Apparently, the famous couple did not allow the venue to take pictures, but they brought their own photographer and security along with them. It's also reported that Kardashian and Barker requested an Elvis impersonator to officiate the wedding.

The secret's out … Christina Haack and Josh Hall are married! TMZ reports the pair got hitched in California "sometime over the last 6 months." On Haack's real estate license, she appears to have changed her last name to Hall as well.

The couple have been dating for a year, and they announced the news of their engagement in September 2021.

When Haack first opened up about dating Hall last year, she wrote that she felt protective over their relationship—which could explain the secret marriage.

The Suite Life of Zack & Cody actor said, "My brother and I used to get quite a bit of, 'Oh, you made it out! Oh, you're unscathed!' No. The young women on the channel we were on Disney Channel were so heavily sexualized from such an earlier age than my brother and I that there's absolutely no way that we could compare our experiences. And every single person going through that trauma has a unique experience."

Sprouse continued, "When we talk about child stars going nuts, what we're not actually talking about is how fame is a trauma. So I'm violently defensive against people who mock some of the young women who were on the channel when I was younger because I don't feel like it adequately comprehends the humanity of that experience and what it takes to recover."

Rumors abounded about the start of a new romance when Jason Momoa gave his jacket to Kate Beckinsale at an Oscars afterparty last month. However, the Dune actor is now setting the record straight.

In an interview with Extra published on Monday (April 4th), Momoa said, "It was cray. Have a conversation with a woman about her country, I was in England doing Aquaman 2. Everyone is like, 'Are you dating?' No, no, it was chivalry, the woman was cold."

He continued, "She is very nice, I was being very nice, just being a gentleman. Now, I am not giving my coat to anyone."

All this comes approximately two months after Momoa and Lisa Bonet announced that they were divorcing.

After Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the 94th annual Academy Awards, his talent agency reportedly thought about letting him go.

Apparently, CAA is in the process of acquiring ICM, the agency that represents Chris Rock, so the company was at a crossroads.

Meanwhile, a CAA spokesperson claimed "there is no truth" to these rumors.

Many Twitter users brought the backlash Will Smith has been facing into the equation. "I don't want to hear anything else about Will Smith now that Louis C.K. not only was nominated but just won an award #GRAMMYs," one person wrote.

Another commented, "Louis CK just won a whole ass Grammy while y'all are either calling for Will Smith's head or crying about cancel culture. There are no consequences for white cishet men."

In an appearance on The Viall Files podcast released Monday (April 4th), Accepted actor Justin Long was bursting at the seams about finding "the one."

"I had gotten to a place where I was comfortable with myself. I didn't know it at the time, but I was ready for the one," he told former Bachelor Nick Viall. "And the one, I met. I found," he said.

Long did not name any names, but just last week, he and Blue Crush actress Kate Bosworth were spotted in a car together in Los Angeles. Since then, they've also been photographed holding hands.

"I want to talk about it, but I also want to be protective. I want to scream it from the rooftops, but I also want to be protective. It's sacred," Long said of his relationship.

Two years after her breakup with former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler, Laguna Beach star Kristin Cavallari said she's finally ready for another relationship. In an Instagram Q and A over the weekend, Cavallari told fans she needed to take time to "work through some heavy stuff."

"I dated a little here and there but no one serious. I am finally in a place where I'm ready for a relationship," she said.

When asked if she would get married again, The Hills star said "Yes," adding, "I still very much believe in marriage and I've had tremendous growth over the past two years, so I will be entering a new relationship as a different person which really excites me."

Cavallari advised her followers to take "the time to work through it, allowing yourself to feel all the emotions" after ending a "toxic relationship." She added, "It took me literally 2 years to fully heal."

On Monday (April 4th), TMZ shared photos of Cavallari kissing former Bachelorette star Tyler Cameron during a photoshoot for her lifestyle brand, Uncommon James. It's unclear whether this was just for the photoshoot or if something more could be brewing there.
