Sad news for Ben and Casey Affleck ... the famous actors have said goodbye to their mom, Chris Affleck, who died in June after a battle with pancreatic cancer.

Chris Anne Affleck passed away on June 2 after she was diagnosed with cancer in December, according to her obituary. 

Born in New York City in 1942, Chris was a graduate of Harvard University who taught public school for 35 years and was a staunch civil rights advocate for her entire life.

She married Timothy Affleck, with whom she had two children -- Ben in 1972 and Casey in 1975. Around 1975, they all moved to Massachusetts, but Chris and Tim later divorced when Ben was 12.   

LeBron James is apparently keeping his own family in the dark when it comes to his next move ... either that, or Bronny James deserves a Son of the Year award for not spilling the beans.

The Los Angeles Lakers guard and the King's oldest kid/former teammate was asked about his pops' free agency process in a recent video ... after streamer Biggy22x initially prompted the 21-year-old to share some motivation to the youth.

His message was nice and all, but what everyone REALLY wants is an update on his dad ... and the internet personality asked Bronny straight-up if LeBron was going to the Golden State Warriors.

"Top Chef" and Food Network star Eric Adjepong has been ordered to stay away from his daughter for one year after he allegedly abused her ... TMZ has learned.

Here's the deal ... Eric shares his daughter, Lennox, with his ex-wife, Janell Mack, and court proceedings began in May, with the final hearing taking place on July 10. The hearing resulted in an order requiring Eric to stay away from Lennox, her residence, her school, and her childcare providers through July 10, 2027. He is also barred from contacting the child, who was born in 2018.

While the details of the alleged abuse are under wraps, Janell's attorney, Todd Mohink, tells TMZ ... "I believe the court did its job to protect the best interest of the child."

Eric tells TMZ through his attorney ... "Because this matter involves my young daughter, whom I love deeply, I intend to protect her privacy and will not discuss the underlying allegations or other sensitive family matters publicly other than to say that these allegations arose in the context of a long running divorce and custody proceeding, which finally concluded on June 2, 2026."

Aaron Rodgers' family reunion didn't start this week despite what fans may think ... 'cause TMZ has learned the Steelers QB had already reunited with his parents months before he publicly revealed they'd reconciled.

In footage obtained by TMZ from April, Aaron is seen chatting, laughing, and spending time with his mom, Darla, and dad, Ed, at the inaugural Pleasant Valley High School Athletics Hall of Fame dinner in Chico, California, where he was inducted as a member of the first-ever class.

Aaron also gave a speech during the ceremony, thanking his parents ... another sign the family's yearslong rift had already begun to heal well before anyone knew.

The timing is significant because fans only learned the Rodgers family had reunited this week after Aaron posted a series of Instagram photos featuring his parents and brother Luke, captioning the post, "Another bonding week #fam."

Chadwick Boseman's brothers want his widow to be removed as administrator of his estate nearly 6 years after his death ... and they are petitioning the court to have it done ASAP.

Kevin and Derrick Boseman beelined it to a Los Angeles court Friday and submitted legal docs outlining a list of reasons why they believe Chadwick's wife, Taylor Simone Ledward Boseman, has mismanaged the estate and why she should be removed from having control.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Kevin and Derrick claim Taylor left the entire family in the dark about the status of his estate ... despite a 2022 court order that said their parents, Leroy and Carolyn Boseman, were legally entitled to a combined 50% share. The court order gave Taylor control of the other half after Chadwick died without a will in place.

But, nearly four years later, Chadwick's brothers allege his widow has not finished distributing the estate's assets and has continued controlling it completely on her own.

Nolan Wells' mom is laying the legal groundwork to potentially sue over her son's mysterious death ... asking a Mississippi court to put her in charge of his estate.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Christine Wonsley filed a petition Monday to open Nolan's estate and appoint her as its administrator ... saying the estate's assets would consist "solely of claims for damages resulting from the circumstances surrounding his death."

Put simply ... the appointment would give Christine the authority to file a lawsuit on behalf of Nolan's estate if anyone is ultimately found legally responsible for his death.

Teresa Giudice's daughter, Milania Giudice, is proving sisterly love can survive just about anything ... even a call to the cops that leads to an arrest.

Milania posted a video on social media Tuesday, showing her dancing with sisters Gia, Gabriella and Audriana Giudice. She captioned the post, "i love you my sisterssss."

It's interesting to see Milania having a good time with Gabriella ... she's the sister who called police on May 14, telling officers Milania was acting erratically and throwing food and candles inside Teresa's New Jersey mansion.

