Relationships

Naomi Judd's song "Have Mercy" may have become her widower's anthem at least once ... 'cause he confirmed that she once fired a bullet at him.

The two-part Lifetime docuseries "The Judd Family: Truth Be Told" is rolling out this weekend ... and, in it, Naomi's widower -- Larry Strickland -- was asked about a story Judd put in her 1993 memoir "Love Can Build a Bridge."

In the memoir, Judd says she and Strickland -- who she married in 1989 -- were "wildly, madly, passionately in love" ... but, Strickland was never around because she claims in the book he was cheating on her.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce ain't brothers ... but, they certainly brought the love to Philadelphia -- and, their fans can now breathe a sigh of relief.

The two stepped out in the city together on Sunday ... and, someone snapped a pic of them hanging out inside a restaurant.

Check out the photos ... Taylor's flashing a big grin while walking through the place while her man follows along behind her -- looking a bit more stoic.

Brooklyn Beckham was all on his own at his Formula E race event ... with David and Victoria reportedly not even showing up as he undertook the dangerous endeavor.

The Times published a feature on Brooklyn Saturday, with reporting from when one of their reporters sat down with him in Miami in early March during Formula E's "Evo Sessions" -- an event where influencers came out to race cars to raise the profile of the F1 competitor.

In the article, the writer reveals while other stars -- like 'Harry Potter' actor Tom Felton and former soccer standout Sergio Agüero -- were surrounded by large entourages at the event, Brooklyn only had the Jaguar team, whose car he was racing.

Billy Ray Cyrus and Tish Cyrus might actually be reconciling ... 'cause Billy Ray just heaped praise on his ex-wife -- and admitted he's at fault for many of their marital issues.

The singer-songwriter took to Instagram to share a loving Mother's Day message ... starting with praise for his own mother, Ruthie -- from whom he says he inherited an ear for music.

BRC then asks fans for prayers because his family's so close to healing -- and, to prove it, he shouted out Tish ... who he's seemingly been at odds with since their shocking divorce.

Holly Madison seems to be taking aim at Zak Bagans ... claiming the television star cheated on her in a couple social media posts.

Madison posted to TikTok earlier today ... sharing a short clip where she stares directly into the camera -- letting her added caption do all the talking.

Check it out for yourself ... she writes that her biggest "I'm bored" scenario is getting all of the girls her "most recent ex" cheated on her with so they can tell her every sordid detail.

Jordon Hudson's not letting the recent haters get her down ... cracking a huge smile at the Miss Maine pageant -- and, giving fans a glimpse of her long legs.

The New York Post obtained photos of Bill Belichick's better half ... capturing her in a baby blue dress at the event in Portland, Maine.

The dress ended high on her thighs ... leaving little to the imagination, and she flashed a small smile and wave for the camera.

Kylie Jenner's making sure her man Timothée Chalamet's dressed to the nines prior to leaving the house ... using a lint roller on his suit before a fancy awards show.

A photo of the reality star and her actor beau was published by Cosmopolitan Saturday ... showing Jenner with her hands all over Chalamet's chest -- knocking a little dust off the front of his clothes.

It's a screengrab from a FaceTime call ... and, there's a picture of another man in the corner on the other end -- who appears to be French fashion designer Haider Ackermann. The grab was taken before the David Di Donatello Awards, where the couple made their red carpet debut.

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman may have divorced over 2 decades ago -- but it looks like there's nothing but respect between the pair after the "Mission: Impossible" star sang her praises while discussing their controversial 1999 film "Eyes Wide Shut."

TC reflected on the making of the movie during an interview with the British Film Institute's upcoming Sight and Sound magazine release, obtained by Deadline ...  saying he suggested to director Stanley Kubrick Nicole star opposite him "because obviously she’s a great actress."

The decision proved to be the right one -- despite some folks getting bothered by the film's sexually explicit scenes, the former couple received glowing reviews for their performance. Sadly, they divorced just a few years later.

Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet -- a couple no one saw coming, but now? We can't imagine life without them!

It kicked off at Paris Fashion Week in January 2023, followed by a secret taco date in April. By September, they were full-on PDA at Beyoncé’s show, then making out courtside at the U.S. Open.

Timmy then dodged our Kylie questions, but that smile said it all -- he was in love, and showing it by supporting her at her industry milestones.

Tar Heels fans lighting the torches and sharpening the pitch forks betters stand down ... Antonio Gates tells TMZ Sports no matter what happens at UNC this season, Jordon Hudson should not be labeled a villain.

Of course, there appear to be many in Carolina blue who are already angling to make Bill Belichick's 24-year-old girlfriend a scapegoat following a recent rash of negative headlines about her ... but when we got Gates out at LAX on Friday, he told us the haters should back off.

While he didn't necessarily love that Carolina's new head coach is intermingling so much of his personal life with his professional one -- he made it clear, Jordon will have zero impact on UNC's win-loss record in 2025.

"Too Hot To Handle" star Isaac Francis wasn’t loving it when we brought up his rocky run with "Love Island USA"s Kaylor Martin -- in fact, we definitely hit one heck of a nerve!

You gotta see it -- Isaac snaps, accusing us of being disrespectful and straight-up asks if our only goal is to get reactions outta people. If it was … well, mission accomplished.

Post blow-up, he called his relationship with Kaylor "old."

Ben Affleck doesn't know if he's Hollywood's most eligible bachelor ... but he does know one thing for sure ... Latin women have his heart.

The recently divorced actor was out to dinner at Lavo Ristorante in West Hollywood when a photog asked him in Spanish how he felt about being Hollywood's most eligible bachelor.

Ben laughed off the compliment and said it felt "Muy bien" ... or, "very good" in English.

Kylie Jenner just had a painfully awkward TV moment we know she’d rather forget -- her BF Timothée Chalamet totally swerved a kiss, and yep ... it all went down live on camera!

The couple were fresh off their big red carpet debut at the David di Donatello Awards in Rome Wednesday, when Timothée leaned in to give Kylie a quick kiss before accepting an award -- but when she leaned in for a second smooch, he missed the memo big-time.

TC was clearly caught up in the moment after snagging Italy’s David Award for Cinematic Excellence honor. So when Kylie leaned up for that second kiss, he left her hanging big time 'cause he was too busy soaking in the love from the folks behind them.

Miley Cyrus is in a good place with her father ... because we're told she's been spending time recently with Billy Ray.

Sources close to the Cyrus family tell TMZ ... Miley and Billy have a good relationship and they have been hanging out.

There were a bunch of media reports last year speculating things were icy between them -- mostly after Miley snubbed Billy Ray in an acceptance speech at the Grammys -- but we're told the two have maintained a good relationship over the years and see each other in person from time to time.

Kyle Richards went to her ex Mauricio Umansky in full damsel-in-distress mode -- all because of a snake -- and now he’s spilling whether he swooped in to save the day.

We caught Mauricio outside L.A. hot spot Craig’s Wednesday, and he set the record straight -- turns out he was nowhere near the Palm Springs pad when Kyle called him last week, full shriek mode, about a rogue serpent on the loose in the house.

Check out the video -- from Mauricio’s tone, it sounds like if he had been nearby, he would've dashed over in a heartbeat to save Kyle from her hiss-terical crisis.

Romeo Beckham looked tense while watching a soccer match in Paris Wednesday night amid the boiling family drama back at home involving his relationship with his girlfriend.

While it was likely no joy watching his team, Arsenal, lose to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League semifinal ... we can't help but think Romeo might have had a bit more on his mind considering his romance with Kim Turnbull has thrown a red card between him and his big bro Brooklyn.

TMZ broke the story ... the pair are not on speaking terms because Brooklyn does not approve of Kim dating Romeo.
