Jacqueline shared a new snap posing with both her wedding and engagement ringsCredit: InstagramThe Sun revealed last month how she and Dan had split after 13 yearsCredit: Getty Images
Today Jacqueline took to social media to share a new mirror selfie, showing her looking straight-faced as she snapped the photo.
The Lauren Branning star was dressed casually in a white T-shirt and some high-waisted jeans, with her rings visible on her left hand.
She has become known for repeatedly reconciling with her other half — despite his flaws.
Their marriage has been rocked by multiple cheating allegations against Dan, who admitted in 2020: “I’ve made mistakes.”
However, having given their relationship multiple chances, friends claim Jac has accepted it is doomed after living separate lives for months.
A source close to Dan told The Sun: “Everyone knows they’ve had their troubles, but after spending some time apart this year, they’ve decided to make the split permanent.
“Their two daughters are their main priority.”
It’s claimed former Towie star Dan moved out permanently in February into the house he was said to have bought behind Jac’s back in 2024.
His “secret” Essex pad came to light after the on-off couple announced last March that they had split. The following month, they appeared to rekindle their marriage on a “make or break” family holiday to Mexico.
Our insider revealed: “After all Jac’s been through, she’s finally had enough. They’ve been living separate lives all this year and she’s over it.
“There’s only so many times she can put herself through living in limbo and taking him back.
“She has mentally checked out and Dan has panicked.”

JACK Whitehall’s countryside wedding to Roxy Horner over the weekend may have appeared to be oozing class, but the comedian says he actually had a wardrobe disaster during the ceremony.

Jack ripped his luxe Tom Ford suit when picking up their two-year-old daughter during the ceremony.
“I squatted down to pick up Elsie and my trousers split, my whole a** was hanging out,” he told Vogue.
Luckily, the comedian had a back-up suit and later changed into one by menswear brand Dunhill.
Meanwhile, his bride also donned two outfits during the day, but hers were both by choice.
The Georgian-style property is owned by Kate Middleton’s former boss, Jigsaw tycoon John Robinson.
Jack and Roxy shared the details of their big day with Vogue, explaining how Elsie was one of the model’s three flower girls.
They also had a whopping eight bridesmaids, with Jack’s brother, Barnaby, serving as Best Man.
After Jack predicted a “brutal” best man speech from his brother during a chat with The Sun earlier this year, due to his own ‘below the belt’ speech at his sibling’s nuptials, Barnaby didn’t hold back.
“He threw me under the bus, because that’s what I’d done to him,” confirmed Jack in his post-wedding chat.
Guests were asked to turn off their phones during the ceremony and were put on a social media blackout.
The newlywed pair are now headed to Venice for a stunning Italian honeymoon.

But after grabbing a coffee and walking hand-in-hand, the pair split and went their separate ways.
Harry, 32, was spotted dropping off Zoe, 37, at her hotel in the capital at 3.30pm on Sunday before heading to his Hampstead pad.
He was then seen arriving to pick her up again yesterday morning.
An onlooker said: “Harry and Zoe might be spending time together by day but at night they’re sleeping apart.
“They were so loved-up in Hampstead, so it was odd the date ended with her going to a hotel and him heading home on his tod.
“He was a proper gent though and came and picked Zoe up for another date yesterday.”
Harry, whose new album, Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally, went straight to No 1 when he released it last month, will be on tour in the coming weeks.

The singer will then fly to South America for a run of shows before he plays 30 more in New York and then five concerts in Australia.
Insiders said Zoe, who is the daughter of rocker Lenny Kravitz, is busy with her filming commitments but that she would visit Harry when she could.
A source said: “Harry and Zoe spend as much time together as they can and they’re massively supportive of each other’s careers.
“She will be at shows when she can.
“Harry has made sure he’s got plenty of down dates in his schedule, too.”
Joe Lycett has revealed his 16-month-old son was rushed to hospital recently in a health scareCredit: YouTube/ Whats My Age Again PodcastThe comedian shares the little one with his partner Denise, with the couple keeping their family fiercely life privateCredit: Instagram
Joe’s girlfriend, whom he refers to as ‘Denise’ to keep her real name private, remains out of the limelight, with their relationship very under the radar.
” I got a real sense of, ‘I would take any pain that you have, a thousand times over. I would bulldozer through a nursery to save you. I would do whatever it takes,” explained Joe of the unwavering love he has for the baby boy.
He later referenced the hospital incident again, confirming that the youngster had to be assessed in A&E.
Talking about how the family had a parking debacle during the hospital trip, he explained: “So, the punisher was ill. I drove to A&E, Birmingham children’s hospital.
“Parked up, took a picture of the Ringo number but didn’t do it straight away, like, ‘Oh, I’ll just wait while my son was unwell’, I thought, ‘I’ll do it in there’.
“So, he was being assessed and I was paying for parking whilst he was being assessed, so I had one eye on him and one eye on this,” said Joe, who continued to explain that he ended up getting a parking ticket for not doing so in time.
Joe also gave an insight into family life and his decision to become a parent as he said: “I always said I didn’t think I’d have kids but if one happened then I’d have a really good go at it.
“But then, I think, being in a stable, loving relationship, suddenly I was like, ‘Oh it would be fun to have a go at this’.
“Once we started talking about it, it became an inevitability.”
There are no family snaps on his social media, with his son and partner not featured anywhere online in connection to Joe.
Explaining the reason behind this, Joe said: “For the punisher, it’s up to him if he wants to do that later and be in the public eye.
“Because there is an inherit risk in being in the public eye, being known, having your face known and all of that.
“And if I end up doing something appalling he can change his surname and no one knows who he is, essentially.
“And then with Denise she just has a job where she works with vulnerable people.
“So if people know that I’m with her then it might affect her work. And also she has no desire to be in it – it’s weird to do what we do. “

HE has long been known for his enthusiasm for so-called throuples.
Now David Haye‘s ex has spoken of the day he asked her to “bring your girlfriends” to his hotel room, where he was waiting in his boxer shorts.

