In the past, Khloé Kardashian has expressed a lack of interest in romantically reconciling with her baby daddy, Tristan Thompson. The NBA player has previously committed a number of adulterous acts while dating the California native. Still, she’s been by his side following the death of his mother, Andrea Thompson, early last month.
Due to her undeniably caring nature, some fans have speculated that the Canadian’s recent loss will push him and the mother of two back together. They spent some time in Ontario to arrange a funeral with other Kardashian-Jenner clan members and Drake. Since then, it’s been reported that Thompson purchased a house just two miles from his ex.
As Page Six notes, the reunion rumours only circulated faster thanks to an interesting post on the Good American founder’s Story last week. “A woman that found peace instead of revenge can never be bothered,” the quote in question says. While the gossip continues to spread, Kardashian has made it known that she’s not interested in dating on Twitter.
Who has time for a man lol I have a 6 month old baby and True and I are sickly codependent on one another. Ha! I secretly love it. No but for real…. No man right now…. He’s in my prayers too ha!
“Who has time for a man lol? I have a 6-month-old baby and [my daughter] True and I are sickly codependent on one another. Ha! I secretly love it,” she wrote during a Q&A with followers early on Monday (February 6). “No but for real… No man right now… He’s in my prayers too ha!”
A source close to the former couple insists that they’re not romantically involved again. The last time they were working on their relationship was when Thompson met Maralee Nichols. He subsequently welcomed his fourth child with her following their hookup gone wrong. For her part, Khloé was briefly linked to a private equity investor last summer. Later on, she also made headlines with 365 Days actor Michele Morrone.

Before she met Thompson, Kardashian was previously in an equally as tumultuous relationship with Lamar Odom. Since their divorce was finalized several years ago, the former NBA player has been candid about his wrongdoings in their marriage. Specifically, he admits that he’s embarrassed about past acts of infidelity.
During a recent interview, the 43-year-old recalled a time when his then-wife walked in on him with another woman in a hotel room. According to Odom’s account, the reality starlet went on to “beat [the] bitch ass,” though no charges were pressed as a result of the altercation. Read all about that drama here, and check back later for more pop culture news.
In the early days of his career, Eminem frequently made mention of his daughter, Hailie Jade, throughout his music. From “Hailie’s Song” to “My Dad’s Gone Crazy,” the father of three made his love for the young girl evident from the start. Though it seems like just yesterday when she was a little girl, the social media star revealed today (February 6) that she’s officially engaged to be married.
The Detroit native shared a selection of photos to Instagram earlier this afternoon. The first one finds her popping open a bottle of champagne with her beau. In the next shot, he’s down on one knee, holding a jewellery box in his hands. At the same time, Jade looks at him in obvious shock and excitement.
Image number three gives a close-up of the elegant ring. It sits on the newly engaged entertainer’s finger as she holds a glass of champagne. “Casual weekend recap… 2.4.23,” she wrote in the caption. “I love you @evanmcclintock11.”
In the post’s comment section, several fans have already been making Eminem-related jokes. “Did he pass the freestyle test tho?” someone asked Jade. “Looks like his knees were [weak],” another person joked, referencing the 8 Mile star’s “Lose Yourself” lyrics. Even with the dry humour unfolding in her replies, the social media personality looks to be happier than ever.

As TMZ notes, we know little about the couple’s relationship, aside from the fact it began in 2016. Slim Shady also appears to have given his approval. He previously briefly spoke about his daughter’s romance during a podcast interview. In the chat, the “Mockingbird” hitmaker praised his adult kid for following a good path, graduating college, and maintaining a steady relationship.
News of a wedding is certainly exciting, but that’s not the only thing Hailie has been working on as of late. In the midst of last summer, she unveiled her plans to launch the Just A Little Shady podcast, during which she reflects on life growing up with a world-famous parent, among other things.

