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 late August 2022, starting with this news… A week after "Vanderpump Rules" stars Scheana Shay and Brock Davies married in Cancun, Mexico, Page Six reported that the beauty's new husband upgraded her engagement ring when they tied the knot. When Brock proposed in 2021, he gave Scheana a 12.74-carat rectangular cushion-cut rare fancy pink morganite ring set on a 14-karat white gold band studded with 12 diamonds, designed by Kyle Chan (see it here). The pick was polarizing, with many fans on social media criticizing his choice or morganite over a diamond, which Scheana defended. "It's still 12.74 carats. Why does it matter what stone?" she tweeted, also telling one fan, "I didn't want a Diamond. Morganites are beautiful and have so much meaning." But at their wedding, Brock presented her with an upgraded engagement ring designed by Ring Come True — a 4-carat emerald-cut diamond solitaire set on a thin band set with more diamonds, the jeweler shared on Instagram along with images of Scheana's new bling.

Nearly two weeks after former model Jennifer Flavin filed to divorce movie star Sylvester Stallone after 25 years of marriage, People magazine is shedding some light on what caused the split. They "are very different people, age-wise and in temperament," said a Hollywood insider who's spent time with the couple, who have a nearly 22-year age difference. "What was once exciting and challenging is now routine and irritating." According to the insider, "disagreements on little things add up after so many years together." A Flavin source told the magazine that Sly can be impetuous, which caused problems. "He tends to do things on a whim without asking her before," that source explained. The "Rocky" star previously denied to TMZ that reports claiming he and Jennifer broke up because he got a new dog — a Rottweiler named Dwight — against her wishes was not true. Though they didn't see eye to eye over the animal's care, Sly admitted, "We did not end the relationship on such a trivial argument," he said. "We just went in different directions. I have the highest respect for Jennifer. I will always love her. She's an amazing woman. She's the nicest human being I've ever met."

On Aug. 30 — after a summer of speculation about the status of their relationship — People magazine reported that sources confirmed that Leonardo DiCaprio and model-actress Camila Morrone, who's 23 years his junior, have split. The pair were first romantically linked nearly five years ago in December 2017. The Oscar winner has a history of only dating women 25 and under — and Camila hit that age in June. Meanwhile, Instagram gossip account Deux Moi has been posting speculation, which has also been discussed on her podcast, that Leo's been quietly spending time with beautiful blonde model Gigi Hadid who's — gasp! — 27 and also a single mom, though those rumors are unconfirmed. E! News also reported that Leo was spotted aboard a yacht in St-Tropez on July 18 accompanied by friends — and Ukrainian model Maria Beregova, whom DailyMail.com reported was newly single after splitting from her husband, Ahmed Masoud Abdelhafid, whose grandfather was an interior minister and loyalist to late Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi.

Former "The Real Housewives of Orange County" star Braunwyn Windham-Burke is dating a new woman following her July split from her girlfriend of about nine months, Victoria Brito. Braunwyn took to her Instagram Stories on Aug. 31 to share videos and photos of herself vacationing in Dorado, Puerto Rico, with Jennifer Spinner (see her here). "I like her, we laugh a lot, it's good," the mother of seven, who came out as a lesbian in late 2020, captioned one clip. Jennifer captioned a post on her own Instagram Story, "Here's to new chapters and a lot more cheesy posts." The former Bravo star told Us Weekly she and Jennifer met online. "Her brother … is in the same friend group that my ex-girlfriend [Victoria] used to be friends with," she explained, adding that they started DM'ing, learned they shared the same sense of humor and met up the next time Braunwyn was in New York. Jennifer, however, is based in Germany at the moment, so they're just living in the moment and are "not exclusive," Braunwyn told the magazine.

