Single dad struggles to raise triplets, one day finds out they’re not his

A man named Joe McCarthy met who he thought was the love of his life at an expo in Paris. He and Ariana soon fell in love and dreamed of starting a family together.

One day, she told him she was pregnant. Joe was excited and surprised at the same time. The two did want to have children but they always spoke of having them after they get married.

Joe knew both he and Ariana took all the precautions to avoid an unexpected pregnancy, but she assured him that despite that, things like that happened.

The two tied the knot at an intimate ceremony and everything seemed perfect, but then, Ariana’s behavior changed. She would spend most of her time on her phone and wouldn’t let Joe access her email. But he was way too excited at the prospect of becoming a father so he let his wife’s behavior slide through his fingers.

Then, a day at the hospital changed this man’s life forever. During a scan, it was revealed Ariana was carrying triplets, and as Joe was over the moon, she was devastated by the thought of having three babies.

“What? Triplets? I cannot afford to give birth to three babies and ruin my beauty!” she shrieked after hearing the news.

“But baby, those are our babies. You cannot talk so badly about them. What is the connection between having babies and your beauty? I don’t understand,” Joe asked.

“What is the connection? Joe, I will start looking old, and nobody will be interested in looking at me!” Ariana yelled.

“Looking at you? Wait…what do you mean by that? Who else do you want to appreciate your beauty other than me, your husband?” Joe asked. At this point, Ariana uttered the unthinkable and unlocked another heartbreak for Joe.

“I married you to live a wealthy life. I thought we were not just architects building others’ dreams but also a rich couple who could build theirs as well. But your earnings are not enough to even go on a cruise!” she fumed. “And with these three extra burdens coming into the world, I doubt if you would give me all the luxuries I want!”

This broke Joe’s heart into a million pieces. Once the babies were welcomed into the world, three healthy girls, Joe got full custody and Ariana left the family for good. Or at least Joe thought so.

Raising three children was way harder than this father could ever imagine, but he never gave up trying.

He provided a great life for his girls, but then, one day, things were about to change.

Out of the blue, Ariana appeared on Joe’s doorstep.

“YOU??? What are you doing here?” He gasped in shock. “YOU??? What are you doing here?” He gasped in shock.

Ariana then pushed her way into the house and started yelling, “Girls! Mom is home! Don’t you want to see your mommy?”

Luckily, the girls weren’t home.

Joe asked her to get out of the house, reminding her that the girls only had one parent, him.

Hearing that, Ariana said something shocking. “Oh really? Who said you’re their DAD? I had two other boyfriends while dating you. And I got really “intimate” with one of them on tour. These girls must be his… I’m sure they aren’t yours because you were away on a month-long expo to Egypt.”

Joe collapsed. His world turned upside down. He didn’t want to face the reality and asked for proof.

Some two weeks later, Ariana got the results of the DNA test she requested. Sadly, the girls weren’t Joe’s.

The following day, she asked to take the girls with her. “Send my girls with me. I need to sue that rich scoundrel for alimony, and I can only do it if I have my children with me,” she said.

Joe now knew he wasn’t the father, but that didn’t change the fact that he raised them and loved them unconditionally. So, instead of giving up, he decided to fight Ariana at court, something that shocked her.

Ariana had DNA results, but Joe had the documents she had signed six years ago, handing over the legal custody of the children to him. She had also signed off her rights on them to Joe.

At that point, her case didn’t stand a chance. She lost the legal battle and the girls stayed with Joe.

As he walked out the court with his girls, they asked him, “Dad, who is she? Why is she talking to you?”

Joe answered, “She’s a stranger. We don’t talk to strangers anymore! Come, let’s go home. Dad is having two weeks off, and shall we go on that cruise we had planned?!”

13 years ago, quintuplets were born into the Artamkin family: this is what the teenage sisters look like now

What every expectant mother hopes and prays for is for her child to be born healthy. The process of giving birth can be a scary one, but once the bundle of joy is in the safest arms there are, those of their mother, everything falls into place.

A couple from Moscow, Russia, Varvara and Dmitry, received the news that changed their lives when they learned they were expecting five babies.

