Relationships

Chelsea Lazkani’s ex, Jeff Lazkani, has hit his breaking point -- telling TMZ he’s done taking heat after two years of nonstop hate, swearing he and Chelsea were long separated way before those "Selling Sunset" cheating rumors started flying.

Jeff tells TMZ that S8 of the Netflix hit was built on a shaky foundation -- a random text from a total stranger claiming he made out with another woman at a hotel back in Dec 2023 -- a storyline he says turned him into a villain.

Jeff categorically denies the whole storyline ... telling us both he and Chelsea tried to make their marriage work, but their love story eventually ran its course.

It was the meeting of the former prime ministers Thursday when Justin Trudeau and his girlfriend Katy Perry had lunch with Fumio Kishida and his wife Yuko ... as Katy winds down the Japanese leg of her world tour.

Fumio -- who was Prime Minister of Japan from 2021-2024 -- posted pics of the double date along with the caption ... "We met many times during my time as Prime Minister, and we worked together to strengthen bilateral relations, including formulating the Japan-Canada Action Plan when he visited Canada."

Seeing as how the 2 former national leaders were already well-acquainted, it seems safe to say they may have been more excited about meeting Katy. Look at those smiles!

2:55 PM PT -- According to divorce papers, obtained by TMZ, Brennon is the one who filed, citing "discord or conflict of personalities" that "destroys the legitimate ends of the marriage relationship and prevents any reasonable expectation of reconciliation."

The papers were filed on November 5 and make no mention of a prenup and instead state Brennon believes they will enter into an agreement to divvy up the estate. This is notable because Alexa apparently comes from money. Fans will remember Alexa's dad, Adam, set high expectations for Brennon to uphold a commitment to his daughter's affluent lifestyle.

Unfortunate news we didn't see coming ... "Love Is Blind" Season 3 stars Alexa and Brennon Lemieux are splitting up after four years and one daughter together.

The couple announced the news in an Instagram post Wednesday, writing ... "After much reflection and many heartfelt conversations, we have made the difficult decision to end our marriage. This choice was not made lightly, and it comes with a great deal of care, respect, and appreciation for the time we’ve shared."

The estranged couple met on the Netflix reality show and tied the knot on camera in July 2021. They welcomed their baby girl, Vienna Ziva Lemieux, 3 years later.

Miley Cyrus is engaged -- and daddy dearest is thrilled, wasting no time blasting out a gushy shout-out to her and new fiancé Maxx Morando to celebrate the happy news!

In an IG carousel Wednesday, Billy kicked things off with a shot of himself, Miley, and Dolly Parton -- giving the country icon full credit as the "greatest godmother" and basically saying that’s why Miley turned out so special.

Since this was all about the engagement, Billy followed up with two sweet shots of Miley and Maxx -- writing, "So happy you and MaxxAgazillion found each other!!!! Congratulations! Happy to see you both so happy!!!"

Meghan Markle might've hoped her cooking would be the way to Prince Harry's heart ... but, he roasted her as hard as a turkey on Thanksgiving -- claiming her mom's is so much better!

The Duke of Sussex made a brief appearance on the "With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration" Netflix special which dropped Wednesday when MM -- along with Chef Tom Colicchio -- made a gumbo Harry tucked right into.

While at first effusive, Harry undercuts Markle's achievement by claiming it's not as good as his mother-in-law's ... leaving Markle totally shocked.

Miley Cyrus has that newly engaged glow ... flashing her shiny new ring while gushing about leveling up with Maxx Morando.

The singer appeared on "Good Morning America" Wednesday morning and spilled the tea -- saying she’s usually a total control freak, but she finally surrendered in her relationship with Maxx ... which is why that proposal completely blindsided her.

Miley said everything in her life lined up perfectly -- from dropping her original song "Dream as One" for the upcoming "Avatar: Fire and Ash" ... to locking in her real-life love with Maxx -- and she couldn’t be more grateful for the double win.

Maxx Morando and Miley Cyrus' love story might be a bit more low-key than those of other celebs, but it's not any less heartfelt ... especially after they got engaged!

We're going to check out what the hitmaker's partner did before their first meeting and see how they ended up sticking it out together.

Maxx works as a musician, and he played drums for The Regrettes from 2015 to 2018.

