'Stranger Things' Creator Ross Duffer's Wife Files For Divorce

"Stranger Things" creator Ross Duffer's movie director wife is dropping the curtain on their marriage … she just filed for divorce.
The Hollywood producer's writer/director spouse, Leigh Janiak, beelined it to court Friday and filed to divorce her husband after 9 years of marriage ... according to new legal docs obtained by TMZ.
In the docs, Leigh is going with the boilerplate "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split.
Ross and Leigh, famous for directing horror projects like "Honeymoon" and "The Fear Street Trilogy," tied the knot in January 2015 ... and she says the date of separation is TBD.
They first met way back in 2006 at a Los Angeles production company, where Leigh was an assistant to the producer and Ross was an intern.
There won't be any child custody or child support issues to hash out ... because they did not have any kids. Leigh is asking for spousal support.
Ross and his twin brother, Matt Duffer, are best known for writing, directing, and producing the Netflix hit series "Stranger Things." The twins also wrote and directed a 2015 horror flick, "Hidden."
We reached out to reps for Ross and Leigh ... so far no word back.

'Hot Ones' Host Sean Evans Ex Melissa Stratton Says She Got Dumped Over Porn

Sean Evans' ex, Melissa Stratton, says he dumped her once the world caught wind that he was dating a porn star -- something she says he was cool with at first ... but changed his mind later on.
We talked to the model/adult film actress Friday in L.A. just ahead of a podcast she was heading into at the No Jumper store -- more on that later -- and our photog chopped it up with her to get the story on what exactly happened between her and the "Hot Ones" host ... who's quite private.
According to Melissa ... things were going swimmingly between her and Sean for at least a couple months, and she says they were having a great time together as a new couple.
We even asked her about the Super Bowl -- where she was posting tons of pics of him that weekend -- and MS says they were actually going around introducing each other to friends at that point ... which makes the split all the more sucky, 'cause she says she liked him.
As for why things fell apart ... Melissa says her work in the porn biz was ultimately to blame -- and more specifically, how her being in that industry would affect his image.
The way she tells it ... he had a little bit of a flip-flop in opinion over whether he was actually okay with her past and current line of work. Melissa claims he was on board at the beginning -- but suggests that once their relationship fell into the public eye ... he got skittish, which she gets and has no hard feelings about.
Sean, of course, hasn't said crap about it all ... and his team hasn't gotten back to us either.
The good news for Melissa ... business has been booming for her, and she says she's happy about that. As for this pod she was heading into ... it's with Adam22, so that'll air soon.

Charles Melton Split with Chloe Bennet Last Year

Charles Melton is the toast of the town these days -- but if you've been noticing he's looking a little single during awards season, well ... that's because he's fresh off a breakup.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the actor -- who's been making the rounds over his performance in "May December" these past couple months -- is no longer dating Chloe Bennet ... whom he'd been with for much of 2023.
Their relationship was pretty low-key --- they weren't really spotted in public together all that much since hooking up in the Spring -- but now ... we're being told they're officially over.
Unclear when exactly things fell apart, but our sources tell us they quietly split at the end of last year -- which kinda aligns with the fact they haven't been seen with or around one another to kick off the new year. No word on who ended things ... sounds like it just fizzled out.
Chloe -- who's an actress herself -- was spotted out in January with "The Bear" star Lionel Boyce ... and them hanging out got some thinking they were a new item -- but we've been assured they're just good friends.
The last time Charles and Chloe were seen together was actually way back in August -- when they went to a Taylor Swift concert ... and were photographed strolling out side by side.
Before Charles, Chloe had famously dated Logan Paul ... and CM himself has been around the block too -- he's been linked to Camila Mendes, Chase Sui Wonders and a handful of other starlets around his age.
Now, the homeboy's on to bigger and better things besides TV -- he's a bona fide movie star!
Chloe's doing just fine, too, BTW ... she's been steadily working a lot lately, and is steadily on the rise in Hollywood. All's well that ends well -- and the good news ... these two hotties now appear unattached and on the market.
Happy hunting, everyone.