Model Zoe Gregory says the I’m A Celeb star seemed fascinated by her unconventional romance with Playboy boss Hugh Hefner, with whom she shared a bed along with six other women.
In an exclusive interview Zoe, 51, revealed: “He asked me what group sex is like and I said, ‘It works.’
“He seemed fascinated and very curious. He probably thought, OK I’ll have to give that a try one day. After I gave him my number, he asked me to visit him and he said: ‘Bring your girlfriends to the hotel too.’
“He was on a high after the boxing match and he probably thought, they all want to smash me. I was in awe of him so it didn’t put me off. He’s a smooth operator. I don’t remember exactly what he said, but he was charming and persuasive.
“He was very complimentary when I turned up to the hotel but I knew he just wanted to get in my pants.
“When I reached his hotel, I thought we would chill by the pool, but he said, ‘No come to the room, I’m still getting ready.’
“He opened the door in his boxer shorts and I wasn’t expecting that, but I wasn’t mad either. He literally grabbed me out the doorway and threw me on the bed so that was that.”
Zoe opened-up about her time with the boxer after he was slammed for his “sexist” comments while competing on the all-star version of I’m A Celeb in South Africa.
Referring to his long-term girlfriend Sian Osborne as having the personality of “a proper ugly bird,” he went on to claim that most good-looking women are “idiots” and that less attractive girls work harder on their personalities to win attention.
Singers Ashley Roberts and Sinitta were left shaking their heads while Corrie actress Beverley Callard later complained: “I’ve never heard anything so sexist in my life.”
Fashion model Sian, 33, defended him, saying in an exclusive interview: “I consider it a compliment.
“A big one. I’m fluent in David by now and my family find it hilarious.”
Miami-based Zoe, who cheated on Hefner with Haye, also backs him.
She explains: “I totally agree with him because everyone judges a book by its cover. People will look at me, blonde hair and big tits, and assume that I’m a bimbo.
“That’s because most blondes are bimbos, unfortunately. Blondes are very ditzy and that’s why they get that label. I’ve found myself saying the same things as David.
“Being around the girls at the Mansion, the ugly ones were always overcompensating with their personality. They would feel, I’m not that great looking so I’m going to have to do cartwheels to compete with the favourites.

“When I go the gym, I see girls wearing next to nothing and they don’t have a body to be wearing that – or a face. They don’t even look like they work out but sometimes people go that extra mile to overcompensate, to fit in.
“I feel bad saying it, but it’s true. It’s the way society is and social media has made it even worse. You are always going to have girls that get bent out of shape by comments like David’s and they are usually the fat ugly ones.
“David has met enough women to be an authority on this. If this is his opinion based on all the women he’s met, I can’t say he’s wrong.
“But he is in a corner with the public and he’s got to take a beating. Everything he says, people are watching and listening and they will use it against him to make out he’s a bad person. But he’s really not a bad person.
“He’s an opinionated person and he’s got a right to his own opinion. David is known for talking his mind and having a crazy sex life and being open about it.
“I can’t fault him for being like that.”
Mum-of-one Zoe moved from London to Los Angeles in her early 20s to work as a model and erotic B movie actress. She was accompanied by her husband, DJ Chris Paul and their young son, who is now in his 30s.
But once offered the chance to live with Hefner at his £150m LA mansion – having met the magazine boss at one of his notorious parties – she decided the opportunity was too good to turn down.
HE’S SEXIST RELIC
By Julie Bindel
SOMETIMES a sexist is easy to spot.
Take the boxer David Haye who, while on I’m a Celebrity South Africa, described his girlfriend Sian Osborne as having “the personality of a proper ugly bird”.
His deeply offensive remarks, which also included saying “pretty girls’ ugly friends have got to work a bit harder”, go to show that he’s not only misogynistic, but stupid as well.
The deeply old-fashioned myth that women who are not conventionally attractive develop better personalities to compensate does nothing to explain why men lacking in looks do not do the same.
Haye genuinely disrespects women and I just hope no women will ever be fooled into thinking him a catch.
Men: don’t be like Haye. Never underestimate a woman.
She lived with Hef, who was then in his 70s and relying heavily on Viagra to perform in bed, from 2001 to 2004.
But still married to her first husband, she always living with Hef as a job rather than a romantic relationship and she walked out following a series of rows with his number one girlfriend Holly Madison.
In 2024, she published a memoir called From Britain to Bunny in which she detailed her “hot 15 minutes” with Haye, which she described as “crazy and electric.”
Looking back on that day, she recalls: “David did seem fascinated by Hef. He asked me lots of intimate questions about him.
“He said, ‘So you’ve got to sleep with him?’ I said, ‘Yes, but it’s more of a job for me.’
“He said, ‘That’s weird.’ Then he asked, ‘Can Hef still get it up?’ I said, ‘Yes, of course.’
“I told him what went on in the bedroom – the orgies and Hef’s harem of women – and he seemed impressed by that. He was very complimentary towards me – he told me I have both beauty and brains.”
Zoe, who now works in promotions, last bumped into Haye at a restaurant in Miami two years ago just before her book was released. He was with girlfriend Sian, who has allowed him to spend time with Saturdays’ singer Una Healy and DJ Mica Jova – relationships that have been described as ‘throuples.’
Zoe continued: “David and Sian were over for a boxing event and it turned out we had a mutual friend, a photographer.
“David was surprised to see me. He was like, ‘Oh!’ It was a bit awkward because I wasn’t sure if Sian knew about our history.
“David said, ‘You look really well.’ I said ‘Yes, you too.’ It was a flirty moment and it was funny. And I swear David looked exactly the same as I remembered him. He’s aged very well.
“I got to meet Sian and she’s lovely, sweet girl. When I first met her, she didn’t say much and wasn’t very outgoing. She just sat there.
“I introduced myself and was doing extra to make her feel comfortable and after a few minutes, she warmed up. I kept the conversation away from him because I didn’t know what she knew and the book hadn’t come out yet.
“I wouldn’t say, ‘Oh by the way I f****d your boyfriend.’ I would never have a conversation like that. I do think David has got used to women throwing themselves at him.
I told him, ‘You need to go for an older woman that doesn’t get intimidated by you and can put you in your place.’
“Because otherwise he is just going to walk all over a girl, because it’s his way or the highway. He’s got his cake and he’s eating it – and I love him for that.”

