In the latest episode of his latest Staying Relevant podcast that he co-hosts with best pal Sam Thompson, 33, a smitten Pete, 37, talked about what makes him happy in a relationship.

The usually gruff reality star was asked what his “love languages are”, to which he replied: “Mine I would probably say are physical touch, quality time, and acts of service.”

Co-host Sam then agreed, and said that his was also “physical touch”.

The latest revelation comes just a week after Pete and his girlfriend Olivia, 35, FINALLY went Instagram official.

And it could all be down to daughter Princess Andre.

The budding star confirmed on her reality show, The Princess Diaries, that she has a plan for them to come face-to-face later this year.

Princess is planning a huge launch event for her cosmetics company and is planning to invite both her parents to attend the bash.

Confirming her plan on her show, Princess told Katie of what she was planning to do.

Princess said to her: “For my official launch, I will probably just invite close family and friends.”

Katie went quiet as she replied: “Yeah… I mean, I still haven’t met up with your dad face-to-face yet.

“It is weird, isn’t it?”

Princess agreed before adding: “But everything happens for a reason1”

Katie then appeared to take a swipe at Peter and their split as she added: “Does it?

“I think some things could have been avoided but it is what it is and you just move on.”

Princess nevously smiled after her mum’s comments before the conversation drew to a quick close.

Later on, Princess told brother Junior of her latest plan.

Before their chat, Princess told the camera: “It is so important for me that for my official launch, I have as many friends and family there as possible.”

She then said to Junior and his girlfriend: “Mum and Dad are in a truce now so I am just gonna invite Mum and Dad and whoever wants to come, comes.

“It might be quite awkward though.”

Junior appeared unconvinced by the plan as he replied: “Yeah, their first time in a room?

“When I used to perform, I never invited mum and dad to one show so it could be good and they’ve got a truce.

“And it is about you and supporting you so yeah, I love that.”

Jennifer Lopez’s marriage to Ben Affleck was a ‘publicity stunt’, claims first husband

JENNIFER Lopez’s marriage to Ben Affleck was a “publicity stunt” engineered to revive her star power, her first husband has claimed.

The Latina pop diva, 57, wed actor Ben in 2022 — exactly 20 years after the superstar couple infamously called off their first wedding.

But in an exclusive interview, Cuban-born personal trainer Ojani Noa, 52, said: “That marriage was a publicity stunt. She needed people to talk about her again.”

Jennifer married Ojani in February 1997, following a whirlwind romance.

Ojani, who lives in Florida, has said the seeds of her diva behaviour were sown long before she became a household name.

He said: “She was emotional when I did romantic things and insecure about her acting.”

Ojani scoffs at the carefully manufactured working-class narrative, alleging that the Jennifer he met had lived a remarkably comfortable, middle-class life.

And he says the Jennifer he knew was a “sweet naive young woman”.

He said: “She was working on a TV show at 18. She had money and her mum was a teacher. She is a fake.”

The Sun on Sunday revealed yesterday how Jennifer’s marriage to Ojani ended after he accused her of cheating on him with her ex, disgraced rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Diddy was convicted last year of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

Tennis ‘heartthrob’ Arthur Fery joins popular dating app after Wimbledon heroics made him a ‘household name’

WILDCARD Arthur Fery captured the nation’s hearts when he powered his way to the Wimbledon semi-finals.

And now it seems he is looking for the perfect match off-court after signing up to celebrity dating app Raya.

Arthur has made sure his sporting prowess is front and centre on his profile and lists his job as a professional tennis player.

The British singles No1 also added a snap of him shaking hands with Kate Middleton on the day of the men’s final.

Arthur even offered to coach Prince George and Princess Charlotte, saying: “If you guys want to hit some balls any time, just let me know; that would be great.”

However, he has chosen to crop the Princess of Wales out of the frame on his dating profile.

A source said: “Arthur became a household name in a matter of days after reaching the Wimbledon semi-final as a wildcard entry.

“He is hoping to follow in the footsteps of Andy Murray, who made history when he won at Wimbledon in 2013 and 2016. Arthur has also become a heartthrob among Gen-Z and his professional sports background makes him a catch.”

On Raya, the tennis ace has included a snap of him waving to the crowd on Wimbledon’s Centre Court following his crushing semi-final defeat to Germany’s Alexander Zverev earlier this month.

He has also added a pic showing him in action on the famous grass court along with a post-match interview during the tournament.

Meanwhile, Arthur mentioned he was educated at prestigious Stanford University in the US, where he studied science, technology and society on a tennis scholarship.

The French-born player has linked his profile to We Are The People by Australian electronic music duo Empire of the Sun.

Speaking about his music taste, Arthur previously said: “I like [Aussie dance music act] Rufus Du Sol. It gets me in the zone.

“I like British rappers as well. Dave, Central Cee.”

Arthur was thought to be dating former schoolmate Honor Millard, a foodie influencer known online as The Honorable Chef.

But it definitely seems he is searching for a new doubles partner.

TYLA looks cappy-go-lucky, as she performs on US telly.

The South African singer wore the leopard-print hat with a metallic bralette for her set on NBC’s Today show at New York’s Rockefeller Plaza.

It came as she released her second studio album, A*Pop, which includes hot tracks That Girl and Kiss.

Meanwhile, fans can also snap up a £63 Tyla Bratz doll, decked out in the same dress Tyla wore to the Met Gala in New York in May.

Oh, and I’ve been told the singer will be making her way to London this week.

LIL BIT OF HAPPINESS FOR JESSIE

Jessie J and Biz on Sunday’s Emily Webber Credit: Supplied

JESSIE J announced her split from former basketball player Chanan Colman this week – but hopefully a catch-up with her showbiz pal Lily Allen gave her reason to Smile.

The pair were seen putting the world to rights just days before Price Tag singer Jessie confirmed the end of her four-year relationship.

They were deep in conversation at London’s Royal Albert Hall, where they attended the Silver Clef Awards and were both recognised for their contribution to music.

Earlier in the night, Jessie told Biz on Sunday’s Emily that she is “living in the moment”.

The star, who has three-year-old son Sky with Chanan, announced she was cancer-free in May after her diagnosis with early-stage breast cancer last year.

She said: “There is always a risk of it coming back, so I want to celebrate every day that I don’t have it. I would love to learn how to ride a bike – I can’t, which is sad, isn’t it? I want to learn Danish and how to play the piano.

“Living in the moment and having a bit of perspective – my son is the core of my world so everything stems from him.”

Jessie also told how she loves touring, adding: “My touring family . . . get through whatever challenges we have.”

LOTTIE’S IN HER HOLISTIC PHASE

LOTTIE MOSS is following in the footsteps of Gwyneth Paltrow by setting up her own wellness brand.

I can reveal that the younger sister of supermodel Kate Moss has set up a holistic community that will offer sound baths, yoga and breathwork events.

US actress Gwynnie has made millions from her wellness and lifestyle brand Goop, which she set up in 2008.

I am told Lottie has also taken inspiration from actress Pamela Anderson and wants to “strip back” her image after she started modelling at 16.

The brand – Phase II – has recently set up an Instagram page and promises, “a wellness concept for discovering the next phase of your life”.

A source said: “Lottie wants to create a community that has wellness at the core.

“She wants it to be accessible for everyone and wants to help people find balance in their life. A lot of wellness challenges set unrealistic expectations and that is what Lottie wants to avoid.

“Her main message is that she wants people to have fun and go out but also enjoy yoga on the weekend.

“It does not need to be one or the other.”

It comes after her sister Kate closed down her wellness and beauty brand Cosmoss last June after three years.

It sold products including a £125 Sacred Mist perfume and £95 pots of face cream.

Lottie, who is currently dating art dealer Themy Kalaitzis, has previously opened up about her battle with addiction and how the toxic culture of the modelling industry affected her mental health.

Sounds like she is stepping into this next chapter of her life with a yoga mat in hand.

