“THE HEART INFECTION FIGHT”: Brandi Glanville SHOCKS fans with a DEVASTATING update, CONFESSING her battle against a BONE INFECTION required an IV TUBE running to her HEART—VOWING her new home is the FRESH START she needs to recover
Brandi Glanville of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills shared an update amid her health journey, and she revealed where she stands with ex-husband Eddie Cibrian, the father of her two children.
In the past, Brandi explained she has a parasite or skin infection that changed the look of her face. She’s tried various treatments and consulted with many doctors to try to find a solution.
In an interview for Us Weekly, Brandi shared that she’s “feeling so much better” now.
“It’s been a slow process, but I’m finally getting back to my normal routine and feeling like myself again,” said the star, who revealed that moving to a new home “feels like a fresh start.”
“The new space has really helped me reset and focus on creating a calmer, more positive environment for myself,” she said. “Honestly, [I’m loving] the peace. I’m enjoying keeping things simple, spending more time at home, and really taking care of myself.”
“[I’m] grateful for the experiences [on reality TV, but I’m in] such a different place now,” she went on. “I’m actively filming my YouTube series and working on a variety of new projects, so my focus is really on everything I’m creating today. It’s been exciting to grow and explore new platforms.”
Brandi also addressed where she stands with Eddie amid their co-parenting relationship. (In the past, Brandi accused Eddie of cheating on her with Scheana Shay and others.)
“It’s been good. We’re in a much better place, and we both really try to keep things steady and supportive for the kids,” explained Brandi, who’s trying to keep holidays “low-key” in 2025. “[My plans include] family, relaxing, and enjoying some downtime.”
Back in September, Brandi addressed her health problems.
“I had to go and get the bandage replaced this morning because it’s really hard to shower. This is my right arm. [The IV] goes from my arm into my heart,” she said at the time on Brandi Glanville Unfiltered. “I have to be really [be careful].”
“I have a bone infection and a deep-seated skin infection with staph,” she added. “[My new doctor] basically took everything I had from each doctor and saw all of it and was able to put it together. It was almost like too many cooks in the kitchen here, and they just couldn’t figure it out.”
“THE 10-YEAR CURSE LIFTED”: Witney Carson COLLAPSES IN TEARS backstage, VOWING Robert Irwin’s win is the SACRED PAYBACK that VANISHED a decade of SHAMEFUL losses that HAUNTED her career and FINALLY RELIT HER SOUL
The confetti may have fallen on Robert Irwin and Witney Carson as the champions of Dancing with the Stars Season 34, but for the seasoned professional, the Mirrorball Trophy represents something far more profound than hardware: the “10-YEAR PAIN ERASER.”

Sources confirmed that a tearful Witney SOBBED WITH JOY backstage, admitting that after a decade of FRUSTRATING LOSSES and agonizing near-misses, Robert's unwavering light and commitment finally 'RELIT HER SOUL,' making this victory the ultimate EMOTIONAL PAYBACK that was far more important than the trophy itself.
A Decade of Near-Misses and Second Place
Witney Carson, a beloved pro since 2014, has long been considered one of the most talented choreographers and nurturing partners in the ballroom. Yet, despite her undeniable skill, she only had one victory (with Alfonso Ribeiro in 2014) before Robert Irwin.
The Agony of Second: In the years following her first win, Witney came agonizingly close to the title multiple times, consistently finishing in second or third place. She even revealed in a previous interview: "I've just accepted that I'm maybe just second place forever. I've been second, like a lot of times, I've been third, a lot of times." This self-deprecating quote highlighted the mental toll those losses had taken.
The "Pain" of Lost Freestyles: Each defeat meant shelving a carefully crafted, often emotionally raw, finale freestyle—the ultimate creative culmination of a season. These repeated near-victories amounted to a decade of professional heartbreak.
Robert: The Soul Relighter
This season, however, something shifted. Robert Irwin, the young conservationist, brought an earnestness and an infectious, positive energy that Witney repeatedly called a "gift."
A source close to the celebration claimed: "When Robert's name was called, Witney truly collapsed in tears. She wasn't crying because she won; she was crying because she felt healed. She later confessed that the genuine, unjaded spirit Robert brought—the way he showed up and pushed through his rib injury without complaint—'relit her soul.' It reminded her why she fell in love with dancing in the first place, stripping away the competitive fatigue and pressure."
Robert's tribute to his late father, Steve Irwin, and his emotional connection to the music reportedly allowed Witney to create choreography that was purely heartfelt, rather than just technically perfect—a style that proved decisive with voters.
The Ultimate Emotional Payback
For Witney, the victory was the completion of an emotional circle. It wasn't about adding a second Mirrorball to her mantel; it was about finally seeing her decade of perseverance rewarded through a partner whose integrity and spirit were uncompromised.
As Robert delivered his heartfelt thanks, echoing his sister Bindi's famous quote, Witney was reported to have whispered, "I already feel like I won with him as my friend," confirming that the profound, life-changing partnership—the emotional payback for her decade of frustration—was the true prize that night.