The couple took to Instagram to share a black and white photo of the tot lying on his dad’s chest.
They captioned it: “He’s here. We are so in love.”
As hundreds of their fans flocked to like and comment on the post, one of the well-wishers was his ex-Jennifer, 57, who showed her subtle support by pressing like on it.
The Hollywood star didn’t comment but her like shows she’s happy for her ex as he celebrates this milestone moment in his life.
Pictures published by TMZ, showed Justin in a cream jacket and black bow tie kissing Nicole, who looked great in a backless white wedding dress.
The bride went barefoot on the sand and at one point was twirled around by smitten Justin.
The couple began dating in early 2023 but didn’t go official until December of that year.
They got engaged in Summer 2024 in Italy, while Justin was on the promo trail for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice at the Venice Film Festival.
The pair posed for pictures at the glitzy event and a huge diamond ring could be seen glistening on Nicole’s finger.
The actress is the daughter of late journalist David Bloom who died from a blood clot in 2003 while covering the Iraq war.
Justin and Jennifer first met in 2007, before beginning their relationship in 2011.
They married in 2015, announcing their split two years later and their subsequent divorce.

“This decision was mutual and lovingly made at the end of last year,” the two shared in a statement.
“We are two best friends who have decided to part ways as a couple, but look forward to continuing our cherished friendship.”
Justin eventually opened up to the New York Times about the divorce, saying, “The good news is that was probably the most — I’m choosing my words really carefully — it was kind of the most gentle separation, in that there was no animosity.
“Again, neither one of us is dead, neither one of us is looking to throw hatchets at each other…. It’s more like, it’s amicable.
“It’s boring, but, you know, we respected each other enough that it was as painless as it could be.”
He added: “It was heartbreaking, only in the sense that the friendship would not be the same, as far as just the day to day.
“But the friendship is shifting and changing, you know, so that part is something that we’re both very proud of.”

ZACH Noble’s fans have been left horrified after they spotted a concerning detail in his sweet post with pregnant girlfriend Ava Hirons.

The couple are seen posing up a storm on a boat as they went scuba diving in the blue water and kicked back in the sea for the loved-up snaps.
However, in two pictures, Zach was spotted puffing on a cigarette, which left his fans concerned, especially since Ava, 24, is pregnant with their first child.
One person commented: “Smoking around her is crazy.”
Another Instagram user expressed: “Ok Zacahriah. How are you so into fitness and smoking. Noo not when your about to go into fatherhood. Just NO.”
Somebody else warned: “Second hand smoke is a thing, be careful.”
Yet another said: “I can’t believe people smoke in this day and age! It’s not like the old days when people didn’t know how harmful it is. You’re going to be a dad c’mon set a good example.”’
While a fifth concerned fan added: “Please don’t smoke around your pregnant girlfriend and especially the newborn.
“Second hand smoke can increase the risk of SIDS massively. Perfect time to try quitting.”
The pair announced they’re expecting their first child together in February as he shared a scan picture on Instagram and penned: “Incoming summer ‘26.”
The two had previously dropped many telltale hints that suggested they had a baby on the way.
On December 18, Zach took to his Instagram stories revealing to fans that he had just received the “greatest news.”
He wrote: “Just found out the greatest news I think I’ve ever received. God must be real. Time to grind like never before.”
That same day Ava, who is daughter of This Morning star Caroline Hirons, took to her own page to repost an Instagram reel about pregnancy fitness training.
She then went on to upload one of her staple TikTok videos of her dancing where a baby bump could be seen peeking out underneath her hoodie.
They announced they were expecting back in February
In the following days, the pair also both followed a host of parenting accounts.
Earlier this week, Zach and Ava announced their baby’s gender with a carousel of recent pictures to tell fans the happy news.
The first photo saw a stripey baby grow, hat, tiny shoes and 3D ultrasound pictures laid out on a bed.
In another snap, the couple cuddled up and beamed in delight.
They were both wearing black but Ava had her hair tied back in a blue scarf…
And, you might have guessed it, Ava and Zach captioned the post: “It’s a boy.”
Elsewhere, the former basketball player was spotted kissing Ava’s growing bump.
Their relationship was confirmed in October after the pair were caught by a TikTok influencer while having a stroll in London.
They solidified their relationship further by moving in with each other last month, in anticipation for the birth of their child.

SUPERSTAR Cher was left “speechless” when she found out she had a secret granddaughter aged 15.