Kendall Jenner y Devin Booker Se vuelven a ver... Lento, pero seguro gana la carrera

Kendall Jenner y Devin Booker están reavivando su relación, pero están tomando las cosas con calma y ni siquiera son exclusivos todavía, según ha averiguado TMZ.
Fuentes con conocimiento directo nos dicen que los ex tortolitos han estado pasando más tiempo juntos últimamente, algo que se hizo evidente durante el Super Bowl, cuando vimos a Devin Booker aparecer en la suite de las Kardashian al azar, aunque separado de Kendall.
Aun así, fue curioso... y obviamente despertó nuevos rumores de romance entre ellos, esto después de pasar casi todo el 2023 separados.
Recuerden, ella estuvo saliendo con Bad Bunny en ese momento e iban bastante en serio.
De todos modos, nuestros ojos no nos engañaban y resulta que, de hecho, se están viendo nuevamente, pero nuestras fuentes enfatizan en que no quieren precipitar las cosas.
Testigos presenciales nos dicen que incluso han visto a Kendall aparecer en Dallas esta semana, mientras Devin estaba en la ciudad para el partido de los Mavs y los Suns el jueves, así que sí, ella está incluso viajando para estar con él últimamente.
Es interesante que estén pensando en volver a estar juntos. Primero se separaron a finales de 2022, y de acuerdo con los medios, fue principalmente por lo ocupados que estaban en ese entonces y la falta de tiempo en sus agendas para seguir como una pareja.
Teniendo en cuenta que ambos son casi tan famosos (si no más) como entonces, la justificación parece mentira. Devin sigue siendo un jugador de baloncesto profesional y ella sigue siendo un modelo exitosa.
Y, sin embargo, de alguna manera están encontrando tiempo para verse en este momento. ¡Bienvenidos nuevamente!
Kendall Jenner & Devin Booker Seeing Each Other Again ... Slow & Steady Wins the Race!!!

Kendall Jenner and Devin Booker are rekindling their relationship, but they're taking things slow -- and they're not even exclusive just yet ... TMZ has learned.
Sources familiar with the situation tell us the former lovebirds have been spending more time together lately -- something that became evident during the Super Bowl ... when DB popped up in the Kardashian suite super randomly, albeit separated from Kendall.
Still, it was curious ... and obviously sparked new dating rumors about them -- this after spending just about all of 2023 apart.
Remember, she was dating Bad Bunny at the time ... and they were quite serious.
Anyway, our lying eyes weren't deceiving us -- as it turns out ... we're being told they are, in fact, seeing each other again -- but our sources emphasize they're not rushing into things.
Eyewitnesses tell us they've even seen Kendall pop up in Dallas this week while Devin was in town for the Mavs/Suns game Thursday -- so yeah, she's even traveling to be with him lately.
It's interesting that they're circling getting back together ... they first broke up at the end of 2022, and according to reports -- it was apparently all over how busy they were and not having time in their schedules to keep it going as a couple.
Considering they're both just as famous (if not more so) since then, that rationale sounds like BS -- Devin is still a pro basketball player, and she's still a super successful model.
And yet ... somehow they're finding time to hang/bang right now. Welcome back, y'all!

Porsha Williams Reportedly Files For Divorce ... Barely A Year After Wedding
update
11:27 AM PT -- According to the divorce docs, obtained by TMZ, Porhsa and Simon have a prenup.
Porsha Williams and Simon Guobadia are reportedly parting ways just over a year after getting hitched ... though it's apparently not over his recent legal issues.
According to People, Porsha filed for divorce from Simon Thursday in Atlanta ... interesting timing given there is a lot of talk online about Guobadia being deported to his native Nigeria. A source told the outlet the divorce is unrelated -- but, it's hard to imagine Porsha didn't consider it before filing.
The reported filing seems to mark the end of a whirlwind romance for the couple, who got engaged just one month after they started dating in 2021. The engagement lasted longer than the marriage ... with Porsha and Simon tying the knot in November 2022.
The timing comes just a few weeks after Porsha signed up to return to "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" after a two-season hiatus ... and ya gotta imagine producers are gonna jump on her reported divorce for a storyline.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Bravo announced she was returning to the show under her married name Porsha Williams Guobadia ... unclear if she'll change her mind on that moniker before the new season launches production.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
As for Simon ... he's reportedly dealing with immigration issues as he tries to apply for naturalization. Not really bothering the dude it seems based on his most recent IG post -- where he smoked a cigar while chilling in a golf cart on a huge estate.
We'll have to wait and see what sorta developments arise as the couple seemingly splits ... for now though, it appears the 15-month marriage has run its course.

