Marc Anthony I'm Engaged!!! To 23-Year-Old Beauty Pageant GF

Marc Anthony popped the question ... and a former Miss Universe contestant said yes!!!

The 53-year-old singer and his 23-year-old fiancé, Nadia Ferreira, announced their engagement Thursday night at a party in Miami.

Nadia, the former Miss Universe Paraguay, showed off her shiny diamond engagement ring on her Instagram story ... tagging Marc in the post, which shows them holding hands.

The engagement comes less than 2 months after Marc and Nadia went IG official ... and about a month after one of Marc's famous ex-wives, Jennifer Lopez, announced her engagement to Ben Affleck.

Marc and Nadia celebrated the occasion with a lavish dinner at Sexy Fish Miami, partying the night away with a small group of friends.

This is Marc's 4th engagement, and the previous three ended in marriage and ultimately divorce. In addition to J Lo, Marc's also been married to Miss Universe 1993 Dayanara Torres and actress Shannon De Lima.

Marc and Jennifer have two kids together, and have remained friends ever since their split in 2011.

Marc's got 6 children from his previous relationships ... so it will be interesting to see if he wants more.

Congrats!!!

NBA Unveils New Larry O'Brien Trophy ... Honors Magic, Bird, Too

After 45 years, the NBA's Larry O'Brien Trophy is getting a makeover.

The league just debuted the new-look championship trophy on Thursday ... showing off Tiffany & Co.'s redesign of the iconic award.

The new trophy won't differ too much from its predecessor -- its size, shape and weight will remain the same -- but there are some awesome new features to spice up its look.

For instance, in honor of the league celebrating its 75th anniversary, the new LOB trophy will have the names of the first 75 NBA champions etched on it ..., and moving forward, the name of each champion's name will be added to the bottom disc.

The trophy -- formerly known as the Walter A. Brown trophy --  was named after then NBA commissioner Larry O'Brien in 1984.

Victor Solomon -- the mastermind who designed the NBA All-Star Game Kobe Bryant MVP Award -- teamed up with Tiffany to create the new-look award, which features sterling silver on the 24-karat gold basketball that sits atop.

In addition to the remodeled NBA Finals trophy, the league announced that there will be Conference Finals MVP trophies named after Larry Bird and Magic Johnson ... who played a pivotal role in elevating the sport with their rivalry in the '80s.

The NBA is also naming its two conference championship trophies after two legends -- Oscar Robertson and Bob Cousy -- and they upgraded the Bill Russell Trophy, given to the Finals MVP, to reflect an all-gold finish -- matching the LOB trophy.

Jorge Masvidal Allowed To Inspect Colby's Watch ... After 'Folex' Claims

Jorge Masvidal will be allowed to inspect Colby Covington's watch to see if it's a phony Rolex ... the UFC star's attorney tells TMZ Sports a judge just granted their motion to see the timepiece up close.

Covington had alleged Masvidal banged up the watch -- which Colby says is worth around $95K -- during an attack in Miami last month ... but Jorge and his legal team say they have doubts it's a real Rolly.

In fact, Masvidal and his attorney, Bradford Cohen, were so skeptical ... they filed a motion earlier this month asking a judge to allow them to closely view it.

In the docs, Cohen said he believed the watch was a "Folex" composed of aftermarket and fraudulent parts -- and wasn't worth anywhere close to the $95K Colby said it was.

According to Cohen, a judge just granted the motion at a hearing on Thursday morning ... paving the way for Masvidal and the legal team to look at it soon.

As for the other motion, Cohen filed earlier this month -- the one in which they asked a judge to order Colby to submit to a physical exam following claims he suffered a "brain injury" in the alleged attack -- Cohen tells us a hearing regarding that motion has been set for a later date.

THE AFTERMATH
TMZSports.com

As we reported, Masvidal is facing felony charges of aggravated battery and criminal mischief after Covington told cops he injured him and scratched up his Rolex outside of Papi Steak on March 21.

Masvidal has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

YG Felony Robbery Case Dismissed

YG is off the hook for an alleged robbery in Sin City ... his criminal case was just dismissed on the morning of jury selection.

