Jax Taylor is relying on his friends to get him through his divorce from Brittany Cartwright — because apparently it’s hitting him hard!

On the evening she filed to end their five-year marriage, the 45-year-old reality star was seen with his close friend and The Valley co-star Jesse Lally, as well as the real estate agent’s new girlfriend, Lacy Nicole. The trio had dinner on Tuesday at Craig’s in West Hollywood. Unlike his estranged wife when she went out with her pal, Jax had no smile on his face as he left the establishment! And that’s most likely because, as Jesse put it in a video obtained by The US Sun, the Vanderpump Rules alum “is going through it right now.”

Well, if Jax listened to and didn’t berate Brittany so much — or do whatever else “transpired” these past few months — perhaps he wouldn’t be “going through it right now.” We mean, she made it very clear what needed to happen if he wanted her back. The former model has no one to blame but himself for how things turned out between him and Brittany. Just saying… See pics from their night out HERE.

Obviously, Jax is “leaning on” his pals during this difficult time. An insider told The US Sun on Wednesday that he and Jesse have even become closer than ever as they both are dealing with divorces from their longtime partners. Remember, Jesse and his wife Michelle Saniei broke up earlier this year, just days before the first season of The Valley premiered. So if anyone understands what Jax is experiencing right now is him! The source said:

“He is close with Jesse Lally right now and they are leaning on each other amid divorces. Jesse invited him out on Tuesday evening to Craig’s to support him after the news. Jax arrived about 7 pm and left two hours later. He got in an SUV and then drove down and got Jesse and his new girlfriend, who also jumped in before they headed home.”

It sounds like they had an early night!

“His friends don’t want to leave him alone at the moment, and are rallying around him, but they also have children and responsibilities and I hear he went home alone on Tuesday night.”

As for how Jax is doing after the filing, though? While he “respects” Brittany’s decision to divorce him, he is also “gutted” by how things turned out — which is why his pals, including Jesse, “don’t want to leave him alone” right now. The insider explained:

“Jax is understandably gutted it has come to this, but he respects Brittany’s decision, she is still the mother of his child, and they are focused on making Cruz the priority.”

At the end of the day, Cruz is what matters most here. We just hope Brittany and Jax can co-parent amicably once the dust settles for their 3-year-old’s sake. Thoughts, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments.

Now that Bennifer has come and gone (again), everyone’s looking at Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck‘s relationship differently.

First, before J.Lo finally filed for divorce, sources claimed her inner circle, including her longtime manager Benny Medina, HATED her hubby. Not a great sign! More recently, because they seemingly didn’t have a prenup before tying the knot, Ben’s bestie Matt Damon could get dragged into the messy divorce, which we bet has soured him on Jenny from the Block!

The duo started their production company Artists Equity after the Bennifer wedding, meaning Ben’s stake is now community property in the divorce, according to TMZ. So the singer is entitled to financial interest from their films and could fight Ben for some of his stake in the company! With all that in mind, it got us thinking… If J.Lo’s friends never liked Ben, how did his friends feel about her?? Was everyone seeing the red flags or nah?!

Related: Ben Was With Kick Kennedy In 2020 — Until He Chose To Date Ana de Armas!

Well, it turns out The Martian star was actually very open about how he felt about the lovebirds when they rekindled things. In 2021, Matt chatted with Extra on the red carpet of his movie Stillwater and he weighed in on the romance, sharing:

“I’m just so happy for him.”

So, not exactly a glowing report or any kind of comment on Jennifer herself. Just that he’s happy for his friend. Hmm. It seemed like such a sweet sentiment at the time, but looking back, was this a little cryptic? Was he purposefully not mentioning the other half of the relationship?? Hmm.

FWIW, the 53-year-old did acknowledge Jennifer a little later on — but he still kept his thoughts vague, adding:

“He’s the best. He deserves every happiness in the world. I’m glad for both of them.”

Huh.

By the way, this wasn’t the only time he commented on the relationship. In May of that year, before the romance was confirmed, he appeared on Today where Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb questioned him about the rumored sparks. He coyly teased:

“I just heard you guys. I was sitting here waiting to come on TV. It’s the first time I heard about it.”

But he did gush about them both, saying:

“It’s a fascinating story. I hope it’s true. I love them both. I hope it’s true. That would be awesome.”

