Soon-to-Be Celebrity Baby? Blac Chyna Jokes with Rob Kardashian About Having a Baby
By Brooke Crawford
According to UsMagazine.com, Black Chyna recently informed boyfriend Rob Kardashian about her future goals of marriage and kids. This celebrity baby news announcement may be too soon for this recently formed celebrity couple of two months. Sources say that Kardashian is a whole new person since beginning a celebrity relationship with the 27 year old mother of son King Cairo. There could be another celebrity baby in Hollywood down the road. What are some ways to decide if you and your partner are ready to have a child?
Cupid’s Advice:
A baby is something to take seriously as it changes the dynamic of your relationship with your partner. See below for Cupid’s relationship advice:
1. Perfect is unrealistic: When you decide to have kids, the things you are normally accustomed to doing are no longer realistic. A spotless house or having it all together come secondary to your new responsibilities as a mother. Make sure that you are ready for a full time commitment to any child you decide to have.

2. Emotional wreck: You and your partner need to be in a healthy emotional state. A baby can be emotionally and psychologically straining on a relationship. Parenting has a tendency to intensify whatever problems may be already present. Be sure to check in with a professional to ensure you and your partner are emotionally ready to handle parenthood.

3. Having a home: Children need to feel safe and loved during their developmental stages. This sense of stability comes from having a stable place to grow up in. If you and your partner are not able to provide a home for your child, then maybe it is a good idea to hold off on the baby plans until you are more stable.
A child is a huge commitment to not only the baby, but also your relationship. How did you know your relationship is ready for a child? Comment below.

His girlfriend then posted a quote hinting at a breakup between the two that read, “When you just get out of a relationship & your hoe friend welcomes you back into the World of Hoe.” A source confirmed that the two did split, but it probably won’t be for long and that they were just moving too fast.

Celebrity News: Kylie Jenner & Kourtney Kardashian Hang with Rob’s Ex
By Jessica DeRubbo
Apparently there are no hard feelings in the mix with this scenario! According to UsMagazine.com, Kylie Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian were recently spotted hanging with Rob Kardashian’s ex girlfriend, Adrienne Bailon. This celebrity news comes on the heals of Kylie’s Instagram post picturing the three girls, with the caption, “Cause we are sistersss.” Celebrity exes Rob Kardashian and Bailon dated for two years, from 2007 to 2009, when their celebrity relationship ended. In a 2010 episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Kardashian admitted he was unfaithful to Bailon. Apparently Bailon doesn’t have hold that against Rob’s two sisters! This celebrity news comes amidst a lot of Rob Kardashian happenings lately. How do you know whether you can be friends with your family member’s ex or not?
Cupid’s Advice:
It’s a dicey situation when it comes to your family and their exes. If you’re on the fence about whether it’s okay for you to keep a connection with your family member’s ex, Cupid has some tips:
1. Time since the split: If it’s been a long time since the break-up occurred, your family member has probably had plenty of a chance to cope. The best way to find out if that coping period is over is to simply ask. You probably know your family member well enough to detect if there’s any hesitation in his or her answer whatsoever. If they seem okay about it, then go for it.

2. The reason for the break-up: If the reason for the break-up is that the relationship simply ran its course and it was a mutual parting, you’re probably more okay keeping contact with your family member’s ex than if something horrific happened at the end of the relationship, like a cheating scandal. Definitely consider the facts before making a decision.

3. How “over it” your family member is: It’s not necessarily all about time. Your family member may have good reason to be completely and utterly over the relationship he or she was in. It may have only been a month, but your brother or sister has already moved on to greener pastures. If they’re over it, they shouldn’t have an issue with you continuing to remain friends with their ex.
What are some other things to consider when you’re trying to determine whether to stay friends with your family member’s ex? Share your thoughts below.
Celebrity Couple Predictions: Rob Kardashian, Miley Cyrus and Keisha Knight Pulliam By Shoshi
Join me as I look into the crystal ball of relationships and love. Below, I predict the future of three newcelebrity couples.
Shoshi’s Predictions for these Celebrity Couples
Robert Kardashian and Blac Chyna: It’s always amazing when two people who are a hot mess get together in the name of love. Then again, can we really call Rob and Blac Chyna a celebrity couple? If memory serves me correctly, a few months ago, Blac Chyna was in love with the rapper Future. Her love was so deep, she had his name tattooed on her hand. Now with the celebrity news that Blac Chyna and Kardashian might be together? There’s something about this relationship that makes me give it a side eye. I just don’t see this as the real deal. It appears to be all for show. Blac Chyna is desperate for attention and this is the best way for her to get it. It’s a shame that Kardashian has seemed to just let himself go. He just doesn’t care about anything at all. Kardashian needs love and affection from somewhere since his family does not seem to be giving him any at all. Looks like Blac Chyna is the only one filling the void. This relationship will be just as dysfunctional as all of the Kardashian relationships. It will run its course, because Blac Chyna’s heart has the attention span of a high school student.

