boyfriend

Nearly a year after Christina Downer disappeared, her actor boyfriend was among two people arrested on suspicion of murdering her, Los Angeles police said Friday.

Downer’s brother is “Saturday Night Live” writer Jimmy Fowlie. Los Angeles Police Department officers arrested Delorean Bijon Brandon, 41, and Kaylee Nicole Markowski, 34, on Thursday after a lengthy investigation that kicked off after Downer was reported missing just before Christmas last year.

Both Brandon and Markowski were booked at the Metropolitan Detention Center with bail set at $2 million each. It is not clear if they are being represented by attorneys.

At first, the disappearance appeared to be a missing person’s case. Downer’s ex-husband requested a welfare check on Dec. 18, 2025 when he hadn’t heard from her. At the time, Downer’s boyfriend, Brandon, claimed that she had moved out several months earlier, leaving behind everything she owned including her car and dog, according to LAPD.

A few days later on Dec. 22, Fowlie shared a missing persons flier on his Instagram, writing that Downer had been missing and the family was concerned for her safety. In a separate post, he shared a photo of Downer and her dog, Rex, and wrote in the caption that his sister was very attached to the dog and had last been seen in Koreatown.

“I heard from her on Nov 26th. She was active on social media up to Dec 15th,” he wrote, noting that the last time anyone had spoke to her on the phone was Oct. 5. Fowlie said in the post that the family had “reason to believe” that in the weeks before she went missing, her phone and social media had been compromised and that whoever had Downer’s phone used it to hide “the fact that she was gone,” by requesting money and create an illusion that she’d skipped town and gone off the grid.

But when Downer’s phone washed ashore on the beach in Santa Monica, LAPD’s Robbery-Homicide Division took over the investigation.

Early this month, investigators searched an Airbnb in Joshua Tree in connection with Downer’s disappearance, according to NBC. It is not clear what, if anything, investigators found at the location.

CHLOE Ferry has opened up about her plans to start a family with her property developer boyfriend.

The reality star, 31, who has previously revealed she would like 10 children, went Instagram official with Alex Swinney in September last year.

Since then, Chloe has loved sharing an insight into her relationship on Instagram.

And during a recent Q&A on the social media platform, she’s hinted that she’s ready to become a mum.

One fan asked her: “Are you going to plan to have kids soon?”

Chloe replied: “I have a date in mind when I would love to have babies, but it could happen any time as I’m not anything.”

Earlier this year, Chloe gushed over her ‘soulmate’ boyfriend as she opened up about marriage, kids and if he would join the Geordie Shore cast.

Talking to The Sun, Chloe said of Alex: “He is definitely, definitely the person that I want to be with for the rest of my life. I’ve never felt like this ever about someone.

“I thought that I knew what love was before but this is like true love.

“I know it’s a bit cringe to say true love but I just know that this is 100% my person. I’ve planned my full life with this person and I’ve never done that with anyone.”

Chloe added that she is moving in with her beau and would “love” to get married and have children one day.

Back in May Chloe sparked speculation that she had a secret wedding after her boyfriend called her his ‘wife’ in a sweet gesture.

In a snap Chloe was seen holding up a brown envelope.

Scrawled on the back of the envelope were the words: “I [heart] you my wife.”

Chloe wrote over the top of the photo, sharing: “Woke up to this today,” followed by three emojis: a love heart and a teary-eyed face.

The star joined the cast of Geordie Shore in 2015.

Chloe has dated Sam Gowland, Jon Clark, Marty McKenna and Johnny Wilbo in the past.

ALISON Hammond has hit out at critics of her 22-year age gap with her Russian boyfriend, saying it’s insulting to give her a “wildlife classification” by calling her a “cougar”.

The This Morning host, 51, has been dating massage therapist David Putman, 29, for three years and insists they are happy together because they “make each other laugh.”

However, she said she faces more criticism as a “cougar” – a slang term for a woman dating a younger man – than older men who date younger women.

Asked about whether she found the term offensive, she said: “It depends who’s saying it and how they’re saying it.

“Sometimes I think it’s funny. Sometimes I think, ‘Darling, I’m not a cougar. I’m a whole safari!’

“But there is definitely a double standard. A man dates a younger woman and everyone goes, “Good for him.”

Alison Hammond says she ‘thought she was having heart attack’ on This Morning

“A woman dates a younger man and suddenly she’s been given a wildlife classification. Let women enjoy themselves!”

Speaking in the November/December issue of Attitude magazine, which is on newsstands today, she was also asked whether she has a message for those who judge their age difference.

The Great British Bake Off host said: “Mind your business! No, genuinely, I think people spend far too much time worrying about other people’s relationships.

“If two consenting adults are happy, loved,respected and making each other laugh,what exactly is the problem? People will always have an opinion.

“I’ve learned that you can’t live your life according to everybody else’s opinions because you’ll end up exhausted and miserable. Love who you love.”

Praising her partner further, she explained: “I love that we can make each other laugh. That’s the big thing for me.

“Life is too short to be in a relationship where you can’t laugh together. We’re different in lots of ways, but sometimes those differences are exactly what makes it interesting.

“And let’s be honest, I bring the life experience and he brings the youth. It’s basically a human multi-generational home!”

She received the Honorary Gay gong at Wednesday evening’s Virgin Atlantic Attitude Awards at London’s Roundhouse, but missed the event after suffering a health scare last Friday which saw her rushed off This Morning to hospital.

In a comment on Instagram on Monday she admitted she “thought it was a heart attack, it was very scary,” although she has since been given the all clear.
