Wynonna Judd is opening up about the surprising way she found out that her family was growing.
Speaking to People about her upcoming album, The Hard Truth — which she said is inspired by her strained relationship with her daughter, Grace Kelley — the country singer, 62, revealed she learned about 30-year-old Kelley's reported pregnancy through a TikTok video.
While Judd is already a grandmother to Kelley's 4-year-old daughter, Kaliyah, whom Judd and her husband of 12 years, Cactus Moser, legally adopted and are raising, she said she found out she might have another grandchild on the way after Us Weekly broke the news in August that Kelley, who is currently serving a 15-month sentence in a Virginia jail, requested a since-denied temporary release to give birth at a hospital.
"Isn't that crazy? I laid there, and I was shocked, just like you would imagine. And I cried and cried and cried and cried, because I have another grandbaby, I think," Judd, who is also a grandmother to Hazel, 2, via her son, Elijah Kelley, revealed.

Kelley Wolf has opened up about the circumstances that lead to a court-issued restraining order against her last August, following an attempt to enter the home of her ex-husband, actor Scott Wolf.
In an Aug. 29 Instagram statement, the "Real World: New Orleans" alum explained that after a year spent working with a team of professionals—including doctors, therapists, psychologists, and healers—she has answers surrounding the situation that left her banned from contacting the three children she shares with Scott: Jackson, 17, Miller, 13, and Lucy, 12.
"It's been a year since I recognized what everyone around me could see: I was not well, and I needed help," Kelley wrote.
The 49-year-old podcast host went on to describe her mental health at the time.
"I felt like my brain had been hijacked, and the world was moving at the speed of a freight train," the mom of three continued. "It turns out that is exactly what happened, but I didn't know it."

Scott Wolf has shared his support after his estranged wife, Kelley, issued an emotional apology for her actions during their marriage.
The Party of Five actor commented on Kelley's emotional Instagram statement amid their ongoing divorce battle.
Scott and Kelley announced in June 2025 that they had separated after 21 years of marriage, per Us Weekly. The source reported that the actor was temporarily granted sole custody of the couple's three children while Kelley was placed on involuntary psychiatric hold.
Months later, Scott was granted a temporary protective order after Kelley allegedly shared his phone number via social media. She was later arrested in her Utah home on suspicion of electronic communication harassment and electronic disclosure of personal identifying information.
Earlier that week, she seemingly confronted her husband in an Instagram story, writing, "Scott: Send the kids now!!! No more games. This is war," according to Page Six. "Last chance and then I go to the press."

Jeff Gordon wheeled the No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet the entirety of his illustrious NASCAR Cup Series career. Gordon captured four Cup Series championships and 93 career wins, stamping him as one of the best the sport has ever seen.
Today, Gordon is focused on the business side of the sport as he is the current Vice Chairman of HMS. During an appearance on the "Business of Motorsports" podcast, hosted by Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s older sister, Kelley, Gordon revealed a shocking detail about his driver contract.
In a world full of guarantees, Gordon had none in his driver contract with Hendrick Motorsports. If Gordon performed at a high level on the racetrack or had big-time sponsors, it was something he was a participant in.
"I think people would be shocked if they saw what my driver contract looked like. … There were no guarantees. We work in this world of guarantees, got to have this, got to have that — I had no guarantees. If the car did well on-track, if the car did well with sponsorship. … I participated in that," Gordon said.
If there was a guarantee, it is that Gordon was consistently a threat to win on the racetrack.

Holly Marie Combs has revealed she has "retired" from acting.
The Charmed star broke the news of her decision to step back from the screen during an episode of her House of Halliwell podcast on 25 August.
"The stuff that I was getting and coming across my desk was just nothing that I was like, 'Oh my gosh, this is really great. I need to do this,'" Combs explained. "And being in, you know, that 40 to 50 range, the job pool gets even smaller and smaller. And I feel like the roles get a little less interesting."
It's been nearly seven years since the Pretty Little Liars actor has appeared in an on-screen role.
The 52-year-old now lives in Washington state with her husband Mike Ryan and her three kids, Finley, 22, Riley, 19, and Kelley, 17, whom she shares with her ex-husband David Donoho.
Spending more time with her family is another reason she's decided to call it quits.