In another episode last fall, the bride-to-be hosted a Q&A with fans during which she candidly addressed their inquiries. At one point, she took time to specifically explain whether she’s bothered by people asking questions about her celebrity dad. Read everything Jade had to say on her show here, and check back later for more pop culture news.
After previously rapping about his crush on Angela Simmons in his “Down In The DMs” track, Yo Gotti has officially bagged the 35-year-old. Relationship rumours began circulating last September when she rapped along to the aforementioned namedrop during a night of partying. Shortly afterwards, they raised more eyebrows by posting matching vacation photos on their Instagrams.
Things were relatively quiet for the CMG head and his rumoured girl through the last few months of 2022. However, when the new year began, the New York native promptly let the world know that she was “happier than ever” with Yo Gotti. We’ve obviously been seeing more and more of the couple in public recently. This past weekend, for example, they spent their date night at the Grammys.

Like many other huge names in the industry, Gotti took a trip to Los Angeles to walk the red carpet and take in some astounding performances last night (February 5). His date for the evening, Simmons, looked as stunning as ever in a curve-hugging black dress. It came complete with a white feather trim around the bottom.
She also wore her hair in a slick updo, complete with a bang. For his part, the recording artist looked undeniably dapper in a black and white tuxedo. He opted to accessorize with a bowtie and shiny studs in his ears. In a video later uploaded to his social media, Gotti and the shoe designer walk through the venue as he tells the camera that Simmons’ feet are in pain.
“She gotta get it together,” the 41-year-old jokes as she struggles to keep up. After seeing the pair take on the red carpet together, some Twitter users chiefly expressed concern at their lack of smiles and genuine energy in some photos. “This Angela Simmons and Yo Gotti relationship seems very pressed [and] staged,” one user said.
“Idk what it is, just not looking [like an] organic, genuine relationship.” Another added, “Yo Gotti ain’t smiled since he been with Angela Simmons.” On the other hand, other social media sleuths simply praised the Memphis native for finally bagging his longtime crush.

This Angela Simmons &’ Yo Gotti relationship seems very pressed n staged . Idk what it is just not looking a organic genuine relationship
I don’t get why the men who finally get their “dream girl” suddenly look miserable and never smile after doing so… like what’s going on? JLo and Ben or Angela Simmons and Yo Gotti https://t.co/rrMRFW8cMk
Yo Gotti has the same facial expression in every picture w. Angela Simmons. As if he got what he want, but don’t know what to do w. it. Like, why you looking so baffled my nigga?
One month after tragically losing his mother to a heart attack, Tristan Thompson has broken his silence. The Canadian athlete shared a touching tribute to Andrea via his Instagram page on Sunday (February 6), thanking her for raising him right while also apologizing for any embarrassment he might have caused. At the same time, he promised his family matriarch that he would do everything possible to take care of what she left behind.
“Dearest mommy in heaven, It has been one month since you’ve been gone,” he emotionally began. “I’m in disbelief. I’m in the deepest part of sorrow & grief My soul is empty as I come to terms that my biggest supporter/superhero is gone. I cannot thank you enough for always being a woman of faith, being one of God’s warriors, fighting back with whatever the world threw our way.”

Thompson then vented about his newfound desire to hear Andrea’s voice one last time. He promised her that her sacrifices over the years on behalf of her family didn’t go unnoticed and that she was the strongest woman he’s encountered in his life. “I know you’re here as I write this letter,” he penned in his caption.
“All I can say is, I’m sorry mommy for the wrong decisions I’ve made in my life. I’m sorry for the embarrassment and pain. You raised me better than what I was able to show you,” Tristan went on to say, potentially referencing his past infidelities, among other scandals. “But I have also learned sorry is not enough. Actions speak louder than words. So I won’t just say sorry.”
According to his post, Thompson plans to take great strides to show Andrea and the world what an amazing son she raised. “I will show you that even when we fall and make mistakes, we get back up. You are my motivation. Stand beside me as I become the man I know you always believed in. I’m going to make you proud, I promise.”
In conclusion, the father of four also promised that his younger brother, Amari, is going to be taken care of. “I know they say time heals all but I don’t think this pain will ever go away,” he wrote in reflection. “We had so many memories and more I wanted to share with you. We will still share them but now from heaven. As the tears roll down my face, all I can ask is please continue to be my light.”
Tristan’s tribute to his late mother is undeniably touching, and it’s certainly not the only one we’ve seen dedicated to Andrea lately. The Brampton native’s ex, Khloé Kardashian, filled a photo dump with her sweetest memories of her children’s grandmother. “I know you never wanted to leave your boys. They are your entire world,” her lengthy caption reads.
“I have so many emotions and still I feel numb. Life can be brutally unfair at times. This has been one of the toughest times in so many of our lives. But at the same time, I feel blessed that I am lucky to have had someone that makes saying goodbye so incredibly difficult,” she also wrote.

