Jazz Chisholm Jr. is officially off the market … but don’t expect the Yankees star to be knee-deep in seating charts and floral arrangements.

TMZ Sports caught up with Jazz and his fiancée, Ahnalys Santiago, earlier this month in West Hollywood and asked the happy couple how they're doing post-engagement … and when it comes to wedding planning, the MLB slugger made it clear he’s taking a backseat.

“He’s barely a part of it, but it’s coming along, though,” she teased.

Jazz didn’t argue.

“I’m letting her do it. That’s her wedding,” he quipped -- before Ahnalys quickly corrected him: “It’s ours.”

Chisholm popped the question to Ahnalys, a singer and influencer better known as Ahna Mac, on Christmas under the Northern Lights in Finland. And they said (almost) married life has not changed much -- at least not between them.

This Major League Baseball season will be different than any in the league's 120+ year history, 'cause a computer will, in part, call balls and strikes ... but is it a good thing?!

That's the question we posed to longtime MLB umpire Jim Joyce, who worked 30 seasons in the Big Leagues, including three World Series, and was widely regarded as one of the best umps in the game.

"As with any new technology, there has to be a sounding out system," Joyce told TMZ Sports ... "I hope they have done due diligence in that part of it."

Britney Spears' Iranian American ex-husband Sam Asghari is applauding America for joining forces with Israel and striking Iran Saturday ... even saying he's glad the country's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead.

The actor and model didn't hold back to photographers as he reflected on the massive military mission launched Saturday ... saying his home country's government being wiping out is "justified."

And he doesn't hesitate to applaud Khamenei's death specifically, saying it was "deserved" and that he deserved a larger punishment than death alone.

A group at a Washington D.C. restaurant was talking openly in the bar area Friday afternoon about a national secret that was about to literally explode hours later -- the bombing of Iran.

Attorney Mark Geragos was at Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab at around 3:00 PM ET, getting something to eat and preparing to do the "2 Angry Men" podcast with Harvey Levin ... from his seat in the bar area.

Just before 3:45, Mark overheard people at the next table in the bar area talking about Iran. There were 4 men sitting at a high-top table, and 2 women were standing next to the table. The men were dressed in business attire ... sports coats and collared shirts. Mark says one of the men said in a voice loud enough for him to clearly hear ... the U.S. was going to bomb Iran "today."

Mark's not sure who these guys were, but Joe's is .2 of a mile from The White House.

The big day isn't until Sunday, but the journalist tells TMZ ... he started the festivities Friday night with a dinner at a friend's house in Beverly Hills. Then, it's on to the NAACP Image Awards tonight, where he's being honored with 4 awards, followed by dinner with husband Tim Malone.

And on the actual day? He tells us it'll be a "spa day in a beach town."

Can't blame the guy for wanting to just kick back. His birthday comes on the heels of him being named in a lawsuit by an alleged parishioner of The Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota for allegedly disrupting a service last month.

We’re told Shia cares immensely for and still sees their daughter Isabel ... even though he lives in New Orleans to take care of his family. The source claimed Shia was present for his daughter when Mia was busy with work. Sources close to Mia scoff at the suggestion her work had any role in the relationship ending.

Yungblud says being a sex symbol comes with a lot of perks, like getting tons of direct messages from women who are throwing themselves at him.

We got the British rocker at Great White in Studio City in L.A., and our photog asked him about his sex appeal with the ladies.

Yungblud says his DMs are going crazy, but there's just one problem ... he's a prude.

OK, he's joking ... we think.

It's clear Brett Favre is a Fernando Mendoza fan ... and even though the Indiana superstar isn't showing off his arm at the NFL Combine, the Gunslinger tells TMZ Sports it doesn't really matter -- 'cause his best traits can't be measured.

We got the Pro Football Hall of Famer's perspective on the expected No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft ... and it's safe to say he thinks Mendoza to the Las Vegas Raiders is a no-brainer.

Favre -- who won Super Bowl XXXI during his 20-year NFL career -- had nothing but great things to say about the 22-year-old, pointing to his leadership and consistency.

Uroš Medić will never forget the moment he went from begging for immigration help inside the Octagon … to hearing the President of the United States on speakerphone minutes later, he tells TMZ Sports.

After his win in Houston last weekend, the Serbian-born UFC star made a respectful, emotional plea. Medić explained he’s lived in America for 11 years, built his career here and has a work permit through 2030 … but was terrified to travel home on limited documentation, fearing he wouldn’t be allowed back in.

With his grandmother aging, sponsorship opportunities waiting in Serbia and the UFC heading to Belgrade, Medić said he desperately needed to see his family before fighting on home soil.

Then came the shocker.

The father of Luci4 -- born James Dear IV -- tells TMZ ... last Saturday, his son was running late to catch a 10:52 PM flight to Miami for a concert.

"The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" fans can expect a possible West Coast spinoff ... and if it gets the official green light, sources tell us the show could be rolling cameras within weeks!

Production sources connected to the project tell TMZ a pilot episode has already been filmed and shopped around … and now it’s simply a waiting game for a full series pickup.

Michael Phillips is convinced he has the world's smallest penis ... but anyone who wants to take the title for themselves is welcome to drop their pants and prove it.

The 38-year-old North Carolina man sat down with our own Charlie Neff for an interview ... and, he says -- based on his own research -- he thinks it's very likely he's working with the smallest equipment known to man.

That said, Michael -- who claims he's been medically diagnosed with a micropenis -- is willing to compare sizes with anyone who thinks they've got the smaller wiener.

Amanda Frances says a reconciliation between herself and Dorit Kemsley seems unlikely ... but, she's laying the blame totally at the other star's feet.

We caught up with the 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star in New York City earlier this month ... and we had to ask her about the drama between herself and the star -- which kicked off while filming when Frances claimed Kemsley "outsourced her financial well-being to a man."

As you can imagine, Dorit -- who is going through a messy divorce with PK Kemsley -- took offense at the comment ... and accused Amanda of not being a "girls' girl."
