This comes after a whirlwind year: he married Agripina Polushkin twice (Vegas Elvis ceremony, then Cancun bash), stayed vocal on politics, and clarified he already paid his son Corey’s medical bills after his motorcycle accident — no need for GoFundMe drama. Even promoted cargo shorts online this week. Health surprises? Yeah. But family’s by his side — and fans are watching closely as he returns to form.