Miley Ray Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth: It’s now safe to say that Cyrus and Hemsworth have quietly gotten back together. Cyrus has put her engagement ring back on. Wouldn’t you? Don’t look for an invitation to this celebrity wedding just yet. They have a habit of breaking up and getting back together. My crystal ball says they are on a trial basis. Basically, giving it another go round to see if they can make their relationship work. Hemsworth probably did cheat on Cyrus the last time they were together. When someone cheats it’s a sign that something is wrong in a relationship. It looks like both parties are acknowledging their part in the breakup. If they can repair what was broken, there’s an opportunity for them to be one of the hottest couples in Hollywood. We just may see a much tamer Miley Ray. Time for her to keep that tongue in her mouth. One of two things will happen, either they will get married or they will end their relationship for good this time.

Keisha Knight Pulliam and Ed Hartwell: Keisha Knight Pulliam best known as Rudy on The Cosby Show announced that she was engaged in December. Less than a month later, she announced on her podcast “Kandidly Keisha” that she married Ed Hartwell, a retired NFL player on New Year’s Eve. This came as a surprise to a majority of her fans since no one knew that she had broken up with Big Tigger, who she had dated for three years. Right now this couple is doing just fine. Will they be together for the long haul? That’s questionable. Most people don’t think this marriage will last. They will have a baby or two and some projects together. I see trouble in their marriage around the third year. If they can get through that, they should be fine.

But never go against the family.” She states she was referring to a different family member, but it might as well have been aimed at Rob.

By Mackenzie Scibetta
At an event for Latina magazine, Adrienne Bailon kept the tabloids on their toes when she didn’t technically deny recent celebrity news that she was back with her past love Rob Kardashian. According to UsMagazine.com, when confronted with fans asking about their rekindled romance, Bailon replied, “It is what it is”. The celebrity dating rumors continue as she added, “He’s a great guy and I always wish him well”. The famous couple dated for two years in 2007, but had a rough celebrity break-up after Bailon got into a social media fight with his sisters Kim and Khloe Kardasian.
This celebrity news is a good thing in the wake of rumors surrounding Rob Kardashian. What are some ways to keep rumors from affecting your self-confidence?
Cupid’s Advice:
While gossip can often seem trivial and childlike, it can actually do serious damage to a person’s mindset. Once you realize that rumors are simply designed out of boredom, confusion, and jealousy then you can move on and focus on yourself. Overcoming and ignoring rumors is a step towards mental peace. Cupid has developed a few ways to keep your confidence high while dealing with distracting rumors:
1. Get to the heart of why the rumor exists: If you can have a basic understanding of where the rumor came from and how it developed then you will see it is just one big misunderstanding. In our minds rumors are thrown out of proportion to seem like the end of the world. Putting your mind at ease to realize that gossip is nonsense talk will help you disregard its message. A clear head equals a happy mind.

2. Look at the situation positively: Not letting a rumor hurt or degrade you is an accomplishment that should be celebrated. Relish in the fact that you are mightier than a combination of reckless words. You can gain something from every hard situation, especially from conquering, or even destroying, gossip.

3. Smile: The easiest and most over-looked way to achieve self-confidence is to literally fake it until you make it. Psychology shows by smiling more often and thinking positively you can trick your brain into being happier. Not only does smiling reduce stress levels, but it will make you look great too.

