Chip and Joanna Gaines’ Magnolia app is set to launch on July 15, 2021, it was announced Thursday. On cable, Discovery’s DIY Network will rebrand as the Magnolia Network in January 2022.

The Magnolia app will be a free add-on for Discovery+ subscribers. That wasn’t always the plan — or at least, it was not always the extent of the plan. Originally, the partnership between Discovery, Inc. and the Gaineses was going to result in the linear cable channel (DIY), a TV Everywhere app and a standalone Magnolia SVOD service. However, the creation and recent launch of the all-encompassing Discovery+ streaming service changed the plans for that final piece.

In addition to episodic entertainment content, the Magnolia app will also include workshops, recipes and have a retail shopping platform, among other functionalities. So there will still be plenty of opportunities for monetization.

The 41-year-old Hgtv star took to Instagram on Monday, April 2 to slam online haters criticizing her decision to still breastfeed her nearly three-year-old son, Harper, amid her ongoing and messy custody battle with the child's father. "I'm getting bashed on People.com for extended breastfeeding and accused of alienating a father... again. I'm posting this and I'm saying — mamas out there in similar situations, Don't Hide. It is one hundred percent natural to still nurse your child — your body was made for it," she captioned a throwback photo of herself in labor. "And if you are going [through] a pregnancy or motherhood alone — Load Up on good people to support you. I labored for 13+ hours and my best friend is pictured on the right rubbing my shoulders and my doula on the left," Nicole continued. "Note, no supportive, excited father and that's okay, but any woman...

Nicole Curtis is trading in her tool belt for flip flops as she and son Harper enjoy a Florida vacation.

The Rehab Addict star and her 33-month-old son have ditched the Detroit winter for some sunshine and drama-free family time in New Smyrna Beach, where they’ve been playing in the sand, flying kites and visiting Curtis’s grandfather. “Happy to hang with our papa who reminded me that we don’t have many years left….now you know why I needed the ice cream. Love your old people, people,” she writes on alongside a photo of her and Harper indulging in some frozen treats.

Nicole Curtis “is in the process of weaning” her 30-month-old son, Harper, off of breastfeeding.

In court documents filed Nov. 27 to the State of Michigan and obtained by The Blast, Curtis clarified her current parenting time order and asked that the court deny her ex Shane Anthony Maguire’s request for additional parenting time with their young son.

According to Curtis’ filing, her “breast-feeding of the minor child does not interfere with parenting time. While is in the process of weaning the minor child, this is a complete ‘non-issue’ in this matter.”

Curtis’ response comes weeks after Maguire requested in court documents filed Nov.

Nicole Curtis is an outspoken advocate of breastfeeding — even during a primping and pampering session.

The Rehab Addict star posted an Instagram on Thursday of herself breastfeeding son Harper, 2½, while leaning back to get her eyebrows shaped.

“Just sharing for all the moms out there who always have a kiddo or two in tow my eyebrow appointment today –Edwin somehow manages to keep both of them on my face while my little one goes from nursing to playing horsey in my lap :),” she captioned the photo. “#normalizebreastfeeding and let’s remember the rest of the world weans way past...

Rehab Addict star Nicole Curtis has been embroiled in a vicious two-year custody battle for her 30-month-old son, Harper, and says the entire process has been “heart-wrenching.”

The Diy star stunned fans when she revealed she was pregnant for the second time in 2015, a fact she had first decided to keep secret.

“I was worried about being judged,” Curtis, 41, tells People in this week’s issue. “It was a very difficult time for me. There I was, almost 40, having another child on my own.”

Already a single mom to son Ethan, 19, Curtis had every intention of raising Harper, 2 1/2, without help.

Nicole Curtis’ Ex Requests More Parenting Time After She Defends Decision to Continue Breastfeeding

Nicole Curtis‘ ex is requesting that his parenting time with their 2½-year-old son, Harper, be increased.

According to court documents filed Nov. 13 in the State of Michigan’s Circuit Court for Oakland County Family Division obtained by The Blast, Shane Anthony Maguire is requesting to clarify the former couple’s current parenting order — and asking to expand his parenting time.

Maguire’s filing comes amid the pair’s “heart-wrenching” two-year custody battle and just days after Curtis, 54, opened up to People last week about her decision to continue breastfeeding their 30-month-old.

For Nicole Curtis, her journey toward being a great mom is a flexible one.

The Rehab Addict star told People during a recent sit-down for Celeb Parents Get Real that she thinks her best quality as a mother is her willingness to switch up her techniques and always be learning.

“I’m always open to being a better parent,” said Curtis, 41, who is mom to sons Harper, 2½, and Ethan, 19. “There is no ‘I’m the best parent,’ there is no, ‘I’m the parent, you’re right’ — you have to be open to change.”

“You don’t know that going into parenthood,...

I truly believe it’s the child’s choice.”

On Wednesday, the Diy Network star posted an exchange she engaged in on social media,...

Nicole Curtis has gotten used to getting heat about her choice to continue breastfeeding her 2 1/2-year-old son, Harper.

“I keep saying, it’s not like he’s 7 or 8 — he’s still a baby,” she says, as the 30-month-old pushes away his lunch of pasta, and reaches for her breast to nurse during a People photoshoot at her home in Detroit this summer.

“Every single day I have to weather criticism about how my child is too old to breastfeed,” she says. “But when he weans, it’s going to be his decision. I truly believe it’s the child’s choice.

You know her for her bubbly personality, adorable children and of course, her amazing home renovations. But Rehab Addict star Nicole Curtis has another stand-out signature trait: her crazy-long, hip-length blonde hair, which will soon be chopped off.

Curtis proudly shares that her bright golden locks, which fall far below her waist, are not the result of extensions. Instead, they’re her natural strands, which she has been growing so she can donate them. And as far as we can tell, she hasn’t had a major chop in quite a few years.

“The hair is almost there for my donation goal #rapunzel #noextensions,...
