celebrity kids

Gilbert Arenas returned to work on Thursday ... fresh off the great news his basketball star son, Alijah, would complete his recovery from home following his serious Cybertruck crash.

The former Wizards guard resumed his spot on the "Gil's Arena" set alongside Josiah Johnson, Brandon Jennings and Nick Young ... and they got right into it by discussing the Lakers' early exit from the playoffs at the hands of the Timberwolves.

Arenas was in great spirits despite what's been going on with his family ... as he arrived in a Homey D. Clown costume (from Damon Wayans' character in "In Living Color") to honor a promise he made on the series.

One of Nick Cannon’s baby mamas is actually grateful he insured his balls for $10 million --  only 'cause if he’s not gonna show up, at least his junk might finally do something useful!

Alyssa Scott’s throwing shade with a smile on her IG Stories after revealing Nick hasn’t seen their daughter in over a month ... so if anything happens to his balls now, at least their child would get a payout.

Alyssa’s tone was dripping with sarcasm, and it def sounds like things have gotten strained between them -- but honestly, it’s not that surprising, especially with Nick juggling so many kids to catch up with.

Robert De Niro is supporting his daughter after she came out as transgender ... telling TMZ she has his full love and support.

The legendary actor tells us ... "I loved and supported Aaron as my son, and now I love and support Airyn as my daughter."

Robert adds ... "I don't know what the big deal is ... I love all my children."

Before these two adorable sisters turned into big social media stars, they were just gettin' messy with paint in Norwalk, Connecticut ... and singing, acting and dancing towards their big dreams of becoming stars ...

Rising to fame on TikTok, their popularity and traction have led them to pursue other dreams and passions in fashion, music and reality TV. At one point, the youngest sister was the most-followed TikToker with over 100 million followers.

One sister is currently on a Broadway show, and they have a family popcorn business ... and a family shoe business.

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!
