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 this week, starting with this new pairing! Days after it was announced that Halle Berry was joining the third installment of Keanu Reeves' "John Wick" action franchise, the actress was spotted visiting the New York City set of the film and chatting with Keanu late-night on May 23 before jetting out of town the next day. A week later, Life & Style magazine reported that the gorgeous actors are more than co-stars. "Halle and Keanu are dating," an insider told the mag as part of a May 30 report. "They started seeing each other even before they began filming. As soon as they started getting to know each other, they realized there was something there that was stronger than a friendship." According to the mag, "Keanu is totally Halle's type. She likes that he's very mysterious, introspective and down-to-earth. He's not about the whole Hollywood spotlight thing. She finds that very attractive — and, of course, she thinks he's super-handsome." Hours after the report first surfaced, GossipCop debunked it after checking in with a source close to Halle, who said the Oscar winner and the "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" star are not dating.

Winter's not the only thing that's coming! "Game of Thrones" stars Kit Harrington and Rose Leslie's wedding is also on its way. On May 25, the BBC reported that the actors, who announced their engagement in September 2017, will marry on June 23 in the bride's native Scotland, according to a public posting at the Huntly registration office in Aberdeenshire. Though it's unclear where they'll tie the knot, the BBC noted that Rose's father, councillor Sebastian Leslie, owns a castle in his West Garioch constituency.

Nick Jonas is a busy guy. Just days after the former boybander went on a May 21 dinner date with singer Bebe Rexha and slid into newly single Jenna Dewan's Instagram comments after seeing her at the Billboard Music Awards, Us Weekly reported that he's romantically involved with "Quantico" star (and Meghan Markle's close friend) Priyanka Chopra. "They are dating and it's brand new," a source told Us as part of a May 29 report. "It's a good match and they are both interested in each other." The news comes after the pair were spotted spending time together over Memorial Day Weekend — first at the "Beauty and the Beast Live" concert at the Hollywood Bowl on May 25 then at a Dodgers game on May 26. They also went on an ocean boat ride with pals including Glen Powell, Wilmer Valderrama, Chord Overstreet and Jack McBrayer, E! News reported. Nick, 25 — who's a decade younger than Priyanka — has known her for a while, as he joined her on the red carpet at the 2017 Met Gala where they both wore designs by Ralph Lauren. He certainly has a thing for older women, having previously dated Australian singer Delta Goodrem (who's more than seven years his senior) and Kate Hudson (who's more than 13 years his senior).

