Cupid’s Advice:
Ending a relationship, especially a marriage can be a tough decision to make. It’s difficult to know if you should keep trying to work on it, or if it is time to call it quits. If you’re having trouble in a relationship and need some signs that your relationship is unfixable, Cupid has some advice for you:
1. You don’t trust each other anymore:One of the most difficult issues to resolve in a relationship is a lack of trust. Although trust and loyalty can be regained sometimes, once they are lost over and over again, it becomes even more difficult to replace. If you and your partner have tried regaining trust, and it is just not working, it may be a sign of irreversible damage.

2. You make each other unhappy more than you make each other happy: Another tell-tale sign of an unfixable relationship is unhappiness. If you and your partner usually make each other unhappy or upset more often than you make each other happy, this may be a sign that the good parts of the relationship are long gone. Although you can try things to fix this problem, if negative feelings and unhappiness are persistent in your relationship, it may be difficult to change that.

3. You’ve tried everything: The most telling sign that your relationship is unfixable is when you both feel a sense of exhaustion because you have tried everything, and nothing has worked. Before giving up on the relationship, make sure you have tried every possible solution to work through your problems. Once you have tried everything without seeing progress, it may be time to call it quits.

On a recent episode of comedian Danny Pellegrino’s “Everything Iconic” podcast, Lindsay revealed that she will not be supportive of Kufrin’s relationship with Yrigoyen in the future. ”I think he’s a piece of sh*t … He has doubled down on his beliefs. This isn’t the first time he’s had problematic behavior.” Last month, Yrigoyen posted a controversial Instagram post in support of police officers. Kufrin initially supported him though disagreed with his views. After speaking to Lindsay on an episode of “Bachelor Happy Hour,” the reality TV star revealed she was unsure of her relationship status with Yrigoyen. When Pellegrino asked about the current status of the relationship, Lindsay declined to answer.
In celebrity news, Rachel Lindsay is all for Becca Kufrin cutting ties for Garrett Yrigoyen. What do you do if your friends don’t like your partner?
Cupid’s Advice:
In a perfect world, your friends will love your partner as much as you do. Unfortunately, your friends may not be so supportive of your relationship. It can be hard to navigate a relationship when you don’t feel supported. If your friends dislike your partner, Cupid has some advice for you:
1. Hear your friends out: Your friends (hopefully!) have your best interests in mind, so give them the benefit of the doubt. Give them a chance to explain why they don’t like your partner. They might see something unhealthy in your relationship that you couldn’t. Even if you end up disagreeing, your friends will appreciate you listening to their worries.

2. Don’t force a friendship: As much as we want our friends to love our partner, it’s not possible for everyone to always get along. If your friends dislike your partner, you shouldn’t force a friendship between the two parties. Accept that you’ll miss some group hangs with your friends to spend time with your partner. Accept that your partner may not want to hang out with your friends and that you can’t force them to tag along.

3. Set boundaries: Ask both your friends and your partner to respect your choices and to refrain from talking negatively about each other in front of you. Make sure to spend time with your friends and your partner, even if that time doesn’t overlap. Don’t let one side prevent you from seeing the other. If your friends or your partner won’t respect your choices, it may be time to let them go.

Celebrity News: Trista Sutter Explains Why ‘The Bachelorette’ Has More Success Than ‘The Bachelor’ By Diana Iscenko
In the latest celebrity news, Trista Sutter, the first Bachelorette, revealed why The Bachelor has less success than its female-led spin-off. On a recent episode of UsMagazine.com’s “Here For the Right Reasons” podcast, Sutter explained why “women do it better.” The reality TV star claims a season’s success is based on how well it was cast and how open the lead is to finding love on the show. Sutter also acknowledges how easy it is to “get caught up in the lust factor.” In the franchise’s history, sixBachelorettes are still with their season’s winner, while only one Bachelor is married to his season’s winner. Several Bachelors have ended up with someone from their season after proposing to someone else.
In celebrity news, Trista Sutter opens up about why The Bachelorette has more success stories than The Bachelor. What are some ways to tell the difference between lust and love?
Cupid’s Advice:
The start of a new relationship is exciting! It’s easy to get swept up with a new partner, but are you excited for the right reasons? If you’re not sure if you’re in love or in lust, Cupid has some advice for you.
1. You enjoy talking to them: Anyone in a new relationship will want to see their partner, but talking over the phone consistently might show that there’s a deeper level of connection. If you only talk to your new partner while seeing them in person, love may be taking a backseat to lust.

