Jana Kramer is standing firm in her beliefs about vaccinating her children.

“I listened to a podcast episode about giving the baby a vax — what did you end up doing?” a fan asked Kramer, 42, in an Instagram Stories Q&A on Thursday, December 4.

Kramer responded, “The update I will give is we changed doctors’ offices to where it’s our choice and can ask as many questions and have the choice to do or not to do and not the … ‘if you don’t, then you’re not allowed to be in this office’ approach.”

Back in February, Kramer claimed on her “Whine Down” podcast that during a visit to her former doctor’s office, she “essentially got blamed” for her son having an ear infection because she had been “behind” on his vaccinations.

“I didn’t like how that felt. I got turned off by that comment, and so it didn’t make me want to go back to that office, because I’m like, ‘You just blamed me for my child having an ear infection.’ So like, I didn’t like that. I don’t even know why I’m crying, but like, it just made me feel like a bad mom or something,” she admitted.

Kramer shares daughter Jolie, 9, and son Jace, 7, with ex-husband Mike Caussin, as well as son Roman, 2, with husband Allan Russell.

The One Tree Hill alum added that she felt “overwhelmed” knowing that Roman “needs so many vaccinations,” but she also wasn’t sure if she trusted vaccinations yet.

Kramer previously discussed vaccinations during a 2020 episode of her podcast, featuring special guests Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an anti-vaccine activist and the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services as of 2025, and Dr. Abe Malkin, M.D., who is board-certified in family medicine and addiction medicine.

Kramer also spoke to Dr. Mehmet Oz, who has taken both a pro- and anti-vaccine stance, during another podcast episode in 2020. The pair discussed the widely disputed theory that vaccinations cause autism.

“To vaccinate or not to vaccinate. It’s been something that has quite frankly kept me up at night,” Kramer wrote via Instagram at the time. “If I’m being super honest, I’ve done the most amount of research since I’ve had Jace, since I’ve always heard about autism and boys with the [measles, mumps and rubella vaccine]. The more research I’ve done, I’ve questioned myself and thought, ‘Omg, am I the reason Jolie had a speech delay because of her vaccines?’”

The “Whiskey” singer continued, “As you can see, I don’t know the answers, and I have just prayed that I am doin the right thing but I sure wish there was a definite answer one way or another because for every article I see it gets debunked by the other. Quite frankly it’s exhausting.”

Kramer added that “another issue is the fact that people can be so mean” no matter which side of the debate one chooses to be on.

“So please, in the comments, don’t hate on me for vaccinating, don’t hate on others who have different opinions. Please offer your knowledge, but don’t be mean if someone doesn’t agree. Can we just agree to disagree kindly and have healthy conversations?” she concluded.

Irish influencer Niamh Cullen’s husband, Jamie Gill, died weeks after their first wedding anniversary.

“The unimaginable has happened. Our worst nightmare. My beautiful husband has been taken from us,” Cullen wrote via Instagram in November 2025, announcing Gill’s death at age 33. “[He was] the light of my life. I was the luckiest to be loved and adored by you Jamie. I love you endlessly, not just now, but eternally.”

Cullen married Gill, who maintained a relatively private profile, exactly one year earlier.

“6 months married (last week) we only realized today,” Cullen captioned a set of Instagram selfies in May 2025. “In sickness and in health JJ, I love you forever. You’re my inspiration everyday.”

2017

The social media star revealed via Instagram that they met at Bingo Loco, a local bingo hall.

“8 years ago today. I’m so happy you picked up my card at Bingo Loco and changed your plans to come with us to Metropolis Festival,” Cullen wrote via Instagram in October 2025, celebrating their dating anniversary. “I still remember that warm, fuzzy, excited feeling like it was yesterday ✨. So grateful for everything that’s followed since, hopeful for better days and more memories to be made.”

At the time, Cullen was still living with her ex-boyfriend and asked to remain friends with Gill. Their bond turned romantic the next year.

July 2021

During an appearance on the “Good Glow” podcast, Cullen revealed that she and Gill had recently moved in together.

“I’m feeling super good. I’m in a really good place, [and] I’m living with my boyfriend, Jamie,” she said. “We’re excited.”

The “Unveiled” podcaster further gushed that Gill was a complete “gentleman” when they met.

Gill popped the question after several years of dating.

“And it went a little like this,” Cullen wrote via Instagram, sharing a snap of her diamond engagement ring.

