“Why get up and pack it all in and move? I really feel bad for gigi and papa. They went and even remodeled apart of their house for the grandkids and now Hailey is basically getting taken from them. Why move back when it’s all good there. This was Katie’s huge get away from the big house and live her own life. Now all of them will basically be on Gils watch. I just don’t understand it.”
“I think they moved looking for content. They probably figured they would have more near her family. Travis shouldn’t waste his time in Nashville. That isn’t going to happen. They will have to adjust to the Nashville music scene if they can even get in. It’s not going to work the other way around.”
“I think she has had a very very very hard time being away from her family.”
“Idk the real reason, but I hate the narrative that they’re taking Hailey away from her grandparents when they are moving closer to another set of grandparents.”
“I think it’s bc she’s pregnant and said she can’t do it without her family this time.”
