Celebrity Divorce

Jax Taylor might be moving on ... hanging out with a mystery woman at a Los Angeles bar -- after separating from his wife of nearly five years Brittany Cartwright.

The reality star hit The Oaks Tavern in Sherman Oaks late Friday night with a group of friends -- including a woman he seemed to be getting pretty close with.

Check out the clip ... JT's trying to keep a low profile in the cap, but it's clearly him chatting away with friends and enjoying a couple drinks.

Ben Affleck's close friend Jason Mewes ain't buying into the swirling speculation the actor's marriage to Jennifer Lopez is crumbling ... not based on what he's seen.

We got Jason out Wednesday in L.A., and he told us after witnessing Ben and Jen's genuine affection at their wedding less than 2 years ago, he'd be downright shocked if the rumors were true.

Jason expresses some frustration over people immediately jumping to split speculation ... suggesting there's probably a more practical explanation -- most likely work-related -- behind Ben moving out of their marital home.

Jason Momoa is back on the dating scene with a new girlfriend after his recent divorce ... and we caught the lovebirds packing on the PDA!

The actor/musician went out for a night on the town in Nashville with beautiful gal pal Adria Arjona -- and the couple couldn't keep their hands or lips off each other.

We're told Jason first took care of some biz Monday night ... playing with his band ÖOF TATATÁ to a crowd at Cannery Hall.

Zac Brown's estranged wife is addressing the fact he's asking a court to muzzle her Instagram posts ... which she says is just him trying to play victim and silence her.

Kelly Yazdi hopped on IG Sunday to speak her piece on Zac's lawsuit from last week -- in which he sued her in an attempt to get an emergency restraining order ... one that demanded she take down an Instagram post that he thinks violates an NDA she signed.

She shared a very lengthy caption -- in addition to a brief video teeing up her statement -- and the general sentiment here is ... ZB is in the wrong, and she feels she should be able to express herself about their marriage.

Ben Affleck's wedding ring found its way back on to his hand, just one day after it vanished right in the middle of his marriage drama with Jennifer Lopez.

Ben's left hand went platinum (or silver) again Saturday ... the ring was visible as he punched in the security code at the rental home in Brentwood, where he's been living for several weeks since moving out of the Bev Hills mansion he and J Lo purchased last year.

Less than 24 hours earlier, Ben seemed to signal the end was near for their marriage ... as he did NOT have the ring on Friday evening while going to his kid's school play. With the ring's return, it seems it might have just slipped his mind on Friday.

Dean McDermott's firing off at trolls shocked at Tori Spelling's acceptance of his new girlfriend ... this despite seemingly obvious tension between the exes.

The actor jumped into the replies of a post featuring his new girlfriend, Lily Calo, to defend himself and his estranged wife after several fans said they couldn't believe Tori liked the post ... essentially showing her support.

In response to one comment which seemed to really upset him, Dean wrote, "It’s because she is a highly evolved and compassionate loving person, which is a lot more [than] I can say for the trolls commenting on this post."

Ben Affleck just upped the ante, or lowered it, amid the marital strife between Jennifer Lopez and himself -- because he's no longer wearing his wedding ring.

Well, at least he wasn't on Friday evening when pulling up to the school where his kid had a recital ... and as Ben moved the sun visor in his car, it became clear his left hand was a little lighter than it's been for almost 2 years.

As we reported, Ben has been living separately from J Lo for a few weeks now -- he moved out of the $60 million Bev Hills mansion they bought last year, and into a rental home in Brentwood.

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann may still be under the same roof -- but are keeping their distance big time ... including coordinating times they can each access their closet.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, a judge laid out a very formal plan that dictates when the estranged exes are both allowed to use their shared closet at their Georgia home ... this as they continue to figure out how to navigate their ongoing divorce.

Per the paperwork ... the former 'RHOA' star has been granted access to their master bedroom closet Monday through Friday, but only between the hours of 9 AM and 3 PM.

Jennifer Lopez liking romance advice online happened organically -- as the relationship coach behind the post has no connection to her, but her inbox is getting flooded regardless.

Lenna Marsak -- who threw up the IG post that J Lo liked Thursday, touching on unhealthy relationships -- tells TMZ ... she definitely doesn't know J Lo personally, noting that they don't even follow each other, but has a sense of how her upload made its way to Jen's feed.

Lenna says the post in question had already been doing well -- in terms of performance and shares -- so it's possible Jenn just stumbled across it on her explore page on IG and liked it.

Zac Brown wants a judge to force his estranged wife to take down an Instagram post that he says is incredibly damaging to him ... and he went to court to make it happen.

The country singer filed documents Friday against Kelly Yazdi -- whom he married in August ... only to split up with her four months later through a joint statement, amounting to a complete 180 on their relationship.

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, Zac claims that an Instagram post Kelly has up on her feed is in violation of confidentiality agreements she has signed with him.

Rory McIlroy's impending divorce clearly ain't affecting his golf game ... the PGA Tour star just lit up his first round at the PGA Championship.

Hitting the course for the first time since he filed for divorce on Monday from Erica Stoll, McIlroy showed no signs whatsoever of being off -- carding a 5-under 66 at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky.

Following the end of his round, he was in a tie for third ... just four strokes behind the leader, Xander Schauffele.

Sophie Turner wasn't sure she was ready to become a mom in her early 20s ... admitting she considered all her options at the time, including terminating her first pregnancy.

The "Game of Thrones" actress opened up about her motherhood journey in a new interview with British Vogue, where she admitted she considered not keeping the child ... even asking her estranged-husband, Joe Jonas, what they should do.

As Sophie recounted it ... she discovered she was pregnant while at a retreat in Bali ... saying she sat on the news for a week while discussing it with therapists onsite.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are still dancing through their divorce drama ... but their daughter Shiloh Jolie-Pitt is out there boogying down like there's no tomorrow.

Check it out ... a video posted by choreographer Lil Kelaan Carter shows Shiloh not just dancing, she's dripping in sweat and owning that dance floor like a pro.

She's doing a full-blown routine here -- popping and locking and busting out a ton of cool moves.

Rory McIlroy was not in the mood to discuss his personal life while facing a pool of reporters at the PGA Championship on Wednesday ... sticking to sports as he fielded questions.

TMZ Sports broke the story -- the 35-year-old golf superstar filed for divorce from his wife, Erica Stoll, earlier this week ... but anyone hoping to get some more info about Rory's off-course affairs was left without a sound bite.

Journalists were instructed to NOT ask anything about McIlroy's personal matters as he took the stage at Valhalla ... with someone hopping on the mic beforehand to tell reporters all they need to know was included in the statement his team released on Tuesday.

Christine Baumgartner isn't keeping her romance with Kevin Costner's former friend a secret anymore ... shamelessly holding hands in Montecito months after finalizing her divorce.

The actor's now-ex-wife stepped out with financier Josh Connor Tuesday -- walking out hand in hand in public ... while rocking sporty attire for a stroll around the ritzy SoCal town ... and they're not shying away from the PDA here.

There wasn't any kissing as far as we can tell ... but CB and JC were all over each other, hand-holding and even wrapping their arms around each other's waists.

So much has happened ... and it's only Tuesday! Strap in for some major TMZ TV hot takes.

First up, on "TMZ Live," Derek and Charles discuss Robert De Niro getting bleeped out on "The View" ... for going on a NSFW rant about Donald Trump.
