Dating

Braxton Berrios is finally opening up on his messy split from Sophia Culpo ... and he's claiming all rumors he cheated on her with TikTok star Alix Earle are 100% false.

The Miami Dolphins receiver has been the center of some spicy allegations recently ... with Olivia Culpo's little sister telling her followers he was spotted out in public with Earle shortly before their breakup, leading many to believe he was being unfaithful.

Sophia has been shading the hell outta her ex and his new girl ever since ... and it's gotten to the point where BB took to Instagram to share his side of the story.

"I don't want to start anything, I don't want to fuel anything," Berrios said in a video. "I genuinely want all this to be over and everybody to move on and do whatever makes them happy."

The former Miami Hurricanes star said his relationship with Sophia was good and healthy ... but at the end, they both realized it simply wasn't working out.

"It had nothing to do with anything else," Berrios said of the January breakup. "It had nothing to do with anybody else for that matter. And we just didn't work out, and that's okay."

"I've been quiet because it's totally out of character for me to talk about my private life publicly, but I feel like it needed to be touched on now."

Lil Uzi Vert and his City Girls girlfriend JT got into a heated argument during the BET Awards ... with many fans believing Ice Spice is to blame for the fight.

Video circulated of JT from the show Sunday night whacking Uzi Vert with her phone multiple times, accusing him of being a "groupie."

Fans speculated she was pissed about Uzi's performance during the BET Awards where he shouted out Ice Spice, rapping, "I got a nice wife/Wig came off twice/She got a little afro, she looks like Ice Spice."

Sources inside JT's camp tell TMZ Hip Hop her blowup with Uzi had nothing to do with Ice  ... she had become frustrated when she lost her seat after the audience shuffled around. We're told JT loves Ice and there's not even a shred of beef between them whatsoever.

A fan recount of the altercation appears to confirm the musical chair's confusion. Ice can also be seen explaining her side of the situation.

Uzi and JT left the building together without another scene ... seemingly confirming they're good.

More social media drama for Selena Gomez -- or so it seems anyway ... especially if you put any stock into her official digital friend count.

The singer is said to have unfollowed a string of famous people of late -- including Dua Lipa, Zayn Malik, whom she was rumored to have been dating in March. Not just that ... but his baby mama, Gigi Hadid, and her sister, Bella, have also been scrubbed from Selena's IG "following" tab.

While it's unclear when Selena might've stopped following these folks, we know for certain they're not there now. And SG was following most (if not all) of them in the recent past.

So the question ... what gives??? And more importantly ... does this actually matter?!?

On its face -- coupled with Selena's history of social media feuds -- it would appear that it does ... especially on the Zayn front. Rumors swirled this past Spring about the two of them seeing each other, not to mention one alleged sighting where they were seen kissing at dinner.

While Selena has since made it clear she's "single" ... the Zayn rumor picked up steam for a while. Obviously, they're both pop stars -- and also seem to run in adjacent circles.

The Hadids and Selena have also palled around over the years -- and as for Dua, she was gushing over Selena just 6 or 7 months ago when asked about the prospect of collaborating with her ... ditto for Selena, BTW, who was quoted as being down in the same article.

Again, we have no idea why Selena unfollowed all of them ... but it points to some kind of falling out, which has been a thing lately for her. Look no further than Francia Raisa ... and let's not forget the whole "mean girls" thing with Hailey Bieber and Kylie Jenner.

Selena tends to mostly mind her business/do her thing ... but every now and then, she's roped into a social media controversy. Whether she's the one initiating it ... debatable.

Eric Bellinger has no qualms with Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good's whirlwind romance, something he's seen up close and personal ... because he's Meagan's brother-in-law!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with the R&B maestro in NYC ... he's been married to Meagan's sister La'Myia since 2015, and he informed us he's not only met Jonathan, but thinks he's a helluva swell guy to be around!!!

We broke the story back in May ... the 2 actors officially became a couple amid Jonathan's assault case with his ex-girlfriend, and Megan was recently spotted supporting him in court, an indication the 'ship is sailing strong.

Eric admits he hasn't inquired about the details of the case, but insists he's seen no reason to grill him ... due to Jonathan's character.

His stamp of approval echoes the thoughts of Meagan's longtime friend and former castmate Robert Ri'chard ... who vouched for her decision-making when we spoke to him on the subject.

Meagan Good has raised some eyebrows in dating Jonathan Majors amid his domestic violence criminal case -- but her old Nickelodeon costar isn't worried one bit.

We got Robert Ri'chard -- who used to costar with Meagan on "Cousin Skeeter" -- out in L.A. Wednesday ... and we cut right to the chase with him, asking if MG is making a mistake by embracing the embattled Majors at such a precarious time.

