Couples

The only downside to getting a $2 million engagement ring, is having to protect the engagement ring -- but Paris Hilton's hired some full-time muscle to get the job done.

Sources close to Paris and her fiance, Chris Zylka, tell us they've had 24/7 security shadowing them -- and specifically the ring -- ever since he put a ring on it last weekend.

We're told Paris feels it's best to have someone on guard at all times because of the rash of celeb burglaries this past year ... including the jewelry heist at her aunt Kyle Richards' house. There's also the Paris ordeal her former BFF, Kim Kardashian, endured.

Our sources say Paris already has around the clock security at her home. The ring squad is always with her and that rock, but they're in street clothes ... so it's not so obvious.

Nicki Minaj and Nas are donzo and she's definitely NOT pregnant ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ ... the rappers broke up a few weeks ago after the relationship ran out of steam. They've been dating since June 2017, but we're told living in different cities was just too much.

There were recent reports Nicki was pregnant, but we're told there's no truth to that.

Both superstars will be getting back to strictly biz, we're told -- Nas focusing on his record label and his chicken and waffles joint, Sweet Chick. Nicki's also juggling multiple business ventures outside of music.

We're told they respect each other, and there won't be any trash talking -- but, on the other hand, we're also told they won't be hanging out as friends either.

While all evidence points to Nicki and Nas trying REALLY hard to make it work -- sometimes ya just gotta cut bait.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have poured boatloads of cash into their Hidden Hills home over the past few years, but it was all worth it ... because the house is now $20 million ABOVE water.

Sources tell us ... the couple sunk around $20 mil into renovations since they bought the property -- once owned by Lisa Marie Presley -- in 2014 for $20 mil. It's been in a constant state of design, re-design, construction and expansion -- not to mention all the landscaping -- until they finally moved in a few weeks ago.

Now get this ... we're told Kim and Kanye had the property appraised ... and the estimated value is $60 million. Do the math, and they're in the black $20 mil.

Michael Jordan's oldest son is engaged ... and he popped the question with a diamond ring the size of a knuckle!!

29-year-old Jeffrey Jordan recently proposed to his longtime GF, Radina Aneva ... and she said, "Yes!"

Aneva works in the film industry in Los Angeles. Jordan is a former college basketball player, the oldest of MJ's 5 kids and goes by the nickname, "Heir Jordan."

No word on when the wedding will go down, but the two are definitely in planning mode.

Congrats!

Meghan Trainor and her "Spy Kids" star fiance are still basking in the glow of their recent engagement -- y'know that period where a simple stop on a street corner means let's make out.

Meghan and Daryl Sabara puckered up Wednesday during a stroll around WeHo. We'd say the smooch left 'em both feeling pretty good -- they walked off giggling, hand-in-hand.

As we reported ... Daryl got on one knee for Meghan just a couple days before Christmas, which also happened to be her 24th birthday.

Colin Farrell's lunch date went from good to bad ... to downright ugly in just a matter of minutes.

Colin and his rumored GF, Kelly McNamara, grubbed in L.A. Wednesday. That's the good for Colin -- she's a catch -- but the look on Colin's face as they walked to his car says it all. They were greeted by a parking ticket ... and even ran into the cop who dropped it on them.

Looks like the officer pointed out the parking sign. For next time.

There goes the $63 that woulda fixed the tear on that shirt.

Offset and Cardi B are giving props to Paris Hilton for her new giant engagement ring, but Offset's hinting he got a way better deal when he scooped up Cardi's rock.

The hot couple was doing some shopping in Bev Hills Wednesday when we asked what they thought of Hilton's $2 million piece from Chris Zylka. The Migos rapper tells us it's in the same ballpark as the one he got Cardi ... despite the $1.5 mil difference.

For the record, Cardi's bling weighs in around 11 carats, while Paris's ring is 20. Simple math will tell ya ... Offset's a smart shopper!

We also ask if they think they should be headlining at Coachella -- both are on this year's Sunday lineup -- and we think it's a yes, but we'll let Offset speak for them.

Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber were hot and sweaty for each other Wednesday afternoon, but it was likely only because of the pilates class they just left.

Fresh off a New Year's trip to Cabo San Lucas, the back-on couple looked like they needed some water leaving their West Hollywood hot pilates class after an intense workout.

