Relationships

Not the best timing on Valentine's Day ... "Hot Ones" host Sean Evans and porn star Melissa Stratton broke up less than 24 hours after their relationship made headlines.

Sources close to Melissa tell TMZ … Sean called her up on Valentine's Day and broke up with her, telling her he wanted to call it quits because of the media attention they were getting.

We're told Sean expressed to Melissa he wanted to keep his love life more under wraps.

Our sources say Melissa found Sean's reasoning odd for a few reasons ... he knew what she did for a living when they started seeing each other and he invited her to multiple public events in Las Vegas leading up to the Super Bowl, and took photos with her.

TMZ was first to report on Sean and Melissa's relationship after she shared a series of photos with him at Super Bowl LVIII.

We broke the story Monday afternoon, and he broke up with her the following day.

Our sources say Sean was fine with Melissa posting photos of them from their Super Bowl adventures in Las Vegas ... another reason she was caught off guard here.

We're told Melissa is sad things are over because she believed they really did have a genuine spark ... but she has a hunch Sean was feeling pressure from his side once their relationship went public.

In a sign of the times, Sean and Melissa have both unfollowed each other on IG.

No fue un buen Día de San Valentín para el anfitrión de "Hot Ones" Sean Evans y la estrella porno Melissa Stratton. Rompieron menos de 24 horas después de que su relación llegara a los titulares.

Fuentes cercanas a Melissa le dicen a TMZ que Sean la llamó el Día de San Valentín y rompió con ella, diciéndole que quería dejarlo por la atención que estaba recibiendo de los medios.

Nos dicen que Sean le expresó a Melissa que quería mantener su vida amorosa en secreto.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que Melissa encontró el razonamiento de Sean extraño por varias razones, él sabía lo que hacía para ganarse la vida cuando empezaron a verse y él la invitó a varios eventos públicos en Las Vegas antes del Super Bowl y se tomó fotos con ella.

TMZ fue el primero en informar sobre la relación de Sean y Melissa después de que ella compartiera una serie de fotos con él en el Super Bowl LVIII.

Dimos la noticia el lunes por la tarde y él rompió con ella al día siguiente.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que Sean estaba bien con que Melissa publicara fotos de ellos de sus aventuras en el Super Bowl... otra razón por la que fue sorprendido con la guardia baja.

Nos dicen que Melissa está triste porque ella creía que realmente tenían algo especial, pero ella tiene la corazonada de que Sean se empezó a sentir presionado una vez que la relación se hizo pública.

En un signo de los tiempos, Sean y Melissa se han dejado de seguir en Insta.

Kanye West is firing back at Taylor Swift fans who are trying to block him from a top spot on the music charts ... telling them he's not an enemy, though not exactly a friend either.

Here's the deal ... Swifties are calling on other Swifties to buy and stream Beyoncé's new country music to block Kanye's new music from getting the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100.

Kanye's seen the "SWIFTIE EMERGENCY" on social media and now he's firing back ... and making some interesting counterpoints.

Ye says Swifties shouldn't be coming after him because, in his mind, he's been far more helpful than harmful to Taylor's career. Kanye's views in Wednesday's post jibe with what he's rapped about before ... namely, "I made that b**** famous."

Of course, T-Swift and Kanye have beefed ever since he crashed her 2009 VMA win to say Beyoncé had a better music video ... although, Ye is of the belief the longstanding drama has actually elevated Taylor's profile.

Here, Kanye also points out he was on Taylor's side when Scooter Braun bought her master recordings of which her dad reportedly made $15 million from ... and he says TayTay and Beyoncé are actually big inspirations to all musicians, including himself.

Kanye name-dropping Taylor on his new "Vultures" album seems to have opened up some wounds ... but he says the album is actually super positive and fun.

Johnny Depp has a new powerful, and allegedly dangerous, friend in Saudi Arabia Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman -- and their relationship's being described as a "bromance like no other."

The seemingly odd pairing is detailed in a new profile in Vanity Fair ... which claims Johnny is getting the royal treatment over in Saudi Arabia.

MBS hosted JD in the Saudi Kingdom for nearly 2 months last year, putting Johnny up in royal palaces and transporting him in helicopters, yachts and a private plane ... according to Vanity Fair.