Back then, Matt seemed to like the Hustlers alum, as far as we can tell. So we guess it was only her friends seeing the warning signs before anyone else!

But as Ben’s bestie, we wonder if Matt has a different opinion these days?? We mean, he must if he’s about to get caught in the middle of the divorce, right? And just imagine the horror stories he may have heard from his buddy as the marriage was deteriorating! He’s gotta have all the tea — and he’s clearly Team Ben all the way!

Matt’s been by Ben’s side throughout this whole split, and the pair have been spending a ton of time together both before and after the filing. From what we’ve heard Ben has been totally focused on work. Over the weekend, the father of three even seemed in good spirits as he joined The Instigators star, his wife Luciana Barroso, and their children for dinner in Los Angeles. So Matt’s loyalties haven’t changed! Romances can come and go but this bromance will never change.

It doesn’t get more savage than this!

Kaia Gerber just posted the ultimate diss at an ex on her Instagram! On Tuesday, the model posted a photo of herself rocking a skinny black bikini while sunbathing on a dock. Normally, that kind of thirst trap alone would be enough to send a signal — but she added way more oomph! In the photo, she was holding a book titled DEAR D**KHEAD — and in the caption she wrote that it was “a book for someone i used to know.” DAMN! But that’s not all! In a second photo, she highlighted a passage from the book, which read:

“At this point, your sheer dumbf**kery commands a certain respect. But it doesn’t change the basics: I don’t give a s**t about you. All my love to your sister, she was a wonderful friend.”

Damn!!!

Related: Kaia Gerber Didn’t Know How ICONIC Her Mom Cindy Crawford Was?!

Now that’s shady AF!!! Check it out (below):

BTW, the book is a French novel by Virginie Despentes about a “B-list novelist” who insults an actress online and they “strike up a combative correspondence.” And get this! The guy gets “accused of sexual harassment by his former publicist.” The book touches deeply on the patriarchy and addiction, per Macmillan Publishers. It’s the September pick for Kaia and Alyssa Reeder‘s Library Science book club, too, which was also announced on the day this was posted.

But adding in a subtweet of “someone” she used to know is… another level! Obviously with the sexual politics the book is playing in, we have to think she’s blasting a guy she dated.

In recent years, Kaia’s been linked to Jacob Elordi and, briefly, Pete Davidson. She’s currently dating Austin Butler — at least, if they’re still good. Who is this book message for? Well, they all have sisters, so that won’t help narrow down the mystery man! Who do Y’ALL think she could be calling out?? Is she referencing a former beau — or did the Elvis star just do something to piss her off?!

They’ve been linked since 2021 and were last spotted holding hands while out and about in NYC almost two weeks ago. So far as we know, everything’s been going well in the romance… but maybe s**t just hit the fan and she’s subtly hinting at it?? We hope not!! Also with the “used to know” thing we’re thinking ancient history. Then again… it is a pretty fresh-feeling attack!

Joey Lawrence’s alleged costar-turned-lover finally addressed those affair rumors!

In case you missed it, the Blossom alum’s estranged wife, Samantha Cope, filed for divorce after only two years of marriage. She cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason, nothing too shocking. However, we soon learned something more scandalous possibly happened that caused the breakup! It came out that Joey allegedly had an affair with his Socked In For Christmas co-star, Melina Alves! What?!

The shocking accusation came from her estranged husband, Edward Rider, in his divorce documents filed last month! He claimed he found out about the cheating in late March.

Related: Chris Martin Reportedly Ghosted Dakota Johnson & Hooked Up With A Model!

As for Samantha? She has not publicly addressed the affair rumors. However, a source for People claimed last week that Joey “continued to date Melina even after Samantha found out about it and confronted him.” So awful! The insider then claimed the 37-year-old actress “wanted to go to counseling” afterward, but he “fooled their counselor” and got “ready for dates with Melina while Sam watched, bawling her eyes out” instead. We wouldn’t blame Samantha if this is why she left Joey! This sounds like a horrible situation! Who treats their wife so callously? Jeez!

However, a source then told the outlet on Sunday that “infidelity isn’t the cause” of their divorce “not by a long shot.” Well, it’s not exactly a denial of the allegations! But you know who is flat-out denying them now? The alleged mistress herself!

