Don't miss out on the headlines from Hook Ups & Break Ups. Followed categories will be added to My News. Eric Dane's alleged girlfriend, Priya Jain, was 'blindsided' by his red carpet debut with Janell Shirtcliff, Page Six has exclusively learned. 'They never broke up,' a source told Page Six on Thursday. The actor, 52, brought Shirtcliff to Wednesday's Los Angeles premiere of his new series, Countdown, with a source claiming to Entertainment Tonight that 'the two have been in an on-and-off relationship for over three years and care deeply for each other.' However, Page Six is told it was the first time Jain, 27, had ever heard of the director, 41. Our source said Jain, who has been photographed with Dane multiple times, met him last summer and that they became 'exclusive' in November 2024 — right before he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). He announced his diagnosis in April. According to our source, Jain was 'devastated by the diagnosis' but stood by the Grey's Anatomy star's side. Interestingly, ET's source claimed that 'Eric asked Janell to be there for him during this time, and she wanted to show up for him.' It is understood told that since Jain and Dane met, she has spent almost every night at his house, where she has tons of clothes. The source added that the actress has even spent time with Dane's kids — daughters Billie, 15, and Georgia, 13 — whom he shares with Rebecca Gayheart. Gayheart, 53, has since clarified that she and her on-again, off-again husband are 'staying a family' and remain the 'best of friends.' Not only did Jain and Dane get matching star tattoos late last year, but the Euphoria star also gave her a tattoo with an at-home tattoo gun shortly after, it was claimed. The source added that the last time they saw each other was this past weekend, while the last time they were photographed together was mid-May. Reps for Dane, Jain and Shirtcliff did not immediately respond to Page Six's requests for comment.

Shock new claims about ‘doomed' Johnny Depp, Amber Heard romance
Don't miss out on the headlines from Hook Ups & Break Ups. Followed categories will be added to My News. Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's relationship seemed doomed from the start, but insiders believed there was 'genuine love' before it all exploded. The actor, 62, and actress, 39, are being examined in a new book written by Kelly Loudenberg and Makiko Wholey, Hollywood Vampires: Johnny Depp, Amber Heard, and the Celebrity Exploitation Machine. It features never-before-told stories from the pair's inner circle. Fox News Digital reached out to representatives for Depp and Heard for comment. Loudenberg told Fox News Digital that while the relationship quickly disintegrated, the love Heard and Depp initially had for each other was the real deal. 'The people, the friends we talked to on both sides, said there was genuine love between them and that it was authentic,' she explained. 'We tried to write that into the story. We feel that there was a love they had for each other. There was a special connection to each other, which makes it all the more tragic and sad.' 'It's probably why it exploded so much,' Wholey shared. 'It did seem like they really were in love with each other for a time. But we brought it back to this idea of Hollywood, the machinations of Hollywood, making everything distorted for people. 'It's hard to find love in a hopeless place.' The actors split in 2016. Picture:Depp and Heard first met on the set of the 2011 film The Rum Diary, which was filmed in Puerto Rico. The book shared that when Depp first met Heard in his office, he took one look at her and thought, 'Yep … That's the one … she could definitely kill me.' While Heard already had a girlfriend, Hawaiian artist and model Tasya van Ree, Depp would later remark to director Bruce Robinson, 'Don't worry, no leading lady of mine stays gay for very long.' When van Ree returned to Los Angeles, one crew member on set claimed Depp and Heard became 'locked into that death dance.' A 'mutual infatuation' quickly unfolded. A passionate kissing scene appeared to blur lines. 'It didn't feel like a normal scene,' Heard later admitted. 'It felt real.' X SUBSCRIBER ONLY The Rum Diary opened to mixed reviews and was a flop at the box office. In 2012, Depp and long-term partner Vanessa Paradis announced their separation. The book shared that while they'd never married, Depp reportedly gave the French singer and model $100 million in the separation. That same month, Depp gave Heard a $6,500 Palomino horse named Peaches and Creme. She renamed it Arrow. For his 49th birthday, she gave him a foot-long turquoise-handled knife. As a romance blossomed, Heard didn't appear fazed by the 22-year age difference. 'All the guys I date are older than me,' Heard told a reporter a year before she met Depp, as quoted in the book. 'It's actually a sickness, like an addiction.' The then-couple at the Met Gala in 2014. Picture: Timothy A. Clary/AFP According to the book, Depp's childhood friend Bruce Witkin said he was stunned that Depp jumped straight into another relationship. He encouraged him to remain a bachelor or 'go Clooney it up.' 'We were also surprised to hear from people that there were … red flags,' Loudenberg told Fox News Digital. 