Last November, reality TV couple Ray J and Princess Love called it quits. Eyebrows were raised when the R&B crooner blocked his then-pregnant wife on Instagram.

Ray J, 38, apparently blocked his wife after she accused him of abandoning her and their 1-year-old daughter Melody in Las Vegas after attending the Soul Train Awards.

"Left me and Melody stranded in Vegas and blocked me from calling," she wrote, "now you wanna post family photos #ByeUgly."

But the couple appeared to reunite shortly before she gave birth to their second child, a baby boy they named Epik.

According to TMZ, Ray J and Princess Love remain married, and they are committed to raising their children, but they just can't live together under the same roof.

Sources close to the couple tell TMZ, Princess stays at her luxury Beverly Hills condo while Ray J sleeps at a bachelor pad just a few miles away.

According to the gossip tabloid, she keeps the kids but Ray comes by to visit daily, and he keeps their dogs at his house. "Ray J and Princess are getting along fine now ... doing family stuff together with no drama or arguing."

It's always better to go your separate ways if your negative energy causes a toxic environment for your children.

But Ray J must work even harder to be there every day for his kids -- if he doesn't want a Dwyane Wade/Zaya situation on his hands.

Tamar Braxton is back on the market after dating David Adefeso for 2 years. Friends say the single mother of one was not comfortable playing second fiddle to her African boyfriend's other women.

MTONews confirmed Braxton removed all of Adefeso's pictures from her social media accounts.

After removing the Nigerian's pictures, she wrote "If they don't want you, there is no talking... let it go and let God bring you the one who will be all that you need."

Braxton, 42, transformed herself from a Brazilian weave-wearing socialite to a member of team natural, having shorn her hair off to make a new start after divorcing industry executive Herbert Vincent, the father of her son.

Braxton wrote that her "flaws [are] not her weakness, but the strength and attraction to the one that is meant to be in [her] life."

Adefeso began appearing on the Braxton Family Values reality show on season 6. He planned to appear in the upcoming spin-off, titled Tamar.

Ne-Yo's wife, who goes by her married name of Crystal Smith, hinted at the split on social media. She removed all images of the singer from her Instagram profile, WENN.com reports.

Ne-Yo, who also shares two kids with his former fiancée, Monyetta Shaw, recently acknowledged the ups and downs of his marriage in a post to celebrate the New Year. In his post, Ne-Yo insisted he and Crystal were still "perfect for each other".

Alongside a snap of the smiling couple, he wrote:

"2019 had its bumps and bruises, yes sure. But it's not about the difficulty, it's about one's ability to realize when something is worth fighting for and one's willingness to push thru to the potential greatness of a situation. There's no such thing as perfect, a lesson we both had to learn and lock in. But perfect for each other is a real thing. And that's you and me."

Open Post: Wendy Williams, Kevin Hunter Sr. Finalize Divorce

Photo by Johnny Nunez/WireImage

Wendy Williams is officially a single mother. The 55-year-old daytime talk show host finalized her divorce from cheating husband Kevin Hunter Sr.

Wendy suffered public humiliation when Kevin's mistress, Sharina Hudson, delivered a baby girl last year. After denying his cheating ways for years, Wendy finally filed for divorce after checking out of an in-patient alcohol rehab facility in New York.

In court documents obtained by Page Six, Wendy cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the divorce action which she filed in April 2019.

Both Wendy and Kevin agreed to forego alimony in exchange for keeping a $1 million life insurance policy that will go to Kevin if she dies an untimely death.

Wendy retained the right to reduce the amount on a yearly basis. She is also responsible for covering health insurance premiums for Kevin and his infant daughter.

Wendy and Kevin agreed to split the proceeds from the sale of their Livingston, New Jersey mansion which is still on the market for $1.7 million. Wendy listed the house last year for $1.9 million.

After moving into a luxury Manhattan penthouse last year, Wendy paid Kevin $250,000 to help him and his mistress find new living arrangements, Page Six reports.