Kylie Jenner has been in the spotlight since she was a little girl, thanks to Keeping Up With the Kardashians. As she grew up in the public eye, the mother of two also introduced some of her friends into the world of celebrity – chiefly Jordyn Woods and Stassie Karanikolaou. The socialite is no longer friends with the former, but she and the latter remain incredibly close.
As the bestie of a billionaire, fans are naturally curious about the 25-year-old’s life. She shares much of it with followers on Instagram. Like many other stars, though, she prefers to keep her love life lowkey. In recent weeks, however, she and TikTok star Jaden Hossler have been fuelling romance rumours with their flirtatious posts.

On January 20th, the 21-year-old included Stassie in his “Sorry. Mommy?” viral video challenge. This is what first prompted fans to speculate something is unfolding between the pair. “Can we take this as confirmation of their relationship?” one user pondered in the comments.
Earlier this month, the internet personality posted Hossler on her TikTok page. The audio she used at the time said, “And then there were two,” further turning the rumour mill. Over the weekend, things only got more serious when they confirmed their romance with a kiss on Instagram.
On Sunday (February 5), the Tennessee native shared two photos of him and Stassie standing in the mirror. The first sees them cooly posing, her rocking all black while he pairs a periwinkle blue shirt with his dark bottoms. With a swipe of their finger, followers then see the pair sharing a sweet kiss, Hossler’s arm wrapped around his girl’s shoulder.
Additionally, Stassie sneakily confirmed their relationship in a photo dump of her own. “My life be life,” she wrote in the caption yesterday, kicking things off with an image of a friend pouring her a cocktail. Afterward, we see a fun mirror selfie with her BFF Jenner, an adorable grey kitty, and a subtle thirst trap.
Later on in the post, the model dropped off a picture of Hossler laying behind her. His tattooed wrist is obviously visible behind her head. Neither of them has officially spoken about their budding romance, but as they say, a picture (or two) is worth a thousand words.
What do you think of Stassie Karanikolaou’s new relationship with Jaden Hossler? Sound off in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news.
Quavo and Offset are reportedly still on bad terms. According to TMZ, the former Migos groupmates got into a physical altercation backstage at the Grammys. Apparently, it all happened right before Quavo hit the stage to perform “Without You” in honor of Takeoff during the “In Memoriam” part of the show. The two allegedly got into a physical fight that required them to be pulled apart.
According to reports, the Grammys invited Offset to join Quavo on stage during the tribute to Takeoff. However, Quavo refused to allow him on stage and be a part of the moment. The “MESSY” rapper then prevented Offset from emerging on the stage during the segment and shortly after, they allegedly squared off. Neither Quavo nor Offset have publicly confirmed whether this altercation occurred. However, TMZ’s “Offset sources” allege Quavo began the fight.

