Insiders said the former Voice coach has called the tot Seven – in tribute to her favourite number.

Anne-Marie kept her pregnancy under wraps but on Sunday, she took to Instagram to share her first picture with her daughter.

The snap saw Anne-Marie cradling the tot in amongst some trees while she wore an adorable bear all-in-one.

Meanwhile the new mum opted for a loose fitting checked dress and wore her dark hair down.

She captioned it: “2024 is my favourite year already. We have a new member of our gang.

“I know I need to tidy my wardrobe we’re having bbqs everyday that the sun is shining.

“I’m so excited for the summer shows coming up, I’ve missed you all so much. I want cuddles please.”

Other pictures in the post included the singer standing in her messy bedroom, a selfie in a striped jumper, and a pink cake with frosting and the word Seven on it, which is believed to be her baby’s name.

A source previously told The Sun: “Anne-Marie and Slowthai have had a baby daughter they’ve named Seven.

“It is Anne-Marie’s lucky number and she even has 0707 tattooed on her because she sees them as her angel numbers.

“She was born last month in and both of them are absolutely delighted.

“Anne-Marie has always wanted to be a mum so this is an amazing time for her.”

It comes after The Sun exclusively revealed how Anne-Marie and Slowthai – real name Tyron Kaymone – had secretly married in Las Vegas in the summer of 2022.

‘Dan and Shay show secret strain on The Voice, with showboating  coach using body language to establish dominance’

COUNTRY duo Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney are secretly battling one another on The Voice after kicking off their joint coaching role, a body language expert has said.

She claimed a rift between the country singers could have resurfaced and noticed a “pressure” building when they joined Season 25 of the singing competition.

Grammy Award winners Dan, 36, and Shay, 31, appeared on The Voice for the first time as coaches in February.

One promotion clip on Instagram showed the stars talking about their new gig.

“I’m excited to watch both of you coaching and fighting between you two; you cannot possibly agree on every decision,” commented one fan.

Body language expert Judi James noticed “status and power rituals” between the country music stars.

She said at 5 feet and 8 inches tall, Dan used Shay as a “leaning post.”

Dan and Shay have performed as a duo since 2012 but separated for a spell in 2021.

“Pressure and strain are showing between this double act,” James told The U.S. Sun.

“Dan and Shay split up in the past, and here we saw signs of fluctuating status and power rituals.

“There was also an imbalance of star time during their promo clips.

“Dan and Shay looked as keen as mustard to do well, but there were displays of overkill smiling and ingratiation techniques.

“Their first clip showed Dan using Shay as a leaning post as they discussed the show.

“In the group coach photo, Dan used facial showboating and a diagonal body lean to dominate.”

The Voice season 25 deemed ‘unwatchable’ due to ‘too many country coaches’ taking over chairs
“The heat has been turned up in terms of secretly competing with each other,” she claimed.

“Dan & Shay may not be the double team The Voice hoped for.”

A video shared on Instagram in February showed the pair inspecting their new double chair.

“[Dan and Shay] say 2 red chairs are better than 1,” NBC captioned the post.

Dan mimed, whacking his hand down on the red button from a great height to show he would be the one to decide.

Judi James

The duo sat close to one another, checked out the infamous red button, and discussed tactics.

James said Dan performed other power gestures to assert himself in the double chair.

“Dan tended to use more of a power leg splay when he sat down before Shay followed suit,” said James.

“Then they started wrangling over who would push the red button.

“Dan mimed, whacking his hand down on the red button from a great height to show he would be the one to decide.”

“Shay then pointedly placed his hand lower, right over the button.

“He showed Dan how they would make joint decisions with his hand on it and laid his other hand over it in defiance,” she said.

“Dan could not use his height to his advantage because he was sitting down in the double chair.”

Dan and Shay sang with Reba McEntire, John Legend, and Chance the Rapper in another Instagram clip.

“[Shay] has a beautiful high voice,” commented one fan, while another added, “Shay’s vocals are so powerful!”

“This was Shay’s time to shine in the duo,” said James.

“He flexed and stretched his vocals as much as possible and got approval nods from the other coaches.