Superstar Cher was ‘speechless’ when she found out she had a secret granddaughterCredit: GettyKayti with daughter Ever, 15Credit: Jeff Rayner/Coleman-Rayner
Ex-model Kayti had a brief romance with 79-year-old Cher’s second son Elijah Allman in 2010 which led to the birth of their daughter, Ever.
Kayti, who lives on a ranch in Joshua Tree, California, explained: “Cher got in touch with me last June and asked if it was true, so I had to confess.
“She said she had heard something about it from Elijah back in 2021, but didn’t know if it was just crazy talk.
She claimed he was “substantially unable to manage his own financial resources due to severe mental health issues”.
The pair later resolved the matter privately.
But in June last year, Elijah — who is Cher’s son from her second marriage to the late musician Gregg Allman — was hospitalised for several days after a second overdose.
Kayti explained: “He came back into my life just recently.
“I didn’t know anything about his state.
“But he asked me if he could come to Joshua Tree as he needed to get out of Hollywood.
“As soon as he stepped out of the car, I knew he wasn’t well.
“A few weeks later, he overdosed and was hospitalised, and this was when Cher got in touch.
“She wanted to know what had happened and then she asked me if it was true regarding Ever.
“That’s when I had to tell her the situation.”
Kayti, who owns a horse rescue centre, told how Cher invited her and Ever to her Malibu home last September.
“We went to the house and stayed the night,” she said.
“She was lovely and kind and we had dinner.
“Cher asked Ever if she wanted to see her closet and showed her a pair of jeans she had worn in concert.
“It was a cool experience for her.
“Cher was very childlike.
“They played in the pool and she spoke to Ever about school and asked her about boys.

“She was like a kid herself.”
The Believe hitmaker, who played a glamorous gran in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, has previously told how she longed to be a grandma.
On the 2018 press tour for Mamma Mia!, the singer said: “I don’t have any grandchildren.
“I wish I did, I really do.”
Kayti said Cher is still “processing the news” after the shock reveal, but she and Ever — who is a straight-A student — are building a relationship.
She went on: “Cher sent her a Christmas card and present.
“It was a Chrome Hearts hoodie.
“And then for her birthday, she sent her some money and Chrome Hearts sweats.
“She called her and they spoke on the phone.
“Cher is really trying.
“It’s an adjustment and I’m not pushing any relationship.
“It has to come naturally.
“Elijah and his wife always said Cher didn’t want to be a grandma and to keep Ever away, so I was nervous to introduce her, but it’s been nothing but a good experience.”
Kayti said Elijah wanted to be a part of Ever’s life, which is why he went to Joshua Tree.
She said: “He wanted to see her and have a relationship with her, but he wasn’t in any fit state.
“She thought he was just a family friend at that point.
“I had to shelter her from him and, when he gets better, he will appreciate that.
“Cher is also very protective of Ever and the family dynamic and she knows Elijah’s state and wants to protect that from her, too.
“He needs to get back to being the guy I once knew, and Cher agrees.
Elijah reportedly told cops he was a “prospective father”, which caused mass speculation online.
Days later, he was arrested again for allegedly breaking into a house.
He is currently in jail awaiting trial in New Hampshire.

With her voice cracking, Kayti said: “Elijah did this.
“I’m only speaking about this now because I want this to be my story.
“I would have kept it under wraps.
“I have to say, Cher loves her son.
“He needs help and, regardless of what anyone says, she goes to any lengths to help him.”
Kayti, who is the step-granddaughter of Mary Poppins star Julie Andrews, said: “I know what it’s like to have a famous grandma and it’s not all it’s cracked up to be.
“I craved the ideal of grandma baking cookies in the kitchen with me, but it wasn’t like that.
“We had cooks and were raised by nannies.
“To talk to my grandma, I had to call her assistant.
COMIC Jack Whitehall kicked off his £250,000 wedding to model Roxy Horner yesterday by rowing a boat across a lake to her.
The 37-year-old’s romantic gesture moved some guests to tears — but his pals soon lightened the mood as they jokingly called out to him: “Shagger!”

The comment was believed to be a reference to his appearance on BBC ancestry programme Who Do You Think You Are? in 2019.
It saw Jack discover that his great-great-grandfather Richard, a travelling salesman, was a bed-hopping womaniser killed by syphilis.
The funnyman smiled on the show as he called him “a bit of a shagger”.
His wedding took place in the grounds of £12million stately home Euridge Manor, near Chippenham, Wilts.
The Georgian-style property is owned by Kate Middleton’s former boss, Jigsaw tycoon John Robinson.
Jack and Roxy invited more than 100 guests, including the comedian’s fellow TV star father Michael and mother Hilary.
Jack and 34-year-old Roxy’s two-year-old daughter Elsie acted as a flower girl.
The comedian’s sister Molly appeared to be a bridesmaid while his brother Barnaby was his best man.
Speaking to The Sun earlier this year, Jack said of Barnaby: “I gave quite a savage speech at his wedding.
“There were a few low blows he wasn’t too appreciative of.

Guests were asked to turn off their phones during the ceremony and were put on a social media blackout.
Cars driving in and out of the venue had blacked-out windows and there were security guards at the gates and by the entrance to the stately home.
Brit Awards host Jack and Roxy started dating in 2020 after meeting on a trip to Australia.
They got engaged in 2024.

In the picture, two frogs are seen sitting next to each other with a love heart saying “I love you” in between them.
He addressed the drawing to “Mummy Bullfrog and Daddy Lee Bullfrog,” and said: “I hope you have a great Valentine’s Day and a happy holiday, love from Harvey.”
Lee wrote under it: “Harvey Price. You are just the best human,” as Katie reshared his story on her own profile.
It comes after The Sun revealed Lee’s devotion to Harvey with an apparent tattoo on the side of his left hand.
She said: “Of course I’m going back to Dubai and Lee will come here when he needs to.
“People have to remember he’s lived in Dubai for 21 years, that’s where he lives and where he does his work. There’ll be a time when he does come to England and he’ll be with me.”
Sophie replied: “I thought he had a travel ban?”

