Bethenny Frankel sparked rumors that she'd secretly married her boyfriend, Paul Bernon, when she tweeted on Aug. 23 that she quit "The Real Housewives of New York City" because "I'm the only one that is actually married…that's how crazy this ride is." But here's what she actually meant: She and Jason Hoppy are still legally married more than six and a half years after she first filed for divorce. Jason's attorney and the judge overseeing the divorce case confirmed their marital status to Page Six: "Jason and Bethenny are still technically married," said the lawyer, who went on to allege that "while Jason has been pushing for years to have the judge sign the divorce judgment, Bethenny's lawyers have objected." Said the judge, "It's true that no judgment has been issued. It is not true that one side has objected. The judgment was never issued because an order of protection was issued by the Criminal Court which impacted the previously agreed to joint custody arrangement and Frankel subsequently brought an application to modify the agreement." The reality star got a restraining order against her ex in 2017 after he was charged with harassing and stalking her.
According to TMZ, JWoww and Roger Mathews finalized their divorce on Aug. 29. "Jenni and Roger have reached an amicable conclusion and finalized their divorce.

Kaitlynn Carter joined new love Miley Cyrus at the 2019 MTV VMAs on Aug. 26. According to a Page Six spy, the pop star gave her rumored girlfriend "a sweet kiss" before she took the stage to perform "Slide Away," a new song purportedly inspired by her breakup from Liam Hemsworth. After the show, the two women were photographed walking hand-in-hand alongside Miley's mother, Tish Cyrus, outside a New York City nightclub. According to an Us Weekly source, the pair are "so into each other and attracted to each other." Added the insider, "They're having a lot of fun together and love spending time together."
Meanwhile, Us Weekly reported on Aug. 28 that, according to a source, Liam Hemsworth filed for divorce so quickly because he was disappointed to see that Miley Cyrus was being "so open about her relationship" with Kaitlynn Carter. "He thought they could work it out, but all those pictures of her and Kaitlynn ended that," said the source. "Liam comes from a very conservative family and his family was freaked out by it."
As for the other corner in the love pentagon… Brody Jenner and Josie Canseco are also getting serious: According to an Us Weekly source, the reality star "referred to her as his girlfriend" during his birthday party in Atlantic City, New Jersey, on Aug. 24. The blonde beauty reportedly joined the reality star on stage during his DJ set, and they weren't shy about being "very affectionate" with one another.

