Jalen Hurts' absence from A.J. Brown's wedding might not be as spicy as folks are making it out to be ... 'cause NFL legend Julio Jones tells TMZ Sports he, too, got invited to the nuptials -- and even though the groom is a good friend, he unfortunately couldn't make it either.

The superstar Eagles receiver and Kelsey Riley tied the knot over the weekend in Laguna Beach ... and a lot of chatter has been about how his QB was MIA from the ceremony, despite their friendship dating back to high school and Jalen being A.J.'s daughter's godfather.

The popular narrative online is that their football issues might have caused a major rift in their personal lives.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will almost certainly have inked a prenup before their summer wedding ... and if they do, it's all about location, location, location.

Taylor and Travis check all the boxes for a couple that needs a prenup ... there is so much money on the line, plus they are both active money earners. Taylor is worth an estimated $2 billion and Travis comes in at $90 million.

Picking a state where the prenup is drafted will be just as important as picking out a wedding venue. The laws governing prenups vary from state to state, and these prenups typically say the law of the state where it's written will apply, regardless of where they end up living.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba can't catch a break -- the Seattle Seahawks superstar was excited to unbox his well-deserved AP Offensive Player of the Year trophy this week ... just for it to be riddled with errors.

The 24-year-old wide receiver went to social media to express his frustrations with the hardware ... the biggest problem being the thing says "defensive," not "offensive" player of the year.

On top of that, JSN pointed out how "the year" was etched on it as one word, not two.

Indianapolis Colts star Camryn Bynum's dance battle with J-Hope at Saturday's BTS concert was just a taste of what's to come ... 'cause he tells TMZ Sports he will honor the legendary K-pop group on the gridiron this season!!

The NFL safety went viral for the brief moment he shared with the rapper/dancer/singer on the first night of the "ARIRANG World Tour" stop in Stanford ... when they traded moves during a performance of "Anpanman."

Bynum posted the interaction on social media ... and it has since racked up a ton of views and likes -- as well as a comment from Hobi himself!!

O.J. Simpson secretly believed he owed his freedom to Mark Fuhrman after his acquittal in his famous 1995 double murder trial -- while also thinking the then-LAPD detective was a total racist, according to The Juice's attorney.

Malcolm LaVergne, OJ's longtime lawyer and executor of his estate, tells TMZ ... "Privately, O.J. was very thankful for Mark Fuhrman because Mark Fuhrman blew up the case for prosecutors" during O.J.'s 1995 trial for the savage murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ron Goldman, in Los Angeles. LaVergne pointed out O.J. saw Fuhrman as his "get out of jail free card."

As we first reported, Fuhrman died from throat cancer Tuesday in Idaho, where he moved after retiring from the Los Angeles Police Department in August 1995.

LaVergne also said O.J. didn't care much for Fuhrman, viewing him as a racist after his repeated use of the n-word was revealed during the O.J. trial.

Philadelphia Eagles star quarterback Jalen Hurts was NOT at the wedding of his longtime friend and current NFL teammate A.J. Brown, TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ that despite knowing each other for years and playing on the same team ... we're told Jalen didn't make the lavish beachside ceremony. However, it's unclear if he was invited.

Jalen's absence is interesting on a number of levels. He's known A.J. since high school and is the godfather to A.J.'s daughter, Jersee. Jalen tried to recruit A.J. to Alabama to play together in college, and pushed hard for the Eagles to acquire him a trade. But after 4 years together in Philly, there are rumors of a rift.

Philadelphia Eagles star A.J. Brown officially tied the knot this weekend, and TMZ Sports obtained photos from the luxury California ceremony.

Sources tell us the A.J. married with fiancée Kelsey Riley on May 16 at Montage Laguna Beach, with guests arriving in the late afternoon for the 5 PM ceremony overlooking the ocean.

The upscale event featured plenty of elegant touches ... including a violinist performing outside the reception area while greeting guests as they arrived for the celebration.

Tom Brady is officially stepping into a new spotlight ... this time, it's not a football field, but a high-fashion runway.

The NFL legend made his runway debut at the Gucci fashion show in New York City, marking a surprising turn in his post-playing career as he continues expanding his presence in the style and entertainment world.

Brady appeared confident walking fiercely down the runway in an all-black fit ... while, as the kids would say, "mogging" and posing for the cameras.

Dianna Russini appeared unbothered by the recent controversy involving New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel, spending Saturday evening out in New York City with her husband before attending a Bruce Springsteen concert, according to reports.

One eyewitness source told the outlet, "They were having a great time." The source continued ... "They were having a blast with a big group of friends. Lots of food and drinks ordered to their table and they were very carefree given everything that has gone on."

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce may not be married yet, but they're certainly acting like a married couple while out and about in NYC.

The famous lovebirds hit up a private event at Honey's cocktail bar in Williamsburg, Brooklyn on Saturday night. After being chauffeured to the pub, the two hopped out of an SUV in their stunning outfits and walked hand-in-hand to the front door.

Travis then placed one of his hands gently on Taylor's back as he guided her inside the building.

Dak Prescott's recent outing with one of his ex's would-be bridesmaids has caused a stir ... but he's vigorously denied they're dating to us.

Here's the deal ... on Friday night Caitlin Rance -- a friend of Dak and Sarah Jane Ramos, to whom Dak was engaged until earlier this year -- attended a Pro Bull Riders event in Fort Worth, Texas.

Photos and videos taken at the event confirm they were both there ... and we've heard from eyewitnesses that they looked a little more than just friends.

Taylor Swift has been all over the Big Apple recently, and now she’s hitting the town with her man -- Travis Kelce -- for a dinner date ... while the lovebirds keep the world in utter suspense about ... well ... you know what.

The power couple was photographed by paparazzi Friday night, strolling hand-in-hand through Manhattan's Soho neighborhood before heading inside Or’esh, a fancy Mediterranean restaurant. 

Taylor couldn't help but smile in her chic flowery dress and high heels while rocking the engagement ring given to her by her hunky fiancé. Speaking of whom, Travis was also sporting a grin while dressed in dark pants, black dress shoes and a pinstripe button down shirt with animal patterns. 

Former NFL defensive end Josh Mauro's cause of death has been revealed ... with officials determining the ex-Arizona Cardinals player passed from an accidental drug overdose.

The California Post reported Mauro died from “acute combined fentanyl, cocaine, and ethanol intoxication," according to an update from the Maricopa County Medical Examiner on Friday. The examiner also ruled the manner of death an accident.

Before Travis Kelce ever made a Pro Bowl or went on a date with Taylor Swift, his teammate, Mitch Morse, said he knew the tight end was destined for greatness!

Morse, who played with Trav from 2015 to 2018, swung by the TMZ Sports studio for a chat with Babcock ... and the Pro Bowl center couldn't have spoken more highly of Kelce.

"I mean, charismatic, and talk about comforting eyes. My goodness, I see it. I mean, I know why Taylor did it, right? He's a brutally handsome dude," Morse said, continuing ... "He's just a good. He's a good person. And what you see is what you get and then some."
