Dating

Blac Chyna didn't waste any time trading one boyfriend for another, because a hot minute after breaking up with Kid Buu -- she's got a new boo by the name of Soulja Boy.

Sources close to both Chyna and Soulja tell us they've been dating for more than a week ... a relationship that blossomed on Instagram, after each slid into the other's DMs. We're told SB and Chyna finally met up at Sean Kingston's L.A. penthouse last week, and things got heated -- in a good way.

Our sources say the two have been inseparable since the rendezvous -- and even hit up some Grammy parties together ... although, everyone thought they were just good friends.

Chyna has had some serious relationship issues lately ... cops were called last month for a disturbance in a Hawaii hotel room where she was staying with Kid Buu. Sources told us Chyna accused Buu of cheating and things got violent ... she allegedly scratched him and Buu slammed her against a wall.

Chyna's mom, Tokyo, recently came out swinging against her daughter ... saying Chyna's kids, Dream and King Cairo, should only live with their fathers -- Rob Kardashian and Tyga -- until she gets her act together.

As for Chyna and Soulja Boy, we're told both wanted to start out taking things slow ... but, that clearly didn't happen.

Ariana Grande's got the only accessories she needs to live her best life ... her smile, her boys and a brand new album.

The "7 Rings" pop star was rollin' deep Thursday night as she was leaving Nobu in Malibu ... where she, along with friends and family, celebrated the release of her new album, "thank u, next."

The highly-anticipated 12-track collection -- her second in the last 6 months -- has been out less than 24 hours and it's already being dubbed a masterpiece and, arguably, her most mature and revealing album to date.

There's a track on it called "Ghostin'" and many fans believe it's about her longing for Mac Miller while she's with Pete Davidson. One of the verses goes, "Though I wish he were here instead. Don't want that living in your head. He just comes to visit me. When I'm dreaming every now and then."

Of course, the first single -- the title track -- became a huge hit when Ariana dropped it back in November. Despite all the success ... Ariana's still dealing with drama over the Grammys.

As we reported ... she called out the show's producer, Ken Ehrlich, for lying about why she's not performing at the Grammys. He said she was too frazzled to pull it together in time for Sunday's broadcast -- but AG called BS, saying Ken stifled her efforts to perform "7 Rings" ... so she said deuces.

More Jeff Bezos related news ... his girlfriend's estranged husband seems to be moving on with a hot young model.

Patrick Whitesell, the husband of Lauren Sanchez and co-CEO of William Morris Endeavor talent agency, hit up The Nice Guy nightclub in WeHo Thursday night, along with Keir Alexa.

Whitesell, a former close friend of Bezos -- who introduced the Amazon honcho to Lauren -- was mum on Bezos' attack on the National Enquirer, claiming the outlet was trying to blackmail him.

Whitesell, who reps Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Amy Schumer, Michelle Williams, John Krasinski and many others, had security who made sure he and the woman could separately beeline it to their waiting ride.

As for Sanchez and Bezos, they've been laying low -- we haven't seen them together for a month.

Halsey's relationship with her new rocker boyfriend doesn't look like a drag -- the 2 seem to be totally into each other ... even when they're just standing around smoking.

The singer was spotted out in WeHo Thursday night with British musician Yungblud, enjoying a cigarette and some PDA while they waited for their ride. We're told the couple had just left a dinner date at Jones Italian restaurant.

Halsey's been hanging with her slightly younger beau since at least November, shortly after breaking up with G-Eazy ... for the second time.

Get those Hikki Cejudella shirts ready ... Nikki Bella just responded to Henry Cejudo's public courting attempts -- and says she's down for a wine date with the UFC champ!!!

ICYMI ... Cejudo's been shooting his shot with Bella all week after meeting her on his flight to NYC for his fight with T.J. Dillashaw last weekend.

In fact -- Cejudo told us he's developed SUCH a crush on the WWE superstar -- he's down to get in the squared circle with her ex-BF, John Cena, to win her love!!

Now, Nikki's responding -- and it's good news for Henry ...

"I said I'd send him some Belle Radici [wine]. Maybe I'll have some wine with him one day -- or, I don't know. We'll see!"

And, hey ... if it doesn't work out -- Brie Bella says her husband Daniel Bryan has the biggest man crush on Henry -- and will take him out if Nikki won't!!!

Speaking of Brie and Daniel -- Bella says they're laser-focused on adding a 2nd child to their family.

"We're working on it -- we're having a lot of fun working on it!"

Kendra Wilkinson and Chad Johnson have moved on from their exes ... and are hooking up with each other.

Hugh Hefner's former famous GF and the "Ex on the Beach" star -- best known for being the villain on JoJo's season of "The Bachelorette" -- were spotted together leaving Rocco's Tavern in L.A. Monday night ... hand-in-hand with big smiles on their faces.

