Dating

Ashley Moore, from the hit Netflix show "Temptation Island," is finally addressing where her friendship with costar Tayler Byrd stands after their heated online fallout ... and she tells us there's zero chance of a reconciliation

We caught up with Ashley on Tuesday, and she tells TMZ the drama with Tayler and others who "hopped on that bandwagon" didn't come out of nowhere -- it all boiled down to different expectations when it comes to loyalty and friendship.

Moore's reality TV ex-boyfriend Grant Larsen had also hopped on the hate train to paint her as a bad friend ... and Ashley says there's a lot she could spill, but she's choosing to take the high road.

Andrew Fedyk's gotta be feeling the marital bliss right now -- he tied the knot with TikTok star Madeleine White earlier this month!

The thing is, the social media personality's new husband's not just a pretty face ... he'd already established himself as a DJ and music producer prior to meeting his wife.

We're going to take a look at the music industry figure's past and see how he made his way to the altar with the social media personality.

Fedyk started his career in the music industry as one half of the EDM duo Loud Luxury, which made its debut in 2012.

The musician cofounded the duo with Joe Depace, who he met while they were both students at the University of Western Ontario in Canada.

The two went from playing college shows to gracing some of the biggest stages in the electronic music world, and they've performed at festivals like Calgary Stampede and EDC Las Vegas.

Loud Luxury's also collaborated with several non-EDM artists -- including Bebe Rexha and Bobby Shmurda -- over the course of their career as a duo, and their most popular song, "Body," has racked up more than a billion streams on Spotify.

Fedyk and White's initial meeting took place in 2020 when they were set up by mutual friends.

The music producer and the social media personality dated for three years before he popped the big question during a trip to Casa Loma, in his hometown of Toronto, Canada.

The happy couple later spoke about their engagement during an interview with E! News, where White revealed she made Fedyk give her an hour's notice prior to his proposal "so I could actually have a 'fit."

The DJ said he was "wallowing in anxiety" until the TikTok star accepted his request.

Fedyk and White were engaged for nearly a year and a half before they tied the knot in a dreamlike wedding ceremony in Santorini, Greece.

In an interview with Vogue, the pair admitted they both got emotional at the wedding ... the DJ recalled reciting a journal entry he wrote on the day he met his bride, describing her as "a girl who will change my life."

While the performer apparently told White he wouldn't DJ at his own wedding, he somehow made his way over to the decks, where he entertained the party's guests well into the night.

Britney Spears has made a career out of singing about the ups and downs of being in love -- and she's got plenty of experience to back up her work!

The singer's gone through several boyfriends over the course of her career, and she's actually racked up a list of three (ex-) husbands in her time!

We're going to check out who the performer's been with over the years and see who she's been hanging out with lately.

Spears' been with plenty of dudes in the industry ... one of her earliest relationships was with Justin Timberlake, whom she met while they were costarring on "The Mickey Mouse Club" during their teenage years.

The pair went began dating in 1999, and they were spotted in each other's company during various public events and awards shows over the next few years.

However, the singers broke up in 2002, and Timberlake went on to release "Cry Me A River," which many of his fans speculated was about his relationship with Spears.

The "SexyBack" singer later issued a public apology to his ex-girlfriend in 2021 on his Instagram account, writing he had "failed" her.

Spears subsequently claimed she'd undergone an abortion in her 2023 memoir "The Woman In Me," and wrote that the experience was "agonizing," according to People.

In addition to the claim about her past pregnancy, she also alleged she had cheated on the singer with dancer Wade Robson ... although the experience was limited to a make-out session at a bar.

Following her split from Timberlake, Spears was linked to several individuals, including actor Colin Farrell, attending a film premiere with him in early 2003.

The singer's fling with the actor didn't last -- and she shocked the public when she married her childhood friend Jason Alexander on a trip to Las Vegas in January of 2004.

