“Again, it was like a reset, a reboot, a reframe, a reimagining, nine years later, almost to the day [of the ‘Mad Men’ finale.] So, it’s been great.”
The ‘Fargo’ actor and his wife are hoping to have children, but Jon is very aware he will be an “old dad”.
He said: “It’s not lost on me that I’m 53. I will be the old dad, but so it goes.
“It could be a good thing. We’ll see.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Teri Hatcher has “sort of given up” on finding love again.
The 59-year-old actress – who has 26-year-old daughter Emerson with ex-husband Jon Tenney – insisted her “heart is open” to find a new partner but she knows they would have to be “really special” to catch her eye now because the life she leads is so fulfilling.
She told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “I’ve sort of given up. I mean, I don’t want to say I’ve given up. My heart is open.
“But, you know, I have lovely friends. I travel, I experience things. I take care of my parents. I love my cats. I garden. I go to the beach…. It’s just a very full life and the truth is, I think this person, if there ever is one, is just going to have to be really special, you know?
“Rather than pining away, I’ve chosen to just put a lot of effort into the life I want to live.”
The former ‘Desperate Housewives’ star had attempted to find love on dating app Hinge but she thinks it was “silly” to use the platform as many people were only interested in her celebrity status, while others thought she was an impersonator, resulting in her getting “kicked off” the site.
She said: “I did get kicked off of Hinge. There was enough people that I did not respond to, because they would text me things like, are you still ‘real and spectacular’? — and I’m like, OK, that’s not who I want to date.”
Explaining others questioned if she was the “real” Teri Hatcher, she added: “So I never answered those people, and I think they got mad and went and complained and said, ‘There’s somebody on here pretending to be Teri Hatcher,’ and so they just kicked me off.
“It was probably silly to even try it, but I was kind of trying to say to the universe, ‘I’m open. I’m not afraid.’ I was trying to do that, but I think it’s the wrong place for me.”
Meanwhile, Teri and her daughter are busy working on a project together, and have been pitching a series that is “a hybrid between a very legit reality competition show and a scripted show.”
She explained: “So if you sort of imagine me hosting ‘The Bachelor’, and walking off [set] into ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’, [that’s it] in a nutshell – without giving too much away.
“We’ve been meeting with different companies and we have a lot of people interested.
“Getting to watch my 26-year-old daughter just crush it… it’s just amazing to sit there and watch her do that.
“But also, I said to her, ‘You know, if we sell this show we’re gonna have to work together every day.’ To have her say, ‘I would love that,’ I think that’s the best thing in my whole life.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kevin Costner “feared” getting divorced again.
The 69-year-old actor split from Christine Baumgartner in May 2023 after 18 years of marriage, and he admitted he had reservations about tying the knot again because of the impact on his children.
Kevin – who has Annie, 40, Lily, 37, and Joe, 36, with ex-wife Cindy Silva, Liam, 26, with former partner Bridget Rooney, and Cayden, 17, Hayes, 15, and 14-year-old Grace with Christine – told People magazine: “It was something I had to think about 20 years ago, when I agreed to be married [again]. I had been divorced once and that was rough with kids…
“That was my fear and so I’m kind of living with that right now. But that’s life.”
Despite the acrimonious nature of his split from Christine and his regret they “just weren’t able to go the distance”, the ‘Yellowstone’ actor still praised his former spouse as a “good partner and good mother”.
The ‘Horizon: An American Saga’ filmmaker has insisted his children are always his first priority.
He said: “It’s really about the children.
“You just do it. You just keep talking, you keep coaching [the kids], you keep interested in what they’re interested in.”
Kevin has been though lots of ups and downs in his life but the veteran actor doesn’t have any regrets.
He shared: “The gamble is ignoring my heart and ignoring it whispering to me.
“What I can say is I’ve had an amazing life. I’ve been bruised, but I’ve had an amazing life and I’m grateful for that.”
Earlier this year, Kevin revealed that at one stage, he doubted he’d ever make it in Hollywood.
He said on the ‘Armchair Expert’ podcast: “Once I got through the door, I kind of went pretty fast.
“It wasn’t Tom Cruise sliding across the floor at 18. It was for me at 27, 28. I was a stage manager at Raleigh, working for $3.25 and Richard Gere and Mel Gibson and Nicolas Cage and Timothy Hutton, Sean Penn. At a certain point, [I thought] maybe I wasn’t going to get the part.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Two Madonna fans have dropped their lawsuit against the singer for being late on stage.
