Hollywood Exes

Courtney Stodden is single once again ... we've learned they and their fiancé, Chris Sheng, have called off their engagement.

Sources close to the former couple tell TMZ ... Courtney and Chris called things off 6 months ago. We're told the breakup was mutual, with one source saying, "The car was out of gas."

Their relationship just started to crumble, according to our sources -- Courtney's pals allegedly felt something was off between them from the beginning, thinking there was jealousy and insecurities brewing while they were together.

We're told Courtney would tell their friends they didn't feel seen with Chris -- and those around them agreed, telling Courtney they didn't think they were meant to be together.

Sources say the 2 saw each other regularly after the split, because at the time they were living under the same roof. They're no longer in contact ... and Courtney's telling their friends they want to heal and "find the epicenter of her happy."

For those unaware, Courtney and Chris have been on and off for 7 and a half years, getting engaged in May 2021. They showed off their ring to her fans at the time, saying it "made me gag it's so beautiful."

Kevin Costner's estranged wife Christine Baumgartner has moving trucks backed up to the front door ... bolting from their home with a few days to spare before her court-ordered move-out day.

Multiple vehicles were spotted arriving at the Costner ocean-front estate in Carpinteria, CA Friday ... and we're told another U-Haul was seen leaving the property earlier in the morning, too.

As you know, Christine leaving Kevin's property was part of the prenup they both agreed to when the got married back in 2004 ... she must be out of the home by the end of this month.

While Christine is in the middle of her move, Kevin is at one of his other homes in Aspen ... and he's got their 3 children with him for a little summer vacation.

The divorce means the kids get double vacays -- Christine already took them to Hawaii a week ago, where they stayed in a swanky resort while she spent time with a guy who's been a longtime friend to Kevin and Christine.

Now, it's back to reality for Christine.

She's got a moving crew to handle the heavy lifting, but she's there keeping a close eye on the process. As we reported, Kevin filed a detailed list of what she can and can't take.

Christine filed for divorce in May, and the split has been extremely nasty ... with early fights over child support and the prenup, plus allegations by Kevin she took large sums of money and other assets behind his back.

Ethan Slater may be done with his marriage, but he "desperately" wants to co-parent his nearly 1-year-old child with soon-to-be ex-wife Lilly Jay ... sources connected to Ethan tell TMZ.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ, Ethan has been talking to Lilly daily, mostly about their little boy. We're told Ethan spent a lot of time with his son in London after he had split with Lilly, and is determined to have a major presence in the boy's life.

Our sources say Lilly told Ethan repeatedly she was down with co-parenting. Ethan, we're told, asked Lilly about issuing a joint statement saying they were committed to co-parenting their son, but Lilly wanted to defer releasing the statement, at least for now.

We're also told Lilly had assured Ethan she didn't know where various media leaks were emanating from, so he was more than surprised to read Thursday that Lilly spoke with Page Six, calling Ariana Grande "not a girl's girl," adding her family was "collateral damage."

Sources tell us Lilly told Ethan she did not understand what it meant that she was on the record when she made the comments.

It's unclear what Lilly's position is regarding co-parenting, but Ethan adamantly wants to raise his son.

TMZ broke the story ... Ethan filed for divorce on Wednesday. If they're at odds on who raises the child, ultimately a judge will decide.

Travis Scott is treating Kylie Jenner's new boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet, like an oompa loompa on his new album "Utopia" ... and wants his bm to know she'll never find another beau more lit than him!!!

On the appropriately titled track, "Meltdown," Travis blows his tops going at Timothée while dissing his upcoming role as the King of Candy with the lyrics, "Chocolate AP and chocolate the Vs got the/ Willy Wonka factory (Vs)/ Burn an athlete like it's calories find another flame hot as me, bitch!!!"

In case you're not following Travis' hot lines, an AP is short for Audemars Piguet, one of the watches rappers favor these days that cost just as much as a moderately sized mansion ... while Timothée is set to play Willy Wonka in the fable's latest reboot ... a move too corny for his taste.

Confirmation that Kylie was getting cozy inside Timothée's chocolate factory began to surface in April, when her car was spotted at his house, and again during a mid-day taco run.