Kim Kardashian Reveals Why Brother Rob Bailed on Her Wedding By Laura Seaman
Months after the Kim Kardashian and Kanye West wedding, the bride speaks out about the one guest who wasn’t there: her brother Rob. There was plenty of press speculation as to why the Kardashian brother left Europe on such short notice, but on an interview with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live, Kim said, “He sent me a long email the morning of that he was going to leave. There was no fight.” She then said, “I just thought, ‘You know what, this is my day, I’m not even going to worry about it.” UsMagazine.com states that Kim insisted she loves her brother very much and admitted she could get frustrated with him at times.
What are some ways to settle family drama surrounding your wedding?
Cupid’s Advice:
Wedding are beautiful occasions where a family gathers to celebrate love and a new addition to the group. However, this can also be a dramatic event, as certain family members may not be too excited to be in the same room as each other. Some people forget that this is a day for the happy couple to be celebrated, not for them to dig up old fights and feuds. Things can get out of hand, and one unruly family member can ruin an otherwise happy occasion. Here are some ways to prevent this mess at your wedding:
1. Find out what is going on. Some people might not want to tell the soon-to-be newlyweds about family drama because they don’t want to add to the stress of a big day. But this just leaves them in the dark and makes it even worse when the drama rears its ugly head. It’s your job to get to the bottom of things and prepare yourself for any issues that might come up. The more you know, the better off you’ll be.

2. Think of who you’re inviting. Of course you want your whole family there to celebrate you wedding, but sometimes it might be smarter to leave certain troublemakers off the guest list. There’s no shame in wanting a nice, peaceful celebration and doing all you can to ensure that it stays that way. Just make sure these uninvited guests don’t find out and crash the party.

3. Sit people down and talk about the problem. If you expect one of your family members might be planning to stir up trouble, sit them down and sternly tell them that you won’t be tolerating any drama and that you won’t hesitate to throw them out if they start something. It’s not easy, but it could be the difference between a fun reception and a disaster of a party.

By Meghan Fitzgerald
Rob Kardashian is now defending his tweets against ex, Rita Ora, two months after posting the now-deleted tweet. According to UsMagazine.com, the last episode of Kourtney & Kim Take Miami was when Rob defended his actions. PerezHilton reports that Kardashian said, “I posted what I posted to keep myself from taking her back. Every time she messed up, I took her back for over a year now. I just had to do that to make her hate me…I don’t want people to think I’m being a bitch.” Kardashian assures that he is leaving the heartbreak behind him and moving on towards love.
What are some ways to make your ex know you’re serious about breaking up?
Cupid’s Advice:
With some couples, they can break up numerous times in one week. They are constantly on and off, never exactly knowing what they want. It is challenging to make your ex realize that you are completely serious about breaking up. They could breakdown in tears and you could chicken out. They may tell you that this isn’t what you want, and you believe them. If you are absolutely sure that you want to break up, you need to keep ground. Cupid has some more advice:
1. Say it in person: Breaking up with someone you spent time with, talked to, get to know-it’s ridiculous. First off, it gives your partner zero amount of respect, and secondly, it will make them think you are not serious about the breakup. To ensure that your mate realizes that you are serious, break the tie in person. Look your beau straight in the eyes and tell them that you are breaking up with them, and you will not be persuaded nor will you change your mind.
2. Respect: This ties in with breaking up with your ex in person. Breaking up with your significant other in person is essential. It makes your respectful, and you are still respecting your mate. With regards to respect, inform your partner that you are breaking up with them. Along with this, include all the reasons why you feel like a break up is necessary. Explain everything you’ve been thinking, what you’re going through, and why you’re doing this. It will make your partner realize you are not joking around whatsoever, and they will take you seriously!
3. Hold your ground: Hold your head high and your feet firm darling! The hardest part in a breakup process is keeping what you said true. It is not easy to break up with another person, especially if that person is persuading you to not follow through with it. Make sure you keep your opinion and actions on line, know what you are going to say and stick to it. Don’t leave the script unless necessary. Keep your chin up and this will all work through!

