Dating

Kim Kardashian wants a judge to make her single ASAP ... because Kanye West's Instagram posts are hurting her emotionally, and all she wants now is to move on and co-parent in a healthy manner.

In new court docs, obtained by TMZ, Kim says it very directly, "I very much desire to be divorced." She tells the judge she's asked Kanye to keep their divorce private, "but he has not done so," and talks about Kanye's barrage of social media posts about their relationship.

Kim says, "Kanye has been putting a lot of misinformation regarding our private matters and co-parenting on social media which has created emotional distress."

As we've reported, Kanye's accused Kim of kidnapping their daughter, Chicago, says she's accused him of ordering a hit on her, and gone after her for allowing North to be on TikTok.

Kanye had also asked to prevent Kim from transferring assets out of any trust. Kim says that ridiculous -- they have a prenup which keeps all their trusts and other assets separate, and Kim needs access to her trust to run her businesses. And, in the docs, Kanye's lawyers recognize the prenup is valid.

She also notes Kanye's lawyers acknowledge they're having trouble getting through to him. In October 2021 they wrote to Kim's attorney about trying to break down the prenup for Ye, saying ..."But as you also know, we face challenges in communicating with our client -- and the validity of the prenup (with all of its related legal implications) is a heavy issue to broach."  The upshot -- it seems Kanye isn't throwing up the roadblocks -- his lawyers are, because Ye isn't involved.

Kim bottom lines her request for single status by stating ... "While I wish our marriage would have succeeded, I have come to the realization that there is no way to repair our marriage. Kanye does not agree but at least it appears that he has come to the realization that I want to end our marriage, even if he does not."

She adds that she needs to be single, so "I can begin the healing process and so that our family can begin the healing process and move forward in this new chapter in our lives."

NLE Choppa isn't down to mess with women his age -- he's looking for older women who won't blink at signing a prenup!

The rapper's the latest guest on the "It's Tricky With Raquel Harper" podcast ... and he's getting pretty deep about relationships, saying he knows exactly what he's looking for ... even at the age of 19.

He's convinced women his age just don't have the right priorities. He told Raq, "If you at that age, you still learning ... I know like, what I want for myself."

When the topic of marriage came up, he didn't shy away from it ... but quickly made it clear his bride-to-be will have to sign on the dotted line -- as in, an ironclad prenup. Choppa's message for any interested women is you get what you deserve, not what you want ... when it comes to finances.

One woman who's definitely caught his eye is fellow artist Saweetie -- he called her a "beautiful lady." Now, he does have a GF already and when Raq followed up, asking what would happen if he had to choose between a night with Saweetie or his current boo, he says ... "Me and my girl gon' see what's up..."

Translation: The more the merrier!!!

Kanye West had at least one guest of honor by his side behind the scenes at his "Donda 2" listening event ... and she looks an awful lot like his estranged wife.

We got photos of Kanye backstage at LoanDepot Park in Miami Tuesday night joined by Chaney Jones aka the Kim Kardashian look-alike. Chaney was decked out in a white bodysuit, heels and sunglasses as she accompanied Ye through the arena.

Chaney sported a serious expression, but there was at least one pic where Kanye was seen with a big smile on his face while the two walked together.

And get this ... Chaney's sunglasses are identical to the Rick Owens pair Kim wore to Kanye's very first "Donda" listening event in Atlanta back in August ... safe to say she's taking the lookalike thing to new heights.

At least two of Kanye's kids -- North and Saint -- were at the event ... but unlike his recent shows in L.A. and Chicago, Kim Kardashian was not in attendance -- she was in Milan.

Of course, Kanye was recently dating Julia Fox, but that ended a couple weeks ago. He's now been spotted with Chaney in various cities since the split with Fox ... so it would appear things are heating up between the two.

The listening event marked the first time fans were able to hear "Donda 2" however, the event had some serious audio hiccups. During his performance of "Jail 2" Kanye tossed his mic out of frustration, and did not perform a single verse after the incident.

The Weeknd had himself quite a weekend -- not only hooking up with a new flame in Simi Khadra ... but linking with an old pal in Drake, who was there for the good time.

