Actress Candice Patton and retired NBA player J.R. Smith have just welcomed a baby boy. However, there’s some drama, as Smith is still married to his wife, Shirley “Jewel” Smith, who is the mother of his two daughters.
Candice shared the happy news on social media on Friday, Sept. 27, around 4 p.m. She posted a series of pictures and a video showing the baby’s feet, with both parents’ hands touching him. The tattoos on the father’s arms gave away that J.R. Smith was the dad.

Candice Patton wrote in her post, “Son in Virgo. Born at home. Heart now beats outside of my chest. In love forevermore.” She didn’t say exactly when the baby was born, but it seems he was born in the last month.
A gossip site shared her post, including a picture that showed J.R. Smith’s tattoos. People’s comments on the post were a mix of congratulations and surprise.
People had a lot to say about Candice Patton and J.R. Smith’s baby news. One person wrote, “That’s not his wife?!” while another said, “Awww, he finally got his boy! But I thought he was back with his wife?”
One commenter reminded everyone, “Lmaooo I loved her down, but didn’t you say a few years ago you were going to pray for JR Smith’s wife after she accused you of having an affair? This is interesting.”
Others pointed out that Smith has been accused of cheating before. One person said, “He’s been cheating on his wife for years, starting with Tahiry Jose.”
Some people remembered when his wife called them out for having an affair. Another commenter asked, “Didn’t he have a problem with one of his kids being sick? Now he’s having more kids?”
One person even said, “The way he treated his wife, especially after her last difficult pregnancy, he won’t prosper.”
Five years ago, Smith’s wife, Jewel, publicly talked about the affair on Instagram Live and asked for divine help.
At the time, neither J.R. nor Candice confirmed or denied the relationship. But J.R. made a post on Instagram in December 2019, saying he and his wife had been separated for months. He added that Instagram wasn’t the right place for relationship updates.
Rumors about J.R. and Candice being together started after they were seen at a Halloween party in October 2019. A photo of them together was even posted by “Riverdale” star Vanessa Morgan.
Although J.R. said he and his wife were separated, they seemed to get back together briefly in January 2020 to celebrate one of their daughters’ birthdays.
Later in 2020, Jewel posted some photos on Instagram, and J.R. liked them, which led people to wonder if they were getting back together. However, if they did reconcile, it didn’t last long.
In 2022, J.R.’s daughter’s Instagram page wished him a Happy Father’s Day, and more recently, the account posted a message for his birthday on September 9, 2023.
J.R. now has four children. He’s currently a senior at North Carolina A&T and plays on the school’s golf team. He and Jewel have two daughters, Dakota (7) and Denver (4). J.R. also has a 15-year-old daughter, Demi, from a previous relationship, and Jewel has a daughter named Peyton from a relationship before she married J.R.
This small artifact has a big role in the home
Picture yourself in the warm embrace of a living room from the 1970s, with earthy-hued walls and a shag carpet that features unique, vibrant patterns.
A thin, inconspicuous object lies in the groove of a vinyl record sleeve in this retro-chic environment.
You ask, what is it? It’s nothing more than a simple hook, a throwback to earlier times spent around the house. Continue reading to learn more!
Think back to a period when windows were decked out in their Sunday finest, with pleated curtains hanging proudly to frame vistas of the city’s busy streets or the bucolic suburbs. The curtain hook functioned silently in the background, making sure that the cloth fell in lovely folds and created captivating patterns of light and shadow across the space.
However, the processes of home décor changed along with the sands of time. The once-ubiquitous curtain hook eventually vanished, to be replaced by fixtures that are more contemporary. Even so, the curtain hook’s significance has reduced over time, but it still serves as a moving reminder of a period of scrupulous attention to detail, when even the tiniest accents revealed a homeowner’s sense of style and concern.

The curtain hook is a sturdy reminder of tradition and simplicity in a world when technology rules and fashions change at an alarming rate. Its very existence acts as a gentle reminder that beauty may always be found in the eternal elegance of the past, even in the ever-changing landscape of modern living.
Take a moment the next time you see a curtain hook hidden beneath a mound of housekeeping odds and ends or tucked away in a neglected corner of an antique shop. Because concealed within that inconspicuous bit of metal is not only a useful fixture but also a small fragment of history, a modest reminder of the timeless allure of bygone eras.
