Word on the street is Summer Walker is the latest R&B songstress to spin the block after some photos seemingly confirmed she is back with actor Lil Meech.
Summer Walker is still not over (see what we did there?) Lil Meech. Spotted on HipHopDX, the singer hopped on her Instagram Stories to share a photo of the BMF actor kissing her on the cheek and another picture of them in matching jean outfits.
Her most recent posts, which came on Saturday, November 4, come after the singer shared a photo of herself, Meech, and others at a pumpkin patch.
The reunion between the two is taking some by surprise because the “Over It” singer trolled the 23-year-old actor, born Demetrius Flenory Jr, over cheating allegations.
In her Instagram Stories, Walker shared a photo of Meech while singing Mystikal’s hit record “Danger (Been So Long).”
She quickly killed all speculation by insinuating that she was only joking by telling her followers not to take her “humor too serious.”
“My favorite comedians are Dave Chappelle, Bernie Mac, Richard Pryor, & Katt Williams, they say shit and don’t give af,” Walker wrote. “I know this generation doesn’t understand how to actually laugh n move on but yeah.”
Walker’s apparent spinning the block is a significant about-face after she had social media talking August after sharing a bunch of posts in her IG Stories accusing Lil Meech of cheating.
Not too long after, video footage from a Ring doorbell hit timelines, showing the BMF star entering a mystery woman’s apartment and leaving 17 minutes later.
He denied cheating, offering this explanation, “Damn, I can’t help my cousin bring the bags in the house,” he asked. “We went to the grocery store, man.”
X Users Have Thoughts About Summer Walker Taking Lil Meech Back
Summer Walker seems happy again, but X users haven’t been as receptive. Some are even calling the singer a hypocrite because of comments she made about other women.
“Summer walker is the true definition of why you need to shut the fuck up and not mention another woman name to try and make yourself look or seem better/smarter. Went right back the nigga who cheated and embarrassed you. But tried to embarrass Jayda just a few weeks ago. FOH!” one X user wrote.
Another X user added, “Summer Walker is a prime example why men will do what they do to us. I’m sorry this time around I’m not letting no man play with me. Don’t call block, boring conversation block, don’t have time for a relationship block, anything I question about u block.”
All fair points.

Megan Thee Stallion moves on from Pardi, and now YG is tap, tap, tapping Saweetie.
The internet is buzzing after photos of YG and Saweetie in a pool getting cozy in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, hit Twitter timelines confirming rumors of them messing around with each other.
The photos in question show a fresh-faced Saweetie rocking her vacation braids and pink bikini along with the Bompton rapper, who is hilariously wearing a fitted baseball hat in the pool.
The two Hip-Hop stars are hugging each other in photos, with YG giving her a smooch on the cheek in another flick.
Rumors of Saweetie and YG dating began to swirl after the two were seen “getting cozy” at a California restaurant while attending Coachella.
Adding more fuel to the fire, Saweetie was one of the many guests at YG’s all-red 33rd birthday soiree in West Hollywood back in March, along with other names like A$AP Ferg, Ty Dolla $ign, Offset, DJ Mustard, and Travis Scott.

The love connection could have happened in the studio after the two rappers came together on Mozzy’s 2022 track “In My Face,” featuring 2 Chainz.
Saweetie & YG’s High-Profile Love Life
Both Saweetie and YG are no strangers to high-profile romances. YG has dated Keke Palmer, singer Kehlani, whom he got caught cheating on, and two children with his ex-girlfriend Catelyn Sparks.
Saweetie famously dated Quavo between 2018 and 2021. Their romance died as allegations of Quavo creeping on the “Best Friend” crafter.
“I’m single,” she said in a 2021 tweet. “I’ve endured too much betrayal and hurt behind the scenes for a false narrative to be circulating that degrades my character. Presents don’t band-aid scars, and the love isn’t real when the intimacy is given to other women.”
“I emotionally checked out a long time ago and have walked away with a deep sense of peace and freedom. Excited for this new chapter of elevation,” she added.
Not long after, that infamous video of the elevator footage of the two artists involved in a physical altercation surfaced, but both Saweetie and Quavo said the incident happened and the past, and they were able to move past it.
Twitter Reacts To The News
Yup, Twitter is reacting to the surprising couple and is very meh at the idea of them dealing with each other. One Twitter user was unhappy to know “YG church shoe wearin’ ass” bagged Saweetie.
“YG & Saweetie is something I didn’t expect……but I’m not mad at it,” another Twitter user wrote.
Add YG and Saweetie to the list of new couples we will be rooting for. You can see more reactions to the news in the gallery below.