Drizzy just posted some photos that showed him having a ball with Abel in Vegas during the latter's 32nd birthday celebration at Delilah. The shots feature Drake and Weeknd embracing in the DJ booth ... and generally enjoying themselves in the lounge and surrounding casinos.

The caption he included ... "We’ve done everything like it’s nothing…isn’t that something." If you aren't familiar, Drake and Weeknd are close buds and longtime collaborators.

Like we told you, Champagne Papi was far from the only celeb in attendance -- Swedish House Mafia was also on hand, as was Kaytranada.

More importantly ... Simi Khadra from twin duo Simi Haze was nearby ... and locking lips with the birthday boy, as seen in exclusive video we obtained.

There have been rumors they're seeing each other, and the clip seems to confirm they're more than just friends.

Looks like The Weeknd has got his eye -- and lips -- on a new woman ... Simi Khadra, from the twin duo "Simi Haze."

The Weeknd was throwing himself a birthday bash Saturday night at Delilah in Vegas ... the club was packed with folks celebrating his 32nd b-day. It was around 2 AM when he and American-Palestinian DJ Simi Khadra were seen making out like there was no tomorrow.

There's been a buzz the two have hooked up ... this clip seems to confirm it!

The club was playing The Weeknd's hits long into the night, and they even had cocktails created just for him. Simi chronicled the bday trip on her Insta story. Drake was also in attendance, and Swedish House Mafia and Kaytranada both hit the DJ booth.

A few months ago, rumors started spreading the grammy-winning singer was dating Angelina Jolie ... even putting lyrics in his last album about his "new girl" who's a "movie star."

Pete Davidson's return to Instagram is gonna get really interesting really quickly, because one of his new followers is ... you guessed it, Kanye West!!! Naturally.

In his latest tug-of-war with his ex, Kim Kardashian, Ye followed Pete's new account Wednesday night, and not quietly, either. He left a pretty ominous ALL CAPS comment ... “FOLLOWED”.

He then posted a screenshot of that, but of course, he quickly deleted it.

Pete launching a new IG account is a little ironic -- and maybe defiant -- considering it's the very platform Kanye used to publicly insult him. Just a few days ago, he called Pete a "d**khead" and posted their private messages, where Pete insisted he hopes to squash their beef someday.

You'll recall, Ye also encouraged folks to scream at Pete, if they saw him out in public ... he later posted private texts from Kim, expressing concern for Pete’s safety. And, that's just IG ... the rapper previously threatened to 'beat Pete Davidson's a**' on a song from his Donda 2 album.

So, it's no shocker Pete didn't give Ye a follow back. In fact, the only people Pete is following right now are his boo, Kim Kardashian, and actor Sebastian Stan.

The 'SNL' star actually deleted his account back in 2018 for mental health reasons. He called the Internet an "evil place" ... he joined again briefly, but dropped out again after posting a concerning note.

The odd thing is with Ye lurking and taunting him, the Internet can't seem all that inviting now!

You are not alone ... the annual obligatory Valentine's dinner is a thing celebs gotta do too -- it's just that folks like Chris Pratt, Justin Bieber and Gunna hit more expensive restaurants.

Among the couples spotted out getting their V-Day on were Anthony Davis and his wife at Giorgio Baldi ... while relatively new boos Gunna and Chloe Bailey hit BOA Steakhouse.

Nothing screams we're official like that Feb. 14 dinner date!!!

Other famous lovebirds out in the L.A. area included:

• Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger went to Cafe Vida in Pacific Palisades
• Larry English and Nicole - Tommy's in Beverly Hills
• Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham - Nobu in Malibu
• Justin and Hailey - Nobu in Malibu

Meanwhile, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen were seen grabbing lunch in Beverly Hills. Nice and romantic, right? Well, Chrissy also zinged her Valentine pretty good by revealing the less-than-gushing card John gave her.

She joked (we think) ... "I guess he saves it all for the songs."

Chaney Jones is definitely in Kanye West’s orbit -- but after this latest outing with Travis Scott, you kinda wonder ... who's she really with, anyway???

