The news comes via PEOPLE which reports that the season 4 star, 29, and the doctor of nurse practice have called it quits less than a year after getting engaged.
“Ultimately, we realized we’re in two different places in life right now,” Glaze exclusively told PEOPLE at the DirecTV x PEOPLE EW Reality TV Party on Thursday, Sept. 26.
He added that their split was mutual and amicable while calling it a “very positive experience.
“It’s okay. Things happen, and we’re not ruling each other out. Time will only tell. She understands that, I understand it, and we’re just moving forward.”
As previously reported, Chay Barnes was one of several Black women Glaze apologized to in 2023 after some of his anti-Black women tweets surfaced on Twitter.
The Love Is Blind star apologized profusely noting that the tweets that downed Black women in favor of Latinas were written in his teenage years. He also called out Barnes personally saying he “pushed her away” and vowed to never do so again.
“Please allow me the space to again, take accountability for those tweets from 2014 and earlier,” wrote the Love Is Blind star at the time. “2023 Marshall is ashamed of the young, less developed and immature version who published those tweets. This time let me direct a public apology to some of the phenomenal Black women in life. Let this be an apology to all of the incredible Black women around the globe.”
[…]
“Last but certainly not least, this Queen,” wrote Marshall about Chay. “Chay…you deserve the biggest apology out of them all. You have been sidelined by me for reasons that I can’t even begin to explain. You stuck by me even when I pushed you away. Never again.” @ChayBarnes”
Fans were first introduced to Glaze on season 4 of Love Is Blind, where he initially got engaged to Jackalina Bonds. The two formed an intense emotional bond in the pods but the dental assistant’s interest seemed to fade on their honeymoon in Quintana Roo, Mexico.
The couple’s troubles continued when they returned home to Seattle and Jackie ultimately decided not to show up for her wedding dress fitting, resulting in the couple calling off their wedding.

After their relationship ended post-pods, Glaze introduced Barnes, a nurse practitioner and midwife, during the After the Altar special in September 2023. He told fellow cast member Brett Brown that he had deep feelings for Barnes, saying;
“I do know that’s who I want to spend my life with.”

The Purge?!?! Donald Trump Calls For ‘One Really Violent Day’ Of Policing To ‘End Crime Immediately’

Donald Trump wants a lot of people dead. You call that hyperbole if you want to, but how else would you explain his handling of COVID-19, his insurrection-inspiring speech following the 2016 election, or…his latest campaign speech that is going viral for calling for a real-life version of the film The Purge?
Trump was stumping for his MAGA constituents in Erie, Pennsylvania this weekend when he went on a very dangerous rant about how he would like to “end” crime in America. It sounds unimaginable that a person vying to become President of The United States would say something like this but here’s Trump’s stream-of-consciousness policy stance to thwarting criminal activity.
He continued:
Don’t take our “fake news” word for it, watch and listen to the words coming straight from the horse’s mouth in the video below.
That wasn’t the end of Trump’s tirade. He then aimed his pointed jabs at President Joe Biden, who he’s no longer running against, and Vice President Kamala Harris, who is now surging in the polls.
Via NPR:
This is who Republicans want to lead the nation. November 5 is fast approaching. Please, go vote.

Travis Kelce’s Teammates Wear Shirts Supporting Star Amid Slow Start
SLIDERTravis Kelce might be feeling the criticism online … but, he was only feeling love in his locker room Sunday — ’cause his teammates wore shirts to back their captain.
CBS Sports reporter Tracy Wolfson posted pics of the tight end’s colleagues decked out in black t-shirts with photos of the star adorning the front and back of the gear.
According to her, the shirts were purchased by K.C. wide receiver Rashee Rice “to honor their leader and a guy who has mentored all of them.”
Worth noting … the shirts were made by Dreamathon — the name is written on the back — which the Chiefs previously bought shirts from in support of running back Isiah Pacheco who was injured earlier this month.
While Kelce was feeling the love from his teammate … his actual love couldn’t make it to the game it seems. No Taylor Swift sighting at SoFi stadium today — and, nothing online indicating she’s there.
It’s the second game in a row Taylor’s skipped. Remember, she didn’t make the trek down to Atlanta last week to watch Kelce’s team beat up on the Falcons despite going to the first two weeks of the season.
Of course, Taylor’s receiving her own level of criticism because of Kelce’s slow start to the year … with some beginning to brand the pop star as cursed.
Kelce’s doing his part to put those rumors to rest BTW … coming up with a huge 38-yard catch early on — his longest of the season.
We’ll have to wait and see how this one turns out for Travis … but, looks like his guys still got his back.