IT’S ALL CHA-CHA-CHANGE

STRICTLY Come Dancing bosses have unveiled the five new professional dancers that will be hitting the dancefloor this autumn.

Ukranian dancer Aleksandra Isaeva is ranked in the world’s top 21 Latin dancers.

She has been dubbed the new Nadiya Bychkova as the blonde pair both hail from the same country.

Speaking about her new BBC role, Aleksandra said: “I’ve been living and breathing dance for as long as I can remember, so joining the Strictly family is a true honour.”

She will be joined by her Italian dancer partner Cristian Priori, who has revealed that he is “excited to begin this new chapter”.

South African Latin Champion Lethabo Monametsi – who has been on stage with Diana Ross and composer Hans Zimmer – also joins the line-up after starring on The Masked Singer SA.

And Canadian champ Mark Karmalita and Bournemouth-born Maddie Ingoldsby will make their debut on the show this September, too.

I bet they can’t wait to hit the ballroom in their sequins.

PRICE OF FAME FOR PRINCESS

KATIE PRICE’s love life has been nothing short of a soap opera.

But that has not stopped the former glamour model – who, in January, married conman Lee Andrews ten days after she met him in Dubai – from giving her kids some dating advice.

Katie stars on ITV2 series The Princess Diaries alongside her daughter Princess and son Junior who she shares with her ex-husband, Peter Andre.

In scenes set to air, Katie says: “When you are in the public eye and you meet someone and want a relationship with them, you’re so proud to be with them but try to keep it as private as you can for as long as you can.

“Because there will be a point where someone will get a picture or something like that and I find that hard.”

Princess added: “If I was seeing someone, I would want to make sure it was a long-term thing before I make it known.

“My mum’s love life has been all over everywhere and yeah, I probably wouldn’t want mine to be like that.”

The third series of The Princess Diaries airs is due to air on July 28.

RACHEL BAGS GIFT FOR TOUR

RACHEL CHINOURIRI has revealed that Sabrina Carpenter bought her a designer handbag to say thanks for joining her on the road.

The British singer-songwriter supported the Manchild hitmaker on the UK and European leg of her Short n’ Sweet Tour last year.

Speaking to Biz on Sunday’s Emily at the Silver Clef Awards, Rachel said: “She did get me a gift. I got her one then she got me one.”

Rachel remained tight-lipped on the brand but said: “She got me a handbag. It was on the wishlist. It was so iconic.”

She admitted: “I haven’t used it yet and it is perched on the side because I don’t want anything to happen to it.”

We all need a friend like Sabrina . . .

MAYA JAMA looks a gem – as she reveals her newly golden hair.

The Love Island host posted the shot of her highlights ahead of the dating show’s grand final in Majorca tomorrow night.

She showed off her figure in a white tank top and snakeskin trousers, and playfully teased in the caption: “Who is she.”

The winning couple of the ITV2 dating show will get £50,000 – but we reckon Maya looks a million dollars.

HAIR’S TO YOU, LORENZO

LOVE ISLAND’S Lorenzo Alessi has become the stand-out star of this year’s ITV series.

The businessman, who has Italian and Turkish-Cypriot heritage, has already been inundated with offers from talent agencies – and he hasn’t even left the villa in Majorca yet.

I hear that agents are eyeing up Lorenzo, right, to attend Milan and London Fashion Week in September.

It comes after former UK Vogue editor Edward Enniful hinted he could be the next Molly-Mae Hague.

A source said: “Lorenzo is going to face a bidding war when he comes out of the villa.

“He has a great head of hair, which would make him perfect for a men’s haircare brand, and he ticks a lot of boxes in the style stakes.”

Lorenzo is also the favourite to take home the £50,000 prize in tomorrow night’s Love Island final, following his romance with Polish-born insurance broker Julia Majchrzak.

Sounds like he will be a winner whatever the outcome.

I squared up to piece of s**t Diddy & told him I’ll f**k you up after J-Lo cheated on me with him, reveals first husband

JENNIFER Lopez’s first husband squared up to Sean “Diddy” Combs in a blazing row after the rapper had an affair with his wife, The Sun on Sunday can reveal.

In a world-exclusive interview, Ojani Noa — the original Mr J-Lo — claims he confronted the disgraced star in a terrifying Hollywood bust-up.

A defiant Ojani reveals: “She cheated on me with Diddy.

“I confronted him and told him I wasn’t scared of him.”

Ojani also tells for the first time how Diddy threatened superstar Jennifer — now 57 — and verbally abused the singer at her own home, leaving her “in fear for her life”.

Cuban-born Ojani married J-Lo in 1997, a little over a year after a passionate whirlwind meeting but they split 11 months later as Jennifer’s hunger for global fame took over.

Jennifer then started officially dating Diddy, now 56, in 1999 but the toxic couple finished their tumultuous relationship in 2001.

Now her relationship with Diddy has come into the spotlight again after he was accused of running a sex-trafficking ring and convicted last year of engaging in two counts of transportation of prostitution.

Ojani, a 52-year-old personal trainer living in Florida, today discloses for the first time the explosive moment he stepped in to protect his ex-wife from the Bad Boy Records founder.

He recalls: “It was the year she dumped him.

“We were still friends and we had decided to start over again.

“Everyone makes mistakes and deserves to be forgiven once.

“She had tried to dump Diddy before and he had threatened her and her family.

“He turned up to her assistant’s birthday party in Los Angeles — which Jennifer had thrown for her — and everyone was shocked.

“I went over to him and told him to leave and he told me to back off. He asked me who I was, to which I replied, ‘F*** you’. I told him he had slept with my wife.

“Jennifer got in between us. She said he would leave but he didn’t.

“I got upset with her and at the end of the night she got in his car and left.”

The dramatic showdown at the party was only the beginning of a terrifying campaign of intimidation.

Ojani says that a few weeks later Jennifer — who has always remained notoriously tight-lipped in public about her dark history with Diddy — called him, “terrified” after the rapper turned up at her Los Angeles home and began screaming her name.

He reveals: “She said she was scared and afraid so I instantly left work and came over.

“When I got there it was pitch black and I couldn’t see anyone, so he must have been hiding. As I drove in he started shouting and telling her he knew I was inside.

“That’s when I fronted him up. Jennifer was on the balcony and told me not to as she was worried.

“She told me he had guns but I told him that I would f* him up.

“She said she was going to call the cops but a neighbour must have called them as they turned up and Diddy ran away.

“She had said to me before that he could do bad things. But I told him to his face that he was a coward.

“That’s why he was always with bodyguards with guns because anyone could take him one on one.”

Ojani arrived in the US illegally aged 15, after making the perilous 90-mile trip from his home in Cuba to Florida with six friends on a homemade raft.

Washing dishes at Latin pop singer Gloria Estefan’s Miami restaurant, Larios On The Beach, the ambitious 22-year-old worked his way up to become head waiter.

It was there that he first locked eyes with Jennifer, then 27. The pair hit it off immediately and Ojani packed up his life to move to Los Angeles to be with her.

He famously asked her to marry him with a diamond ring during the crowded wrap party for her breakout film Selena.

Lucrative offers came flooding in from every corner of the entertainment industry, including a multi-million-dollar record deal from Sony music mogul Tommy Mottola.

But that meteoric rise to the top was the moment things started to unravel between the newlyweds.

Ojani says: “Everything was great and we were so in love.

“I was in charge of launching a nightclub in LA called The Conga Room which was part-owned by Jen, while she went off to make her debut album — On The 6 — in New York and Miami. That was when Diddy was drafted in to help produce several tracks.

“They knew each other way before the media reported they did.

“She started hanging out with Diddy more and more, and I started seeing her less and less.

“Then the rumours started. I still had a lot of friends working in Miami hotels who would call to say they had seen them hanging out and leaving together.