Three decades of all-aged girls have come through the Peach State, which has produced the fourth-most NWSL players. Three of 23 women on the 2019 World Cup roster hailed from the metro-Atlanta area, including Emily Sonnett, who currently plays with the NJ/NY Gotham FC; Morgan Gautrat née Brian; and Kelley O'Hara.
Which made Thursday night something special to witness, especially for this next generation of girls soccer players. Girls like Emerson Finch, Harper Eubanks, Mattie Raborn and Charlotte Peyton, who all play for Augusta ****** nal.

TONIGHT'S GAME: The first-place Houston Astros (63-61), who own a 2.0-game lead in the AL West, and the Seattle Mariners (58-66) will play the rubber game of their three-game series tonight at Daikin Park.
Astros ace RHP Hunter Brown (3-2, 3.68 ERA) will get the start for the Astros opposite RHP Bryan Woo (8-8, 4.15 ERA) and the Mariners.
DIESEL POWER: RHP Hunter Brown will make his 13th start of the season and his 10th since returning from a lengthy stint on the IL with a right shoulder strain. The 2025 All-Star has begun to round into form over his last four starts, including two quality starts, going 2-1 with a 3.04 ERA (8ER/23.2IP) with 24 strikeouts, a .188 opponent average (16×85) and a 0.97 WHIP. Brown is looking to reverse his fortunes against the Mariners, who he's gone 1-4 with a 4.09 ERA (20ER/44IP) against in nine starts.
THE TURNAROUND: After a slow start to the season, the Astros are 43-30 since May 22, which is the second-best record in the AL in that span. On that date, the Astros were 20-31, 11 games under, which is their low water mark for the season.
TONIGHT'S BROADCASTS: Tonight's game will be nationally televised by NBC and streamed on Peacock with Jason Benetti, Ryan Rowland-Smith, and Geoff Blum in the booth. The game will also be available nationally on ESPN radio with Sean Kelley and Doug Glanville behind the mic. Locally, the game can be heard in English on SportsTalk 790 featuring Robert Ford and Josh Reddick. The Spanish radio broadcast will feature Francisco Romero and Alex Treviño on TUDN 102.9 FM.

Party of Five alum Scott Wolf and his estranged wife, The Real World: New Orleans alum Kelley Wolf, are facing another significant development in their highly publicized separation. According to TMZ, a Utah court has dismissed the misdemeanor harassment charges that Kelley previously faced.
After announcing their separation in June 2025, the couple's split became contentious. As Entertainment Weekly noted, Kelley was later placed on an involuntary psychiatric hold, and Scott obtained a restraining order. Not long after that, Kelley was charged with electronic communication harassment and electronic disclosure of personal identifying information.
On July 28, TMZ reported that, per legal documents they reviewed, the electronic harassment case has been dropped. The state of Utah, where the charges were filed, submitted a motion requesting that the misdemeanor charges Kelley faced be dismissed.

In addition, TMZ noted, prosecutors asked that the charges be dismissed with prejudice, meaning that they cannot be brought again. Court documents indicate the request followed Kelley's successful completion of a diversion agreement, though the terms of the agreement were not publicly disclosed.

