In the world of celebrity couples, there’s almost always some sort of skepticism. When two high-profile people try to make it work romantically, the chances of a lasting and loving relationship are fairly rare. Usually, the two go their separate ways and sometimes things can get really messy. Luckily for musical superstars Ashanti and Nelly, things have always come across as chill and respectful even when they separated. Overall, their situation is pretty unique. They originally met just over two decades ago, split in the mid-2010’s and got back together in the 2020’s. Now, they married as of last December and how have a child together.
Given how they have circled back to each other, you could say that it’s a fairytale ending. From afar, fans have been obsessed with how much they truly seem to love one another. Anytime they share something regarding their child, a date night, or a special occasion, they flock to show their support. Because of how many people cheer them on, it was no surprise when an interviewer on ET asked them about their connection.
Ashanti spoke first and she couldn’t stop fawning over how much Nelly has meant to her. She describes both of them as “strong headed” and “strong-willed” adults, later adding, “So when two leaders come together…” That’s when the interviewer interjected and said “I call that a power couple.” Ashanti wholeheartedly agreed and went on to confidently say that she has her “soulmate” in Nelly. The rapper was absolutely touched by her words and had nothing but positive and glowing things to say about her wife and mother.

Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta co-stars Lil Scrappy and Bambi Benson got on Instagram live to clarify their relationship. The two of them were married from 2017 to 2023, and had three kids together. They divorced last year, but continue to co-parent their kids, Xylo, Breland, and Cali.
In a recent Instagram live stream, the two of them addressed questions regarding the status of their relationship. They reiterated that they are continuing to co-parent their kids. They also confirmed that neither of them were leaving the show. The pair have both been series regulars for over ten years. The two of them also addressed a fan. The fan claimed that their network wanted to break them up for added drama. Scrappy said that they always had to go their separate ways, and that MTV did not “give a f*ck.” Based on the clips from the live stream, they are still on good terms. The pair laughed and joked with one another several times, any animosity seemingly put to rest.
Lil Scrappy & Bambi Benson Address Their Relationship
Lil Scrappy has been linked to his ex, Erica Dixon, ever since he and Benson split. Dixon was an original member of the Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta cast, but left for a few years before returning in a limited role in 2018. Bambi Benson filed a court order against Scrappy in April after Dixon posted images on social media of their children, which reportedly violated the terms of their divorce agreement. The court filing did not specify that Dixon was the offending party, but fans of the show quickly figured out who she was referring to.
The two of them recently attended a party together as well, though Benson confirmed that they were not back in a relationship. MTV released a trailer of the upcoming season of their show soon after. The twelfth season premiered on July 23. Musically, Scrappy has not released anything new in almost six years. His day job as a series regular on Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta is likely enough for him at this point in his career.
Rubi Rose and Druski (Drubi) have seemingly split up, after the Kentucky femcee emphatically labeled herself as single. To many, this may not come as a surprise, as people were quick to question the validity of their relationship. But whether you want to believe that it not, this confirms that they were indeed an item. This news comes courtesy of The Shade Room, and this relationship update was revealed during Paris Fashion Week. In short and blunt fashion, Rubi Rose was asked what her favorite love song was, given they were in the aforementioned city.
“Um, f*** love“, she told the interviewer. However, she was not referring to the song by XXXTENTACION. Instead, she was sharing how she has seemingly been feeling lately. Before abruptly walking away, Rose made it known that she is not with anyone anymore. “Okay, I’m single, guys”. The Shade Room is also saying that Druski has yet to speak out about this breakup and that neither of them were following each other on Instagram.
But instead of just moving on from the star comedian, Rubi is supposedly ready to make herself totally available again. In a clip reshared from HOLLYWOOD UNLOCKED off her IG story, the model was sporting her figure in a sultry fashion. She captioned the video, “Responding to DMs”, with a link attached. When you click on it, it takes you to her version of a Linktree. It includes shortcuts to her OnlyFans, Snapchat, as well as the music video for “Deserve To Die”. Given the fact that the track deals with men cheating on women, some are speculating that Druski was possibly getting with someone else. Regardless, it will be interesting to see what happens between them.
What are your thoughts on Rubi Rose saying that she is now single? Do you think that her relationship with Druski was truly real? How do you feel about her seemingly making herself available already?

