Ari Lennox IG Official with New Boo Thang ... 'Married at First Sight' Star
Forget a hot girl summer for R&B star Ari Lennox, 'cause she's all boo'd up.
The First Lady of J. Cole's Dreamville Records hit Instagram Thursday to reveal she's been chilling heavy with Keith Manley II of "Married at First Sight" fame.
Both appear to be in San Diego for a wedding with Ari sharing pics of the pair together and Keith giving it a more subtle touch with a pic of their hands bound in a loving grasp.
Keith appeared on the 9th season of 'MAFS,' and enthused audiences with the ups and downs of his marriage to Iris Caldwell ... but obviously, they're not a thing anymore.
In an interview with Essence last year, Ari revealed how she had trouble landing a man because they were scared of her dog: a large male Akita.

Galactus, the pooch, certainly wasn't an obstacle for Keith because they appear to be head over heels for one another. Congrats to the new couple!

Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Assured Top-Level Protection In U.K. ... After Seeking Legal Action
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been reassured their family will be well protected when they touch down in Britain today, a day ahead of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Weekend ... this coming after Harry threatened legal action to keep his kids safe.
The Met's Royalty and Specialist Protection unit has been working with Harry's crew to get him taxpayer-funded officers over the past weeks ... the family will get armed police protection while at royal events or at Frogmore Cottage where they'll be staying.
The protection won't be around, however, for smaller social events -- like hanging with friends or hitting up a pub.
As we reported, Harry's legal team appeared in court in February during a hearing to reinstate his family's protection ... when they removed themselves from the royal family, they lost their public-funded protection in the U.K., having to pay for their own security while in America.
Harry feared his children, 3-year-old Archie and 11-month-old Lilibet, wouldn't be safe in the place he calls home ... his lawyer added, "It should go without saying that he wants to come back: to see family and friends and to continue to support the charities that are so close to his heart."

Jennifer Lopez is finding all sorts of ways to show off her love for her soon-to-be husband Ben Affleck … just ask her manicurist.
J Lo just got a set of fresh nails ... which included the initials "J" and "B" on her ring finger and a heart on her middle finger … courtesy of celebrity manicurist, Tom Bachik.

Of course, J Lo's huge green diamond ring was the perfect touch to the nail art in the photos.
As we've told you, J Lo announced that she and Ben got engaged (again) back in April -- nearly 20 years after he first asked Jen for her hand in marriage. We spotted that she had been wearing her massive diamond on her ring finger a little before ... and lo and behold!
The longtime lovers first got engaged in 2002, but called it quits in 2004, before they got married. They ended up rekindling about a year ago and the rest is history.
Surely, they have a lot on their plate as they hunt for a house to blend their families together ... and get ready to say "I do".
But first ... a fresh mani to honor her fiancé is top on the priority list 💅

1:14 PM PT -- 5/31 -- The Dallas County Sheriff's Dept. said in a statement to TMZ Sports ... the Medical Examiner's Office has confirmed Gladney and the 26-year-old woman he was dating, Mercedes Andrea Palacios, died in the crash.
6:26 AM PT -- 5/31 -- The Dallas County Sheriff's Dept. has released more info on the tragic accident ... saying two people -- a male and female -- were found dead in a white overturned vehicle around 2:30 AM.
Police are not identifying the victims by name, but the white car -- which is believed to be Gladney's -- was allegedly speeding when it clipped a second vehicle from behind at the time of the crash, according to preliminary info.
It's unclear how fast Gladney's vehicle was moving at the time of impact.
The white vehicle struck a pier beam on the freeway and flipped into a grassy area. The other vehicle had two occupants who were not injured.
Cops are expected to release further details on Tuesday.
Jeff Gladney, Arizona Cardinals cornerback and former 1st round draft pick, died early Monday morning following a car accident in Dallas.
He was only 25 years old.
The details surrounding the fatal Memorial Day crash are not yet clear.
Gladney, born in Texas in 1996, was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings with the 31st overall pick in 2020 ... after starring at TCU.
The standout corner played in all 16 games for the Vikes in 2020 ... racking up 81 tackles (63 solo).
However, Jeff was cut by Minnesota in the summer of 2021 after being accused of assaulting his girlfriend. The case ultimately went to trial, and Gladney was found not guilty. But, because the trial took time, JG was forced to sit out the entire 2021 season.
After the not guilty verdict, he was free and clear to resume his very promising football career. In fact, the Cardinals just signed Jeff to a new contract in March 2022.
Gladney's agent released a statement, saying ... "We are asking prayers for the family and privacy at this most difficult time."
The NFL world is also mourning the passing. The Cardinals organization issued a statement addressing the tragic news.
"We are devastated to learn of Jeff Gladney's passing. Our hearts go out to his family, friends and all who are mourning this tremendous loss."
Jeff's former TCU teammate, Eagles WR Jalen Reagor, is grieving the loss of his close friend.
"Lost my Brother, my best friend, my right hand man… ain't too much more I can take man damn! R.I.P Jeff Gladney, brother watch over me please."
New Cardinals teammate J.J. Watt spoke on the tragedy, writing "Horrifying news to hear this morning. Just tragic. Rest In Peace Jeff."
The Vikings also issued a statement.
"We are saddened by the tragic death of former Viking Jeff Gladney. Our hearts go out to his family and friends, as well as the Arizona Cardinals organization and Jeff's current and former teammates and coaches who are mourning his life lost much too soon."
Rest in peace.

