House Guest

Neighbors, what’s up?! Our house is full of joy because our girl Ari Lennox pulled up, and the vibes are exactly what you’d hope for!

We get into her new album Vacancy, what inspired it, and why this chapter has her more open to love and connection than ever. Ari talks honestly about dating and what kind of partner she's open to.

She also takes us back to her childhood, where she admits she definitely kept the adults on their toes, plus we served up her favorite lobster pasta and had plenty of laughs along the way.

If you’ve already tapped into Vacancy (which you should be), tell me in the comments: what’s your favorite track from the album?

Neighbors! We have the one and only Kelly Rowland pulling up to the house 🤯

A global icon. One third of Destiny’s Child. A solo artist with tens of millions of records sold and a career that’s still evolving in real time!

We talk about her new film Relationship Goals, which she stars in AND produced, now streaming on Amazon Prime. She opens up about family, losing her mother, and the unexpected ways she still feels her presence. We also talk about her relationship with Ms. Tina Knowles and why that bond has meant so much over the years.

Kelly hints at what she’s been working on in the studio, why this next era feels different, and her drive to experiment and push herself in ways she hasn’t before.Y'all, I didn't want this hang to end!

Have you seen Relationship Goals yet? Let me know in the comments what you thought!
