JJ Lane and wife Kayla Hughes slam trolls on social media
Both JJ Lane and Kayla Hughes went to their Instagram accounts to share a family photo. The picture features JJ, Kayla and Gemma who is holding an ultrasound photo. JJ said, “Won’t be able to unwrap this present until July!”
Kayla shared the same photo and said, “The best gift wasn’t under the tree this year… Littlest Lane coming July 2022 💛🎁👶.”
There were tons of congratulations pouring in from other Bachelor alums and followers as there should be. However, one follower took it upon themselves to troll JJ and Kayla. A follower named Deborah said, “I think it’s important to acknowledge that Gemma is with you one weekend a month and [you’re] not present yourself as a full-time caretaker. Be real.”
JJ and Kayla both had responses for the troll. Kayla responded to Deborah saying, “I 1000 percent disagree.” She continued, “We make sure she is a part of our family as if she was with us full-time. I love her as if she’s my daughter because that’s the right thing to do in my eyes. I will never replace her mom, and I think her mom is a great parent. Doesn’t change the fact that she is our daughter whether she is at her mom’s or under our roof and will always be our daughter full-time.”
JJ also had words for Deborah. He said she needed to elaborate and asked what she knows about their family. He also said it sounded like she was friends with his ex-wife. JJ went on to say that Deborah is an “absolute disgrace” and he can’t imagine how miserable her life must be to make a comment as she did on such a special photo. He then concluded by saying she is the kind of person who hides behind a keyboard and would not have the courage to say it to his face.
Many followers also had their backs.
JJ’s time on the show
JJ Lane appeared on Season 11 of The Bachelorette. He also appeared on Season 2 of Bachelor in Paradise. He then met Kayla Hughes on his own and fell in love. JJ married her in February 2020 and the two reside in Colorado.
As for Gemma, JJ has briefly talked about his custody agreement with his ex. He mentioned that Gemma had moved with her mother to Houston in 2019. He also said he gets her one weekend a month and soaks up all the time they have together.