“Dan won much less camera attention and had to stand back, strumming his guitar.

“He did not get his vocal mic while Shay belted out the song in close-up.”

The duo hit the country music scene over a decade ago.

Since 2012, they have amassed over 10 billion global streams via Tequila, Speechless, and From The Ground Up.

They also appeared as battle advisors with Blake Shelton on The Voice in 2020.

In 2021, the pair separated professionally after finishing up an arena tour.

Dan claimed in an interview with Entertainment Tonight that they took time out because performing as a duo was “tough.”

“I think life just happens,” he said.

The Voice is testing the strength of their professional relationship all over again.

Judi James

“We’ve been doing this for 10 years, and being in a duo is the toughest configuration of being an artist,” he added.

By March 2022, they were back together after not speaking for four months.

“That night kind of changed everything because we aired a lot of stuff out,” Dan said.

“I apologized for things in the past, and he did the same. We had this come-to-Jesus moment.”

James maintained they must work hard to agree to make their latest TV effort successful.

“The Voice is testing the strength of their professional relationship all over again,” she said.

“The fierce sense of competition between the coaches is part of the Voice’s show’s success.

“Dan & Shay are there as one.

Dan and Shay are already competing for camera time.

Judi James

“Reba and the other coaches have the easy side because they only compete with each other.

“Dan and Shay must agree on all their choices, mentoring, and feedback.

“But Dan and Shay are already competing for camera time.

“This has been unexpected.”

Previously, Dan and Shay’s personal lives have been closely aligned.

They both got married in the same year.

Dan tied the knot with his girlfriend, Abby Law, in 2017.

Shay married Hannah Billingsley in 2017 and welcomed a son, Asher James Mooney.

James suggested Dan would continue to try to dominate, which showed most of all during the coach’s line-up photo op.

“Facing up to the camera in what looks like a selfie, Dan used the height differential again to impose a hint of dominance,” she said.

“He leaned his elbow on Shay’s shoulder, not in a partial clasp, hug, or affection.

“He used Shay as a leaning post yet again.

“When Dan and Shay posed in the coaches’ line-up photo, Dan positioned himself next to Reba.

“He was the only one who used facial showboating again and a diagonal body lean to dominate the space beside her.

It is becoming about which out of the double act might do better solo.

Judi James

“Shay was forced to squeeze into the line-up and is effectively just a head, mirroring Dan’s open-mouthed expression.”

“Dan clapped his hands together in a gesture of authority.

“He then moved to the middle of the pose, repeated the clap, and used a steepled thumb micro-gesture to suggest leadership,” she claimed.

“Dan even jerked his thumb at Shay to allow his turn to speak.

“This moment was so telling in terms of their duo dynamics.

“Chance said he would steal Dan or Shay as a joke rather than lump them together.

“It is becoming about which out of the double act might do better solo.”

Shay Mooney’s ‘weaponized flirting & lap dance gestures’ on The Voice won’t topple ‘undisputed Queen Bee’ Reba McEntire

SHAY Mooney has been trying to boost his prospects on The Voice, and as the Knockouts get underway, a body language expert has said.

She claimed the country star has resorted to “soft behavioral techniques” and “non-sexual flirting,” maybe with his eye on coaching solo for Season 26.

Battle Rounds on The Voice ended on Tuesday with a clip of Shay, 31, talking to Reba McEntire, John Legend, and host Carson Daily shared on Instagram.

“Reba, I feel like you are so far away. I would love it if you were over here and John was way down there,” he grinned.

“You do smell really good,” Shay told John before adding, “It is always good to feel a little sexier.”

“You look sexy dude,” he said to Carson.

Body language expert Judi James said the Grammy Award winner used his body to “power splay.”

While contestants come and go each season, the judge’s positions are never set in stone at the end.

In March, fans speculated online that Reba’s days might be numbered.

“They need to get rid of Reba since Dan + Shay are also countries- rock talent on the show who has no chance at winning- Reba’s washed up and a has-been,” wrote one Reddit follower.

