| Everything We Know So Far About Kim and Pete Davidson’s Rumored Romance Posted: 18 Nov 2021 08:58 AM PST True love or just friends? Since Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson were first spotted spending time together in October 2021, fans couldn’t help but wonder what’s really going on between the duo. The Skims founder and the Saturday Night Live star first turned heads when they were photographed holding hands on a roller-coaster ride at Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park, California, shortly before Halloween. The pair visited the theme park with other people, including Kourtney Kardashian and her fiancé, Travis Barker, but their cozy moment still made headlines. "Kim and Pete seemed like good friends," an eyewitness told Us Weekly at the time, adding that several security guards accompanied the group on the trip. "Kim seemed very chill. It did seem like she was trying to hide.” The pairing came as a surprise to fans of both the comedian and the KKW Beauty mogul, but they do share many friends and acquaintances in common. Davidson is BFFs with Machine Gun Kelly, who is close to Barker, and Kelly’s girlfriend, Megan Fox, is friendly with Kourtney. (The latter duo teamed up for a racy Skims ad campaign in September 2021.) Perhaps their biggest person in common, however, is Kim’s estranged husband, Kanye West, who often collaborates with Davidson’s pal Kid Cudi. Back in 2019, the comedian went to a birthday dinner for the “Pursuit of Happiness” rapper that the couple affectionately known as Kimye also attended. The Selfish author filed for divorce from the Grammy winner in February 2021 following six years of marriage. The pair share four children: North (born in June 2013), Saint (born in December 2015), Chicago (born in January 2018) and Psalm (born in May 2019). Until she was spotted with Davidson, Kim hadn’t been publicly linked to anyone since she announced her split from West. In June 2021, a source told Us that the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum wasn’t yet ready to put herself out there again. "She's not focused on dating at the moment but actually worries that guys will not want to date her because of how public her relationship was with Kanye," the insider explained at the time. "She also knows how hard it is to build trust with someone so she thinks it's going to take time before letting someone into her private life.” The King of Staten Island actor, for his part, called it quits with Phoebe Dynevor in August 2021 after five months of dating. "The distance put a strain on the relationship and it made it hard to maintain," a source told Us of the split. (Davidson is based in New York City, while the Bridgerton star lives in the U.K.) Keep scrolling for everything to know about Davidson and Kim’s relationship:  During an April 2019 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Davidson told a story about how he got roped into paying for Kid Cudi's birthday dinner at Nobu that year, which was also attended by Timothée Chalamet, Kim and West. "Kim and Kanye [are] the cutest couple ever," the Suicide Squad star told Jimmy Fallon. "Very, very sweet people. I had a really good time with them."

During one sketch, she played the Jasmine to his Aladdin, and the duo shared an onscreen kiss. YouTube  “No one really knows what is going on with Kim and Pete,” an insider exclusively told Us after the duo's night out at the theme park. “They are just friends right now, but things could turn romantic.” A second source, meanwhile, noted that the law student was "surprised" by the amount of chemistry she had with the comedian. Shutterstock (2)  In November 2021 — just days after the Knott's Berry Park outing — the pair met up again in Davidson's native New York City for dinner at the Staten Island restaurant Campania. According to an eyewitness, the twosome entered through a back door and "shared a couple of pizzas" in a private dining room. Shutterstock (2)  One day after their pizza dinner, Davidson and Kim shared a meal with friends at Zero Bond in Manhattan. Us confirmed at the time that the duo arrived at the restaurant separately and were later joined by a group. Shutterstock (2)  Davidson celebrated his 28th birthday in November 2021 with Kardashian and her mom, Kris Jenner. In snapshots shared by Flavor Flav, who also attended the small party, the trio wore matching plaid pajamas, seemingly from Kardashian's Skims collection. While it’s unclear where the get-together took place, the decor in Flav’s Instagram photos looks very similar to Jenner’s Palm Springs, California home. Courtesy of Flavor Flav/Instagram |
| Every Time Hannah Ann Sluss Has Thrown Shade at Ex Peter Weber Posted: 18 Nov 2021 08:50 AM PST Hannah Ann Sluss is still calling for shade! The Bachelor season 23 winner has been sending her ex-fiancé, Peter Weber, a message after their breakup. The model and the pilot got engaged during the finale of the Bachelor, which taped in November 2019. Two months later, however, Peter admitted that he still had feelings for Madison Prewett, who quit the show during the final week. While they split in January 2020, fans watched their breakup air in March 2020. "All I've ever asked for is someone to give me my whole heart like I'm giving to them," she told Peter during their split. "You took away from me my first engagement. You took that away from me because I trusted you, and that's what you continued to ask me to do." The twosome subsequently reunited on the live After the Final Rose special, which aired on March 10, 2020. "I should've really picked up on the first red flag you gave me — that you wanted to reach out to Hannah Brown to find closure with her," she quipped at the time. "So really, looking back on it, our engagement involved three women: Me, you still being in love with Madison, and you needing closure with Hannah Brown.” In the days following the reunion, Hannah Ann took to Instagram to open up about the importance of trust. "Trusting can be really difficult but without it, connectivity and relationships suffer," she wrote on March 22, 2020. "For those who have freely trusted and been let down, I feel you. It takes guts to trust once again, to rebuild the courage to be vulnerable and transparent." While Hannah Ann didn't name Peter, many fans thought she was sending him a cryptic message. She was more direct, however, when David Spade asked her about the photos of Peter reuniting with fellow contestant Kelley Flanagan, who was sent home during week 7, in Chicago. "When I saw the pictures, I really wasn't that surprised by it," she said on Lights Out With David Spade on March 30. "In regards to Kelley, I met her through the show. We were friends and we were dating the same guy, so me seeing her with someone that I had dated, it doesn't really make me as upset if it wasn't for any other circumstance." She concluded: "They can choose to do what they want to do. I'm just glad that I'm out of the love triangle, love square. It's a square now." Scroll through for a rundown of Hannah Ann's shade:  Hannah Ann’s first social media post after the finale said it all. “Flyin’ solo… no turbulence accepted. PERIOD,” she captioned a photo of herself. Courtesy Hannah Ann Sluss/Instagram  Hannah Ann did not hold back in her first interview about Peter after the finale. "He speaks half-truths,” she said on the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast. “While I’m watching this season I’m like, 'Oh OK, that makes a lot more sense. Why we broke up makes a whole lot more sense because he couldn’t really own up to the fact of how he was truly feeling.'" She added that he was “reckless” with her heart. ABC/Maarten de Boer  Hannah Ann implied Peter was a bad kisser during a March appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. After guest host Sean Hayes her if the pilot is a good kisser, she shook her head and replied, “I don’t know about that one.” Michael Rozman/Warner Bros.; Vanessa Carvalho/Shutterstock  Hannah Ann “liked” a series of shady tweets about Peter after he reunited with Kelley. “Raise hands if you knew Peter was a f*ckboi and are not surprised Peter’s now hooking up with a third woman from his season after it ended,” one post read. “@HannahannSluss warned us when she said Peter had been talking to multiple woman [sic] while they were still engaged. #thebachelor.” A second tweet “liked” by Hannah Ann read, “And apparently one of those women might have been her friend… ouch well at least she walked out of it like a QUEEN so kudos Hannah.” ABC/John Fleenor (3)  She wiped all traces of Peter from her Instagram account at the end of March. MEGA; ABC/John Fleenor  Hannah Ann wasn’t impressed with Peter’s quarantine magic tricks. The model interacted with fans who criticized his posts in April. “Imagine how satisfied Hannah Ann must be to see her ex doing magic on Instagram,” one user tweeted at Hannah Ann. A second replied, “HAHAHA she’s like BYE BITCH see ya never, THE QUEEN @HannahannSluss WON!!!!” Hannah Ann then retweeted the posts. ABC/Maarten de Boer; ABC/John Fleenor; ABC/Eric McCandless  “The vegetable that represents Peter’s manhood would be cauliflower because it has no taste,” she quipped on Kaitlyn Bristowe’s “Off the Vine” podcast in April while playing plead the fifth. “Because cauliflower needs, like, a lot of flavor, it needs a lot. It’s just bland.” INSTARimages.com; MEGA  The Tennessee native said that she wanted her next boyfriend to be the "opposite" of Weber on Wells Adams and Brandi Cyrus' "Your Favorite Thing" podcast in April. "Gosh, my type changes after, like, with every guy that I'm interested in," Sluss said at the time. "OK, the next guy I'm looking for—the type, I want him to be very hunky. I want him to be very manly. Very manly. Very, very decisive. Very independent. I want him to be, like, very manly and, like no messing around. Just to the point, decisive. And, I want him to be hot, like, super hot and hunky." ABC/Eric McCandless; ABC/John Fleenor  After photos of Hannah Ann with Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph surfaced in late April, she “liked” an Instagram comment calling her new man “the upgrade of the century.” ABC/Maarten de Boer (2); Tom E Puskar/AP/Shutterstock  While asking her followers for Father’s Day gift ideas in June 2020, Hannah Ann reposted a shady answer via her Instagram Stories. “Get him a picture of you telling Pete he’s not a man. After that season he would love that!” the fan submission read. Courtesy of Hannah Ann/Instagram  Hannah Ann and Madison joined Chris Harrison for a joint interview on The Bachelor: GOAT in June 2020. When asked if she would give Peter another shot if he came “crawling back,” Hannah Ann replied, “What kind of question is that Chris Harrison? I think we already know the answer to that one!” Michael Simon/startraksphoto.com  After Hannah revealed that she and Peter secretly hooked up in February 2020 — shortly after his split from Hannah Ann — the Tennessee native made a shady TikTok. “That was embarrassing. I really hope you’re embarrassed. Wow,” she lip-synced in November 2021. She captioned the video: “When the tea officially spills…” INSTARimages.com; ABC; Shutterstock |

