Marcus Jordan & Larsa Pippen Seal Secret Handshake With A Kiss

by

Marcus Jordan, 32, and Larsa Pippen, 48 are officially an item.

After months of speculation, Jordan and Pippen made their relationship IG official. Marcus Jordan shared a video of him and his “twin” on Instagram as they showed off their secret handshake and sealed it with a kiss. Jordan used Drake and 21 Savage’s “Treacherous Twins” to soundtrack the Reel. He captioned the post, “Twistin’ up my fingers for my twin.”

Marcus Jordan & Larsa Pippen were first spotted together in September. As paps caught a glimpse of them getting cozy, Larsa faced significant backlash due to their age gap and connection. Larsa married then divorced Scottie Pippen, who previously played alongside Michael Jordan, Marcus’ father, on the Chicago Bulls. At one point, some accused Larsa of grooming Marcus.

“I just met him 3 years ago I never knew him or his family,” Larsa Pippen wrote in response to the speculation about her relationship with Marcus Jordan. “I was 21 yrs old and in college when Scottie played that one year w MJ and we weren’t friends with them like everyone thinks.”

The latest post is indicative that Jordan and Pippen’s relationship has progressed rapidly in recent months. They packed on PDA in public settings like Miami Beach, the streets of NYC, and even Rolling Loud in recent months. However, a few months ago, they insisted they were “just friends” and have been for the past few years.

“We’ve been friends for the last couple of years,” she told The New York Post in December. “I’m in a place right now where I’m finally open to dating,” Pippen added. She then explained that the rumors exaggerate the reality of her love life. “So, yeah, I’m just dating right now and focusing on my businesses, my family, and having fun.”

Tristan Thompson Buys Mansion 2 Miles From Khloé Kardashian

by

It’s been an undeniably turbulent few weeks for Tristan Thompson. He began 2023 on a sombre note with the unexpected death of his mother. Following Andrea’s sudden passing, the NBA star promptly flew back to his homeland of Toronto. His ex-girlfriend, Khloé Kardashian was standing strong by his side.

The father of four held a star-studded celebration of life for his family’s matriarch. Friends like Drake, Kim Kardashian, and Kylie Jenner all flew to the 6ix to pay their respects and mourn.

For the most part, Thompson has kept quiet in wake of his loss. His second baby mama, however, expressed her grief in a thoughtful Instagram tribute earlier this month. “I have so many emotions and still I feel numb,” she wrote earlier this month.

“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. So difficult that I’m choosing not to say goodbye for good because that is something I cannot fathom.”

As fate would have it, in the weeks before his mother’s passing, Thompson purchased a new home in mid-December. It’s located just two miles from Kardashian and her mom, Kris Jenner’s luxurious mansions.

Seeing as they’ve solidly supported him through this dramatic life change, living in close proximity to people who care about him will surely be a healthy step for the 31-year-old as he transitions into his new normal.

According to The Sun, a trust associated with Thompson signed a deed for the 10,584-square-foot property on the 16th of last month. Inside, the Canadian has amenities like a home theatre, private gym, refrigerated wine cellar, and a five-car garage.

Additionally, the six-bedroom home was built in 2010. It includes a private pool and spa, a garden, a half-basketball court, and a covered patio. It remains unclear if the baller moved into his new residence before receiving the bad news about Andrea.

Besides her turbulent relationship with Thompson, the mother of two also went through her share of trauma during her marriage to Lamar Odom. In a recent interview, the troubled athlete recalled a time that Kardashian caught him cheating at a hotel, subsequently “beating [the] bitch ass” out of rage.

Amber Rose Says People Are Obsessed With Her & Kanye West’s Past Relationship

by

As one of the most well-known rappers in the world, Kanye West has been in no shortage of high-profile relationships throughout his career. Of course, his marriage to Kim Kardashian is one of the most talked about. However, fans also love to reminisce on the time he spent romancing Amber Rose.

The pair were together from 2008 to 2010. They made a serious mark on pop culture with their bold style choices and wild antics. Things obviously didn’t work out between them. At this point, though, Rose sounds as though she’s moved on from the past.

She made this clear during her recent appearance on the Sofia with an F podcast. During the interview, the host asked the model which of her exes she loves more – West, or Wiz Khalifa?

