Wonderwall.com is taking a look back at the stars who found love, suffered heartbreak or experienced some other major event in their love lives in mid-July 2022, starting with this pair… On July 12, Page Six broke the news that, according to a source, Bradley Cooper and Hillary Clinton’s top aide, Huma Abedin, have been “quietly dating … for a few months now” and “keeping it really quiet.” The insider also confirmed recent whispers that the A-list actor dated Dianna Agron, alleging that the Oscar nominee “broke up with” the “Glee” alum when he “started dating Huma.” (“He was casually dating Dianna when he and Huma started, but it wasn’t serious with Dianna yet,” an Us Weekly source later echoed.) Gushed a second Page Six source of the new couple, “They are perfect for each other. They’re both into power and politics and human affairs.” The insider noted that Huma “has told a few friends” that she has a “new man,” but “she didn’t say who it was” and is keeping her relationship with Bradley “very close to her chest.” According to the second source, Vogue editor Anna Wintour introduced the duo: “Anna definitely played matchmaker. She’s BFFs with Bradley and adores Huma,” said the source. The New York Post’s gossip column reports that the couple attended the 2022 Met Gala together in May, though they separated once they arrived on the red carpet and managed to avoid being photographed together.

Selena Gomez sparked questions about the nature of her relationship with Nat Wolff when she stepped out with the former “The Naked Brothers Band” star for a dinner date at the Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood on July 4. It’s unclear, however, if the duo — who co-starred in 2014’s “Behaving Badly” — are anything more than friends. Selena hasn’t dated anyone publicly since her off-and-on relationship with Justin Bieber finally came to an end in 2018. Nat, meanwhile, started dating “Nine Perfect Strangers” star Grace Van Patten in 2017, but they haven’t been seen together publicly in a minute.

On July 8, TMZ broke the news that Braunwyn Windham-Burke and her girlfriend of about nine months, Victoria Brito, called it quits a few days earlier. According to TMZ, their busy work schedules and the former “The Real Housewives of Orange County” star’s bicoastal lifestyle were to blame. (Braunwyn split her time between New York City, where she shared an apartment with Victoria, and Southern California, where she shares a home with her estranged husband, Sean Burke, and their seven children.) TMZ notes that the couple realized it wasn’t meant to be while Victoria was vacationing in Mexico as Braunwyn spent time in Newport Beach, California. The webloid also writes that the two women “fell fast and hard at the beginning, but the spark didn’t stay strong.” Said a People magazine source of the breakup, “It just wasn’t working. They had great chemistry, but ultimately it wasn’t enough to sustain them and the long distance became too hard to maintain. … Braunwyn is heartbroken. She fell hard, she fell fast, and she loved Vic with her whole heart. The relationship ending, it’s devastating for her.” The insider added that the reality star, who came out as a lesbian in late 2020, is experiencing her “first heartbreak” because “this was really her first serious relationship with a woman since coming out.” Said the source, “She’s dealing with it as best she can.” Braunwyn confirmed the breakup on her Instagram Story, writing, “My heart is just broken. The breakup with me and Vic, it’s hard. It’s hard. … This was like my first long-term female relationship that just threw me for a loop. It’s normal.”

The identity of Rob Riggle’s secret girlfriend has been revealed: He’s dating professional golfer Kasia Kay — and has been for a while. On June 12 — a year after the former “The Daily Show” correspondent revealed that he was seeing someone new while simultaneously accusing his estranged wife, Tiffany, of spying on him — the funnyman was photographed holding hands with the brunette beauty while making their red carpet debut as a couple at the Critics Choice Real TV Awards in Los Angeles. Kasia — who competed on a 2020 episode of ABC’s “Holey Moley,” which Rob co-hosts — started sharing photos with him on Instagram in the summer of 2021, though it was unclear at the time that they were anything more than friends. In October 2020, Tiffany filed to divorce Rob following more than two decades of marriage. Though Rob and Kasia crossed paths in mid-2020, TMZ reported on July 12 that, according to a source, there was no overlap between their relationship and his marriage. The webloid adds that Rob’s romance with Kasia has “only recently gotten more serious.”