Nobody had Tyga and Avril Lavigne dating on their 2023 bingo cards.
Well, this is something no one saw coming, Tyga and Avril Lavigne being a thing. The two musicians confirmed their romance with a kiss while at the Mugler X Hunter Schafer Party during Paris Fashion Week on Monday, March 6.
According to TMZ, the couple was holding hands when they arrived at the bash after rumors began swirling of them possibly dating after being spotted together in Los Angeles and Paris, which also happens to be the same place Lavigne’s ex, Mod Son popped the question to her.
The celebrity gossip site also saw Lavigne and the OnlyFans content creator/rapper grabbing dinner at the swanky seafood spot NOBU and hugging in the parking lot.
The “Complicated” singer gave Mod Son the boot in February, a year after he put a ring on it, TMZ exclusively reported. According to sources, their relationship was off and on before moving on from him.
Following the confirmation of the swirling, Twitter’s reaction to the news has been utter confusion and shock. “Tyga and Avril Lavigne was not on my Bingo card,” one Twitter user said, and we totally understand.
“Tyga dating Avril Lavigne is the most random thing.. What..” another Twitter user wrote and sentiments we can totally get behind.
Before linking up with the Pop-Punk music star, Tyga has been romantically linked to Blac Chyna, with whom he shares a child, Kendall Jenner, and Camaryn Swanson.
We are intrigued to see how long this relationship lasts.

Chrissy Teigen posted the first close-up look at her and John Legend‘s newborn daughter, Esti, on Tuesday (Jan. 24), and, as you might expect, it was freakin’ adorable. In the snap, baby Esti Maxine Stephens is sleeping with her eyes shut tight, with her right hand folded under her chin and left hand resting against the side of her head.
“Look at u out here lookin’ like a baby,” Teigen captioned the snap in which Esti lays in her arms, while husband Legend added, “My little Esti.” The couple recently welcomed Esti to their brood, joining daughter Luna Simone, 6 and son Miles Theodore, 4; in an earlier snap, the two older siblings took their turn holding the baby and staring at her face with sweet smiles.
Legend and Teigen’s famous friends couldn’t resist weighing in on the Insta-perfect moment, with Kaley Cuoco commenting, “Oh em gee what a beaut!!!!!,” Olivia Munn writing, “Welcome earthside little one” and Kris Jenner adding, “Soooo beautiful just like her mama.” They also got hearts, blessings and love from Jesse Tyler, Mandy Moore, Camila McConaughey, Gabrielle Union-Wade, Andy Cohen, Garcelle Beauvais and Jenna Dewan, among others.
Earlier this month, the couple shared the news of the baby’s birth, with Teigen announcing in an Instagram post, “The house is bustling and our family could not be happier 💕. Daddy sheds nightly tears of joy seeing Luna and Miles so full of love, and I am learning you still need diapers with a c section!? We are in bliss. Thank you for all the love and well wishes – we feel it all! X”

