Wonderwall.com is taking a look back at the stars who found love, suffered heartbreak or experienced some other major event in their love lives in November 2020, starting with this love triangle… Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly made their red carpet debut as a couple at the 2020 American Music Awards in Los Angeles on Nov. 22. In the process, the actress debuted a new tattoo purportedly dedicated to her beau. Just three days later, she officially filed to divorce her estranged husband, Brian Austin Green. Earlier in the month, Us Weekly reported that, according to a source, things between the former couple had "taken a turn for the worse." Around the same time, Megan described her relationship with MGK as a "once in a lifetime thing" and a connection of "mythic proportions." She told Nylon that "loving him is like being in love with a tsunami or a forest fire" because "the intensity of merging with him is just overwhelming, and the threat it poses is so powerful but so beautiful that you have no choice to surrender with reverence and with gratitude." (No wonder Brian is upset!) Now keep reading for more of the month's biggest celeb love life updates…

On Nov. 13, People magazine broke the news that Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis called it quits earlier this year, ending their engagement of seven years. The actress-director and the "Saturday Night Live" alum, who share two children, were first linked in 2011 and got engaged the following year.
Nick Kroll revealed on Instagram on Nov. 26 that he and landscape artist Lily Kwong, who's currently pregnant with their first child, had quietly tied the knot.
The Nov. 5 episode of "The Bachelorette" showed that the rumors were true: It was love at first sight for Clare Crawley and Dale Moss, who got engaged just two weeks into their relationship on the fourth episode of the 16th season of the ABC reality show, which was filmed over the summer. Although there were whispers that they'd called it quits before the proposal aired on television, Clare insisted in early November that she and Dale were still going strong. They were even snapped smooching in Sacramento, California, on Nov. 6 — the same day they presented a united front on "Good Morning America." During the joint interview, they revealed that they're currently house-hunting together. Three days later, the duo took to social media to share photos and videos of themselves spending time with Dale's family in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Then in mid-November, rumors started swirling that Dale was spending time with other women, prompting questions about his fidelity. According to one tabloid, he was even seen kissing another woman outside a bar in New York City. But Clare and Dale appeared unfazed by the rumors as they celebrated Thanksgiving together at the end of the month.
On Nov. 6, Gleb Savchenko and his wife of 14 years, Elena Samodanova, took to Instagram to announce that they'd called it quits. In the wake of the breakup news, the Internet was abuzz with rumors that the "Dancing With the Stars" pro had an affair with his partner from season 29 of the ABC reality show — "Selling Sunset" star Chrishell Stause — who quickly took to her Instagram Story to insist that she and Gleb are simply friends. The following day, however, Elena released a statement accusing her ex of "ongoing infidelity" and "multiple affairs." The "final straw," she said, was "a recent inappropriate relationship." Though she stopped short of publicly accusing Gleb of cheating with Chrishell, Gleb promptly released another statement insisting that his relationship with the former soap star is "strictly platonic." In mid-November, however, Us Weekly reported that Glen and Chrishell were "still texting all the time" and "having fun" in spite of the drama surrounding their relationship. A second Us Weekly source, meanwhile, claimed that Gleb and Elena "had been having issues for a few months" and his flirtation with Chrishell was simply "the catalyst to bringing those issues to the forefront and over the edge." On the Nov. 24 episode of E!'s "Daily Pop," Chrishell doubled down on her affair denial… In other "Selling Sunset" and "Dancing With the Stars" romance news… During a Nov. 19 interview with Us Weekly, "Selling Sunset" boss Jason Oppenheim denied recent speculation that he and "Dancing With the Stars" pro Sharna Burgess are an item, insisting that they simply "went to lunch a couple of times" and that there's "nothing romantic" going on between them.
Former "The Real Housewives of Orange County" star Meghan King and Christian Schauf's 2020 romance is over, the Uncharted Supply Company CEO told Page Six on Nov 30, but they remain on "good terms," he added. "We lead very different lives and knew that when we met. Sometimes this happens. I wish nothing but the best for Meghan and [her] kids." Meghan was equally positive, writing on her Instagram Story that she and Christian, who went Instagram official in May, "decided to part ways in the most loving and healthy way."
People magazine reported on Nov. 30 that "The Big Bang Theory" star Johnny Galecki and girlfriend Alaina Meyer had parted ways after more than two years as a couple and less than a year after welcoming son Avery.
"Mean Girls" star Jonathan Bennett and boyfriend Jaymes Vaughan, a host on "Celebrity Page," are engaged, the actor's rep confirmed to E! News on Nov. 30. The couple have been together since 2017.
On Nov. 3, E! News published a statement from "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Erika Jayne announcing that she's divorcing her husband of more than 20 years, attorney Tom Girardi. Later, an Us Weekly source attributed the split to the former couple's "unconventional marriage" and the fact that they spent "a lot of time apart" — often "several months" at a time. The insider went on to imply that Erika was ready to move on after she gained financial independence and fame from her gig on the popular Bravo reality show. In the wake of the breakup, there were rumors that she'd already moved on. According to one report, Erika "has been sleeping with" a famous man who works in the entertainment industry "for years." He's reportedly married and "is not an actor, musician or athlete."
In the weeks since they were first seen together at a Halloween party in Los Angeles, Scott Disick and Amelia Gray Hamlin have become constant fixtures at each other's sides. On Nov. 7, they were seen together in Montecito, California. At the time, an E! News source described Scott's feelings for the 19-year-old model as "very casual." The insider claimed he was simply "having fun" and "enjoying being single and getting to know new people." A second source said the 37-year-old father of three was "spending time with different girls" and not "officially dating just one." But then on Nov. 16, the age-mismatched pair were snapped looking cozy together on the beach in Santa Barbara, California, lending credence to the rumor that things between them are getting serious. (See a photo here.) Earlier in the month, there'd been reports that Scott was still open to reconciling with former longtime love Kourtney Kardashian. "Scott has always loved Kourtney, and the door is open on his side in case she ever wants to take their relationship back to a romantic place," said an Us Weekly source, noting that "their friends think they could get back together." Toward the end of the month, TMZ reported that Kourtney approves of Scott's relationship with Amelia and thinks it's good for him and the three children they share.
On Nov. 21, Vanessa Hudgens debuted the new man in her life: She was snapped holding hands with Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop and outfielder Cole Tucker outside the Canyon Country Store in Los Angeles. (See photos here.)
Russell Crowe was seen smooching Britney Theriot during a game of tennis in Sydney on Nov. 10. (See a photo here.) The liplock confirmed recent rumors they're a couple. The 56-year-old Australian actor and the 30-year-old blonde beauty — who had a small role in her beau's 2013 film "Broken City" but now works as a realtor — first sparked romance rumors in mid-October when they were snapped hugging during a different game of tennis.

