Rumors have swirled for months that the celeb wants to step away from the series to spend more time with her daughter River Rose, 11, and son Remy, 9, whom she shares with ex-husband Brandon Blackstock.
'Kelly's No. 1 priority is her children, and they always will be,' an industry insider told Page Six in April. 'The show is grueling. It's a whole lot of work and I hear that Kelly would like to spend more time down South.'

Taylor Fritz's Girlfriend Turns Heads With 4-Word Message at Wimbledon
American tennis star Taylor Fritz took down Alejandro Davidovich Fokina 6-4, 6-3, 6-7(5), 6-1 to punch his ticket to the fourth round at Wimbledon. 'It's getting pretty annoying having to stop all the time,' Fritz said after requiring two medical stoppages to deal with a bloody elbow during the match. 'I feel bad for my opponent when I keep having to stop all the time, but you can only really do it on grass. I'm just really determined to get some of these balls, and eventually I'm going to win one of these points.' Advertisement The three-hour, 12-minute victory set the stage for a match against Jordan Thompson with the winner heading to the quarterfinals - where Fritz has reached in two of his last three Wimbledon appearances. As Fritz prepares for another match, his girlfriend, Morgan Riddle, is getting used to the WAG life off of the court. "I've always embraced the WAG thing,' she told Harpers Bazaar. 'I knew no matter what my feelings were on it, that's what I'd be called – so I never wanted to attach anything negative to it. Instead, I wanted to shift people's perspective on the word.' The social media influencer gave her nearly 450,000 followers on Instagram something to talk about ahead of Fritz's next match. "one serve, two serve," she said while showing off a white dress matching Wimbledon's aesthetic. View the original article to see embedded media. Fans couldn't get enough. Advertisement "Serving aces, c'monnn🔥😍," one person said. "Honey she's home! 🎾," added another. "serving!! 🔥" offered a third. While Riddle accepts the "WAG" moniker, she's also creating a lane of her own. "People think of a WAG as someone who follows their partner around without having their own life,' she said. 'Maybe they're financially dependent on them. I came in swinging, really making my own name in this space, and am trying to actively contribute to the sport. I don't just take glam pictures of myself. I know for a fact that I have brought a younger demographic to the game, and a younger, female-led audience too. I've made it more welcoming for female fans. Having a purpose for everything I'm doing is very important to me." Advertisement Fritz will take the court for his match against Thompson at 8 a.m. ET. It will be broadcast on ESPN.

Robert Irwin's Accidental Dine And Dash, Reactions
Robert Irwin is being praised for how he handled realizing that he had accidentally stolen a salad from an Australian restaurant during his road trip. The 21-year-old media personality, who is the son of the late conservationist Steve Irwin, was suitably mortified by the fact that he'd inadvertently dined and dashed as he explained the situation to his 7.6 million Instagram a video that he posted to his profile on Sunday, Robert explained that he is currently road tripping down the East Coast of Australia, and recently stopped for dinner at Coffs Harbour, which is a coastal town in northern New South Wales. 'I found a great restaurant, ordered a takeaway salad, and went in. Little did I know, this place is the place to be in Coffs Harbour, it was packed,' he recalled. 'It's called the Jetty Pavilion, and I went in there, and there was a lot of people who saw me, and said g'day, and wanted to have a photo and all that, which is all good.' 'But it turned into a bit of a frenzy,' Robert added. 'Was a little bit of a flurry there for a minute, and they were so nice; they got the salad super fast, I made sure I said 'hi' to absolutely everyone, cheers, thanks so much, have a good night, see you later… And then, the next morning, I wake up and realize I never paid for my salad.' 'I just did the old dine and dash, and I didn't even realize I'd done it!' Robert exclaimed with laughter. 'I felt terrible, so, y'know, I reached out: 'Do you want me to give you my credit card details or Venmo you or, how do you want me to do it?' because I'd left Coffs Harbour, and they said: 'Oh, love what you do, it's all good, sorry for the mix up — just leave us a good review!''Robert said as a token of his gratitude, he was recommending the restaurant to all of his millions of followers, who he asked to support the local business that had a 'great team, great food, amazing atmosphere.' He then confirmed that he still planned to pay for his salad on his return trip through Coffs Harbour, explaining: 'I apologize again, I know you guys were like: 'It's all good,' but I am going to be coming back up through Coffs Harbour, and I am going to be giving you, in person, the money for that salad, because today is not the day I start my life of crime — as much as the tabloids would love that, it's not happening.' 'I'm so sorry again. I felt terrible,' Robert reiterated before joking: 'Onto the rest of the road trip, I am not going to steal any more salads!'And people have been left impressed by how Robert handled the whole thing. Discussing the video on a Reddit forum, one popular comment reads: 'I know it's a low bar thing, but I do appreciate him realizing what happened, apologizing, and making amends for the mistake.''Quite possibly the only example I've seen where 'I'll pay you in exposure' was more than what was asked for,' somebody else wrote, while another added: 'He's the biggest green flag ever.'Robert's followers also praised him in the comments of the original video, with one person writing: 'As a small business owner, I can confirm that you just did the absolute most WONDERFUL thing for them by doing this!! Such a kind (and life-changing) gesture.''That is the absolute cutest and most honest thing I've seen all day 😂 you really did them a solid with that wonderful review, love it!' one more echoed, and Jetty Pavilion themselves were overwhelmed with thanks in the comments. 'Ohhhh my goodness! We were just out on a family walk to Woolgoolga Waterfall and came back to see this!' the person behind its social media account wrote. 'Thank you soooo much for visiting our venue we're honestly blown away. Being from a humble little coastal town, it means the world to us to have you stop by.''We're all huge fans, and truly appreciate the shoutout. We can only imagine how hard it must be to enjoy a quiet meal without being bombarded so thank you again for choosing us, and no stress about missing the payment!' they went on. 'We'd absolutely love to have you back anytime… we might even have to name a salad after you 🐊🌿'Over on their own account, Jetty Pavilion later revealed that another customer had picked up Robert's bill, sharing a photo of the kind stranger alongside the caption: 'Tell Robert his salad's officially been paid for 😂🫶 Daniel stopped in on his way back to Melbourne after seeing the story and get this…. 1. He paid for Robert's salad 2. Got one for himself 3. And paid another one forward! Honestly, moments like this just remind us how many beautiful people there are in the world. Big thanks to Daniel for the kindness and to Jake for grabbing a pic! What an absolute legend! 🙌🥗' You can watch Robert's full video below, let me know your thoughts in the comments!