Former GMA3 co-hosts Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes are still carrying on with their now not-so sneaky links.
Amy Robach was spotted leaving T.J. Holmes’ New York City apartment Wednesday (Jan. 4) — in photos obtained exclusively by Page Six. Dressed casually, Robach gave a silent smile as photographers peppered her with questions about her future at Good Morning America. She and Holmes are currently on leave as ABC conducts an internal investigation into their conduct.
Robach headed off to a train station keeping her AirPods in her ears–the paparazzi followed her onto the train. Marilee Feibig–Holmes’ estranged wife who has filed for divorce finally released a statement via her attorney addressing the affair which became public late last year.
“During the holiday season and in light of the challenging times, Marilee’s sole focus has remained on the overall best interest of her 9-year-old daughter,” her attorney Stephanie Lehman told The Daily Mail. “To that end T.J.’s lawyer and I have been working together to move their divorce forward privately, expeditiously and as amicably as possible,” said Lehman.
She added, “Notwithstanding, we continue to be disappointed by T.J’s lack of discretion, respect and sensitivity toward Marilee and the party’s daughter. Marilee has been touched by the outpouring of support and looks forward to a new beginning in this new year.”
Feibig, 45, is an attorney and the Chief Diversity Officer for the Save the Children Foundation. She and Holmes met in 2009 and married in Memphis in March 2010. They have a daughter, Sabine, who will be 10 this month.
It was the DailyMail that shared the blockbuster photos of the former coworkers kissing and cuddling in New York City. Since then, they have been seen cozying up to each other in Miami and leaving each other’s homes in New York.
Robach and her husband Andrew Shue are close to finalizing their divorce proceedings. The PageSix report notes that despite have at least two other affairs with GMA staff members, Holmes is confident that he will return to his job at the network.
Someday, we might just be Keeping Up With The Tennesseans. After Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker celebrated the Blink-182 drummer’s 47th birthday down South, the couple teased that they might permanently become Tennessee residents in the distant future.
Travis gave followers a peek into his countryside getaway with Kourtney in a Monday (Nov. 21) Instagram post, sharing photos of him smooching the Poosh founder in front of a rustic cabin, hiking with his 16-year-old daughter Alabama and doing some rock climbing. “Spent my Birthday in Tennessee,” he wrote in the caption.
Based on their comments on the post, it seems like the pair — who tied the knot in May — enjoyed their vacation spot so much, they might just make it their home. “Let’s move there,” wrote Kourtney.
And, replying to a fan who commented that the couple “should move to Tennessee (to) get out of Hollywood,” Travis said: “Probably will eventually.”
It’ll likely take some time for the Barker-Kardashian clan to actually make the move, as Travis and Kourtney did just purchase a home in Santa Barbara, Calif. for a reported $14.5 million. The beach house reportedly has a guest house that’s “perfect for older kids,” like Travis’ 19-year-old son Landon Barker or his 23-year-old stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya with ex Shanna Moakler.
Kourtney’s three kids, however, are still quite young. She shares 12-year-old Mason, 10-year-old Penelope and 7-year-old Reign with Scott Disick.
Travis is also currently hard at work with Blink, which just recently celebrated the reunion of its original lineup. They released a single titled “Edging” and announced a tour in October, and guitarist Tom DeLonge recently teased that the band has a new album in the works.

Julia Fox is coming clean about her messy relationship with Kanye West. In a new TikTok responding to one commenter who shaded Fox for having dated the rapper for about a month earlier this year, the Uncut Gems actress got very real about how their romance started and ended — going as far as to say that she once thought she could help both the rapper and his ex-wife by distracting him from Kim Kardashian.

Fox decided to clear the air on her time with West, who legally changed his name to Ye last year, after one user left a comment on one of her previous videos that said: “I just wish you weren’t dating a famously violent misogynist and antisemite.”
“I realized pretty quickly that he wasn’t gonna take my help,” she replied in the Monday (Nov. 21) TikTok. “I sounded almost as dumb as you guys saying I should have done something to stop him. But I know, I was delusional, I thought I could help him.”
Ye and Fox first started dating around January this year, nearly a full year after Kim had filed for divorce from the “Donda” musician in 2021. While they were together, Ye began making headlines for his repeated verbal attacks against Pete Davidson, whom Kim was dating at the time. He also began airing out private conversations between him and his ex-wife, and alleged that the Kardashians had prohibited him from attending their daughter Chicago’s fourth birthday party.
During this time, Ye was at the center of much criticism for his public treatment of Kim, with many labelling it as harassment or even emotional abuse. Months after the rapper and Fox broke up, he landed himself in even bigger scandals for featuring “White Lives Matter” shirts in his Paris Fashion Week show and for posting antisemitic comments on his Twitter, something which led to his suspension from the site.
“He hadn’t been doing anything out there yet,” Fox said of the time she was dating Ye. “I will say, that month we spent together, he wasn’t on Twitter. He wasn’t on any forms of social media. We only really talked about clothes and weird ideas, plans for the future.”
“Then I had this thought,” she continued. “I was like, ‘Oh my god, maybe I can get him off Kim’s case. Maybe I can distract him, like just get him to like me. I knew if anyone can do it, it’s me. When I set my mind to something, I do it.”
But soon after Ye started “yelling” at Fox for not texting him back enough and began posting about Kim and Davidson, the PVT Chat star said she ended the relationship. “The moment he started tweeting, I was out,” she shared. “The media reported on our relationship the week after it happened or something.”
“During that week I think you guys thought that we were together but we weren’t,” she continued. “I’d already been like, ‘Dude, I’m not gonna stick around for this shit.’”
“I don’t want to reduce his whole career to his really bad moments,” she concluded. “That being said, I stand with the Jewish community. Period.”