“She would tell me it was just work. But then a picture appeared in the US magazines of her sitting on Diddy’s lap at the pool of Miami Beach Hotel. We started to fight really badly as I knew she was cheating on me.”

Desperate for answers, Ojani took a six-hour flight from Los Angeles to Miami to sneak past security into Jennifer’s luxury hotel suite.

He waited for hours to challenge her face-to-face.

“She was on her own,” he said.

“But she was shocked I was there.

“I told her again she was cheating and we got into a massive fight.

“The next morning she went to the studio and I went back to Los Angeles. She rang me and said I couldn’t do that again.”

As the marriage crumbled, Jennifer’s public relations machine was working overtime to present a picture of domestic bliss to the world.

Ojani says an appearance on the Oprah Winfrey Show, where a beaming J-Lo told millions of viewers that she was “happily married”, was the final straw.

“We went to the Oscars and she was using me so she could pretend to everyone that everything was OK. It wasn’t. So we got divorced.”

It was the first of her four divorces. She went on to marry dancer Cris Judd, music icon Marc Anthony, and actor Ben Affleck.

Why Callum Turner’s plasterer dad missed starstudded wedding to Dua Lipa

IT was billed as the showbiz wedding of the year. As Elton John, Charli XCX and Hollywood royalty descended on Sicily to watch Callum Turner marry Dua Lipa in a £1.5million extravaganza, one notable guest was nowhere to be seen.

Instead of raising a glass with his son, Callum’s father Laurence Coles was more than 2,000 miles away at an altogether different event in North London. Now, I can reveal the shocking reason why the actor’s dad missed the celebrity ceremony – and the complicated family history that makes his absence all the more surprising.

Two thousand miles away in North London was Laurence Coles – known to friends as ‘Larry’, and to Callum Turner, ‘Dad’.

The actor has previously described his relationship with Laurence as “loose” – hardly surprising given the pair spent much of Callum’s childhood living at opposite sides of the world.

However Larry’s recent return to the UK has allowed him to build a relationship with Callum – with the family spending time together and mingling on holidays.

Yet, in an unexpected turn, I am told that Laurence, who lives in Hastings, East Sussex, travelled to London for a wedding – albeit not his son’s.

Callum’s parents Larry and Rosemary Turner were unmarried and living at separate addresses when he was born in February 1990.

Callum was given his mother’s name, Turner, and was brought up by Rosemary in a council flat on an estate in Chelsea, West London.

Meanwhile, Larry was beginning an entirely different life on the other side of the world.

The former Hammersmith plasterer swapped London’s building sites for Sydney, where he also retrained as a psychotherapist, settled down and started a second family – leaving Callum growing up almost 10,000 miles away.

Fast-forward three decades and things looked very different.

Despite the fractured start to their relationship, father and son appear to have grown much closer in recent years.

But in a surprising twist to their father-son relationship, Larry not only missed his son’s wedding – he was attending a completely different one instead.

Instead, he was a guest of Jamie Rae Keeble – the daughter of Spandau Ballet drummer John Keeble – as she tied the knot in the capital on the same day as Dua and Callum.

The contrast could hardly have been starker. While Callum’s guests were arriving at a secluded Sicilian estate by chauffeured cars for what insiders dubbed the “showbiz wedding of the year”, Laurence was celebrating another couple’s big day back in the capital.

The revelation comes despite signs that father and son had grown closer in recent years

Last Christmas, Callum was pictured enjoying a festive meal with Laurence, fiancée Dua and his younger half-siblings Louis and Clemmie after Larry returned to Britain following almost three decades in Australia.

Clemmie has become particularly close to the couple, joining Dua on girls’ trips to Ibiza.

She also has a sweet snap of her and Callum on her Instagram from the GALA Festival in South London in 2019.

A source said: “Laurence and Callum have been estranged over the years but it was nonetheless strange that he was at a wedding on the same day his son got married.

“Laurence kept a low profile but some people questioned the fact that he was at a wedding on the same day his son was marrying Dua.”

Growing up, Callum’s mum Rosemary worked as a promoter for the clubs in SW3 – brushing shoulders with models and musicians on the fashionable King’s Road in London’s Chelsea.

Rosemary is now the co-founder of Counselling For Life and is described as an “experienced psychotherapist” on LinkedIn.

The actor previously told the Evening Standard: “The thing I always found interesting in my childhood was, yeah, I was growing up on an estate, single mum, working-class, but then I also had all these colourful characters around.

“It wasn’t about navigating two worlds,” he said. “There were three, four, five more.”

However Callum, who starred in Marc Webb’s 2017 film The Only Living Boy in New York, also said the father-son relationship was “alien” to him.

“I didn’t understand the relationship between the son and the father,” he said in 2019.

“It was completely alien to me.”

Larry, now 66 and once again single, lives in a period flat in a smart garden square in fashionable Hastings on the east Sussex coast, from where he practices his therapy.

Friends locally have said they know Larry is now in regular contact with his son, and is reportedly “unashamedly proud of Callum.”

That makes his absence from one of the biggest days of the actor’s life all the more surprising.

Though his father wasn’t in attendance, Callum’s half-siblings Louis and Clemmie attended the spectacular Sicilian wedding,

Beyond family, their three-day Sicily extravaganza was every bit the A-list affair insiders had promised.

Around 200 guests descended on the 18th-century Villa Valguarnera, with Joe Alwyn, Mark Ronson, Grace Gummer, George Daniel, Elton John and Charli XCX among those celebrating.

Guests were reportedly asked to sign non-disclosure agreements, while metal barriers surrounded the historic estate to keep fans and photographers at bay.

The property, which featured in the opening credits of HBO drama The White Lotus 2, is widely considered one of the most historically and culturally significant villas in Sicily.

It was once a Mafia hideout but has since been taken on by 76-year-old Italian author and translator Vittoria Alliata di Villafranca, the Princess of Valguarnera, who still lives in the estate.

One Kiss hitmaker Dua, who has an estimated net worth of £150million, and Callum hired the venue for a reported £86,000.

Dua stunned in a bespoke Chanel haute couture gown featuring a seven-foot train, handcrafted using 25,000 feathers and almost half a million beads, while Callum opted for a custom Louis Vuitton suit.

Days earlier the pair had made things official during a private legal ceremony at London’s Old Marylebone Town Hall before jetting to Sicily for the lavish celebration.

Dua was introduced to Callum in 2023 while having dinner at The River Cafe in London with her dad and manager Dukagjin Lipa.

They were introduced by the restaurant’s co-founder, Ruth Rogers, after having crossed paths many times before.

The Sun revealed that the pair officially started dating in 2024 and confirmed their engagement in British Vogue last summer.

Dua told the fashion bible: “This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don’t know, be best friends forever – it’s a really special feeling.”

Reps for both Jade and Jordan have been approached for comment.

Last month, they failed to post about their sixth anniversary together, which they had shared updates about in the past.

They have also not been photographed together for several months – with their last red carpet appearance as a couple being at February’s Brit Awards where they partied until the early hours.

Neither have posted about each other on Instagram since mid-March, and Jordan recently wiped all of the TikTok videos they made together from his profile.

When asked in June about progress on her second album, she hinted at her heartache.

She told The Fader: “I’m just writing stuff. Whatever I’m going through at the minute, like privately, I’m sort of putting pen to paper.

“I think this is the exciting phase or the experimental phase, where you don’t know what it’s going to be yet.”

Jade also attended her bandmate Perrie Edwards’ wedding in Portugal last month without him.

The Sun first revealed they were dating in 2020 after they went on a series of socially distanced walks during the Covid lockdowns.

The Shout Out To My Ex singer said she “slid into his DMs” after a friend suggested they would be a good match, and they had dates on video call.

She explained: “It was through a friend. I slid in the DMs. I’d been doing this for quite a while. I kept getting pied left, right and centre.

“Jordan and I did a few Zoom dates in lockdown. We made a joke and said it was business and put suits and ties on and asked each other questions. I did the full shebang, a full suit.

