Ray J and his estranged wife, Princess Love Norwood, are back in the news again for their seemingly turbulent marriage. The popular reality couple wed in 2016 and have since shared their relationship with the world on Love & Hip Hop. Ray J and Princess Love’s red flags were on full display throughout the series, leading to two separate divorce announcements in recent years. Both were dismissed, however they saw trouble in paradise yet again and went on to file a third time. Now, in a dizzying turn of events, Ray J is now asking to throw this case out as well.
According to legal docs obtained by TMZ, the Verzuz performer filed against the divorce in Los Angeles last Thursday (Feb. 23). The two first filed for divorce in May 2020 and again in September 2020 amidst the Covid 19 pandemic. Though they called it off again in May 2021, it was Ray J who went on to file a third time later that year. The news follows his 42nd birthday on January 17th, which he spent with Princess Love and their two children.

In a two-minute clip posted to his Instagram, Ray is seen parading around his Las Vegas suite on his special day. In the caption he reflects on his marriage, telling fans “ [I] HAD TO GET MY WIFE BACK AND START FRESH.” “I LOVE MY FAMILY!!,” he continued on. “Ill FIGHT OVER AND OVER FOR LIFE FOR MY FAMILY AND KIDS!!” Ill PUT IT ALL ON THE LINE FOR MY CHILDREN TO BE HAPPY AND SAFE AND CLOSE TO ME 24/7!!!”
While their love life appears to be bettering these days, it wasn’t too long ago Ray J’s infidelity came into question. They butted heads about it last year, in fact, during a taping for Love & Hip Hop: Miami. In the episode, which aired in August, Princess admits to dating other men in the midst of their divorce. This comes after Love says she found condoms in their home. “You tried to f**k b***hes the day we got married,” she then rattles off. “And it’s always been strippers and prostitutes.” The clip went viral, with Ray J later telling her that having sex with the aforementioned women doesn’t count.
Ever since becoming a key member of Saturday Night Live, Pete Davidson has created a reputation for himself in the industry. He joined the cast in 2014 as one of the youngest members in history at only 20 years old. This was a prime time for not only kickstarting his career, but also his dating life. Davidson quickly found himself with an abundance of opportunities for success as a comedian, giving him the ultimate spotlight.
Pete Davidson has been known for his many girlfriends since his rise to fame. It is easy to speculate that this is due to his unique sense of humor, an attribute that many women look for in a partner’s personality. People tend to claim his appeal is a mystery, with his looks being somewhat of a controversy. Nonetheless, he has been associated with a long list of beautiful women.

Long Island comedian Carly Aquilino was reportedly the first woman to be in a relationship with Davidson after his career debut on SNL. She is mainly known for her role in the comedy series Girl Code on MTV. Things never became serious and they ultimately dated for a short period of time. This was his first high-profile relationship and it certainly was not his last.

This name may sounds familiar, and that’s because Cazzie David is the daughter of very famous comedian Larry David. Over the years, David has only starred in a handful of productions including Hannah Montana and the third season of The Umbrella Academy. Their relationship was Pete Davidson’s longest and most serious one. Shockingly, it came out that he broke up with her through text just days prior to her discovering his new relationship (to be discussed next).

Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande’s relationship is one of his most well-known by far. In May of 2018, their relationship was announced, and the following June they confirmed an engagement. This relationship was surprisingly short and moved ridiculously fast. By October of that year, the engagement had been called off and their exciting fling was over.
Grande has made sure to keep these memories in stone through her music. Her 2018 album Sweetener contains an entire song for him titled “Pete Davidson”. Despite this, he is most famously known for being mentioned in her hit song “Thank U, Next”. This song allowed for fans to witness closure of their relationship as they both moved on to other people.
2019: Kate Beckinsale
Davidson had quite the controversial romance following his dramatic breakup just months before. He and British actress Kate Beckinsale made their red carpet debut at the 2019 Golden Globes. They quickly received harsh criticism for their twenty year age gap, though they appeared unbothered. Their relationship only lasted for a matter of months before his next dating adventure.

Pete Davidson and Margaret Qualley had merely a fling. They were spotted in Venice, Italy in promotion of her film, “Seberg”, allowing the relationship to make its way onto social media. The lovebirds had what seemed to be a good bond, but they ultimately split due to their busy schedules. Qualley and Davidson officially ended their relationship a few short months later that October.