Bobbi Althoff We Settled Our Divorce
Bobbi Althoff says she and her estranged husband have settled their divorce just weeks after news of their filing broke -- and yes, it was pretty freaking fast.
According to court docs, obtained by TMZ ... Bobbi claims she and Cory Althoff have "reached a global marital settlement agreement" and have resolved any issues related to property rights.
BA asked for joint legal and physical custody of the couple's two children, but there are no further details about the settlement in the docs. She also checked the box requesting they pay their own attorney's fees.
Remember ... Cory filed for divorce earlier this month after about four years of marriage.
They both cited irreconcilable differences, asked for joint legal and physical custody, and wanted to block the court's ability to award spousal support.
Seems like the exes are on the same page ... a somewhat rare sight in Hollywood divorces. But, it makes sense given the reasons we're hearing the couple decided to call it quits.
Sources told us Bobbi's fame didn't jibe with Cory's desire to live a more normal, low-key kinda life. We were also told the split had nothing to do with cheating allegations that blew up after Bobbi interviewed Drake while lying in bed together.
While their divorce isn't finalized -- a judge has yet to sign off -- it seems it's only a matter of time before it becomes official.
On its face, it certainly feels like an amicable split ... by any definition of the word.

Bobbi Althoff Resolvimos nuestro divorcio
Bobbi Althoff dice que ella y su ex marido han resuelto su divorcio solo unas semanas después de que se supiera la noticia de su separación, y sí es curiosamente rápido.
Según documentos judiciales obtenidos por TMZ, Bobbi afirma que ella y Cory Althoff han "llegado a un acuerdo matrimonial global" y han resuelto todas las cuestiones relacionadas con los derechos de propiedad.
Bobbi pidió la custodia legal y física conjunta de los dos hijos de la pareja, aunque no hay más detalles sobre el acuerdo en los documentos. También marcó la casilla para solicitar que se paguen los honorarios de sus propios abogados.
Recuerden, Cory le pidió el divorcio a principios de este mes después de unos cuatro años de matrimonio.
Ambos citaron diferencias irreconciliables, pidieron la custodia legal y física conjunta y querían bloquear la capacidad del tribunal para conceder la manutención del cónyuge.
Parece que los ex están en sintonía, algo raro en los divorcios de Hollywood. Pero tiene sentido dadas las razones que la pareja ha dado para poner fin a todo.
Las fuentes nos dijeron que la fama de Bobbi no encajaba con el deseo de Cory de vivir una vida más normal y discreta. También nos dijeron que la separación no tenía nada que ver con los rumores de engaño que estallaron después de que Bobbi entrevistara a Drake mientras estaban juntos en la cama.
Aunque que su divorcio aún no está completo, un juez aún tiene que firmar, parece que es solo cuestión de tiempo para que se haga oficial.
A primera vista, parece una separación amistosa por dónde se le mire.