| Selena Gomez Cofounds Mental Health Company With Her Mom Posted: 18 Nov 2021 08:04 AM PST Starting a dialogue. Selena Gomez has spoken candidly about her struggles with mental health over the years. The singer first sought treatment in 2014 after she was diagnosed with lupus. She has since attended various voluntary programs to manage anxiety, panic attacks and depression. Nine months after she completed treatment in January 2018, Us Weekly confirmed she was seeking "opened-ended" mental health treatment. In April 2020, the Getaway star revealed that she had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. “It doesn’t scare me once I know it,” she told Miley Cyrus in an episode of the latter’s “Bright Minded” Instagram series. “I think people get scared of that, right?” The Rare Beauty founder has also used her platform to raise awareness about mental health, both by hosting conversations with experts and shedding light on various issues through her projects. From 2017 to 2020, she served as an executive producer on the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why, which sparked many discussions about the struggles contemporary teens and young adults face. "This is happening every day," Gomez said during an Elvis Duran and the Morning Show interview in 2017, referring to the show’s serious themes. "Whether or not you wanted to see it, that's what's happening. The content is complicated. It's dark and it has moments that are honestly very hard to swallow, and I understood that we were doing something that is difficult.” During the coronavirus pandemic, which brought mental health to the forefront for people all over the world, the “Bad Liar” songstress continued to speak out about the importance of checking in with your emotions. In October 2020, she hosted an Instagram Live with Dr. Vivek Murthy, President Joe Biden’s surgeon general, to discuss the feelings of loneliness she was experiencing while in lockdown. "In the beginning I couldn't deal with it that well," she said, discussing the early months of quarantine. "But then I started going into a place where I as writing and being active; it forced me to have that time. I've been able to spend time with those quality people a lot more than I ever have, and I'm spending a lot more time with my family." Murthy explained that Gomez’s story was a great example of why it’s important to share how you’re feeling. "If you recognize that [almost everyone is struggling in some way], you'll recognize that there's many ways to reach out," he said. "When we serve other people, we shift the focus from ourselves to them in the context of a positive interaction … and we reaffirm to ourselves that we have value to bring to the world."  A rep for Gomez confirmed she sought treatment in February 2014. Shortly after, she thanked fans for their support on Instagram: “I’ve done everything I could to the best of my ability. Thank you for the unconditional love and cyber hugs. You inspire me." Allen Berezovsky/WireImage/Getty Images  The Disney alum gave an inspiring speech at the We Day conference in March 2014. "I'm surrounded by people who are supposed to guide me, and some of them have, and others haven't. They pressure me. There's so much pressure. You gotta be sexy, you gotta be cute, you gotta be nice. You gotta be all these things,” she told the crowd. "They tell me what to wear, how to look, what I should say, how I should be. Until recently, I had given into that pressure. I lost sight of who I was. I listened to opinions of people, and I tried to change who I am because I thought that others would accept me for it." C Flanigan/FilmMagic/Getty Images  After Gomez sent a struggling fan words of encouragement on Instagram, she screenshotted her message and shared it with her millions of followers. "By me following you is not me saying it's ok to think these thoughts. It's not me saying 'hey you said sad things, so I'm going to follow you to make you feel better'. God puts us in situations that are so unexplainably difficult for a reason. There is someone in the world feeling so much, just like you,” she wrote in February 2015. "People everyday feel so many emotions they wish they could turn it off. But that's not why we are here. We are here for relationships, for people just like us who feel worthless. Your purpose is to share, help, encourage. Remember that. Please. Before you think of taking your life, think of all the [lives] you could save. I love you. More importantly there is a God that will love more than I ever could." Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic/Getty Images  In April 2016, the “Same Old Love” songstress explained her decision to go to rehab years earlier. "I got diagnosed with lupus. My mom had a very public miscarriage. So I had to cancel my tour. I needed time to just be OK,” she told GQ. ”It’s really frustrating, because I am 100 percent allowed to have that, but I think people just want to have some sort of — I understand what you’re asking. But I’m just saying, I don’t think it really matters. My past seems to be way more fascinating for people than my future, which bums me out … Why do you care?" Angela Weiss/Getty Images  Gomez revealed she was taking a step back from the public eye in August 2016 to cope with the side effects from Lupus. “As many of you know, around a year ago I revealed that I have Lupus, an illness that can affect people in different ways. I’ve discovered that anxiety, panic attacks and depression can be side effects of Lupus, which can present their own challenges,” she said in a statement to Us Weekly. “I want to be proactive and focus on maintaining my health and happiness and have decided that the best way forward is to take some time off. Thank you to all my fans for your support. You know how special you are to me, but I need to face this head on to ensure I am doing everything possible to be my best. I know I am not alone and by sharing this, I hope others will be encouraged to address their own issues.” Emma McIntyre/Getty Images  The “Hands to Myself” crooner made her first post-rehab appearance at the American Music Awards in November 2016. “In 2014 this stage was actually the first time I was authentically 100 percent honest with all of you,” a teary Gomez told the audience. “I think it’s safe to say most of you know a lot of my life whether I liked it or not. I had to stop because I had everything and I was absolutely broken inside and I kept it all together enough to where I would never let you down, but I kept it too much together to where I let myself down.” “I don’t want to see your bodies on Instagram. I want to see what’s in here,” Gomez continued while pointing to her heart. “I’m so grateful to be able to share what I love with people that I love. You guys are so damn loyal but if you are broken you do not have to stay broken.” Barcroft Images/Barcroft Media/Getty Images  Gomez shared an emotional message with fans on Thanksgiving Day in 2016, admitting it was her “hardest” but “most rewarding” year yet. “I’ve finally fought the fight of not 'being enough.' I have only wanted to reflect the love you guys have given me for years and show how important it is to take care of YOU,” she wrote. “By grace through faith. Kindness always wins. I love you guys. God bless.” Kevin Winter/Getty Images  While promoting season 1 of 13 Reasons Why, Gomez, who served as an executive producer on the series, revealed she related to the story. “I went away for 90 days and I actually met tons of kids in this place [and] we are talking about a lot of the issues that these characters are experiencing, [so] I would say yes,” Gomez said during a panel in February 2017. “I had to deal with it on a different scale. Whether it was kids or just growing up in the biggest high school in the world which was the Disney Channel, it was also adults that had the audacity to kind of tell me how I should live my life. It was very confusing for me. … I had no idea who I was gonna be, what I'm still going to become. It definitely hit home.” She added: “I think this is what they need to see. We are not gonna post things, like, ‘Hey be empowered,' because that's not what they wanna see. Kids don't care. They have to see something that's gonna shake something. I want them to understand it. I would do anything to have a good influence on this generation. It's hard, but I definitely relate to everything going on.” JB Lacroix/WireImage/Getty Images  Gomez admitted to Vogue in March 2017 that she feels “really lonely” on tour. “My self-esteem was shot. I was depressed, anxious. I started to have panic attacks right before getting on stage, or right after leaving the stage. Basically I felt I wasn’t good enough, wasn’t capable,” she revealed. “I felt I wasn’t giving my fans anything, and they could see it—which, I think, was a complete distortion. I was so used to performing for kids.” “At concerts I used to make the entire crowd raise up their pinkies and make a pinky promise never to allow anybody to make them feel that they weren’t good enough. Suddenly I have kids smoking and drinking at my shows, people in their 20s, 30s, and I’m looking into their eyes, and I don’t know what to say. I couldn’t say, ‘Everybody, let’s pinky-promise that you’re beautiful!’” Gomez continued. “It doesn’t work that way, and I know it because I’m dealing with the same shit they’re dealing with. What I wanted to say is that life is so stressful, and I get the desire to just escape it. But I wasn’t figuring my own stuff out, so I felt I had no wisdom to share. And so maybe I thought everybody out there was thinking, This is a waste of time.” Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images  When Gomez moderated a movie screening for Heaven Knows What in August 2017, she revealed she “really like the mental aspect” of the film. “The beginning of the movie struck with me… that’s not really a secret, but, I for sure have talked about that and have done a lot of those exercises.” Jeff Spicer/Getty Images  “Anyone who knows me knows I will always start with my health and my well-being,” she began in her March 2018 Harper’s Bazaar cover story. “I’ve had a lot of issues with depression and anxiety, and I’ve been very vocal about it, but it’s not something I feel I’ll ever overcome. There won’t be a day when I’m like, ‘Here I am in a pretty dress — I won!’ I think it’s a battle I’m gonna have to face for the rest of my life, and I’m OK with that because I know that I’m choosing myself over anything else.” Samir Hussein /WireImage/Getty Images  “The beauty myth- an obsession with physical perfection that traps modern woman in an endless cycle of hopelessness, self consciousness, and self-hatred as she tries to fulfill society’s impossible definition of flawless beauty,” Gomez wrote on Instagram in March 2018. “I chose to take care of myself because I want to, not to prove anything to anyone. Wind in her sails.” Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images  After Gomez completed another stint in treatment in December 2018, she broke her silence via Instagram the following January. “It’s been awhile since you have heard from me, but I wanted to wish everyone a happy new year and to thank you for your love and support,” she wrote. “Last year was definitely a year of self-reflection, challenges and growth. It’s always those challenges which show you who you are and what you are capable of overcoming. Trust me, it’s not easy, but I am proud of the person I am becoming and look forward to the year ahead. Love you all.” George Pimentel/Getty Images for Sundance Film Festival  Gomez sang about her mental health battle in a song with Julia Michaels titled “Anxiety,” released in January 2019. “But all my friends they don't know, what it's like, what it's like / They don't understand why, I can't sleep through the night,” she sings. “And I thought that I could take something to fix it / Damn I wish it, I wish it was that simple, ah, ah.” Emma McIntyre/AMA2017/Getty Images for dcp  “I feel great, yeah,” she told NPR in January 2020. “I'm on the proper medication that I need to be on, even as far as my mental health. I fully believe in just making sure you check in with your doctors or therapist. [Taking care of mental health — ] that's forever. That's something I will have to continue to work on. Yes, I don't think I just magically feel better. I have days where it is hard for me to get out of bed, or I have major anxiety attacks. All of that still happens.” Global Citizen/Shutterstock  The “Lose You to Love Me” singer opened up about seeking professional help and treatment during an interview with WSJ. Magazine in January 2020. "I found out I do suffer from mental health issues. And, honestly, that was such a relief," she said. "I realized that there was a way to get help and to find people that you trust. I got on the right medication, and my life has been completely changed.” Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP/Shutterstock  In April 2020, Gomez revealed she was bipolar during an appearance on Miley Cyrus’ Instagram Live series, Bright Minded: Live With Miley. “Recently I went to one of the best mental hospitals in the world … And I discussed that after years of going through a lot of different things I realized that I was bipolar,” she explained. “When I have more information, it actually helps me, it doesn’t scare me once I know it,” the former child actress continued. “When I finally said what I was going to say, I wanted to know everything about it and it took the fear away.” Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP/Shutterstock  During a virtual WarnerMedia Television Critics Association press tour in August 2020, Gomez spoke about her diagnosis and coping amid the coronavirus pandemic. "It's not easy for anyone to be walking through what we're walking through. It's not normal, and it's affecting people, specifically with mental health, and people who could have never thought about things they're thinking about now. And it's really confusing.” Willy Sanjuan/Invision/AP/Shutterstock  In March 2021, the 13 Reasons Why producer spoke about when she knew she needed help. “I knew I couldn’t go on unless I learned to listen to my body and mind when I really needed help,” she told Vogue. “And then I start thinking about my personal life, and I’m like, ‘What am I doing with my life?’ and it becomes this spiral.” Matt Baron/Shutterstock  In April 2021, the "Lose You to Love Me" songstress announced a new campaign with her Rare Beauty brand "to help support mental health education, empower our community and encourage financial support for more mental health services in educational settings." In an Instagram post about the new initiative, called Mental Health 101, Gomez opened up about her own past struggles with depression, explaining that she wants her experience to remind others coping with mental health issues that they are not alone. "I know firsthand how scary and lonely it can feel to face anxiety and depression by yourself at a young age," she wrote. "If I had learned about my mental health earlier on — been taught about my condition in school that way I was taught about other subjects — my journey could have looked very different. The world needs to know that mental health matters. It's just as important as your physical health, and I wish we could all acknowledge that, not just in words but through our actions." Shutterstock  Gomez candidly spoke about her treatment via a Vogue Australia interview in June 2021. “I’ve studied DBT, which is Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I’ve been to four treatment centers,” she explained. “I think in mental health, I never understood the stigma until I went to my first treatment center because that was years ago. But then there was a photograph that got out, and it’s wild to see how mean they were. It was like: ‘She’s the next this person, she’s the childhood star,’ whatever. And: ‘She’s doing drugs.’ They’re saying all this stuff about me. I’m watching all of that change, slowly but surely, because now, if any media outlet made fun of me, they’re the ones that look like the asshole because we don’t tolerate that anymore. It’s actually crazy that I’m watching it happen, even though I know we have so much more to do. And I have goals. I want to put this as a curriculum into schools. I feel like I practice [DBT] every day … And then I also love being in the studio. Because the first hour I’m in a studio, I just talk. It’s like therapy. You just go in and you share your heart.” Chelsea Lauren/Shutterstock  In June 2021, the beauty founder spoke with Stellar magazine about how “impossible beauty standards” took a toll on her mental health, which inspired her to launch her own makeup brand. “Society constantly tells us that we’re not enough, so I wanted to start a brand to challenge and eliminate that pressure – to change the conversation,” she said. "My goal with Rare Beauty is to break down these unrealistic standards of beauty. I saw from personal experience how these impossible beauty standards were having such an effect on my mental health and I know a lot of people who felt the same way.” Richard Shotwell/Invision/AP/Shutterstock  “My lupus, my kidney transplant, chemotherapy, having a mental illness, going through very public heartbreaks — these were all things that honestly should have taken me down,” Gomez said in Elle’s first LatinX issue, published in August 2021. “Every time I went through something, I was like, ‘What else? What else am I going to have to deal with?’” The former Disney Channel star explained that she looked inward to get the strength to move forward. “You’re going to help people,” she recalled telling herself. “That’s really what kept me going. There could have been a time when I wasn’t strong enough and would have done something to hurt myself.” Inez & Vinoodh  In October 2021, the former child star recalled feeling "an immense amount of pressure" to set a good example for her fans early on in her career. "It was really confusing growing up, and once people created this narrative of my life, I realized I can't be quiet anymore," she told Beauty Inc. of the "unrealistic" expectations she was held to as a young actress and singer. "I have to just address what needs to be addressed, and that's me reclaiming my story, which is, 'OK, yeah, I was definitely going through a hard time, and this is why, and this is what I deal with.'"

