Kevin Gates and Brittany Renner‘s marriage is ending before they could even exhaust all the honeymoon phase energy.

The short-lived marriage is over, and Renner spoke about its dissolution during a recent interview with 92.3’s Bootleg Kev while at the BET Awards weekend. 

“We got married April 6 and divorced May 28,” she confirms.

But being that she’s Muslim, they can’t make a clean break until it’s been 90 days to see if she’s pregnant or for the possibility of reconciliation. She’s enjoying the rest of those 90 days, though, by using them to focus on herself. Still, she has no regrets about her marriage.

“What I will say is that I followed my heart, and that’s more than what most people can say in this world, and I have no shame in that,” she said. “I think when you do that, you get all the clarity you need, and there’s no stone left unturned, and there’s no regret. A lot of people, their issue is, even just in dating, in marriage, it’s people just don’t give it their all. They don’t just go for it. But I feel like when you do, you’re at peace with whatever happens because I gave 100 percent.”

When Renner first became involved in the Islamic community, it was met with skepticism and criticism. But her new faith has allowed her to navigate the transition peacefully. 

“I think the biggest thing that has become so freeing to me is that I’m no longer of this world. There is just so much peace. I feel so content. I just don’t feel like a circus animal anymore,” she explains. “People don’t have to respect it, people don’t have to like it. People miss seeing my ass cheeks and all that other stuff… But at the end of the day, the soul wants to evolve.”

For reference on how short the marriage was, we’re currently watching the NBA Finals. It was just during the first round of the playoffs when Renner and Gates sat courtside at a Los Angeles Lakers game days after he took shots at James’ marriage to Savannah. It even prompted a subliminal response from the NBA champion, captioning an Instagram post, “Kings don’t concern themselves with the opinions of peasants.”

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines.

After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations. According to BBC, the plan reportedly hands control to a group of U.S. investors, sidestepping a shutdown. Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