They've been enjoying a much healthier and active lifestyle together since getting back together a couple of months ago. Selena's often on the sidelines watching Bieber's hockey games, but looks like they've found an activity they can do together.

Paris Hilton can't take her eyes off her new BFF ... and we're not talking about her fiance Chris Zylka.

Paris had a laser lock on the giant 20-carat, $2 million engagement ring Tuesday as the couple took a romantic stroll around Aspen.

Not on accident -- of this we're sure -- Paris was wearing fingerless gloves, but no glove could hope to contain that gem.

As we reported, Zylka popped the question mid-mountain over New Year's weekend -- and he's probably been competing with the rock for Paris' attention ever since.

Guess Baker Mayfield's over that Rose Bowl loss ... because the Oklahoma QB hit up Staples Center to watch the Clippers on Tuesday night with absolutely no worries.

Mayfield arrived to the game with a hot lady friend -- and the two sat pretty close to the court to watch former OU stud Blake Griffin ball out.

The 22-year-old future NFL Draft pick was still rocking his Rose Bowl hat -- so, can't be too upset, right?

For the record, the Clips beat the Grizzlies ... with Blake droppin' 21 points.

Tamar Braxton's making it perfectly clear -- she's NOT back together with her estranged husband ... but says they do agree it's time to protect their son from their public spats.

We broke the story ... Tamar and Vincent Herbert traveled together Tuesday morning. She declared they're still a family, but he made it seem like there was a reconciliation coming when he said, "God is good."

Tamar put the kibosh on that, saying ... "NOPE! Sorry! Not together but since the craziness the other day, we DID agree to create a better environment for son!!"

The "craziness" would be Vincent's Christmas Day arrest, which she says was triggered by booze and jealousy.

Paris Hilton's monstrous diamond engagement ring is worth about $2 million -- but the crazier part is when Chris Zylka knew she was the one, and ordered the rock.

Celeb jeweler Michael Greene, who designed Paris' multi-million dollar bling, tells TMZ ... Chris reached out to place his order 5 to 6 months ago, back in the summer.

Keep in mind ... Paris and Chris had just gone public with their relationship back in February, so it was likely less than a year into things that he decided he wanted to lock down Paris.

Greene also tells us the huge diamond -- 20 carats strong -- took about 4 months to cut, and the setting only took a couple days. He says Chris came in to get it right before their Aspen ski trip.

We're told Chris was shaking when he picked it up because he was "so nervous." With that kind of hardware in his pocket, we would be too.

Paris Hilton is engaged to her actor BF Chris Zylka ... and hopefully this one will stick.

Paris revealed the news Monday, saying the 'Leftovers' actor got on one knee during a holiday ski trip in Aspen over the weekend.

Chris and Paris have been dating for a little less than a year now -- they made their relationship Instagram official in February. She seemed smitten with him back in March when we got 'em at LAX.

People first reported this engagement -- which is at least her second, and possibly third. She was reportedly engaged to Jason Shaw, and was definitely betrothed to Paris Latsis.

Based on previous attempts, her parents probably won't buy it until she actually walks down the aisle. Congrats!

Jennifer Lopez is a MACHINE!!!!!

Check out footage of J Lo and A-Rod during a couple's workout in L.A. the other day -- crushing burpees and medicine ball slams.

Notice anything? Like how Jennifer Lopez is faster, more explosive and more energetic than the WORLD CLASS ATHLETE STANDING NEXT TO HER!!

J LO!!!!!!!!

Of course, A-Rod's built more for power than speed ... but still, watching Jenny from the Block murder this workout is probably the motivation you need to actually get to the gym in 2018.

Diddy's girlfriend needed a little sun before a little bubbly for New Year's -- and she definitely got it ... on all sides.

Paps got Cassie hitting the beach in Miami hours before her guy threw a blowout of a NYE party at their house -- where Diddy ended up helping a drunk woman who'd passed out.

Eva Longoria's comfortably embracing her 4-month-old baby bump to ring in the new year ... in PJs, no less.

The "Desperate Housewives" star posted her first public photo of her pregnant belly Monday with the caption ... "New year, new adventures! I’m so grateful to my beautiful family for giving this new baby so much love already! #HappyNewYear #2018."

As we reported ... Eva and her hubby, José Bastón, are expecting their first child together -- which would be Eva's first baby ever. Her rep confirmed she's preggo with a boy.

Looks like the kid's gonna be welcomed with open arms. Congrats!