While not confirming whether or not Lee is unable to leave the city, Katie said: “Do you know what? Everyone has said to me you can get a travel ban over anything in Dubai.
“A parking ticket or if you owe a bill for electricity or something… you can get a travel ban for absolutely anything.”
Sophie asked: “Do they do anything like that over here?”
The I’m A Celebrity star joked: “No. If they did, I’d be banned for life! But yeah, you can get one for even breathing the wrong way in Dubai. It’s so strict.”
A clip from the podcast was posted on social media, with Katie writing: “Lee’s travel ban… it’s so strict!!!!”
BACK in the 80s and early 90s, this movie star was known for huge blockbuster films, and was one of the biggest names in Hollywood.
Sadly, in 1991, the actor’s beloved wife died and he started to take a step back from the limelight and eventually quit fame – but now the 72-year-old star is making his big comeback.

Rick Moranis, famed for 80s films like Ghostbusters, thrilled fans when he made a rare appearance at CinemaCon 2026.
It was announced last year that the Canadian actor would be reprising his role as Dark Helmet.
The original movie, which is a spoof of Star Wars, came out in 1987 and starred many notable names, including Mel Brooks, Daphne Zuniga, Bill Pullman, the late John Candy, and Joan Rivers, among others.
Many of Rick’s former co-stars have returned for the sequel, such as Mel, Daphne, Bill, and George Wyner.
There are also several new faces among the cast, including Josh Gad and Keke Palmer.
The cast joined Rick at a panel event to promote the movie at CinemaCon.
Despite the star rarely being seen in the last three decades, the actor hasn’t changed much in appearance.
The Flintstones star wore his trademark round-framed glasses, which he was famed for in his iconic movies.
Other than Spaceballs, Rick starred in many successful films in the 1980s and 1990s, including Honey, I Shrunk the Kids and its sequels, and playing Barney in The Flintstones.

Sadly, Rick started to take a step back from Hollywood when his wife, Anne Belsky, passed away from breast cancer in 1991.
During the 90s, he slowly started to quit fame to focus on parenting his two children.
Although Rick hasn’t been seen on screen, he hasn’t entirely distanced himself from acting.
He lent his voice to several animated projects over the years, including Disney‘s Brother Bear in 2003, and its sequel, Brother Bear 2, in 2006.
Rick’s voice also appeared in a 2018 episode of The Goldbergs and a 2020 episode of the Disney+ docuseries Prop Culture.
However, he hasn’t appeared in a live-action film since Disney’s Honey, I Shrunk Ourselves, which was released directly to video in 1997.
But Rick is now set to be back on the big screen, with production for Spaceballs 2 underway.
The hotly-anticipated sequel is set to hit cinemas in 2027.

Katie Price’s husband Lee claims he’ll move to the UK in MayCredit: InstagramLee also posted this wedding announcement todayCredit: InstagramKatie’s husband currently lives out in DubaiCredit: InstagramKatie married Lee earlier this year after a whirlwind weddingCredit: wesleeeandrews/instagram
Speaking in her YouTube vlog, Katie said: “I love that I’m back [in the UK].
“I’m not going to go to Dubai now for a bit. I’ve done my bit in Dubai and with everything going on there, it’s all quiet and I‘ve got things to do back here as well.
“I still want to sort the house out, work, even though I can work there, I just like being home, everything is here.
“Where I’ve been in Dubai, it hasn’t even been sunny, it’s been raining.”
Revealing her husband’s plans to visit her over here, she said: “But hopefully Lee will be flying to the UK soon.
“When he can, he’ll come over and just do normal stuff here.”
We take a look back at the highs and lows of Katie Price’s relationship history.
1996-1998: Katie got engaged to Gladiators star Warren Furman – aka Ace – with a £3,000 ring. But their relationship didn’t make it as far as ‘I do’.
1998-2000: Katie described Dane Bowers as ‘the love of her life’ but she broke up with the singer after he allegedly cheated on her.
2001: Footballer Dwight Yorke is the father of Katie’s eldest child Harvey. He has had very little to do with his son throughout his life.
2002: Rebounding from Dwight, Katie famously had one night of passion with Pop Idol star Gareth Gates, allegedly taking his virginity.
2002-2004: Katie was dating Scott Sullivan when she entered the jungle for I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!. He threatened to “punch Peter’s lights out” when chemistry blossomed between her and Peter Andre.
2004-2009: The jungle romance resulted in Katie marrying Aussie pop star Peter. They had two kids, Junior and Princess, before their bitter split in 2009.
2010-2011: Fresh from her break-up with Peter, Katie enjoyed a whirlwind relationship and marriage with cage fighter Alex Reid. They split 20 months after their Las Vegas wedding.
2011: Katie briefly dated model Danny Cipriani… but it ended as quickly as it begun.
2011-2012: They didn’t speak the same language, but Katie got engaged to Argentinian model Leandro Penna in 2011. He later fled home to South America.

AFTER becoming the first Love Island star to make Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list, savvy Molly-Mae Hague has a nifty plan to ‘Fury-proof’ her finances.
With a staggering £22million in the bank and a second baby with boxer fiancé Tommy on the way, there are whispers that a watertight pre-nup featuring a “loyalty clause” is in the works.
Molly-Mae took Tommy Fury back a year ago after their shock split in 2024… but she’s determined to make sure he’s 100% dedicated to herCredit: GettyTommy surprised Molly with a romantic Ibiza proposal in 2023Credit: Instagram
Now sources close to the business-minded beauty say she is determined to make sure Tommy, 26, is 100 per cent dedicated to her before tying the knot.
An insider explained: “Molly has more than proved she knows a thing or two about making money and she knows full well what marriage could mean for her wealth.
“There’s been talk that she would want him to sign a contract before they commit any further, which would have a cheating clause and allow her the access to her money she feels she might need to move on.”
Molly was already a popular influencer when she appeared on Love Island in 2019 and met Tommy but her rise to super stardom and extreme wealth after the show is unprecedented.
Molly would not be the first woman to demand a cheating clause.
Catherine Zeta Jones is said to have included a similar one in the pre-nup prior to her 2000 wedding to fellow actor Michael Douglas.
It was reported that if he ever cheated he would have to pay Catherine £1million for every year they were married.
Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel also allegedly have a clause in their prenup that would entitle Jess to £400,000 if he cheated.
It was late in the summer of 2024 that Molly dumped Tommy, telling her followers: “Never in a million years did I think I’d ever have to write this.
“After five years of being together I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way.”
The couple had been planning to move into a £5million mansion but after Tommy was accused of kissing a blonde beauty on a lads’ holiday to Macedonia, Molly stayed put in her £4million Cheshire home and booted Tommy out.

