Couples

A$AP Rocky has resurfaced for the first time following his arrest, and Rihanna was right by his side.

The expecting parents hit up RiRi's favorite joint Saturday night -- Georgio Baldi in Santa Monica. The dinner reportedly was a baby shower of sorts with fam and friends. It looks like a combo of casual and fancy.

As TMZ reported, Rocky was arrested Wednesday when he and Rihanna touched down at LAX from Barbados. Cops booked the rapper on the charge of assault with a deadly weapon for allegedly firing a shot at a man and grazing his arm during an argument in Hollywood back in November.

At the same time, police cuffed A$AP ... they executed a search warrant at his home, presumably looking for a gun that matched the one in the shooting. Cops carted out several boxes of stuff.

Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra recently welcomed their baby girl, and now TMZ has learned her name ... Malti Marie!

According to the birth certificate, obtained by TMZ, baby Jonas' full name is Malti Marie Chopra Jonas. She was born just after 8 PM on January 15 at a hospital in San Diego.

Unclear exactly why they picked the name -- but 'Malti' generally means small fragrant flower or moonlight and it's of Sanskrit, Indian origin.

As we've told you, the two shared the exciting news back in January, saying Malti had arrived via surrogate. Priyanka wrote, "We are overjoyed to confirm we have welcomed a new baby girl via surrogate".

A$AP Rocky and Rihanna are doing the ultimate love bird thing that an expecting couple could while on vacation -- soon-to-be Mama Bear looking on as dad takes on Mother Nature.

The singer/fashion mogul was taking in the sights Tuesday down in her native Barbados -- notably, the sight of her baby daddy ripping and roaring through the ocean just outside their vacay home while mounted on a jet ski.

Check it out ... Rihanna is surrounded by some friends/fam, checking in on A$AP with a pair of binoculars as he navigates the choppy waters solo. Seems like she was impressed by what she was seeing, and likewise ... he was pretty happy too. Each of them were all smiles.

Of course, RiRi is heavily pregnant -- it looks like she could pop any day now -- so she definitely wasn't going to join on this particular excursion.

No worries, because A$AP was able to manage just fine on his own ... and before long, he reunited with his lady on land and they headed back inside together. If you didn't believe your eyes before this weekend, you can believe this -- they're very much together.

We'd already been told there was no truth to them splitting over alleged cheating -- it was nothing more than a Twitter rumor that took off like wildfire -- but the proof is in the pudding now that they're in each other's company again, looking super boo'd up, per usual.

Like we said, the future parents aren't just putting on a united front in paradise ... they very much are a united front, for realsies.

Vanessa Bryant is remembering her late husband, Kobe, on their wedding anniversary, posting a throwback photo of the two with a heartfelt message on what would've marked their 21st year as a married couple.

On Monday, Vanessa shared a photo on her Instagram of her and Kobe from their younger days, paying homage to the love the two shared over the years.

"I love you forever, baby. Happy Anniversary @KobeBryant #21" she captioned the pic.

The Bryant's were married on April 18, 2001 ... so this would've been 21 years Kobe and Vanessa celebrated their matrimony.

It's been over two years since Kobe (along with eight other people including his daughter) tragically died in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, CA ... and Vanessa has been doing everything in her power to keep Mamba's name and legacy going.

She recently announced the longstanding partnership between Kobe and Nike -- which temporarily ended last year -- was repaired, paving the way for the release of the "Mambacita Sweet Sixteen" shoe under the Swoosh brand.

Their kids might've been in search of plastic colored eggs this AM, but Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are on a different hunt ... pounding the pavement for their new home.

The couple -- who are newly engaged (again) -- was checking out different properties all throughout Easter weekend ... including on Sunday itself, when they popped up in Bel Air on what appears to be a site that was very much so under construction.

We can't see any actual house here -- it might be getting built as we speak -- but Ben and Jen were out and about taking a look around before heading back to their SUV.