Kevin, 49, also received an undisclosed lump sum from Wendy, and a severance payment from Wendy, Inc. He will maintain ownership of his businesses and his cars, including a Ferrari and Rolls Royce SUV.

They each agreed to pay their own legal fees.

Rihanna's ex-boyfriend, Hassan Jameel is scrubbing the Internet of all photos of them together.

Robert Littal, the founder of BlackSportsOnline blog and co-host of TMZ Sports, said Jameel contacted him through his attorney, asking him to take down a photo of him and Rihanna together.

"Rihanna's billionaire ex just hit me with a request to take down a pic of him and Riri that has been up since 2017," Littal tweeted on Tuesday. "A whole three years, I don't think he is taking the breakup well."

In response to a follower, Littal tweeted: "It was more of a threat than a request lol. I am not getting in legalish [sic] with a billionaire, got to know when to pick your battles."

Photo may have been deleted

Littal went on to say he was "honored" that Jameel reached out to threaten him with a lawsuit. "The story in question didn't even do numbers," he said, implying that no one cared about who Rihanna was dating.

Rihanna, who has a history of failed relationships with men, dated Jameel for nearly three years - a personal record for her.

She previously dated Chris Brown, Drake, Travis Scott, and A$AP Rocky. She is rumored to have reunited with Rocky after he returned from a concert tour Sweden.

She added:

"So if anyone has anything to say about me or the guy I used to be engaged to, save it. We don't care. Merry Christmas everyone"

But many believe she does care, or she would have kept her personal life private. Most celebrities overshare every aspect of their lives on social media.

Draya, 34, is best known for her role as a cast member on Basketball Wives LA. She also appeared in an episode of Real Husbands of Hollywood and she was in-demand as a LSLH model in music videos by Jay-Z, Usher, Nicki Minaj, and more.

Draya and Orlando were engaged in 2015 after dating for two years. They share a son, Jru Scandrick, and Draya has a son, Kniko, from a previous relationship.

In addition to Jru, Orlando has two children, Tatyana and Taylor. He was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in 2008. He also played for the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles, who released him on October 21, 2019.

Ladies you're in luck if you hoped rapper Playboi Carti was on the market.

On Friday, Azalea, 29, announced the breakup of her relationship with the 23-year-old rapper.

In the since-deleted post on Instagram, the "Fancy" one-hit wonder announced "I'm single."

The split comes amid rumors that Azalea was pregnant with Carti's baby. According to one media outlet, Azalea was six months pregnant. But the Aussie rapper dismissed the rumor by posting a bikini photo.

Last month, the couple's Atlanta mansion was burglarized while Azalea was home. The burglar made off with $366,000 worth of Carti's jewelry, leaving Azalea's things untouched.

Carti downplayed rumors that he and Azalea broke up after the burglary.

"I got one more thing to say too. I wanna just do this for my girl. Me and my girl never broke up. That shit fake," he said during a performance in September. Carti added, "And I ain't gon' lie - I'm lucky as hell!"

Kehlani confirmed she and her rapper boyfriend YG have called it quits. The 24-year-old singer is telling fans she's "single and focused".

The Oakland native, who is best known for her performance on America's Got Talent, started dating YG in September after she welcomed a daughter with guitarist Javie Young-White.

Kehlani and YG first confirmed they were a couple in September, after they stepped out together at New York Fashion Week.

Everyone - from fans to music contemporaries - told her the 29-year-old rapper was wrong for her. But she wouldn't listen. It wasn't long before she regretted her decision.

Doubts began to creep in when the troubled rapper was photographed apparently kissing another woman while leaving a Los Angeles nightclub in October.

Then last week, YG was spotted Christmas shopping with 24-year-old rapper Megan Thee Stallion on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. The sighting sparked rumors that he left Kehlani for Megan.

After being flooded with questions from her followers, Kehlani set the record straight about the status of her romance with YG, real name Keenon Jackson.

Kehlani, who is ghey-for-pay, also denied rumors she is dating Canadian hip-hop singer Tory Lanez, 27.

"Because i keep seeing this. i'm addressing it. absolutely not. we made a song for my album," she wrote in a tweet, which has since been deleted. "I am single. and focused."