Netflix  The “Tap In” rapper confirmed via Twitter on March 19 that she split from the Migos member after they dated for nearly three years. “I’m single. I’ve endured too much betrayal and hurt behind the scenes for a false narrative to be circulating that degrades my character,” she tweeted. “Presents don’t band aid scars and the love isn’t real when the intimacy is given to other women.” Saweetie wrote in another tweet, “I emotionally checked out a long time ago and have walked away with a deep sense of peace and freedom.

One of us is in Pittsburgh and the other is in Tucson, and neither one of us will be able to move anytime in the near future."

We have both made commitments to cities that are over 2,000 miles apart," the pair, who met on season 2 of the show in 2020, added. "This was not a decision we took lightly.

| My Unorthodox Life's Batsheva Haart, Ben Weinstein Split: What Went Wrong? Posted: 18 Nov 2021 07:53 AM PST  Batsheva Haart is ready to be a single woman. The My Unorthodox Life star and husband Ben Weinstein have called it quits after nine years of marriage, Us Weekly can confirm. "Batsheva and Ben are getting divorced," a source tells Us, noting that the 28-year-old social media influencer has been "living" at mom Julia Haart's house "the last few weeks." The insider adds that their relationship fizzled. "People change and shift, that's what happened here. They made a loving decision to separate," the source says. Netflix viewers met the Haart family when season 1 of My Unorthodox Life started streaming earlier this year. While the show centered around Julia's life and fashion brand following her exit from her former ultra-Orthodox Jewish community, Batsheva's relationship with Weinstein was also a story line. The twosome, who wed in 2012 shortly after they graduated high school, argued over the boundaries of their new life in New York City as they distanced themselves from their religion. They also struggled with when to start a family as Batsheva wasn't ready and Weinstein was eager to have kids. During an August YouTube video, both Batsheva and Weinstein, who quietly marked nine years of marriage in October, admitted that they wouldn't "recommend" getting married at such a young age. “I don’t regret getting married young because who I married, but I would not recommend getting married young,” he said. Batsheva added, "I never like to say I regret anything in my life, but if circumstances happened again, I definitely would not get married so young. Getting married at 19 is too young.”  When asked for marriage advice, Weinstein replied, "Try to do as many things as you can on your own. … Try to spend as much time on your own together, cooking dinner with each other, doing your own thing to establish your own independence and try not to start off your relationship by being reliant on other people.” While the pair have yet to publicly comment on the split, their social media activity has spoken volumes. Batsheva, for her part, posted a photo of shots on Wednesday, November 17, while Weinstein hinted that he was off the Netflix reality show. "Officially not-famous," he wrote alongside a photo via Instagram. The duo have also seemingly deleted several snaps of each other on their respective profiles. Netflix renewed My Unorthodox Life in September. |
| Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes Packed on the PDA 2 Weeks Before Split Posted: 18 Nov 2021 06:46 AM PST A sign of the end? Two weeks before Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes announced their split, things appeared to be business as usual for the pair. The "Señorita" collaborators were spotted packing on the PDA during a beach day in Miami on November 3. Exactly 14 days later, the 24-year-old Cinderella star and the 23-year-old "In My Blood" crooner confirmed they called it quits via Instagram Stories. "Hey guys, we've decided to end our romantic relationship but our love for one another as humans is stronger than ever," their joint statement read. "We started our relationship as best friends and will continue to be best friends. We so appreciate your support from the beginning and moving forward. Camila and Shawn." After years as friends, Cabello and Mendes' relationship turned romantic in July 2019. By December 2020, things were serious between the duo as he told Entertainment Tonight that he "absolutely" thinks about popping the question one day. "I think for me it's always been if I'm not willing to talk about that stuff then I kind of check out a little bit, and I don't know, I really think when you know, you know," he said at the time. “She’s been one of my best friends since I was, like, 15 years old. I don’t know, at the same time, I know we are really young so I don’t want to jump, like, insanely fast, but I think when you find your person, you feel and you know that you have found your person.” The duo celebrated their second anniversary in July. "Happy 2 years my baby,” Mendes captioned a snap of them kissing at the time. In her own post, Cabello wrote, “Happy anniversary Kuko. Here’s to more joy, more friendship, and more love.” More recently, the former Fifth Harmony member got candid about the fact that the twosome both go to therapy and were open to going to couples therapy in the future. "For better, for worse, we're very transparent with each other. I think that's why we can trust each other so much, because it's a very 3D human relationship," she told Glamour in her October cover story. "I'll be venting or ranting about something, and he'll be like, 'Have you talked to X about it?' And I'll be like, 'No. I've got to do a session.' And he'll do the same thing to me. I think even just the language of being like, 'Hey, I'm sorry that I've been distant with you or snappy with you. I'm just struggling and I'm feeling kind of anxious.' That level of transparency really helps a lot." Mendes subsequently told the magazine via email that the twosome "give each extreme amount of patience and understanding." He explained: "I think the truth is that when you're struggling with mental health, it turns you sometimes into the version of yourself that you don't like to be — and kind of loving and accepting your person through that, and being there for them through that, is life-changing. We give each other so much space and understanding and patience." Scroll through to see the pics from their pre-split beach day:  Mendes and Cabello kissed in the water on November 3.

