Cardi B and Offset secretly tied the knot in front of her cousin at their home in Atlanta on Sept. 20, 2017 — a month before he proposed on stage during a concert in Philadelphia. TMZ broke the news on June 25, a day after the Migos rapper raised eyebrows by thanking his "wife" while accepting the award for best group during the BET Awards. The "Bodak Yellow" chart-topper took to Twitter to confirm the report: "There are so many moments that I share with the world and then there are moments that I want to keep for myself! Getting married was one of those moments," she wrote. "Our relationship was so new breaking up and making up and we had a lot of growing up to do but we was so in love we didn't want to lose each other." She added that the surprise nuptials took place after they woke up one morning in September and decided to get married. "We found someone to marry us, and she did, just the two of us and my cousin. I said I do, with no dress no make up and no ring! I appreciate and love my husband so much for still wanting for me [to] have that special moment that every girl dreams of when he got down on his knee and put a ring on my finger and he did that for me!!" she said before concluding that now everyone "can stop saying I had a baby out of wedlock."

Khloe Kardashian took to Twitter on June 25 to shoot down a DailyMail.com report claiming that the evening before, she looked "sad and bored" and "miserable" during a "VERY tense" dinner date with baby daddy Tristan Thompson in Los Angeles. According to the webloid, the new mom "looked tired and distracted throughout the meal, which she spent seemingly ignored by her cheating beau and their dining companions." She also "didn't look like she was having fun" and "didn't even bother to stifle her yawns" during her night out on the town. According to DailyMail.com, "Khloe stared straight ahead, as Tristan kept his eyes glued to his phone. Having found something worth sharing, it was his friends to who[m] he showed the amusing message, rather than the mother of his child. … Khloe stared ahead, occasionally checking her own phone." (The website also notes, however, that the pair held hands as they headed home together, with Khloe "managing a smile" for the paparazzi.) The new mom got wind of the report — and she was not having it. "You make up anything!! I actually had a great night," she tweeted. "It was a large birthday dinner for friends and as a new mom IM TIRED AF!! Being out past 10pm is not where I'll have the most energy these days." That same day, Khloe tweeted at a fan who criticized her for staying with Tristan following his cheating scandal: "You have no knowledge of what goes on in our household or the enormous rebuilding this takes to even coexist," she wrote. "I'm proud of my strength. I appreciate your opinion and I hope you hold that same opinion to everyone else who has stayed in situations."

"The most magical night ever 💕 thank you to my amazing friends and family for celebrating my future as Mrs. Cook! I have never felt more loved," the bride-to-be captioned a photo of some pink balloons at the bash. The star of "The Big Bang Theory," who donned a pink dress when she married her first husband on New Year's Eve in 2013, announced in one video from the party that she'll be wearing white when she weds Karl.

Blake Shelton dished on falling in love with Gwen Stefani during an interview with NBC's "Sunday Today with Willie Geist," which hit the Internet on June 20. "When I was going through my divorce and just hit rock bottom … it's a miracle that I met somebody that was going through the same exact thing that I was at the exact same moment in time," he said. "I think in the back of our minds, we both kind of thought, 'This is a rebound deal,' because we were both coming out of a pretty low spot in our lives and we're kind of clinging to each other to get through this. But now here we are, going on three years later and every day that goes by just feels like a stronger bond between the two of us. It constantly feels like it's going to the next level."
Meanwhile, as part of an InTouch report that hit the Internet on June 27, a source close to Miranda Lambert dished on her breakup from Blake Shelton and how hurt she was by his relationship with Gwen Stefani. "She wears her heartbreak like a badge. The cold-blooded way Blake broke her heart, cut her out of his life and shoved his romance with Gwen in her face is something that will scar her forever," said a source. "Blake really put her through hell, and she's letting people know it." According to the insider, Blake dumped Miranda and kicked her out of their home in Tishomingo, Oklahoma. "In a matter of days, she was sent packing. She didn't know what hit her," said the source. "She became more distraught when rumors spread that she'd cheated with a number of men and Blake did nothing to stop it. It was a nightmare for her." But according to the insider, the real reason the superstar duo split was because they'd simply grown apart due to their careers. "They became strangers," said the source. "She lost trust in him, and he became suspicious of her. She knew the marriage was in trouble but somehow she always thought they could come together and save it." A source close to Blake told InTouch that "he feels like he's being villainized and "is done with Miranda writing and talking about the divorce." But according to the Miranda source, "Blake's a big part of her confessional songs and is going to be for a long time to come … and if Blake's reputation takes a beating along the way, he's getting what he's long deserved."

