Donna Kelce and Ed Kelce stepped out in support of a new docuseries featuring their son Travis Kelce.
Attending the Sunday, August 24, Kansas City red carpet premiere of ESPN’s six-part The Kingdom, Donna, 72, and ex-husband Ed, 74, individually stopped and spoke with reporters about their adoration for Travis, 35.
Travis, whose early days with girlfriend Taylor Swift is explored in the series, was also in attendance, posing for photos on his own in a tailored charcoal suit and dark sunglasses. He paired the sleek ensemble with his famous wide grin before flashing a peace sign at photographers.
Donna, who split from Ed after 25 years of marriage after Travis and older brother Jason Kelce graduated from college, said in a red carpet interview shared via YouTube’s “Sports Videos on SI” account on Sunday evening that she was proud of her two boys.
Ed Kelce/Instagram; Donna Kelce/Instagram Ed Kelce and Donna Kelce may no longer be married — but they still have a great friendship. The twosome met in the late ‘70s and welcomed son Jason Kelce in 1987 followed by son Travis Kelce two years later. After 25 years of marriage, the former couple called it quits […]
“I know my children and I know the people that surround them and they’re just two very special individuals,” Donna was seen telling a group of reporters in the video. “They just have a knack of being able to be relatable individuals. It’s been so much fun over the years just being able to do and see and be introduced to people I never thought that I’d meet.”
Donna also replied to a reporter who asked if she’d listened “to any good podcasts lately,” a question that cheekily referred to Travis and Jason’s “New Heights” podcast episode that saw guest star Swift, 35, unveil details into her forthcoming 12th studio album.

“That was very enlightening … just a fun interaction between family … and I think when they [Travis and Jason] interview individuals they bring the best out of them and make them confident,” Donna said. “They [guest interviewees] feel safe. Individuals feel safe with them, that they’re not going to do something that they shouldn’t be doing or asking.”
For Ed’s part, he spoke to the same group of reporters separately, as captured via a YouTube clip posted by the same account on Sunday. In the video, Ed was seen telling the reporters that he is “just very happy for him [Travis].”
He also spoke directly about Travis’ relationship with Swift: “They are two people that truly deserve each other.”

Ed also commented on the family’s newfound spotlight, noting that he wasn’t “quite as much … red carpet life” as “our mom is,” but he was glad to “just share my joy with these boys.”
Elsewhere on the evening’s red carpet, Travis’ Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes posed for photos alongside wife Brittany Mahomes. The pair were captured laughing with one another and gazing adoringly into each other’s eyes as they enjoyed a rare date night. (Patrick, 29, and Brittany, also 29, share three children: daughter Sterling, 4, son Bronze, 2, and another daughter, Golden, 7 months.)

All six episodes of The Kingdom are now available on ESPN+.
The “BFFs” podcast cohost announced on Wednesday, October 30, that she is taking a break from the popular Barstool Sports podcast she hosts with Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards following her split from country singer Zach Bryan.
“Hey guys! We tried to record this week but I am having a very hard time figuring out how I want to handle this publicly due to all the backlash,” LaPaglia, 25, shared in a message posted via the podcast’s TikTok account.
The message continued, “I am going to put my mental health first this week. Josh and Dave want to make sure I do what’s best for me. I need to prioritize the right things this week. I hope you can all understand.”
More details are coming to light regarding Zach Bryan and Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia’s unexpected breakup. “[Brianna] was blindsided by Zach being on dating apps and dating around while they had been in a committed relationship,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. “Someone sent her Zach’s Raya profile and girls were reaching out about him dating […]
Bryan, 28, announced his split from LaPaglia after one year of dating on October 22, though LaPaglia admitted she felt blindsided by the breakup.
“Addressing something: Brianna and me have broken up with eachother [SIC] and I respect and love her with every ounce of my heart,” the country singer shared in an Instagram Story statement. “She has loved me unconditionally for a very long time and for that I’ll always thank her.”
He continued: “I’ve had an incredibly hard year personally and struggled through some pretty severe things. I thought it would be beneficial for both of us to go out different ways. I am not perfect and never will be.”

LaPaglia responded via her Instagram Story by revealing she didn’t see Bryan’s public post coming.
“Hey guys I’m feeling really blindsided right now. Gonna hop off social media for a while and attempt to heal privately, when I’m ready I’ll be back and ready to talk,” she wrote.“I love you guys so much thank you for all of your kind words. Remember you are so loved and everything’s always gonna be OK.”
Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia made a name for herself online way before dating Zach Bryan. LaPaglia started working for Barstool Sports as an intern in 2020. Shortly after joining the company, they offered her a full-time role that came with her own podcast. The “PlanBri Uncut” brand was born when LaPaglia told listeners […]
“How can you, like, give every ounce of yourself to someone and then, like, be discarded of in a few days,” LaPaglia said. “It’s really, really heartbreaking and I don’t want to talk about details right now.”
Getty Images (2) Zach Bryan and Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia were together for a little over a year before their relationship took a shocking turn. In October 2024, Bryan posted a statement on social media revealing that he and LaPaglia had split. (The pair went public with their relationship in July 2023.) “I respect and love […]
LaPaglia’s “BFFs” cohost Portnoy slammed Bryan during an appearance on “The Unnamed Show” podcast on Thursday, October 24, branding the singer an “insecure baby.”
Now a year removed from her separation from Joe Jonas,Sophie Turner can reflect on her marriage and all that came with it.
Now living in west London after moving to the United States with Jonas, Turner, 28, has embraced motherhood and is focused on setting an example for her two daughters, Willa and Delphine, who she shares with Jonas.
“Before I had kids, I was very depressed and anxious, and I would isolate [myself] a lot,” she told Harper’s Bazaar in a story published Wednesday, October 30. “Now, I think I live my life for them. I want them to see me having a social life and enjoying work and thriving in my career and relationships.”
It took a lot for Turner to get there. Jonas filed for divorce in September 2023, setting off a custody battle and legal proceedings that remain ongoing. Reflecting on the past year, Turner says her latest project, “kind of a horror film” with her Game of Thrones costar Kit Harrington, mirrored her real-life experience.
“It was a very cathartic experience for me,” she said. “It was a chance to let out some serious anger, which was fun. So that felt right for me to do.”
Though she has now moved on from her relationship with Jonas, Turner can look back on the good times.
“I’m going through a legal process right now where I can’t really say much, but it was incredibly sad,” she said. “We had a beautiful relationship, and it was hard.”

One of the toughest parts of that time in her life was being away from home. She and Jonas married in Las Vegas, then lived together in Los Angeles and Miami.
VALERIE MACON/AFP via Getty Images Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner‘s divorce came as a shock to fans — and things quickly turned messy. Jonas and Turner were married for four years before news broke of their split in September 2023. The former couple previously welcomed daughter Willa in 2020 and another baby girl in 2022, […]
“I’m so happy to be back. It felt as if my life was on pause until I returned to England,” she said. “I just never really feel like myself when I’m not in London, with my friends and family. I was away for so long — six years — and it was when my friends were getting engaged, and when I got pregnant. I went for dinner with someone the other day, and she said, ‘I never got to touch your belly.’ We didn’t have those key experiences with each other.”

The homesickness was real, and she coped with it the same way most anyone would — with food that reminded her of home.
“Every city we ended up in, the first thing I’d do was find a British shop and stock up on a month’s worth of chocolate,” she said, before adding that the events unfolding around her soon became overwhelming.
“The gun violence, Roe v. Wade being overturned … Everything just kind of piled on,” she added. “After the Uvalde [school] shooting, I knew it was time to get the f— out of there.”

Jennifer Lopezhas broken her silence after she filed for divorce from Ben Affleckwith an end-of-summer photo dump.
“Oh, it was a summer,” Lopez, 55, wrote via Instagram, alongside a carousel of photos from her summer in her first personal social media post since her divorce filing from Affleck, 52, earlier this month. Among the photos — which included a snap of the singer posing with her sister Lynda Lopez — was a quote that read, “Everything is unfolding in divine order.” Another photo showed Lopez wearing a shirt that reads, “She’s in bloom and unbothered, out of reach and at peace.”
Us Weekly confirmed on August 20 that Lopez filed for divorce in Los Angeles after two years of marriage. The singer listed the pair’s date of separation as April 26, and the paperwork was filed on the anniversary of their 2022 wedding at Affleck’s Georgia estate.
“The timing of the divorce was a big f—k you to Ben,” a source exclusively told Us in August.
The word “Bennifer” might include flashbacks to frosted lip gloss and butterfly clips, but everything comes back in style eventually. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez got back together nearly 20 years after their romance first took the world by storm. The pair first connected in 2002 on the set of the ill-fated Gigli. The movie […]
Lopez and Affleck initially started dating in 2002 after costarring in Gigli. They got engaged but called off their wedding in 2004 due to heightened media attention. The twosome reunited in May 2021 after they both went through divorces and breakups. Lopez was married to Marc Anthony, with whom she shares twins, Max and Emme, from 2014 until their 2011 split. She later got engaged to former MLB star Alex Rodriguez, calling it quits in 2021.
Affleck, meanwhile, finalized his divorce from Jennifer Garner, with whom he shares three kids, in 2018 after 13 years of marriage.

