Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix are avoiding making any eye contact these days, according to him ... which is obviously a challenge considering they're still living together.

TS was leaving the Ziggy Hotel in West Hollywood Thursday night, and pressed on the rumors he and Ariana can barely stomach to look at each other anymore ... and the guy ain't denying it.

The photog brings up a good point -- how the hell is that possible when they're still living under the same roof? Tom's response is sure to drop a few jaws.

TMZ broke the story, Ariana's refusing to film any "Vanderpump Rules" scenes with Tom this season ... and the closest they've gotten to each other on-camera was at SUR last month when the whole cast arrived -- but the 2 made sure to avoid direct convo.

BTW, Tom's also asked about Nick Viall's claims that he snuck photos of Rachel Leviss onto the set of 'Special Forces.' Sounds like that was true, too ... but he's shooting down the idea that he ever showed off the pics proudly.

MAGICAL RIDE

Magic Johnson's having the time of his life on his annual summer yacht vacation, gassing up the jet ski and hitting the beautiful Ionian Sea off the coast of Greece ... and boy, was he flyin'!

The NBA legend made his name on land, but turned into a bit of a water sports athlete on Thursday ... posting video -- wearing a life jacket (safety first) -- ripping around on a white and black jet ski.

You can see Johnson was all smiles as he sent it, full throttle, amidst the gorgeous scenery.

"I got my jet ski on for a few hours this morning in Myrtos Bay on Kefalonia Island, Greece," the 63-year-old said.

"There is no greater thrill for me than being out on the water and seeing some beautiful coastlines, especially in a country like Greece."

Johnson also surprised his wife, Cookie, and her friends with a photo shoot ... with the famous Flying Dresses Santorini.

"My wife Cookie looks absolutely STUNNING in her gold flying dress!" Johnson said.

Last month, Magic and his wife of nearly 32 years welcomed good friends Samuel L. Jackson and Judge Mathis, among others, on their 292-foot yacht.

And, the partying shows no signs of slowing down!

Tom Sandoval Snuck Pics of Rachel Onto 'Special Forces' Set

Tom Sandoval smuggled some contraband into the production of "Special Forces," according to Nick Viall ... but it wasn't snacks or booze -- it allegedly was photos of Rachel Leviss.

The "Bachelor" alum spilled the tea on Thursday's episode of his podcast, "The Viall Files" ... saying Tom, his fellow cast member on the upcoming season of the competition series, brought pics of him and Rachel onto set -- which Nick says was against the rules.

Nick told his guest, Sai De Silva, that there were certain things they couldn't bring during the rigorous training process, adding he would've loved to have brought photos of his fiancée Natalie Joy, but he couldn't.

What's more bizarre, Nick claims Tom was showing the pics of him and Rachel around to the rest of the cast. Nick notes the "Vanderpump Rules" star seemed to really care about Rachel, for what it's worth.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

TMZ broke the story about Tom and Rachel's affair in March, and we learned in June that he missed the beginning of filming for 'VPR's new season because he was shooting the FOX series in New Zealand.

In other words, folks on the show had plenty of time to know about his affair drama ... but Tom still showed off the pics like a badge of honor, according to Nick.

Season 2 of "Special Forces: World's Toughest Test" begins airing at the end of September ... Tom and Nick are up against folks like Blac Chyna, Tara Reid, and Jojo Siwa.

Reese Witherspoon Settles Divorce With Jim Toth

Reese Witherspoon has settled her divorce with her estranged husband, just four months after she first filed.

According to new court docs, obtained by TMZ, Reese and Jim Toth both signed a marital dissolution agreement ... and the exes also signed off on a parenting plan for their 10-year-old son.

The exact details aren't clear yet, but the agreement is typically presented to the judge, who then, routinely, signs off on it.

Remember ... Reese announced back in late March that she and Jim had decided to end their marriage after 12 years together ... and we were told the split was amicable.

Reese followed through a week after the announcement, officially filing for divorce and noting the two had a prenup in place.

