Post Malone SPLITS from girlfriend Christy Lee... amid custody battle with his ex-fiancee
The 29-year-old music artist began dating the younger stylist shortly after he split from ex-fiancée Hee Sung 'Jamie' Park last November.
Sources told TMZ that Malone — real name Austin Post — and the aspiring influencer split up a little less than one month ago.
The outlet noted that it's unknown whether the breakup was amicable.
In January they were spotted together for the first time during a dinner date in Rome.
In March they appeared in a TikTok video shared by a fan who spotted them at a bar.
The pair put on a loved-up display, with Christy's hand wrapped around the singer's arm as they sat at the upper level of the venue.
The White Iverson hitmaker is in a custody battle with his ex Jamie over their three-year-old daughter, who is referred to in legal documents as 'DDP.'
In May he petitioned a court to hold the proceedings in Utah, with legal documents submitted by his attorney Laura Wasser stating that he is raising the child there.
Park filed a similar request in Los Angeles County court, petitioning the court for primary custody, with the pop star getting nominal time.
However, Post told the court that she strategically filed in Los Angeles for perceived advantages in the court battle.
Wasser pointed out to the court that the exes' daughter has a number of essential ties to Utah.
Listed among them was her nanny, pediatrician, music classes, physical education, and swimming.
The Texas-bred musician announced the birth of his child in June 2022 without disclosing her name.
At the same time, he revealed he was engaged to the baby's mother but kept his fiancée's identity private, with fans taking to calling her 'Jamie.'
Throughout his short-lived romance with Christy, the performer and his then-girlfriend were spotted on multiple lavish outings in Europe and the states.
In Park's court filing, she asked that her ex cover her legal costs, and also revealed that their daughter was born in May 2022.
Sources previously told TMZ that Post filed for custody in Utah because he and Park had previously been splitting custody down the middle in the state, but that it's also to his financial benefit, as Utah is less generous with child-support payments than California.

Love Island USA's Yulissa reveals how producers quietly removed her from the show over racial slurs
Get the latest entertainment news, reviews and star-studded interviews with our Independent Culture email Get the latest entertainment news with our free Culture newsletter Get the latest entertainment news with our free Culture newsletter Email * SIGN UP I would like to be emailed about offers, events and updates from The Independent. Read our Privacy notice Former Love Island USA contestant Yulissa Escobar has opened up about her unceremonious exit from the show's seventh season after videos of her making racial slurs resurfaced online. Escobar, who was one of 10 original singletons to join the reality series' current season, was quietly removed last month in episode two. At the time, the show's narrator, Iain Stirling, simply stated that 'Yulissa has left the villa,' without further elaborating. It was later reported that her departure came amid immense fan backlash over old podcast clips showing her using the N-word. The Miami-born entrepreneur has now spoken out in a new TikTok video to share the 'real story' of her exit. She prefaced the video, admitting that while she 'can't share certain things,' she 'will share the majority of what happened.' Yulissa Escobar was booted from season seven of 'Love Island USA' after racist comments she made resurfaced ( Peacock ) 'So, regular ass day. I did not wake up in the middle of the night, they didn't get me in the f***ing morning. They didn't drag my ass out of bed,' Escobar explained. She said she was sitting and waiting with the other contestants for the arrival of bombshells Cierra and Charlie, when she was then called to the front to meet with the producers, expecting it was just to film a confessional. But she soon realized 'something serious was happening' when a producer asked her to take off her mic. 'I honestly got scared, I thought something was happening with a family member or something. I didn't know what was going on,' Escobar said. 'They didn't really tell me anything, they just said, you know, a video resurfaced [on the] internet and it's not looking too good.'