And while they now live in their new family home, we can reveal Molly has kept hold of her first mansion, which is solely in her use.

Our insider said: “Molly has been very reluctant to sell the Cheshire home and knows it’s probably wise to keep hold of it as a back up.”
At the start of the year fans were shocked when Molly quietly announced she was expecting another baby with Tommy, and was already six months pregnant.
Pals say the star opted to have another child with Tommy because she was keen that her children all have the same father.
Another source adds: “Molly is very traditional in lots of ways and Tommy is, of course, also very old school, so they wanted to have more children together.”
A blended family was not an option for Molly, the source said.
Molly’s dream
“She wants her kids to have consistency like she had growing up. It’s one of the main reasons she got back with him.”
Casting doubt over their relationship, Tommy’s dad John Fury said in the family’s Netflix show, At Home With The Furys: “Molly is a lovely person, but she can’t help the life she’s been brought up in, it’s contrasting to ours.
“But she’s put up with some s*** hasn’t she, so fair play to her – she’s not a bad girl.
“I’m also going to be there to support them. Let’s see what happens.”
Tommy’s half brother and former world heavyweight boxing champion Tyson has also been critical of Molly’s career.
She wants her kids to have consistency like she had growing up. It’s one of the main reasons she got back with him.

In the new series of his show he appears mocking of influencers, warning his daughter Venezuela: “If you are an influencer your private life is non-existent. Look at Tommy and Molly. If you want to make money out of doing nothing, basically privacy doesn’t exist.
“I’ve done a million-thousand achievements. I can write a table full of them. We’re just in an era where you can get famous for what? Getting our tits out on telly.”
But Molly, a dropout from the London College of Fashion, has come a long way since Love Island.
Forbes might have put Tyson at No3 in its ranking of the highest-paid athletes in the world, with his earnings being estimated at £120 million, but Molly is hot on his heels (wearing her sold-out Adidas shoe collection).

She was also seen oiled up donning a pink bikini paired with a little gingham sarong.
Following her sad split Tino, Simone picked up her life and moved to New York.
Speaking on The Louis Theroux podcast, Simone said: “I moved to New York last year. I’m having the time of my life. I love it. It’s changed my life.”
But, it seems that is not all that has changed in the stars life as she made a candid admission.
She added: “At the moment, I’m dating. The plan is always to find love and have another great year in New York.
“I feel very ready for a relationship but I think it’s about finding the right person. I don’t get into situationships because it’s just a way to keep things vague. It’s not my style and I haven’t got time for that.”
Before her brief romance with Tim, Simone dated lawyer Constantin “Tino” Klein in the summer of 2022.
They called it quits back in January 2025.

Jason and model Rosie, 38, are parents to Jack, eight, and four-year-old Isabella.
Fast & Furious star Jason showed off his close bond with the kids while they relaxed at the hotel’s stunning crystal cove pool.
He and Jack were seen taking in the view with their arms around each other, while another snap showed the young lad standing on his dad’s shoulders in the pool.
Meanwhile Isabella was seen taking a dip in the water and one photo showed proud dad Jason lifting her into the air.
Jason didn’t include any photos of Rosie in his upload, which he captioned: “The cave.”
The couple have been together since 2010 and got engaged in 2016.
But Rosie previously confessed they’re in no rush to walk down the aisle.
She told Entertainment Tonight: “We’re looking forward to that time. It’s also not a huge priority for us, we’re so happy.
“I think it will be fun to do it when the baby’s [Jack] grown up a bit and he can be involved in the wedding.”
Rosie and Jack live in a Georgian townhouse in London and have spent two years renovating it together.
Revealing how the process has been, she told Vogue Australia: “Jason has the most impeccable taste.
“He taught me so much about architecture and furniture.”
Rosie added that being in a relationship with Jason for 16 years has been “very grounding”.

The BBC One star, known as Fury on the show, took to her Instagram feed to share a series of snaps of the two of them together as well as solo pictures of Ellen.
In one photo, the ladies are glammed up in stunning dresses as they hold hands while walking down a hotel hallway.
In another picture, the two are seen enjoying a beach day as Ellen plants a kiss on Jodie’s face.
She captioned the post: “The person who holds everything together behind the scenes, my calm in all the chaos and the one who makes me cackle like no one else.
“Happy Birthday, ya special human,” Jodie concluded.
Their fans flocked to the comments section to send the couple some love as one said: “Eugh the beautiful eyes in this relationship is unreal!”
Another person gushed: “You two seem like a ‘forever’ kinda couple. I love it xxxx.”
While a third added: “Happy birthday to your special person.”
Jodie and Ellen first met when they were 16, playing together at Loughborough Rugby.
They went public with their romance last Summer in a YouTube vlog and their relationship appears to be going from strength to strength.
The post comes after Jodie’s dad Phil Ounsley, 56, tragically died after collapsing on one of Yorkshire’s three peaks in December.
She shared the heartbreaking news on Instagram as she penned: “Heartbroken. Yesterday, my dad suddenly passed away while doing one of his favourite things—walking Pen-y-Ghent.
“He had hiked that peak countless times throughout his life, but none of us knew he wouldn’t walk back down that day.
“I don’t have the words. All I can say is that he was, and always will be, my absolute hero.
“He encouraged me to dream big and loved me wholeheartedly, and for that I will be forever grateful. Until we meet again, Dad.”

