Relationships

Josh Hall's asking for privacy while navigating his divorce ... saying he won't badmouth anyone -- though he's making it clear he didn't wanna split from Christina Haack.

The reality television star took to Instagram Friday to address his divorce from CH ... telling his followers he's not the kinda dude to talk crap about his ex for thousands of his followers to see.

That said, Josh wants everyone to know he didn't ask for the divorce -- something sources close to him told us recently -- but, now they need to deal with it privately.

Larsa Pippen is not sweating Marcus Jordan's new arm candy ... and she's moving on with her dating life too ... namely, with a reality TV star.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Larsa doesn't care her ex-boyfriend is on vacation with an IG model, because she's also casually dating someone herself ... Netflix/MTV star and country musician Zay Wilson.

In fact, Zay performed at Larsa's 50th birthday bash a few weeks ago ... and TMZ obtained video of them dancing together.

Jennifer Lopez might be on the outs with Ben Affleck -- but she's staying married to her engagement ring ... swapping it to the opposite side of her body.

The singer-songwriter stepped out in NYC Thursday at "Cats: The Jellicle Ball" ... and, eagle-eyed fans will notice she's still got her big ol' green rock ring on -- but on the wrong hand!

Check out the pics ... J Lo's rocking a floral-print dress and a red purse -- and there's the huge, glimmering band with the giant emerald gemstone perched on her right ring finger ... which is the ring Ben gave her to pop the question.

F1 superstar George Russell isn't letting his recent disqualification from the Belgian Grand Prix get to him ... as he's been enjoying some quality R&R time with his stunning girlfriend, Carmen Montero.

The 26-year-old took to social media to show how he's spending his time after having his win taken away after his car came in underweight at the Belgian Grand Prix ... which led to a devastating disqualification after the checkered flag.

After leaving Belgium, the couple hit the Island of Mallorca -- located off the coast of Spain. Russell indicated he'll enjoy his summer break from the sport, captioning his photo, "Out of office for a bit."

Britney Spears is sliding back into an old relationship ... hanging with Paul Soliz again -- and, her loved ones are worried about how quickly she's seemingly run back into his arms.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Spears' friends and family -- including her brother Bryan, we're told -- are confused and concerned she's already hanging with PS again just weeks after the two split up under rocky circumstances.

We're told Britney let everyone around her know at the time that she was finished with Paul ... going as far as telling her gate guards to take him off the guest list for good. So, naturally, the chummy lunch in Malibu earlier this week raised some alarm bells in her circle.

Cardi B's divorce filing from Offset just got a lot more interesting -- 'cause we know now she wants her estranged hubby to cough up child support ... including for their third baby.

TMZ has obtained the divorce docs -- and they spell it out clear as day ... noting the couple is expecting their third child together ... and not just that, but Cardi is demanding Offset help pay support for their three kids.

As we told you ... she's also seeking primary custody of the children -- something that's also confirmed in the divorce filing here. In terms of why they're splitting ... Cardi is citing irreconcilable differences, with no chance of patching things up.

8:10 AM PT -- While Christina Haack clearly thought Josh Hall was making a reference to her and their ongoing divorce, we now know that's not the case ... 'cause he was getting at something else entirely.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Josh was actually visiting a cop friend of his, who's terminally ill -- and he's being treated at a cancer treatment facility called City of Hope. Our sources say Josh dropped the blue heart to show solidarity with law enforcement.

In other words, this had nothing to do with Christina -- even though she clearly took it that way.

DJ Envy is still rooting for Cardi B and Offset's marriage -- even hours after the "Bodak Yellow" rapper filed for divorce ... and he's even got advice on how to make it work.

We got the 'Breakfast Club' co-host in NYC Thursday -- and he tells TMZ Hip Hop he has relationships with both Cardi and Offset ... and thinks they're both genuinely good people, even if they have some kinks to work out between them.

Of course, he's reacting to Cardi setting the internet ablaze -- not only announcing her divorce but the fact she's pregnant with a new baby ... and DJE has thoughts.

Cardi B created a firestorm with the whirlwind news of her divorce and pregnancy -- but a new song that's out aimed at her soon-to-be-ex-husband Offset has people buzzing too ... even though it's really much ado about nothin'.

