Ashley Benson Dating Pretty Little Liars Costar Tyler Blackburn

Pretty Little Liars costars Tyler Blackburn and Ashley Benson are dating.

Life is imitating art for Ashley Benson and Tyler Blackburn, who play teen sweethearts Hanna Marin and Caleb Rivers on ABC Family’s Pretty Little Liars. In the July 15 issue of Us Weekly, multiple insiders confirm the costars are dating in real life. “He makes me laugh,” Benson, 23 tells Us of her beau, 26. “I have such a crush!”

The pair were first linked in April after they were spotted kissing at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, Calif. Benson was previously in a serious relationship with Justin Bieber‘s “swagger coach” Ryan Good. “I’ve always been in relationships,” Benson said in Seventeen‘s April 2013 issue. “And I knew I needed to learn to be comfortable alone.”

Benson added that she would be open to dating again if the right person came along. “If it happens, it happens. I’m 23 — I could have a boyfriend tomorrow. But relationships are scary, because once you’re in one, you have to face the idea of breaking up or staying together forever,” she explained. “It’s scary.”

Blackburn was the first person to be cast in the Pretty Little Liars spinoff, Ravenswood. The supernatural series will premiere in October following the annual Pretty Little Liars Halloween special.

Eva Longoria Dating Ernesto Arguello

Three months ago, rumors swirled that actress Eva Longoria was dating Miami-based entrepreneur and philanthropist Ernesto Arguello. While it wasn’t true at the time, it is indeed the case now, the actress tells PEOPLE exclusively.

“I think that’s why our relationship is so special – we truly started as friends,” says Longoria, 38, who met Arguello, 34, last year when he was cast in Ready For Love, the reality dating show she produced. (Arguello’s romance with his pick, former Miss USA Shandi Finnessey, ended in 2012.)

While the show aired this spring, buzz swept Hollywood that the two were an item. However, it wasn’t until recently that their friendship turned romantic.

“I guess we have the press to thank for pushing us to see something we didn’t see!” jokes Longoria, who just returned home from a trip to Nicaragua where she was introduced to his entire family.
“Eva and Ernesto are a perfect match,” a source close to the couple tells PEOPLE. “They both speak Spanish, have the same religion and the same cultural background.”

And both have a passion for philanthropy. Longoria recently accompanied Arguello to his native country of Honduras to visit the school he built in his community, and to see the homes he has built for impoverished families.

“Their friendship and their similar philanthropic interests laid the foundation for their new romance,” the source adds. “They’re very much in love.”

Kerry Washington Marries Football Player Nnamdi Asomugha

Scandal actress Kerry Washington secretly married football player Nnamdi Asomugha in Idaho on June 24

Surprise — Kerry Washington is a married woman! The Scandal actress, 36, secretly tied the knot with San Francisco 49ers cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha late last month, Us Weekly can confirm.

Records show that Washington and Asomugha filed a marriage license on June 24 in Blaine County, Idaho, though it appears the two actually got married in the town of Hailey, Idaho, with her parents as witnessses. Asomugha’s sister officiated. (E! News was first to confirm the marriage, after a story appeared on sports gossip site TerezOwens.)

“It has been recorded in the Blaine County clerk’s office that Nnamdi Asomugha and Kerry Washington have been married on the 24th of June in the town of Hailey, Idaho,” the clerk’s office told Us in a statement.

According to reports, the couple have been dating since the summer of 2012. Washington was previously engaged to actor David Moscow; they split in 2007 after several years together.

“Turning 30 was a time when I thought, ‘Wait a second. How much of my life really reflects who I am and who I want to be?'” the Vanity Fair cover girl told The New York Post after their breakup. “I’ve learned more about myself since leaving that relationship.”

“Coming out of an engagement, I don’t even try to guess what my life is going to look like in the future anymore,” she said at the time, noting that wedding planning was “hard” for her. “The important thing is to not be afraid of making decisions that are right for me. It’s my life. Not anybody else’s.”