Fans expressed disappointment that Offset didn’t join Quavo on stage. However, it isn’t necessarily surprising. Quavo wrote “Without You” specifically for Takeoff, while neither Qua’ or ‘Set have necessarily put aside their differences publicly. However, Offset stated during his speech at Takeoff’s funeral that he wanted to focus on brotherhood and family.
At the time of Takeoff’s death, Offset was already on the outs with his group mates. He pursued his solo career while Quavo and Takeoff delivered their joint project, Only Built For Infinity Links. There have been a number of rumors surrounding why they haven’t been on good terms, including allegations that Offset and Saweetie were involved in some sort of entanglement.
Besides his altercation with Quavo, Offset also got into an online spat with J. Prince. The Rap-A-Lot CEO claimed Offset wasn’t around for Takeoff when he was alive, prompting a scathing response from the “Ric Flair Drip” artist.
“I don’t know what the f*ck y’all got going on. You speaking on my real brother. How dare one of y’all n***as speak on me and Take relationship, n***a? I don’t know you n***as from a can of paint,” he said. “Nobody said nothing but you n***as. Who y’all n***as think y’all n***as is? John Gotti, n***a? Ain’t nobody going for none of that. I ain’t standin’ for none of that sh*t y’all n***as talkin’ about either.”
We will continue to keep you posted on any more news surrounding Offset and Quavo’s alleged altercation at the Grammys.
The hype surrounding the 2023 Grammy Awards has been building since the nominees were first announced last November. In the months since then, celebrities have been busy plotting the perfect outfit, speculating about potential winners, and finally attending the Los Angeles ceremony last night. It was an undeniably star-studded evening, and while there were lots of major music moments, fans feel as though some snubbing took place as well.
For hip-hop lovers, one of the night’s biggest prizes is Rap Album of the Year. On this year’s list of contenders were DJ Khaled, Pusha T, Future, Kendrick Lamar, and surprisingly, Jack Harlow’s sophomore effort. Ultimately, the Compton-born lyricist came out on top for his work on Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers. Additionally, he took home trophies for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance as well.
Of course, the biggest winner of the night was Beyoncé. She made history while winning four of the nine categories that found her nominated, including Dance/Electronic Album, Traditional R&B Performance, R&B Song, and Dance Recording. The mother of three was also up for Album of the Year, though that was given to Harry Styles for his third studio album.

Like many NBA players, Ben Simmons isn’t just known for his work on the court – his love life also keeps him in the news near-constantly. As you may recall, the 26-year-old was previously engaged to English TV host Maya Jama after a whirlwind romance. Things between them, unfortunately, didn’t end as expected. Recently, the athlete took legal action to have the ring he proposed to his ex with returned.

Upon receiving the demand letter, the brunette beauty’s team says she was shocked, but happy to comply with the request. It remains unclear if she’s been seeing anyone else in between her hosting duties on Love Island. However, we do know that Simmons seems to have moved on. According to Page Six, he was out in New York City with a certain actress earlier this weekend.
The Brooklyn Nets player and 33-year-old Eiza González were photographed in the Big Apple on Friday (February 3). Apparently, they’ve been seeing one another on the low for months. “They’ve been hiding and trying not to get seen [together],” an insider tells the outlet.
During their date night, the rumoured couple were photographed leaving Manhattan’s Bondst restaurant. It’s a high-end sushi place, and the pair are said to have dined alongside “a group of friends.” A source notes that “They weren’t alone [for the dinner], but they are very clearly together.”
The images taken don’t show any PDA between the two, but they allegedly went back to Simmons’ place together afterward. It remains unclear if she spent the night, or how serious the couple considers their union to be at this time. The baller clearly has a type, as he’s been involved with plenty of dark-haired beauties in the past.
He previously dated Kendall Jenner for two years, from 2017 to 2019. Their romance was inconsistent in nature, and the model eventually moved on with Devin Booker, who she’s also no longer with. Yet another starlet who once was seeing Simmons is 333 singer, Tinashe.