Unsurprisingly, it sounds like money is a huge factor in this "bromance" ... Johnny's shooting movies in Saudi Arabia as he waits on a potential 7-figure deal to make him one of the nation's global cultural ambassadors.

MBS and the Saudis have been trying to buy their way into all sorts of global industries as part of MBS' grand plan to make people overlook his country's reported human rights abuses ... and the Crown Prince has been investing big in movies.

Johnny and MBS are said to have begun their friendship in July 2022 when Depp was shooting "Jeanne du Barry," a film bankrolled by the Saudis.

They've grown closer ever since, to the point where Johnny says he felt comfortable enough to ask MBS about the killing of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

The VF profile says MBS told Depp he didn't order Khashoggi's dismemberment, but took responsibility ... claiming he just wanted the reporter arrested because Khashoggi had become a rogue operative working to undermine the country.

Johnny definitely seems to be buying what MBS is selling in terms of a cultural revolution in Saudia Arabia.

Depp tells VF ... "Though I admit I was somewhat naïve at first to what was transpiring in the region, I’ve since experienced firsthand the cultural revolution that is happening there."

JD added, "I've had the opportunity to meet people from various parts of the region who have been most welcoming in sharing with me their culture, their traditions, and their stories."

Saudia Arabia is also financing Depp's next crack at directing a movie ... a biopic about Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani starring Al Pacino.

Hollywood sabe cómo celebrar y los famosos ya sintonizaron en su modo cupido para este Día de San Valentín, comprando rosas y chocolates y dejando surgir el romance.

El presentador de "Catfish" Nev Schulman está desnudando su amor por todos mientras luce abriendo una caja de bombones en la cama con su esposa Laura Perlongo. Los dos están en topless, así que se ve que están de humor.

Al igual que Nev y Laura, hay otras parejas que dan ganas de imitar como Alicia Keys y Swizz Beatz.  Mientras tanto, Victoria y David Beckham se están besuqueando en la playa con una hermosa puesta de sol de fondo. Romance en su máxima expresión.

No te olvides de las flores, Charlie Puth se aseguró de enviarle a su novia Brooke Sansone un hermoso ramo de rosas. Bien hecho, Charlie.

Los solteros también están compartiendo su amor. Sam Asghari, por ejemplo, todavía tiene sus rosas y chocolates y, por supuesto, hay un montón de reuniones Galentine's también.

Larsa Pippen y Marcus Jordan se están dando un tiempo... y la ruptura se produce después de algunos problemas personales, los cuales esperan solucionar pronto.

Fuentes directas le dicen a TMZ que Larsa y Marcus están cada uno por su cuenta en estos momentos debido a problemas de pareja. Larsa llegó a la conclusión el fin de semana de que tenían que darse un tiempo.

Larsa y Marcus fueron vistos juntos por primera vez en septiembre de 2022, y nos dicen que habían estado viviendo juntos y pasando 24 horas al día en compañía del otro, como nuestras fuentes dicen, era un noviazgo que iba viento en popa.

Ahora, ha habido una desaceleración importante, aunque nos dicen que Larsa y Marcus todavía se hablan y están tratando de arreglar los problemas.

El sexo parecía ser siempre algo importante para ellos, recordemos lo mucho que a Larsa le gustaba presumir de lo mucho que lo hacían. Por lo tanto, el problema no era por ese lado.

El hecho de que todavía se comunican llama la atención, como informamos, se dejaron de seguir en redes sociales y borraron todas las fotos en las que salían juntos de sus respectivas páginas.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que la ruptura no fue por una cosa en particular, en cambio, como todas las relaciones, nos dicen que Larsa y Marcus simplemente están pasando por una mala racha. Pero sabemos que están tratando de superarlo.

Recuerde, Larsa es 16 años mayor que Marcus, y Michael Jordan es ha sido muy abierto en decir que no aprueba su relación. El ex marido de Larsa es Scottie Pippen, pero nos dicen que nada de eso tuvo que ver con la ruptura.

Será interesante ver si Larsa y Marcus resuelven las cosas y vuelven a estar juntos. Nuestras fuentes dicen que podría pasar.

Hollywood knows how to do holidays ... and celebs are going all cupid for Valentine's Day ... breaking out the roses and chocolates, and pouring the romance on thick.

