Us Weekly reported on Feb. 28 that — much like onetime star of "The Bachelor" Jason Mesnik — Arie Luyendyk Jr. proposed to one of his two finalists (either Becca Kufrin or Lauren Burnham) on the finale of Season 22 of "The Bachelor" but then dumped her so that he could date the runner-up. "Arie had a change of heart," a show insider told the tabloid. "He began to think he'd picked the safer option." Arie reportedly proposed in Peru in November 2017. "They were super-happy," said a second source of the race-car driver and his fiancée. But two months later, the doubt kicked in: "He had second thoughts," said the show insider. "He realized who he really wanted to be with and really loved. He just couldn't stop thinking about the other woman." He reportedly dumped his fiancée in early January 2018. "Arie didn't handle the situation well," said the source. "He wasn't sympathetic or even very nice." He then tracked down the runner-up and "begged her to take him back." He and the runner-up are currently together.

The Daily Telegraph reported on Feb. 21 that "rumours are swirling throughout Hollywood" that Jennifer Lawrence and Joel Edgerton have become more than just friendly colleagues since working together on "Red Sparrow." According to the Australian tabloid (per Daily Mail Australia), "The co-stars are often seen having private moments, chatting and giggling together." But Joel isn't the first co-star to whom J.Law has been erroneously linked…

During a Feb. 26 interview with a British radio station, Jennifer Lawrence opened up about the rumors that she and "Passengers" co-star Chris Pratt had an affair, which allegedly lead to the collapse of his marriage with Anna Faris. "I never had an affair with Chris Pratt on 'Passengers.' That's a good [rumor]," she said. "I mean, they got a divorce like two years later and everybody was like, 'Jennifer Lawrence!' And I was like, 'What the … what I'm in Montreal two years later." Anna previously addressed the affair rumors in her book, "Unqualified," writing that her publicist warned her to expect such silliness. "Before [Jennifer and Chris] met in person, my publicist pulled me aside," wrote the "Mom" star. "'Anna, listen there are going to be paparazzi all over them,' she said. 'There are going to be shots of them laughing together on their way to set. There are going to be stories circulating, and you have to brace yourself for this.'" Anna added, "Jennifer and I really are friendly, and she was apologetic even though she didn't need to be because she hadn't done anything wrong." During the radio interview, J.Law also called the late 2017 rumors that she was dating Brad Pitt "weird."
According to a Feb. 28 report in In Touch, Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux have a custody agreement for their four dogs: a white shepherd mix, a terrier and one pit bull who are Los Angeles-based and another pit bull who lives in New York City. "They've always referred to them as their children, and it looks like Jen will keep the L.A. dogs with her and Justin will keep the pit bull in NYC. But it was the biggest bone of contention in the split," a source told the tabloid. Another source added that the former couple — who announced on Feb. 15 that they'd parted ways in late 2017 — have also "made an arrangement for visitation" for their beloved pups. Meanwhile, a neighbor with whom Justin has been feuding for months told TMZ as part of a Feb. 24 report that "everyone knows Jennifer hated" the actor's NYC pad. He also said that the star of "The Leftovers" is "acting crummy to [Jen] like he did to me" and alleged that Justin once asked him to help move a previous girlfriend out of the apartment. (A rep for Justin told TMZ that the neighbor has never met Jen.)
