boyfriend

CHANTELLE Houghton has revealed she’s got a new boyfriend after being celibate for over two years.

The 42-year-old has seen a number of relationships play out in public after rising to fame on Celebrity Big Brother in 2006.

Chantelle had entered the Big Brother house as a non-celebrity but had to pretend she was in a girl band.

She won the hearts of viewers and it lead to her winning the series, and becoming a fixture on TV and in the press.

But being in the spotlight made it hard for her relationships, with her whirlwind marriage to CBB co-star Preston falling apart after just 10 months.

Over the years she has also dated TV presenter Rav Wilding and has a daughter with Katie Price‘s ex-husband, Alex Reid.

In 2021, Chantelle split from her fiance Michael Strut, after things fizzled out when they moved in together during Covid lockdown.

So for the last few years, Chantelle has focused on being a mum, and admitted in past interviews she was celibate.

But in an exclusive chat with The Sun Online, Chantelle has now revealed she’s in a new relationship with a mystery man.

She said: “I think my smile says it all. I have met someone. He’s not in the public eye, but that’s all I’ll say.”

Explaining her reasons for keeping her new romance under wraps, Chantelle said: “I feel like all of my relationships have been public.

“The two relationships I had before Big Brother were the only ones that were private, but they weren’t really proper relationships because I was so young.

“Every relationship I’ve had since has been in the public eye, and hasn’t been mine, almost. Especially with Preston.

“Preston and I were everybody’s, and I get it. I understand why people were invested, and I totally found that flattering, but it was hard.

“It definitely put a strain on the relationship, and that was one of the biggest challenges we faced.”

As well as being happy with her new man, Chantelle is also content with her body after years of diets.

Chantelle, who is working with Betway, explained: “I’m really happy with myself, and I feel great.

“When I was younger, I did the Special K diet, I did the cabbage soup diet, and I even did the ‘not-eating’ diet.

“I actually saw something the other day on TikTok that said, ‘Here’s to all the Special K breakfast diet survivors.’ I was one of them!

“I think back then, you really believed you could only get slimmer by going to extremes.

HEALTHY DIET

“We just didn’t have the knowledge we have now about diet and exercise.”

Last year, Chantelle revealed she had lost five stone through diet and exercise and she said: “These days, I’m so much healthier.

“I enjoy the food I eat, and I’m slim, whereas back then it felt like you had to starve yourself to get thin.

“Looking back, it’s actually very simple. Eat healthily, move more, and you’ll lose weight. But we didn’t see it that way at the time.”

LEWIS Hamilton already has the seal of approval from the Kardashian family amid his new romance with Kim.

The Sun exclusively revealed how the pair had enjoyed a secret date with one another at a luxury Cotswolds manor house.

Kim jetted into the UK to spend time with the F1 ace amid the throes of their new romance.

Kim’s new suitor Lewis is already well-liked among her extended family and has got the seal of approval from mum Kris Jenner as well as Kylie’s boyfriend, Timothee Chalamet.

Just two months ago, actor Timothee listed Lewis among his list of the five greatest Brits.

Whilst promoting his movie Marty Supreme, Timothee revealed that Lewis was among his British idols alongside David and Victoria Beckham, Susan Boyle and hip-hop artisit, Fakemink.

Secret link between Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton revealed

Timothee has been dating Kylie since April 2023 with the pair enjoying a dinner thrown by Kim in Malibu just last month with the reality star dishing all on the pair staying for hours during her recent appearance on Khloe in Wonder Land.

Elsewhere, mum Kris has long been a fan of racing driver Lewis.

Back in October 2015, she took to Instagram to dedicate a whole post to Lewis’ F1 win.

Kris said at the time: “Congratulations @lewishamilton !!!! We are soooo proud of you!!!!!!“

Interestingly, Kris went on to add “#family,” onto her Instagram caption.

Furthermore, insiders claimed back in 2015 that Kris saw Lewis as “perfect” and a “good influence” and reportedly sang his praises as a potential partner to her daughters – 11 years before his new romance with Kim.

The Sun revealed the world exclusive that Kim and Lewis had spent time together this weekend after she flew into the country on her £100million private jet from LA.

