Common Denies Dating Whoopi Goldberg On ‘The View’ After Teasing He Was In A Relationship With An EGOT: “I Didn’t Get A Chance To Shoot My Shot”

The View was lucky to welcome Common onto their show just one day after the rapper and actor dropped some major news about his love life.

While appearing on The Jennifer Hudson Show yesterday (Jan. 22), Common seemed to confirm he was dating host Jennifer Hudson herself, sweetly saying, “this relationship, for me, is a happy place.”

Of course, when Common joined The View today, they couldn’t resist a few follow up questions. Sara Haines kicked it all off, asking, “When people talk about you, a lot of the headlines lately — I know you’ve probably noticed — people want to know what’s going on in your love life.

“You were on The Jennifer Hudson Show yesterday,” she continued. “And when Jennifer asked if you were dating anyone, you shared — you never actually named names, though — but you said, you know, there were an incredible list of attributes about your partner.

“You said she’s one of the most beautiful people I’ve ever met in my life, smart, talented, had to have her own talk show, had to have an EGOT,” Haines recalled. “So, I want to get a little more specific right now: Are you dating Whoopi?”

While Common appeared nervous he’d have to dish more about his personal life to The View, he broke out into a smile at Haines’ joking suggestion as she turned and gave her co-host a knowing wink.

Whoopi Goldberg remained expressionless, unwilling to reveal if she was, in fact, dating that morning’s guest.

As the audience cheered and laughed, Haines added, “This is a safe space,” while Joy Behar egged Common on by chiming in, “Yeah, come on!” and Sunny Hostin quipped, “You can put it out right here.”

Common replied, “If the shoe fits. Well look, Whoopi does fit all those attributes. I didn’t get a chance to shoot my shot, so…”

When Goldberg finally spoke, she defended Common, telling the audience, “He’s busy, OK? Don’t start no stuff with me and Jennifer!”

Common laughed as he insisted, “It’s all love,” then struck a more serious note, telling Goldberg she is one of his “greatest inspirations” and adding, “You do so much. I just want you to know that. You look beautiful, you look wonderful.”

The View airs weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.

‘Perfect Match’ Episode Release Schedule And Premiere Dates

You have never seen anything like Perfect Match on Netflix. After crushing the reality TV genre over the past couple years, Netflix has taken the standout stars and sexy troublemakers from steamy dating shows (Love Is Blind, Too Hot to Handle) and pulse-pounding competition shows (The Circle, The Mole) and dropped them all in a high-pressure and highly emotional situation. Every night, 10 Netflix reality pros will mingle and pair off as they try to figure out who they’re most compatible with. The next day’s compatibility challenge will put their matchmaking skills to the test, and the couple that comes out on top will get a special privilege: they’ll get to bring in two more singles to the villa in an attempt to match with or tempt their cast mates. Who will be the perfect match? That’s a question we are dying to know the answer to, but we’ll have to wait a few weeks to find out.

So, when will Netflix add new episodes of Perfect Match Season 1? And how many episodes are in Perfect Match Season 1? Here’s what you need to know!

It delivers the Netflix reality romance/dating show drama that you’ve been waiting for.

Bartise Is The Show’s Real Villain

Every season of Love is Blind has its villain; the first season had Jessica Batten who had her eyes on another contestant’s fiancé, constantly brought up her partner’s young age, and, perhaps the worst of it all, let her dog drink wine (which is super unsafe). The following season had Abhishek “Shake” Chatterjee, who continuously body-shamed his fiancé and objectified the other women contestants.

But what about the latest season of the Netflix reality hit? The internet has collectively decided to band against Bartise Bowden (despite everybody teaming up against Cole Barnett during the reunion). The 27-year-old data analyst spent the season engaged to Nancy Rodriguez, 32, however, as revealed in the finale, things didn’t really go as planned. Nancy was ready to get married, quickly saying “I do” at the altar, while Bartise hit her with the harsh “I do not” in response.

Now, you might be thinking, “Well, that’s the nature of the game,” and that’s so, so, true. But in this case, Bartise was a walking red flag (before the wedding) and on instances, told his fiancé that he was attracted to another contestant while on their honeymoon and made continual comments about not being physically attracted to her.

