celebrity kids

Beyoncé hit the stage at LA's SoFi Stadium Monday night -- belting out a slew of her biggest hits and giving a double surprise to her screaming fans.

The iconic singer performed a three-hour set before a live audience, playing a total of 36 of her hits, including "Ameriican Reqiuem," “Formation,” “Cuff It” and “Crazy in Love,” as well as songs from her 2024 country album, "Cowboy Carter," which is also the name of her tour.

At one point, Beyonce brought out her kiddos, Rumi and Blue Ivy, to help her crank out "Protector" -- and everyone went wild.

Before this cute kiddo -- sprawled out on the living room floor -- was bustin' out his dopest moves on the dance floor, he was just dancing at age 7, and growing up in Minnetonka, Minnesota.

He's definitely known from "Dancing with the Stars" ... In 2015, he made his 'DWTS' debut as a background dancer, and made his entrance as a pro a couple years later. His celebrity dance partners included Alexis Renn and Jessie James Decker.

Need one more hint? He and his teammate, 'Bachelorette' star Hannah Brown were crowned winners!

Lele Pons just wanted to find out the gender of her child ... and, nearly had to make an emergency room visit, too -- 'cause she fell pretty hard during the reveal.

The social media star and her singer-songwriter husband, Guaynaa, had their gender-reveal party Friday ... and, they decided to announce their baby's gender with a whole bunch of slippery slime.

Basically, they got a bunch of their family and friends to break up into two groups ... one underneath a "Boy" sign and another under a "Girl" sign -- with a fake dynamite trigger in the middle.

Mama June says she never saw her kids as just a means to make money ... this despite her daughter Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson claiming her love was all about cash in the upcoming  "I Was Honey Boo Boo" Lifetime biopic.

If you haven't seen the trailer ... the movie's a biopic, but Thompson really appears in the clip -- making comments in between some of the sequences from the film.

At one point, she says "I wanted Mama, but her love was only transactional."

1:49 PM PT -- Chuck Liddell's attorney Juliana Moiola tells TMZ ... "After quashing numerous false allegations against Chuck, the parties reached a divorce settlement outside of court. Chuck is a great father. He has always and will continue to put his children first. Chuck looks forward to moving on with his new fiancée, Heidi Rae, and glad this chapter of his life is behind him."

Chuck Liddell and his wife Heidi have officially finalized their divorce ... bringing a close to a longtime split.

The former MMA star and his ex-wife of more than a decade settled their divorce earlier this week, according to documents obtained by TMZ  ... almost four years after he initially filed.

According to documents, Chuck and Heidi are sharing joint legal and physical custody of their two minor children ... with the two alternating holidays every year.

Alijah Arenas' Cybertruck ended up wrapped around a tree in an L.A. suburb early Thursday morning -- and the cause is still a mystery -- but investigators do NOT believe alcohol or drugs were a factor.

TMZ Sports spoke with our law enforcement sources ... and we're told LAPD didn't observe any signs of intoxication at the scene, just moments after the 18-year-old 5-star recruit was pulled from his burning vehicle around 4:55 AM.

After Arenas was transported to a local hospital, cops followed up ... but the soon-to-be USC basketball star was already intubated (tube down his throat), so no blood draw was done.

Donald Trump's usually the one getting mimicked, but the 47th prez was one doing the mimicking on Friday ... pulling off his best Mel Kiper Jr. impression, blasting NFL execs for failing to draft Deion Sanders' son!

Trump took to Truth Social to let his frustrations fly before the second round of the NFL Draft officially kicked off ... after 23-year-old Shedeur Sanders was NOT selected Thursday night.

"What is wrong with NFL owner, are they STUPID? Deion Sanders was a great college football player, and was even greater in the NFL. He's also a very good coach, streetwise and smart!" Trump wrote.

Kanye West claims he's in need of a flux capacitor ... so he can go back in time and choose to have kids with Paris Hilton instead of Kim Kardashian!!!

Ye made the wacky revision on Digital Nas' recent livestream while urging someone on the phone to imagine the possibilities of a Ye and Paris hook-up.

If he had his way, there'd be Yeezy x Hilton hotels galore!!!

The serious car crash that sent 5-star hooper Alijah Arenas to the hospital with serious injuries was likely caused by excess speed, law enforcement sources tell TMZ Sports.

