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 June and early July 2021, starting with these singers… Demi Lovato and Noah Cyrus sparked a fresh round of romance rumors when they were snapped holding hands at the "Space Jam 2" premiere in the Los Angeles area on June 30. The duo — who collaborated on the track "Easy" for Demi's album "Dancing with the Devil … the Art of Starting Over" — were first linked back in March. At the time, Page Six reported that, according to a source, the pair "have been hanging out" and are now "very close." But another insider called the romance rumors "weird" and insisted Demi and Noah were "not dating." Said the second source, "They have dinner sometimes, but they're not romantic. They got together for this song that sorta came together a bit last minute, and they hang out." It's possible, of course, that things have taken a romantic turn since then…

On June 30, E! News reported that singer-actress Olivia Rodrigo brought producer Adam Faze as her plus-one to the recent premiere of "Space Jam 2," during which she introduced him as her boyfriend. "They were really cute together and weren't trying to hide their affection at all," said a spy, adding that the pair were "holding hands at one point." According to the source, the "Drivers License" hitmaker and Adam "met through industry friends" a few months ago. "It's only been a few months but she seems really happy with him and they are definitely dating exclusively and getting serious," said the insider.
On the June 30 episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," guest host Wanda Sykes revealed that Don Cheadle secretly married his partner of nearly three decades, Bridgid Coulter, sometime late last year. While interviewing the "Avengers" actor, the comedian said, "You texted me at the top of the year, I guess, and you told me that you just got married." Confirmed Don, "[We were] together 28 years before we got married." Back in 2016, there were whispers that he and the interior designer, who share two adult daughters, had quietly tied the knot.
In late June, Addison Rae started spending time with Omer Fedi, sparking rumors they're a couple. On June 19, they were photographed leaving Machine Gun Kelly's Venice Beach rooftop concert in Los Angeles together. Six days later, they were seen chatting at Yungblud's concert in West Hollywood and, according to a Deux Moi spy, "left the venue holding hands." Further fueling romance rumors? The Israeli producer-guitarist — who's performed with both MGK and Yungblud — reportedly posted and then quickly deleted a POV shot of his feet next to the TikTok star's feet as they sat together in the backseat of a car. Of course, it's entirely possible that Addi, who's yet to address the rumored romance, had a shoe twin that night… Omer also shared a group photo with Addison back in early May.
During a June 27 chat with "Entertainment Tonight," Andra Day shut down rumors that she connected romantically with Brad Pitt following the 2021 Oscars in April. "We've never met. … We're not dating. We don't even know each other," she said, adding that even her sister texted to ask if the rumors were true. The singer-actress called the rumor "hilarious" and noted that it seemingly came out of "thin air," quipping that "somebody was bored that day." She concluded by praising her not-boyfriend: "He's great, though — super-talented, wonderful," she said of Brad.
On June 28 — after Jack Antonoff and Margaret Qualley sparked romance rumors after it was revealed they'd spent time together in New York City earlier in the month — Deux Moi reported that, according to a source, the five-time Grammy winner recently split from longtime love Carlotta Kohl. "[He's] 100% not with Carlotta anymore," said the source. A second alleged insider, however, insisted that "Jack is still very much with Carlotta." The longtime duo attended the 2021 Grammys together in March, and Carlotta even directed the music video for Bleachers' single "Stop Making This Hurt," which debuted in May 2021. Even if the Bleachers frontman is back on the market, it's possible that he and the "Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood" actress — who ended her controversial romance with Shia LaBeouf earlier this year — are just friends. We'll be keeping an eye on them…
John Mulaney and Olivia Munn were snapped smiling during a low-key lunch date in Los Angeles on June 26, seemingly confirming mid-May reports that they're an item. "They were having a great time during lunch, laughing and talking," a spy told People magazine, noting that the duo appeared to be "really enjoying each other's company." According to an Us Weekly source, the comedian is the actress's "dream guy" and she's "so smitten" and "on cloud nine" with him. "Olivia and John are going strong," said the source. "She has been sneaking into some of his shows and loves them. … John thinks Olivia is really smart and she makes him laugh too. They both have a very dry sense of humor."