Larsa Pippen y su relación con Marcus Jordan salió a relucir durante una rutina de stand-up el fin de semana.
TMZ Sports obtuvo el video del momento incómodo en la reunión organizada por Russell y Teddy Berman, que muestra Greg Wilson aprovechando la presencia de la pareja para entretener a la multitud.
"Larsa Pippen está aquí con Marcus Jordan", dijo Greg al comienzo de su roast. "Eres una leyenda. Eres la única persona que ha conseguido j*** a Scottie Pippen y a Michael Jordan al mismo tiempo".
"Eres básicamente el mejor New York Knick de todos los tiempos", añadió. "Usted debe estar en su anillo de honor".
El jab fue recibido con algunas risas, pero está claro que el ambiente fue un poco incómodo.
Por supuesto, no es ningún secreto que la relación entre Larsa y Marcus ha irritado a algunos, teniendo en cuenta que el ex marido de Pippen ODIA a los padres de Jordan y un montón de gente se ha manifestado en redes sociales.
Finalmente, Wilson se salió con la suya jugando en terreno peligroso.
No fue un roast solo para los tortolitos -quienes parecían disfrutar de su compañía durante todo el evento- también sufrieron los *NSYNC, Chris Kirkpatrick y Joey Fatone, Jonathan Cheban y otros.
Como informamos anteriormente, la pareja hizo una breve pausa en su relación la semana pasada, pero teniendo en cuenta que han sido inseparables esta última semana, podemos decir que las cosas van muy bien.

Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan's relationship was put in the crosshairs during a stand-up routine over the weekend ... with a comedian cracking a savage joke right in their faces!!
TMZ Sports obtained video of the uncomfortable moment at 10XLaw.com's Miami Beach gathering hosted by Russell and Teddy Berman ... which shows Greg Wilson taking advantage of Larcus' presence as he entertained the crowd on the mic.
"Larsa Pippen is here with Marcus Jordan," Greg said at the start of his roast. "You're a legend. You're the only person that's ever managed to f*** up both Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan at the same time."
"You're basically the greatest New York Knick of all time," he added. "You should be in their ring of honor."
The jab was met with some laughs ... but it's clear the vibe was a bit awkward.
Of course, it's no secret Larsa and Marcus' relationship has ruffled some feathers considering Pippen's ex-husband HATES Jordan's pops ... and a lot of folks have chimed in on social media.
But, Wilson didn't need a keyboard to fire off his take ... which is more than any internet troll can say.
It wasn't just a roast sesh for the two lovebirds, though -- they appeared to enjoy themselves throughout the event ... which also featured *NSYNC's Chris Kirkpatrick and Joey Fatone, Jonathan Cheban and others.
As we previously reported, the couple briefly paused their relationship last week ... but taking into account they have been inseparable this past week, it's safe to say they're doing just fine.