Affleck proposed to Lopez for a second time in April 2022, and they eloped three months later in Las Vegas with their children as witnesses. Weeks later, Lopez and Affleck celebrated with a second wedding in Georgia.
Ahead of their divorce, Lopez and Affleck sparked breakup speculation as they appeared to spend more time apart. Us confirmed in May that Affleck moved out of their shared Los Angeles home.
In July, a second insider told Us that Lopez and Affleck were “doing their own thing” as they navigated their next steps.

“Jennifer suggested they just take time to figure it out,” the source added, while a third insider pointed out that Lopez and Affleck were “going through so much individually and as a couple.”
Lopez spent most of her summer on the East Coast with family — she had canceled her This Is Me … Now tour amid the split speculation — while Affleck remained in L.A. The pair noticeably didn’t celebrate her 55th birthday together in July.
“I want you to know on my birthday that YOU are my biggest gift,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “Besides my family and friends, you have always been there for me in the good times and in the tough times. I can always count on you. And I want you to know that you can always count on me. Thank you for your caring, your understanding, your loyalty and most importantly your love. 🤍 Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.”
Julianne Hough opened up about the period of time when she ended her marriage to Brooks Laich — and lost both of her dogs.
“I had asked for a separation, and then 10 days later my dogs were killed by coyotes,” Hough, 36, recalled on the Tuesday, August 27, episode of “The Jamie Kern Lima Show” on YouTube. “My dogs that represented unconditional love and safety — gone. I’m like, ‘Whoa, what am I doing? I’m blowing up my life.’”
Hough decided to separate from Laich, 41, because she felt something was “not working,” but she didn’t expect to be grieving her pets at the same time.
“[I] woke up before my phone even rang, and I knew. And I picked up the phone and my assistant at the time was just screaming,” she continued. “I’ve never had coyotes in my yard, I have gates and everything.”
Hollywood mourned many celebrities in 2024. Speed Racer star Christian Oliver (born Christian Klepser) died at the age of 51 during a fatal plane crash on January 5. Oliver was traveling home from a Caribbean vacation with his two daughters — Madita and Annik, whom he shared with wife Jessica Klepser — on January 4. […]
“Usually how it happens is very quick, and that we got their bodies,” Hough said about the tragic incident. “Going through any kind of loss is painful, even if it is the right thing. And so as that was happening, I was just experiencing pain out of a decision that I felt like was the right thing for me. And also they were experiencing pain, so that was just really painful.”

Hough and Laich tied the knot in 2017 after four years of dating. They sparked split speculation in early 2020 when they spent time apart during the COVID pandemic and subsequently announced their separation later that year.
“We have lovingly and carefully taken the time we have needed to arrive at our decision to separate,” the pair said in a joint statement in May 2020. “We share an abundance of love and respect for one another and will continue to lead with our hearts from that place. We kindly request your compassion and respect for our privacy moving forward.”
Dancing through life! Julianne Hough and Brooks Laich only had eyes for each other from 2014 to 2020. The former Dancing With the Stars pro’s Curve costar Teddy Sears introduced the couple in December 2013, but the actor had been trying to set them up since long before that. “On set, apparently, he was talking with […]
A source exclusively told Us Weekly at the time that the former couple “argued a lot” before calling it quits, adding, “[They] just had different viewpoints on important issues. [They were] trying to find themselves separate from one another and deal with any issues they’ve faced that were exacerbated while married.”

Us confirmed that the duo’s divorce was finalized in June 2022. Hough has since discussed how difficult the experience was for her.
“It wasn’t right. That can be a hard thing to fully accept,” she said on an episode of the “Armchair Expert” podcast earlier this month. “I feel like our relationship and our marriage was exactly right, and the end of it is right too. We both have regrets that it didn’t work out, because I don’t think we had the maturity to come together. He was contracting while I was expanding. We just couldn’t find each other in that.”

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have called it quits after two years of marriage — but how long has it been since they made an official public appearance together?
Lopez, 55, filed for divorce from Affleck, 52, on Tuesday, August 20. The news came 189 days — or a little more than six months — since the pair attended their final public event as a couple on February 13, where they walked the red carpet at the premiere for Lopez’s This Is Me … Now: A Love Story project.
Just one day before Valentine’s day, Affleck showed his support for Lopez’s movie, which combined music and visuals to help reimagine true life events that inspired Lopez’s This Is Me … Now album. (The record serves as a sequel to 2002’s This Is Me … Then, which was dedicated to Affleck.)
On the carpet, the twosome were all smiles as they packed on the PDA, sharing a few sweet smooches and gazing longingly into each other’s eyes as photographers snapped their photos. They even colored coordinated for the night out, with Lopez donning a black gown with a sheer skirt and Affleck matching her in a black and white suit.
The word “Bennifer” might include flashbacks to frosted lip gloss and butterfly clips, but everything comes back in style eventually. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez got back together nearly 20 years after their romance first took the world by storm. The pair first connected in 2002 on the set of the ill-fated Gigli. The movie […]
Earlier that month, Lopez had opened up about her enduring love with Affleck, and shared how their decades-long on and off romance helped inspire the project.
“I’ve been on this journey, and I’ve been trying to figure it out. Now I feel like because Ben and I have rediscovered each other — and now that we’re married — I have something to offer,” she told Variety during her February cover story. “This is the defining piece of work that’s going to close that chapter so I can move on to the next part of my life.”

Despite looking more in love than ever at the time, This Is Me … Now: A Love Story marked the final time Lopez and Affleck appeared at a public event together. When the Met Gala came around in May, Lopez attended solo. Weeks later, Affleck was once again absent as Lopez promoted her Netflix film Atlas at its Los Angeles and Mexico City premieres.
As rumors of a tension continued to swirl, Us Weekly confirmed in May that Affleck moved out of his and Lopez’s shared home in Beverly Hills. In July, neither Lopez nor Affleck publicly acknowledged their second wedding anniversary.
At the time, a source exclusively told Us that the couple were “living separate lives” as they navigated their ups and downs, noting that Lopez “suggested they just take time to figure it out.”

While a separate insider told Us that there was still a glimmer of “hope” for the romance, Lopez filed for divorce on August 20 in a Los Angeles court. According to documents obtained by Us, she listed the date of separation as April 26, submitting the paperwork pro per, meaning by herself without an attorney.

August 20 is a date with deep significance for Lopez and Affleck, who held their second wedding ceremony on the same day in 2022. The twosome initially tied the knot in Vegas that July before throwing a bigger celebration with friends and family at Affleck’s Savannah, Georgia estate the following month.
Ben Affleck is no stranger to a high-profile romance — but not all of them have ended happily ever after. Over the years, the Justice League actor has proven that he can still be on good terms with an ex despite breaking up. In a February 2020 New York Times profile, he showed his support […]
The multi-wedding event came one year after they rekindled their romance in 2021. The duo initially began dating in 2002 but went on to call off their engagement two years later. Affleck later married Jennifer Garner from 2005 to 2018 and the pair share three children: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 11.
Lopez, for her part, has been married three times: to Ojani Noa for 11 months in 1997; Cris Judd from 2001 to 2002; and Marc Anthony, with whom she shares twins Max and Emme, 16, from 2004 to 2014. She was also engaged to Alex Rodriguez between 2019 and 2021.

Creed frontman Scott Stappwas married to Jaclyn Stapp for 18 years.
“She’s been through a lot and her friends are relieved she took initiative to finally file for divorce for good, giving her the ability to build a more stable life for her and her children,” a friend of Jaclyn’s exclusively tells Us Weekly.
The couple, who wed in February 2006, went on to welcome three children: Milan, now 17, Daniel, now 13, and Anthony, now 9. Jaclyn eventually legally adopted Scott’s eldest son, Jagger, 25, whom he welcomed with ex-wife Hillaree Burns.
“I wouldn’t even be here without this woman,” Scott, 50, previously told BreatheCast in June 2014. “I just thank God every day for putting her in my life. I think for all wives out there, you can be such a divine instrument for God in your husband’s lives, and that’s such a pivotal role.”
After nearly two decades of marriage, Jaclyn, 43, filed for divorce in 2022 and 2023. She eventually called off her petition before Scott filed his own motion that May. Us Weekly confirmed their separation one year later.
Some celebrity couples have gone the distance, but others haven’t been as lucky. 2024 kicked off with a handful of Hollywood duos calling it quits. Fans were shocked when The Bachelorette couple Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo split after four years of marriage. Us Weekly confirmed on January 2 that the chiropractor filed for divorce […]
“After much prayer and consideration, Jaclyn has chosen to end her 18-year marriage with Scott,” a rep for Jaclyn told Us in a May statement. “It’s been a long battle and while this isn’t the future she envisioned, she wishes him the best. The welfare of their children will always be her utmost concern and kindly asks for privacy during this personal time.”

A separate spokesperson for Scott also noted to Us that the singer plans to “navigate this difficult time privately.”