On Saturday, it was more of the same ... only that time, they were in Brentwood looking at a mansion -- and seemed to be taking in the views from up on an elevated portion of the home, where they didn't really seem all that impressed -- at least outwardly.

These are just the latest stops Bennifer's made in their real estate search -- which has been kickstarted again after their deal for the coveted Bel Air estate fell through last week.

Since then, they've perused the Holmby Hills area as well as Bev Hills proper ... peeping massive compounds -- one owned by the ex-wife of Mr. Chow and another designed by Mohammed Hadid -- but it seems they haven't been able to make up their minds yet.

This, of course, comes after they walked away from the would-be $55 million purchase -- which they apparently felt wasn't right for them after entering escrow.

While these fancy abodes are sitting around for the picking among the rich and famous in L.A. -- there's probably a lot that's going into their decision beyond the crib ... especially with their kids in the picture still. So, they wanna make sure they choose correctly here.

Then again, they are set to get married ... so maybe there's a little urgency on the table. Don't wanna drag this out too long -- the engagement or the house-hunt, that is.

Mark Hoppus from Blink-182 has great cause to celebrate, because he's cancer free!!!

We got Mark Saturday night leaving Craig's in WeHo, and he and his wife, Skye, seemed like a heavy weight was just lifted from them ... this, after Mark's oncologist gave him the news, which he says is a great blessing.

Mark handled his cancer battle privately ... he revealed he was dealing with it back in June and was always hopeful, and his optimism paid off. Not to say he didn't struggle ... Mark went through a round of chemo for lymphoma.

Well, now things are good, and he's looking forward to getting back in the studio with Travis Barker and co.

Speaking of Travis, you gotta hear Mark's wife when our photog asks about Travis and Kourtney tying the knot.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are tied at the hip despite breakup rumors … literally, take a look for yourself.

Here’s video, obtained by TMZ, of the couple  at an airport terminal in Barbados Friday -- where they’re shoulder-to-shoulder, and eventually … waist to waist, thanks to Rocky’s wrap-around with his arm.

He brings in her close as they exit … the first glimpse of clear PDA we’ve seen between them since all this nasty gossip surfaced this past week.

Photos of this outing popped up over the weekend, but paps weren’t able to capture A/R embracing like this. It certainly seems to put all this nonsense to bed -- namely, they’re clearly together, and not split up as the internet would have you believe.

We’d already been told by our sources that the whole thing was BS, but now ... here’s visual evidence to prove it even further for those who might still have their (unfounded) doubts.

And in case that wasn’t enough, the woman A$AP is alleged to have cheated on Rihanna with -- Amina Muaddi -- shut it down herself, calling all the speculation an “unfounded lie.”

As you know, RiRi is carrying Rocky’s baby -- and looks like she’s ready to pop any day now. Rihanna announced her pregnancy back in January ... she and Rocky have been dating since 2020, this after knowing each other for years.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are very much together, just like we said they were, despite the internet buzzing that they split.

RiRi and A$AP looked chill as her baby bump was on full display. Rihanna wore a colorful mini dress in what could turn into the modern maternity wear. She certainly pulls it off!

As you probably know, there were stories that A$AP had cheated on Rihanna with a woman who works for Fenty and that they had broken up. As we reported, our R/A sources called BS on both counts and now there's visual proof.

BTW ... the "other woman" -- Amina Muaddi -- also weighed in ... "I've always believed that an unfounded lie spread on social media doesn't deserve any response or clarification, especially one that is so vile. I initially assumed that this fake gossip - fabricated with such malicious intent - would not be taken seriously."

The couple got together back in November, 2020 after being friends for years before hooking up. Rihanna dropped her pregnancy announcement back in January of this year.

"Riverdale" star KJ Apa is setting the record straight, saying he is NOT married to his girlfriend Clara Berry ... at least, not yet.

We caught up with Apa at Blue Bottle Los Angeles, Thursday ... and he cleared up rumors about tying the knot with Clara.