On June 30, People magazine shed some light on how exactly Oscar winner Renee Zellweger and car builder and TV host Ant Anstead connected and started dating: "Sometimes two people just meet and click, and the timing is right," said a source. "Renee is creative … and often goes for guys who think out of the box. She's smart, thoughtful and always looking to expand horizons and nurture those around her. … Both of them are private and dislike public scrutiny, so they have that in common. He's a creative guy with lots of interests, and she likes to write and produce, so they have things to talk about when together."
On the June 30 episode of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," which was filmed in late 2020, Erika Jayne shot down rumors she had affairs with Scooter Braun and her former "Dancing With the Stars" partner Gleb Savchenko. "I haven't seen either one of them in four and a half [or] five years," she said, adding that if the rumors bothered her, she'd "sue." (Those rumors, by the way, were prompted by blind items shared by Deux Moi late last year.) She also said it was "possible" her estranged husband, Tom Girardi, had an affair, though she wasn't aware of any unfaithfulness on his part at the time. "It's not the first time I've heard [rumors about him cheating]," she said during a confessional. "But if I'm 81 and a half years old and out there still trying to [hook up with women], hats off to you, player." In mid-December 2020 — apparently after the episode was filmed — Erika accused Tom of having an affair with California judge Tricia A. Bigelow. People magazine then reported that Tom "was cheating on her with multiple women."
The Blast reported on June 24 that Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver may be close to finally ending their marriage in the eyes of the law. According to the webloid, the "Terminator" star recently filed a declaration of disclosure — paperwork listing his income, expenses, assets and debts — indicating they may be gearing up to reach a settlement regarding the division of their $400 million in assets, as well as other spousal support matters. (They did not have a prenuptial agreement in place when they wed in 1986.) It's the first time any paperwork has been filed in the former couple's divorce case in more than four years … since one of Arnold's lawyers filed paperwork for an address change. Maria filed for divorce in 2011 after discovering her husband had a child with another woman in 1997 — well into their marriage. It's unclear why exactly the pair have waited so long to officially pull the plug. Arnold has been in a relationship with physical therapist Heather Milligan since at least early 2013.
On the June 29 episode of "Watch What Happens Live," Sonja Morgan revealed she dated Ryan Serhant before the 36-year-old "Million Dollar Listing" star married Emilia Bechrakis in 2016. Said the 57-year-old "The Real Housewives of New York City" star, "He was a newbie. He didn't know how dangerous it was." She also noted that they went out on multiple dates after meeting at a charity event. (They were photographed together a handful of times in 2012 and 2013.)
On June 25, Candace Cameron Bure took to Instagram to belatedly mark her 25th wedding anniversary with husband Valerie Bure: "June 22nd we celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary!! 25 years!!" she captioned a slideshow of photos with her hubby. "I'm often asked for marriage advice. What's the secret? Lord knows I will never write a book about it because we are still learning every year, every day. Grace. Grace. Grace. Communication (which is so important but difficult when one partner isn't willing). Sex. Laughter. Patience. Lots of patience. Love (a verb. which must be put into action, it's not just a feeling). No marriage is picture perfect. Not one. And certainly not ours. But through thick and thin, ups and downs, God has blessed us tremendously with guidance and perseverance. I believe God is the secret sauce. I have more love for this man today than the day we married each other. And I know he does for me."
During an interview with People magazine that debuted online on June 27, Sarah Shahi opened up about her hot new romance with "Sex/Life" co-star Adam Demos: "I said, 'Well, that's a tall drink of water.' When I first met Adam, I was really blown away with him," she gushed. "We met in the makeup trailer and we just got on instantly. We had the exact same taste in music. We had the same taste in whiskey and tequilas and I was really blown away by him just as a person and all I knew was that I wanted more. And then I got an opportunity to act with him, and I will say, sitting across the other side of the camera with him was just a privilege." The Australian actor first hinted that he and the "Person of Interest" actress were more than friends when he took to Instagram on New Year's Eve to share a photo of them ringing in the new year while apparently lying in bed together. They haven't been shy about expressing their love for one another on social media since then. Sarah, by the way, just finalized her divorce from "Shameless" star Steve Howey in January. She filed to legally end their marriage of a decade in May 2020.

They've both moved on since quietly separating in early 2020 after more than a decade of marriage: The "Fast & Furious" franchise star has been seeing her new boyfriend, Mason Morfit, since mid-2020, while the "A Quiet Place" producer's new girlfriend, "Baywatch" actress Alexandra Daddario, made their relationship Instagram official in May 2021.