Sources close to the rapper tell TMZ ... YG settled out of court with the alleged robbery victim, and the guy was no longer interested in cooperating with prosecutors in the criminal case.

TMZ broke the story ... YG was facing a felony robbery charge for allegedly yanking a dude's chain off his neck in a 2018 altercation at the Cosmopolitan Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, before making off with the diamond-laced pendant.

We're told YG maintained he never stole the chain from the man, though he admitted the bling snapped off when the two were in a fight.

YG’s lawyer, Joe Tacopina, tells TMZ … "Justice was served expeditiously, we would've had the same result if the case went to trial."

It's not the first time something like this has happened ... as we first told you back in January, prosecutors in Los Angeles declined to file charges against him because there wasn't enough evidence to link him to another alleged robbery.

Cardi B Time for Mother's Day ... Here's Some Mom Advice for RiRi

a mother's touch
TMZ.com

Cardi B was the perfect person to ask about mommy duty on Mother's Day -- especially since Rihanna is about to become one herself -- and her sage advice is ... (cue video).

The rapper was leaving Carbone Sunday night in NYC next to her hubby, Offset, and at least one of their kids (looks like Kulture) ... and Cardi chopped it up with our photog before getting into her waiting SUV about a lot of stuff, including words of wisdom for mom-to-be RiRi.

Check it out ... she says motherhood is something that comes pretty naturally, and she thinks the same will happen for Rihanna when the baby comes -- which should be any day now.

We also asked about Roe v. Wade, but she wasn't as chatty about that. What she did clarify, however, was her stance on fame ... and seemingly being done with it, which she alluded to about a week or so ago in sorta dramatic fashion.

Luckily, CB sets the record straight with us about what she meant ... and it sounds like she was mostly referring to her online presence more than anything. So, no -- Cardi's not scrapping music altogether. Good to hear!

ALWAYS IN TROUBLE

BTW, we're told the watch she flashes at the beginning of this -- which was a gift from Offset -- is an Audemars Piguet ... and it cost him upwards of $300k. Happy wife, indeed.

Odell Beckham Jr. & Von Miller Collabing W/ Celeb Jeweler We're Helping Design Rams' SB Rings!!!

Odell Beckham Jr. and Von Miller played huge roles in the Rams winning the Super Bowl ... and, now, TMZ Sports has learned they'll have a big say in how L.A.'s championship rings look, too!

We got celeb jeweler, Jason of Beverly Hills (who's creating the Rams' title bling this year), out in Las Vegas this week -- and he told us he's actually working closely with Beckham and Miller on the drip's design.

A TOUCH OF L.A.
TMZSports.com

Jason said Jalen Ramsey and Aaron Donald have been calling him with input as well ... and he tells us he's expecting the final product to be epic.

"That is going to be a legendary ring," Jason said.

In fact, Jason said with the help of all of the Rams players ... he's anticipating "something that's never been done before."

"I'm from L.A.," Jason said, "so to make the best Super Bowl ring in history is a big deal to me."

Jason tells us OBJ has been great throughout the initial design process ... saying the wideout "is really creative."

But, developing a piece that tops Jason's past works of art won't be easy. You'll recall, the jeweler has created championship rings recently for the Milwaukee Bucks, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Still, Jason is gunnin' to somehow accomplish the feat.

"We want this Rams ring to be the best Super Bowl championship ring in history," Jason tells us. "It's L.A. We are L.A. We're ready to do it."

Lewis Hamilton Drapes Himself In Jewelry ... Amid FIA Crackdown

F1 superstar Lewis Hamilton is taking a stand against FIA's ban on jewelry during races ... by wearing multiple necklaces, rings, earrings AND watches at his press conference Friday in Miami.

The Mercedes champ has been outspoken against the association's recent crackdown on the accessories drivers are allowed to wear during races ... claiming there are much bigger issues to focus on.

37-year-old Hamilton doubled down on his position when speaking with media members ... saying he feels like it's a "step backwards" as the sport looks to grow.

"This is such a small thing," Hamilton said. "I've been in this sport for 16 years. I've been wearing jewelry for 16 years. In the car, I only have my earrings and my nose ring, which I can't remove."

