For months now, there have been whispers online that Florence Pugh had a falling out with Olivia Wilde after the mother of two directed the "Black Widow" actress — and Harry Styles — in the upcoming thriller "Don't Worry Darling." On July 30, Page Six shed some light on what allegedly went wrong between the two women: Florence reportedly took issue with Olivia falling for Harry while the "House" alum was still involved with then-fiancé Jason Sudeikis. "I can tell you for a fact that Flo seeing Olivia and Harry all over each other on set did not go down well as Olivia was still with Jason when she first hooked up with Harry," said a source, adding that the "Ted Lasso" star and the two kids he shares with Olivia visited her on set "at the beginning a few times." The apparent love triangle "made people feel a little uncomfortable," said the insider. The Florence-Olivia feud rumors first kicked off when fans noticed that the younger actress appeared to be ignoring "Don't Worry Darling" on social media: Florence has not promoted the film on her own social media platforms or liked any of Olivia's posts promoting the project, though she has shared promotional material regarding "Oppenheimer" — a different movie in which the Oscar-nominated "Little Women" star is set to appear. A second Page Six source, however, insisted that Florence's decision to promote "Oppenheimer" over "Don't Worry Darling" had "nothing to do with a response to Olivia." Various anonymous sources have also alleged to Deux Moi that Florence and Harry were more than friendly co-stars when he started seeing Olivia, who also appears in "Don't Worry Darling," though those claims have not been confirmed by any major media outlets.

On Aug. 1, E! News reported that, according to a source, Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson were "still going strong" and "making it work" as they were forced to spend some time apart while the "Saturday Night Live" alum shoots "Wizards!" in Australia. "The distance hasn't been an issue for Kim and Pete's relationship while he's been away filming," said the source, adding that the couple of nearly a year were "in constant communication." They reportedly chatted on FaceTime "consistently" and were "always getting quick phone calls in when they can." Noted the insider, "Kim loves that he's always making her laugh and he truly makes her day when they talk. She is still smitten over him and it just works for her." The source also noted that Pete planned to visit Kim in Los Angeles after he wraps "Wizards!" But just four days later, multiple media outlets reported that the comedian and the reality star called it quits. According to a second E! News source, they have "a lot of love and respect for each other" but ultimately realized that their busy schedules "made it really difficult to maintain a relationship." Added a Page Six source, "Pete knew it wasn't going to work. He'd been saying it for a while, and Kim knew it too. The distance was a big thing, and next month Pete starts shooting his new show in NYC and he's going to be busy with that." A second source told Page Six of the New York-based funnyman and the Los Angeles-based mother of four, "They're both bummed it didn't work out."

On July 30 — just three months after Ne-Yo and Crystal Renay Smith got remarried in Las Vegas after romantically reconciling following a brief 2020 split — she took to Instagram to publicly accuse him of serially cheating on her over the course of their eight-year relationship. (They first wed in 2016.) "8 years of lies and deception. 8 years of unknowingly sharing my life and husband with numerous women who sell their bodies to him unprotected… every last one of them! To say I'm heartbroken and disgusted is an understatement. To ask me to stay and accept it is absolutely insane. The mentality of a narcissist. I will no longer lie to the public or pretend that this is something it isn't. I choose me, I choose my happiness and health and my respect. I gained 3 beautiful children out of this [and] nothing else but wasted years and heartache. I ask that you all please stop sending me videos or information of him cheating because what he does is no longer my concern. I am not a victim. I'm choosing to stand tall with my head held high. If someone can't love you the way you deserve, then it's up to you to love yourself. With no hate in my heart, I wish him nothing but the best," she wrote. The three-time Grammy winner later responded on Twitter, writing, "For the sake of our children, my family and I will work through our challenges behind closed doors." Then on Aug. 4, it got worse: TMZ reported that Crystal filed for divorce earlier in the week and accused Ne-Yo of recently fathering a child with another woman.

He added that they "want to continue to inspire each other, to build a family together, stay mindful and encouraging always, and to keep laughing through it all." The bride-to-be, meanwhile, gushed of the engagement, "I couldn't have asked for the moment to have been more perfect. All that was going through my brain was, 'Wait, is this actually happening right now? Is he proposing?' I was also just really focused on what he was saying to me because I was trying desperately to etch the words into my brain. They were so beautiful, I really wanted to soak it in. … The fact that he had been planning this for months, designed the ring and coordinated everything so seamlessly without me knowing was just blowing my mind. It was such a pinch-me moment. … I'm about to spend the rest of my life with my favorite person and my best friend — what is there to not look forward to? Family has always been such an important part of my life and the idea of expanding it and starting our own family together with the man of my dreams just fills my heart."

Are congratulations in order? It depends on who you ask! On Aug. 2, Hollywood Unlocked founder Jason Lee claimed that Wendy Williams recently told him she secretly married an NYPD officer named Henry. "She says, 'I'm married.' I'm like, 'What?'

But Wendy later doubled down on her marriage claims, telling Hollywood Unlocked, "I'm married! I don't care who knows it."

On July 24, Deux Moi published a photo of Jennifer Hudson and Common — who are set to co-star in the upcoming action-thriller "Breathe" — sharing a laugh during an intimate, dressed-down dinner in Philadelphia sometime in recent weeks. The hangout prompted questions about the nature of their relationship. According to a spy, the Oscar-winning actress was "cozy and flirty" with the rapper-actor and there was "lots and cuddling and giggling" between them. (J.Hud and Common, by the way, have known each other for years: They're pictured together in 2014 and have been photographed together several times over the years.) Common and Tiffany Haddish called it quits in late 2021 following about a year of coupledom. Jennifer, meanwhile, hasn't dated anyone publicly since she and her partner of nearly a decade, David Otunga, called it quits in late 2017.

On Aug. 3, Page Six reported that, according to a source, Emily Ratajkowski's estranged husband, Sebastian Bear-McClard, is "begging her to give him another chance" after she caught him cheating, but a romantic reconciliation is "not going to happen" because "she did her own digging and discovered even more s*** he did behind her back." Said a second Page Six source of the breakup, "What they had is really special. … I know they're both reeling. It's so sad. … They're both different and they came together and it just worked. Everyone was really excited for them, they got married so fast, but they made sense. I think people didn't think Sebastian was good enough for Emily, but she understood [him]." In the wake of the breakup, the model's social media activity seems to indicate that the film producer did, in fact, stray from the marriage: She's liked several tweets about Sebastian cheating on her and her subsequent plans to divorce him.