2. You accept their flaws: Lust often loses interest when you discover your partner’s flaws. If your feelings toward your partner are genuine, it’ll be easier to accept their flaws and continue to like them despite their more negative qualities.

3. You’re excited about the future: Your excitement should go past the next time you’ll see your new partner. You should also be excited for them to meet the other people in your life and to reach relationship milestones with them. If you’re excited for what your future relationship will hold, you’re likely in love, not lust.

The reality TV star said she may never “fully talk about” the experience, but she wanted to support others who miscarried.

In celebrity baby news, Ali Fedotowsky opened up about her recent miscarriage. How do you support your partner through a miscarriage?
Cupid’s Advice:
Miscarrying is painful, whether you were the pregnant parent or not. It’s important to lean on your partner during this difficult time. If you’re not sure how to support your partner through the loss of your pregnancy, Cupid has some advice for you.
1. Let them know how you’re feeling: Make sure to let your partner know that you’re grieving with them. To start healing from the loss of the child you never met, you need to let out your emotions. Even if your grief is different than your partner’s, it’s so important to work through this together.

2. Remember it’s no one’s fault: It’s very common for those who lose pregnancies to think they’re “broken” or that they’re to blame for the miscarriage. If your partner was pregnant, make sure they know you love and support them, regardless of their ability to have kids. If you were pregnant, focus on the happiness you already have in your partner and family.

Talk about your experience: Once you and your partner feel comfortable, talk to your close friends and family about what you went through. Miscarriages are common and you’ll likely know others who went through the same thing. Knowing you aren’t alone can help you heal.

1. Do things alone: While going out with friends might be your default, it’s hard for a new person to approach your group. Taking yourself out can help you meet fun, new people that you normally wouldn’t. If you’re nervous about going out alone, ease into it by bringing a book or a journal with you.

Celebrity Break-Up: Jim Edmonds Says Marriage with Meghan King Edmonds Was ‘Loveless and Abusive’
By Diana Iscenko
In latest celebrity news, Jim Edmonds accused ex-wife Meghan King Edmonds of abuse in a recent Instagram post. Edmonds posted a picture of his girlfriend, Kortnie O’Connor, captioning it: “If it wasn’t for this girl, I don’t think I would be here right now.” He continues by accusing his celebrity ex-wife and Real Housewives star: “I was going through hell ending a loveless and abusive relationship. The lies and accusations that followed the breakup only put me deeper into a funk.” The post’s intent was to celebrate the new celebrity couple but may create drama between the reality TV exes.
This celebrity break-up was certainly not drama-free, and accusations are still being thrown out there. What are some ways to keep negativity after a break-up from consuming your life?
Cupid’s Advice:
The end of a relationship is always hard, but avoiding drama will make it easier for you and your ex. Even if you can’t avoid every awkward moment, Cupid has some advice for you:
1. Take time apart: Do your best to not see your ex, even if you want to be friends after the breakup. Give yourself a couple of months to get used to life on your own before you reach out to your ex again. Staying too interconnected after a breakup will prevent you (and your ex!) from moving on.

2. Set boundaries: Sometimes you can’t avoid your ex. Maybe you work together or have close mutual friends. You and your ex need to establish boundaries. Discuss what you’re comfortable with when you do see each other and be adamant about not falling back into your old habits.

3. Avoid social media: After the breakup, take some time before going on social media. Seeing what your ex is doing will cause unnecessary hurt and drama. You might also want to keep your breakup off the internet at first. You may not be ready to talk about the breakup with those outside your inner circle.

Celebrity Baby News: Former ‘Pump Rules’ Star Stassi Shroeder Reveals Sex of First Child By Diana Iscenko
In latest celebrity news, reality TV star Stassi Schroeder announced she’ll be having a daughter with husband Beau Clark. The Instagram post was thecelebrity couple’s first confirmation of the Vanderpump Rules alum’s pregnancy, despite UsMagazine.com breaking the news two weeks earlier. Clark shared his own post about the pair’s celebrity baby, writing, “I was raised by great women, and the lessons I learned from them I’ll [forward] to my daughter and then some!”
In celebrity baby news, Stassi and Beau will be welcoming a baby girl. What are some ways to prepare for a baby girl versus a boy?
Cupid’s Advice:
Expecting a child is an exciting time! Your family is growing and there’s a lot to prepare for. It’s important to know that a baby’s brain develops differently for each sex. If you want a sneak peek into your little girl talents and struggles, Cupid has some advice for you:
1. Talking: On average, girls start talking a month earlier than boys. Girls also tend to have larger vocabularies than boys as early as 18 and 24 months. However, reading to your child has more of an impact on their vocabulary than biological sex does, so be sure to talk and read to your baby as much as you can!

