Heartbreaking News About Brentt Leakes, Son of NeNe Leakes, Has Been Confirmed
The Bravo world is reeling today as devastating news about Brentt Leakes — the only son of Real Housewives of Atlanta legend NeNe Leakes — has been officially confirmed. Fans who have followed NeNe’s rollercoaster journey on reality TV know that Brentt has often been her anchor, her pride, and her reason to keep pushing through unimaginable storms. But this latest revelation has left both fans and insiders speechless.
According to multiple sources close to the family, Brentt has been facing a private battle that is now being thrust into the public spotlight. Insiders describe the news as “heartbreaking,” and NeNe herself is said to be “completely shattered.” The family has remained tight-lipped for weeks, but now the truth is out — and it’s darker than anyone expected.
For years, viewers watched Brentt grow up in front of the cameras, often portrayed as the quiet, grounded presence in contrast to NeNe’s larger-than-life personality. He was the calm in her storm. But behind the scenes, he was struggling with pressures that few could imagine. Whether it was dealing with the crushing weight of fame, or navigating the aftermath of his father Gregg Leakes’ tragic passing, Brentt’s journey has been far from easy.
What makes this news even more gut-wrenching is the fact that Brentt had recently begun to turn his life around, diving into entrepreneurial ventures and carving out his own identity beyond his mother’s reality TV shadow. Fans cheered when they saw his progress, but now the shocking confirmation feels like a cruel twist of fate.
Social media has exploded with reactions. “This is unreal. My heart breaks for NeNe and Brentt,” one fan wrote. Another added, “The Leakes family cannot catch a break — this is beyond tragic.” The wave of public sympathy has been overwhelming, and many are urging people to respect the family’s privacy during this excruciating time.
NeNe Leakes, never one to shy away from speaking her mind, has yet to issue a public statement. But those close to her say this blow has left her “devastated beyond words.” For a woman known for her strength, sass, and resilience, this could be her most difficult battle yet.
The news about Brentt Leakes is a chilling reminder that fame does not protect anyone from life’s cruelest realities. For now, all eyes are on NeNe and her son, as fans hold their breath and hope for light in the middle of this heartbreaking storm.
RHOC Star Jennifer Pedranti is Granted Sole Custody of Her 3 Kids Following Divorce From Ex William
Jennifer Pedranti has been granted sole physical custody of her three youngest children, Greyson, 15, Everleigh, 13, and Dominic, 11.
Last Wednesday, September 3, the 48-year-old Real Housewives of Orange County star and her former spouse, William Pedranti, who previously made a deal that they would share joint physical and legal custody, confirmed the change to their arrangement with the court.
According to a report from Us Weekly on September 9, Jenn and William’s latest filing also awarded William with visitation of the kids and required him to give Jenn at least an hour’s notice if he wants to see them.
Jenn and William, who finalized their divorce last year, also share two older children, sons Dawson, 18, and Harrison, 21.
When Jenn and William finalized their divorce last year, William was ordered to pay Jenn $6,409 per month, $4,674 for child support, and another $1,735 for spousal support, and it was noted that the children would live with Jenn. Additionally, William was ordered to pay a lump sum of $267,811 and stated that Jenn would be allowed to keep all interest in her yoga business.
Months later, William requested the court remove him from his spousal support requirements, explaining that Jenn was residing with Ryan Boyajian, 49, and had “little to no living expenses (rent, utilities, car payment, etc.) due to this living arrangement.”
He also wanted his child support payments reduced since Dawson had moved in with him.
In the same filing, William accused Jenn of harassment, alleging that she had shown up to his home without an invitation and sent him messages that weren’t approved by the court. In response, Jenn denied the claims, explaining that she was trying to get in touch with William in regard to their children.
“I believe it is unfair to terminate spousal support because I am cohabitating with Ryan. The ONLY reason I am cohabitating with Ryan is because William left me with no other option,” she wrote in her court documents, proceeding to accuse William of failing to pay her the $267,811 he was ordered.
“[If I had] received [the money] … I would have had the ability to pay my lease, and I would not have been evicted. Or, I would have had the means to secure my own place without Ryan. It would not be equitable for the court to consider my cohabitation with Ryan as a basis to end my support when William’s bad conduct forced me to do so,” she stated.
Jenn went on to request that her spousal support stay the same. And in their most recently filed amendment, no change was noted.
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 19 airs Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