Rejoice ladies! Ray J is apparently back on the market. The R&B crooner and reality TV star blocked his pregnant wife, Princess Love, on Instagram.

Ray J, 38, apparently blocked his wife after she accused him of abandoning her and their 1-year-old daughter Melody in Las Vegas this past weekend.

"Somebody tell Scooty boy he's only hurting himself," she wrote next to a screenshot of her estranged husband's account. "This is so funny to me," she added. She also tweeted, "Time to let go."

The 35-year-old mother-of-one accused Ray J of leaving her and their child in Vegas after attending the Soul Train Awards on Sunday night.

"Left me and Melody stranded in Vegas and blocked me from calling," she wrote, "now you wanna post family photos #ByeUgly."

Princess's followers are skeptical that this might be a publicity stunt for their reality TV show. But Ray J has a history of failed relationships with celebrity females. It is not a stretch to believe their marriage is over.

Ray J's more famous sexual conquests include socialite Kim Kardashian-West and the late music icon Whitney Houston. He is best known for a viral sex tape he made with Kim in 2003.

Question: Do you believe Ray J and Princess Love's marriage is over and this is a PR stunt?

R&B star Omarion, pictured right with ex-fiancee Apryl Jones, has no qualms about his baby mama dating his former B2K bandmate Lil Fizz (inset). Omarion, 35, insists everyone has the right to be happy, including his baby mama.

The "Ice Box" singer split from Apryl Jones in 2016, and they remain cordial friends. Apryl recently made headlines after embarking on a new romance with promiscuous reality star Fizz, real name Dreux Frederic, 33.

The budding relationship has been well-documented on their reality show, Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood, leading many viewers to criticize the pair for apparently disrespecting Omarion, and Fizz's ex-girlfriend, fellow cast member Moniece Slaughter.

Omarion, who shares five-year-old son Megaa and three-year-old daughter A'mei with 32-year-old Apryl, has addressed the controversy, making it clear that he doesn't care what she does.

"I don't feel no ways, I don't feel any way about it," he told VladTV. "I think that if they're happy, then they should be happy."

One thing Omarion does take issue with is how the personal drama surrounding Jones and Fizz's romance has been played up for clicks and views. "I think they should change the narrative, though," he stated.

"She's still the mother of my children. When something affects her, it affects my kids, and that affects me. But what she does is, you know, live your life! I think people should do whatever makes them happy."

You're in luck ladies: actor Anthony Mackie is back on the market. Mackie and his wife Sheletta Chapital have reportedly finalized their divorce, following a secret split.

The Avengers star, 41, and his now ex-wife secretly filed for divorce in late 2017 after three years of marriage, according to WENN.com via TMZ.com.

Their break-up was reportedly quietly made official last year, with the pair initially managing to keep their split off of TMZ. Sources close to the pair tell TMZ that their decision to part ways was amicable.

Anthony and Sheletta have three children together, who they also kept out of the public eye, but Anthony did speak about the birth of their youngest child in 2015.

"I recently had my third kid, and it just messed up everything that was my reality," he told the Los Angeles Times at the time. "It just changes your entire perspective on the world. Even traveling is an issue now - I've got to buy five tickets!"

The former couple, who were reportedly childhood sweethearts, also wed under the radar, tying the knot in a small ceremony at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic in 2014, according to the New York Post's Page Six gossip column.

Nicki Minaj Unloads On ‘Demonic’ and ‘Vicious’ Wendy Williams for Mocking Her Husband

BACKGRID, Getty Images

Nicki Minaj called Wendy Williams "demonic" and "vicious" in a furious rant, after the daytime talk show host mocked her new husband Kenny "Zoo" Petty.

The newlywed rapper tied the knot with the 41-year-old ex-convict last month, but Williams made it clear she's not a fan of the shotgun marriage on her Wendy Williams Show.