The mum-of-four and Brit seven-time F1 world champ enjoyed an ­intimate dinner and a couple’s massage as part of a romantic weekend getaway in the country.

She arrived with a mountain of luggage for her brief stay at the exclusive Estelle Manor in the Cotswolds, with three bodyguards protecting the couple.

Insiders said they were granted exclusive use of the posh spa at the country club in Witney, Oxfordshire, before ­having a meal in a private room.

A source told The Sun: “It all appeared to be very romantic. Kim and Lewis made use of all the facilities on offer.

“She had two bodyguards with her and Lewis had a close protection officer but they remained in the background.

“Two of the three stood guard outside the door to their room, so no one could disturb them.”

Seven-times world champion Lewis has known Kim for years, and was close to her ­rapper ex Kanye West.

However the pair have never been romantically linked.

Mum-of-four Kim touched down on Saturday afternoon at Oxford Airport, where two cars — one for her luggage — were waiting to make the nine-minute journey to Estelle Manor.

An hour later, Lewis, who drives for Italian team Ferrari, arrived at the Grade II-listed property by helicopter, chartered from London’s Battersea Heliport.

CARDI B loves bad boy Stefon Diggs, but one wrong move and she’s out, two sources have told The U.S. Sun.

The controversial NFL star is gearing up for next weekend’s Super Bowl, with the chance to lead the New England Patriots to glory in San Francisco. 

As The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed, the Patriots star has six baby mamas dotted across the United States, with the most recent addition to his ever-growing brood arriving late last year. 

Diggs, 32, and Cardi welcomed their son on November 4.

Incredibly, most of Diggs’ children were born within a few months of each other in 2025, fueling intense speculation and online debate. 

Amid paternity battles and feverish social media chatter, Cardi has quietly backed her man behind the scenes.

DIGG DEEP

Stefon Diggs ‘shells out huge child support payments to baby mamas,’ expert says

An insider told The U.S. Sun that she was fully aware of Diggs’ reputation from the start — and believes he has changed.

“Cardi has known since day one that Stefon had a reputation as a womanizer and had seen multiple women in the past, but her love for him is above all of that,” the source said. 

“She knows he has been faithful since they made things official and that he’s been transparent about his previous relationships, only seeing her since they committed to each other.”

The insider added that while Cardi “hates all the drama,” she admires Diggs’ role as a father.

“She loves that he’s not a deadbeat dad,” the source said. “She believes he’s a present, loving, and supportive father.”

Diggs’ first child, daughter Nova, was born in 2016, but his family has expanded rapidly in recent years. 

In late 2024, Instagram model Aileen Lopera filed a paternity suit claiming Diggs was the father of her unborn child. Their daughter, Charliee Harper Diggs-Lopera, was born in April 2025.

Diggs initially requested DNA testing, and by late 2025, The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed he was the biological father. 

The lawsuit was quietly dismissed in January 2026, suggesting the matter was resolved privately.

NO MESSING

Around the same time, Diggs also welcomed children with other women, including K’yanna Barber, who has previously been linked to Drake.

Rather than viewing Diggs’ children as competition or conflict, Cardi, who starting dating the Patriots star in October 2024 after divorcing rapper husband Offset, reportedly sees them as part of an extended family.

“She sees his children as an extension of the family and enjoys when they’re all together, spending time as one big extended family,” the source said.

“She doesn’t harbor hate toward Stefon’s exes or the mothers of his children. She doesn’t judge — she just wants everyone, especially the kids, to be happy and grow up in a stable, healthy environment.”

Still, Cardi has drawn a firm line.

The source said the New York rapper has been blunt with Diggs, warning him there will be no forgiveness if he crosses it.

“She’s been very clear with Stefon: if he messes up, if another woman comes forward with a baby after they became official and started a family together, she’s done,” the insider said.

“She told him plainly that if he cheats or has a child behind her back, it’s over.”

STEFON DIGGS’ KIDS

Nova Diggs

Born on October 14, 2016, Nova is Stefon’s eldest child and the most recognizable to NFL fans. She has been a fixture at his games since his time in Buffalo, often seen celebrating on the field or “negotiating” his contracts in viral social media clips. Her mother is Tyler-Marie, a singer from the Buffalo area. While the two are no longer a couple, they have maintained a visible co-parenting relationship for nearly a decade.