“Then we had a socially distanced date in Greenwich park, apart from each other just chatting.”

Jordan recently took over as co-host of the popular Miss Me? podcast with Miquita Oliver, replacing Lily Allen.

Fans had noticed he hasn’t spoken about Jade on the podcast for several weeks.

He had a successful career as one half of pop duo Rizzle Kicks from 2008 to 2016 before relaunching the group in 2024.

As a musician, Jordan also worked on her debut album That’s Showbiz Baby! which was released last year.

Jade said at the time: “I actually really didn’t want to date a musician. I’d done it previously; it never works out well. But it’s amazing now. We write together.

“He’s on my album; I’m on his. Jordan’s on the backing vocals for Headache.”

She is currently on a festival tour which will see her spend August travelling across America, Japan, Ireland and the UK.

Katie Price threatens her ‘truce’ with Peter Andre with TikTok swipes at ‘controlling’ star

KATIE Price has today threatened her “truce” with her first husband, Peter Andre.

It came after four-times wed Katie, 48, reposted a series of social media swipes at the “controlling” star, 53, as fans continue to react to her explosive Sky documentary.

Today, the former pin-up shared two TikTok videos that were sympathetic to what she had been through with men.

One of the clips showed a snippet from her documentary where Katie was alleging that she “wasn’t allowed to go out” during her relationship with Peter, implying that he “controlled” what she did.

Over the short video was written: “Nothing could ever make me hate Katie Price after watching her new documentary.”

The second TikTok clip that Katie re-posted was a fan’s statement which read: “The Katie Price documentary is just a prime example of how a man can manipulate you, make you thinkyou’rer weak and basically knock any confidence that you had outoff.

“That poor girl has been ruined by men over and over; we let them get in our heads and believe every bad word they say about us.”

What made it even more clear that the TV star was taking a swipe at her ex, was they were the only two videos that she has shared that aren’t plugging her CBD brand.

The fresh swipe threatens to derail their famous “truce”, which was called earlier this year.

Katie and Peter’s love story started in the I’m A Celebrity jungle in 2004.

After a whirlwind romance, they had an extravagant wedding the following year.

However after numerous reality shows following their lives, the relationship ended in acrimonious divorce in 2009.

Relations between the pair were fraught until they released a shock joint statement in February this year, agreeing to a truce.

Katie and Peter posted on social media: “We are both focused on creating a calm and supportive environment for our children. W

“e are hoping this is the start of a positive relationship.”

Speaking to The Sun earlier this month about the truce, Katie said: ““Do you know what, I’m at peace with myself.

“It doesn’t mean to say I’ll ever forget anything. But I’ve just got better things in my life. What’s the point in reminiscing about the past like that? I’ve got no energy for it.

“I want to put all my energy into me and the future. I’ve seen all the TikToks of us [fans often share clips of Pete berating Katie on their reality shows], so I don’t have to say anything.”

First look at Melanie C’s Adidas-themed wedding outfit as she marries boyfriend of three years in incredible ceremony

MELANIE C has shared a first look at her wedding after tying the knot with her boyfriend of three years, Chris Dingwall.

The couple got married in a stunning ceremony in the grounds of The Country House Cumbria on Saturday and were joined by their loved ones, including her Spice Girls bandmates.

In new pictures, the pair are seen walking down the steps after getting married as they look like the epitome of happiness.

In one snap, Melanie beams from ear to ear as she and Chris hold hands.

Another photo shows the two looking into one another’s eyes as they pose in the grounds of their wedding venue.

Mel B, Geri Horner and Emma Bunton were all in attendance as Victoria Beckham was noticeably absent from the big day.

Mel C breaks silence on wedding & how Victoria Beckham helped after missing it

She was unable to attend as she was in the US with husband David for yesterday’s World Cup final.

Despite not being able to be there, she designed her pal’s beautiful backless, white wedding gown.

The chic gown, which oozed elegance and featured a swooping backline, was plucked straight from Posh’s collection of her own Victoria Beckham gowns in her wardrobe.

Melanie C wore a custom Adidas robe to get ready for the ceremony, made from ivory silk with white silk stripes.

The look was completed with custom white and gold sliders featuring the wedding date in gold on the side.

After the meal, Melanie C changed into another custom Adidas look — an elevated interpretation of a tracksuit, with high-waisted, wide-legged trousers and a cropped jacket featuring a peaked lapel and deep ribbed waistband.

This look was again made from ivory silk with white silk stripes, worn with custom Superstar trainers.

Insiders said Mel B and Geri, who have not seen eye to eye since Scary accused Baby of lying about her age in 2022, put on a cordial display.

A source told The Sun on Saturday: “Mel and Chris’ wedding was perfect, they couldn’t be happier.

“They chose a classy, laid-back ceremony before a reception with their closest friends and family.

“Mel B gave a speech which got a lot of laughs, as well as some tears — it was really beautiful.

“Geri was there but there was no awkwardness between her and Mel B.

“It was a day for celebrating Mel and Chris’s love for each other and that was all anyone wanted to do.”

Insiders said the reception at the venue, in Castle Carrock on the edge of the Pennines, went on until the early hours of yesterday.

Melanie C, 52, told British Vogue the wedding was “low-key, relaxed, romantic and chic”.

She added: “I’m so excited for the world to know he’s my husband.”

Melanie said of her wedding dress: “Victoria’s dress was my something borrowed. It was very special, having her there.

“Victoria wanted to make it much more personal to me.

“She found some ­gorgeous vintage lace, and everything was really delicately dyed to the perfect shade. It’s very flattering, open at the back.”

Melanie’s daughter Scarlett, 17, from her relationship with Thomas Starr, was bridesmaid at her special day.

Melanie is the last of the girls from the pop group to tie the knot, having met Australian model Chris back in 2023 on celeb dating app Raya. 

Melanie and Chris have kept a lot of their romance under wraps with fans desperate to know about her relationship with the Aussie star.

She told The Times back in January: “It’s something I didn’t think would be part of my story [marriage], but I’m so happy with Chris”.

How Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s divorce became most toxic Hollywood split EVER with shock new twist after 10 years

ONCE the golden couple of Hollywood, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s multi- million-pound divorce battle rumbled on longer than they were man and wife.

And ten years since proceedings first started, the bitterness between those involved shows no sign of slowing down.

Brad, 62, watched in horror this week as the final steps were taken to remove any trace of him from the once-glorified “Brangelina” clan.

In a brutal move, his children Maddox, 24, and Zahara, 21, have both filed court papers to officially change their surname from Jolie-Pitt to just Jolie.

Siblings Shiloh, 20, and Vivienne, 18, have already turned their backs on the Pitt name, while Knox, 18, has also dropped it from informal documents and is estranged from Brad.

This leaves only Pax, 23, still using the Pitt surname.

Insiders say that Brad has been left privately “devastated” by the decision.

A source said: “One by one, his children, who he was once so close to, have removed their connection to him.

“He really wonders if he’ll ever rebuild bridges with his shattered brood now.”

It is the latest twist in the family saga, following on from allegations of physical abuse, financial coercion and severe family PTSD as well as a Father’s Day Instagram post from Pax calling Brad a “world-class a**hole”.

It all helps cement Brad and Angelina’s divorce as perhaps the most toxic the entertainment world has ever seen.

In September, it will have been a decade since Maleficent star Angelina, 51, first filed for divorce from movie heart-throb Brad.

Their relationship started not long after they met on the set of 2005 film Mr & Mrs Smith, when Brad was still married to Jennifer Aniston.

They wed in 2014 but, less than two years later, in September 2016, they split in explosive fashion.The former couple had previously adopted Maddox, Zahara and Pax before having Shiloh, Vivienne and Knox.

But Brad, who was once inseparable from all six kids, has now been well and truly frozen out.

Legal notices published in the Los Angeles Daily Journal yesterday reveal that both Maddox and Zahara have filed petitions to change their surnames.

