Dallas native and “Bachelorette” star JoJo Fletcher isn’t leaving her hometown after finding love in the ABC reality show. She and fiancé Jordan Rodger are leasing a 1,547-square-foot home in the M Streets.

Rhett Miller , the Old 97’s frontman and former East Dallas neighbor, shared his painful past as part of the Okay To Say movement, which encourages people to speak openly about personal experiences with mental illness, with the goal of reducing stigma and urging sufferers and their loved ones to seek help.

Miller says he’s “spent the better part of my life in and out of therapy, more in than out,” stressing how lucky he is to actually have access to such treatment. He describes a “particularly dark time” when he was about 14 years old and attempted suicide. “It was an attempt that probably should have worked but it didn’t, and I am so glad that it didn’t.” Following that he became acutely aware of his mental health, he says. That near-tragic day “doesn’t seem like 30 years ago,” he says.
