Quinton Aaron’s relationship with his now-estranged ex Margarita Aaron has completely unraveled since his spinal stroke -- but newly obtained photos show a very different vibe back when they said "I do" in their "spiritual wedding."

In the pics, Margarita’s rocking a massive sparkler and cozying up to Quinton inside a chapel from December 2024 -- paperwork getting signed, car selfies, celebratory food, smiles all around ... basically full newlywed energy!

As we reported ... Margarita claims she gave Quinton a heads up that her marriage to her ex-husband might not be officially over because her ex was the last one with the paperwork. Whatever the case, Quinton and Margarita still went forward with a ceremony and signed marriage documents. Margarita says they were just hopeful and head-over-heels, and very much looked it in the pics.

Eric Dane's GoFundMe is being questioned by some cynics ... but its purpose is more than needed, TMZ is told.

Here's the deal ... the beloved "Grey's Anatomy" star died last week at the age of 53 ... and shortly after, a GoFundMe began to benefit his two teenage daughters. But, as happened when James Van Der Beek passed -- some questioned why a Hollywood actor would need the cash.

A source close to the family tells TMZ … Eric faced substantial medical bills during his battle with ALS -- and the fund was started by friends to help his children … no one has to donate. So far, more than $355K has been raised.

Ice hockey star Jack Hughes turned the ice red before he turned it gold -- flashing a blood-soaked, tooth-jacked grin after burying Team USA’s crowning goal ... but one top doc says that smile might need a whole lot more than a victory lap to recover!

Tyler Shough made a helluva impression on not just Saints fans, but even their star players ... so much so that Cam Jordan tells TMZ Sports he believes the rookie could be their franchise quarterback.

The New Orleans Saints have been searching for a new signal caller since Drew Brees retired .... and despite bringing in signal-callers like Jameis Winston, Andy Dalton, and Derek Carr, they just haven't found their guy.

Until now, potentially.

Raise awareness."

Sources who worked with Austin at Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club in North Carolina tell TMZ ... he became fixated on Epstein following the latest release of information tied to the files. Co-workers tell us he was deeply disturbed by what he believed was a government cover-up and often talked about powerful people "getting away with it."

And the biggest throwback of all? The car. Miley was behind the wheel of a classic black Ford Mustang convertible ... the same style ride her character famously drove in the original "Hannah Montana."