The Los Angeles Police Department was on the scene of the 5 AM crash, which occurred along a two-lane residential roadway in the Winnetka neighborhood of the San Fernando Valley, in a 40 MPH zone.

18-year-old Alijah was alone in the Cybertruck -- owned by his father, ex-NBA star Gilbert Arenas -- at the time of the accident ... which was a single-vehicle wreck.

Before this buttoned-up kiddo was headlining Stagecoach Festival, he was just sportin' his spiffy tuxedo and purple bowtie, growing up in Nashville, Tennessee and admiring the music of Three 6 Mafia, Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson.

He started his music career by selling mixtapes out of his car. Slowly but surely he transitioned from rap music to country music. In 2024, he rang in the new year with a rockin' performance in New York City's Times Square.

Need one more clue on who this cute kid turned into? He loves Waffle House!

9:57 AM PT -- Shelly, Sophie Nyweide’s mom, tells TMZ … “We are very distraught and mourning. All I can say is her time acting was brief but very happy. She wasn't a child star in the least and wasn't subjected to anything hurtful on those films. She was always safe on those sets. Please let her rest in peace now.

"My knowledge is she was using drugs and was a tiny young woman. She was with other people when she died. I didn't know them. There is an investigation ongoing. The autopsy results are not in. They said it would take 6-8 weeks. So I can't say definitively.”

Actress Sophie Nyweide -- famous for her roles in "Mammoth" and "An Invisible Sign" -- is dead.

Sophie died April 14 in Bennington, VT ... according to her family. The cause of death is unclear.

In an obituary, Sophie's family hints at what led to her early death, saying ... "Sophie was a kind and trusting girl. Often this left her open to being taken advantage of by others. She wrote and drew voraciously, and much of this art depicts the depth she had, and it also represents the pain she suffered. Many of her writings and artwork are roadmaps of her struggles and traumas."

Before this girl wearing her hat backwards turned into an American singer, actress and model ... she was just daringly touching a cactus in Arizona ... but growing up in chilly Chicago, Illinois with her six brothers!

At just 15 years old, this go-getter moved to China to get her music career started -- eventually releasing her songs, "Every Day in Between" and "Uh Oh." She may be pretty like a daisy but you better watch out, because this superhero comes with a powerful shield!

Need one more clue? Her stage name is her father's first name!

Talk about a fatherly sacrifice -- Ben Affleck’s keeping the superhero fantasy alive for his son Samuel ... despite hating every second spent sweating it out in the Batsuit.

Check out the pics -- Ben and his 13-year-old son were out on Easter Sunday hitting up BAIT boutique in L.A., where the actor was spotted loading a DC Batman Hush figure, which retails for just over $400, into his car.

Looks like Samuel, Ben’s son with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, was getting the royal treatment -- 'cause before their toy shopping spree, the father-son duo also made a pit stop at World Market.

Canadian actress Peyton Kennedy was a young teen when she first played Kate -- the shy sophomore at Boring High and A/V Club member -- on Netflix's drama "Everything Sucks" back in 2018.

Joining Kennedy included Sydney Sweeney as the jealous popular drama club student,  Emaline, Jahi Di'Allo Winston -- also a member of the A/V Club -- who falls in love with Kate, Luke, and Rio Mangini as Luke's sarcastic and nerdy best friend, McQuaid.

You may also recall seeing Peyton on "Grey's Anatomy," "The Captive," "American Fable" and "Lavender."

Before their names turned famous, these lil' kiddos were just somebody somebunny who loved decorating eggs, enjoying tasty n' festive meals and of course, Easter egg hunts! Can you guess who these kids are before they cracked open as Hollywood stars?

From Ryan Seacrest to Anna Camp ... and Hilary and Haylie Duff are a just few cuties you'll stumble upon with our gallery of goodies ...

This Calabasas cutie may be the youngest sibling, but her bank account comes with all the dollar $igns ... cha ching!

Brittany Cartwright says her relationship with Jax Taylor is improving when it comes to their kids ... but, they still have an "explosive" dynamic -- and, fans will bear witness to it all on season 2 of "The Valley."

We caught up with the reality television star in Downtown Los Angeles this week ... and, we had to ask her about the second season of the show which premiered Sunday -- and contained some intense moments.

If you haven't seen the ep, spoilers ... Brittany claims Jax flipped a table and hit her with it after he found out she sent a sexy video to her friend even though they were estranged at the time.