What Does Jaclyn Stapp Do for a Living?
She is currently the state director of the Miss Florida USA and Miss Florida Teen USA pageants. (Jaclyn previously was the Miss Florida USA runner-up, representing her home state.)
“Participating in Miss FL Teen USA holds a special place in my heart, and being able to elevate this amazing organization is very exciting,” she said in a February statement. “Competing in Miss USA gave me the access, visibility, and experience to launch a career in entertainment and reach my business and philanthropic goals. I’m excited to bring that expertise back to my home state of Florida, to produce a modern, fresh event, and to forever change the lives of the lucky ladies who walk away with the crown.”
Jaclyn had previously won Miss New York USA in 2004 and Mrs. Florida America in 2008.
Jaclyn Stapp Is a Proponent of Philanthropy
Not only did Jaclyn meet Scott at a Muscular Dystrophy Association gala, she also runs a nonprofit called CHARM (Children Are Magical), which she founded and has served as CEO of for nearly two decades. Her father died when she was 8, so she and her four siblings were raised by a single mother, and the struggle inspired Jaclyn to start CHARM.
Additionally, the National Alliance On Mental Illness (NAMI) honored her with the Catalyst for Change award in 2016 for her mental health and addiction recovery advocacy. She is an ambassador for Child Fund International, providing housing, education, and feeding children in need. She is also a spokesperson for National Voices for Equality, Education and Enlightenment (NVEEE), which works to prevent adolescent bullying, violence and suicide through proactive involvement.
Many celebrity splits have rocked Hollywood over the years, including Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin as well as Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan. Tatum and Dewan’s love story began on the set of 2006’s Step Up, where they costarred as onscreen love interests. The duo tied the knot in 2009 and welcomed daughter Everly in 2013. […]
Jaclyn Stapp Has Written Her Own Children’s Book
Jaclyn published Wacky Jacky in 2010, loosely inspired by her real life.
“When I overheard my children talk about experiences in school, I was inspired to share my own story to make them and others aware of the issue of bullying and how to deal with it,” she later told The Nashville Edit. “So, I told my personal story of being bullied as a child because I was different. I was called a boy with knobby knees, made fun of for my unruly thick hair, and for my Middle Eastern culture. The moral of my story became a big success as I am invited to many schools to read to the children and let them know that it’s okay to be different because that’s what makes us special.”

Jaclyn Stapp Believes in Clean Beauty Values
“Hydration is important for the body, and especially the face,” she told The Nashville Edit. “I’m a big believer in beauty sleep, cleanse your face each night, avoid the sun, wear sunblock and be happy!”
Jaclyn, who is a certified yoga instructor, further noted that she loves lip balm and primers and also swore by hydrafacials and microneedling after having children.
Jaclyn Stapp Is Relying on Her Faith Amid the Divorce
“Through every trial & tribulation, I’ve learned the power of standing firm in my truth. I discovered the unwavering strength of my own voice,” she wrote via X on Friday, May 10, after the breakup news made headlines. “In uncertainty, my faith in God remains unshakable, & a light that leads my the path. Through every storm, my faith remains unshaken.”
“FEMALE TRIBE — Are y’all really still out here saying STUPID, TRANSPARENT (jealousy) s—t about each other? Tearing each other down? Calling each other whores????” Marcil, 55, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, May 5, alongside screenshots of negative comments about Fox, 37, and her relationship status. “How many men do y’all know who AREN’T whores if given the chance???? What do women do when men cheat? They stay with them. If the man is rich? They will even idolize him.”
She continued, “While you are out fighting other women, PUBLICLY tearing other women down and standing up for/deadbeat men? Men are laughing at us and still ruling the world. They are having us do all of the heavy lifting around raising their kids AND They are cheating on you literally or they are addicted to porn while NOT standing for you to have basic human equal rights. If men all stood with us? They could change the laws and make us ACTUALLY equals instantly. Pull it together and stand with other women. We are still the minorities.”
Marcil, who shares son Kassius, 22, with Fox’s ex-husband Brian Austin Green, further implored her followers to give women “the same grace” as they do to men.
Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly started off their relationship by being coworkers, but it quickly evolved into something more. Fox and Kelly (real name Colson Baker) met on the set of Midnight in the Switchgrass in March 2020. At the time, Fox was married to Brian Austin Green. Two months later, the costars were […]
Fox started dating Kelly, 34, in 2020 following her divorce from Green, with whom she shares three sons. Kelly proposed two years later as the pair frequently discussed being “twin flames” and “soulmates.”
Fox and Kelly hit their first major rough patch in February 2023 when they got into an argument at a pre-Super Bowl party. Since then, they have stalled their wedding plans and been living separately. During Fox’s March appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, she declined to comment on their status in depth.
“What I’ve learned about being in this relationship is that it’s not for public consumption,” she told podcast host Alex Cooper. “So, I think as of now, I don’t have a comment on the status of the relationship per se.”
Brian Austin Green’s brood! The actor is expecting his first child with Sharna Burgess after previously welcoming children with exes Vanessa Marcil and Megan Fox. Us Weekly confirmed the Dancing With the Stars pro’s pregnancy news in February 2022. The reveal came one year after the pair debuted their relationship. Despite the Aussie’s close bond […]
Fox, however, did note that their bond could be “confusing” or “interesting” to fans.

“What I can say is that [he] is what I refer to as being my twin soul, and there will always be a tether to him no matter what,” the actress said at the time. “I cannot say for sure what the capacity will be, but I will always be connected to him somehow. Beyond that, I’m not willing to explain.”
Green, meanwhile, has moved on with Sharna Burgess with whom he shares son Zane, 22 months. The couple previously told Us Weekly in March 2023 that they have a “fantastic” coparenting relationship with Fox.
“I think people make a mistake in life of thinking that it’s not going to affect the kids if they do a certain thing, and it’s going to affect the kids no matter what,” Green, 50, told Us. “The only thing you really have control over is how it affects the kids, and luckily, Megan and I have been fantastic. Megan and Sharna have a fantastic relationship.”
Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright went from the Valley to the Capitol when they hit the White House Correspondents Dinner red carpet on Saturday, April 27.
Cartwright, 35, looked glamorous in a black, corseted strapless gown with matching full-length gloves, but she did not have her estranged husband on her arm. She and Taylor, 44, each walked the red carpet solo, just hours after they both attended the White House Correspondents’ Garden Brunch in Washington, D.C.
While they didn’t take photos together, they did sit next to each other. Taylor, who wore a black State and Liberty Clothing Co. suit, showed Cartwright via his Instagram Story and vice versa. They were guests of the Daily Mail.
The separated couple’s appearance comes one year after Ariana Madix made her post-Sandoval red carpet debut at the same event. She attended alongside Lisa Vanderpump and Lala Kent last year as guests of the Daily Mail. Taylor and Cartwright’s turn on the carpet comes amid their highly publicized split.

Before Taylor and Cartwright joined Bravo’s The Valley, which debuted earlier this year, they were first introduced to audiences on Vanderpump Rules. Their 2019 wedding was filmed for the show one year before the duo announced their departure. They went on to expand their family with son Cruz, whom they welcomed in 2021.
Amid their small screen return, Taylor and Cartwright surprised fans when they announced their separation in February. However, Cartwright has made it clear that Taylor could win her back — if he makes changes.
“There’s definitely a chance,” she revealed in her Us Weekly cover story earlier this month. “But I won’t waste my time and get back into a toxic situation. Now the veil has been lifted and I see how much I was always cleaning up Jax’s messes. I’m thrown in the middle of all these fights and constantly forced to apologize for him in the media and to friends. It’s hard.”
When asked what exactly he needs to do, Cartwright said there’s a lengthy list. “There are a lot of things, and I’m not seeing enough effort from his side,” she explained to Us. “He needs to go to therapy. He doesn’t need to be staying out at the bar all the time. He needs to respect me more and stop taking me for granted. I was the closest person to him and was kind of like his punching bag. He was always giving me jabs. I can’t deal with that for the rest of my life.”

While Taylor has apologized for various things — from publicly embarrassing her to criticizing on her looks — his wife wants to see actual progress.
Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright’s love story wasn’t exactly a fairy tale leading to their 2024 break. Taylor met Cartwright in between seasons 3 and 4 of Vanderpump Rules in the spring of 2015. Fans watched Cartwright move to Los Angeles to be with Taylor during season 4 of the reality series. While she quickly […]
“He acknowledged it but then he’s always like, ‘I said sorry.’ He likes to think that just saying, ‘I’m sorry,’ will be fine and we should move on. … I can’t do that now, this is too serious. And if things don’t change, then we can’t be together because we’re gonna be unhappy for the rest of our lives. I don’t want to be unhappy for the rest of my life. I don’t want to be in a sexless marriage for the rest of my life. I don’t want to be arguing with my husband for the rest of my life.”

She even moved out because of the bickering, opting to live in an Airbnb until they figure out their next move.
“The fighting has to stop,” Cartwright said. “We were just constantly digging at each other. We got to that point, which I think a lot of marriages go through, where everything that the other person does is getting on your nerves. That’s a horrible feeling and a horrible way to live. That’s one of the main reasons I knew that we needed space from each other.”
Whether Taylor can fix their marriage remains to be seen, but either way, she’s happy that she took control of her life. “I feel good,” she said. “I feel strong, and I’m proud of myself for doing what’s right for my mental health and my family.”

