Avril Lavigne & Tyga’s Relationship Not For Publicity: Report

by

Avril Lavigne and Tyga are reportedly serious about dating, according to TMZ. While the couple hasn’t put any labels on their relationship, their recent trip to Paris Fashion Week wasn’t just a publicity stunt. Citing sources close to the two artists, the outlet reports that their hanging out has nothing to do with promoting an upcoming collaboration and that they are genuine about one another.

Lavigne and Tyga have since returned from Paris and are still spending time together. Over the weekend, the two were spotted at the Italian restaurant, Giorgio Baldi, in Sant Monica for a romantic date.

The news comes just weeks after Lavigne called off her engagement to Mod Sun. He had proposed to Lavigne just one year ago while also in Paris. Mod Sun confirmed the split in a post on Instagram afterward. “In 1 week my entire life completely changed…I just know there’s a plan for it all,” he said. “I’ll keep my head up + always listen to my heart, even when it feels broken [broken heart emoji]. Being surrounded by love every night on tour has been an absolute blessing. I have the best friends in the entire world, thanks for always having my back. See you on stage.” Mod had recently included a track titled “Avril’s Song” about his love for Lavigne on his latest album, God Save the Teen. “She blew me a kiss, And I didn’t wanna blow my brains out anymore,” he sings. “And she is everything I’m not. Without her, I am lost.” The two also collaborated on the track “Shelter.”

Tyga was previously in a relationship with Kylie Jenner as well as Blac Chyna, with whom he shares a child. Chyna recently reflected on their relationship during an interview on The Jason Lee Show. She remarked that Tyga kicked her out of his house before he set his sights on Kylie Jenner.

Ari Lennox Tweets About Her Desire To Find Love

by

Many singles spend their free time searching for the one, and it’s no different for celebrities. Ari Lennox expressed her desire for love in a tweet on March 8. She wrote, “have I made myself unattractive by wanting love so bad? By speaking about it? Complaining about it? I wish I didn’t crave it.” The tweet continues, “I wish it didn’t make me blind, weak, and so dangerously trusting. I wish I had no love inside of me. Wish I didn’t have emotions. Wish I didn’t care 🥺.”

Twitter users were quick to reassure her that a desire for love is a normal part of the human experience. BoyzIIMen member Shawn Stockman replied, “Not at all! Love is being able to be your most vulnerable, your most plaintive yet feeling protected by your counterpart. We all crave it, so don’t feel bad for being human.”

Ari’s Dating Woes

This isn’t the first time the “Pressure” singer has opened up about her struggles with dating. “I’m just bored, I’m bored!” Lennox previously explained. “Or I’ll find someone incredibly interesting and then, like, the sex is terrible. And I’m sorry, but that’s important, or like, you’re scared of my dog.”

She has also opened up about struggling to understand the intentions of the people she’s dating. Specifically, the R&B starlet noted that she has, on occasion, dated men who were not upfront about their music aspirations. “I will never be able to trust that you genuinely wanna be here for me,” she said in a Breakfast Club interview. “And not try to get Cole, or, you know, Dreamville or Interscope.” The age/sex/location revealed that she had dated several “struggle rappers” that left her traumatized. 

Dealing with partners who are secret rappers looking for a big break in the music industry isn’t the only challenge that Ari faces. She shared that she was once in a relationship with someone who pretended not to know who she was. While they were together, that person diminished everything about her. In 2022 the singer broke up with Married At First Sight star Keith Manley II, and she has not been in any public relationships since then. Do you relate to Ari Lennox’s issues with love? Let us know in the comments below.

Mo’Nique’s Open Marriage: Actress Explains Decision To Stop Being Non-Monogamous

by

Mo’Nique, the Oscar-winning comedian and actress, reveals that she and her husband have ceased their open marriage. In a recent interview, the Maryland native goes into detail about her thoughts on the arrangement now compared to years ago. The couple once agreed that sleeping with others would not impact their marriage. This was the case for some time, but as they both grew older, Mo’Nique began to change her mind. Still, her reasons do not appear to be out of jealousy, or regret.

It is not uncommon for long-term couples to explore the possibility of an open relationship. However, it’s also not uncommon for people to change their minds after opening their love lives. In the case of Mo’Nique and her husband Sidney Hicks, their age was one of the biggest factors. The actress states in her interview that “Life began to happen.” As the two grew older, their relationship grew stronger. As a result, they now have a bond that neither wants to risk by adding someone else to the mix.