"Catfish" host Nev Schulman is baring his love for all ... opening a box of chocolates in bed with his wife Laura Perlongo ... they're both topless, so you know they're in the mood.

Like Nev and Laura, there's some serious #CoupleGoals vibes from Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz ... these lovebirds are catching flights and feelings.

Meanwhile, Victoria and David Beckham are smooching on the beach with a beautiful sunset background. Romance at its finest.

Don't forget the flowers ... Charlie Puth made sure to send his fiancée Brooke Sansone a beautiful rose bouquet. Nicely done, Charlie.

Single celebs are sharing the love too ... Sam Asghari's still got his roses and chocolates ... and of course, there's a bunch of Galentine's get-togethers too.

Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan are calling a timeout on their relationship ... and the split comes after some issues cropped up between them -- ones they're hoping to smooth out.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … Larsa and Marcus recently put a pause on dating while they work through a bump in the road, with Larsa coming to the conclusion over the weekend that they needed to call things off -- at least for the time being, anyway.

Larsa and Marcus were first spotted together in September 2022, and we're told they had been living together and spending 24 hours a day in each other's company ... as our sources put it, their courtship was moving 100 MPH.

Now, it's all grinding to a halt - or at the minimum, a major slow-down -- although we're told Larsa and Marcus are still talking to each other as they try to figure out how they can move forward romantically.

Sex seemed to always be a big deal for them ... remember, Larsa liked to brag about how much they were banging. So, on its face that wasn't the problem.

The fact they're still communicating is interesting ... as we reported, they unfollowed each other on social media and scrubbed pics of them together from their respective pages.

Now, our sources say the split wasn't caused by one specific thing ... instead, like all relationships, we're told Larsa and Marcus are simply in the middle of a rough patch. Something we know they're trying to get on the same page about ... trust.

Remember, Larsa is 16 years older than Marcus and Michael Jordan famously said he didn't approve of their relationship -- Larsa's ex-husband is Scottie Pippen -- but we're told none of that played a role in the split.

It will be interesting to see if Larsa and Marcus work things out and get back together somewhere down the line ... right now, our sources are suggesting that may happen.

No such thing as TMI for Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker ... 'cause they're letting us all know how special Valentine's Day was for them last year ... which ended with a baby.

KK shared a slew of IG snaps reminiscing on her Utah getaway with Trav in 2023 ... and while the pics seemed innocent enough, the Blink-182 drummer made it a point to tell fans that baby Rocky was conceived during that very trip.

"We made baby Rocky 🖤," Travis wrote in the comments -- but many fans weren't necessarily charmed ... urging him to keep their intimate deets to themselves.

While some were a little grossed out ... others acknowledged the admission was hardly surprising since there's no way Travis would be able to keep his hands off KK, considering how bangin' she looked in her teeny-weeny bikini. Plus, the timing of the birth makes sense.

It's no surprise they got it on and conceived a baby in this setting -- from the looks of it, the whole vibe was very lovey-dovey ... and perfect for doing it.

Safe to say, their relationship is rock solid ever since their 2022 marriage ... especially with little 3-month-old Rocky in the mix now.

They're clearly into reminiscing about their love fest -- and lord knows we've seen a lot of it over the years.

Kourt also shared insight into the lead-up to V-Day this year ... which was a joint family occasion with 6 heart-shaped cakes featuring names of both their kids.

No hay tal cosa como demasiada información para Kourtney Kardashian y Travis Barker, pues la pareja le está contando a todo el mundo lo especial que fue el pasado Día de San Valentín para ellos, tan especial que terminó con un bebé.

Kourtney compartió una serie de fotos en IG recordando su escapada a Utah con Travis en 2023 y aunque las fotos parecían bastante inocentes, el baterista de Blink-182 hizo un punto para decirle a los fans que el bebé Rocky fue concebido durante ese mismo viaje.

"Hicimos a baby Rocky 🖤", escribió Travis en los comentarios. Aunque los fans no estaban necesariamente encantados y les pidieron que guardaran los detalles íntimos para ellos.

Aunque algunos estaban un poco asqueados, otros reconocieron que la admisión no era de extrañar, ya que no hay manera de que Travis fuera capaz de mantener sus manos lejos de Kourtney, teniendo en cuenta lo guapa que se veía en su bikini teen-weeny. Además, el momento del nacimiento tiene sentido.