Christine Quinn‘s estranged husband, Christian Richard, was denied his request for a restraining order amid their divorce.
Quinn, 35, and Richard, 44, filed for restraining orders against one another following an alleged domestic violence incident in March. The Selling Sunset alum’s request was granted last month, but Richard’s was denied on Wednesday, April 17, Us Weekly can confirm.
Quinn’s attorney issued a statement after the court hearing, noting, “We are pleased that the Court dismissed Christian’s baseless request for a DVRO against Christine today. As such, all of his requests have been denied again. The Court also extended Christine’s Temporary Restraining Order protecting her and her son from Christian until May 14, 2024. We look forward to appearing at that hearing to obtain a permanent restraining order.”
People reported that the pair’s hearing was pushed because Quinn wasn’t able to serve Richard with the court ordered restraining order. In earlier paperwork, Quinn claimed she was told by a man who was removing Richard’s belongings from their shared home that he was currently “in Europe.”
Selling Sunset alum Christine Quinn met husband Christian Richard through a matchmaking mutual friend and work. “[My friend was] like, ‘Also, he’s looking for a house.’ And I was like: double bonus,” Quinn recalled to Bustle in May 2020. “Him and I had an amazing steak dinner and got to know each other, and we […]
Quinn’s restraining order stated that Richard must not come within 100 years of her, her home, her vehicle, her job or their child’s “school or childcare.” Since the paperwork wasn’t served, however, those orders cannot currently be enforced. She has until May 9 to serve Richard the order.
Quinn and Richard’s marital issues made headlines in March when he was arrested and booked for assault with a deadly weapon. A temporary restraining order was put in place following the incident. Richard was subsequently taken into custody for a second time after violating the order when he returned to their home.
Richard subsequently filed for divorce from Quinn after two years of marriage, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split. Richard also requested full legal and physical custody of their 2-year-old son, Christian, while allowing Quinn visitation.
Court documents obtained by Us on Tuesday, April 16, state that Quinn is seeking sole legal and physical custody because Richard’s “actions and behavior have put our son’s health and wellbeing at risk.”
A source has since told Us that Quinn “felt controlled” by Richard throughout the entirety of their relationship.
A reality television career can be tough on a marriage, but few unscripted series have a higher divorce rate than Netflix’s Selling Sunset franchise. Several stars of the real estate series have seen their marriages fall apart since the OG show’s March 2019 debut. Chrishell Stause became the first victim of what some have called […]
“He never liked that her whole brand was about sex appeal and Christine would often have to lie about what partnerships or photoshoots she was doing so Christian wouldn’t have a meltdown,” the insider added, noting that Quinn “felt unsafe” for a while. “It has been toxic for several months and Christine has been in distress. … It is going to be a long messy road ahead of them, as they both have restraining orders and are not in agreement on plans with their son.”

Quinn and Richard tied the knot in December 2019 following a whirlwind romance. The former reality star met Richard through a mutual friend, which led to them dating.
“[My friend was] like, ‘Also, he’s looking for a house.’ And I was like: double bonus,” Quinn recalled to Bustle in May 2020. “Him and I had an amazing steak dinner and got to know each other, and we just hit it off right away. He’s everything that I ever wanted.”
She added at the time: “He’s the opposite of me in every way because I love to put myself out there. I love to be fabulous. He doesn’t care about dressing up or looking good. He doesn’t care about any of that stuff. He only cares about his work and traveling. Which I care about as well.”
Ryan Scott Anderson is speaking out for the first time since he and estranged wife Gypsy Rose Blanchard split.
“I’m not doing well with it,” Anderson, 37, opened up to the Daily Mail on Friday, April 6. “For me, it just came out of the blue.”
Anderson went on to explain that he was shocked Blanchard, 32, was spotted in Louisiana with her ex-fiancé, Ken Urker, to whom she was engaged in 2018 before calling things off in 2019.
“I had no idea she still had such strong feelings for him,” he told the publication.
Some celebrity couples have gone the distance, but others haven’t been as lucky. 2024 kicked off with a handful of Hollywood duos calling it quits. Fans were shocked when The Bachelorette couple Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo split after four years of marriage. Us Weekly confirmed on January 2 that the chiropractor filed for divorce […]
Anderson’s reaction comes a week after news broke on March 29 that the couple was splitting up after less than two years of marriage.
According to People, Blanchard shared the relationship update on her private Facebook account in a statement.
“People have been asking what is going on in my life. Unfortunately, my husband and I are going through a separation, and I moved in with my parents’ home down the bayou,” she wrote. “I have the support of my family and friends to help guide me through this. I am learning to listen to my heart. Right now, I need time to let myself find … who I am.”
Stars in lockup. Plenty of reality TV personalities have faced legal trouble over the years, but only a handful have served time for their crimes. Teresa Giudice and her ex-husband, Joe Giudice, both spent time behind bars after they were convicted on fraud charges in 2015. The Turning the Tables author served 11 months at […]
The breakup announcement was posted three months after Blanchard was released from Chillicothe Correctional Center in Missouri after she had served seven years in prison for plotting the murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, in 2015 with her then boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn.
Following Dee Dee’s death, Gypsy pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. She was granted parole in September 2023, which allowed her to be released the following December.
While she was behind bars, Gypsy and Dee Dee’s story caught the attention of Hollywood and was documented via various TV shows and movies, including HBO’s 2017 documentary Mommy Dead and Dearest and the scripted 2019 Hulu miniseries The Act, which starred actress Joey King.

Anderson and Gypsy first connected in 2020 when Anderson sent her a letter in prison. Two years later, they made things official and said “I do” in a jailhouse ceremony in July 2022.
Before Gypsy was released, she told People that the couple were planning to have a more public wedding ceremony.
“We do plan on having a reception/redo wedding with all of our family and our friends and the dress and the cake and everything because we deserve that. I deserve that. He deserves that,” she said. “Our prison wedding was just something to where we can make our vows to each other. It was something that meant something to us. And I think the party is kind of for everybody else and us, but mostly for everybody else.”
Law & Crime/YouTube Gypsy Rose Blanchard has made headlines for more than just murder. Gypsy was released from prison in December 2023 after serving seven years of a 10-year sentence. She was granted parole in September of that year. Gypsy pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in 2016, the year after her allegedly abusive mother, Clauddine […]
However, things changed once the couple moved in together, with Gypsy’s friend Nadiya Vizier alleging that a fearful fight may have led to the breakup.
“He got in her face and screamed,” Vizier alleged of the altercation in a new interview with People published on Friday, April 5. She also claimed that after Gypsy locked herself in a bathroom, Anderson screamed, “‘Let me in! Let me in!” before she called a relative to pick her up.

“Gypsy said that she was afraid he was going to hit her,” Vizier told the publication. “He didn’t — but that happened in the past with her mother. So, her first instinct was to tighten up and be prepared. But she got to safety and called her lawyer, too. Ryan is a big guy, and she told me it was really scary.”
Gypsy reportedly took her belongings and traveled to her father’s house in Cut Off, Louisiana, after the alleged incident.
Us Weekly has reached out to Anderson and Gypsy’s lawyer for comment
“That is a lie,” Bündchen, 43, told The New York Times in a Saturday, March 23 profile in which she was asked point-blank about the allegations that she had an affair with the jiu-jitsu trainer.
The supermodel said that many women who leave their marriages face such salacious speculation. “This is something that happens to a lot of women who get blamed when they have the courage to leave an unhealthy relationship and are labeled as being unfaithful,” Bündchen lamented. “They have to deal with their communities. They have to deal with their family. Of course for me, it just happens to be a little bit amplified.”
She declined to say what actually caused her and Brady, 46, to split in 2022 after 13 years of marriage. “No one really knows what happens between two people, only the two people in the relationship,” she said.
Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen looked like the picture-perfect couple, but the NFL pro and the model aren’t afraid to admit that their relationship has gone through ups and downs. “I’m blessed to find this life partner that we all kind of seek at different times in our life,” the former New England Patriots quarterback […]
Bündchen and the retired football player coparent son Benjamin, 14, and daughter Vivian, 11. (Brady also shares son Jack, 16, with ex Bridget Moynahan.)
Since quickly finalizing their divorce more than one year ago, Bündchen has found herself falling in love again.
“This is the first time I am seeing someone that was a friend of mine first,” she told NYT. “It’s very different. It is very honest, and it’s very transparent.”

Bündchen and Valente were first spotted together in November 2022, just one month after her split from Brady, but an insider exclusively told Us Weekly that the pair’s relationship didn’t turn romantic until mid-2023.
“Joaquim was there for Gisele through her divorce, as a friend, and they turned romantic this past summer,” a source exclusively told Us in February after the couple were spotted kissing on a romantic Valentine’s Day date.
Getting through it. Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen have been working hard to remain cordial — and put their kids first — after calling it quits in fall 2022. The former New England Patriots quarterback and the supermodel initially sparked rumors there was trouble in paradise after Brady walked back his NFL retirement in March […]
The insider noted that Valente is “amazing” with her children and added, “Gisele also loves being with someone who is from Brazil, they both have a shared history that she hasn’t had with anyone she’s dated.”
Before taking their friendship to the next level, Bündchen said that she was happy that she was close with Valente and his family, despite rumors swirling.
“I think, at this point, unfortunately, because I’m divorced, I’m sure that [people will] try to attach me to anything,” she said in an April Vanity Fair cover story. “I’m so grateful to know [Joaquim and his siblings], because not only have they helped me and helped my kids, but they have become great friends, and Joaquim especially. … It’s so good to have that kind of energy, to have my kids around that type of energy.”