| Nicole! Katie! Look Back at Tom Cruise's Dating History Posted: 18 Nov 2021 06:00 AM PST Love is a risky business. Tom Cruise is one of Hollywood's hottest leading men — and he's had his fair share of famous flames off screen. The Jack Reacher star has been married three times: to Mimi Rogers from 1987 to 1990, to Nicole Kidman from 1990 to 2001 and to Katie Holmes from 2006 to 2012. As his career continued to skyrocket, his splits gained more attention. When his 11-year marriage to the Big Little Lies alum came to an end, fans suspected that Cruise's participation in Scientology was to blame. He later addressed his desire to keep the reason behind the decision private. "She knows why, and I know why," he told Vanity Fair of the split. "She's the mother of my children, and I wish her well. And I think that you just move on. And I don't say that lightly. I don't say that with anything. Things happen in life, and you do everything you can, and in every possible way, and there's a point at which you just sometimes have to face the brutal reality." Kidman, for her part, told the same outlet in 2002 that she "fell madly, passionately in love" with her former spouse. "He basically swept me off my feet. … And as happens when you fall in love, my whole plan in terms of what I wanted for my life — I was like, 'Forget it. This is it,'" she added. "I was consumed by it, willingly. And I was desperate to have a baby with him. I didn't care if we were married." At the time of their split, the Moulin Rouge! actress experienced an ectopic pregnancy. The now-exes adopted two children during their marriage, who Kidman has attempted to remain "very private" about through the years. "I have to protect those relationships. I know 150 percent that I would give up my life for my children because it's what my purpose is," she told Australia's Who magazine in 2019. "They are adults. They are able to make their own decisions. They have made choices to be Scientologists and, as a mother, it's my job to love them." Following his split from the Undoing star, Cruise moved on with Holmes, with whom he welcomed a daughter in 2006. They tied the knot the same year, but the Dawson's Creek alum filed for divorce in 2012. At the time of their separation, a source told Us Weekly that Kidman had reached out to Holmes. Years later, the Batman Begins star opened up about her transition into single motherhood. "That time was intense," she said in her April 2020 InStyle cover story. "It was a lot of attention, and I had a little child on top of it. … [I want] to make sure she is 100 percent herself and strong, confident, and able. And to know it." Scroll down for a closer look at Cruise's most famous relationships and flings:  The pair were linked in the 1980s, but Gilbert later clarified that theirs was an innocent connection. “I did not have sex with him. We made out, but honestly, there was no sex. He was a good kisser, but you know, he was like a struggling, starving actor and I was working. I actually bought him his first set of dishes,” she joked during a 2014 episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. Shutterstock  Locklear recalled going on a single date with Cruise after meeting him at an audition early on in his career — but they weren’t destined for love. “You know in Risky Business where he does that dance in his underwear and does the splits? We were dancing at a club and he went into that,” she said on a 2013 episode of Chelsea Lately. “He started doing the splits. You just kind of stand there and don’t know what to do. Do you dance around him?” Shutterstock  The Risky Business costars brought their chemistry into the real world in 1983 but they broke up after roughly two years. Shutterstock  The Moonstruck actress told Andy Cohen in 2013 that her 1985 fling with the Golden Globe winner was one of her top five lovers ever. Shutterstock  One year after they met, Cruise and Rogers tied the knot in May 1987. They divorced three years later. “I’d never been in love before. Since I’ve been with her, it’s opened me up a lot. I think it’s helped me be a better actor,” he told Rolling Stone ahead of their split. “We live a lot of life together. We share everything. … She’s my best friend.” Eric Charbonneau/Invision/AP/Shutterstock  The duo met while working together on Days of Thunder and got married in 1990. They went on to adopt children Isabella Jane (born 1992) and Connor Antony (born 1995) before splitting in 2001. Emma McIntyre/Getty Images  The Vanilla Sky costars connected shortly after Cruise’s divorce from Kidman, making their red carpet debut at the premiere of Captain Corelli’s Mandolin in August 2001. Both denied that their romance was the cause of Cruise and Kidman’s split, and by 2004, they’d called it quits themselves. Shutterstock  Cruise and the General Hospital actress — who is also a member of Scientology — dated from November 2004 to January 2005. Several years later, a Vanity Fair article claimed that Boniadi was selected by the organization specifically for Cruise. (The Church of Scientology denied the allegations.) Shutterstock  The former couple — lovingly known as TomKat — remain one of the most iconic of the mid-2000s despite their eventual split. Cruise’s feelings were so strong they caused him to jump up and down on a couch while declaring his love for Holmes on TV in 2005. They welcomed a daughter in 2006 months before they tied the knot in Italy. Holmes filed for divorce in 2012. Charles Sykes/Invision/AP/Shutterstock  The Orange Is the New Black alum was rumored to be dating Cruise in 2014, but she swiftly shut down the speculation. “It's just so funny that when people don't know, they just make stuff up,” she told SheKnows at the time. “Apparently I'm dating Tom Cruise right now.” Prepon wed Ben Foster four years later, and in 2021, she revealed that she was no longer practicing Scientology. Stephen Lovekin/Variety/Shutterstock  While working together on Mission: Impossible 7 in 2020, the costars were rumored to be an item, but never addressed the claims. In July 2021, they were spotted at the Wimbledon tournament in London with fellow Mission: Impossible actress Pom Klementieff. Shutterstock |
| Watch Hannah Ann's Shady Reaction to Peter and Hannah's Secret Hookup Posted: 18 Nov 2021 05:53 AM PST Hannah Ann Sluss has entered the chat. The Bachelor season 24 winner has made it clear that she has no regrets about her split from Peter Weber after Hannah Brown revealed details of their secret hookup. In Brown's upcoming memoir, God Bless This Mess, she writes about reconnecting with Weber while his season of The Bachelor was airing in early 2020. After ending his brief engagement to Sluss, 25, in late January, the pilot, 30, had sex with Brown, 27, at his parents' house after Dylan Barbour and Hannah Godwin's engagement party on February 22, 2020. After the revelation started making headlines on Wednesday, November 17, Sluss took to TikTok to lip-sync to the sound: "That was embarrassing. I really hope you're embarrassed. Wow." The clip included the words, "When the tea officially spills…"
In the caption, Sluss added, "Always trust your instincts ladies." While the Tennessee native didn't name Weber or Brown, she confirmed in the comments section of the social media post that she was referring to her ex. "Savage ain't a bad thing every once in a while," she replied to one TikToker who praised her post. "God did you a favor Hannah!" another fan wrote to which she responded, "There Is a God." When fellow Bachelor season 24 alum Alayah Benavidez commented, "Girl when I say my jaw DROPPED," she answered, "Because I never respond to anything."  Sluss, who noted she is "just being light hearted and fun" in another reply, also acknowledged several comments that pointed out that she "called" this and "warned" everyone at the After the Final Rose special in March 2020. "I should have really picked up on the first red flag that you gave to me, was when you wanted to reach out to Hannah Brown to find closure with her," Sluss said at the time. "So really, looking back at it, our engagement involved three women. Me, you still being in love with [runner-up] Madison [Prewett] and proposing to me and you needing closure with Hannah Brown. That's three women involved in our engagement that I was completely blindsided to. … Word of advice, if you want to be with a woman, you need to become a real man." Weber and Brown initially met on her season of The Bachelorette, which aired in summer 2019. While he finished in third place, the twosome still had feelings for each other when the former Miss Alabama filmed a group date on his season 24 of The Bachelor that fall. The last time she saw Weber was after their now-infamous February 2020 hookup.  "It was, like, this perfect storm that unfortunately there were some mistakes and all that, but [it] led me to getting the help that I needed," Brown exclusively told Us Weekly ahead of the book's release, noting that she didn't give Weber a warning about the book revelation. "So I think that story really was important. And I think it's relatable. … It's definitely a sign of making a poor decision when you're hurting. And I think a lot of girls can relate to that." Weber, for his part, confirmed Brown's story on the Thursday, November 18, episode of his "Bachelors in the City" podcast. "We spent the night with each other, and that was it," he said. "It wasn't the same as I think we had originally felt. But, nonetheless, it was great to talk and just have someone that kind of understood where I was coming from." |
| A Lasting Love! Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones Relationship Timeline Posted: 18 Nov 2021 05:40 AM PST A lasting love. Celebrity couples like Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones are the definition of "power couple." Douglas and Zeta-Jones were first introduced in 1998.”I had been told Michael Douglas wanted to meet me," the Chicago actress told Larry King in 2001. "I was a little nervous because I didn’t quite know what he wanted to meet me about.” Meanwhile, the Falling Down actor knew immediately that the duo would have a future together — but worried that a cheesy pickup line might have ruined his chances. “I said to her after about half an hour [of hanging out], ‘You know, I’m going to be the father of your children,'" he revealed during a 2016 appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show. "It sounded good, and she said, ‘You know, I’ve heard a lot about you and I’ve seen a lot about you, and I think it’s time I say goodnight.'” To correct his mistake, The Kominsky Method star sent her flowers and an apology, which seemed to work. He proposed to his love in 1999 and they said "I do" nearly one year later. They are the parents of a son, Dylan, and daughter, Carys. Douglas and Zeta-Jones have also proven that age is just a number, as the longtime couple — who share the same birthday, September 25 — have a 25-year age gap. "Catherine, my wife, and I have the same birthday," he explained on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in October 2019. "Twenty-five years apart, the same day, but who’s counting?" Zeta-Jones' parents are the same age as her spouse but they "never even question that there was a 25-year age difference," she said, according to E! News. Though their relationship has spanned two decades so far, the actors still encounter bumps along the way — just like any other couple. During a Today show appearance in November 2017, the Mask of Zorro actress spoke about overcoming obstacles in a marriage. "I think it's just unfathomable to me that you would be with one person for 18 years, and things are not rosy every day. They're just not," she said. "My mother and father were married for 52 years and they were a wonderful blueprint for me, because I've seen the good, the bad, and the ugly with them, and they're still going strong." Zeta-Jones then noted that she has "a very open relationship" with Douglas, and added that it's important for couples to "be open and honest and share things that, probably, people at the drugstore wouldn’t share over the counter." Douglas, for his part, told Us Weekly exclusively in September 2019 that it's crucial to "talk things out" with your significant other. "It's taken me a long time, but resentment is an easy thing to keep under the surface," he said. "I think most of the times it's really good to get things out sooner than later." Keep scrolling to take a closer look at Douglas and Zeta-Jones' relationship through the years:  The longtime loves first met at the Deauville Film Festival in France following an introduction from their mutual friends, then-couple Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith. During an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show in 2016, Douglas recalled telling his now-wife 30 minutes after meeting her: “You know, I’m going to be the father of your children.” Shutterstock  The War of Roses actor confirmed that the Mask of Zorro actress was expecting their first child together. Bei/Shutterstock  The Fatal Attraction actor proposed to the Ocean’s Twelve star at his home in Aspen on New Year’s Eve. Bei/Shutterstock  Douglas and Zeta-Jones welcomed their first child, Dylan. In August 2019, the Ant-Man actor posted a rare photo of the two to Instagram when celebrating his son’s 19th birthday. He noted how “proud” he was of the Brown University student. Courtesy of Michael Douglas/Instagram  The acting duo wed at the Plaza Hotel in New York City nearly one year after getting engaged. Their wedding commenced after Douglas’ divorce from film producer Diandra Luker — with whom he shares his eldest son, Cameron — was finalized earlier that year. The duo’s nuptials, which reportedly cost $1.5 million, was attended by the likes of Jennifer Aniston, Whoopi Goldberg and Tom Hanks. Mitch Jacobson/AP/Shutterstock  One month after tying the knot, the pair opted to skip venturing out on a honeymoon to spend time with their then 4-month-old son. In a quick update, Douglas told Reuters: “It doesn’t get any better than this. 2000 is not going to be a year that's forgotten.” Michael Caulfield/AP/Shutterstock  Douglas and Zeta-Jones’ movie, Traffic, hit theaters on December 27 of that year. Bedford Falls/Initial Ent/Kobal/Shutterstock  While attending a benefit for the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, the pair were the recipients of The Courage Award. Bei/Shutterstock  Douglas stood by his wife’s side the night she was nominated — and won — the best supporting actress category for Chicago at the 75th Academy Awards. Dan Steinberg/BEI/Shutterstock  Zeta-Jones gave birth to the couple’s second child, Carys. On growing up with famous parents, Carys told Town and Country in August 2018 that she “didn’t like the idea of having” her father’s name associated with her. She added that she felt she needed “to constantly prove” that she’s more than just Zeta-Jones and Douglas’ daughter. Swan Gallet/WWD/Shutterstock  Douglas and Zeta-Jones were honored together by The Christopher Reeve Foundation, a charitable organization dedicated to finding a cure for spinal cord injury. Gregory Pace/BEI/Shutterstock  The couple attended the 90th birthday party of Douglas’ father, Kirk, at L’Orangerie in Los Angeles. Alex Berliner/BEI/Shutterstock  Zeta-Jones supported Douglas when he was honored with the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award. Peter Brooker/Shutterstock  Douglas’ son Cameron was arrested and charged for possession of methamphetamine. He was sentenced to five years in prison the following year for conspiracy to distribute drugs and heroin possession. In a March 2010 interview with Today, Douglas suggested he had been “a bad father.” Eric Charbonneau/Shutterstock  The Basic Instinct actor was diagnosed with stage IV squamous cell carcinoma oral cancer, a.k.a. throat cancer, likely caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). “Without wanting to get too specific, this particular cancer is caused by HPV, which actually comes about from cunnilingus,” he notably told The Guardian in 2013. Sipa/Shutterstock  Douglas became a cancer survivor. “It’s weird, I know, but during the whole period of chemotherapy and radiation, it never crossed my mind that I could die,” he told French magazine Paris Match in 2019. Sipa/Shutterstock  The Chicago actress sought treatment for bipolar II disorder. “I’m not the kind of person who likes to shout out my personal issues from the rooftops. But with my bipolar becoming public, I hope fellow sufferers will know it’s completely controllable,” she told InStyle in November 2012. “I hope I can help remove any stigma attached to it.” David Fisher/Shutterstock  Cameron’s sentence increased after he was caught selling prescription drugs to other prison mates.