RR makes no bones about how he feels ... telling us, not only does Meagan have a good head on her shoulders, but that she's a great judge of character ... and has been for years.

He also references her religious background -- MG has been an outspoken Christian for quite a long time now -- and says quite bluntly ... "Meagan is a woman of God." What you can glean from that, it seems, is that she's perhaps seeing something in Jon that others aren't just yet.

Rob also states the obvious ... namely, that people in this country are innocent until proven guilty -- and that Majors deserves his day in court, and for all the evidence to come out first before people jump to any conclusions. Although, frankly, many already have in this case.

As we've reported ... Majors' romance with Meagan took many by surprise, especially in regard to timing. Remember, he's still fighting criminal charges after his ex accused him of hitting her earlier this year ... something he's adamantly denied over and over again.

Since then, we've seen JM and MG all over the world together ... whether it be shopping, dining, and even jet-setting. They seem to be quite simpatico and then some.

It's fascinating that Rob is defending her ... clearly, he knows her well -- and appears quite confident that she knows what she's doing ... and would never put herself in a compromising situation with someone she suspected was a bad dude.

BTW, we would be remiss if we didn't bring up "Cousin Skeeter" itself ... and the prospect of a revival. Trust, we didn't miss the opportunity to get a good scoop here, and we might just have one for fans of the show.

Check out Rob's description of where things are for a would-be reboot ... which brings back the OG cast, including himself and Meagan. On its face, it sounds like it could happen!

"The Idol" star Lily-Rose Depp was spotted giving her girlfriend 070 Shake something to smile about ... having some hands-on fun together in the Big Apple.

LRD and her rapper GF were taking in NYC Sunday, but the busy city wasn't the only thing Shake was focused on -- digging around down Lily-Rose's short, black skirt!

Apart from the grabby embrace, the lovebirds grabbed some lunch at Lure and followed it up with a shopping trip at Balenciaga and The Vintage Twin stores.

For those unaware, Lily-Rose and Shake went Instagram official in May when the actress posted a pic of them kissing on her story, captioning it "4 MONTHS W MY CRUSH."

Since then, they've been spotted smooching at LAX as Lily-Rose returned home from the Cannes Film Festival.

And FYI -- Lily-Rose has been previously linked to the likes of Austin Butler and Timothée Chalamet, while Shake's dated singer Kehlani for about a year.

Selena Gomez isn't shy about taking risks when it comes to her love life ... announcing to a large group of (possibly) single dudes she's single and sharing the clip with the world.

The pop star posted a TikTok video Thursday, which showed her watching a soccer game while wrapped in a blanket, yelling, "I'm single. I'm just a little high-maintenance. But I'll love you soooo much."

It's clear from the footage Selena was poking fun at her current dating situation, which has been relatively quiet ... but it's clear she's available and looking for Mr. Right.

Selena's fans seemed amused, but also identified with her relationship struggles. Some of them wrote in the comments section, "so relatable," "hilarious," and "so real."

Selena even included a caption that read, "The struggle man lol."

It's not the first time she's joked about her relationship status ... Selena hosted Saturday Night Live in 2022 and talked about it in front of a studio audience,  "I would like to say that I'm looking for my soulmate. But at this point, I will take anyone."

Leonardo DiCaprio and Gigi Hadid certainly aren't doing anything to quiet the speculation they're dating ... arriving to the same hotel only minutes apart for a possible rendezvous.

Both Leo and Gigi hightailed it back to London's Chiltern Firehouse Hotel Wednesday ... doing their usual routine of pulling up in separate cars. However, their timing wasn't so sneaky ... with Gigi arriving around 1:16 AM and Leo getting there only a couple minutes after.

What's interesting, Gigi hitched a ride with Leo's Dad George DiCaprio and stepmom Peggy Farrar, entering the hotel from the front. Leo went solo through the backdoor.

One source tells us it was all just a coincidence -- both Leo and Gigi had separate groups of friends inside Chiltern ... but the source couldn't answer why Gigi rode in with Leo's dad.

Of course, this event comes only 24 hours after the two hit up a 20-person dinner party at China Tang organized by Leo's pal British Vogue Editor Edward Enninful. Leo's parents also attended that outing.

As we reported, Leo and Gigi ended their night at the same hotel after that dinner as well.

The two were first linked last September, but neither side has confirmed dating rumors.

Kim Kardashian clearly has no problem poking fun at her sister's love life, as evidenced by the T-shirt she's flaunting with Kendall Jenner and all of her NBA ex-boyfriends!

The video, featuring Kim K and North West, was posted Sunday from their joint account ... the mommy-daughter duo was seen dancing around, as KK styled North's hair, but fans overlooked all that to focus on Kim's wardrobe.