Kevin McKiddand Arielle Goldrath have settled the terms of their divorce, Us Weekly can confirm.
The twosome reached an uncontested written agreement regarding their property, child custody and support, according to court documents obtained by Us.
Us confirmed in June 2023 that McKidd, 50, and Goldrath had finalized their divorce. Per the filing, the former couple signed a prenuptial agreement ahead of their 2018 wedding, which was honored.
The Grey’s Anatomy star announced in July 2022 that he and Goldrath had separated.
“Pick me, choose me, love me.” Grey’s Anatomy has made an art form out of bringing fictional couples together and tearing them apart. In real life, the cast’s romantic ventures are not always so dramatic. Ellen Pompeo and Patrick Dempsey’s Meredith Grey and Derek Shepherd are the most beloved duo in the ABC drama’s history. Since the show began in […]
“I don’t often share my personal life on social media, but today there is something I do want to share with you,” he wrote via Instagram at the time. “A few months ago, Arielle and I decided to end the marriage portion of our relationship. We reached this conclusion after much soul-searching and discussion. We know it’s what is right for both of us.”
McKidd — who shares son Aiden, 5, and daughter Nava, 4, with Goldrath — added that his ex “is an incredible mother.” (He also coparents two older children with ex-wife Jane Parker, whom he was married to from 1999 to 2017.)

“She’s one of the wisest, most intelligent and loving people I’ve ever known,” he continued. “We continue to have the highest love and respect for each other. … We have been able to redefine our lives and love for each other in a beautiful way. It’s not been easy and has taken significant work and self-examination. It has all been worth it to get to where we are now: a deep and honest relationship as parents and real friends with an amazing shared history, beautiful children and family.”
He concluded, “Please wish us luck and good fortune going forward, as we also wish for you all. It feels good to share this part of my life and let you all know that even with challenges, it is possible to reach happy conclusions if we show up for each other and stay open. Arielle and I will always be there for one another. I hope everyone could be this blessed: to raise their kids with one of your very best friends.”
Us confirmed in December 2022 that Goldrath had filed for divorce from McKidd, citing “irreconcilable differences.”

Following their split, McKidd has been linked to fellow Shondaland star Danielle Savre. The pair were first spotted together in June 2023 when they packed on the PDA in Lake Como, Italy.
McKidd and Savre, 35, have appeared on the small screen together in several Grey’s Anatomy and Station 19 crossover episodes, playing Owen Hunt and Maya Bishop, respectively.
Savre, for her part, was previously linked to Andrew Contis in 2019.
Brad Pitt is looking ahead as he and Angelina Jolie take the legal steps to finalize their lengthy divorce.
“They’re navigating the last of the red tape, which is a huge relief and morale boost,” a source exclusively reveals in the newest issue of Us Weekly, noting that Pitt, 60, and Jolie, 48, are close to wrapping up their seven-year legal battle.
According to the insider, Pitt isn’t thrilled about how the end of their marriage affected their family, noting, “It saddens him that he’s not on better terms with some of his kids, and he regrets that things got so acrimonious with Angelina, but the days of looking back in anger are behind him.”
The former couple called it quits in 2016 after more than a decade together. Shortly before their split, Pitt and Jolie made headlines when Pitt was the subject of a child abuse investigation due to an alleged incident on the family’s jet. Pitt was later cleared by the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been locked in a messy court battle ever since she filed for divorce in September 2016, but the pair were not always at odds. The Oscar winners fell for each other while filming the 2005 action film Mr. & Mrs. Smith. The origination of their relationship instantly caused controversy since […]
“Brad has owned everything he’s responsible for from day one — unlike the other side — but he’s not going to own anything he didn’t do,” Pitt’s lawyer Anne Kiley told Us in an October 2022 statement. “He has been on the receiving end of every type of personal attack and misrepresentation.”
While Pitt and Jolie were declared legally single in 2019, the duo have spent years wrapped up in legal disputes over their French vineyard and custody of their minor children. (The pair share six kids: Maddox, 22, Pax, 19, Zahara, 18, Shiloh, 17, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 15.)

Jolie recently opened up about her close-knit connection with her kids, telling WSJ. Magazine in December 2023, “They are the closest people to me and my life, and they’re my close friends. We’re seven very different people, which is our strength.”
“I don’t really have … a social life. I realized my closest friends are refugees. Maybe four out of six of the women that I am close to are from war and conflict,” she explained before discussing her plans to stay at her home in Cambodia more often. “It’s part of what happened after my divorce. I lost the ability to live and travel as freely. I will move when I can.”
“He’s embracing growing older and the experiences and wisdom it brings,” a second source tells Us, adding that Pitt is “very content with life” right now.
One month after they were first linked, Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon were already celebrating milestones together. The Oscar winner and de Ramon were spotted hanging out on Pitt’s 59th birthday in December 2022, just weeks after the pair were seen attending a Bono concert with famous pals including Cindy Crawford, Rande Gerber and […]
The insider says Pitt has a “deep bond” with de Ramon, 30, after more than one year of dating, noting, “He couldn’t be more excited or thankful.”

In an except from his upcoming book, Flip Your Life: How to Find Opportunity in Distress — in Real Estate, Business and Life, El Moussa wrote that after he “went out to our backyard in Yorba Linda and hopped over the fence” after a heated argument with Hall, 40, in 2016.
El Moussa brought his licensed .38-caliber pistol with him as he went for a run due to the mountain lions and bobcats in the neighboring Chino Hills State Park.
“A police officer leaning out of the helicopter pointed a rifle at me. Dust swirled around me from the spin of the blades, and a loudspeaker crackled, ‘Get your hands in the air!’” he wrote in his book, per People. “I heard an officer shout, ‘Tarek?’ I screamed back, ‘Yes! I’m the guy from TV! What are you guys doing?’”
Talk about a roller-coaster! Christina Hall (née Haack) and Tarek El Moussa‘s ups and downs started well before they called it quits in 2016. The reality stars tied the knot in May 2009, four years before their HGTV series catapulted them into the spotlight. Things took a turn when El Moussa was diagnosed with two […]
El Moussa continued: “For the next several hours, I sat on a cooler on my driveway, handcuffed. That was the very last time we were together as a family: with Christina walking down the driveway, crying, and me sitting there in handcuffs, asking myself, What in the world is going on?”

An eyewitness told police at the time that Hall was “crying and shaking,” while El Moussa told the deputies that he “had no intention of hurting himself.” He agreed to “voluntarily relinquish all of his firearms” after the incident.
El Moussa referred to the weeks after their breakup as “physical and emotional hell,” telling People on Wednesday, January 31, “Everybody gave up on me: the magazines, the outlets, the network, nobody believed in me.”
While HGTV is known for making feel-good content, sometimes drama goes on behind the scenes with the network’s personalities. Exes Christina Hall and Tarek El Moussa used to host Flip or Flop together in 2013 while they were still married. After announcing their separation in 2016, the pair continued to work together on their series. […]
Despite their ups and downs, El Moussa and Hall, who officially announced their split via a joint statement in December 2016, have since gotten to a better place as they continue to coparent daughter Taylor, 13, and son Brayden, 8.
“I hold nothing against Christina. I understand why she did what she did. We had a lot of hard years through my sicknesses and my mental health struggles from the testosterone,” he revealed on Wednesday. “I’ve never said any of this, ever.”

Hall moved on with Ant Anstead after her split from El Moussa. Hall and Anstead, 44, got married in December 2018 and revealed three months later that they were expecting their first child together. One year after welcoming son Hudson, Hall announced she and Anstead called it quits.
“[Meeting Heather in 2019 was] my breakthrough moment. Ever since that day, I just haven’t looked back and I’m just so happy and excited about the family I have today,” El Moussa added to People on Wednesday. “I never gave up. Through a lot of hard work, pain and just dreaming, I was able to get to where I am today.”

Britney Spears’ ex Sam Asghari appears to be living his best life since his split from the superstar. On January 8, he posed for red carpet photos at the Young Hollywood & the Breakout Stars of 2023 event in L.A., and three days later, the US Sun reported he’d name-dropped Spears to score a photo with Brad Pitt at a Beverly Hills gallery exhibition.
The “Toxic” singer isn’t exactly thrilled Asghari is still using his connection to her to secure invites to industry events and rub shoulders with Hollywood’s elite. “She feels Sam is playing the ‘Mr. Britney Spears’ card for everything it’s worth,” says a source, “and she finds it kind of pathetic.”
It’s been especially hard on Spears, 42, as she and Asghari are currently clashing over the details of their divorce. The former trainer, 29, filed for divorce in August 2023 after 14 months of marriage. As Us previously reported, Spears and Asghari signed an ironclad prenup before they tied the knot in June 2022, but now sources claim Asghari wants more money.
“Sam feels he should be compensated properly for everything he went through with Britney,” says one source, referring to the erratic behavior and mood swings Asghari witnessed while married to the pop star. “The exact amount he wants is being kept confidential, but he’s not happy with what Britney and her team have proposed.” Adds a second source: “Sam is going for everything under the sun.” Representatives for Spears declined to comment on the divorce proceedings. A representative for Asghari did not respond to a request for comment.

