The "Teen Mom" star is responding to questions on social media, and she's getting asked a lot about Jace, who we first reported has moved out of Jenelle's Las Vegas home.

Jenelle says she's hoping Jace can change and learn to follow rules ... and in the meantime she's got two other kids at home to care for ... 11-year-old Kaiser from her ex Nathan Griffith and 8-year-old Ensley from another ex, David Eason.

TMZ got the shots ... the Brit hit the London streets Wednesday with a buddy, but couldn’t muster even a hint of a grin ... a sharp contrast to his ex, who’s now riding high on engagement bliss.

Joe -- who called it quits with Taylor after 6 years together, months before she linked up with Travis in 2023 -- clearly looks down and out. Either his buddy’s a dud in the joke department ... or Joe’s really in his feelings over Taylor’s fairy tale with Trav.

Reports of trouble in paradise for "Love Island USA" champs Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales were clearly true ... the winners just confirmed their breakup on social media.

Offset doubled down ... even warning host Kyle Forgeard, who dreams of settling down, not to do it unless he’s ready to flip his whole life upside down.

Jordon Hudson appears to be leaning into the "gold digger" claims ... 'cause Bill Belichick's girlfriend's company -- which is managed by the 24-year-old -- just filed to trademark the term.

Records show the application was filed by TCE Rights Management LLC on Aug. 25 -- and as trademark attorney Josh Gerben first noted, it is with the intention to use it for jewelry and trinkets.

The same company also filed for several trademarks earlier this year ... including phrases like All-Belichick Team, Chapel Bill, The Belichick Way, Dynasty (Bill's Version) and more.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's engagement news was so massive yesterday, they literally broke the internet ... or at least crashed Instagram for some users for a short time.

The couple set the post to Taylor's fan-favorite song, "So High School" from her "Tortured Poets Department" album ... which makes sense given the song is inspired by their romance.

TMZ has learned the engagement ring is an Old Mine Brilliant Cut. The jewelry designer is Kindred Lubeck ... and sources tell us the jeweler worked with Travis to design the sparkler.

Taylor and Travis' "Love Story" started back in July 2023, after the NFL tight end voiced his disappointment that he wasn't able to meet the pop star at her "Eras" tour stop in Kansas City. Travis made the confession on his "New Heights" podcast, admitting he made a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it for her.

Word got back to Taylor, however, who later called the gesture something out of a "John Hughes movie" during her first "New Heights" podcast appearance in 2025.

The couple made their relationship public in September 2023, when Taylor attended her first Kansas City Chiefs game -- cheering on Travis from his box at Arrowhead Stadium.

Prince Jackson -- Michael Jackson's son -- just put a ring on it after 8 years with his college sweetheart, Molly Schirmang.

He continued ... "We've traveled the world, graduated and grown so much together. I'm excited for this next chapter in our lives as we continue to grow and make great memories. I love you babs 😘."

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few years, you know Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are one of the biggest power couples out there right now.

And it turns out the pop superstar songwriter and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end's love story's gonna keep getting more interesting ... because they announced their engagement in August 2025!

We're going to take a look back at how the happy couple ended up together and see what led to the professional football player getting down on one knee and popping the big question.

We're gonna start off by looking way back to 2016, when Travis said he'd kiss Taylor in a game of "Kiss, Marry, Kill" with AfterBuzz TV ... funny how that worked out, right?

The athlete and the singer didn't officially cross paths for another few years, when the tight end attended his now-fiancée's "Eras" Tour stop in Kansas City, Missouri, which took place in July 2023.

Travis spoke about the experience on his "New Heights" podcast, and said he tried to meet up with Taylor after the show and give her a friendship bracelet personalized with his phone number -- talk about a smooth move! -- but he was unsuccessful.

He said she had to "save her voice" and stuck to not speaking much before or after her concerts ... and he added he "took it personal." Taylor later told Time she thought Travis' call-out was "metal as hell," and they started seeing each other not long after that.

