Celebrity Divorce

Jennifer Lopez looks to be on a family-free trip in Italy this week -- this amid the marriage and career troubles over in the States ... and yes, that means Ben Affleck was MIA.

Check out this photo/video, obtained by TMZ, that shows J Lo at a hotel in Positano Wednesday -- where she had a few pals in tow as they made her way through a row of sun loungers, down a flight of stairs toward the water ... where they eventually got onto a boat.

Jennifer had her summer vacay look all buttoned up here -- rocking a teeny-tiny yellow bandeau top paired with matching printed shorts and shirt. TBH, she's quite glowing here.

Jennifer Lopez is out in Italy on a boat -- and Ben Affleck is here in Cali on a motorcycle ... hammering home the fact that they're worlds apart these days.

The actor was photographed enjoying some quality time with his son, Samuel, Wednesday ... in L.A. ... riding around on a motorbike. The kid seemed to be having a good time on the cruise about town ... smiling while clinging to his A-list dad's back.

Of course, J Lo was nowhere in sight ... as she was spotted catching some rays in Positano earlier Wednesday ... hanging out with some friends of hers, sans family.

Billy Ray Cyrus is firing back at his estranged wife after she claimed he bailed on their marriage one day before a planned double mastectomy ... but he has his own version of events.

The country star filed new legal docs in response to Firerose's complaint in their ongoing divorce case -- which Billy kickstarted by seeking an annulment following just 7 months as man and wife ... with BRC alleging marital misconduct as his primary reason.

Now, we're getting more of a sense of what set Billy off -- and according to his latest filing, obtained by TMZ, he's claiming Firerose completely misled him about who she really was.

Women are throwing themselves at Gerry Turner ... but he's not jumping back into the dating pool after finalizing his divorce from his reality TV match.

The 'Golden Bachelor' tells TMZ ... with his split from Theresa Nist still fresh, he's not ready to be in a new relationship right now. What's interesting is the swift divorce -- after just 3 months -- isn't hurting his profile with the ladies.

Gerry says interested women are sending him direct messages on social media, and even marching up to him in public spaces -- like wineries, for example -- and giving him their numbers.

Jennifer Lopez needs to pull a Beyoncé and go country -- that is, if she wants her career to avoid the same end as her marriage to Ben Affleck ... so says an industry vet.

Jon Peters -- who produced Jen's 1995 film, "Money Train" -- has a plan of action for the triple-threat star to rake in $$$ after she blew through millions on her wedding and $60M house -- and he details it all in TMZ's new Hulu doc -- 'JLo & Ben: Missed Warning Signs.'

Jon thinks Jen could easily pivot into the country music scene -- getting assistance from the likes of Shania Twain and other legends in the game, whom he thinks would welcome JLo with open arms. Ditto for the Grand Ole Opry, according to him.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's mega-mansion sale is sparking debate in L.A.'s luxury real estate market ... and TMZ's got insight from both sides on whether it's worth the price tag.

As we first told you ... Ben and Jen are looking to offload their $60 million Bev Hills home for a cool $65 mil -- and while some have scoffed at the asking price behind closed doors ... others have told us it's actually a Goldie Locks number ... meaning it's just right.

Benjamin Bacal -- from Revel Real Estate, who reps high-end clients in L.A. -- tells us $65M is perfect for asking ... as he feels it fits the home's scope/scale. He tells us ... if it's good enough for A-listers like Ben and Jen, then it's good enough for anyone.

Rory McIlroy appears to be getting over his U.S. Open loss with the help of his family and turtles ... the star golfer was seen hitting up a Marinelife center with his wife and daughter on Monday -- roughly 24 hours after his heartbreaking defeat at Pinehurst.

McIlroy was spotted leaving the Loggerhead sanctuary in Juno Beach, FL. with his fam by his side -- and while it seems they had a good day looking at sea creatures ... it's not hard to see the 35-year-old athlete still appears to be reeling from his Sunday meltdown.

Check out some footage of the McIlroys as they left their day date by the ocean ... while Mom and Daughter looked content holding some goodies from the building, McIlory was noticeably skulking feet behind.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are clearly headed for divorce, and some of the folks we've spoken with say one of the many reasons for the split -- JLo's "Love Addiction."