No es raro que concibieran a un bebé en este entorno, por lo que se ve, todo el ambiente parece muy amoroso y perfecto para hacerlo.

Es seguro decir que su relación está sólida como una roca desde su matrimonio en 2022, especialmente con el pequeño Rocky de 3 meses en la pandilla ahora.

Ellos claramente quieren rememorar su romántica celebración y Dios sabe que hemos visto un montón de ellas en los últimos años.

Kourt también compartió información sobre los preparativos para el Día V de este año: una reunión familiar con 6 pasteles en forma de corazón con los nombres de sus dos hijos.

It's clear to Jason Kelce that his brother, Travis, is completely smitten with Taylor Swift ... saying this week that the two are "people in love."

The Chiefs tight end's big bro slipped the comment in during the latest episode of "New Heights" ... while talking about the massive party everyone had following Kansas City's Super Bowl win on Sunday in Las Vegas.

Travis and Jason were laughing about how the elder Kelce lost his mind after discovering a Chiefs-colored luchador mask on a dance floor ... before they started talking about how hysterical it looked on him while they were at XS Nightclub.

Travis brought up one scene from the party in particular ... when he was with Swift on the side of the stage while Jason was in the DJ booth with Marshmello, waving his arms around like a mad man.

Travis couldn't stop giggling about it -- and that's when Jason dropped the L-word into the convo.

"On this side," Jason said of the now viral video of the situation, "two people in love and enjoying the moment together -- panning to a complete Neanderthal who is no longer connected with modern-day society."

Travis didn't remotely attempt to deny any of it ... chuckling through it all.

Of course, Jason is confirming what we had already known ... as hot mics caught Travis telling Taylor following the AFC Championship Game last month, "I love you."

La reunión de Tom Sandoval con Lisa Vanderpump se convirtió en un caos en la entrega del martes de "Vanderpump Rules", con un interrogatorio bastante tenso.

Recordemos que Tom fue arrestado por engañar a Ariana Madix con Rachel Leviss en marzo de 2023, con las cámaras rodando la nueva temporada unos meses más tarde y por lo que parece, en el momento de la filmación, que todavía estaba en el ojo de del huracán.

Los ánimos se caldearon cuando Lisa le preguntó a Tom por qué seguía viviendo con su ex Ariana en la casa que compartían... instándole a hacer lo caballeroso de mudarse, darle espacio a ella y vender el lugar. Tom no estuvo de acuerdo, diciendo que quería que Ariana le permitiera comprar su salida y agregó: "Uno de nosotros puede mantenerlo porque es una gran casa. He invertido mucho trabajo y dinero en ella".

Claramente no iba a cambiar de opinión, diciendo que ya le había enviado a Ariana una carta de intención y su agente de bienes raíces también había hablado con ella al respecto, pero hasta ahora, ella había guardado silencio.

Tom se puso nervioso cuando Lisa le preguntó si estaba haciendo lo posible para solucionar el escándalo que había creado en primer lugar, levantando la voz para dejar claro que él sabía que era responsable del lío, pero estaba haciendo todo lo posible por superarlo.

Sin embargo, a Lisa claramente no le gustó su tono, instándole a parar, tener algo de remordimiento y a dejar de estar enfadado... pero él dijo que su furia estaba justificada porque ella lo estaba atacando.

En cuanto a la posición de Tom con sus compañeros del show, parece que las cosas no estaban muy bien en ese frente tampoco. Criticó a todos por su mentalidad mafiosa... diciéndole a Lisa que cada vez que se disculpó no tuvo respuesta, y cuando lloró, lo acusaron de derramar lágrimas de cocodrilo.

Él le instó a ver las cosas desde su punto de vista, diciendo que no es exactamente vivir un estilo de vida de rockstar, añadiendo que ha luchado con pensamientos suicidas sobre las secuelas de la aventura.

Tom Sandoval's meet-up with Lisa Vanderpump descended into chaos on Tuesday's installment of "Vanderpump Rules" ... with her post-affair grilling not sitting well with him.

