Dating

Looks like Jussie Smollett's new flame -- "Queer Eye" star Karamo Brown -- was with him before we confirmed their romance was official ... and Karamo was already laying it on thick.

Jussie performed Saturday at Harlem Pride Parade ... and the person who announced him on stage was none other than Karamo himself!

Take a look at the video ... before Jussie's performance, Karamo introduces him, saying he's "a man that I respect, that I love deeply, that is extraordinary ... extremely handsome, talented, amazing."

You'd omit some of those words if you were just friends with someone ... but that clearly isn't the case for Karamo and Jussie.

With Ariana Grande's "Eternal Sunshine" era making headlines and a few nods to her exes during performances -- we dug up this oldie but goodie: Jai Brooks.

Jai was just 17 when he and Ariana started dating in 2012 before calling it quits for good in 2014.

Taylor Swift may be days away from marrying Travis Kelce ... but don't expect ex Joe Alwyn to be crying into his tea ... 'cause his romance with Sarah Pidgeon is heating up fast!

The pair soaked up London's scorching heatwave Monday, enjoying a picnic in the park -- and they looked completely wrapped up in each other, with Sarah leaning in for a long, romantic kiss.

Sarah looked totally at ease, breaking into a playful dance and lip-syncing along to a song while Joe watched, looking clearly smitten.

For a guy who famously kept things ultra-private during his romance with Taylor, this is some major PDA!!!

Heather Locklear may have Lorenzo Lamas smiling these days ... but first, he's trying to officially close the book on his current marriage.

The actor is apparently looking to wrap up his divorce from estranged wife Kenna Nicole Lamas as quickly as possible ... because TMZ has obtained new legal docs showing he's asking a judge to move forward by default after he says she failed to respond.

According to the filing submitted late last week, Lorenzo says he and Kenna don't have an agreement, but adds there are no assets or debts to divide up anyway. He also wants spousal support terminated for both sides.

Brooks Nader and Taron Egerton haven't broken up ... but that's because Brooks says they were never officially dating.

We got the model and actress Wednesday in Venice Beach in between scenes for the "Baywatch" reboot she's starring in ... and our photog asked her how things were going with the "Rocketman" star.

While Brooks and Taron were spotted going out for a couple dinners in Santa Monica a couple months ago ... it sounds like their spark didn't ignite like a rocket engine.

Brooks says she's single and ready to mingle with guys on fun dates, like she did with Taron ... though she makes it clear she's not dating him or anyone else, at least for now.

Heather Locklear's still got it ... looking beautiful and flashing a sunny smile while running errands with her boyfriend Lorenzo Lamas.

The two stars were spotted getting things done in Tinseltown on Tuesday ... with Heather decked out in a low-cut top and matching pants as she went to the bank and stopped by a nail place.

Heather's clearly still taking care of her bod -- even stretching while chatting with the front desk worker at the nail spot ... believe it or not she is 64, though you certainly can't tell from looking at her.

Bunnie XO says her divorce from Jelly Roll is bringing a ton of suitors out of the woodwork ... but she's not interested in them one bit.

The podcast host and social media personality shared a clip describing what it's like to open her DMs these days ... pretending to be a mix of men with a series of hilarious filters.

Bunnie jokes she's got dudes of all shapes, sizes, and personality types trying to get in her pants ... and she's waving them all off ... with an appalled look on her face.

Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi are taking their relationship Down Under ... jetting off to Australia a few days before his birthday.

The model and "Euphoria" star were spotted Wednesday in Byron Bay ... walking a dog and standing out in bright blue and yellow jackets.

Jacob grew up in Brisbane ... so it looks like he's showing Kendall around the motherland.

Sophie Rain might be blowing the dust off that V-card ... 'cause she and notorious playboy Clavicular are going on a date after hanging out as friends.

Sources close to Sophie tell TMZ ... the two major influencers just happened to be in Paris at the same time this week ... and had so much fun chilling on their livestreams they agreed to go on a legit date when they're back in the US.

Haters will say they're just clout-chasing -- which they've both turned into a master craft -- but we're told they legit dig one another.

It's an interesting development on a lot of levels ... and we're not even talking about Sophie's virginity or Clav's playboy lifestyle. They actually had a recent beef because Clav was hating on OnlyFans models, including Sophie.

Bunnie XO is addressing speculation about her and Jelly Roll's dating life amid their shocking divorce ... and she says lots of folks have no clue what's going on.

Bunnie responded to online chatter about her and Nickelback front man Chad Kroeger on Thursday's episode of the "Dumb Blonde" podcast ... saying there's not an ounce of truth to rumors they are dating.

The chatter spread across the internet earlier this week after she posted a TikTok of herself singing along to the band's 2001 breakup hit "How You Remind Me" and jabbed Jelly in the comments ... but she explains she's simply a fan of the band -- which is well documented.

Jelly Roll is already dating following his split from Bunnie XO ... at least according to Bunnie herself.

The podcast host opened up about the divorce on Thursday's episode, revealing that Jelly Roll is ready to date and has already started seeing people.

Far from being upset about it, Bunnie said she's happy for him and supports him getting back out there. She also encouraged interested women to shoot their shot, joking that Jelly Roll's Instagram direct messages are open.

Keke Palmer is doing little to cool down those Sean Evans romance rumors ... especially after serving up some seriously sizzling swimwear content.

Check out these snaps ... Keke is enjoying some precious downtime with a martini in hand, looking relaxed, confident, and completely unbothered while posing for a series of stunning bikini shots.

No word if "Hot Ones" host Sean was the one behind the camera here ... but whoever snapped the pics definitely knew how to work all her angles and find the perfect lighting.

Savannah Chrisley is pulling back the curtain on her latest romance ... and while her dad Todd Chrisley isn't exactly sold on one aspect of it, he's still giving the relationship his stamp of approval.

During a recent appearance on the "Whine Down with Jana Kramer" podcast, Savannah revealed her mystery boyfriend is significantly older than she is ... and when pressed about the size of the age difference, the reality TV star playfully said they're "up there" when it comes to the age gap.

The 28-year-old says her dad has mixed feelings about the age difference and isn't necessarily a huge fan.

Still, she says Todd genuinely likes her new boo ... and made it clear her boyfriend is still younger than her 57-year-old father.

Chris Tucker says he's been celibate for more than three years and is holding out for marriage ... a revelation he shared during a comedy set in Las Vegas … TMZ has learned.

The 'Rush Hour' star made the comments during a performance at The Wynn on Friday, where guests were required to lock up their phones before entering.

Sources who attended the show tell TMZ ... Tucker opened up about his love life, telling the crowd, “Well, I'm celibate. I've been celibate for 3 years, but I'm really trying to get married. I give it to the love this time.”