Rita Ora Opens Up About Breakup with Rob Kardashian By Jennifer Ross
Rob Kardashian might or might not want to speak about his breakup, but his ex Rita Ora is not afraid to tell! In a fresh new interview with Glamour UK, Ora speaks about her breakup with Kardashian. The ex couple started dating in August of this year. Ora explains (via Dailymail.com), “I’m not going out with Rob. We were close for a while, but it didn’t work because I was never there. I was like a ghost. I used to get so frustrated with myself and then wonder why I was angry, so I decided it was best to keep it friendly — especially at the moment, when there’s so much going on.” On Dec. 3, Kardashian, 25, tweeted that his rumored ex girlfriend Ora, 22, had affairs with “nearly 20 dudes.” That’s not all she talks about. The British pop star also says that while she has had “young fascinations,” she has never been in love before. “I think it’s my only weakness. I’m scared of letting my guard down, and if I feel in love with someone now, he’d have to try ten times harder to break it down.”
How do you know it’s best to remain friends when you’re considering a relationship?
Cupid’s Advice:
So you have a person in your life that is a really great friend. You both love to hang out often and you also share personal past experiences easily with each other. Does this mean you and your great friend will make a great couple? Maybe yes and maybe no. To understand where you stand, here are a few clues that say you two are just friends:
1. Favors: Is someone calling you often to hang out, but it also involves a favor? Either you are constantly keeping him/her company while running their errands or doing their chores, or helping him/her move. This is a classic sign that you are in the friend zone. 2. Too busy: On the flip side, think about what answer you receive when you decide to spend a little time with him/her on a lazy afternoon. Is your friend filled with countless excuses, such as having to help their family, watching a game with a friend or reorganizing their bookshelf? Pay attention to the excuse and how often this happens; you may be missing clear signs.
3. Flinching: If the friend you are attracted to is not into you in the same way, he/she will flinch or stiffen up when you casually reach out to touch them. Their instant body reaction is telling you that you have crossed a line and friends don’t do that.

Rumor: Are Rihanna and Rob Kardashian Dating? By Erin Minty
In Hollywood this past Saturday, sexy songstress Rihanna was spotted out with the 25-year old reality star Rob Kardashian. The two joined a group of friends for a night of go-karting at Racer’s Edge Indoor Karting, reports UsMagazine.com. Both of the celebrities have been known to have dating issues. Early in December, Kardashian was rumored to be dating singer Rita Orta, who was recently seen with Rizzle Kick’s Harley Alexander-Sule, and Rihanna’s shocking fallout with her ex Chris Brown have left the two single. Maybe this new pairing will work out better for them than their last attempts at love.
What are three important questions to ask on a first date?
Cupid’s Advice:
A first date can be very nerve-wracking for anyone looking for love. Here are a few helpful questions that you should ask on your first date with a potential partner:
1. What type of relationship do you want?: If you are looking for someone to settle down with and the person you are out with is just trying to have some fun, the odds of the relationship working out are extremely slim. You need to know what your partner is looking for in a relationship, so setting some ground rules may be a good idea before getting in too deep.
2. What do you look for in a partner?:Hopefully, the qualities they are looking for are qualities that you possess. This is one surefire way to know if the relationship is set up for disaster. By asking this question, it can give you great insight on the type of person for whom your date is looking.
3. What do you like to do for fun?: This seems like a simple enough question, but it can let you know a lot about the person with whom you are out. If the things that they list are things you also enjoy, then there is a good chance of a connection between the two of you. If not, however, this shows that the two of you probably don’t have a lot in common, which would make a relationship difficult.

Kim Kardashian & Kanye West Double Date with Rob Kardashian & Rita Ora The Kardashian’s shared their love together while enjoying a double date in London on Wednesday night. Kim Kardashian sat comfortably beside her recent beau, Kanye West, while Rob Kardashian snuggled next to his girlfriend, Rita Ora at Zuma. Rob and Ora have been dating since last December, and she and Kim seemed to get along perfectly during the dinner, an onlooker for UsMagazine.com reported. West and Kardashian were even showing some affection during the dinner. “When Kanye got up to leave he gave Kim a lovely tender kiss on the lips,” the witness added. Kanye West’s collaborator and long time friend Jay-Z was also spotted in Zuma.
How can double dates bring you closer together as a couple?
Cupid’s Advice:
Double dating can test out how your relationship works around other people. If you double date with your family or best friends, then it’s all even more important as to how well the date goes, because when someone dates you, they date your family, too. These are some reasons as to why double dates can bring you closer together as a couple: 1. You’re being social, together: If you’re dating someone, you most likely have a good time together, but for the most part without other people. If you can both have a great time with other people, then you’re even more compatible.
2. Get to know the people in each others’ lives: Double dating can be a great way for both of you to get to know each others’ friends and family. It could be a time to open up, under less pressure.
3. Learn more about each other: You know how your partner is when you’re alone, but double dating could allow you to see how they are around the people who know them best. You learn more about what they like and how they are.

