Dating

Britney Spears had a blast Saturday night riding a motorcycle with her fiance, Sam Asghari.

Britney seemed super happy as she returned home from their ride. That said, she's been warning her fam she may put them on blast soon, as the conservatorship appears to be winding down to an end after 13 years.

She posted ... "Lord have mercy on my family's souls if I ever do an interview!!!" As you know, Britney feels abandoned by her entire family, which she says has leached off of her for decades.

What's interesting ... what Britney will do once the conservatorship ends. She's understandably scared, because she's been under the thumb of the conservatorship for the majority of her adult life. She says "I'll just be honest and say I've waited so long to be free from the situation I'm in… and now that it's here I'm scared to do anything because I'm afraid I'll make a mistake!!"

Britney went on ... "For so many years I was always told if I succeeded at things, it could end… and it never did!!! I worked so hard but now that it's here and getting closer and closer to ending I'm very happy but there's a lot of things that scare me."

Britney also gave her fans a heads up, that she'll be taking a break from social media ... "I won't be posting as much in a world where it's our liberty to be free, it's a shame!!! I started experiencing that when I got the keys to my car for the first time 4 months ago and it's been 13 years!!!!"

There's definitely a measure of bitterness ... "I haven't done anything to be treated the way I have for the past 13 years!!! I'm disgusted with the system and wish I lived in another country!!!"

Kevin Smith says people were so sick of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez back in 2004 that her role in "Jersey Girl" got cut in half, but now everyone's loving the reboot ... Bennifer 2.0 that is.

No, there's no "Jersey Girl" sequel in the works, but the film's director joined "TMZ Live" Wednesday and revealed just how much the public's feelings for Ben and Jen have changed since their first go-round.

Kevin tells us after Bennifer's "Gigli" notoriously flopped, the outlook for his movie was suddenly no-so-good. So, executive producer Harvey Weinstein -- hey, we told you times have changed -- wanted to chop as much of J Lo out of "Jersey Girl" as possible.

According to Kevin ... Weinstein justified that because test audiences -- even one in New Jersey -- made it clear they were sick of seeing 2004's version of Bennifer in the news all the time.

Flash-forward to present day ... folks seem to be loving the fact Lopez and Affleck have rekindled their old flame, and you'd have to believe a movie starring them would sell tickets.

On the other hand, Kevin points out how things can unexpectedly change ... with an anecdote about Ben and Jen's canceled engagement and wedding.

Chelsea Handler and Jo Koy aren't trying to hide their relationship anymore, and Jo's already playing the good BF role ... hyping her comedian chops at his own expense.

We got the comedy world's new couple Wednesday as they walked into LAX doing that new couple thing ... holding hands as they strolled. Yeah, they're official now.

So, when ya get 2 veteran comedians -- who are dating each other -- there's only one question that comes to mind, right? Who's funnier?

Okay, we admit it's potentially treacherous territory, especially when the relationship's as fresh as Jo and Chelsea's. Still, he didn't hesitate to answer ... telling us it's for sure, Chelsea. As for her opinion? You're gonna have to read her body language.

In the meantime, it's nice to see Jo is no longer sidestepping questions about dating Chelsea -- like he very slyly did when he was recently on "TMZ Live."

In any event ... seems this budding romance is moving fast. This week, Chelsea flat out said she's "finally in love, with the best kind of guy there is."

So, we asked if they'll be pouring all those feels into a joint performance anytime soon -- and it sounds like they're at least thinking about it.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's rekindled relationship has been a captivating storyline for nearly half of 2021, and somehow ... they've seemingly done it all without following each other on social media, and no one noticed until now.

That's right, Bennifer 2.0 has been hot and heavy since the spring -- not long after J Lo split with Alex Rodriguez -- and managed to grab all the headlines with their public outings and PDA without even clicking follow on the other's Instagram accounts.

In fact, looking back several months ... it seems the only social media connection between the 2 before J Lo made them IG official on July 24 with her birthday post, was her liking a photo of Ben on a fan account earlier that month.