YouTube.com

"Now, he served seven years in prison and he's also a sex offender," Williams told her audience, referring to Zoo's time served in prison for attempted rape and first degree manslaughter. "So that means that he... is a manslaughter a killer? Okay. So, he's a killer and a sex offender… Well Nicki, congratulations," Williams said, as her audience laughed.

But Minaj, 36, wasn't laughing. She was less than impressed by the TV host's scathing character assassination. Minaj fired back at Williams on her Queen Radio show on iHeartRadio, WENN.com reports.

"It's not about doing your job. There are people who report the news and there are people who do it with an evil intent in their heart, viciousness. And I pray for you because I know you're hurting and I know you must be sick and humiliated," Minaj said.

The rap star continued: "I didn't know that in our society, you have to be plagued by your past. I didn't know that people can't turn over a new leaf. I didn't know that your viciousness and evilness was this deep rooted."

The "Starships" hitmaker then took aim at Wendy's failed marriage to Kevin Hunter, 47. Minaj implied that Williams, 55, is bitter because she's not getting enough good sex.

"When a women isn't really being loved at home, the viciousness is a different type. So I really wanted to pray for you today, because look at where you are now in your life. But you are demonic, and that's why this stuff unfolded. If I were you, I would go and pray, ask for forgiveness. You can report the news — people do it all the time - without the level of viciousness and trying to play dumb and doing all this nonsense."

Solange Knowles has confirmed reports that she split from her husband after five years of marriage.

The Cranes in the Sky hitmaker confirmed in an Instagram post on Friday, Nov. 1, that she and filmmaker Alan Ferguson decided to separate earlier this year.

"11 years ago i met a phenomenal man who changed every existence of my life. early this year we separated and parted ways," Solange, 33, wrote alongside a series of photos of herself.

Photo by RMLA / BACKGRID

Solange likely confirmed the split because rumors were running rampant that she and Ferguson no longer lived together.

It was the second marriage for Beyonce's younger sister, who has a history of mental illness and public emotional outbursts.

Solange was also previously married to her high school sweetheart Daniel Smith, the father of her 15-year-old son, Daniel Julez J. Smith Jr. She was just 17 when they wed, and they divorced in 2007.

the past 2 years have brought me more physical and spiritual transition and evolution than ever before my body left me with no choice but to listen and be still within that stillness i begin my journey in confronting my worst enemy, fear. ive lived my best and worst moments in front of the lens and gaze of the world since i was a teenager. ive always tried to live in my truth no matter how ugly or full of love it is. ive also tried to carve out the space to protect my heart, and my life as it unfolds, evolves, and changes. 11 years ago i met a phenomenal man who changed every existence of my life. early this year we separated and parted ways, (and tho it ain’t nan no body business ?) i find it necessary to protect the sacredness of my personal truth and to live in it fully just as I have before and will continue to do. it is unfair to not have power of your own story as you shape and mold and rewrite it yourself. a nigga ain’t perfect, but im leaning into the fear of the unknown and all the glory and power i know exist within god and the universes grace. may all of your transitions no matter how big or small, be kind to you and filled with incredible love and light!

Niecy Nash Discusses Her 2nd Failed Marriage on TV One’s Uncensored

MediaPunch / BACKGRID

Niecy Nash revealed her failed marriage to second husband Jay Tucker in a post on Instagram on Wednesday. "We believe in the beauty of truth. Always have," they said in a joint statement. "Our truth is that in this season of our lives, we are better friends than partners in marriage. Our union was such a gorgeous ride. And as we go our separate ways now, we feel fortunate for the love we share—present tense."

Earl Gibson III/Getty Images

Two months ago, the Emmy award-winning actress gave marriage advice that turned out to be terribly wrong - for her. In an interview with ESSENCE, the 49-year-old Pisces said today's modern woman should give her husband oral sex twice a day to keep him happy and out of other women's bedrooms.

 

"You can't be all things to every area of your life at all times. You just gotta make sure it's not the same thing that's falling through the cracks every time. And you gotta keep the sex game po-po-po-poppin' no matter what!" she said.

Nash also said married women should have their own bathrooms and find a hobby that they both liked.