Douglas and Zeta-Jones reconciled their romance after an eight-month separation. The following year, the Disclosure actor said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that a relationship can be repaired “if both of you are willing” to work at it. “It can’t be a one-way street, but I’m crazy about her and yeah I think every couple has their difficult times,” he added.

He denied the allegation, telling Deadline that it was “a complete lie, fabrication, no truth to it whatsoever.” Zeta-Jones addressed the claim in November of that year. “My children and I were profoundly devastated by those allegations,” she told London’s The Times. “And I was torn about where my absolute morals lie.” Amy Sussman/WWD/Shutterstock  After Cameron concluded his seven-year stint behind bars in 2016, he credited his stepmom for helping him get through the tough time.

| Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello's Relationship Timeline Posted: 17 Nov 2021 06:15 PM PST Young love! To the satisfaction of many longtime Shawnmila shippers, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello's longtime friendship transitioned into a steamy relationship in 2019. Five years earlier, Mendes and Cabello met while they were both opening up for Austin Mahone on tour. At the time, Mendes was fresh off of his Vine success and Cabello was still a part of girl group Fifth Harmony. Ever since their meet-cute, the duo maintained a close and supportive friendship. The music stars teased their interest in each other over the years, with one of the earliest "will they, won't they" moments occurring in 2015. During an appearance on The Late Late Show With James Corden in November of that year, Mendes admitted that he had tried to "make a move" on Cabello after the show's host asked about the status of their relationship. The "Treat You Better" crooner claimed that his longtime pal "swerves" him every time. James Corden then told the pair that he didn't "believe" them and suggested that "there's no way you haven't made out." Cabello responded: "He friend-zones me! He calls me 'kid!'" Mendes and Cabello would later team up for the single "I Know What You Did Last Summer" in 2017. The following year, Mendes told Beats 1 that the Cuba native was his "favorite person in the whole world," causing Cabello to share that she loved the singer "so much." At long last, things began to officially heat up between the duo when they dropped the sultry single "Señorita" in June 2019. Cabello's split from then-boyfriend Matthew Hussey followed the song's release, and fans soon began to see the duo everywhere together before they finally confirmed their romance the following month. Though they're happy in their pop stardom, the pair still prefer to keep many details about their romance private. "I don't know; people can say whatever they want," the "Havana" singer told Elle in October 2019. "They can speculate, but at the same time, we are going to live our own lives, enjoy it, and fall for each other like nobody is watching. That is how I want to live. I never want to open the door for people to feel like they are involved. Like I said, I want it to be mine and [his]. That's why I'm so tight-lipped about it: because I want to protect it." Scroll down for a look at the pair's lengthy history — including their 2021 split:  Mendes and Cabello had their meet-cute while working together on Mahone’s 2014 tour. In their June 2019 V magazine interview, the “Havana” singer described her first impression of the “Stitches” artist of him “always on the tour bus, just learning guitar.” Kevin Mazur/WireImage  When Mendes joined Capital FM, he was asked to play a game of “Lips, Wife or Leave It.” He was required to choose between Cabello, Little Mix’s Jade Thirlwall and Chloë Grace Moretz. To no surprise at all, the Canadian star opted to wed his close pal, saying “She rocks.” Mike Windle/Getty Images for The People's Choice Awards  Months later, Cabello and Mendes teamed up to drop one of the catchiest songs to debut in modern music: “I Know What You Did Last Summer.” The track, which marked Cabello’s first solo attempt outside of Fifth Harmony, detailed a couple encountering a major roadblock in their relationship that’s caused them to drift apart. Matt Baron/Shutterstock  Shawnmila shippers haven’t seen much of the pair after the success of “IKWYDLS,” but the duo returned in early 2017 to post a video that showed the singers covering Ed Sheeran’s extremely romantic track, “Kiss Me.” Sara Jaye Weiss/Shutterstock  Mendes opened up about his admiration for Cabello during a “Beats 1” interview, saying: “She’s my favorite person in the whole world.” The “Consequences” singer, meanwhile, tweeted that she “shouldn’t be crying at this time in the morning” after being moved by his comments. She also added that she loved him “so much.” Douglas Gorenstein/NBC/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images  “Canadian fury + Latin sass,” Cabello captioned a black and white photo of the pair, which showed them sitting on the floor together as she strummed a guitar. The sweet shot hinted that the duo were working on a new song together. Gerardo Mora/Getty Images for iHeartMedia  The pair dropped their second single together, “Señoríta,” on June 21. The song’s music video proved to be very sultry and steamy — instantly sending Shawnmila devotees into a frenzy. The sultry track includes the lyric: “You say we're just friends / But friends don't know the way you taste / ‘Cause you know it's been a long time coming / Don’t you let me fall.”  Days after “Señoríta” debuted, a source confirmed to Us Weekly that Cabello split with now ex-boyfriend Matthew Hussey. The breakup, which was announced on June 26, came after the former pair were together for more than one year. gotpap/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images  It began to appear like the duo were no longer friend-zoning each other, as they were first spotted holding hands in West Hollywood and partied together on the 4th of July one day later. This was followed by the pair traveling to San Francisco for two upcoming dates on Mendes’ tour. At the time, they were filmed locking lips in a Bay Area cafe. “They looked very into each other. Shawn and Camila were splitting pancakes,” an onlooker said to Us of their July 13 cafe sighting. FIA Pictures/MEGA  On July 12, Cabello praised Mendes in an interview with the U.K.’s Clash magazine. “I’ve never had a lot of friends. I’ve always just had a few people in my life that I trust,” she said. “I feel like it’s so rare to meet someone in this industry and find a person of that quality, and I feel like Shawn is that person for me.” FIA Pictures / MEGA  The “Never Be the Same” singer was spotted attending Mendes’ Miami tour date on July 28 where a fan filmed her dancing up a storm. Tony Barson/FilmMagic  Mendes and Cabello made headlines when they were spotted canoodling while in the ocean in Miami on July 29. Closeup paparazzi shots were taken of the pair as they enjoyed some summer lovin’. MEGA  Amid romance rumors, Cabello posted a steamy bathtub pic of herself on Instagram on August 2. The post was captioned with Macy Gray lyrics, which read: “I may appear to be free ... but I’m just a prisoner of your love.” Christian Vierig/Getty Images  The former Fifth Harmony member and the "Stitches" crooner were videotaped sharing a steamy kiss at Mendes' 21st birthday party in Brooklyn, New York, in August 2019. Days later, Cabello declared her affection for her beau on Instagram, writing, “Happy birthday to this magic human, I love you!!!!” INFphoto.com  Mendes and Cabello came close to sharing a kiss during their 2019 MTV Video Music Awards performance of “Señorita.” The two later accepted the award for Best Collaboration. Christopher Polk/Variety/Shutterstock  The “If I Can’t Have You” crooner opened up slightly about the relationship when pressed about it during a backstage Q&A in Connecticut. “Honestly, I wanna say I wanna talk to you guys about this stuff but it’s not just me in the relationship,” he told his fans. “There’s another person involved and I can’t say things that I feel. It’s not just me deciding, you know?” Evan Agostini/Invision/AP/Shutterstock  The duo made light of the chatter surrounding their courtship by posting an Instagram video of themselves sloppily making out. “We just wanna show you how we really kiss,” Mendes joked. Courtesy of Shawn Mendes/Instagram  Cabello admitted during an interview with The U.K.’s Capital Breakfast radio show that her feelings for Mendes are strong. “I really, really love him a lot,” she said. Evan Agostini/Invision/AP/Shutterstock  The lovebirds took the 2019 American Music Awards stage to perform their saucy single, “Señorita” on November 24 and their chemistry heated up the stage instantly — causing Taylor Swift and fans everywhere to freak out when they nearly kissed at the end. The two later took home the award for Collaboration of the Year for the song. “@amas thank you everyone thank you so much!