'I guess hindsight is 20/20. But if you have your best friend marrying someone that you have reservations about, but they're really happy, are you going to go and raise any major concerns unless you've seen something that really should tell you to sway them in a different direction? 'I think it was just small enough that nobody wanted to say anything,' Loudenberg added. 'And, also, from Amber's side, her friends and family, we don't know exactly what kind of red flags they maybe saw because we didn't get to talk to her about that. But I'm sure that both sides can look back on it and see the writing on the wall.' While Depp and Heard reportedly dated on and off throughout 2012, Depp vowed not to let someone like Heard 'slip through his fingers.' According to the book, as the pair's relationship grew more serious, Depp 'drifted further away from his small and trusted network of family, friends and staff.' Heard in court in 2022. Picture: Evelyn Hockstein/Pool/AFP Depp – also seen in court – was engaged in a legal battle with his ex-wife. Picture: Steve Helber/Pool/AFP In 2014, Heard was spotted wearing an engagement ring. By then, bitter fights were already occurring within the relationship, the book claimed. 'Members of Johnny's inner circle pleaded with Johnny to get a prenup,' the book says. 'They said he initially agreed to do so but then dropped it and announced he was getting married anyway.' Leading up to the wedding, Witkin spent time with Depp in the recording studio. That's when Depp said Heard wanted to get married quickly. She pointed out that Depp was starting to film the next Pirates of the Caribbean film, which required a six-month shoot in Australia. He would have to live there full-time while filming, and she wanted stability in their relationship. 'She wanted to get it over with,' Witkin recalled. '[His sister] Christi [Dembrowski] was there, and we both told him, 'So what? You don't have to do it. Don't do it.' We're trying to tell him, 'Don't do this until you get a prenup.' And Johnny kind of says to Christie, 'Well, you tell her.' Christi cried and tried to convince Johnny not to go ahead with it. I tried to convince him too.' 'The next thing I know, it's going along,' he said. 'And, at first, I'm like, 'Is this really happening?' It was rushed to me. I was freaked out, but what am I gonna do, not go? I gotta try to be there to support him, you know.' The book noted that, in 2015, there were two weddings in rapid succession — a small civil ceremony in Los Angeles and a larger celebration on Depp's private island in the Bahamas within the week. The LA wedding was 'hastily arranged.' And by the time the couple said 'I do,' the relationship was 'severely troubled.' 'Most of the people in Johnny's life were aware of the red flags in the relationship,' the book states. 'In the early days, Jerry Judge, Johnny's late chief of security, would tell [Depp's assistant] Stephen [Deuters] and [his wife Gina] about having to separate Johnny and Amber so they'd stop arguing. Whenever Amber travelled with Johnny, his team always rented out an extra hotel room in case a fight broke out, and they needed to be sent to their own corners.' 'It was hard to see because we knew him in his prior relationships, and it was never like that,' said Gina, as quoted in the book. 'Voices weren't raised. It was such a stark difference with Amber. But if that's what they want, then you're going to support them, and you're going to hope that it works out, and hope they find peace and happiness.' A new book will examine their relationship. Picture: Justin Tallis/AFP The couple separated in 2016, but it was only the beginning of a very public breakdown of their relationship. Less than a week after filing for divorce, Heard filed a domestic restraining order against her husband on grounds of domestic abuse charges, People magazine reported. Just one day ahead of their scheduled restraining order hearing, they reached a $7 million settlement in their divorce, the outlet reported. Their divorce was finalised in 2017. Depp said he was libelled by Heard when she wrote a 2018 op-ed piece describing herself as a 'public figure representing domestic abuse.' His lawyers said he was defamed by the article even though it never mentioned his name because, they argued, it referenced abuse allegations Heard had made against Depp during divorce proceedings. Heard said she was defamed by Depp when one of his lawyers called her abuse allegations a 'hoax.' A high-profile trial ensued in 2022 in which the exes accused each other of physical and verbal abuse. The jury awarded Depp $10 million in damages but also awarded $2 million to Heard. Depp's camp said the deal includes a $1 million payment from her to him to settle all financial claims. 'They both moved on and want to put this behind them and don't want to be tied their entire lives to this trial,' Loudenberg told Fox News Digital. 'Sadly, they might not be able to escape that fate,' Wholey added. 'This was such a huge thing. Anytime one of their names is printed, or there's some mention of the trial or something like that, they're together. Both largely don't live here anymore in the US. I think they're just trying to move on.' This article originally appeared in Fox News and was reproduced with permission.

