Stassi and Alex Stafford are back together for a full-circle catch-up that starts with a very overdue Happy Birthday to anyone who celebrated during the holiday break. They revisit Alex’s nomad era (and the “spaghetti martini” moment that delivered her boyfriend), then jump into Hartford’s fifth birthday party—K-Pop Demon Hunters theme and Stassi officially cementing herself as one of the best birthday-throwing moms out there. From there it’s Mom Gate: Ashley Tisdale’s recent essay, Hilary Duff + Mandy Moore alliance energy, the now-deleted husband post that said everything, and friend breakups without the drama.
