Breakups

Oscar-winning producer and entertainment exec Alan Ladd Jr., who’s backed films like “Braveheart” and “Chariots of Fire,” is ending his nearly 30-year marriage.

If the name Cindra Ladd sounds familiar, it’s because she’s one of many women who have come forward and accused Bill Cosby of sexual assault. Cindra had been working for film producer Ray Stark in NY when she met Cosby in '69 and claims he drugged and raped her.

Here's what's interesting ... Cindra and Alan married in 1985 and the date of separation on the legal docs is listed as March 14, 2015 ... two months after Cindra went public with her Bill Cosby story.

They have no minor children together. Alan was already a big-time producer when they got hitched, and had already served as Prez of Twentieth Century Fox.

11:52 AM PT -- TMZ Sports has obtained the divorce docs in which Scottie says the couple has a prenup in place.

Pippen also wants Larsa to receive child support for their 4 kids -- though the amount is yet to be determined.

11:32 AM PT -- Larsa Pippen has issued a statement through her rep saying:

"After careful consideration and 19 years together, Larsa and Scottie have each filed for dissolution of their marriage."

"Although they are no longer to be married, Larsa remains hopeful that she and Scottie will always do what is best for their 4 beautiful children and jointly raise them with love and respect."

"She would like to thank everyone for their understanding and kindly ask for privacy from the media during this difficult time of transition for her family."

It's over for Scottie and Larsa Pippen -- the NBA Hall of Famer has filed for divorce from the 'Real Housewives of Miami' star ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Scottie filed divorce docs in Florida earlier this week seeking to end the marriage, this according to court documents. The two have been married since 1997 and have 4 kids together.

Unclear what happened ... they were just seen together at NY Fashion Week in September where their 7-year-old daughter, Sophia, was modeling in a fashion show. At the time, both Scottie and Larsa were wearing their wedding rings.

Larsa is best friends with Kim Kardashian's family and is often featured on "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."

Story developing ...

Brad Pitt will not file a legal response to Angelina Jolie's divorce petition because it would set the stage for a nasty legal battle ... and he fears it would cause great psychological damage to their kids.

Brad's legal answer was supposed to be filed Wednesday, but the deadline came and went. Sources close to the case tell us ... Brad wants joint legal and physical custody, but if he actually filed papers it would draw the battle lines. Angelina wants sole physical custody, setting up a possible custody war.

Angelina could set the wheels in motion for a default judgment since Brad hasn't answered her petition, but we're told that is not going to happen. She agrees ... healing the family is the priority, not starting a war.

There's something else here at play. The L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services is still investigating the airplane confrontation between Brad and 15-year-old Maddox, and Brad will be in a much stronger position if DCFS closes the case before he files his answer.

Our sources also say there's a chance the whole divorce case could settle privately without any dueling divorce docs. And, we're told, on that goal both Angelina and Brad agree.

Two days after Tobey Maguire and his wife announced their separation ... Jennifer Meyer is way past the ole sitting at home crying into a glass of red wine stage.

We got Jennifer leaving La Scala in Bev Hills Thursday afternoon, and asked her about the single life, and how she and Tobey are getting along. As we told you ... they've actually been apart since June, even though they just went public with it.

Check out the clip -- it appears Jen's caught a case of post-breakup hotness ... and happiness.

Vanilla Ice's estranged wife wants to make a clean sweep in their divorce.

Laura Van Winkle wants to keep the Wellington, FL home she's been living in with their 18 and 16-year-old daughters and she's asking for child and spousal support ... according to the divorce petition, obtained by TMZ.

In the docs, Laura says she's down to share responsibility for their minor child. She wants Vanilla on the hook for her legal fees.

Sofia Richie bobbed and weaved her way around "dumb questions" Wednesday night -- specifically whether she's a homewrecker in the breakup of Tobey Maguire's marriage -- with an assist from new coach Paris Hilton.

We got Sofia and Paris at Catch where paps grilled the 18-year-old about rumors swirling in Hollywood that she and newly single Tobey are a thing. She got testy ... fast.

Eventually, coach Paris chirped up on the subject -- telling photogs to leave her protege alone. As Paris hints ... Sofia's young and single ... and Tobey's 41.

Brad Pitt had his first visit in more than a month with his 15-year-old son, Maddox ... since their confrontation last month on a private jet ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected with Angelina tell us the 2 met Wednesday afternoon with a therapist present. There had been a plan in place for Brad and Maddox to reunite a while back, but we're told the therapist felt the timing wasn't right.

The sources say Brad has had visits with his 5 other kids before Wednesday, but the face-to-face with Maddox is a turning point.

As we reported, Brad and Angelina agreed to a temporary custody plan which the L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services created, in which Angelina gets temporary physical custody and Brad gets visitation.

As we reported, DCFS is still investigating the airplane incident and the FBI questioned Angelina and the kids Tuesday in a fact-finding mission. Our law enforcement sources stress there is no FBI investigation ... just fact-finding.

Our Angelina sources say, even though she's headed to divorce court, she still wants their family to function with a fully involved father and mother.

Vanilla Ice's marriage is officially ice, ice baby -- his wife just filed for divorce after nearly 20 years together ... TMZ has learned.