It’s been nearly 15 years since Taylor Swift and Joe Jonas dated, but she’ll be in his life “Forever & Always.” That’s because the DNCE frontman’s wife, actress Sophie Turner, is a certified Swiftie, meaning he’ll likely soon be waiting in line on Ticketmaster for Eras Tour tickets with the rest of the world — at least, that’s what he told E! News at the Wednesday (Nov. 15) premiere for his Korean war drama Devotion.
When asked if he planned on securing seats at one of Swift’s 52 North American shows scheduled in 2023 for Turner, Jonas replied: “That’s a great idea, is that still an option? She would love that.”
Then, upon learning that Ticketmaster had experienced major technical difficulties during its Eras Tour presale that same day, the JoBro seemed impressed. “Wow,” he said, smiling just a little awkwardly at the mention of his superstar ex, whom he dated for a few months in 2008. “That’s to be expected. I’ll get in line now.”
“Even Mr. Perfectly Fine has to suffer in the queue,” E! captioned the video of the chat. “Taylor Swift, help Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner out.”
Any Swiftie who endured several hours in the Ticketmaster queue would agree that some extra help would have been very appreciated. So many millions of fans trafficked through the company’s website on the day of the presale, it experienced mass outages and extreme delays that left many fans unable to buy any tickets at all.
A few hours into the day, Ticketmaster even posted a statement announcing the postponement of a couple of the remaining Eras Tour presales, caused by a “historically unprecedented” demand for tickets.
Hopefully, Jonas can pull some strings to get in the door at one of the “All Too Well” singer’s highly anticipated shows. It was only a few months ago that Turner gushed over Swift’s 1989, calling the 2014 record “literally one of my favorite albums of all time.”
And when Swift dropped the previously unreleased “Mr. Perfectly Fine” — a 15-year-old song widely believed to be written about Joe — the Game of Thrones actress again shared her praise. “It’s not NOT a bop,” Turner joked about the track, to which Swift responded: “Forever bending the knee for the [queen] of the north.”
Watch Joe Jonas talk about getting tickets to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour below:
Selena Gomez‘s headline-making romance with Justin Bieber may not have worked out in the end, but that doesn’t mean she didn’t gain anything positive from the breakup. In her new documentary My Mind & Me, the 30-year-old pop star opened up about how her high-profile split from the “Baby” singer, though painful, turned out to be the best thing that could have happened in her journey toward independence, confidence and self-love.
Gomez dated Bieber on and off for most of the 2010s, starting in 2011 and ending for good in 2018. Just a couple months after that final split, Bieber got engaged to his now wife, model Hailey Bieber.
“Everything was so public,” the Only Murders in the Building star said in the doc, which dropped Friday (Nov. 4) on Apple TV+. “I felt haunted by a past relationship that no one wanted to let go of. Then I just moved past it, and I wasn’t afraid anymore.”
The “no one” she’s referring to would be the millions of “Jelena” fans who rooted for Gomez and Bieber’s romance, many of whom continued to make their devastation over the breakup known on social media for months — and in some cases, even years — afterward. The public fixation on Gomez and the “Peaches” musician’s relationship is something Hailey also recently spoke about while appearing on the podcast Call Her Daddy, describing how she she sometimes feels “numb” from the hate she gets from people who think she “stole” Bieber from Gomez.
“I feel like I had to go through the worst possible heartbreak ever and then just forgetting everything at the drop of the hand, it was really confusing,” Gomez, who was recently photographed being friendly with Hailey, continued in My Mind & Me. “But I just think that needed to happen and ultimately it was the best thing that ever happened to me.”
The Grammy nominee also recalled writing her single “Lose You to Love Me,” which was inspired by her breakup from Bieber. “I text Julia Michaels and Justin Tranter and said, ‘I think I’m ready to just say I’m sad,’” she said, referring to her co-writers on the 2019 track. “We wrote the song in 45 minutes. The fastest song I’ve ever written.”
The song appeared on Gomez’s Billboard 200 chart-topping album Rare, which came out in 2020. A couple weeks after its release, “Lose You to Love Me” ascended to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, marking the singer-actress’ first ever No. 1 single.
“It’s about more than a lost love,” she added. “It’s me learning to choose myself, to choose life, but also hoping that people can find grace and peace in that too. The song is about knowing that you completely lost every part of who you are just to rediscover yourself again.”