Things were more serious between Harry Styles and his former love, Camille Rowe, than we were previously led to believe, the singer revealed during an interview with Rolling Stone that hit the Internet on Aug. 26, admitting that his upcoming album is "all about having sex and feeling sad." Explained the former One Direction star, "It's not like I've ever sat and done an interview and said, 'So I was in a relationship, and this is what happened.' … Because, for me, music is where I let that cross over. It's the only place, strangely, where it feels right to let that cross over." The "Dunkirk" actor's friend and collaborator Tom Hull also shared an anecdote with Rolling Stone about Harry's relationship with the French model, from whom he split in the summer of 2018 after about a year of coupledom. "He went through this breakup that had a big impact on him," said Tom. "I turned up on day one in the studio, and I had these really nice slippers on. His ex-girlfriend that he was really cut up about, she gave them to me as a present — she bought slippers for my whole family. We're still close friends with her. I thought, 'I like these slippers. Can I wear them — is that weird?' … He said, 'Whaaaat? How could you wear those?' He had a whole emotional journey about her, this whole relationship. … But I kept saying, 'The best way of dealing with it is to put it in these songs you're writing."
During an interview with Porter Edit that hit the Internet on Aug. 23, Kirsten Dunst explained why she and her fiancé, Jesse Plemons, have yet to wed: "We're about as married as you can get," she said. "We have a kid together. My mom was like, 'But when are you guys getting married?' And I said, 'Mom, I'm not going to get married when I'm pregnant. I want to have fun and have a drink. I mean, we're paying for this wedding. I'm paying for the bar! I want to enjoy it.' [My mom is] kind of old-school in that way. I thought I would have a hard time getting pregnant, but it was a surprise. If I hadn't met Jesse, I would have frozen my eggs. [But] it feels like I lucked out." She also dished on how they fell in love, saying that she "knew he was going to be a soulmate" when they first met while portraying a married couple on "Fargo." Gushed that actress, "He's my favorite actor — the best I've ever worked with. … I just knew he would be in my life forever. I didn't know what capacity that would be at the time. When the show was over, I just missed him terribly. We didn't get together until a year later. We were both smart enough that we were wondering if the connection was just because we were working together. But it was real."
John Travolta called his former "Look Who's Talking" co-star Kirstie Alley his "soulmate" during an Aug. 22 interview with Us Weekly. When asked if he'd be interested in starring in the recently announced reboot of the 1989 comedy, the Oscar nominee fired back, "I would do anything with Kirstie. So let's see what happens." Back in 2012, Kirstie called John the love of her life.
Although they technically got engaged on the finale of Season 12 of "The Bachelorette" in 2016, Jordan Rodgers proposed to JoJo Fletcher for a second time on Aug. 24, he revealed on Instagram the following day. "I love @joelle_fletcher with all my heart!! I always wanted to re-propose, with no cameras, no producers, no drama…just us," he captioned a photo of himself and his fiancée showing off her new engagement ring. "Our first engagement was so real, and meant so much to us both, but as we start to actually plan our wedding for next year I wanted to do it all over again, OUR WAY! So I bought a new ring, made a plan (that almost fell apart multiple times), and got down on one knee all over again. This time it was simple: Joelle is the love of my life, she is my rock, she is the funniest, strongest, and sweetest person I have ever known. The first time around I fell in love with a lot of what you all love about JoJo. But this time around I got on one knee and vowed to honor and protect her heart, which is the greatest part of her. She loves her family, her friends, me, and complete strangers with the most pure love a human can give. And THAT is what I love most about her most. How she treats people, how she loves people, and how she makes me a better man. And that is what I will always love, cherish, and protect the most! So this time the promise and commitment were the same as the first, but this time my love for her has grown a million times over. And 50 years from now I'll look back and it'll have grown a million times over again. And so the greatest adventure in life begins (again)…with my best friend. Let's get F'ing married already." JoJo posted a similar shot, explaining in the caption that she "thought we were just wedding venue searching this weekend" until her beau proposed. "3 years ago we got engaged in a way that some, if not all, would say is crazy and totally unconventional. & They were right. It was. But it was also very real. We took a leap of faith that day and hoped/prayed things would work out how we wanted them to. Times were not always easy… they actually got very very hard early on, but we stuck by each other and worked every day towards our relationship," she wrote. "Yesterday, Jordan asking me to marry him… again!! I didn't see it coming nor ever expected it… I can't put into words how much it meant to me @jrodgers11 … but I think you know by now from me bawling hysterically and totally blacking out. The show brought us together and set us up for a truly amazing proposal the first time around, but this time was all YOU. And that means everything and more to me. I can't wait to marry you! Thank you for loving me so purely and protecting my heart in a way I always used to pray for."

(See the photos here.) But that doesn't mean they're back together, the "Vanderpump Rules" star told Us Weekly on Aug. 28: "We're neighbors, so it's like super easy to hang out or fly to Vegas together, whatever. It was our friend's 30th birthday," she said. "We hang out a lot, but I don't know, there's something about, like, being in other cities with him and then we just end up making out. … [We] just can't super, super cross the line. … That didn't work out so well last time. We just make out when we're drunk." She went on to say that the Bachelor Nation personality — who said back in April that she's "not my type" — is "hot," has "good abs" and is a "good kisser." Continued Scheana, "We just have a lot of fun together. We had, like, it wasn't even a falling out. It was just like both of us being so stubborn. I'm like, 'Well, you didn't text me back,' and he's like, 'Well you didn't check in with me.' It was like the dumbest fight ever." Eventually, a mutual friend helped them reconcile: "He came over and two seconds later, we were fine. We watched the episode of ['Vanderpump Rules'] of our date together and everything was good," she said.

