Over two months after New England Patriots defensive lineman Christian Barmore was hit with domestic assault charges ... officials in Massachusetts have now dropped the case against him -- saying that it was "not viable for prosecution."

The decision came down moments ago in an Attleboro courtroom ... where prosecutors said that following the updated information, they were going to file notice to formally drop the case against Barmore.

"Mr. Barmore is grateful to the District Attorney's Office for carefully evaluating the facts,
reviewing the materials that his attorney shared with them, and acting in the interests of justice," David Meier, Barmore's attorney, said in a statement

He was initially charged in connection with an incident that occurred in August 2025. According to a police report, obtained by TMZ Sports, a woman told cops that Barmore became angry with her after a disagreement over the temperature of the bedroom air conditioner.

Former NBA star Dwight Howard filed for divorce from his wife Amber Howard -- hours after she made bombshell accusations against him online, TMZ has learned. 

According to court docs obtained by TMZ, Dwight filed for divorce on Monday morning. He listed the date of marriage as January 11, 2025, but said they are not separated, with no hope of reconciliation. 

Dwight said the marriage was “irretrievably broken.” He noted that they had no children. 

Dak Prescott and Sarah Jane Ramos' split a month before their wedding had nothing to do with money -- sources tell TMZ Sports the "report" making rounds on social media is complete B.S.

The speculation started shortly after we broke the news on Saturday -- one rumor getting picked up is that Sarah Jane didn't want to sign off on Dak protecting his assets if their marriage went south ... leading to the argument in the Bahamas that ultimately ended their engagement.

We made some calls ... and our sources tell us it's simply not true for a couple of reasons.

The NHL is catching serious heat after disciplining Tampa Bay Lightning forward Brandon Hagel ... 'cause a lot of hockey fans think the punishment didn’t go nearly far enough.

The league announced Monday it has fined Hagel $5,000 -- the maximum allowed under the NHL’s collective bargaining agreement -- after determining he was the aggressor in an altercation with Buffalo Sabres captain Rasmus Dahlin during Sunday's heated matchup.

Notably, Hagel was not suspended … a decision that has sparked plenty of outrage online.

Many fans argued the hit -- which came after Dahlin appeared to disengage from the play -- warranted a suspension instead of what amounts to the league’s standard maximum fine.

Pat Mahomes Sr. is staying out of prison for now -- a judge decided to keep the former major leaguer on probation.

The former MLB pitcher appeared before a Smith County judge Monday after prosecutors accused him of violating the terms of his probation tied to his 2024 felony DWI case.

Mahomes Sr. has been serving five years’ probation after pleading guilty, but authorities claimed he broke the terms of his probation by allegedly drinking alcohol -- with the probation violation report stating he had a high reading on his SCRAM alcohol ankle monitor on Jan. 1.

Dak Prescott and Sarah Jane Ramos have informed their wedding guests the ceremony is officially off ... and TMZ Sports has obtained the email the former couple sent out to apologize for the last-minute cancellation.

We received the note from one of the 250 people slated to attend the destination wedding in Lake Como, Italy on April 10 ... which reads as follows:

"It is with heavy hearts that we privately inform our attendees that we have made the very difficult decision to cancel our wedding. We deeply apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you and we welcome your prayers."

Jake Paul is making sure his “queen” rides in style after her latest medal haul … gifting girlfriend Jutta Leerdam a brand-new bronze Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer showed off the surprise in an Instagram post … revealing he hooked his fiancée Leerdam up with the flashy SUV after she “worked hard for the gold and silver.”

“Only the best for my queen,” Paul wrote. “She worked hard for the gold and silver so I got her a bronze G Wagon.”

Tom Brady and Alix Earle aren’t doing much to quiet those dating rumors ... the two just popped up at the same glitzy event!

Before anyone calls it an official couple's debut, though ... they played it smart, not posing together at the opening preview of the new Zero Bond location at Wynn Las Vegas on Saturday.

The retired quarterback was all smiles, snapping pics with big names like Michael Rubin, LeBron James, and Corey Gamble ... while influencer Alix kept things cute in a baby-blue look as she posed with friends.

Neither has confirmed they’re dating, and it’s possible they just run in the same circles. But as we reported last month ... sources told us the two were showing a pretty strong spark when they were both in San Francisco for Super Bowl festivities.

Yes, there’s a noticeable age gap ... but Brady’s been single since his split from Gisele Bündchen, and Alix recently called it quits with Braxton Berrios ... so the timing lines up.

He's baaaaaaack!

Logan Paul wasn’t making it up when he said WWE stepped in and shut down his $1 million fight challenge to NFL players -- because TMZ Sports has learned the company really did make the call.

A WWE source tells us executives contacted the social media star directly and made it clear they don’t want him stepping into a boxing ring with football players right now due to his wrestling commitments.

The directive comes after Paul boldly claimed “not a single football player could beat me in a boxing match” and offered up $1 million to anyone willing to prove him wrong.

Several players quickly jumped at the opportunity -- including Le’Veon Bell, Dion Dawkins, Tae Crowder, Brock Hoff and Breiden Fehoko -- all signaling they’d happily lace up the gloves.

But before anything could materialize, Paul said WWE told him the fights were off -- no other excuses, we're told.

Winnie Harlow made quite the fashion statement during an event -- she stepped out in a sheer outfit without a bra ... and her confidence certainly turned heads.

The Canadian model pulled up to the star-studded event at Gekko Miami over the weekend to celebrate "The CEO Club" Prime Video docuseries, which features Harlow, Serena Williams, and others.

Harlow later shared her glam pics with her 9 million Instagram followers in honor of International Women's Day on Sunday ... and her outfit left little to the imagination.

If you're unfamiliar with Lins, he holds a professional MMA record of 18-5, with four of his wins coming in the UFC. He also made stops along the way in Bellator and the PFL, where he won the $1 million tournament in 2018.

1:39 PM PT -- It didn't take too long for Tagovailoa to find a new home ... the Atlanta Falcons are reportedly signing the quarterback to a one-year minimum deal.

It won't be official until he's released on Wednesday.

Tua Tagovailoa's time in Miami is over -- the Dolphins have decided they will release the quarterback after six seasons and two playoff appearances.

The news came out minutes ago that just two seasons after Tagovailoa -- the fifth overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft -- signed a four-year extension worth $212 million ... the team is looking for a new leader under center.

The Dolphins will release the signal-caller as a post-June 1 cut ... leaving them an NFL-record $99 million in dead money to spread over two years.

"Wearing this jersey and representing this city has been one of the greatest joys of my life," Tagovailoa said after the news.

Floyd Mayweather's decision to unretire has some fans believing the 50-0 fighter is running out of money ... but Shawn Porter tells TMZ Sports he's not broke ... he just can't stay away from the sport he loves.

We spoke with Porter -- who retired from boxing in 2021 -- after Mayweather announced his return to the pro ring for a rematch with Manny Pacquiao in September, on top of exhibitions with Mike Tyson and Mike Zambidis.

That said, many are questioning whether "Money" has no money ... or if he's really just been champing at the bit to punch some faces again ... but Porter can explain.