The thing is, the pair's union wasn't intended to be serious, and they wound up annulling their marriage after just 55 hours.

Spears later wrote that her parents traveled to Las Vegas after learning about their daughter's actions, and she claimed they "made way too big a deal out of innocent fun," according to People.

Spears then began a relationship with Kevin Federline -- who's previously performed as one of her backup dancers and later began a short-lived career as a rapper -- after the two met at a nightclub in 2004.

The pair embarked on a whirlwind romance, and they made things official in a ceremony in Studio City, Los Angeles, that same September.

Oh, and just in case you didn't think that was fast, we've got another one for you -- they started a family just a year after that with the birth of their first son Sean.

Spears and Federline welcomed a second son named Jayden the following September, and he arrived just four days before his big brother's first birthday.

But the performers' relationship came to a screeching halt in November 2006, and they finalized their divorce agreement the following July.

Spears didn't remain single for long after her divorce, as she moved on with several individuals, including paparazzo Adnan Ghalib ... although their relationship ended in 2008.

The singer started dating agent Jason Trawick in 2009, and the two wound up engaged after two years.

Although Spears and Trawick went split up in 2013, her representative issued a statement to ABC News in which the singer claimed she would "remain great friends" with her former fiancé.

The performer later started a relationship with David Lucado -- although they split up after she reportedly found a video of him dancing and kissing another woman during a night out in 2014.

Spears then dated producer Charlie Ebersol -- son of SNL co-creator Dick Ebersol -- but their relationship didn't last, and they broke up in June 2015.

Spears' next long-term relationship was with Sam Asghari, who played the lead in the music video for her 2016 track "Slumber Party" ... and the pair went Instagram official with their relationship in January 2017.

The two remained together for another four years before we shared a few snaps of the actor going ring shopping in Beverly Hills -- and you guessed it, he popped the question in September 2021.

Although the two had to navigate a miscarriage the following May, they worked through their grief and tied the knot in a star-studded ceremony in June 2022 -- oh yeah, and Alexander tried to crash the wedding ... but that didn't go so well for him.

The couple remained together for almost a year before rumors about trouble in the pair's marriage began to surface, and they officially split up that August.

Spears and Asghari worked out the terms of their breakup in the following months, and their divorce was finalized in May 2024.

The singer eventually moved on with Paul Soliz, who previously performed maintenance work at her home, first linked in 2023.

Spears and Soliz's relationship was seriously tumultuous, and a blowup at the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood in May 2024 resulted in paramedics called to the scene.

Sources told us the singer and her former flame had an altercation in Las Vegas during the last week of December 2023, and when the dust settled, the singer apparently had to shell out a five-figure sum to cover the damages to their hotel room.

Spears and Soliz appeared to reconcile in early 2025, and the performer was spotted while hanging out with his kids that February.

Jennifer Aniston's been with her fair share of boyfriends -- and husbands -- in her time, and she's also managed to stay on good terms with her former spouses, Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux.

The thing is, the "Friends" star never gave up on love ... and she's recently been linked to Jim Curtis, with whom she's been spotted on several occasions over the past few weeks.

We're going to take a look at the actress' new man and check out what he's all about ... and see how he got close to the performer.

Curtis is based in New York City and works as a hypnotherapist ... he describes himself as an author and coach on his Instagram account.

He's also claimed to have served as an executive for various wellness-industry companies, including WebMD and Remedy Health.

He's written several books, including "The Stimulati Experience: 9 Skills for Getting Past Pain, Setbacks, and Trauma to Ignite Health and Happiness," which was released in 2017.

Curtis went on to co-author a book titled "Shift: Quantum Manifestation Guide: A Workbook for Coding a New Consciousness," which made its debut in 2024.

While Curtis appears to be enjoying his newfound romance with Aniston, his love life hasn't always been so straightforward.

According to Page Six, the hypnotherapist shares a teenage son with his ex-wife, who both live in upstate New York.