She explained that at that point, because she didn't have her phone, she wasn't sure what video they were referring to. After the producers confirmed she was being sent home, she was taken to a hotel and left without her phone for two days while awaiting the release of the two episodes she appeared in. During that time, she 'was losing my f***ing mind because I didn't know what was going on. I just knew that there was a video out there. 'So finally, I got my phone back, and when I got my phone back, I was like, 'Holy s*** no way,' and it was a lot. It was a lot to take in,' she said, adding that she continued to frantically search her name on the web. 'And I was like, f***, no. I can't believe people think I'm racist. I mean, I get it, I said a word that I should have not said,' Escobar acknowledged. 'I wish I would have never said that,' she said. 'It is what it is. I can't go back in time. I am sorry that I said that word.' Escobar previously addressed the controversy in a June Instagram post, apologizing for using 'a word I never should've used, a racial slur.' 'I used it ignorantly, not fully understanding the weight, history, or pain behind it. I wasn't trying to be offensive or harmful, but I recognize now that intention doesn't excuse impact. And the impact of that word is real. It's tied to generations of trauma, and it is not mine to use,' she wrote. 'At the time, I was speaking casually in conversation, not thinking deeply or critically about what I was saying. But that doesn't take away from how wrong it was. The truth is, I didn't know better then, but I do now. I've taken the time to reflect, to learn, and to grow from that moment.'

What to Stream: Spielberg looks back at 'Jaws,' Clipse reunite and 'Bachelor in Paradise' is flirty
Steven Spielberg reflecting on his shark blockbuster in the documentary 'Jaws @ 50" and Clipse, the dynamic duo of Pusha T and Malice, returning for the album 'Let God Sort Em Out' are some of the new television, films, music and games headed to a device near you. Also among the streaming offerings worth your time, as selected by The Associated Press' entertainment journalists: Burna Boy 's eighth studio album, EA Sports ' College Football 26 and Season 10 of 'Bachelor in Paradise,' which will include contestants from 'Golden Bachelor' and 'Golden Bachelorette.' New movies to stream from July 7-13 — Steven Spielberg reflects on the 'life altering experience' that was 'Jaws,' which celebrates its 50th anniversary this summer, in the new documentary 'Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story,' streaming on Disney+ and Hulu on Friday, July 11. Voices include those who worked on the film, like composer John Williams, production designer Joe Alves and actors like Jonathan Filley and Lorriane Gary, as well as filmmaker luminaries from James Cameron and Jordan Peele to George Lucas. — Alex Ross Perry's experimental documentary about the '90s indie band Pavement ('Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain') will be streaming on Mubi on Friday, July 11. There are actors ('Stranger Things'' Joe Keery, Nat Wolff, Jason Schwartzman), the real guys (Stephen Malkmus), archival footage and irreverent stagings that help evoke the spirit of the band, and kind of tell their story, as unconventionally as possible. The AP named it one of the best of the year, so far. — Writer-director Mark Anthony Green's debut movie 'Opus,' a cult-horror about a reclusive pop star and a mysterious retreat, did not receive the best reviews out of the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. But it touts the kind of cast and intriguing premise that makes it a hard-to-resist curiosity, with Ayo Edebiri and John Malkovich leading, that begins streaming on HBO Max on Friday, July 11. In his AP review, Mark Kennedy wrote, 'How both could be totally miscast will haunt your dreams.' Kennedy added, 'Green wobbles as he tries to land this plane and what had been an intriguing premise to talk about fame and the parasitic industries that live off it turns into a gross-out, run-for-it bloodfest and a plot that unravels.' — AP Film Writer Lindsey Bahr New music to stream from July 7-13 — The rap record of the summer is here. Clipse, the dynamic duo of Pusha T and Malice, return for 'Let God Sort Em Out' on Friday, their first new project as a duo in over 15 years. They're as keen as ever; there's been no dull to either's flow in that time. And if that's not a strong enough co-sign, a quick look at the album's features will confirm its greatness: Kendrick Lamar, Tyler the Creator, Nas, Pharrell