Lukas and Chris got hitched over the weekend during a secret wedding ceremony at the Little White Chapel in Vegas ... according to Page Six, which first reported the marriage.

It was reportedly a very intimate affair, with only a handful of guests ... one of whom was their pal Kim Kardashian!

Lukas and Chris reportedly got engaged this month, weeks after confirming their romance on "The Drew Barrymore Show". They went public with their relationship back in February while vacationing in Punta Mita, Mexico.

It's not exactly clear when they started officially dating, but they're definitely not wasting any time ... for better or worse.

Busy weekend for them -- they went with Kim to see Usher's Vegas residency, and she also presented the "Hair Artist of the Year" award to Chris Sunday in L.A. at the Daily Front Row Fashion Awards.

Mazel tov!!

Sofia Richie Marries Elliot Grainge ... Star-Studded Wedding!!!

Sofia Richie is a married woman -- she just walked down the aisle to say "I do" alongside her now-husband, Elliot Grainge ... and their parents helped 'em take the big leap.

The model/influencer looked absolutely stunning Saturday during her nuptials at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, France ... where Sofia had her father, Lionel Richie, walk her down a pretty long flight of stairs that you can really only find in Europe. Stunning, basically.

As you can see ... SR's bridal gown is pretty traditional, although the part that covers her upper torso is a little more elaborate than your standard dress. Looks like this one wraps around her neck, and leaves her arms and shoulders fully exposed.

The veil was over her face as Lionel escorted her to the bottom of the staircase and her train followed closely behind. Before she made the trek down to the altar, Elliot did so himself ... and he had who appeared to be both his mom and dad helping him through the descent.

Elliot was looking sharp, too, of course with a standard black tux/bowtie. He's got a kippa on -- Elliot is Jewish, so it seems this wedding might've followed some religious customs.

There were some major stars on hand for this as well ... including Sofia's older sister, Nicole Richie, and her husband Joel Madden. Joel's brother, Benji Madden, was also there ... as was his own wife, Cameron Diaz. Of course, Paris Hilton and Carter Reum attended too.

The wedding caps off quite an eventful week for Sofia and co. Remember, on Friday, Sofia and Elliot were in the middle of premarriage festivities -- and there, too, they were looking snazzy in the beautiful European sunshine ... and were hand in hand. Their pre-reception went off without a hitch ... and it seems the real thing followed suit to a T.

Sofia announced her engagement to Elliot a year ago ... and had gone Instagram official the year before that. Word is, though, these two have had a relationship for a long time.

Elliot is a music executive working as the founder and CEO of 10K Projects ... an independent label that has signed the likes of Tekashi 6ix9ine, Trippie Redd, Iann Dior and lots of other big artists. His dad, Lucian, actually heads up Universal Music Group.

So, it's no surprise he came to know Sofia ... they run in the same high-profile circles.

Now, they're husband and wife. Congrats!!!

Kris Jenner, Corey Gamble Coachella Double Date ... W/ Bezos/Sanchez!!!

Kris Jenner was like her kids this weekend -- hitting Coachella with her man, and tagging along with one of the biggest power couples around ... Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez.

The KarJenner matriarch was out in the desert Friday night alongside her partner, Corey Gamble, but they weren't cruising alone -- on the contrary, there were a few private SUVs that pulled up to the VIP entrance area ... and the Amazon founder stepped out as well.

Of course, he was with his lady as well ... and they seemed to be rolling with a small group of friends/couples. Everyone was in their best music festival getups -- JB especially.

They stood around and chitchatted before being led to a secret back route to the main stage ... where they were set to watch Bad Bunny perform for the second weekend in a row as a headliner. Remember, he had a memorable outing days ago with Kendall Jenner.

Unclear if the Gen X crew here was on the grounds earlier in the day or not -- there don't seem to be any pics of them floating around from what we can see ... but they certainly rolled deep for the evening sesh. Gotta imagine they hung it up after that, though.

Anyhoo ... it's an interesting pairing, but not surprising. We already know Kim Kardashian has had face time with Jeff and Lauren -- so it follows that Kris would know them too.

The question, of course, that must be asked when you're chillin' with high rollers like this is ... who picks up the check for a big dinner? Kris is rich, Jeff's way richer -- maybe Corey???

The world may never know ...

Sofia Richie I'm Getting Hitched, Let's Party!!! Wedding Festivities Begin

Sofia Richie is going all out for her wedding to Elliot Grainge ... kicking off the weekend with a lavish celebration to welcome all their friends who've flown to France for the event.