If approved, the changes will become official in court, with Maddox’s hearing set for September 14 and Zahara’s two weeks later.

Zahara has publicly gone by Zahara Jolie since starting university.

Shiloh legally dropped “Pitt” after turning 18 in 2024, while Vivienne was credited simply as “Vivienne Jolie” as a production assistant for the Broadway show The ­Outsiders.

Pax is the only one still using the Pitt surname, but he has an incredibly difficult relationship with his dad, who he once claimed made his younger siblings ­“tremble in fear”.

Brad’s relationship with his children seemed to change for ever after an ill-fated flight in 2016, which also marked the end of the high-profile showbiz marriage.

The couple are said to have tried to keep their blistering rows from the children, but that became impossible in the confines of a private jet.

In a report filed by the FBI about the incident, Angelina claimed Brad yelled at her before pulling her into the toilet, where he pushed her against the wall and punched the ceiling repeatedly.

It is also alleged that when one of their kids tried to protect their mum, Brad “choked one of the children and struck another in the face”.

It has long been rumoured that it was Maddox who was assaulted.

The report said Brad then poured beer on his family as they tried to sleep.

The incident led to an investigation by children’s services, with Angelina being awarded temporary full custody and Brad only allowed supervised visits. He was later fully cleared.

Just days later, Angelina filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable diff­erences.

Pax’s private Instagram post on Father’s Day 2020 suggests the kids experienced problems before and after the plane incident.

He wrote: “You time and time again prove yourself to be a terrible and despicable person.

“You have no consideration or empathy toward your four youngest children, who tremble in fear when in your presence.

“You will never understand the damage you have done to my family because you’re incapable of doing so.”

Brad later confirmed that his boozing had become a problem, revealing he had visited Alcoholics Anonymous groups.

He said: “I had taken things as far as I could take it, so I removed my drinking privileges.

“You had all these men sitting around being open and honest in a way I have never heard.

“It was this safe space where there was little judgment, and therefore little judgment of yourself. It was actually really freeing just to expose the ugly sides of yourself.

“There’s great value in that.”

The confession did nothing to quell the animosity between the parties, though.

And while the divorce might have been finalised in 2024 — after eight agonising years — another legal fight is still rumbling on.

The former lovers are locked in an acrimonious $350million court battle, known as the War Of The Rosés, over Angelina’s decision to secretly sell her stake in their ­Chateau Miraval vineyard and home for $64million to Russian booze tycoon Yuri Shefler in 2021.

Brad then sued her in a bid to void the sale.

The couple bought the 1,300-acre Miraval estate in Provence, southern France, in 2008 and married there in 2014.

Angelina claims she originally wanted to sell her stake to Brad, but he demanded she sign an $8.5million non-disclosure agreement as part of the deal.

Her legal team argued it was a coercive tactic to prevent her ­talking about his alleged abuse.

A trial has been scheduled for February 1 next year.

Insiders have claimed that Brad’s partner of four years, Ines de Ramon, 33, has tried to persuade him to end the hostilities.

A source said: “Ines wants to have a life together — with possibly children in the future — without the albatross that is the eight-year War Of The Rosés.”

While Angelina’s attorneys have filed explosive allegations in court, she has kept a mostly dignified silence.

In 2020, the actress turned human rights advocate addressed the ugly split in a rare interview with Vogue.

She said: “I separated for the wellbeing of my family. It was the right decision.

“I continue to focus on their healing.”

During another interview, when asked if she worried about the safety of her children, she said: “Yes, for my family. My whole family.”

And during the Press tour for her 2021 Marvel film Eternals, in which she played Thena, a warrior battling memory loss and a fantasy-world version of PTSD, she revealed that she had been diagnosed with the condition.

She said: “I had talked to the director about experiencing PTSD myself a few years ago and my own fears about not being strong enough to protect those that I love.”

And while Brad might have moved on, Angelina, who was widely once considered one of the world’s most beautiful women, remains single.

Last month, she said: “To be candid, I haven’t dated since I divorced a decade ago.

“So I kind of get in my head that that aspect of me is not centered in my life if I’m focusing on my children, my family.”

It is true that all six children have certainly been caught up in the crossfire of their parents’ decade-long war, with the sorry saga serving as a cautionary tale to other Hollywood couples on the cusp of divorce.

Now, as the February 2027 trial over the battle for the French vineyard looms, peace still seems a long way off.

And while Brad might still be fighting over his financial future, his legacy with his family appears to be long gone.

Mystery as Andy Carroll and Lou Teasdale re-share loved up snaps despite split

ANDY Carroll and Lou Teasdale have sparked rumours they’re back together after re-sharing loved up snaps on Instagram.

The Sun exclusively revealed earlier this week that the pair had ended their relationship again after she struggled to forgive him for breaking a promise he had made to her and a showdown in Ibiza.

It looked like this time it was for good as they unfollowed one another on Instagram and removed all pictures of each other from their grids.

But in a mysterious turn of events, Andy, 37, and Lou, 42, have re-followed each other on the social media platform again.

Not only that, but all of their photos together have reappeared on their respective pages, sparking rumours of a reconciliation.

The Sun have contacted Andy and Lou’s representatives for a comment.

An insider told us at the start of the week: “Things came to a head between Andy and Lou after he flew to Ibiza without her – and broke his sobriety.

“He was partying and having fun, which is fine but she just didn’t expect him to be drinking.

“Andy had promised he wouldn’t touch booze to try and save their relationship, so this feels very disrespectful.

“Lou flew out to Ibiza with some friends but couldn’t talk any sense into him.

“He is struggling with the fact it’s over, but she feels like he’s had enough chances now.”

Footballer Andy and Lou began dating in the summer of 2024 – following his split from wife Billi Mucklow – and have had a rocky relationship since.

In June last year, we reported Andy was twice quizzed by police over bust-ups with Lou during a break on Greek party island Mykonos.

At the time, Andy was accused of being “very drunk” as onlookers claimed he shouted he was “done” with Lou.

However, Lou stood by him as the couple brushed off the controversy.

They claimed the situation was “blown out of proportion” in a joint statement, which read: “Whilst having a private dinner in a restaurant on a quiet holiday in Mykonos, we had a heated discussion of the sort that most couples have had on occasion.

“It quickly became apparent to the police that there was no reason for them to be there.

“We went outside the restaurant with them together as they insisted they wanted to ‘look after’ us.

“As far as we are concerned, the situation has been blown out of all proportion by an interested member of the public. No one was arrested, and no one was charged with anything.”

They added: “We are very happy, in love and looking forward to our future together, and we are disappointed that a private disagreement has become a public matter.”

The couple split again in August of last year and at the time, Andy opened up about his ongoing booze issues.

In August, Andy said he was fighting to save the relationship – and confirmed they had been rowing about his drinking.

He said at the time: “Things have been difficult for me and I’m going through a divorce.

“Some of our rows have been about alcohol, as Lou has been teetotal for 14 years and I have a beer or wine at dinner and a drink after the game, but it’s not a problem in my life.

“I’m a professional footballer and that’s not the case. I play sport every single day so my level of fitness is really good. I play football every day so I’m fit.”

Lou garnered fame for famously being the hairdresser and make-up artist to One Direction and now has 5.4 million Instagram followers.

Andy married Towie star Billi Mucklow in 2022 but two years later, it was announced the couple were divorcing.

He shares three children with Billi, and has two from a previous relationship.

Lou is a mum to 14-year-old daughter Lux Atkin from a previous relationship.

Una recently opened up to The Sun about the single life and insisted that she was “very happy on her own right now”.

“I’m enjoying being single, but I do have nights where I think: ‘Wouldn’t it be nice to have someone to cosy into?’” she told us.

“However, I know it sounds cliched and corny, but I have all I need at home with my family.”

Una’s decision to stay single comes after a string of very public heartbreak.