Miranda Lambert and Anderson East have called it quits after two years as a couple, In Touch reported on Feb. 27. The duo reportedly grew apart while touring separately. Still, the "Little Red Wagon" singer "didn't see it coming" a source, who described Miranda as devastated, told the tabloid. The insider added that Blake Shelton's ex has been writing songs and focusing on touring rather than the breakup: "She refuses to sit around feeling sorry for herself," said the source. In August 2017, there were reports that the duo could be headed for an engagement.
People magazine reported on Feb. 26 that Ewan McGregor and "Fargo" co-star Mary Elizabeth Winstead — the woman for whom he left Eve Mavrakis in May 2017 after 22 years of marriage — are still going strong in spite of a recent report that claimed they'd called it quits after the scandal surrounding their relationship became too much for the 33-year-old actress to bear. "Mary hated being labelled a homewrecker and the embarrassment it caused her. It's sad because a year ago Ewan and his wife were in great shape and then he decided to throw it all away for Mary. Now it looks like he's lost them both for good," a source told Star magazine (as reported by The Mail on Sunday on Feb. 24). Ewan filed to divorce Eve on Jan. 19, 2018, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split. Their divorce could prove to be contentious: According to People, the "Star Wars" actor wants joint custody of their daughters, while his ex wants sole custody with visitation for the actor. "It's disappointing and upsetting but my main concern is our four children are okay," Eve told The Sun of the breakup.
There's a new man in Lorde's life — and he's not Jack Antonoff. Rumors that the frequent collaborators were more than friends kicked off (again) after they were photographed looking especially flirty in New Zealand recently. But The Blast revealed on Feb. 22 that the singer's beau is actually the man who joined Lorde and Jack on their much-publicized outing: "We're told by sources that the looker to Lorde's left is actually her current boyfriend, Justin, who is also from New Zealand and is decidedly not Jack Antonoff," wrote the webloid. The "Royals" singer also shot down the rumors that she and Jack are dating during an Instagram live Q&A on Feb. 22. "Guys, no!" she said after a fan asked if there was any truth to the rumors. "Guys, Jack and I are not dating, for the last time," she added. "I love him. He's awesome. But we're not dating. Please!"
Claire Foy and Stephen Campbell Moore announced on Feb. 22 that they're calling it quits after four years of marriage and a daughter together. "We have separated and have been for some time," they said in a joint statement. "We do however continue as great friends with the utmost respect for one another." A source told The Sun that the breakup "came as a real shock" to the duo's friends. "But they're lovely people and are determined to keep everything civilized," said the source. "Obviously it has been a very sad period for both of them, and for their wider families. But they are wonderful parents, intelligent and both successful in their own right. They've just decided that unfortunately their relationship simply wasn't working and that this would be for the best." The duo reportedly met on the set of the 2011 Nicolas Cage flick "Season of the Witch." Last year, the "Goodbye Christopher Robin" actor had a lifesaving operation to remove a brain tumor. He also had a walnut-sized tumor removed in 2012.
Alicia Silverstone and punk rocker Christopher Jarecki have separated after 13 years of marriage. "They still deeply love and respect each other and remain very close friends but have mutually decided to separate after being together for 20 years.

