Rita Ora Proposed To Taika Waititi

by

In a recent interview with Vogue, Taika Waititi and Rita Ora shared some new details of their low-key wedding, as well as their nontraditional engagement. According to the filmmaker, his songstress wife turned the tables on her now-husband, proposing to him instead of the other way around. As one does when Rita Ora proposes to them, he claims that he agreed right away.

“She proposed to me, and I said ‘yes’ instantly,” the New Zealander explained. He also shared that Ora popped the question only a couple of weeks before they officially tied the knot. It all went down in the summer of 2022, during their vacation together in Palm Springs. They then went on to hold a very small ceremony at their LA home in August of that year. “There were about eight people there — just close friends and family, and parents on Zoom,” Waititi recalled.

The pair also shared some never-before-seen photos from their wedding day with the outlet. “I wore my mum’s pearls that she got married in,” Ora explained. “My sister walked me down the aisle, and it was just really simple and blissful and calm and private and fun.” She went on to reveal that her and her husband have had a blast with fans’ speculation. “It’s actually been quite entertaining for us to see the different stories people made up and all the while getting to keep it to ourselves,” she says. “And, I love that we now get to share what really happened—and to do it on our one-year anniversary, no less.” The couple seemed to appreciate the perks of their understated ceremony, as weddings are known to be pretty stressful.

“Yeah, it was beautiful,” Taika says. “Just having close friends and not having it too big. We didn’t have table settings or any of the stressful things that go along with weddings, and it was nice to just have it super-simple. My daughters were there, and they made everything really fun and easy: I think just because we didn’t have the pressure of having caterers and all of these things, you know, people turning up late, and all of the different moving parts.”

Rihanna’s Home Swarmed By Police As Intruder Tries To Propose To Her

by

Rihanna is one of the most popular artists in the entire world. Overall, she has been making a massive comeback from a purely musical perspective. For instance, she was the halftime performer at the Super Bowl. Moreover, she performed her song for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever at the Oscars. Needless to say, everything is going well for the artist these days. She is also pregnant with her second child with A$AP Rocky. On all fronts, Rihanna seems to be doing great, which is amazing to see.

Unfortunately, some people are attempting to disturb her peace. According to TMZ, a man from South Carolina flew out to Los Angeles in an attempt to meet the singer. As the story goes, the man went up to Rihanna’s house and tried to get in. However, security was right there to greet him. When asked about his intentions, he claimed that he wanted to propose to the singer. Clearly, that was never going to be successful, but he tried it regardless.

The security subsequently called police officers who rushed over to the home. From there, they took the man away but eventually released him. Ultimately, the man had not broken any laws, which led to his aforementioned release. While some may find this response by police to be underwhelming, it is fairly in line with what we have seen from these types of cases, in the past. As for Rihanna and her role in all of this, it has yet to be reported whether or not she was home at the time of the intrusion.

Unfortunately, the legendary artist has been subjected to these kinds of invasions before. Back in 2018, Rihanna was away from her home when a man named Eduardo Leon was found inside of the house. He was promptly arrested after telling police that he wanted to have sex with the singer. Thankfully, security was there to make sure this most recent incident didn’t go further than it did.

Vanilla Ice Says Madonna Wanted To Marry Him

by

Vanilla Ice says that Madonna wanted them to get married back in the 1990s. Reflecting on their relationship during an interview on the Just Jenny podcast, the rapper discussed their plans for marriage. Vanilla Ice also elaborated on what led to his and Madonna’s breakup.

“She even proposed to me. I mean things were going so crazy and fast man,” he claimed, before adding, “I was just like, ‘What? I thought the guy was supposed to do that. What do you mean? Wait a minute, this is too fast. I’m just getting started here and I’m way too young for this.’”

Later, Vanilla Ice detailed how the two met, recalling a performance of his in New York City. Madonna had been in attendance. Ice says that he spotted her during the concert “dancing her ass off” in the crowd. “I remember she came back to the dressing room and said hello to me, and she kind of gave me the sexy eyes and I was like, ‘I must be way, way mistaken on that,’” he revealed.

Afterward, Vanilla Ice explained that the release of Madonna’s iconic coffee table book, Sex, led to their break up. The controversial book features adult content including softcore pornography, simulations of sexual acts, and also sadomasochism. Isabella Rossellini, Naomi Campbell, Big Daddy Kane, as well as Vanilla Ice, and more make cameos in the book. Ice says that he didn’t consent to his inclusion in the book, which made him uncomfortable. “I was dating her during that time, so I had no idea about a sex book, I’m doing my own thing. I said, ‘How could you do that to me? And why did you do that to me?’ I could’ve sued her,” Ice further recalled. “I didn’t want to. I was like, ‘I don’t need that controversy. Let’s just let it go and you go your way, I go mine.’”

LaKeith Stanfield Proposes To Model GF, 24-Year-Old Outs Him As Her Baby Daddy

by

LaKeith Stanfield is something of a heartthrob in Hollywood. With many fellow celebrities and fans crushing on him, he has no trouble keeping a woman in his life. Previously, the actor was in a long-term relationship with The Mindy Project star Xosha Roquemore. Now, however, he’s getting increasingly serious with model Kasmere Trice.

