Gossip / Rumors

Turns out J.J. Watt is getting some action this season after all ... 'cause he's officially dating pro soccer star Kealia Ohai!!!

FYI, Ohai is a 24-year-old forward on the Houston Dash. She was a stud in college -- leading North Carolina to a national championship in 2012.

She was also the #2 overall pick in the 2014 National Women's Soccer League college draft.

Kealia also happens to be Brian Cushing's sister-in-law.

The rumors about their secret relationship has been floating around for months -- but now Ohai has finally confirmed it on the 2 Up Front podcast.

"The rumors are true. We are dating," Ohai said.

"I've known J.J. for a really long time, and we've always been really great friends, and yeah, I'm really proud of him for everything he's been going through, but it's been pretty crazy with all the rumors."

Congrats!

Michael Phelps is now FULLY EMBRACING the married life -- finally going public with the news of his nuptials -- and explaining, "I had to keep it secret."

Dominick Cruz has a message for Cody "No Love" Garbrandt -- he's going to torture him so badly at UFC 207, Cody's going to "beg me" to end the fight.

Cruz -- the reigning UFC bantamweight champ -- joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs Thursday night on FS1) and let the insults fly on his next opponent.

FYI, Cody's 10-0 with 9 knockouts -- and vows to break Cruz's jaw.

Cruz says he's not afraid -- insulted Cody's intelligence -- and then told us why "No Love" will be begging for the champ to put him out of his misery.

Pretty violent stuff.

James Packer "is not in his right mind" ... so claim people who Mariah Carey has downloaded with info about her bitter breakup.

Our Mariah sources tell us, "she had to leave him" and he hasn't been "present for her" in a couple of months. They call James "mentally unstable."

Even more serious ... the sources say the last straw for the relationship was that he got "violent" a month ago on a yacht in Greece.

TMZ broke the story ... Mariah claimed Packer was really terrible to her assistant on the boat, and that sent her packing.

Drake gave Taylor Swift the VIP treatment at his 30th birthday bash, including some QT with his mom -- normally an early sign of dating -- but that's not the case ... this time.

Sources connected to Drake tell us he introduced Swift to his mom and several of his homies during the Sunday night party in WeHo. TayTay's not a regular at Drizzy's legendary parties ... which is why he wanted to make sure she met his inner circle, including Mom. After all, she's arguably the biggest female music star on the planet.

Of course, the special care sparked all sorts of post-party reports Drake and Taylor were getting hot and heavy at the event -- and we're told they are close, but only friends. They have been for years, in fact, they hung out at the 2013 VMAs.

So, no banging here ... we're told. Besides, that's RiRi's job.

Amber Rose has 2 new things in her life ... a $371k Rolls-Royce Wraith and a guy to drive it.

Amber was spotted leaving the new WeHo hotspot Delilah with Val Chmerkovskiy -- younger brother to her "Dancing with the Stars" partner, Maxim. There are rumors the two might be a thing -- hell, she's letting him drive her Rolls for what must be the first time ... based on this clip.

Still, Amber says she's making new Halloween plans ... with a different guy in her life.

Donald Trump says his latest accuser is no saint ... and he sounds certain she's been grabbed plenty of times in her line of work.

The Donald went on WGIR radio's "New Hampshire Today" and sarcastically said he was sure porn star Jessica Drake has "never been grabbed before." Drake claims Trump grabbed her, kissed her and solicited her for sex in 2006.

Trump says her claims and the allegations of the other accusers are BS.

Drake launched an online sex shop just before going public with her allegations -- but her lawyer, Gloria Allred, says the timing was a coincidence.

T.I.'s wife, Tiny, wasn't disrespecting her hubby by posing for a photo with Floyd Mayweather ... she was doing it out of respect for Mariah Carey.

We talked to Tiny about the awkward photo op with Floyd taken over the weekend at Mimi's Halloween party, and she explained how she was almost railroaded into standing next to a guy who does NOT get along with T.I.