On Wednesday, Melina Alves took to Instagram to insist “there was no sexual relationship” between her and Joey while filming the holiday movie. Instead, she says they just struck up a “meaningful friendship” on set. Hmm. She wrote:

“It is with a deep sadness and heavy heart that I must address the recent allegations about the relationship between myself and Joey Lawrence, which have unfortunately become a public matter. As a private person, it is deeply distressing to see such personal and sensitive issues being discussed so openly and inaccurately. First and foremost, I want to clarify that there was no sexual relationship between Joey and myself while we were on set filming Socked in for Christmas. Our relationship was a meaningful friendship that developed naturally due to the many similarities in our personal situations. When I met Joey, I was immediately struck by his kindness, warmth and genuine character. We found common ground in our shared experiences, which led to a strong supportive friendship that has been a source of strength for both of us.”

OK, obviously the way she’s describing Joey is very… intimate. But we also can’t just drive by this wording here. She says “there was no sexual relationship between Joey and myself while we were on set filming Socked in for Christmas.” While we were on set filming. That’s a hell of a qualifier, right? She’s not saying “there is no sexual relationship” or “there has been no sexual relationship.” She’s saying specifically not at that time and place. It feels like the way a politician answers a question, right? Someone really cooked that answer for legal reasons, right??

When it comes to her own marriage, Melina claimed she and Edward have been “estranged” since January 2023 and “living in separate rooms” since then:

“Our marriage had been struggling for some time, and the separation was a necessary step for both of us. I have always valued my privacy, and it is incredibly painful to have such personal matters thrust into the public eye in a way that has caused harm not only to me but also to Joey, who has been unjustly dragged into this situation.”

Melina wrapped up the lengthy post, noting she made the “difficult and deeply personal decision” to obtain a temporary restraining order against her ex. Whoa. She doesn’t provide more explanation into her decision, other than to say Edward “has presented situations that necessitated” her to get the restraining order and “protect” herself during “a time of vulnerability.” Read the full statement (below):

Do you think Joey and Melina were really pals and nothing more? Melina’s estranged hubby doesn’t! Sources close to Edward told TMZ on Wednesday her statement about them being estranged is BS! In fact, the pair allegedly were still living together earlier this year. We mean, she did note they were “living in separate rooms” under the same roof — not living separately in different houses. So both could be true. Just saying!

However, the insiders claim she went “ballistic” when he filed to end their marriage and ran to the court to get the restraining order, which he thinks will be thrown out. We’ll see! But he clearly believes she cheated on him, no matter what she says! Despite the drama, the outlet reported Edward is solely concerned about the well being of his kid moving forward.

Damn! What a messy situation! What do you think about Melina’s statement, Perezcious readers? Do you buy what she said about her and Joey being just friends? Or do you think something happened between them? Sound OFF in the comments below!

The decision Brittany Cartwright made to file for divorce from Jax Taylor wasn’t an easy one, but it was a “long time coming.” That’s according to a new source who spoke out very late on Tuesday night about the dynamic ongoing between the two Bravo stars who are now estranged from each other and must co-parent their 3-year-old son Cruz while splitting off the rest of their lives.

As we’ve been reporting, the 35-year-old Cartwright filed for divorce earlier on Tuesday. It wasn’t a complete shock — the couple’s problems had been well-documented for a very long time — but it still landed with a major thud when word of the divorce hit the news. So, it’s really over.

Related: Brittany Posts HOT Thirst Trap After Leaving Jax Taylor For Good!

And now, an insider is speaking to People about what went into that decision by the Kentucky native. Speaking carefully about the process, the source began by saying:

“[Divorce is] something Brittany knew she had to do for the best interest of herself and her son … in order to move forward and put a stop to this tumultuous cycle they’ve been living in.”

Whoa. That last part is certainly cryptic. And the comments only got even more cryptic from there! Noting that “a lot has transpired” in recent months, the insider reasoned that Brittany simply couldn’t go on as she had been:

“There’s a lot that has transpired over the past few months that she could not look past. This decision wasn’t made lightly but she feels adamant that it was the right one.”

Yikes…

Meanwhile, that same source says that Jax is “feeling mixed emotions” about the divorce. But Brittany is going headlong into the future, and committed to seeing it through. The insider concluded:

“She knows this is ultimately the right decision but is sad that things ended up the way they have. It’s been an emotional month for him and he’s trying to stay strong for his son.”