The couple became Instagram official just a few months ago. Already, the Sorry To Bother You performer has surprisingly put a ring on it. On Friday (December 30), his partner said on Twitter that her birthday was extra special this year thanks to a proposal.

“Yea… I’m having the best birthday,” she wrote yesterday above beautiful images of the ring, as well as one of the couple sightseeing together. “My baby made me Mrs. Stanfield for my birthday! #LaKeithAndKasmereForever.”

While many have been celebrating the exciting news (and expressing their envy, of course), it seems a woman from Stanfield’s past has a big announcement of her own. On Saturday (December 31), 24-year-old artist Tylor Hurd posted a video revealing herself as the mother of his child.

“Decided to leave being someone’s secret family in 2022. Meet Apollo Stanfield,” she wrote in the caption. Throughout the TikTok, various photos and videos flash across the screen. We see maternity shots of the young woman alone. Next, there’s her after giving birth and the young one’s growth throughout the months.

Additionally, Stanfield appears in some of the footage. He goofily dances as the infant watches on in amusement, and smiles while holding the little one at an arcade.

After she was hit with criticism for sharing her truth so close to her baby daddy’s engagement, Hurd’s social media lit up with a message. “Just to clear a few things up, I’m not jealous that he’s engaged to a woman he’s known for five months.”

“I tried to meet the girl and everything and she ignored me when I tried,” she went on. “What I’m upset about is that he’s made more time to spend with this woman than he’s spent with Apollo her whole life, and has been actively ignoring me when I’m trying to figure things out for our child.”

She concluded, “And those clips of him and her together are all I have in general cause he barely sees her.”

Drake’s Engagement Ring Necklace Reveals He Nearly Proposed 42 Times

by

To celebrate another undeniably successful year, Drake made sure to get himself a gift this holiday season – one unlike anything else currently in his collection. The Canadian is obviously no stranger to embracing the lavish lifestyle, and that clearly shines through on his latest project, designed by jeweller to the stars, Alex Moss.

As Page Six reports, an Instagram Reel went up on Monday (December 12), unveiling the stunning piece. Throughout the clip, the creator specifically explains the precise detail that went into making Drizzy’s order, including hundreds of carats of diamonds (351.38, to be exact).

“New piece titled ‘Previous Engagements,’” Moss wrote in the caption. “For all the times he thought about it but never did it.” Furthermore, he revealed that Drake nearly proposed 42 times in the past, symbolizing the number of diamonds used.

Throughout his narration, the jeweller explains that the project took him over a year to finish. “[It was] an expedition spanning 14 months, every diamond hand selected, inspected to only suit perfection,” he says.

“This monumental art piece was assembled using 351.38 carats of diamonds mounted in 18k white gold.” Talk about a “Rich Flex.”

The comment section is now full of clever quips from fans. “Alex Moss, can you do sumn for me?” one person wrote, referencing popular Her Loss lyrics.

Others comparatively shared their unique ideas for the chain’s name. “Bro moving DIFFERENT! Should have named this piece ‘HER LOSS,’” someone teased. “So who was the two big stones for?” another comment asks. “You should call this piece ‘UNLUCKY LADIES.’”

It remains unclear which of Drake’s former lovers his diamonds are dedicated to. However, we do know for sure that he’s spent time with Julia Fox, Rihanna, Tyra Banks, and SZA.

6ix9ine Proposes To New Girlfriend In Dubai: Report

by

6ix9ine is taking cuffing season seriously this year, according to a new report from HipHopDX. Photos of the rapper in Dubai with a new woman have been making rounds online. Specifically, they’re causing speculation that the pair went through with an engagement.

Earlier this week, DJ Akademiks shared a photo on Instagram. In it, we see the “GOOBA” hitmaker on one knee in front of an elaborate floral display. “Will you marry me?” bright lights in the centre read. His partner holds his hand in a tight white dress as he proposes.

At this time, it remains unclear if the romantic moment was him legitimately popping the question, or just a set-up for a music video or other project.

Though the woman’s face remains mostly hidden in the image, she looks to be different than 6ix9ine’s most recent girlfriend, Jade. Born Rachel Wattley, the rapper’s ex found herself under arrest back in August on domestic violence charges. At the time, she allegedly punched him during a night out at a Miami club.

Footage that went viral online shows a group of women (including his then-partner of four years) arguing with the New Yorker. As they were standing in the street, one of them tries to swing at Tekashi. Immediately afterward, he heads to a car to wait for law enforcement to arrive.

According to the police report, officers saw the couple leave the club in a verbal argument. 6ix9ine also reportedly told them that Wattley assaulted him, and they observed the marks left on his face from the incident.

Witnesses helped them piece together the full story. Jade is said to have hit the 26-year-old, later attempting to grab his chain. Even with the physical altercation, though, the recording artist wasn’t interested in pressing charges.

Since then, they seem to have gone their separate ways. Most recently, 6ix9ine has been romantically linked to the ex-girlfriend of the late Pop Smoke, Alyssa Danielle.

Back in October, he publicly addressed the rumours surrounding them, as did she. Read what 6ix9ine had to say about all the drama here, and check back in with HNHH later for more pop culture news updates.