2. Spatial skills: Boys tend to better understand the space objects take up. Boys can usually understand how objects appear rotated between three to five months old, which is earlier than girls. Make sure to play with your daughter in ways that help her with this: build with building blocks, teach her to count, throw a ball around with her.

3. Potty training: Girls have the upper hand when it comes to potty training. They start toilet training between 22 and 30 months, which is three months to a year earlier than boys. Girls pee on their own approximately four months earlier than boys. Girls also are able to sit still to poop around three- and-a-quarter-years-old, which is five months earlier than boys.

Lindsay has been advocating for a more diverse cast since her season ended. In a recent blog post, Lindsay wrote, “These changes have to extend beyond casting a lead of color. The whole franchise needs a diversity makeover.”
In celebrity news, The Bachelor listened to recent criticism from fans and franchise alums, and has selected a black male lead for the next season of the long-running show. What are some ways to meet a diverse dating pool in the “real world”?
Cupid’s Advice:
It’s easy to stay inside your current social circle. Depending on where you live and where you work, that social circle might only be filled with people that look like you. It’s important to put yourself out there whenever trying to find a new partner, so why not put yourself into more diverse spaces? If you’re not sure where to start, Cupid has some advice for you:
1. Start volunteering: Find a cause you’re passionate about and volunteer at a local organization. Volunteering brings different people together for a common passion. Not only will you meet new people but you already know you have something in common!

2. Attend community events: It’s easy to talk to the same people in your community, but there are plenty of events in your town that will help you connect with new people. There’s more to your community than just checking out the farmer’s market every so often.

Celebrity News: Arie Luyendyk Jr. Says ‘Bachelor’ Concept ‘Barely Works’ for Finding Love
By Diana Iscenko
In the latest celebrity news, Bachelor Arie Luyendyk Jr. says the reality TV show’s concept “barely works” when it comes to finding love off-camera. On a recent episode of theCouple Things With Shawn and Andrew podcast, Luyendyk Jr. reveals how he feels the show is unrealistic: ”It’s not natural to have two people that you [have], at the end, and then have to break up with one person and get engaged to another person an hour later.” The Bachelor alum isn’t completely writing off the show as he married his runner-up, Lauren Burnham. Despite not giving his wife the final rose, Lyendyke Jr. and Burnham tied the knot at their celebrity wedding in January 2019. Burnham also told the podcast, “it’s so hard to [build trust] in such a short amount of time.” In celebrity news, Arie Luyendyk came out saying that The Bachelor is ‘unnatural’ when it comes to finding love. What are some unique ways to go about finding love?
Cupid’s Advice:
Most couples meet a partner through mutual friends or dating apps. We can’t all sign up for The Bachelor, but there’s always other ways to meet a new partner. If you’ve given up on blind dates and Tinder conversations, Cupid has some advice for you:
1. Throw a singles party: Crowded singles events can be uncomfortable and overwhelming. Instead, throw a party and ask all your invitees to bring one single friend. Do something you enjoy—like a karaoke night or a cocktail party—to take the pressure off finding a potential partner.

2. Dress outside your comfort zone: You may be passing by people every day that might want to talk to you. There’s no better excuse for them to speak up when you dress in a way that stands out in a crowd. Dye your hair a fun color or dress in a unique style. Whatever you’re comfortable with that draws attention!

3. Slide into someone’s DMs (nicely!): Take advantage of people you’re already connected with on social media. Keep your eyes peeled for posts that show what the person cares about. Try starting a conversation based on something you know you have in common. Don’t send them a generic “hey” if you want to get an actual conversation going.

