Raquel Welch, who paved the way as both an actress and international sex symbol has died ... TMZ has learned.

According to family members, Raquel died this morning after a brief illness.

Welch first rose to fame for her back-to-back roles in "Fantastic Voyage" and "One Million Years B.C." -- both in 1966.

Welch only had a handful of lines in 'B.C.' but it was her wardrobe -- a simple and skimpy deerskin bikini -- that catapulted her to sex symbol status.

From there, Welch's profile blew up, and she was one of the most sought-after female stars throughout the '60s and '70s ... taking home plenty of hardware in the process, including a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture Actress in a Musical or Comedy for her 1974 role in "The Three Musketeers."

Welch was named one of the "100 Sexiest Stars in Film History" in an issue of Empire magazine in 1995 ... and was ranked #3 in Playboy's "100 Sexiest Stars of the 20th Century."

She also appeared on "The Cher Show" in 1975 and performed "I'm a Woman" with Cher.

Raquel was married 4 times throughout her life -- James Welch ('59-'64), Patrick Curtis ('67-'72), Andre Weinfeld ('80-'90) and Richard Palmer ('99-'04) -- with 2 kids, Tahnee and Damon Welch.

Raquel was 82.

Super Bowl Sunday is finally here ... but before we get to the big game and Rihanna's must-see halftime show, let's meet the wives and girlfriends of the athletes taking the field!!

Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes' wife, Brittany, is making her third trip to the Super Bowl ... but this time, their 1-year-old daughter and newborn son will be tagging along to check out the action.

Even though Shane Buechele won't be starting over Mahomes, the backup quarterback's wife, Paige Lorenn, still deserves a big shout-out.

We're sure Orlando Brown Jr.'s fashion influencer GF Holly Luyah, will be dressin' fancy for the big game ... as well as Juan Thornhill's new fiancée, Reagan Elizabeth.

"Fly, Eagles Fly" is something we expect Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts' girlfriend, Bry Burrows, to be yelling when her bae takes the field ... alongside Kelsey Holmer, who hopes her man Lane Johnson protects the QB from the Chiefs defense.

Speaking of defense, Ndamukong Suh's wife, Katya, is gonna be stoked that her man is in his second Super Bowl ... just like Fletcher Cox, whose lady, Kaycee Marchetti, will get her usual pregame smooches.

Tom Brady clearly ain't letting himself go in retirement ... the former quarterback just shared a selfie in nothing but his undies -- and he looks GOOOOOOOD!!!!

TB12 posted the pic early Monday morning on his Twitter page ... paying off a bet he made with his clothing company way back in June.

At the time, he said he'd recreate models wearing his Brady brand underwear if the tweet got 40,000 likes. When the co. reminded him of it all Monday, he paid it off in a big way ... and we're all grateful for it.

Tom showed off some biceps, some pecs, and a set of abs -- all while his hand was conveniently placed to cover up his junk.

He mentioned Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski while revealing the pic -- asking the two, who have posed often in their undies for various brands in their lifetimes, if he was doing it right.

Of course, Tom's bod shouldn't exactly surprise anybody -- while he's a retired man now, it's only been a couple weeks since he left football.

It's that time of year to pair the changing weather with a revealing sweater, so you already know the celebs are taking matters into their own hands and have never looked better! Can you say 'more skin for the win?!'

These sexy stars aren't just slaying in sweaters ... you've got hoodies, knits and cardigans oh my! From Kim Kardashian to Ashley Graham, there's a bundle of babes cozying up just enough to keep you on your toes!

Kylie Jenner seems to have no problem adjusting to life post-Travis Scott ... living it up and looking smokin' hot while on a recent vacation.

Check out the pics ... the 25-year-old was down in Turks and Caicos with some friends and made good use of a hose while she sprayed the sand off her feet after a day of relaxing in the sun.

Kylie's looking as good as ever, dressed in a pink bikini as she laid out on a reclining beach chair, sipping some sort of drink in the process.

Remember, Kylie and Travis recently split -- though it appears the two are still cordial -- coming together this past week to celebrate their kids' birthdays. The former couple's daughter, Stormi, turned 5 and their son, Aire, celebrated turning 1.

The separate birthday parties came with some controversy though, some fans thought the massive blow-up heads used as decoration were insulting to the victims from Astroworld -- as Travis used the blow-up head imagery to promote his album of the same name.

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott may well be dunzo, but she's keeping her wits about herself -- heading down to the Caribbean for a little R&R ... and a lot of made-ya-look.

The beauty mogul was down in Turks and Caicos Sunday, where she hit the beach in a black two-piece bikini for what looks to be a solo outing where she caught rays and waves all at the same time ... and all for the camera's benefit, too, of course.

KJ walked up flaunting her toned physique, with a green wrap covering her lower body as she set up shop on the sand. Eventually, the makeshift skirt disappeared ... and her derriere was out in full view. A friendly reminder that she is, indeed, Kardashian-adjacent.

There's much to marvel at here ... a spray down in the shower, and then a dip in the ocean. There's even a nice shot of a tattoo she's got inked on her booty, which reads "sa-nə-tē" ... the phonetic pronunciation of "sanity." She's said it keeps her grounded.

Of course, Kylie hasn't really exposed her bod like this in quite a while -- not so out in the open, anyway. It makes one wonder if the split rumors about her and her baby daddy are true.

January may have had a nip to the air but the stars still managed to heat things up and set the stage for 2023 ... the month flooded social media with some thirst-quenching content!

Starting off the New Year right ... Stassi Karanikolaou flaunted her curves and dressed dripped to impress on the beach, while "Little Mermaid" star Halle Bailey showed off her tail-end above the sea ... and you best belieb Hailey Bieber took her booty to Thailand and was so not wrong in an itty bitty thong.