Zendaya y Tom Holland Tomados de la mano mientras dejan el estreno de "Dune" Fin a los rumores...
2/16/24
Zendaya y Tom Holland siguen siendo una pareja y lo demostraron esta semana cuando salieron de la mano del estreno de su película en Londres, aplastando todos los rumores de ruptura.
Tom estaba tomando firmemente la mano de Zendaya el jueves por la noche mientras salían del estreno de "Dune: Part Two" y dejaban atrás a los paparazzi y a los cazadores de autógrafos. Él tomó la iniciativa aquí, ayudándola a entrar en un carro que los estaba esperando y jugando sin duda un buen papel de novio.
Esta es la primera vez que Zendaya y Tom son vistos juntos en público desde que comenzaron los rumores de su ruptura incesante. Hasta ahora, habían estado un poco separados, incluso estando en la misma ciudad en el último tiempo.
Recuerden, los rumores comenzaron en diciembre cuando Z dejó de seguir a todo el mundo en IG, incluido Tom y sin ninguna explicación.
01/12/24
A principios de enero, Tom le dijo explícitamente a un fotógrafo que no habían terminado y hace un par de semanas redobló su defensa con algunos mensajes que alababan a Z en sus redes sociales. A pesar de eso, no los habíamos visto juntos en el mismo lugar hasta el gran momento de Zendaya en el estreno.
Ahora está más claro que el agua, la relación de Z y T va viento en popa y no hay problemas en el paraíso.
Históricamente, se han distinguido por ser bastante privados, así que este es un mensaje fuerte de su parte. Parece que Tom quería enviar un mensaje de una vez por todas.
Zendaya y Tom llevaban trajes negros a juego la noche del jueves y ella parecía mucho más cómoda de lo que estaba en el estreno.
Respiren tranquilos, amigos, la pareja favorita de todo el mundo sigue junta.
Zendaya and Tom Holland Hold Hands Leaving 'Dune' Premiere ... Put End To Breakup Rumors
2/16/24
Zendaya and Tom Holland are very much still a couple -- something they proved this week by holding hands after her big movie premiere in London ... squashing all the rumors.
Tom was firmly holding Zendaya's hand Thursday night as he led her away from the "Dune: Part Two" afterparty ... leaving paps and autograph hounds in the dust as he helped her into a waiting car. Indeed, he's taking the lead here ... and certainly playing the BF role.
This is the first time Zendaya and Tom have been spotted together in public since the incessant breakup rumors first started -- until now, they've kinda been apart ... even when they've been in the same city of late.
Remember, the rumblings began in December when Z unfollowed everyone on IG ... even purging Tom from her social media with no explanation.
01/12/24
Tom told a photog, explicitly, they were not dunzo earlier in January -- and a couple weeks ago, he doubled down with some social media posts doting on Z. But, we still hadn't seen them at the same place at the same time until Zendaya's big moment at the premiere.
Now it's clear as day, Z and TH are going strong ... and there's no trouble in paradise.
They're historically a pretty private couple too, so this is a strong message as far as these two are concerned. Seems like Tom wanted to send a message once and for all.
Zendaya and Tom were wearing matching black outfits Thursday night ... and Zendaya looked a helluva lot more comfortable than what she showed up to the premiere wearing.
Breathe easy, folks, everyone's favorite class couple's still together.

Cardi B pasó San Valentín con su separado esposo Offset, y aunque no se ven muy separados aquí, todavía tienen que confirmar que están definitivamente juntos de nuevo.
La rapera ha tenido a los fans adivinando sobre el estado de su relación con su maridito últimamente. Pasó tiempo con él en fechas clave como Navidad y Año Nuevo e incluso ha dejado que todo el mundo se entere de que han estado pasando tiempo juntos, a pesar de que anunciaron su separación a principios de diciembre.
Bueno, este es solo el último episodio de su confusa montaña rusa y este miércoles, para San Valentín, estuvieron enviando nuevamente señales mixtas tras aparecer en el restaurante Carbone de Miami Beach para celebrar el día del amor.
La pareja llegó al restaurante italiano juntos y Offset entró unos minutos después.
Él claramente se estaba tomando su tiempo para saludar a los fanáticos y curiosos, incluso compartiendo un abrazo con uno de ellos. Al final, salieron pasada la medianoche y Cardi estuvo firmando algunos autógrafos antes de dirigirse a su vehículo juntos.
Así que, sí están juntos, no hay cuestionamiento en este punto, especialmente en el día V.
Por supuesto, sabemos que Cardi se enfureció con los fanáticos que estaban especulando sobre ellos. La rapera ha hecho descargos en línea, a veces sugiriendo que NO están juntos. Sí, todo es muy confuso y ellos no han proporcionan mucha claridad.
Lo que sea que esté pasando, obviamente, significa que están en buenos términos, o al menos lo suficientemente bien como para pasar juntos un día tan especial como San Valentín. Así que pueden sacar sus propias conclusiones.
Es seguro decir que Cardi & Offset están arreglando las cosas a su propio ritmo. Feliz Día de San Valentín para ustedes dos.