Other than that, there's no evidence they've ever followed each other, liked any of each other's pics or tagged the other one in any posts ... they're just living the couple life IRL.

They've certainly had other ways of showing their love. TMZ broke the story ... Ben was texting J LO incessantly beginning in February ... telling her he would own her with his pen ... a reference to the fact she loves the way Ben writes.

And, of course, they've been on full display pretty much around the world, making out in full public view in the United States and abroad.

Karl-Anthony Towns made sure his girlfriend, Jordyn Woods, felt EXTRA special for her 24th birthday -- showering her with crazy gifts ... including a Patek watch, a Birkin bag and a Bottega coat!!

The Minnesota Timberwolves center surprised Woods with the presents during a celebration at The Nice Guy in Los Angeles on Saturday ... giving her the expensive pieces throughout the evening.

Woods' baby sister, Jodie, captured the initial present opening on video -- showing Woods first receiving a shiny box that contained a diamond Patek watch, which can run for well over $100k.

KAT later gifted her a royal blue Birkin bag -- which, again, can run into the six figures -- before capping off the night by handing her a new, green Bottega Veneta coat.

Woods was thrilled with all of the new drip, thanking KAT repeatedly during the night ... and later writing on her social media page, "I was too drunk to process this last night. WTF [Karl-Anthony], this is crazy!"

The most wild part of the gift-giving ... Saturday wasn't even Jordyn's real birthday -- it's actually Sept. 23!

Makes ya wonder ... does KAT have even more planned for her ACTUAL birthday?!

Pay no mind to all the rumors and photos that came before it ... there is incontrovertible proof this Sunday, Adele and Rich Paul are GF/BF ... 'cause now it's on her Instagram.

Adele posted a glam pic of her with Rich, along with the telltale heart emoji. They're all gussied up and the pic was taken in a photo booth at a fancy event Saturday night.

Truth be told, they've been together for several months now, but she's never formally acknowledged it to the masses ... until now.

ICYDK ... Paul, a sports agent, heads up United Talent Agency's Klutch Sports and snagged the 9th most powerful sports agents on planet Earth position, according to one of those lists. That kinda puts him in Jerry MaGuire territory. He reps the likes of LeBron James and a bunch of NFL players.

Adele's divorce from Simon Konecki became official in March. They share a son, 8-year-old Angelo. So, the decks are fully cleared for a new relationship.

Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian must be trying to set a world's record for public face sucking sessions -- and they must've had Otis Redding on the mind for their latest location.

The couple was standing on a dock -- the loading variety -- in NYC for Tuesday's hot and heavy make-out sesh. They were in the middle of a shopping spree when they decided to load up on the PDA.

Luckily for Kourt and Trav, there weren't any deliveries going down, but let's face it ... that loading dock isn't gonna see any better action than this. At one point, Travis kinda had his GF pinned against the side of the wall as they went at it.

It's kinda funny ... you can see there's a max height of what movers can shove through the docking entryway -- less than 11 feet -- and KK's well in the clear at just 5'1" and Travis is 5'9". Safety first, kids!

Jennifer Lopez took Ben Affleck back to where it all started -- namely, the block that gave her her nickname ... and the dude seemed to make himself right at home by lighting up.

Bennifer returned to J Lo's stomping grounds Sunday -- this after spending the past few days in Italy, where they brought their love fest to the red carpet and beyond. Now, it was the Bronx's turn to get a look at the Hollywood power couple ... and they weren't shy.

Eyewitnesses spotted Ben and Jen touring the latter's birthplace borough, swinging by a place called Lit Bar in what we're told appeared to be a small biz tour -- with J Lo popping in to show love. BA was tagging along ... and apparently needed a smoke break between stops.

Check out this video TMZ obtained of Benny puffing on a cigarette and waving to fans who noticed him. He inhaled quickly, because he was back inside in no time -- but the cat was outta the bag ... because when they exited ... there was a swarm of people with phones out.

Like we said ... they weren't trying to hide their presence -- and you can tell as much by their body language. Jen was giving hand waves and Ben even cracked a smile.

Ya gotta think Ben will bring his boo to his own hometown soon -- Cambridge ain't that far from NYC ... and Bennifer appear to be on the move.

