Reunion
Reunited and it feels so good! On Nov. 6, "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresa Giudice and her four daughters headed to Italy to reunite with Joe Giudice for the first time in over three years. Following his imprisonment and ensuing Immigrations and Customs Enforcement detention, Joe flew to Italy in October to wait out his deportation appeal. "We're back," Gia Giudice, Joe and Teresa's eldest daughter, captioned a family snap. Joe shared the photo on his Instagram Story as well.

Back off
In early November, Jenelle Evans obtained a temporary restraining order against ex David Eason. In court documents filed on Oct. 31, the former "Teen Mom" star detailed why she needs her estranged husband to stay away. "Because of his recent threats, his history of violence, his erratic behavior and his large stockpile of weapons, I am scared for my life and my children's well-being," she said. David's threats, she added, had escalated in recent days; she detailed 11 incidents over the past two years that involved alleged physical and verbal abuse. "Given his actions," she wrote in the filing, "and knowing his temperament, I believe he was implying that he would kill himself if I do not come back to him… For all of these reasons, I'm afraid that David will harm me or my children, and that he will continue to threaten me using text messages, phone calls, or on the internet." Jenelle is also trying to get full custody of their 2-year-old daughter, Ensley. The restraining order also protects her two older kids with two other men.

Legal matters
The family of a woman who died in a boat crash involving "Shark Tank" star Kevin O'Leary and his wife, Linda, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the couple. The family also isn't totally sold on police findings (and Kevin's story) that Linda was behind the wheel of the boat when it hit a larger vessel in Canada in August. The family of Susanne Brito is also suing the driver of the larger vessel. The lawsuit against Kevin and Linda claims their boat lacked proper safety functions and that the O'Learys were impaired, had poor eyesight and weren't wearing their prescribed glasses. It further alleges that Kevin and Linda were texting and driving. The family is asking for $1 million in compensatory damages and $1 million in punitive damages.

Dating
The "Internet's boyfriend" has a girlfriend. Early in the week after they stepped out on a red carpet holding hands, it was reported that Keanu Reeves has been dating artist Alexandra Grant, his business partner in a small book publishing company whom he met a decade ago. While some reports said they started dating earlier this year, according to Us Weekly, they've been seeing each other for years. "It wasn't a secret," the Us source said. "They have been dating since at least summer of 2017." Social media erupted with glee at the thought of Keanu's happiness. "Obviously Keanu is trying to make the whole world fall in love with him," one user commented.
He does what?
Rapper T.I. made waves this week when he revealed that he accompanies his 18-year-old daughter, Deyjah Harris, to the gynecologist every year to ensure that she's still a virgin. The rapper made the revelation while speaking on the Nov. 5 "Ladies Like Us" podcast. A ton of listeners shredded T.I., saying he was invading his daughter's privacy (his social media was overrun with critical comments). As the quotes went viral, podcast hosts Nazanin Mandi and Nadia Moham deleted the episode and released a statement explaining that they "were completely caught off guard/shocked and looking back, we should have reacted much differently in the moment." The women were criticized for laughing while T.I. detailed the gynecologist visits. "We are not perfect, take full accountability for our lack of action," the hosts said.
Single lady
Reba McEntire and her boyfriend of nearly two years, Anthony "Skeeter" Lasuzzo, quietly ended their two-year romance in the spring but managed to keep the split under wraps for months. The country music legend shared her breakup news after being asked about her holiday plans. "Skeeter and I broke up in May, so, unfortunately, we will not be spending that time together," she told Us Weekly. "We still talk and we're friends, but just decided to go our separate ways." A source told Closer magazine that Reba and the oil geologist's lifestyles ultimately were not compatible. Reba's "busy schedule and Skeeter's way of life — he's retired — just didn't mesh very well," the source said.
Baby on board
Another child is on the way for Richard Gere and wife Alejandra Silva, according to Page Six and HOLA! magazine. Richard, 70, and Alejandra, 36, are already parents to son Alexander, who was born in February. Their second child together is expected in the spring. The privately couple, who wed in 2018, both also have sons from previous relationships.
Social media move
Miley Cyrus has definitely moved on from both husband Liam Hemsworth and ex-girlfriend Kaitlynn Carter — she's unfollowed both of them on Instagram. When she actually did this isn't clear, but fans began noticing during the first week in November that Miley had removed both from her follow list. The purge news comes after Kaitlynn, who split with Miley in September after more than a month of dating, open up about falling in love with the pop star. "This past July, I went on vacation with a female friend; the next thing I knew, I was in love with her," she wrote for ELLE magazine, referring to Miley. "Until that trip, it had never crossed my mind that I was even capable of loving a woman the way I loved her. But after reflecting on my romantic history, I realized that I've never really had a 'type.'"
"View" visit
Donald Trump Jr. was a guest on "The View" on Nov. 7, and, needless to say, there were fireworks. The POTUS' son and his girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle clashed with nearly every member of show's cast, including Joy Behar, Abby Huntsman, Sunny Hostin Whoopi Goldberg and Meghan McCain. The temperature was raised through much of the interview with the hosts saying that Jr.'s dad has lowered the level of discourse in the country. The most viral moment, though, came via Meghan when she asked, "You and your family have hurt a lot of people…Does all of this make you feel good?" Don Jr. said, "I don't think any of that makes me feel good, but I do think that we got into this because we wanted to do what's right for America." He then pivoted to talking points. Later in the day, Trump said, "I don't think they like me much anymore."
Stepping back
You'll be seeing less of Kourtney Kardashian on the upcoming season of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians." The reality TV star said she's taking a step back from the family's ubiquitous show to focus on her three children. "I just decided to spend more time as a mom and put more of my energy there," she told ET. "But I'm not saying goodbye. I think you'll have to see more of it on the new season, season 18. It isn't airing yet, but it's being filmed." Of Kourtney's decision, Khloe Kardashian predicted that it's only temporary. "We definitely love Kourtney and we will miss Kourtney and whatever she decides to do, but people come, people go all the time in this family," Khloe said. "We feel like it's a revolving door, so Kourtney might leave this week, she'll be back. They all come back."