NBA star James Harden recently confirmed his relationship with fashion designer Paije Speights. The couple made their romance Instagram official and received a lot of public interest from fans and the media, especially after accidentally becoming a meme couple. However, Paije Speights herself largely remains an enigma and not much is known about her background. That is, other than her rise in the fashion industry. Nonetheless, there are few details of her personal life, particularly about her relationship with James Harden.
Paije Speights is a Detroit native who has been making waves in the fashion industry with her unique blend of streetwear and high fashion. Her first appearance in the limelight came about with her appearance on HBO Max’s reality series The Hype in 2021. Although he finished in third place, she left a lasting impression on the viewers. Moreover, her designs, which celebrate Black culture, were notably highlighted by fans.
Since then, Paije Speights, a talented entrepreneur and designer, has been the force behind Front Paije Designs, her design brand that has captured the attention of a global audience. Her flair for design and her commitment to her craft also seems to have earned her a dedicated following. Altogether, her brand’s Instagram page boasts an impressive 79.5k followers.
Further, Paije Speights’ career journey is not just about her own success, though. In fact, she’s gained a reputation for uplifting and representing her community. Her business and the brand she established for herself present a passionate advocate for inclusivity within the fashion industry. Paije’s designs reflect her dedication to creating streetwear that resonates with her heritage and the modern fashion landscape. Speight’s appearance on HBO Max’s The Hype in 2021 was pivotal in her advocacy journey. She used the platform to voice her mission to represent Detroit, women, and the Black community. Today, her work at Front Paije Designs celebrates attempts to break gender norms through fashion and style.
Besides her advocacy in fashion, Speights is also a singer. Her stage name is the same as her brand- Front Paije. In 2020, Front Paije released the single “Hood B*tches.” She also once sang live with Toni Braxton and Gabriel Union at a Miami Heat charity function in 2015.
Paije Speights’s personal life is now, more than ever, of interest to the public, due to her relationship with James Harden. However, she’s found love on the court once before. Speights is a mother to a son named Prynce Almario Chalmers, born from her previous relationship with two-time NBA champion Mario Chalmers. Speights and Chalmers were spotted together as early as 2014 before welcoming their child together in 2018 and then splitting afterward. The two parents reportedly share custody of Prynce. Speights was also photographed kissing Sixth Man winner Lou Williams at an airport in 2022.
Early whispers of a budding romance between Paije Speights and James Harden, the LA Clippers superstar, began to surface in the early months of 2024. The rumor mill started churning when Speights was spotted at multiple NBA games. Speculations were put to rest on May 24, 2024, when James Harden took to Instagram to share a candid snapshot of Speights accompanied by a heart emoji.
She also posted a picture of Harden with a heart emoji and the caption “Uno.” The couple’s relationship quickly escalated from private whispers to public displays. A particularly memorable moment between the two came later at retired NBA player Rajan Rondo’s star-studded wedding. On June 9, two days after the wedding had taken place in Italy, the internet was abuzz with a fresh meme, courtesy of Speights and Harden.
During the wedding reception, Rondo’s new bride, Latoia, playfully flung her bridal bouquet into a group of eager attendees. The bouquet inadvertently landed near Paige’s foot, and she bent to pick them up. However, upon retrieving the flowers, the basketball star’s reaction was priceless—his frozen look of shock stayed on for quite a while. Even Speight’s kiss on his forehead while holding the bouquet did nothing to change the look on his face. Besides the wedding clip, the couple seems to be keeping the media receipts of their love to a minimum.
At the end of last month, rumors began to swirl that Rubi Rose and Druski were an item after the comedian shared some photos of the two of them enjoying a vacation together. They’ve since confirmed their romance, and despite receiving some criticism for it online, appear to be going strong. They continue to flaunt one another on social media, winning more fans over daily.
Currently, for example, fans are fawning over a hilarious clip they shared this weekend. In it, Rubi shows off her love for Druski by smacking his butt. While it may not have been his preferred PDA, The Shade Room‘s comments section is now flooded with Instagram users convinced that this proves their relationship is the real deal. “Oh yeah she really like that man,” one user claims. “Ok I’m starting to believe,” another says.