The singer’s six-year marriage to rugby star Ben Foden ended in 2018.

It came after the shattering discovery that he had cheated on a night out with rugby pals in February 2015, days after the birth of their son Tadhg, now ten.

The sports star then shocked fans when he wed his second wife Jackie, just TWO days after his divorce from Una was finalised.

After Ben, Una found herself at the centre of “throuple” rumours with David Haye.

The rumour mill went into overdrive when she was snapped in her bikini on holiday standing next to the boxer, with his wife Sian on the other side.

It was widely reported that the three had started a “throuple” romance, something which Una has STRONGLY denied.

However, the singer insisted she only dated David, not Sian, and said they had a “lovely relationship”.

In an interview with the My Therapist Ghosted Me podcast in May 2023, Una said: “I’m a monogamous person, hopefully I will settle down again one day with a nice monogamous man.”  

She also claimed that when she first met Haye on a dating app, he told her he didn’t “believe that traditional relationships exist anymore.”

She added: “He was honest that I wasn’t the only woman he was seeing. I was very aware that he was seeing other people.

“I was like, ‘I’m out. This isn’t for me. He can have whoever he wants’. One will never be enough for him.” 

The star has also dated jockey Aidan Coleman and Irish singer Darren Flynn.

Despite wanting to embrace single life, Una has dipped her toe into the dating app pool, and even signed up to the celebrity site, Raya.

“Sometimes I think I would like that person, but I’m not gonna settle for anyone,” she told us.

“I went on and off Raya a few times – it was like fishing in a swamp. I’m working hard on myself, I’m not looking at all. As my friend says, ‘I am gonna attract, not chase.’”

Soaking up the sun, Olivia showed off her enviable figure in the tiny bikini.

The plunging two piece also revealed her long legs and toned tum.

The pair were first spotted looking very close while lounging on a boat in Ibiza last summer.

Then in March, following her marriage split, Olivia admitted she was trying to move on from her ex-husband.

“Yes, I’m dating,” wrote Olivia.

“Yes, I’m getting up every single day even when I have cried all night to film the shows I love filming, record my podcast, record my radio show, shoot campaigns and somewhere in there TRY to move on.”

Since then, Pete and Olivia haven’t been able to keep their hands off each other.

The smitten couple were recently spotted snogging in Saint-Tropez.

The pair are yet to officially confirm their romance, but have been snapped out on several cosy dates.

Olivia’s new romance came straight off the back of her painful split from Bradley, with Olivia accusing him of “cheating”.

The former couple first met in 2015, dated for three months, and then went their separate ways.

Olivia then went on Love Island in 2017, met Chris Hughes, 32, but they soon split, and Liv reunited with Bradley.

The footy star proposed two years later, and they tied the knot in 2023.

Meanwhile, Pete is famous for his Lothario reputation and has dated a string of beauties – including Maura Higgins, 35, Megan McKenna, 33, and Chloe Sims, 44.

Cara Delevingne confirms she dated Amber Heard during her messy divorce from Johnny Depp

CARA Delevingne has confirmed she dated actress Amber Heard in the midst of her messy divorce from Johnny Depp.

Supermodel Cara was linked to Amber back in 2016, the same year the latter filed for divorce from Pirates Of The Caribbean actor Johnny.

The tumultuous divorce later turned into a very public defamation case, which saw Johnny win $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages.

But amid the split, Amber’s speculated relationship with Cara was never confirmed – despite the pair seen together several times.

Now, in a new interview with Louis Theroux, Cara described the relationship as an ‘entanglement’ and confirmed things did turn romantic.

“Are we going to mention the Johnny Depp thing?” Louis asked Cara during the interview.

As she agreed, he then expanded: “He was driven crazy by the idea that Amber might be sleeping with you.”

“Am I meant to comment?” replied Cara.

She continued: “It’s because we did a movie together, and it was called London Fields. He was also doing the movie.

“I think he was pretty driven crazy by jealousy. Nothing was happening at that point. Later, after they divorced, it had, I suppose.

“You suppose?” quizzed Louis.

Cara confirmed: “No, I don’t suppose. I know. Yeah.”

As Louis questioned whether the relationship was “an entanglement?”, Cara struggled to find the right words to describe the historic romance.

Louis expanded on the phrase entanglement as he said: “I think it means a relatively short-lived liaison or series of physical encounters.”

Cara confirmed: “We were close for a long time, and then when they were going through the divorce, yeah, we were entangled, I suppose.

“But she was also entangled with other people.”

“Well, with Elon,” interjected Louis as he referenced Amber’s on/off romance with Elon Musk, which is thought to have taken place from 2016 until 2018.

Cara confirmed: “There you go.”

Following her highly publicised legal disputes with ex-husband Johnny in 2022, Amber relocated to Spain for a more quiet life with her daughter, Oonagh Paige.

Last year, she welcomed two more children; a twin girl and twin boy.

While Cara is now in a relationship with singer Minke, whose real name is Leah Mason.

Secret details of Harry Styles’ wedding to Zoë Kravitz revealed as superstar plans to honour fiancée with Stateside bash

HARRY Styles is looking at New Orleans for his wedding to Zoe Kravitz, it can be revealed.

Pals close to the loved-up pair say they think the Southern US town could be a special spot to tie the knot and have researched venues.

Zoe’s famous musician dad Lenny Kravitz has long-standing roots in the town after buying his first home in the Louisiana town, which has deep ties to the blues music scene.

Back at home, the One Direction star, 32, and US actress, 37, this weekend enjoyed London’s heatwave and were snapped cuddling on a picnic blanket on Hampstead Heath.

They confirmed their engagement to close family and friends in April.

A source said: “Harry and Zoe might have a string of celebrity friends and a Hollywood lifestyle but their wedding won’t be like that.

“They’re a cool couple and want something unique.

“Zoe’s family ties to New Orleans, plus the town’s musical history, is making it a front runner and they’ve told pals that they’re looking at options for holding their big day there.”

Rock icon Lenny bought his first home in New Orleans in 1994 – a Creole cottage on Dauphine Street in the French Quarter of New Orleans, a block away from the town’s famous Bourbon Street.

Whilst Zoe grew up in Los Angeles with her mother Lisa Bonet, in her teenage years she spent more time with Lenny at his Miami estate and New Orleans cottage.

The Sun revealed snaps of Zoe with a huge diamond ring on her wedding finger in April.

Ex-One Direction singer Harry and Zoe, who played Catwoman in The Batman, have dated since August last year.

They went public with their relationship in Rome but have since kept matters private and not commented on their status.

Harry is said to have popped the question with a ring worth up to £500,000 and first sparked engagement rumours when he and Zoe flew to the Bahamas just after Christmas to stay in her dad’s home there.

A source said at the time: “If it wasn’t an engagement, then it was something that shows they are very much committed to each other.”

Gary Numan admits way he met his wife at 16 years old ‘could be illegal now’ as they celebrate 29 years of marriage

NEW wave icon Gary Numan has opened up about getting together with his superfan wife – and how it might be ‘illegal’ now.

The Cars singer, 68 – who has been married to Gemma O’Neill, 58, for nearly three decades – met his future spouse in an unconventional way.

The singer first ran into superfan Gemma at an event when he was a 22-year-old artist and she was a young admirer.

Six years later, he posed for a picture with the then 18-year-old and knew to pen it straight to “Gemma”.

Following the sudden loss of O’Neill’s mum, the familiar fan vanished from the crowd at his gigs.

Worried about her, Numan managed to get her number through his fan club to ring her up and make sure she was ok.

“I used the fan club to get her phone number.

“That’s how I attracted her, which I think is illegal now,” he told The Times.

The star continued: “I rang her up and said, ‘Hello, it’s me,’ and she put the phone down – she thought it was somebody playing a cruel trick.”

He called again and was made to prove his identity.

Numan invited her along for a drive for a radio interview – where they had their first date.