Lionel Richie's youngest was hand-in-hand Friday with her fiancé, and the couple couldn't look happier to tie the knot.

Sofia had a white long gown while Elliot was suited and booted for the occasion -- and while they're looking the part, this is not the wedding ... just a welcoming reception.

For the most part, the love birds remained side-by-side during the event, smiling broadly as they walked around greeting everyone.

It's fair to say that this is the moment Sofia's been waiting for -- she's been sharing her excitement with posts documenting her makeup and outfit choices.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Sofia announced her engagement to the music executive in April of 2022, after going IG official a year prior. They'd known each other for years, though ... Lionel was reportedly good pals with Elliot's dad, Sir Lucian Grainge and they'd collaborated on music projects.

From the looks of it, this is only the start of all the wedding festivities to come this weekend.

LiAngelo Ball Expecting First Child W/ L&HH Star ... 'Excited For This Next Chapter'

The famous Ball family is growing by one ... 'cause LiAngelo just announced he and his girlfriend Nikki Mudarris are expecting their first bundle of joy together!

The professional basketball player and former "Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood" star revealed the amazing news to their millions of Instagram followers on Friday with pics from an intimate photo shoot.

"My partner and I are excited for this next chapter of our journey as soon-to-be parents!! 🧸🤎," Ball said in the caption.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Mudarris left a comment in the post ... saying she can't wait to meet their baby this summer.

"I wouldn’t want to bring our Angel to this world with anybody else," Mudarris said. "I love you ❤️"

Of course, this means LaVar Ball is going to be a grandpa once again (Lonzo already has a baby), while Zo and LaMelo Ball become uncles ... and they're hyped!

"My mom was yelling and cheering in excitement," the 24-year-old told People. "When I told my brothers they were happy for me and also excited to become new uncles to my seed."

The relationship between Gelo and the 32-year-old reality star was private for a long time until Nikki confirmed they were an item by congratulating her man on his NBA contract in her IG story last year.

Gelo also had several stints in the G League ... spending time with the Oklahoma City Blue and the Charlotte Hornets-affiliated Greensboro Swarm.

Congrats to the soon-to-be parents!!!

Larsa Pippen, Marcus Jordan Hosting Celeb Hoops Game ... Love & Basketball!!!

Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan are taking their love to the hardwood -- the couple is teaming up to host a celebrity basketball game ahead of the Miami Grand Prix!!

TMZ Sports has learned ... Larcus (yeah, we're coining that) are headlining the Wooshi World Celebrity Basketball Classic in Sunrise, FL on Wednesday, May 3 to benefit the "D Up on Cancer" charity.

Big names like Miami Dolphins superstar Tyreek Hill, Lil Pump, Ex-NFLer Bryant McKinnie, influencer Jen Selter and country artist Jimmie Allen are all slated to participate in the game at FLA Live Arena ... and the Chicago Bulls legend's son will serve as a coach.

The event -- also hosted by Celebrity Sports Entertainment, The Money Team and DJ Irie -- is another big step for Pippen and Jordan, who recently took things public after months of downplaying their romance.

Considering it's a special moment, it wouldn't be a surprise if Bravo cameras are present to get footage for a future episode of "The Real Housewives of Miami" ... which, of course, is the show Larsa appears on.

The two are pretty much inseparable at this point -- they've been going to romantic dinners, concerts and fancy boat trips together ever since they decided to go official.

Safe to say their relationship is a slam dunk!!

Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello didn't just hook up for old time's sake at Coachella ... they seem fully back together, and we know that from a 3-second video shot Wednesday!

Shawn and Camila were hand-in-hand, strolling down a street in Santa Monica ... near a bank of restaurants.

As we reported, they met up at Coachella last weekend and were smooching, hugging and dancing ... but the prevailing view was it was a one-off after their breakup a year ago.

Not the case -- clearly. Here's the mystery ... did they just happen to see each other at Coachella, was there planning, and could they have gotten back together even before the music festival?

S&C first began dating in July 2019, and quarantined together during the pandemic.

There was lots of buzz he recently hooked up with his chiropractor, Dr. Jocelyne Miranda, but that doesn't appear to be the case ... Jocelyne was at Coachella with Shawn and saw it all -- highly unlikely they were anything more than friends.

Anyway ... glad to have you to back!!!

Kanye West Gets Up, Dances At Fashion Show ... To One of His Tracks

Kanye West was jammin' at designer Jerry Lorenzo's fashion show ... bopping his head near the front of the audience as they played one of his hits during the night.

Ye appeared to be alongside his wife Bianca at Jerry's Fear of God show at the Hollywood Bowl Wednesday night -- getting up when his track, "Feel the Love" played while his pal Pusha T was onstage.