“The Battle Rounds saw Shay sat with one hand dangling in front of his crotch,” James told The U.S. Sun.

The Voice has sudden schedule change next week as fans think the show is ‘falling off’
“His left arm extended in a directional splay to show power.

“When he addressed John Legend, he rubbed his hands together similarly.

“Speaking to Carson, Shay sat back in his chair and raised and lowered his shoulders.

“Shay behaved like a single guy in a nightclub anticipating a lap dance.

“This all might be fun banter for Shay, and he might feel it shows him that he is fearless.

“He avoided direct challenges and thinks he is smart by opting for these soft behavioral techniques.

“This is all called weaponized flirting, which he did all on his own.”

Dan Smyers, 36, and Shay joined The Voice for the first time in February as a duo team.

The famous NBC singing competition saw producers introduce a red double coach seat.

As previously reported by The U.S. Sun, James said the pair showed strain, with Dan using Shay as a “leaning post.”

She claimed Shay had adopted new techniques because he was still unconfident.

Reba has been showing toleration and leadership gestures toward Shay, said Judi JamesCredit: NBC
“Although Shay has started to perform non-sexual flirting, this new body language will come from a place of fear, ” she said

“Shay still feels threatened by stronger or higher-ranking people.

“This often happens in the workplace.

“It can be a move to lower the others and raise your feelings of power by making them uncomfortable and awkward.

“This means Shay could be trying the latter.”

Shay is part of the duo Dan + Shay, which hit the country music scene over a decade ago.

Since 2012, they have amassed over 10 billion global streams with tracks like Tequila, Speechless, and From The Ground Up.

They separated for a brief spell in 2021.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Dan claimed they took time out because performing as a duo was “tough.”

“I think life just happens,” he said.

“We’ve been doing this for 10 years, and being in a duo is the toughest configuration of being an artist,” he added.

By March 2022, they were back together after not speaking for four months.

James claimed Shay could be “frightened” and acting like he wanted to move forward independently.

“Animals flirt with bigger animals in a display called sexual re-motivational technique,” James added.

“Shay might be trying to keep the other animals from fighting him – so here he is reminding them of sex instead.

“He does not behave as a duo with Dan, but more like a young, frightened animal introduced to an existing hierarchy on his own.

Humans use non-sexual flirting to demean or diminish competitors.

Judi James

“Humans can use this technique frequently when faced with a new group.

“But humans also use non-sexual flirting to demean or diminish competitors.

“With Dan and the others, including Reba, this suggests what is happening for Shay here.”

Reba and the other Voice coaches reacted to Shay’s sexy comments with sickly laughs, according to a body language expertCredit: NBC
After mentoring with Blake Shelton, 46, Reba’s time on The Voice appears to be going from strength to strength.

She formerly joined Season 24 and returned for Season 25 when her first stint coaching was with pop star Gwen Stefani.

This saw the two women compete for attention on set simultaneously.

“Now we are seeing Shay take on Reba,” James said.

“Reba has reacted to his signaling by throwing a smile.

This looked more like a toleration gesture from Reba than any return of the non-sexual flirt play.

Judi James

“But instead of a congruent, authentic smile that starts with the eyes and extends to the mouth, she appeared to hike the corners of her mouth up.

“This looked more like a toleration gesture than any return of the non-sexual flirt play.

“Reba has maintained and strengthened her position on the show regardless.

“She often sits central and even to the front of their poses.

“The other coaches with their attention-focused behaviors as they all stand with their eyes in her direction.

“After Gwen left, Reba became the undisputed Queen Bee.”

In another clip, James highlighted how Reba has solidified her position on set.

“Reba’s piece-to-camera filming suggested confidence and leadership,” she said

“Her experience in the music business gives her this natural star-quality edge.

Shay was making pops at their authority and status.

Judi James

“When we see Reba with the other coaches, she also used a gesture of leadership.

“She showed authority and dominance when she pointed her finger at them all.

“Reba kept it waggling to show disapproval.”

“Shay, unlike Reba, is the show newbie, along with his so-called partner Dan,” added James.

“He can not chip away at the pecking order by challenging the alphas.