The divorce never appeared to get nasty, at least not in public or in court docs, and now they seem ready to go their separate ways.

For Reese, this shuts the book on her second divorce ... she previously divorced Ryan Phillippe after a 9-year marriage.

Justin & Sophie Trudeau Canada's First Couple Splitting Up

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife, Sophie, are waving the white flag -- sans maple leaf -- putting an end to 18 years of marriage.

The now estranged first couple posted joint statements Wednesday, saying, "After many meaningful and difficult conversations, we have made the decision to separate."

They add, "We remain a close family with deep love and respect for each other and for everything we have built and will continue to build."

According to a statement from Justin's office, given to CBC, they've already "signed a legal separation agreement." His office added the family is going on vacation starting next week, and despite the split, they will still all be together on the trip.

Justin and Sophie tied the knot way back in 2005 and have 3 kids together -- 14-year-old Ella-Grace, 9-year-old Hadrien, and 15-year-old Xavier. Sophie's been an advocate for things like gender equality and mental health over the years while her husband's been in politics.

She also shared some snaps of herself with her new boo, comedy writer Robby Hoffman. They certainly make a cute couple ... Gabby captioned the post, "Told you I'm a girl's girl!" And yeah, she's been met with a ton of support ever since coming out.

Fans remember Gabby being a finalist on Clayton Echard's season of "The Bachelor," and came back to the reality series as the bachelorette for a new season -- alongside her co-runner-up, Rachel Recchia, which was a first for the show.

Gabby ended up choosing Erich Schwer and the 2 got engaged in May 2022, but they announced their breakup a few months later. She certainly was a fan favorite -- Gabby even got a spot on "Dancing with the Stars."

Congrats to Robby for accepting this rose!

Kylie & Timothée Still a Thing Despite Split Reports

Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet are still a couple, despite reports claiming the two have called it quits ... TMZ has learned.

If you missed it, a report popped up Wednesday claiming Kylie'd been "dumped" ... a story we're told couldn't be further from the truth.

We've spoken to multiple sources close to the couple who tell us just because Kylie and the "Wonka" star haven't been seen together in public doesn't mean they've split. Our sources say everything is cool between the two, they're still an item, and "any reports that say otherwise are false." One source warned fans, "not to believe everything they read."

Of course, things have been pretty secretive between Kylie and Timothée, with reports first popping up they were dating early April.

As we reported -- Kylie was spotted at Timothée's place when the rumors started, and the two grabbed tacos around the same time.

Since then, we haven't seen a whole lot of the two together ... so it's clear they just want to keep things on the DL and out of the spotlight while they continue to build their relationship.

JUST TALKIN'

Lil Meech is trying to save face after Summer Walker called him out, accusing him of flushing their relationship down the toilet -- he says the video of him allegedly visiting a sneaky link isn't what it seems.

A Houston-area DJ put Meech on blast Tuesday by posting the door cam vid of the "BMF" star visiting a woman NOT named Summer Walker, and it appears he stayed a while and got kinda comfy.

Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.

Well, Meech hopped on IG after the damning video began to spread to claim the woman was his cousin, and he was merely helping her with some grocery bags. We're gonna keep it a buck -- Meech seemed to be holding back laughter while offering his "groceries" explanation. Take that however you want.

For her part Summer was anything but amused after seeing the video and vented about the fizzled relationship, and her confusion over Meech's behavior.

She says Meech pursued her for years, and even played stepdaddy ... only to "embarrass" her.

The R&B singer's fended off previous cheating allegations involving Meech -- but she's made it clear she's done, and leaving it all in God's hands!!!

HANDFUL OF LOVE

It's clear P.J. Washington is lovin' the offseason ... the NBA player couldn't keep his hands off his fiancée during their steamy bae-cation in the Caribbean! 🔥

The power forward -- who last played for the Charlotte Hornets -- and soon-to-be wife Alisah Chanel hopped aboard a flight and went to Soufriere, St. Lucia, for some rest and relaxation ... even taking a spa-type mud bath outside in the forest.

