Breakups

Britney Spears was being used by her ex, Hoda Kotb wants a shot at Kevin Costner and Glen "Big Baby" Davis is getting ready to do a bid ... all this on today's TMZ TV Hot Takes.

First up on "TMZ Live" Harvey and Charles break down Britney's break up with her ex, Paul Soliz.

Britney Spears and Paul Soliz called it quits on their relationship almost a month ago, after she came to the realization he was riding her coattails ... and now she's got a new roomie.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … Britney and Paul split around 3 weeks ago, and they were dunzo once the singer realized her former maintenance worker-turned-boyfriend was only using her for the luxurious lifestyle.

The reasoning here certainly jibes with what Britney alluded to in her recent Instagram post putting Paul on blast and declaring herself "single as f***."

Former NFL star Adrian Wilson -- a five-time Pro Bowler -- told cops he broke multiple objects and threatened to kill himself during a heated argument with his wife before his arrest last month ... this according to police documents, obtained by TMZ Sports.

According to the Scottsdale Police Department incident report, Wilson's family members accused the ex-Arizona Cardinals defensive back of flying off the handle at around 5 AM on June 1 at their Scottsdale, Ariz. residence.

Cops say Wilson's wife, Alicia, told them everything started after she found out he was having an affair. She stated she filled out legal separation paperwork from Wilson -- and left it in the guest house that he had been staying in.

Taylor Swift's all loved up with Travis Kelce ... but she hit rewind to her Joe Jonas days, performing "Last Kiss" on her latest "Eras" tour stop.

The singer surprised fans in Zürich, Switzerland as she played the breakup anthem inspired by that brief relationship -- from her album "Speak Now" -- on piano Tuesday night ... and mashed it up with "Sad Beautiful Tragic."

Taylor parted ways with Joe back in 2008 ... so it's highly unlikely he was on her mind all these years later. A better reason for her to play it is the fact the song's lyrics mention Tuesday's date, July 9th.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard still has compassion for her estranged hubby Ryan Anderson -- she let him know she was pregnant with Ken Urker's baby before informing the public ... TMZ has learned.

Family sources tell TMZ ... Gypsy told Ryan about her pregnancy a couple of weeks ago -- news we're told came as a huge blow for him, as he was holding out hope of reconciling their marriage. As one source put it, "He didn't take the news well at all."

Sadly for Ryan, looks like GRB getting back with him after their marriage crumbled in March is slimmer than slim ... 'cause we're told she's got no regrets over being back with her ex-fiancé Ken because she believes he's her person.

Dorit Kemsley's giving us an update on her marital status after separating from her hubby PK ... and, interestingly, she's not slamming the door on the possibility of reconciliation.

She was out and about Monday in L.A. when the 'RHOBH' star told us her current focus amid their split was putting all their energy into co-parenting their 2 kiddos.

Of course, we had to ask if she was still working toward "maybe getting back together" ... and she didn't say no way.

Jennifer Lopez seems to be sending a message to husband Ben Affleck amid their marital woes and looming divorce ... at least based on the content of a song she just posted.

Here's the deal ... J Lo's most recent Instagram posts and stories are all about her 2021 song "Cambia El Paso" ... a track about embracing change and leaving a romantic partner.

Jen posted snippets of the music video, plus some behind-the-scenes footage on Sunday ... and now fans are reading way into it because of the lyrics.

Britney Spears has declared she's "single as f***" ... throwing heaps of shade at her now-ex BF Paul Soliz in the process.

The singer dropped a pap shot of them together in a car on her IG Stories Sunday, and called out the irony of Paul crying harassment during that moment ... when she says he welcomed the attention himself.

In the pic it looks like they're getting hassled -- Paul's got his arm up in the car, trying to shield himself from the pap cameras, while Britney's crouching all the way down next to him.

Jennifer Lopez is sending mixed signals about the state of her marriage to Ben Affleck ... as she's once again wearing her wedding ring.