“After his sexy comments, Reba did not even react with a natural smile.

“The other coaches and host’s rather sickly laughs suggested they might not have appreciated it.

Shay was making pops at their authority and status.

Judi James

“They may feel Shay was making pops at their authority and status.

“This is a competitive show, and all this might have been fun banter for Shay.

“But he seemed to be taking things to a new level with his non-sexual flirting gestures and banter.”

All About Maluma, Team Legend’s Playoff Mentor on Season 25 of The Voice

One of the biggest Latin music stars is joining The Voice to help Team Legend.

As Season 25 of The Voice continues, the competition is getting fierce. Luckily, all of the contenders are getting a little bit of extra help as the Playoffs loom. Every team is getting a Playoff Mentor, a successful, talented musical artist who can offer some additional pointers to their mentees.

Team Legend’s Playoff Mentor knows a little something about F.A.M.E. — no, really. Colombian Urbano singer Maluma has joined The Voice to assist Coach John Legend as he tries to guide his team to victory.

Who Is Maluma, Team Legend’s Playoff Mentor?

Maluma, whose real name is Juan Luis Londoño Arias, is a singer-songwriter from the Colombian city of Medellín who has become a major force in Latin music. Born January 28, 1994, Maluma started his musical career when he was only 16, releasing his debut album Magia in 2012. While well-received, it wasn’t until Maluma’s sophomore album, 2015’s Pretty Boy, Dirty Boy, that he really achieved mainstream success. Pretty Boy, Dirty Boy debuted at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Top Latin Albums.

He followed that up with three more albums: 2018’s F.A.M.E., 2019’s 11:11, and 2020’s Papi Juancho. He’s no stranger to collaborating either, which will come in handy as he works to help contestants on The Voice. He’s performed with Ricky Martin, J Balvin, The Weeknd, and Jennifer Lopez. He even co-starred opposite J.Lo in the 2022 comedy Marry Me.

Some of Maluma’s biggest songs include “Felices los 4,” which features Marc Anthony; “Hawai,” which was a hit on its own and an even bigger hit when The Weeknd remixed it; and “Corazón.” He’s also the featured artist on Shakira’s hit song “Chantaje.”

Maluma’s stage name is a combination of the first syllable of his mother, father, and sister’s names — Marlli, Luis, and Manuela.

What Do Playoff Mentors Do on The Voice?

Mentors are a storied tradition on The Voice. While the four coaches typically do the bulk of the work picking and guiding their Artists as they compete to win the season, occasionally mentors will come in to help, offering new insights or expertise in a different genre of music than their coach. For Season 25, Kieth Urban is serving as a Mega Mentor, meaning he will float from team to team. During the Playoffs, though, every team is getting its own Playoff Mentor.

John Legend’s Babies Esti & Wren Look Like Twins As They Share a Big Hug (PIC)

The Voice Coach’s youngest kids are growing up so fast!

They’re not twins, but they’re as close as siblings can be. The Voice Coach John Legend’s kids Esti Maxine Stephens and Wren Alexander Stephens, born just months apart in 2023, gave each other the biggest hug in a new picture shared by Legend’s wife Chrissy Teigen. Check it out farther down in this post.

Johh Legend’s babies Esti and Wren are so cute together

“Busy weekend!!!!!” wrote Teigen on Instagram, sharing a number of snippets of the family of six. In addition to daughter Esti and son Wren, she and the EGOT winner share daughter Luna and son Miles. In the first two slides, Esti scoots down a slide, and Wren, a dead ringer for his dad, smiles wide on a swing.

In other parts of the post, Luna shows off both a research project about bees and her impressive high-kick, while Teigen gamely puts together what looks like a plastic play set. And Miles’ little league swing is really coming along! In the sixth slide, the youngest two Stephens share a hug in high chairs, and with their identical heads of curly brown hair, you’d be forgiven for thinking they’re twins, not just siblings.

Why Esti and Wren are so close in age

Teigen gave birth to baby Esti in January 2023, and Wren arrived in June of that year via surrogate.

