Multiple media outlets reported on Oct. 10 that Channing Tatum and Jessie J have been seeing each other for a couple months.

TMZ sources said that Ariana has been "an emotional wreck" and in "an incredibly dark place" since the rapper died, and that's when she realized "she couldn't be fully invested in her relationship with Pete" and that they'd "rushed into a looming marriage way too fast by getting engaged."
People magazine reported on Oct. 23 that Khloe Kardashian's troubled relationship with Tristan Thompson may be nearing its end. "She very much seems over Tristan," said a source.

[Her daughter] True, of course, makes her the happiest." Earlier this month, there was some confusion about whether or not the new mom would join her beau in Cleveland, where he plays for the Cavaliers. Ultimately, she decided to stay in Los Angeles. "It doesn't seem to bother her that she isn't with Tristan in Cleveland," said the People source. "She seems to know what she wants in her life right now. And it definitely doesn't seem like she wants to be with Tristan." Earlier in the month, multiple media outlets reported that the reality star was struggling with lingering trust issues stemming from her beau's cheating scandal. At the end of the month on Oct. 28, more confusion: Tristan, who was in Cleveland, surprised Khloe with balloons that spelled out "welcome home" in her Calabasas, California, living room upon her return from a family vacation in Bali.

On the Oct. 22 episode of her Facebook series, "Red Table Talk," Jada Pinkett Smith claimed that she once dated Alfonso Ribeiro, Will Smith's former "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" co-star and longtime friend — who quickly took to Twitter to insist she was mistaken. That wasn't the only part of the webisode — during which Jada and Will opened up about many aspects of their relationship — that made headlines. Here are some of the biggest takeaways… Will revealed that he first saw Jada on TV and asked Alfonso to set them up, but the same night they were scheduled to meet, he met his first wife, Sheree Zampino. It wasn't until after he married Sheree that Will and Jada connected as friends. The "Independence Day" actor eventually realized he was supposed to be with the "Girls Trip" star, but he was still married and wasn't willing to divorce Sheree until she told him she didn't love him anymore. Will and Jada reconnected as soon as he signed his divorce papers. Not long after that, they got pregnant with son Jaden Smith and tied the knot — even though Jada never wanted to get married. Their wedding day, they agreed, was "horrible" because of Jada's intense morning sickness and even stronger resistance to the idea of marriage. The duo then opened up about a rough patch in their marriage around the time the actress turned 40 in 2011.
