Nia Long Getting $32k/Mo. In Child Support ... From Ex Ime Udoka

Nia Long just got what she wanted in her custody battle with Ime Udoka -- a judge made it so she'll get monthly support ... plus, a majority of the parenting time for their child.

The actress and NBA coach -- who split up in 2022 amid claims of infidelity -- came to terms in court Monday ... with a judge signing off on a custody agreement that hashes out who's paying who, and who their son will live with/spend most of his time with.

Per the docs, obtained by TMZ, it's actually Nia who'll be receiving monthly child support -- and even though the court said she might be entitled to upwards of $56k ... the 2 parents ended up landing on about half of that, with Ime agreeing to pay her $32,500/month.

The couple went through their financials -- as did the court -- and found Ime makes way more money coaching the Houston Rockets right now than Nia does ... noting he's got more than $400k in net monthly disposable income, whereas she's only got about $20k.

Now, in terms of custody ... they'll continue to share joint legal custody -- but Nia will get sole physical custody with reasonable visitation for Ime as time and scheduling permits.

They note in their docs that Ime is constantly traveling with the team, and this arrangement works better for everyone. Everything else pertaining to their kid, Kez, is pretty even-Steven.

Remember, Nia had filed for pretty much exactly this situation back in August -- and earlier this month, she and Ime had come to these exact terms in a settlement. Now, she's got it all in writing with a stamp of approval ... with the court entering the judgment, making it official.

On its face, it seems both parties are happy ... which is all you can ask for.

Guess Who This Sweet Baby Turned Into!

Before this California kiddo turned into a singer and actress, she was just diggin' into her birthday cake -- with the blue frosting on her face to prove it -- and kickstarting her acting career when she was just 10 years old!

You've seen her take the stage as a Barden Bella with Rebel Wilson, but she's also no stranger to voice acting ... ie: in the Spider-verse! But, when she's not working on her music or studying her scripts ... you may see her on the sidelines cheering on her team ... the Buffalo Bills.

Can you guess who she is?

Adivina en quién se ha convertido ¡este dulce bebé!

Antes de que esta niña californiana se convirtiera en cantante y actriz, ya estaba disfrutando de su tarta de cumpleaños, con el glaseado azul en la cara para demostrarlo y comenzando su carrera como actriz cuando solo tenía 10 años.

La has visto en el escenario como Bella Barden con Rebel Wilson, pero tampoco es ajena a la actuación de voz, es decir: ¡en el Spider-verso! Pero, cuando no está trabajando en su música o estudiando sus guiones, puede que la veas en la banda animando a su equipo... los Buffalo Bills.

¿Puedes adivinar quién es?

Ja Rule is excited to be an uncle once again -- through Ashanti and Nelly's pending bundle of joy, and he thinks parenthood will be a cinch for them.

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Ja Thursday in NYC, where he told us he's been tracking the news updates on his forever collaborator/friend just like everyone else.

SEAL THE DEAL!

Now, Ja stopped short of confirming the baby buzz is true -- but Ashanti and Nelly have, seemingly, leaned into the reports they're expecting their first child together.

They still won't say for sure, so much like Halle Bailey and DDG, we might just have to wait and see if the stork delivers.

Ja's had several youngins of his own, so, naturally, he had some advice for Ashanti and Nelly on how best to raise their little tyke ... assuming there's really one in the oven.

BTW, JR's also expecting -- not a tiny human, but the release of his first album in well over a decade.

He told us fans can expect a project reminiscent of "all" of his previous sounds.

Fact is, Ja's survived a few rap eras, so, let's hope it's not an overcrowded album!!!

Ja Rule No puedo esperar a conocer el bebé de Ashanti!!! Aquí hay un consejo...

Ja Rule está emocionado de ser tío de nuevo a través de Ashanti y Nelly, quienes posiblemente van a tener un bebé, y piensa que la paternidad se les dará súper bien.

TMZ Hip Hop se reunió con Ja el jueves en Nueva York, donde nos dijo que ha estado siguiendo las noticias de su colaborador y amigo de toda la vida como todo el mundo.

¡Sellando el acuerdo!

Ahora, Ja se detuvo en confirmar que el rumor del bebé es cierto. Ellos todavía no lo dicen con seguridad, por lo que al igual que Halle Bailey y DDG, puede que solo tengamos que esperar y ver si la cigüeña hace una entrega.

Ja ha tenido varios hijos, por lo que naturalmente tenía algunos consejos para Ashanti y Nelly sobre la mejor manera de criar a su pequeño, suponiendo que realmente hay uno.

Por cierto, Ja Rule también está esperando, pero no a un pequeño ser humano, sino el lanzamiento de su primer álbum en más de una década.

Nos dijo que los fans pueden esperar un proyecto que recuerda a "todos" sus sonidos anteriores.