Kylie and Travis entered the summer in a fluid co-parenting situation, with zero expectations of getting back together ... but Travis is clearly upset Kylie moved on with the Golden Ticket guy!!!

Travis dropped his long-awaited "Utopia" album on Friday and all signs point to it being a huge success, with several fans complaining of outages on streaming services as everyone rushed to listen.

Well, everyone 'cept for Timothée most likely.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are finally in agreement on one thing -- they both want to try squashing their legal war over the winery they once owned together ... and their willing to do it out of court.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Brad and Angelina have agreed to mediation as a means to settle their dispute over French vineyard Chateau Miraval ... which is potentially a big development in this bitter legal battle.

The wine dispute's been brewing for a while ... as we first reported, Brad claims Angelina double-crossed him by secretly selling her interest in the winery to a Russian oligarch in 2021, and now Brad's suing her to undo the deal.

Remember ... Brad and Angelina bought Chateau Miraval in Correns, France way back in 2008, when they were still happily married.

Brad's claimed he invested a ton of time and money in the vineyard over the years, though also acknowledging Angelina ponied up 40% of the original $28.4 million purchase price, and he's claimed they always had an understanding neither could sell off their interest without the other's consent.

As we've reported, Angelina went to court in July 2021 and told a judge she had reached an agreement to sell her interest to an unnamed person ... and Brad says in September 2021 he agreed to allow Angela to move forward with a potential sale, while making it clear he would still reserve the right to give a thumbs up or down to the proposed buyer.

Cut to a few months later, when Brad says he was shocked to learn a subsidiary of the famous vodka company Stoli Group, controlled by Russian oligarch Yuri Shefler, bought Angelina's interest in the vineyard -- so, he sued in an attempt to get a judge to undo the deal.

With all the nastiness between Brad and Angelina over the years, it will be interesting to see what comes out of the mediation.

Maybe we can all get along, but also ... maybe don't hold your breath.

Beyoncé's mom, Tina Knowles, is pulling the plug on her second marriage ... filing for divorce from her actor husband, Richard Lawson, after 8 years of marriage.

Tina beelined it to court Wednesday and filed for divorce ... this according to new legal docs obtained by TMZ.

She lists the date of separation as Tuesday, and Tina is rolling with the usual irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.

Tina and Richard tied the knot way back in April 2015 ... and they did not have any children together.

Of course, Tina has two kids with her first husband, Mathew Knowles ... Beyonce and Solange.

In the docs, Tina is asking the court to terminate the court’s ability to award spousal support to her or Richard.

Tina's apparently changed her name to Celestine Lawson when she married Richard ... and now she wants to have her named restored to Celestine Knowles.

Ariana Grande's boyfriend wants a totally clean slate going into his new relationship with the singer ... filing to divorce his estranged wife.

According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Ethan Slater decided to legally end things Wednesday with Lilly Jay ... filing divorce papers in New York. We don't yet know the specific reason Ethan's listed for the split.

Ethan and Lilly were high school sweethearts -- getting hitched back in 2018 -- and welcomed a son together last year.

The move isn't necessarily surprising, TMZ broke the story ... Ariana and Ethan have been together for several months now, sources told us both were single when they started dating after meeting on the set of "Wicked."

However, sources close to Lilly told us she was heartbroken to hear about Ethan's new relationship ... and feels he abandoned his brand-new family.

As for Ethan and Ariana's side of Lilly's claims, a source close to the two told us, "It's understandable that emotions are high and it's hard seeing your ex move on, especially in such a public way, and her friends are trying to protect her. But Ari and Ethan are just trying to lay low and be respectful of their exes as they pursue this new relationship."

Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix coming face-to-face is not happening -- not for cameras, at least -- as we've learned the 'Vanderpump' exes haven't shot a one-on-one scene together since filming started for the next season.

Sources connected to the show tell TMZ ... Ariana is refusing to share the screen with Sandoval, and keep in mind, they've been filming for season 11 since late June. The prospects of that changing don't look good, either, because she's just not interested in talking to the guy.