He soon found himself in another short relationship with model Kaia Gerber from the end of 2019 to January 2020. It had been reported that Gerber found his mental health issues to be too overwhelming. She also decided to end it due to him being too old for her. Their relationship was a brief one, but still posted all over social media at the time.

Bridgerton actress Phoebe Dynevor dated Pete Davidson for about five months before ending their relationship. They tried to maintain a long-distance relationship but it inevitably failed, between the distance and their crazy schedules as two people in the industry. They kept things casual and tried to focus on their work, which turned into a lack of time for one another. The distance between New York and the U.K. was just too far.

In October 2021, Kim Kardashian hosted an episode of Saturday Night Live while Pete Davidson was still a part of the cast. During this episode they shared an on-screen kiss while playing Jasmine and Aladdin in a Disney sketch, sparking the beginning of their nine-month relationship. This relationship was heavily broadcasted all over the internet, and since she had just split from controversial rapper Kanye West, drama began to uproar rapidly. After being together for nearly nine-months, they officially split and Davidson supposedly got his tattoos for her removed.

During one of his most recent flings, Pete Davidson shared some time with Gone Girl actress Emily Ratajkowski. She had expressed interest for him through social media which quickly led to them starting a relationship, but quickly parted ways. They only dated for the last two months of 2022. She later mentioned on a podcast that he was one of the worst men to date.
2023: Is Pete Davidson dating Ice Spice?