A source told Us in July 2022 that, per the terms of their prenup, Asghari would get $1 million for every two years of marriage to Spears, while waiving his rights to the Grammy winner’s music catalog and signing an NDA. (She’s worth an estimated $60 million.) But the settlement is “stuck in limbo,” says the first source. “There’s a lot of wrangling back and forth. Things have become a lot more complicated than both of them had hoped it would be.”
While Spears had reportedly been paying for Asghari’s luxury apartment rental following their split, a third source tells Us that’s no longer the case. “Britney is in no mood to be pushed around or rushed into signing over another huge check to Sam,” says the first source, noting that so far, she isn’t budging when it comes to the terms of their prenup. “She wants to stick to the letter of the paperwork and feels that’s all he’s entitled to, period.”
It was love at first sight when Britney Spears and Sam Asghari met in October 2016 on the set of her “Slumber Party” music video, but the fairy-tale does not have a happy ending. Spears was charmed when chatting with Asghari and the pair exchanged phone numbers and continued to get to know each other. […]
It’s a sore subject for the star. In 2022, Spears’ legal team claimed her father, Jamie, paid himself at least $6 million while acting as her conservator and spent more than $30 million of her earnings on legal fees associated with the 13-year conservatorship. “Britney is still deeply resentful over how much money certain family members have managed to mooch off of her through the years,” says the first source. After her 2007 divorce from Kevin Federline, Spears reportedly paid the former backup dancer $1.3 million, and he receives $40,000 a month from her in child support for their two sons, Sean, 18, and Jayden, 17, who live with him in Hawaii.
“Sam wishes Britney well but wants what’s fair,” a source says of Asghari pushing for more money.MEGA
Now Asghari believes he’s entitled to more than he agreed to initially. “Sam isn’t hurting for cash, but he’s willing to dig in and fight for the extra money he feels he deserves,” says the first source. An insider told Us in January 2023 that Spears was “emotionally abusive” and could be “cruel” toward Asghari, often taking her stress out on him. The insider said she also blamed Asghari for their May 2022 miscarriage, telling him that she “lost the baby because he is never home.”
Things seemed amicable enough when Spears and Asghari announced their split in August. “We will hold onto the love and respect we have for each other and I wish her the best always,” he wrote in an Instagram statement. Spears confirmed the breakup a few days later, telling fans via social media that she was “a little shocked” but doing “pretty damn good.” She added, “I’m not here to explain why because it’s honestly nobody’s business.”
Britney Spears’ career and personal life have faced a series of ups and downs over the years. Spears first showed off her vocal skills on the singing competition Star Search at 10 years old in 1992. Following a stint on The Mickey Mouse Club, she signed a record deal with Jive Records in 1997 and […]
At the time, rumors circulated Spears had been unfaithful with a member of her staff, but an insider told Us Spears’ inner circle “would be really surprised if she cheated,” adding, “Britney and Sam wanted different things and couldn’t agree on several issues such as having children.” In 2022, a source told Us the pair had “skipped the honeymoon phase” of their marriage and were “constantly fighting,” particularly over Spears’ lack of focus and built-up anger from her conservatorship.

As of now, Spears and Asghari aren’t speaking. “They’ve exchanged pleasantries, but generally they don’t talk,” says the first source. “It’s difficult with this situation being unresolved, plus both of them are keen to put the marriage behind them and move on with their lives.” During a January 7 interview with Life & Style, Asghari said he was focused on his acting career and added that he was “not looking for a partner.”
This past year had Us questioning whether love is even real after a months-long onslaught of celebrity breakups. One of the first shocking splits that took the world by storm in 2023 was Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix. Us Weekly confirmed in March that the Vanderpump Rules stars broke up after nearly a decade of […]
Spears would like to settle down again eventually, but the first source says she’s not in a rush. In late January, she shared photos of herself enjoying some beach time in French Polynesia. “Britney’s just cutting loose, flirting with cute guys and looking to have fun,” says the source. “She’s not up for anything serious.”
During her Wednesday, January 10, appearance on the “Dumb Blonde” podcast, Moakler, 48, revealed that she and Barker, also 48, were “working” on their relationship when she was sent text messages between him and Kardashian, 43, from an anonymous source.
“They were trying to meet up at her sister’s house to f–k,” Moakler said of the alleged exchanges, claiming that when she showed the texts to Barker he “deleted them.” She also claimed that she called Kardashian, who denied the affair and said, “I don’t like white guys.”
Moakler and Barker tied the knot in 2004 and welcomed their kids, son Landon and daughter Alabama, in 2003 and 2005, respectively. They first called it quits in 2006 but continued with an on-off relationship for two years before finalizing their divorce in 2008.
Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler’s relationship has been plagued with custody battles, cheating accusations and more. The former spouses originally called it quits in 2006 after two years of marriage and the arrival of son Landon and daughter Alabama. For the next two years, however, they continued an on-and-off relationship before finalizing their divorce in […]
While opening up about pulling the plug on her romance with Barker, Moakler noted that she and the drummer “never recovered” from the drama with Kardashian, which contributed to their split.
Barker, for his part, has denied that anything physical happened between him and Kim — “We went to dinner, we went to lunch,” he wrote in his 2015 memoir, Can I Say: Living Large, Cheating Death, and Drums, Drums, Drums. Barker is now married to Kim’s sister, Kourtney Kardashian. The twosome wed in May 2022.
Keep scrolling for more revelations from Moakler’s “Dumb Blonde” podcast appearance:
On Travis Barker and Kim Kardashian
Moakler claimed that she and Barker were “working on things” in their relationship when someone “anonymously texted” her the rocker’s alleged conversations with Kim. “They were trying to meet up at her sister’s house to f–k,” she said. Moakler claimed the pair connected when Kim was shooting for Barker’s clothing brand.
“I wanted this relationship to work. I was so in love with him,” she said, claiming she showed Barker the messages and he “deleted” them. “[He] said, ‘I don’t see anything.’”
She also allegedly called Kim. “She just said to me, ‘I don’t like white guys,’” Moakler recalled. “I was like, ‘You’ll f–k anyone to be famous.’ … Travis and I never really recovered from that. I felt stupid.”
Moakler also claimed she “caught” Barker with Lindsay Lohan. “He was living the rockstar life,” she explained. “We always came back to each other.”
Despite their issues, Moakler shared that she wanted to make it work for the family. “I was so in love with him,” she said. “I wanted my children to see their mother and father in love.”
On the Kardashian Family
Moakler made headlines in 2021 when Alabama and Landon took to social media to share that Moakler wasn’t currently in their lives. While recalling their estrangement, Moakler said she felt like “parental alienation” began with Landon and Alabama when Barker started dating Kourtney.
“That shit was all getting played out in the press,” she explained, noting that the Kardashian family is a “media machine.”
“I just got f—king hammered. And bullied,” she continued. “And over my f–king kids. Who does that to someone with their own children? F–k you, that family.”
Moakler called the famous brood “disgusting,” noting that she would “never want to know them.”
“I’m tired of people shitting on me. I don’t have to like that f–king family,” she said. “I’m not afraid of them and I don’t like them. I removed myself. I took a step back.”

On Travis Barker’s Plane Crash
After Barker was involved in a September 2008 plane crash that killed four people and left him with third-degree burns on 65 percent of his body, Moakler claimed she was trying to connect the musician with his children when she discovered emails of Barker bashing her parenting style.
“We got his computer … We were hoping him seeing the kids would give him the strength to keep fighting,” she explained. “When I was setting up his computer … I looked in his email and I saw all the emails from the women. That didn’t bother me, but I saw all these comments in these emails about what a shitty mother I was. I couldn’t f–king believe that he was the one behind some of those comments. I went home and cried in my mother’s arms for hours.”
Moakler noted that “looking back now, I probably should’ve licked my wounds until he recovered.”
On Gerard Butler Rumors
Moakler shared that a misunderstanding between her and Barker over Moakler’s friendship with Gerard Butler also played a part in their divorce.
“I was going out, getting drunk. I was friends with Gerard Butler,” she said. “I saw him at the club and the paparazzi took pictures of us and made it seem like I was kissing him. I wasn’t. Travis saw it … and we never recovered.”
Moakler said that after the incident, Barker was “convinced” she had cheated on him but the pair ended up “living together” for the benefit of their kids. “We were coparents,” she explained. “We wanted to be there for our kids. Until like almost 2014.”
The twosome continued to share a home until Moakler met now-ex Brian Sollima. The duo got “serious” so she told Barker, “I can’t be living with you anymore.”
“I stopped talking to [Travis] around 2014,” she continued. “We started following each other right before [Kourtney]. We still coparent. My oldest daughter is 24. My son is 20 years old. He’s living with his girlfriend [Charli D’Amelio]. They’re all talented.”
On Why Her Marriage With Travis Barker Broke Down
“He didn’t want to be known as a couple or a reality star,” she said, referring to the exes MTV show, Meet the Barkers. “He wanted to be known as a musician. He was so punk rock. He put an end to it [the show]. I think for him, he was the star. When it became about us as a couple, I wanted to be a power couple, he didn’t want that.”
On Travis Barker and Paris Hilton
Moakler claimed that after she and Barker first separated, she and Paris Hilton had a verbal altercation at Hyde nightclub in Los Angeles. (Moakler alleged that Barker had an affair with Hilton during their marriage.)
“That was sort of the end of it all. He went to Paris,” she said. “At the time I guess he was talking to Kim too.”
Despite their problems, Moakler claimed she still helped Barker get sober after he had issues on tour. “It was like some Johnny Cash type shit,” she said. “Everyone wanted to be a rockstar. They needed him to go party and drink and meet bitches and feel cool. He had a family. We got back together and we were trying to heal over that.”

