Breakups

Joe Jonas knows when you’re as hot as Gigi Hadid you’re not single for long ... which would be a great reason for him to be so damn close to her in this pic -- but it might not be what it seems.

Newly single Gigi -- who just broke up with Cody Simpson -- was spotted hanging out with Joe in L.A. on Wednesday ... and cruising puppies in the window of Bark N' Bitches.

Normally, shopping for a joint pet is a sure sign of coupledom -- but a source close to Joe and Gigi tells us they're just longtime friends.

Then again ... you gotta start somewhere.

P.S. no puppy was purchased.

Sometimes breakups are for the best ... but not Draya Michele and Orlando Scandrick -- because according to Draya's "Basketball Wives" co-star ... they really did love each other.

We spoke with Brandi Maxiell about the conscious uncoupling -- and she broke it down this way .... "It's sad and unfortunate because I've been around them and they love each other so much."

As we previously reported, Draya had been dating the Dallas Cowboys star for about 2 years before they called it quits ... shocking considering they were just talking about marriage a few months ago.

Dallas Cowboys stud Orlando Scandrick is back on the market ... 'cause his relationship with "Basketball Wives" star Draya Michele is officially OVER!!!!

Draya broke the news on social media ... saying, "After more than two years together Orlando and I have mutually decided to end our relationship."

"Unfortunately, we both live very hectic lives making it difficult to spend the deserved time together. He is a great father and athlete and I will cherish the memories that we created."

Pretty shocking ... considering the two were talking about marriage just a few short months ago.

Story developing ...

Tyga is sure Blac Chyna's custody play has nothing to do with parenting and everything to do with the fact he is with Kylie Jenner, and not her.

Sources close to Tyga tell TMZ, he doesn't think his relationship with Kylie is any reflection on his ability to be a good dad ... and no one -- not even BC -- can legitimately question his parenting skills.

We're told Tyga believes any attempt to wrestle custody away from him is simply because he chose KJ over BC.

Our sources say Tyga thinks if anyone is questionable it's Blac Chyna, whom he claims cares more about twerking than raising their son.

The couple does not have a formal custody arrangement, but it seems they are headed for an all-out custody war.

Unfortunately for Mr. Brainwash life is not imitating art these days -- the eccentric graffiti artist famous for his “Life Is Beautiful” tag ... is in the middle of a divorce.

Mrs. Brainwash ... who actually goes by Debora Guetta ... cut bait on their almost 19 year marriage, citing irreconcilable differences in divorce docs filed last month. She says they separated on April 20.

Debora is requesting spousal support from Brainwash -- who starred in the 2010 Banksy doc, "Exit Through the Gift Shop." She also wants sole physical and joint legal custody of their 13-year-old son. She's cool with Brainwash having visitation.

As far as assets go -- no details in the docs, but keep in mind some of Brainwash's pieces sell for well over $100k ... so chances are there's some cash to split up.

The biggest tragedy here ... we still don't know who the hell Banksy is!

Tyga is about to do battle with his baby mama because we've learned Blac Chyna is now gunning for full custody of their son.

Sources connected with Blac Chyna tell us she hired a top divorce lawyer last week and will file legal docs asking for primary physical custody. She does not want 2-year-old King Cairo bouncing from home to home during the week because he's going to start preschool soon.

But Chyna's issues run deeper. She has a problem with Tyga because he's dating a minor, and she believes that shows bad judgment that translates into his parenting skills. Chyna also doesn't want Kylie Jenner to have substantial time around the kid because she believes Kylie lacks maturity.

She's willing to give Tyga weekend visitation, but that's it.

We've learned when Tyga and Blac Chyna separated, he initially wanted full custody but backed off and said he would share joint custody, but now the tables have turned.

And we're told Blac Chyna wants child support to cover housing expenses, food, clothing, nannies and school.

But Blac Chyna played a different tune Monday night when our photog asked about her relationship with Tyga ... downplaying any beef between them.

Gilbert Arenas has told the judge ... he DEFINITELY took back the $1 MILLION engagement ring he gave to his estranged wife Laura Govan in 2008 ... but he sure as hell didn't sell it behind her back.

The NBA star just filed new court docs in his legal war with Govan (the mother of his 4 kids) ... admitting they're on terrible terms ever since they broke up in 2014.

In fact, Arenas ADMITS he kicked her ass out of their L.A. mansion following the split ... and says he doesn't think he could EVER live with her again.

As for the ring, which Govan claimed he "forcefully" took from her and sold for cash in previous legal docs -- Arenas says it's only partly true.

In court docs obtained by TMZ Sports, Gilbert admits he took the ring and refused to give it back ... but says he NEVER tried to sell it. Instead, he says it's still in his possession.

Gilbert doesn't say much more about the split ... however, he does cop to treating Laura like a queen when they were together.

For example, Arenas says he once threw Laura a lavish and expensive 3 day birthday bash ... and on another occasion, rented a chopper to fly Laura and her mom to Santa Barbara for lunch at a winery.

Drake and Rihanna ended up at the same club Friday night, and it's apparent from the video there are no hard feelings between the two.