The pregnancy seemed to be a normal one, but still, doctors advised the couple to terminate the development of two of the babies for the safety of the mother. Varvara, however, didn’t like the idea and was determined to carry all of her five babies.

When she reached the 27th week of pregnancy, Varvara welcomed her quintuplets into the world. Because they were all very tiny, they spent some time at the hospital and were eventually sent home.

The family was given a fully equipped four-room condo by the local government.

Today, the girls are 13 years old, but their age and their parents seem to be all they have in common. All five of them are pretty different when it comes to their physical appearance as well as their personalities.

The girls attend church since childhood and help their mom and dad around the house.

We wish this beautiful family the best life can bring.

King Charles called William and Kate “tasteless” after embarrassing picture on their first royal tour as a couple

The new Prince and Princess of Wales, William and Kate, represent one of the most influential couples in the world. Kate is a much loved member of the Royal Family and her love story with William dates way back to the time they were both students at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.

Speaking of the time the two met for the first time through mutual friends, Kate recalled: “I actually went bright red when I met you and scuttled off feeling very shy about meeting you.

“William wasn’t there for quite a bit of the time initially, he wasn’t there from Fresher’s Week, so it did take a bit of time for us to get to know each other.”

At the beginning, the two were just good friends, but one specific outfit changed it all.

Namely, Kate was a part of a fashion show and wore a $40 dress. They way she looked during that occasion, which turned serendipitous, caught William’s eye.

“A switch had been flicked, he suddenly saw her in a different light, and I really believe that was the turning point in their relationship,” Katie Nicholl, Vanity Fair’s royal correspondent, said in the documentary The Day Will and Kate Got Married.

Their love was deep and they got the entire attention from the media. Kate even made a public appearance with the Royals and attended the Sovereign’s Parade at the Royal Military Academy, in which William attended, along with her family.

And as everyone believed a royal marriage was just around the corner, the two split in 2007.

Recalling the time of their break up, both Kate and William claimed it was actually good for them because they got to “find themselves.” Kate even said that “you can get quite consumed by a relationship when you’re younger,” as per The Telegraph.

The two got back together in 2008 and William proposed to Kate in 2010 during a trip to Kenya with his late mother’s engagement ring.

Before the couple announced their engagement, Kate was nicknamed “Waity Katie” and “Lazy Katie.” According to Buckingham Palace officials, it was a reference to the fact that Middleton had recently quit her job to “prepare for her future life.”

Fast forward to today, the couple has been married for 11 years and they share three children together.

Over the years the new Prince and Princess of Wales have served the country to the best of their abilities. They are adored by millions for their dedication and hard work, but at the very beginning, when the two undertook their first royal tour together, they did something that frustrated then-Prince Charles.

The couple went on 10-day visit to the US and Canada, but the behavior they adopted while there was perceived as too laid-back back in Britain.

William and Kate posed for a set of photos that left Charles “more than a little irked.”

In her book, Prince Charles: The Passions and Paradoxes of an Improbable Life, royal author Sally Bedell Smith wrote that Charles thought William and Kate’s trip to the US and Canada had too many “tasteless” photo opportunities and were too much of a “camera-friendly couple,” treating the trip as a holiday rather than work.

One particular photo Charles was allegedly not fond of is the one in which the then-newlyweds wore cowboy hats.

Many believed that this trip was the trigger of the rivalry people felt rose between William and his father Charles.

“When Charles and Camilla visited ­Canada two years ago they were greeted by relatively small crowds. They are in their Sixties and are not what you would call glamorous,” royal author Phil Dampier told The Mirror.

“Charles felt overshadowed by Diana and now it seems he feels overshadowed by their son. Some people may think he is jealous. I have always felt that as soon as William got married, Charles would feel sidelined.”

Kate and William step away from royal duties after tense time

With Queen Elizabeth’s passing, not only Charles became King of England, but the heir apparent and his wife received new titles too. Long known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, William and Kate are now Prince and Princess of Wales, and with their new titles came bigger responsibilities.