“For as long as I can remember, I’ve always wanted four children…After losing Jack, I didn’t think I’d be able to carry any more babies on my own. To be honest, I’ve personally blocked out out a lot of my mindset during that time, but one clear memory is being surrounded by people who wanted to make sure I wouldn’t go through that pain and loss again,” Teigen shared at the time.

She explained that, like Luna and Miles, she conceived Esti via IVF, but had already started the process of working with a wonderful surrogate with whom she felt a strong connection, so they continued the process of implanting the embryo that became Wren, whose middle name is a nod to the woman who carried him.

“Our hearts, and our home, are officially full. And to our Jack, we know both their angel kisses are from you,” Teigen declared following Wren’s arrival. And their weekends have never been busier!

Chrissy Teigen claps back at troll who accused her of having kids ‘to stay relevant’

The queen of clapbacks has done it again.

Chrissy Teigen hilariously trolled a hater who accused her and her husband, John Legend, of “always trying to stay relevant by talking and keep on having kids.”

Responding to the Instagram comment on Monday, she quipped, “yes very bored and need attention and there is no other way in the world to get it than having kids.”

“yes very bored and need attention and there is no other way in the world to get it than having kids,” she sarcastically replied. chrissyteigen/Instagram

The model’s clapback came after she and Legend celebrated their eldest daughter’s 8th birthday. Instagram

The rude comment came after Teigen, 38, and Legend, 45, celebrated their daughter Luna’s 8th birthday. To honor their eldest child, the EGOT winner shared a sentimental tribute on Instagram Sunday that showed several recent snaps of her.

“Luna made us parents 8 years ago today and she’s truly the best daughter we could ask for,” he gushed in the caption. “We love you to the moon and back, my brilliant girl!”

Showing her signature humor, the model commented under her husband’s post to let him know she read his sweet comments to their other — and apparently least favorite — daughter Esti.

In addition to Luna and 1-year-old Esti, the couple shares sons Miles, 5, and Wren, 10 months, whom they secretly welcomed last year via surrogate.

They previously lost a son named Jack at about five months into their pregnancy in October 2020.

Last week, while they were attending City Harvest’s 2024 Gala: Magic of Motown, Teigen admitted she felt the urge to have another child when Wren began walking, but Legend protested.

“She’s actually incredibly dynamic, accomplished and kind, and everyone who knows her would say the same,” she said.

Teigen doesn’t just use her wit to defend her family online. On Tuesday, she fired back against an internet troll making fun of Jeff Bezos’ fiancée, Lauren Sánchez.

Restaurateur Keith McNally described Sanchez as “revolting” while sharing several photos of her and the Amazon founder on his Instagram page, and the mother of four did not hesitate to stick up for her.

“She’s actually incredibly dynamic, accomplished and kind, and everyone who knows her would say the same,” she noted.

Blake Shelton Discusses Possible Return to ‘The Voice’ and His New Bar (Exclusive)

The country star has one big condition to return to the NBC series.

Blake Shelton doesn’t see himself returning to The Voice.

ET’s Cassie DiLaura spoke to the singer at the grand opening of Ole Red Las Vegas on Wednesday, and Shelton, 47, revealed why he likely won’t come back to the competition series, which he starred on for 23 seasons over 12 years.

“I miss the people. I mean, those people became like family to me, literally from the crew all up to the producers of the show. I was with them more than I was with my family… I miss that,” Shelton said, before noting that he doesn’t “miss the job at all.”

“I totally needed a break from that, because if I wasn’t into it then it wasn’t good for whoever was on my team. I don’t want to be someone who’s just going through the motions. Those artists need somebody fighting for them,” Shelton, who had nine wins over his tenure, said. “The second I started feeling like, ‘Oh my gosh, I don’t even remember what season this is anymore. Who are the coaches on this season?’ [I knew that] I needed [to get] away from here.”

Since he departed the series last year, Shelton said that “every day feels a little bit better,” adding, “I feel better about that decision.” Only one thing would bring him back, though — if NBC managed to wrangle a return from the other three original coaches: Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera and CeeLo Green.