We're told they were inside for about an hour on what looked like a date night, and it appeared to go pretty well.

We broke the story ... Kendra's having a difficult time getting officially divorced from her estranged husband, Hank Baskett. The court rejected the judgment docs early this month because there was an error ... for a second time.

As for Chad, he's doing the reality show thing again on the MTV series ... which also features his ex, Maddie Sullivan.

Looks like Chad and Kendra are both down with a fresh start.

Alexis Skyy will NOT meet Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian's baby girl -- EVER -- 'cause there's a rule in place to prevent that.

Sources close to Chyna tell TMZ that she and Rob have an agreement to not introduce any significant others to their daughter, Dream, within the first 6 months of dating. This is an increasingly common restriction in custody cases, and for good reason. It's not good for a child to develop attachments to people who come and go ... especially after their parents break up.

The operative word in this case is ... relationship. Our sources say, Chyna believes Alexis and Rob are not actually into each other and are only publicly flirting to get under BC's skin. She's convinced that whatever is going on between Rob and Alexis ... it will NEVER last 6 months.

As one source told us, Chyna thinks Alexis is hanging with Rob 'cause she's clout chasing. FWIW, Alexis went on a follow frenzy shortly after Rob called her his WCW, and shortly after her and Blac Chyna's scuffle last weekend ... following just about all of Rob's sisters.

As we've told you ... Chyna confronted Alexis at a house party last week to call her out about past interactions Alexis had with Rob, that Chyna found inappropriate ... especially since BC and Rob were still together at the time.

We're told Chyna knows Rob and Alexis have fooled around in the past, but she doesn't think anything meaningful transpired between them since then.

Usain Bolt and his GF are still going strong ... the two hit up Cabo this week -- and the bikini she was rockin' and the mojitos they were drinkin' say they're doing just fine.

Of course ... Bolt and Kasi Bennett have had a very unique relationship over the years -- 'memba the EPIC hall pass she allegedly gave him during the 2016 Rio Olympics??

But, doesn't seem all that other tail has put a strain on their relationship ... 'cause the two soaked in the Mexico rays just fine on Thursday.

There was rum ... white sand ... and Bennett even flaunted all her assets in a tiny bikini for the ex-track star.

Yeah, Bolt likey.

It all begs the question ... could Usain finally be ready to trade in Olympic rings for wedding ones???

Cristiano Ronaldo claims the former U.K. "Celebrity Big Brother" star who publicly accused him of emotionally abusing and threatening her is lying ... insisting he's never even met the woman.

As we previously reported, fashion model Jasmine Lennard went off on social media this week -- claiming she had secretly dated Ronaldo for a decade and was subjected to all sorts of disgusting behavior, including death threats.

Lennard even posted audio clips she claimed captured Ronaldo making offensive comments -- but there's one huge problem, Ronaldo claims the voice on the tapes is NOT him.

"Mr. Ronaldo has no specific recollection of meeting Ms. Lennard 10 years ago or at any point," his legal team tells TMZ Sports.

"He has not had a relationship with her and he has not had any contact with her, whether in the last 18 months as Ms Lennard suggests, or otherwise."

"The voice notes posted by Ms Lennard on social media are not of Mr. Ronaldo. Mr. Ronaldo will take appropriate legal action in due course."

Jeff Bezos was having a relationship with former "So You Think You Can Dance" host Lauren Sanchez, and according to the National Enquirer, that's what ended his marriage.

Sources closely connected with Lauren and her estranged husband, William Morris Endeavor mega-agent Patrick Whitesell, tell TMZ Lauren was indeed "seeing" Bezos in the later part of 2018. The sources add Sanchez and Whitesell separated last summer and are in the process of divorcing, and her relationship with Bezos did not begin until after her separation.

Same goes for Bezos. We're told he and MacKenzie were also separated when he and Lauren started hooking up.

We're told both Patrick and MacKenzie have known about the relationship for months.

Our sources add, Jeff and MacKenzie have known Lauren and Patrick as good friends for 10 years. Lauren and Patrick have a home in the Seattle area -- where Jeff and MacKenzie live -- and they spend a lot of time there, especially in the summer.

Lauren is an accomplished pilot of helicopters and planes, and a lot of time in the air up there. She owns a helicopter and production company.

And sources tell us, the relationship between Sanchez, who also hosted "Extra," is not "fleeting." It is still going on strong.

Ryan Garcia is one of the fastest rising stars in boxing ... with a 17-0 record and a huge contract with Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions.

But, what he REALLY wants ... is a date with Selena Gomez!!

"She's single so lemme shoot my shot," the 20-year-old told us ... "Lemme take you out!"

Garcia even gave a pitch to Gomez ... saying, "I would protect you, you know!?"

He's right ... dude's got a lethal left hook and has been obliterating opponents since he turned pro at 17 years old back in 2016.

