On Nov. 14, DailyMailTV published a lengthy report detailing Stephen Baldwin's alleged two-year affair with professional masseuse Ruth Perez Anselmi. The report included incriminating photos and videos of the pair together, screen shots of their purported text message exchanges and an interview with one of Ruth's friends. The following day, the British tabloid published an interview with Ruth herself in which she confirms her relationship with the "Bio-Dome" star, who's been married to wife Kenya Baldwin for 28 years. When a videographer confronted Stephen about the alleged affair, he didn't exactly deny anything, instead firing back, "You are out of your mind, brother. … You guys are just crazy. … Why do you guys do these sick things?"
Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson's breakup played out in public throughout early November. First, the funnyman seemingly made light of their split (and revealed that he'd previously proposed to ex-girlfriend Cazzie David) in a promo for "Saturday Night Live" that dropped on Nov. 1, infuriating the singer and prompting her to tweet, "for somebody who claims to hate relevancy u sure love clinging to it huh." Two days later, she dropped her latest banger, "Thank U, Next," in which she favorably addresses Pete, as well as former loves Big Sean, the late Mac Miller and backup dancer Ricky Alvarez. The comedian reportedly caught wind of the song, which moved him to say a few kind words about his ex-fiancée on the Nov. 3 episode of "Saturday Night Live." Said Pete during the "Weekend Update" segment, "I know some of you are curious about the breakup, but the truth is, it's nobody's business and sometimes things just don't work out and that's OK. She's a wonderful, strong person and I genuinely wish her all the happiness in the world." It's been all quiet since then — and "Thank U, Next" went on to enter the charts at No. 1.
Chrissy Metz, 38, said back in October that there's a new man in her life. On Nov. 13, Us Weekly identified him as 25-year-old percussionist Hal Rosenfeld. They've reportedly been dating for a few months.
On Nov. 18, The Sun revealed that Princess Beatrice is dating 34-year-old property developer Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi (pictured in 2013).

Kate Beckinsale, 45, was seen packing on the PDA with 30-year-old comedian Jack Whitehall, who previously romanced Gemma Chan, during a night out on the town in West Hollywood on Nov. 3.

Page Six reported in early November that Kendall Jenner and Ben Simmons are giving it another go after their romance of just a few months fizzled in late August. Three days after the model and the basketball star were seen partying together at a bowling alley in Philadelphia, Kendall was photographed watching her off-and-on beau's basketball team take on the Nets from a suite at Brooklyn's Barclays Center.
In early November, multiple media outlets reported that Khloe Kardashian is still conflicted over her relationship with Tristan Thompson — especially as she's forced to relive his cheating scandal on her reality show, "Keeping Up with the Kardashians." The general consensus was that although she has trust issues and fears that things will never be normal between them, the new mom is unwilling to give him the boot because she wants their daughter to grow up with both parents in her life. Then in mid-November, TMZ reported that the pair were actually doing just fine leading up to the holidays and that the reason the reality star hadn't been in Cleveland, where her beau plays basketball for the Cavaliers, is because she had to shoot "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" in Los Angeles. Khloe then delayed her trip to Ohio to be with her family in Los Angeles as deadly wildfires raged across California, though she and Tristan spent Thanksgiving together at his Cleveland home with their daughter.
Jaden Smith confused fans by calling Tyler, the Creator his "boyfriend" while performing at the Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival in Los Angeles on Nov. 11. The "Yonkers" rapper appeared to deny the "After Earth" actor's claim, but a few days later, Jaden doubled down during a Nov. 16 appearance on Apple Music's Beats 1 Radio. "I recently said that Tyler, the Creator is my boyfriend, and that's true. So, just so you know," he said. (Earlier in the week, a People magazine source said that the "Icon" rapper was just "trolling" his pal.) Jaden also revealed that one of his new songs, "Fallen Part 2," is about his ex-girlfriend, Odessa Adlon. "I did really f— up in my relationship with Odessa, and this song is kind of like me being like, 'Yo, I'm sorry,' because I am sorry, and I've already said sorry to her a million times, but this is me saying sorry to her again," he said. "That's what this song is. It's kind of sad, high key. I made this in Hawaii, and I was sad."

The following day, the reality star accompanied the country crooner to the CMA Awards (pictured).

In early November, Halsey and John Mayer made headlines for their flirty social media exchanges, prompting rumors they're more than friends.

After 21 years of marriage and four children together, Larsa Pipped filed to divorce Scottie Pippen in Los Angeles on Nov. 2. It's not the first time the longtime couple have come close to calling it quits. The basketball legend filed for divorce in October 2016, but by September 2017, it appeared as though he and Larsa had reconciled, and then last November, they called off the divorce.

On Nov. 6, DailyMailTV published an interview with model Justyna Monde in which she alleges that she had an affair with Mohamed Hadid — the father of models Gigi Hadid, Bella Hadid and Anwar Hadid — between 2014 and 2017, even though the real estate mogul has been engaged to another model, Shiva Safai, since 2013. Justyna claims that she started seeing Mohamed after he slid into her DMs on Instagram in September 2014 and that she didn't know he was engaged to another woman. According to the 25 year old, Mohamed asked her to be his girlfriend but she said no because she was also engaged to someone else. She allegedly called things off with him when she moved to New York to become a social media influencer because she "didn't want to hurt anybody anymore."
