celebrity kids

Diddy's sons are in New York watching their father go through an indictment and court proceedings ... but his teenage twin daughters are hanging back in California with a family friend.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ … Diddy's teen, twin girls 17-year-old D'Lila and 17-year-old Jessie are currently in Los Angeles under the care of their late mother Kim Porter’s best friend, Lala.

We're told Lala has acted as a caregiver for the girls for several years, though she is NOT a legal guardian.

Before this cutie pie in her purple top turned into an American actress, she was just hittin' the sunny beaches of SoCal with her younger sis, attending school in Santa Monica and dreaming of seeing herself on the big screen one day ...

She first popped up on the scene starring in a popular rom-com movie with her mama, and just a couple years later she would appear again with her mom in the film "Knocked Up" ... and also with her sister.

Perhaps you'd most recognize her portraying Lexi Howard on HBO's "Euphoria" with Zendaya.

Nikki Bella and Artem Chigvintsev are tag-teaming quality time with their son, Matteo ... weeks after the "Dancing With the Stars" pro was arrested for domestic violence.

The retired WWE star came into contact with her estranged husband in Napa Valley on Sunday ... marking the first time the exes have been photographed together since their drama at home.

Their exchange was all business, as Artem arrived at the house he previously shared with Nikki for some one-on-one time with 4-year-old Matteo ... when he briefly crossed paths with his estranged wife in the front yard.

Kanye West's starting a family band ... bringing out his entire brood to perform with him in China in front of a packed stadium.

The rapper brought out North, Saint, Chicago and even little Psalm to take the stage with him for the 'Vultures' listening party at the Wuyuan River Sports Stadium in Hainan.

Check out the clip ... Ye brings out all four of his kiddos -- and, the stadium goes absolutely nuts, screaming wildly for the whole Kardashian-West clan.

Britney Spears is shouting out her sons, wishing them a happy birthday month ... right after posting about how she had to cut people off for playing mind games.

The singer-songwriter hopped on Instagram Saturday to share several posts ... including a tribute to her two kids -- Jayden who turned 18 Thursday, though Brit will keep paying child support through November, and Sean who turned 19 today.

The mother-of-two says she hopes all their bday wishes come true ... and shared a few sweet photos from back in the day as well.

Artem Chigvintsev and Nikki Bella's divorce is already getting ugly ... because they are at odds over two major issues ... money and their son.

According to a report by Us Weekly, Artem responded Friday to Nikki's divorce filing ... and he's asking for joint legal and physical custody of their 4-year-old son, Matteo.

The "Dancing With The Stars" pro is also asking for spousal support from Nikki.

Before this SoCal dude lookin' back at the camera turned into an actor, he was just throwing on his baseball cap, marchin' into school with his backpack and kickin' off his acting career at 9 years old ...

One of his first films was "Georgia Rule" starring Lindsay Lohan in 2007 and he had a minor role in "Desperate Housewives" the same year. He's most known for his popularity obsession in the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" movies.

In 2020, he worked alongside Madison Pettis in "American Pie Presents: Girls' Rules"

Need another hint? He's got shaggy brown hair!

Chad McQueen, who famously played Dutch in the 'Karate Kid' movie franchise, is dead ... TMZ has learned.

Chad died Wednesday at his ranch in Palm Desert, CA as a result of organ failure ... according to his longtime attorney, Arthur Barens.

We're told he had an injury a few years ago which led to progressive organ failure and ultimately killed him.

King Combs is backing up his father Diddy's statement that his former artist Dawn Richard's explosive lawsuit is nothing but a bogus cash grab -- and he reposted what he calls proof of her deception!!!

We broke the story ... the former Danity Kane singer alleged she suffered through years of torment and sexual abuse in spite of her lengthy tenure -- and reunion -- with Diddy!!!

The 26-year-old Bad Boy heir reposted on his IG Stories a TikTok sleuth who shared alleged text messages between Dawn and Diddy showing excitement to get back on board with the team ... and King added his own "Capathon" caption to the deep dive ... basically calling DR a boldface liar.

Happy Birthday, Jayden James!!! It's time to celebrate, both your adulthood and the fact child support from Britney Spears will not end on this special day.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the original child support order in the Britney/Kevin Federline divorce provided that child support payments would cease on the 18th birthday of Jayden, the youngest son, OR when he graduates high school, WHICHEVER IS LATER. We've learned Jayden will graduate from high school in Hawaii in November -- it's an early graduation -- so the child support payments will continue until then. That means Britney will make payments in October and November, and then it all stops.

We're told the original child support order was $20,000 a month. But, in 2018, it went up to $40k a month, partly because Kevin pretty much had the kids all the time, and there were additional expenses as the kids got older.

Cardi B's family just grew a little larger ... 'cause she just gave birth to her third child -- announcing it moments ago on social media.

The rapper -- who just revealed her pregnancy last month amid divorce proceedings with long-time partner Offset -- confirmed the news Thursday with pics and videos of her holding the baby girl in the hospital bed.

Offset's with Cardi in the hospital in the photos ... sitting with their kids, and each holding on to the newest addition to the family -- who Cardi calls "the prettiest lil thing." She writes 9/7/24 in the caption -- so, looks like the baby was born Saturday.

Before this adorable kiddo in her cowgirl hat turned into a famous musician, she was just grabbing hold of her mini guitar, performing at her school's talent show and dreaming of performing at the MTV video music awards!

Maybe your favorite artist's favorite artist has given her a lil' shout out. She'll be sure to get you up on your feet and partaking in her "Hot To Go" dance, and Olivia Rodrigo is obvi a big fan of this shining star, because she opened for Rodrigo's "Guts" world tour!

Perhaps you can meet her at the "Pink Pony Club" after her VMA performance tonight!

Lil Baby pulled out all the stops for his 9-year-old's birthday bash ... throwing a Ravens-themed party that felt like a real NFL game -- and it even featured a surprise from Lamar Jackson!!

The rapper's son, Jason, was treated like a king during the event ... which was decked out with a flag football contest, concessions, postgame interviews and, of course, cake.

The kiddos even got their own hyped-up entry ... with sparks flying when Jason and his friends ran out onto the turf in custom Ravens jerseys -- just like the pros.

Jesse Williams is back to fighting with his ex-wife over their child custody schedule ... and it's getting nasty.

The actor just filed new docs, obtained by TMZ, seeking a change in their child custody agreement ... and he's taking a few shots at his ex in the process.

Jesse is looking for a 50/50 split in their custody schedule and wants to see their kids more than the one or two overnight stays he gets with them during the school year ... but he says his ex, Aryn Drake-Lee, is not playing ball.

Chester Bennington's son Jaime says he's getting death threats from Linkin Park fans after criticizing the band’s controversial lead singer, Emily Armstrong.

Jaime claimed in an IG vid Monday people have been sending him nasty messages, including some telling him to kill himself and questioning whether he truly understands what his dad would want if Chester were alive today.

Jaime highlighted the hypocrisy in their messages, saying if they really understood how his dad died, they’d realize their trolling comments are inappropriate, and way off. Chester died by suicide in 2017.

Kick Kennedy and Ben Affleck are finding common ground ... they're both wicked pissed about the ongoing chatter over their rumored romance, which just won't go away.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s daughter was in Venice, Los Angeles Friday night when a photog asked her straight up if she was dating Ben.

It's the first time Kick's been asked about Ben directly -- but she's not jumping at the chance to set the record straight once and for all ... instead, she skirts the question entirely.