Country music star Jon Pardi and hairstylist Summer Duncan tied the knot at Saddle Woods Farm in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, on Nov. 21.
On Nov. 22, "The Hunger Games" and "Vikings" alum Alexander Ludwig took to Instagram to announce that he and Lauren Dear are engaged.
On the Nov. 8 episode of the "Hollywood Raw" podcast, Larsa Pippen slammed rumors that she's no longer tight with the Kardashian-Jenner clan because she cheated with Khloe Kardashian's off-and-on boyfriend, Tristan Thompson, and Kylie Jenner's ex-boyfriend, Travis Scott. In the process, she dropped a major bombshell: She dated Tristan before Khloe … and actually introduced them to each other. (Travis, meanwhile, once told Kylie that Larsa was hitting on him after they ran into each other at a club, she alleged.) A few days later, a Kardashian-friendly source disputed Larsa's claims about Tristan, insisting that Khloe met him when they were set up by mutual friend Brandon Jennings. "No one remembers Khloe meeting Tristan before that or being introduced to him through Larsa," said the source, adding that "Larsa was never dating Tristan."

On Nov. 2, MTO News reported that Lil Wayne's girlfriend, Denise Bidot, dumped him over his endorsement of Donald Trump for president. An anonymous source, however, later told The Neighborhood Talk that it was actually the other way around: Wayne "kicked her out" after Denise encouraged her Instagram followers to vote and then used a hashtag for "no Trump for me." In fact, she replied to a tweet about her dumping Wayne over Trump, "I did NOT! This is absolutely false." (That response has since been deleted.) By late November, it appeared the pair had reconciled.
On Nov. 16, Us Weekly broke the news that Audrina Patridge and Rod Stewart's son, former reality star Sean Stewart, are dating. Later in the month, Page Six revealed that things between them are actually serious enough that he's set to appear alongside her on the upcoming season of her reality show "The Hills: New Beginnings."
On Nov. 17, Max Ehrich took to Instagram to share a photo of himself looking cozy with singer Mariah Angeliq at Soho Beach House in Miami.

On Nov. 9, Us Weekly published photos of Kristin Cavallari and Jeff Dye kissing during a date at a restaurant in Nashville on Oct. 28. The same day the pictures hit the Internet, the pair — who were first seen together in Chicago on Oct. 10 — were spotted at the same restaurant in West Hollywood, though they arrived and left separately. (In other words, they've been seen together in three states in less than two months!) Then on Nov. 13, Us Weekly reported that although Kristin "isn't looking for someone serious right now," Jeff has met the three children she shares with her ex-husband, Jay Cutler. According to a source, the comedian is "obsessed" with the reality star and "doing his best to keep himself in the picture for as long as possible."
On Nov. 15, Marc Menchaca was seen with Lena Headey outside her home in the Los Angeles area, seemingly confirming rumors from late October that they're a couple.

On Nov. 9, The Sun reported that, according to a source, Dominic West's wife, Catherine FitzGerald, is gearing up to end their marriage after he fessed up to "having feelings" for Lily James, with whom he was snapped packing on the PDA in October.

(See a photo here.)
On Nov. 4, Sabrina Parr took to her Instagram Story to announce that she and Lamar Odom — who was famously married to Khloe Kardashian — were "no longer engaged."

Then on Nov. 16, Sabrina returned to her Instagram Story to share a lengthy note of encouragement to her back-on beau. "As your woman, I'm gonna always push you to be great! I'll always encourage you to do the right things. When I become your wife, I may push you even more! Not because you're not enough as you are, but because I know how much more you have in you!" she wrote in part, ending by writing "I love you" and tagging Lamar.

In the caption, he wrote that Miami "was fun" and that he's definitely "not worried about no [star emoji]" — an apparent reference to the makeup artist. Bobby, meanwhile, shared a photo of himself cuddled up to the professional basketball player, which he captioned with a "man crush Monday" hashtag. André was also on hand when Bobby celebrated his 30th birthday in late October. They've since posted about each other several more times on Instagram.