"It seems unnecessary for us to get into this spat," he added. "So, I'll try to communicate and work with (FIA president) Mohammed (bin Sulayem). I think I'm here to be an ally of the sport, of Mohammed, and Formula 1, and I think we got bigger fish to fry, bigger things to do, more impact to have."

"So, I think that's where the focus should be."

Hamilton says his jewelry is not magnetic and there are no safety concerns while racing ... but if he's not allowed to compete over the ban, he is content with hanging out in South Beach and letting the backup driver take his spot.

It's been a tough start for the 7-time champ so far this season ... so Mercedes fans have got to be hoping he can get back to his usual success.

Rihanna, A$AP Rocky We're Not Engaged 'I Do' Grills Just For Fun

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are certainly a pair in love, but aren't on the course to get married, at least not anytime soon ... despite what fans may speculate from his new video.

Sources close to the couple tell TMZ the two aren't engaged, despite A$AP's newly-dropped "D.M.B." video, where they flashed their grills at each other -- his says "Marry Me?" while Rihanna's says "I Do."

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Of course, fans went nuts, thinking Rocky asked for RiRi's hand in marriage ... or even that they've already gotten hitched.

The music video also contains plenty of wedding-themed imagery, which caused for more theories.

Our sources say the whole thing was just done for fun. As you know, the two are expecting their first kid together ... and the due date is rapidly approaching.

Fans went crazy online, wondering whether or not they were hinting at something more ...  as you know, a good chunk of his music video has tons of imagery of the two of them tying the knot. We're told the entire thing was just done in good fun.

Odell Beckham Met Gala Chain ... Worth $650,000!!!

Odell Beckham had one of the most expensive outfits at the Met Gala ... and it's all thanks to his incredible $650k diamond chain!!

TMZ Sports spoke with OBJ's go-to guy, Gabriel the Jeweler ... who tells us the wide receiver copped the ice right before Monday's big event.

Beckham donned a green velvet hoodie for the Gala ... accenting it with the massive chain and rings.

The chain is truly one of a kind -- we're told it's made with 300 carats of round diamonds, 200 carats of emerald-cut diamonds and 2 1/2 kilos of gold.

Of course, Gabe is the mastermind behind some of OBJ's most iconic pieces ... and has worked with superstars like Antonio Brown, Fernando Tatis, Joe Mixon and more over the years.

Other athletes at the Gala include Russell Westbrook, Dwyane Wade, Chloe Kim and Venus Williams ... who all killed it with the "Gilded Glamour" theme.

Odell continues to turn heads each year -- who can forget the iconic kilt look? And now, we're already excited for 2023's look.

DRAFT NIGHT DIAMONDS
@sakidiamonds

Future NY Giants star Kayvon Thibodeaux was shinin' brighter than the Las Vegas lights -- with this insane 40-carat diamond pendant the DE rocked while being drafted 5th overall by the G-Men.

Jeweler Saki Diamonds tells TMZ Sports he made KT the iced out chain to honor his "Jream" (pronounced dream) foundation ... where Kayvon helps underprivileged kids.

"It meant a lot to me," Saki, a former football coach (before he switch professions), told us.

The pendant looks just like the Jream logo ... with a little boy reaching for the stars in the cloudy sky. It's filled with 40 carats of canary yellow, black and white VVS diamonds.

And, if the piece wasn't cool enough ... the chain and pendant are both reversible!

"He can have 4 different looks in one chain and pendant," Saki said.

Saki says it also glows in the dark ... "when the lights go off on the pendant, you still see the clouds and the stars."

The Jacksonville jeweler says the 1st round pick came up with the idea and it took two weeks to get the piece ready for his big night.

Kayvon wasn't the only athlete wearing Saki's work at the draft ... former Georgia Bulldog Nakobe Dean copped an iced-out rose gold Cuban link chain and a two-tone Cuban bracelet.

Garrett Wilson -- who went 10th overall to the NY Jets -- was also seen rockin' a Saltwater Akoya pearl necklace and Cartier shades.