November 2024

“I simply have no words,” she wrote via Instagram, sharing pics from their destination wedding. “Our wedding day 🕊️. Just the beginning of the [photo] spam.”

When Cullen and Gill embarked on their honeymoon to Italy, he subsequently got sick and was hospitalized for 10 days.

“Just two weeks before Christmas, Jamie underwent major surgery, where doctors discovered a cancerous tumor,” Cullen wrote via Instagram the next year. “Our world shattered in an instant, but we stayed strong. Jamie bravely faced 10 rounds of chemotherapy. There were ups and downs along the way, but nothing could have prepared us for what followed after his 10th session.”

The couple got legally married in Dublin in December.

Cullen took a social media hiatus amid Gill’s health struggles.

“Life has been interesting enough. We’ve had some stuff going on at home. I know we will share in time, but at the moment, it’s not my story alone to share,” she told VIP Magazine. “My husband has just been having some struggles with his health. We’re just taking it day by day. I’m trying to be busy but also spend time at home with Jamie.”

Later that month, Cullen shared throwback pictures of the couple from a Kylie Minogue concert the year before.

“This time last year [we were] going to see Kylie, Jamie still talks about it. After that, celebrating our first night in the house, we didn’t have a clue what was ahead,” Cullen wrote via Instagram. “But this makes me excited and hopeful that better days are coming. Life is short. Always make sure you are having a big ball. It’s something we always did together and will continue to do it soon.”

Fall 2025

Gill was hospitalized with pneumonia and sepsis, leading doctors to confirm that his cancer had returned.

“My blood still runs cold, but I know this: My husband is a fighter,” Cullen wrote via Instagram on November 14. “We will not give up.”

November 2025

Cullen marked her first wedding anniversary via Instagram amid Gill’s cancer recurrence.

“I can’t believe it’s already our one year wedding anniversary. I was too emotional over the weekend to even look through our photos or think about posting,” she wrote via Instagram on November 10. “Happy anniversary to my amazing, brave, and resilient husband ❤️‍🩹 You make my world a better place.”

Nineteen days later, Cullen confirmed that Gill died at age 33.

Tatiana Schlossberg Reveals How Her Siblings Supported Cancer Treatment

Posted on by admin

Airtel Malawi

As Tatiana Schlossberg underwent stem cell treatment for her terminal cancer battle, her siblings leapt into action to help.

“My sister had turned out to be a match and would donate her stem cells,” Tatiana, 35, wrote in a New Yorker essay published Saturday, November 22, referring to older sister Rose Schlossberg. “My brother [Jack Schlossberg] was a half-match, but he still asked every doctor if maybe a half-match was better, just in case.”

Capital One

The Schlossberg siblings are the three children of Caroline Kennedy — the daughter of the late John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy Onaissis — and Edwin Schlossberg.

Tatiana discovered that she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in 2024 shortly after giving birth to her second child. (Tatiana and husband George Moran welcomed a son in 2022 and a daughter in 2024.)

Caroline Kennedy’s Daughter Tatiana, 35, Diagnosed With Terminal Cancer

After consulting her physicians, Tatiana learned that she had a rare mutation in her blood cells and was subsequently given a year to live.

“I could not be cured by a standard course of treatment. I would need a few months, at least, of chemotherapy, which would aim to reduce the number of blast cells in my bone marrow,” she explained in her “A Battle With My Blood” essay for The New Yorker. “Then, I would need a bone-marrow transplant, which could cure me. After the transplant, I would probably need more chemotherapy, on a regular basis, to try to prevent the cancer from returning.”

Tatiana also underwent a couple of clinical trials, in addition to the stem cell treatment using Rose’s donation.

“My sister held her arms straight for hours as the doctors drained blood from one, scooped out and froze her stem cells, and pumped the blood back in the other,” Tatiana recalled of Rose’s procedure. “The cells smelled like canned tomato soup. When the transfusion began, I sneezed twelve times and threw up.”

She added, “Then I waited — for my blood counts to recover, for my sister’s cells to heal and change my body. We wondered if I would get her banana allergy or her personality. My hair started to fall out and I wore scarves to cover my head, remembering, vainly, each time I tied one on, how great my hair used to be.”

While Tatiana was hospitalized, with Moran by her side, her other relatives helped babysit their children.

“My parents and my brother and sister, too, have been raising my children and sitting in my various hospital rooms almost every day for the last year and a half,” Tatiana wrote. “They have held my hand unflinchingly while I have suffered, trying not to show their pain and sadness in order to protect me from it. This has been a great gift, even though I feel their pain every day.”