Of course, there are still some skeptical social media users who aren’t totally buying the idea that Rubi Rose and Druski’s relationship is legit. This is partially due to some leaked DMs from her OnlyFans account that made their rounds online last week. In them, she appeared to tell a fan that Druski was “just a friend.” While this led many to believe that their romance was nothing but a hoax for clout, others pointed out that it’s likely the fan wasn’t actually talking to Rubi, and instead a random person getting paid to answer her DMs.
Either way, it looks as though the pair are becoming closer than ever, and supporters are totally here for it. What do you think of Rubi Rose and Druski proving that they’re still going strong with a new clip? Do you think they make a good couple? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
Jennifer Lopez’s ninth studio album, This Is Me… Now, has had one of the most interesting rollouts in music history. The album was accompanied by a visual film titled This Is Me… Now: A Love Story and a documentary titled The Greatest Love Story Never Told. Both have been the talk of many on social media for the last few weeks. The album and its accompanying material are all heavily inspired by Jennifer Lopez’s romantic highs and lows with her exes throughout her career.
Moreover, it all culminated in her reunion with her current husband Ben Affleck. However, the rumor mill is abuzz with news that “Bennifer” is allegedly having trouble within their marriage. J. Lo has been vocal about wearing her heart on her sleeve, so only the future will tell where the pair stand. Nonetheless, here’s Jennifer Lopez’s entire dating history, featuring her exes and former marriages.
David Cruz (Mid ’80s – Mid ’90s)
Jennifer Lopez’s Ex-Boyfriend and High School Sweetheart, David Cruz, Dead at 51 https://t.co/CCQaDuWZjJ
Not much was known about the first of Jennifer Lopez’s exes. David Cruz was a high-school sweetheart with whom she dated for about a decade. They went their separate ways just as Lopez got her big break with her role in Selena. David Cruz sadly died of heart disease in 2020.
Ojani Noa was Lopez’s first public relationship and marriage. At the time, he worked as a waiter in Miami, where he met the entertainer, and they quickly tied the knot in 1997. Less than a year later, the pair called it quits, seemingly due to Noa getting fired from the Cuban restaurant Lopez had opened at the time. Their split was also messy for a few years, and Noa tried to sue J. Lo multiple times. She even had to send him a cease and desist when he wanted to make a movie about her.
One of Jennifer Lopez’s most popular exes is none other than Diddy. Their romance was highly publicized, and the pair were regarded as a power couple. They began dating at the early stages of Lopez’s venture into music after previously focusing on her acting career. He was also by her side at some of her most iconic moments, such as the 2000s Grammys, when she wore the famous green Versace dress. They broke up due to Comb’s infidelity, and Lopez has stated that they are now friends.
Second Husband: Cris Judd (2001 – 2003)
J. Lo met her second husband, Cris Judd, when he joined the crew for the music video for her song “Love Don’t Cost a Thing.” Judd signed on as the video’s choreographer and director. They got married in 2001 but split less than a year later. Lopez said the pair just “didn’t have what it takes to make a marriage work.”
The most sensationalized relationship of Lopez’s life was surely her pairing with A-List actor Ben Affleck. The couple met on the set of the movie Gigly and were engaged by late 2002. Referred to as “Bennifer” by the media, the high scrutiny of their relationship would cause them to postpone and eventually cancel their wedding. One of the more prominent exes in her life, Jennifer Lopez and Ben would later rekindle their romance two decades later.
Third Husband: Marc Anthony (2004 – 2011)
Only a few months after calling it quits with Affleck, Jennifer Lopez married fellow actor and musician Marc Anthony in a secret ceremony in 2004. This is her longest marriage, and the couple share two kids, fraternal twins Max and Emme. They first collaborated on the song “No Me Ames” from Lopez’s first album, and throughout their marriage, they teamed frequently on various projects. They separated in 2011 and stated that it was a mutual decision. Moreover, they maintain a healthy co-parenting relationship.
J. Lo started dating another dancer shortly after her split from Marc Anthony was announced. She shared that Casper Smart, with whom she had an 18-year age gap, “helped her heal” from the divorce. The couple had an on-and-off relationship for a few years before finally ending things in 2016 after Smart reportedly cheated on her. He notably choreographed many of her performances during their time together.