Cardi B and Offset took a stroll in Cabo Saturday ... and on the way to their yacht, some young salespeople showed off their finest merch, and Offset couldn't resist.
We're told the rapper bought a few bracelets from the kids ... the little ones look pretty happy they made a sale, running off with some big smiles. Cardi and Offset left land behind for drinks on their yacht after the big purchase.
Their Mexico vacation kicked off last week, and the mother of 2 got a beachside view of quite the show Saturday -- a yacht sinking faster than the Titanic!
I can’t believe I’m actually watching a yacht sink pic.twitter.com/dLL3ZJJv9R

Kim and Pete A Little Kiss, a Little Tongue!!!
Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson are more than ready to show the world -- they're in love.
They posted vid Sunday ... matching from head to toe. They both have bleached their hair blonde and are decked out in black outfits. And, then ... they kiss for all to see. And, then show a little tongue!
Most people thought this would be a short-term, rebound relationship for Kim, however, it's clearly anything but. They did a photoshoot together last week and they're now fixtures in each other's lives.
This is all going down in L.A. Pete, a lifelong New Yorker, is spending a lot of time on the West Coast, and he seems poised to move out here permanently after his exit from 'SNL.'
Kim's no longer walking on eggshells over all the Kanye drama. She even lashed out at him on her Hulu show, essentially saying she made a mistake protecting Ye at the expense of her family.
That said, they still have to co-parent their 4 kids, but it seems intermediaries are handling a lot of the details. They rarely if ever speak anymore.

Just goes to show ... relationships go a long way, in and out of love. Congrats!

Pete Davidson Back in La La Land with Kim ... Take Off Your Shower Cap and Smile!!!
Pete Davidson has ventured West -- no, not THAT West -- after his exit from 'SNL.'
Pete's back in L.A. with GF Kim Kardashian. Kim was doing a photo shoot for SKIMS at her office — and Pete was hanging out.
Pete was decked out in a shower cap -- covering his bleached mane -- while KK rocked a pretty snazzy bodysuit.
The decks are now cleared for Pete to move to L.A. He hasn't said where he'll land, but he wants to do more movies so the City of Angels seems to be the place that makes the most sense.
Also, it's now undeniable -- his relationship with Kim is super serious, so enough of the bicoastal crap already.
If Pete does move to L.A. ... it's unclear where he'll live, but he DOES have options.
For Kim's part, she's thrown down the gauntlet with Kanye, telling her family she will never hurt them to protect the man she's with. Doesn't seem to be an issue with Pete.

Kawhi Leonard isn't getting a ring this season, but his girlfriend certainly did -- the NBA superstar's lady was spotted wearing a massive rock on THAT finger at the airport on Tuesday.
Which begs the question -- did the longtime couple get engaged?!?
TMZ Sports has obtained pictures of the Klaw and Kishele Shipley arriving at LAX ... and the mother of two had a shiny, new accessory on her left ring finger.
Leonard and Shipley have been dating forever -- they first met at San Diego State and have been inseparable ever since. They have two children together, born in 2016 and 2019.
In other words, if wedding bells are ringing ... it shouldn't come as a surprise.
What's interesting -- we caught up with Kawhi and Kishele shortly after the pics were taken ... and it appears she removed the ring from her hand.
Kawhi missed the whole 2021-22 season with an injury ... so if they are, in fact, engaged, it's nice to see he made the most of his time off the court.
We reached out to Kawhi's people for more information ... so far, no word back.

Kourtney & Travis Mr. and Mrs. Looks Good on Us!!!
Kourtney Kardashian's telegraphing a not-so-subtle reminder to the world she's a Barker now -- and it's written all over her and Travis Barker too ... in case you've been under a rock.
The newlyweds were still in Portofino, Italy Monday night, and rocked matching white leather jackets -- one embroidered with "Mrs. Barker" on the back, and the other with "Mr. Barker."
As we've told you, Kourtney was quick to take Travis' last name on Instagram ... changing her profile Monday evening to Kourtney Kardashian Barker.
One thing that hasn't changed is their penchant for serious PDA!!! Trav and Kourt were still all over each other during their evening outing -- just a day after saying their "I Dos" before family and friends.
Their over-the-top wedding -- their 3rd one -- was held at the stupidly scenic seaside compound of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana.
While we don't know if Kourtney's planning to legally take Travis' name, the jackets and IG change are strong hints she will do exactly that -- if they ever come back from Italy.
Married life still agrees with them. Buona serata!!!

Cruisin' the World Cruise Ship Becomes Home to Retired Couple ... Way Cheaper than Seattle!!!
A couple in Seattle Washington decided the cost of living there was too damn high, and their solution was to ship out and stay ... because they're now living pretty much full time on a cruise ship!
Richard and Angelyn Burk were fed up with shelling out $3,500 a month for basics, which did not include food, transportation or entertainment. So, they started thinking ... hmmm, we love to travel, we love cruisin' the oceans and low and behold ... it's way cheaper!!! They figured it would cost them $100 a day on a cruise ship and that's all in.
So, 51-year-old Richard, who had just retired as a computer programmer in 2019, and his 53-year-old wife hopped onboard a cruise ship and pretty much stayed there, calling the ocean liner their home.
They do become landlubbers in between cruises, and they usually stay in Airbnbs or hotels.
They're currently on land, but will hop aboard again in July for back-to-back cruises which will last 9 months.
As for where they've gone ... they've taken a Carnival cruise to the Mexican Rivera and a Holland America cruise to the Panama Canal, among other destinations.
