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 Miranda Lambert's controversial new relationship: The country singer is reportedly dating Evan Felker of the Turnpike Troubadours, who've served as an opening act on her Livin' Like Hippies tour since February. "They are very much involved," a source told Us Weekly as part of an April 24 report. A second source said that the duo "started spending a lot more time together while on the road" and added that things just "happened" between the musicians while Miranda was still with her ex-boyfriend, Anderson East, and Evan was still married to Staci Nelson, whom he reportedly wed in September 2016 and from whom he's now estranged. (According to an In Touch source, "Miranda would call Evan at 3 a.m. while he was lying in bed with his wife. Staci would always ask why she was calling so late. In the beginning he'd tell Staci, 'This is all for business, babe. This could change our great-grandchildren's live.' Eventually it got to be an every-night thing.") "Staci had no other choice but to file for divorce," said one Us Weekly source, adding that "she was devastated." But another insider painted a different picture of the timeline, claiming that Evan actually filed for divorce first on Feb. 16, 12 days before Staci. RadarOnline caught up with Staci's father, who described his daughter as "heartbroken." When the webloid told him that Miranda allegedly has a reputation for dating married men, he replied, "I don't like to spread rumors, but I'd say you're on the right track," though he was "not able to confirm or deny" that Evan and the country star had an affair. But that's not where the story ends…

On April 25, Miranda Lambert's ex-husband, Blake Shelton, seemingly chimed in on her relationship drama with a cryptic tweet: "Been taking the high road for a long time.. I almost gave up. But I can finally see something on the horizon up there!! Wait!! Could it be?! Yep!! It's karma!!" he wrote, later re-tweeting a fan's message that read, "this is what the #TRUTH feels like!!!" Cheating rumors plagued both Miranda and Blake — who fell in love while he was still married to his first wife — around the time they split, though neither have confirmed that infidelity played a role in their breakup. Gavin Rossdale was memorably accused of cheating on Blake's current girlfriend, Gwen Stefani, while they were married. The Bush frontman's infidelity inspired much of Gwen's 2016 album "This Is What the Truth Feels Like" — to which Blake called attention on Twitter, seemingly drawing parallels between what happened to the No Doubt frontwoman and what Miranda has done to the men in her life. Yikes.

"I'm just excited to share this experience with him because I'm so excited to see the film," she added.

Rami Malek is reportedly dating "Murder on the Orient Express" actress Lucy Boynton. "They met while filming 'Bohemian Rhapsody' in London," a source told Us Weekly as part of an April 24 report. "He is so into her. He goes and visits her in London all the time." The Emmy winner previously romanced "Mr. Robot" co-star Portia Doubleday.

Gwyneth Paltrow opened up about her relationship with her fiance, TV producer Brad Falchuk, during an interview with couples therapist Esther Perel for the April 22 issue of The Sunday Times. "For the first time, I feel I'm in an adult relationship that is sometimes uncomfortable because he sort of demands a certain level of intimacy and communication that I haven't been held to before," she said. "What came up in the first couple years of our relationship was how incapable I was in this realm, how I feared intimacy and communication." Continued the actress, "In the past, I've been in relationships with men who had intimacy issues, so I could be, like, 'I'm fine, I'm ready to do this,' and let myself think he's the one with the problem. … In a way, some of the relationships were designed to keep me out of intimacy." Added Gwyneth, "I had two typical types of relationships: one where I was constantly chasing and trying to win someone over … and one where I was put off by the person's capacity for the relationship — and those relationships were very short-lived."

Kevin Hart addressed his 2017 cheating scandal in the music video for J. Cole's new song "Kevin's Heart," which centers around how difficult to resist the temptation to cheat is for a male celebrity. In the clip, which hit the Internet on April 24, Kevin can be seen fielding judgmental stares from strangers while grocery shopping. He then listens to a news report on the radio about the "Kevin Hart situation" before shopping for a stroller — a nod to the fact that his wife, Eniko Parrish, was pregnant with their son, Kenzo, when he got caught. Toward the end of the video, in which Kevin also faces multiple aggressive attempts by female fans to pick him up, an older man tells him, "Yo, Kev. Hey, man, look: Nobody's perfect and you're only human. Learn from it man. Just learn from it," before patting him on the back. Ultimately, Kevin returns home by himself. The video ends with a shot of the words "Choose Wisely" written in the clouds.

"I don't think it even causes a stir," Melissa told Closer of how Reba's level of fame affects Skeeter. "He's a confident guy. And when you're hanging with the crazy crew that Reba has, you gotta be a good sport and be able to roll, and he totally does!"

"Again, like, I don't know where this is going to lead, but I do know I appreciate all his qualities. I feel like I'm a much better person when I'm with him. I'm just very lighthearted and I'm focused on the right things and I'm not distracted by the fake world that we could be a part of." Nick Viall's ex-fiancée added that her new guy is a friend she met before her reality TV days — "[He] is not related to 'Bachelor' world at all," she said — and called their relationship "recent." Vanessa also denied that she and hockey player Brendan Gallagher dated: "If I were dating every guy I went out for coffee with, I'd have a lot of boyfriends. That's not true," she said.

We want a rescue dog." He also dished on possibly reuniting with Laura on-screen in the rumored upcoming "Downton Abbey" movie: "It will be funny, because it will be the first time we're working together while also being together," he said.

Still loving you, Willie, forever and always. Looking forward to at least 46 more birthdays with you!"