“Out of Kanye and Wiz? Wiz, girl!” Rose replied with a laugh. “That’s not even a question. I think people like to ask about my relationship with Kanye, but it was 13 years ago guys,” she reminded listeners. However, the mother of two did still give the Yeezy creative credit for the role he played in helping her rise to fame.

“I feel like people are obsessed with [Ye and me] because it was a great time in pop culture,” she additionally dished to Sofia Franklyn. “But in my personal life, it is not relevant.”

In the same interview, Rose reflected on the current state of her love life, revealing that she would be content being single forever. “It’s worse than ever,” she said of the present dating game. “[Men are] pretty disgusting out here. They’re f*cking gross.”

On the opposite end of the spectrum, West has already married again. He and Australian beauty Bianca Censori tied the knot less than a year after his separation from Kardashian was finalized.

O’Ryan Reveals Why His Relationship With Jhené Aiko Didn’t Work Out: Video

by

Looking at Big Sean and Jhené Aiko, it’s easy to assume they’ve been together forever. Not only are they musically and stylishly in sync, but they also make a great romantic pair too. Before they settled down with each other, the rapper spent time with Ariana Grande and the late Naya Rivera, among others. Aiko, for her part, was romantically involved with Omarion’s brother, O’Ryan.

The two got together at a very young age before either of their careers had truly taken off. It was in their early 20s when the R&B starlet realized she was pregnant. Now, she and her ex co-parent their 14-year-old daughter, Namiko Love Browner.

Things between O’Ryan and Aiko obviously didn’t work out, and for years, fans have wondered why. Recently, the OnlyFans creator sat down on the Jst Us Podcast to spill some tea, explaining why he and the California native went their separate ways after having a baby.

“We were very young,” he began. “We were in a relationship, like 18, 19. Very young love, and when she got pregnant, for me, I had to make a decision.” The 35-year-old went on to say that his own father wasn’t present in his life. He also lacked strong male role models to lead the way for him.

“I was afraid of messing up,” O’Ryan admitted. “I can’t be a good baby father and a good man. Haven’t seen it, for me, in my life, personally.” He essentially told Aiko his desire to be “the best father” for their little one, and a friend to her, but he didn’t want to act like he could be with her and fully commit to a relationship.

The guest told hosts that the “I Know” songstress stayed with him throughout her whole pregnancy, but he encouraged her to still have her own life and do as she pleased.

“For me, I wanted to focus on what kind of father I was going to be… One thing at a time,” he said of his apparent inability to multitask. “She was 20, I was 21 when Namiko was born. She was working really hard at her career, I was trying to figure things out for myself as well… I was really just supportive.”

Aiko may not have had the opportunity to build a conventional family unit with O’Ryan. However, she and Big Sean appear to be doing just fine following the birth of their first child together last year.

DDG Vlogs Blueface & Chrisean Rock’s Wedding

by

Blueface and Chrisean Rock are one of pop culture’s most talked-about relationships, and DDG’s vlog showed them celebrating it. Moreover, the two got married in Los Angeles on Friday (January 27) and filmed a music video of the ceremony. While DDG is as focused as ever on his music, his YouTube chops are still sharp, too.

Furthermore, the Michigan native shared various clips of the occasion from a lot of different perspectives. The Blueface portion of the vlog starts around the 8:30 mark with a quick “hello” between him and DDG. Later, Chrisean Rock says hi and daps the vlogger up. As he keeps greeting the ceremony’s attendees, you can see the wardrobe and staging going into the music video production.

After some more behind-the-scenes conversations and snippets, the YouTube star gets dressed for the big occasion. Then, the crowd of friends mixes over with the production crew as they coincide shots with the ceremony. For a take of the big kiss between Rock and Blueface, the whole crowd cheered as their song “Dear Rock” played.

However, Blueface said that he still wouldn’t marry Chrisean Rock “for real.” When DDG asked him whether he would, he said “Hell nah.” Furthermore, he said that he doesn’t believe in marriage because it’s like a contract. Still, he means “marriage” in the legal sense, not in terms of being Chrisean’s rock.

Also, there’s a point where DDG talks to the “Thotiana” rapper about how he and Chrisean are the most popular couple right now. Moreover, they start talking about how every viral discussion is a chance to make some money moves. In fact, DDG said that if the couple made a joint YouTube channel, they could make $200K a month. “I’d do a porno for 200 a month,” Blueface joked.

Meanwhile, the couple previously talked about marriage mere days before they tied the knot for a video. From that conversation, their thoughts were almost like a prequel to this wedding music video.

