Kids

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck certainly made the most of Mother's Day ...  spending time with both their moms for one big familial affair.

J Lo's mama, Guadalupe Rodríguez, and Ben's mom, Christopher Anne Boldt, joined the A-list couple for the Sunday Funday in Los Angeles.

J Lo's twins Emme and Max, as well as Ben's daughter, Seraphina, were also on hand to celebrate the moms -- showing everyone is all still getting along just fine.

BA's son Samuel and oldest daughter Violet appeared to be missing from the family function ... perhaps, spending time with their mother, Jennifer Garner.

Of course, the fun-filled day comes on the heels of new movie releases from both Ben and Jen ... so, even more of a reason to celebrate. J Lo's flick "The Mother" is getting plenty of buzz on Netflix.

As we reported, Ben's flick "Hypnotic" didn't do as well in theaters ... raking in just $2.3 million from ticket sales.

It's Mother's Day, and if one group of people that know how to give it up for their Mama Bears -- it's Hollywood's rich and famous ... which they certainly did this year.

The biggest stars made sure to heap on tons of love/praise for their moms Sunday, with tribute posts going up left and right on social media. Some are mothers themselves, others were shouting out their baby mamas ... but almost everyone was expressing gratitude.

Some notable posts ... Kim Zolciak, who's going through a divorce, posed with 2 of her kids; Usher snapped something with his mom; Justin Timberlake gave Jessica Biel her flowers; Travis Barker lauded Kourtney Kardashian; and Alec Baldwin shared his own mom memories.

There were other sweet snaps as well ... shared by the likes of Simu Liu, Patrick Mahomes, Rebel Wilson, Priyanka Chopra, Kylie Jenner, J Lo, Bethenny Frankel and others.

BTW, while there are certainly a lot of moms who give birth to celebs ... there are probably just as many who are famous themselves. As it goes, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Some of our fave notable mommies ... Teresa Giudice, Serena Williams, Kim K, Meghan Markle, Chrissy Teigen, Heidi Klum, Cardi B, Eva Longoria, Kris Jenner, Gabrielle Union, Kate Hudson, Beyonce, Reese Witherspoon, Angela White, Lisa Bonet ... just to name a few.

When momma bear Chrissy Teigen isn't keeping an eye on her three adorable kiddos, you can catch her whipping up a mean meal in the kitchen or in this case... stringin' you along, trying to stump you with her gorgeousness and differences in these two shots.

The Bravo fanatic recently made a stop by her buddy, Andy Cohen's Clubhouse in New York City and showed off her toned legs and dainty side as she made her entrance. Have you come with the correct cravings to chow down on these minor changes? There's only one way to find out!

Floyd Mayweather is returning to the boxing ring in 30 days, and when he does, there will be a few hundred special guests in attendance ... and we're not talking about the celebs that typically fill the stands when TBE fights!

They'll be there, too (more on that later) ... but even better, we're told Floyd wanted to do something nice, so he linked up with two of his business partners/friends, and they're bringing kids from the inner city to the fight.

"I have teamed up with Robert Smith and Deon Taylor with a charitable initiative attached to my upcoming fight. We are going to be hosting several hundred underprivileged kids from the inner city to come to my fight and we will have a day of fun with them and a private dinner with them during the fight week," Mayweather tells us.

FYI, Smith, a billionaire, has donated many millions of dollars to different causes, including civil rights, over the years.

Everyone else will have to pay for tickets, which went on sale yesterday and have been selling fast, according to our sources.

The June 11 scrap between Floyd and John Gotti III, the grandson of legendary mobster John Gotti, is different than a typical Mayweather fight ... it's also a top-notch concert, featuring Puerto Rican rapper Lunay and others.

We recently spoke to Lunay ... and asked him about being part of the big event.

We're told Ozuna, a longtime supporter of Money, AND Bad Bunny will also be in the building.

"I’m happy to come and support my brother Floyd Mayweather. We have been friends for many years. He is the G.O.A.T.," Ozuna tells TMZ Sports.