‘Penetration': Barbra Streisand's wild celeb confession
Don't miss out on the headlines from Hook Ups & Break Ups. Followed categories will be added to My News. Barbra Streisand had a wild answer when pressed on whether she and her longtime pal Warren Beatty ever slept together during their rumoured fling in the '70s. The A Star Is Born actress and singer, 83, opened up about the NSFW matter during an interview with The New Yorker published recently, while discussing a similar anecdote she shared in her 2023 tell-all My Name Is Barbra. 'I know I slept in the bed with him, but I can't remember if we actually had penetration,' she claimed, per the New York Post. 'I swear to God, I can't. There are certain things I block out.' However, Streisand quickly moved away from the topic when the interviewer pressed her further about whether or not she ever slept with the Dick Tracy star, 88. 'But I know we're still friends,' she said, changing the subject. 'Every year on my birthday, he calls me and we have a wonderful talk about our lives, our children, and so forth.' 'So we're still friends,' Streisand added. 'I met him when I was fifteen years old, and he was twenty-one, I think.' In My Name Is Barbra, the star recalled first meeting Beatty at the Clinton Playhouse in Connecticut when she was 16 and he was 21. She described Beatty as 'tall with movie-star looks' and wrote that 'women were already falling at his feet.' Streisand was asked about her rumoured fling with Warren Beatty. Picture:for Fortune The pair have been friends for decades. Picture: Chris Delmas/AFP Streisand also wrote about an interview she gave Playboy in 1977 in which the reporter asked whether she was ever 'romantically linked' with the Bonnie and Clyde actor. 'I said blithely, 'One of my flings,'' she responded, according to her memoir. 'I was just tossing off a reply, playing the role of a jaded woman of the world.' Streisand shared details of her personal life in her memoir. Picture:for BSB Still, while Streisand and Beatty 'go back a long way,' she also admitted that there is 'some water under that bridge.' 'Recently, we were on the phone talking politics and who knows what else when he said, 'I remember why we broke up,'' Streisand wrote. 'I said, 'When were we together?'' After hanging up the phone and asking herself if she and Beatty ever slept together, Streisand admitted that they 'probably' did. 'I kind of remember. I guess I did,' she wrote. 'Probably once.' Whether they slept together or not, Streisand and Beatty have remained 'friends for life' since first meeting in Connecticut almost 70 years ago. They also each ended up with the loves of their lives, because Streisand went on to marry actor James Brolin, 84, in 1998, while Beatty married actress Annette Bening, 67, in 1992. Brolin recently opened up about the secret to his and the Way We Were singer's nearly 30-year marriage. 'The best investment we've ever made is our mattress,' he told the US Today show in April. 'And don't misunderstand me,' Brolin added. 'We're both lazy. We love to sleep late. We do a lot of our work on the phone, on paper, reading, right next to each other.'