Once the two got out (all muddy), Washington -- who proposed to Chanel in 2022 -- jumped on the opportunity to leave his handprint on Chanel's butt ... and he took full advantage, leaving his mark on both cheeks!

The print didn't last long ... the couple washed off under a massive waterfall.

It's good to see Washington and Chanel still goin' strong after all of his relationship drama over the last few years ... which all went back to his relationship with 31-year-old IG influencer and fitness model Brittany Renner, whom he had a baby with. PJ started dating Chanel shortly after their breakup.

Many criticized the 24-year-old for having a child with Chanel and poppin' the question so fast, but it seems like things are workin' out perfectly!

Enjoy bae-cation!

Jennifer Hudson Common is 'A Beautiful Man'! ... Addresses Dating Rumors

COMMON KNOWLEDGE
TMZ.com

Jennifer Hudson is sending some love Common's way ... saying he's quite the looker and, at least, strongly hinting all the speculation about them being an item is true.

We got Jennifer leaving Il Pastaio in Bev Hills Monday, and when we let her know the 2 of them make a damn cute couple, she didn't deny the love connection.

Here's the thing ... sources tell TMZ they've been together for months, but when we ask her to confirm, she's mostly mum about their relationship -- but check out the glowing compliment she gives the guy.

As we reported, Jennifer and Common first sparked dating rumors in February when they went to Nobu in Malibu together ... and they were spotted hanging out here and there in the months before.

We also got pics of them taking a stroll in a Chicago suburb in May -- total relationship vibes.

You'll recall, Common was dating Tiffany Haddish before Jennifer, but they split in 2021. While Common called the breakup "a mutual thing," Tiffany says that's BS -- saying he was drifting away before it ended.

But, everyone moves on, including Common ... and Jennifer sounds like she's damn happy about it.

Devin Booker Yacht Party With Bikini-Clad Girls ... Kendall Who?!?

Devin Booker appears to be moving on from Kendall Jenner just fine ... the NBA superstar was spotted partying on a yacht this week -- with a whole lot of bikini-clad girls.

The Phoenix Suns point guard was out on the big boat in Saint Tropez on Monday ... and his guests included some pals -- as well as a quartet of females.

Unclear if Booker -- who split with Kendall late in 2022 after a couple years of dating -- had any romantic interest in them ... though he appeared to be having a great time, regardless.

The 26-year-old and his group of friends initially got the party going on the ship -- before they cruised to shore on a dingy.

But, before touching sand, Booker dove in head first for a swim -- and his big smile showed the water temp was just fine. Eventually, he and the rest made it to land, where he gave some beachgoers a big wave.

Outside of NBA courts ... Devin hasn't been seen all that much since the Kendall breakup -- but it's clear he's doing all right as his ex has moved on with Bad Bunny.

In fact, Booker was seen over the weekend even sippin' some Cincoro Tequila with none other than Michael Jordan while kicking off his European vacation.

The NBA season is still a couple months away ... which means Devin's got plenty of time left to enjoy the offseason -- and the single life!!

Serena Williams, Alexis Ohanian We're Having Another Girl!!!

Serena Williams' daughter is about to get a lifelong doubles partner ... the tennis legend just revealed she and her hubby, Alexis Ohanian, are having another girl!!!

The couple made the announcement during a lavish party over the weekend ... that featured a prank cake, a dunk tank, and an epic light show.

Williams and Ohanian documented the entire fiesta in a sweet YouTube video -- which showed Serena had been secretly hoping for a second daughter the entire time.

Check out the footage from the bash ... a ton of guests showed up -- including Richard and Venus -- and, at first, they all thought they were going to learn the sex of the newest Ohanian with a cake.

But, Alexis colored it yellow to play a joke on Serena ... one which nearly resulted in her tossing the baked good right into his face!!

Shortly after, though, Alexis put on a light show for the big reveal ... and when "GIRL!" flickered bright in the sky, Serena, Olympia and the rest of the family went crazy.

