Exs

Britney Spears and Paul Soliz called it quits on their relationship almost a month ago, after she came to the realization he was riding her coattails ... and now she's got a new roomie.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … Britney and Paul split around 3 weeks ago, and they were dunzo once the singer realized her former maintenance worker-turned-boyfriend was only using her for the luxurious lifestyle.

The reasoning here certainly jibes with what Britney alluded to in her recent Instagram post putting Paul on blast and declaring herself "single as f***."

5:50 PM PT -- A source close to Daphne Joy is providing some clarity, telling TMZ ... she deleted the rape allegation post in an attempt to smooth things over with 50 Cent, for the sake of their son. It appears 50 has also taken down his posts about Daphne.

We've learned Daphne's hired attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan, and reached out to him for comment ... but no word back.

Interesting development between Daphne Joy and 50 Cent ... she's scrubbed her social media post accusing him of rape amid the rapper's ongoing lawsuit over that very post.

Here's the deal ... Daphne, the mother to 50 Cent's son Sire, publicly accused the rapper of raping and physically abusing her in a March 28 Instagram post. 50 immediately denied the claim, and then in May he sued her for defamation.

Now, Daphne's post has been deleted from her official IG account. It's unclear exactly when she took it down, or why ... but it's gone.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard still has compassion for her estranged hubby Ryan Anderson -- she let him know she was pregnant with Ken Urker's baby before informing the public ... TMZ has learned.

Family sources tell TMZ ... Gypsy told Ryan about her pregnancy a couple of weeks ago -- news we're told came as a huge blow for him, as he was holding out hope of reconciling their marriage. As one source put it, "He didn't take the news well at all."

Sadly for Ryan, looks like GRB getting back with him after their marriage crumbled in March is slimmer than slim ... 'cause we're told she's got no regrets over being back with her ex-fiancé Ken because she believes he's her person.

Cassie is upset with Diddy going white water rafting, Gypsy Rose is starting a family and J.J. Watt is looking jacked in retirement ... all this on today's TMZ TV Hot Takes.

First up on "TMZ Live" Harvey and Charles explain why Diddy's recent outings are causing an outrage with his ex.

Zach Wilson isn't the only one getting engaged this month ... his ex, Abbey Gile, also has wedding bells in her future -- after getting proposed to by Wilson's college roommate.

Gile -- who dated the Denver Broncos quarterback from high school until 2022 -- was seen rockin' a massive diamond ring on her finger after Dax Milne, a Washington Commander receiver, proposed on the beach.

"She said YES❤️💍," the 25-year-old said in an Instagram post on Monday.

Genie Bouchard is single for the summer ... TMZ Sports has learned the tennis star and her longtime boyfriend, Jack Brinkley-Cook, have broken up.

Our sources say the two officially headed to Splitsville in April ... calling off a relationship that had lasted somewhere around two years.

The couple was first spotted together getting cozy on a beach in 2022 -- just after her breakup with NFL quarterback Mason Rudolph -- and in September 2023, they went Instagram official.

Michael Lohan ain't holding back about his estranged wife, Kate Major -- this after she was arrested in Texas following their heated confrontation in the middle of the road.

A rep for the Kimble County Sheriff's Office tells TMZ ... Kate was arrested and booked Friday at 11 am for violation of a protection order.

Michael explained to us why he was forced to get cops involved ... referencing the video of the showdown with Kate earlier this week, claiming she wasn't supposed to be in his house or driving the car -- both of which she did.

Kelly Stafford just seemingly took a huge swipe at some of her biggest critics ... appearing to blast them as "insecure men" -- while praising her NFL star husband, Matthew Stafford, in the process.

Kelly's been in the crosshairs of many haters this week ... after she confessed on the "Off the Vine" podcast that she dated one of Stafford's backups while at the Univ. of Georgia in order to make him jealous.

People flocked to her social media pages with mean remarks -- and after apologizing to former Bulldogs signal-caller Joe Cox for unintentionally getting him wrapped up in the drama ... she took to IG Thursday afternoon to apparently fire away at the trolls.