Travis Hunter puts on a show in Central Florida during Colorado’s dominating win over UCF and takes over the Heisman conversation.
Saturday’s during college football season are unpredictable and despite how good or bad a team is you have to watch just in case. Yesterday in central Florida we saw Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes give their first true dominate performance.

Since Sanders became coach Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter have shined but we have yet to see the entire team click at a high level.
Colorado won 48-21 and it was more of a coming out party and a huge I told you so. For those who thought Colorado wouldn’t be a problem, eyebrows were raised.
Travis Hunter led the way and after a nice interception did the unthinkable hitting the Heisman pose in the end zone.
Travis Hunter is undoubtedly the best player in college football and should be in the running for the trophy regardless of Colorado’s standing. However, down in Tuscaloosa, 17-year-old true freshman Ryan Williams is putting on a show every Saturday as well. It’s shaping up to be a back-and-forth battle between the two however Travis playing on offense and defense is just spectacular.
Who has your vote in the Heisman race of 2024?

Future seems to have an endless supply of both new music and women willing to be on his arm.
The Mixtape Pluto rapper popped out at this year’s Business of Fashion 500 Gala in Paris with a new woman. Fans have identified her as singer Donna Dafi. It’s unclear whether the pair are collaborators or a new couple, but both seem equally likely with Future’s track record.
Future was also joined by the likes of Kylie Jenner, WizKid and Victoria Beckham, along with over 400 other industry leaders and former BOF honorees.
Future’s Latest Launch Receives Mixed Reactions
Related Stories
The Atlanta-born rapper has released his new mixtape, controversially on the same day as Gunna‘s latest album, to mixed reviews from his loyal fanbase.
Even though it’s his third offering in a year, his diehard day-ones don’t seem to feel their leader’s newest vibes.
Future‘s recent visual references have paid tribute to DMX and his cousin Rico Wade but people have noticed that he’s been pretty mum on posting anything from his personal life lately. Still, he is poised to record his third No.1 album this year if predictions hold up for his first week of sales. He also provided fans with the opportunity to grab physical copies of Mixtape Pluto in both CD and vinyl formats.
The success of his current mixtape comes just six months after he helped to fire the warning shot that would become one of the most prolific rap battles in hip-hop history between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. After turning his “We Still Don’t Trust You” album into a successful tour, music fans thought he’d call it a wrap for the year. However, it seems like he has a few more hits up his sleeve.
Fans have noticed that the rapper has yet to release several songs for which he leaked snippets earlier in the year. Another Future project could be in the works before 2025.
You ‘Snooze’, You Lose: SZA Reveals She’s Going Through A Breakup While Rocking Bugged Out Disguise

SZA is definitely going through a little something these days, and she might be bugging out over boy trouble again.
During a recent episode of Hot Ones, in which she donned a bug mask, the “Snooze” singer admitted that she’s in the midst of a breakup.
Her answer came after host Sean Evans asked her where she was in life and tried to get to the bottom of her bug costume.
SZA has been outspoken throughout the summer about what she desires in love, including saying she wants to be “choked in it.”

She did, however, seem to moderately enjoy her time on the show and was able to get Evans to open up more about himself.
She went on to infer that his singlehood was due to him putting Hot Ones before his dating life.
SZA seems…fun.
More Than 50 People Accuse Diddy Of Abuse After Sex Trafficking Arrest, Lawyers Anticipate More Than 100 Alleged Victims Will Come Forward
CELEBRITY NEWS, NEWSAfter Sean “Diddy” Combs was denied bail for sex trafficking charges, more than 50 new accusers “felt safe” to come forward with decades of abuse accusations.

Shocking allegations about the disgraced mogul aren’t the only things to come out in the wake of Diddy’s arrest and indictment. Like Cassie Ventura‘s bombshell lawsuit in November 2023, the federal case against the rapper inspired others to break their silence. According to Huff Post, more than 50 alleged victims plan to take legal action against Diddy, and attorneys expect that number to double by next week.
The news came from Tony Buzbee, who represented more than 100 victims of the deadly Astroworld tragedy against Travis Scott. Now the Houston-based attorney’s next epic legal battle will take place against a much bigger industry titan. Working with AVA Law Group, Buzbee announced his firm’s plans to “act as Lead Counsel to pursue claims on behalf of more than fifty individuals who suffered sexual assault and abuse at the hands of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and his cohorts.”
Read more about what lawyers say to expect from as many as 100 accusers in the aftermath of Diddy’s arrest after the flip.
Lawyers Predict More Than 100 New Alleged Victims Will Take Legal Action Against Diddy