On Falling for Oscar De La Hoya
“We just looked into each other’s eyes and it was just, like, ding. That was it. We had quite a whirlwind there,” she said of her romance with Oscar La Hoya, whom she began dating in 1997. She noted that while the boxer “does drink a lot,” he’s also a “very fun” person.” (La Hoya eventually popped the question but the pair called off their engagement in 2000.)
“He loves to sing. He’s very social,” she said. “He was 25 when I met him. We were like babies.”
Moakler shared that she got pregnant with their daughter, Atiana, six months after meeting La Hoya, 50, and the twosome moved in together.
“We were madly in love,” she said. “I think our first date, like, I went to Big Bear and we took a private jet to Vegas. I remember people being like, ‘Champ, champ!’ I didn’t really know anything about the boxing world or him really. He’s very romantic. We just fell in love.”
On the Breakup With Oscar De La Hoya
Moakler claimed La Hoya did her “pretty dirty” with alleged infidelity after the birth of their daughter.
“[Atiana] was about 1 and a half, two years old. There were all these third parties,” she claimed. “He just lost his first fight. … I met him at Universal, and said, ‘Do you want this anymore?”
Moakler said that La Hoya told her they’d reset their romance after he got back from shooting Late Night With David Letterman. “It was everything I wanted to hear in that moment,” she added.
According to Moakler, La Hoya then attended the Latin Grammy Awards in Los Angeles with Mille Corretjer without giving her a heads-up.
“There he is holding hands with his now ex-wife. I just remember I lost my breath,” she recalled. “There was no backlash [publicly]. I didn’t stand a chance. The next day they had a lawyer come to the house and say, you and the baby need to move out. It just became just a shitshow whirlwind. He never called me again. He had his assistant [tell me we were done]. I really thought in that moment that my life was over.”
Moakler also claimed that she “quit everything” for La Hoya because he “did not want me working.”
On Claims Daughter Atiana Didn’t See Oscar De La Hoya Until She Was ‘About 16’
Moakler recalled an alleged conversation about child support after her split from La Hoya.
“He said, I won’t see you or the baby until she’s 16 [if she sued him for palimony],” she claimed. “He got out of the car, I’ll never forget this, and he goes, I have more money than God. Don’t be too hard on me. And he left. I cried. I sued him for palimony, and I won. I really didn’t have a choice.”
She added, “He didn’t see the baby and I until she was about 16. She didn’t know her father growing up. They’ve made amends. He’s made amends with me. He’s apologized.”
Feuding family. Shanna Moakler and her two children with ex Travis Barker are no strangers to butting heads on social media. The former pageant queen gave birth to son Landon and daughter Alabama in 2003 and 2005, respectively. She and the Blink 182 rocker went on to briefly split in 2006 after two years of […]
On Her Relationship With Her Children
“I have a great relationship with my kids,” she said. “Parental alienation is a real thing. I raised all my kids and I did a good job. My kids and I never had any bumps in the road until my ex-husband [Travis] started dating a Kardashian crew. I’m very confident in who I am as a mother. I’m very close with my kids.”

“I didn’t know who Blink-182 was,” she explained. “He was in the middle of a divorce [from first wife Melissa Kennedy]. I was like, ‘I don’t want to deal with a guy going through a divorce,” she recalled. “Then the next week [I went back]. Travis was there again. This time, he came up to me, and I said, ‘What’s your sign’ or something like that. We went back to his hotel, listening to music.”
Moakler shared that when the pair kissed, she thought, “Holy shit, I just met the love of my life” and she got pregnant six months later. “Travis is definitely more the love of my life in more ways than Oscar,” she shared.
Supa Cent is opening up about her split from her ex-fiance, Rayzor. Additionally, the entrepreneur is clarifying her previous claim that he assaulted her.
As The Shade Room previously reported, the pair got engaged in May 2022. However, Supa Cent revealed their split last month while accusing Rayzor of putting his hands on her.
Supa Cent Opens Up About Her And Rayzor’s Relationship
On Monday, January 1, Supa Cent took to Instagram Live to interact with fans. During her sitdown, she delved into her split from Rayzor, explaining that she’s feeling “distraught.”
“I’m going through something — I’m suffering a breakup [and] not only am I suffering a breakup, my kids are suffering a breakup. So it’s not just about me. I spent almost three years with somebody,” she explained.
According to Black Enterprise, the entrepreneur is a mother to two children from a previous relationship.
As the video continued, Supa Cent explained that she still has love for Rayzor. However, she does not excuse his behavior.
“We not gon’ act like what happened between us isn’t a reason for me to pack my bags and move on,” she continued. “Until somebody really takes some type of ownership or deals with some type of consequences.”
Supa Cent explained that she and Rayzor’s relationship encountered “real issues,” admitting that they’ve been violent toward one another.
“That n***a is not going to put his hands on me without me putting my hands on him,” she said.
The Mother Of Two Details Her & Rayzor’s Violent Encounter
As the entrepreneur’s Instagram Live continued, she reflected on their most recent physical altercation.
“You did cause physical harm to me, and I caused physical harm to you,” Supa Cent continued.
She explained that they were arguing while driving somewhere in a car. During the incident, she put her sunglasses on and listened to music to keep her from further escalating their encounter. However, Rayzor allegedly attempted to grab the glasses off her face, which prompted Supa Cent to strike him.
The entrepreneur admitted that she knocked Rayzor’s veneers out of his mouth before he pulled over, attempting to restrain her.
Supa Cent explained that she got out of the vehicle, which was now on the side of an interstate highway, to separate herself. However, as she walked away, Rayzor dragged her back from the vehicle.
“I’m not mad that you dragged me. I’m mad because you had no regard for people that could see us… You had no regard that anybody could have pulled over… and got involved. Anything could have happened.” she continued. “I didn’t break up with Ray because we had a little scuffle — this is what we do! I broke up with you because you had no regard for us being in public.”
Watch a video of the entrepreneur sharing her thoughts below.
A Brief Recap Of The Former Couple’s Split
As The Shade Room previously reported, the mother of two took to Instagram in late December to reveal her split from Razor.
Shortly after the entrepreneur made the public announcement, Rayzor took to social media to explain that he “dodged a bullet” and “walked away clean” from their relationship.
“I wish I would have dodged them licks. Not acting like he ain’t just fight and drag me on the interstate. Whew chile. Don’t gaslight me before I spill fareal.”
Since then, Rayzor has returned to Instagram to deny his ex-fiancée’s allegations. In a post shared on Sunday, December 31, Rayzor alleged that he did not “physically harm” Supa Cent.
Instead, he seemed to refer to the incident and their subsequent split as a “misunderstanding.”
Furthermore, Rayzor also explained that he is “fighting” for his family.
Kyle Richards is in the best shape of her life. “I think back to when I was in my 20s and 30s, and I look better than I did then, and that’s after having four kids,” says the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star. “It’s definitely never too late.” Richards, 54, has made fitness a priority as she continues to navigate her separation from her husband of 27 years, Mauricio Umansky. (They are parents to daughters Alexia, 27, Sophia, 23, and Portia, 15; Richards also shares Farrah, 35, with ex Guraish Aldjufrie.) “When I was younger, I used to work out to lose weight,” says the former actress. “Now it’s for me — first and foremost, my mental health. The fact that it makes me look good is just a bonus.” Richards opens more about staying fit and what the future holds in Us Weekly‘s cover story.
You look fantastic. What inspired you to transform your body? I had a breast reduction [in 2022], and I wasn’t able to work out for eight weeks. At the time, I was on vacation in Europe, eating pasta and drinking wine and cocktails. By the end of the trip, I didn’t recognize myself. I had also just lost my best friend to suicide, and I wasn’t taking care of myself. And [it was] making me feel more depressed. So after we left, I said, “That’s it. I’m not going to have bad carbs — no sugar, no pasta, no bread, no alcohol. And I’m going to work out every single day.”
Did you notice a big difference? I started seeing results pretty fast. Even though I wasn’t a big drinker, removing alcohol made such a difference in my skin and how I felt.
What do you do for exercise? I’ve always worked out, but I was doing the same thing on repeat — I’d go on hikes and spin. I started including weights, hot yoga [and] running, especially when going through a hard time. It really clears my head.
Your abs are amazing! I wanted to get a tummy tuck when I had my breast reduction, and the doctor wouldn’t do it; he said we’ll talk about it [later]. I started doing a Peloton 10-minute abs thing, then 15 minutes every day.
Some people have called your new look your “revenge body.” Do you agree with that? It’s certainly not meant to be a revenge body. It’s meant to be an I-feel-good body.
“I’m very determined in what I want from my life and what my personal goals are,” says Richards in Us Weekly’s cover story.Us Weekly
You’ve been open about overcoming body struggles. Are you proud of getting to such a healthy place? As someone who [had] body image issues their whole life, it’s kind of funny that I’d be on the cover of [a diet and fitness] issue [of the magazine]. Growing up with my sisters, they were both blond and skinny, which [was] very much the look. I was brunette and curvy, and I was always trying to be thin. I started working out when I was 15, but I’ve learned to switch things up and what my body needs.
What do you do when you’re not motivated? I make the commitment every day. If I have to take a 5 A.M. flight, fine, I have to skip my workout at my house, but I can always do abs in my hotel room.
What do you eat during a typical day? Breakfast is either a protein shake with a banana or oatmeal with berries. For a snack, I like apples and peanut butter or string cheese. I eat raw nuts when I want something crunchy or a healthy popcorn. Lunch is chicken or grilled fish on salad. At night, I eat a lot of salmon, halibut, chicken paillard with arugula and lemon. I like eating at home so I know what’s going into my food.
Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky were married for more than two decades before they shocked fans with their separation in 2023. Richards was previously married to Guraish Aldjufrie, with whom she shares daughter Farrah, from 1988 to 1992. She met Umansky in 1994, and the couple exchanged vows two years later. Richards was four months […]
Would you say your diet is just as important as exercise? You have to be committed to both. If I don’t eat well, it affects my mood.
What’s your ultimate body goal? I don’t want to lose any more weight. I’m five-foot-two, and the heaviest I ever was was 132 [pounds], which I believe was after my trip to Europe. Now it’s settled at 117. [But] I need to change up my workouts because my body has become accustomed. I have this trainer — CoryG Fitness on Instagram — and he’ll email me a routine. You have to keep changing it constantly, otherwise the progress will halt.
Do you have a favorite body part? My stomach surprises me. When I’m lying down, I can see I have a six-pack. When I stand up, I have loose skin from having babies, so I won’t be posing standing up. [Laughs] My legs are also really strong. I’ve been spinning for years.