“If they were ever able to put together the original four coaches again, maybe [I’d return] for one season, a one-off,” he said. “That would be fun for me… That would be something I would be interested in doing.”

Though he might not step into the coach’s chair again, Shelton is grateful for his time on the show, largely because it’s where he met his wife, Gwen Stefani, who came on board in season 7.

“The first season she was on The Voice we met [but] we really didn’t talk that much,” he recalled. “… If you would’ve told me the first season that we met that what was gonna happen, I would’ve been like, ‘No, we actually don’t even have anything to even talk about. What are you talking about?’ It’s crazy how things work out.”

Since then, the couple has built a life together personally and professionally, much to Shelton’s delight.

“When you find that life partner, that missing piece you didn’t know what was missing… it’s like, ‘Golly, you can go ahead and kill me if this ever goes away or ends or something happens. There’s no going back now,’” he said.

In fact, Stefani was on hand for the grand opening of Ole Red’s latest outpost, taking the stage alongside Shelton in Las Vegas.

“Any time I play anymore, people have in the back of their mind, ‘I wonder if she’s here. If she is here, is she gonna sing?’ I know they’re thinking about it,” he said. “Last night, I barely even mentioned we have a special guest, and, of course, people knew. This place is a big deal for Gwen, too. She had family here last night for the grand opening that she hadn’t seen in a little while, so it’s all in the family.”

As for the venue itself, Shelton said it “felt like home.”

“You don’t expect there to be this country music honky tonk right here on the strip, but it’s here and it feels like it’s here to stay,” he said. “… It really does feel like you’ve stepped in through a portal and you’re in Nashville when you come through the doors, which is so perfect for Las Vegas because country music has always had a place here… I think it’s gonna be great for the country music industry to have this home base here in Vegas.”

Gwen Stefani Shares Rare Photos Of Her Children With Blake Shelton

It was so sweet to watch them fall in love while on The Voice, and the music that they’ve released together has been amazing! It really seems like the best of both worlds when it comes to these two!

It’s also given fans an opportunity to see Blake in dad mode.

Seeing Blake’s softer side has been a very welcome addition for a lot of fans, even if Gwen doesn’t necessarily show it off a lot, since she prefers to keep her kids’ lives pretty private.

However, she did give us a peek this weekend!

Gwen shared this adorable shot of the family.

Instagram | @gwenstefani

“happy father’s day @blakeshelton thank u for helping me raise these boys!! #weloveyou! G❤️K❤️Z❤️A,” she wrote, signing the post with her initial and the initials of her children. The post contained several shots of Blake with her children looking downright adorable.

Gwen shares her three sons with her ex-husband, Gavin Rossdale.

Gwen and Gavin share Kingston, who’s 14 years old, Zuma, who’s 12 years old, and Apollo, who’s 6 years old (although, Gavin did not get a mention in Gwen’s father day post, nor has he made a post of his own).

Gavin and Gwen however did recently both share some rare pictures of Kingston for his 14th birthday.

Instagram | @gavinrossdale

“What a journey with this young man . king you blow me away . such a kind funny smart handsome naughty spirited articulate dynamic sapien,” Gavin had written in honor of Kingston’s birthday. And while he didn’t name-drop Gwen, he did imply that the two had worked together to raise Kingston right.

“You’re so full of love and humor it feels like we got something right although the credit belongs to you,” Gavin wrote.

Instagram | @gavinrossdale

“What can i tell you – you’re the love of my life. the eye of my apple . you know i do it all (mostly)for you and your siblings right?” he wrote.

Gwen shared this adorable shot of Kingston on the same day.

Instagram | @gwenstefani

“Happy 14th bday to my first born son -thank u God for marking me HIS MAMMA,” Gwen shared on Instagram.

We love to see such happy and proud parents!

Blake and Gwen have no children of their own just yet.

Instagram | @gwenstefani

Though Blake and Gwen have been dating since they co-judged on The Voice in 2015, there hasn’t been any explicit talk of the couple having children of their own, or even getting married, although the fans would obviously be quite excited if they did.

We hope Blake had an awesome day!

