Josh Murray - BIP - Famously Single - Season 3 - *Sleuthing - Spoilers* #3

Congrats Josh you got your perfect family. If only you could have made a better proposal to Amanda then bring up your past relationship/engagement along with similar wording.

Amanda's kids' faces totally read: WTF in the IG family pic . I can't get enough of it.

The #mynewfamily hashtag on the beach photo made me gag a little. These girls already have an involved father, right? I get that some families have a "The More the Merrier" mentality when it comes to new relationships, but the media spin (to me) appears a little too fairy-tale-ish for my liking--he's trying to fill a void that doesn't exist.

Seems like they have a long road ahead of them.

^^^ And so begins a return trip down that same bumpy road to Splitsville.

Will this one end in a tell all book too?

The kids both have identical WTF expressions on their faces.  Hybrid between shock and anger. The one on Josh literally is glaring, imo.

I think the expressions are more "can we stop posing for pictures now and just play on the beach?".  Very real for those of us who've tried to photograph small children.

I'm sad to see the ET article though. But I'm not surprised they've had a rough road with all the negativity they've been dealing with and the blending of a family.  The true test is if they can overcome it all and make it work. Still rooting for them.

Then IMO, quit torturing the kids for the perfect picture and leave them out of it.
They don't need to be there unless the message had to have them there in which case, it backfired.
This is yet again another case of making an appearance of perfect picture. Nothing is perfect. A photo montage of goofing would have been better imo.

*sigh* If only the Duhhh would just shut up and know her place there wouldn't even be a bumpy road. This is what happens when women have opinions and chit.

Oh wow! Broken up a couple of times during their 4 month relationship. That doesn't sound promising.

IMO, it is a cop out to blame any break-up on the negativity regarding them, since the article states that some of those came even before he moved to California, due to the distance. And at that point, the season hadn't even started airing yet. So there was no "edit" yet to blame or any backlash from viewers.

Frankly this sounds more like a cautionary tale of why you don't rush into engagements when in Amanda's case you already have one failed marriage under your belt and have two small kids and on Josh's end, at 32, you haven't had one long term relationship in your life. None of that is a recipie for success in my opinion.