With winter and cold temperatures in full swing, celebrities are getting their real claim to flame by cozying up to the fire. And of course, they're putting their Hot Hollywood flare on each snap ... so gather around and see which stars are bringing the heat!

Kourtney Kardashian wore nothing but a furry blanket and curled up by her fireplace, while ex-housewife Lisa Rinna owned it like a true beauty in front of her fire, and Brooklyn Beckham posted up in front of the flame and enjoyed a glass of red wine ... looking fine!

It might be cold in Kansas City, but Gracie Hunt is on fire ... 'cause the Chiefs heiress showed support for her beloved team by sporting a bikini in the snow ahead of their big playoff game!!

Gracie -- daughter of K.C. Chiefs chairman and CEO Clark Hunt -- shared the steamy pics on Friday via Instagram ... a day before Kansas City faces the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Divisional Round at Arrowhead Stadium.

The 23-year-old was clearly enjoyin' the snow with her Chiefs-themed bathing suit on ... and considering the temps, she threw on some moon boots and a metallic jacket so she didn't freeze to death.

"Thinking warm thoughts and hoping for a Chiefs WIN!❤️‍🔥," Hunt said. "Who’s ready for game day?!🏈"

Of course, Hunt isn't camera shy -- she's been in several beauty pageants in the past ... and was named Miss Kansas USA in 2021. Gracie also finished in the top 15 in the Miss USA contest that same year.

FYI, it's supposed to rain and snow for the Jaguars-Chiefs playoff game, with temps in the 30s.

While most of the world is back on the grind and working on their resolutions, Hollywood's hottest celebrities just wanna have fun sun. That's right, the stars are hitting tropical beaches like it's their day job, giving them quite the sunny start to 2023.

Alessandra Ambrosio was a total beach babe under the Mexico sunset, and Bella Hadid has been soaking up the new year by reading and lounging beachside. And, as for the gents ... Toddy Smith was hyped AF consuming large doses of vitamin sea, and DJ Khaled opted for anotha' massage right on the Caribbean shore.

It's gettin' chilly out there, so it might be time to take a dip in the hot tub ... and that's exactly what these steamy stars did!

Kim Kardashian, Lindsey Shaw, Greer Grammer, and Kelly Gale are just a few of the celebs that took full advantage of the jacuzzi ... shinin' like a diamond while soaking it up!

Kylie Jenner and her bestie Yris Palmer donned their shades with their all-black bikinis, taking a quick dip in the hot tub.

"EastEnders" actress, Maisie Smith threw on a 2-piece before gettin' in the hot water -- but she still might've been cold, hence the furry hat and gloves.

Lizzo has a lot to say to the folks who won't stop talking about her figure ... she's tired of all the body shaming and says she's not here to fit anyone's beauty standards.

The singer just went on a long rant on social media, posting a video in a bikini where she sounds off on anyone and everyone who has something to say about her body.

Lizzo says she's tired of the discourse around bodies ... rattling off all the different things she hears about her own body. Her point -- no matter what she does, someone always has something to critique.

Remember ... Kanye West and Aries Spears trashed Lizzo's body last year, and she even responded to their comments during a show in Toronto.

Lizzo doesn't mention anyone by name in her rant, which has been her MO on this topic, but she addresses her haters, celebs and otherwise, calling them "delusional."

The way Lizzo sees it ... she's not here to conform to anyone's beauty standards, and she's going to do whatever she wants with her body, which she says is a work of art in itself.

Lizzo says folks are wasting effort commenting on all her Twitter posts ... and she proposes charging $5.99 for every comment on her tweet.

Fitness company Equinox is catchin' heat online after launching a day-long campaign to lock out newcomers, blasting that all too common New Year's resolution -- hit the gym, and then quickly give up.

Those looking to start 2023 off with a bang would've been met with a message to stop you in your tracks ... that is, if you tried getting an Equinox membership -- because the company's "We Don't Speak January" campaign was plastered all over its site.

Equinox said it wasn't signing up new clients on January 1, calling the month a "fantasy delivered to your door in a pastel-colored box."

The company says life doesn't start at beginning of the year -- and neither does Equinox, apparently.

An interesting concept ... but one that was met with negativity online. One potential client called the campaign "super cringe and pointless," and another said, "I hate equinox for many reasons, but this is definitely a new low."

The point of the campaign was to drive dedication to the brand, according to Brian Collins -- who worked on the concept ... as a way to "snub short-term resolutions."

It's time to officially kiss 2022 goodbye ... so, here's a look at stars locking lips like there's no tomorrow.

Instagram star Isabela Matte was in pure bliss as she shared a smooch with her boo Luan Assis ... as was Maksim Chmerkovskiy, making out with his wife Peta Murgatroyd.

Simone Biles and her new football fiancé Jonathan Owens shared a warm kiss ... ditto Ben Platt and Noah Galvin, who got also got engaged this year.

Of course, Justin and Hailey Bieber didn't miss out on the PDA ... sealing her 26th birthday wish with a kiss.

Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell were really in the holiday spirit ... sharing one last smooch, under the lights💋

Mark Wahlberg is all sun, smiles and muscles this holiday season -- hitting the beach with his family in tow.

Mark and his wife, Rhea Durham, were spotted in Barbados this week getting a little rest and relaxation before hitting the water to cool off. The two seem to be recharging before 2023 -- and what better spot to do it than on the Caribbean island.

Always a health junkie, the 51-year-old recently revealed he's altered his workout routine ... now waking up at 2:30 in the morning instead of 3:30 to complete his daily exercise.
