Yolanda Hadid is going all-in with her cowboy boo, Joseph Jingoli -- they’re officially engaged and ready to giddy-up into forever!

The cat’s out of the bag thanks to an Architectural Digest profile of her Texas ranch, referring to Joseph as her fiancé ... and Yolanda later confirmed he popped the question in her native Holland 2 years earlier.

Yolanda met Joseph, a construction CEO, in Pennsylvania back in 2017, right after she moved there and bought a farm ... and he swept her off to a horse show in Fort Worth, Texas for their first date.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's divorce judge has a family connection to both of them, Alexis Bellino has a wedding to plan, and Tom Brady has some TV restrictions ... all this on today's TMZ TV Hot Takes.

First up on "TMZ Live," Harvey and Babcock break down the six degrees of separation between J Lo, Ben, Alex Rodriguez and the judge overseeing the Bennifer divorce.

It's been nearly 5 months since "The Real Housewives of Orange County" star Lauri Peterson announced the passing of her son, Josh Waring ... and TMZ has learned what caused his death.

California's Orange County Sheriff-Coroner Department tells TMZ ... the Bravo personality's late son died from the combined effects of fentanyl, methamphetamine and olanzapine -- with the death officially ruled "accidental."

Lauri hinted drugs may have played a factor in Josh's death when she disclosed his passing on Instagram back in April.

"The Real Housewives of Orange County" star Alexis Bellino should expect tension with Shannon Beador at the reunion ... 'cause she just agreed to marry her costar's ex.

The Bravo personality announced her happy news on Instagram late Wednesday evening, confirming her boyfriend, John Janssen, proposed.

Per Alexis, John popped the question while they were celebrating their 9-month dating anniversary ... which we didn't know was a thing, TBH.

Mauricio Umansky's clearly rebounding from his Netflix show getting the axe ... hitting a beach in Mexico with his new GF -- and going for a PDA-packed dip.

The reality television star hit a beach at One&Only Mandarina, Mexico ... a resort outside Puerto Vallarta -- stripping off his shirt and walking around the beach with Nikita Khan, clad in a bikini.

The two head for the shore, taking in the expanse of the Pacific Ocean before hopping in and going for a quick dip.

Teresa Giudice's future on "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" is up in the air ... despite reports suggesting otherwise.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... there is absolutely no truth to the claim Teresa has been asked to leave the Bravo hit.

The rumor picked up steam this week, after castmate Frank Catania suggested Tre's time on the show had come to an end. But we're told no casting decision has been made regarding season 15 ... let alone a call on whether to bring Teresa back.

3:51 PM PT -- Lisa Barlow tells TMZ ... her lawyers have notified her that this lawsuit was dismissed.

'RHOSLC' star Lisa Barlow and her husband are in the legal hot seat again, facing a new lawsuit from someone claiming they borrowed tons of money for her Vida Tequila company, but never paid it back.

According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, William M. McGeary claims John Barlow told McGeary's son Vida Tequila needed cash for raw materials to fulfill orders.

McGreary says he agreed to loan them $400K through his trust, and the terms were crystal clear -- the due date to pay the money back was December 27, 2023.

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann are desperate to sell their mansion ... 'cause they slashed the price again -- taking another quarter-million-dollar chunk off recently.

The embattled couple's Georgia home is still stuck on Zillow ... and, they took $250K off the price Wednesday -- two months after slicking $300K off asking. The house is now listed for $3.95 million.

We've followed the house price closely ... they lopped $500K off the price in December 2023, and then a cool mil in January -- so, the market for the impressive abode just ain't there. All told, they've dropped their asking price by more than $2 million since the first listing.

Luann De Lesseps has advice for Bravo's "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" reboot ... rip the cast apart at your own peril!

We caught up with "The Real Housewives of New York" alum in L.A. ... and, we had to ask her about 'RHONJ' going through a major reset -- just like 'RHONY' did when she was a cast member amid low ratings and racism accusations.

LDL, who's currently on tour with her 'Countess Cabaret', says producers need to keep some of the original cast members around to mix it up with the new cast ... creating a thorough line for the show instead of completely remaking it.

Andy Cohen says everyone's about to find out what he already knows ... Phaedra Parks is doing wonders for the new season of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" upon her return.

We got Andy in New York City and our photog asked him about Phaedra's triumphant return and Kenya Moore's messy exit -- and he's quite the hype man, 'cause he makes it sound like we're all in for a helluva treat.

Andy says he's super excited Phaedra is back in the fold for season 16 ... because she makes the show that much better. Unclear what that might translate to in the actual series, but it's a good tease of what's to come for sure.

Bethenny Frankel is popping off on the notion she's too old to rock a bikini ... by modeling an itty-bitty black two-piece for her millions of followers.

The 53-year-old 'Real Housewives of New York' alum took to Instagram Thursday, where she asked her fans if she should keep one specific bikini -- despite being a woman of a "certain age." Watch the vid, as BF's tone -- and, frankly, fit frame -- made it clear there was only one right answer.

She confidently asked ... "Am I popping tags or am I not popping tags?"

John Legend has a big gig coming up, Phaedra Parks is making a big comeback and Simone Biles is celebrating another big win ... all this on today's TMZ TV Hot Takes.

First up on "TMZ Live," Harvey and Charles have all the details on John's upcoming appearance at the Democratic National Convention.

Phaedra Parks is picking back up her peach ... 'cause the Bravo personality just announced her official return to "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" -- this amid Kenya Moore's exit.

The reality TV star -- who appeared on 'RHOA' seasons 3 through 9 -- took to Instagram on Monday to confirm her return to the Bravo hit.

In the new IG upload, Phaedra can be seen holding the show's iconic token -- a Georgia peach -- while dressed to the nines in front of a private plane. She added ... "You called. I answered 🍑#RHOA #S16"

Kroy Biermann is fuming, but this time it's not at Kim Zolciak -- he's pissed cops ticketed him over his dog escaping his yard, and new body cam footage shows him fighting tooth and nail to keep his cool.

TMZ obtained this video of Kroy's run-in with cops in late June outside the couple's Georgia home, where neighbors called authorities to report the Biermann's Cane Corso -- named Stone -- for getting out into the community and terrifying some folks on the streets.

As we first told you ... cops cited Troy for the dog getting loose, but now we're seeing exactly how he took the news when officers confronted him, and it's interesting.

Kathy Hilton caused a bit of a stir at a Los Angeles fashion show, bumping into a model as she walked the runway – and the embarrassing moment was caught on video.

The 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star attended Monday's event to support fellow cast member Sutton Stracke. Other 'RHOBH' stars were also in the crowd, namely Kyle Richards, Dorit Kemsley, Bozoma Saint John, Erika Jayne and her mom, Renee Chahoy.

Watch ... Kathy was standing on the runway chatting with Renee when the statuesque model struts up behind her and places a gentle hand on her back to guide her out of the way.