They each came separately to the VIP Room in NYC, saw each other and greeted each other warmly.

It's a brief encounter, but it's easy to see there's no bitterness. You'll recall the 2 had hooked up and it triggered a massive brawl between Drake's people and Chris' posse at W.i.P nightclub in the Big Apple.

Selena Gomez and Miranda Kerr came face-to-face and cheek-to-cheek ... and given their history, it could have been a tad AWWK-WARD.

Quick check of the scorecard -- Gomez and Kerr allegedly hooked up with each other's exes ... Justin Bieber and Orlando Bloom ... which allegedly led to Orlando taking a swing at Justin in Ibiza last summer. They all deny the allegations.

Now cut to Wednesday in Palm Springs where Miranda and Selena seemed totally cool with each other at a Louis Vuitton event. Sure, they could be faking it ... but we've seen them hang before -- at another LV gathering.

Hip-hop producer Mally Mall must be bored with love triangles -- the "Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood" star is breaking up with Nikki Mudarris again, but this time THREE other chicks are involved.

Mall and Nikki are known to be on-again/off-again (a recurring theme from Season 1) and their relationship status was set to OFF after a blowup over a Las Vegas fight weekend party.

According to our sources, the couple was supposed to host a Mayweather/Pacquiao party at a rented house in town, but Mally showed up with three chicks that weren't Nikki ... and she didn't show up at all.

Season 2 is just writing itself.

Katharine McPhee's estranged husband gave her a hand Tuesday ... a very gentle hand.

It's a stark contrast to her split with Nick Cokas, which allegedly came after Katharine was photographed sucking face with her "Smash" director Michael Morris. Katharine claimed in the documents she was already separated from Nick, but he says they were still together.

But things change ... or do they? A source close to Katharine insists Katharine and Nick had a friendly business breakfast in West Hollywood. He's still involved in her music stuff.

Selena Gomez must be exhausted ... 'cause the chick was running all through Justin Bieber's mind during Monday night's Met Gala -- at least that's how JB made it seem on the way out.

Justin and Selena have been broken up for months, but as he left the ball -- which Selena also attended -- Biebs went out of his way to throw out a line that was loaded down with bait for his ex-gf.

Watch ... he absolutely, almost desperately, wanted to make a point about SG's dress last night.

Word on the street is she just broke up with Zedd, so uhh ... never say never?

Then again ... Justin didn't seem to be losing sleep over her while partying with Leo DiCaprio at Rihanna's after-party. #TurnUp

Call it kismet, or karma, or whatever ... there's a chance Rachel Uchitel and Tiger Woods will go another round.

Rachel tells us she just broke up with baseball star Bret Boone, days after Tiger called it quits with Lindsey Vonn.

So the question ... does Mistress #1 still have a hankerin' for the golfer with a roving eye?

Sources close to Rachel say she told them, "We both loved each other very much," but adding, "It was humiliating and devastating to have to break up that way."

Now the opening ... Rachel says, "He would have to do some major apologizing to get back in my good graces, that's for sure."

No word from Tiger, but remember, when he was banging Rachel he was at the top of his game.

Sofia Vergara is ripping her ex-fiance Nick Loeb ... reminding him he had TWO chances to change the terms of their frozen embryo contract -- and didn't -- so he's got no one to blame but himself.

Sofia went on "The Howard Stern Show" Monday morning and laid out her position on the legal battle with Loeb ... explaining why she thinks the embryos should NOT be brought to term:

-- A baby needs loving parents who get along, and at this point Nick clearly "hates" her

-- Nick knew exactly what the fertility clinic's contract said about his rights

-- He signed that contract TWICE

Chalk up another loss for Tiger Woods ... this time, it's his girlfriend -- 'cause Lindsey Vonn just announced the couple has officially broken up.

The world champion skier broke the news on Facebook ... saying, "After nearly three years together, Tiger and I have mutually decided to end our relationship."

"I will always cherish the memories that we've created together. Unfortunately, we both lead incredibly hectic lives that force us to spend a majority of our time apart."

"I will always admire and respect Tiger. He and his beautiful family will always hold a special place in my heart."

Probably for the best ... since she just went on "Late Night with Seth Meyers" and admitted she hates golf.

Blac Chyna says Tyga didn't just text her out of the blue this week trying to get back with her ... she says he's been making that play for 7 months.

Sources connected with Blac Chyna tell TMZ ... the text -- in which he said "I want to be with u" -- was the last in a flurry of texts, conversations and private face-to-face meetings in which he made his play to reconcile their relationship.

Sources close to Chyna says she never believed he was physically with Kylie Jenner -- partly because she's 17, and partly because they were all neighbors and close to the Kardashian family. She says she believed Tyga when he called out the media for suggesting he was dating Kylie, but doesn't believe it anymore.

Blac Chyna posted Tyga's texts out of anger, but she claims she wants nothing to do with him anymore. It's complicated by the fact that they have a kid together.

As for Tyga, he has never said he's with Kylie and in the past has denied it ... but he's recently insinuated it, and even put it in writing.