Tip and Floyd have had beef since their 2014 brawl outside a Fatburger on the Vegas strip.

Lindsey Vonn -- who spent her birthday weekend traveling to Austin to see Lewis Hamilton race -- is once again insisting the two are just "friends."

Okay.

The two got close, once again, at the F1 Circuit of the Americas ... a race Lewis dominated from start to finish.

Remember, she spent her birthday on a bowling date with the guy last week ... and last year, she visited the guy at the British Grand Prix.

Plus, just look at the picture they took together over the weekend -- that look like just friends to you?

The catch, however, is that Lewis went on "Ellen" last week and insisted he's very single and VERY focused on his racing this year ... and won't let a relationship get in his way.

That's great and all -- but dude, click the gallery below. Might wanna reconsider your policy.

He's one of the biggest Raider fans on the planet -- but if the Silver & Black move straight outta Cali and into Las Vegas, is that a deal breaker for Ice Cube???

Future is NOT the reason Larsa Pippen and Scottie are calling it quits ... this according to sources connected to Larsa.

Fact of the matter is ... people have spotted Larsa and Future hanging out recently in Miami -- and with Scottie filing for divorce this week, there have been rumblings that Larsa and Future were a thing.

But sources extremely close with Larsa tell us ... they've been friends for a while and there's nothing romantic going on with them.

We've also got Future sources telling us the same thing -- and noting that he's got so many women, he's not about to mess with a married one.

We're told Scottie has been traveling a lot (mostly to Chicago for business) and Larsa felt the two were drifting -- and that's partly why they decided to call off the 19 year marriage.

The two have 4 kids together and Larsa has said she's hopeful the two can continue to co-parent together.

Chael Sonnen says Tito Ortiz is so poor, he can't make his Rolls-Royce payments and had the car repossessed last week.

There's just one problem ... Tito just sent us a photo next to the car, giving Chael the bird ... and insisting Chael's full of crap.

Chael made the cash claim on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs Thursday night on FS1) -- while talking smack about the guy he's set to face at Bellator 170 in January.

We reached out to Tito to find out if he really lost his beloved Rolls ... to which Tito replied, "Don't hate the player, hate the game. I fight for real money, he fights for my change."

Sofia Richie bobbed and weaved her way around "dumb questions" Wednesday night -- specifically whether she's a homewrecker in the breakup of Tobey Maguire's marriage -- with an assist from new coach Paris Hilton.

We got Sofia and Paris at Catch where paps grilled the 18-year-old about rumors swirling in Hollywood that she and newly single Tobey are a thing. She got testy ... fast.

Eventually, coach Paris chirped up on the subject -- telling photogs to leave her protege alone. As Paris hints ... Sofia's young and single ... and Tobey's 41.

Nick Cannon and Christina Milian are back together ... at least on the dance floor of a Jamaican club in Queens.

The former flames were spotted at a joint called Lorna's for Seafood Tuesday. We're told they showed up around 1:30 AM ... cut a rug for about an hour and took off.

Nick and Christina were out with a group of friends -- but we're told they're not back together. Check out "The Wendy Williams Show" clip ... Christina seems to leave that door open a crack.

"Celebrity Apprentice" contestant Richard Hatch says he witnessed Donald Trump's lewd conduct with women repeatedly, and anyone claiming differently -- including his family -- is full of it.

Hatch, who famously won the first "Survivor" crown before working closely with Donald on 'Apprentice' ... says the boss made a habit of getting close to women as soon as they walked in the room. He adds ... Trump never took the hint either when they'd try to shake him.

Richard says he didn't witness the incident recently reported about Gary Busey allegedly groping a female staffer while Trump laughed. But he says he wouldn't be surprised if Donald and producers looked the other way, since they loved having his "crazy" on the show.

He also says Melania claiming others are "egging on" Trump's behavior ... is pure fantasy.

"Bad Girls Club" star Camilla Poindexter is PISSED at Donald Penn's wife -- claiming the accusation she tried to get "hush money" from the NFL star to stay quiet about their love child is a downright LIE.
