Wonderwall.com is taking a look back at the stars who found love, suffered heartbreak or experienced some other major event in their love lives in mid-March 2022, starting with this couple… They’re getting VERY serious! On the March 16 episode of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” Kim Kardashian revealed that her boyfriend of just a few months, Pete Davidson, has “a few” — “a little more” than three — tattoos dedicated to her including one that reads, “My girl is a lawyer.” As for her name on his chest? That’s not a tattoo, she revealed, but rather a brand. “He wanted to do something that was really different,” she said, explaining that the “Saturday Night Live” star, who’s in the process of removing several of his tattoos, wanted something he couldn’t remove or cover up. “[He] just wanted it there as, like, a scar,” she added, calling her beau’s new body art “cute.” Pete previously got tattoos honoring his romances with exes Ariana Grande and Cazzie David … and subsequently had them removed.

Us Weekly reported on March 11 that, according to newly filed legal documents as part of their ongoing paternity suit, Maralee Nichols claims that when she told Tristan Thompson she was pregnant with their son, Theo, in April 2021, the professional basketball player responded by telling her he was engaged to then-girlfriend Khloe Kardashian after dropping $2M on an engagement ring for the reality star. “I’m engaged but I will be married soon. I told you I won’t and can’t be in [our child’s] life at all by no means … Why not wait till [you] find the right person to have a family with. Why would you want a baby with a man that’s engaged. You wanna keep a mistake,” he reportedly wrote on Snapchat while encouraging Maralee to terminate the pregnancy. He later told her that he and Khloe were planning to move to either Europe or the Caribbean in September 2021. The “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star famously fueled rumors that she and Tristan had gotten engaged by rocking a massive sparkler (one worth $2M, perhaps?) throughout late 2020 and early 2021. It’s unclear if Tristan and Khloe were actually engaged or if he was simply attempting to deter Maralee from having their baby: He claims the Snapchat messages are fake, while Khloe has kept mum on the situation.

On March 9, TMZ reported that Selma Blair and her off-and-on boyfriend of several years, Ron Carlson, recently called it quits again. The breakup came to light when the “Legally Blonde” and “Cruel Intentions” actress and her ex filed restraining orders against each other following a Feb. 22 physical altercation at her home. Both parties are accusing the other of instigating the fight — which went down after they split when he stopped by her place to drop off a TV — and insisting that they each acted in self-defense.

Season 26 of “The Bachelor” came to an end on March 15 with Clayton Echard and frontrunner Susie Evans revealing they’re now a couple after breaking up (twice) on the show. ICYMI, here’s how they ultimately got together: After they parted ways following Susie’s negative reaction to Clayton’s revelation that he slept with his other two finalists, Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia, the former professional football player realized he was most in love with Susie and broke up with the other two women … simultaneously. He then begged Susie to take him back. She agreed to hear him out, but after he professed his love to her, she told him that she didn’t love him in the same way, that she planned to leave Iceland alone and that she considered their relationship to be over for good. But not long after filming wrapped — she was in the airport on her way home — she slid into his DMs on Instagram to see how he was holding up. Following a lengthy phone call, they decided to give it another go. “That’s my boyfriend,” Susie said of Clayton on the “After the Final Rose” special. While they’re in no rush to get engaged, he’s moving in with her in Virginia Beach later this month. On March 16, they took to Instagram to share their first joint post as a couple: a montage video showing highlights from their rekindled romance so far. “So about those last four months,” they wrote in the caption. Clayton, meanwhile, captioned a slideshow of photos with Susie, “I met the most incredible woman that each and every day makes me realize how truly lucky I am to stand by her side.” As for Gabby and Rachel, they’re set to co-star on the next season of “The Bachelorette.”

On March 15, “Vanderpump Rules” stars Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz took to Instagram to confirm recent rumors that they’re going their separate ways. “After 12 years on an adventure through life together, Tom and I are ending our marriage. This ending is not met with resentment or animosity, no sides to choose. We have deep admiration for one another that will always remain and we cherish our friendship. Although we may be on different paths, we will continue to love and support one another’s happiness,” Katie wrote. Wrote Tom, “Katie and I are separating. I’m not quite ready to use the ‘D’ word because it’s too painful. Yes, my heart aches, but I’ll be OK. … Fully respect Katie’s decision, and we’ve had healthy, productive conversations about it. It would be far sadder if she decided to stay with me whilst not happy.” Continued the restauranteur, “We had some of the most blissful, romantic, fun times humanely possible over the course of our relationship. I’m talking heaven on earth level joy. She taught me so much about love and being a better partner. It’s hard not to feel like a statistic. Another failed marriage. I don’t look at it as a failure. As sad as I am, [I’m] still happy to say there’s no anger or bitterness. Zero. Still so much love for [Katie and her family]. I don’t think we were ever a model couple. Maybe we are model divorcées.” He concluded by expressing his love for Katie “one last time,” adding that she’ll be in his heart “always and forever.” The duo tied the knot in a ceremony officiated by Lisa Vanderpump in August 2016, but they didn’t become husband and wife in the eyes of the law until three years later.

According to TMZ, Shanna Moakler reunited with off-and-on love Matthew Rondeau in his native Rhode Island for back-to-back dinner dates on March 12 and March 13 — less than three weeks after she obtained an emergency protective order against him following a physical altercation that landed him behind bars. (The temporary protective order has since expired.) During one late-night dinner at a restaurant in Providence, the former pageant queen was overheard telling a fellow diner, “We’re okay — we’re hanging in there.” An Us Weekly source claims Shanna didn’t have “any intention of meeting” up with Matthew while visiting her parents in Rhode Island. “She did not fly across the country to see Matthew,” said the source, adding that the mother of three “solely went to see her family.” That doesn’t explain the back-to-back dinner dates, though, does it?! …Or the fact that Shanna and Matthew were photographed together in Connecticut on March 14. Two days later, TMZ reported that the duo are looking into therapy … with Dr. Drew Pinksy … to repair their relationship, though it remains unclear if they’re reconciling romantically or simply focusing on co-parenting their unborn child. (Shanna announced in early March that she’s pregnant.)

It’s unclear if they’re more than friends at this point, though Deepti told Elite Daily that they’re “trying to figure it out.” She also said at the time that she was single and focusing on herself.