He said: “I took her to a Little Chef because I’m very down to earth.

“I don’t do all that flash, rich man, pop star stuff.”

Gary and Gemma didn’t start their relationship until she was in her twenties.

In 1997, Gary married superfan Gemma from Sidcup and they share three daughters; Raven, 23, Persia, 21, and 19-year-old Echo.

His daughter Persia also added vocals to his song My Name Is Ruin.

Numan revealed that Gemma once told a career advisor: “I won’t need a job. I’m going to marry Gary Numan.”

Gary previously said of their relationship: “This is going to sound corny, given that it’s 30 years and four days since our first date, but I miss her even when she’s in a different part of the house.

“She’s everything I am not – which is most things, really.”

The singer, songwriter – who has an estimated net worth of around £5.5 million – toured last year to celebrate the 45th anniversary of his seminal album Telekon.

Sadly, he suffered the traumatic loss of his beloved younger brother John just after his show in Leeds – which he called the ‘worst news of my life’.

Jack White’s wife Olivia Jean files for divorce after 3 years of marriage and lists reasons behind sudden split

ROCK legend Jack White is heading for divorce court after wife Olivia Jean made explosive claims about their whirlwind marriage in newly filed legal documents. 

Singer-songwriter Olivia accused her rocker husband of “inappropriate marital conduct” in the shocking divorce filing.

The docs were submitted on June 3, with Olivia marking that same date as the couple’s official split after three years of marriage, TMZ first reported.

In the petition, she claimed Jack’s alleged behavior made “further cohabitation unsafe and improper,” though no additional details were outlined.

Olivia is also seeking spousal support, saying she relies on Jack financially to cover her bills, and has asked that she remain on his life insurance policy as the divorce moves forward.

The breakup marks the end of a wild relationship that played out as dramatically as it began.

Jack, 50, and Olivia, 36, infamously got engaged and married onstage in April 2022 during one of his concerts at Detroit’s Masonic Temple – in front of a stunned and confused crowd. 

The spontaneous ceremony came after the pair performed The White Stripes hit Hotel Yorba together, with Jack dropping to one knee mid-show before a minister walked onstage moments later.

Their relationship had a long history far before the wedding bells rang.

Olivia, who signed to Jack’s Third Man Records in 2009, first met him through the music industry.

She fronted gothic garage-rock band The Black Belles and later built a solo career while remaining close to Jack professionally. 

The pair kept much of their romance under wraps, with Olivia later revealing they were friends for years before becoming a couple.

As for Jack’s personal life, the split adds another chapter to his famously complicated romantic history.

The rocker was first married to Meg White from 1996 to 2000 – and famously took her last name, which he still uses professionally.

Even after divorcing, the pair continued performing together in The White Stripes and publicly maintained for years that they were siblings rather than ex-spouses.

He later married model and singer Karen Elson in 2005. 

Their split in 2011 appeared amicable – so much so they threw a “divorce party” to celebrate the end of their marriage. 

The exes share two children together: Scarlett and Henry.

Known for fiercely guarding his private life, the typically recluse Jack has rarely spoken publicly about his relationships, often insisting his music should speak louder than his personal drama.

Jack has not yet spoken out about Olivia’s claims but if his past is any indicator, he may once again let the music do the talking.

Liam Payne’s ex Kate Cassidy reveals she’s been ‘dumped’ by new man over ‘comparing’ him to 1D star

LIAM Payne’s ex Kate Cassidy has revealed she’s been “dumped” by her new man over “anger” issues – just two weeks after going official.

The influencer, 27, admitted in April that she felt “ready to start dating again” before sharing a video of her being swept off of her feet by a man.

But it looks like the new romance is over as she took to TikTok to share a relationship update.

Kate told her followers: “I got broken up with, I got dumped you guys.

“I’ve been super MIA online here about my updated dating situation going on, that is because I recently met someone.

“I feel like things were moving super fast kind of, if you know me, you know I have a tendency of moving fast.

“Let’s just name this guy Joe. Joe was really sweet and I feel like he was kind of like a lot of things I wanted in a guy.

“He’s really super low-key, he doesn’t have any social media which I actually really liked. I met his family, he took me on a trip, things were going really well, really quick.

“I f****d up. Dating after losing somebody that you genuinely thought you were going to spend the rest of your life with is really tough because I physically look for Liam in every single guy that I meet,” she bravely admitted.

“If they don’t hit all the check marks, I tend to either back away or almost resent this person and it’s so crazy.

She previously shared a video that said “when you know you know” Credit: TikTok

“There were certain times where I would get so angry with this guy because I physically would be like, ‘oh Liam would do this so why aren’t you doing this?’

“Or he would do something and I would be like, ‘Liam would never do that, why are you doing that?’

“He texted me yesterday and we should go our separate ways because it’s just too much and I understand,” Kate explained.

“I feel sad because I don’t like losing people and I feel like especially in the beginning of a situationship, it’s so fun and you’re so excited to see where it goes.”

Her TikTok followers rallied around her in the comments section and offered her support as she continues to live without Liam.

One person wrote: “The whole point of the dating journey after losing someone is to learn and understand your feelings.

“You won’t always compare every guy to Liam, and you’re learning that as you go along.”

Another social media user penned: “I didn’t know you were actually dating someone, I’m so sorry you got broken up with though, you will find the one someday!”

Somebody else said: “Liam would be proud of you for putting yourself out there again. I’m sure all he wanted was for you to be loved the right way and someone will come along who will do that again.”

While a fourth added: “Your heart isn’t ready yet. Don’t blame yourself. He wasn’t the one.”

Earlier this month, Kate shared a video of herself walking into a lavish event while donning a blue silk gown.

A handsome man in a suit walked beside her and put his arm around her before lifting her up and into his arms.

Twirling her around, the man held on tightly to Kate as she beamed from ear to ear.

“I love having a crush,” she penned in the caption of the post.

Meanwhile, over the top of the video, Kate wrote: “When you know you know.”

The content creator was in a relationship with the One Direction star before his tragic death at the age of 31 in October 2024.

They were together for two years and first met in South Carolina in the Autumn of 2022.

The pair were holidaying together two days before Liam’s fatal fall at a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

What PDA pics of Tina O’Brien with new ‘fame-hungry’ TikTok star beau REALLY reveal… as she plots reality TV comeback

JUST two weeks ago, Tina O’Brien was waxing lyrical about going on her first solo holiday as she embraced single life for the first time in years.

It turned out to be rather short-lived, though, as yesterday the Corrie star was spotted kissing a hunky new man in the street.  Now, insiders tell us why her latest fling – with Irish TikToker Rory Martin – has sparked concern amongst her inner circle, who fear her new beau might have an ulterior motive.

Our insider said: “Tina was genuinely trying to enjoy some time on her own after her recent split, but she has really fallen for Rory’s Irish charm. 

“Rory is no stranger to hanging out with famous women – he was linked to Una Healey last year and has gained a bit of a reputation for being a ladies’ man.

“He loves TikTok fame and will really be enjoying the attention he’ll be getting off the back of dating Tina.

“It’s worrying for her friends, because they don’t want to feel like she is being used.

“Tina is someone who loves love and enjoys being caught up in the whirlwind of it all, and they just don’t want her to rush into anything.”

While her last ex, Adam Fadle, disliked the limelight, Rory, in contrast, is said to be very taken with her high profile.

We’re told Tina now lives in a very well-known area where paps often frequent, so it’s unlikely to have come as a surprise to her that they were photographed.

It’s thought Tina, 42, actually met Rory, 30,  through her daughter, 17-year-old Scarlett, who she shares with ex Ryan Thomas. 

They are said to have connected through the music world. Rory also dabbles in singing and guitar playing, as well as doing social media.

He also works for the ambulance service – but is believed to be in the call centre rather than working as a paramedic, as his social media would suggest.

Our source continued: “People think Rory is some kind of sexy paramedic, but the reality is much less glamorous.