❤️ also @camila_cabello i admire you so much you unbelievable human being thank you for being you❤️❤️ we love u guys,” Mendes wrote on Instagram following their win. “I love u @shawnmendes thank u for being so there for me yesterday and every other day, u have the most caring and beautiful heart in the world,” Cabello wrote on her own thank you post. “Thanks to all our fans for voting , we love and appreciate you guys so much and are so thankful for you❤️.” Chelsea Lauren/Shutterstock  Cabello revealed why she keeps the details of their romance top secret in her October 2019 cover story for Elle. “I don’t know; people can say whatever they want,” she explained. “They can speculate, but at the same time, we are going to live our own lives, enjoy it, and fall for each other like nobody is watching. That is how I want to live. I never want to open the door for people to feel like they are involved. Like I said, I want it to be mine and [his]. That’s why I’m so tight-lipped about it: because I want to protect it.” imageSPACE/Shutterstock  Mendes surprised Cabello with a Cinderella-themed 23rd birthday party in England on March 3 after she was cast as the title character in the 2021 live-action adaptation of the classic fairy tale. Courtesy of Fra Fee/Instagram  While quarantined together amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the couple performed a cover of “What a Wonderful World” on the One World: Together at Home TV special on April 18. YouTube  While accepting the 2020 Kids’ Choice Award for Favorite Musical Collaboration on May 2, Cabello grossed out fans when she said that she and Mendes were “going to make organic smile and slime ourselves.” ZUMAPRESS.com/MEGA  Mendes teased in a YouTube comment on October 1 that fans can expect “lotssss of love songs for Camila” on his fourth album, Wonder. He later revealed how she helped him during the recording process, saying on SiriusXM’s The Pulse, “I don’t know if she’s credited all over the album, but she should be because there was nobody during that time that was giving me more advice and encouragement to just stick to the way I felt about the music that I wanted to make.” The Cinderella star, for her part, celebrated the record as “a gorgeous gift to the world” in an Instagram post.  The “My Oh My” songstress tweeted a photo of herself leaping into her beau’s arms on October 22. “Heheheheheh,” she captioned the adorable post. Courtesy of Camila Cabello/Instagram  The “In My Blood” crooner called Cabello his “reina,” which is Spanish for queen, on an Instagram photo shared on October 27. The snap showed the couple getting cozy in the kitchen. Courtesy Shawn Mendes/Instagram  Mendes opened up about his experience working on his fourth studio album, Wonder, while quarantining at Cabello’s home in Miami. “At first, when I got here, it was the beginning of the album process and I was in a full panic state,” he said on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “I was like, ‘There’s no way I’m going to make music. This is going to be impossible.’” He continued, “But, like, a week goes by and you start cooking eggs in the morning and you start doing laundry and start taking dogs for a walk and you have a coffee mug and you use the same one every day and it just becomes really nice. It becomes nice, which sounds so normal for everyone else but is very abnormal for me.” The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon  The Canadian crooner introduced fans to the couple’s puppy, Tarzan. Mendes shared one video of the pooch cuddling up to Cabello in the back seat as he drove them home and a second clip of Tarzan roaming around the house. Courtesy of Shawn Mendes/Instagram  Mendes shared how learning to be vulnerable with Cabello ultimately helped their relationship. “[I realized] I had no vulnerability with my girlfriend, and realized the second I showed that to her, she would fall deeper in love with me,” he said in an interview with Alicia Keys featured on Netflix’s YouTube channel. “And the second she showed that to me, I would fall deeper in love with her. That’s the most attractive and beautiful thing in the world.” Josiah Van Dien/Netflix  Cabello got contemplative after Thanksgiving, posting on Instagram about how she'd grown in her relationship with Mendes. "I've learned a lot about love with this guy," she captioned an Instagram photo of the couple kissing. "It's not just the happy blissful moments you see in pictures and videos- When you're in a relationship with someone, it feels like they are this mirror reflecting yourself back to you- I constantly have to confront my fears, my anxieties, my insecurities, my patterns of thinking, my beliefs about life and about myself. It's not as simple as it looks in pictures sometimes. sometimes, it's messy and uncomfortable and ugly lol. But there's nothing like the pull, the FORCE that is love, to be the light in the darkness- to be the gravitational pull that gives you the relentless strength to be braver,wiser, and better than you were yesterday." "It's so instinctive for us to love, even if our minds try to protect us from it sometimes, but our nature as humans is to love. And to be in love means to choose that person over and over again, to go through the messy stuff with. And that's way more beautiful and raw and real than perfection," she concluded. "I'm all for being vulnerable on social media because I think only the neatness and perfection of life is shown on here; and that can make us all feel extra lonely and weird! So raise your glass to the messiness and weirdness of being human and the miracle. And the easiness. And the instinct. And the relentless force that is love." Courtesy Camila Cabello/Instagram  The “Monster” crooner confirmed to Entertainment Tonight that he and the “My Oh My” songstress have talked about getting engaged. “Yeah, absolutely. I think for me it’s always been if I’m not willing to talk about that stuff then I kind of check out a little bit, and I don’t know, I really think when you know, you know,” he said. MEGA  After releasing his album Wonder, which was inspired by Cabello, Mendes revealed their plans for the holidays. “Camila and I are going back to Canada, and we’re just going to quarantine with my parents and my sister and spend Christmas together,” he told Extra, noting that their puppy would also join them. MEGA  The “Dream” singer opened up about his family’s close bond with the Miami native during an interview on the Zach Sang Show in December 2020, saying his dad was instantly fond of Cabello. “My dad is never very serious about things, but he would always bug me and be like, ‘How’s my daughter-in-law doing?’” Mendes said. “Obviously your parents don’t know, but when you know you know,” he added, referencing the couple’s future together. “But I definitely went to them about it.” YouTube  “Happy 2 years my baby♥️,” the Canadian crooner captioned a kissing photo with his love while in the Caribbean. Cabello shared a series of snaps from their romantic trip, captioning them, “Happy anniversary Kuko❤️ here’s to more joy, more friendship, and more love❤️.” Courtesy of Shawn Mendes/Instagram  After Cabello posted a funny TikTok about "that first phase of dating when u can't fart or Poo for be a human," her boyfriend responded with his own take on the situation. "But u do fart tho," he replied via Instagram. Courtesy of Camila Cabello/Instagram  The “Summer of Love” crooner gave fans a peek inside his longtime relationship with the Cinderella star on SiriusXM’s The Morning Mash Up. While he noted that the pair “definitely” fight sometimes, their strong foundation always helps them heal. “We get in, like, the worst little arguments, but, like, I think that we definitely are pretty good at picking up on when it’s just ego talking,” Mendes explained. “And we usually call each other out. We have a really honest and open relationship. … I think the longer the relationship goes, the easier it seems to be to fight. So, yeah, it's definitely not that, holding hands all the time, but we’re really good with each other. It never gets bad.” YouTube  Mendes shared the inspiration behind his song “Summer of Love” during an appearance on Audacy Check In, pointing to his and Cabello’s time in quarantine as its source. "Camila and I were so lucky because we were able to just kind of be in a still moment, and it was the first time in the past six years that we've been just able to relax and not work at all," he explained. "We were going on bike rides around Miami, and it just felt really beautiful. [I] had a lot of nostalgia at that time, and I think without that time we found it a lot harder to connect. It really brought us together." The Canadian crooner references his relationship with Cabello in the lyrics of the track, singing, "Meditation and tequila / Calling you my señorita / Didn't know how much I need ya / Hate it when I have to leave ya / I've been taking mental pictures / For when I miss you in the winter / Staying up until the sunrise / Praying it won't be the last time." Chelsea Lauren/Shutterstock  Cabello admitted to James Corden that it was during a November 2015 appearance on his show that she came to terms with her feelings for Mendes. “He was like, ‘I like her, she’s the one that doesn’t like me’ or something like that," the Cinderella star recalled on The Late Late Show With James Corden in August 2021. “I was completely in love with him. And he was the one I thought wasn’t in love with me back.” The former Fifth Harmony singer added that their age probably had something to do with the miscommunication, noting, "Look at us now ... COVID puppy. Pregnant with a COVID puppy.” Rob Latour/Shutterstock  "Congratulations my love, I’m so proud of you," Mendes shared via Instagram in September after attending the premiere of Cinderella with Cabello. "I’ve never seen anybody work as hard as you did to show up everyday and be truly professional, kind and authentic. I admire you so much. Such a beautiful movie with a beautiful message."

| Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes Split After 2 Years of Dating Posted: 17 Nov 2021 06:00 PM PST It’s over. Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes have ended their two-year romance. "Hey guys, we've decided to end our romantic relationship but our love for one another as humans is stronger than ever," the pair wrote in a joint statement shared to their respective Instagram Stories on Wednesday, November 17. "We started our relationship as best friends and will continue to be best friends. We so appreciate your support from the beginning and moving forward. Camila and Shawn." The singer, 24, started dating Mendes, 23, in July 2019 following her split from Matthew Hussey. The Cuba native explained to Elle three months later that she kept their relationship private "to protect it." The X Factor alum said in October 2019: “I don't know; people can say whatever they want. They can speculate, but at the same time, we are going to live our own lives, enjoy it and fall for each other like nobody is watching. That is how I want to live. I never want to open the door for people to feel like they are involved. Like I said, I want it to be mine and [his]. That's why I'm so tight-lipped about it."  She quarantined with the "Treat You Better" singer amid the coronavirus pandemic the following year, writing via Instagram in November 2020 that she "learned about love" dating Mendes. “It’s not just the happy blissful moments you see in pictures and videos — when you’re in a relationship with someone, it feels like they are this mirror reflecting yourself back to you," the “Havana” singer captioned a PDA pic at the time. “I constantly have to confront my fears, my anxieties, my insecurities, my patterns of thinking, my beliefs about life and about myself. It’s not as simple as it looks in pictures sometimes. Sometimes, it’s messy and uncomfortable and ugly lol. But there’s nothing like the pull, the FORCE that is love, to be the light in the darkness — to be the gravitational pull that gives you the relentless strength to be braver, wiser and better than you were yesterday." The following month, the Canada native told Entertainment Tonight that he was "absolutely" thinking about proposing to Cabello. “I think for me it's always been if I'm not willing to talk about that stuff then I kind of check out a little bit, and I don't know, I really think when you know, you know," he explained in the December 2020 interview. The “Stitches” singer told Zach Sang that same month that his parents, Manuel Mendes and Karen Mendes, already referred to his then-girlfriend as their "daughter-in-law." Shawn added at the time: "Obviously your parents don't know, but when you know you know. But I definitely went to them about it." |
| Peter Weber Confirms Hannah Brown's Post-'Bachelor' Hookup Claim Posted: 17 Nov 2021 04:23 PM PST His side of the story. Peter Weber shared his take on Hannah Brown‘s claim that they hooked up while his season of The Bachelor was airing. During the Thursday, November 18, episode of his “Bachelors in the City” podcast, the 30-year-old recounted his version of the hookup, which took place after a February 2020 engagement party for Dylan Barbour and Hannah Godwin. “We spent the night with each other, and that was it,” Weber said in Us Weekly‘s exclusive clip, adding that Bachelor producers initially asked him not to go to the party because his season was still airing at the time. “That was the last time that I saw her physically,” he noted. “I agree with what she said,” the children’s book author added before acknowledging that their spark was gone. “It wasn’t the same as I think we had originally felt. But, nonetheless, it was great to talk and just have someone that kind of understood where I was coming from.” The Alabama native, 27, revealed the secret hookup in her upcoming book, God Bless This Mess. The duo first met on Brown’s season of The Bachelorette, which premiered in May 2019. The Adventures of Pilot Pete author finished in third place. During the finale, the former pageant queen got engaged to Jed Wyatt, but the pair broke up before the season finished airing. Weber later gave his ex the option to join his season of The Bachelor, but she was competing on Dancing With the Stars at the time. He proposed to Hannah Ann Sluss during the season finale, but the duo secretly split in January 2020 after the podcast cohost admitted he still had feelings for runner-up Madison Prewett. After Weber and Prewett, 25, ended things, the Virginia native dated fifth-place finisher Kelley Flanagan for 10 months. He later told Us that he would have quit The Bachelor for Brown when she made a cameo during his season premiere. "I was an idiot, producers probably hated me, but I literally, like, I think they edited this part out, I was like, 'I'm gonna leave the show, like, if you want to, if you want to give this a shot, I'll leave right now,'" he said during an April episode of Us‘ “Here for the Right Reasons” podcast. "And she's like, 'You can't do that, Peter, you're the Bachelor, you signed a contract.' I'm like, 'No, like, I'll do it. What are they gonna do to me?' … I don't know what I was thinking that day. I was very confused."’ Though Brown still had feelings for her ex when they reconnected in February 2020, she writes in the book that their chemistry was lacking. Still, she told Us she wanted to include the story because it “gives an honest and vulnerable account” of where she was in her life at that time. “It was, like, this perfect storm that unfortunately there were some mistakes and all that, but [it] led me to getting the help that I needed,” she exclusively told Us in November ahead of the book’s release, confirming that she didn’t give Weber a warning about its contents. “So I think that story really was important.

| Hannah Brown Reveals the Last Time She Spoke to Tyler Cameron Posted: 17 Nov 2021 03:49 PM PST Not just Peter! As Hannah Brown's bombshell book revelation about her secret hookup with Peter Weber makes headlines, fans are anxiously waiting for answers about her post-Bachelorette relationship with Tyler Cameron, too. In God Bless This Mess, the 27-year-old author recalls wanting to pursue a relationship with Cameron, 28, after her whirlwind engagement to Jed Wyatt ended while season 15 of the ABC series was still airing in 2019. Days after publicly asking him out during the After the Final Rose special, Brown and her runner-up were spotted leaving her Los Angeles apartment. According to the former Miss Alabama, the duo made plans to travel and explore their relationship, but Cameron was subsequently spotted with Gigi Hadid in New York City shortly after their post-show hangout. She writes about being "deeply hurt" by how the general contractor handled the situation, per People. Still, the duo reconnected in early 2020 when his mother died and Brown's brother overdosed in March 2020. She subsequently spent 20 days quarantining at his Jupiter, Florida, home, hoping they would work things out. In the end, the twosome, who have both sworn they didn't even kiss during the coronavirus pandemic, fell out of touch after she returned to Alabama. While Brown and Cameron briefly reunited in October 2020 in Los Angeles to film YouTube content together, they have not spoken since. "We haven’t talked," Brown told Us Weekly exclusively while promoting God Bless This Mess. "It’s really hard trying to figure out what’s going on in the spotlight, but I wish him well in his endeavors." The pageant queen admitted that it "definitely took a long time" for her to get over both Cameron and Weber, 30, her third place contestant whom she secretly hooked up with in February 2020 while his season 24 of The Bachelor was airing. "The whole issue with all that is I didn’t trust myself enough to make a decision," she told Us. "What you see kind of as a pattern in the book, like, if you don’t really trust yourself [and] know yourself, then it’s really hard to make decisions about love and relationships, especially in an intense amount of time." Brown has since moved on with Adam Woolard — and fans will learn the last thing Cameron said to her when her book drops on Tuesday, November 23. Cameron, for his part, admitted that he mishandled the drama with his ex and Hadid, 26, in his own book, You Deserve Better: What Life Has Taught Me About Love, Relationships, and Becoming Your Best Self. "This was a major mistake on my end. Not because I shouldn't have been dating, because I was very clear with Hannah tall along that after the way the show ended, I needed some time and space to figure things out," he wrote. "I even called Hannah in the afternoon the same day I arrived in New York and told her again that I thought we both deserved to date other people. But I still put Hannah in a tough, tough position. … If I could go back and do it all again, I would handle it differently. My communication should have been better."

The Grammy winner (whose real name is Stefani Germanotta) and the Parker Group CEO celebrated their first Valentine’s Day together that same month. While a source told Us that they were "having fun,” it wasn’t long until things got serious. In April 2020, the “Stupid Love” singer confirmed that she loved Polansky during an appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. The duo spent a lot of time together in quarantine amid the coronavirus pandemic. The songwriter cuddled up to her boyfriend in an Instagram post that she captioned, "Day 6 of self-quarantining! Going strong, playing video games and cards, and taking care of ourselves." The pop star and her boyfriend continued to find happiness together, with a source telling Us in June 2020 that Gaga "loves to be wined and dined and taken care of, and Michael certainly does that for her.” "He loves to take care of her and spoil her, and they love to travel together. Michael is very wealthy and likes to treat her to nice things and experiences," the insider added. After Polansky was seen supporting the star during her performance at Joe Biden‘s presidential inauguration, a source exclusively shared with Us that he "brings real stability to her life.” The entrepreneur continued to show his love for Gaga on her birthday in March 2021 when he sent flowers to her on the set of House of Gucci in Rome. "When your bf sends you all the flowers in Rome for your birthday," the musician captioned an Instagram photo of the gift.

