Take a look back at the stars who found love, suffered heartbreak or experienced some other major event in their love lives in late June 2023, starting with this pair…
On the June 26 episode of "Watch What Happens Live," Jennifer Lawrence officially shut down rumors that she and Liam Hemsworth had an affair on the set of "The Hunger Games" while he was in a relationship with Miley Cyrus: "Not true. Total rumor. We all know me and Liam kissed, like, one time [off set] — it was years after they broke up," the Oscar winner said.
Miley accidentally raised a fresh round of rumors about her ex-husband's relationship with his former co-star when she wore a gold gown in her "Flowers" music video — which dropped in January — that closely resembles a look Jennifer donned during the Los Angeles premiere of "The Hunger Games" in 2012. "I just assume that was, like, a coincidence," J.Law said of the dueling gold dresses.
Miley and Liam got engaged in 2012 but called off their plans to tie the knot in 2013. They reconciled several years later and were briefly married from late 2018 to early 2019. After the Australian actor filed for divorce, the singer-actress insisted on Twitter that infidelity did not play a role in their split: "I can admit to a lot of things but I refuse to admit that my marriage ended because of cheating," she tweeted in August 2019.

On June 25, influencer Alix Earlie took to TikTok to tease her rumored relationship with Braxton Berrios: The blonde beauty shared a video that includes a clip of herself hugging a shirtless man who appears to be the professional football player. When a fan pointed out in the comments section that the video marks the duo's "hard launch," the influencer replied, "We're not even 'dating,' but [it's] just hard for me to not share stuff with you guys." Not long after that, Braxton's ex-girlfriend, reality star Sophia Culpo, shared a since-deleted TikTok video purportedly calling him a narcissist. "Give it a few but call me when the love bombing ends. I gotchu," she wrote, adding a hashtag for "narc red flag." (Earlier this year, there were rumors that Braxton cheated on Sophia with Alix.)
After the Miami Dolphins wide receiver caught wind of his ex's disparaging comments, he took to his Instagram Story to set the record straight: "I was in a relationship for two years. It was a good relationship — it was a healthy one. And towards the end of it, we had conversations along the lines of 'we just weren't working out.' So when we split back in January, that's why — it had nothing to do with anything else, it had nothing to do with anybody else, for that matter. We just didn't work out, and that's OK," he said.

On June 26, DailyMail.com shed some light on why Dean McDermott is finally ready to call time on his troubled marriage with Tori Spelling: "Dean has changed and worked very hard to be the husband she needed him to be but she is still demanding and entitled. Nothing he does or has done will ever be good enough for her," a source said, adding that "for a very long time," the "Beverly Hills, 90210" alum "used their marital problems to stay relevant," which "really took a toll on Dean." Meanwhile, the source said, Tori "did not feel like Dean was holding his weight" in their domestic life. "She kept wanting more and more, and from Tori's perspective, she always just felt like Dean wasn't carrying his half. She feels like she had to raise all their children on her own and, for the most part, she is right," the source explained, noting that the mother of five wanted the actor "to start working and bring home money to support their family."
"She wanted him to be a better father to their kids and he has devoted all his free time to them. She wanted him to be more romantic and he would go out of his way to bring her flowers, constantly showering her with gifts to show her how much he loved her and it finally sunk in. … Tori finally let him love her, and things were going great between them. But then she started taking him for granted and it went downhill quickly," the source said.
On June 17, Dean took to Instagram to announce in a since-deleted post that he and Tori had "decided to go our separate ways."

Amid lingering questions about the nature of Leonardo DiCaprio's relationship with Gigi Hadid, DailyMail.com reported on June 27 that, according to a source, the Oscar winner and the model are just friends after discovering there was no romantic spark between them: "They tried dating some time ago to see if there could be anything there, but there just wasn't. They are friends and have been for so long, but they are not in an open relationship with no-strings-attached," the source said before insisting that despite how things might appear, the A-lister is no player. "That is not how Leonardo handles relationships. This makes him sound cheap and that he is not. When he is with someone, he is with them. He enjoys his friendship with Gigi and that is that. … It is just ridiculous that a man and a woman cannot be friends without everyone insisting there is more to it," the insider huffed.