The couple and their three children recently moved from Kensington Palace to Adelaide Cottage, located just 10 minutes from Windsor Castle. Despite the move, Kensington Palace remains their official residence and workspace, and will continue to house their staff. As they settled in their new home, William and Kate are reported to have stepped away from their royal duties for a while and have taken a well-deserved break.

Becoming a princess means Kate will step up during international tours, where she is expected to partake in more royal engagements and walkabouts.

“Kate has taken on her most senior role to date,” royal expert Emily Nash told Hello.

“She’ll continue to champion mental health and the importance of the Early Years as she has done for a long time, and she’ll continue to represent the monarchy and the UK on overseas visits.” 

These new roles, along with the rest of the changes that followed since the Queen died, resulted in a stressful period for the entire family.

Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis have all started school. They now attend Lambrook School in Windsor, the school two of Queen Victoria’s grandsons, Prince Christian Victor and Prince Albert of Schleswig-Holstein, attended.

“We are delighted that Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis will be joining us this coming September and very much look forward to welcoming the family, as we all as all of our new pupils, to our school community,” Jonathan Perry, headmaster at Lambrook, said.

The children had a hard time accepting that their loving great-grandmother would no longer be part of their lives. She celebrated her Platinum Jubilee earlier this year, a joyful event that marked the incredible 70 years of her reign, and now they were told that the Queen passed away.

Kate and William insisted they deliver the sad news to their children before the world learned of Queen Elizabeth’s passing. George and Charlotte attended the funeral, but the Prince and Princess of Wales believed Louis was too young to able to stand still during the lengthy ceremony.

During their October half-term break, which ends on October 31, the children are home and William and Kate have the opportunity to spend some quality time as a family with them.

“They [Kate and Wills] love that the kids can go out on their bikes and cycle around the estate, and they are all really excited to meet everyone. It’s a real little community,” a source told People.

Another friend of the Prince and Princess of Wales described them as a “modern royal family doing normal things.”

 On the Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast, Kate revealed back in 2020 that she was happiest when: “I’m with my family outside in the countryside and we’re all filthy dirty.”

“Someone did ask me the other day, what would you want your children to remember about their childhood?” Kate said. “And I thought that was a really good question, because actually if you really think about that, is it that I’m sitting down trying to do their maths and spelling homework over the weekend?”

The Princess added, “Or is it the fact that we’ve gone out and lit a bonfire and sat around trying to cook sausages that hasn’t worked because it’s too wet?”

We hope that once the tense period is behind, the new Prince and Princess of Wales would return to their royal duties and will serve the country as they have until this very day.

He is still alive despite reports, but his health is not doing well

Reports claiming Jerry Lewis had died in his Memphis home earlier today are false.

The news of Lewis’ passing was first reported by TMZ. The outlet later claimed it was someone claiming to be Lewis’ representative who had incorrectly informed them Lewis had passed.

“Jerry Lee Lewis is not dead … as we previously reported,” TMZ began their statement. “We’re told the rock ‘n’ roll legend is alive, living in Memphis.

“Earlier today we were told by someone claiming to be Lewis’s rep that he had passed. That turned out not to be the case,” adding they regret the error.

Jerry Lee Lewis is a singer, songwriter, and pianist. He was born on September 29, 1935.

Best known for his hit song Great Balls of Fire, associated with the Top Gun franchise, Lewis is considered the pioneer of rock’n’roll music. Nicknamed “The Killer,” Lewis’s career in music began in the 1950s and both Rolling Stone Mick Jagger and Beatle Paul McCartney have named him as their inspiration.

He was also someone Elvis Presley admired. It was reported that the “King of Rock and Roll” once said that if he could play the piano like Lewis, he would stop singing.

Shutterstock

Despite his enormous fame, Lewis’ career faltered in the wake of his marriage to Myra Gale Brown, his 13-year-old cousin. If Brown’s young age wasn’t reason enough for his fans to be shocked and disappointed, at the time he married her, he was still legally married to his previous wife.

In 1970, 12 years into the union, Brown filed for divorce, citing that she had been “subject to every type of physical and mental abuse imaginable.”

Over the years, the singer has been married seven times, with him first tying the knot at the age of just 16. This marriage, to the local preacher’s daughter, Dorothy Barton, lasted 20 months.