Already dubbed a “narcissistic fuck boy” by Reddit, Bartise continued to drop major bombs during the reunion episode, where it was revealed that he was flirting with a “tall blonde” mere days after his failed wedding. It was a bit of a “three strikes and you’re out” scenario, and Twitter wasn’t going to let him get away unscathed.

While social media users have delivered some of the best, meanest jabs towards the young professional, Nancy’s family represented all of us during the wedding. The realtor’s mom and brothers, who already informed Bartise of their protectiveness, didn’t hold back when it came to calling him out for his immature behavior.

His former partner didn’t go uncriticized during all this as many were confused about why Nancy allowed Bartise to speak aggressively to her family. At one point, when her mom was coming to console her, both contestants ushered her away. Upon her second try, Nancy’s mom told her that Bartise wasn’t ready for her because she was “too much” for him to handle.

Bartise responded with, “Would you have rather me say yes to your daughter, knowing what you just said about me? […] There’s no way that would’ve made any sense. I’m sorry. He then mentioned that their “journey” could continue after the failed nuptials (which Nancy quickly put an end to).

After more badgering, he eventually snapped “I don’t owe you anything” to both Nancy’s mom and her brother, before telling the latter, “Go inside, bro. You don’t understand this.” Disrespectful much?

Whew! Bartise is not coming out “on top” when it comes to public approval. In addition to receiving criticism for the way he handled his relationship, the internet has also decided that they don’t like his “goofy” hair or the things he shared at the reunion.

We don’t think Bartise is going to have a comeback anytime soon. So, there you have it, girlies: never trust a man who wears a dangly earring.

Love Is Blind Season 3 is currently streaming on Netflix.

I’m afraid my siblings will bully me if I tell them I’m bisexual

DEAR ABBY: I am a teenage girl who has recently discovered I am bisexual. I told a few close friends, and I’m happy to say they have accepted me. Nothing has changed. I have not told any of my family yet. I know my parents will support me, but the problem is two of my four siblings. They constantly tease and taunt me, call me names and pick on me. 

I have been raised to stand up to bullies, and I am mostly confident with myself. I have brought up their bullying to my parents a couple of times, but after discipline from my parents they keep doing it. They are clearly homophobic, and I know they will tease and pick on me even more if I come out to them. 

I want to tell my parents, but I’m afraid it will inevitably lead to my siblings knowing. I don’t think if my younger siblings knew they would care, but they might be confused or weirded out since the concept is foreign to them. 

Should I try to convince my parents not to say anything to my siblings until later? I don’t want to hide, but I don’t want to be pushed to depression, low self-esteem or worse if my vocal homophobic siblings know and chastise me about my sexual orientation. — NEW LGBTQ+ MEMBER

DEAR MEMBER: Your siblings are not necessarily “homophobic.” They may just get a kick out of making their younger sister uncomfortable, and whatever punishment they receive is not sufficient to curb the problem. Whether your parents divulge it, your sexual orientation will become apparent sooner or later, so don’t bother hiding. You have friends and parents who support you. Handling negative comments from your immature sibs will give you the confidence to handle others in the future. 

You may want to consider joining a LGBTQ-friendly youth group for additional support. Your parents can find ways to help you by contacting an organization called PFLAG (pflag.org). It’s the first and largest organization for LGBTQ people, their parents, families and allies. You are an intelligent teen who is in the process of discovering who you are, and for that I applaud you.

DEAR ABBY: Over the last year and a half, I’ve been in a relationship with someone I have known for a lifetime. He’s married but working on getting a divorce. He has promised we will do things together once everything is settled. There have been several recent deaths in his family, including a grandchild who was killed by a drunk driver. 

Until a week ago we talked daily, when he told me he needed some time to think and get everything straight. I offered to return the things of his that I have. He said not to, and repeated that he just needed some time. His family has leaned on him for years. I’m sure he is overwhelmed. Should I wait and see what’s next or mend my heart and move on? — STANDING BY IN THE EAST

DEAR STANDING BY: As you are probably aware, I have printed many letters from women who were strung along far longer than two years. Back off. Give him six months to get his head and his life straight and to get that divorce filed. If nothing has changed by then, you will have devoted only two years of your life to the affair, and you should move on.