In the wake of Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady's return to team training following a mysterious 11-day absence in August comes news that he and wife Gisele Bundchen are having trouble, Page Six reported on Sept. 1. Citing multiple sources, the New York Posts's gossip column claimed that following a series of what it described as "heated arguments over Brady's shock decision to un-retire from the NFL" — which he announced earlier this year — the supermodel left their family compound in Tampa, Florida, and headed to Costa Rica while Tom stayed behind. "Tom and Gisele are in a fight right now," a source told Page Six. It's happened before, and they've reunited in the past, the source added. According to a second source, "There's been trouble in the marriage over his decision to un-retire. Gisele has always been the one with the kids. They had agreed he would retire to focus on the family, then he changed his mind." Another insider further told Page Six that Tom and Gisele "have a fiery relationship. Gisele is a bit hot-headed — she has that Brazilian heat!" During a Bucs press conference on Aug. 27, Tom was asked about the time he took off and offered a vague explanation. "It's all personal," he said. "Everyone's got different situations they're dealing with. We all have really unique challenges to our life. I'm 45 years old, man. There's a lot of s*** going on. Just gotta try to figure out life the best you can. It's a continuous process."

That was fast! Barely two weeks after "Mad Men" actor Vincent Kartheiser filed to divorce "Gilmore Girls" and "The Handmaid's Tale" actress Alexis Bledel on Aug. 10 in New York following eight years of marriage, a judge has signed off on their split. On Aug. 31, Page Six confirmed that court records showed the order for the divorce was signed on Aug. 26 and the case is now disposed. The couple, who share a son, married in 2014 after meeting on the set of "Mad Men" three years earlier.

In late August, a tipster sent Instagram gossip site Deux Moi a blind item about a secretly engaged celebrity couple that's quite easy to solve — but is it true? "I have it on very good authority that this A-list actor's older brother is dating and engaged to this C-list actress and are planning a secret fall wedding. Album is on hold till A-lister returns to the country for wedding," the item reads. Considering it also mentioned the pseudonyms "Shantana Slammin" and "LetoLovin," it's pretty clear the tipster is referring to 30 Seconds to Mars rocker Shannon Leto, whose new romance with "Salem" and "The Real Bros of Simi Valley" actress Cara Santana was revealed in August 2021 — seven months after she moved on from a 13-year romance with "Desperate Housewives" actor Jesse Metcalfe. The A-list brother the item refers to is, of course, Oscar winner and Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman Jared Leto, who's been vacationing in Europe for much of the summer.

Rachel Bilson clarified comments she previously made about her 2020 split from Bill Hader — back in June, she made headlines for saying it was "probably harder than childbirth" — on the Aug. 31 episode of Alex Cooper's "Call Her Daddy" podcast, suggesting it was taken out of the context. "I did not actually say that. I'm happy you brought that up," Rachel told the host. "I said, obviously, he and I, we're not still together, so we broke up. But it was during a time where you could not leave your house," she explained, thinking back to the early days of the coronavirus pandemic when lockdowns had just begun. "I had to deal with this. I had to deal with being alone and taking care of my kid and everything else," she continued. "Being isolated and not being able to connect with any humans, not being able to help myself. I got into a depression, all of these things. That time having to be forced to face all of your s*** I said was harder than childbirth. Is anything more painful? F*** no. Maybe kidney stones. … All breakups are hard, especially when you're in something that you're really into," the actress concluded. "Things happen, things change. There was a pandemic, yeah so it was a hard time." On the Aug. 15 episode of her own "Broad Ideas" podcast, the former "The O.C." star said that what she misses "the most" about the "Saturday Night Live" alum is his "big" you-know-what. "Let's move on," she said, shutting down the topic after bursting into raucous laughter.