Here's the deal ... right on the heels of Cardi's divorce news, a song surfaced on YouTube that was being attributed to Cardi -- and it was being advertised as a diss song at Offset ... which was titled 'Tia Kemp (It's Over)' ... and it sure sounds like Cardi rapping on the beat.

There's a pic of Rick Ross' ex Tia Kemp on the album art for this -- which had people confused as to whether this was actually Cardi crapping on her estranged hubby. Well, as it turns out ... we know that's not the case.

Cardi B is having another baby -- something she just announced online ... this hours after she filed for divorce from Offset.

The rapper broke the news Thursday -- posting a photo of herself and her exposed belly on IG, and added a lengthy caption that read ... "With every ending comes a new beginning! I am so grateful to have shared this season with you, you have brought me more love, more life and most of all renewed my power! Reminded me that I can have it all!"

She adds, "You’ve reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love, and my passion! I love you so much and can not wait for you to witness what you helped me accomplish, what you pushed me to do! It’s so much easier taking life’s twists, turns and test laying down, but you, your brother and your sister have shown me why it’s worth it to push through!"

Cardi B is pulling the plug on her marriage -- again -- filing for divorce from Offset ... TMZ has confirmed.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ, the split has nothing to do with cheating. We're told this "is a long time in coming" -- the 2 have been growing apart for a long time. As one source put it, "They're just disconnected from each other."

We're told if you look back at Cardi's posts from December, she said, "You know when you just out grow relationships ... I'm tired of protecting peoples feelings ... I GOTTA PUT MYSELF FIRST!"

Cardi B didn't want anyone to see what's going on with her this week ... 'cause her team was in the midst of a major cover-up while out in NYC ... and we mean that literally!

TMZ obtained photos of the rapper Wednesday out in New York City ... and as you can see, something was going on with her and her crew -- 'cause a bunch of them were trying to hide her behind umbrellas.

Cardi stepped out on 34th and Broadway in broad daylight -- dressed in baggy clothes -- and her team literally formed a human barrier around her ... but look closely at the photos, she's not entirely covered up.

Rising country star Megan Moroney is speaking out about Morgan Wallen dating rumors for the first time -- this two years after they first hit the fan ... and she says it wasn't serious.

Megan spilled the tea on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast Wednesday ... saying she and Morgan were never in an exclusive relationship -- and they were basically just banging after meeting in 2020 before the pandemic hit.

As for keeping their fleeting fling hush-hush at the time, Megan chalked it up to Morgan's super private nature ... and it sounds like MM herself is pretty low-key too.

Britney Spears might be doing a classic relationship backslide ... 'cause she's hanging out with her ex Paul Soliz -- just weeks after saying she's washing her hands of the guy.

The pop star hit up the world-famous SoHo House in Malibu Tuesday, where she appeared to enjoy an outing with Paul and his family. She attempted to keep a low profile, as she wore an oversized sunhat and sunglasses for the visit ... but stood out like a sore thumb.

Paul and Britney kept their distance outside the celebrity hotspot ... sticking to opposite sides of the sidewalk. In fact, no sign of PDA was seen between the on-again, off-again couple -- so technically, this could well just be a friendly outing.

Selena Gomez is totally over her "It Girl" days ... spilling that the 2010s were her lowest point -- right when she was with Justin Bieber.

The actress dropped the bombshell when a fan posted a throwback TikTok video of her, backed by Bieber's "Company" ... captioning it, "I know and so do you that at the time she would never have gotten engaged to Benny [Blanco], she was in her IT GIRL era.."

Just FYI, Selena ain't engaged to Benny ... but she ignored that part to make it clear appearances could be deceiving ... commenting underneath, "Kinda makes me laugh because I was so depressed back then lol."

Jax Taylor is taking time for himself and seeking in-patient treatment for mental health struggles -- this amid his ongoing split from his wife Brittany Cartwright ... TMZ has learned.

A rep for "The Valley" star and "Vanderpump Rules" alum tells us … "Jax has always been candid about his mental health struggles, especially during the past few months on his podcast."

They add ... "He has made the decision to seek in-patient treatment. This is a particularly sensitive time for him and his family. They ask for privacy and respect until he is ready to speak more on this matter."
