Kristin alluded to a change in child custody during an appearance on the "Aspire with Emma Grede" podcast ... revealing she has primary custody of her three kids with ex-husband Jay Cutler despite the original 50/50 arrangement.

While Kristin didn't dive into the reason for the change, it doesn't come as a huge surprise.

Kayla Nicole's not sitting at home and pining for her ex Travis Kelce after his wedding to Taylor Swift ... she's out living her life ... and showing off her gym bod to boot.

Taylor Lewan is setting the record straight on his Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding rejection ... letting everyone know he and Will Compton aren't actually pissed for getting snubbed, 'cause couples can invite "whoever the f*** they want" to their own ceremonies.

The "Bussin' With The Boys" boys have been quite vocal after the Madison Square Garden bash ... with Compton being the first to come out and say he was "flabbergasted" by the non-invite.

Lewan followed up by wondering if the guest list was a "personal shot" ... considering a ton of seemingly random celebs were there, but he was somehow overlooked after 10 years of friendship with the groom.

Conor McGregor's last fight was more than five years ago, but Max Holloway doesn't believe in ring rust ... 'cause he tells TMZ Sports he's preparing for a "dangerous" Mystic Mac at UFC 329 on Saturday.

Holloway and McGregor first met in the Octagon way back in 2013 -- a scrap Conor won via unanimous decision. Not only did Holloway think a rematch would've gotten made a lot sooner, he wasn't expecting it to happen with McGregor coming off a lengthy hiatus.

All that being said, Blessed told us he's happy to be the guy to welcome Conor back in the cage ... but that's where the pleasantries end -- 'cause he "can't wait to punch the guy in the face."

Sources familiar with the event's security tell TMZ ... the couple's strict no phone policy extended well beyond confiscating visible devices. We're told security personnel walked throughout the venue carrying scanners, checking for Meta smart glasses and any other hidden recording devices that could secretly capture photos or video from inside.

The heightened security measures track with what TMZ first reported, which was that the strict no phone policy extended to NYPD officers working inside the wedding, who were told to leave their devices behind or skip the assignment altogether.

Lena Dunham's not shying away from that reportedly NSFW toast she gave at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding.

She took to Instagram Sunday to seemingly acknowledge the commotion she made over the gay porn joke she may have made.

The "Girls" creator, who has been friends with Taylor since her notorious "1989" girl-squad era, shared some shots in what she wore to Tayvis' star-studded ceremony, captioning the carousel ... "Available going forward for weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs, and sweet sixteens (gay ones). I love both my husbands and I love love."

The waterworks were going around for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's big wedding celebration this past Friday ... and now we know what Taylor said that made her new husband break down in tears when the pair exchanged their vows!

The singer paid tribute to the character of the Kansas City Chiefs star before he was ever an NFL player ... saying even though he was the star athlete in high school, he would still go sit with the less-popular kids who were being bullied at lunchtime ... according to PEOPLE.

To add to the sentiment -- because after all, it's Taylor -- she also said she wishes she knew someone like that when she was in high school.

It turns out being buddies with Travis Kelce didn't guarantee an invite to the Taylor Swift wedding ... 'cause ex-NFL player Will Compton is "flabbergasted" he didn't make the cut.

The "Bussin' With the Boys" podcast host hopped on a call with Dave Portnoy on Monday's "Wake Up Barstool" ... and was asked why he wasn't at Madison Square Garden for the biggest marriage ceremony of the year.

Compton said he initially didn't think much of it when he found out he didn't score an invite ... but admitted the frustration came after he saw who DID.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour dancer Tori Evans apparently didn't get the memo about wearing white to someone else's wedding ... and the internet is letting her have it.

Check out the video and judge the wedding faux pas for yourself ... Evans showed off her look from Taylor and Travis Kelce's wedding in a new video ... rocking a dress that had some fans wondering if she was trying to blend in with the bridal party.

The dancer captioned the post with a nod to Taylor's "Blank Space," writing, "So it's going to be forever..." -- but the comments quickly became less about the song and more about the color of her dress.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce may have added a new member to the family ... because Swifties are convinced the newlyweds have quietly become dog parents.

The internet's latest obsession kicked into overdrive after a rumored photo hanging inside Madison Square Garden during their wedding appeared to show them cuddling a tiny white pup. Fans quickly connected it to resurfaced footage from earlier this year that showed a similar-looking fluffy dog hopping out of one of Taylor's vehicles ... and now the detective work is in full swing.

Nobody from Team Taylor or Team Travis has confirmed the furry family addition, and the photo with the pup itself isn't exactly crystal clear ... but that's done little to slow down the speculation.

Taylor Swift's bouquet toss has a winner ... and it stayed in the Chiefs family.

We've learned the lucky guest who walked away with Taylor's bouquet was Ashley Smith -- the older sister of Chiefs offensive lineman Trey Smith, one of Travis Kelce's longtime teammates and a two-time Super Bowl champion.

Ashley shared the happy moment on social media Sunday ... revealing she somehow wound up with the bouquet and joking that she's taking it as a sign of good luck in love. She also congratulated the newlyweds and celebrated what looked like one unforgettable night.