Dressed up in character this month, the panto star shared: “I am princess Jill today. I’m really, really loving this theatre tour so much.
“I miss my kids today. I’ve been away from them now for about a week as they are at their daddy’s for Easter.
“I definitely don’t think it gets easier sharing your children, it really doesn’t, but there’s so many of us that are in these situations and it can be really tricky.”
Helen’s comments about her former partner — and the positive nature of him spending time with their kids — seem to hint the pair have built bridges.
Their most recent explosive spat saw her clash with Scott after he missed their son Charlie’s nativity play because he was in Abu Dhabi for theF1.
She branded him a “piece of s**t” as he lived it up in the UAE instead.
On the prospect of her signing up for more dating shows, she told us: “My children just find it funny.
“My daughter and I are very close. She just sees it as me working and doing different things – we have such a close bond, so it’s all very normal to her.
“I’m very open-minded about it.
“I don’t think there’s an age where you suddenly have to stop doing things like modelling or dating shows.
“You can still feel beautiful and confident at any age, so I don’t think you can put a limit on it.”

AUBREY Plaza’s world was tragically turned upside down last year following the very sudden and sad loss of her husband Jeff Baena.
But 15 months on, the Parks and Recreation actress, 41, has quietly found happiness and laid the foundations of a fruitful new future, as it emerged this week that she’s expecting her first child with Girls star Christopher Abbott.

“It was a beautiful surprise after an emotional year,” a source close to the couple told People following the baby news, adding that “they feel very blessed”.
The new chapter comes just over a year after her filmmaker husband Jeff Baena was found dead, aged 47, in January 2025.
Aubrey has kept herself mostly out of the spotlight in the aftermath of Jeff’s passing, with it since revealed that she’s been quietly enjoying the company of her supportive new beau Chris.
MOVIE MEETING
Like all good love stories, Aubrey and Chris’s relationship started off as friends.
They first met starring in the 2020 psychological flick Black Bear, and even then were singing each other’s praises.
Speaking at the time, Aubrey said that their dynamic felt “volatile and electric in a way that made every take unpredictable.”
While Chris praised Aubrey at the time as “fearless, you never quite know what she’s going to do.”
SPARKS OFF BROADWAY
The two became co-stars while starring together in the Off-Broadway show Danny and the Deep Blue Sea in 2023.
While the two-person play received mixed reviews, with The Guardian saying it was “challenging theatre, just not in the good way”, the pair grew close behind the scenes.
Halfway through the run, Chris injured his knee, and Aubrey is reported to have “coordinated a dance scene where she gave him a lap dance when he was on crutches.”

Even before the injury, the actress is alleged to have “[rode] him simulating sex while he’s on the floor as one of the sets changed between acts.”
On the evening that Chris hurt himself, Aubrey reportedly “went into a different mode to take care of him and was very affectionate.”
She even skipped seeing fans to attend to her colleague post-performance, with it noted that she “avoided any stage door due to Chris being her main concern.”
Aubrey was still with Jeff during the Broadway run, with her split from her late husband happening around Septemebr 2024, months prior to his death.
Meanwhile, Chris appeared to stay single and was spotted on celebrity dating app Raya, however, never on any actual dates.
Before finding love with Aubrey, Chris dated The Girlfriend star Olivia Cooke, but the pair split just before the pandemic.
PRESS TOUR PAIRING
While not together, their chemistry was visible during the press tour for the play.
Speaking about their project at the time, Aubrey told The New York Times: “He cares but he also doesn’t care; it’s the best recipe for me for a scene partner.
“It’s fun and it’s also good and it’s also safe. I like to just throw things out the window also and laugh and mess around and not take it so seriously. It’s a hard combo to come by.”
Chris agreed, adding: “We’re both unafraid to be ugly and weird and strange.
“We’re doing this play every night for an audience, but I think you also have to do it for each other,” he said.
“We want to entertain the audience, but I personally want to entertain Aubrey.”
“I guess I like to entertain him as well,” Aubrey added.
SECRET DATES
Last July, the couple were spotted at The Chatham Berry Farm, which is located a couple of hours outside of New York City, in what appeared to be a less-than-platonic encounter.
A source at the farm reported to Duexmoi that Aubrey was “was rubbing his back, and they were sitting very close to each other at a picnic table.”
From the insider’s POV, the outing appeared “more than friends.”
The insider added that Aubrey appeared to know Chris’ sister who was also invited on the outing.
Chris’ sister is singer Christina Abbott who posted about the day in June 2025.
The group were said to have had “several rounds of drinks from the cidery and ate dinner.”
Just one month later, Aubrey opened up about her grief during an interview with former Parks and Recreation co-star Amy Poehler.
She said: “Overall, I’m here and I’m functioning.
“I feel really grateful to be moving through the world. I think I’m okay, but it’s like a daily struggle, obviously.”
Last year, Aubrey received the tragic news that her estranged husband Jeff Baena had been found dead at the home they once shared.
The U.S. Sun previously reported that emergency services were dispatched to the address in Los Feliz.
His body was found at 10.25am by an assistant at the property, which the couple bought together in 2022.
The filmmaker was pronounced dead at the scene.
An investigator noted in documents that Aubrey, whose name was blacked out in the final report, said she had spoken to Jeff the night before he died.
In March 2025, it emerged Aubrey had quietly split from Jeff four months before his death, with the pair separating in September 2024.
An LA County Medical Examiner’s autopsy report obtained by DailyMail.com stated they had parted that month and that she was living in New York when his body was found.
Jeff’s family were left “devastated” and asked for privacy at the time.
The couple tied the knot over four years earlier after dating for a decade.
They kept both the engagement and marriage secret until Aubrey described him as her “darling husband” in a touching Instagram post following the tragedy.