Since then, Garcia has developed a huge following -- with 1.7 million followers on Instagram! He's also starring in a new series "On the Ropes" produced by the Brat digital studio. Dude's killing it right now.

Garcia tells TMZ Sports he's working on closing a deal for his next fight in March -- but he's also seriously interested in fighting Tenshin Nasukawa ... the guy who got beat up by Floyd Mayweather.

"He should fight me," Garcia says ... while making his case for why the two 20-year-olds would actually be an entertaining matchup.

Long story short ... they're more equally matched in size and experience -- but Garcia says the outcome will be the same ... Tenshin gets KO'd.

Trevor Lawrence's girlfriend landed a winner ... and she knew it 2 YEARS AGO ... 'cause she predicted her man would win the national championship back in 2017!!!!

The freshman Clemson star has been dating college soccer player Marissa Mowry since early 2016 ... and while we were doing some research on the dreamy QB's lady, we came across this prophecy from January 9, 2017:

"Two more years then you'll be a National Champ😉 #GoTigers"

Not only was Marissa right ... but the fact that Trevor beat out Kelly Bryant to take over the starting gig as a true freshman and lead the Tigers over Bama in the title game makes this just. plain. FREAKY.

The prediction was bold ... but the confidence in her man was justified -- Trevor was considered one of the greatest high school QB prospects ever.

We've reached out to Marissa for comment (and some lottery numbers) ... so far, no word back.

As if the new 'Bachelor' didn't already know he was a virgin, his suitors (and the show at large) constantly reminded him during the season premiere ... and it got old fast.

Colton Underwood's journey got started Monday night, and as he was meeting the lovely ladies who'll be vying for his heart ...and apparently his crotch. His virginity was on the minds in the mouths of almost every girl. It was awkwardly charming at first, but quickly became a tired gag.

Even worse ... the virgin gimmicks quickly escalated from a chat to full-blown costumes just to land the joke. One girl popped a "cherry" balloon in front of Colton, another teased him with a real peach, and yet another took away his "V" card in a corny magic trick.

But, Alex D. of Boston took the cake (and the award for worst contestant thus far) by creeping out of the limo in a human-size sloth suit and lurching over to him in slow-mo ... staying committed to the whole sloth thing the entire way through.

It was cringeworthy to say the least. Fact is ... Colton's more than just his virginity -- here's hoping the producers of the show realized that before it's too late.

Diddy might want to ask for a refund from his former trainer ... because sources claim the guy he hired to keep Cassie in shape was banging her on his dime ... but she says his timeline is wrong.

Here's what we're told. Diddy's trainer, Jamal Liggin, got so busy he hired several trainers as backup, including Alex Fine. Diddy tagged Alex to train Cassie over the last year.

As we reported, Diddy and Cassie broke up several months ago after a decade-long relationship, but our sources claim Cassie and Alex hooked up before the split. We're told what especially galls Diddy ... he paid Alex to train his then-girlfriend and feels betrayed.

Cassie sure seems smitten with Alex. She has not ever publicly talked about a timeline, but we're told Diddy is convinced there's an overlap.

Sources connected to Alex and Cassie insist the two did NOT start dating until after she broke up with Diddy.

Diddy has bigger issues to deal with, like raising his 3 children after the death of Kim Porter in November. Diddy was destroyed when Kim died, saying they were more than soulmates.

Ariana Grande is about that single life heading into the new year, and probably for the rest of her days ... according to her, anyway.

Ari responded to an article on Tuesday which speculated on who she's been seeing lately by hilariously tweeting, "can they tell me too?" She followed up with, "spoiler for the rest of this year / probably my life: it's no one. please refer back to this tweet for future questions."

It goes without saying ... AG's had it rough this year in the love department. She called off her engagement with 'SNL' star Pete Davidson ... and, of course, her ex, Mac Miller, tragically died of an accidental overdose from a mix of fentanyl and cocaine.

Ariana seems to be joking about the never dating again thing, but her point is coming through loud and clear ... her dating life shouldn't be the subject of such scrutiny in 2019.

Have you heard her new single yet? It's her ... she's single.

#thankunext

Trey Songz put rumors that he's been dating Steve Harvey's 21-year-old stepdaughter to rest on Monday ... by confirming they're absolutely boo'd up heading into 2019.

The R&B singer was performing at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco for New Year's Eve and people couldn't help but notice a girl was clinging to his back with her arms wrapped around his torso as he sang. Well, that was Lori Harvey ... Steve's youngest stepchild.

She showed up on his Insta story earlier in the night wearing the same gold dress that was seen on the chick wrapping him up. No question ... it was her, and they're into each other.

Trey and Lori have been hanging out a lot through the holidays, and it now seems they're an item in the new year.

Lori's an up-and-coming model who's walked for Fashion Week in Milan and Paris. It's clear why she's caught his eye ... she's gorgeous.