Give Miley Cyrus her flowers ... because she just reportedly got engaged to Maxx Morando!!!

Maxx's father reportedly let the cat out of the bag when he posted a series of photos from Miley's 33rd birthday ... including one snap where you see a ring on that finger ... and Page Six just confirmed the engagement.

In the caption for his post, Maxx's dad congratulated Miley and his son ... and he even added emojis showing a bottle of champagne and a ring.

Kelly Rizzo fell head-over-heels for her late-husband Bob Saget ... but it wasn't love at first sight -- she says she initially hated the fact he slid into her DMs.

The TV host told Jack Osbourne how they got together on his "Trying Not To Die" podcast ... she explained, "He saw me on Raya, but I didn't see him."

Evidently, Bob figured since Kelly was a Chicago media personality, his friend in Chicago radio might know her. His hunch was correct, and his friend reached out to Kelly, letting her know Bob was going to DM her.

Katy Perry and her new man Justin Trudeau Tokyo drifted into each other's arms in Japan Monday ... and we have pics.

Trudeau joined his new girlfriend on the Japanese leg of her world tour, reportedly grabbing something to eat at a restaurant with its own live sumo wrestling show.

Tough to imagine the former Prime Minister of Canada going from addressing parliament to sitting ringside at a sumo match with his Grammy-nominated lady ... but when in Rome ...

Rihanna may have been wearing a dress Monday night, but it's clear she wears the pants in her relationship with A$AP Rocky!

Check out the clip we got of the singer and her other half at last night's Gotham Awards in New York City ... she tells A$AP she's heading to the exit, but he seems caught up in the crowd and extends his hand out to her.

She gets a bit snappy back -- we can't tell exactly what she says, but it appears she's ready to leave and would like the "Sundress" rapper to follow along.

Amy Schumer is dismissing the gossip that she and Chris Fischer are dunzo in the most Amy way -- a no-BS Instagram post.

Check out the video she shared on her page Monday ... it's a house tour her 6-year-old son Gene filmed with text overlay to address the recent chatter. She immediately brings up her recent ringless IG pics, noting ... "I never wear jewelry."

At another spot on the video, she cheekily adds ... "Whatever ends up happening with Chris has nothing to do with weight loss or autism … fingers crossed we can make it through … he’s the best."

Miley Cyrus can buy herself flowers, but she might not have to ... 'cause she has fans convinced she's engaged to Maxx Morando.

The "Wrecking Ball" hitmaker had fans chatting after arriving at the "Avatar: Fire and Ash" world premiere in Los Angeles on Monday with a diamond ring on that finger.

The sparkler -- set in a thick gold band -- couldn't be missed as she rested her left hand on the musician's chest as they posed on the red carpet.

"90 Day Fiancé" star Matt Branistareanu was in hot water during the show's tell-all, when Jasmine Pineda accused him of only proposing to her because they have a child together ... and speaking to TMZ, Matt seems to be doubling down on that revelation.

Matt and Jasmine welcomed their daughter Matilda in March this year, and have been living together while Jasmine finalizes her divorce from estranged husband Gino Palazzolo.

While Matt and Jasmine share the same address, Matt told us he sometimes sleeps at a buddy's house because of how bad their arguments can get.

Joe Manganiello and fiancée Caitlin O’Connor are leveling up after their engagement -- ditching L.A. and settling into a slower life ... all because they’ve got babies on the brain.

Sources close to the couple tell TMZ Joe and Caitlin packed up for their native Pittsburgh ... officially swapping Hollywood for a place in Joe's hometown of Mt. Lebanon.

We’re told the move came after they realized they wanted to be closer to family -- and figured Pittsburgh would be the perfect place to raise kids ... when that time rolls around.

Bill Belichick's Tar Heels couldn't protect their endzone on Saturday, but the North Carolina head coach at least provided some coverage for his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson ... ditching his coat to keep her warm after the game.

The football legend shifted into boyfriend mode after NC State embarrassed his team in a 42-19 effort ... taking the puffy blue jacket off his back to make sure the 24-year-old Hudson was warm in the Raleigh weather Saturday night.

It didn't look like Hudson was prepared for the cold -- she was wearing a navy and Carolina blue ensemble with see-through printed pants ... and her arms were fully exposed.