"Lauren, I'm sorry for my mistakes, I'm sorry I broke your heart, I'm sorry I disrespected you. I'm sorry I took you for granted," he wrote. "I could say sorry for a million other things but I'm sorry will never be enough. I hurt the one person that I love the most. I will do everything in my power to become a better man and hopefully one day you can forgive me. I'll do anything to have you home." He went on to apologize to his two sons — the "Teen Mom 2" alum has a baby boy, Eli, with Lauren and an older son, Lincoln, with ex-wife Kailyn Lowry — for failing "to show you both what it is to be a man." Continued the father of two, "I promise you both my actions will not reflect on how you will treat women, let alone the one you love." He then vowed to be a better example for his kids and to "no longer let any of my loved ones down." Radar Online reported on Aug. 22 that things have been rocky between Lauren and Javi since she found him naked in bed with another woman at their home in Delaware on Aug. 17.
Lindsey Vonn and her love of a little more than a year, P.K. Subban, are engaged, they told Vogue as part of an Aug. 23 exclusive. The hockey player popped the question with a giant emerald ring (because it's his birthstone and green is her favorite color) at home in front of the Olympic skier's three dogs. "I wanted it to be very personal and about how serious I'm taking it," he told Vogue of the proposal. "It's about us and our family. I kept it close to the chest." According to Vogue, P.K. picked up the ring from XIV Karats in Beverly Hills on Aug. 14. "I got the ring and said, 'You know what? I'm just going to do it [at] home,'" he dished. "Everything kind of came together on that day. Everyone says the stars aligned — well, it was actually a full moon. I was worried because I knew she would want to be dressed up and not in her pajamas, and it just so happened she had a business meeting, so she was fully dressed up." The Olympian, who said that she "wouldn't change the ring at all," went on to say that they're in no rush to wed: "We're in such a busy time right now. We're trying to move to New Jersey," she said. "I just want to enjoy the moment and the engagement. We're not in a big hurry to get married. It kind of depends on his playing schedule, and when we have time to sit down and go through it. I don't want to stress him out because he has a big season coming." Gushed P.K., "Lindsey's the best thing that's ever happened to me. There are people in life that deserve to be with good people. They have that person who takes care of them and makes them smile, and she deserves to be with someone who loves her more than anything else in the world, and I do." Added Lindsey of her love, "Right off the bat, I knew he was different. But I'd been married before, so I was pretty hesitant to let myself think that I could find someone that I would want to be married to again. After a few months of dating, I knew he was the one I wanted to be with, though. He makes me happy, and he's so positive and energetic."

"Fears from the past surfaced where we cracked under pressure and weren't able to show our best selves. Those times were the darkest and scariest moments we've ever had. But we decided that we wouldn't let fear dictate our future anymore.. because we have each other and have learned to trust in one another. We learned that our struggles and failures were actually the best opportunities for us to evolve and grow into better people. … Thank you @bachelorinparadise for introducing us, supporting us and teaching us that LOVE DOES EXIST when you open your heart and take a chance.✨To all of our friends, family and fans: Thank you for ALL THE LOVE and support you've shown us as we've learned to be better together.💏 To all those looking for love: Stay true to who you are.

I was really worried about that. … He's even gonna get workout rings that he can wear to the gym." She went to describe how she and her husband deal with the split rumors: "We have to laugh about stuff because, I mean, there are articles saying that our marriage is in trouble and stuff like that. I'm just like, 'Oh my goodness,'" she said. "We have been so solid. I don't even worry about it because as long as we're happy and we're doing good, that's all that matters." Brittany then described married life as "awesome." Said the newlywed, "I think we've settled in very well. I'm just so excited. I love Jax so much so everything's been going great. Hopefully we'll be able to have a family and stuff. We're doing great.

"[Our] relationship is complicated, obviously. He has said that multiple times. I think right now he's focusing on his beer [brand], which is so great. I'm not trying to be in any way … a distraction. I don't want to say that we wouldn't revisit this — because we do feel a type of way about each other." She then dished on the things she likes most about Austen: "I love the fact that he has dimples. I like how tall he is. I love his personality. He just makes you feel very welcome. It's just easy, I guess." The blonde beauty added that she hopes "to be married again one day" but that she's "in no rush" because she's already a mom and doesn't have to worry about a ticking clock to have kids. She told PeopleTV's "Reality Check," meanwhile, that she always has "hope" that she and Austen will end up together. "It's just hard not getting it right," she said. "We care about each other a lot.

We just take it day by day. … He's something I cannot stop. … We just have a good time together, and it's hard to convince everyone that this is your relationship when they are looking from the outside." She concluded by saying that she's "single and definitely not looking" but "trying to be single for once."

