Sonja Morgan finally bids farewell to beloved NYC townhouse
Sonja Morgan, former star of “Real Housewives of New York City,” has officially moved out of her cherished New York City townhouse. After selling the property during an auction in May, Morgan, 60, documented her big move on Instagram, sharing moments of movers packing up her home.
In a heartfelt caption accompanying one of her Instagram Reels, Morgan reminisced about the memories created in her townhouse. From raising her daughter to hosting unforgettable dinner parties and filming iconic ‘Real Housewives’ scenes, the stately brownstone held a special place in her heart. She described it as a sanctuary filled with laughter and love, but now she’s ready to embrace a new chapter in her life as an artist.
The emotional journey of moving out was captured in the Reel, showcasing Morgan brushing her teeth one last time in the 5-bedroom, 4,650-square-foot residence. She shared her excitement about passing on the home to its next owner, who will undoubtedly create their own wonderful memories there.
One humorous moment among the moving process was when Morgan asked the movers to pack up her koi fish, which she had owned for over 29 years. Unfortunately, one of the fish was discovered dead, leading to a bittersweet farewell as she prepared for a proper burial.
Despite the sentimental moments, Morgan expressed relief and described the move as a “weight lifted off [her] shoulders.” The townhouse, which she purchased in 1998 with her then-husband, J.P. Morgan’s heir John Morgan for $9.1 million, has been a symbol of family memories for decades. However, as she moves forward, Sonja believes it’s time for someone else to build their own memories in the cherished home.
Sonja’s journey with the townhouse had its ups and downs, as she initially listed it for sale in 2013 following her divorce. After unsuccessful attempts to sell and rent out the property, she finally found a buyer during the auction in May for $4.45 million.
As she bids farewell to her beloved townhouse, Sonja is looking forward to new opportunities and pursuits. The move signifies a fresh start and a chance to focus on her creativity and other important endeavors. With a mix of nostalgia and excitement, Sonja Morgan has officially closed the chapter on this iconic chapter of her life.

Taylor Frankie Paul’s ex Dakota Mortensen scolded by judge for son, 2, riding motorcycle

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 breaks silence on shocking Blake Lively settlement

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.

Why Charles Barkley declined invitation to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding

Charles Barkley revealed that he turned down an invitation to attend Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s New York City wedding.
“I don’t go to weddings and funerals,” the NBA legend said on the “Unfiltered With Ricky Bo & Bill Colarulo” podcast Tuesday.
“I did get an invite, and I politely declined. Because I thought it was gonna be a crap show,” he added.
“I love Travis and Jason [Kelce]. I’ve only met Taylor one time. But yeah, I did get an invite but I said, ‘Hey, that’s just too much,’” Barkley, 63, shared.
The “Inside the NBA” host said he just wants to “hang out and play golf” in his spare time.
“I don’t wanna dress up and all that other stuff,” he said. “But I appreciate the invitation; it was pretty special.”
Barkley isn’t the only celebrity who opted to skip the Kansas City Chiefs star and the “Bad Blood” singer’s big day.
On Monday, Ryan Seacrest revealed that he actually confirmed to attend the ceremony and didn’t go.
“I RSVP’d to go, and then Disney hired me to do the Fourth of July 250 special on the 3rd and the 4th,” the “American Idol” host explained on his radio show. “So, I had to cancel.”
Seacrest, 51, said he felt “kind of torn” about the decision but “couldn’t have done both” due to the scheduling.
The “Shrek Forever After” voice actor said though he was “so honored and thrilled to be invited,” he “had no choice” but to skip the nuptials since “it’s part of [his] job at Disney to do these things.”
Swift and Kelce, both 36, exchanged 20-minute vows in front of more than an estimated 1,000 guests at Madison Square Garden last Friday.
The wedding was officiated by comedian Adam Sandler and featured a garden theme.
The pop star and the tight end wore Christian Dior Haute Couture to say “I do” and Swift reportedly walked down the aisle to her 2008 hit song “Love Story.”
Guests won lavish prizes during the reception, including designer bags and Cartier watches.