Exclusive Interview: Khloe and Lamar’s Malika Haqq Opens Up About Relationships, Love and Acting Aspirations By Daniela Agurcia and Lori Bizzoco
Thanks to the ever-present cameras of Keeping Up with the Kardashians and Khloé & Lamar, we have all gotten to know and love Malika Haqq, Khloé Kardashian Odom’s BFF and former assistant. On the second season of Khloé and Lamar, currently airing on E!, we see her deal with the ups-and-downs of being a single woman and navigating the dating world. In an exclusive interview with CupidsPulse.com, the positive- spirited Malika opens up about her past relationships and what she learned from them as well as her acting aspirations.
As many fans know, Khloé and Malika have been friends since they were teenagers and the two have remained tight despite the Kardashian clan’s rising fame.
“We refer to one another as sisters from two different misses and misters.” Malika jokes. “I get very emotional about a lot of things Khloe has gone through in the spotlight and I can go to her and discuss it. And if she has things she wants to discuss, she knows that she can come to me too.”
Related: How to Communicate to Get What You Need When asked about Khloe and Lamar’s relationship, the one reason Malika says it works so well is because they talk. “I know that it sounds generic but so many people have issues in their relationship and they don’t communicate about it. The thing about Khloe and Lamar is that they are honest and can turn to one another in just about every circumstance.”
Khloe and Lamar’s relationship isn’t the only one fans got to witness this season. There was also a flirtatious display of on-camera chemistry between Malika and Khloé’s younger brother, Rob Kardashian, although the two never became an “official” couple.
“Being friends as long as we are and growing up near each other, sometimes you tend to look at people at little bit different than how you once used to but ultimately our relationship never became of a serious nature because what was important to Robert and I was that we would always be friends and that we would always have a relationship,” Malika said. “It was a moment in time and it hasn’t changed our love for one another at all, in fact Robert is in a relationship now and he’s very happy and I am happy for him.”
When asked what lessons she could impart to other women who may be in a similar situation with a guy she said, “If you teeter on the line of not being in a committed relationship, then anything can happen. [Not making a full commitment] also might be a sign that some things just shouldn’t happen.”

Malika gave us a glimpse of another relationship on this season’s Khloé & Lamar as we watched her fall head-over-heels for Arizona Cardinals defensive back, Adrian Wilson. Once the couple got serious, she even moved to Arizona to be with him. “Most of our relationship was quite good,” she shares. Unfortunately, Wilson was in the midst of a divorce — one that began before Malika developed a relationship with him — and eventually, the pressure became too much to bear. “It kind of broke us up,” says Malika.
Malika walked away from the relationship with another lesson learned. She explains, “Sometimes it’s just best to not put yourself in the middle of something [like Wilson’s divorce]. Go out with someone who is completely free and clear, and then make the decision to date them or not.”
Even though she has no regrets about her faulty relationship with Wilson, Malika has no plans to get involved with another recently separated or divorced man. “I won’t be running down that dark street again,” she clarifies.

Rob Kardashian Says He Doesn’t Want a Girlfriend for Christmas Sorry, girls! Rob Kardashian is flying solo this holiday season. “I mean, I want a girlfriend. I’ve been single for a while, but I’m 24 years old and I feel like I have a lot of work to do on myself first and that’s really what I’ve been focusing on. I’m focusing on my health and getting into shape and my career,” he tells People. What does Kardashian want exactly? Just time together with his family. The whole Kardashian crew spends Christmas Armenian style and, of course, together as a family. Kris Jenner gives out pjs every year for the whole crew, and they all sleep at the house, get up at about 6 a.m. and celebrate together. “My mom also throws an awesome Christmas party every year and at the end of the party — once everyone leaves — we all sit by the fire and talk as a family.”
What if the man you like doesn’t want to settle down?
Cupid’s Advice:
So what do you do when you’re ready to pick a wedding date, but your significant other doesn’t even want to live with you yet? It’s difficult, but it might be time to move on: 1. Talk about why he doesn’t want to settle down: Maybe there is an underlying factor that is scaring your man from committing fully. It could be some pressure you place on him, or it could have to do with how his own family worked out. Either way, talk to him and try to understand on his level.
2. See if you can make any compromises: Could it be possible you are too controlling for his liking? If your man is nervous about living with you because of such issues, make compromises. You won’t wake him up or 6 a.m. yoga on Saturdays if he will put the toilet seat down. Talking about issues like that might make your man excited about the whole idea, instead of trying to run from it.
3. Consider moving on: If all else fails and your man still doesn’t want to settle down, you might have to find a new man. We all hate to hear this, but you and your lover have to want the same thing for your relationship to succeed. There is sure to be someone out there who wants what you want.