The IG model/Kim K look-alike was spotted leaving a Dave & Buster’s very early Monday morning in L.A., where TS was also in attendance for a Super Bowl after-party that went late into the night. Rappers Gunna, Lil Baby, Swae Lee and their entourages were all in tow as well.

Travis seemed to be heading out solo, ditto for Chaney. Neither of them was spotted together upon exiting. The interesting thing, of course, is that there’s no Ye in sight here -- and he’s definitely the dude she’s been linked to a lot lately ... at least on the surface.

As you know, CJ has crashed two different events Kanye was also attending -- an album listening party and a movie screening. And, although the two of them have never been photographed together, most people assume she’s someone Ye is seeing at the moment.

And yet ... here she is without him in the mix, seemingly cozying up to Travis and co.

Travis has been out on the town quite a bit lately, despite the fact he just welcomed a new baby with Kylie Jenner ... who’s been at home with the kid. As you know, his name is Wolf -- and he's all of 13 days old now.

Speaking of Trav's baby mama, she proudly showed off a wild flower arrangement he appears to have gotten her for Valentine’s Day.

Simon Leviev is looking to turn his "Tinder Swinder" fame into a legit career, because he wants to break into Hollywood.

Sources close to Simon tell TMZ ... he's already signed with a talent manager, and wants to write a book, star on a dating show and host a dating podcast. Yeah, no shocker ... the guy's got big plans.

Simon's new Hollywood manager is Gina Rodriguez with Gitoni Inc, and we're told they've already discussed a bunch of plans to parlay his newfound Netflix fame into profit and an entertainment career.

We're told Simon's idea for a potential dating show includes women competing for his love ... and he's interested in sharing dating dos and don'ts on a potential podcast.

As you know ... Simon's the subject of the new Netflix documentary in which women -- and law enforcement -- claim he flaunted a lavish lifestyle to women on Tinder, and once he got them hooked, he would convince them to "loan" him money.

When they did, he'd ghost them and allegedly make off with their dough.

Almost like a Ponzi scheme, the Netflix doc claims Simon would use one woman's funds to wine and dine the next, and so on. All told, Simon allegedly swindled over $10 million from his alleged victims before his 2019 arrest.

So, why in the world would anyone trust him -- in or out of Hollywood???

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.

Olivia Culpo can't get enough of her superstar boyfriend Christian McCaffrey ... sharing a smokin' hot bikini photo with the NFL running back on Valentine's Day.

Culpo posted the shot of CMC holding her up in his arms on a vacation in paradise ... captioning the pic with a mushy love note.

"My best friend ❤️❤️❤️ happy Valentine’s Day baby @christianmccaffrey," Olivia wrote on social media.

Of course, the two love birds are no strangers to PDA -- they show their love for each other quite often on trips and in their everyday relationship.

Olivia and Christian are the definition of what you would call "couple goals" ... and are easily one of the hottest duos around.

CMC and Olivia have been dating since 2019 ... and have always made it a point to show love and affection to each other -- especially on special days like birthdays and holidays.

It’s splitsville for Kanye West and Julia Fox ... thus capping off a whirlwind romance that was pretty short-lived and, evidently, not all that serious to begin with.

A rep for the actress confirms to TMZ that the couple is dunzo -- saying “Julia and Kanye remain good friends and collaborators but they are no longer together.” They'd only been dating for about a month and change ... like we said, nice and quick.

No word on when exactly they may have split, but ya gotta figure it might’ve been anywhere between now and well over a week ago. The last time they were pictured together in public was at the beginning of February for her birthday.

FWIW, Julia doesn’t seem all that torn up about it at all. She took to IG and posted since-deleted messages that essentially say ... no hard feelings, bro! JF acknowledges she was never in love with Ye, and seems to have just been going along for the ride in what was clearly a fling.

She also said she “came up” as a result of getting with Kanye -- and, indeed, she did. Her celebrity status got a major boost, as she’s been getting booked left and right for weeks now. It also sounds like she’s got an actual tell-all in the works, where she teased even more tea than what she’s spoken on so far.

