Relationships

Justin Bieber went from teen heartthrob and Selena Gomez’s swoon-worthy other half to a full-on headline machine -- starting with egging his neighbor’s house and spiraling into DUIs, street brawls, and some serious pap drama.

But, it hasn’t all been chaos. There’s been growth, love, and a Bieber baby too.

Sophie Nyweide always strove to help other people dealing with drug addiction, even though she ultimately wasn't able to conquer her own disease ... so says her longtime friend and former partner.

Eden Herlihy sat down with us for an interview all about Sophie -- who she met at a clinic in Utah called Elevations, which helps kids with anxiety, depression, bullying and other issues ... and, she says she was immediately struck by how kind and welcoming Sophie was.

Nyweide wasn't judgmental like other girls in the program, Eden explains ... and, she carried that through the rest of her life -- always trying to help those around her who were struggling with drugs, bullying, and other challenges.

Elizabeth Hurley seems to have cured Billy Ray Cyrus' achy breaky heart ... because he says he's the happiest he's been in a long time, thanks to their new romance.

The country crooner opens up about their "beautiful" relationship -- which went Instagram official Sunday -- on Friday's episode of "The Ty Bentli Show" ... and he even gushes about her model son, Damian.

He notes ... "I do love him a lot, and it’s great that God brought them into my life when he did. It’s just a good thing."

Sophie Turner is giving hints of a potential falling out with boyfriend Peregrine Pearson, because she unfollowed him on social media.

The internet is catching on to the fact that Sophie is no longer following the British aristocrat on Instagram ... and now theories of a potential split are running wild online.

The "Game of Thrones" star has been dating Peregrine for almost 2 years ... and they got together in the wake of Sophie's divorce from Joe Jonas.

Those close to Shannon Sharpe are adamant his relationship with his rape accuser was "purely" a BDSM one -- where the two would meet up for rough sex about once a week ... and nothing more.

Sources close to the Pro Football Hall of Famer told TMZ Sports on Thursday the ex-NFL star engaged in kinky, consensual sexual activity with Jane Doe "about 100 times" in both Los Angeles and Nevada -- from late 2022 to January 2025.

They insist that while the intimate encounters featured choking and role playing -- none of it was ever nonconsensual, forcible sex.

Gerry Turner didn't find Mrs. Right on "The Golden Bachelor" ... but if at first you don't succeed, try again -- 'cause it turns out Gerry's taking another stab at happily ever after!

Turner tells TMZ ... he's got a new lady in his life, meeting her in a super modern way -- via Facebook.

The way Gerry tells it ... he gets a ton of Facebook requests, approving people he has many mutual friends with -- including a woman named Lana who reached out to him.

Sydney Sweeney and her ex-fiancé Jonathan Davino are NOT giving their relationship another shot, despite being spotted with each other twice this month on different coasts ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ … Sydney and Jonathan are not reconciling romantically and they're not getting back together, despite speculation to the contrary.

Sydney and Jonathan separated in January and canceled their wedding set for May after being engaged for several years ... but then we saw them twice in a matter of weeks. They went out to eat in Los Angeles and then popped up in the Florida Keys.

Justin Bieber is leaving Drew House behind and starting a new venture because he believes his fashion brand no longer represents him ... but sources connected to the company are calling BS on his claims.

Sources connected to Justin tell TMZ … Justin felt Drew House was no longer his and he wanted to distance himself from ex-manager Scooter Braun, who was very much involved in the company. The decision didn't happen overnight ... we're told there was a falling out at Drew House ... the result of some disagreements among the board of directors.

Justin, Scooter, Drew House co-founder Ryan Good, Churchome Pastor Judah Smith and David Bolno were all on the board ... but our Justin sources say trouble started in 2023, when Bolno was mentioned in news reports as a person of interest in the death of aspiring singer Laura Lozano. David was later cleared by police.

Phaedra Parks is known for her bold, outspoken vibes ... but this time, she stepped back and let her son steal the spotlight, as he spilled the tea on his dating life -- and hers.