As for other celebs who will be in the house, we're told a bunch of star athletes will also be in the building.

Before this cutie-pie in her pink leotard turned into a young Hollywood actress, she was just dressing up for gymnastics class -- red lipstick and bracelets in tow -- and growing up in Westchester, New York with her seven siblings!

In 2006, she made her film debut in the Christmas film "Deck The Halls" starring Danny DeVito and Matthew Broderick, which was only the beginning for this shining star's bright future! She starred in "Transformers: Age of Extinction" playing the daughter of Mark Wahlberg's character.

Need one more clue? Just ask her Posh mother-in-law.

"The Bear" and "Shameless" star Jeremy Allen White's actress wife is bringing down the curtain on their marriage ... because she just filed for divorce.

Jeremy's wife, Addison Timlin, beelined it to court Thursday and filed for divorce after more than 3 years of marriage ... according to court records.

It's unclear what led to the split ... but the divorce could be complicated by the fact Jeremy and Addison have 2 young daughters together -- Ezer is 4 years old and Dolores is 2 years old.

Jeremy and Addison -- who acts in plays, TV shows, and movies -- first met when they were teenagers on the set of the 2008 film, "Afterschool." She hinted they were dating in 2013, and in June 2018 they announced her pregnancy.

Addison gave birth to the couple's first child in October 2018, and the following October they tied the knot at the Bev Hills courthouse.

When Jeremy won the best actor Golden Globe this year for his starring role in "The Bear," he shouted out Addison in his acceptance speech, saying ... "I love you deep in my bones. Thank you for all that you do, thank you for everything that you've done."

The Stars and Kraken are stepping up to honor victims of last weekend's horrific mass shooting in Allen, Texas ... wearing helmet decals for their playoff game Thursday night -- while also auctioning off some memorabilia to raise funds for those affected by the tragedy.

Dallas and Seattle both jointly announced the tributes on their social media pages minutes ago ... five days after a gunman terrifyingly opened fire at an outlet mall in Allen, killing eight people and wounding seven others.

Both teams revealed their players will have "ALLENSTRONG" stickers affixed to the left side of their helmets when the puck drops on Game 5 in Big D.

In addition, the Stars said they'll have multiple auctions going on starting Thursday -- with the profits from the bidding set to go toward the Victims First and the Support for Allen Fund foundations.

Some of the items fans can bid on include a game-used puck signed by captain Jamie Benn ... and a game-used stick autographed by goalie Jake Oettinger.

Dallas also said the 50/50 raffle at Thursday night's game will benefit the two charities.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers star Shaquil Barrett is opening up on the death of his 2-year-old daughter ... sharing a sweet video of the baby girl with a heartbreaking message.

The two-time Pro Bowler posted the footage and the note to his Instagram page late Wednesday night ... less than two weeks after Arrayah drowned in the pool at their Tampa-area home.

You can see in the clip, Barrett was holding his little girl tightly ... while blowing kisses for the camera.

"I miss you sooo much baby girl," the outside linebacker said in the caption on the post. "I love you please watch over us 😘😘#TGBTG"

The comment section on the post was flooded with support for the Barretts ... with Bucs star Mike Evans writing, "Love you, brother."

Barrett's wife, Jordanna, also left a message ... "We love you forever and ever babygirl💕 until we meet again my baby!"

Jordanna -- who has three other kids with Barrett -- broke her silence on the tragedy last week with an emotional post of her own where she thanked everyone for their "messages, flowers, thoughts and prayers."

"Our world will never be the same," Jordanna wrote. "Arrayah was the apple of my eye, and my heart will forever be with hers."

Arrayah was laid to rest on May 5 at a private funeral in Tampa. She had just celebrated her second birthday on April 19.

Irish television host Amanda Byram was 30 years old when she first started hosting "The Swan" -- a show documenting women going through a full-on transformation and physical makeover -- back in 2004.