On June 25, The U.S. Sun reported that previous reports might have overstated just how "blindsided" Kevin Costner was when his estranged wife, Christine Baumgartner, filed for divorce in May: According to a source, she simply beat him to the punch. "Kevin sat his family down, told them he and their mom were getting a divorce and his lawyer was getting the paperwork drawn up. He wanted everything to be peaceful for the sake of his kids and told Christine he didn't want a messy divorce because he'd already been through one. Then first thing the next morning, boom, Christine sneak attacks him and serves him with her own set of divorce papers. Kevin was so shocked. Christine has since made him look terrible — and has continued to do so," the source said.

On June 26, Offset alleged on his Instagram Story that wife Cardi B strayed from their marriage. The "Bodak Yellow" rapper quickly took to Twitter to set the record straight, insisting that her hubby was "spiraling," "going crazy" and "thinking s***" that wasn't true. She went on to insist that if she were, in fact, cheating on the Migos rapper, the news "would be out" already because of her celebrity status. "Please, boy, stop acting stupid. … Stop playing," she told Offset. She also pointed out the irony considering his past indiscretions: "You can't accuse me of all the things you know that you are guilty of. And I see that it is easy for you to blame everything on me," she sang, quoting Keyshia Cole's "I Should Have Cheated."

Continued the "L.A. Law" alum, "To find love and discover love in someone who's been around in my life, in my family's life, and as I have been in hers, for so long in an honorable, platonic way.

This past month of being your fiancée and being in our own little world of just us two has been so perfect and I wish I could never leave this time. I never thought I would ever meet a man like you or someone so selfless and filled with so much love to give. You're the least judgmental human being I've ever met. The most talented, the most loyal, the kindest person. I've never felt more loved or in love. I now know the feeling of forever not being long enough. I'm so excited to spend this life with you, our life so far is a life I never thought I deserved or would live. I never thought I'd be looking forward to living as much as I look forward to living with you. I'm so grateful for you. I don't know how I got so lucky … I would say 'yes' to you every day for the rest of my life. I love you, Pinks.

On June 26, Page Six reported that under the terms of Lisa Hochstein and Lenny Hochstein's prenuptial agreement — which she's fighting to invalidate — the famed plastic surgeon agreed to fork over $1.5M to the "Real Housewives of Miami" star if they divorced following a decade of marriage, plus an addition $200K per year thereafter. Before they wed, Lenny agreed to contribute a minimum of $2K per year to Lisa's retirement fund and to give her $1K per week as a personal allowance. He also agreed to pay her $10K a month in temporary support if (and only if!) she agreed to follow the terms of their prenup when they called it quits — which she hasn't. Lisa, meanwhile, agreed to move out of their marital home within 30 days of separating — which she also hasn't.
The prenup details the former couple's assets when they entered the marriage in 2009: Lisa had $317K to her name including her $110 engagement ring, while Lenny had $16M in assets when they said "I do." The duo have been fighting over finances since they called it quits in 2022.

So nice, they did it thrice! According to People magazine, which published exclusive photos, Jillian Michaels and DeShanna Marie Minuto exchanged vows for the third time at the Aman hotel on the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy, on June 24.
"She's beautiful, she's funny and she's so creative. But all that shiny stuff in the beginning doesn't last. So what makes you say to yourself, 'I want to walk alongside this human for the rest of my life.' And I take that really seriously. I'm 49. I've never married anyone. I just didn't believe that there was a human I could do that with until DeShanna. … What made me believe it, and her more than anything, is truly what we've been through and the quality of her character, her strength, her empathy and her intelligence," gushed the fitness guru. The fashion designer, meanwhile, said of her missus, "She really is my best friend and my rock. She has this insatiable desire to learn and that's really been such an amazing thing for me and for us as a couple just to grow together."

She added that they kept their happy news to themselves for months until the paparazzi photographed her wearing her engagement ring while taking a dip in the ocean in Boca Raton, Florida.
