Jaime King shares huge news after losing physical custody of her sons in bitter divorce: report
Jamie King appears to be firmly in Loverville.
The Hart of Dixie star is engaged to investment banker Austin Sosa following her contentious divorce battle with ex Kyle Newman, People reports.
King, 46, recently lost physical custody of her sons James, 11, and Leo, 9, and was forced out of her Los Angeles pad for owing more than $42,000 in back rent.
As a result, King had been 'staying with [Sosa's] parents' in the lead-up to their engagement.
'She is very close with his family,' a source told the outlet.
In new photos obtained by Page Six, King flashed her diamond sparkler following an appointment at Sally Hershberger Salon in West Hollywood on Monday.

King has only included Sosa in the caption of her Instagram post from last month, though she did not post a photo of her new beau.
'My God, I am the luckiest and most great mother ever. Thank you to Pammy, Chase, Austin, Gwendolyn and Carlos. Family forever,' she wrote alongside several images of her with her two sons.
In March, a judge ruled that King and Newman, 49, will share legal custody of their two children, but the filmmaker will have sole physical custody.
King was given visitation rights, but she would have to be supervised and could only see the boys three times a week. In addition to supervised visits, King had been ordered to finish six months of rehab for drugs and alcohol.

Her custody agreement was dramatically amended after she failed to complete a six-month drug and alcohol program that consisted of weekly testing, a 26-week parenting program and both individual and conjoint counselling with her children.
'I've never had to think about myself as sober or not sober. I stopped using drugs at 17 or something,' King said.
In October 2024, Newman filed for sole custody of the kids after claiming he found his ex-wife 'strung out' and 'drunk' while watching their sons.
The exes were locked in a lengthy legal battle over finances and custody when King filed for divorce in 2020 after 13 years of marriage. They finally settled their divorce in 2023.
In March, King broke her silence after being kicked out of her LA home for racking up more than $42,000 in back rent.

Golden Globes host's epic tribute to Perth after live show
Comedian Nikki Glaser is known for her devastating roasts on Hollywood's elite, but the touring star had only kind words to say about Perth as she departed the State following her Friday night show at Perth HPC. Gaining a new legion of fans after hosting the Golden Globes in January, the 41-year-old American brought her popular Alive & Unwell tour to Australia earlier this month. Sharing her favourite moments to Instagram from the back end of her tour, Glaser celebrated her brief WA stay by rocking a 'Perth' embossed red T-shirt and cork hat as she embraced Aussie culture. 'Brisbane! Adelaide! Perth! You gave me the biggest crowds and some of the very best shows of my life. I don't know what I'm going to do with these Vegemite and mushroom lady jokes now,' she told fans. 'Thank you for making me feel so welcome in your incredible country. And turns out, I look stunning in a cork hat? I'm already figuring out when I can come back. I love you!' Nikki Glaser enjoyed her time in Perth as she toured Australia. Credit: Nikki Glaser/IG / IG Glaser has made a habit of donning merch emblazoned with her local crowd's location, as seen in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, and Adelaide. However, the comic's deviation from her signature low-cut dresses was not Glaser's only attempt to ingratiate herself with locals. Audiences expressed their appreciation at hearing Daryl Braithwaite's iconic Horses anthem ringing out at her shows. 'Nikki Glaser becoming a Braithmate was not on my 2025 bingo card!' one fan said. Another declared, 'it was the most fun show ever!' after seeing the sharp-witted comic in Perth. If you'd like to view this content, please adjust your .

Glaser has enjoyed a near 20-year stand-up career, but arguably broke into the upper echelon of TV comics in 2024 following her viral Tom Brady Roast performance. The crowd-pleaser followed that up with her HBO comedy special Someday You'll Die later in the year, earning her first Emmy nomination. And the star's rise and rise has not yet reached its ceiling, with Glaser confirmed to be reprising her role as host of the Golden Globes in 2026.

Ed Sheeran's disturbing truth about life in the spotlight

The global superstar, who recently announced his 2026 Australian tour, revealed on Sunday that he's been forced to employ extensive security measures to protect his children from extreme fans. Sheeran shares daughter Lyra, four, and Jupiter, three, with Cherry Seaborn. 'It's things that people don't really even take into account,' Sheeran told 60 Minutes. 'Like kidnap threats and s**t like that. We've had attempted break-ins, things left on my car. 'It's way more sinister than just fans turning up and wanting selfies.' Ed Sheeran arriving in Perth. Credit: Ian Munro / The West Australian Sheeran is fiercely protective of his daughters and does not allow fans to take photos of them. 'I've had some real arguments before,' he said. 'I'm fine with taking pictures, but I just think it's weird with a four-year-old and a three-year-old.' But Sheeran accepts: 'To be within the public sphere, you have to take it all, the good and the bad.' 'We have a level of security that probably won't change until I pass away. That's just our life now.' The English singer-songwriter returns to Perth for the first Aussie leg of his Loop Tour in January 2026, marking his first national performances since 2023.

Tom Cruise's rumoured new girlfriend Ana de Armas takes aim at his ex Nicole Kidman by liking post mocking Aussie film star's appearance
Tom Cruise's rumoured new girlfriend has taken aim at his ex-wife Nicole Kidman by liking a post mocking the Australian film star. Cuban-American actress Ana de Armas, 37, and 63-year-old Cruise are thought to be in a relationship after they were recently spotted together numerous times at different romantic locations across the globe. De Armas took to Instagram to heart Celeb Mess' post of Kidman, which showed her face up close with the caption: "When you keep it real". The photo was reposted on Reddit, where fans of Kidman, 58, took to the comments to lash out at the War Dogs actress for shading their idol. "Lol let's see what she looks like at almost 60," one person said of her. Another person said it fascinates them when "people in their 20s and 30s are rude about people aging." "Like, where do you think you're headed? And do you know what the alternative to aging is?" they said. A third person hit out at de Armas for dating a "senior Tom Cruise", adding, "but sure Ana, you're the winner here lmao." "Having a one-sided internet beef with your boyfriend's wife from 20 years ago, this openly is just absurd lol," another person said. One more Nicole fan championed the Aussie's decades-long acting career, which has endured throughout her youth and more recently. "Looks fade, talent doesn't. Nicole's had a 40-year career. Let's see where Ana's is in 10," the Reddit user said. "Nicole Kidman has more talent, beauty, and grace than she ever will have." The furore comes after de Armas and Cruise touched down in London together on Friday after being spotted enjoying a leisurely escape aboard a yacht docked off the Spanish island of Menorca in June. Both stars cut a casual figure as they disembarked a helicopter, with Cruise wearing a T-shirt and jeans while his rumoured beau donned leggings and a sweatshirt with her dogs Elvis and Sasha in tow. The two appear to have been getting cosy, spending the days leading up to Valentine's Day and the actress's birthday in April together. Cruise and de Armas ignited romance rumours in February, when they were spotted strolling together in London. The actress subsequently said it occurred as the two were engaged in business talks with filmmakers Christopher McQuarrie and Doug Liman. And they are set to star in Liman's upcoming film Deeper, which sees Cruise star as a disgraced astronaut on a perilous deep-sea mission. Nevertheless, they are yet to confirm anything more than a friendship. In June, Ana said she was "really happy and proud" to have Cruise championing her film, Ballerina, after he paid her a compliment. The Chruch of Scientology believer said the John Wick spin-off "kicked ass." 'There's an actress that has dramatic chops, someone who's comedic, very, very talented," he said in May, adding: "Just a great actress."