Rumors that Jennifer Lopez was dating Canadian rapper Drake began to spread in 2016. Drizzy posted a picture of them cozying up on his Instagram. The pair seemed to have spent some time together, but sources say that it was never official. Jennifer Lopez went on record to clarify that she was not in a relationship with Drake, striking him off her list of exes.
Lopez and Rodriguez met at a Yankees game in 2005, and she claims they felt “weird electricity.” However, it wasn’t until 2017 that they would get together. She was with the MLB star for many years, attending multiple events together such as the MET Gala, Oscars, and Golden Globes. In 2019, the pair got engaged in the Bahamas but postponed their wedding due to the COVID-19 Pandemic in 2020. They announced their split a year later, claiming they were “better as friends.”
Rumors that Lopez had reunited with her old flame began to surface in 2021. This followed Lopez and Affleck’s splits from their partners, Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Garner. A year later, they tied the knot at a small, surprise wedding in Las Vegas. Subsequently, they held a bigger event later that year in Georgia. Lopez’s latest album, This Is Me…Now, is dedicated to Affleck, coming full circle from 2002’s This Is Me…Then, which she dedicated to him during their first stint together. While there are rumors that their marriage is now on the rocks, it’s not enough to claim that Ben Affleck joins Jennifer Lopez’s “exes” list a second time.
Clay Gravesande rose to fame as a participant on Love Is Blind. While his time on the show didn’t result in vows exchanged, fans still held out hope that he would find true love. However, things are taking a controversial turn for the social media personality. Gravesande is making headlines for an alleged relationship with the notorious personality and YouTuber Celina Powell. The infamous model has gained a reputation for her multiple allegations against notable Black men. While Gravesande has since shut down the dating rumors, he still refers to Powell as a “cool ass person.” Right now, it’s unclear what went down between the two, but public interest in Clay Gravesande continues to grow.
Clayton Gravesande hails from Somerset, New Jersey, where he attended Franklin High School. He furthered his education at the University of South Carolina, where he excelled as a star sprinter on the track and field team. During his collegiate athletic career, he earned six-time NCAA All-American honors and was team captain in 2014. Professionally, Clay Gravesande is an Enterprise and Sales Entrepreneur. He owns WaveSandy Water Rentals, a jet ski and boat rental business in Charlotte, North Carolina. Clay also supplements his income through an Airbnb rental property, also based in Charlotte.
Clay Gravesande’s Journey: From LoveIsBlind To Public Scrutiny
Clay Gravesande became quite popular when he participated in the sixth season of the Netflix show Love is Blind. During his time there, he made a deep connection with Amber Desiree “AD” Smith. In fact, the pair had made plans to get married. However, despite their strong bond, he made a surprising decision not to marry her at the altar.
In an appearance on The Tamron Hall Show, Clay Gravesande opened up about what influenced his choice on Love Is Blind. He stated that it was due to personal issues and fears of commitment stemming from witnessing his father’s infidelity and its impact on his family. This candid revelation about his struggles resonated with many viewers. In the Season 6 reunion special trailer, Clay expressed that he regretted his decision. Specifically, he admitted that he might have made a mistake by not committing to AD. The reunion episode further teased unresolved feelings, leaving fans speculating about their future.
Recently, Clay Gravesande left Love Is Blind fans wondering what went wrong. This is because he was linked with the infamous social media personality and notorious influencer Celina Powell. Powell has gained a reputation as a controversial figure over the last few years for her unsubstantiated statements about affairs with Black men in the industry. She doesn’t seem to mind the constant criticism, though, and has labeled herself a “Black Widow.”
This is why Clay Gravesande’s rumored relationship with Powell sparked considerable interest. Their alleged connection first came to light when the 28-year-old model shared a video on Instagram featuring her snuggling in bed with Clay. In the clip, Clay could be seen giving Powell a tender kiss on the cheek as she pulls him closer. Shortly after, she posted a steamy photo of herself wrapped around Clay in front of a full-length mirror, further fueling speculation about their relationship.
Clay’s mother, Margarita, was not a fan of the rumored relationship, as she made clear on Instagram. Much to the delight of his fans, Clay has denied any romantic relationship with Celina Powell. He stated that they simply made content together, and he was never after anything serious. Notably, Clay never posted any pictures or videos of her on any of his social media accounts. Powell has also taken down the posts that featured Clay.
