Appearing on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast on Wednesday, Gayle said she got back from the airport earlier than expected one day, and immediately knew something was off when the house alarm was set -- something William apparently never did.

Gayle says William bolted out of the bedroom, wrapped in a towel, and tried to block her from going in -- warning her that someone was inside.

"The Bachelorette" star DeAnna Pappas' ex-husband, Stephen Stagliano, denies he committed fraud or intentionally concealed assets from her in their divorce ... TMZ has learned.

In court docs, Stephen fired back at DeAnna’s claims that he withdrew a bunch of money from his retirement account, which she was owed a cut of.

‘90 Day Fiance’ star Patrick Mendes wants out of his 4-year marriage with Thais Ramone … and sole legal custody of their kid, TMZ has learned.

We obtained the divorce docs Patrick filed this week, which say he’s asking for sole legal custody and primary physical custody of their 3-year-old daughter, Aleesi.

According to the court papers … Patrick makes twice as much as Thais – he says he makes $10K a month and she pulls in $5K -- so he’s not asking for child or spousal support.

Erika Jayne won't be heading to trial in her monster $25 million legal war tied to ex-husband Tom Girardi ... because the whole thing was settled at the last minute.

Kaitlyn denied the gun claim and told us the situation affected her sense of safety, finances, and her ability to function.

The decorated Olympic swimmer recently announced he's taking a job at Missouri State University ... a move Kayla Reid Lochte thinks will be challenging for their three young children, who are staying behind with her in Gainesville, Florida.

Sources close to Kayla Reid tell TMZ … her main concern has always been the emotional well-being and stability of the children and it’s heartbreaking anytime young kids are faced with the reality of seeing a parent less often, especially at their age when they don’t fully understand distance or what a long-distance parenting schedule truly looks like long term.

Jessica Simpson is finally explaining why her kids were riding economy while she was chilling up front in first class during that awkward flight with ex Nick Lachey ... and according to her, blame Grandma!

The vow renewal was how Erica and Warryn chose to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary ... so she probably wasn't trying to throw her marriage in her sister's face.

Cardi B rocked a different kind of diamond this weekend ... a baseball diamond. The mother of 4 stepped up to the plate this weekend to throw out the first pitch at her son Wave's baseball game ... but she made it clear the experience came with a few unexpected conditions she wasn’t exactly used to.
