Couples

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are "absolutely happy" in their highly publicized relationship ... with the Kansas City Chiefs superstar thanking his inner circle for protecting his "real" romance.

Trav expressed sincere gratitude to his "Grotesquerie" costar Niecy Nash-Betts during the most recent episode of his "New Heights" podcast with his brother, Jason ... praising the actress for remaining tight-lipped when folks hit her up for tea on his personal life.

NNB explained her phone's been ringing off the hook ever since the Ryan Murphy show aired ... with friends and interviewers trying to get some intel on not only what happens on the show -- but also all about Traylor.

Keke Palmer is getting real about her tumultuous relationship with ex Darius Jackson, saying she had to turn to the courts in a desperate attempt to bring back order when things spiraled out of control.

The actress told PEOPLE it was the toughest experience she’s ever faced ... revealing that a lot was happening behind closed doors, especially with the birth of their son Leo last year and her fame putting major stress on their relationship.

Keke dives into it all in her upcoming book, "Master of Me: The Secret to Controlling Your Narrative," dropping Nov. 19 -- and she needed plenty of pages to unpack everything -- including that infamous moment when Darius publicly called out the outfit she wore to an Usher concert last year.

Keke also sought a temporary restraining order against Darius, alleging instances of domestic and emotional abuse.

Despite things having spiraled so deeply out of control, the estranged exes settled amicably and got joint custody of their son months later ... and looking back, Keke admits she wished she could say Darius was terrible the entire time, but the situation wasn't that black and white.

Melania Trump is standing tall alongside her hubby, Donald Trump -- opening up about life after his scary assassination attempts and tackling her conflicting pro-choice stance.

The former First Lady dished about the impact of her recent comments about abortion rights on Tuesday's installment of "Fox & Friends" ... making it clear while her view might've caught the public off guard, Donald was in the loop "since the day we met" -- so her book revelation was not a surprise to him.

It looks like the pair respectfully agrees to disagree on that topic. Melania took a moment to plug her memoir, "Melania" ... saying if folks want the full scoop on what "my body, my choice" truly means to her, they'll find the deets in those pages.

Allen wore a ringleader red coat and black top hot for the occasion, while Steinfeld wore a similar -- yet far sexier! -- get-up.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard is cutting through the confusion about her unborn child's paternity -- we're told she’s finally set to take a paternity test this week!

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ Gypsy isn’t questioning her boyfriend Ken Urker's paternity -- she’s doing this to give the public, and her estranged ex Ryan Anderson, some closure -- so he and everyone else can move on and know once and for all RA is not the baby daddy.

We’re hearing that Ryan hasn’t been clued in about the test because Gypsy doesn’t need his DNA -- she only needs Ken’s to confirm he’s the baby daddy. She’s confident it's him -- but if he's not, the results will clearly show he’s a 0% match.

Taylor Swift performed all weekend in Louisiana without her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, watching from the crowd ... but he was seemingly top of mind during her concert last night.

A rep for the Columbus County Sheriff's Office in North Carolina tells TMZ ... the case was investigated after Jenelle accused David of violating a court order and trying to steal the "Teen Mom" alum's motorbikes while she was out of town, but officers determined nothing was taken that he wasn't allowed to take.

You can see Tom lightly shove the paparazzi out of the way while holding tightly onto his lady love's hand. Unfortunately, Tom had to defend Zendaya on another occasion that evening, when she was swarmed by those seeking autographs.

Erik Menendez is ready to trade his regimented prison life for the lights of Southern Nevada ... because TMZ has learned he's got plans to live with his wife in Las Vegas if he gets out.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Erik wants to live with his better half, Tammi Menendez if he's released from prison. She lives there, so that's where Erik plans to go.

We don't know Lyle's intention once he's released from prison ... though he's married too.

2:15 PM PT -- Bill Belichick's making it clear he's siding with his girlfriend in the feud ... rockin' a Bridgewater State University cheerleading tee while hanging with Jordon Hudson on Thursday.