Today, Lewis is still married to his seventh wife, Judith Lewis.

After years of conquering music stages, last week, Lewis was finally inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Sadly, he missed the ceremony due to health issues and Kris Kristofferson accepted the award on his behalf. It was reported that Lewis had the flu.

His health hasn’t been best in recent years. Back in 2019, he suffered a stroke but was able to fully recover.

Lewis wrote a letter to his fans, explaining the situation, he wrote, “It is with heartfelt sadness and disappointment that I write to you today from my sick bed, rather than be able to share my thoughts in person. I tried everything I could to build up the strength to come today.”

Despite his fragile health, we hope Lewis would be able to recover soon.

Elderly woman walked into the beauty salon looking for a makeup

There comes a time in our life when we dedicate all our strength to make those around us happy and forget about ourselves. And then, something that turns our world upside-down happens and we realize we’ve been neglecting the most important person in our life – ourselves – for so long. 

And then, we feel the urge to experience certain change. Whether it’s a new hair color, or getting rid of the old skirts, we know we have to fight the dullness that has somehow become part of our everyday life.

An elderly woman who is sharing her beautiful story felt this urge and decided to walk inside a beauty salon.

“I know that I am not the most beautiful and that I do not look good at all. I don’t want to eat you for a long time, I just want a simple make-up, to remind me of my youth. It will be a little relief for me,” she told the staff at the place.

Realizing she was longing for a change in her appearance, the girls working at the salon decided they needed to make the woman’s wish true so they got their hands busy and provided various face and hair treatments before they dyed her hair and put makeup on her face.

When she saw herself in the mirror, the woman couldn’t believe her eyes. Her transformation, which swept away 10 years off her face, was jaw-dropping.

Judging from the photos, she now seems way happier and way more satisfied with herself.

While sitting on a bench, they noticed a strange little creature completely covered in fur

Going out in nature with young children is always a good idea, but the truth is that parents need to be very cautious of insects, such as ticks, that can easily hurt the little ones.

Leslie Howe, a mother of three, took her children to the Gwinnett County Park. It was a sunny day and going out seemed like a great idea. The kids had lots of fun. As they were running around, they noticed a strange little creature. It was unlike anything they had seen until then. Curious to learn more about the furry insect, they approached closer. However, as they were getting ready to inspect it and touch it, Leslie yelled at them not to do it.

Little did she know that she saved them from an ordeal.

The furry creature happened to be a pus caterpillar, one of the most venomous caterpillars in the U.S. If they touch it, people experience excruciating pain. There are reports of individuals who got into contact with it when they felt the urge to pet it, and others said it simply fell on them from a tree.

According to National Geographic, “the outer comb-over of the puss caterpillars hides small, extremely toxic spines that stick in your skin.”

Some of the symptoms people who have touched this insect experienced are severe nausea and excessive sweating.

Next time you are at the park, make sure you stay out of the way of this tiny insect if you stumble upon it.

Passenger refused to move her bag on the subway, so a stranger taught her a lesson

A woman on a NJT Transit North East Corridor train caused a 25 minute delay because she refused to move her bag from the adjacent seat. As many of the passengers struggled to find a seat on the crowded train, the femspreading passenger made them angry. Many tried to confront her because of her behavior, but she wouldn’t listen.

“If you remove her, we would have an additional seat to spare,” one of the passengers from the back of the train could be heard yelling.

With her earphones on, she acted like she’s too classy for public transportation while using it and held to the belief that the seat next to her was her personal space.

Everyone who has seen the video of this woman’s rude behavior has condemned it big way. One person wrote, “She clearly knows she’s doing something wrong after the first few warnings but she decides to keep her purse there out of pure pride and stubborness. She’s embarrassed and wants to stand her ground. I hate these kinds of people.”

There was also an officer on board. As everyone forced him to do something about the entitled passenger, his patience started running out and he eventually moved her out.

Assuming there are no seats available because everyone has put their bag on a seat would lead to a total chaos, especially during rush hour.

You can take a look at the video of the femspreading passenger below. Make sure you tell us what you think and don’t forget to SHARE it with your family and friends on Facebook.