There have been Twitter speculations as of late that Ice Spice and Pete Davidson may be dating. The rumors surrounding this conspiracy have been overtaking the media, and it is still unknown whether or not it may be true. It may have been posted as a joke, but it seems as though fans are digging to find real evidence of their relationship. Rising star Ice Spice might just be Pete Davidson’s next fling.
After so many incidents of rants, phone-throwing, and verbal attacks, it seems like the paparazzi and Ye can finally get along. Moreover, paparazzi spotted Kanye West and his wife Bianca Censori smiling as they walked to dinner. In comparison to their usual stoic and defensive demeanor, the two seemed to be in a good mood. Heads held high, looking with no fear in photographers’ direction, and, of course, in matching black outfits. While people can only guess as to what they smiled about, renegotiation rumors with Adidas might have the rapper in high spirits.
Meanwhile, this comes after multiple headlines moments from the couple where Kanye antagonized photographers following them around. “I still got rights as a man,” he told a photographer of his privacy a couple of weeks ago. “I still got rights as a man. You ain’t taking no more photos. And tell everybody else they ain’t taking no more photos of my wife. You want me to follow you and your wife? Let me take pictures of your wife? I’mma start taking pictures of your wife.”
Still, it’s not like that’s been context for every single recorded Ye outing over the past couple of months. Despite his dwindling and all-time low public image, every move is still enough to entice fans’ curiosity, albeit perhaps in a weird “just-can’t-look-away” manner. For example, he recently went to see the film Infinity Pool with fellow disgraced music executive Russell Simmons and producer 88-Keys. In addition, although their union isn’t legal yet, Censori’s already met some of the former fashion mogul’s children. The couple went to dinner with North just a few weeks after they tied the knot, although it’s unclear whether she’s met his other kids.
However, most people’s eyes are now on the rumors of a deal between Kanye West and Adidas, who previously dropped him following bigoted antisemitic remarks and rhetoric. While nothing’s official yet, they’re rumored to have struck a deal to sell all remaining Yeezy inventory. Not only would it help out the company’s current financial dire straits, but Ye could cash out before dipping back out of the public eye. Either way it goes, come back to HNHH for the latest news, updates, and surprises from Kanye West.
The Wine Down with Mary J. Blige is already creating a buzz online as clips of her conversation with Yung Miami and Taraji P. Henson gain attention. The Queen of Hip Hop-Soul recently announced her new talk show, and she’s kicking things off with a bang. Throughout her career, Blige has used music to express the ups and downs of life’s journey. In this episode, Blige asked Henson if she had a “boo” around these days. The acclaimed actress said she was flying solo, and it was something Yung Miami couldn’t believe.
“I honestly don’t,” said Henson of being cuffed up. Miami asked her if she likes someone or had a guy she simply has lunch with. Henson joked, “Where is he?” before suggesting that the love of her life may not be in America. “I keep saying that because all the men have been ran through.” It’s a sentiment that the City Girls rapper agreed with as she replied, “Mmhmm, that’s true.” Even Blige chimed in with, “Straight up and down. There’s a shortage.” Then, Yung Miami asked the singer if she was testing out the dating pool.
“Hell nah!” said Blige. She added she was enjoying time dating herself. “I take myself to dinner… Anyway. That’s too much information.” Henson called it “powerful” to be able to be with one’s self. Meanwhile, Miami may be the only one on the couch who has been booed up for some time. She and Sean “Diddy” Combs have been boasting about their unconventional relationship, and occasionally, they’ll drop off a photo or two from their jet-setting adventures.
At first, people trolled Yung Miami for what looked to be her one-sided public support of Diddy. The public believed she was putting in more effort than her beau, but both hitmakers made it clear that the feelings were mutual. When the internet fires up about their relationship, it isn’t uncommon for Puff to defend the Florida star.
In December 2022, Miami laid rumors to rest about her romance. “There are people who think that I’m like a side chick, and he can just do whatever he want,” she said with a smile. “And I’m just over here head over heels. No, it goes both ways. Ain’t nothing one-sided over here.” Check out more from Yung Miami, Taraji P. Henson, and Mary J. Blige above.
It seems Chris Brown can’t do anything on social media without it becoming a trending topic. The same can be said for the latest headline after Breezy liked a couple of posts on Instagram recently. One that particularly stood out was his like on ex Karrueche Tran’s page. The former lovers have sparked conversation lately after their names were mentioned amidst the release of Brown and Chloe Bailey’s single, “How Does It Feel.” Fans of Beyoncé’s protege were disappointed she’d chosen to do a song with the R&B superstar. This led to a look back at his troubled relationships, with mentions of the restraining order Tran had against him from 2017.
The post in question shows Karrueche announcing her new role on season two of Peacock’s popular Bel-Air dramedy. Chris Brown hearted the post, which was soon noticed by the actress’ followers. “Looks like Chris Brown still isn’t over you,” writes one commenter. “None of his baby mamas compare to his OG girl that he fell in love with.” Another shared the sentiment, referencing Brown’s “Back to Sleep” remix where he calls Karrueche out by name. Others were in support of the like and bothered by its virality altogether. “He can’t just like a pic? Please don’t reach with this one,” a fan urges. Someone also noted she unblocked him, assuming she “clearly wanted his attention.” Because of all the fanfare, the 33-year-old has since deleted his like.
Though both Chris and Karrueche have since moved on, it hasn’t kept people from mentioning their failed union. Brown called out former 3LW member Kiely Williams a couple weeks back after she brought up his abuse allegations against the model and Rihanna. “Let him come out with his own record—so genius, so captivating that it makes us all forget HE BEATS WOMEN,” Williams tweeted in response to his “How Does It Feel” announcement. “He can’t so he won’t.” Breezy then went on to post a meme poking fun at the singer’s lisp and more. “Obviously you are at a point in your life where either you are very broke or broken,” he fired back. “THE FACT you think you have to speak negatively about me makes u look so lame.”
Karrueche Tran has yet to respond to the like or any additional commentary made about their past. She’s seemingly unbothered by it all, as she’s been caught hanging back out with Quavo in the past year. The two—who dated briefly in 2017–were seen vacationing together in St. Martin at the top of 2022. Though she’s denied they’ve reignited old flames, Tran went to Jamaica with the former Migos member two months later.
She’s a pregnant mom on the go these days, but nothing is slowing down Rihanna. The singer has been in a flurry as this season is back-to-back performances. After preparing for her epic Super Bowl halftime show, Rihanna is now gearing up to take to the Academy Awards stage. She’s reportedly set to perform “Lift Me Up” from the latest Black Panther soundtrack, but ahead of the next show, behind-the-scenes footage of Ri, A$AP Rocky, and their baby boy was shared.
Recently, the superstar singer posed on the cover of British Vogue with her little one. At the time, Rihanna says she was unaware she was pregnant with her second child. That news became the big reveal at the halftime show, and now, fans are getting a closer look at how Ri and Rocky are as famous parents on the go. British Vogue shared a brief video showing the mom and dad during Ri’s photoshoot for the magazine.
Rihanna Explains “Legendary” Motherhood