"I never thought that I would be in this position. I'm a very forgiving person, but there's one thing that I could never be a part of, and that one thing happened." She then clarified that the one thing she could never be a part of is the baby: "Kevin has a daughter," she said. "He will always be my family, because we have a 19-year-old son, and we were together for 25 years and married for 21. But there was no vacillating. I'm out. That's all I can say. People want me to hate and scream and talk. I won't," she continued. "The main reason I won't talk badly about Kevin is that he was my first true love. I will not have people talk badly. I talk filthy about him, but that is when I get in my apartment and the door is closed and I am talking to myself in the mirror." She then explained why she chose to live in a sober house earlier this year: "My husband was about to have a baby, and I knew that I was about to divorce. I knew that there would be headlines.

In other wedding-planning news… During an Aug. 27 interview with "Entertainment Tonight," Wells Adams said that he and his new fiancée, Sarah Hyland, are in no rush to wed: "Everyone is so invested in the next thing. Like when we were dating, everyone was like, 'When are you moving in?' And when we moved in, everyone was like, 'When are you going to get engaged?' …It's like, hold on, don't forget that the destination isn't what it's about, the journey is what's fun," he said. "We're, like, a month into being engaged and I've never been engaged before and I assume I'm never going to be again, so I kind of want to just enjoy this little time. … Also, Sarah is going to be, like, Pinterest boards and vision boards and a lot of Elmer's glue is going to be involved.

For now, the former star of "The Bachelor" and his girlfriend talk on the phone or on FaceTime at least twice a day to make their relationship work.

I'm not sure what that one was, but we gave each other a lot of really great things and a lot of really great experiences and taught each other a lot, and that's really what you're doing when you're dating. … I'm still very grateful that we dated for two years. But yeah, it's pretty silly." Continued the actress, "Love is a funny, fickle thing where it really is the roller coaster, in the cheesiest way. You fall in love, you fall out of love, you fall back in love, you start bickering so much you think, 'Oh my God, we have to break up!' Then the person does something that just brings you right back to that in-love feeling, right back to that first moment in time where you decided, 'I wanna be with this person.' Then it goes up and down. It goes in a circle again." Bella also dished on how much she still loves her ex-girlfriend, Tana Mongeau. "I love T. Of course I love her," she said. "She's got those eyes, man. … Every time she comes at me with those eyes, man, I'm just putty." Added Bella of her former love, "Tana and I had such a sweet level of understanding of one another and the other person's needs. We were never controlling over each other, or you know, if I saw her at a party kissing a girl, it wouldn't make me upset. I think we have this level of — really, there's a lot of love there. Really, we just want each other to be happy, so even when we're kind of making each other upset — which is really rare — we still kind of have to go out of our way to be like, 'OK, [screw] it,' because there's love there." She refused to address Tana's recent wedding to Jake Paul, saying only that she didn't go because she was filming a project.
During an Aug. 20 interview with Us Weekly, Terry Crews dished on the secret to his relationship of 30 years with wife Rebecca King Crews. "What I say a lot of times is: You can't love someone and control them at the same time," he said. "As a man, especially being young, you feel like you need to control everything and that's not love. You know? Love is freedom. Love is a choice. … If my wife had to come home because she had to, is that love? Or did she come home because she wanted to? See, that's the difference. … You know, we really opened up that way and made sure our marriage was all about freedom and that we choose to be together, not we have to be together, you know what I mean? You show up. Make the choice. It's a choice."

On the Aug. 27 episode of Barstool Sport's "The Corp" podcast, Martha Stewart said that she's "single at present." Joked the TV personality, "Instead of a man, I'm sleeping with an iPad right now. … It's not the best thing. But it's actually an all right substitution sometimes." She then listed the qualities she's looking for in a partner: "Somebody with a nice sense of humor that's kind of athletic," she said. "I want them to be able to climb with me. You can't be afraid of heights! … Let me see. A boat would be nice. A plane would be nice too. That would be nice. I'd like a helicopter. … See, I have already canceled out like 99.9 percent of anybody eligible. But I'm just joking because you have to have time for companionship, right? So you have to have someone who has time to be a companion, to be a fellow traveler who's fun [and has] nice teeth." She also added that she's looking for a Democrat, a foodie and someone with "nice long arms." Good luck, girl!
