Celebrity Divorce

Josh Hall's asking for privacy while navigating his divorce ... saying he won't badmouth anyone -- though he's making it clear he didn't wanna split from Christina Haack.

The reality television star took to Instagram Friday to address his divorce from CH ... telling his followers he's not the kinda dude to talk crap about his ex for thousands of his followers to see.

That said, Josh wants everyone to know he didn't ask for the divorce -- something sources close to him told us recently -- but, now they need to deal with it privately.

Jennifer Lopez might be on the outs with Ben Affleck -- but she's staying married to her engagement ring ... swapping it to the opposite side of her body.

The singer-songwriter stepped out in NYC Thursday at "Cats: The Jellicle Ball" ... and, eagle-eyed fans will notice she's still got her big ol' green rock ring on -- but on the wrong hand!

Check out the pics ... J Lo's rocking a floral-print dress and a red purse -- and there's the huge, glimmering band with the giant emerald gemstone perched on her right ring finger ... which is the ring Ben gave her to pop the question.

Cardi B's divorce filing from Offset just got a lot more interesting -- 'cause we know now she wants her estranged hubby to cough up child support ... including for their third baby.

TMZ has obtained the divorce docs -- and they spell it out clear as day ... noting the couple is expecting their third child together ... and not just that, but Cardi is demanding Offset help pay support for their three kids.

As we told you ... she's also seeking primary custody of the children -- something that's also confirmed in the divorce filing here. In terms of why they're splitting ... Cardi is citing irreconcilable differences, with no chance of patching things up.

8:10 AM PT -- While Christina Haack clearly thought Josh Hall was making a reference to her and their ongoing divorce, we now know that's not the case ... 'cause he was getting at something else entirely.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Josh was actually visiting a cop friend of his, who's terminally ill -- and he's being treated at a cancer treatment facility called City of Hope. Our sources say Josh dropped the blue heart to show solidarity with law enforcement.

In other words, this had nothing to do with Christina -- even though she clearly took it that way.

Mama June's daughter Lauryn "Pumpkin" Efird has called it quits with her husband Josh Efird after 6 years of marriage, TMZ has learned.

According to court docs obtained by TMZ, Pumpkin filed for divorce from Josh this week in Wilkinson County, Georgia. The couple share 4 minor children -- Ella, Bentley, and twins Sylus and Stella.

Per the docs, the parties have contractual agreed to have joint custody because they believe it’s in the best interest of their children as their marriage is "irretrievably broken."

Cardi B won't let her marriage woes -- or the bun in her oven -- get in the way of her music -- 'cause her album plans are still on track for this year ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Cardi's big news Thursday -- namely, the fact she's pregnant (again) and the fact she's headed for divorce (again) will in no way delay the release of her new album -- which we're told is still set to arrive later in 2024.

Thing is ... we're told Cardi is more than three-quarters of the way done with the project -- which is interesting, because that means there's still work to be done.

Wrestling star Mercedes Moné -- formerly known as Sasha Banks -- has filed for divorce from her husband, Sarath Ton ... TMZ Sports has confirmed.

Court records we obtained show the 32-year-old AEW athlete formally filed the docs on Tuesday in Florida ... officially ending the couple's marriage after eight years.

Reasons for the split were not immediately known.

DJ Envy is still rooting for Cardi B and Offset's marriage -- even hours after the "Bodak Yellow" rapper filed for divorce ... and he's even got advice on how to make it work.

We got the 'Breakfast Club' co-host in NYC Thursday -- and he tells TMZ Hip Hop he has relationships with both Cardi and Offset ... and thinks they're both genuinely good people, even if they have some kinks to work out between them.

Of course, he's reacting to Cardi setting the internet ablaze -- not only announcing her divorce but the fact she's pregnant with a new baby ... and DJE has thoughts.

Cardi B created a firestorm with the whirlwind news of her divorce and pregnancy -- but a new song that's out aimed at her soon-to-be-ex-husband Offset has people buzzing too ... even though it's really much ado about nothin'.