Cardi B spent Valentine's Day with her estranged husband, Offset -- and while they don't look very estranged here ... they have yet to definitively confirm they're back together.
The rapper's been keeping fans guessing about her relationship status with her hubby lately --- spending time with him on key dates such as Xmas and New Year's ... and even letting everyone know they've banged as of late -- despite having announced their split in early December.
Well, this is just the latest confusing curveball -- they were at it again with mixed signals for Valentine's Day ... hitting up Carbone in Miami Beach for the lovey-dovey holiday Wednesday.
Check it out, the pair arrived at the Italian eatery together ... and Offset went inside a few minutes after Cardi, seemingly trying to stagger themselves.
He was clearly taking his time to greet fans/onlookers, even sharing a hug with one of them. In the end, however, they emerged together after midnight, with Cardi holding her phone up to her face while signing some autographs before they headed into their vehicle together.
So, yeah ... they're together -- no questioning it now at this point, especially on V-day.
Of course, we know Cardi's gone off on people speculating on where things stand between them -- she's gone on online tirades on Twitter randos, at times suggesting they are NOT, in fact, together. Yes, it's all very confusing -- and they haven't provided much clarity.
Whatever the hell is going on -- obviously, they're on good enough terms to hang on a very special day in the year that's for lovers ... so you can draw your own conclusions.
Safe to say, C&O are working through things on their own timeline -- happy Valentine's Day, you two.

Jennifer Lopez y Ben Affleck Posponer la boda fue el comienzo del fin... Éramos muy inmaduros
Jennifer López dice que ella y Ben Affleck no terminaron el día que pospusieron su boda en 2003, sino que se separaron un tiempo después, como consescuencia de ello.
La cantante y compositora habló con Zane Lowe para una entrevista de Apple Music y reveló que la pareja podría haber optado por romper cuando decidieron cancelar su boda, pero se quedaron juntos un tiempo más para intentar seguir siendo una pareja.
JL dijo que el retraso de la boda provocó dudas en ella y Ben Affleck sobre su relación y hacia "dónde iba" y, a pesar de que sabía que quería estar con él para siempre, sintió que su matrimonio no iba a hacer que eso funcionara.
López explicó que no eran lo suficientemente "maduros" para que su relación tuviera éxito a pesar de sus repetidos intentos y agregó que tenían la impresión de que la gente se separaba cuando "las cosas se ponían difíciles", por lo que tomaron diferentes caminos.
Menos mal, porque Lopez dice que ambos necesitaban encontrar el amor y formar una familia con otras personas antes de que pudieran trabajar realmente en ser una pareja.
Recuerden, después de que "Bennifer" terminaran y antes de que se reconciliaran nuevamente, López se casó con el cantante Marc Anthony y tuvo dos hijos, y Affleck se enganchó con su coprotagonista de "Daredevil" Jennifer Garner y tuvieron 3 hijos.
López dijo que ella y Ben se sentían más seguros como personas cuando volvieron a estar juntos y esta vez la relación parece permanente, pues se casaron en 2022.
La ausencia hace que el corazón se vuelva más cariñoso, ¡al menos parece que así ha sido para Ben y Jen!
Jennifer Lopez & Ben Affleck Postponed Wedding Beginning of End ... Too Immature To Figure Out
Jennifer Lopez says she and Ben Affleck didn't break up the day they postponed their wedding in 2003 ... instead, they split well into the aftermath of the stunning delay.
The singer-songwriter spoke with Zane Lowe during an Apple Music interview and revealed the couple may have been headed down the path to breaking up when they called their wedding off, but they stayed together for a while later ... trying to make their coupling last.
JL said the wedding delay sparked doubt in both herself and BA about "what our relationship was and where it was going" and -- even though she knew she wanted to be with him forever -- she felt their marriage wasn't going to make it the distance.
Lopez explained they weren't "mature" enough to make the relationship work despite their repeated attempts ... and she added they were under the impression people broke up when "things get hard" -- so they went their separate ways.
Good thing too ... 'cause Lopez says they both needed to go find love and make families with other people before they could really work at being a couple again.
Remember ... in the time after "Bennifer" broke up and before they reconciled, Lopez married singer Marc Anthony and had two kids while Affleck hooked up with his "Daredevil" costar Jennifer Garner leading to a trio of children.
Lopez said she and Ben both felt more confident in themselves as individuals when they got back together ... and this time the relationship seems permanent with the two officially tying the knot in 2022.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder ... at least it seems to have for Ben and Jen!