In addition to the staggering number of clients taking legal action so far, Buzbee expects “the group seeking redress will grow as this case progresses” and “many other individuals” implicated.
AVA Law Group’s managing partner predicted more than 100 new accusers just two weeks after Diddy’s arrest. Prosecutors asserted that Diddy poses too big of a threat to witnesses, the ongoing case, and the public to justify release on bond. Considering that two judges agreed, denying the Bad Boy founder bail twice, Andrew Van Arsdale told Huff Post multiple accusers didn’t feel safe to come forward against Diddy until now.
The complaints span multiple states, over several years, and describe varying levels of alleged coercion and abuse. Due to the wide range of claims and unique stories, the firm will pursue the cases separately rather than filing a class action lawsuit on their behalf.
The announcement also came with the offer of free consultation for any other accusers willing to come forward against Diddy. The star maintains his innocence and reportedly plans to testify.
The attorneys will share more details about these cases in a press conference early this week, “where some of these stories can be told as the nation learns more and grapples with the potential scope of this scandal,” Buzbee wrote.
Jacob Elordi Basks Shirtless in Italy with GF Olivia Jade Giannulli
SLIDERJacob Elordi‘s letting his cares melt away under the warm Italian sun … flaunting his six-pack alongside girlfriend Olivia Jade Giannulli — all while some back in the U.S.A. are blasting his recent casting in “Wuthering Heights.”
The actor and his GF his the Italian coast with her family … and, clearly he enjoyed the refreshing blue water in the Mediterranean — launching himself off the boat and into the surf repeatedly.
He’s dripping wet in most of these pics … flaunting his six-pack in just a pair of navy blue shorts while his better half seemed to mainly stick to the shore and the ship.
She’s tanning in a lavender-colored two-piece bikini … brushing her hair and stretching out beside her man on the deck.
Not a ton of outright PDA here — after all, OJG fam’s on the ship with them — but, there are a lot of flirty moments between the two on the vacation.
The two look unbothered on their European excursion … so, it seems the controversy surrounding Elordi’s upcoming turn as Heathcliff from the classic romance novel “Wuthering Heights” isn’t getting to him.
ICYMI … Elordi has been cast alongside Margot Robbie for the film adaptation of the book — preparing for a UK shoot in 2025. The casting got people up in arms ’cause the book describes Heathcliff as a “dark-skinned gipsy” who was abandoned as a baby in Liverpool, a well-known slave port back when the novel was written.
So, people have always kinda assumed Heathcliff was Black — which JE obviously isn’t. Worth noting, the book’s author Emily Brontë never comes out and says it specifically … but, still, some people ain’t happy about the casting.
Jacob’s not seemingly letting the outrage affect him though … enjoying his time off before shooting the flick next year.

Kanye West announced an upcoming solo project titled Bully during his China performance and debuted a new track.
Since the release of DONDA Kanye West has been a free agent and tried to shake the table with his album independently released DONDA 2. The album was only available on the STEM PLAYER device, which let fans tweak the track on a handheld device. As expected Ye abandoned the project and then later popped out with TY Dolla $ign announcing a trio of projects. So far we’ve received Vultures 1 and 2 and now it seems a change of plans might be on the agenda.
According to Variety, during Ye’s performance at Wuyuan River Stadium in Haikou, China he announced a new project Bully.
Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen Ye upload videos on the piano cooking up beats so the new project is expected. As one of the greatest producers of all time he has earned at least a listen from fans and detractors. You could claim he makes his best music when his back is against the wall. During his most trying times, his talent has never wavered and hopefully, this latest project continues that trend.
You can watch Kanye announce the project and premiere “Beauty & The Beast” below.

During a recent sit down with Yung Miami, the 41-year-old rapper shared some harsh words about his daughter, who identifies as a lesbian, in front of a packed crowd.
The lights are on but no is home, per usual. The clip began to circulate around social media on Sept 27 leading many to point out that his stance further perpetuates harmful stereotypes about the gay community. The loudest voice; however, was that of Hatch, who uploaded a 10-minute response to her father’s ignorance.
In the heartbreaking video, Hatch shared that she’s tried to remain silent and accept her father’s views but now feels it’s time for her to speak out.
She continued,
She also took the opportunity to clear up her own coming out experience and how Boosie received the news of her sexuality.
The vulnerable cry for acceptance and respect was met with concern and also praise for her ability to stand up for herself.
Social media users also pointed out that Boosie leaned on his Southern religious background to condemn his daughter while but hasn’t used the same ideology to check his own transgressions.
Boosie has been very open about hiring sex workers for his underage sons and nephews in an effort to force them into manhood “the right way” and recently threw his support behind Diddy amid his pending sexual assault trial. The “Wipe Me Down” rapper also has eight children by six different women, went to trial for an alleged murder charge, and is currently facing up to 10 years in prison for unlawful firearm possession as a convicted felon.
A true upstanding citizen.