The shirt in question has a close-up photo of Kendall surrounded by 5 NBA stars -- Jordan Clarkson, Blake Griffin, Ben Simmons, Kyle Kuzma, and her most recent ex Devin Booker -- with the text, "Kendall Starting Five" plastered on the front.

You'll recall, Kendall dated Jordan Clarkson back in 2016 when he played for the Lakers, but they wound up breaking up later the same year. The following year, she moved on to Blake Griffin, who currently plays for the Boston Celtics. They called it quits in 2018.

She had an on-and-off relationship with Ben Simmons from 2018-2019 before dating Kyle Kuzma, who is currently with the Washington Wizards. In 2020, she was with current Phoenix Suns player, Devin Booker, until they eventually ended last November.

And, it's not the first time the shirt has made a cameo ... Kim even wore it in the season 3 trailer of "The Kardashians."

Of course, Kendall has ventured off from athletes and is now with Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny. The two have been a thing for a few months now ... and have been spending a lot of time together.

Taylor Swift and Matty Healy are shaking it off when it comes to their relationship -- the singers have broken up ... TMZ has learned.

According to a friend close to the situation ... Taylor is in fact "single" again, although it's still unclear exactly why they've now split up.

It was a pretty whirlwind romance ... just last month Matty popped up at all 3 of Tay Tay's Nashville concerts, right on the heels of news she and Joe Alwyn had split after 6 years together.

From then on Matty and Taylor were pretty inseparable when she wasn't performing. We saw them out in NYC multiple times -- double dating with her friends, and hitting up a recording studio.

Matty was even spotted sneakin' into Taylor's NYC townhouse, and he hung out with Taylor's dad during her Eras Tour stop in Philly.

Although they just started dating, the artists have known each other since 2014 ... when Taylor went to a concert for his band, The 1975.

They haven't been seen in public together since May 25 when they were out on a dinner date.

We still don't know exactly when the breakup went down, but there was a big clue things were over when The 1975 performed this weekend in Denmark.

Matty had a history of kissing random people in the crowd, but during a January concert -- which Taylor was attending -- he said he was putting the kibosh on that move.

Well, lo and behold, during this weekend's concert he locked lips with a security guard. Talk about single and ready to mingle!!!

Of course, that goes for Taylor too.

We covered it all in the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Shakira and Lewis Hamilton may be a thing after all -- 'cause she keeps going to his races, and hanging out after ... which is exactly what happened again this weekend.

The Colombian singer actually returned to her old stomping grounds for Sunday's F1 Spanish Grand Prix to see Lewis up close and in person -- and her guy didn't disappoint.

Lewis, driving for Mercedes, matched his best finish of the year as he came in 2nd.

After the race, he credited his team, saying he felt he'd driven the best car of the season -- but ya gotta wonder if he had a little extra incentive with Shakira there.

Anyway, he was all smiles at the podium ... which turned into a post-race hang with a bunch of his friends, including Shakira, who joined him and his crew for dinner and drinks.

She was even sitting right next to LH -- and if you look close ... you can see his arm wrapped around her.

Lewis has his other arm hanging over his buddy to his right ... so this could just be platonic. However, considering he and Shakira recently did this same thing after the F1 race in Miami,  this latest sighting is sure to raise some eyebrows among shippers.

The contact doesn't seem like anything on the verge of PDA, per se ... but it's right on the border between friendly and maybe more than friends. Eye of the beholder, we suppose.

In any case, Shakira certainly likes being in Lewis' company. Not only did they reportedly get cozy at the Miami Grand Prix last month -- but they ended up on the water together too ... which effectively thwarted any chances of Tom Cruise getting with Shakira.

You'll recall ... there were rumors TC was actually interested in courting her -- but it looks like she's got her sights set on Lewis, whom she continues to be seen with in public.

Shakira is probably the most eligible bachelorette on the planet right now -- thanks to her split from Gerard Piqué -- and so far, there's one dude in first place for her attention.

Leonardo DiCaprio's summer European yacht excursion is still rolling -- only this time, he had female company ... specifically, one hot model, who's actually pals with Gigi Hadid.

The 48-year-old actor was on a boat again this weekend ... except now, he was sailing off the coast of Ibiza -- and he was doing so with none other than 22-year-old Meghan Roche ... an American high-fashion model who's worked with pretty much all the big luxury brands.

As you can see in these shots, Leo and Meghan got out of the same SUV together as they were set to board Saturday ... and they weren't joined by anyone else, it seems. They also weren't really hiding the fact they were in lockstep with one another ... just out in the open.

It appears Meghan spent the night with Leo 'cause there's pics from the following day (Sunday) where she's in a different outfit completely. As for Leo, he was back to going shirtless/catching rays -- which he's been doing a lot of on this extended Euro trip.