As for Kanye, he appears to have moved on already -- being linked to a woman named Chaney Jones, who’s no doubt a Kim K look-alike ... although the two of them have yet to be seen together in photos.

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.

Julia Fox sounds pretty damn confident about her relationship with Kanye West ... 'cause she's at least saying she isn't concerned about him trying to get back with Kim Kardashian.

Julia was on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast and opened up about past run-ins with the law, sexual fantasies and of course, Ye.

"I'm sure there's still some residual feelings, and that's normal, it's human," Fox said about any lingering feelings he has about his estranged wife. She boasted, "I also know that he's with me now. And that's all that matters."

When asked if they have labels, Fox replied, "I call him my boyfriend and he calls me his girlfriend." She even had a response for those that doubt their relationship ... "Time will tell, you'll just see,"

Julia was also asked about her preferences when it comes to porn, and she had some specific genres locked and loaded -- “I’m into weirdly, like, partner swapping and then watching, more [foursomes] vibes,” she shared.

Check out the clip, because she even explains why she's into that. Listen up, Ye!!!

On the topic of a future with her BF, Fox says there have been "us" and "we" conversations happening, but a lot of their relationship has been on a whim and last minute.

Kanye West might have more people in his corner than some anticipated -- including Travis Scott ... and yet ANOTHER Kim K doppelganger.

Ye had a huge get-together Monday night in L.A. with tons of stars coming out for the listening party he held to celebrate his forthcoming album "DONDA 2" -- and the event ended up producing two big stops around town.

First, everyone chowed down at Nobu in Malibu ... with KW walking in wearing a tank top that showed off his toned physique. Not long after that, model Chaney Jones followed him in as well ... and no, you’re not crazy. She's nearly a dead ringer for the rapper’s estranged wife -- from the makeup, down to her outfit.

Anyway, Jones was far from the only person who showed up for Kanye -- like we said, Kylie’s baby daddy also rolled through, standing shoulder to shoulder with Ye on the way out. French Montana was on hand, as was Offset -- and, eventually, they all left for their next destination in West Hollywood.

The gang hit the Sunny Vodka party at the Nice Guy next - which was thrown by Stas Karanikolaou - and that's where the party really got started -- with the likes of Drake, Hailey Bieber and even Kendall Jenner rolling through for the good time. Mr. West’s new Kim clone also went, BTW ... although they were never photographed together at any point.

A couple things we can glean from this -- one, it would seem Kanye’s still got mad love and support from some very famous people in Hollywood ... including a good handful who are very much in the Kardashian inner circle -- this even after recent public and ugly spats with Kim.

Second, and perhaps more importantly, it would appear Ye’s moved on to another woman ... or at the very least, roped another one into his orbit.

There was no sign of Julia Fox anywhere here, and there have been rumors they've gone their separate ways. Not just that, but Kanye was apparently seen hanging with Chaney last week too -- so yeah, seems he’s already on to the next.

Simon Leviev -- aka the "Tinder Swindler" -- is gonna have a hard time finding new victims on dating apps ... because he's been booted from just about everywhere!

A rep for Match Group -- owners of OkCupid, Hinge, PlentyofFish, OurTime, Meetic, Pairs, and Match -- tells TMZ that Simon has been permanently banned from all of their properties ... leaving him out of options when it comes to scamming women.

The rep says he violated the terms of service at Tinder and therefore the other partner companies will also not allow him to create a profile on the other apps.

As we reported ... a Tinder spokesperson told us Simon -- and his many aliases -- would no longer be allowed to open an account on their platform, as he violated their terms of service ... specifically, impersonation and asking for money.

According to the new documentary, Simon would show off his lavish lifestyle to women on Tinder, in hopes of getting their trust and affection. Once hooking them, he'd convince them to "loan" him money ... before he ghosted and made off with their cash.

Much like a Ponzi scheme, the documentary claims he'd use one woman's money to impress the next, and so on. All in all, he allegedly took more than $10 million from his victims.

He was eventually arrested in 2019 and sent back to Israel, where he was released after just 5 months in prison.
