Kathryn Dennis is just where she wants to be — surrounded by friends and family.
The Southern Charm star celebrated Thanksgiving with her two kids on Thursday at her friend and business partner Donna Steele’s house in North Carolina.
“She has a huge family so we are going to have a big celebration,” Dennis previously told PEOPLE of her holiday plans. “You know, when your mom is gone you have to come up with new traditions.”
While Dennis didn’t share a photo with her kids, daughter Kensington Calhoun, 5, and son Saint, 3, from the gathering, the reality star did pose in front of several gorgeous Christmas trees with Steele.
In more photos from the Instagram post, Dennis revealed the elaborate table scape and sweet place cards that awaited each guest at the holiday dinner table. She showed off two cards that read her children’s names and the words, “thankful for you,” addressed to the “sweet” children.
“gorgeous thanksgiving at the Steele’s! paired with a Christmas tree, of course #youalreadyknowthevibes ” she wrote in her caption, clearly ready to get into the Christmas spirit.

The special occasion marks the first holiday Dennis has spent with her kids since finalizing her custody agreement with ex Thomas Ravenel earlier this month.
“I feel good that we actually are moving forward,” she told PEOPLE at the time. “I feel like we had been at a stand still and my whole life has been stunted from that. It feels like a huge weight has been lifted.”
Ravenel, 57, and Dennis, 28, have agreed to share joint legal and physical custody of Kensington and Saint, with Ravenel having “primary legal custody,” his lawyer told PEOPLE.

“The parties’ custody agreement awarded Mr. Ravenel primary legal custody of the minor children,” his lawyer said in a statement. “The parties currently share physical custody of the children on a 36%/64% split, with Ms. Dennis having the children five out of fourteen overnights and Mr. Ravenel having the children nine out of fourteen overnights. This time-sharing arrangement is scheduled to change in the Summer of 2020, whereby the parties will then share physical custody of the children on a 50/50 week-on week-off basis. Ms. Dennis is required to employ a nanny during the majority of her time with the children and Mr. Ravenel has agreed to pay the nanny’s salary in lieu of child support.”
Their agreement comes three years after Dennis lost full custody of her children in 2016 and entered rehab after testing positive for marijuana. Ravenel, who no longer stars on Southern Charm, was awarded full custody at the time.
In October 2018, she filed documents in Charleston seeking to obtain primary custody of the two children after Ravenel was arrested and charged with assault and battery in the second degree. Ravenel pleaded guilty in September to third-degree assault and battery after his children’s former nanny accused him of rape. He agreed to pay a $500 fine in lieu of a 30-day jail sentence.
Ravenel and Nanny Dawn, 44 — who asked that she be publicly identified by her first name and occupation for her own privacy — reached a $125,000 settlement in October, with Ravenel agreeing to pay $45,000 in her personal legal fees and an additional $80,000 to a local nonprofit aiding adult survivors of sexual assault.

One Washington Post restaurant critic unwittingly exposed a man for cheating on his wife — at least that’s what one woman is thanking him for this week.
In Tom Sietsema’s weekly live chat column, Ask Tom, one anonymous commenter didn’t so much have a question as a bit of a strange thank you note.
“Well Tom your latest review is accompanied by a picture of my husband dining with a woman who isn’t me!” she wrote on Wednesday’s column, nestled between other commenters inquiring after romantic dinner spots and restaurant recommendations in Charleston, South Carolina.
“Once confronted with photographic evidence, he confessed to having an ongoing affair,” she continued. “Just thought you’d be amused to hear of your part in the drama. This Thanksgiving I’m grateful to you for exposing a cheat!”
Ask Tom columnThe Washington PostSietsema was seemingly dumbfounded by this revelation, writing back that he’d “hate” to know that the commenter’s claim was indeed true.
“Please, please, please tell me this is a crank post,” the food critic wrote. “I’d hate to learn otherwise. I file two reviews a week, for Food and the Magazine, so I’m not sure which restaurant this is.”

Sietsema later shared the comment on his Twitter, giving other Washington, D.C. area diners a warning.
“So, this popped up on my live online food chat today. Cheaters, take heed!” he wrote on Twitter along with a screenshot of the interaction.
He also retweeted another user’s tweet about his surreal experience that included a GIF of Gordon Ramsay covering his face with his hands, and the comment, “This is how I imagine @tomsietsema reacting to that woman’s Thank You note for his chat today. Whoa!”
Midland‘s newest junior member has arrived!
The country trio’s lead vocalist Mark Wystrach welcomed his first child with his wife, Outdoor Voices founder and CEO Ty Haney. The couple announced the birth of their baby girl on Instagram Friday.
“Sundance ‘Sunny’ Leon came into this world with a bang! It’s been a wild and unexpected week in the hospital, but we are all doing great and loving being together!” the new mom, 31, captioned a family selfie featuring their newborn.
“So grateful for our amazing doctors and nurses who have taken the best care of us and to our friends and family for all the love, prayers and support! The power of love and positivity is real,” she said. “Lil Baby Sunny is strong, beautiful and an absolute joy! We’ve gotten a clean bill of health and we’re going home tomorrow. Yeehaw! The adventure has begun!!!”

