In the latest celebrity gossip, Kendall and Kylie Jenner were spotted getting friendly with rappers Chris Brown and Trey Songz. In a photo on Songz’s Intagram, the Jenner girls were cozy with the two at a house party. It’s a scandalous combination, with the girls being only 16 and 18 and the men being 25 and 29. Not only that, but Brown is a convicted felon who just got out of jail in June after violated his probation in the Rihanna domestic abuse case. According to UsMagazine.com, mother Kris Jenner might not be too happy about her daughters’ new friends. Only time will tell if these new celebrity couples are the real deal!
New celebrity couples can be seriously scandalous. What do you do if your friends are dating someone you don’t approve of?
Cupid’s Advice:
We love our friends, but sometimes, they just make really stupid decisions. They may date absolutely terrible people that we don’t approve of, and yet, they insist that we “just don’t get it.” As much as you just want to knock some sense into these people, hold on and take a step back. Here are some ways to give your friend dating advice if they’re seeing someone you don’t approve of:
1. Gang up on them: Go full-out intervention style and have a group of friends around when you talk about this issue. They’re more likely to listen to a group of people than just one person. And if you can’t find other people who don’t approve of this relationship and love, maybe it’s a sign you need to rethink your position.

2. Bring up specific examples: It’s really easy to just brush off comments like “he’s so rude” or “she’s really obnoxious” if you can’t name times when these things were true. To drive your point home, name some specific instances when your friend’s partner did something you thought was a red flag.

3. Give them your support, no matter what: Don’t use ultimatums like “either you break up with them, or we’re not friends anymore”. That just shows a huge lack of support, and you can’t guarantee they’ll even choose you. Just let your friend know that while you think the relationship is a really bad idea, you’ll support them no matter what. It’s what a real friend would do.