Celebrity News: ‘Bachelorette’ Becca Kufrin Speaks Out About Garrett Yrigoyen’s Controversial Police Support By Diana Iscenko
In the latest celebrity news, Bachelorette Becca Kufrin disagrees with fiancé Garrett Yrigoyen’s recent Instagram post. Yrigoyen posted a photo of the “Thin Blue Line,” a symbol showing support for police officers. “With so many friends and family in law enforcement, I couldn’t sit back and not support them,” said Yrigoyen on the post. On a recent episode of the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast, the reality TV star spoke out: “I believe that he is a good person… I do think [the post] was tone-deaf, and it was the wrong time and message and sentiment.” Kufrin’s co-host, Rachel Lindsay, was more critical of his silence about the Black Lives Matter movement: “I don’t think Garrett is malicious, but Garrett is what the problem is.”
In celebrity news, Becca Kufrin opened up about her fiancé Garrett’s recent social media posts supporting the police during the Black Lives Matter movement. What do you do if you disagree with your partner’s social views?
Cupid’s Advice:
It’s impossible to agree with your partner on everything. However, differences in political and social beliefs can feel harder to find a compromise. If you’re not sure how to talk to your partner when you disagree on these views, Cupid has some advice for you:
1. Acknowledge each other’s views: You don’t have to agree, but you both need to understand where the other is coming from. Acknowledging and understand your partner’s views will let you understand their thought process. Being able to have healthy conversations will prevent misunderstanding their views.

2. Be specific: Focus on the issues you’re discussing. Don’t diminish each other’s beliefs to political parties or candidates. Even if you’re registered to different parties, there are still issues you might have similar views about. Having pointed discussions about the issues you care about will prevent you or your partner from generalizing.

3. Agree to disagree: It’s almost impossible to change people’s beliefs. You need to decide when it’s time to give yourselves space to disagree about topics. Some topics can easily be left alone. Other topics that you’re passionate about may be harder. If you’re unable to comfortably leave these disagreements with your partner, it may be time to consider how these disagreements affect you and your relationship.

In celebrity break-up news, Colton Underwood is already joking about his recent split from Cassie Randolph. What are some ways to use humor in the healing process after a break-up?
Cupid’s Advice:
Although break-ups can be difficult, laughing about it can really take the edge off. If you want to be able to use humor in the healing process after a break-up, Cupid has some advice for you:
1. Develop a smarter sense of humor: Using humor in tense situations can be hard to pull off. You want to be sensitive your ex’s feeling but still make light of everything. Avoid mean spirited jokes. Saying something hurtful in a joke form could come of even worse than just being hurtful.

2. Don’t use humor to cover up your emotions:Even though humor can help you heal from a break-up, if you use humor to hide or avoid your emotions than it can be unhealthy. If you’re going to joke about your past relationship, make sure it’s not for the wrong reasons.

3. Make sure you’re both in on the joke: Humor only works if both parties are in on it. If you are joking about your past relationship make sure your ex is okay with it. If not it’ll just seem like you’re picking on your ex and it won’t make you feel any better either.

Celebrity News: Kourtney Kardashian Says She Has ‘Responsibility’ to Teach Kids About White Privilege By Diana Iscenko
In the latest celebrity baby news, Kourtney Kardashian shares that she’s committed to teaching her children about white privilege. In a recent Instagram post, Kardashian shares the importance of allowing “conversation without judgement” with your kids. In the wake of George Floyd’s death and Black Lives Matter protests, it’s easy to turn away from these conversations because they’re uncomfortable. “As a mother, there is a natural instinct to protect my children from anything that might make them feel sad or unsafe,” said Kardashian. However, that’s not stopping the reality TV star: “I bare the responsibility to speak with my kids honestly and often about it, even when the truth is uncomfortable.” Kardashian set an example for her children by donating to the NAACP and the Bail Project through her lifestyle and wellness brand Poosh.
In celebrity news, Kourtney Kardashian is speaking out about teaching her kids about racism and white privilege. What are ways to come to terms with your partner on which values to instill in your children?
Cupid’s Advice:
As much as we love our partners, we won’t always see eye to eye. This becomes especially challenging when it comes to raising your children. If you need help deciding what values to teach your kids, Cupid has some advice for you:
1. Decide what’s important: Have a conversation with your partner. Decide what values are non-negotiable and what’s most important to actively teach your kids. Remember that your kids will model their behavior after your own, so not every lesson will be verbal!

2. Delegate “teachable moments”: While you should both be teaching your children values, one of you might have a stronger connection to a particular issue. If your partner has a personal experience that makes them passionate about a subject, you might want to take the backseat for those conversations.

3. Adapt your views: As your child (and you and your partner!) ages, what’s most important to teach them will change. Outside forces, like experiences at school and current events, might require you and your partner to have discussions you hadn’t planned on before. Flexibility is important to best teach your child in a changing world.