Jordon Hudson's 64-year-old former lover is racing to her defense ... blasting haters who have accused her of being a gold digger for her romance with Bill Belichick -- while praising her as "wise beyond her years."

Joshua L. Zuckerman -- a businessman -- tells TMZ Sports ... he met Hudson several years ago, and after bonding over psychology, philosophy and nature, they became romantic.

The two were off and on for a while -- but ceased their dating relationship just prior to Hudson coupling up with Belichick.

Diddy scrubbed his Instagram this week -- including his on-camera apology over the Cassie video -- and while some think it's a diss ... we're told there's no subliminal messaging here.

At some point late Thursday, Diddy got rid of every single IG post on his page -- wiping it completely clean without any explanation ... and that includes the video he posted where he addressed the brutal video of him beating his then-girlfriend.

The internet was rife with theories on what might've been behind the move -- but sources with direct knowledge have assured us there's nothing behind the move other than Puff wanting to reset his posts ... something we're told he's done in the past.

Courtney Stodden is living the diamond life once again ... she's engaged to be married, and we've learned her new fiance popped the question just days after she sent her ex-fiancé's engagement ring down the toilet!

Sources close to the couple tell TMZ ... Courtney got engaged to Jared Safier last Tuesday at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel -- the one made famous by "Pretty Woman" -- and talk about not wasting any time. The new engagement went down one week after she shockingly flushed a 5-carat rock.

We're told Jared, an Emmy-winning producer, presented her new diamond while they were at the hotel's THE Blvd Restaurant & Bar -- but he saved the traditional down-on-one-knee moment for when they got back to their Brentwood home.

Different kind of wake-and-bake for Hunter Biden ... at least that's what his ex-girlfriend claimed on the stand, alleging he'd light up a crack pipe upon waking up in his drug days.

Hunter's ex, Zoe Kestan, testified in court out in Delaware Wednesday in the President's son's federal gun trial ... with her testimony touching on a lot of Hunter's alleged drug habits while they were together years ago.

Zoe testified Hunter's crack use was near constant in private and that he "would want to smoke as soon as he woke up." On the flip side, she also says he was universally liked while out in public ... telling jurors he was "charming."

NY Giants star Darren Waller -- who's also a musician -- is opening up on his love life, in song form, dropping a new track about failed past relationships just months after his ex, WNBA star Kelsey Plum filed for divorce.

The latest single is titled "Who Knew (Her Perspective)" ... and Waller said he wrote it from the viewpoint of a woman trying to love him.

"I’ve struggled with intimacy in romantic relationships my whole life, and I recognize the toll it has taken on the lovers I’ve been close to," the 31-year-old said on Thursday.

Johnny Wactor's ex-fiancée passionately spoke out against his murder -- and while her heart's in the right place, the actor's family thinks her mouth is elsewhere ... and not needed.

We talked to Johnny's mother, Scarlett, who tells TMZ that Johnny and Tessa Farrell dated years ago and haven't stayed in touch ... not having spoken in at least 2-3 years. She says his family also hasn't maintained contact with her, which is why she's peeved about her comments.

Tessa's emotional plea for stricter laws in L.A. rings hollow for Scarlett, who tells us she believes Tessa is just clout-chasing -- even though Tessa's tearful video certainly seemed genuine. In fact, we spoke to her to get more detail about what she'd like to see change in L.A's criminal justice system.

Kel Mitchell's making explosive claims about his ex-wife, claiming she got pregnant by multiple men during their marriage ... something she says is an outright lie and delusion.

The actor sat down with Shannon Sharpe on his "Club Shay Shay" podcast for an interview released Wednesday when he talked about his ex, Tyisha Hampton, to whom he was married from 1999 to 2005.

The way Kel tells it, Hampton had an abortion before they got married -- and, after they married, he claims she told him the aborted fetus was not his, but a different man's.
