Relationships can be tricky to figure out for lots of folks ... but not Madi Prewett -- she's fine with being the "submissive" one in her marriage!
The "Bachelor" alum and her husband, Grant Troutt,spoke about the finer points of their marriage in a recent episode of her "Stay True Podcast"... she said she'd "learned a lot" about the relationship after taking a backseat to her spouse.
Madi admitted the experience was difficult at first, but she got over it and accepted the place she'd carved out in her relationship.
She said submission is "her favorite thing" and she loves to talk about it.
Madi's talked about submission before on her podcastin June 2024 ... when she said she was "called to submit" to her husband, who she described as -- other than God -- her priority.
She nearly ended up with the star of "The Bachelor" Season 24, Peter Weber ... no telling how that would have worked out!
Madi eventually met Troutt, and they married in 2022. They welcomed a baby girl, Hosanna, this past January.
"Selling the OC" star Tyler Stanaland just popped up married, announcing his elopement -- and his former flame Alex Hall tells us she's happy for him ... she just hopes he's changed.
Alex told TMZ ... "I genuinely want nothing but the best for him and want him to find happiness, and it seems like he has."
Alex said, "To an outside perspective, people might be thinking sirens are going off because of his elopement. But I'm not here to judge because I also have done crazy things and am spontaneous. I just hope she doesn't get hurt by him and that he isn't repeating old patterns like he did with his ex-wife and with me."
Jackie Vernon, the voice of "Frosty the Snowman," really must have been a jolly, happy soul prior to his marriage to Hazel Sawyer -- because he started several families and didn't let her know about any of them!
The revelation about the late comedian's personal life was made by his son David on a recent episode of the “Nostalgia Tonight with Joe Sibilia”radio show. David said his father married multiple times and started “at least three” families before marrying Hazel.
David learned about his father's personal life when a woman and her son showed up at his family's doorstep prior to his father's death in 1987. He said she asked to speak with his father -- he wasn't home, so she ended up having a tense conversation with Hazel.
David's mother later told him she'd learned about his father's previous families -- he had "moved on" from them -- and she wasn't sure if Jackie had ever divorced any of his past wives.
Jackie had several sons throughout his past marriages, and he named all of them Ralph -- after his birth name, Ralph Verrone.
Secret families weren't Vernon's only problems, though -- his son said his father had battled depression and addiction to various substances, including Quaaludes and Valium.
Still, David said his father found joy in his work as Frosty the Snowman in several animated specials later in his life -- a bit of holiday cheer's good for everyone!

Fumio -- who was Prime Minister of Japan from 2021-2024 -- posted pics of the double date along with the caption ... "We met many times during my time as Prime Minister, and we worked together to strengthen bilateral relations, including formulating the Japan-Canada Action Plan when he visited Canada."
Seeing as how the 2 former national leaders were already well-acquainted, it seems safe to say they may have been more excited about meeting Katy. Look at those smiles!
2:55 PM PT -- According to divorce papers, obtained by TMZ, Brennon is the one who filed, citing "discord or conflict of personalities" that "destroys the legitimate ends of the marriage relationship and prevents any reasonable expectation of reconciliation."
The papers were filed on November 5 and make no mention of a prenup and instead state Brennon believes they will enter into an agreement to divvy up the estate. This is notable because Alexa apparently comes from money. Fans will remember Alexa's dad, Adam, set high expectations for Brennon to uphold a commitment to his daughter's affluent lifestyle.
Unfortunate news we didn't see coming ... "Love Is Blind" Season 3 stars Alexa and BrennonLemieux are splitting up after four years and one daughter together.

This choice was not made lightly, and it comes with a great deal of care, respect, and appreciation for the time we’ve shared."
The estranged couple met on the Netflix reality show and tied the knot on camera in July 2021. They welcomed their baby girl, Vienna Ziva Lemieux, 3 years later.

Meghan Markle might've hoped her cooking would be the way to Prince Harry's heart ... but, he roasted her as hard as a turkey on Thanksgiving -- claiming her mom's is so much better!
The Duke of Sussex made a brief appearance on the "With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration" Netflix special which dropped Wednesday when MM -- along with Chef Tom Colicchio -- made a gumbo Harry tucked right into.
While at first effusive, Harry undercuts Markle's achievement by claiming it's not as good as his mother-in-law's ... leaving Markle totally shocked.
Miley Cyrus has that newly engaged glow ... flashing her shiny new ring while gushing about leveling up with Maxx Morando.
The singer appeared on "Good Morning America" Wednesday morning and spilled the tea -- saying she’s usually a total control freak, but she finally surrendered in her relationship with Maxx ... which is why that proposal completely blindsided her.