In January, Michael Fellows and Jason Alvarez filed a class action case against the ‘Hung Up’ singer and promoters Live Nation after the singer was two hours late starting her ‘Celebration’ show at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on December 13 – arguing they would not have bought tickets if they had known the event would not start until 10.30pm, but now they have voluntarily dismissed their suit with prejudice.
While such an action often indicates a settlement has been reached by the parties, sources told TMZ no agreement had been reached between Madonna and the plaintiffs, but the men dismissed the lawsuit of their own accord.
The update comes a few weeks after Madonna filed to have the case dismissed, arguing fans know she always starts her show well after the ticketed time.
Court documents argued: “If a fan is familiar enough with Madonna’s concert history to know her performances run for two hours and fifteen minutes, that fan would surely know that Madonna typically takes the stage well after the ticketed event time (after an opening act, set transition, and so on) and plays late into the night.”
Her attorneys had previously argued that the concert was never advertised to start at 8.30pm, adding: “Nowhere did Defendants advertise that Madonna would take the stage at 8.30 p.m., and no reasonable concertgoer – and certainly no Madonna fan – would expect the headline act at a major arena concert to take the stage at the ticketed event time.
“Rather, a reasonable concertgoer would understand that the venue’s doors will open at or before the ticketed time, one or more opening acts may perform while attendees arrive and make their way to their seats and before the headline act takes the stage, and the headline act will take the stage later in the evening.”
Lawyers had also argued against the disgruntled gig-goers’ claims that leaving the gig venue at 1am left them with “limited public transportation” options and increased costs as well as shortened amounts of sleep before they had to “get up early to go to work and/or take care of their family responsibilities the next day”.
The attorneys countered: “Plaintiffs speculate that ticketholders who left the venue after 1 am might have had trouble getting a ride home or might have needed to wake up early the next day for work. That is not a cognisable injury.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ashanti and Nelly have been married for months.
The couple rekindled their romance in 2023 after over a decade apart and in April, revealed they were engaged and expecting their first child together, but it has now emerged they actually tied the knot long before they made the announcement.
According to public records viewed by TMZ, the musicians are legally man and wife, with their marriage date recorded on 27 December, 2023, almost six months ago.
The paperwork doesn’t specify what city they got hitched in, but it was made official in St. Louis County, the birthplace of the ‘Hot in Here’ hitmaker.
It is unclear if the couple are also planning a public wedding ceremony for family and friends, but that may be what they have been teasing in recent mnths.
Meanwhile, Ashanti, 43, recently admitted she was caught off guard when 49-year-old Nelly – who already has Chanelle, 30 and 25-year-old son Cornell from his previous relationship with Rhonda Mack – popped the question.
She told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: She shared: “It was just such a beautiful, intimate moment. We were not dressy.”
Ashanti was actually wearing one of Nelly’s T-shirts and a pair of boxer shorts when he proposed.
She said: “I felt like [the proposal] was going to come soon. I didn’t know when. The way that it happened was just so funny. I’m sitting in the bed watching TV with boxers on.”
Ashanti recalled feeling “shocked and surprised” in the immediate aftermath of the proposal.
She said: “I gave him the biggest hug and kiss ever. I FaceTimed everyone I know … I was overjoyed and shocked and surprised and happy, kind of, like, all in one.”
Towards the end of last year, Nelly shared that their sudden reconciliation wasn’t “planned” but admitted that they had learned to “understand” each other better because of their split.
Speaking on ‘ Boss Moves with Rasheeda’, he said: ” It wasn’t anything that we planned. We both were pretty much doing what we do. But sometimes, being separate, you understand one another more.
“You could be like, ‘Well yo, let me exactly see maybe what they see.’ We all can be defensive sometimes in our own relationships.
“We know we wrong but we going to stand on it, you know what I mean? But we all a victim to that.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jennifer Hudson “dreamed” of spending the holidays with her siblings – all 26 of them.
The 42-year-old singer found out when she was around 16 that her dad had fathered far more children than she realised, and though she never met them all, she longed for them to all get together for a family celebration.
During an appearance on ‘Your Mama’s Kitchen: Conversations from the Heart of the Home’, host Michelle Norris said: “Your father had a big personality. And you went with your siblings and went and found him at some point and found that you had a lot more siblings?”
Jennifer replied: “Yes, a lot of us. Apparently he had 27 children.”