"We're all so excited to meet you, Jellybean," Alexis said on Instagram after the reveal, "especially @olympiaohanian!"

The child won't be born for another few months ... but it's a good bet that it won't be long before she and Olympia are hitting the tennis courts just like Mom and Aunt!!!

Offset Tequila Was Talking for Me ... Cardi B Didn't Cheat On Me!!!

Offset is fessing up that his part in the recent public spat with Cardi B might have been the result of too much booze ... and he wants fans to know he's a member of the "happy wife, happy life" club.

If you remember, Offset insinuated Cardi cheated on him -- with someone famous at that -- but walked back those comments Monday as he discussed the public blow-up with Angela Yee.

Offset blamed Cardi's NYC upbringing for sparking his anger with her "pitbull mouth," but admits he was inebriated on tequila, and alluded to lying in the heat of the moment.

He claims deleting the social media post signified he wasn't telling the truth.

C'MON NOW

Cardi also denied Offset's claims in a fiery response, and the two eventually reconciled, most recently, dropping their latest duet ... a track aptly titled "Jealously."

Offset explained he and Cardi are still husband and wife even when the cameras aren't rolling, and social media trolls do have an effect on their marriage whether he likes it or not.

He says had Cardi actually cheated, not only would he be unable to overcome the betrayal ... he'd go after her side dude!!!

As for his own cheating, Offset blamed immaturity, and lean, for that bad decision in the past.

Offset and Cardi got hitched back in 2017, and have 2 kids together in addition to his other 3 from previous relationships ... and he says he's in it for the long haul!!!

It was another scorching hot summer weekend in the 'Bu, and Francia made it hotter ... leaving little to the imagination in a skimpy swimsuit that matched her sunglasses and hair.

Francia showed off her athleticism ... serving some aces and bouncing around in the sand.

The beach day capped off Francia's birthday week, which included an olive branch of sorts from Selena, who wished her well with a social media post after their recent falling out.

As we reported ... in the wake of Selena's birthday message, Francia followed her back on social media and told paparazzi there's no more beef between them.

Now that Francia's following Selena on Instagram, she's probably seen Selena's weekend thirst traps she posted from a boat ride.

Francia's easy on the eyes too ... and it seems we've got a friendly competition for who can do hot girl summer the best.

Kyle Richards Producing Documentary on Morgan Wade's Life

Now we know why Kyle Richards has been in Aspen at the same time as her good friend country star Morgan Wade ... Kyle's spreading her wings and producing a documentary on Morgan's life.

Morgan performed Sunday night at Belly Up in Aspen ... and everyone in the audience signed releases allowing the footage shot to be used in a production.

We've learned the production puts the spotlight on Morgan's life ... the highs and lows -- from her rise to stardom to overcoming substance abuse. It also focuses on the 28-year-old cancer issues -- she has a gene that makes her at high risk for ovarian and breast cancer. She'll be getting a double mastectomy in November -- presumably the doc will chronicle that journey.

Kyle is not only the executive producer of the doc, she appears on camera as well. And, Kyle was actually shooting footage of the concert during Sunday's show.

54-year-old Kyle is venturing into new territory, producing and whatnot. Congrats!

Britney Spears K-Fed Moving Kids To Hawaii ... No Reunion With Mom

Britney Spears won't see her kids before they leave the mainland ... the boys are all set to move to Hawaii with her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, without saying bye to their mother.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Britney and Kevin's two boys, Jayden James and Sean Preston, are moving to Hawaii Tuesday with K-Fed and his wife, Victoria.

Britney hasn't seen her kids in well over a year, and we're told that's not going to change before Kevin moves the boys out of California, where their mother lives.

TMZ broke the story ... Kevin was encouraging the boys to see Britney before they left, but he wasn't going to force them to sit down with their mom if they weren't up for it.

Our sources say Kevin's relieved Britney didn't fight the move in court, and he feels she did the right thing by allowing the boys to relocate to Hawaii.

With the big move on the horizon, we're told Kevin and Victoria plan to rent a place on the island while they look for a permanent home.