Laura Van Winkle filed the docs Tuesday in Florida. They have 16 and 18-year-old daughters. Sources close to Ice tell us he and Laura have actually been separated for a few years now, and she's just making the split official.

The couple toughed it out after he was twice arrested for domestic battery ... in 2008 and 2001.

Unclear if Ice was blindsided by Laura's filing, but he seemed pretty chipper a few weeks ago when we got a Delta employee serenading him.

Tobey Maguire was getting super close to Sofia Richie in a club, and the pics were taken before he and wife Jennifer Meyer announced their separation ... but we've learned it's not what you think.

Sources connected to Tobey and Jen tell us, they've actually been separated since June. Tobey's taken advantage of his freedom and hit the clubs on a fairly regular basis with pal Leo DiCaprio.

These photos were taken at 1 OAK in WeHo on October 1.

Tobey Maguire and his jewelry designer wife, Jennifer Meyer, are calling it quits after 9 years of marriage.

The couple married in 2007 after dating for about 4 years. They have 2 kids ... 9-year-old Ruby and 7-year-old Otis.

They told People ... “After much soul searching and consideration we have made the decision to separate as a couple. As devoted parents, our first priority remains raising our children together with enduring love, respect and friendship.”

Their statement never mentions the big D. It's unclear if either has filed legal separation or divorce docs yet.

Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber may no longer be an item ... but that doesn't mean they've sworn each other off completely.

Liev was seen leaving Watts NYC apartment Saturday just a few weeks after the couple announced their 11-year relationship was donezo.

Uma Thurman's baby daddy doesn't deserve more visitation with their daughter -- because she says he's been a flaky father who has rarely seen the girl.

Sources connected to the case tell TMZ ... when she and ex-fiance Arpad Busson head to court in a few months, Uma will argue Arpad cancels his scheduled time to see their 4-year-old "7 times out of 10."

We're told Arpad is the one who's asking the judge for more time, but our sources say these are just "bullying tactics." Our sources say he gets a significant amount of custodial time currently, yet doesn't come close to taking advantage of it.

Sources say Uma wants to co-parent with Arpad, but only if the agreement is healthy for the whole family.

We're told when it comes to sharing custody, either she or a nanny has to take the child to London or the Bahamas, where he lives, because he won't take the time to pick her up.

On a separate note ... we're told Arpad wants Uma's engagement ring back. But she's gonna fight it because she claims it was gifted outright after the engagement was cancelled.

Robert Griffin III's estranged wife wants the Cleveland Browns QB to pay for the legal team she had to hire after he filed for divorce ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Rebecca Liddicoat -- who was married to RGIII for 3 years -- filed her response to his divorce petition in Texas last week.

In the docs, she doesn't go into specifics about child custody or shared property -- but denies everything he said in his petition, across the board.

Liddicoat also says Griffin should pay for her lawyers ... probably 'cause he was the breadwinner in the relationship.

R.L. says she needs attorneys to ensure she gets her share of their assets and a fair custody arrangement for their 1-year-old daughter.

RGIII officially pulled the plug on their marriage on Sept. 7th -- and has moved on with Florida State University athlete Grete Sadeiko.

Bradley Pierce, the little kid from "Jumanji," is splitting with his wife of 10 years.

Shari Pierce filed for divorce ... stating in legal docs the couple separated back in January. She wants joint legal custody of their 3 kids ... and also wants an even split of their Marriott timeshare.

Bradley tells TMZ ... he recently moved into a new home and is living separately from the family -- but everything's amicable. Much like the "Jumanji" franchise, he's starting fresh. Bradley's been dating someone for a few months -- so he's down with this reboot.

Sad news ... the NBA player who was called out on Instagram for allegedly cheating on his Playboy Playmate girlfriend ... has been dumped for good.

You remember the story ... 2014 Playmate of the Year Kennedy Summers put Utah Jazz center Jeff Withey on blast back in June when she found out he took someone else on a movie date behind her back.

Somehow, Jeff won her back and they got engaged the following month.

But now, their relationship has hit a roadblock once again -- with Kennedy calling the whole thing off ... citing "many issues." We're told jealousy was a factor.

In fact, Kennedy's rep, Zack Teperman, issued a statement saying social media played a huge role in the split.

"While it has its many pros, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc. can also create many issues within a relationship. The negative effects of social media have claimed yet another couple."

Kennedy -- a 3rd year medical student -- has already moved out of the couple's home.

So ... PLAYMATE AND NBA PLAYER ON THE MARKET!!!!

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been in the throes of settlement negotiations almost from the start ... but it got rocky early on when Brad pulled the plug ... sources familiar with the case tell TMZ.

Our sources say both sides wanted a quick end to what could become a contentious divorce. Jolie set the stage by asking for sole physical custody after Brad lunged and made contact with 15-year-old Maddox on a private jet.

We're told when TMZ broke the story about the incident in the air, Brad felt Angelina's people leaked the story and said he was done negotiating. But our sources say shortly thereafter, negotiations resumed.

We're told there are 4 elements to the settlement discussions:

-- Custody and visitation

-- Temporary support for Angelina and the kids

-- Permanent financial support

-- Property split

We're told the first 2 items are well on their way to resolution, with one big hitch. TMZ broke the story ... the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services is investigating the jet incident, and any settlement must conform to the eventual DCFS recommendations.

Our sources say the 3rd and 4th elements have not been resolved.