And really, Cruz is the most important part here. As long as both parents can stay strong for the little guy and do what needs to be done to give him the love and support he’ll so desperately need, then it’ll all work out in the end. We hope.

Still, these new cryptic comments really have us feeling some type of way. What were the things that went down over the last few months that “she could not look past”?? Is there more going on behind the scenes than even all the stuff that the world already knew about?! Guess we’ll have to wait and see on that…

What do U make of this source’s statements, Perezcious readers? And in the meantime, now that Brittany’s divorce decision has been out there for 24-ish hours, how is it sitting with you? Sound OFF with your reactions in the comments (below)…

Channing Tatum‘s divorce drama is invading his party time!

Taylor Swift and beau Travis Kelce hosted an A-lister bash at her Rhode Island holiday house, which included a lot of famous faces. We got wind of Patrick and Brittany Mahomes being in attendance, along with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, as well as Trav’s big bro Jason and his wife Kylie, among others.

Trav had to take off in the early morning to get back to work. But the party kept going apparently! The weekend may have been over, but on Monday more guests showed up — like Channing and fiancé Zoë Kravitz, fresh off the premiere of their critically acclaimed movie Blink Twice.

Unfortunately, though, according to a report from In Touch Weekly, Channing’s weekend was filled with frustration. His partying was brought to an abrupt halt when he had to stop and sign some legal docs for his court battle with ex Jenna Dewan.

As Perezcious readers know, the divorce has gotten messier over the past few months, reportedly over Magic Mike money. But he can’t even go to a house party without having to work on it? Oof!

As for what these filings were about? According to the outlet, the papers were the 44-year-old firing back at his ex-wife’s attempt to disqualify his divorce lawyers.

Jenna apparently claimed he used the same firm during their marriage, so there’s a conflict, and these papers he signed over the weekend were his rebuttal. In the docs, the actor accused Jenna of attempting to disqualify his lawyers as a “transparent attempt to divert the court’s attention from her willful violation of her court order deposition and discovery deadlines, delay these proceedings and to prejudice [Channing] by ousting his lead trail counsel less than three months before trial on a case that has been pending for more than six years.”

He also said the firm he hired never once represented his ex:

“Neither law firm has ever had any possession of any of Petitioner’s confidential information. And, there is no applicable legal authority to support Petitioner’s claim that the attorney-client privilege extends to a spouse of a minority shareholder of a business entity.”

The 21 Jump Street star’s lawyer also jumped in and accused the professional dancer of just trying to delay the case from progressing:

“Contrary to [Jenna’s] claims, [Channing] has fully complied with his discovery obligations and thus, that is not and cannot be a basis to delay the Court-ordered depositions and discovery or other Court-ordered deadlines any further. [Jenna] has known about Glaser Weil’s co-representation of [Channing] in this action with Blank Rome since May 2024. Yet, she waited until the eve of [Jenna’s] deposition (two months later) to make the baseless allegations.”

Channing is asking that Jenna’s motion to try and get his lawyers sacked be denied, as well as sanction her $20k for her motion and to “deter such obstreperous conduct in the future”. Oof. Yeah, we can’t imagine all that was very much fun taking care of during a T-Swizzle house party. “Oh sorry can’t hit the pool right now, gotta look over divorce papers…”

Reactions, Perezcious readers?

New details about Ben Affleck and Kick Kennedy’s past relationship dropped — and it sounds like they have a pretty messy history!

As you’ve probably heard, romance rumors started circulating about the two over the weekend. Page Six reported the pair were seen together at the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel and elsewhere in Los Angeles lately. Multiple sources even confirmed they’ve been “spending time together.” It’s unclear if things are romantic; we’re hearing conflicting reports.

However, we soon heard one thing that made all this a lot more intriguing — they didn’t just meet for the first time. No, they go way back — long before the Jennifer Lopez marriage! A source said Kick and Ben “had a fling before he got back together with JLo.” Whoa! However, they claimed the two ended things because “she was too young and not ready for anything serious.”

But there may have been something else besides her age that came between them — Ana de Armas! That’s right, a new source says this little… whatever-it-was… happened right before THAT relationship!

The Justice League star began dating Ana in March 2020 after meeting on the set of their ill-fated erotic thriller Deep Water in New Orleans. Things between them got serious fast as she moved in with him during the pandemic. They became tabloid fodder, regularly captured by the paps going for walks together — something many believe were staged! — and posting cute pics on social media.