“He really plays up to it in his social media because he knows his thirst traps in his uniform attract both women and men to him.”

Last June, Rory surprised fans by posting a video of him singing with Saturday’s star Una in a kitchen.

We’re told the pair were casually dating for some time and really enjoyed making music together. 

Tina’s new romance comes seven months on from her splitting from her millionaire boyfriend Adam Fadle, whom she met in Cheshire following her move there.

The actress, who is known for playing Sarah Platt on the Cobbles, is thought to have been single since her split from millionaire businessman Adam.

At the time, we revealed that it was interior designer Adam who ended things with the star. Rather than being taken with her glam life in the public eye, we’re told it ended up being a huge turn-off for him.

Our insider said: “He was the one who wanted out and ended it. In a brutal swipe, he said it ended up being like something out of a Coronation Street storyline.”

That relationship was hot on the heels of the end of her marriage to personal trainer Adam Crofts. They got together just four months after it ended. 

Tina and Adam Crofts were married for six years and share a son, Beau, together.

Tina also, of course, has her daughter from her relationship with her former Corrie co-star Ryan Thomas.

Her romance with Ryan lasted from 2003 to 2009, with the pair’s very public split fraught and involving a number of public spats.

Most recently, the pair have been navigating their daughter’s burgeoning singing and social media career together. 

While Ryan has fully embraced that world, Tina’s had a love-hate relationship with social media over the years, vowing to take a break from Instagram in 2020 after calling the site “toxic” and admitting she felt like a “fraud” trying to present a “filtered version” of her life to gain validation. 

But six years on, things are completely different, and she has big plans for the future after signing up to an agency – Alpha Talent Group – which will be helping her land a series of brand partnerships.

Alpha already has a string of celebrity clients. They look after boxer Tommy Fury, The Wanted star Max George, Made in Chelsea’s Miles Nazaire, and Love Island stars Paige Turley, Helena Ford, and twins Eve and Jess Gale.

While Tina is set to branch out on socials, fans shouldn’t expect to see her all over TikTok, like Scarlett and her dad Ryan and his brothers Adam and Scott Thomas are.

Our source previously explained: “She won’t be doing cringe TikTok trends, but there are some exciting brand deals on the horizon.

“And don’t be surprised if she steps out of her comfort zone and does some reality TV – she did Strictly over a decade ago and feels like she wants the public to see her personality.”

And dating another social media star, who has half a million followers on TikTok, is probably not a bad place to start.

Truth behind Rachel Stevens’ squeaky-clean image after star spotted puffing on cigarette…as pals talk of ‘complex’ life

AFTER quitting smoking years ago, Rachel Stevens was spotted in a rare relapse as she puffed on a cigarette on a recent trip to London.

While many a celeb has been caught giving in to their smoking urges, the image is a far cry from her “clean girl” Instagram aesthetic and carefully curated social media, and Insiders tell The Sun that the cheeky cig-break is only a glimpse of the real Rachel, who has hidden behind her S Club 7 persona for years.

One source close to the singer says: “People have always had this perception of Rachel as the ultimate girl-next-door. She’s sweet, wholesome, polite and completely drama-free, but the truth is she’s always been far more complex than that.”

“Rachel has spent years carrying the weight of an image that was created when she joined the band aged just 19, and while she appreciated the love from fans, there were times when she felt trapped by the expectations.”

Even now, at 48, Rachel’s online world remains extremely polished.

Just days ago, she was posting perfectly styled outfits, wellness content and carefully framed snapshots of her life.

Scroll through Rachel’s social media, and you’ll find plenty of evidence of the lifestyle she has built her brand around. One day she’s sharing a Pilates session, the next she’s posting from the gym lifting weights or promoting healthy meals and wellness products. Yoghurt bowls, workout routines and clean living have become as much a part of her image as the pop career that made her famous.

What she wasn’t posting about was arguably one of the biggest professional moments she has had in years.

This summer, S Club reunited to support Boyzone on the first night of their Final Farewell tour at London’s Emirates Stadium.

It marked one of the band’s most significant performances since October 2023.

Yet while many artists would have flooded their feeds with backstage snaps and promotional content, Rachel largely stayed quiet. There were a handful of Stories and a Reel, but little fanfare.

Though some fans were left questioning her excitement, for those close to Rachel, it’s entirely typical.

Our source said: “Rachel has always separated the public version of herself from her private life. She doesn’t feel the need to broadcast everything she’s doing. People assume they know her because she’s been famous for so long, but actually she’s one of the more private people in show business.”

That privacy perhaps explains why so much of Rachel’s personal life has unfolded away from public view.

For years, she was considered to be in one of show business’s most stable relationships. Her marriage to childhood sweetheart Alex Bourne appeared rock solid.

The couple had first met as teenagers before reconnecting later in life, eventually marrying and having two daughters together. Which is why their split in 2022 sent shockwaves through fans.

Following the breakdown of her marriage, Rachel began dating Dancing On Ice professional Brendyn Hatfield. They were together for three years, before calling it quits last summer.

The relationship attracted huge attention, with speculation swirling about timelines and cheating rumours that Rachel was ultimately forced to deny. According to those close to her, the experience was deeply uncomfortable.

A pal said: “Having private matters become public talking points was incredibly difficult for Rachel.

“She’s always preferred to keep her personal life out of the spotlight. The divorce came as a shock not just to fans but to people around her too because they genuinely thought the marriage would last forever.”

Yet relationship drama is far from the only challenge Rachel has faced.

Perhaps the most startling chapter of her life came years earlier when she found herself caught up in two terrifying incidents within weeks of each other. In 2009, Rachel was violently attacked during a robbery at her North London home.

The singer later recalled being ambushed by a man who grabbed her around the neck and covered her mouth.

Speaking in court years later, she admitted she was left “absolutely terrified”. Just weeks after that ordeal, she found herself caught up in another traumatic incident while having dinner with family in St John’s Wood when a gunman opened fire nearby during a gangland shooting.

The experiences left a lasting mark – Rachel later revealed she suffered PTSD, anxiety and fears around travelling alone with strangers.

The star admitted: “The two incidents that happened so close together definitely caused a lot of post-traumatic stress. After that, I felt scared to even leave my house, get out of my car, and I was just very fearful.”

It was a side of the pop star the public rarely saw. After all, while Rachel was being voted one of the sexiest women in Britain and appearing on magazine covers, privately she was battling fears few fans knew existed.

The source adds: “Everyone assumed she was confident because she was on TV and branded one of the sexiest celebrities in the world every week. But privately she could be incredibly anxious and hard on herself.”

Even Rachel’s driving ban became a talking point because it didn’t fit the image many people had of her.

The singer appeared in court after accumulating 21 penalty points from five speeding offences and attempted to avoid a ban by explaining how it would affect work commitments and family life.

Again, it surprised many because it felt so at odds with the Rachel the public thought they knew. But insiders insist that’s precisely the point.

Our source explained: “She’s made mistakes, faced challenges and dealt with consequences when things have gone wrong. The idea that she’s some squeaky-clean pop robot isn’t accurate. But neither is the suggestion that there’s some secret wild side waiting to be exposed.”

Indeed, those closest to Rachel say these photos will reveal a whole new authentic side to the pop star.

An insider added: “What people are seeing now is a woman who’s much more comfortable being herself. The smoking pictures might surprise some fans, but those who know Rachel aren’t shocked.

“She’s never claimed to be perfect, and she’s certainly never lived her life trying to be a saint.”

For years, Rachel Stevens was boxed into a role she never quite chose: the impossibly perfect girl next door. But behind the green juices has always been somebody far more human.

As one insider puts it: “The real Rachel sits somewhere in the middle. Warm, emotional, resilient, occasionally rebellious and a lot more human than the image people have projected onto her for the last 25 years.”

And if a cigarette outside a venue is finally enough to remind people of that, Rachel probably won’t lose too much sleep over it.