Clearly, Kanye was digging the shout-out from Jerry, and some audience members reacted to the rapper dancing -- even without seeing his face, everyone knew it was him. Both Ye and Bianca were wearing his trademark full-head masks. Him in black, her in yellow.

Jerry's remained a public supporter of Ye -- even through all the antisemitism -- and posted in January that Adidas just wasn't the same without him.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

As for the Fear of God show, Jerry showed off some collabs with Adidas, but with the event being an invite-only affair ... it's clear he's still backing Ye.

Rare these days ... for obvious reasons.

Neymar, GF We're Pregnant!!! ... 'Come Soon Child'

Big news for Neymar -- the soccer superstar and his girlfriend, Bruna Biancardi, just announced they're expecting their first child together!!

The 31-year-old Brazilian athlete and marketing manager/social media influencer, 28, shared the news on Tuesday ... showing off her baby bump in several Instagram pics.

"We dream about your life, plan your arrival and knowing that you are here to complete our love, makes our days much happier 🙏🏼," the couple said in the caption.

"You will arrive in a beautiful family, with your brother, grandparents, uncles and aunties who already love you very much!"

Neymar and Bruna have been dating for a few years now ... and judging by the birthday tribute the stunning lady gave the PSG striker back in February, they are madly in love.

This will be Neymar's second child -- he shares a son, Davi Lucca, with influencer Carolina Dantas.

"Come soon child, we are waiting for you!" Neymar and Bruna added.

Neymar is currently out for the season with an ankle injury -- and even showed off his foot in a boot in their photo shoot -- so he has plenty of time to help out with the pregnancy!!

Vanessa Bryant Wishes Kobe Happy Anniversary ❤❤ ... 'I Love You'

Vanessa Bryant shared a touching tribute to her late husband, Kobe Bryant, on Tuesday ... posting a throwback picture together in honor of their 22nd wedding anniversary.

"Happy anniversary, baby. I love you @kobebryant ❤️ #22," Vanessa captioned the picture in Florence, Italy.

Of course, Bryant held Italy near and dear to his heart -- he spent his childhood there, spoke fluent Italian and would frequently visit with Vanessa.

Kobe and Vanessa got engaged when Vanessa turned 18 ... and the couple officially tied the knot on April 18, 2001.

Vanessa's close friends Ciara and Lala showed her and Kobe love by commenting on the post ... as well as New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu, who Kobe mentored.

Last summer, Vanessa penned a heartfelt birthday note on Kobe's 44th birthday, writing about how much she loves and misses him.

Bryant -- who won five championships with the Lakers -- tragically died in a helicopter crash in 2020 with his daughter, Gianna, but both continue to live in the heart of Vanessa.

Imagine Dragons Dan Reynolds' Wife Files For Divorce

The wife of Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds is officially divorcing him ... after the estranged couple announced their separation last year.

According to court records, Dan's wife Aja Volkman filed Tuesday in L.A., pulling the plug on a marriage that lasted over a decade. They have four kids together.

As we reported, the soon-to-be exes called it quits in September, and a couple months later Dan was linked to his new GF Minka Kelly.

We've seen them on a handful of dates since then -- from grabbing dinner to holding hands on a walk to some lunchtime PDA.

Dan's been in pretty good spirits since his split from Aja ... and not only because of Minka. We recently saw him dancing up a storm on a cruise to Mexico last month.

FYI ... Aja and Dan initially announced a split way back in 2018 but, appeared to be rekindling their relationship -- that is, until last year.

Taylor Swift New Outlook on Going Out ... Another Post-Breakup Dinner in NYC

Taylor Swift looks to have herself a new attitude when it comes to hitting the town -- ever since we found out she's single, she's going out in public way more and looking super happy.

T. Swift was out again in New York City Monday evening, flashing a smile as she headed out for dinner at a SoHo restaurant.

Interestingly, Taylor made no effort to avoid photogs while looking confident in a brown short sleeve top, jeans and boots (gotta be an Easter egg in there somewhere).

It's Taylor's second straight Monday night out in the Big Apple ... last week, she was in the West Village, breaking bread with pal and longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff and his fiancée, actress Margaret Qualley.

Taylor being photographed in public twice in 8 days is pretty rare air for her, and a clear change since the split from Joe Alwyn.

Fact is, even before Joe, Taylor was never one of those celebs who frequents hot spot restaurants or clubs -- so it feels like this is a deliberate change of course.

Taylor going back to NYC between concert dates is worth noting too -- when she was there last week, she hit up the Electric Lady recording studio.