Olivia Attwood has revealed she cried so much she ‘nearly passed out’ in the aftermath of her split with Bradley DackCredit: TikTokThe pair called time on their romance in January with Olivia claiming a ‘breach of trust’ on his partCredit: InstagramThe 31-year-old has now bravely revealed her raw emotional state in a new podcastCredit: TikTok
Olivia told the podcast: “I can only see what I’ve had because people just like to give women a hard time.
“Someone wrote me on my TikTok yesterday when I was with the girls in New York having fun, and she’s like ‘I really hope someone screws you over so badly, like you’re such a cold calculated b***h.’
“I thought, it’s because I’m open and I talk about all kinds of things, but I’m not going to video myself crying and put it on the internet.
“I’m just f*****g not”.
She poured out her heart further and said: “It doesn’t mean I don’t cry. I have cried, I’ve cried so hard during this breakup to the point where I f*****g think I’m going to pass out, and then I will slap myself in the face and go to work.
“I don’t need to be crying on the internet, I don’t think that people, professionally, are going to respect me and book me to host their TV shows when I’m videoing myself lying on the floor crying”.
She told the podcast it would be easier if she ‘hated’ her footballer exCredit: instagram.com/olivia_attwoodThe pair were at the centre of fakery rumours after it was revealed they had not made their marriage officialCredit: instagram/oliviameetshermatch
Olivia then told how it had been her most painful break up yet and continued: “I think that when you know you tried, we both tried so many things to make it work, so of course it’s just so sad. It’s sad.
“Also, this is why I’ve not rushed to say anything because it’s like, I can still acknowledge the fact that I like him and I love him as a person, those things can still be true while knowing that it’s run its course.
“I think it would be easier if I hated him, which I don’t”.
Confirming this was the case, Olivia, who wed Bradley in 2023, finally broke her silence on the situation this week in a statement shared to Instagram Stories.
She wrote: “I have stood by Brad for the last ten years during which he lied & cheated on me multiple times.
“The breakdown of our relationship is because of this.
“I was in love with him and the potential I saw in him and wanted always to help him try to be the best version of himself – as I did for 10 years.
“Covering up. Lying to my family and friends. Arranging therapy. Believing the grovelling apologies.
“I of course now feel like a f***ing idiot (Especially as more things come to the surface).
“I never wanted to say any of this. I find the whole situation utterly humiliating.
“But some of the disgusting things written about me in the last few weeks just blow my mind – and of course sadly it’s always fellow females doing the writing.”
Olivia added that she decided to leave her marriage after being told he was unfaithful again in January.

A Los Angeles literary agent said: “Paula and Carmen are strong women and they won’t hold back when it comes to their memoirs.
“Carmen dated Simon, so knows what he is like when the cameras stop rolling.
“Rumours have swirled for years about Paula and Simon.
“They had undeniable chemistry on American Idol and now Paula has the chance to put the record straight.”
Carmen and Simon were first linked in 2012 when she briefly starred as a guest judge on ITV show Britain’s Got Talent.
The pair were spotted on a series of dinner dates.
Speaking about Carmen in December 2012, Simon said: “She’s not my girlfriend. We’re people who date. She’s adorable, isn’t she?”
Paula had starred on American Idol with Simon for eight seasons between 2002 and 2009.
The pair, who also appeared together on The X FactorUSA, were known for their chemistry on the shows.
Speaking of their relationship in 2011, he said: “On the first two seasons, we couldn’t travel on the same plane together.
“We really disliked each other that much. I think it was sexual tension — on her part.”
When later asked if the pair had ever dated, Paula replied: “Oh no! No! Ew, no!”.
Simon has proved himself as a family man — after getting engaged to American socialite Lauren Silverman in December 2021.
The couple, who have a 12-year-old son Eric, opened up their home to the cameras for Netflix’s show Simon Cowell: The Next Act.
On the six-part docu- series — which charts how the entertainment boss put together boyband December 10 — Simon praised his fiancee.
He said: “Lauren, she’s very strong, very emotional, but I love that.
“The reason we have such a great relationship is she always tells me the truth.”
Let’s hope Simon appreciates the same in these upcoming books.
SIMON likes snacking on oranges while filming the auditions for ITV show Britain’s Got Talent.
A source said: “He loves oranges – specifically easy peelers. Runners were tasked with keeping the oranges flowing during filming in Blackpool and Birmingham.
“At one point he was giving them out to the crowd, who were asking him to sign them.”

The 7 Days singer told fans at the venue in Hammersmith, West London that he is working on new music.
At his Born To Do It: 25th Anniversary gig on Thursday he had the crowd hooked from the off, admitting with hand on heart: “Oh man, we’re getting emotional here.”
But the biggest moment came when he brought out Grammy award-winning producer, songwriter and musician Fraser T Smith – who has worked with Craig as well as Adele and Rita Ora among others – and confirmed they are collaborating again.
Craig said: “He’s my brother, and also someone I’m back in the studio making new music with.”
The pair shared a stripped-back set, with Fraser cheekily flipping Craig’s famous ad lib to: “Fraser T all over your . . . ”
Still, fans were there for the classics – and Craig delivered.
Introducing 7 Days – his second consecutive UK No1 in 2000 – he said: “This song changed everything for me.” Delighted fans sang every word back.
Hit song Rewind sparked more chaos, with one over-excited fan even throwing a red bra on stage as the Apollo turned into one big party.
With energy like that, Craig won’t be Walking Away from the music industry any time soon.