Rihanna detailed what it’s been like as a first-time mom. “Oh, my God, it’s legendary,” she told the outlet. “It’s everything. You really don’t remember life before, that’s the craziest thing ever. You literally try to remember it – and there are photos of my life before – but the feeling, the desires, the things that you enjoy, everything, you just don’t identify with it because you don’t even allow yourself mentally to get that far, because it doesn’t matter.”
Fans have speculated about Rihanna as a mother and what her home life must be like. There have been guesses about a house full of nannies or help at every corner. While we’re sure Ri has all the aid she needs, she explained to British Vogue what it was like following birth. She called the process beautiful but admitted that the concept messed with her head. “Essentially, from one person, I became two,” said the singer.
Rihanna added, “You walk into the hospital as a couple and leave as a family of three. It’s nuts. And oh, my gosh, those first days are insane. You don’t sleep. At all. Not even if you wanted to. We came home, cold turkey, had no one. It was just us as parents and our baby. Man, you’re a zombie for the most part.” Check out the behind-the-scenes footage of A$AP Rocky, Rihanna, and their mini-me above.
It’s been a rough year for Shakira. Not only does she face tax evasion charges in Spain but she also went through a pretty nasty break-up. Last year, she and Gerard Piqué called it quits after 11 years together. The singer began dating the football player in 2011 following his appearance in the “Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)” music video, and later, they welcomed a child together. While they were listed among the world’s most powerful couple, things eventually went left.
The couple later shared a statement after news emerged of their split. “We regret to confirm that we are separating. For the well-being of our children, who are our highest priority, we request respect for (our) privacy. Thank you for your understanding,” the statement read. Though the details surrounding their split remained unclear, she confirmed there was infidelity in the relationship. In fact, Shakira revealed that she knew he was cheating due to a used jam jar. Then, Shakira addressed the matter in her single, “BZRP Music Session #53” along with Bizarrap.
During a recent interview, Shakira didn’t hold back on her thoughts surrounding women who aren’t supportive of other women. Many felt as though she was taking aim at Piqué’s new girlfriend. She explained that she doesn’t need to depend on a man after feeling as though “a woman needed a man to be complete.” “There is a place in hell reserved for women who don’t support other women,” Shakira said during her interview with Enrique Acevedo of Canal Estrellas.
The breakup was clearly an eye-opening experience for Shakira. She felt as though she depended on her partners in the past on an emotional level, though she said that she discovered a new side of herself. “I’ve always been emotionally quite dependent on men I’ve fallen in love with love and I think I’ve been able to understand that story from another perspective, and today I am sufficient on my own,” she said. Shakira said that her main focus is to take care of and protect her two sons, 10-year-old Milan and 8-year-old Sasha, who she shared with her ex.
This week, Empire actress Serayah revealed a few juicy things about her relationship life. For starters, she confirmed that her relationship with fellow actor Jacob Latimore was over. First getting together in 2016, Serayah and Latimore’s relationship was a favorite among fans. “Me and Jacob are no longer together.— Sadly we just grew apart and I love and respect his journey moving forward,” she said.
However, it seems she quickly transitioned to a new boo shortly while simultaneously announcing her breakup. Both Joey Bada$$ and Serayah each posted photos with each other on Instagram recently. Each succinctly captioning their posts with a heart, fans concluded that the rapper and actress could now be an item. Then, after going public with their new fling, Joey announced a new music video on the way. Set to drop on March 1, Joey plans to deliver the third music video for his 2022 album 2000. But, what makes the impending release of the “Show Me” video even more enticing is that his co-star is his brand new girlfriend.
Joey posted the trailer for the “Show Me” music video on Feb. 28. Lasting less than 30 seconds, the clip shows Joey and Serayah fiddling with a camcorder while unpacking moving boxes. Asking him to show her how to use it, the clip ends at that point and fans will not be able to see the rest until March 1. The song samples “Show Me How,” a 2018 song from the Canadian band Men I Trust. One of the most enjoyable tracks on 2000, “Show Me” undoubtedly deserves the visual treatment.
With this video on the way, it likely solidifies the Joey Bada$$ and Serayah couple rumors even more. There’s no telling how long the two have been dating though. If they’ve been together since the video first began filming, it could be weeks by now. Considering this, the rollout of their romance on social media was timed perfectly. Revealing their relationship and then a video they collaborated on shortly after effectively manufactured buzz around the two stars. Now, we just have to wait and see how they perform in the new music video.
All Latto wanted was to keep her romance private, but the internet won’t let her have any peace. The “Big Energy” hitmaker has been carrying on a secret love affair for what seems like years. When it was first revealed that Latto met a new man, the internet lit up with guesses. There were a few suggestions in the first round, but soon, the public seemed to settle on 21 Savage. The spotlight has been on these two for some time.
However, confirmations have been non-existent. Instead, Latto and 21 both repeatedly denied being involved with one another. Fans were quick to point out Latto’s tattoo that looks to be 21’s legal first name, but that wasn’t enough for the Rap stars to come forward. Once again, Latto and 21 are in the hot seat, but the 777 star is the only one battling it out with nosy fans.
Hairstylist Confirms Romance