Their relationship didn’t even make it to the one-year mark. She reportedly dumped him by January 2021! A few short months after that, he rekindled things with J.Lo. And the rest is history!

However, a lost chapter in the history of Ben’s heart… before Ana, there apparently was Kick! A Hollywood source told Page Six on Tuesday:

“Their friendship has been going on for a while, even before Ana. When Ben started seeing Ana in 2020 and chose to quarantine with her during Covid, Kick was less than thrilled.”

Damn! They make it sound like they were on their way to something, even if it wasn’t full-on romance yet. And Ben went off and made a movie with an international sex symbol and forgot all about her! OUCH!

The rejection must have stung for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s daughter — though not enough to stop her from going back to him four years later?

When Ben’s marriage with Jennifer came crashing down earlier this year, he reportedly reconnected with Kick, and they began a friendship again. Whether it’s anything more is up for debate. As speculation about Ben and Kick went wild online, multiple insiders said the pair are at least friendly with each other right now, as they are “hanging with each other” and “getting to know each other.” Even if they aren’t dating, there’s potential for more, right? And let’s be real here, Ben has a habit of going back to exes! Would this really surprise anyone if they hooked up, broke up, and later rekindled their romance?

Plus, it sounds like being a part of the Kennedy fam is a “dream” for Ben. A Hollywood source who has worked with the Argo star told Page Six:

“Affleck would love nothing more than to be part of the Kennedy clan. It’s a dream for any Boston guy … I think he would rather have that than a billion-dollar, red-carpet glam life with J. Lo.”

Ouch! What a blow for Jenny from the Block! However, a spokesperson insisted — once again — the reports are simply “not true.” Hmm. They said:

“This is not true. They are not hanging out.”

His rep really wants us all to believe nothing is going on between them! That they don’t even know one another! But there are several reports that would say otherwise, including this latest one from Page Six — which adds an inneresting layer to the whole Kick story. Thoughts, Perezcious readers? Sound OFF in the comments below.

Brittany Cartwright made it very clear what Jax Taylor needed to do to win her back months ago amid their separation. But since the 35-year-old reality star filed for divorce from her estranged hubby on Tuesday, we’re guessing he didn’t bother doing it. Or anything else to keep her, from what we’ve seen after years of watching him on Vanderpump Rules!

Back in April, Brittany spelled out exactly what would push her to divorce the 45-year-old House of Villains alum. She told Us Weekly that to stay together they, for starters, needed to be able “to have a serious conversation” that doesn’t end in a heated fight:

“Every time I try to talk to him, it turns into an argument but I’m obviously not going to do this for very long.”

And she remained to her word… Until the momma saw some change in or effort from Jax, she would not entertain the idea of them getting back together!

Brittany explained things were “in his hands if he’s going to fix some things” in their relationship. But at that point, she was “not seeing enough effort” from him! Brittany continued:

“He needs to go to therapy. He doesn’t need to be staying out at the bar all the time. He needs to respect me more and stop taking me for granted. I was the closest person to him and was kind of like his punching bag. He was always giving me jabs. I can’t deal with that for the rest of my life.”

A person can only take so much before they break, and it sounds like Brittany had enough at this point. But no one can blame her! We mean, this is Jax Taylor. The guy repeatedly lied, cheated, and acted nasty toward Brittany for years! Heck, he even continued drinking and partying with other women after claiming he was “working things out” with his estranged wife — something she wouldn’t have been cool with due to his history. Jax has always been all talk and no action. Girl deserved so much better! Thankfully, she finally realized it.

At the time, Brittany said there was “definitely” a “chance” she and Jax could rekindle their romance. However, the former model needed to put in the work first because Brittany refused to continue with their “toxic situation.” She said:

“But I won’t waste my time and get back into a toxic situation. Now the veil has been lifted and I see how much I was always cleaning up Jax’s messes. I’m thrown in the middle of all these fights and constantly forced to apologize for him in the media and to friends. It’s hard.”

Oof…

Months later, Brittany has now officially pulled the plug on their marriage. And we bet she did it because Jax barely attempted to save their relationship. She was sick of waiting on him, and we get it! Good for her for not settling and knowing when it’s time to bounce! She already put a lot of energy into this man for far too long, and it’s now time to move on from him once and for all.
