Faith Evans & Stevie J Wedding Stuns Friends and Fam ... Where Was the Invite?!
The marriage of Stevie J and Faith Evans didn't just take us by surprise ... their loved ones and close friends were blindsided as well, and they're not happy about it.
Family sources on both sides tell TMZ ... they were never given a heads-up marriage was even a possibility.
We're told there was never talk -- not a hint -- of a wedding. Faith was scheduled to be in L.A. getting ready for a London trip, and Stevie was just in Atlanta for 'Love & Hip Hop' ... so the Vegas rendezvous that ended in "I do" floored everyone.
Our sources say there are a lot of hurt feelings among those close to the couple ... especially their kids. We're told Faith's son, CJ Wallace -- her child with Biggie Smalls -- is especially upset ... because he's also Stevie's godson.
Family sources on Faith's side tell us ... Faith told them Stevie J went to her Tuesday and told her they needed to get married that day. The sources think Stevie J knew if Faith started telling friends and family she was marrying him, they would talk her out of it.
And, get this ... friends and family members were blowing up Faith's phone Wednesday, asking her why she did it. She responded by sending them a song she just recorded with Stevie J called, "A Minute" with the explanation ... it only took a minute to fall in love.

As we reported ... Faith and Stevie tied the knot in their hotel room around 10:30 PM Tuesday. It's his first marriage and her third.
We're told a number of friends and fam are so bitter ... Faith and Stevie won't be receiving wedding gifts.

The pair has only been dating for few months -- he's her first relationship since she split with Grammy-nominated producer Sean Garrett.
There's not a whole lot of info available about Redd's new man ... but his name is apparently Mo, and he goes by Arkansas Mo on Instagram.
Karlie seemed a little more interested in the box the ring came in at first. It's pretty cool ... it displayed a bunch of pictures on an LED screen when she opened it. Her ring ain't too shabby either.

Nick and Joe Jonas Double Date with Priyanka & Sophie ... And 5th Wheel, Kevin
The Jonas Brothers reunited this week with their ladies hanging off their arms -- well, everyone except Kevin ... the only one who's actually married.
Nick and Joe Jonas were spotted hitting up the 34 Mayfair restaurant in London Monday, with Priyanka Chopra and Sophie Turner tagging along for the double date.
Everyone was looking suave as hell, including their older Jonas broski, Kev, who ironically showed up solo as a fifth wheel. He's actually married -- has been since 2009 -- and already has a couple kids with his wife, Danielle. No sign of them here, though.
Maybe Kevin just wanted to impart some long-term relationship wisdom on his little bros by himself ... or maybe he owes Danielle a huge favor for babysitting.

Robert Griffin III Wife Training For 2020 Olympics ... She's Faster Than Me!
Robert Griffin III says his wife wears the (track) pants in their relationship ... 'cause Grete Šadeiko is not only making a run at the 2020 Olympics -- she blows him away in races!!
We got the adorable couple -- and their cute 1-year-old baby, Gloria -- out in Bev Hills when RGIII made the revelation to TMZ Sports.
"Track is her realm," he says. "She owns the track."
Big-time praise for sure ... considering the NFL star once ran a 4.38 40-yard dash and did do some track events at Baylor.
But Grete's legit on the turf ... she crushed the heptathlon at Florida State -- once running 13.92 in the 100-meter hurdles -- and is making a serious run to compete for Estonia in the 2020 Games.
As for the real takeaway from all this ... watch out for baby Gloria in about 17 years!!