SAMUEL CORUM/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock  “Michael really is a great guy. He’s down-to-earth, smart and focused on his businesses,” an insider told Us, noting that Polansky is “not dating Gaga for the fame.” Polansky “brings real stability to her life,” the source added. “When they’re together, they are always touching, giggling and it’s obvious they really love each other.” Courtesy of Lady Gaga/Instagram  Lady Gaga received a giant gesture of love from her boyfriend in Rome as she filmed House of Gucci. “When your bf sends you all the flowers in Rome for your birthday,” the musician, 35, captioned an Instagram photo of the gift on March 28. “I love you honey 💕.” In the photo, the actress hugged a big basket of white roses and green flowers while wearing a matching pink sweater and pants.

| Pete Davidson Celebrates Birthday With Kim K., Kris Amid Romance Rumors Posted: 17 Nov 2021 02:59 PM PST Meeting the momager! Pete Davidson rang in his birthday with rumored flame Kim Kardashian — and her mother, Kris Jenner. The Saturday Night Live star turned 28 on Tuesday, November 16, celebrating the big day alongside Kardashian, 42, Jenner, 66, and Flavor Flav, who shared photos from the hangout the following day. “FLAVOR FLAV::: celebrating my adopted son Pete Davidson’s birthday wit the legendz @kimkardashian and @krisjenner  In one of the snaps, Jenner appeared to be wearing a pair of plaid pajamas, which she accessorized with stylish white sunglasses. Davidson sat on the couch beside the producer and wore the same checkered top, while Kardashian donned the matching bottoms. It’s unclear who else attended the party or where it occurred, but the decor in the photos is similar to that in Jenner’s Palm Springs, California, home. Davidson and the Skims CEO sparked romance rumors in late October after spending time together on the set of SNL when Kardashian hosted earlier that month. They’ve been spotted on multiple outings in both California and New York City — but have yet to address their status. The King of Staten Island actor previously played coy about the headlines during his November 8 appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers. “I’ve been wanting to talk about this,” he teased. “There’s a lot of people I walk by, people are, like, whispering and making eyes at me. But it is true. I do have a show on Tubi coming out. The Tubi. A lot of people are shocked that I could get on a show like Tubi, but it’s a real thing.” As rumors continue to swirl about where the pair stand, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that Kardashian is “falling for” the comedian, who “makes her laugh” and “feel good.” The makeup mogul is “excited to see what happens” and so are her friends, the insider added, telling Us, “[They’re] eager for Kim to have fun and be free.” Kardashian was previously married to Kanye West for nearly seven years before she filed for divorce in February. The estranged pair share children North, 8, Saint, 5, Chicago, 3, and Psalm, 2. The Yeezy designer, 44, recently claimed in a two-part “Drink Champs” interview that he wants to reconcile with his estranged wife for the sake of their kids. “At the end of the day, I ain’t got the paperwork yet,” he said on Friday, November 12. “So I’m [going to] come on this joint and try to save my family and keep my family together.” |
| Britney Spears and Sam Asghari: A Timeline of Their Relationship Posted: 17 Nov 2021 02:16 PM PST Stronger together! 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. "I was excited that I [would] get to meet one of the biggest artists of all time," the personal trainer recalled to Men's Health in July 2018. "I had butterflies." But when Asghari tried to break the ice, he almost ruined his chances with the Grammy winner. "She said, 'Hi, I'm Britney,' and I said, 'I'm sorry, what's your name again?'" he told the magazine. "I tried to be funny. I don't think anybody got it." Fortunately, Spears was charmed by the fitness model and they started chatting about one of their favorite foods, sushi. They continued to talk throughout the shoot and exchanged phone numbers by the end so that they could set up a proper first date. And the rest, as they say, was history. "I found his number in my bag. I was like, 'He is really cute. This guy is really cute,'" the Princess of Pop recounted during a January 2017 radio interview.

Britney is Free!” he captioned a photo of the word “freedom” against a pink backdrop. Courtesy of Sam Asghari/Instagram  Asghari gave his most candid quotes about his relationship with Britney during an interview with Randall Emmett on the “Give Them Lala” podcast. “It was like that attraction and that love was built over time. I was like, ‘Oh s—t. I'm meeting a real human being that has passion.’ And you know what's crazy? … The fact that someone so successful, someone — it's going to help me down the line, it's helping me as we speak — is that someone that's on her level or her level of success could be so sweet and so humble, you know what I mean?” he said. “Versus you meet some people that are not so successful that don't have that attitude. You understand how these people that are on the level as she is, why she's there because they make people fall in love with them. Just like her, just like the Rock. They make people feel amazing being around them. It's the energy when they enter a room, it's so amazing you know. That's what helps me, and I hope I have that energy.” The actor added that Britney is taking the lead when it comes to wedding planning.“She's wearing the pants. And something with my relationship is, it's very hard, but something about a secret and something about spontaneous things and privacy — you don't get that anymore - so I'm really trying to respect that. Not only for her but for me,” he said. “Because I want to have this amazing future, and if you practice that now, I think it's always going to be there.” Image Press Agency/NurPhoto/Shutterstock |
| Jeremy Renner Addresses Ex-Wife's Abuse Claims: 'I Don't Fuel S—t Fires' Posted: 17 Nov 2021 01:44 PM PST
 Jeremy Renner and his ex-wife, Sonni Pacheco, split nearly seven years ago, but their relationship is still a point of contention. Speaking about the couple’s messy custody battle, the American Hustle actor, 50, derided his ex’s claims that he abused her without addressing any specific details. "I don't respond publicly or privately to nonsense," he told Men’s Health in an interview published on Wednesday, November 17. "It only empowers it. … If you respond to it, you give it gas. I don't fuel s—t fires. I just don't do it. I refuse to." The Oscar nominee and the actress, 30, split in December 2014 after less than one year of marriage. Their divorce was finalized in 2015, but the duo spent years fighting over custody of their daughter, Ava, now 8. In 2019, Pacheco claimed that Renner threatened to kill her and himself the previous year, per court documents obtained at the time by TMZ. The model also alleged that the Hawkeye actor had a history of verbal, emotional and substance abuse. “The well-being of his daughter, Ava, has always been and continues to be the primary focus for Jeremy,” a representative for Renner told Us Weekly at the time. “This is a matter for the court to decide. It's important to note the dramatizations made in Sonni's declaration are a one-sided account made with a specific goal in mind." In March 2020, Pacheco slammed Renner’s request to lower his child support payments after he claimed in court docs that the coronavirus pandemic had impacted his earnings. "It is very disheartening that, in a time of global crisis, there is yet another attempt to reduce funds I rely on to provide for our child," she said at the time. Later that year, however, the California native accused his ex of misusing money from Ava’s trust fund. In court documents obtained by Us in 2020, Renner’s team alleged that Pacheco removed more than $50,000 from the fund in less than two years and used them “for her own personal benefit.” Pacheco denied the allegations in a statement. "I am sick of being continually bullied, having my name slandered, and the truth muted," she told Us in May 2020. "Anyone who is a parent knows that the most important thing in the world is their child's health and safety. Over the years, it's hard to fathom what I've seen and what people have told me they've seen in regards to Jeremy's disturbing actions while our child is in his care." |

| Rapper Young Dolph Shot and Killed at Age 36 Posted: 17 Nov 2021 01:03 PM PST Young Dolph was shot and killed in Memphis, Tennessee, on Wednesday, November 17, Us Weekly can confirm. He was 36. “The West Tennessee Regional Forensic Center in Memphis has received notification of the reported death of Adolph Thornton, Jr. and is currently investigating," director of the West Tennessee Regional Forensic Center Benjamin J. Figura, PhD, D-ABFA, told Us on Wednesday in a statement. (The center is managed by the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis.) The "Aspen" rapper walked into Makeda's Butter Cookies on Wednesday to buy cookies when someone drove up and shot him, the shop's owner, Maurice Hill, told Fox13 after the incident. Hill recalled the shooting taking place around 1 p.m. CT.
The Memphis Police Department previously confirmed via Twitter on Wednesday that officers pronounced a male victim dead at the scene. Young Dolph, whose real name is Adolph Robert Thornton Jr., was born in Chicago but his family moved to Memphis when he was 2 years old. He rose to fame in 2016 after the release of his debut album, King of Memphis. The record peaked at No. 49 on the Billboard 200 chart. The "Blue Diamond" rapper was later featured on O.T. Genasis‘ single "Cut It," which rose to No. 35 on the Billboard Hot 100. He has since released six more albums, including 2017's Bulletproof, 2020's Rich Slave and 2021's Dum and Dummer 2. Dolph, who was well-known in the Memphis community, was previously involved in two shootings in 2017 after surviving a drive-by shooting back in 2008. The "Get Paid" musician was shot several times outside the Lowes Hollywood Hotel in Los Angeles and was struck with three bullets in September 2017. He was able to escape to a nearby retail store, Shoe Palace, and call 911, USA Today reported at the time. Dolph was hospitalized for several weeks in 2017. While a suspect was arrested for attempted murder that same month, he was later released without any charges. The suspect, Corey McClendon, had ties to Yo Gotti, who reportedly had an ongoing feud with Dolph that dates back to 2014. Gotti was never charged with anything in relation to the crime. Earlier that year, an SUV attached to Dolph was shot dozens of times in Charlotte, North Carolina. As many as 100 bullets were fired into the vehicle, which was bulletproof, so Dolph escaped unharmed. In May 2017, Blac Youngsta was one of three men charged with discharging a weapon and felony conspiracy in connection with the shooting, USA Today reported. The incident was believed to be part of an ongoing rivalry between the two rappers. Dolph is survived by two children, son Tre Tre and daughter Aria Ella, whom he shares with on-again, off-again girlfriend, Mia Jaye. |