Rumors started swirling within Taylor's fanbase regarding her relationship with Travis when she was spotted at a Chiefs game in September 2023, where she was pictured sitting right next to his mom, Donna.

The singer and the athlete were also photographed walking out of Arrowhead Stadium after the game -- although neither of them gave any confirmation about their relationship at the time.

Taylor later told Time the two had already been dating before she attended the athlete's game and said they'd "had a significant amount of time" together before their fans had any suspicions about their romance.

The singer added neither she nor her partner would ever "be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date" ... hey, privacy's a nice thing to have.

Taylor and Travis became much more open about their relationship in October 2023, when they were spotted holding hands as they left the after-party for a "Saturday Night Live" episode in which they were both guests, making a cameo together.

And if there wasn't enough proof for her fans then ... she planted a kiss on his cheek in a photo shared by the fiancée of one of Travis' teammates shortly afterward.

She actually changed up a set of lyrics from her track "Karma" during an "Eras" Tour stop in Buenos Aires, Argentina in November 2023 to reference Kelce, who was in attendance at the concert.

Oh, and she ran into his arms and gave him a kiss once the show was over, according to People -- if that's not love, we don't know what is!

The pair really opened up to the public about their relationship in 2024, when they began attending high-profile events together -- like Super Bowl LVIII, when Taylor joined Travis on the field after the game.

They made their romance Instagram official four months later when she shared a selfie showing them hanging out with Prince William and two of his kids.

Travis made a much-hyped appearance on stage at an "Eras" Tour stop in London, where he appeared alongside his now-fiancée as she made an outfit change prior to the start of her track "I Can Do It With A Broken Heart."

Taylor shared her opinion about the athlete's performance in the caption of an Instagram post,  where she wrote she was "cracking up/swooning" about his appearance.

Taylor was on deck to see Travis play in Super Bowl LIX in February 2025 -- although the night ended up being a bit of a downer, as the Chiefs ended up losing to the Philadelphia Eagles -- the team Travis' brother Jason used to play for.

The couple bounced back after the defeat, and Travis shared several photos featuring the singer on his Instagram account in July 2025.

Taylor made a much-hyped appearance on the "New Heights" podcast in August 2025, where she announced the title of her 12th album, "The Life Of A Showgirl."

The happy couple locked lips on camera while taping the episode, where Travis' brother screamed when his future sister-in-law revealed the name of her new record.

Alright folks, here's the moment you've probably been waiting for ... Taylor and Travis revealed their engagement by sharing a joint Instagram post in August 2025.

The pair's post included several photos showing them in love in a flower-filled garden.

Oh, and the hitmaker made sure to show off the impressive ring Travis gave her -- and sources told us he'd actually been involved in the piece's design process.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's "love story" update has all of Hollywood rejoicing ... with their various A-list friends praising the big news on social media.

We reported the news earlier today, when Tay and Trav dropped a joint announcement on Instagram, sharing pictures from their floral-filled engagement ... and a close-up of T Swift's new, massive diamond ring.

And it wasn't just Swifties flocking to the internet to celebrate the news, as Taylor and Travis' celebrity friends shared their own joyful responses.

President Trump is changing his tune when it comes to former nemesis Taylor Swift ... he used to say he hated her, but now he's showering her with praise and love following her engagement to Travis Kelce.

POTUS finally said something nice about Taylor ... when a reporter asked him about Tuesday's engagement news during a Trump cabinet meeting.

Trump wished Taylor and Travis "a lot of love" ... and went on to say he thinks Taylor is "a terrific person."

Travis Kelce looks like he may have dropped to one knee and asked Taylor Swift to marry him at a location that's super familiar to them ... because there's a lot suggesting the proposal went down at the NFL star's home.

We've been combing over Taylor and Travis' engagement announcement photos ... and while we can't get a confirmed answer on where exactly the proposal happened, it looks like Travis' estate in a Kansas City suburb is the likely location.

The couple shared photos of them surrounded by trees and a bunch of floral arrangements in  a garden area with lots of rocks, stones and plants ... and the photos show depth and trees beyond the garden area.