Remember, Tom was busted for cheating on Ariana Madix with Rachel Leviss in March 2023 ... with cameras rolling on the new season a few months later -- and by the looks of it, at the time of filming, he was still in the thick of it all.

Tempers flared as Lisa quizzed Tom on why he was still living with ex Ariana in their shared home ... urging him to do the gentlemanly thing of moving out, giving her space, and selling the pad. Tom wasn't having any of it, saying he wanted Ariana to let him buy her out instead, adding, "One of us can keep it because it is a great house. I put a lot of work and money into it."

There was clearly no changing his mind ... telling LVP he'd already sent AM a letter of intent and his real estate agent had also spoken to her about it ... but so far, there'd been radio silence from her.

Tom became more wound up when Lisa asked him if he was doing his best to move on from the scandal he'd created in the first ... raising his voice to get his point across that he knew he was responsible for the mess but was doing his best to navigate it.

Though, Lisa clearly didn't like his tone, urging him to stop, have some remorse, and stop being angry ... but he said his fury was warranted 'cause she was attacking him. Yikes.

As for where Tom stood with his VPR costars ... looks like things weren't great on that front either. He blasted them all for their mob mentality .. telling Lisa whenever he apologized, it fell on deaf ears ... and when he cried, they accused him of shedding crocodile tears.

He urged her to see things from his POV, saying he's not exactly living a rockstar lifestyle, ... adding he's battled with suicidal thoughts over the aftermath of the affair.

Ben Affleck tends to wear his emotions on his sleeves -- and he seemed to be doing exactly that at Jennifer Lopez's premiere ... where he looked a bit fired up while talking to his wifey.

The famous couple showed up in their designer duds to the Dolby Theater Tuesday night for J Lo's "This Is Me ... Now" flick/music video -- and everything seemed pretty hunky-dory at first. They posed for pics, smiled and went about their business like normal ... all smiles.

However, at some point while inside ... the mood appeared to change, and so did Ben's.

Check out this video, obtained by TMZ ... J Lo and Ben were having a private convo in the lobby of the large, crowded auditorium -- and it looks like the two of them were engaged in a pretty engrossing chat, at least from Ben's side anyway ... dude had a lot to say.

Hard to say what exactly he might've been communicating here -- you could say he looks a little annoyed, but he also just comes across as spirited. Jen, meanwhile, is totally chillin'.

Eventually, she turns away and talks with others ... while Ben continues to speak with a guy.

As for the movie experience itself ... everyone seemed to love it and was really into seeing J Lo's life story on the silver screen. The leading lady herself even got onstage and gave a speech, bringing herself to tears as she talked about producing the biopic, of sorts.

"This Is Me ... Now: A Love Story" will be released Friday on Amazon Prime, along with her new album by the same name.

Ben Affleck tiende a mostrar sus emociones muy abiertamente y ayer hizo exactamente lo mismo en el estreno de la nueva película de Jennifer López, donde parecía un poco encendido mientras hablaba con su esposa.

La famosa pareja apareció en el Dolby Theater el martes por la noche, vestidos con atuendos de diseñador, para el estreno de "This Is Me ... Now", de J Lo, y al principio todo parecía ir de maravilla. Ellos posaron para las fotos, sonrieron y se dedicaron a sus negocios como siempre: todo sonrisas.

Sin embargo, en algún momento mientras estaban en el interior, el estado de ánimo pareció cambiar un poco y también lo hizo el de Ben.

Echa un vistazo a este video obtenido por TMZ, J Lo y Ben estaban teniendo una conversación privada en el vestíbulo del auditorio, lleno de gente, y parece que los dos estaban comprometidos en una charla bastante absorbente, al menos desde el lado de Ben, pues el hombre tenía mucho que decir.

Es difícil saber exactamente lo que podría estar diciendo, se podría conjeturar que se ve un poco molesto, pero también aparece animado. Jen, mientras tanto, está totalmente relajada.

Finalmente, ella se aleja y habla con los demás mientras Ben sigue hablando con un chico.

En cuanto a la película en sí, a todo el mundo le pareció encantar y estaban realmente interesados en ver la historia de J Lo en la pantalla grande. La propia protagonista incluso subió al escenario y dio un discurso con el que se emocionó mientras hablaba de la producción de la película biográfica, o algo por el estilo.