On July 11, TMZ reported that Joycelyn Savage — R. Kelly’s onetime live-in girlfriend and alleged victim — claimed in legal documents filed on June 13 that they’re engaged. In a letter to the judge who ultimately sentenced the controversial R&B star to 30 years in federal prison after a jury found him guilty of myriad crimes including racketeering and human trafficking, Joycelyn described herself as “Robert Kelly’s fiancée” and wrote that she is “not the victim that the government has portrayed.” Wrote Joycelyn, “Robert is not the monster that the government has described him to be. The Robert I know is very sweet, gentle and kind. At the end of the day, he has always made sure that I’m taken care of, and any other women he was with as well. … Robert and I are deeply in love and it breaks my heart that the government has created a narrative that I’m a victim.” She also called their relationship “amazing” and described the singer as the “best thing that’s ever happened” to her. According to TMZ, Joycelyn’s family “strongly doubts” that she and R. Kelly are actually engaged — they reportedly question why she never said anything about their alleged engagement before he was sentenced for his crimes. Joycelyn’s family has long maintained that R. Kelly manipulated and coerced her — and even held her hostage — throughout their relationship. She wrote in her letter to the judge, “The things that have been said about him — with me and other women being held against our will — is absolutely untrue.”

They have gone through ups and downs together … and realized they might have moved quickly, but they love each other and are still committed to one another. … [They’re] still in a committed relationship and take their relationship seriously. They wear rings now to show their loyalty to each other and as a symbol of learning and growing together, but the rings aren’t everything to them.” An E! News source added that the former child star and her off-and-on love are no longer planning to tie the knot due to “a series of significant” challenges they’ve faced as a couple. “[They] are together working through the tough times,” said the E! source.

According to a source, the “Outer Banks” star and the brunette beauty were “hugging and holding hands” and “really flirty” with each other while partying in New York City on June 30. “They were snuggling and canoodling in the car. They were definitely trying to be low-key,” said a source, adding that the duo “were out partying late” that night. “Chase and Izzy went to a party at The Box together. They were seen arriving and exiting together, and then they went to Marquee and left there together as well,” said the spy.

On July 8, Steve Burton filed to divorce estranged wife Sheree Gustin, who is currently expecting a child with another man. According to TMZ, he listed their date of separation as March 1 and cited “irreconcilable differences” (and not adultery!) as the reason for the split. According to divorce documents obtained by Page Six, the former couple did not sign a prenuptial agreement before they tied the knot on Jan. 16, 1999. The duo have reportedly agreed to consider all assets Steve acquired before they wed and after they split in March — as well as gifts and inheritances he received — as his sole property as they gear up to divide their assets. Steve is seeking joint legal and physical custody of their two minor children. (They also have an adult daughter.)

That’s my fantasy love. That’s somebody that I will always love. I will never have a love like I had with Mariah. If I had the opportunity — if it could be the way that it was, I’m there,” he said before referencing her hits “Always Be My Baby” and “We Belong Together.” While Nick hasn’t had a serious relationship in years now — opting instead to welcome a brood of children with various women — Mariah has been coupled up with Bryan Tanaka since 2016.

On July 6, Noah Schnapp shared a since-deleted TikTok video showing that Doja Cat slid into his DMs to ask if he could set her up with his “Stranger Things” co-star Joseph Quinn, who starred as Eddie Munson on the fourth season of the hit Netflix series. “Noah, can you tell Joseph to hit me up? Wait no. Does he have a girlfriend?” asked the Grammy winner. The 17-year-old actor replied, “Slide into his DMs.” Doja responded by saying that she couldn’t find Joseph’s social media accounts and that he didn’t “have a DM to slide in.” Noah then shared Joseph’s Instagram handle with the pop star, who previously tweeted that the “Stranger Things” newcomer was “fine as s***.” After the TikTok — which Noah captioned “thirsty Doja” — went viral, the “Say So” chart-topper went live on TikTok to call out the “socially unaware” child star for publicly sharing their private conversation about her crush.