Gabriella's phone call led to Milania's arrest.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner's widow says the late 'Cosby Show' star left behind $1.2 million in broken promises when he died ... and she's suing his mother to try and collect.

According to a new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Tenisha Warner is suing Malcolm's mother, Pamela Warner, who now serves as trustee of the Warner Family Trust.

Tenisha claims Malcolm -- best known for his role of Theo Huxtable -- agreed to provide her with a number of financial benefits under a prenuptial agreement they signed in May 2022, just days before tying the knot ... but she says he failed to follow through on several of the promises before his death.

It's no secret Aaron Rodgers has been on the outs with his family for many years ... but all that's come to an end now because they just reunited ... for the most part.

That's right ... On Monday, the Pittsburgh Steelers star quarterback posted a series of Instagram photos showing Aaron bonding with his mom, Darla, his dad, Ed, and his brother, Luke. But his other brother, Jordan, was MIA, so it's unclear where that relationship stands.

In the caption, Aaron wrote, "Another bonding week #fam."

JD Vance and wife Usha Vance welcomed their fourth child over the weekend ... and naturally, Donald Trump made the moment about himself ... sharing the first photo of the newborn.

Trump gave the world the first look at baby Alec Neel ... posting the newborn on his Truth Social account and calling the kid "a perfect baby boy."

POTUS is the first one to share a photo of baby Alec ... not his parents.

Neither the Vice President nor Second Lady is in the pic ... it's just Alec and two of his older siblings sitting on some furniture in a hospital room.

Jennifer Lopez knows how to make a big splash ... especially when she's completely naked inside a bathtub!

And that's exactly what J Lo showed the world Sunday in a series of photos posted on social media ... she's nude in a bubble bath with her sister, Lynda, sitting nearby.

Both are chowing down on something scrumptious and seem to be having a blast ahead of J Lo's upcoming 57th birthday ... but Lynda's the only one wearing clothes.

J Lo's birthday is Friday and her sister turned 55 last month ... ao she captioned the post, "A double birthday sister trip is always a good idea!! I love you Lynnie!! Happy birthday!!"

Vice President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance just added another little Vance to the family ... welcoming their fourth child and making a little history in the process.

The couple announced Sunday their baby boy, Alec Neel Vance, was born earlier in the morning ... saying both mom and Alec are happy and healthy, while their three older children are "overjoyed" to meet their new brother.

The birth is also one for the history books -- Alec is reportedly the first child born to a sitting U.S. vice president in more than 150 years. The last was Schuyler Colfax III, whose father was serving as VP when he arrived in 1870.

Late NBA pioneer Jason Collins was honored at the 2026 ESPYs ... and his twin brother, Jarron -- who accepted an award on his behalf -- tells TMZ Sports the moment was truly humbling.

Jason passed away earlier this year from an aggressive form of brain cancer ... and was recognized on Wednesday for his contributions to the league ... most notably, becoming the first openly gay active player in major pro sports.

After a video documented his groundbreaking announcement in 2013, it then pivoted to his brave health battle ... and the impact he left behind.

Kyle Busch's 11-year-old son is doing his dad's legacy justice ... because he just won his first race since the NASCAR legend passed away.

Brexton Busch -- the eldest of Kyle and Samantha Busch's two kids -- competed in several events at Oklahoma’s Port City Raceway dirt track Friday ... and won the restricted micro sprint class division, according to the trade publication Motorsport.

Samantha posted about Brexton's victory on Instagram Saturday afternoon ... sharing scenes from the track.

"90 Day Fiancé" stars Armando Niedermeier-Rubio and Kenny Niedermeier have been reunited in the United States as their 13-year-old daughter receives urgent treatment for an unexplained brain bleed ... and the sweet reunion is on video.

You can watch the emotional video here -- Kenny and Armando embrace outside the Phoenix, Arizona, hospital treating Hannah in the ICU after they fought for the latter's entry into the U.S. on an emergency visa.

Next, Armando is overcome with emotion as he sees Hannah for the first time in person since she was transferred to the United States for testing earlier this week ... he whispers to her and kisses her on the forehead. Though she looks fragile, she's able to crack a smile.

Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo don't need a payphone to chat ... because they're hanging all over each other during a luxury vacation -- packing on the PDA before hitting the ship's slide!

The music star and his model better half were spotted floating off the coast of Saint-Tropez Thursday ... Adam showed off his impressive body art while Behati opted for additional sun protection with a long-sleeve swimshirt and tight-fitting spandex.

AL & BH wrapped their arms around one another at one point ... soaking in the feel of the other -- before showing their kids how it's done on the slide!
