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 early October, starting with this couple… Two months after getting engaged, Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra are already full-steam-ahead planning their wedding. A source told Us Weekly, "The wedding is coming soon and they really want to blend wedding traditions from both of their cultures that are important to them. Priyanka is having a really good time planning the wedding because it's a mix of Indian and American styles and customs, which she knows so much about." Apparently, Priyanka wants a traditional Indian ceremony and her fiancé couldn't be more thrilled about it.

Jennifer Garner wants to be single — ASAP. On Oct. 4, TMZ reported that Jen — who announced her split from Ben Affleck after 10 years of marriage in June 2015 and filed for divorce early in 2017 — just filed legal papers asking the court to transfer their case to a private judge. The reason, TMZ explains, is because "the courts often move at a glacial pace and Jen is out of patience. A private judge can accelerate the process and handle the final details quickly." The site reports that the actress hopes to be legally single by the end of 2018. The reason Jen and Ben's split process has taken so long, TMZ adds, is because Jen didn't want to finalize a custody agreement with Ben if he wasn't sober. And as the world knows, he's been struggling with alcohol issues over the last few years. In August, Jen led an intervention to get him back into rehab, which has, so far, been successful.

People magazine got it right, TMZ reported on Oct. 2: After weeks of speculation and conflicting reports from multiple outlets, it turns out that Justin Bieber did legally marry Hailey Baldwin at a New York City courthouse on Sept. 13 — barely three months after they rekindled their previously on-off romance and just two months after he proposed in the Bahamas. And, TMZ reported, they proceeded with the civil ceremony without a prenup in place. TMZ reports that the couple, whom some outlets believed only got a marriage license that day, had a preacher there (Nyack College faculty member Jeffrey Quinn) and had Justin's friend Josh Mehl, who attends Churchome in Los Angeles, serve as a witness. More evidence they're married? The Windsor Star reported that during Justin and Hailey's Sept. 30 visit to Canada's Stratford Perth Museum — which has an exhibit dedicated to the pop star's career — Justin "very graciously introduced Hailey as his wife," museum staff wrote on Instagram. All that said, the next day, TMZ reported that Justin and Hailey still don't really consider themselves to be married yet. "We're told they believe a church ceremony is necessary to make the marriage meaningful in the eyes of God," TMZ wrote in an Oct. 3 report, adding that a religious wedding ceremony is in the works for early 2019.

Sophia Hutchins, 22, just opened up more than ever before about her relationship with Caitlyn Jenner, 68. Though Sophia — who, like constant companion Caitlyn, is a transgender woman — said she wouldn't define their relationship as "romantic," she made some other comments that make it pretty clear these two are far more than friends. TMZ obtained a clip of the 2018 Pepperdine University graduate's interview with Jim Breslo for his Oct. 3 "Hidden Truth" podcast in which Sophia says, "I would describe our relationship as we're partners… we both are such a good match for each other because we challenge each other… It's just a great match, a great partnership." She confirmed that she and Caitlyn live together too. "We're partners in everything that we do. We're inseparable. We're business partners. We live together. We share a dog. We share family. We share a life together," Sophia added. "But as far as caving into the media and having one of us label it as something, we're not going to do that." As for ongoing engagement speculation, she said they'll tell the world if that happens. "If Caitlyn and I were to be engaged, we would announce that," Sophia insisted. "We're not ashamed about our relationship at all. But we do like to have some privacy and that's something that we would decide when the time was right to announce."

Talk about awkward! While appearing on the Sept. 27 episode of "Watch What Happens Live," model Elle Macpherson opened up about her time with Billy Joel and how their relationship overlapped with Billy's romance with model Christie Brinkley, who would later become his wife (and ex-wife). Elle said the musician brought Christie home to his Manhattan penthouse one night when Elle was there waiting for him. "I think he was dating Christie at the time, just starting to," Elle explained. "So yeah, I got ousted, what can I say?" Elle, who was just 19 when it all went down, also weighed in on whether Billy's huge hit "Uptown Girl" is about her or Christie. "I think it's [about] all the uptown girls, put it that way," she told host Andy Cohen, adding, "he liked tall girls."
