She and the music executive initially split and February 2015, but were trying to mend their relationship by appearing on the latest season of Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars.

“It’s going to be hard to watch and it’s going to be hard for me to relive this situation,” Toya added. “This show was filmed a year ago. I don’t know why they waited to so long to release the show, but it is what it is.”

The pair even appeared on another program, Untying the Knot, to try and reconcile while simultaneously making some coins. Unfortunately they couldn’t find common ground.

“I can honestly say after filming this show, I learned a whole lot about myself. I learned about Memph and I. We weren’t as compatible as I thought we were. It was crazy.”

Toya and Memphitz aka Mickey Wright were married in June 2011. She was previously wed to Lil Wayne, with who she shares a 17-year-old daughter.

Dating is hard even for absolutely gorgeous people like Paula Patton.

The 40-year-old actress revealed she’s having trouble navigating the dating scene since her high-profile divorce from Robin Thicke.

“I haven’t been doing too much of it, it’s kind of strange,” the Warcraft star told Essence. “Listen, I met (Robin) when I was 15 years old, and I have no idea what I’m doing.”

Together since they were teenagers, the pair dated for over a decade before tying the knot in 2005. After welcoming their son in 2010, they announced their split in 2014 and finalized their divorce a year later.

But while she may not be familiar with the ins and outs of single life in the 21st century, Paula definitely knows what she’s looking for in a partner.

“You know what the biggest thing is for me? Somebody who really likes to have fun,” she added. “I want a man, but I want a man that also wants to embrace his inner child. You know? Laugh. Have fun. Enjoy the moment. I just, I want to be happy. Life is too short.”

No doubt she’ll have an endless array of suitors once she’s ready.

Johnny Depp is unloading some of his pricey art pieces as his divorce to Amber Heard continues to escalate.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the 52-year-old is auctioning off nine paintings by renowned artist Jean-Michel Basquiat.

“Nothing can replace the warmth and immediacy of Basquiat’s poetry, or the absolute questions and truths that he delivered,” Depp said in a statement. “The beautiful and disturbing music of his paintings, the cacophony of his silence that attacks our senses, will live far beyond our breath.”

While the actor didn’t reveal if the sudden sale of his prized collection was due to his pending divorce, reports claim the couple’s split could be quite costly.

After initially filing for divorce for “irreconcilable differences,” Heard then accused her husband of 15 months of assaulting her.

But Depp’s lawyer insists the domestic abuse allegations shouldn’t have any baring on the financial aspects of the divorce, but added that a quick settlement would be in everyone’s best interest.

One way or another, someone’s going to get paid.

Happy endings do not exist. Author Elizabeth Gilbert, the woman behind the highly popular memoir, “Eat, Pray, Love” announced she is divorcing from the man she found love with at the finale of her novel. She made the announcement on her Facebook page writing, “Because I have shared details of my private life with you all so intimately over the years, I feel the need to share with you this recent change in my personal life.”

Gilbert and her soon-to-be ex-husband met on her journey of self-discovery after her first divorce and a break up with a rebound relationship sent her packing to distant lands. She traveled for a year to Italy, India and to Indonesia where she met a Brazilian man named “Felipe” in the book. After 12 years together, sadly it didn’t work out but she states on her Facebook status that the break up is amicable and she hopes the public will respect their privacy

“Eat, Pray, Love”  inspired the movie by the same name starring Julia Roberts.  Another author suffered the same fate as Gilbert. Author Terry McMillan’s memoir “How Stella Got Her Groove Back” also documented her journey to new love while traveling, and it was also adapted into a movie starring Angela Bassett and Taye Diggs. Sadly their union ended seven years after tying the knot when he disclosed he was gay.

Gayle King‘s ex-husband just had his a-ha moment.

It took over 25 years, but William Bumpus has publicly apologized for getting caught in bed with another woman back in 1990.

“I have been haunted with this life altering choice,” Bumpus told Page Six. “Though I have dealt with this privately … I publicly apologize for the major transgression that dramatically changed all of our lives.”

King and Bumpus divorced in 1993 after 11 years of marriage and share two adult children together.

He added: “I have nothing but the utmost respect for Gayle and how she handled herself with grace. Despite the situation, she kept our children, as well as my relationship and involvement with them, as a clear priority.”

“Gayle was a great wife, an excellent mother and a fantastic co-parent,” he continued. “I am eternally grateful for all that she has done and continues to do to enrich my life and the lives of our incredible adult children. I continue to be a work in progress and have spent the last 26 years striving to be a better man and father. I applaud Gayle’s continued phenomenal success and friendship!”

The CBS This Morning host recently addressed her ex’s indiscretion during an interview with Vanity Fair in which she was asked who she despised.

“‘Despise’ is a strong word,” answered the 61-year-old. “I’m not a huge fan of the woman I caught naked with my now ex-husband on June 24, 1990, at 9:16 P.M. – but I don’t remember the details.”

While it may be better later than never, Oprah Winfrey‘s BFF has yet to comment on his apology.

Former Model Wins $87 Million Divorce Settlement

ChristinaEstrada_DivorceCourt
Former model Christina Estrada just scored a whopping $87 million divorce settlement from her Saudi billionaire ex-husband.

According to the Guardian, over $54 million of the payout will be in cash and the rest will be in real estate, cars and other items.

Estrada was married to Saudi billionaire Sheikh Walid Juffali for 12 years and they share a daughter.

Juffali divorced the U.S. born beauty in 2014 under Islamic law without her knowledge. He then married another woman, with whom he had two more children.

Estrada has been living in London for the last two decades and was able to file for divorce under British law since she had no legal rights in Saudi Arabia.

The ex- Pirelli calender model released a statement condemning her ex and giving thanks to the British legal system.

“This process has been incredibly bruising and distressing. Walid and I were happily married for 12 years and have a beautiful daughter together. He took both a second wife and divorced me without my knowledge.

His use of diplomatic immunity to try and prevent me from access to a legally binding settlement set a worrying precedent. Having grown up in a middle-class family and having enjoyed a successful career until my marriage, I am fully aware that the spectacular life Walid and I led was immensely fortunate and rarefied.

And I fully understand how this can be perceived in the wider world. My focus now is to support my daughter and move forward with our lives. For her sake and the sake of our wider family, I hope we can now resolve matters sensibly.”

After recently celebrating their 11th wedding anniversary – and one year since announcing their split Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have reportedly ceased talking about divorcing.

“Jen mentioned that the divorce was going through very soon, and then a few weeks ago, things changed,” a source told Us Weekly. “It does not seem to be moving in that direction.”

Despite their differences, both actors have continued to live in the same home for the sake of their three children.

Insiders told the magazine that “Jen seems to still be in love with Ben,” while others claim “if it was up to Ben they would be together.”

Neither has officially commented, but for now it looks like they’ve put a hold on making anything final.