Moniece Slaughter, star of Love & Hip Hop Hollywood, is known for disclosing most, if not all, of her personal secrets. She has spoken in the past about her purported one-year romance with Shaquille O’Neal. She alleged that Shaq told her to “kill yourself” over text. In the same interview, she also described intimate things about their relationship, like describing what sex with Shaq was like and giving her take on his “size.” Now Slaughter has thrown some more accusations in Shaq’s way. She says that during her relationship with him, Shaq cheated with multiple women.
Moniece alleges that Shaq cheated on her with multiple women during their four year-long relationship. In her interview on the show “Reality with the King,” she went into more detail about her relationship with Shaq. She also named names of those whom Shaq was cheating with. Slaughter says Shaq cheated with former 106 & Park host Rocsi Diaz and Hoopz from Flavor of Love. She said Shaq dumped her but did not know she was dumped until it all came out.
Slaughter described the relationship as “a mess.” The host asked if Shaq was cheating on her, and she said, “Yes, a lot.” She then knew that she had gotten dumped when Rocsi Diaz popped up with Shaq on the internet. Moneice Slaughter says that in 2012, she got matching tattoos together with Shaq and planned to spend New Year’s Eve together. Then Shaq popped up in the Bahamas with Hoopz, who had the same tattoo she had just gotten from Shaq. She says there was another woman after Rocsi, but she can’t even remember who it was as she is over the situation.
Moneice Says Shaq would always complain about her “mouth” and her speaking mind. But in her eyes, he did not like that she would call him out for cheating on her. She says Shaq made it clear their relationship was exclusive, but obviously, he didn’t really mean it applied to him. The reality TV star is no stranger to messy situations. Overall, it seems like her relationship with Shaq was very messy.
Rubi Rose and Druski are the latest celebrity couple that is getting attention on social media. Overall, they have been spending quite a bit of time with one another. The former video vixen and the online comedian had done some skits together. However, fans simply thought they were just good friends. After all, Rose is the perfect person to insert inside of a Druski skit. That said, when the two started posting photos from vacation, it appeared that things went deeper than just an innocent friendship.
Since those vacation photos, the two have continued to post one another. Despite their affection towards one another, fans still cannot believe they are actually a couple. However, their most recent video together shows that they are very much an item. As you can see, the two are on the water in a boat. Rose is laying down in Druski’s lap and the two are making out. It is one of those videos that new couples love to post to showcase their newfound love that is still very much in the honeymoon stage.
As for the audience, they still aren’t buying it. One has to wonder why not, as it’s not like they have any reason to fake this. “He like her more than she like him. Wheeeew lawwwd,” one person wrote. Meanwhile, another fan noted that Druski is a handsome guy and could easily get with women like Rose. “That fact that yall think homie can’t bag a baddie is beyond me Dru handsome talented funny and a awesome business man point some respect on my boy name,” they wrote.

Julia Fox is known for her breakout role in Uncut Gems, being a fashion icon, and authoring a New York Times best-selling memoir. She even recently unveiled her debut single “Down The Drain,” trying her hand at yet another endeavor. Oftentimes, however, the Renaissance woman’s short-lived fling with Kanye West overshadows it all.
During a recent interview with InStyle, Fox reflected on the whirlwind romance, revealing that it’s put her off from dating anybody else in the industry. “I mean, I think we all know what it is,” she said when asked what public opinion about herself she just can’t shake. “Dating that man for a month—one month. And that’s why I have such a sour taste in my mouth about dating anyone in this sphere. Because I don’t ever want to just be known as someone’s girlfriend. I know I’m so much more than that.”
“And I feel like that happens so much to women in this industry,” Fox continued. “They’re only as good as their partner or they can make a whole career off being some guy’s partner. But regardless, either way, it becomes their identity. And I feel like I have to transcend that, and I want to break that mold, and I want to just stand on my own two feet and not need a man to back me. I did that for years. I’m good. I have established myself, and I want to keep establishing myself. And maybe one day I’ll even be taken seriously.”
What do you think of Julia Fox claiming that her short-lived relationship with Kanye West left a “sour” taste in her mouth? What about her claim that women in the industry’s relationships often inadvertently become their identities? Do you agree with her?
