Hello and welcome to Gossip Time, a weekly guide to the stars by Allie Jones. This week: a pop star and a model reunite, a divorcee starts dating again, and Katy Perry terrorizes another octogenarian.
Curious about Sophia Bush’s quickie divorce? We investigated her very odd, very philanthropic 13-month marriage here in a post just for paid subscribers. Sign up to get caught up!
Could it be? Karlie Kloss, Taylor Swift’s onetime best-girlfriend-turned-nemesis, was spotted at the final Eras show at SoFi stadium in Los Angeles Wednesday night. The former BFFs, who may or may not have secretly dated for many years, have not been spotted together since 2018. They had a major falling out around that time, possibly due to Kloss’s business relationship with Swift’s enemy Scooter Braun and that one time Kloss had dinner with Swift’s secondary enemy Katy Perry. But look:

There Kloss is, sitting in the 200s section at Swift’s show, like a real fan. According to Page Six, Kloss was accompanied by the model Marianne Fonseca and the fashion designer Misha NoNoo, who is best known for being a close personal friend of Meghan Markle’s. (Markle also reportedly attended one of the L.A. tour dates this week, but photos of her singing along to “You Belong With Me” have yet to surface online.)
Entertainment Tonight reports that Kloss and her pals were ultimately led to the VIP tent with the other celebrities. Does this mean Swift knew she was there and personally invited her to join the cool kids? That would be nice, though I’m sure Swift was also busy dancing to the best of her ability.
Swift has been leaning heavily on her “girl squad” since her embarrassing relationship and warp-speed breakup with Matty Healy. Welcoming Kloss back into the fold would be great P.R. They could do a podcast together or something.
In other relationship news, Swift’s ex-boyfriend Harry Styles has a new girlfriend. Styles, 29, has been spotted several times with the Canadian actress Taylor Russell, also 29 — most recently at the opening of her play in London. “Harry stayed by Taylor’s side the whole time,” a source told Page Six. “He was whispering to her and laughing and smiling.” My best to Olivia Wilde.
Also dating: Jeremy Allen White. After photos of him cuddling up to his estranged wife Addison Timlin came out last week, I said I wouldn’t be surprised if they reconciled, but now that looks much less likely. Here’s White and model/actress Ashley Moore making out for the paparazzi this week:
According to a source who talked to Us Weekly, “Jeremy and Ashley aren’t putting any labels on their relationship, but they’re hooking up as often as they can and are totally smitten.” Okay!
Leonardo DiCaprio, meanwhile, is keeping his options open. He has been photographed with several models and influencers on several different yachts so far this summer. The latest: Love Island star Arabella Chi. DiCaprio, 48, and Chi, 32, were photographed relaxing on Swiss billionaire Ernesto Bertarelli’s $180 million superyacht off the coast of Formentera this week. Tobey Maguire was there, too.
Somewhere in Pennsylvania, Yolanda Hadid is picking up the phone to call Us Weekly and remind them that her daughter has a very flirty rapport with the actor behind closed doors.
STUFF BY HILARY DUFF: Hilary Duff was also papped with Jeremy Allen White this week, but they weren’t making out, thank goodness. It looks like their kids go to the same preschool.
Finally, I’ll leave you with the news that our nation’s most troubled couple Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are going to trial with an old, infirm man to buy his house for $15 million.
Perry and Bloom reportedly bought the Santa Barbara property from 83-year-old Carl Westcott back in 2020, but Westcott tried to cancel the sale after he signed the contract on opioids while recovering from back surgery. Perry and Bloom proceeded anyway, and now the dispute is going to trial this month. Unfortunately, these kinds of disagreements have become something of a pattern for Perry.