Williams, John Legend, The-Dream, Ab-Liva, Stove God Cooks and more are featured. — Nigerian superstar Burna Boy, a leading voice in Afrobeats, will release his eighth studio album, 'No Sign of Weakness,' on Thursday. It's a high-energy good time, as first made apparent in the percussion-heavy 'TaTaTa' featuring rapper Travis Scott. — It was one of the best-selling albums of all time. On Friday, July 11, Backstreet Boys' 1999 boy band classic, 'Millennium,' gets a facelift with the release of 'Millennium 2.0.' It's a deluxe reissue, now with a brand-new song, B-sides and live recordings. And that makes you larger than life. — AP Music Writer Maria Sherman New series to stream from July 7-13 — ABC's 'Bachelor in Paradise' marks its 10th season this summer with a golden twist. Contestants from 'The Golden Bachelor' and 'The Golden Bachelorette' are sent to a resort in Costa Rica to have fun in the sun and possibly make romantic connections. There's also a number of younger 'Bachelor' and 'Bachelorette' cast members who randomly get added to the mix. Jesse Palmer hosts with Bachelor Nation favorites Wells Adams serving as in-house bartender and Hannah Brown, who is in charge of Paradise Relations, whatever that means. It begins streaming Tuesday on Hulu. — Peyton Manning's Netflix docuseries 'Quarterback' returns for a second season. Cameras follow NFL Quarterbacks Joe Burrow of the Cleveland Browns, Jared Goff of The Detroit Lions and Kirk Cousins. Cousins was also featured in Season 1 as the QB for the Minnesota Vikings but in Season 2 we see him injured from a torn Achilles. He eventually parts ways with the Vikings (who drafted Michigan's J.J. McCarthy ) and signs with the Atlanta Falcons. All eight episodes drop Tuesday. — There's a 'Bosch' spinoff premiering Wednesday on Prime Video focusing on LAPD homicide detective Renée Ballard (who you may recognize from the 'Bosch: Legacy' series finale.) 'Ballard," starring Maggie Q as the titular character, is also based on books by Michael Connelly. — Chip and Joanna Gaines' Magnolia Network presents 'a social experiment' where three families live 'Little House on the Prairie'-style for eight weeks. 'Back to the Frontier' streams a new episode for eight-weeks beginning Thursday on Max. — Meg Stalter of 'Hacks' stars in a new Netflix comedy from Lena Dunham called 'Too Much.' It's a semi-autobiographical story about Dunham's life about a heartbroken New Yorker who moves to London to begin anew and finds herself drawn to a musician (Will Sharpe,) against her better judgment. An impressive roster of talent including Andrew Rannells, Naomi Watts, Kit Harington, Andrew Scott, Rhea Perlman, Richard E. Grant and Rita Ora make appearances. All 10 episodes drop Thursday. — Dexter Morgan takes Manhattan in 'Dexter: Resurrection,' a sequel to 2021's 'Dexter: New Blood.' Michael C. Hall reprises his role as the serial killer who hunts other serial killers. In 'Resurrection,' Dexter meets a secret society of serial killers led by a character played by Peter Dinklage. David Zayas continues his role of detective Angel Batista from the original. It premieres Friday, July 11. — The cast of 'Love Island USA' was so popular, they've got their own spin-off called 'Love Island: Beyond the Villa." The show follows six of the core cast living in LA as they adjust to the limelight and attempt to maintain their relationships. It debuts Sunday, July 13, on Peacock. — MGM+ has an adaptation of Stephen King's 2019 novel 'The Institute.' It's about a teenage boy named Luke — with an exceptionally high intellect — who wakes up a strange, unknown facility run by the government that imprisons kids with unique abilities. The sci-fi horror series is eight-episodes and stars Ben Barnes and Mary-Louise Parker. It premieres Sunday, July 13. — Alicia Rancilio New video games to play from July 7-13 — What's in the works for EA Sports' College Football 26? Dozens of new mascots! We're talking Oregon State's Benny the Beaver, Akron's Zippy the Kangaroo and the already legendary Pop-Tarts Mascot. Real-life coaches like Notre Dame's Marcus Freeman and Georgia's Kirby Smart are joining the fun. And your new cover models are wide receivers Ryan Williams of Alabama and Jeremiah Smith of Ohio State. EA drew a huge audience last year when it returned to the NCAA gridiron after a decade-long hiatus, and this season promises 2,800 new plays and unique coaching schemes to go along with slicker graphics and tighter gameplay. The real season is still more than a month away, but you can begin your tailgate party Thursday on PlayStation 5 and Xbox X/S. — It has been nearly 50 years since Atari ruled the arcades, but the brand has resurfaced recently with modernized versions of classics like Asteroids, Breakout and Berzerk. Missile Command Delta is something different, redefining the original shoot-em-up as a turn-based tactical challenge. It takes place in an abandoned bunker with plenty of locked rooms and other puzzles, so there's more to do than just protecting your bases — there's a whole mystery to solve. Maybe it involves Pong? Save the world all over again Tuesday on PlayStation 5, Xbox X/S, Switch and PC. — Lou Kesten