The Diamondbacks dropped the opener of The Most Important Series of the Season™, losing 3-2 in ten innings to the Pirates. Merrill Kelly pitched well, and Max Kepler gave Arizona a 2-0 lead. But a throwing error by Kelly allowed a key Pittsburgh run, and Juan Morillo then gave up the tying score, which pushed the contest into extras. The Diamondbacks were unable to take advantage of a major Pirates gaffe, stranding the Manfred Man. A ball which was clanked off the glove of Ildemaro Vargas let the home team walk off, but the key stat tonight was the D-backs going just 2-for-14 with runners in scoring position. And one of those hits didn't score a run either.
But to focus on the positives. Merrill Kelly continued his resurgence. He finished June with an ERA above six (6.11, to be precise). But since the calendar turned to July, he has been much improved. Tonight, he allowed only an unearned run over 5.2 innings, on four hits – all of which were singles. He walked one and struck out six. [That is still an area of concern. Through nineteen starts last year, he had 7 or more K's eight times: he hasn't gone past six at all this year] He did hit a batter, Pirates' rookie Esmerlyn Valdez wearing a pitch around the wrist area, and having to leave the game in obvious discomfort. Hopefully, there's no serious damage there.
Through five innings, both Kelley and his opposite number – confusingly, called M. Keller – were basically cruising. Each side has managed to advance only one runner past first-base to that point. In the top of the second, Max Kepler led off with a single, advanced to third on a pair of outs, but was stranded there when Ildemaro Vargas grounded out. For the Pirates, they got a two-out single in the bottom of the fifth, and the runner stole second before being left there. Kelly even got a pick-off, ending the fourth by nailing the pinch-runner who had come in to replace Valdez. Rather embarrassing for them, I imagine.
Both pitchers were also being highly efficient. Through five innings, Keller had needed just 63 pitches, and Kelly less than a handful more at 67. I particularly enjoyed this strikeout by Kelly which ended the fifth inning. None of the six pitches in the zone, and zero contact by the batter on his three swings. However, my hopes of a quick recap foundered thereafter, as neither starting pitcher would make it through the sixth. Corbin Carroll and Geraldo Perdomo singled to lead off the top of the frame, though Gabriel Moreno would strike out looking, on a master-class of ABS by the Pirates catcher, which reversed two ******* to strikes, by very narrow margins.
[Conversely, Moreno was 0-for-2 in his challenges tonight. Though it is worth noting that the team's overall challenge rate when on defense is still 66.7%, significantly better than the MLB average of 58.1%.]

For years, Julie LaPlaca helped produce The Bachelor's biggest love stories. Then she found herself at the center of one.
When Peter Weber led ABC's dating show in 2020, Bachelor Nation became fixated on rumors that the pilot had developed a relationship with a producer on the show while searching for love. Internet sleuths zeroed in on LaPlaca, fueling years of speculation about what really happened between them.
In her new memoir, The Love Producer, out now, LaPlaca confirms that her friendship with Weber — who proposed to winner Hannah Ann Sluss at the end of his season before moving on with contestant Kelley Flanagan — turned romantic and that the two eventually hooked up. LaPlaca writes about spending years wondering what could have been — and how letting go of those "what-ifs" became crucial to moving on.
After excerpts from the memoir surfaced, Weber pushed back on parts of LaPlaca's account. Following the book's release, he told TMZ that he'd repeatedly asked LaPlaca not to include him or details of their off-camera relationship in the memoir, adding that he hopes she "finds the love that we all deserve."
But while readers may come for the gossip, as longtime Bachelor Nation host Chris Harrison writes in the book's foreword, they'll likely stay for something deeper: the story of a woman who spent years helping other people find love without finding her own happy ending.

Texas A&M's 2026 season may have ended prematurely in the Regional Round of the NCAA Tournament, but second-year coach Michael Earley accomplished his goal of getting the program back to the postseason, which served as the final run for several of the Aggies' stars, who have already been selected in the 2026 MLB Draft.
On Saturday, four 2026 starters were selected in the first four rounds of the 2026 draft, starting with former Maryland infielder Chris Hacopian, who went 11th overall to the Washington Nationals, followed by star hitters Caden Sorrell and Gavin Grahovac going 62nd overall to the Chicago Cubs, and 81st overall to the Los Angeles Angels after three seasons in College Station.
On the mound, junior LHP Shane Sdao, who returned after two injury-riddled seasons as one of three key starting pitchers, struggled out of the gate under second-year pitching coach Jason Kelley, who was subsequently fired after the 2026 season. Compared with his 5-1 record and 2.96 ERA in 2024, missing the 2025 season may have hindered his development.
Ending the year with the highest ERA (7.03) Sdao recorded a career high 83 strikeout, but allowed 16 home runs and 20 walks, which can be fixed with the right coaching staff. Still, talent always wins out, leading to the junior lefty being selected 120th overall in the fourth round by the New York Mets.
Given his financial slot, listed at $645K, Sdao has a choice to make regarding his future, and while returning for a final season could result in being selected one or two rounds higher this time next summer, developing in the minor leagues might be too tempting.