Curtis has admitted to having issues with relationships, writing he "can’t keep a girlfriend because I get bored" in 'The Stimulati Experience,' where he spoke about several of his past romances.

Curtis writes he'd become used to seeing "a new girl every quarter" at one point in his life ... though it looks like that part's over and done with.

Aniston and Curtis were first connected in July 2025, when they accompanied each other on a trip to Mallorca, Spain.

The thing is, the pair had apparently been flying under the radar prior to their sighting, as Page Six reported the two had taken a trip to Big Sur, California, in June.

A source subsequently spoke to Us Weekly and claimed though the actress and the author were being "super private" about their connection, they're "really into each other."

The source also claimed Aniston and Curtis were set up by mutual friends and they had "been hanging out a lot, but very much on the DL at her home."

Aniston's apparently "very happy" about being connected to the author -- oh yeah, and a source told People that she's actually read his work!

The source said the actress and the author were keeping things "casual" for the time being. They also said Curtis is "very different" from any of the actress' previous partners, and they'd been "having fun" during their time together.

Channing Tatum's been linked to several of the biggest names in the entertainment industry ... although he went in a new direction when he met his new girlfriend, model Inka Williams.

The Australian-Balinese model's made a name for herself in the industry -- and for winning over the actor in the wake of his split from Zoë Kravitz.

We're going to check out how the fashion industry personality broke into the crazy world of Hollywood ... and see how she ended up with the star of the "Magic Mike" franchise.

Williams was born in Melbourne, Australia to an Aussie father and a French mother, in September 1999, and she was raised in Bali.

The model spoke about growing up on the Indonesian island in an interview with By Charlotte, and described the getaway destination as "colorful, and harmonious, yet still with an edge of imperfection" ... adding her experience made her "a very compassionate person."

Inka added the "sacred and deep" character of Bali is "reflected in my day-to-day life and way of living."

She also developed a passion for fashion at a young age, telling Vogue she'd made a habit of "stealing my mom’s magazines and ripping out all of the pages to stick on my bedroom walls" after developing an interest in high-end brands.

Williams eventually left the sea and sand behind and moved to London in order to pursue her modeling career.

Williams has since appeared on the covers of various publications, including Elle Australia, and she's also signed to international modeling agency IMG Models

The model's been open about how her work has changed her life, and she told By Charlotte her career choice "helped me build resilience and strength."

She admitted while it wasn't "always healthy being in this industry," she said she'd found "a good balance" over the course of her career.

Williams has also been transparent about how her career as a model has raised her public profile, telling Grazia it's "hard for me to believe when someone stops me on the street."

In addition to her modelling, the fashion industry figure runs her own clothing brand, called she is i.

Williams and Tatum eventually began dating, raising eyebrows when they were spotted together at a pre-Oscars party in early 2025.

The actor was only a few months out from his breakup with Kravitz -- oh by the way, they'd been engaged -- in October 2024.

A source later spoke to People and said the couple "met through friends" and that the model "makes him happy."

Williams and Tatum went Instagram official when she shared a collection of photos featuring the actor on her account to commemorate his 45th birthday, in April 2025.

Kristin Cavallari's running for the hills if another athlete tries to woo her ... but, she's more open to it if their coach comes knockin'!

The reality television star gave an insight into her dating habits on her podcast 'Let's Be Honest' while chatting with matchmaker Patti Stanger.

KC says she's too old for athletes now ... but, she's not totally sour on dating guys who work in sports -- especially coaches who she seems to find surprisingly sexy.

We know "Love Island USA" is meant to bring contestants together -- it's basically in the name!

The thing is, surprisingly few Islanders make it out of the villa with their respective partners, although a handful of pairs from the show's past few seasons have stood the test of time.

We're going to take a look at the couples that have remained together after their experiences in their villas concluded ... and check out the special couple headed to the altar.