““Do you see yourself getting married at some point,” Jason Lee asked Blueface, “and do you see yourself getting married with Chrisean?” Moreover, the rapper declined, which Chrisean disagreed with.

“Can you be quiet and just go along?” she expressed. “If I give him 3 billion dollars, he gon’ marry me.” Given what he said about the $200K, it makes that past remark even funnier.

Still, what did you think of DDG’s vlog of Blueface and Chrisean Rock’s wedding? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments and check the full vlog out down below. Also, as always, come back to HNHH for the latest pop culture gossip and crazy hip-hop weddings.

Keke Palmer & Darius Jackson’s Baby Shower Was A Lit Fairytale Affair: Photos

by

Celebrity babies are coming in numbers lately, with droves of our favourite artists and actors expanding their families regularly. One of the most recent pregnancy announcements to come from Hollywood was during Keke Palmer’s hosting stint on Saturday Night Live. Last month, she confirmed to the world that she and her boyfriend, Darius Jackson, are expecting their first child together.

Spilling the tea on late-night television seems to be a favourite activity for the Disney Channel alum. After unveiling her bump to the SNL audience, Palmer joined Jimmy Fallon on his talk show last week. During their chat, the 29-year-old casually let it slip that she’s expecting a boy.

Over the weekend, fans’ excitement has only grown stronger as the expecting mother shared adorable photos from her fairytale-themed baby shower on social media. “‘A long time ago, in a land not so far… The King and Queen got together to play,’” she wrote in the caption of her photo dump late on Saturday (January 28) night.

“‘The play turned to love as many sunsets passed by. Now there’s a prince, who’s soon to arrive!’” her sweet poem ends. In the accompanying pictures, Palmer looks as glamorous as ever in a ribbed brown dress as she hugs her bump.

The first three images are solo snapshots of mama in her third trimester. In the last few photos, Jackson joins his partner in a coordinated brown outfit.

In the comment section, countless celebrity friends are sending kind wishes to the Hustlers star in this exciting time. “The absolute prettiest,” SZA wrote. Casse, Chloe Bailey, Stefflon Don, and La La Anthony also had compliments to give.

As blog posts surfacing online point out, the event wasn’t anything short of lit. Palmer’s due date is quickly approaching. Still, she didn’t hesitate to drop it low and keep the crowd laughing with her usual comedic antics.

Before they celebrated their baby boy at his shower this weekend, Palmer made sure to show some love to Jackson on his birthday earlier this month. For the most part, they’ve kept their romance low-key, but as her due date approaches, the actress has been sharing more of their love with the world.

by

Big Sean & Jhené Aiko just shared some cute TikTok videos with their son, Noah. While he was born in November of 2022, we haven’t seen much from the family since then. Moreover, the two artists spent a lot of time recently focused on their child, and are still giving him a lot of love.

Furthermore, Sean posted one of the TikToks circling social media to his account. In the clip, they sing their song “I Know” to each other while Jhené carries Noah in her arms. Moreover, she patted the little one on the back as the Detroit rapper stared longingly at her. As far as this writer knows, this isn’t a part of a larger trend, just a celebrity couple admiring each other. Also, they’re calling back to when their chemistry first developed as the duo TWENTY88 on Sean’s album Dark Sky Paradise.

@bigsean

I know you been… 🖤 #fyp

♬ betterthantheraphy I Know – lyrics 🎶😮‍💨

Meanwhile, Aiko posted a TikTok to her account of the two doing a couples challenge together. Basically, the TikTok sound asks them a question such as “Who loves harder?”, “Who eats the most?”, and “Who said ‘I love you’ first?” Then, they had to tap (or playfully hit) whoever the prompt corresponded to with a pillow. If you’ve ever been bored with your partner on a late Wednesday night, you know the vibes.

@jheneaiko

he definitely said ily first 😇 #fyp

♬ original sound – Your Karma

However, Big Sean also caused marriage rumors to swirl online after he teased new music while pointing at a ring on his fourth finger. “They rather see me buried alive and barely alive,” he rapped. “How many friends I got to have my casket carried outside / Probably not as many would stand and watch me married outside.” Moreover, this is big for Sean, who previously stated he’d be taking a break from music to focus on parenting.

“Well, I’m definitely taking some time for it to just be us,” he expressed. “You can’t really put a time limit on it.”

