People I know who know them like them. Dad and mom are really nice and I’ve heard totally not on board with all the lgbt stuff.

I always found it fascinating that her brother Drew named his baby THE MOST reformed, conservative old-dead-white-guys Christian theologian names - Calvin Augustine right after her big bomb drop. that had to have annoyed the hell out of her.

No, just Jen hasn’t posted anything new in the last week or so. There’s been other times the thread has slowed or even not had posts for a few months. I’m fairly positive Jen will always eventually give us a new topic.

Not dissing Walmart- they’ve got it going on right now. Lol

Jen is a pretty gal. But not all pretty gals have to pose and act precious, right? It’s cringe when it’s constant. Lol


Jen is the cute King sister though, so she's used to that attention as well.

This is so spot on. Low drama. Chill. Can you imagine how refreshing that is? Plus she's georgeous. Good for him.


Anyone know how old Texas Barbie is? She looks young.


Someone actually commented that she was too young on one of Brandon’s Instagram pics, and she replied that her and Brandon are actually the same age.


She has an adult son. So at least 40, but Brandon's what 45? I can see that as well.

I listened to her most recent podcast with Kelly C. about change as I was stuck in traffic.

It’s the same exact stuff she’s covered a million times over the past year or so in a hundred different forums. How she was a child bride, who she was blindsided by divorce, how she had to learn to adult as a 45 year old, how patenting you doing adults is hard.
Nothing new, all retread.

I’ve seen her in person and while she looks youthful and obvs takes care of herself, she doesn’t look young (not in a rude way).

i just told my daughter about an hour ago that she and her friends are all brainwashed to spend too much on everything and buy expensive things that they don't need. i try to encourage her to stay away from all that, but it doesn't work very well.


Lululemon, we are looking at you!


SSSHHHHH…the last thing we need is a Hatmaker/Lulu collab.


Oh yeah, Jen the fitness guru. No worries there. 🤣😂