We caught up with the reality star and her sons, Ayden and Dylan, at LAX -- but it was Ayden who had plenty to say, making it clear he just hopes his mom doesn’t date a bum -- so all you Phaedra admirers, take note!

When the tables turn, Ayden’s still just 14 -- so mama bear’s got some serious dating ground rules for him. Catch the clip to see what she had to say!

Beyoncé’s love story could’ve had a totally different soundtrack -- she was actually torn between Jay-Z and another guy back in the day, and had to bring in her mama for some decision-making.

It was the singer's mom, Tina Knowles, who spilled the tea in her new memoir "Matriarch," revealing that while Beyoncé was bonding with Jay-Z over the phone back in the day, she was also juggling another guy in the industry at the same time.

Tina elaborated ... saying Bey and Jay were giving each other solid advice about the industry in 2001, and as their phone chats kept going, their friendship started to run deeper.

One of Justin Bieber's closest associates is taking a break from the singer ... and it's because of Justin's pastor Judah Smith.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Ryan Good, Justin's former road manager and the creative director at JB's fashion brand Drew House, hasn't spoken to Justin in over a year.

We're told Ryan and Justin haven't talked since Ryan left Churchome in Beverly Hills ... it's the church Bieber still belongs to, and where Judah serves as pastor.

Dylan Meyer is now happily married to Kristen Stewart ... and she's showing off her gold wedding band for the world to see.

TMZ obtained a photo of Dylan dressed casually in a T-shirt and sweatpants outside her Los Angeles home -- flashing her shiny new ring --- after she tied the knot with the famous actress in a private ceremony Sunday.

The photog snapped the pic Monday and it captures Dylan greeting an Uber Eats delivery driver, who handed her food from Joe & the Juice cafe.

Sydney Sweeney just made us all do a double-take ... because we just spotted her with her ex-fiancé, Jonathan Davino, for the second time this month.

Check out the pics ... the "Euphoria" star and Jonathan were photographed out and about in the Florida Keys over the weekend with her new German Shepherd puppy just weeks after they were seen trying to keep a low profile during a Los Angeles lunch rendezvous.

Though the actress wasn't all glammed up, she didn't appear to be trying to lay low like she was a few weeks ago. She dressed casually for their outing ... sporting oversized denim shorts paired with a white sweater and a blue and white baseball cap.

Karen Read’s stepping into her retrial for Boston cop John O'Keefe’s murder like a woman on a mission -- and she’s making sure everyone knows she’s ready to fight in round 2.

As you can see, Karen walked into the courthouse in Dedham, Massachusetts, on Tuesday with all the glam and confidence -- flawless makeup, a perfect blowout, and strutting in a sleek black outfit.

Karen walked in with her team looking totally self-assured -- and it seems like she's feeling way more prepared this time around.

Brooks Nader’s sisters came in hot -- rallying behind her and doubling down on the not-so-subtle hint that her ex Gleb Savchenko was unfaithful.

TMZ caught up with Brooks and two of her sisters in Beverly Hills Monday, and when Gleb’s name came up, one sis didn’t hold back -- dropping, "We don’t talk to cheaters" ... while Brooks looked like she wanted to disappear on the spot.

It was honestly pretty hilarious -- Brooks stayed mostly tight-lipped while her sisters went full steam ahead with the cheating claims against Gleb, all as the Sports Illustrated model tried (and failed) to shush them.

Barack and Michelle Obama appear to be going strong despite ongoing rumors about the state of their marriage ... the former first couple was seen out at dinner Saturday night at Osteria Mozza, a fancy restaurant in Georgetown, in Washington, D.C.

The Obamas' periodic dinner outings have not put to rest rumors about marriage troubles and a possible divorce ... after Michelle was absent from some recent official events, and Barry himself was seen out to dinner without her in March.

The Obamas were warmly greeted by the crowd at the eatery Saturday, with cheers and a round of applause accompanying them as they walked to their table.