Contrary to a report, we're told Ariana hasn't spoken to him directly since last season's tense reunion -- and they're only communicating through other people.

Our sources say production is currently slated to wrap around the first week of September, so producers are in crunch time ... and we're sure a scene with Tom and Ariana is at the top of their to-do list.

As we reported, the closest they've gotten to each other since production began was at SUR earlier this month, where they both were in the building but steered clear of each other.

One thing Tom couldn't avoid was the wrath of Scheana Shay ... she ripped into him about Rachel Leviss, who's creating a whole other problem for producers.

We told you Bravo has her under contract to appear in the new season, but she's been MIA from all shoots since ending her 100-day stay in a wellness facility. The issue for Bravo is ... under California law, she can choose to walk away.

Rauw Alejandro is setting the record straight on his recent split from Rosalía ... debunking the theory that infidelity was to blame for the couple's end.

The Puerto Rican singer took to Instagram Wednesday to let fans know the facts, saying the 2 broke off their engagement a few months ago -- but makes it clear there were no third parties involved in the breakup, and says there was no cheating going down.

He says he never thought he'd have to speak publicly about something like this, but the folks claiming he's been less than faithful was enough to get him to come forward. He doesn't go into details on the split, but he's at least crossing a few theories off the list.

As we reported, Rosalía announced their engagement back in March, and the 2 have been practically joined at the hip ever since their romance began in 2021 ... so the split came as a shock to fans everywhere.

BTW, people online have been speculating Rauw was hooking up with IG model Valeria Duque ... and while Rauw's been taking a beating over the rumors, Valeria's been catching flack, too -- and she's since switched her account, which has 1.4M followers, to private.

Hulk Hogan has wedding bells in his future ... because he just got engaged to his girlfriend of over a year.

The pro wrestling icon tells TMZ Sports ... he and Sky Daily got engaged last week, with Hogan popping the question at a restaurant in Tampa, Florida.

Hogan tells us he was very nervous about proposing ... but Sky said, "Yes."

The WWE Hall of Famer says his fiancée has three children of her own, and he fell in love with all of them.

As we reported, Hogan and Sky, a yoga instructor, started dating early last year ... with Hulk moving on quickly after his divorce from his second wife, Jennifer McDaniel, was finalized.

We broke the story ... Hulk also had to buy Jennifer a new car as part of the divorce settlement.

Hogan and Jennifer were married for over 10 years, tying the knot in 2010 after he split from his first wife, Linda Hogan.

Now, Hulk's heading for his third marriage.

Gisele Bundchen is brushing off the fact her ex-husband Tom Brady is now dating another supermodel, Irina Shayk ... and it sounds like Gisele expected it to happen eventually.

A source close to Gisele tells TMZ ... "Why wouldn't she be happy for Tom? She divorced him. It is helpful to her freedom that he moved on."

The source says Gisele and Irina are NOT friends, but they have known each other professionally for years and have always been cordial when they cross paths.

TMZ broke the story ... Tom and Irina spent the entire weekend together in Los Angeles and are now officially dating, after first meeting at a billionaire's wedding where several models were hitting on Tom.

Some of our other sources say Gisele is "not happy" about the Tom and Irina news ... but now, people close to GB are pushing back.

For her part, Gisele has been spending a lot of time with her jiu-jitsu instructor in the wake of her and Tom's divorce ... though people close to her have consistently said she's not dating Joaquim Valente.

So, Tom's the first to officially move on ... and Gisele is rolling with it.

We covered it all in the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

"Vanderpump Rules" star James Kennedy has chosen a new name for his pup ... the same one he scooped up from a shelter after living with his ex, Rachel Leviss.

James shared a cute snap Sunday of the dog formerly known as Graham Cracker -- now called Hippie, according to the DJ. He says it carries some sentimental weight, being "a tribute to my late godfather, George Michael's dog's name."

He says the legendary singer's pooch was "the only dog I saw around the house growing up" ... and he thinks both George and Hippie are watching over him today and would be pretty proud of him.

As we reported, James posted some pics with his dog and his GF Ally Lewber last week, during the "VPR" Lake Tahoe trip.