He said, "I don't think we need to put a label on love, but do I want to get married? Yes." ... and if that wasn't telling enough, our photog flat out asked him ... to which he replied no and pointed at his naked ring finger.

Of course, folks have every reason to believe that KJ and Clara may have secretly gotten married ... he hinted at it, himself. In an Instagram post, he referred to the French model as his "wife" ... back in October 2021.

As you may know .. the two confirmed their romance, back in 2020. And, a month before calling Clara his wife, they welcomed their baby boy, Sasha Vai Keneti Apa.

We should also add ... KJ has openly toyed with the idea that he might, in fact, be married to Clara many times but never officially made it clear ... at least, until now.

There's a story buzzing around that Rihanna and A$AP Rocky split because he cheated on her, but a source directly connected to both artists -- who has regular interaction with them -- tells TMZ ... neither the breakup claim, or the cheating is true.

The story that's circulating claims Rihanna called it quits with A$AP after she caught him cheating with shoe designer, Amina Muaddi. Muaddi does have a connection to RiRi -- she's a shoe designer for Rihanna's Fenty brand.

Our source first said, "100% false on both counts," and then added, "1 million percent not true. They're fine."

Worth noting that yesterday -- as the rumor was bubbling up -- Amina reposted recent pics of Rihanna out and about in West Hollywood. That would have been an odd move if she really were cheating with A$AP.

As you know, Rihanna is pregnant with A$AP's baby. Unclear when she's due, but based on pics she seems to be far along. She's on the cover of Vogue this month, and in the issue, she gushes about A$AP and their relationship.

The couple got together back in November, 2020. They had been friends for years before hooking up.

It took 8 months, but Cardi B and Offset are finally revealing their baby boy's name and showing him off to the world -- so get ready to meet Wave Set Cephus!!!

The proud parents both posted pics Thursday of their little bundle of joy, already iced out in Cuban link chains ... with Offset revealing the unique name in the caption.

Cardi posted a different shot of her son ... wearing a baby blue puffy jacket, and you can see Wave Set has a huge iced-out pendant hanging off those Cuban links.

Don't worry ... he'll grow into it.

For the big reveal, the proud parents gathered the whole fam for an Essence photoshoot.

Remember, Cardi gave birth to WS back on Sept. 4, but she and Offset kept the kid's name as secret as the White House nuclear codes.

Back in October, we got Cardi at LAX ... and while talking to us about Offset's upcoming birthday she almost slipped and dropped Wave Set's name. Almost!!!

This is the second child for Cardi and Offset, and his big sister Kulture is now 3-years-old.

Offset also has 3 other children from previous relationships ... 11-year-old son Jordan, 6-year-old son Kody and 6-year-old daughter Kalea.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are still on the hunt for a mega-mansion to call home, but rather than getting frustrated ... they're all smiles as they tour another massive property.

This time, Ben and Jen hit up a 7-bed, 11-bath property in Bev Hills ... and the couple looked thrilled Thursday after their tour. Pretty easy to see why.

This particular not-so-humble abode was designed by real estate mogul Mohamed Hadid, the ex-husband of Yolanda Hadid and father of Gigi and Bella.

Mohamed's got quite the rep in the real estate game, having developed multiple Ritz-Carlton hotels throughout his career ... including a 292-room Ritz resort in Aspen.

The pad Ben and Jen checked out has an outdoor swan pond, a private theater, and even a ballroom, with space for 200 guests -- a sweet amenity for the former "World of Dance" judge and her fiancé.

As we reported, the couple has been looking for a new home after bailing on the one they were set to buy, for around $55 mil.

Thursday's stop is listed for a relatively paltry $32.75 million. As we showed you, they've also recently looked at a home listing for $75M.

Today's home tours are going much smoother than Wednesday's ... when they made a pitstop at Starbucks and drove over a sign in the drive-thru lane. No serious damage was done -- to the sign or their Mercedes -- but everyone had a good laugh.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are not about to get upstaged in Hollywood's publicity wars -- and, obviously, have no problem giving the paparazzi what they want ... a perfectly-timed public kissing session!!!