Mo’Nique Grew Out Of Her Open Marriage

Open marriages are still a controversial subject. However, Mo’Nique is not a stranger to controversy in the entertainment world, as well as being honest about her life. The couple has been married since 2006, making their marriage over 15 years old. A lot can happen and change within that time. “He loved me at my worst,” she shared in her recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “I didn’t want to sacrifice that for just a lay. So I grew out of that.” Now, the couple is stronger than ever despite who else may have been involved.

While a lot of couples are growing apart from each other, it’s good to see a couple grow closer together. Not every open marriage ends poorly, and their relationship has been a testament to that. Sidney Hicks has stated in the past that their open arrangement would never phase his love for her. The two are incredibly close and have known each other for a long time. The idea to open their relationship was Mo’Nique’s at the time, but so was the decision to close it off. Check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Cher Drops Serious Money On New Romance

by

Timeless singer and actress Cher is making headlines once again, but this time it’s not for her music or film career. Reports are surfacing that the 76-year-old star is spending a substantial amount of her fortune on her new 37-year-old fiancé. Her new beau is AE, also known as Alexander Edwards. He is a music executive, producer, and father to one of Amber Rose’s two children. Cher and AE met during the Paris Fashion Week in September 2022. Since then the pair have been seen hanging out together, holding hands, and finally becoming an item.

When Cher and AE were first dating, their romance accumulated a lot of criticism. Age gaps are notorious for sparking criticism among fans, especially with an age gap so large. However, Cher remains undismayed and happy with her romance with the music exec. She is not unaware of their age gap, or how people view them. But she can’t help but seem to glow whenever she gets the chance to talk about Alexander. Cher’s inner circle, however, are expressing their concern.

Cher May Be Spending Recklessly

Among the first to speak up about their concerns have been Cher’s children. Both of Cher’s sons are older than her current fiancé, which naturally raised some eyebrows. Her kids worry that AE may be a gold digger in disguise. This sentiment is shared by many of Cher’s close circle, as they report that the singer was typically very careful with her money prior to meeting AE. Since they started dating, however, it seems that her spending habits have become a bit reckless.

Cher has a $360 million dollar fortune, which is more money than most people can hope to see. While it is natural to want to spend money on loved ones, her friends and family believe that she is taking it too far. However, Cher remains adamant that things are going well for the pair. There are no plans so far for the couple to split as the two plan their future and careers together. There are many interviews of Cher speaking about their relationship, but not much has been heard from AE. Only time will tell what the future has in store for the power couple.

by

British singer-songwriter FKA Twigs has been making headlines for months now following her highly publicized lawsuit against her ex partner, Hollywood actor Shia LaBeouf.

On March 7th, FKA Twigs uploaded a photo to her Instagram to make an announcement. “The whole of my career I’ve been hunted down for who I am dating.” As a well-known artist, she has likely never been able to keep her dating life truly private for long.

Now that she is happy and in love, her fans could not be happier to see her moving on with her life.

Madonna Confirms Relationship With 29-Year-Old Beau

by

Madonna, the iconic pop singer, has been making headlines recently after confirming her relationship with her new younger boyfriend, Josh Popper. The 64-year-old singer just recently shared pictures on her Instagram story of her kissing the 29-year-old boxer. The release of these photos seems to finally confirm their rumored relationship. While Madonna has dated younger men in the past, her new beau seems to be generating a bit of controversy. This is likely due to how significant the current age gap is.

The hype also stems from Josh Popper’s profession. Josh is a professional boxing coach, who owns a boxing gym in New York City. For a while, there were rumors that the relationship was purely for publicity. The implication was that Josh was trying to get his name in the headlines to attract attention to his business. However, Madonna’s Instagram story shut these rumors down as the two are shown kissing affectionately. Because Josh is only 29, many people are conflicted about the nature of their relationship.

Madonna and Josh Popper Show Off Their PDA

Madonna is a legend in the music world. Her music and other art have been the source of controversy for years. The artist bears the nickname, “the queen of pop” and has been a relevant figure in the industry since the 1980s. While Josh Popper is currently mainly known for his relationship with Madonna, he has his own impressive history. He once had goals to start a career in the NFL but was never drafted. Not dismayed, the athlete turned his attention to boxing. Now he has his own career and business in the boxing industry. The two are an unlikely pair for a number of reasons.