Washington is currently on hiatus from filming her hit ABC series. Prior to leaving for vacation, she tweeted: “Ok. Logging off! See u in a few weeks!”

Jessica Simpson Welcomes Son Ace Knute

Jessica Simpson‘s tiniest fashion star has arrived!

The Fashion Star mentor, 32, and her fiancé, Eric Johnson, welcomed son Ace Knute Johnson on Sunday, June 30, her rep confirms to PEOPLE. The middle name honors Johnson’s Swedish grandfather, the rep explains.

The new addition joins big sister Maxwell Drew, who celebrated her first birthday May 1.

Although Simpson had initially planned to keep the sex of her second baby a secret, she memorably let it slip that she was having a son on Jimmy Kimmel Live in March, and later told PEOPLE she was looking forward to adding a boy to the family.

“I’m so excited to have a son,” she said at the time of her Tom Sawyer-themed shower in April. “I didn’t grow up with a brother and I think the unknown is really exciting. I can’t wait to have that connection with our little man.”

During a Christmas vacation, Jessica confirmed her rumored pregnancy news on Twitter when she posted a sweet picture of baby Maxwell sitting in the sand above letters that read “BIG SIS.”

Rachel Zoe Pregnant With Second Baby

Fashion designer Rachel Zoe, mom to Skyler, 2, is pregnant with her second child.

Looks like Rachel Zoe is going to need some new maternity clothes. The fashion designer, 41, is pregnant with her second child, sources tell Us Weekly exclusively.

Zoe and husband Rodger Berman — who married in 1996 — are already parents to son Skyler, born in March 2011. Speaking to MSN’s WonderWall about motherhood in January, the Rachel Zoe Project star and famed celebrity stylist said that dressing her 2-year-old little boy is her greatest joy in life.

“Oh my God, my husband laughs at me because I spend more time in his closet in the morning than I do in my own. And, you know, it’s incredibly fun. It’s like having a live doll. And he loves it,” Zoe said of her son.

“Right now, he loves getting dressed,” she added. “At some point, I’m sure in a year, he’s gonna hate everything I show him and just wanna wear, like, soccer uniforms or something.”

In the meantime, Zoe is savoring every moment with the sweet tot. “He’s amazing!” she gushed to Us Weekly last fall. “He just makes me laugh from morning until night. He gets cuter every second of every minute.”

Zoe’s rep had no comment on the pregnancy.

Kim Kardashian Is a Mom!

Kim Kardashian, Kanye West Welcome Their Baby Girl

The most eagerly awaited addition to the Kardashian clan has arrived – and she was apparently early to the party!

Kim Kardashian, 32, gave birth to her first child – a daughter – with boyfriend Kanye West, 36, on Saturday morning, a source confirms to PEOPLE. Her due date was widely reported to be in July.

West was by Kardashian’s side for the delivery, according to sources, despite a busy travel schedule leading up to the birth.

The youngest Kardashian will already have playmates her age. Kim’s big sister, Kourtney has two children with boyfriend, Scott Disick: Mason, 3½, and Penelope, who turns one on July 8.

“I’m so excited we’re having a girl,” Kim said on a recent episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, when she learned the sex of her baby. “Who doesn’t want a girl? I think they are the best. I know that’s really what Kanye has always wanted – he wanted a little girl.”

West publicly broke the news of his girlfriend’s pregnancy mid-song at an Atlantic City concert the night before New Year’s Eve. Kim later confirmed the news, posting on her website, “It’s true!! Kanye and I are expecting a baby. We feel so blessed and lucky and wish that in addition to both of our families, his mom and my dad could be here to celebrate this special time with us.”

Since announcing her pregnancy, Kim experienced some bumps in the road, including criticism for her expectant outfit choices and a seemingly never-ending divorce from Kris Humphries – that was eventually finalized just earlier this month.
