According to People magazine, which published exclusive wedding photos, "Chicago Med" star Jessy Schram married her love of about six years, Sterling Taylor, at an architectural salvage store in Chicago on June 18. "Star Trek: Discovery" actor Oded Fehr — who previously starred in the "Resident Evil" and "The Mummy" franchises — officiated the ceremony. "It means taking that extra step as partners and co-pilots … that extra commitment mentally, physically, cosmically to doing and creating life with someone. For us it's a declaration, not only to ourselves, but with our community, that we choose each other," the bride gushed of what marriage means to her. She and her hubby got engaged in late 2021.

During an interview with Romper that debuted online on June 21, Hilaria Baldwin said that although her husband, Alec Baldwin, is 26 years her senior, she often feels like his parent: "Am I his mommy? Sometimes I'm his mommy. Sometimes. At the beginning of our relationship, everyone was like, 'She must have daddy issues because she's married to somebody older.' But it's actually the opposite," she said. The duo wed in 2012 and have since welcomed seven children together. (Alec also has an adult daughter, model Ireland Baldwin, from his first marriage with Kim Basinger.)
The Emmy winner, meanwhile, gushed of his wife, "I admire her, and I have faith in her integrity. She's incredibly decent, and she's obviously a beautiful woman. I'm madly in love with her. And she can be a gigantic pain in the a** sometimes, but that's marriage."

During an interview with People magazine that debuted online on June 21, Mick Jagger's girlfriend of nearly a decade, Melanie Hamrick, addressed rumors that they're set to wed — which she recently sparked when she started sporting what appeared to be an engagement ring. "In my mind, it's a promise ring. We'll be immature and call it a promise ring," she said after confirming that the iconic rocker gave her the bauble. When asked if she ever sees herself tying the knot, the ballerina replied, "I don't know. I'm kind of like, a live-in-the-moment type of person, so who knows."
On July 2, Mick's rep told The Independent that reports claiming the rocker and Melanie are engaged are "not true."
On June 22, the age-mismatched duo — he's more than four decades her senior — finally made their official red carpet debut as a couple at the gala premiere of the American Ballet Theater's production of "Like Water for Chocolate" in New York City.

On June 20, TMZ broke the news that Avril Lavigne and Tyga quietly called it quits sometime "a couple weeks" earlier. According to the webloid, the breakup was "a mutual decision" after their romance of just a few months "ran its course." TMZ reported there were "no hard feelings" between the pop star and the rapper, who were first romantically linked in early March in the wake of her split from Mod Sun.
"Tyga and Avril were friends before they started dating so although they've decided to break up, they've remained on good terms," echoed an Us Weekly source, noting that the duo "have a mutual respect for one another" and ultimately "decided they're better as friends than romantic partners." Added the Us Weekly insider of the former couple, "There's no hard feelings and they plan on continuing their friendship. At this point, it's just platonic."
Just a few weeks later, however, the pair sparked reconciliation rumors.

On June 17, Dean McDermott took to Instagram to announce that he and Tori Spelling were throwing in the towel following nearly two decades of marriage: "It's with great sadness and a very, very heavy heart that after 18 years together and five amazing children … [we] have decided to go our separate ways and start a new journey of our own," he wrote in part.
Just a few hours later, however, the former "Chopped Canada" host deleted the breakup announcement, prompting an Us Weekly source to insist that he and Tori — who've weathered a number of rough patches over the years including a 2013 cheating scandal — "have been better than ever" and "are not getting a divorce." Said the source, "They've had their ups and downs like any couple, but [they] have continued working on their marriage through couple's counseling. They love each other and are not going to split." The insider went on to say that friends believe Dean made the breakup announcement because he and Tori got into "a big blowout fight" the previous evening. "He obviously regretted it, so he deleted the post," the source said.
A People magazine source, meanwhile, said that Dean's breakup announcement seemed to come "out of the blue" because he and the "Beverly Hills, 90210" alum "really did seem to be in a good place in recent months." Explained the insider, "If this had happened a year ago, it would've been expected because things were terrible between them. Sure, they still had their disagreements and didn't always see eye to eye, but the past six months things had felt good between them." Said a second People source, "They were definitely trying in the last few months [to make their marriage work], and things felt way less toxic. They also made an effort to make holidays and milestones special and were much more in tune with each other. It's been a night-and-day difference from the last couple years."
On June 21, however, a third People magazine source insisted that Dean is absolutely ready to throw in the towel: "[He] 100 percent wants to get out of the marriage. He took down the post because Tori didn't want him to keep it up. But he's packing his bags and is 100 percent serious about it. … He can't take it anymore. He told her he's done," the source said.
An "Entertainment Tonight" source echoed that Tori and Dean "realized that it was finally time" and "both were ready" to call it quits. "They feel like their kids are healthy, safe, and good, and now they need to move on. They are trying to move forward as amicably as possible," the source said.

In a V Magazine feature that hit the Internet on June 15 — three months after "Entertainment Tonight" reported that Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin had quietly gotten engaged — the former child star and the model finally confirmed they're set to wed.

The couple also revealed that they were planning to tie the knot in Barbara's native Hungary — which they did on July 15!

On June 21, People magazine reported that, according to newly filed paperwork in their divorce, Kevin Costner's estranged wife, Christine Baumgartner, is asking for nearly $250K per month in child support for their three children — ages 16, 14 and 13. She reportedly believes that exorbitant sum is actually "less than the amount needed to maintain the children in their accustomed lifestyle." She's also asking the "Yellowstone" star — who's said he'd like to pay $38K a month in child support — to cover the kids' private school tuition and healthcare expenses, as well as the costs associated with their extracurricular activities. (Their on the same page where the additional expenses are concerned.)
The $3M per year she's seeking is practically chump change to the Oscar winner, who reportedly banked $19.5M in 2022. Before they called it quits, Kevin and Christine spent about $6.6M per year excluding taxes to maintain their luxurious lifestyle.
The mother of three, who is not seeking spousal support, filed for divorce in May following nearly two decades of marriage. Since then, she and the actor have been at odds over her refusal to vacate their $145M marital home in Carpinteria, California, in spite of a stipulation in their prenuptial agreement requiring her to move out within 30 days of filing for divorce and relocate to a $1.2M property at a different location. Kevin has offered to pay up to $30K per month in rent if his former missus moves into a rental home, as well as $10K to cover her moving expenses "as part of his child support obligations." He's already reportedly forked over $1M to her, per the terms of their prenup.

That was fast! On June 15 — just a few months after Bachelor Nation's Kelley Flanagan and Peter Weber called it quits for the umpteenth time — the lawyer took to Instagram to debut her new boyfriend: entrepreneur Ari Raptis (left). Kelley's mother made it clear that she and Ari are more than friends by commenting on the first official photo of them together, which was taken at Kelley's sister's wedding, "Great looking couple! Best of the lot! Guy of my dreams for my daughter. … He's a dreamboat! That's my generation describing one great catch! Go get him Kelley! We're all behind you!"

According to a People magazine source, Kelley and Ari have been an item for "a couple months now." They reportedly met at a mutual friend's wedding in Mykonos in the summer of 2022 and "rekindled recently."