Beantown, here we come???

Ben Affleck knows boundaries, and when others don't he clearly takes charge, especially in the presence of his GF.

Ben and J Lo were at the Marco Polo International Airport in Venice when a hyper-determined fan zeroed in for a selfie. The fan got in their space and ... you never know someone's intentions when they cross the line, so Ben stepped in for the block.

J Lo's BF pushed the maskless guy away as she moved backward. It's interesting ... their bodyguard took over, wrangled the guy and continued to push him away from Ben and Jen.  So, Ben didn't wait for his hired muscle ... he took care of business himself.

When the dust settled, B&J held hands as they headed for their gate ... but this time they looked down as they walked ... clearly hoping they wouldn't attract fans.

They were in Venice for the film festival but spent a lot of time taking in the sights and getting touchy-feely the way we've all grown to expect.

Ben was there to promote his film, "The Last Duel," which he wrote with Matt Damon.

J Lo wasn't just there for kicks. She modeled for Dolce & Gabbana in a photo shoot.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are reminding everyone they know how to dress to impress -- which is good, because all eyes were on them for their big public event debut.

Ya gotta see Ben and Jen together Friday at the 78th Venice International Film Festival ... it's the first time since they reunited that they're attending a showbiz event together, and they're looking absolutely stunning.

Ben's going with a classic look in a tuxedo and J Lo is clearly loving his look ... notice the way she's beaming as she looks into his eyes with his arm wrapped around her.

No pressure, but Ben kinda had to bring it, fashion-wise ... with J Lo rocking a plunging white dress and showing off her toned legs.

As you know ... Bennifer 2.0 took their lovefest to the famous film festival this week after PDA tour stops all across Italy and the U.S. ... but this is the first time we've really seen them glammed up together.

Jo Koy has a future in politics, 'cause dude showcased some serious sidestepping skills when we asked about Chelsea Handler ... his new GF. Or is she???

The comedian joined us Friday on "TMZ Live," and we talked about his big night at Dodger Stadium. Jo recently got the call to throw out the first pitch, and we -- like everyone else watching -- couldn't help but notice how cozy he and Chelsea were on the field.

Look, she was coaching Jo, and they had no problem hugging up on each other in front of a 56,000 seat stadium -- hell, they even posted pics together that screamed date night. So, we had to ask about the budding romance.

Well, Jo's trying (keyword: trying) to have y'all believe he and Chelsea are just "great friends."

That being said ... Jo -- host of the new Netflix competition show "Metal Shop Masters" -- couldn't stop paying Chelsea compliments. He also called her beautiful, and came THIS close to buckling under pressure ... but dude kept it together.

Jo didn't even fall for the ol' slip-the-dating-question-into-the-middle-of-a-plug-for-his new show tactic!!!

For what it's worth, Chelsea held a Q&A on Instagram just days after the Dodgers game date, and when asked if she has regrets for not getting married/having kids, Chelsea answered she's "never felt more confident and secure in my life decision-making skills, in remaining childless and alone, than I have during this pandemic."

Of course, we weren't talking marriage or kids ... just dating. Still, no solid confirmation, but watch the vid -- you can read between the lines.

Scott Disick had to know the other shoe was gonna drop, and it did in pretty spectacular fashion, as his current girlfriend dragged him for dragging his ex, Kourtney Kardashian.

Amelia Gray Hamlin showed her apparent displeasure by posting a photo of a tank top with the words "Don't you have a girlfriend?" emblazoned in the front.

The 20-year-old broke her silence after her 42-year-old BF expressed his displeasure over Kourtney and Travis Barker kissing on a boat in Italy ... sending a DM to another Kourtney ex, Younes Bendjima, saying "Yo is this chick ok!??? Broooo like what is this. In the middle of Italy."

Scott, who had shaded Younes when he was dating Kourtney, didn't bank on Bendjima putting Scott and his DM on blast. Younes wrote ... "Doesn't matter to me as long as she's happy."  And then the parting shot ... "PS: I aint your bro."

