Family

Marcus Jordan had a sobering realization following the deaths of Hulk Hogan and Ozzy Osbourne this week -- one that encouraged him to reconnect with his family ... and nearly pick up the bottle after months of sobriety.

The troubled son of Michael Jordan took to Instagram Friday to reveal the deaths of the rock legend and WWE icon encouraged him to reach out to his family because "life is short and it's important to spend time with the people you love."

His relationship with his father, mother Juanita Vanoy and siblings was previously unknown ... but he hasn't been seen publicly with the NBA star since February 2024, when they watched the Super Bowl together. And considering he says he reached out to his siblings -- brother Jeffrey and sisters Jasmine, Victoria and Ysabel -- and both 'rents, it seems like they were not on speaking terms.

NBA YoungBoy's verses have featured plenty of wild claims -- including one about his soon-to-arrive thirteenth child!

The rapper made the news about his plans known in a verse from his new track "If You Need Me," in which he made a reference to his wife being "on our 3rd kid."

In light of the songwriter's claim, we're going to take a look at the lives of the performer's other children and get a glimpse of the musician's family life.

Some people just can't wait to have kids ... and it looks like YoungBoy's one of them, as he welcomed his first son, Kayden, when he was still a teenager!

The rap star shares his eldest child with Nisha Keller, and although they separated after Kayden's birth, they ended up getting back together further down the road ... more on that later.

YoungBoy's second son, Taylin, arrived in March 2017, and he shares the child with another ex-girlfriend, named Nia.

The thing is, he ended up reuniting with an old ex, Starr Dejanee, and they welcomed his third baby boy, Kamiri, the following year.

The performer also helps raise his ex's son Kamron -- whom he initially thought was his own, although a DNA test later proved otherwise.

Not all of the rap star's relationships have exactly been conventional, and he ended up in hot water for his treatment of one of his baby mamas, Jania Meshell.

YoungBoy was allegedly caught body-slamming his ex on camera in February 2018, and he was arrested on a kidnapping warrant the same month.

He later worked out a plea deal and pled guilty to misdemeanor simple battery family violence. He was required to not have any violent contact with his girlfriend.

YoungBoy and Jania ultimately reconciled and welcomed a son named Kacey in February 2019 -- although they wound up breaking up.

Remember how we said Nisha would show up again earlier on? Well, it turns out the performer briefly reconciled with his ex, and she gave birth to his first daughter, Armani, in June 2020.

And he didn't have to wait too long to expand his family again ... because another one of his girlfriends, Drea Symone, gave birth to a baby girl named Kodi just five months later!

The performer's family only kept expanding further, as another ex of his, Yaya Mayweather, gave birth to his son Kentrell Jr. in January 2021.

It looked like YoungBoy was ready to settle down about then, as he started dating Jazlyn Mychelle in 2020 and married her in 2023 ... but the kids just kept coming!

The rapper didn't exactly wait to start a family with Mychelle, because their first child, a daughter named Alice, was born in August 2021.

And they didn't exactly wait for too long to give Alice a younger sibling, the rapper's now-wife gave birth to their son Klemenza the following September.

The pair's eldest child was named after YoungBoy's grandmother, according to Billboard, and his son was named for a character from "The Godfather" ... which is a pretty cool reference, if you ask us.

Oh, and we should mention the performer allegedly fathered two children, including a daughter named Kiori, with two separate women in 2023, which brings the rapper's apparent total count of kids to 12 -- which puts him neck-and-neck with Nick Cannon, in case you were wondering.

Brooke Hogan's got a lasting reminder of her late father, Hulk Hogan ... because she named one of her twins after him.

Sources close to Brooke tell TMZ ... despite Brooke and Hulk being estranged when she gave birth to twins back in January, she gave a special tribute to her famous father by giving her daughter his middle name, Gene.

Brooke's daughter is named Molly Gene Oleksy ... and she wanted the kid to have grandpa's middle name as a way to honor Hulk.

NBA YoungBoy is officially set to surpass Nick Cannon in the fatherhood department ... the "Never Broke Again" rapper revealed on his new album that he's expecting baby number 13 -- his 3rd with his wife, Jazlyn!!!

The 25-year-old Louisiana rap star released his new "Make America Slime Again" album on Friday, featuring the heartfelt track "If You Need Me" ... where he let the world inside his bedroom through the lyrics, "When I f***, she want me to pull her hair / Me and Jaz on our 3rd kid!!!"

His confidence to bring babies into Donald Trump's America stood tall on the rowdy "XXX" where he salutes his homie in the White House ... "Mama, I say my president, no Biden The lean got me, I'm in autopilot / The police watchin', but they ain't gon' stop me / Make America Slimy Again / Whatever Trump doing, b*tch, it's good for the youngins / SEX AND VIOLENCE!!!"

Noah Cyrus got fans excited with an onstage reunion with dad Billy Ray at her London album release event ... and despite their messy history, she's telling TMZ family truly reigns supreme!

We bumped into Noah at LAX Thursday, and she spilled the tea while strolling hand-in-hand with her fiancé, Pinkus -- declaring music and family are at the heart of everything, and yep, things are definitely cruising smoothly.

As we all know, the Cyrus family’s had its fair share of drama -- rumors of tension between Noah and Billy were all over the place. But looks like they’ve kissed and made up.

The mother of Taylor Swift's ex-boyfriend took a swipe at the pop icon on live TV, saying she's happy to no longer be associated with TS.

The Bravo host pointed out Taylor wrote songs on her album, "The Tortured Poets Department," about her short-lived 2023 romance with Matty, and he asked Denise for her reaction to the 2024 record.

Hulk Hogan's wife, Sky, says she's crushed by the wrestling legend's passing ... writing in a message on Friday that her "heart is in pieces."

The Hulkster's partner -- whom he married back in 2023 -- released a statement on his death on her Instagram page ... and it's emotional.

Sky revealed the WWE icon "had been dealing with some health issues, but I truly believed we would overcome them."

Kelly Osbourne is speaking out for the first time publicly about her father Ozzy Osbourne's death ... and she's using some Black Sabbath lyrics to express herself.

Kelly's post reads ... "I feel unhappy I am so sad. I've lost the best friend I ever had." She includes a broken heart emoji.

Brooke Hogan is telling people close to her she's grateful she had one final chance to tell father Hulk Hogan she loved him, even if they were estranged in his final years ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to Brooke tell TMZ … she learned of her dad's death Thursday morning when her brother, Nick, texted her husband to share the news. We're told the father-daughter relationship had been fractured for some time -- the result of a culmination of issues over the years and how Hulk treated Brooke.

Our sources say the last time they spoke was two weeks before Hulk married Sky Daily in September 2023. During that final phone call, we're told Brooke expressed deep love and concern for her father, telling him she didn't think he should still be working so hard given his declining health.

Ozzy Osbourne was cheerful as he enjoyed breakfast with his family at home in England in what appears to be the last publicly posted footage of him just days before his death.

His daughter Kelly Osbourne shared the clip on her Instagram Story on Sunday -- the Black Sabbath icon can be seen sitting at a table scrolling on his iPad at his mansion in Buckinghamshire as Kelly playfully commands him to greet everyone.

Ozzy -- dressed in a black tee and headphones -- dutifully responds with an enthusiastic "Good morning!"

Bryan Kohberger's victims' families have mostly talked about their disgust for his actions and their hope that he suffers in prison ... but one person is forgiving him before he's officially put away for life.

Worth noting ... Malone originally beat her to the punch by filing his own documents in a Utah court -- and, there's no indication he plans to drop the case there.