Two of the most successful couples in "Love Island USA's" history came out of Season 5, with one pair being Taylor Smith and Carsten "Bergie" Bergersen.

Although the couple ended up placing third in the show's fifth run -- won by Hannah Wright and Marco Donatelli -- they've stayed together ever since the show's conclusion, despite navigating a long-distance relationship.

Oh, and speaking of Wright and Donatelli ... they're the only couple from "Love Island USA" who've actually gotten engaged!

The reality television personality got down on one knee and asked his partner to marry him during a trip to the Dominican Republic in May 2025 ... he later told People he knew he wanted to be with Wright "from the moment I laid my eyes on her."

Wright admitted she became emotional when Donatelli popped the big question, adding she was "crying the whole time" -- in a good way, of course.

Season 6 of "Love Island USA" has proven to be the most successful run in the history of the dating show's American version ... in terms of couples, that is.

The season's winners -- Kordell Beckham and Serena Page -- not only took home the $100,000 grand prize at the end of it all ... they've remained together ever since their season ended.

The thing is, they're not moving in together, at least for a little while ... Page told People they've gotta get engaged before they take that step.

Also coming out of Season 6 are Miguel Harichi and Leah Kateb, who finished out in the runner-up position.

JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez ended up in third place when all the dust settled ... but they're still together -- and hey, isn't love its own reward?

Part of "Love Island USA" is people coming together -- although not many fans could have predicted Carmen Kocourek and Connor Newsum ending up as a couple.

Kocourek was first introduced to fans when she appeared on the show's fifth season, and she landed in fourth place alongside her partner, Kenzo Nudo.

The former couple remained together for just under a year -- but they ultimately went their separate ways in June 2024.

Newsum made his "Love Island USA" debut on the program's sixth season, although he got dumped pretty early on.

The Weeknd's provided plenty of music for romantic occasions -- "Earned It," anyone? -- and his love life's been as dynamic as his songwriting.

The hitmaker's dating experience has seen him link up with some of the buzziest names in the entertainment world ... both in the short and long runs.

Here's a look at some of the biggest names the songwriter's been connected to over the course of his career.

One of The Weeknd's most high-profile relationships was with supermodel Bella Hadid, who he first met when he asked her to appear in the artwork for his album "Beauty Behind The Madness."

The pair first set off the rumor mill when they were spotted together at the 2015 Coachella festival, and they made their red carpet debut at the 2016 Grammy Awards.

The Weeknd -- born Abel Tesfaye -- and Hadid remained together for several months, and although they ultimately separated in November 2016, a source told People at the time the two still held "a great deal of love for one another."

The pair went on to reunite -- on strictly professional grounds -- at that year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, during which the singer performed while his ex walked the runway.

A source spoke to E! News and revealed Bella had approached her former partner at a restaurant prior to the event, and the former couple was "really cool with each other."

The Weeknd's love life didn't stop there, as he subsequently started seeing Selena Gomez, whom he had performed alongside during the 2015 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

While the pair's romance didn't kick off in earnest for another two years, they made sure their fans were well aware of their connection, as they went Instagram official in April 2017.

Oh yeah, and in case that wasn't enough proof for their respective fanbases, they decided to lock lips at that year's Met Gala.

The thing is, Hadid was pretty upset by the singer's willingness to move on from their relationship ... and an insider told People at the time the model was "hurt and pissed" by The Weeknd's actions.

The model didn't have to remain upset for too long, though, as the singers went their separate ways in October of 2017.

The split, however, was apparently amicable, and Gomez claimed she remained "best friends" with The Weeknd in an interview with Billboard.

The Weeknd appeared to run right back to Hadid following his split from Gomez, as he was seen leaving her apartment in November 2017 ... after which a source told People that, while they were "not back together," the singer had "never stopped loving" the supermodel.

The pair set off more rumors when they were seen together at the 2018 Coachella festival, and they sent their fans into overdrive when they kissed at that year's Cannes Film Festival.