ICYMI ... the singer ditched her green diamond sparkler for an Instagram video promoting her JLO Beauty brand this week ... and instead, chose to rock diamond earrings and stacked silver rings on her right hand.

J Lo may've spotted the chatter about the status of her wedding ring ... as she stepped out Thursday morning and noticeably chose to wear the impressive diamond.

Genie Bouchard is single for the summer ... TMZ Sports has learned the tennis star and her longtime boyfriend, Jack Brinkley-Cook, have broken up.

Our sources say the two officially headed to Splitsville in April ... calling off a relationship that had lasted somewhere around two years.

The couple was first spotted together getting cozy on a beach in 2022 -- just after her breakup with NFL quarterback Mason Rudolph -- and in September 2023, they went Instagram official.

Comedian Matt Rife and his actress/dancer girlfriend Jessica Lord have broken up ... sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ.

We're told the former couple actually called it quits back in March, and the split was amicable on both sides ... with no hard feelings. The relationship had run its course.

Since the split, our sources say Matt has NOT been dating ... instead of looking for love, we're told he's focusing on his stand-up tour.

Jennifer Lopez is missing a key accessory in a social media upload ... further fueling the chatter she and husband Ben Affleck are headed for divorce.

J Lo is noticeably not wearing the green diamond ring Ben proposed with in 2022 as she promotes JLO Beauty's Ultimate Body Kit and Complexion Booster on Instagram.

It's not like Jennifer is without jewelry in the clip ... watch the vid, as she's clearly wearing stacked rings on her right hand and diamond earrings to round out her summery look of shorts and a halter top.

Suki Waterhouse is opening up about her split with Bradley Cooper back in the day ... she says their breakup was dark, difficult, isolating and disorienting.

The "Daisy Jones & the Six" actress reflects on her decades-old romance and split with Bradley in her August 2024 British Vogue cover story ... one of the few times she's ever spoken publicly about their breakup.

Suki dated Bradley from 2013 to 2015 and in her BV interview, published Tuesday, she says it's taken her almost 10 years to heal.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are reportedly parting ways with some of their shared belongings while also trying to unload their marital home ... all as they remain living separately.

The apparently estranged couple's selling pieces of art they had inside the $60 million Bev Hills abode where they used to live together, according to Page Six.

Ben and J Lo listed art and some other unspecified pieces earlier in June, and according to the report they've had some nibbles from collectors who've already taken a peek at the goods.

'Bachelorette' alum Rachel Lindsay is firing back at her estranged husband's request for tons of spousal support ... but she is willing to cough up nearly five figures each month.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the Bachelor Nation personality and podcaster says, based on what they each bring in per month, she should be cutting Bryan Abasolo a monthly check of $9,882 in spousal support.

In the docs, Rachel says she's bringing in $61,019 per month ... and she calculates his gross monthly income at $13,413 from his work as a chiropractor.

12:10 PM PT -- A rep for Firerose tells TMZ … "Billy Ray’s story keeps evolving and this filing is simply another abusive tactic to distract away from the serious, true allegations brought against him, backed by an abundance of evidence. The only individuals supporting his false claims are those on his payroll, whose credibility is questionable."

Then went on to say ... "The audacity to question a BRCA-positive women’s [sic] decision to undergo a preventative surgery further shows the kind of cruel manipulation Firerose was subjected to. What Billy Ray fails to recognize is when you have a decades-long history of emotional and psychological abuse, people start to take notice. The truth will come to light."

Billy Ray Cyrus is pushing back against his estranged wife's claim he abandoned their marriage just one day before her scheduled double mastectomy ... telling a different story.

The country star filed a legal response to Firerose's allegations Monday ... claiming her surgery was actually scheduled for June 6 last year, not May 24 as she alleged. What's more, he alleges she set it for this date as a calculated move for her to tarnish his career by threatening to attribute their split to her double mastectomy.

He claims she said to him, "If you even think about divorcing me right now, I will tell everyone that you did it because of the double mastectomy and your career will be over."