Nobody had this pairing on their bingo card for 2022! The most talked-about couple at the MTV Video Music Awards on Aug. 28? Rapper Yung Gravy (real name: Matthew Hauri), 26, and Sheri Nicole Easterling, 42, who's the mother of TikTok star and actress Addison Rae. During a pre-show interview with MTV, People magazine reported, the "Betty (Get Money)" rapper — who kissed and cuddled the newly single mom 16 years his senior as they posed for photographers on the red carpet — revealed how they got together, explaining, "We met online. … We connected right away. I'm from the furthest north it gets, she's from the furthest south it gets. I'm into MILFs and she's kind of the queen of MILFs, so I figured it was just a perfect match." Their PDA-filled outing comes nearly two months after 25-year-old Renee Ash alleged to Page Six that she had a five-month affair with Addison's 46-year-old father, Monty Lopez, after he "misled" her and "lied" to her about that state of his marriage with Sheri. Renee said she dumped Monty earlier this summer after learning he was allegedly hitting on other young women. Not long later, Sheri updated her Instagram bio to read "single mom," though a source told People magazine that Monty and Sheri — who divorced when Addison was young and remarried in 2017 — had "been separated for a year." After Sheri and Gravy made their debut as a couple at the VMAs, Monty — who in recent weeks posted social media videos challenging Gravy to a boxing match — posted a shirtless photo of himself on his Instagram Story with the message "Thank you @younggravy for taking the leftovers." On Aug. 30, a source close to Yung Gravy told Page Six they think it's a "PR relationship." Addison, meanwhile, is "mortified" by all the recent headlines about her parents, a source told Page Six.

"Game of Thrones" star Jack Gleeson — who played sadistic and villainous King Joffrey Baratheon on the hit HBO series — married actress-comedian Roisin O'Mahony at the Sacred Heart Church in The Glen, Ballinskelligs, in County Kerry, Ireland, on Aug. 27. The priest who performed the ceremony, Father Patsy Lynch, shared three beautiful photos of the bride and groom from the "very simple, prayerful and dignified marriage ceremony" on Twitter two days later. Father Lynch also told the Irish Independent that Jack texted him after the nuptials "to say that it was such a wonderful, moving ceremony and afterwards they went for a meal," and that the couple planned to have a second wedding in England.

Tim Robbins has settled his divorce from Gratiela Brancusi more than two years after they split, The Blast reported on Aug. 27. When the "Shawshank Redemption" star filed to divorce the "1883" actress, who's 30 years his junior, in January 2021, it came as a surprise to fans as it wasn't public knowledge that they were even married. They secretly wed in 2017 and separated in 2020. Details of the divorce settlement are confidential.

Things got weird at Scheana Shay and Brock Davies' Aug. 23 wedding in Cancun, Mexico. On Aug. 26, Us Weekly reported that "Vanderpump Rules" stars Tom Schwartz and Raquel Leviss — who were both in the bridal party — hooked up at the destination wedding. "Apparently there was some heavy drinking involved. They made out," an insider told Us, further sharing that they heard "through the grapevine" that "more happened" between the two. It's an interesting pairing considering both were in serious relationships with other "Vanderpump Rules" stars until recently: Raquel and fiancée James Kennedy split in December 2021, and Tom and wife Katie Maloney announced in March that they're ending their marriage. Katie was in Cancun at the same time but didn't appear to attend the wedding, adding another layer of awkwardness. A source told E! News that Katie and Tom's previously amicable breakup is now full of "tension" because of how close he's getting to Raquel, while a production source told Page Six that Katie is "annoyed because he decided to hook up with a girl in their circle of friends" and is also "mad at Scheana because she believes Scheana is responsible for Raquel and Schwartz hooking up." A second source told Page Six that Katie is the once who "planted the seed" for her ex and Raquel to get together. "She told Scheana, 'They'd be really cute together.' Scheana simply relayed the message later on to Raquel: 'Katie thinks that you and Schwartz would make a really good match and gave her blessing.'" Of course this isn't the first time Tom and Raquel have been accused of hooking up: Back in April, a rumor made the rounds on Twitter claiming that Tom was holding hands and making out with Raquel during Coachella that month, but he shot it down, tweeting, "Guys hate to break it to you but I wasn't at Coachella."