Perhaps, she's finishing up whatever she was laying down before she hits the road again later this week for her next Eras Tour stop in Houston.

Tom Sandoval & Raquel Leviss Code Names For Each Other On Cell Phones

Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss went to great lengths to keep their affair out of Ariana Madix's sight, even creating fake names for each other on their phones, TMZ has learned ... despite Tom claiming she knew the warning signs.

Sources connected to the trio tell TMZ ... it was Tom's idea to create the code names, and Raquel was more than happy to go along.

They both picked basic names for each other -- he put the name "Jamie" in his phone. We don't know what alias she used for him.

Peeps close to Tom and Raquel shockingly knew about the fake names ... Tom even called Raquel "Jamie" to his friends on occasion. Not a smart move.

Tom recently made an appearance on Howie Mandel's podcast ... claiming his affair was visible to Ariana, but she chose to turn a blind eye instead.

50 Cent Not Engaged to Cuban Link ... Despite Huge Diamond 💍

50 Cent and his longtime girlfriend Cuban Link sparked engagement rumors over the weekend after she was spotted wearing a HUGE diamond rock while watching him perform ... but fans shouldn't start cooking up about wedding day scenarios just yet.

A rep for 50 Cent tells TMZ Hip Hop ... the ring is not an engagement ring, but the couple IS very much together.

Cuban certainly helped stir the rumor pot with her IG post showing herself backstage watching her man with a Summer Walker love ballad playing -- plus, her caption had white heart and padlock emojis.

She had to know what fans would think, but again ... we're told there's no engagement.

CL actually debuted her hand ornament as far back as Summer 2022 around the time of her last birthday ... but fans might have missed the posts.

a newfound love???
Instagram / @thestrongwai, @bradxbrad, @getlow89

Ariana Madix seems to have moved on from Tom Sandoval with a new man -- getting awfully close and cozy with him down at Coachella ... and not trying to hide it either.

The "Vanderpump Rules" star is out in the desert with a bunch of other stars this weekend, and she's been documenting what she's been up to -- but, more importantly, who she's with ... and it looks like she's been hanging out a lot with some fitness trainer dude.

His name is Daniel Wai ... and he's all over Ariana's IG Story. Likewise, she's all over his as well -- and they were dancing the night away for Day 2 ... even posing for a sweet selfie.

Looks like Dan's rolling with her crew of friends, but in any case -- they definitely seem to be an item. Ariana threw up a photo earlier on Friday that showed her holding hands with someone ... and while you can't see the person's face, all signs point to Danny Boy.

The guy's got a somewhat decent social media presence -- about 15,000 followers -- and he's certainly about his craft ... with tons of clips and pics of him working out in the gym.

Meanwhile, we actually know what Tom was up to this weekend ... or at least on Friday. The dude was out at the NAMM Show at the Anaheim Convention Center ... which was basically a big music showcase, where artists could peruse equipment and instruments, and connect with other fellow enthusiasts. As you can see, Tom was worming his way around.

Kylie Jenner Hits Coachella with Pals in Tow ... No Sign of Timmy Chalamet

Kylie Jenner was among the many who hit up Coachella this weekend with friends, but the one person not in her orbit was the guy she's rumored to be seeing ... Timothee Chalamet.

The beauty mogul and reality TV star was seen wading through a crowd Friday night and rushing to a VIP area where she could catch Bad Bunny's headlining set ... alongside her sister, Kendall, and other pals in tow -- including Saudi Arabian model Fai Khadra.

You've probably seen this dude hanging out with Kylie and Kendall a lot over the past several years -- and that's because he's a good buddy of theirs ... aka, not a new flame.

Despite the fact that he seems to be guiding Kylie through the chaos -- and even reaching for and touching her hand at one point -- we know there's nothing romantic going on with these two ... it's just platonic, and there are no clear signs of PDA outside of that anyway.

Of course, with that now being established ... it leads to the obvious observation -- Timmy's absence amid a massive rumor mill surrounding these two ... namely, him and Kylie.

As we've reported ... there's been a ton of speculation and gossip about him and Kylie recently dating -- and considering we've seen her car at his place just this past week ... there may, in fact, be some truth to the matter.

Add in the fact they went on a covert mission to grab tacos in the heart of L.A. a full week-plus ago -- in broad daylight, no less -- and that's just more smoke to this would-be fire.

There's been no sign of Tim anywhere at Coachella so far ... so if they are a thing, it doesn't seem they wanna go fully public just yet. In the meantime, KJ's out here having a ball.