Prior to her hosting gig on "The Swan", Amanda hosted "Paradise Hotel" -- a dating reality show -- as well as cohosting "Grand Slam" which was a rapid-fire, question-type game show alongside Dennis Miller.

To this day, she is still hosting TV shows ... most recently, "Food Unwrapped," and just last year she welcomed her first child, making her one proud 'Mam.'

Heather Armstrong, known to many as the "Queen of Mommy Bloggers," has died by suicide ... this according to police, following years of her writing about struggles with alcohol and depression.

According to a statement from a Salt Lake City PD spokesperson, cops responded to Heather's home Tuesday night and found her dead -- the preliminary investigation determined she died by suicide. No other details were given.

Fans of Heather learned of the tragic news Wednesday ... with a post on her social media that read,  "Heather Brooke Hamilton aka Heather B. Armstrong aka dooce aka love of my life. July 19, 1975 - May 9, 2023."

It goes on to say, "Hold your loved ones close and love everyone else." Her boyfriend Pete Ashdown told the Associated Press she had been sober for 18 months but recently had a relapse.

Heather became a pioneer in the world of blogging in the early 2000s ... being one of the first "mommy bloggers" with her site, dooce.com. She'd often get candid with her readers about parenthood, as well as more difficult subjects like her depression.

Over the years, Heather gained tons of recognition for her bravery -- even appearing on Oprah Winfrey's show and being put on Forbes' list of most influential women in media. She published a few books as well ... including "Things I Learned About My Dad In Therapy" and "The Valedictorian of Being Dead."

Heather opened up about her mental health struggles more frequently in recent years, revealing she joined a clinical trial intended to determine if depression could be treated by going into medically-induced comas.

She shared 2 kids were her ex-husband, Jon -- they got divorced in 2013. She started dating Pete almost 6 years ago.

Heather was 47.

RIP

Kyler Murray is stepping up in a big way ... the Arizona Cardinals star just donated thousands of dollars to William Cho, the 6-year-old boy who lost his loved ones in the Texas mass shooting earlier this month.

Cho had visited the Allen outlet mall on May 6 with his family ... when a gunman opened fire -- and killed his mom, dad and brother. Cho suffered injuries in the horrific rampage, but after spending time in the ICU, he's recovering well.

Friends of the Cho family set up a GoFundMe page with the hopes that it would provide the little boy with enough money to help him in the wake of the tragedy once he heals up ... and Murray raced in this week to open up his checkbook for the cause.

The 25-year-old quarterback -- who has close ties to the area ... as he went to high school in Allen -- shelled out $15,000.

He added in a tweet earlier this week he was ready to help more victims, too.

So far, the GoFundMe page -- which initially had a goal of raising $50,000 -- is up over $1.7 million.

"We are deeply grateful and sincerely appreciate this outpouring [of] love and prayers from all around the country," the page's organizers wrote.

Before this beaming boy turned into an actor and a husband, he was mastering the art of karate, dancing up a storm in hip hop class, and growing up in Hudsonville, Michigan with his rents and little sister.

This on-screen werewolf used his karate skills to fight in a series of movies, vying for Bella Swan's love, and if you don't recall him in those movies ... perhaps you've seen him in "Cheaper By The Dozen" acting next to Hollywood greats like Steve Martin and Hilary Duff.

Need one more hint? Just ask his ball and chain, Taylor!

Francia Raisa stopped talking to Selena Gomez because SG wouldn't stop drinking after she had given her a kidney ... at least, according to her ex-friend's dad, El Cucuy.

El Cucuy -- the famous Spanish radio host and father of Francia -- went on a Spanish news show called "Primer Impacto" about 5 months ago and wound up giving more context about what went down between the 2 ex-best friends.

During the interview he was asked why his daughter wasn't included in Selena's highly-anticipated doc, "Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me." He told the outlet, it was no secret what happened between them, and added ... that's just what happens with love, money, and fame.

