Celebrity Divorce

Kevin Federline claims his and Britney Spears' son Sean Preston was "terrified" to stay with his mom during some of their most turbulent years.

In his memoir, "You Thought You Knew," Federline recalls gut-wrenching nights comforting the boy, who he says would cry and cling to him whenever it was time to visit Britney.

"Every time Preston had to go to his mom's, they had to pry him off my neck," Kevin reads in the audiobook version. "He'd cry, scream, and hold on with everything he had."

Rapper Kevin Gates is getting dissed in court ... his estranged wife, Dreka, is claiming he cut off her and their children financially, so she wants a judge to order him to pay a ton in child and spousal support.

According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Dreka says in late 2021 Kevin started to "dismantle the financial foundation of their family" when she says he stopped paying for basic family obligations such as property taxes and their children's private school tuition.

Meanwhile, Dreka says he flaunted his wealth by snatching up 18 luxury vehicles and a $4.7 million estate in Calabasas.

David Geffen's estranged husband has withdrawn his salacious civil lawsuit against the media mogul, and is choosing another course, which takes much of his enormous money demand off the table.

David Armstrong (AKA Donovan Michaels) filed his civil lawsuit back in July, alleging the 82-year-old billionaire targeted the 32-year-old, whose trauma was weaponized for Geffen's "personal gratification and public image."

Armstrong claims he gave up his modeling career after allegedly being promised Geffen would take care of him financially for life. The former couple did not have a prenup -- Armstrong says he's entitled to community property. We're told Geffen, who has been retired for 15 years, has no community income.

Kevin Federline claims his ex-wife, Britney Spears, had a reckless pattern of prioritizing partying over their kids ... and his tell-all memoir details the moment he said enough is enough.

In his newly released book, "You Thought You Knew," Kevin writes, "I was in Miami for work, trying to stay focused on my commitments, and I got a call. It was her, Paris Hilton, and Lindsay Lohan on the line, drunk as hell, begging me to come over. I could hear Preston and Jayden crying in the background. It had to be three or four in the morning. That call was the final straw."

According to K-Fed, it wasn't the first time something like that happened, but it was the one that stuck with him the most.

Aaron Phypers was shocked as he was arrested Friday for alleged domestic violence against Denise Richards ... 'cause he says the last time he spoke to cops, he was reporting HER for similar allegations.

Michael Finley, Aaron's lawyer, tells TMZ … Aaron wasn’t interviewed by authorities prior to having cuffs slapped on him on a felony arrest warrant connected to allegations Denise leveled from 2022.

TMZ broke the story ... Aaron was arrested at the courthouse during a restraining order hearing with Denise ... and subsequently charged with 2 felony counts of injuring a spouse and 2 felony counts of dissuading a witness by force or threat.

As we previously reported ... Aaron filed a report against Denise with the L.A. County Sheriff's Department over the summer for alleged vandalism, theft and assault related to the July 4th fight after filing for divorce. We're told they never reached out about Denise's allegations.

Finley finds the Friday situation outrageous ... but tells us Aaron didn't need to be interviewed before a warrant was issued if a judge determined there was probable cause.

Aaron was sprung from the joint super quick ... Finley tells us, “people who care about him” ponied up the necessary funds to satisfy the $200,000 bail -- meaning he was only in custody a few hours.

We're told Aaron's in “good spirits, and all things considered, has a good attitude” about the situation ... 'cause he vehemently denies the accusations, and he's ready to fight the charges.

Finley tells TMZ ... he will remain Aaron's divorce lawyer and help him retain a criminal defense attorney.

Lori Loughlin has separated from estranged husband Mossimo Giannulli, but if she thinks she's going to get a chunk of the fashion designer's fortune in the split, she might have to think again.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... a prenuptial agreement Lori signed when she married Mossimo in 1997 provides their assets are separate property. We're told it's something Mossimo insisted on before they married.

What's more ... Mossimo was worth north of $100 million at the time. It's unclear if the prenup changed, but if it didn't, it looks like she's screwed.

Mercedes "MJ" Javid says the sun has gone down on her union to Tommy Feight ... 'cause the "Shahs of Sunset" star has filed for divorce after more than seven years of marriage.

The reality star filed the documents in Los Angeles Friday night ... and, she lists the date of separation as last Friday, October 17 -- so, it seems she didn't wait long to head over to the courthouse after the split.