The couple confirmed their pregnancy to PEOPLE in July, with Wystrach sharing that they were “thrilled and terrified (haha) to go through this beautiful, life-changing experience and start a little beautiful family together.”
“I really do believe in timing,” Wystrach, 39, said, explaining that he and his twin brother Mike were expecting daughters around the same time. “The fact that we are both having baby girls within three weeks of each other, both getting engaged, both getting married, all at the same time — it’s pretty amazing.”
In an interview with PEOPLE on the 2019 CMA Awards red carpet earlier this month, the “Drinkin’ Problem” singer said that as a first-time dad, he was “looking most forward to getting to spend quality time at the beginning and just go through this experience one moment at a time.”
“I can’t wait to look through my daughter’s eyes in this world, and I think that’s really what’s going to be the big transformation. And you know, you gotta trust the timing of your life,” Wystrach added. “I’ve done a pretty good job of walking the line, but there’s nothing like getting ready to have a little daughter to really get you to face your shortcomings and make sure you’re the man you want your daughter to meet.”

Wystrach and Haney announced their engagement on Instagram in late May, and tied the knot this past October in an outdoor ceremony at The Contemporary Austin Laguna Gloria, followed by an evening celebration at the Hotel Saint Cecilia in Austin, Texas.
Alongside a slideshow of photos from their wedding day, the then-mom-to-be wrote, “Made it Official . Love you Mr. Husbandry @markaroo

The country singer shared his own set of images, which showed the newlyweds posing with a few family members and their dogs at the low-key, romantic event.

Eva Amurri Martino and Kyle Martino are spending Thanksgiving together in Connecticut almost two weeks after announcing their split.
“We pretty much had the Thanksgiving from Hell (Tummy bug extraordinaire ) but the best day today. All five of us!” the mom-to-be, 34, captioned a family selfie on Instagram Friday.
Amid their separation, their children appear to be splitting up Christmas decorations. “The tree is decorated and the kids even picked out which half of the ornaments are going to their tree at Daddy’s house. Feeling lots of modern love this holiday season,” she shared, along with the hashtag #DoLoveYourWay.
The pair, who are expecting their third child together, share son Major James, 3, and daughter Marlowe Mae, 5. They announced they had “made the difficult decision to lovingly part ways as a couple” on Nov. 15.
Also during the holiday celebration, the actress — who is the daughter of actress Susan Sarandon — quoted her daughter on Instagram Story, writing, “We had a great holiday with Dad!” However, the pregnant star also referenced the pair’s split when they were in close quarters together. “@kylemartino is still trying to torture me even in divorce,” she joked.

Amurri Martino and Martino have remained on good terms amid their split. As the NBC Sports analyst, 38, announced he was moving out last week, the actress posted a photo of herself wearing a sentimental ring, which she received from her husband in October.
“Def rocking this gorgeous friendship ring Kyle gave me on our anniversary this year to commemorate our 8 year marriage,” she wrote alongside the smiling snap, before reflecting on how difficult their split has been.
“It really doesn’t matter how good of friends you are and how ‘right’ the decision is — there are moments in the process of a divorce that are just absolutely brutal for the soul and very scary as newly single mom of almost 3 kids,” she wrote on her Instagram Story. “I know it all will get easier and better and there are good and bad days.”
Amurri Martino added, “Trying to hold it together for my precious kiddos who mean the world to us and deserve the best and healthiest life possible. They are my North Star.”

Martino had previously documented his move on Instagram, sharing a photo of Amurri Martino cuddled together with their kids. “Move out day. Couldn’t have asked for a better send-off crew,” he captioned his Instagram post. “I love you guys so much and will always be your dad in our beautiful family.”
The pair revealed the news of their split alongside a family photo with their kids on Nov. 15.
“Our family is starting down a new path,” the caption on their identical posts read. “After a lot of thoughtful consideration, and work on our relationship, we have made the difficult decision to lovingly part ways as a couple.”
“We are committed to, and excited about, raising our three beautiful children as close friends and deep partners, and we have the utmost respect for one another,” the pair continued. “We have realized over time that the best path to happiness for us as a family is in this different direction, and we look forward to forging ahead into a new beautiful relationship.”
Amurri Martino has been honest about the challenges she and her NBC Sports analyst husband have faced as a couple over the years.
After revealing their pregnancy news and baby on the way’s sex in September, she shared on her blog Happily Eva After that “one of the biggest things” she and her husband “have had to work on in our marriage is our different views of gender roles when it pertains to parenting,” saying Martino “was involved the bare minimum in helping me with the kids” for years, “even though I was working full time.”
“It took a lot of therapy for us to get on the same page and work through how our own backgrounds lead to a lot of clashes in this department,” Amurri Martino said at the time. “We’ve come a long way, but we still continue to work on this dynamic in our relationship.”
When it comes to their safety, the Kardashian-Jenner family takes security very seriously.
During a discussion with her fellow contestants on a recent episode of the British reality series I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, Caitlyn Jenner said that the Keeping Up with the Kardashians brood has a security team with them “everywhere” they go.
“Do you guys have to have security everywhere you go?” asked actor Cliff Parisi.
“Everywhere,” said Caitlyn, 70.
She also estimated that her youngest daughter, 22-year-old Kylie Jenner — who recently sold a 51 percent stake in her Kylie Cosmetics brand to beauty conglomerate Coty for $600 million — spends hundreds of thousands of dollars per month in protection.
“I bet you Kylie will spend anywhere between and $400,000 a month,” said Caitlyn. “A ton of money.”
Caitlyn, who also shares daughter 24-year-old Kendall Jenner with ex Kris Jenner, confirmed that security follows Kylie “everywhere.”
While the former Olympian admitted “it’s sad” that her children always have a team following them, she explained that they’ve grown accustomed to it over time.
“They’re used to it. They’ve been doing it forever,” said Caitlyn. “They like the security guys there.”

