‘So Much Is Going On Right Now’ At The First-Ever Teen Mom Family Reunion
Three little words from Briana — “f*ck the fakeness” — set off some of the teen moms at the franchise’s first-ever family reunion. So can the group dynamic be saved, or are more fights on the horizon? During tonight’s season premiere, Teen Mom OG‘s Maci, Cheyenne and Amber met up with Teen Mom 2‘s Leah, Briana, Jade and Ashley at a resort in San Diego (plus guests Gary, Zach, Brittany, Bar and Chau) for “a spring break they never had.” Pleasantries were exchanged right out of the gate at a welcome mixer, but there was visible tension between Jade and Ashley (remember that reunion?).

A Day in the Life of… Alyssa Coco of Roses & Revolutions
“We met when Matt had another band—a more jam-bandy type—and he reached out to me to see if I’d be interested in singing with them,” vocalist Alyssa Coco recalls of first meeting guitarist Matt Merritt, the other half of Roses & Revolutions. “I went to an audition—my dad drove me, of course, haha—and Matt and I really clicked musically, so the rest was history.” But not before taking Alyssa’s middle name—Rose—and combining it with Matt’s father’s suggestion for “Revolutions” to create the perfect band name. “And we just loved the sound of it!” she says. Together, the Rochester, New York-based duo make truly beautiful music. There’s something epic and fantastical about the songs they create, marked by Alyssa’s emotionally unguarded vocals. Alyssa describes their style as “kind of folky,...