Texas A&M coach Michael Earley entered his second full offseason with plenty of pressure from the Aggie fan base to make significant changes to the coaching staff, starting with replacing second-year pitching coach Jason Kelley, which came to fruition just days after the Aggies fell to USC in the College Station Regional.
After hiring MLB pitching coach/coordinator Barry Enright, former ***** ociate head coach and recruiting ace Nolan Cain returned to the staff after two seasons serving in the same capacity with Texas, which was quite the shock given the Longhorns' success after making it to the College World Series before falling to Georgia.
Set to lose his top three hitters to the 2026 MLB Draft, including Gavin Grahovac and Caden Sorrell, Earley went to work in the transfer portal, adding ten players, led by former Clemson catcher Nate Savoie, who is the No. 2-ranked portal player.
Texas A&M's latest addition, Oklahoma transfer outfielder Alec Blair, will make his way to College Station after helping the Sooners win a national ***** le last month, as the former blue-chip prospect and dual-sport athlete brings plenty of promise to what looks like an established lineup, even with the departures.
According to D1Baseball's Joe Healy, Blair is on track to take another step in his development, especially after forcing the coaching staff to place him in the lineup due to his immense talent during his freshman season.

Entering his second full offseason, Texas A&M coach Michael Earley accomplished his goal of leading the Aggies to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in two seasons, but after losing back-to-back games to USC in the College Station Regional, it was clear as day that Earley needed to make a change to his staff, specifically relieving pitching coach Jason Kelley of his duties.
After Kelley was dismissed, Earley hired MLB pitching coach/coordinator Barry Enright, whose development background and major league experience were highly intriguing, while the shocking return of recruiting ace Nolan Cane, who coached catchers for the Texas Longhorns during the past two seasons, has already paid off in the transfer portal.
So far, the Aggies have added nine players, including six pitchers from the portal, while the addition of former Clemson catcher/outfielder Nate Savoie, ranked as the No. 2 overall-ranked transfer, provides Earley star power at the plate, knowing that Caden Sorrell, Gavin Grahovac, and Chris Hacopian are expected to depart for the 2026 MLB Draft.
While the Aggies have been connected to several SEC transfers, including LSU pitcher Marco Paz, Texas A&M is now reportedly in the running for Oregon Ducks transfer infielder Naulivou Lauaki Jr., who recorded a .321 batting average, paired with 43 hits, 37 RBIs, 24 runs, and 14 home runs during his freshman season with the Ducks.
According to his recent TikTok video, Lauaki Jr. is reportedly down to Florida, Georgia and Texas A&M, teasing his future reveal, and with Nolan Cain now a part of the Aggie coaching staff, I won't say that A&M should be considered the favorite, but this is good news either way heading into the new week.

Last week, Texas A&M coach Michael Earley made the first significant staff change of his career at the helm, firing second-year pitching coach Jason Kelley, leading to the pursuit and hiring of MLB pitching coach/coordinator Barry Enright, who has spent the last six seasons with the Arizona Diamondbacks, Los Angeles Angels, and, most recently, the Athletics.
While Enright's lack of college coaching experience, especially recruiting, looked like a major red flag, the Aggies quickly added two of the top arms in the transfer portal, as former UNLV right‑hander Jase Evangelista and Wichita State transfer RHP Johnny Nuanez are headed to College Station, while the Aggies are predicted to land Texas State transfer Wade Cooper this week.
Enright's background as a developer was the primary reason Earley hired him over several current college coaches, feeling that his pro-level perspective and ability to connect with up-and-coming pitchers who need to tweak small parts of their game to reach their potential. If A&M lands Cooper, it's clear that Enright won't have issues landing transfer players.
This week, former MLB manager Bo Porter, who served as the Angels' first base coach during Bo Enright's time with the organization, praised Earley's decision to bring his former coaching partner on board, feeling that the Aggies may have just hired one of the "best pitching coaches in the country" during his interview with TexAgs.
"I commend Texas A&M for the hire," Porter stated to TexAgs. "When you look at Barry Enright's career, from the player to coach transitioning from the professional ranks to Texas A&M. I believe Texas A&M just hired one of the best pitching coaches in the country."