Ex-QB Jesse Palmer starring host of ‘The Bachelor’ franchise

Former NFL pro Jesse Palmer says hosting “The Bachelor” franchise is a like playing quarterback.

“You’re just trying to avoid the drama at all times,” the ex-Giant told The Post. “It’s like trying not to get sacked.”

On Sunday, instead of watching his former team’s season opener, Palmer, 43, will be traveling to Los Angeles to shoot the live two-part “Bachelorette” Season 19 finale airing Sept. 13 and 20 on ABC.

The Canadian native was hired as the franchise’s host in 2021 after Chris Harrison, who was at the helm since “The Bachelor” premiered in 2002, stepped down in controversy after he defended a “Bachelor” contestant pictured at an Antebellum-themed college party.

In 2004, when Palmer became the first professional athlete to star as “The Bachelor,” which was still a new TV concept, he gave his teammates the play-by-play.

“As you can imagine, we had a lot of fun with that,” said Palmer, who also works as a college football analyst for ESPN.

The popular franchise keeps bringing football players back to star as leading men and contestants and he understands why.

“I think football players have a lot of personality. I think they feel comfortable in their own skin,” he said.

And like Bachelor Mansion, an NFL locker room can be a powder keg of emotion.

Jesse Palmer met his wife, Emely Fardo, at a boxing class in Chelsea.

“You can’t even imagine how much drama there is,” he said.

Although he did not find lasting love on national TV, he did discover it over a decade later in Manhattan — marrying Brazilian model Emely Fardo in 2020. He first laid eyes on her in a boxing class at Rumble on West 23rd Street in Chelsea.

“I was trying to talk to her the day I met her, but I missed my chance and then she liked a photo of mine on social media … and then I technically made the first move and direct messaged her,” he said. “But she didn’t answer me back for 10 days; she slow played me.”

The couple, who just moved to Miami Beach with their Aussie Doodle Mademoseille Loulou Palmer, “would love to have children” and have been talking about “potentially getting another dog.”

When asked if he would want his kids to be on the dating franchise or play football, Palmer said, “I’d have to ask the boss. I’m super open to everything. I’d be down for both, but I don’t know what the boss would say.”

Woman falls asleep on stranger on bus, now they’re dating

It was 50 Shades Of Greyhound.

A man’s incredible tale of how a stranger who fell asleep on him on the bus has now become his life partner has captivated TikTok, with videos detailing their amazing love story boasting nearly 20 million views.

“I feel like I’m living a dream, I dreamed of being with such a wonderful person!” Eddy Oscco Huarcaya told NeedToKnow.online of the whirlwind romance.

The fella met his beau-to-be, Catalina, on July 5, 2022, while the two were riding the same bus together. Huarcaya described how she was sitting next to another female passenger, who then disembarked, whereupon the opportunistic man took her seat.

Catalina then fell asleep on his shoulder, as seen in this clip that racked up 3 million views.

“She ended up falling asleep, so I let her rest,” described Huarcaya, who reportedly didn’t make a move at the time.

“I feel super happy because I have the most beautiful girl in the world,” gushed Eddy Oscco Huarcaya.

It wasn’t until a few weeks later, when the influencer spotted Catalina on the bus yet again, that he decided to shoot his shot.

“I decided to speak to her and asked for her WhatsApp number, we talked and ended up going on dates,” gushed the supportive fellow. In a follow-up vid, which has over 14.6 million views, he can be seen “bussing” a move on his now-girlfriend.

“I feel like I’m living a dream, I dreamed of being with such a wonderful person!” said Huarcaya.

Huarcaya clearly took the Bill Withers’ hit “Lean On Me” to heart.

From there, their relationship blossomed from strangers into soulmates. “We’re now dating and I feel super happy because I have the most beautiful girl in the world!” fawned Huarcaya, who frequently shares videos of him and Catalina going on dates and exchanging gifts.

Needless to say, TikTok was enamored with the lovebirds’ story of meeting in transit.

“And there begins a love story,” fawned one fan, while another wrote, “I hope they never part.”

One commenter exclaimed, “WHAT A CUTE LOVE STORY.”