Tiffany then described how Drake asked her out after she appeared in his "Nice For What" music video. "He was like, 'We should hang out some time.' I'm like, 'Yeah, I'm down to hang out. I'm cool to hang out. You let me know.' And he was like, 'Let me take you to dinner.' And I was like, 'That sounds good.' And he was like, 'Okay, cool, we'll make it work.' So I blocked all this time off," said Tiffany. "Like, shoot, I'm gonna get my mustache waxed. Get my armpits waxed. Got me a nice little dress. Then I'm like, 'So what time are we heading out? Are you sending a car? Like, where are we going?' And then he's like, 'Oh, man, my bad, family emergency. I'm in Canada right now.' And I was like, 'Okay.' I could've made $100,000 today, but I was trying to see what that D do. But all right. Not gonna do that no more." She was then promptly linked to another A-lister…

I'm the luckiest woman in the world!" the Victoria's Secret model captioned a photo depicting the proposal: the words "marry me?" spelled out in red roses on an isolated sand bar, which she arrived to via seaplane after her beau teamed up with her agent to trick her into thinking she was on her way to a job. (Jonathan coordinated everything himself, from making a fake call sheet for a fake photoshoot to picking out the outfit Devon donned during the proposal.) The blonde beauty, who showed off her jaw-dropping engagement bling in a selfie with her beau that she posted on her Instagram Story, also shared a shot of her shocked reaction as Jonathan popped the question from down on one knee.

Most romantic proposal ever?

Her beau popped the question after they took a gondola ride to the top of the Alps and then hiked down to a secluded lake. Said Katie, "I was like, 'This is so beautiful.' There are the Alps everywhere. And he was like, 'Hey, babe, what day is it?' And I was like, 'I know he knows it's New Year's Eve.' So I was like, 'It's Sunday.' We've been together four and a half years. I have dropped not-so-subtle hints that I wanted him to ask. He used to say things like, 'I'm gonna marry you someday,' and I was like, 'You're gonna marry me on Sunday?' So he asked me what day it was, and it was Sunday. Then he reached into his backpack and pulled out a letter. Three years ago, he wrote me a stack of letters for me to open at times when we were apart. So, like, open when you miss me, open when you're on the plane to see me. … And one letter said, 'Do not open until I say so.' So I am very guilt-ridden and I haven't opened it for the three years that I had it. So he pulled it out at the lake and I opened it, and it said, 'Katie, marry me?'"

Larry Caputo, the estranged husband of "Long Island Medium" star Theresa Caputo, told TMZ on June 26 that there's a new woman in his life. "I have moved on," he told a videographer who ran into him in Santa Monica. "I'm fortunate enough to say that I have met someone special. But I'll just leave it for that now." Larry moved to the Los Angeles area in late September 2017. Three months later, he and Theresa announced that they'd separated. "The separation was a three-month trial period, and we've moved on from that point," Larry told TMZ. "We're in divorce proceedings. That's been going on for the last six months. It's not finalized. I don't know when it will be. But that's where we're at." Added Larry, "I'm doing fine. I know she's doing well. I'm happy. We've moved on with our lives." As for his future with the TLC show, "I don't know what the status is. All I can say is fans are going to have to tune in and watch. I honestly don't know if I'll be involved anymore," said Larry, who also dished to Radar Online about how the series impacted his marriage. "[It was] exciting and fun in the beginning, but then after the longevity you become more exposed, now it affects your private life," he said as part of an interview that hit the Internet on June 27. "When you're in the public eye, it does put a strain on your personal life. … That can be hard for the average person who is not a trained actor, because a trained actor knows what they're getting themselves into. … A reality person doesn't realize what they're getting themselves into, until they're in it and it's a learning process." Continued the former reality star, "What Theresa does is very demanding, and it was consuming most of her time — which takes away from personal time. … We've grown in different directions."
