A baby’s birth is always cause for celebration, particularly when, after months of waiting, it’s time to finally see them in person. Nothing compares to touching our babies for the first time, even though ultrasounds allow us to glimpse them in the womb.
Babies frequently astonish us with their special qualities, such as adorable dimples or a hairy head. The most unexpected development, though, is when the child no longer resembles either of its parents.
This is what occurred to a family whose tale gained widespread attention and sparked internet rumors and speculation. Continue reading to learn what transpired.
At the Tennessee Celina 52 Truck Stop, Rachel works as a cashier. She gave birth to her son Cash Jamal Buckman on February 17. However, what caught people’s attention was that, although Cash appeared to be black, Rachel and her fiancé, Paul Buckman, are both white.
The truck stop wished Rachel luck with her new baby and shared a photo of the content family on Facebook.
The tweet said, “We are happy for our cashier Rachel and her fiancé Paul Buckman on the birth of their baby, Cash Jamal Buckman, on Saturday at 6:18 p.m.”
Nevertheless, the message drew criticism rather than support, with some speculating that Paul might not be Cash’s biological father.
Celina 52 Truck Stop updated their article to confirm that Paul is the father in response to the rumors. Due to her African American ancestry, Rachel may jump generations and give birth to a child who has darker complexion.
They concluded the post with the words “Please be kind,” and mentioned that Cash might have jaundice, which is common in newborns.
Internet jokes and queries persisted even after the truck stop responded.
Someone posted: “Happy birthday! He certainly looks like his father. What is his location?
Another person wrote, “Definitely needs a DNA test; what if they accidentally mixed up the kiddos in the nursery?”
Meanwhile, there were many who sympathized with Paul. “I feel bad for Paul, being duped like this is a whole new level of creep,” someone commented. Maybe he’ll come to his senses.
At that point, Rachel made the decision to take action on her own. She shared what she believed to be her DNA results on Facebook to demonstrate her ancestry.
Perhaps the results of my heritage DNA would dispel the naysayers’ claims that I [don’t] have black DNA. NOW QUIT discrediting my reputation and the name of my fiancé, Paul Buckman. “He truly is Lil Cash’s father,” she added.
However, the jokes persisted, and a good number of them ridiculed the circumstance and questioned the accuracy of the test findings.
It’s the strongest one percent I’ve ever seen. Someone said, “Looks like Maury has a job here.”
With comparable DNA, a second member commented, saying, “I have that too… and both my babies still look Irish as a boiled potato.”
The story swiftly gained popularity on social media, inspiring hundreds of individuals to share their feelings and opinions. Users from TikTok also jumped into the chat, contributing their own humorous perspectives on the situation.
Celina 52 Truck Stop announced that they would be administering polygraph and DNA testing to their employees in response to persistent rumors. The announcement incited even greater outrage, and many are now impatiently awaiting the conclusion of the probe.
This unexpected change of events has garnered a lot of attention, turning a routine birth announcement into a global sensation—even if nobody knows the whole truth.
Reba McEntire remembers the day she lost her band in a horrific plane crash 32 years ago
Reba McEntire won the Country Music Association’s “best singer” award four times in a row following her breakthrough in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Naturally, she is also honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
However, Reba has also had her fair share of personal traumas, so life has not always been easy for her, even with her amazing profession and wealth.
Reba’s mother Jacqueline, at 93 years old, lost her fight with illness in 2022.
She was completely prepared to pass away and had lived a lovely, long, and healthy life. The country music performer posted on social media, “The cancer may believe it has won the fight, but we’re giving God all the credit for choosing the time for her to go home to Him.”
Jacqueline McEntire’s desire of becoming a professional country singer was always realized when she taught Reba to sing, fulfilling her dream via her daughter.
We all know how much she loved us, and she left knowing how much love she had.Reba remarked, “We have so many amazing memories, but we’re going to miss her.

Reba is well aware of the suffering associated with loss and grief.
Thirty-two years ago on March 16, she lost her tour manager in a horrific plane crash after a concert, along with seven other band members.
I recall that 1991 day. I heard about the crash on the radio as I was heading to work. I felt my heart skip a beat, thinking that Reba was on the plane too.
She wasn’t, though.
After playing in San Diego on March 16, 1991, Reba and her band were on their way to Fort Wayne, Indiana, for their next tour stop.
At the airport in San Diego, two flights were waiting; Reba, her husband, and manager spent the night in San Diego, while the band members and tour manager traveled on ahead.
Ten miles east of the airport, the first aircraft tragically met its demise.
Reba has frequently honored her deceased friends throughout the years.
She opened out about the day her band broke up in an emotional 2012 interview with Oprah Winfrey.
“Everyone on board was killed when the airplane’s tip struck a rock on the side of Otay Mountain,” McEntire said to Winfrey.
“Our pilot was contacted, and Narvel, Reba’s manager, went to meet with him to inform us of what had occurred. When Narvel returned to my hotel room at two or three in the morning, he informed me that one of the planes had crashed. I said, “Are they okay?” In his words, “I don’t think so.” “But you’re not sure?” I asked. I don’t think so, he said.
Reba remembered the events of the disaster, tears welling up in her eyes.
“Narvel was calling from room to room while holding a phone,” she started, stopping when tears welled up in her eyes. “I apologize, but even after 20 years, it seems like it will never stop hurting,” she remarked. But that chamber is visible to me. Narvel is moving back and forth, as I can see.
It’s been 32 years since the crash. She recently recalled the terrible events of that day by sharing a picture of her band on Instagram.
She shared another homage to her friends in 2020.
“I lost my pals in a plane tragedy 29 years ago today. It seems fitting that Mama passed away on that anniversary,” she writes.
“I am aware that they are all together in Heaven, looking out for one another. Let’s continue to look out for one another while we’re still on this planet and never take a moment for granted to spend with our loved ones.
Soon after, Reba’s admirers rallied behind the country music icon.
Many folks sent prayers and good vibes.
“Reba I’ve always admired your music, our mutual love of horses, and now that I follow you on Instagram.May God bless you and your mother. A fan wrote.
Reba showed once more this year, in 2023, that she still grieves the terrible loss of her pals and that she will never forget them.
She posted a video of the group performing together along with the message, “Their love for music and the stage gives us all the strength to go on.”
I apologize, Reba. You are an amazing woman; stay strong. You make so many people happy that there is a reason God has preserved you on this planet. Keep grinning!