She's reportedly asking for spousal support and joint custody of their two kids. According to divorce documents, Tisha and Duane have been separated since December 2016.
People magazine revealed on Feb. 26 that Brett Young and his longtime girlfriend, Taylor Mills, got engaged earlier in the month at the Graduate hotel in Oxford, Mississippi, which is near his alma mater, Ole Miss. "We met in Arizona while she was at school at ASU, and we will likely get married there, so I thought it would be romantic to propose where I went to school," said the country crooner, who reportedly popped the question with a custom ring featuring his and Taylor's initials that he designed with David M. Kodner of David Kodner Personal Jewelers. The couple first met a little more than a decade ago. They recently reunited after taking a lengthy break following six years of coupledom. "There was never any bad blood; it was just the wrong time for us. We recently got back in touch and realized that we were both finally in the same place and knew it was right," said Brett, whose relationship with Taylor inspired most of his first album. "We are both more excited than we can express and looking forward to starting this chapter of our lives together," said the couple.

During a Feb. 23 appearance on "The View," Tamar Braxton revealed that she and estranged husband Vincent Herbert, whom she filed to divorce in late 2017, are in "extensive counseling." She also denied rumors that they staged their relationship issues as a plotline for their WE tv reality show, "Tamar & Vince." Said the singer-actress, "I absolutely have no reason to lie about my marriage and the things that's happening in my marriage for ratings. I think that's disgusting and I would never sell my soul to the devil like that." She continued, "I have a regular marriage, and like everybody else, things happen. In my marriage, it was just to a point where I felt like divorce was the only option that I had left." She called their counseling "much needed," adding that it "will always be" needed. "But I think the bigger picture of everything is that we have a responsibility to my amazing 4-year-old son and just to raise him in the most comfortable, amazing, loving, secure household that we can. That's why we don't live together." The duo also shot down rumors that Vince got another woman pregnant.
Things are getting serious between Christina El Moussa and Ant Anstead. Life & Style reported on Feb. 28 that the TV stars are talking marriage. "They would love to get married, and they're discussing it already," a source told the tabloid. "Christina knows Ant is 'the one,' and the feeling is mutual." Though the "Flip or Flop" star finalized her divorce from Tarek El Moussa in January 2018, her boyfriend of just a few months is still technically married to his estranged wife, Louise, with whom he shares two children. "Ant and Louise were childhood sweethearts, and they remain on good terms," said the Life & Style insider. "It's unlikely that their divorce will be long and messy." As for Christina's ex-husband: "Tarek has given them his seal of approval," the source said. "He's pleased she's found happiness with an age-appropriate, decent guy."
Though they broke up on "The Bachelor Winter Games," Clare Crawley and Benoit Beausejour-Savard are now set to wed after getting engaged on "The Bachelor Winter Games: World Tells All," a special that aired on Feb. 22. The duo reconnected immediately after they returned home from shooting the reality TV show, they revealed. "You never give up on life, and this is the best thing about you, and I would never, ever give up on you. I feel there is someone up there watching us right now," the former "The Bachelorette Canada" suitor said before popping the question. As for the other "Winter Games" couples: Lily McManus and Courtney Dober are still together and are planning to move to Los Angeles; Dean Unglert and Lesley Murphy are still going strong and planning to move in together; and competition winners Ashley Iaconetti and Kevin Wendt are still together.

It's been nearly three years since Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick called it quits, but the father of three hasn't completely moved on from his baby mama and former longtime partner. E! News reported on Feb. 28 that Scott is "insanely jealous" of Kourtney's boyfriend of more than a year, Younes Bendjima. "He just can't come to terms with the fact that Kourtney has found true happiness with someone else," said a source, who added that Scott never thought his ex would "become so serious" with the 24-year-old model. Even though he's been in a relationship with Sofia Richie since mid-2017, Scott "can't deal with someone else having Kourtney," said the insider. "It makes things between them tense and unpredictable," the E! source added. "Kourtney never knows when he is going to fly off the handle or go nuts about something. Scott just never thought it would last this long with Younes." The reality TV star is reportedly "very happy" and "in love" with the former boxer. "Scott is hurt she chose someone else and it really bothers him. He can't control his emotions about it and lets it all out," concluded the E! source.

There is nothing to confirm or deny," a rep for the "Ray Donovan" star told the Daily News after the vacay photos surfaced. The publicist previously insisted that the former beauty queen and the actor "are friends and she sometimes helps out with the kids — they are not dating."
During an interview with the April 2018 issue of Cosmopolitan, which hit the Internet on Feb. 27, Cardi B opened up about her decision to stay with her fiance, Migos rapper Offset, after he allegedly cheated on her. "It's like everybody is coming down my neck like, 'Why are you not leaving him? You have low self-esteem,'" she said. "I don't have low self-esteem. … I know I look good. I know I'm rich, I know I'm talented. I know I could get any man I want — any basketball player, football player. But I want to work out my s— with my man, and I don't got to explain why." Added the rapper, "I'm not your property.

Amy Schumer dished on married life during an interview with the SiriusXM show "You Up With Nikki Glaser" on Feb. 26. "It feels f—— good!" she said. "I'm wife as hell. But it's still, like, a novelty. Somebody went to sit next to my husband and he's like, 'My wife is sitting here,' and then I got back and he was excited to tell me that he said that." She added of calling Chris Fischer, whom she wed on Feb. 13, her husband, "I just have been really overusing [the word] to a degree that's insane. Like, when it's completely uncalled for." The comedian also dished on their wedding vows: "Mine sucked!" she said. "I thought mine were good. I wrote mine in, like, 20 minutes [and] I was crying when I wrote them. But his blew me out of the water so hard. … All his stories about me that were supposed to be endearing were about me screaming at him. I just annoy him all day." As for their surprise nuptials after a whirlwind courtship, Amy said, "Part of the thing that's good about us getting married so quickly is that we're so in love." Aww!
