Speaking out post-accident
Kevin Hart is finally speaking out about his near-fatal car accident: He shared a video of his recovery on Instagram on Oct. 29. "Basically what you realize is that you're not in control. No matter how much you think you're in control, you're not in control," he says over the video as it opens. "At the end of the day, it can all be over, man." The words, "My world was changed forever" showed up on the screen. Kevin has said next to nothing publicly about the Sept. 1 car accident that left him with a fractured spine, other comments wishing the other people in the car well in their recoveries. The video shows him in a hospital bed, presumably right after the accident. It also shows him doing physical therapy. "When God talks, you gotta listen." he said. "I swear, life is funny. Because some of the craziest things that happen to you end up being the thing that you needed most. And in this case, I honestly feel like God basically told me to sit down." Kevin, who reportedly has no plans to sue the driver, said he sees life in a different way now.

"She'd had enough and ended [their engagement]," a source told Us Weekly. "She has no regrets." The duo was first linked in 2011 and split in 2014. They reconciled a few months later, only to split again. They reunited in 2017 and announced their engagement on Instagram last year.

Marriage issues
The future for Joe Giudice and Teresa Giudice is very much up in the air. During their much-hyped intercontinental interview with Andy Cohen, which aired on Bravo Oct. 27, the couple said divorce is possibility, especially if Joe is permanently deported to Italy, where he's been living for the last few weeks following his release from Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody. "I want the best for him. I want him to be happy and I want him to be successful," Teresa said. "But I don't know if we could stay together, him living across the [world]." During the conversation, they both said they believe the other was not faithful during their marriage. Asked about staying together, Joe said, "If we stay together, we stay together, if we don't, we don't. It's a conversation, we'll see. … As long as she's happy, that's all that really matters. I'm not going to tell her what to do. If she doesn't feel like she wants to be with me anymore, then that's the thing to do." Teresa and their four kids have no plans to call Italy home. "The kids don't want to go there," Teresa said from New York City. "It's like, they've been through enough."

Evacuees
A slew of actors and celebrities were forced to flee their homes this week as wildfires torched parts of Los Angeles and destroyed homes. Arnold Schwarzenegger and ex Maria Shriver, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, Kate Beckinsale and LeBron James were just a few of the stars who had to evacuate. "We evacuated safely at 3:30 this morning. If you are in an evacuation zone, don't screw around. Get out," Arnold tweeted on Oct. 28. Maria said she grabbed a photo and a few notes her children wrote to her and got out. While fires raged, LeBron showed his appreciation for first responders by sending a taco truck to help feed them.
Splitting
Jenelle Evans is done with her marriage. The former "Teen Mom" star has filed for divorce from David Eason, her husband of two years. "With time away from Teen Mom, I've started to look at my life differently and I know I need to make changes. I'm starting that now," she wrote on social media. "The kids and I have moved away from David. Nobody gets into a marriage expecting it to end but I know that's what is best for me, and for my kids. Today I've filed papers to start that process." The duo's marriage was filled with drama, from domestic violence accusations to David shooting the family dog.
Romance over
The romance between reality TV star Brody Jenner and model Josie Canseco has ended after nearly three months. "Brody basically broke it off with her because it was getting too serious and he didn't want the pressure of a new relationship," an insider told E! News. "Josie wanted a lot from Brody and was eager about the relationship. Brody has been busy traveling for his music and is trying to focus on himself. He wasn't ready for a big commitment and wants to have fun." TMZ reported that the duo's 14-year age difference became an issue too. "They're just on different pages in life," the report said, adding that Brody and Josie had already scrubbed each other from their social media accounts." As for the inevitable speculation that Brody could get back with ex Kaitlynn Carter, TMZ's sources said that's not happening.
Emotional conversation
In her new memoir, Demi Moore called Bruce Willis "controlling" during their marriage, so she didn't know how he'd react when he got around to reading "Inside Out." When he recently spoke to her about it, he left her in tears… for all the right reasons. "I was getting ready to do Jimmy Fallon['s late night show] live the other night, and I was in the dressing room and my phone rang, and it was Bruce," she revealed on Netflix's Oct. 25 "Present Company with Krista Smith" podcast. "I was prepared for there, maybe, to be some sensitivities, and he called and he got very emotional. He said, 'I'm so proud of you.'" Demi was then overcome with emotion as well. "I, too, then became very emotional, and I'm not a crier," she said, "[but] to be walking out and [have] that encouragement, it just really meant so much, so much to me."
New baby
Ricky Martin and husband Jwan Yosef are fathers again. They took to Instagram on Oct. 29 to share the news that their fourth child had arrived, with Ricky writing in Spanish, "Our son Renn Martin-Yosef was born." They're also parents to twins Valentino and Matteo and daughter Lucia.
Divorce
Niecy Nash and her husband of eight years, electrical engineer Jay Tucker, have split. The actress made the an announcement on Instagram on Oct. 30. "We believe in the beauty of truth. Always have," the post reads. "Our truth is that in this season of our lives, we are better friends than partners in marriage. Our union was such a gorgeous ride. And as we go our separate ways now, we feel fortunate for the love we share — present tense."
Over-the-top wedding
"Property Brothers" fixture J.D. Scott — the brother of stars Jonathan and Drew Scott — married Annalee Belle on Halloween in a vintage movie theater-themed wedding. The nuptials, which took place at a private Las Vegas home, included a '50s candy shoppe, absinthe fountain lounge, photo trailer, concession stands and synchronized swimmers, People magazine reported. About 180 guests looked on as the bride entered on a Belgian horse named Zena.