For Kourtney's part ... she's clearly unhappy about her ex's DM, posting a pic of 2 people sharing a kiss with the caption, "Relax ... this is going to hurt forever. How to get over someone who treated you badly."

It's unclear how this whole thing will affect the co-parenting of their 3 kids.

Fresh off "FBOY Island," Garrett Morosky is in a relationship with someone other than the co-star he was trying to win back -- instead, he's with Jake Paul's ex ... and there's all kinds of drama.

So, here's the deal ... we're told Garrett and co-star Sarah Emig were on a double date in L.A. back in June when they met up with "Too Hot to Handle" star Harry Jowsey and his date, Mia Francis.

But, we're told Garrett and Mia hit it off ... leaving their dates out in the cold, metaphorically.

Ever since then, Garrett and Mia -- an OnlyFans star who previously dated Jake -- had been talking, and they're now at the "officially dating" stage.

Thing is, we're told Garrett hasn't had "the talk" with Sarah just yet. Our sources say Garrett plans on publicly apologizing to her ... again. As for why things didn't work out for them -- Sarah lives in Cincinnati, and we're told the long-distance dating just wasn't realistic.

We reached out to Garrett and asked how in the world a so-called "FBoy" can be locked down, and he said ... "I'm not an 'FBoy' for the right person."

Mia was linked to Jake Paul early this year, but that fizzled due to some drama ... as the good folks over at TooFab detailed.

BTW, the fact Garrett and Mia are now dating might explain why Garrett, seemingly out of nowhere, challenged Jake to a boxing match.

Colton Underwood appears to have ventured into the dating waters after coming out as gay ... and the water is fine.

The former 'Bachelor' has been in Hawaii at the Four Seasons in Maui with a mystery man -- enjoying the beach and packing on the PDA -- and TMZ's solved the mystery ... Colton's new beau is Jordan C. Brown.

Jordan is very involved in politics, having worked on John Kerry's presidential campaign in 2004 and also advising on Barack Obama's campaigns in both 2008 and 2012 ... helping fundraise. He also worked on Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign.

It's unclear how long the 2 have been hanging out, but we know they were both part of a group including Colton's pal, Olympian Gus Kenworthy, that took a trip to Provincetown, MA back in June ... though they weren't photographed together.

The photos tell the story. Colton looks relaxed and happy, so it seems he's finding his way.

Jay Cutler might be having problems playing the field after splitting with Kristin Cavallari, but she's doing just fine ... TMZ's learned she's dating a big country star.

According to our sources ... Kristin and singer Chase Rice have been seeing each other for about 2 months now, though we're told it's pretty low-key and casual so far.

Our sources say they've been talking and hanging out pretty regularly, getting to know each other, but seem to be heading toward that territory best described as smitten with each other.

We're told Chase and Kristin were introduced through a mutual friend in Nashville -- where they both live most of the time -- and hit it off, but their relationship isn't exclusive just yet.

As we reported ... Cutler recently admitted he's not had much fun back in the dating world since he and Cavallari officially called it quits in April 2020, describing the scene as "hard as hell."

Jay described the many challenges he's faced, including the major change of using apps and social media platforms to court women, adding ... "I'm at a different phase of my life now with kids and priorities are just changed."

Speaking of kids ... our sources with knowledge of Kristin's situation say Chase hasn't met hers yet.

Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson were both under the same roof Saturday night, but we're told it was only mutual friends that got the former couple there ... they didn't show up together.

Khloe and Tristan hit up the birthday party of LeBron James' wife, Savannah ... who turned 35 Friday. We're told the two arrived -- Tristan in a black Rolls, and Khloe in a black Escalade -- and left separately, and have some of the same friends ... so it makes sense both were in attendance.

The party went down at The Classic Cat restaurant in WeHo.

Video from the party shows Khloe and Tristan standing in the back of the room during a performance by Giveon. Screenshots from The Shade Room also show the two of them together at the event.

Adele and Rich Paul were among those celebrating, along with a slew of NBA stars, including Chris Paul, Chris Bosh, Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony.

Khloe was hardly secretive, posting a shot of her outfit (above).