The Weeknd and Hadid were later spotted in each other's company stepping out on several occasions over the course of 2018 -- but they kept quiet about their romance.

The two remained together until August 2019, when they decided to split up for the second time.

Rumors about a potential reconciliation began to swirl after The Weeknd attended Hadid's 23rd birthday party that October ... although our sources told us they had stayed on platonic terms during the event.

The singer was next linked to Simi Khadra, and we shared a video of the pair kissing during his 32nd birthday party in Las Vegas.

It's also worth noting the DJ, as well as her twin sister Haze, were friends with both Hadid and Gomez ... funny how life works out like that sometimes!

While a source told People The Weeknd was "not in a committed relationship with anyone" at the time, the pair kept tongues wagging, especially after they were pictured together at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.

The singer also made a reference to having a "girlfriend" -- whom he did not name -- in an interview with the New York Times, and claimed the girlfriend's favorite scene in his film "Hurry Up Tomorrow" was the one where he was hit by a champagne bottle.

"Love Island USA" contestants Iris Kendall and TJ Palma look like they may be giving things another shot back home on the mainland ... because she's hanging out with him, and not Pepe Garcia.

TMZ obtained video from Iris and TJ's reunion Monday night in Los Angeles ... they were coupled up in Fiji before TJ got eliminated -- now they've reunited in L.A. and it looks like the sparks are flying.

Check out the clip ... Iris and TJ are hugging, smiling and flirting ... and we're told they went on a walk and talk for about two hours before going into his place, where they were greeted by fellow 'Love Island' contestant Austin Shepard.

The mystery man who accompanied Jessica Alba to Cancun is none other than Danny Ramirez, TMZ can reveal.

Alba and the actor boarded a plane in Cancun -- where they had spent time together -- and headed back to L.A. on an American Airlines jet.

The pair left Cancun shortly after 5 PM Sunday and landed in L.A. at 7:45 PM.

Sofia Vergara's made a name for herself by flaunting her flawless physique on the small screen ... and you gotta imagine she's piqued the interest of plenty of guys!

Turns out that's a fact, as the "Modern Family" actress has had quite the love life, which has involved both marriage -- marriages, actually -- motherhood, and plenty of boyfriends.

We're going to take a look back at who the performer's been linked to in her past ... as well as the people who've put a ring on her finger -- at least for a while.

Vergara's love life stretches all the way back to her teenage years, as she married her first husband -- and high school sweetheart -- Joe Gonzalez when she was just 18.

The pair went on to welcome a son named Manolo after the actress turned 19, and she later told People she found the fact she "kind of grew up together with my son" to be a positive thing in her later years.

Vergara and Gonzalez amicably went their separate ways after two years of marriage ... she told Parade her ex-husband would stay at her house during his visits to the United States.

The actress was later linked to nightclub owner Chris Paciello, who she met after she moved from her native Colombia to Miami, Florida.

However, Vergara's romance with the nightlife figure didn't last, and the pair ultimately broke up.

The actress eventually began seeing businessman Nick Loeb, who she started dating in 2010.

The pair dated for two years before they decided to get engaged in 2012, and the actress froze several of her embryos the following year in anticipation of welcoming another child via surrogate.

However, Vergara and Loeb shocked her fans when they abruptly called off their engagement in 2014 ... and they subsequently began a legal dispute regarding the status of the frozen embryos.

According to People, the actress filed a set of legal documents in California, hoping to block her former fiancé from utilizing the embryos if he did not obtain her written consent.

A request for a permanent injunction was granted, and Loeb was restricted from using the embryos "to create a child without the explicit written permission of the other person," according to court documents.

Vergara moved on with actor Joe Manganiello, who she met at the 2014 White House Correspondents' Association Dinner, following her separation from Loeb.

The pair only dated for a few months before they announced their engagement that December, and they went on to make things official in a wedding ceremony in 2015.