Page Six reported on May 29 that after cooling things down with Blake Griffin earlier this year, Kendall Jenner has moved on to another NBA star: Philadelphia 76ers player Ben Simmons. An insider told the New York Post's gossip column that the model and the Australian-American athlete — who was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 NBA draft — have been romancing one another "for a few weeks." Another source told Page Six the pair were spotted on a lunch date at the Beverly Hills Hotel this week while yet another source said the two hit Manhattan restaurant Vandal with a group of friends last week. They were also spotted hitting up celebrity hotspot The Nice Guy in West Hollywood on May 30. The news comes just days after MTONews.com revealed on May 25 that Ben just split from another celeb, pop-R&B singer Tinashe. Funnily enough, a source close to Ben told the site the athlete dumped Tinashe because she was "doing Kardashian s—" like calling paparazzi and drawing attention to their romance. But after getting wind of the report, Tinashe's brother, Kudzai Kachingwe, took to Twitter to defend his sibling, "Days after you break my sis heart u do this… people all lied on her talking fake news about my sis * doing Kardashian s— * u cheat on her with a Jenner," he wrote in a since-deleted tweet.
Emma Watson and Chord Overstreet have broken up after several months of dating, The Sun and People magazine confirmed in late May. On May 28, The Sun's Bizarre column published a story quoting a source who explained, "things just haven't worked out between them and they are both now single again." The Sun also noted that the actors unfollowed one another on Instagram. The next day, an insider told People, "It was never going to be a long-term thing." Emma and Chord were first linked in February when they were seen chatting at a concert in West Hollywood and they went public in March days after they were spotted leaving the Vanity Fair Oscar party together.
Four months after reports revealed he'd split from Minka Kelly, "Grey's Anatomy" star Jesse Williams is dating SportsNet New York anchor Taylor Rooks, Page Six reported on May 30. "They are eager to keep their romance under wraps. He's been going through a difficult divorce [with Aryn Drake-Lee], but he's found solace with Taylor," an insider told Page Six. Jesse and Taylor "slipped into Atlantic City for 24 hours" on May 26, a source told the New York Post's gossip column. There, they took in Kevin Hart's comedy show at Boardwalk Hall.
"Four Weddings and a Funeral" star Hugh Grant celebrated his own wedding on May 25 at the Chelsea registry office near his West London home. He married Swedish TV producer Anna Ebertein in a low-key ceremony — he wore a simple blue suit while the bride wore a fitted blue button-down shirt and white miniskirt with espadrilles — attended by a small group of family and friends, The Telegraph reported. Two days later, the pair, who have three kids together, stepped out looking happy and in love at the Formula One Grand Prix races in Monte Carlo, Monaco.
"Harry Potter" franchise alum Matthew Lewis — aka Neville Longbottom — married Angela Jones in Italy over Memorial Day weekend. He announced their happy news on social media on May 28 and shared a gorgeous wedding photo. The pair got engaged in December 2016 after reportedly meeting earlier that year at, crazily enough, an event at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Florida's Universal Studios, where Angela worked as an event planner.
Back in February, Alicia Silverstone and Christopher Jarecki announced that they were splitting after 13 years of marriage and two decades as a couple. On May 25, she filed for divorce, The Blast reported. Her filing reveals that the couple actually split two years ago, as the "Clueless" alum listed their date of separation as March 15, 2016. She cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the divorce and is asking a judge for joint legal and physical custody of son Bear, 7. The documents also reveal, the Blast reported, that Alicia and the musician have a prenup in place that should dictate spousal support, and that they will divide community property after an evaluation of assets and debt.
Fans of the new Netflix original movie "The Kissing Booth," which was released in mid-May, got a treat this week as word spread that its young stars, American actress Joey King and Australian actor Jacob Elordi, are actually dating in real life. They met on the film's set in 2017 and soon fell for one another, she told Bello magazine. "Was it love at first sight? Well, I thought he was very cute when we first met, but it started as a friendship. Right away we were talking about gross things with each other," she said with a laugh. "But before long I started to realize, 'Hey, I think I kind of like this person!' It was such an interesting experience meeting your boyfriend on-set because you spend so much time together and become so close so fast. We were spending 17 hours a day together, and all of us would hang out after work and watch movies together and stuff. It was great." They're still together now and are adorably all over one another's social media feeds.
A year and a half after Mariah Carey split from Australian billionaire fiance James Packer, she's sold the 35-carat emerald-cut diamond engagement ring he gave her in January 2016, Page Six reported on May 27. "Mariah has been very vocal recently about her choice to move forward in her life surrounded by positivity," her publicist told the New York Post's gossip column. "That requires leaving emotional and material baggage behind, including an old engagement ring from an ex-boyfriend." According to Page Six, Mariah had kept the ring as part of a financial settlement she struck with James in the wake of their messy breakup. Though the ring was described as being worth $10 million when they got engaged, it's actually worth far less. Page Six reported that Mariah's business manager sold the gorgeous bauble to a Los Angeles jeweler for a not-insignificant $2.1 million.
Kit Harington and Rose Leslie aren't the only stars tying the knot in the coming weeks. Comedy star Keegan-Michael Key reveals he's marrying producer Elisa Pugliese in June. "So I'm getting married in nine days in my home. My fiancée is the most wonderful and passionate and sensible woman at the same time," he told Us Weekly on May 29. "Why would we get married in any place else if we love our home? Let's have a reception upstairs and then we're having a party the next day. A big party. So very intimate wedding, very big party."
Two decades of wedded bliss! On May 29, Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber took to Instagram to celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary. "20 years ago today walking down the 'aisle.' @RandeGerber, I couldn't have chosen a better man to do this thing called life with. I love you!" Cindy captioned a wedding photo of them walking down a set of outdoor stairs. Model-turned-businessman Rande wrote alongside a vintage photo of them at the beach, "20 years ago today, 2 amazing kids and this beautiful girl with her arms always holding on tight. Thank you for our life."

The athlete and the "17 Again" and "The Mentalist" alum's guest list included celebrity pals Nick and Vanessa Lachey. Nick even hopped on stage to sing Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" with the wedding band at the reception. "I can't begin to describe all the feels this past weekend as I got to marry the love of my life," Matt wrote on Instagram alongside several wedding photos a few days later. "There was so much joy and happiness. We laughed (a lot), we cried (a lot) and we drank (a lot). Thank you to all our family and friends for making this weekend perfect."