He then explains Selena and Francia had a disagreement when SG was drinking. Apparently, FR told her she didn't give her a kidney, so she could go out and drink ... causing stress on the organ.

BTW, they used to be thick as thieves, having met when they were child actors. So much so, Francia donated her kidney to Selena in 2017 after hers failed due to her battle with lupus. However, things soon went left.

Francia recently fielded a bunch of questions, from a pap, about Selena ... but she dodged almost every single question ... which came off a little shady to some Selena fans.

As a result, FR later said she'd been dragged through the mud online and wanted it all to stop.

Former Phoenix Suns general manager Lance Blanks died by suicide ... his daughter revealed.

In an emotional piece that Riley Blanks Reed penned for ESPN on Tuesday morning ... she announced Lance killed himself last Wednesday.

"People will want more information," Blanks Reed said of her father's death. "But the fact is we will never truly know why. And we don't need to. All we need to do is remember him, honor him, celebrate him, and pour our love into the family that made him happy."

Lance was 56 years old.

In her letter, Blanks Reed reminisced on all the good times she had with her father ... remembering him as "my person, my idol, my teacher, my best friend and my confidant."

"He encompassed everything to me," she said.

Lance starred at the Univ. of Texas from 1988 through 1989 -- and had such a great two seasons there, he was inducted into the school's Hall of Honor in 2007.

Following his Longhorns days, Lance went on to have careers as a player and an exec in the NBA -- ultimately working for the Suns as their GM from 2010 to 2013 -- before he signed on to be an analyst for the Longhorn Network.

Blanks Reed said while all of his career accomplishments were incredible ... she knew him best for being "a leader and a guardian angel."

"In the darkness of my worst nights," she wrote, "he always picked up the phone."

Blanks Reed added, "Daddy, Lance, LB, my forever hero, has left a void that cannot be filled. And yet, I find solace in the promise to honor him with everything he left us. In the loving embrace of my sister, Bryn, I will remember that we are both forever connected to the remarkable man who was our world."

The marriage of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann may be over, but that doesn't mean they're ready to completely cut ties, not yet anyway ... we've learned they're still living under the same roof.

According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Kim and Kroy both continue to live in their Georgia mansion with their 4 young kids. It's the same home that went into foreclosure back in February. There's typically a grace period for homeowners to pay up and save the home. It's unclear where they are in that process.

It's also unclear how long they'll live there together, especially if things get nasty. Given they have 4 kids, they may want to cushion the blow of the divorce by staying in the same home ... at least in the short term.

As for what led Kim to file for divorce, we're told that's a mystery to everyone around the estranged couple, who thought all was good between the 'RHOA' star and Kroy.

In the divorce docs, Zolciak said the marriage was, "Irretrievably broken with no hope of reconciliation" ... but she didn't get more detailed.

Of course, the couple's recent financial struggles have been well documented. TMZ broke the story -- Kim and Kroy owe the IRS $1.1M in taxes, interest and penalties from 2013, 2017 and 2018 ... and also owe the state of Georgia $150,000 in unpaid taxes from 2018.

Lil Durk is all set to drop his new album "Almost Healed" on Friday, a therapeutic journey he says that couldn't have happened without the love of his family.

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Durk out in Beverly Hills and asked about the clinical connotation of the project's title.

The Chicago rap star has endured some heavy times ... his brother OTF DThang and artist King Von were both killed by gun violence in recent years.

However, Durk tells us that his kids and girlfriend India Royale — who he affectionately refers to as his "wife" — have been his rock throughout it all and got him to the brink of a full recovery.

Durk also publicly feuded with NBA YoungBoy's camp following King Von's death ... with Akademiks recently reporting a truce on that beef, claiming to have integral knowledge.

We asked Durk about squashing things with YoungBoy and it was like he got hit with a neuralyzer from 'MIB' ... he had no clue who we were talking about!!!

He did, however, make sure to shout out his "Broadway Girls" collaborator Morgan Wallen.
