Alert: Jason Sudeikis is actually single
Alert: Jason Sudeikis is actually single
It's Gossip Time!
Hello and welcome to Gossip Time, a weekly guide to the stars by Allie Jones. This week: an actor is totally single, an actress/leggings entrepreneur is totally engaged, and Larry David is drinking espresso martinis now.
Do you remember the name Keeley Hazell? I first heard it in February, when The Sun reported that Jason Sudeikis had a new girlfriend and her name was Keeley Hazell. Since then, I’ve heard it a few more times, as Sudeikis, 45, and Hazell, 34, have been photographed spending time together in London and New York. In June, a source told People that the Ted Lasso star and former “Page 3” girl were a couple, and that they enjoyed “doing normal couple things, like taking walks and going out to dinner.”
This week, Sudeikis and Hazell were spotted together again, this time hiking in L.A. Sudeikis was wearing a red sweatband, and Hazell was wearing a little crop top and a gold nameplate necklace that says “Keeley.” Looking at the photos of them together, you might be thinking, There they are doing normal couple things, like taking walks, but guess what: You’re wrong. Because Sudeikis is SINGLE, okay?
When the hiking photos surfaced in the tabloids on Monday, multiple sources (or one very determined source using various funny voices) rushed to People and Page Six to insist that despite what it might look like, Sudeikis is currently unattached. “It’s not a romantic relationship,” a source told People. Sudeikis and Hazell are “just friends.”
Okay, so maybe they’re just friends now, but they were dating earlier this year, right? Wrong again. A source told Page Six that “they have been friends for seven to eight years.”
Huh. Well, the message is clear: If you see Jason Sudeikis at an Emmys after party this weekend, he definitely does not have a girlfriend and thus is totally available. (Keeley, when you’re ready to talk, please call me.)
Kate Hudson, on the other hand, is not single. A day before the Met Gala, she announced her engagement to the music producer Danny Fujikawa on Instagram.
Hudson, 42, and Fujikawa, 35, have been dating since 2016, and they had a baby together in 2018. Onto the important stuff: What does the ring look like? First, I must show you this headline from Us Weekly:
The editors meant $225,000, but it’s nice to have a little laugh. Anyway, according to the tabloid, the ring is a 6-to-8-carat “light brown” diamond set on a rose-gold pavé band. Reminds me of the brown diamond Colin Jost gave Scarlett Johansson in 2019. What do you think?
All I’ll say is Ben Affleck needs to come up with something better when he proposes to Jennifer Lopez again at Christmas. According to Entertainment Tonight, the two are already talking about spending the holidays together. “They want to be together all of the time, so their next big things are Thanksgiving and Christmas,” a source revealed. My next big things are also Thanksgiving and Christmas, thank you for asking.
According to Us Weekly, Affleck, 49, and J.Lo, 52, are currently on their way to Texas, where Affleck will film a new movie about a detective and a secret government program. That also seems like a big thing, but I guess to them it’s sort of normal.
In more happy-couple news, Channing Tatum and Zoë Kravitz reportedly “showed PDA” at Alicia Keys’ Met Gala after party on Monday. According to People, Tatum, 41, and Kravitz, 32, “did not take their hands off of each other” during the event. Another source told E! News they were “all over each other, kissing, dancing.” I hope that paints a picture for you, because they did not show PDA for any photographers present. Oh well.

I thought Kate Hudson had horrifically tiny nail tips but don’t fret, it’s just manicure trickery!