No clear signs of PDA between 'em from what we can see ... but this certainly kicks off a new round of romance rumors -- this after the guy's been officially single for well over a year now post-Camilla Morrone. It might also finally dispel the Gigi speculation once and for all.

As you know ... there's been a lot conjecture about him hooking up with GH over the past several months -- although it's unclear where things stand now -- but as it turns out ... he might just be banging her buddy. Meghan's been spotted out with Gigi before.

Of course, it'll take more than a night with a young, hot model to actually say Leo's dating her. He tends to hang out with models all the time -- so this doesn't really mean much until we see them again ... and again. Still, though, she's right in Leo's wheelhouse as far as taste.

The dude doesn't typically get involved with women much older than 24 or 25, and she's right in that sweet spot. Plus, naturally, she's a beaut -- and a rising star in modeling at that.

No Taylor Swift, no problem for Matty Healy, who planted a kiss on a security guard right in the middle of his band's Denmark concert.

The 1975 were cranking out their song, "Robbers" at the NorthSide Festival when their frontman, Matty, locked eyes with the guy who was standing watch Friday night near the front of the stage -- and then, he gave the guard some lip action.

The security guard was definitely into it, and even came back for more. He didn't get to double dip -- sorry, guy ... Taylor's got a leg up on ya!

For the uninitiated, this is kinda Matty's thing -- he's been known to kiss random concertgoers when they perform "Robbers" live.

Of course, Matty's romantic moves have been reserved for T-Swift lately. We've seen him attend several of her concerts ... even hanging with Taylor's dad during one.

Jake Paul is in love and he doesn't care who knows it -- the Problem Child just opened up on his feelings for his Olympic speed skater girlfriend, Jutta Leerdam ... saying he's straight-up smitten like a kitten.

The boxer was a puddle of love when talking about the Dutch athlete on his brother Logan's "Impaulsive" podcast this week ... saying she's the total package.

"Jutta is such an amazing woman and like, she reminds me so much of mom," Jake told Logan. "She's so sweet and cooking and she amazes me for how mature she is, how emotionally intelligent she is, how good she is at communicating, how good she is at loving, the list goes on and on and on."

"She's like the purest soul I've ever met out of anyone."

Jake even gushed about Jutta's body ... saying it's "sexy as f***" that they're the same height.

"There's more woman, and she's so curvy, has the nicest body in the f***in' world, and I'm obsessed with her," Jake -- who stands at around 6 feet tall -- said. "Basically, I get more woman."

As we previously reported, Jake and Jutta met through Instagram late last year ... and really started to hit it off after spending time together in Miami a few months ago.

Now, the couple is to the point where they're double-dating with Logan and his model girlfriend of one year, Nina Agdal.

"Her smile, her eyes, her laugh just like, give me life on a daily basis and I've never met anyone like her," Jake continued. "And she's only 24 and she's already such an incredible, determined, smart, hard-working, loyal, trustworthy person ... and every f***ing adjective that exists."

Of course, Jake famously dated Julia Rose ... but he's clearly thrilled with how things played out in the love department.

Megan Thee Stallion may or may not have a new boo thang, but what she definitely does not have is new music on the horizon.

The H-Town hottie is admitting the last few months have mentally drained her, and, in a new interview with InStyle, she says she's withdrawing from the rap rat race ... for now.

She adds, "Fans can expect new music when I’m in a better place. Right now, I’m focused on healing."

Megan's last project, "Traumazine," was released in August 2022 with the gold-selling Dua Lipa collab, "Sweetest Pie," but the album was also a struggle to be released ... due to her ongoing legal drama with her label 1501 Entertainment.

With her time freed up, Megan says she's focused on her latest deal as Revlon's brand ambassador -- but her actions show she's also focused on getting to know Belgian soccer star Romelu Lukaku a little better.

There appears to be a new woman in Josh Allen's life ... the NFL star grabbed dinner with Hailee Steinfeld over the weekend -- and they sure looked like a couple at the restaurant.

The Buffalo Bills quarterback and the actress hit Sushi By Bou in New York City ... and in a photo they posed for at the dinner table, you can see they were awfully cuddly.

In the pic, Allen's arm is draped over Steinfeld's shoulder ... and his hand is firmly entangled in the "Starving" singer's too.

Neither has confirmed a romantic relationship publicly -- but it's not the first time the two have been seen out together ... just last week, they were spotted walking on NYC streets as well.

27-year-old Allen had been in a long-term relationship with Brittany Williams ... though the two appeared to split right around the time the Bills' season came to an end in the winter.

As for Steinfeld, the 26-year-old previously dated Niall Horan ... but they split in 2018.