She continued, “Now I have added a new tragedy to her life, to our family’s life, and there’s nothing I can do to stop it.”

After Tatiana’s essay was published, her family has been in her corner. Jack, 32, even reposted links to the article via his Instagram, while cousin Maria Shriver also offered her support.

“Tatiana is a beautiful writer, journalist, wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend. This piece is about what she has been going through for the last year and a half,” Shriver, 70, wrote via her Instagram, specifically responding to the New Yorker story. “It’s an ode to all the doctors and nurses who toil on the frontlines of humanity. It’s so many things, but best to read it yourself, and be blown away by one woman’s life story. And let it be a reminder to be grateful for the life you are living today, right now, this very minute.”

What Happened to Elaine Hendrix? Inside Her Car Accident and ‘DWTS’ Injury

Posted on by admin

Airtel Malawi

Elaine Hendrix has been acting since the ‘90s — but it wasn’t always her main career path. When the actress was injured in a 1992 car accident, her dance career came to a halt and she was forced to change course.

“I believe that everything happens for a reason and it pushed me in this direction that completely worked out, thankfully,” Hendrix said with a laugh during a July 2016 interview with the Huffington Post, reflecting on why she chose to jump into acting headfirst.

American Expressi

It’s been more than three decades since Hendrix was hit by a car riding her bike, but her accident still haunts her. In fact, during season 34 of Dancing With the Stars, Hendrix revealed that the aftermath of the crash makes it harder to compete.

While pushing past her physical limits on the ABC competition series, Hendrix was hospitalized for an unrelated injury in October, causing fans to worry. However, Hendrix was given the green light to continue on her DWTS journey beginning with the Tuesday, November 4, episode.

“I had just come to Los Angeles to begin my professional career and very soon after moving here I was riding my bike and got hit by a car,” Hendrix told the Huffington Post in July 2016, noting that one moment “changed everything for me.”

During her September DWTS opening package, Hendrix revealed she is “really lucky” that she “walked away” from the accident but didn’t expand further.

How Did Her Career Change After the Accident?

The Parent Trap star told the Huffington Post in July 2016 that she began her career as a “classically trained dancer in modern and contemporary jazz.” Following her accident, Hendrix said, “Dance became something that was very painful to do, so it just pushed me more in the direction of acting.”

Hendrix recalled booking a few guest starring roles before landing her first series. “That’s when I stopped dancing professionally but I never stopped dancing altogether,” she told the outlet. “It’s just that whenever I dance I need to be prepared for the fact that I will be really sore and can’t quite do the things I used to do, but that’s OK.”

How Has Elaine’s Accident Affected Her ‘DWTS’ Run?

Hendrix revealed during an October episode of Dancing With the Stars that following her ‘90s car accident, a titanium joint was placed in her right foot. She said during Wicked Night that the joint “renders half my foot unusable.”

“Every week, my body shifts into a new pain spot, but I just don’t want to let it stop me,” the actress explained during the show package. “I know my determination is going to win it, just getting there is quite a journey.”

Why Was Elaine Hospitalized on ‘DWTS’ Season 34?

During rehearsals for Halloween Week in October, Hendrix was rushed to the hospital after experiencing pain in her ribs. The contestant later revealed via her Instagram that she injured her ribs during her “Defying Gravity” performance one week prior and they “just seized up” during practice.

“I couldn’t move. They brought me to the hospital,” Hendrix said in the Tuesday, October 28, video. “The doctor has said that with a day or two of rest, I should be able to continue and that’s exactly what I want to do. I want to dance, I want to keep doing this.”

Hendrix’s dance partner, Alan Bersten, explained during the October 28 episode that while they were working on their Argentine tango, “Elaine kind of froze and said she can’t move and she can’t breathe, and something happened with her rib.”

He noted she was in “so much pain” and therefore he had no idea if they would dance that evening. The pair did not perform and were instead judged on their practice routine.

Will Elaine Be Back on ‘DWTS’?

Despite missing Halloween Night, Hendrix and Bersten scored 8s across the board from the judges on October 28. With fans’ votes, they were saved from elimination. Hendrix’s doctors, meanwhile, cleared her to continue on in the competition.

“You guys voted, we are going to be safe. We got another dance to [perform],” Bersten confirmed during a TikTok Live following the episode. “We’re going to take it easy but we will be back for the show. We will take this week easy.”