Saki -- whose client list ranges from NFL's Marlon Mack to Za'Darius Smith -- says it's an honor they chose him to put something together for a life-changing moment.

"I'm just thankful to pour into these guys and be able to help them out on one of the biggest nights of their lives, you know".

Derek Stingley Jr. Shows Off Massive Chain Before Draft ... Feel The 'STING!!!'

042822_derek_stingley_jr_kal
DRAFT READY
TMZSports.com

Derek Stingley Jr. has clearly upgraded his drip ahead of the biggest day of his life ... the top NFL draft prospect is now rockin' a brand new, massive "STING" chain!!

The former LSU superstar -- who's expected to be selected with one of the first 10 picks Thursday night -- showed off the ice to TMZ Sports out at Splash lounge (owned by Jizzy Mack, Floyd Mayweather's TMT bodyguard) in Las Vegas on Wednesday night ... and it's awesome.

The pendant is huge -- almost the size of one of his pecs ... and the chain it's clasped to is covered in diamonds as well.

Stingley Jr. apparently got it in the last couple weeks as he prepped for the big NFL draft night ... because as recently as January, he was wearin' a much smaller version.

No word on what it cost Stingley Jr. to upgrade ... but the dude is about to be a multi-millionaire, so he can certainly afford it.

As for how he's feeling just hours before becoming an NFL player ... watch the clip, the cornerback obviously ain't nervous about much before his life changes forever.

Enjoy it, Derek!

Vince Wilfork's Son Pleads Guilty To Stealing SB Rings

Vince Wilfork's son, D'Aundre Holmes-Wilfork, pleaded guilty earlier this month to stealing Super Bowl rings and other prized possessions from the New England Patriots legend ... TMZ Sports has confirmed.

According to court documents, Holmes-Wilfork pleaded guilty to felony theft of property greater than or equal to $300,000 as part of a plea deal that he struck with prosecutors on April 20.

Holmes-Wilfork received five years of deferred community supervision as part of the agreement ... meaning the conviction will essentially go away if he keeps his nose clean for the next five years and meets all the conditions of his probation.

As we previously reported, Holmes-Wilfork was initially charged in 2021 with stealing Vince's SB rings, AFC championship rings, 2001 Miami Hurricanes national championship ring and other jewelry.

At the time, authorities said Holmes-Wilfork took the jewelry and sold it without Vince's permission in 2020. According to authorities, police said Vince told them he believed the goods were worth around $400k.

Court records show the stolen jewelry was ordered on April 20 to be returned to Vince.

Holmes-Wilfork's attorney, Mark Aronowitz, told the Galveston County Daily News that Vince had forgiven Holmes-Wilfork for the theft ... saying in a statement, "The outcome that emerged from the case as a result of much self-reflection and healing on the defendant’s part and the willingness of his parents to forgive him and show him unconditional love with the sincere hope that he can be rehabilitated and go on to live a happy and productive life."

Mets' Jeff McNeil I Got A Rolex From Starling Marte!!! ... In Exchange For Jersey Number

MLB star Starling Marte wanted the #6 so badly with his new Mets squad ... his teammate, Jeff McNeil, said the outfielder gave up a pricey watch for it!

McNeil explained the trade to MLB.com writer Anthony DiComo prior to New York's game against the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday ... saying after he gave away his NY #6 to Marte before the year, Starling returned the favor recently by getting him a Rolex.

McNeil had worn the number since 2019, but switched to #1 after making the deal with Marte, who signed with the Mets this offseason after playing for Oakland and Miami last year.

As for if it was worth it ... McNeil told DiComo, while grinning, that the watch was very nice.

No word on what the timepiece cost ... but most Rolexes come with a hefty four-, five- or even 6-figure price tag.

Of course, Marte signed a 4-year, $78 million contract with the Mets ... so he could certainly afford it.

Trades like these happen fairly often in sports -- but sometimes they can end up disastrous ... you'll recall, Clinton Portis and his former teammate Ifeanyi Ohalete got in such a dispute over payment for a jersey number back in the day that they actually ended up in civil court over it all.

Doesn't seem the Marte/McNeil swap has any shot of reaching that point ... especially 'cause both dudes are off to great starts this season in their new threads.