In still more Bachelor Nation love news… According to People magazine, Luke Pell — who competed for JoJo Fletcher’s heart on season 12 of “The Bachelorette” in 2016 — got engaged to Amanda Mertz while vacationing in Rome on June 2. “It feels like a long time coming. … [I’m] really excited — and excited about the next season of life,” the former reality star — who currently works in commercial real estate — told People, which published exclusive photos depicting the proposal. The couple started dating in 2018, split for most of 2020 and reconnected later that year, when they “really started looking at life together,” according to Luke. “Sometimes our frustrations or our other distractions in life — a career, or things and logistics of life — that don’t align, they push us away. And then when you get some distance from somebody, you realize, ‘Wow, I mean, maybe there’s challenges to what we’re doing. Maybe we’re not exactly the same person, but we have way more similarities than we have differences.’ There’s something to be said for that. And that’s what it was for us,” he explained, adding that they’re now “excited about taking on life together.”

Will you marry me?'” he recalled of the proposal. The duo met through her cousin at a party on the beach in Los Angeles in 2015, started dating after she slid into his DMs, broke up for a bit when he “got cold feet” while focusing on his career and reconnected when the actor realized he “constantly kept thinking about her.” Said the bride-to-be, “I knew [he was The One] the first time we dated, so I was really peeved when we didn’t work out at first because I was like, ‘I already know that this is it. I don’t want to date other people!’ We just are so polar opposite in every regard, and so for us to be able to find a middle ground on so many things and talk through things and just have as much fun as we do… We are constantly laughing, joking, pushing each other to reach for our dreams and being supportive in doing so.”

Their busy work schedules and the long-distance nature of their relationship are reportedly to blame.

Romeo and Mia are both lovely young people, they’re very fond of each other and [his] family loves Mia.

On July 9, Noi Phommasak took to Instagram to announce that she and “Married at First Sight” co-star Steve Moy are going their separate ways: “Divorce feels good,” she captioned a photo of herself sitting on a surfboard. Steve later shared a far lengthier statement, noting that while he knew his relationship with Noi was “far from perfect,” he hoped that they would eventually “overcome the challenges” they faced and “build a healthy, functioning relationship.” He now believes they are “incompatible in ways that attempts at compromise can’t seem to fix or overcome” and that their relationship is “unsustainable in its current form,” he wrote. “After many attempts, I don’t believe we can get it to the point where it is functioning at a level that is healthy enough, while both of our needs are being met,” he wrote, adding that they’d “been apart for a little while now” and that while he was holding out hope that things between them would change, Noi’s breakup announcement was the final nail in the coffin. “Noi, I will always love you. I so wish we were a better fit. … I wish that our willingness to be flexible to each other matched the chemistry we were lucky to have. … I hope that we can remain cordial, and at some point we can remain in touch, as I enjoy having you in my life when things are good. … When things are good, and we are free of conflict, we fit so naturally together, and it feels so easy to just spend time together if we put our problems aside. Deep down, I know it’s not the right thing to do. There are too many things that I unfortunately can’t ignore, and proceed with this relationship confidently,” he wrote.

During an interview with Page Six that debuted online on July 7, Renée Ash alleged that she had a five-month affair with Addison Rae’s father, Monty Lopez, after he “misled” her and “lied” to her about that state of his marriage with Sheri Nicole Easterling. “He told me that we were going to be together and have babies together. … I thought we had something real. He told me a story of his marriage that convinced me that they were apart and in the process of getting a divorce,” said the 25-year-old beauty, adding that she dumped her 46-year-old beau in early July when several other women told her that Monty had hit on them in person and on social media. “I loved him and I believed him. When I found out about the other young girls, my heart broke,” said Renée, who’s just four years older than Addison. Renée also shared screenshots of alleged conversations with Monty during which they discussed a pregnancy scare and their plans for the future including eventually going public with their romance, which a Page Six source described as an open secret. “Most of Los Angeles already knew about them,” said the source. Renée, who apologized to her ex’s family, alleged that she met Monty through a mutual friend in March. In the wake of the drama, Addison and her mother unfollowed Monty on social media.