Early in the month, Khloe Kardashian stepped out publicly on multiple occasions with her baby daddy, sending fans a message that was received loud and clear: Despite April's humiliating cheating scandal, she was standing by her man, Cleveland Cavaliers player Tristan Thompson. But by the end of May, reports revealed that their relationship has, according to People magazine, become a lot more challenging. "She has good days and bad days with Tristan. They had a very calm relationship before those videos and pictures were released. Now their relationship has changed," a source told the magazine as part of a May 28 report. Khloe has been keeping the NBA player "on a tight leash," the source added. "She thinks it's up to him to prove himself that he can be a great partner and dad. She's definitely more needy and in his face now. This has been causing some conflicts." A few days earlier on May 25, Us Weekly quoted a source close to Khloe who said there's been a lot of tension at the pair's Cleveland home in recent days: "Khloe and Tristan are fighting constantly. All the time. She doesn't know how she's going to rebuild trust in him."
It seems any woman who spends time with Justin Theroux in the wake of his split from Jennifer Aniston late last year will be branded a potential love interest. The latest young beauty to be linked to the 46-year-old actor and screenwriter — following claims he could be getting close to Emma Stone, Selena Gomez, artist-model Petra Collins, Aubrey Plaza and model Erika Cardenas — is "Spider-Man: Homecoming" and "BlacKkKlansman"actress Laura Harrier. Justin and Laura were photographed on May 26 swimming in the ocean together in the South of France (PopSugar has the pics), where they and other stars attended the Louis Vuitton Cruise 2019 fashion show on May 28. But on May 29, Justin and "Maniac" co-star Emma (in April, he said they were "JUST bfffffs") raised eyebrows when they were photographed relaxing — he was shirtless, she was in a red one-piece and tan pants — on the patio of a small house in the French village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, PopSugar reported. The next day, several of Justin's pals — including Emma, Laura , Sienna Miller and "CNN Style" host Derek Blasberg — all donned swimsuits and took a dip in the Mediterranean together, DailyMail.com revealed.
German tennis star Boris Becker, a three-time Wimbledon winner in the '80s, and second wife Lilly, a former model, have amicably separated after nine years of marriage and one son together, German news agency DPA reported on May 29. "The decision after a 13-year-long relationship and nine years of marriage wasn't an easy one," a lawyer for the couple told DPA.
Rapper Nicki Minaj had the internet convinced that she and Eminem were a couple after she told an inquisitive fan "yes" when she was asked in the comments section of a May 24 Instagram post if she was dating the Detroit music star (she raps about Em in a verse on YG's song "Big Bank" and posted about it). But the next day, it was revealed that she was just messing around. Still, that didn't stop either of the chart-topping rappers from continuing to talk about their joke romance — and make fans wish the reports were true. During his performance at the Boston Calling Music Festival on May 27, Eminem asked the crowd, "How many people in Boston want me to date Nicki Minaj?" The crowd cheered, which led the rapper to tell them, "Well, g–dammit, me too." He also said from the stage, "Nicki, if you get this message, just text me later, we'll talk about it." Nicki saw a clip of his comments and tweeted, "LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. The fact that he's silly & a goof just like me. Love him so much." Then she joked about their first date. "Em we need you on the #Queen album. That's where our 1st date will be; at the studio while I gaze into ur beautiful eyes as u write ur verse."
Remember the Old Spice guy, Isaiah Mustafa? The actor, who's now known for starring on "Shadowhunters," married publicist Lisa Mitchell at Camp Lucy in Austin, Texas, on May 26, two years after they met at the 2016 WonderCon convention, People magazine reported. The bride donned a Monique Lhuillier dress while the groom– who was walked down the aisle by his teenage daughter, Haley — wore a custom tux by Elevee. Isaiah captioned an Instagram slideshow of wedding photos, "Best Weekend Ever."
Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson are now Instagram official! The "Saturday Night Live" star posted his first photo with his new girlfriend on social media on May 30 just a few weeks after headlines revealed they were dating. In the snapshot, they're both wearing Harry Potter robes and sweatshirts with their Hogwarts house names. (He's a Gryffindor and she's a Slytherin, in case you were wondering.) "The chamber of secrets has been opened," Pete cheekily captioned the cute pic.
Though model Hailey Baldwin and music star Shawn Mendes have been spending time together for months and even attended the Met Gala together in early May looking very much like a couple, she claims she's single. In an interview with Britain's The Times published on May 27 (via E! News), Hailey claimed, "We hang out and he's super-lovely and a very, very nice young gentleman. But I am single." She also said it was hard to date even though there are some good guys out there. "The dating pool is small. It's rare to find somebody that has the same ideas and morals as me. I have found people like that before, though, which is refreshing." Hailey also opened up about how strange things got after she split from another pop star, Justin Bieber. "Justin and I were friends for a long time. I met him when I was really young and he was one of my best friends. Everybody knows that at a certain point in time that turned into something else, but that just happens when you're 18, 19. It was what it was. We went through a long period of time when we weren't friends. We didn't speak for quite some time and there was a lot of weirdness that went on. We've moved past that," she told The Times, adding that they're now friends and "cherish" one another. "Now, it's a very mature situation. It's good."
No, Tommy Lee and fiancée Brittany Furlan did not get married on May 27. They just trolled fans hard and tried to make people think they did. The speculation started, Us Weekly reported, after the rocker posted an Instagram photo of himself and Brittany kissing in front of a white outdoor wedding canopy while wearing matching robes and slippers at the Beverly Hills Hotel. "Did it, I do A LOT," he captioned the pic, which Brittany also posted along with the caption, "BEST.DAY.EVER." They later admitted they were faking it: Brittany edited her caption to add the words "(to take a photo in front of someone's leftover wedding altar)" and told fans on her Instagram Story that it was all in jest. "Me and Tommy didn't get married. It was just a joke," she explained. "We're not getting married till Feb. 14 of next year. But we are still getting married in bathrobes next year. Yeah, so everyone has to wear bathrobes to our wedding 'cause that's how we roll."
After the internet started buzzing with rumors that Amber Rose and ex-husband Wiz Khalifa had reconciled, she took to her Instagram Story to shoot them down on May 24. "My son's father and I really became great friends after our divorce," she said. "We do not have a romantic relationship nor are we trying to. We are very happy coparenting and giving [our son] Sebastian the best life possible."