Still, what do you think of Big Sean and Jhené Aiko’s TikTok videos with their son Noah? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest pop culture gossip and wholesome relationship moments.

Michael B. Jordan Jokes About Lori Harvey Split In “SNL” Monologue

by

Michael B. Jordan’s SNL monologue included some jokes about his public breakup with Lori Harvey. While it wasn’t anything scandalous, the Creed actor and director certainly added fuel to the rumor fire of relationships. Moreover, his first stint hosting the sketch show resulted in a lot of laughs from the crowd.

“I just directed my very first movie, Creed 3,” the 35-year-old said. “But right after that, I went through my very first public break-up. Now, most people after a break-up would be like ‘I’ma get in better shape.’ But I was already in Creed shape. So I had to be like, ‘Alright, I’ma learn a new language.’” Then, he says he’s on Raya in Spanish.

Later on in his monologue, various SNL cast members approach the actor to shoot their shot at a date with him. Overall, it was a harmless but cheeky way of making light of all the headlines and it was creative to see more people involved in a “monologue.”

However, Jordan opened up to Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show about how excited he was to grace the comedy stage.

“It’s going great. I literally just did rehearsal just now,” he remarked. “It’s a machine and they are so fantastic and great at what they do, and it’s been a great process.”

Moreover, this news comes after rumors swirled that the Black Panther star was dating again. However, gossip surrounding a potential flame, British model Amber Jepson, died out after insider sources claimed they’ve never met. On the other hand, his ex Lori Harvey recently went public with actor Damson Idris. Also, dating rumors followed her everywhere she went before confirming her new relationship.

“It’s so funny, because I’m so quiet, there’s been so many stories that have been made up about me,” she told E! News. “I’ve seen stories about me being fully in love with somebody and you have like, this whole relationship. And I’ll see the guy and I’m like, I’ve actually never met him before.

“Like, full-blown stories I’ve heard, I’ve dated a father and son before. Absolutely not true,” Harvey went on. “I’ve even heard that I’m a lesbian at one point. So, you know, there’s been a lot of different things. A lot of stories, lot of misconceptions. I think they’re hilarious. I love the stories.”

Still, what did you think of Michael B. Jordan’s SNL monologue addressing his split from Lori Harvey? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below and check out the clip above. Also, as always, come back to HNHH for more pop culture moments and news about celebrity couples (and exes).

Nia Long Speaks On Dating After Split From Ime Udoka

by

Nia Long shared her thoughts on dating weeks after she broke up with NBA coach Ime Udoka. While dating rumors continued to hit her left and right since, the actress set the record straight. Overall, from what she said on The Drew Barrymore Show, she’s not in any rush.

(Photo by Johnny Nunez/Getty Images for Fotografiska New York)

Moreover, this news comes after Udoka’s public cheating scandal, which exploded in September of 2022. The coach had a consensual but inappropriate relationship with a staffer for the Boston Celtics, and Long split with him months later. However, when she spoke to Barrymore, she shared that she’s got her “eye on one person.

“I’m not saying,” she joked. “I’m never telling.” Afterwards, the host shared that she enjoys the dating process. Then Nia admitted that she’s a bit anxious about the prospect. “You do? I’m so nervous,” she stated. “Are you on the dating apps? We gotta talk about this.”

Also, the 52-year-old said confirmed that she’s “so single” at the moment. Still, rumors recently spread of a potential romance between her and R&B singer Omarion. Moreover, The Shade Room shared a video of them on a red carpet where they took pictures together and Long grabbed his hand. “The smile on Omarion’s face says it all!” TSR captioned the post.

However, Nia Long even went to the lengths of commenting on that post to get her say in all the gossip. “Everybody simmer down…” she wrote. “I’m single AF.” With all these people breathing down her neck, she might relate to what she said about Will Smith carrying a burden.

“I will always love him,” she said to Yahoo. “He’s had an incredible career, and he’s carried a burden for many years to try — to represent what perfection looks like. Or what achievement looks like… I don’t think that — at least when we were growing up — there was room to be human. I think he’s now able to be human.

“We all have our moments in life where we need to reconcile things that we suppress,” she continued. “And I think — it’s hard growing up in this business and being front and center every day, all day. I’ve had some pretty devastating moments in my life over the last couple of months, and I’ve had to just say ‘It’s alright. You’ll pick yourself back up’ — oh, my God I’m about to cry. You pick yourself back up, and you keep it moving.”
