Wonderwall.com is taking a look back at the celebrities who've ignited romances, taken them one step further, been devastated by heartbreak and everything in between for early to mid July 2021, starting with these two music stars… Adele and rapper Skepta were first linked in October 2019, though there wasn't much evidence they were actually dating at the time. But now they've since given fans some new clues. On July 11, Page Six reported that the "Rolling in the Deep" singer and the grime emcee were seen shopping at a discount Prada outlet store just outside San Bernardino, California. "She was sitting watching him while he was picking sweaters, pants, trying on jackets and coats and having the employees help him. She was giving him feedback and saying what she thought he looked great in," a source said. "It was cute that [she was] just waiting and being a normal girlfriend while he looked. He must have shopped for 45 minutes." Last October, Adele called herself a "(single) cat lady," but this outing, fans think, implies otherwise.

Angelina Jolie and The Weeknd (real name: Abel Tesfaye) are keeping people guessing. They were seen at the same place for the second week in a row, sparking more speculation about the nature of their acquaintance — is it friendship or romance? On June 30, they were seen leaving Santa Monica, California, restaurant Giorgio Baldi after an allegedly "hours-long" hangout. Then on July 9, multiple outlets reported that both were spotted at artist Mustafa The Poet's intimate concert at Goya Studios in Los Angeles, which Angelina attended with two of her children. Mustafa hails from Toronto, just like the "Blinding Lights" hitmaker.

It's been a pretty big week for Jason Sudeikis. Not only did his series "Ted Lasso" make Emmy history with 20 nominations, but he made headlines on the same day after opening up about his split from Olivia Wilde for the first time. "I'll have a better understanding of why in a year, and an even better one in two, and an even greater one in five," the "Saturday Night Live" alum, who shares two kids with his former fiancé, told GQ in its August cover story, which hit the internet on July 13. "And it'll go from being, you know, a book of my life to becoming a chapter to a paragraph to a line to a word to a doodle." He said of the split, "That's an experience that you either learn from or make excuses about… You take some responsibility for it, hold yourself accountable for what you do, but then also endeavor to learn something beyond the obvious from it." Though a source close to the couple previously told People magazine the pair called it quits "at the beginning of [2020]," Jason told GQ they broke up "in November 2020." Several weeks later, Olivia had moved on with Harry Styles, whom she was directing in the upcoming film "Don't Worry Darling."

On July 12, Kourtney Kardashian's hairstylist Glen Coco took to Instagram to share photos of the reality star and her rocker boyfriend, blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, during a trip to Sin City, captioning it, "…NOWWW I understand why ppl tie the knot in Vegas 💒🥲🖤 There's nothing like love AND a good time 🥳." In the photos, Travis is seen covering up Kourtney's ring finger with his hand. Social media was further frenzied after Travis's daughter Alabama shared one of the photos on her Instagram Story, adding, "so happy for you guys." (The photos eventually made their way onto Kourtney's Instagram Story as well — though she didn't disclose any details.) However, on July 13, a report from The Sun seemed to dispel any Vegas wedding rumors. "Kourtney and Travis never filed for a marriage license here," a source at the Marriage License Bureau in Clark County, Nevada, told the outlet. "They would have had to have come into this office in person and we would have noticed them." That being said, fans weren't convinced a wedding or possibly and engagement had taken place, especially after Kourtney posted a pic on her Instagram Story on July 13 showing a vase filled with a dozen white roses, a gift from sister Khloe Kardashian she captioned, "omg came home to this."

Looks like Bella Hadid has been in a relationship far longer than anyone knew! While she and boyfriend Marc Kalman — an art director who's worked with rapper Travis Scott — only went public with their romance in early July, according to Page Six, the pair have been secretly dating since July 2020 and have managed to keep things low key throughout the pandemic. "They hid it well," a source told the outlet. "If they went out, he would come out first, get the car, and then she would get into the car. They would drive to a location, and he'd drop her off but not get out and go park the car." The supermodel made their relationship Instagram official with a July 8 photo of them kissing in France.

Kanye West and Irina Shayk made headlines in June when reports revealed they were casually dating, but a new report claims they're cooling off. "She likes him as a friend, but doesn't want a relationship with him," a source told Page Six on July 13 after the model and mother of one allegedly turned down Ye's request to attend a couture show with him in Paris. "She doesn't want the association that they are dating, which is what would have run in the press if she showed up [in Paris with him]," the source continued. "It would have been another month of news saying that they are dating." They were first spotted together in Provence, France, where Kanye was celebrating his 44th birthday in June, but the source claims Irina only "went to his birthday party as a friend" and there "were 50 other people there."

Bachelor Nation's Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell are working hard to repair their relationship. On July 10, the pair made their red carpet debut at the ESPY Awards, where they told People correspondent Sandra Vergara about their relationship and the criticism they've endured because of it. "I will say that, you know, of course it was difficult in the moment, but just being able to step back and work on our relationship to assess," said Rachael, who was previously put on blast for past acts of racism. "Taking a moment away from the spotlight's been really good for us. It's been a lot better."

The pair were previously seen together at a Sierra Canyon High School basketball game watching her son Amari, a top high school prospect who's committed to UCLA, and NBA star LeBron James's son Bronny playing.

The pair revealed their plan to co-parent their seven children during an Instagram Live on July 12. Braunwyn will reportedly take the kids to Hawaii for approximately two months, while Sean will rent a home in Newport Beach, California (which happens to be owned by a friend of Fernanda Rocha, Braunwyn's new girlfriend and a fellow "RHOC" alum). "We are packing up this house, the one we filmed in last year, and we are moving," said Braunwyn. "We have decided jointly that we are going to take a few months apart." She continued, "We really want to do what's best for us — we are family, we've been together for 26 years… That's a lot and that's something we don't want to minimize — we want to honor that. I think having some space right now will give us some clarity."
