Relationships

Dakota Mortensen's legal team is slamming Taylor Frankie Paul after Tuesday's court hearing, claiming she attempted to "assassinate Dakota’s character as a dad."

His attorney, Joel Kittrell, shared the scathing comment with TMZ ... adding Dakota's "only concern is for the welfare of his son, Ever." But, the story is far from over, 'cause Kittrell tells us ... "We look forward to the 30th to tell the true story."

We told you all about the drama that went down Tuesday ... the "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" star laid her complaints out in a restraining order filing she entered in a Utah court, which included a pile of injury photos from an alleged May 2025 assault by Dakota, plus images of bruises on her forehead and knee from an alleged assault on February 23, 2026.

She also accused her second baby daddy of stalking her, assaulting her, and becoming "increasingly possessive" ahead of her now-axed debut as "The Bachelorette."

Aubrey Plaza is starting a family ... because she has a little bundle of joy on the way.

The actress is pregnant with her first child ... according to a report Tuesday from PEOPLE.

Aubrey's is expecting with her partner, Chris Abbott, and the baby is due later this year ... in the fall.

Reza Farahan is spilling some seriously wild tea ... revealing his past fling with 'Biggest Loser' star Bob Harper turned into a friends-with-benefits situation and eventually, a threesome involving Harper's husband.

The "Shahs of Sunset" alum drops the bombshell in 'Memoirs of a Gay Shah,' saying he and Bob first met while working in the fitness world and quickly became "inseparable." Their close friendship soon crossed the line into something physical ... but Reza says it never became the relationship he actually wanted.

Reza -- who is married to Adam Neely -- says he was looking for something deeper but got the sense Bob wasn't interested in anything serious, so he didn't push it and kept things casual.

Sophia Hutchins' inner circle isn't shocked by Caitlyn Jenner claiming her late friend and former manager owed her nearly half a million dollars ... 'cause we're told Sophia had beef with her own family over finances.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Sophia had issues with her relatives over her spending habits long before she became indebted to Caitlyn.

We’re told Sophia was raised by her paternal grandmother, Regina, who was very generous ... footing the bill for Sophia’s private schooling and sending her money for college expenses when she attended Pepperdine University in Malibu.

Our sources say Grandma Regina also paid for Sophia’s flights for travel and debate trips ... and took care of Sophia's "hefty" credit card bills.

Taylor Frankie Paul is getting her day in court ... going toe-to-toe with her ex Dakota Mortensen in a protection hearing ... and a judge is giving Taylor supervised parent time with their two-year-old son.

The judge's ruling followed an hours-long hearing in Utah ... and he says Taylor can see her son for up to 8 hours of supervised parent time each week. The judge says this is a temporary custody arrangement for 3 weeks and 2 days until the next court hearing on April 30. Taylor can break up the 8 hours with her kid into 2-hour or 3-hour increments.

Dakota previously filed a temporary restraining order against TFP and is asking the court to extend the protective order into a long-term one, as authorities investigate accusations of domestic violence, which Dakota brought against Taylor.

Remember ... the temporary protective order meant that Taylor also temporarily lost custody of the couple's 2-year-old son, Ever.

Sharon was all smiles and polite vibes, assuring us the family’s doing well and everything’s on track -- before hopping into her car and heading off.

Joseph Duggar looks like he's got a super supportive wife ... because he was emailing with Kendra Duggar after getting locked up on child molestation allegations ... and they talked religion and music.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, there's an email exchange between Joseph and Kendra, his wife of over 8 years as well as the mother of his 4 children.

Joseph was first to reach out, emailing Kendra on March 23 from an Arkansas jail, saying ... "hopefully this finds you well. love you sweetie! <3 <3 <3 love you to the moon and back."

Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey recently came face to face in the sky ... and TMZ has learned it was as awkward as you'd expect.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the former couple had an unexpected run-in on the same flight from Los Angeles to Kauai, Hawaii on March 29, where both were seated in first class. Despite being in close quarters, we're told the exes went out of their way to avoid each other the entire time.

We're told security on site quickly spotted the individual and alerted authorities.

Kim Kardashian says she learned a lot about success from hospitality mogul David Grutman.

In the foreword for his upcoming book "Take It Personal" -- which comes out April 14 -- the reality star-turned-businesswoman raved about her BFF.

She reflected on how her friendship with David influenced her journey as an entrepreneur, writing ... "When David Grutman has something to teach, you definitely want to listen."

Kim gushed about David's commitment to both personal and professional connections "in a time when so much of our interaction happens on our phones."

Jenelle Evans and David Eason are once again popping up together in public ... and it's only adding fuel to the confusion about where they really stand.

TMZ obtained photos of the exes Saturday at The Sphere in Las Vegas with their kids, taking in a showing of "The Wizard of Oz." A witness tells us the pair didn't present any PDA, but they didn't exactly act like strangers either ... giving off more of a couple vibe than you might expect from two people who insist they're just co-parenting.

Outside the venue, David was seen playing photographer ... snapping pics of Jenelle and the kids as they wrapped up their outing.

Sydney Sweeney kept things low-key for Easter -- ditching the glam and stepping out for a chill date night with Scooter Braun.

Peep this -- the "Euphoria" star was keeping it shy in a fully covered-up fit ... sweater, jeans, cap ... slipping out of L.A.’s Gyu-Kaku right alongside the music mogul Sunday night.

The two looked deep in their couple bubble -- super easy, casual, no flash, just vibing together.

Terry Crews' wife -- Rebecca King-Crews -- is going public with a shocking medical diagnosis ... revealing she's been living with Parkinson's disease for years.

Terry and Rebecca made the surprising announcement on the "Today" show Monday ... saying she was first diagnosed with the disease in 2015.

LeAnn Rimes' had an intense reaction to having her jaw released in a viral video last week ... but Brandi Glanville isn't thrilled about the clip which she seems to think was oversharing.

Speaking on her 'Unfiltered' podcast, Brandi revealed she knows firsthand how painful deep jaw release therapy can be, as she suffers from TMJ -- a disorder that can cause pain in the jaw. Brandi just doesn't understand the need to broadcast it.

Brandi said, "I just don’t know why you share that ... So weird."

On this Easter Sunday, we're getting a rare "peep" at Jennifer Aniston's love life! The actress looks unbelievably adorable all cozied up with boyfriend Jim Curtis in a new pic.

Earlier this year, Jim -- an author and hypnotherapist -- revealed this hot couple's origin story, telling Craig Melvin on the "Today" show that he was introduced to the Emmy winner through mutual friends.

Derrick Fleming dated another "Age of Attraction" cast member after his split from Pfeifer Hill -- but he's saying it wasn't as serious as it's being made out to be -- and that's why he kept it mum at the reunion this week.

ICYMI ... Derrick's fellow castmate, Angel Martinez, announced they were an item once they wrapped filming the show ... and sources close to production tell us they were on a pet name basis ... and at one point would call each other every day -- sometimes talking on FaceTime for hours at a time.

Sources say they flew to each other's respective towns -- Derrick to Denver, Colorado and Angel to Dallas, Texas -- to see each other ... even cementing their connection by doing the deed.