Shiloh Diggs

Shiloh was born in 2023 and is Stefon’s second-oldest child. She is the daughter of Kennedy Moore, a model from Diggs’ home state of Maryland. While Diggs kept her arrival relatively private compared to Nova’s, he shared photos of them together during the 2025 holiday season, confirming her place in his growing family tree.

Charliee Harper Diggs-Lopera

Born on April 2, 2025, Charliee was at the center of a high-profile legal battle. Her mother, Los Angeles-based model Aileen Lopera (known online as Lord Gisselle), filed a paternity suit in late 2024. In November 2025, DNA testing legally confirmed Stefon as the father. The case was officially resolved in January 2026 after Aileen dismissed her lawsuit, with both parties reportedly agreeing to a private co-parenting arrangement.

[Daughter – Name Not Public]

In April 2025—the same month Charliee was born—Stefon reportedly welcomed another daughter with New York City-based Instagram model Cayy Benji. While this child is rarely mentioned in formal interviews, Diggs was seen spending time with her during his 2025 Christmas break, solidifying reports of her paternity within the “wave” of children he fathered that year.

“Baby Brim” / “Touchdown”

Stefon’s most famous addition is his son with superstar rapper Cardi B, born on November 4, 2025. This is Cardi’s fourth child and Stefon’s first confirmed son. While the public and the parents themselves use the nicknames “Baby Brim” and “Touchdown,” Cardi B explicitly denied rumors in late January 2026 that his legal name is “Grayson,” stating that they are not yet ready to reveal his official name to the world.

[Son – Name Not Public]

The sixth and final child reported as of early 2026 is a son with Miami-based influencer K’yanna Barber. Barber is famously known as the “Kiki” referenced in Drake’s hit “In My Feelings.” Reports of her pregnancy surfaced in late 2024, and she is believed to have given birth in late 2025. Like several of his other 2025 additions, Diggs was pictured holding the infant during the 2025 holidays.

While fiercely loyal, Cardi reportedly struggles when Diggs is publicly criticized.

“She does get upset when people talk badly about him, seeing it as disrespect,” the second source said.

“She’s had arguments over how some people address or treat him in public — but she’s learning how to handle it better.”

Behind the scenes, Cardi has played an active role in helping Diggs navigate co-parenting and blended-family dynamics.

“When she loves, she fights for her man. Period,” the source said. “She talks to him often about how to best navigate situations involving multiple baby mamas and co-parenting. She gives him advice on being the best father he can be, and he appreciates the constant support she shows him.”

It promises to be another whirlwind few weeks for Diggs. 

Fresh from taking part in his first Super Bowl, he is set to head to court to contest felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault and battery charges stemming from an alleged incident in a Boston suburb on December 2.

The woman, who has not been publicly identified and was employed by Diggs as a personal chef, filed a police report on December 16 — several weeks after the alleged incident. 

According to Dedham police, she appeared “emotional and hesitant” to identify the suspect, citing his fame and public profile in New England.

Court documents allege Diggs entered her unlocked bedroom and confronted her over a text-message dispute regarding money he allegedly owed her. 

As the argument escalated, Diggs allegedly struck her across the face. When she attempted to push him away, he then tried to choke her, according to the report.

“The male then tried to choke her using the crook of his elbow around her neck,” the police report stated.

Another issue for Diggs, who is on a whopping $70 million, three-year deal with the Patriots, could be him shelling out an estimated $2 million alone on child support, according to an expert who spoke to The U.S. Sun.

Despite the mounting pressure, Cardi is standing by her man.

“She believes he’s telling the truth,” the source said. “She knows how frustrating these situations can be, but she’s there for him 100 percent, fighting alongside him.

“She sees herself as a lioness standing beside her lion — defending him, wanting him to be respected and loved, while also holding him accountable for his actions.

“To her, love means going to war for your partner when needed — being their strongest support in any circumstance.”

The U.S. Sun reached out to Cardi B’s reps, but is yet to hear back.