Caitlyn’s comments come more than two years after Kris, 64, said in June 2017 she and her children made security their first priority after Kim Kardashian West was robbed at gunpoint in Paris in the fall of 2016.
“It really changed all of our lives and the way that we live,” the famous momager admitted during The Hollywood Reporter’s reality TV roundtable.
Kardashian West, 39, was alone in her No Address Hotel room during Paris Fashion week when multiple masked men broke in and bound, gagged and robbed the KUWTK star of millions of dollars worth of jewels. Immediately following the heist, Kardashian West retreated from the public eye for three months, and her husband, Kanye West, increased the amount of security surrounding the family.
Not only did the terrifying incident change the way that Kardashian West lived — her family also followed suit.
“Not only do we now have an enormous amount of security — everyone is armed and licensed; it’s legit companies that protect all of us — but also the way that we deal with our lives on social media took a huge turn: what we show, what we don’t show,” said Kris. “If we go to Disneyland, we’re not snapping pictures with Dumbo; we’ll wait until we leave and then share something we want to share. But it also gave us great pause about what to share.”
Of the items that were stolen from Kardashian West was a 20-carat, emerald cut Lorraine Schwartz ring that West gave her, which she flaunted on social media prior to the break-in. Since the theft, Kris and her family drastically (and intentionally) changed what they decide to reveal to their social media audiences.

“There is nothing wrong with working hard and getting something wonderful for yourself if you want to or that’s what you’re into, but I think the way that we share it with other people really changed,” said Kris. “You think five times about what you’re going to put out there on social media.”
In addition to having security when they are out and about, Kardashian West has made her home a (very) safe haven.
Earlier this year, in Vogue’s May cover story, writer Jonathan Van Meter visited the Kardashian-West estate in Hidden Hills, California, and reported on some surprising details about the couple’s $60 million home.
“I had to pass through layers of Pentagon-level security and hesitated at their forbidding front door, which looks like it might be lowered over a moat, before deciding to walk around the side and enter through the garage like a normal person,” Van Meter wrote of the entrance to their massive abode.
In the garage, he said, there is a “security pod, manned 24 hours a day” along with a wall of shelves to hold boxes of Adidas Yeezy sneakers and another wall with black suitcases.
Richard Sherman gave back to his community ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.
The San Francisco 49ers cornerback, 31, helped eliminate the outstanding cafeteria debt at Cabrillo Middle School in Santa Clara, California.
“Richard Sherman pulled me from my shift as a docent in the 49ers Museum to give me a personal check for $7,491.27 to cover Cabrillo Middle School’s cafeteria debt,” school principal Stan Garber said in a statement. “Richard’s gesture created such good will for the 49ers that they went on to sack Aaron Roger’s and the Green Bay Packers the next day on national tv by a score of 37-8.”
The athlete’s foundation, Blanket Coverage – The Richard Sherman Family Foundation, also sent a letter to the school’s Nutrition Services Department, according to local news outlet KPIX.
“We have found that eliminating student lunch debt is one way to help assist students and their families in relieving some of the stress that comes with attending school on a daily basis,” the letter read. “The last thing any child should have to worry about is being able to afford eating breakfast and lunch at school; we aim to do our part in eliminating that obstacle.”

“It’s the most generous thing to happen for these kids, there’s plenty in need and he didn’t neglect them, it was the perfect way to give back and help them,” Garber told ABC News about the 60 students that will benefit from Sherman’s contribution. “It was the kindest most generous gesture.”
Following news of Sherman’s donation, the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) named him as the Week 11 Community MVP. In addition to the over $7,000 to the Santa Clara school, earlier this month, Sherman wrote a check for over $20,000 to the Tacoma Public Schools in Tacoma, Washington to eliminate their student’s lunch debt, according to NBC Sports.
This isn’t the only act of kindness Sherman has generously performed this season.
The NFL star, who formerly played with the Seattle Seahawks, donated food to the Sumner High School food drive in Washington.
And earlier this month, Sherman also donated $5,000, via GoFundMe page, to help a Pop Warner team in his hometown of Compton, California travel to the National Youth Championship in Florida next month.
