April 14 He’d appeared on The Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise and The Bachelor to find the woman of his dreams. But during an emotional interview with ROBIN ROBERTS on Good Morning America, COLTON UNDERWOOD revealed he wasn’t living his truth back then. “I’m gay. I came to terms with that earlier this year,” said the former NFL player, adding that he regretted dragging “people into my own mess of figuring out who I was” on the ABC franchise. “I’m the happiest and healthiest I’ve ever been in my life.”…

Critics are slamming Lena Dunham’s plus-size clothing line with 11 Honoré for its costly pricing and limited sizing. The Girls creator, 34, collaborated with the size-inclusive shopping site on a “tightly edited” capsule collection that features only five items, including a $98 white tank top. “When something is called inclusive and stops at [size] 26, it excludes a large portion of the plus-size community,” sniped celeb stylist Marcy Guevara-Prete. And frustrated fans agreed, calling it a “poorly executed” disaster that “misses the mark” in many ways. “Lena feels like she just can’t win,” says a source. “She’s used to getting hurtful comments and feels this is just another outlet for haters to attack her.”…

After three devastating divorces, Halle Berry had pretty much sworn off men. “[As] women, we go into marriage thinking it’s going to last forever,” the actress, 54, said in 2017. “That’s what fairy tales taught me asa kid…. and I’m kind of anti-fairy tales today.” But that was before she met Van Hunt. Halle went public with the singer, 51, in September, and after seven blissful months, a source says, the Oscar winner is seriously thinking about tying the knot again. “Halle’s never been this happy,” notes the source. “If he were to propose, she’d say yes.”…

What a difference three years can make. In April 2018, Khloé Kardashian was just a few days away from giving birth to daughter True when she — and the rest of the world — learned NBA star Tristan Thompson had been cheating on her. She gave him another chance, but in early 2019, she dumped him after he did it again. Last year, however, they reconciled after Tristan put in the work to convince Khloé he’s changed. “The entire family has forgiven Tristan — they don’t even think about the past anymore,” says an insider. “He made mistakes, but he really is the nicest guy and the best dad to True, so there’s not much to be mad at him about.” Instead of heartache, Khloé’s feeling the love these days…

It’s over! Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodríguez have officially ended their engagement after four years together. “We have realized that we are better as friends and look forward to remaining so,” the former couple said in a statement to Today. However, their split was far from amicable. The trouble started in January when A-Rod, 45, was accused of cheating on J. Lo, 51, with Southern Charm’s Mad-ison LeCroy, 30. While the reality star denied that anything physical happened, rumors of a rift began to circulate in early March. The pair re-sponded by putting on a united front, with the former New York Yankee flying down to the Dominican Re-public, where Jennifer was filming her new romantic comedy, Shotgun Wedding. As Life & Style has previous-ly reported, though, the pics of…

Judy Joo knows first-hand how badly the restaurant biz has been affected by the pandemic.

Can you smell what The Rock is cooking up? A source claims Dwayne Johnson is considering running for president after a Newsweek poll found that at least 46 percent of Americans would like to see the former WWE star in the White House. “I don’t think our Founding Fathers EVER envisioned a 6'4", bald, tattooed, half-Black, half-Samoan…guy joining their club,” Dwayne, 48, wrote on Instagram. “But if it ever happens, it’d be my honor to serve you, the people.” Although the 2024 election is still a long way off, the actor’s “already started speaking with people who work in politics and reading books by past presidents,” says the source. “He’s taking all this very seriously.”…