Sources told us it was recently dropped off at a shelter after having a biting problem, and Rachel's mom, Laura, claimed she was bit down to the bone while caring for Hippie while her daughter was at her mental health facility, according to ET.

After some rehabilitation, Vanderpump Dog Foundation learned where the pup was and set up the reunion with James.

Tiffany Haddish says Common's claim their breakup was amicable is BS -- she claims it was anything but, and that he dumped her with a phone call.

The actress/comedian dished to WaPo about her version of what went down when they went their separate ways in late 2021 ... after a year of dating during the pandemic. A month after they split, Common went on the record, calling it "a mutual thing."

He also said the lifting of COVID restrictions made them grow apart, and he felt they weren't "feeding the relationship" ... even though he had fond memories of their time together.

Welp, Tiffany remembers things a little differently ... especially on how it ended.

According to her, it was actually Common who started to drift away, as she claims he failed to invite her to a number of events they could've gone to as a couple ahead of their uncoupling ... including his own birthday party!

TH also says this ... "It wasn’t mutual. It was more him saying, ‘I think this relationship has run its course.’ And, I was like, ‘Okay. Like you gonna be a 50-year-old single man. Okay?'"

The one thing they seem to be on the same page about ... when it was good, it was great. Both Tiffany and Common have characterized the bulk of their relationship as healthy and mature -- but they're speaking different languages when it comes to how it finished.

Kevin Costner's estranged wife Christine Baumgartner is soaking up the sun with her kiddos in Hawaii ... just over a week after she was awarded a massive chunk of change in child support.

Christine seemed to be having the time of her life on the sandy beaches Thursday, snapping selfies with her daughter as waves crashed on their feet.

She looks to be in great spirits -- to be fair, it's kinda hard to frown while on a Hawaiian vacay, but the weight of her ongoing divorce doesn't seem to be affecting her one bit.

As we reported, Christine's getaway comes after a judge determined Kevin's gotta cough up $129,755 monthly in child support -- while the ruling was tentative, these decisions rarely change when the hearing takes place.

Rachel Leviss is making some more big changes in her life ... she changed her name, and now, she's no longer a dog mom.

James Kennedy posted some photos with Graham, the dog he once shared with Leviss when they were dating, claiming the pup is back with him for good. Sources with direct knowledge tell us James found out through a mutual friend Raquel was trying to find a new home for Graham ... she didn't connect with him directly.

Clearly, the "Vanderpump Rules" star is thrilled to have his pooch back, kissing him in photos with the caption ... "Look who made his way back home, back into my life, I'll take care of you forever and I love you. ❤️"

It appears the images are from the 'VPR' trip to Lake Tahoe ... where some of the cast members are currently hanging out. James is with his girlfriend Ally Lewber in one of the pics, kissing the dog while on a boat.

Remember ... Leviss and James originally got Graham back when they were dating, but she took the pooch with her when they ultimately split.

Now, James has the dog ... and the timeline suggests Graham Cracker made his way back to James when Rachel went to the mental health facility she ended up calling home for 2 months.

In any event, it looks like Graham Cracker has a loving home.

Kim Kardashian is reflecting not-so-fondly on her relationship with Pete Davidson after her marriage to Kanye West fell apart, and yes, regrets ... she has a few.

The billionaire entrepreneur discussed this very topic with sisters Kylie and Kendall Jenner on Thursday's episode of "The Kardashians," explaining she "jumped into a relationship so fast" with Pete following her divorce from Kanye.

Kim said, "It got my mind away from stuff and that's not a way to run from things." She then offered herself some good ol' advice, “It's better to deal. Heal … deal, heal and then feel."

With all the drama surrounding Kanye, Kim says she's trying not to look at it so "negatively." She promised not to carry every bad event in her life, vowing, instead, to learn from her experiences to make herself a better person.

As you know, Kim filed for divorce from Kanye in 2021, finalizing a settlement the following year. During her annulment phase, Kim dated Pete for nine months, but they broke up because their busy schedules and constantly being apart were putting a drag on their romance.
