Prosecutors in Oklahoma tell TMZ ... Jeff and Lauren Lowe each pled no contest to a misdemeanor charge of DWI and will pay a fine and court costs to put the incident behind them.
We're told there will be no jail time or probation for either Jeff or Lauren ... with prosecutors saying this is a typical outcome for these types of cases in Oklahoma City.
TMZ broke the story ... Jeff and Lauren were busted back in June after cops pulled them over in a white Range Rover. Police said they were both driving before the bust, which is why both were ultimately hit with the charge.

Matthew Stafford's Wife Furious With Hall Of Fame Talk ... 'He Isn't Done Playing!!!'
Matthew Stafford's wife, Kelly, just went in on everyone who's giving their opinion on the quarterback's Hall of Fame status ... clapping back at the doubters and saying the signal-caller is nowhere near done yet.

Some said yes ... but the majority -- including future Hall of Famer Richard Sherman -- appeared to say no, and Kelly had big issues with that talk.
Stafford's wife took to Instagram late Tuesday evening to blast the discussion ... saying, "We shouldn't be talking about the HOF because he isn't done playing this game."
She added, though, if you don't currently think he belongs in the Hall -- she said he's going to prove you wrong in the upcoming seasons.
"So let's table this talk until he actually retires," she said. "Thank you."
For what it's worth, the talk of Stafford's potential Canton bust was brought up even before the win in the Big Game, with Torry Holt telling TMZ Sports he didn't believe Stafford was on his way to the Hall just yet.
Seems Kelly could truly care less -- saying in her post she's confident Matthew will change minds eventually.
"I can't wait for him to prove you wrong in his remaining years," she said.

2:45 PM PT -- Good news for Adrian Peterson ... the NFL legend will NOT face felony domestic violence charges, despite initially being booked for the serious charge.
A rep from the L.A. DA's office tells TMZ Sports they've elected not to charge the 36-year-old running back.
But, Peterson isn't totally in the clear just yet. The case will now be sent to the Los Angeles City Attorney ... who could opt to bring misdemeanor domestic violence charges against AD.
As for the alleged incident ... sources tell us Peterson attempted to remove his wife's wedding ring, causing minor marks to her hand.
Adrian Peterson's wife is defending the NFL star in the wake of his domestic violence arrest ... saying "at no point" did he hit her.
We broke the story, Peterson was thrown in jail on Sunday after he allegedly got physical with his wife, Ashley, during an argument on a plane at LAX.
Our sources say Peterson was taken into custody after Ashley was seen to have sustained a small mark on her following the alleged altercation.
Ashley, though, posted on her Instagram on Tuesday that Peterson never got physical with her ... saying, "At no point did Adrian hit or strike me."
"Adrian and I had a verbal argument," she added. "Unfortunately, it was on an airplane."
She continued, "This is a private matter between my husband and myself. We ask that everyone respect our privacy so we can focus on what matters most: our children."
For his part, Peterson -- who was booked on a charge of felony domestic violence -- has also denied hitting Ashley ... telling FOX 26 Sports this week that the mark on Ashley was the result of him taking a ring off her finger during their argument.
"Literally that's why I went to jail," Peterson said. "Because the ring left a scratch on her finger."
Peterson added, "We just had a disagreement."

Cody and Brandi Rhodes are leaving All Elite Wrestling -- the superstar couple just announced their departure from the promotion in a shocking move.
AEW CEO Tony Khan just confirmed the news on Tuesday ... saying, "Cody and Brandi Rhodes were integral to the launch of All Elite Wrestling."
Sources tell us there was a fallout between Cody and Tony recently ... as Khan's visibility within the company grew. Of course, Cody -- who served as Executive VP of the company -- was pretty much the OG face of AEW when it debuted in 2019.
"Cody's ability combined with his boldness and his passion for our industry and his love for community outreach helped AEW deliver on our mission to give fans what they needed for far too long -- something new, innovative and lasting," Khan added.
"I have immense respect and appreciation for Cody and Brandi, and I wish them both the best as they move on from AEW."
Cody released a statement as well ... saying, "I have loved my time at AEW. Amazing locker room. Amazing fans. Amazing people."
"The 'revolution' was indeed televised, and I've been incredibly lucky to be part of that."
Here's where it gets interesting -- Cody thanks a number of people in his goodbye statement ... with Khan being first.
"He's taken the baton and run with it, and it was an honor to work for him and to know him on a personal level. He's a beautiful soul," Cody said of his former boss.
We're told Cody is currently discussing a return to WWE. It's unclear if Brandi will follow his lead if Cody signs.
Cody -- the son of legend Dusty Rhodes -- first joined WWE in 2006 ... and went on to become a 2-time Intercontinental Champion, adding several tag team titles as well.
Cody left WWE in 2016 and was critical of Vince McMahon's promotion in the years following ... but that appears to be water under the bridge now.

Is Rob Gronkowski's football career over? If it were up to his girlfriend, it certainly wouldn't be.
TMZ Sports spoke with Camille Kostek in Los Angeles over the weekend ... and she told us straight up she's not ready to see Gronk retire just yet.
"I would love to watch him play football some more," said Kostek, who's been dating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end for years. "He knows that. I tell him."
Kostek, though, said she's not necessarily pushing him to play another season ... explaining she'll support her boyfriend either way.
As for which way the 32-year-old is leaning right now, Kostek said she isn't even sure ... telling us she believes it'll all come down to how he's feeling physically.
"He retired when he wasn't feeling right," Kostek said. "And he came back when he felt good. So, it's really going to be, truly, like a gametime decision."
Gronk -- who is a free agent -- told us just a couple weeks ago that if he had to make a January decision, he would have chosen retirement. But the star football player doesn't have to make the choice for at least another few months.
Hold that breath, Tampa.

Kanye West may consider himself at war with Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian -- but the couple clearly isn't sweating his barbs ... 'cause they're feeling the love in the Big Apple.
PD and Kim were seen grabbing a bite Saturday night in Brooklyn, arriving at a high-end Italian joint called Lilia ... walking up hand-in-hand for what was apparently an early date night head of Valentine's Day on Monday.
As you can see ... they were totally grinning as paps fired away and followed them up to their private tent, where they eventually went in and broke bread just the two of them.
Eventually, they left and beelined it for their waiting SUV, where Pete helped Kim into the back ... and then walked around the other side to join her. They were both rocking shades for this outing -- and they each looked sharp and totally in lockstep coming to and from.
Of course, them standing shoulder to shoulder like this was happening right in the thick of Kim's estranged husband going off the rails in post after post after post ... taking shots at Kid Cudi, and Pete by extension.
The posting has yet to cease, even a full day later ... if anything, they've only gotten worse and much more personal, with no signs of slowing down.
Ye's latest attack is yet another open plea for reconciliation with Kim -- in which he points out that he's trending above the Super Bowl right now ... and, indeed, he's right up there.
KW says he hopes everybody who's married holds their spouse close and lets them know how much they love them, because it can all be over in a flash. He then takes a shot at Pete, whom he calls "Skete," by saying there's always someone like him lurking about.