"Total Bellas" star and retired wrestler Nikki Bella and "Dancing With the Stars" pro Artem Chigvintsev married in Paris on Aug. 26, E! News reported three days later. The couple — who've been together for three and half years and have a toddler son, Matteo — will share their wedding story with their fans on an E! special, "Nikki Bella Says I Do," which airs in early 2023. "We said I DO, can't wait to share the entire journey with you all," Nikki wrote on Instagram alongside two wedding teaser photos.

Shia LaBeouf opened up about his relationship with actress Mia Goth in an email he sent to director-actress Olivia Wilde on Aug. 24 amid drama over whether or not she fired him from "Don't Worry Darling" last summer. In the letter, which was made public when Shia shared it with Variety — in it, he says he quit the film (his role went to Harry Styles), while Olivia has publicly implied he was fired — Shia also wrote about his new baby and his efforts to rebuild his relationship with Mia. (The gender and name of Shia's child was not previously known publicly.) "I have a little girl, Isabel; she is five months old and just beginning to develop the last half of her laugh; it's AMAZING," he wrote in one part of the letter, adding, "Mia, my wife & I have found each other again & are journeying toward a healthy family with love and mutual respect." Shia — who got sober a year and a half ago and recently converted to Catholicism — first connected with Mia in 2012 on the set of "Nymphomaniac." They tied the knot in 2016 but parted ways in mid-2018 and reconciled in 2020.

"Summer House" stars Carl Radke and Lindsay Hubbard are engaged, they confirmed to People magazine on Aug. 28. Queens of Bravo was the first to report the news, posting a video taken shortly after Carl popped the question on Aug. 27. The proposal — he gave Lindsay a diamond ring with a 3.5-carat square brilliant cut cushion with two half-moon diamonds on the side — took place at Southhampton's Dune Beach and was captured by Bravo cameras for the reality show's seventh season. Afterward, Carl surprised Lindsay again when he had her family and friends as well as their "Summer House" co-stars waiting for them at one of their favorite places, Dockers Waterside Marina & Restaurant. They met and became friends seven years ago, tried dating three years ago — it didn't work out — then reconnected romantically in October 2021, People reported.

On Aug. 29, country music singers Kelsea Ballerini and Morgan Evans announced they've split and are divorcing after nearly five years of marriage. "Friends, I've always tried my best to share my life with you in a real and vulnerable way, while also protecting layers of my personal life as they unfold," Kelsea wrote on her Instagram Story. "This is now public record so I wanted you to hear from me directly that I am going through a divorce." She filed on Aug. 26 and listed their date of separation as the same day. "This deeply difficult decision is the result of a journey of love, growth, and effort that ultimately has come to an end. It's hard to find the words here … but I feel extremely grateful for the years of marriage to Morgan and hopeful for the next seasons," she continued. "With very active schedules coming up, please be mindful that we are both fragile, actively healing, and showing up the best we can." Morgan also addressed the split, writing on his own Instagram Story, "I am very sad to confirm that after almost 5 years of marriage, Kelsea and I are parting ways. I wish it were otherwise but sadly it is not."

"Dancing With the Stars" pro Cheryl Burke – who filed to divorce actor husband Matthew Lawrence in February — accused an ex of cheating on her in a TikTok video she posted on Aug. 24. "When he said he would never talk to her again yet I found text messages, viagra, and a necklace hidden in a pair of his shoes," she captioned the clip, which was set to Adele singing "the last time" from her hit "When We Were Young." Added Cheryl, "The last time is absolutely right! Goodbye forever…#exessuck #goodbyeforever #hopeitwasworthit." The "Dance Moms" coach didn't specifically call out Matthew, but she's been vocal on her podcast about not having dated anyone else since they called it quits. A source told Page Six, "The post was intentionally not specific. Cheryl has been in abusive relationships in the past, and her reference to an ex could be any one of those subjects."