So ... enjoy the watch, Jeff!

F1's Charles Leclerc $320K Richard Mille Watch Stolen Investigation Underway

UPDATE

12:13 PM PT -- TMZ Sports has confirmed Leclerc's watch was stolen while out in Viareggio ... and an investigation is underway.

Formula 1 superstar Charles Leclerc reportedly had his $320,000 Richard Mille watch snatched right from his wrist during a photo op with fans in Italy ... but thankfully, the driver was allegedly unharmed.

Leclerc -- who's off to an incredible 2022 for Ferrari and sitting atop the driver standings -- was with his friends and trainer, Andrea Ferrari, in Viareggio on Monday when the incident happened, according to the report.

Motorsport.com says the 24-year-old was walking around Via Salvatori at 10 PM when he was recognized by fans, who asked for a pic.

After posing for a shot with the group, Leclerc realized his watch was taken ... and reported it to police.

Andrea went to social media shortly after the alleged theft to complain about the area being poorly lit ... calling for the street lamps to get fixed.

Of course, Leclerc has had a partnership with RM for years ... and even has his own signature watch. On top of that, Richard Mille became an official sponsor for Leclerc's Ferrari team ... so it won't be too hard to get a replacement.

Leclerc is in Italy for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix ... which is set to go down on Sunday.

Scary situation ... but the guy was back to meeting with fans just hours later -- posing for pics, although it's unclear if he was wearing any extra jewelry.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

We've reached out to Ferrari for comment ... so far, no word back.

BALLER CHAIN

Moneybagg Yo kept his word to ice-out Ja Morant with a Bread Gang Chain ... and gave it to the Memphis Grizzlies star after Game 1 of the NBA Playoffs!

As we previously reported, the Memphis rapper and Morant have been cool since last season ... and Moneybagg Yo copped a diamond BGC chain last week for the NBA All-Star.

"Come get yo trophy" Moneybagg Yo said last week. "Proud of ya bra #Big12."

It seems Ja didn't have much time to go get his gift with the playoffs starting ... so Big Bagg pulled up.

041322_moneybagg_yo_kal
SHOWIN' LOVE TO JA

You can see the "Time Today" rapper sitting courtside at the Timberwolves-Grizzlies game on Saturday at FedExForum ... and Yo gave Morant the BGC pendant right on the court after the game.

FYI, the Grizzlies actually lost after the T'Wolves beat them 130-117 ... and one fan questioned Moneybagg why he would still give Morant the new bling if he took a L.

"U have to except yo losses like u do yo winnings," the 30-year-old rapper said.

"Either way, it go he a champ to me. He been putting on for our city regardless."

The 22-year-old guard did go off in Game 1 with 32 points and the 2nd overall pick in the 2019 draft has led the Grizzlies to their second consecutive playoff appearance.

For Memphis' sake, here's hoping the new bling will give the Grizz some momentum Tuesday's game 2.

Moneybagg Yo Wants Ja Morant to Shine in Playoffs ... Cops Diamond Bread Gang Chain

NBA superstar Ja Morant has plenty of hip-hop friends in high places -- and it always pays off if they actually have "Money" in their name.

After blitzing through a $55k diamond shopping spree with "Banking On Me" rapper Gunna last week, the Memphis Grizzlies guard was just blessed with a shimmering Bread Gang chain from local rap hero, Moneybagg Yo.

041322_moneybagg_yo_kal
SHOWIN' LOVE TO JA

Moneybagg -- who's also a member of Yo Gotti's CMG label -- has a solid relationship with No. 12 dating back to last season when Big Bagg provided the soundtrack single to Ja's Amazon documentary, "Promiseland."

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

They also starred in a Nike commercial together.

Moneybagg Yo is hoping the additional Bread Gang bling will help Ja and the Memphis Grizzlies prevail against the Minnesota Timberwolves in their upcoming NBA Playoffs series, tipping off Saturday.

As for the rap star, he's still riding high after being crowned Trapper of the Year by T.I.'s Trap Museum back in March, and Moneybagg's promising no less than 200k in first-week sales for his next album.
