While chatting with E! News, Kyle, who is currently separated from husband Mauricio Umansky, said she "wasn't surprised" by her pal's marriage coming to an end ... though, she was "sad" to learn the update.

Taylor Swift had a LOOOOONG dinner Friday night with pal Zoë Kravitz, and at the end of the evening it kinda showed!

TS and Zoe hit up Chez Margaux in NYC's Meatpacking District. The photo agency says they were there for 8 hours ... seems a little overblown, but it was apparently a long night.

On her way out, the superstar seemed a bit unsteady ... after all, how could wine not have been on the menu for a great French meal!?!

Zach Bryan's ex Brianna LaPaglia (AKA Brianna Chickenfry) is accusing her former country star beau of emotional abuse ... claiming he even offered her a $12 million NDA after their split.

Barstool Sports' Dave Portnoy sat down with Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia to spill some tea about her ex, Zach Bryan -- claiming Zach kicked his rescue dog, Miss Peaches, out of a dressing room.

Dave recounted how the alleged incident happened at the country singer's July concert at Gillette Stadium outside Boston ... and Brianna responded on Thursday's "BFFs" podcast, saying she had no clue it went down, since -- as far as she knew -- Zach was totally fine with him bringing both his dog and hers.

Dave elaborated ... saying at one point he was heading back to the dressing room when he caught sight of Zach with the dog as he was escorting her out.

Martha Stewart's ex-husband and his wife are speaking out ... saying he was in an "abusive" relationship with the businesswoman -- this, after Martha admitted to cheating on him.

6:48 PM PT -- TMZ has just obtained photos of Kristin and Mark at the Nashville bar last night.

As we told you earlier ... our sources tell us they are just friends and not back together.

Kristin Cavallari seems serious about wanting to remain friends with ex-boyfriend Mark Estes, because they recently hung out together ... at one of their old stomping grounds.

6:10 PM PT -- In the new "BFF's" podcast episode, Brianna LaPaglia dove into some of the emotional abuse she endured while dating Zach Bryan.

Starting off with a huge admission ... Brianna was allegedly offered $12 million by Zach's team to sign an NDA ... which she clearly rejected.

Brianna talked about the infamous Raya profile screenshot that went viral on social media ... revealing that she got a bunch of DMs telling her Zach was on the dating app.

BL says he allegedly merely responded that he "reactivated" the app when confronted ... which is why she claims he posted about the breakup ... 'cause he got caught.

What's more ... Brianna says there was a lot of isolation and manipulation in their relationship, giving the example of Zach allegedly not liking her Golden Globes dress and not wanting to date someone who presented themselves like that ... so he unfollowed her -- but he later reposted the dress snap, claiming she was beautiful ... among many other examples throughout the podcast.

Brianna claims there was never a breakup convo, and their relationship ended with Zach telling her he 'couldn't do this,' only to head back to Oklahoma by himself.

An emotional whirlwind indeed.

Brianna LaPaglia's split from Zach Bryan is somehow getting even nastier ... she's just unleashed claims that the country star was emotionally abusive throughout their relationship.

The Barstool Sports personality opened up on her messy breakup with Bryan on Thursday's episode of "BFFs" ... making some heavy claims against the "Something In The Orange" singer while behind the mic.

Bri told her cohosts, Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards, that Bryan made her life hell since they first got together in 2023 ... while claiming even now -- several days after they've decided to go their separate ways -- she's still terrified of him.

Brianna LaPaglia appears to not be wasting any time moving on from her rocky split with ex-boyfriend Zach Bryan -- a moving truck was spotted outside his Massachusetts mansion.

TMZ obtained a picture outside Zach's waterfront mansion an hour south of Boston Thursday. He bought the property for $7.450 million in July to be closer to Brianna, who splits her time between NYC and MA, where she's originally from.

It's very clear based on this picture that the breakup, which has been splashed all over headlines, is complete.

Artem Chigvintsev says he's more than just a 'DWTS' alum, he's also a DIY guy at heart ... pushing back on some nasty things his estranged wife says about him.

Here's the deal ... in a restraining order Nikki Garcia (Bella) filed against Artem last month, she claimed he got cut from the upcoming "Dancing with the Stars" season a week before his domestic violence arrest and started working a construction job she says he felt "was beneath him."

But Artem's firing back in new legal docs ... saying Nikki is lying about his opinion on construction work.

10:30 AM PT -- Halle Bailey reinstated her accounts Thursday morning, and said she may have overreacted last night -- clarifying DDG is a great dad, and thanking Kai Cenat for the gifts to her son.

DDG and his baby boy Halo were the latest guests on Kai Cenat's stream night -- a move unapproved by Halle Bailey -- and she told the entire world about it!!!

On Wednesday evening, Halle brought more attention to her child being the center of attention on Kai's stream -- where he was treated to a live baby shower in his honor!!!

Kai has millions of followers each night and Halle says her not being notified put her in a bad position as a mother. She later told the internet she's suffering from postpartum depression.

Artem Chigvintsev says his bank account took a huge hit -- losing $100,000 in income -- after he was arrested for domestic violence against his estranged wife Nikki Garcia (Bella).

According to new court docs, obtained by TMZ, Artem says he was still a working dancer despite Nikki's claims to the contrary after he lost his gig on "Dancing With The Stars." Artem says he regularly picked up dance jobs on Saturdays and Sundays, and each project would last 20 weekends.

But, after his bust, Artem says his mug shot spread across the media based on Nikki's false allegations, and his job opportunities dried up, leading to his $100,000 erosion of income.

Ben Affleck is giving major props to Jennifer Lopez for her "spectacular" performance in her new movie, "Unstoppable," despite the couple getting a divorce.

The true-life story follows Judy's unwavering support for her son, Anthony Robles, who was born with one leg, but manages to overcome his disability and win a spot on the Arizona State University Wrestling team.

She goes on to say her kids are her priority ... and, she will take every step to ensure their care and privacy during the split.

Judge Greg Mathis has been on a mission to win back his wife, Linda, after she filed for divorce this summer -- and it looks like all his hard work has finally paid off!

Greg shared some serious wisdom, saying that sometimes God has to break you down to lift you back up -- something he clearly believes happened for him in getting Linda back in his arms.

Brianna LaPaglia isn't ready to address her high-profile split from country singer Zach Bryan ... saying as much in an update about her podcast.

The Barstool Sports personality, best known as Brianna Chickenfry, posted a message to fans on TikTok Wednesday evening, where she admitted she and "BFFs" podcast cohosts Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards tried to record a new episode, but were unable to due to her heartbreak.

She wrote ... "I am having a very hard time figuring out how I want to handle this publicly due to all the backlash. I am going to put my mental health first this week."

Zoë Kravitz was spotted out and about in New York City, making her first public appearance since the news hit that she and fiancé Channing Tatum pulled the plug on their engagement.

Despite the surprise split, the actress seemed to be in good spirits as she strolled down the streets of the Big Apple Wednesday.

Zoë hasn't directly addressed the breakup yet ... but it's worth noting she kept her left hand tucked away in a super oversized coat as she went about her day.