Celebrity Baby News: ‘Duck Dynasty’ Star Phil Robertson Finds Out He has Adult Daughter From Past Affair
By Diana Iscenko In the latest celebrity news, Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson discovered he has a 45-year-old daughter. In a recent episode of their podcast, Unashamed with Phil Robertson, two of Robertson’s sons, Alan, 55, and Jase, 50, revealed they received letters from their long-lost sister, Phyliss. The reality TV patriarch took a DNA, which was a 99.9% match. “As it turns out, 45 years, you have a daughter that you don’t know about. Finally, after all those years, we come together,” Robertson said.
In celebrity baby news, Phil Robertson is coping with the news that he has an adult daughter he never knew about. What are some ways to welcome a child (baby or adult) into your family?
Cupid’s Advice:
Families come in all shapes and sizes. No matter who you’re bringing into your family, it’s important to welcome them with open arms. If you’re unsure how to seamlessly expand your family, Cupid has some advice for you:
1. Tell extended family: Whether you’re having a baby, adopting a child, or reuniting with an adult family member, it’s important to make sure they feel welcome. That starts with the entire family being excited to meet them, not just the parents.

2. Make sure they’re comfortable: For a baby, this would be setting up a nursery. However, it can vary for older family members. Make sure to openly communicate with them about their needs. Listening to them will make them feel valued and like part of the family.

3. Put energy into the relationship: It’s not enough to be initially welcoming. Let your new family member know how excited you are for a future with them and use your actions to follow through with that. Be supportive, be accepting, and be there for them.

Celebrity News: Teresa Giudice Says She’s No Longer ‘Physically Attracted’ to Husband Joe By Hope Ankney
In the latest celebrity news, reality TV star Teresa Giudice opened up about her marriage to estranged husband Joe during the reunion of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. According to UsMagazine.com, she was anything, but gentle. Andy Cohen asked her back in October if she was still attracted to her ex- husband, and she said she wasn’t. In the previews of the episode, he asked her again, months later, and she was still firm about having no physical attraction to him. She even went as far as to say that Joe wanted to have sex on their trip to Italy and that she was thankful for her youngest daughter sleeping in the bed with her every night. “It was a good c—kblocker.”
In celebrity news, Teresa Giudice is no longer attracted to her husband. What do you do to get the spark back in your relationship?
Cupid’s Advice:
Sometimes, the attraction that you have for your partner can fade. You can get into a routine that causes the romance to flicker. Or, your honeymoon phase has ended, and it’s hard to navigate the relationship in the same way you did before. Being physically attracted to your partner is an important aspect of a relationship’s longevity, and keeping that fire alive isn’t always as easy as it seems. If you’re having trouble with finding that spark again, don’t worry! Cupid has some love advice that can help you relight that flame in your relationship:
1. Watch old videos: If you’re married, sitting down together to rewatch your wedding video can cause you both to remember why you fell in love with one another in the first place. Even if you aren’t married, old videos with each other in the peak of your relationship can be the catalyst for jump-starting the emotions and attraction that you might’ve lost along the way.

2. Plan a trip: A lot of times, a relationship can suffer because it’s been harder to spend as much time together as you used to. Planning a trip to go away together for even just a couple of days can do wonders for a relationship that hasn’t gotten alone time in quite a while. Existing with one another away from your day-to-day life is a great way to rekindle relationships.

3. Reenact your first date: A fun way to bring the spark back into a relationship is to reenact the first date you guys went on. Whether that be a dinner date, a trip to the movies, or whatever it may be, it can be a cute way for both of you to reminiscence on what initially caused you to fall in love with this person. Besides, if the first date was bad, you both can laugh about it together all the way through. How have you relit the spark in your relationship? Let us know down below!
Celebrity Interview: ‘Temptation Island’ Host Mark Walberg Shares His Thoughts on Season 2 and Physical Infidelity vs. Emotional Connection
Interview by Lori Bizocco. Written by Hope Ankney. Mark Walberg (not to be confused with film actor Mark Wahlberg) is an American actor, on-air television personality, and talk show host known primarily for Antiques Roadshow, The Moment of Truth, and both the original (Fox Network: 2001) and the modern reboot (USA Network: 2019), Temptation Island. Walberg’s time on Temptation Island is split between acting as the host and being a relationship confidant who couples go to for guidance through all kinds of relationship struggles they experience on the show. In our exclusive celebrity interview, Walberg offers our visitors his thoughts on the second season of the show, and some dating advice for any couple going through hardships.
In our celebrity interview with Temptation Island’s Mark Walberg, get season 2 sneak-peeks, dating advice, and tips on emotional connections.
Temptation Island is a reality show that follows four couples who are struggling in their relationships and can’t decide whether to call it quits or not. When they arrive on the island, they are separated and put onto different parts of a beautiful island for four weeks, where they are tempted by other relationship options. The show has seen booming success since the first season of its reboot aired at the beginning of 2019. With season two premiering just a few weeks ago, the drama-filled show has only turned up the heat with its steamy antics.