Vergara and Manganiello remained together for nearly a decade in July 2023 before they announced they were planning to separate.

The actor filed for divorce that same month, and we revealed they'd settled their divorce in February 2024.

Vergara opened up about her split in an interview with Spanish newspaper El País, claiming Manganiello wanted to start a family with her -- but she didn't "want to be an old mom."

The actress dusted herself off following her divorce and moved on with orthopedic surgeon Justin Saliman, with whom she was first spotted in October 2023.

The surgeon appeared in several photos and videos on the actress' Instagram account over much of the following year.

However, Vergara alluded to a split with Saliman while speaking to Access Hollywood at the 2025 Golden Globes ceremony ... she claimed she was manifesting "a boyfriend, or a lover, maybe" for the new year.

The actress set off the rumor mill when she was spotted with Tom Brady in several photos taken during a star-studded yacht trip in Spain in July 2025.

Bella Hadid has made a name for herself strutting down runways all over the world ... and for the ups and downs in her love life!

The supermodel has been connected to some pretty buzzy -- and low-key -- boyfriends over the course of her life ... and we've seen her move from the bright lights of New York City to the wide plains of Texas.

Here's a look at how the fashion industry powerhouse navigated her love life ... before she decided to settle down with a cowboy.

Hadid's buzziest relationship was with musician The Weeknd, who first reached out to the model in an effort to get her to appear on the cover of his 2015 album, "Beauty Behind The Madness."

Although she didn't end up on the cover, sparks began to fly between the two ... and they made their red carpet debut at the 2016 Grammy Awards ceremony -- after being spotted on several PDA-filled outings.

Hadid subsequently spoke about her experience at the awards event in an interview with Glamour, saying, as "a girlfriend I wanted to be there to support" her boyfriend at the time.

The pair remained together until November 2016, when a source spoke to People and claimed they'd decided to go their separate ways.

The source said, despite the split, Hadid and The Weeknd -- born Abel Tesfaye -- still had "a great deal of love for one another" and would "remain friends."

The model and the singer -- who later dated Selena Gomez -- remained apart until November 2017 ... when he was seen leaving her apartment in New York City.

They went on to spark further reconciliation rumors during the following year's Coachella Festival, and they were seen locking lips at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival.

Hadid and The Weeknd coordinated outfits for his 29th birthday party in February 2019, and an onlooker told People the two openly packed on the PDA at the event.

The pair remained together until that August, when a source spoke to E! News and claimed they had separated for the second time.

The source added while the pair seemed open to a future reconciliation, they were committed to "focusing on themselves and their projects."

Hadid focused on herself for just under a year, before she secretly began seeing art director Marc Kalman, according to Page Six ... the two were first spotted leaving a cafe together in New York City in July 2020.

The two tried to keep their romance under wraps, though, and the news about their romance wasn't revealed to the public for a full year.

Hadid began opening up more about her relationship with Kalman in 2021, and he started being featured in photos shared on her Instagram account.

The model and the art director -- who were then seen in each other's company in various public outings -- remained together for another two years ... before they called off their romance.

A source gave a bit of insight into the pair's breakup to Entertainment Tonight, claiming while the split was "amicable," their relationship "ran its course."

Hadid didn't stay single for long ... we spotted her making out with cowboy Adan Banuelos on a trip to Fort Worth, Texas, in October 2023.

The model -- who bonded with the equestrian over their shared love of horses -- hard-launched her relationship with Banuelos, sharing a photo of him on her Instagram account on Valentine's Day in 2024.

Hadid later told British Vogue she met her boyfriend on a trip to the Lone Star State in 2023, and quipped she "always wanted the cowboy."

She said her first meeting with Banuelos felt like "a gust of fresh air" and added the cowboy is "pretty gorgeous" ... How's that for head-over-heels?!