Instagram | @gwenstefani

It’s clear that Gwen and her kids have a lot of love for the country crooner, and it’s so awesome to see blended families in the media living happily.

Happy Father’s Day, Blake!

Fans were obviously pretty pleased about the post.

“So true what a beautiful family,” one fan agreed with the above tweet, while another said,, “That was Gods plan for all 5 of them!”

It’s clear that they’re a popular couple, and for good reason.

“Blake and Gwen gotta be the only couple in the universe spend the three months lockdown like a honeymoon,” one fan tweeted.

We hope Gwen shares some more glimpses into their beautiful family life!

American singer John Legend was slammed on social media after his wife Chrissy Teigen’s old tweets resurfaced.

The singer had turned to his social media to post a tribute for his son Miles after which users lambasted him and unearthed tweets from the supermodel, asking him why he kept mum over the entire fiasco.

“Your wife is a danger. She told a child to commit suicide. So many children battle with suicide thoughts and lose the battle. This is horrible what your wife has told a child,” wrote one user.

“Can you and Chrissy Teigen remove your accounts from here?” said another.

“Bullies hide when they are caught,” added a third.

“I hope you’re a better role model for him than his mother. Bullying is a learned behavior. Adult bullies raise mean kids, and the cycle never ends,” a fourth chimed in.

Earlier, Courtney Stodden had accused Teigen of bullying her and allegedly asking her to “kill herself.”

She told The Daily Beast in an interview published on Monday: “She wouldn’t just publicly tweet about wanting me to take ‘a dirt nap’ but would privately DM me and tell me to kill myself. Things like, “I can’t wait for you to die.”‘

Hailey Mia competed on Idol’s rival, The Voice, in 2021.

Meanwhile, Mia and Jacy, often referred to as the Alabama Sisters, competed on the NBC program in 2020 with their mom, Tara Matthews.

Many TV watchers realized this, and pointed it out on X.

“Wasn’t Hailey Mia also on #TheVoice ? #AmericanIdol,” an Idol fan asked.

“Hailey Mia literally placed 4th on #thevoice so why is she auditioning on #americanidol,” one fan shared.

“Both Hailey Mia and the sisters from Worth the Wait from #TheVoice are now on the current season of #AmericanIdol,” a second asserted.

“Excited to see them all again but also what’s up with casting recycling the same people between the two shows bc they did this last season with other kids too.”

Mia and Jacy, along with Hailey auditioned for Season 22 of Idol.

Hailey is one of the fan-favorites on this season of Idol.

Earlier this month, Idol fans defended the rising star when show judge Katy Perry seemingly criticized her too harshly.

ROCKING THE CROWD

During the episode aired on April 7, which was filmed at Disney’s Aulani resort in Hawaii, Hailey beautifully covered Tate McRae’s She’s All I Wanna Be.

Hailey rocked her performance, effortlessly working the crowd as the on-camera Idol crowd watched her sing her heart out on the Aulani beachfront stage.

When she was done performing, the crowd erupted with applause.

Hailey kept a positive attitude when it came time for the California Gurls singer to give her some blunt critiques.

“I love the moments that you draw people in…,” Katy started her feedback off with.

After she gave the compliment, she pivoted so she could deliver the real.

“Is this the original key that Tate does it in,” Katy asked with a disappointed tone, to which Hailey replied “yes.”

The singer-songwriter suggested she liked another key more than Hailey’s rendition while also admitting to being underwhelmed by the performance as a whole.

Katy then admitted to Hailey that she thought the Idol contestant “could’ve given a little more sauce” while she was performing.

Although Hailey appeared nervous from the judges’ comments, she was overjoyed when she was told that she had advanced to this season’s top 24.

‘A BIT HARSH’

A few Idol fans peeped the shadiness in Katy’s criticism, and discussed it on X.

“Katy Perry is a bit harsher this year and not as cartoonish…,” one X user revealed.

“Katy Perry is so critical of every female singer…. #AmericanIdol,” someone else asserted.

“Why does she always have more critique of the women than she does of the men?” another commented.

“I don’t feel like these women are deserving of Katy’s wrath,” a viewer quipped.
