Celebrity Divorce

Artem Chigvintsev and Nikki Bella are about to start a new chapter in their lives ... because we've learned they've settled their divorce.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Artem and Nikki went to mediation earlier this month and hammered out a divorce settlement.

Our sources tell us Artem and Nikki decided to quickly settle their divorce because they both want to move on, in part because it was getting very expensive to pay lawyers ... plus the whole process was becoming emotionally draining.

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann's most recent call to cops started when she allegedly tried to take a bunch of stuff from the house ... sparking verbal arguments between the two.

TMZ has obtained the incident report from police ... with officers saying they arrived at the house Monday and found Kim waiting, who they say asked them to stand by while she gathered some belongings from their shared Georgia mansion.

Milton Police say they told Zolciak to grab essential items and quickly leave the home ... explaining they couldn't wait around all day while KZ moved out.

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann are making one last-ditch effort to unload their Georgia home, slashing the price in a bid to avoid it hitting the auction block.

According to online real estate records, the 7-bedroom, 11-bathroom mansion just got a $300K price chop ... bringing it down to $3.65 million.

With a foreclosure auction looming on December 3, it's anyone's guess if the latest price cut will do the trick -- especially since the mansion was originally listed for $6 million in October 2023, making this a major markdown.

Mustard's personal life is getting ugly again ... he says his ex-wife is bashing him on social media, even though they agreed not to talk trash about each other ... and he wants a retraction.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, divorce attorney Samantha Spector claims the music producer's ex-wife, Chanel Thierry, has been violating the judge's order that they both refrain from trashing each other in public and online.

In one example, Mustard claims his ex tried to paint him as a deadbeat dad by falsely claiming the $275,000 equalization payment he made in their divorce settlement was only going toward back child support.

Artem Chigvintsev made the "Dancing with the Stars" guest list earlier this week ... but he’s got his sights set on a full-on return to the dance floor!

The dancer's attorney, Ilona Antonyan, tells TMZ ... 'DWTS' producers haven’t reached out to him about joining the line-up for next season, but he’d love to return if they’re open to it.

As we know, Artem didn’t return as a pro for Season 33, but Ilona says it’s all good -- he’s still on great terms with the show’s producers.

Jax Taylor is hitting back at estranged wife Brittany Cartwright's assertion he hasn't changed ... accusing "The Valley" star of being a hypocrite, since she allegedly still asks him to "hook up."

The "Vanderpump Rules" alum stopped by Bravo's "Hot Mic Podcast" Thursday, where he addressed Brittany's scathing assessment of his time in treatment -- and how their relationship has continued to crumble after the fact.

Jax says his ex is not being entirely honest about their dynamic, claiming she often asks him over for dinner or drinks after trashing him in the press.

Kim Kardashian’s getting real about raising her brood post-divorce from Kanye -- hinting that he's basically MIA in her life, and it’s her holding it down solo with the kiddos.

On the "What In The Winkler?!" podcast, Kim told host Zoe Winkler that even though she has a solid support system, she’s "basically raising four kids by myself" -- which she admitted is overwhelming, especially since she struggles silently, worried about being judged.

Kim shared that even the little things can feel like a lot -- like when all the kids pile into her bed, kicking her, crying, and waking up in the middle of the night.

Kim Zolciak cozied up with Chet Hanks at a Jelly Roll concert, showing zero signs of cooling down those dating rumors -- even as her divorce drama with Kroy Biermann blazes on.

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" was all about Tom Hanks' wild child at the show posting a ton of pics and vids Wednesday with him and some other pals, raving about how much fun she had.

In some pics, Kim and Chet were grinning for selfies, then there’s a clip of Kim leaning into Chet all flirty while they vibed to Jelly Roll ... later, the two went backstage to meet JR.

Celine Dion and Jennifer Lopez are both getting back on the performing horse ... taking the stage at a famous fashion show in Saudi Arabia Wednesday night.

The singers performed during this year's Elie Saab fashion show in Riyadh ... providing the entertainment for the 45th anniversary gala -- and, the 2 stars didn't disappoint.

First, Celine -- who made her big return to performing at the Opening Ceremony of the 2024 Olympics in Paris -- hopped onstage in a gorgeous golden gown, belting out hits like "The Power of Love," "I'm Alive" and other classic tracks.

Teddi Mellencamp said a sad goodbye to her husband in Los Angeles ... looking somber while waiting for a ride with her bags packed -- while it seems he tried to comfort her outside the family house.

The 'Real Housewives' star was spotted on the sidewalk Tuesday ... Dodgers cap pulled low over her eyes with a couple bags in hand -- standing next to her estranged husband, Edwin Arroyave.

It's hard to tell exactly what convo these 2 are having ... it certainly looks like Edwin's comforting his soon-to-be ex-wife, placing a comforting arm around her shoulder and giving the side of her head a smooch.

Artem Chigvintsev is back in his old stomping grounds ... hanging with his "Dancing with the Stars" family amid a rough patch in his life.

Artem surfaced Tuesday night in Los Angeles for the taping of the celebrity dance competition show's 500th episode ... but he wasn't on the dance floor, he was in the crowd.

The 'DWTS' alum's former colleague Peta Murgatroyd posted a video showing Artem dancing in the stands as the episode films ... alongside Peta's husband and Artem's buddy, Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

Ben Foster is calling it quits on his marriage to Laura Prepon ... and we're told the estranged spouses are already living separately.

In the divorce docs obtained by TMZ ... Ben cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason behind his split with Laura -- and asked the court to enforce their prenuptial agreement from 2018. He noted September 9 as their date of separation.

This coincides with what sources tell us ... as they say the "Orange Is the New Black" actress and the 'X-Men' actor broke up sometime in the last few months, and that Laura is currently living in Tennessee while Ben resides in Los Angeles.

Two people directly connected to Jessica Simpson have spoken with 2 divorce lawyers in the last 2 months ... specifically about Jessica's marriage to Eric Johnson ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... late last month someone close to Jessica went to a Los Angeles divorce attorney and said Jessica was unhappy in her marriage and wanted to arrange a meeting with the attorney and Simpson. We do not know if this was done at Jessica's behest, but we're told the message to the lawyer was clear. We're also told up to this point Jessica has not made contact with the lawyer.

And, we've learned someone on Jessica's team made contact with another Los Angeles divorce lawyer regarding matters that were divorce-related. Again, so far we're told there has been no follow-through.

Rachel Lindsay has shut the door on a possible return to reality TV to find love ... telling TMZ she will "never" do that again.

We caught up with the "Bachelorette" alum outside of Erewhon in Los Angeles Monday, where she gave an update on how's she doing amid her divorce from her husband, Bryan Abasolo ... who she met and got engaged to on season 13 of the ABC show.

As Rachel put it ... single life has "been great," as she's focusing on having "fun" right now.

Brittany Cartwright is putting her estranged husband, Jax Taylor, on blast ... claiming his stint in rehab didn't change him one bit.

The "Vanderpump Rules" alum opened up about her current relationship with Jax on Bravo’s "Hot Mic" podcast, where she said she saw little change in her ex -- despite his 30 days of treatment for his mental health.

As Brittany put it ... Jax didn't change "at all in those 30 days," promising her proof will play out on season 2 of "The Valley" -- which filmed over the summer.