What’s your advice for people looking to make lifestyle changes? It’s about surrounding yourself with people who will support you. My friends happen to be like me. We want to take care of our bodies and enjoy hiking and then grabbing coffee.
Are you still not drinking? I haven’t had one drop of alcohol since July 15, 2022. I don’t miss it. After two glasses of wine, I’d wake up and feel [like I was] dragging. Like, “I’m going to skip my workout today. I’m tired, and I feel like having In-N-Out.” It was a domino effect. I was never a big drinker, so you’d think, how much of a difference could it make? But it really does.
Do you think you’ll continue to abstain from alcohol? I don’t see myself drinking again. I love the way I feel and look.
Has everyone been supportive of your decision to stop drinking? When you choose to stop drinking on your own, it’s interesting how it’s met with such resistance from your peers. In the beginning, I was like, I’m just going to pretend [I’m drinking]. I would whisper to the waiter, “I’m going to order a vodka soda, and then just bring me a club soda.” But then a couple of my friends were like, “What are you doing? You drink margaritas.” It just got to the point where I was like, “Why am I having to pretend at my age?” I think about my daughters and peer pressure, and here I am, feeling like I don’t want to be pressured into this. So I stopped pretending. I was just like, “Guys, I promise you, I am still going to be fun.”
On RHOBH, some cast members talked about you going to the gym on vacation and hinted you’ve replaced alcohol with exercise… I don’t understand why doing something good for you is looked down upon. I was up at five o’clock, why wouldn’t I do something that makes me feel good and gives me energy? Maybe it’s a reflection of something they don’t like about themselves.
What does self-care mean to you? Today [was] a self-care day. I worked out, took Portia to school and now I need to go to HomeGoods and buy ridiculous things I don’t need. That makes me feel good! And then I’ll go to bed early with a good book.

Have you been watching this season of RHOBH? Yes. Sometimes it gives me anxiety, and sometimes it’s OK. It was difficult shooting the season because I was going through stuff in my marriage, but our daughters didn’t know, and I didn’t feel like sharing it on camera quite yet. But I was honest with the [cast]. When they started grilling me, I was like, “Why are you acting like I haven’t been honest? I told you it’s the worst year we’ve ever had.” Did they want me to take them inside my bedroom? I don’t know what they wanted me to do. I felt like people I considered my friends hurt me.
Was there anything specific you were nervous for viewers to see? [Things] about my marriage. I didn’t know how to navigate it off-camera, let alone on-camera.
What’s your message to fans? People were upset when they heard [Mauricio and I] were having problems. I felt like we let people down. [Starts crying] Some were saying [our marriage] was a farce the whole time. But there were also sweet and supportive messages. I didn’t know so many people cared, but they’ve been in my home for 13 years watching us.
Do you feel closer to a place of happiness now? In a lot of ways, I feel happy, but I’m also still struggling because it’s all new to me. I’ve been married my whole life.
What’s your relationship with Mauricio currently? We still live in the same house and we spent [the holidays] together. I have no idea how long we’ll be like that, but we are trying to be as normal as possible in a very un-normal situation.
Is there still love there? We love each other. We go to therapy. We both want to see each other happy. I don’t know what the future looks like. That’s the hardest part because the unknown is scary.

You recently ran a 10K with your friend [singer] Morgan Wade. Do you motivate each other? All my friends do. I’ve been shooting a documentary on the road with Morgan, so we’ll go to the gym together.
What’s happening with the doc? I’ll probably be shooting that for [a few] more months. It started out as a documentary and then kind of turned into something else… I better stop.
Are you and Morgan sick of all the dating rumors? I don’t even think about it anymore. It doesn’t faze me.
Do you regret putting your friendship with her on the show? In the beginning I did because even though she’s an artist and a musician, she’s not someone who wants this attention. I felt bad about that.
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards’ close friendship with Morgan Wade has raised eyebrows amid her ongoing separation from husband Mauricio Umanksy. Richards and Umansky opened up about experiencing “a rough year” in their marriage via a joint Instagram statement in July 2023. The pair also seemingly addressed fan speculation regarding the nature […]
How did Mauricio respond to the RHOBH scene where you tattoo your initial on Morgan’s arm? He likes Morgan a lot. We’ve gone to her shows [as a] family. What they didn’t show [in that scene] was me saying, “I’m going to do a tattoo on you,” and her saying, “You can, I don’t care.” I was drawing flowers, a pumpkin, but I can’t draw to save my life, so that’s why I ended up just doing a K.
You wrote a memoir in 2011. Would you ever write another book? I’d write one about mental health and anxiety. I think I had my first panic attack when I was 12, and it got so bad during different times in my life that it was debilitating. I took Prozac, I took Lexapro, and oddly enough, I don’t take anything now even though I’m going through such a hard time. I used humor [and had other] ways of dealing with it because nobody wanted to talk about it. But when I lost my best friend, I thought, “OK, this is a mental health issue I would like to address because of what happened to her and how it affected me.”

What did 2023 teach you? That I can handle a lot more than I ever imagined and am stronger than I realized.
What are you looking to leave behind as we go into the new year? Negativity and any stress and pain I’ve been holding on to. I want things to be a little more quiet and I want to go into 2024 happy and at peace.
Sophie Turner will celebrate Christmas with her and Joe Jonas‘ two daughters in the U.K.
Jonas, 34, sent their kids, Willa, 3, and Delphine, 15 months, overseas on December 17, and they are to remain with Turner, 27, until January 7, according to court documents obtained by People on Sunday, December 24.
While his daughters are in England, Jonas appeared to be in France. He posted an Instagram Story on Christmas Eve that showed him looking out at a building with a French flag.
This is Jonas and Turner’s first holiday season since they broke up earlier this year. The duo tied the knot in 2019, and Jonas filed for divorce in September. They announced their split one day after Us Weekly confirmed Jonas filed to end their union.
This past year had Us questioning whether love is even real after a months-long onslaught of celebrity breakups. One of the first shocking splits that took the world by storm in 2023 was Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix. Us Weekly confirmed in March that the Vanderpump Rules stars broke up after nearly a decade of […]
“After four wonderful years of marriage we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage,” the estranged couple said in a joint statement at the time, claiming it was a “united decision.”
Turner and Jonas’ divorce briefly got messy when the Game of Thrones alum sued the Jonas Brothers singer over custody of their two children, who hold dual U.S. and U.K. citizenship. Turner claimed that he was prohibiting her from bringing Willa and Delphine back to her home country of England, but they reached a temporary custody agreement in October.

“After a productive and successful mediation, we have agreed that the children will spend time equally in loving homes in both the U.S. and the UK,” Jonas and Turner told Us in a joint statement at the time. “We look forward to being great coparents.”
The arrangement included plans to alternate Willa and Delphine’s residency every couple of weeks. “They’re going to see how this arrangement works out and then make a final decision on the permanent solution, but for now, they can relax,” a source exclusively told Us at the time, adding that the estranged couple “are so thankful that they were able to come to a mutual agreement” about the kids.

Since her split from Jonas, Turner has started dating again and has been linked to aristocrat Peregrine “Perry” Pearson since October. “Sophie is open to the idea of dating again,” a source told Us in November. “She isn’t fully committed to anybody at the moment, but she’s definitely putting herself out there and keeping her options open.”
Earlier this month, an insider told Us that “Sophie has been casually dating a few people since her split from Joe,” though she “really seems to like spending time with Perry.”