Rumours swirl about Survivor Australia host Jonathan LaPaglia's new TV gig after he is dumped from show - and it would be the ultimate revenge on Channel 10
Former Survivor Australia host Jonathan LaPaglia may just get the ultimate revenge on Channel Ten as rumours swirl about his next TV gig. The 55-year-old, who fronted the hit show for nine years before getting the axe, is reportedly in the running for an even bigger opportunity. Jonathan could be eyed to replace Jeff Probst as host of the US iteration of Survivor. Jeff, 63, who has been the face of Survivor US for 25 years since its inception in 2000, recently posted a video on Instagram in the build-up to the series' 50th season in Fiji. However, fans were quick to point out the long-time host's lack of enthusiasm in the clip, with a few suggesting he step down from the role and let Jonathan take the reins. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Former Survivor Australia host Jonathan LaPaglia (pictured) may just get the ultimate revenge as rumours swirl of his next TV gig 'Bro's not excited at all,' one fan wrote, sparking speculation that he may be on his way to retirement. '[JLP's] my pick for replacement host if Jeff retires,' another penned. The US opportunity would be a good move for Jonathan, who already lives in Los Angeles with his wife Ursula Brooks and their daughter Tilly. Jonathan confirmed last week he has been axed as host of Australian Survivor after nearly a decade in the role. The media personality will make his final appearance on the upcoming season, Australia V The World, set to air later this year. In a lengthy Instagram post, Jonathan said he was shocked by Channel Ten's decision to let him go, which was first revealed by Daily Mail Australia on Sunday. He also revealed the brutal way the network delivered the news - via telephone. 'Australian Survivor has seen some of the most epic blindsides over the last 10 years, but this one might just be the craziest of them all… because it happened to me,' he began on Instagram. 'I received a call from the Network thanking me for all my hard work and dedication to the show, but for next season they are "going in a different direction,"' he explained. 'Ratings had dipped a bit recently, and they wanted to do something drastic to shake things up. So for the first time ever, this is not a tribe swap, but a host swap. Yes, you read that right. 'I wish I could say, "Before we go to vote, tonight is a little different… no one's going home." But I can't. None of that non-elim bulls**t tonight! Someone IS going home. And with no idol in my back pocket, that someone is me.' 'I wish I could say, "Before we go to vote, tonight is a little different… no one's going home". But I can't. None of that non-elim bulls**t tonight! Someone IS going home. And with no idol in my back pocket, that someone is me.' 'I have loved and will dearly miss the immensely talented crew, all the crafty players, and our loyal, sassy audience. I'm a huge fan of this incredible game, always have been, always will be.' 'It has been one of the greatest adventures of my career to helm Australian Survivor, so it is without a doubt the hardest challenge of all to snuff my own torch, but here goes: "JLP… the tribe has spoken."' In what some are calling a risky move, Jonathan is expected to be replaced by Survivor: All Stars winner and former model David Genat - who recently made headlines after winning a whopping US$5.8 million (AU$8.7 million) on Deal or No Deal Island in the US. But not everyone is convinced he's the right man for the job. 'He doesn't fit the brief,' one source close added. 'He's charismatic, sure - but Survivor needs someone with gravitas. David is not Jonathan, and viewers will notice that.' The hosting change comes amid a ratings slump for the once high-flying franchise. The most recent season, Brains v Brawn II, saw viewership plummet to as low as 486,000 total overnight viewers - a far cry from the million-plus numbers it once pulled.