TMZ has a new documentary on Hulu -- 'JLo & Ben: Missed Warning Signs' -- in which Dr. Phil, Dr. Drew, Psychotherapist Dr. Jenn Mann and others say there are lots of reasons this relationship just didn't work.

One of the people with whom we spoke is Jon Peters, the mega-producer of movies like "Flashdance" and "Prince of Tides," who has a history of both dating famous people -- including Barbra Streisand -- and addiction.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter Vivienne chose to spend Father's Day by her A-list mom's side ... hitting the Tony Awards in the Big Apple, and channeling her mama's style.

The mother-daughter duo stepped out in twinning teal ensembles Sunday to support "The Outsiders" musical -- which was nominated for 12 awards heading into Broadway's biggest night ... and which Angie is responsible for co-producing.

Angie's teen daughter is notably serving as a producer's assistant on the play, so she helped out her mom with getting it all together. And, while "The Outsiders" won Best Musical ... that might not be the only reason Viv skipped out on spending the holiday with Brad.

Ben Affleck spent time with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, and not his current wife, Jennifer Lopez, for Father's Day -- this after J Lo sent him some love for the holiday.

JG was photographed Sunday walking up to Ben's rental in Brentwood -- heading up the driveway solo in a relaxed 'fit with no one else in sight ... at least in this shot anyway. The one person who was also not with Jennifer ... the other Jennifer, who still shouted out BA.

ICYMI, J Lo posted a Father's Day tribute to Ben Sunday, throwing up a photo of him from "Pearl Harbor" and calling him a "hero" ... even though we now know she wasn't with him.

Jennifer Lopez still has kind words for her man Ben Affleck ... wishing him a Happy Father's Day despite their recent marital woes.

The singer-songwriter shared a pic of a young Ben to her Instagram story in black and white ... and small lettering appears, one letter after another, under it. The message reads, "Our Hero. Happy Father's Day."

She also tossed in a white heart emoji ... letting everyone know she's still got a lotta love for her husband of nearly two years who is dad to Violet, Seraphina and Samuel and stepdad to her kids Max and Emme.

Jodie Turner-Smith is opening up about her estranged husband Joshua Jackson's new relationship ... and, she says it actually makes them a better parenting duo.

The actress sat down recently for an interview with The Cut ... where she finally discussed Joshua's entanglement with fellow star Lupita Nyong'o -- telling the publication her ex's happiness actually keeps everything on an even keel.

Turner-Smith says, "Good for them. We need happiness in order to peacefully co-parent." So, it sounds like she's cool with JJ moving on so long as it keeps their relationship cheerful.

Alexia Nepola's divorce is far from final ... 'cause she and her estranged husband are getting it on despite their split -- and, there are no boundaries on their intimacy it seems.

The 'Real Housewives of Miami' star revealed the nitty-gritty details of her still-romantic relationship with hubby Todd on Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge's "Two T's in a Pod" podcast released Saturday.

On the pod, Nepola says she and Todd have done just about everything under the sun since he filed for divorce at the end of last month ... adding the two still have strong feelings for one another.

Billy Ray Cyrus' divorce drama's already getting messy ... 'cause he's asking for a temporary restraining order to stop his wife from accessing his money -- but she's already firing back.

In new court docs, obtained by TMZ, BRC claims his estranged wife Firerose put 37 unauthorized charges onto his business American Express card between May 23 and June 7 ... totaling a whopping $96,986.05.

Cyrus claims Firerose overcharged the account without his knowledge, adding he never gave her access to the cards or his accounts in general ... pointing to the fact they did not file a joint tax return as alleged proof.

Deon and Karen Derrico -- stars of TLC's "Doubling Down With The Derricos" -- are officially divorced after a judge signed off on the split ... and yes, that means it's already official.

The couple filed for divorce on June 4 and received the judgment two days later on June 6 ... splitting legal and physical custody of their 13 minor children equally between the two parents.

According to the court documents, obtained by TMZ, Deon will pay $1,166 a month in child support while Karen won't pay any child support because she will bear the responsibility of the kids' medical insurance.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have issues with finances, Goldie Hawn has issues with crime in Los Angeles, and James Worthy remembers Jerry West ... all this on today's hot takes.