The ‘Dreamgirls’ star explained she hadn’t met them all but “that’s what we were always told.”
She added: “It was my dream to have all of us at this grand Thanksgiving or Christmas table, and we all sit and eat together — that was my goal at 16.”
Jennifer, along with the siblings she grew up with, Jason and Julia, were able to meet around six or seven of her brothers and sisters thanks to her father’s relatives.
She said: “We found quite a few of us. And I’m the youngest of all of them.
“When my grandma on his side passed, my siblings over there were like, ‘Y’all got a sister that can really sing, you should meet her.’
“And eventually we all came together.”
The talk show host has 14-year-old son David Jr. with ex-partner David Otunga, and thinks it is important for the teenager to grow up around his extended family.
She said: “I love to try to make sure he has the closest thing to him… just making sure he has his cousins circle and that base and foundation. That’s part of why I had moved back to Chicago, because I wanted him to have the surroundings of his family around him growing up.
“Now we’re here in LA and so we make a point to like, have our Sunday dinners. That’s one thing that’s very important.
“And then he has cousins that come in and out. One of them is here right now. And so to keep that family burning… So he has that same upbringing or going to see the loved ones I talked to.
“We have a huge family. People like the fact that y’all are this close and your family is this big. Like, all of us are still very connected.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kristen Bell created the “most brilliant card game ever imagined” when she was high.
The 43-year-old ‘Frozen’ actress – who has produced the new revival of ‘Reefer Madness: The Musical’ after starring in the original 1999 production – has opened up on her own experiences with cannabis, and recalled an “enlightenment moment” when she came up with an innovative new game.
She told Deadline: “When I discovered reefer, I remember getting stoned in my college dorm room one night, and after my friends left, I was shuffling a deck of cards and I had an enlightenment moment, and I made up the most brilliant card game ever imagined.
“Better than Spades, better than Hearts, anything. I put different marker numbers and shapes on all the cards and I wrote down the rules.”
However, when she woke up the next day she realised everything she’d jotted down was “absolute nonsense”, and she has never been able to remember the rules.
She added: “I went to bed. The next morning I said, ‘Oh my God, didn’t I do something with these cards last night?’
“And it was absolute nonsense. But the night before, nothing had ever made more sense to me.
“So, the world just won’t get to experience this brilliant card game because I can’t interpret it.
“It’s been too long and I’m probably not going to smoke anytime soon. But I remember feeling very enlightened.”
Indeed, Kristen – who has daughters Lincoln, 11, and Delta, nine, with husband Dax Shepard – admitted while she “smoked a lot of reefer in college” because of her sensitivity to alcohol, she has continued to limit her intake since becoming a mother.
She said: “To be honest, I have not partaken in cannabis minus maybe a gummy or two in the last 15 years.
“But that’s because I spend every night with my children, and we’re high on cartoons.
“But I smoked a lot of reefer in college. I can’t and don’t drink, it gives me too much of a hangover.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kourtney Kardashian needed emergency fetal surgery because her baby had “fluid in his lungs”.
The 45-year-old reality star – who welcomed their son Rocky into the world seven months ago – has opened up on the “super rare” health struggles her baby was going through during her pregnancy at the time of the procedure in September last year.
Speaking on this week’s episode of ‘The Kardashians’, she said: “We had a terrifying scare.
“It’s super rare — the condition that he had — but it’s also super rare and lucky that we caught it. Thank you, God, for a successful surgery.
“I’m honestly just so grateful, I have no words.”
The operation was a success, but Kourtney was “filled with fear” in the aftermath, and even more so when the symptoms returned.
She recalled: “The fluid in his lungs actually did start coming back.
“Then I watched this documentary called ‘Heal’ that was all about the power of positive thinking and how our thinking can really affect our health.”
Kourtney’s outlooked changed as she decided to remain positive for the future.
She explained: “I started talking to the baby every day, saying my prayers.
“After I had that mindset shift, the fluid was completely gone and we had not one single problem after.”
However, her husband Travis was still concerned right up until Rocky was born, and he wanted everything to be “perfect”.
During the episode, he told Kourtney on their way to hospital: “I don’t want him to come out early. I want to make sure his lungs are perfect – everything’s perfect.”
Thankfully, their baby boy was born on November 1, and the mother has been overjoyed with life as a parent.
She said: “It’s everything I’ve ever dreamed of. Everything we’ve been through to get to this moment, it just feels so surreal…
“I’m so happy in my blissful baby bubble and the love with Rocky.”