“I decided to speak to her and asked for her WhatsApp number, we talked and ended up going on dates,” gushed Huarcaya.

Many viewers admired Huarcaya’s moxie with one admitting, “It makes me nervous to even say hello!”

In a similarly incredible love story in March, two Tiktokkers who had admired one another from afar over for months took a leap of faith and got married days after meeting in person for the first time last summer.

4 Signs you’re suffering from post-relationship trauma

Former partners may have conflicting emotions as a result of the end of a romantic relationship. Some partners may feel relieved that their conflicts and arguing have come to an end. Others may experience depression, loneliness or anxiety at the prospect of carving a new route without their former companion. It is totally natural to experience grief over the loss of a relationship. However, if you leave a relationship with heavy baggage, you should consider the possibility that you are suffering from post-relationship trauma.

Here are 4 signs that you could be suffering from post-relationship trauma after your breakup.

1. Extremely suspicious and untrustworthy

Relationships in which your partner used violence, sexual assault, threats, cheating, financial abuse, emotional abuse, alcoholism, persistent lying, or narcissism might have a long-term negative impact on your emotional health. You may be left with a strong sense of mistrust and distrust, and it may take you a long time to trust anyone again.

2. You feel guilty

Guilt for not moving on sooner may replace feelings of mistrust and loneliness. There may be a broad sense of wasted time, lost days, months, or years of living, and a general longing to move on. This is frequent following a failed relationship. You may be wondering why you stayed with someone that wasn’t suited for you. However, if toxicity is present, the sensation will be amplified. All of this puts a person in a vulnerable position.

3. You get flashbacks

It can be difficult to let go of the past. Difficult events can have a huge impact on people’s daily lives, from their beliefs to the decisions they make. Flashbacks are intense, intrusive memories of a distressing event. They might be really upsetting and make you feel as if you’re reliving an event. These interruptions may be repeated and unwelcome.

4. You’re uncertain in new relationships

Don’t be shocked if you feel uncomfortable and unsettled when you start a new relationship. After leaving a toxic relationship, an individual may find themselves reacting to new relationships with patterns or suspicions. It’s also likely that you’ll interpret what your new partner says incorrectly and feel they’re violating limits when they aren’t.

Having said that, it’s important to trust your instincts. Don’t disregard similar poisonous tendencies in your new partner. Trust what you’ve learnt from previous relationships, and don’t be hesitant to end a new one if it’s giving you negative vibes.

Dating tips for recently divorced individuals who happen to be lonely

It is never too late to welcome love in your lives and a nasty divorce does not mean that you must hesitate getting back out there in the dating world. No matter your age or the societal stigma you face, you must give yourself the opportunity to meet someone who is the icing to your cake and the butter to your bread in life. Nevertheless, if you are newly single, you can use these tips to have a smooth dating experience.

  1. Grasp that chemistry isn’t an indicator of a meaningful connection

If you have stepped out of a marriage where you lost the spark of love and chemistry between you and your husband, then maybe physical attraction is one of the key things you seek. However, lust does not guarantee love, and it is often the thing that tricks people into making an unfortunate commitment. So, remember to take your time and see other people. Also, allow room for love to slowly blossom between you two!

  1. Beware of partners who seem like a paragon of perfection

Since you have now been there and done that, you can make wiser decisions while choosing your next beau. Some people tend to prey on those who they believe are lonely and in need of a partner. So, you may be an unfortunate victim to people who act perfect, shower you with presents and call you all the time just to woo you. However, you must watch out for the red flags and beware of a date who seems too eager to please. Also, flee from individuals who wish to be the only person in your life, as they may be trying to create a way to control you.

  1. Ensure that your legal proceedings are over or that you’ve truly moved on from your ex

Someone times, the individual isn’t ready to open themselves up to love too soon after the divorce. At other times, you may have signed on the dotted line and sealed the deal on your divorce papers, but you may still have lingering thoughts and feelings for your ex. This is normal, but you must wait a while in such cases before you date someone else, as they may develop feelings for you and you would be leading them on in vain.

So, if you’re still venting about your ex, praising their behavior or craving their presence, then it is probably a good time to take a breather and let some time pass before you step in the dating world.