Lo cierto es que Ja ha sobrevivido a unas cuantas eras del rap, así que, ¡¡¡esperemos que no sea un álbum saturado!!

David Tutera 'My Fair Wedding,' Now My Divorce Hubby Files to End It

David Tutera is famous for having planned celebrities' weddings over the years -- but now, he's gonna have to plan his divorce ... 'cause his husband's throwing in the towel.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Joey Toth just signaled in court that he wants a dissolution of his marriage -- citing irreconcilable differences ... and also listing the date of their separation as the same day he filed for divorce -- and that would be today.

There are a few things Joey wants right off the bat in his petition -- for starters, he wants David to be ordered to pay spousal support to him ... and for a judge to make it so David himself can't receive any alimony from Joey.

As far as their kids -- the couple shares two young children, aged 4 and 10 -- Joey has some thoughts on that too ... but on that front, he's more open to sharing. Joey is asking for joint legal and physical custody.

One last thing ... he's asking for is David being ordered to pay his attorney fees. The other interesting thing worth noting is the fact Joey actually filed for divorce from David in 2020 -- this after they got hitched in 2017 -- but he withdrew that at the time, per court records.

Sounds like things have gotten rocky again, 'cause he's pulling the plug officially.

Tough break for a guy whose whole life has been organizing people's happiest days. Better luck next time, we suppose ...

GET TO THERAPY ASAP
TMZ.com

Nick Cannon knows he's the posterchild of polygamy these days -- a role he's embracing with common sense jewels for everyone who follow in his footsteps ... including Zeddy Will.

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Nick in West Hollywood on Thursday and tickled him with the news of Zeddy, the 21-year-old TikTok star and rapper who just went viral for his 5-way baby shower ... and all the child's mothers were happily along for the ride.

Zeddy Will credited Nick for "redefining modern relationships" -- of course, the scenario and many like it mirror Nick's family tree of 12 children -- and Nick tells us inspiration is his forte... but also warned the young lad not to ignore his self-care.

He'll have 10 personalities to deal with -- the 5 new babies and their mothers!!!

Nick instructs ZW to stock up on sleep and also seek therapy ... sounds like sound advice ... he recently highlighted the frazzle dazzle of parenthood in his new chicken wings ad spot.

Who knows, maybe the two will collaborate down the line ... multi-platform hip hop content creators with multiple children ... there's still speculation Zeddy might be fakin' everything for a music video.

In any case, Nick's welcoming the young fella to dad life -- and is clearly warning ... it's a lot!

Giddey sigue bajo la lupa de la NBA después de que la policía le pusiera fin A la investigación sobre menores

Josh Giddey todavía está bajo el microscopio de su empleador, la investigación de la NBA respecto a si tuvo una relación inapropiada con un menor de edad sigue en curso, TMZ Sports ha indagado.

Las fuentes nos dicen que nada ha cambiado en lo que respecta a la Asociación a pesar de que la policía recientemente diera por finalizada la investigación sobre el jugador de 21 años de los Oklahoma City Thunder.

Como informamos anteriormente, el caso Giddey terminó después de que los funcionarios no encontraron pruebas suficientes, ya que la menor y su familia se negaron a hablar con los funcionarios.

"Después de un examen minucioso y exhaustivo, hemos completado nuestra investigación sobre la información que circulaba en las redes sociales que involucra a Josh Giddey", dijo la policía de Newport Beach en un comunicado.

"Nuestros detectives han revisado toda la información disponible y no pudieron corroborar ninguna actividad criminal relacionada con el señor Giddey".

Adam Silver dijo en diciembre que la liga estaría pendiente mientras la policía llevaba a cabo su investigación. Suena como que la NBA se está involucrando una vez más.

Giddey no ha hablado sobre el escándalo y se ha mantenido activo para los Thunder a lo largo de ambas investigaciones.

De hecho, se le preguntó sobre el caso el jueves por la mañana y se negó a comentar una vez más.

Josh Giddey Remains Under NBA Review ... After Police End Probe

Josh Giddey might be in the clear legally, but he is still under his employer's microscope -- the NBA's review into claims he had an improper relationship with a minor remains ongoing, TMZ Sports has learned.

Sources tell us nothing has changed as far as the Association is concerned ... despite Newport Beach PD recently closing its investigation without the 21-year-old Oklahoma City Thunder guard being charged.

As we previously reported, the Giddey case ended after officials found no corroborating evidence ... as the minor and her family declined to speak with officials.

"After a thorough and exhaustive examination, we have completed our investigation into information that was circulating on social media involving Josh Giddey," Newport Beach PD said in a statement.

"Our detectives have reviewed all of the available information and were unable to corroborate any criminal activity related to Mr. Giddey."

Adam Silver said in December the league would take a "backseat" while police conducted its investigation ... so with that being over, it sounds like the NBA is grabbing the wheel once again.

