Kendra Wilkinson was photographed holding hands with Bachelor Nation's "Bad Chad" Johnson — who competed for JoJo Fletcher's heart on Season 12 of "The Bachelorette" in 2016 — in Los Angeles on Jan. 21. Two days later, Us Weekly reported that the pair have known each other for a while and, according to a source, "have recently been hanging out a lot more and going on super low-profile dates." The insider went on to say that they're "just having fun" and that "Kendra really isn't looking to get into anything too serious right now" because "she's still partially recovering from her former situation" with her estranged husband, Hank Baskett, to whom she's still technically married.

Teresa Giudice and her lawyer have previously denied that she and husband Joe Giudice — who's been incarcerated since March 2016 on federal mail, wire and bankruptcy fraud charges — would break up if Joe's deported to his native Italy upon his release from prison this spring. But People magazine reported on Jan. 24 that the mother of four told her "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" castmates during the Season 9 reunion taping earlier in January that if her husband of 19 years is indeed deported (he's appealing), "we'd go our separate ways." She reportedly told Andy Cohen that she and her daughters will stay in America if Joe is deported, and if that's the case, their marriage will end.
Multiple media outlets reported on Jan. 3 that Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik started taking a break from their relationship (again) in November but that it might not be the end for them. An E! News source described the time spent apart as "best for the sake of their relationship right now" because they've "both been really focused on themselves and their separate careers." Continued the insider, "They are in different points in their lives right now and decided they needed the time to breath apart from each other. They are still in touch and both hope that things will work out, but their relationship is always up and down." An Us Weekly source, meanwhile, said that Gigi "tried hard to make it work" but that Zayn has "a lot of his own issues that she couldn't help him get through." Said a second insider, "She cut herself off from all her friends every time they were together. … She focused all her time and energy on him, but it just got to be too much."
Jim Carrey, 56, and "Kidding" co-star Ginger Gonzaga, 34, revealed that they're a couple during Showtime's Golden Globes nominees celebration in West Hollywood on Jan. 5. The following day, they attended the Golden Globes together.
Rosario Dawson is dating New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker. The duo got tongues wagging after a Jan. 5 meet and greet with the cast of Broadway's "Dear Evan Hansen," which they attended with her daughter and his niece. "They were so cute together and seemed so flirtatious," a spy told Page Six, noting that there was no PDA between the pair (pictured with "Dean Evan Hansen" actor Taylor Trensch) even though it seemed obvious that they're a couple.
On Jan. 9, Jeff Bezos and his wife of 25 years, MacKenzie, released a joint statement announcing that they've called it quits. Later that day, Page Six reported that the Amazon CEO has been seeing helicopter pilot and former TV anchor Lauren Sanchez, who separated from Hollywood mogul Patrick Whitesell in the fall of 2018. (The two couples were acquainted with one another, and Jeff even posed for a photo with Patrick and Lauren at a party in December 2016.) Then the National Enquirer published exclusive photos of Jeff and Lauren together and alleged that the pair have been having an affair for the past eight months. According to the tabloid, Jeff and Lauren's spouses were only "recently made aware of the fling." (In other words, MacKenzie and Jeff might not have been separated when he started stepping out with Lauren.) Further muddling the timeline, The New York Times snapped a photo of Jeff wearing his wedding ring while standing beside Lauren at Amazon's Golden Globes afterparty on Jan. 7.
Radar Online reported on Jan. 15 that Heather Locklear and her off-and-on fiancé, Chris Heisser, called it quits after a "never-ending" fight while the actress was on a break from rehab over the holidays.

Toni Braxton and Birdman, who spent 2018 planning to tie the knot, stoked rumors they'd called it quits by posting cryptic messages on their social media channels on Jan. 1. "Starting a new chapter isn't always an easy choice… but ALWAYS choose to be chosen. Cheers to a new year," the "Un-Break My Heart" singer captioned a photo of herself on Instagram. She also deleted every other photo she'd ever posted — as did Birdman, who shared a simple text post on his Instagram Story reading, "It's over…" But by the end of the month, it seemed as though they'd reconciled: Birdman surprised Toni onstage during her concert in Atlanta on Jan. 23. The duo shared a lengthy hug before she guided him across the stage by the hand. They reportedly shared a private moment backstage before she returned to finish her set.
On Jan. 2, a Spanish tabloid reported that Grace Kelly's granddaughter, Charlotte Casiraghi, called off her engagement to Dimitri Rassam. A week later, the duo — who welcomed a baby boy, Balthazar, in October — released a statement denying "all unfounded rumors of their separation which are being circulated." They went on to call the breakup reports "cynical and false information" meant "to portray conflict where there is not and never was, with the goal of monetizing it, because the announcement of a separation always motivates good sales." They also threatened legal action.
Country music singer Lauren Alaina took to Instagram on Jan. 21 to announce that she and her high school sweetheart, Alex Hopkins, have called off their engagement.

It's unclear if they're dating.