In recent years, people are growing more and more critical of age-gap relationships. These relationships are prevalent among the Hollywood crowd. Typically, people will see an older man paired with a much younger woman. While this is nothing new in the entertainment world, it is not often you see the reverse. Some people find it hypocritical to attack Leonardo DiCaprio for his dating choices when Madonna and other female artists are dating much younger men. Regardless of how one may feel about the ethics of their relationship, Madonna and her new boyfriend appear to be happy with each other.

Larsa Pippen Discusses Romance With Marcus Jordan

by

Larsa Pippen discussed her romantic relationship with Marcus Jordan during an interview with Tamron Hall, earlier this week. Appearing on her talk show, Pippen explained that she never “planned” to date Marcus and that it’s something that “just happened.” Their relationship comes after Larsa split with her ex, Scottie Pippen, who was teammates with Marcus’ father, Michael Jordan, on the Chicago Bulls.

“Age doesn’t determine your level of maturity,” Larsa, who is 48, explained on the show. Marcus is 16 years younger than her at 32 years old. Larsa also addressed how Scottie feels about the relationship. “That’s how Scottie feels. He has a right to the way he feels,” she said. “I personally don’t really care about what other people … I live my truth, I’m happy.”

Larsa also confirmed that she’s been hanging out with Michael Jordan, but downplayed the significance of that. “I’ve recently been hanging out with them, but I don’t really want to talk about them. I feel like it’s not about, you know, my parents or his parents — they’re all happy; our whole family’s fine,” she admitted. “Everyone’s fine. When you’re an adult, your parents just want to see you happy. We’ve spent holidays together. We’re in a great place.”

As for whether she and Scottie have discussed the relationship, she said that they’re focused on parenting. “The only conversations we have are based on our kids,” she said. “I don’t ask him who he’s dating, he doesn’t ask me who I’m dating. As long as my kids are happy … my kids love Marcus. We travel together, my kids really enjoy spending time with him. I feel like I’m in a great place and that’s the most important thing.”

Larsa and Scottie were married from 1997 through 2021. They share four children together: Scotty Jr., Preston, Justin, and Sophia. The couple first split in 2016 but reconciled soon afterward. Two years later they began the official separation process. Check out Larsa’s discussion with Tamron Hall below.

Serayah Confirms Her Break-Up With Jacob Latimore, Gets Cozy With Joey Bada$$

by

Amidst rumors circulating about power-couple Serayah and Jacob Latimore’s relationship, the 27-year-old actress finally has confirmed the end of an iconic era. The ex-couple first became official in 2016 after meeting at the BET Awards through mutual friends. After years of publically broadcasting their desirable relationship, the duo has finally called it quits. “Me and Jacob are no longer together.— Sadly we just grew apart and I love and respect his journey moving forward,” the Empire star said in a statement

Fans first started speculating about the rumor after Serayah was posted on Joey Bada$$’s Instagram yesterday (February 26). The two curled up next to each other in a seemingly lovey-dovey photograph taken at a restaurant. The post was met with confusion, with one user commenting, “this better be promo for something,” and another adding, “hearts breaking around the world.” Needless to say, many were not happy with Serayah’s shift of attention from Jacob to Joey.

Questions Arise After Joey Bada$$ Posts A Pic Of Serayah

While uncertainty was still circulating from the rapper’s post, Serayah cleared the air on Instagram live. Fans flooded her video with questions about her and the Maze Runner star dating, to which she responded, “no, I am not. I’m not anymore.” The live took a harsher tone when fans continued to bombard the California native with comments. “People think it is so easy to get on the platform and start talking s**t. So I’m just saying simmer down. That’s it,” she stated. Following the live, Serayah confirmed her new boo by posting her own picture with Joey on her Instagram. The post, which glamorously showcased the two stars holding each other on a bridge still sparked disillusionment from commentators, despite Serayah’s confirmation of her breakup.

Both Jacob and Serayah had previously been vocal about their relationship, even having a feature on BET’s Millennial Love Stories. During their episode, the couple optimistically depicted the origins of their relationship, and how they navigated publicizing their love with their growing careers. While dating, the pair was never shy of posting each other on their socials. Now, both Serayah and Jacob’s feeds are seemingly rid of one another.