Giddey has not spoken on the scandal ... and has remained active for the Thunder throughout both investigations.

In fact, he was asked about the case being closed Thursday morning ... and declined to comment once again.

Zeddy Will I've Got 5 Women Pregnant ... It's the Cannon Blueprint!!!

Zeddy Will, the baby-faced rapper from the same hood as Nas and Mobb Deep who's been racking up millions of streams on TikTok, is facing a serious "Sister Wives" situation ... he's expecting 5 babies very soon!!!

The 22-year-old recently hosted a baby shower with all 5 of his baby mothers ... a shocking sight to many, but his team tells us they strongly believe he has the trajectory of a young Will Smith, and is mature enough to shoulder the responsibility.

Shawn Prez, Zeddy's co-manager, tells TMZ Hip Hop ... "Society has shifted, and in turn so has modern relationship dynamics. The essence lies in redefining relationships personally, breaking away from the one-size-fits-all approach and societal pressures to conform."

Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.

He adds, "Individuals should be allowed to craft relationships that align with their values, desires, boundaries, and aspirations ... Nick Cannon serves as a notable example of successful polyamory, highlighting that the definition of a relationship is a personal choice."

Of course, Nick's never shied away from his parental duties, and never has an issue jumping through hoops to see his kids ... which likely will become Zeddy's destiny soon enough.

Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.

One of the expectant moms, Lizzy Ash, also happily posted from the baby shower ... no one appears to be tripping, and in these times, their stories are bound to be spun into reality show gold.

The Queensbridge-bred rapper is also one to watch on the rap front -- 6 million TikTok followers and over a million monthly Spotify listeners ... his fans are locked in.

Adivina en quién se ha convertido ¡este niño rubio!

Antes de que este niño cool con camisa de col se convirtiera en actor y cantante, solo hacía versiones de canciones de Justin Timberlake y crecía en Queensland, Australia, con sus dos hermanos pequeños, uno de los cuales también está en la industria del entretenimiento.

En 2013, este cabeza de remolque se fue de gira por Europa con Justin Bieber, y solo un año después se aventuró desde Australia hasta Los Ángeles, donde compitió en la temporada 18 de "Dancing With The Stars".

Sus ojos están puestos en París 2024, y a juzgar por sus tiempos en la piscina, ¡sin duda haría que Australia se sintiera orgullosa!

¿Adivinas quién es?

Guess Who This Blonde Boy Turned Into!

Before this cool kid in his collard shirt turned into an actor and singer, he was just making Justin Timberlake song covers, and growing up in Queensland, Australia, with his two younger siblings -- one of which who's also in the entertainment industry.

In 2013, this towhead toured around Europe with Justin Bieber, and just one year later he ventured from Australia to Los Angeles where he competed on season 18 of "Dancing With The Stars".

His eyes are set on Paris 2024 and based on his pool times ... he would definitely make Australia proud!

Can you guess who he is?

Josh Duhamel has something new to celebrate ... he's a dad again!

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

As you probably know, Josh has another son, 10-year-old Axl, whom he shares with his ex-wife, Fergie.

In a September 2023 interview, Josh told Parade that Axl had a funny reaction when he learned he was going to be an older brother.

Axl wanted reassurance that he was still the firstborn and Josh was still going to love him after Shepherd was born.

Of course, Josh confirmed all of the above, adding that Axl is a "really sweet kid" and "loves babies!"

Sounds like Axl and Shepherd are gonna hit it off.

Congrats everyone!!!

Rick Ross New GF Posts His New Infant Daughter... 'Stranger Danger' Screams the BM!!!

Rick Ross' new two-month-old daughter subtlely made her IG debut this week -- only to have the spot blown up by the rap kingpin's new GF ... who might have overstepped her boundaries a bit.

Model Cierra Nichole made a post introducing their daughter Au’mei Moon Roberts ... with Rozay sharing in the congratulations for the bundle of joy by liking the news on Hollywood Unlocked.

All appeared to be well until Cristina Mackey -- Rozay's current gf -- reposted the pic, gushing over how beautiful the baby was.

Cierra didn't approve and let Cristina have it ... "stranger danger" never sounds good when it's hurled in your direction! BTW, Cristina seems to have gotten the message loud and clear, 'cause she deleted the baby post.

Now, Cristina's been spotted on RR's arm for weeks, and has quickly grown familiar to fans ... for rubbing them the wrong way with frequent posts of her lavish lifestyle, and she's even discussed their relationship in interviews.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

She's been catching a little heat for flaunting her lifestyle with Rick -- but her response to the haters is they'd be stupid not to post all the jet-setting and sightseeing they do.

Looks like she got checked, though on the baby boundaries.

Meanwhile, Rozay was just honored with the keys to his Miami hometown ... so he doesn't seem to be stressin' about any of it.