Looks like Jessica Alba’s love life is taking off again -- 'cause she's jet-setting with a mystery man as she and Cash Warren still hammer out their divorce.

Check out these clips TMZ obtained of Jessica and her mystery man boarding an American Airlines flight together at 5 PM Sunday, flying from Cancun to LAX.

Jessica rocked a baseball hat and shades, and even used her passport to cover her face for a sec -- so, it seems like she's keeping it low-key for now.

A guy who had a quick fling with Casey Anthony is weighing in on her latest romance with a former cop ... saying he feels no ill will toward her despite cutting things off once he found out about her infamous murder trial.

Antony Karagiannis -- who hung out with Casey a couple times back in 2018 -- tells TMZ ... he hasn't kept tabs on Casey's budding relationship with New Hampshire gun store owner Ben Beauchemin ... but he shared a short and sweet message to them -- "Good luck to both of them." Karagiannis says he hopes Casey finds peace and happiness "with whatever she has left in her life."

As for their relationship, Karagiannis makes it clear he and Casey were never an item -- just two people who casually hung out -- and had a one-night stand.

Casey Anthony set off the rumor mill earlier this week when she was spotted on what appeared to be a date with a mystery man in New Hampshire.

And we've since revealed the name of the dude is Ben Beauchemin -- turns out he's got a bit of a past, too.

We're going to take a look into this guy's background and get a better picture of who the media figure -- who was found not guilty in 2011 of killing her 2-year-old daughter Caylee -- hung out with on Wednesday night.

Beauchemin must've felt pretty comfortable hanging out in his home state, as he says he's lived in New Hampshire his entire life in a video produced for the New York Times.

Beauchemin described himself as an Army veteran in the video, and he's also worked as a police officer in the past.

We've been told that he comes from a sizable family -- although none of them were apparently aware that he had met Anthony.

A family source also told us that Beauchemin stopped responding to his family and took down his Facebook page after we revealed he'd been out with Anthony.

His family members were also apparently unaware he had gone to dinner with Anthony, or that they had even connected.

Beauchemin's the owner of Wicked Weaponry, a gun store located in Hooksett, NH.

He's been open about the politically divisive aspect of working in the arms industry, and he described himself as a "liberal" who happens to "really love the Second Amendment."

The former cop told the New York Times he's often apprehensive about telling his left-leaning friends that he owns a gun store, and listed "women's rights, reproductive rights, and the economy" as his main political concerns.

Beauchemin -- who told New Hampshire Public Radio he'd been using guns ever since he was "five or six years old" -- admitted his political beliefs factor into his business practices ... and he claimed he likely wouldn't sell bump stocks in his store following the events of the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting.

He said he wanted the arms world "to self-regulate as a gun industry, as a gun culture" in an effort to stifle further gun-related tragedies.

Beauchemin and Anthony's night on the town took place Wednesday this week at the Seasons Tickets bar in Manchester, NH.

A source told us the pair stayed at the pub for roughly an hour and a half, during which they knocked back a few cold ones and watched a Red Sox game.

They apparently even showed a little bit of PDA during the date -- which didn't look like it was their first, either -- Anthony touched Beauchemin's arm and leg while they spent time together.

Another source told us the pair describe themselves as being in a "situationship" at the moment.

Taylor Williams and Clarke Carraway were voted off "Love Island USA" this week when America decided who their favorite couple is so far -- their pairing was dead last, so they got a one-way ticket home ... but they tell us their relationship wasn't given a fair chance!!!

If there's anyone they'd sacrifice for a spot back on the island, they'd throw Huda Mustafa and her connection with Chris Seeley overboard without hesitation -- saying their relationship is way more genuine than people know, and Huda's stubbornness ruined what she had going with Chris ... nothing new for our problematic queen.

Huda has been blasted with intense heat this season, online and from other islanders. Taylor and Clarke think there's no chance of her rekindling the connection with Chris, because she's stubbornly hard-headed.