A season that Walberg claims is “really on steroids” as far as content goes, he explains that what ends up happening with these couples isn’t scripted. The producers aren’t in charge of turning the heat up, despite the drama escalating quickly this season. According to Walberg, it all depends on the couple and their personal journey. For example, Ashley G. slept with someone in the first episode, and that’s something that just didn’t happen in the first season of the show.
Walberg likes the idea of producers not being in control, because it allows him to be more open and vulnerable with the couples. In the second episode, Walberg has a conversation with Rick about Ashley’s infidelity, saying that he’s sincerely hurting alongside Rick. He takes his role with the couples very seriously, admitting, “I want the best for them. I’m very well aware that it’s probably not going to go the way that they hoped or thought they could control, but the bigger question, to me, is always about yourself. What brought you here? It’s not about the other person.” He expands on this statement, explaining how he handled his discussion with Ashley G., hinting that she has great remorse about hurting Rick in later episodes.
When asked if a couple can come back from something like what Rick and Ashley G. are going through, he provides some great advice about the differences in every couple and how they handle hardship. According to Walberg, every couple is unique and thinks differently about their relationship. If you’re talking about two people who have built a foundation from an on-again off-again dynamic, it’s obvious that the couple has been able to forgive one another and get back together after past conflict. Walberg is serious when he asks couples, “Do you think you can come back from this?” He says, “When you sit and break it down, there’s a lot of grey area between the black and white. I know that people watching at home are like, ‘If anybody did that then it’s over,’ but relationships with these people are years long and unique to them.”
Watching season 2 of Temptation Island, we observe events like David’s threesome, Ashley’s infidelity, and then cases like Casey’s where he claims that his relationship with Ashley H. is weak, stating, “I could break-up with her and be fine.” Does that raise questions about what really hurts more, physical infidelity or emotional connection? Walberg seems to think that a lacking emotional connection is much scarier than a physical in fidelity. Physical intimacy doesn’t always cause a bond to form, and he agrees with viewers who believe that emotional connections are the ones that are lasting.

Despite our curiosity, Walberg remains tight-lipped about who he thinks will survive as a couple and who he’s rooting for, but he does touch on the growth he’s seen from both Rick and Ashley H. He thinks that Rick’s backstory of being a playboy is interesting when you see how he grows throughout the season. He even singles out Ashley H. and applauds her for her development from being extremely sensitive to radiating a sense of strength by the season’s end. In fact, Walberg explains that the island is a vehicle for couples to seek answers in different facets of their lives. “For some guys that require self-love, and sometimes [they] just do things I can’t figure out. But, my hope is that everybody leaves the island feeling like the experience helped them grow in some way or another.” If the couples are committed to going to the island, there is a sense of self- reflection that they have to go through and work on. It’s a natural process that happens on its own for every couple.
With shows like Temptation Island, it can be an addicting experience for the audience. So, it isn’t surprising that fans become attached to the show, because they see parts of themselves or their relationship in some of the couples on screen. People can relate to wondering whether or not they’re settling in their relationship. It’s easy to empathize with the struggles when it comes to finding your “person.”

Relationship struggles are a reality for all couples, and Walberg stresses the importance of communication to overcome those low points. Not all folks can hop a plane and become part of a reality show to fix their problems, he says, but, “If you can talk about it, you’ve got a shot. Talk it out, and if you need to find professional help to talk it out, that might be the best way.”
And, speaking of communication, Walberg is still in touch with the entire cast from season 1 through Instagram! He says he’s still friendly with all of them, pointing out, for instance, that Evan reached out to him personally when he and Morgan announced their engagement.
So, what can we expect from upcoming episodes? Walberg wasn’t very forthcoming on this, but he told us to keep a watch on the dynamic between couples shifting from potential love interests to supportive friends, as well as seeing romantic connections grow. And, get ready for some entertainment! According to Walberg, the final bonfire is “pretty riveting.”
Stay tuned! If Walberg’s insight is anything to go on, Temptation Island is about to get insanely entertaining.
