Rachel Uchitel, Tiger Woods‘ ex-girlfriend, is officially off the market — she’s now engaged to businessman Dan Donovan after a whirlwind 8-month romance!

Uchitel tells TMZ she feels lucky to be loved by such an amazing man … and her happiness is clear from her IG post Friday, where she shares pics of her romantic oceanfront proposal — complete with a kiss!

Rachel also shows off the massive 10.25-carat square-cut ring. We’re told the proposal took place at Santa Barbara’s Rosewood Miramar Beach hotel at sunset on the balcony.

Sources close to the couple tell us that while they met in person 8 months ago, they actually first crossed paths online, matching on the dating app Bumble 3 years earlier.

Dan clearly checks all the boxes for Rachel’s love of the finer things in life — he’s the founder of multiple companies … including Stratoscope, a security consulting business.

Rachel’s clearly found her happily-ever-after now, but we all know her intro to the limelight was anything but smooth — she’s infamous for her 2009 affair with Tiger Woods while he was still married to Elin Nordegren.

Linda Hogan — Hulk‘s ex-wife — is denying claims she was ever physically or verbally abusive to her daughter, Brooke … instead calling Brooke a “narcissist” who attacked her.

The mother-of-two fired back at Brooke’s claims in a lengthy Facebook post from just a few hours ago … claiming narcissism runs deep in the family — and, both Brooke and Hulk suffer from it.

LH then admits she may have spanked Brooke on one occasion and called her a couple names … but, claims she never treated her daughter as poorly as she claims — adding Brooke had a cell phone and could’ve easily posted all about this alleged abuse back in the day if she wanted to.

In fact, Linda says, not only was Brooke never abused … but Linda claims she was actually the victim of physical violence at Brooke’s hand — claiming Brooke got so drunk she broke Linda’s collarbone and cut her lip. She adds this is just one of many stories.

Hogan finishes off her statement by saying she’s done defending herself in the court of public opinion … and, may actually end up in civil court if Brooke keeps making her claims.

As you know … Linda called her family a mess earlier this week, claiming Brooke doesn’t talk to anyone in the fam after a massive falling out with Hulk nearly a decade ago.

However, Brooke came out and countered the narrative that her mother did nothing wrong … firing off that her mother was “EXTREMELY” verbally, mentally and physically abusive since her childhood.

A Florida man dressed up like Ronald McDonald got arrested for trespassing … and when cops told him he looked like a clown, the guy responded, “No s***, I am a clown, stupid.”

Police bodycam footage shows the moment Palm Bay police officers rolled up on the Ronald McDonald doppelgänger … and things get tense from the start.

Cops tell the clown — who police say is a homeless man named Chris Marlowe — to put his stuff down because he’s being arrested, and he responds, “Why, so you can rob me?!?”

When cops shove the guy into the back of their squad car, one tells him, “You look like a clown” … and he gives his blunt, and obvious, response.

The circus continues when police search his bag, which is full of a never-ending supply of red noses and clown costumes.

According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Marlowe is charged with a count of trespass other than structure or conveyance, and resisting an officer with violence.

Cops say the guy was previously trespassing at a shopping center where he was walking around talking to himself, loitering and serving no purpose on the property … and police say he was warned he would be arrested if he came back.