She's citing the boilerplate irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split ... and, she's asking to block the court's ability to award spousal support to herself or her estranged husband.

Denise Richards' estranged husband Aaron Phypers was arrested outside of court Friday ... and now we have his official charges.

According to documents obtained by TMZ, Aaron was charged with 2 felony counts of injuring a spouse, and 2 felony counts of dissuading a witness by force or threat, with his total bail set at $200,000.

Michael Finley, Aaron's lawyer, previously told TMZ ... Aaron was not aware of the warrant ... and Finley accuses Denise and her legal team of "setting him up" at Friday's proceedings.

Kim Zolciak didn't need to do a walk of shame after leaving her man's house Saturday morning ... 'cause he joined her outside after an evening together.

The real estate star was spotted outside Kyle Mowitz's Georgia home in a black crop top and matching sweatpants ... her blonde hair's tied up in a messy bun in the pics and she's got her glasses on.

Kyle came out to pack up the car, too ... putting what looks like a large piece of machinery in the back while wearing a gray shirt and trucker cap.

Jennifer Lopez's first husband is firing back after she claimed she's "never been truly loved" by any of her exes ... accusing her of being the one who strayed.

Ojani Noa, who was married to J Lo from 1997 to 1998, unleashed a furious Instagram rant over the weekend after hearing her comments from a recent Howard Stern interview where the singer said her past partners "weren't capable" of loving her.

Noa, who's now a personal trainer, wasn't having it, writing, "Stop putting us down. Stop putting me down with your victim card. The problem is not us. Not me. The problem is you. You're the one who couldn't keep it in your pants."

Keith Urban played off a potentially awkward situation like a champ at his concert Friday night ... when a fan told him her name is Nicole!

Check out the clip from the country star's show at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena --the fan tells him he won't like her name before revealing it's the same as his estranged wife's.

He hilariously reacts by dramatically falling backward onto the stage, lying there for a few moments as fans cheer and clap.

And just like that, Aaron Phypers is a free man! The estranged husband of Denise Richards swiftly bonded himself out of the Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station Friday night after satisfying his $200,000 bond.

We broke the news -- he was arrested after a contentious court hearing in L.A. Friday afternoon on an outstanding warrant his lawyer, Michael Finley, told TMZ is believed to be connected to Denise's allegations of physical abuse.

Michael accused the whole thing of being a set up at the hands of Denise's legal team.

Denise Richards' saga with her estranged husband Aaron Phypers just got even more explosive ... Aaron is requesting half of the money she earns on OnlyFans, TMZ has learned.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Aaron alleges Denise makes $200K-$300K per month from photos she posted on OnlyFans ... and Aaron says he's entitled to half -- because he snapped the pics.

What's more ... he says he's dead broke and really needs the money to pay his rent and utilities ... a far cry from his married days when he claims he had access to joint accounts that held millions. But he now says Denise is freezing him out.

Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smith just sidestepped a potentially bitter battle for custody of their daughter, Juno ... calling off the trial one day before the court date.

TMZ has learned ... Jodie's legal team filed court docs October 14, requesting the trial be taken off the court's calendar before it was set to begin October 15.

According to the "Queen & Slim" actress' lawyer, the two are in the process of negotiating a custody judgment themselves.

Keith Urban had to cancel a show suddenly last night due to illness ... but there is no way in hell he is missing tonight's homecoming show, TMZ has learned.

Here's the deal ... Keith's "High and Alive" tour stop at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina was scrapped at the last minute yesterday ... 'cause his doctor diagnosed him with laryngitis. Naturally, the cancellation made headlines due to the split drama with Nicole Kidman -- but this had nothing to do with that.

A source close to Keith tells TMZ ... the country music star is on vocal rest all day ... right up until he takes the stage Friday evening for his homecoming show at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. But it's totally on -- and good thing, too ... 'cause it's damn-near sold out!

Keith Urban's a heavyweight "Fighter" in the music industry ... and, he says the toll of being a big-time star is all-encompassing -- even when it comes to relationships.

The singer-songwriter sat for an interview with "Entertainment Tonight" months before his estranged wife, Nicole Kidman, filed for divorce ... but it seems he was already reflecting on all the sacrifices he's had to make for the music.

The interviewer asks him about financial and physical sacrifices ... and, KU offers up "relationship sacrifices" ... though he doesn't elaborate here on exactly what he means.