Here's the deal ... right on the heels of Cardi's divorce news, a song surfaced on YouTube that was being attributed to Cardi -- and it was being advertised as a diss song at Offset ... which was titled 'Tia Kemp (It's Over)' ... and it sure sounds like Cardi rapping on the beat.

There's a pic of Rick Ross' ex Tia Kemp on the album art for this -- which had people confused as to whether this was actually Cardi crapping on her estranged hubby. Well, as it turns out ... we know that's not the case.

Cardi B is pulling the plug on her marriage -- again -- filing for divorce from Offset ... TMZ has confirmed.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ, the split has nothing to do with cheating. We're told this "is a long time in coming" -- the 2 have been growing apart for a long time. As one source put it, "They're just disconnected from each other."

We're told if you look back at Cardi's posts from December, she said, "You know when you just out grow relationships ... I'm tired of protecting peoples feelings ... I GOTTA PUT MYSELF FIRST!"

Ben Affleck has purchased a new multi-million dollar L.A. estate, TMZ has learned, all but marking the end of his marriage to Jennifer Lopez.

Real estate sources tell TMZ ... Ben just closed escrow on the Brentwood mansion for $20.5 million. The stunning residence has 5 beds and 6 baths with breakfast and dining areas, a separate family room, den, walk-in closets, media room, powder room, guest house and on and on and on.

TMZ broke the story ... Ben and Jen quietly tried selling their marital home in Bev Hills back in June, but there were no takers, so they officially put it on the market July 11 for $68 million. They bought the house just last year for around $61 million, so with the L.A. mansion tax, real estate commissions and several mil in renovations, they'll be lucky to break even.

Josh Hall is leaning on friends during his divorce from Christina Haack, dropping a pic of himself with Candace Owens and Amber Rose -- which came together spontaneously.

The celebrity realtor was grinning ear-to-ear in the IG Story post Friday ... clearly enjoying his company in Nashville despite his recent single status. Some might've thought this pic implies something else might be afoot between him and the two ladies ... but that ain't the case.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Candace is Josh’s longtime pal, and after finding out he was in Nashville and going through a tough time in his personal life -- she invited him to come kick it with her and Amber, and he took her up on the offer.

5:15 AM PT -- Christina Haack has broken her silence since the divorce filing, calling Josh Hall an "insecure man" and saying, "divorces don’t happen overnight."

She had more to say about this uncoupling as well ... take a look for yourself.

Christina Haack and Josh Hall's breakup wasn't just a surprise to fans ... we've learned the realtor was also blindsided by his new single status.

The gloves are off in Christina Haack's divorce from Josh Hall ... and it didn't take long for them to start bickering over money -- including claims he moved moolah outta her account.

According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Christina is scoffing at Josh's request for spousal support and she even claims he diverted more than $35K from a rental property she owns to his personal account the day after they separated.

Christina alleges Josh texted her professional property manager on July 8, asking for June payments to be sent to a different account ... his. She says the property manager complied with the request, believing Christina had authorized the change.

A new audio recording of Billy Ray Cyrus is raising eyebrows ... as the country star hurls a slew of insults at his estranged wife, Firerose.

In a recording obtained by TMZ ... Miley Cyrus' dad lays into Firerose over making him late for an event -- repeatedly calling her "an idiot" and a "dumbass."

The recording -- which sources close to Billy Ray say is heavily edited and doesn't accurately depict the situation -- features an argument between the now-separated couple, where BRC belittles Firerose several times.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard is going to have to hold her horses on cutting all ties from estranged husband Ryan Anderson ... their divorce is not going to speed through the courts.

Ryan's attorney, Jeffrey Carrier, tells TMZ … when married couples without children divorce in Louisiana, they have to live apart for 6 months after divorce papers are served before they can even request a divorce hearing.

Gypsy and Ryan publicly split in March, but we're told he wasn't served until the middle of July ... which is when the 6-month clock starts. As a result, this divorce will bleed into next year.