Unfortunately, Nash's advice didn't work out for her. The mother of three discusses her failed marriage and her domestic violence nightmare in the next episode of Uncensored, airing Sunday, Nov. 3, at 9 p.m. ET/8C. only on TV One.

PICS: Kelly Rowland Spotted On Lunch Date With Pal

Javiles/Bruce / BACKGRID

American singer Kelly Rowland was spotted having lunch after shopping with a friend in West Hollywood on Thursday. Kelly reportedly split from her husband of 5 years, Tim Weatherspoon, months ago.

Javiles/Bruce / BACKGRID

In paparazzi photos, Kelly, 38, and her friend were seen embracing after having lunch and shopping.

Rumors began to swirl that Kelly and Tim were no longer a couple after she stopped wearing her wedding ring on multiple occasions. Then he stopped wearing his wedding ring, and Kelly was spotted attending celebrity functions alone. Tim still functions as her business manager.

Javiles/Bruce / BACKGRID

Friends say Tim grew tired of Kelly's jet-setting lifestyle. In 2011 she became a judge on the eighth season of The X Factor UK. The couple used up their frequent flyer miles jetting from the West Coast to the UK.

KNNG / BACKGRID

Kelly and Tim were seen out & about in Los Angeles last week. Kelly had an annoyed look on her face, while Tim seemed to be amused. Neither wore their wedding rings.

KNNG / BACKGRID

A source said Tim intentionally booked Kelly's gig in Australia - far away from California, where his mistress lives.

"It's like Wendy and Kevin all over again," whispered an insider. Wendy Williams, 55, filed for divorce from her cheating husband Kevin Hunter, 47, after he welcomed a baby girl with his longtime mistress in March.

Open Post: The Real Reason Kelly Rowland and Her Husband Split

No photo

GAMR / BACKGRID

Kelly Rowland and her husband/manager, Tim Weatherspoon have reportedly split after 5 years of marriage. The 38-year-old singer and original member of the Grammy award-winning group Destiny's Child is a single mother to her and Tim's 4-year-old son Titan Weatherspoon.

Kelly was in Atlanta on Saturday to attend Tyler Perry's star-studded gala for his new film studio.

Paras Griffin/Getty Images

It was a reunion of sorts for Kelly, left, Beyonce (not pictured) and Michelle Williams, the current version of Destiny's Child. Beyonce sneaked into the party through a side door.

As usual, Kelly arrived to the party without Tim, who remained on the West Coast with his new girlfriend.

Which brings us to the reason behind the split.

ERIK BEEGAL / Splash News

Friends say Tim grew tired of Kelly's jet-setting lifestyle. In 2011 she became a judge on the eighth season of The X Factor UK. The couple used up their frequent flyer miles jetting from the West Coast to the UK.

Then in 2017 she was named a coach on The Voice Australia. Which meant more time spent in the sky than on the ground.

Brock Miller/Splash News

Friends say Tim cheated on Kelly "for years." They say she urged him to stay with her in Australia - but he always found an excuse to leave.

"It's like Wendy and Kevin all over again," whispered an insider. Wendy Williams, 55, filed for divorce from her cheating husband Kevin Hunter, 47, after he welcomed a baby girl with his longtime mistress in March.

BACKGRID

As you know, Sandrarose.com broke the story that Kelly was dating her manager, Tim, in 2011. They dated for years prior to making their relationship public.

Another insider told Sandrarose.com back then that Tim forced Kelly to fire her previous manager, choreographer DeVyne Stephens.

"Tim was co-managing Kelly with Devyne," my inside source said in 2011. "A lot of people may not know [Tim is her boyfriend] because he's more like an average Joe. He's not well-known. But she really loves him."

But Kelly soon grew wary of Tim's roving eye. She reportedly gave Tim an ultimatum in 2013: marry me or get to stepping!

RMLA / BACKGRID

Then she fell pregnant with his baby, probably hoping he would settle down as a family man. The pregnancy was a well-guarded secret. My insider, who works at her record label, didn't even know she was pregnant.

Kelly previously dated NFL safety Roy Williams.