She’s used to being trolled, but the Barbz have been ruthless after her spat with Nicki Minaj. Every move Latto makes has been scrutinized by her critics, and once again, she denies the romance with Savage. However, a celebrity stylist surfaced to lay rumors to rest. According to reports, Rhonnie Lee has worked for Moneybagg Yo, but after spilling alleged information about Latto and 21, she’s been labeled as untrustworthy with private information.
On Instagram, someone called it confusing that Latto and 21 have continued to curb the public. “They’re together have been for years now!” Lee replied. “Not something I heard something I KNOW! This his woman he loves her & Vice verse!” A screenshot of the brief exchange became a focal point, thrusting Latto and 21 back into gossip conversations.
Regardless of his anonymity, Latto has often bragged about her relationship. For Valentine’s Day, her mystery beau went all out with a lavish, red rose-filled special day. In an interview, the Queen of Da Souf rapper also stated that her man pays all of her bills and makes sure she’s taken care of. As Latto keeps her boyfriend a secret, Rhonnie Lee becomes the talk of the town. Check it out above.
For over two decades now, Dr. Phil McGraw has been providing audiences with entertainment via hilarious (and sometimes shocking) stories from everyday people. On occasion, a celebrity will appear on the hit talk show to give advice or address an ongoing situation. Earlier this week, Omarion was on to do the latter. He spoke directly to a woman who’s been claiming there was a proposal to her from the R&B superstar.
“My friend Simone has been catfished for years by someone claiming to be Omarion,” a woman named Rachel sets the scene while chatting with the host. “He’s not Omarion. I know for a fact because there’s no celebrity that’s going to ask a civilian for money,” she went on to say. According to Dr. Phil’s guest, Simone has sent her online beau at least $4,500 since they first began talking. “If he’s a superstar, why would he need her money? Only a scammer would do that, not a celebrity.”
Omarion Appears on Dr. Phil
In order to help Simone move on, producers asked the California-born singer to come on and explain to her what was really happening. “It’s crazy how far these people will go to convince and manipulate my fans to think that they’re actually speaking with me,” Omarion said in a video message after an awkward piano introduction. “From sending fake driver’s licenses and passports, even FaceTiming them, claiming that there was a bad connection, and they never even seen me.”
The 38-year-old then apologized to Simone, making it clear that he hasn’t been speaking with her online and they’re certainly not in a relationship. “You haven’t sent me any money. I want everyone to be aware that if someone online is claiming to be me, and asking for money, you are not speaking with me. I will never do that, all of my official pages clearly have a blue check.” Omarion ended his message with a reminder to “be mindful,” and practice internet security while online.
Is Nia Long His New Girl?

He’s obviously not engaged to Simone, but recently, the “Post to Be” hitmaker sparked romance rumours with a fellow celebrity – Nia Long. The two shared a sweet exchange at Netflix’s You People premiere, though she quickly shut down the gossip with a reminder of her single status. Read more about that here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