Ya gotta see the video, J Lo played it perfectly ... as Ben pulled into the driveway Thursday, she rushes up to the car, throws her arms around his shoulders and starts making out with him. Ben even seemed kinda shocked, but quickly got into it.

Jen leaned back on the car and pulled her fiancé in close, rubbing his chest, planting more kisses and staring into Ben's eyes. If you have any doubts they were playing this up for the cameras ... check out the moment BA goes into full movie make-out mode.

We're not saying the sparks aren't real for the recently engaged couple -- we're just saying they went over the top here ... intentionally, we're thinking. They're both pros in the PR game by now, and know what catches fire on the internet.'

Jen even playfully sticks out her tongue at Ben as she hops in the driver's seat.

This make-out sesh must have felt almost as good as sex ... because Ben lit up a cigarette right after Jen left.

Josh Allen's offseason is clearly going well ... after soaking up some California sun on Wednesday, the Buffalo Bills superstar took his smokin' hot girlfriend on a dinner date to an L.A. hotspot.

The couple was spotted heading into Catch in West Hollywood just after sunset ... and the quarterback didn't seem to have too many cares in the world as he walked into the restaurant next to Brittany Williams.

The two looked good on their romantic night out -- Allen was in a black jacket and maroon pants, while Williams stunned in a hot pink mini skirt and heels.

Allen didn't answer the photogs' questions as he strolled into dinner ... but it seems clear, he's moving past Buffalo's super disappointing January playoff loss to the Chiefs.

Allen's been vacationing with Williams -- who he's dated since before his NFL career -- in Cali the last couple weeks, enjoying the offseason and getting over that epic overtime game in Kanas City.

Whether they broke up or not, Jake Paul and Julia Rose are back together in public ... with the couple hitting up an L.A. hotspot on Wednesday.

The rumors of a potential split started swirling last month ... when Jake tweeted "Alexa, play 'I'm Single' by Jake Paul," and Julia removed all references to the boxer from her Instagram.

But, whatever happened is clearly water under the bridge ... as the duo was spotted leaving BOA Steakhouse and getting into an SUV together.

While Jake and Julia weren't saying much after the dinner, the photog congratulated the two on their rekindled romance ... with Jake replying with a short, "ayeee!!"

Of course, Jake and Julia started dating in 2020 and were damn near inseparable -- Julia was always in the Problem Child's corner (literally) and helped him train for multiple fights.

Jake and Julia also posted each other on social media Wednesday ... seemingly confirming their romance is back on.

Jake -- who was at Julia's house when speaking with TMZ Sports this week (peep the posters in the background) -- claimed in a recent interview they never broke up ... saying "that's my girl" and "we were never not together."

Julia's IG activity led folks to believe otherwise ... with the SHAGMAG founder commenting under pics of the boxer with other women, saying it made her feel better about her "decision."

The couple also sparked split rumors in early 2021 ... before coming back stronger than ever.

NBA pro Iman Shumpert and his singer-songwriter wife Teyana Taylor have put their house on the market, and they're angling for a $4 million buyer.

The 5-bed, 6-bath home in Studio City, CA is loaded with cool stuff, including the obligatory pool, movie theater, and even a waterfall. And the big bonus for dog-lovin' buyers ... a custom dog house!

The master bedroom has a massive walk-in closet and a meditation balcony that overlooks the Zen-themed yard.

This isn't the first time Iman and Teyana tried to unload the house -- the couple bought the property in 2018 for just under $3M, listed it for rent and tried to sell it 2 years later for $3.695M. They took it off the market and just relisted it.

We're told they're selling because they spend most of their time on the East Coast so no need for a big place in La La Land.

Sean 'Eitan' Constine of Nourmand and Associates Beverly Hills has the listing.
