Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

“Real Housewives of Orange County” star Jennifer Pedranti confirmed the “rumblings” Thursday that one of her sons was involved with starting a wildfire in Ladera Ranch, California, and is now facing “consequences.”

Pedranti did not name which son, but she shares four sons with ex-husband William Pedranti — 22-year-old Harrison, 19-year-old Dawson, 16-year-old Greyson and 12-year-old Dominic.

The former couple also share daughter Everleigh, 14.

“He and others were involved,” Jennifer wrote. “My ex husband and myself take this very serious. This behavior is unacceptable and we are deeply sorry to our community. This is a tough learning moment for our son and our family.”

“We were so thankful there was no property damage and nobody was hurt. The fire and police were absolutely amazing and gave these boys a lesson they will never forget,” she continued.

The reality star, 49, said that while there were no arrests made, their son will be disciplined.

“He will be taking a fire safety course to make sure a mistake like this never happens again,” she shared. “There are consequences within our family and we will make sure our son learns from this accident.”

The Ladera Ranch fire was reported at 4:45 p.m. local time Tuesday, but firefighters — both on the ground and in the air in a coordinated effort — were able to contain the flames after it spread across seven acres.

Firefighters were able to stop the blaze before it reached nearby homes.

According to Reuters, the brush fire broke out in the backyard hills of Ladera Ranch and prompted a rapid response from the Orange County Fire Authority, which used aircraft to drop fire retardant on the flames alongside ground crews.

Jennifer, who has been a main cast member on “RHOC” since Season 17, split from William in 2021 after nearly 20 years of marriage.

She got engaged to real estate developer Ryan Boyajian, 48, in April 2024.

Jennifer’s post about her son’s involvement in the Ladera Ranch wildfire comes the same day “The Real Housewives of Orange County” returns for its milestone 20th season on Bravo.

Dakota Mortensen was scolded by a judge for driving his and Taylor Frankie Paul’s 2-year-old son, Ever, on a motorcycle.

During Wednesday’s custody hearing, the “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” stars’ attorneys discussed an image of Mortensen, 33, and the toddler.

“We’re not gonna do motorcycles anymore,” Commissioner Russell Minas told Mortensen, advising the little one to ride on “nothing with anything less than four wheels.”

Mortense’s attorney replied, “The kid had a helmet. It is an e-bike. [It went] a short distance, a helmet was provided. In fact, the helmet is in the exhibit picture which is why it’s strange Taylor insisted [it wasn’t].”

The judge cut the lawyer off, asking, “The child is how old? 2?”

He doubled down, saying, “Not with a 2-year-old. Maybe with a 12-year-old. But even then. There’s no point, in my view. Basic safety, we generally require car seat or age-appropriate child restraints.”

Mortensen’s legal team confirmed the reality star would “do that moving forward.”

A source claimed to People on Wednesday that Mortensen “never rode far” with Ever.

An insider close to Paul, meanwhile, told the outlet the MomTok star, 32, was “happy” to have her parenting time expanded at the hearing.

Paul, notably, was granted Monday mornings with Ever on top of the alternating weekends she was given in June, as well as the single weekday visit.

The influencer is “look[ing] forward to continuing to make progress at the next hearing.”

Reps for Paul and Mortensen did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

The duo, whose on-again, off-again relationship began in 2022, have been engaged in a messy custody battle for months.

Mortensen was given temporary sole custody of Ever in March after accusing Paul of domestic violence — an investigation which, notably, led to prosecutors declining to press charges.

That same month, footage of the couple’s 2023 fight that led to Paul’s arrest resurfaced and her “Bachelorette” season was cancelled.

The Hulu personalities have each filed for protective orders against each other, which were mutually granted in April.

Taylor’s ex-husband, Tate Paul, filed for a restraining order against her earlier this month — but the request was denied.

The former couple, who were married between 2016 and 2022, share daughter Indy, 8, and son Ocean, 5.

Without naming names, Taylor implied Tate had “teamed up” with Mortensen to teach her a “lesson” via Instagram last week.

The judge reminded Taylor and Mortensen during Wednesday’s hearing not to speak ill of each other on social media.

Justin Baldoni is speaking out after settling his long legal battle with Blake Lively.

In a video the “Jane the Virgin” alum posted to Instagram Wednesday, his wife, Emily, said they were feeling “immense gratitude” for those who supported them since Lively first came forward with allegations against her “It Ends With Us” director and co-star in December 2024.

Justin, 42, noted, “Gratitude has saved us.”

That said, Emily explained that any thankfulness they have for support “doesn’t negate the injustice and the pain” they’ve felt over the past few years.

“We’ve had to wrestle with so many things and try to understand so many things, like how can something happen like this even happen — let alone disguised as a fight for women,” she said, acknowledging “there’s been a lot of trauma” for them to “move through as a family.”

The father of two explained why they waited so long to speak out.

“There have been so many painful things spoken into existence over the last couple years,” Justin said as his wife interjected, “Untruthful.”

“And that created so much noise, and we didn’t want to add to the noise,” he continued. “So we just wanted to let the justice system run its course.”

Emily chimed in, “And the truth and facts have spoken for themselves, and here we are.”

Justin said they are “healing” after going through a “traumatic” experience and expressed appreciation for fans who vocally supported them when they couldn’t speak for themselves.

“Thank you does not feel like enough,” he noted.

Justin and Lively, 38, settled their intense court battle stemming from their 2024 film “It Ends With Us” on May 4 — just two weeks before their trial was scheduled to begin.

The settlement came a month after a judge threw out 10 out of 13 of Lively’s claims, including her claim that Justin sexually harassed her.

In a joint statement to Page Six about their settlement, the two noted, “The end product — the movie ‘It Ends With Us’ — is a source of pride to all of us who worked to bring it to life. Raising awareness, and making a meaningful impact in the lives of domestic violence survivors — and all survivors — is a goal that we stand behind.”

They continued, “We acknowledge the process presented challenges and recognize concerns raised by Ms. Lively deserved to be heard.”

Both parties added that they “remain firmly committed to workplaces free of improprieties and unproductive environments” and it is their “sincere hope that this brings closure and allows all involved to move forward constructively and in peace, including a respectful environment online.”

Page Six confirmed that neither Lively nor Justin earned any money in their settlement.

However, both Lively and Justin’s legal teams made $60 million combined to sue and countersue one another, sources told Page Six Hollywood.

Just hours after the settlement, Lively attended the 2026 Met Gala, where she posed on the red carpet in a pastel archival Versace gown from 2006. A day later, her husband, Ryan Reynolds, also shared a carefree selfie of the two.

Justin also appeared unbothered after news of the settlement broke.

He and Emily were spotted in good spirits earlier this month in Nashville, Tennessee. The two held hands while visiting local eatery the Little Rad Market in exclusive pics obtained by Page Six.

In recent weeks, Lively demanded Justin pay more than $8 million in legal fees and spent time with her family in Upstate New York while former best friend Taylor Swift married Travis Kelce in a star-studded wedding at Madison Square Garden.

A source told Page Six that Swift believes “their friendship is done” after the pop star was dragged into Lively’s legal battle with Justin.