She may currently be spending time getting to know Simmons, but last spring, González was in a relationship with Aquaman actor Jason Momoa. The two got together following his separation from Lisa Bonet, and though it didn’t last, it certainly had everyone talking about them. Read all about the short-lived romance here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
Beginning February with a bang, Kevin Gates surprised his fans on the first of this month by sharing his 2013 project, THE LUCA BRASI STORY on DSPs. The 22-track effort boasts popular titles like “IDGAF,” “IHOP,” and “Narco Trafficante” featuring Percy Keith. Additionally, friends like Master P, Curren$y, and Terrance Hines came through to assist the rap star.
Aside from that the last release we got from the father of two was last November’s FYP EP. However, on Sunday (February 5), his wife Dreka hinted that Kevin is cooking something up for listeners. On her Instagram page, the businesswoman posted a teaser for a new video single called “Breakfast,” and it looks seriously tasty, to say the least.

“Who…I mean… What do you like for #Breakfast?” Dreka asked followers in the caption. The visual begins with a landscape shot of snowy mountains and trees as the “Really Really” rapper’s name flashes across the screen. A white SUV eventually enters the frame, and after more scenic B-roll, we watch Kevin help his partner out of the passenger side.
She smiles ear to ear as he looks at her with adoration. Before you know it, the camera takes us into the kitchen, where the Gates family patriarch is shirtless and chefing up some food. After preparing a plate, he walks it over to Dreka, who sits patiently waiting on the couch in black lingerie.
The couple shares a sweet kiss, which cuts to footage of Kevin rapping the upcoming release out in the snow. No premiere date came along with the teaser video, but it’s been receiving plenty of love from friends and fans so far. “Love y’all together and ion even know y’all lol,” author Porsha Guobadia wrote.
“Yes girl he’s always gonna come back home,” and “The manager and wife. Y’all need to stay out of these folk’s business,” others wrote. “Listennnn, Dreka, if you with it! I’m with it,” someone else, still, teased the 36-year-old.

While rumours of their separation rocked the internet early last summer, many curious fans began digging into the couple’s history. When Kevin’s career was first taking off, Dreka’s role included DJing his shows and handing out his CDs to strangers. She remained loyal through various ups and downs over the years, leaving many shocked when they seemingly split in 2022.
Though she loves her husband dearly, the mother of two made it known that her own identity as a woman is important to her too. Besides appearing in his videos from time to time, Gates also has various pursuits of her own on the go. Read more about her career path here, and check back later for more hip-hop news.
Since late last year, many reality TV lovers have been watching the drama between Blueface and Chrisean Rock play out on the small screen. The main episodes of the first season of Crazy In Love have come to an end. Thankfully, Zeus is keeping users entertained with a few bonus releases. In the most recent one, the embattled couple finds themselves feuding over the idea of bringing another girl into the bedroom.
On Saturday (February 4), @theneighborhoodtalk uploaded a preview from the series, teasing the drama that’s to come. In the clip, the 26-year-old asks his girlfriend if she’s “part of the LGBTQ community” as she tells him about her upcoming performance at Pride. “I am not gay baby,” she immediately responds while doing her makeup.
“You just like to make out with girls for fun?” Blueface asks Rock, who gives him a telling look. “Not no more,” she says in a quiet tone of voice. “I like making out with you.” After hearing this, the “Thotiana” rapper suggests that they find another woman to join them for an evening of kissing. “You could just make out with her, and that’s it,” he pleads.
The 22-year-old is undeniably unimpressed with her beau’s plan. “You’re making me uncomfortable,” she tells him. “This is why I be ready to fight you. Since when did I start wanting to share?!” As the California native plays it off, saying, “What do you mean? You like to kiss!” Chrisean makes it known that she’s not okay with getting intimate with another girl in the presence of “[her] n*gga.”
“I ain’t gonna kiss her,” Blueface pushes the idea further. “You kiss her!” The Baddies cast member begins getting emotional at this point, and her boyfriend responds with, “That’s crazy. You kiss all the bitches without me, but with me, you don’t want to kiss nobody.
We’ve obviously seen them engage in endless bickering on Crazy In Love. However, Blueface and Chrisean’s antics have been taking place in real-time too. Just a few days ago, the pair appeared on The Perfect Network podcast. During that interview, Rock was left annoyed when her beau spent too much time talking to co-host Moniece Slaughter.
